This is awesome. What he's talking about has basically become the basis of a huge part of marketing (not advertising) / STP ... conjoint analysis stuff, perceptual map stuff, all have to do with this stuff ... Howard Moskowitz is a pretty well-known name in the marketing field, too, I think

I found his book: http://www.whartonsp.com/store/product.aspx?isbn=0136136680&rll=1

good video,

he approached the statistics from the tests in a very good way, that was the best bit of the video for me,

the fact that we all like different things doesn't suprise me in the slightest, heck I have 5 different types of coffee I can make depending on how I feel :P

Wow, that was really good. It was a fantastic demonstration of how data analysis is not a mechanical, robotic operation but a creative mathematical art where simple, fundamental innovation in mathematics can rapidly transform the real world.

TED is really interesting, I think Leo Laporte was at this years one. I don't know what he talked about though.

These are both really good as well.

I had heard of TED but had never really looked in to. Thanks for sharing. This will keep me occupied for a very long time.
