  - Upcoming Unsifted Videos - active video submissions that neither are published to the front page nor archived to the submitter's personal queue
- Have you seen a really funny, surprising, scary, interesting, cute or in any other way extra good quality video?
  Post and share it here - VideoSift is the best video aggregator on the Web, where we share, discuss, promote, and interact with the best videos out there on the web. Post it here, and share it with the large community of video-interested users. And - you are guaranteed to find more very good videos here already!
  Mind you, we only share videos you discover that someone else has made; if you "self link," by posting a video you have made, have posted or have interests in, you risk the ban hammer - read the posting guidelines before posting. The sift is NOT for promoting your own videos - it is for sharing videos others have made.

K. Eric Drexler - Productive Nanosystems: Toward a Super-Exponential Threshold in Physical Technology (Full Title)

The Singularity Summit symposium hosted by Stanford University was a series keynote addresses given with the purpose of addressing the very real implications that the Singularity may hold in the near future in an academic setting, and (without being too melodramatic on my part) to question what the very fate of the human species may be in the 21st century.

Saving this video from queue deletion, sending it to the top of the queue for one more try. Originally submitted on Monday 11th June 2007 (save called by gold star member bl968)

Thanks for that, I submitted this, and then when I was in "step 2" where it is checked for duplicates, I noticed I hadn't associated it with any group, so I just hit the back button and tried again. Resubmitting failed because it found a dupe (this one), but with a Discarded tag on it. I really didn't know how to fix it

Interesting, but I wish I could have seen the slides he was showing.

I have seen them in other presentations; you're not missing much. Mostly slides of devices made out of lots and lots of spheres. Kind of like how you have to build things in Second Life

I'm kidding of course, they were interesting, but it doesn't take a lot away from the talk not to have them, though I agree it would have been better with.

His tongue habit is gross.
