UC Berkeley & Google Video Provide Free Videos

UC Berkeley is collaborating with Google to provide everyone with video lectures of courses, events and more.
http://video.google.com/ucberkeley.html


This is wonderful for a number of reasons:

1. Prospective University students can get a chance to see what lectures are like
2. They can look into a specific subject and see if they are interested
3. Those who want to expand their horizon can do so for free (such as me)
   

I have watched the first Physics lecture (link), which was a little too basic for me but would be very good for most people as a general introduction. The second lecture was a good informations systems lecture (link) by Sergey Brin (Google co-founder) .

There is a lot available as you can see below but let's hope it will not end here.
