    "But for someone just entering the industry, having the opportunity to give a ted talk would probably be a nice resume piece.

I preface this by saying I completely agree. But wouldn't it be hard to get into TED to begin with if you aren't already a prominent person in your particular industry? If that were the case, I'd still want those dollas, yo.

Haha, yea, probably. But it's not always the case. There've been some students or w/e going up and showing their projects that were innovative (sixth sense comes to mind). I don't think TED is all that selective as long as you can demonstrate you know what you are doing.
