Microsoft Celebrates Feynman 50-year Anniversary

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the over-your-head dept.

Julie188 writes "A couple of years ago Microsoft acquired the rights to the famed filmed lecture series by Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman and posted them online for all to see via its Project Tuva site. As part of the 50-year anniversary of the lectures, the Project Tuva site now includes commentary from MIT physics professor Robert Jaffe. Project Tuva still requires Silverlight (alas, not HTML5), but does offer some nifty features for the aspiring physics student, such as search and the ability to take notes."

    Please, tell us how Silverlight is awesome, blah blah blah.

    Man, I cannot wait for HTML5 to end this bullshit. For the record, I also hate Flash, and download YouTube videos to desktop to view them.

    Its not Microsofts fault your particular setup doesn't work

    It's not a question of whose fault it is. The bottom line is this is just another internet grab from MS. We just got out from under "This website only works in internet explorer" now you expect us to get right back into an MS only web? Yeah, right.
