I'm quite interested in this talk. Haven't finished yet, just watched the first part last night.

But I gotta say, I find the graphical background (the blurry text around the edge of the screen that's constantly moving and changing) supremely annoying, not to mention completely unnecessary.

Dear presenters and conference producers: please, please don't do that.

Yes, visual noise is bad and an attention hijack. Zooming in helps a bit, though precise zooming isn't always available...
