From Caltech
He was a Nobel Laureate, a raconteur, a humorist and a longtime professor and bright light in Pasadena. And now the legendary Richard Feynman and seven famed lectures he gave at his onetime academic home, Cornell, lie at the center of an admiration and extrapolation by Bill Gates, one of the best known technology-changers of recent time. The Microsoft czar so enjoyed what he learned and how with the Feynman books and lectures that he acquired the rights to the theoretical physicist's landmark seven talks from 1964 and now is making them public in a new educational format. At the core, of course, are the brilliant dissections of modern physics by a great theoretician; the dated but timeless black-and-white videos, however, have been surrounded by all manner of online interactive enhancements that will be the envy of anyone who has to spend time before an audience of any size talking about topics new and complex. There's a link to Microsoft's Tuva Project and a download of the Sliverlight software is required.
