Google Tech TalksFebruary, 7 2008ABSTRACTA few years ago, development of the X Window System was revitalized by a change in management and the rise of a new generation of machines and operating systems. This talk is a tour of X, with emphasis on the things that are new and the things that are to come: advances in 2D rendering, use of 3D hardware, high-quality typography, revamped input support, client-side migration of responsibilities, and new support for the critical layers of software between the server and the toolkit. It's the seventh Year of the Linux Desktop, and the future has never looked shinier.Speaker: Keith Packard, Intel Keith Packard was employee number three at the MIT X Consortium, and has written a substantial portion of the open-source X Window System server. He currently works for Intel, and is a founding Board Member of the X.Org Foundation.Speaker: Barton C Massey, Portland State University Bart Massey is an Associate Professor of Computer Science at Portland State University, and Secretary of the X.Org Foundation. His current research interests are in development and deployment of open hardware and software technologies.

I disagree with that. I found both speakers to be quite ok and entertaining (for technical talk entertaining means they kept me interested)

Bart is a terrible speaker, that stupid little laugh he does at the end of most sentences is irritating. Unfortunate as the actual context of the presentation is very good.

Inaccuracies: @35:50, Bart says "one of the big problems in the [...] Windows world is if you have magic APIs for [...] the screen and they're different from [...] printable stuff"This is a load of tosh. Windows uses the same APIs for both. It's Unix that has had a historical problem here - X for display, PS for printing. Windows has long had GDI API drawing on a device context. Pass a printer DC to a WM_PAINT handler (to gloss over the details) and hey presto, a printed window.

That guy is so annoying in the way he talks... it hurts my ears.He should do a comedian workshop just stop the "funky" talking.

Where is the download option? When tech talks were on Google Video, they could be downloaded and played back offline, such as on plane flights etc. Now they can't. This deeply sucks, hence the 1/5 rating.
