Hong Kong Tram Ride 1967
Amazing film of Hong Kong in 1967. From Causeway Bay out to Western ( where the tram ran next to the shore) before the crazy land reclaimation began. Priceless footage.
Simplicity, explained in about ~145 slides. Simple is not simple.
A great addition to this explanation would be some discussion about modes.
A few examples they present include: a) a Microsoft Windows wizard experience, b) date choosers that use two separate month and year combo boxes instead of just one combined combo box.
In both cases, you take away control while introducing additional modes, which are invisible states that the user must divine through context clues around the implementation of the user experience. That's partially why engineers can make such truly awful UI -- but it makes sense to them because it matches their mental model.
Wizards encode modes into the fixed, rigid "choose-your-own-adventure" style of navigating seemingly disconnected questions that don't connect me with what is really happening. (GROSS!)
Ultimately the most telling slide is the one around progressive disclosure -- hide things where people will find them.
As an aside, I've been quite impressed with how Slideshare and Scribd have made Powerpoint docs super accessible. It's simply unprecedented how easy it is to absorb information in bite-sized chunks from such beautiful and well designed presentations.

These incredible images of waves were taken by the number 1 photographer of surf: Clark Little. He has dedicated his life to photographing the waves and has published a selection of the the best images of his career. He captures magical moments inside the "tube", as surfers say.

How to Prevent and Prepare for Swine Flu... Swine influenza is not currently a pandemic
How to Prevent and Prepare for Swine Flu
Swine Influenza (swine flu) is a respiratory disease of pigs caused bytype A influenza viruses. The symptoms are similar to that of the
familiar seasonal flu. As of April 29, 2009 there are a limited number
of laboratory confirmed cases: 172 in Mexico, 91 in the US, 13 in
Canada, and a handful of cases in Europe and Asia.[1] Swine influenza
is not currently a pandemic. In the event that swine flu becomes a pandemic, everyday life would be
disrupted because so many people in so many places become seriously
ill at the same time. Impacts can range from school and business
closings to the interruption of basic services such as public
transportation and food delivery. The following steps will help you
prepare for the worst case scenario >>> http://www.wikihow.com/Prevent-and-Prepare-for-Swine-Flu
