Watching this video gave me a different feeling than you guys... Probably because I'm a french speaker, but the "needy children" thing did not bother me much... What bothers me is more the whole video : he's talking to other scientists about us, like if we knew nothing about what we are doing... Like : "It's so funny to see people begging to help science, they are dumb people who just can't achieve the intelligence level that we have, but we said 'OK, you can participate by giving your CPU cycles'... and guess what : they ate that, the whole thing, so we get more computers for free than what we could ever buy!!!"

I feel like if the other scientists were as geek (is it the right word?) as him, they would have started to laugh near the end of the video.... but no, seems like the audience respect us, and they didn't fell into the joke Baker was telling with a smile...
