You can find anything online. And using Google usually works... except when looking for the unedited, and apparently too-hot-for-the-internet video of Robin Williams during Google's keynote at CES.
Well, after nearly 5 months of late nights looking for this piece of internet history, I have succeeded:
I actually didn't spend too much time looking for it, but I figured that it would've been easier to find by now then when I first looked for it in January. Using Google, I couldn't find anything after 70 results. Using Windows Live Search, I found it at result number 39.
The video is 1 hour and 15 minutes long. Robin Williams comes in at the introduction of Google Video (31 minutes into the video) and then comes back for the QA session (53 minutes into the video).
I can see how some things Robin Williams said can be a bit overboard, but it was all good stuff. The real reason it seems it was taken out could be because someone worried about how it would reflect on Google as a company.

A Google Image Search has sent me into the future of NEC technologies. Upon closer examination, the Internet Archive shows this area of the NEC Design Japanese website was originally launched in 2003 to show "Near-Future Ubiquitous Networking Devices Visualized by Designers."
Some of the potential products described are pretty interesting. The mobile phone and the pen gadget seem the most marketable.
