I can’t stand this dude’s voice inflection at the end of almost every sentence!!!!
yeah, mine too, Intermediate Microeconomics… after 5 semester studing of econimics, I love hate this book… some other books of him, too…
no… there are more bore videos in YouTube… believe me…. :)
This is very very long and boring!
I think the points he makes on Computers as Accountants about how computers will “allow us to structure more elaborate contracts and potentially improve economic efficiency” was very interesting. And earlier in the speech when he talks about testing scenarios.
extremely awesome presentation
Something tells me this is a push for Wave or Google Checkout… but really, what’s the point? All I’m seeing here are examples of existing technology and why the technology is useful. Is this a 101 lecture or something? I feel more stupid now.
