Microdrones: your eye in the sky
via videosift.com
The British Police are already testing these little drones for surveillance purposes. Vastly cheaper to run than a helicopter, they provide high-quality aerial video imagery, can hover for 20 minutes, and are rarely spotted from the ground.
The Real Rain Man : Kim Peek- the perfect memory;autistic savant
via videosift.com
Kim Peek is a man that can, and does, remember everything he's ever read. Also, like Mozart, he can remember every note of every song he's heard.
This is the documentary called "The real rain man." It is titled as such because the movie was based off of Kim Peek.
I know there is a clip like this on here already, but this one is longer; the other being a mash-up of the whole thing. Peek is so amazing I wanted to submit this as well as links to the other parts.

TED: Susan Savage-Rumbaugh - Animals which are a lot like us
via videosift.com
yes...comment copied from videosift:
Savage-Rumbaugh asks whether uniquely human traits, and other animals' behaviors, are hardwired by species. Then she rolls a video that makes you think: maybe not. The bonobo apes she works with understand spoken English. One follows her instructions to take a cigarette lighter from her pocket and use it to start a fire. Bonobos are shown making tools, drawing symbols to communicate, and playing Pac-Man -- all tasks learned just by watching. Maybe it's not always biology that causes a species to act as it does, she suggests. Maybe it's cultural exposure to how things are done.

Description copied from Videosift copied from Google video:
"One day in 1968, Jane Elliott, a teacher in a small, all-white Iowa town, divided her third-grade class into blue-eyed and brown-eyed groups and gave them a daring lesson in discrimination. This is the story of that lesson, its lasting impact on the children, and its enduring power thirty years later." [The original description from Google Video]
