A Google spokesperson told us that there were copyright issues with including the “Robin Williams portion” of Larry Page’s keynote at CES last week in the “official keynote video” that was released yesterday. However, that didn’t mean that an audience member wasn’t recording “Robin Williams at Larry Page’s CES Keynote *Uncensored*.” Now, guess where you can view the video? You got it, Google Video! It’s available (at least at the present time) here. The quality isn’t great but hey, we’re able to see and hear what people who were just a few feet away in an “overflow” room couldn’t. Thanks to Philipp and a post in the GB Forum for the news tip.
