I like Ok Go, They have an interesting way of using non-cgi to make interesting music videos... however looking at this video from a technical project standpoint... do the browser features (aka: HTML5) really add anything to this video? Don't get me wrong, the capabilities of the browser are really neat, and I bet it was quite the project to put this together. But, the technology doesn't really add anything visually to the video. It just stacks windows next to and on top of each other... might as well skip the multiple windows and just create frames or for that sake, just have them in a single video... I think Arcade Fire's video at http://www.thewildernessdowntown.com/ was a lot more interesting and a lot better use of web-tech. For one, it used Google maps data in a little more interesting of a way than simply writing out your message w/ feet. Also, they were able to use single backdrop with objects popping up in windows in different areas rather than just a matrix of windows playing a different video stream.

It also means that 35% on consumers can't be trusted to make well thought out decisions...

It looks like the base of the buildings in The Jetsons... sounds to me like we will soon be selling real estate at the top of these towers... all the power for the building will be supplied by its own structure...

Definitely go, I went to an undergrad Physics conference and loved the experience. You should look into Couch surfing, I bet there are a lot of people who live in Utah willing to put you up.... They're generally pretty friendly in Utah, I should know, I live here.

Some people have commented on having opt-out adds... while that would be a good option I think it might be a better idea to have people opt-in. I see a problem with ads in Wikipedia because, as other have said, a large amount of internet users would probably read a Wikipedia article and believe everything on it. Some probably wouldn't be able to discern when an ad starts and stops. This leads to someone reading an ad thinking its part of the article and now they think that "Tirezone is the #1 best store everywhere" is an outright fact instead of some advertisers lie. Opt in solves this, because by enabling ads, the person will be aware that there are ads, and people who are likely to just believe anything because "the internet said so." are less likely to enable opt-in ads. I also think people would be willing to opt-in to ads more easily than they would be willing to donate money.
