I wanted to play the piano today. Now I can't.

Having seen her, I feel like - like having two feet on my arms.

Blown away.

Thanks TED, thanks BMW ;-)

Indeed an exciting presentation. She is wonderful.

It's fantastic to have access to such great contents as those TEDTalks' Podcasts are bringing to us.

I am an enthusiastic Podcaster and TEDTalks are my favourite.

Congratulations!!

It is amazing when someone is that good. It seemed to me that she even exceeded the ability if the technology used to capture the video. The quality of the footage wasn't quite good enough to truly catch the intricate movements of her hands. Just one big blur. Simply amazing.

Thanks for posting this. FYI: The MP3 audio and MP4 video download links don't work.
