Project Tuva: Feynman Lectures
- mikedouglas 17y agoQuite excited about this, but Silverlight seems to freeze at the start of "Preparing Content...". Using a Mac w/ Safari 4. Disappointing.
- jgamman 17y agoyep - same here at the same place. macbook pro FF 3.0.11
- anonymousDan 17y agoMine freezes at the same place on a dell using IE...
- traskjd 17y agoI get the same - on Windows. Given it seems to impact all OS/Browser combos I can't help but think it's something wrong at their end more than something being inherently wrong with Silverlight on your (platform||browser)
- cing 17y agoI get the same on Mac w/ Firefox 3.0.4 and Safari 3.2.3
- Bjoern 17y agoI get a "Your Browser is incompatible" with Firefox but at least I can see it's "Powered by Microsoft Silverlight". SIGN
- justlearning 17y agobrowser caution: doesn't work with chrome or opera. FF 3.5 ok. IE 8 ok. I am watching "relation betn maths/physics" . This also answered one of the questions about learning math some days back. At about 13.50, He talks about how people try to avoid math(many questions I see here point to learning stuff bypassing math). The language he uses is so crisp (with NY rich accent)is so 'listenable' unlike the slangy english nowadays. The subtitles are also cool. I wait for comments from RiderOfGiraffes.
- siddhant 17y agoDoesn't seem to work for me on FF 3.5. It just gives a Browser not supported message.
- CamperBob 17y agocan't think, Bill Gates will eat me can't think, Bill Gates will eat me can't think, Bill Gates will eat me
- CamperBob 17y agoOh, come on. You can't tell me you weren't freaked out when 1/6 of your monitors' real estate was taken over by his smiling visage next to Feynman's.
- bshep 17y agoThe page doesnt even load here, have tried with FF, Opera and IE (in Parallels)
- Feynman 17y agoSilverlight? Great... I die and my lectures are only viewable with Silverlight... :>
- Tichy 17y agoThey've created the ultimate geek virus to make us use Silverlight :-( I guess I'll wait for some hacker to convert this to a viewable format.
- sbt 17y agoYea seriously. This is beyond the most evil scheme I ever thought Microsoft capable of concocting. Can somebody please put this in a torrent?
- discojesus 17y agoI think I speak for every Feynmanophile when I say OH FUCK YES.
- johnohara 17y agoDisappointed with the side-by-side photo. The proximity of the photos belies the fact that with regard to speaking, the two men are many light years apart. However, thank you for purchasing the lectures and making them available. It's a good use of funds. No problems w/silverlight, FF 3.0, winXP.
- embeddedradical 17y agoIt seems many of you have a problem with silverlight (not really sure why, I can't see a philosophical difference between that and Flash and I personally haven't ever run into any technical problems with it). You have to admit though, that interface is awesome. When I first saw this last night, I was impressed - the subtitles expand into the full transcript, the extras fluidly work with the video while it is playing, and it seems they had some bandwidth issues in the first few hours and during that time smooth playback was in effect, and although the video would hiccup at those points (rarely), the audio was smooth and I liked that. Really, the only thing I can think of to complain about is that when you full screen it, the background is white. For media, black seems to work nicer on the eyes. A wonderful interface, high quality video and audio, and of course the content - Feynman - is just wow ... I'm a very happy person right now....although I was up pretty late watching these videos, and so I'm a very happy tired person right now....

- Dilpil 17y agoAnd here we were, thinking bill had bought them as a public service.
- aduric 17y agoThis guy on Youtube has some Feynman lecture videos: http://www.youtube.com/user/carlosjerez23 http://www.youtube.com/user/carlosjerez23 Are they the same ones?
