I see your point and how it's somewhat in-between but would argue that my metaphor is closer.
The TED stage has a well-known role that's clearly understood by everyone there. I would never get ask to go up on stage to demo Google. Larry and Sergey would. If I got asked to demo someone else's work, it wouldn't slip my mind. While it sounds short, 2 mins is a pretty long time.
As I mentioned, just my opinion. But I do think someone's got to stick up for the developers who wrote the sw.
I usually hate these tempest-in-a-teapot flame wars, but I'll actually have to disagree here. He gave a whole demo on stage claiming credit a bunch of times. I went to the FLAR toolkit page and downloaded the demo apps. This is exactly identical to the demo, just with the logos swapped. There is not one bit of original work that I can see. I'd like to believe it's an accident, but it seems like if I demoed Google with my logo slapped on it and accidentally forgot to mention that someone else wrote the search engine.
Download the toolkit and check--I'd love to be wrong, but I don't see how. And it would be unfair to pretend this is a slip a steal credit from the people who clearly spent years actually building it.
