(Amazing!) Bill Gates Does The Unthinkable- Posts Feynman Lectures For Free!!!!
I couldn’t believe it when my friend Steve Friedman sent me this list containing seven Richard Feynman lectures. Apparently, Bill Gates has purchased the rights (to many of the Feynman lectures) and posted them for free on his Microsoft Research Labs “Project Tuva”. I can’t recommend these enough, Feynman had the ability of teaching science in a simple, insightful, and eloquent manner. Please watch these tonight. That’s your homework ladies and gentleman. See you soon.

Introduction (Via Cnet)
Gates first saw the series of lectures 20 years ago on vacation and dreamed of being able to make them broadly available. After spending years tracking down the rights–and spending some of his personal fortune–Gates has done just that. Tapping his colleagues in Redmond to create interactive software to accompany the videos, Gates is making the collection available free from the Microsoft Research Web site.
Gates said that he hoped his action would serve as a model for taking great educational content and making it broadly available for free.
“When a lecture is presented as well as this, it draws more people in to understanding science.” Gates told CNET News. “And over time I hope there’s more like this.”
