The Simplicity Principle: Ken Segall at TEDxSiliconAlley

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

"simple" has become the new FAD. Simple.

[plutoplatters]

"simplicity" is "simply" rebelling against too much.

I believe that if the solution is not elegant, then it is not correct.

I think the meat and potatoes of this speech were good. It might be good to broaden the topic beyond apple and microsoft too. Simplicity can be evident everywhere.
I think Ken went a little overboard with the self deprecating comments. It made us, the listener, believe that Ken was uneasy about his message.

You mean simplicity comes from a sweatshop in Asia?

[scooby]

Interesting subject topic but the way it was delivered was not appealing. There's a lot of bias, which annoys me as a user of multiple types of media and software, operating systems, and so on.

[mamakaka]

[eman_twa]

[DRB-Octane]

3:45 its not do to with 1 or 5 dollar coffees, and Yes, with the mass volume of goods that mcdonalds can transform into 1 dollar coffees, ...but since you getting a coffee, you will buy other stuff too... probably... power is not innocent, and mcdonalds never does something nice for the consumers alone, if theres no profits behind it...
dont ask us to be that naive...
