There are a few UX-related videos on TED.com as well. Here’s a few I enjoyed:

More directly related to UX:
IDEO’s David Kelley on UCD: http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/view/id/122
Media Lab’s John Maeda on Simplicity: http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/view/id/172

Less directly related, but I found inspirational to the design process (among others):
Thoughts on collaboration: http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/view/id/216
Needing places we care about: http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/view/id/121
Observing nature to inspire design: http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/view/id/195

I was impressed with the “Disappearing Car Door” clip that I saw recently. It reminds me, quite literally, that good design often means getting out of the way of the user. And this is an example of design motivated by enhancing the customer experience.

These are the reactions during a focus group that was held to see the results had Chiat/Day conducted creative testing for Apple’s ‘1984′ commercial.

Family Ties episode titled - “Death of a Grocer” (1982) - Alex leaves his job at a small grocery store for an ultramodern supermarket.

Quote - “They call you 28? Even Cats have names” (as Alex talks about the non personal feel of working at the supermarket and being a “staff number” versus the personal feel of the corner grocer). Timeless!

He even mentions “the human factor”

Here’s just the section from that Office episode that Chris is referring to (Hulu lets you create bookmarks to sections of episodes, very useful in cases like this).

Hello, Peter! I’ve created two playlists at Youtube, to use in my introductory interaction design classes:

“Interaction Design: Experiments”, collection of videos on interactive experiments, installations and interface design:

Oh, another a great one from The Office:

Steve Corel: “I drove my fucking car into a lake. Why, you may ask did I do this? Well, because of a machine (looks at Ryan). A machine told me to drive into a lake. And I did it. I did it because I trusted Ryan’s precious technology. And look where it got me?….I tell you one thing, those gift baskets never endangered anybody else’s life.”

I don’t have a clip but the whole episode is on hulu: http://www.hulu.com/watch/9183/the-office-dunder-mifflin-infinity-part-two

I know have a whole list of UX greatest hits in the back of my brain somewhere. This is gonna be a good thread.
