What makes TED obnoxious is that they market it so heavily (all those videos) but exclude most people. It's fine to have private conferences, and fine to promote conferences, but it is nasty to do both.

Jeez, they copied the YC application questions just like Techstars did.

This is almost as embarrassing as Kansas mandating that creationism be taught in biology classes.

I'd try Hampshire College, UC Santa Cruz, or the New School.

I wouldn't read too much into it. My experience of the corporate world so far suggests that any group whose name explicitly mentions innovation doesn't actually do anything.
