Guess what this is

[RBS]

You're right it does look like Elton John's glasses but not him. You are right about being a video. What would make it historical? (I usually embed a hint in the title of pictures)

[Jones]

Is it the first music video?

[RBS]

That's close enough. The first video aired on MTV. The Buggle's Video Killed the Radio Star

[Jones]

Next one has a name or a milestone; either one works:

[RBS]

That's the Xerox Alto, 1972. I think it was mostly a word processor but had features of windows, mouse and other stuff that Apple and Microsoft...er sorta ripped off because they didn't patent any of it.

[Jones]

Yup. It was also the first pc to use a mouse. I heard somewhere that Xerox made the first home coputer, not Apple. Good job.

[RBS]

Thanks. Here you go. Only one answer possible here...one 14 letter word.

[dia]

Erm..I'm a bit confused...what are we looking for? the name of the firm of the bottle or the other guy?

edit: i found the photo with the girl

and the only 14-letter word i see is
nebuchadnezzar bottle

[RBS]

The name of the bottle (size) and the name of the man are the same.


Edit: WTG Dia, Nebuchadnezzar is the answer. He was a biblical King.

[dia]

Thank you!
In Greek, his name is a lot different...lol!

next one: what's the name of this?

[Crimsonthread]

Erm... is it a robot version of a common household item?

[dia]

i'll leave some hints because i got to go
4 layer, full function, illuminated remote control
72 pre-programmed functions
sleep: enters sleep mode after 5 minutes, powers down after 24 hours
control style of walking (i.e., crab walk, stomp walk, rotation walking)

[Jones]

Roboquad
Next one (name of building):

[RBS]

is it the Walt Disney Concert Hall?

Edit: It's the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, also by Frank Gehry. Looking....

[Jones]

No, but must admit they look very similar. This is a museum.
EDIT: Yes, good job finding it, RBS.

That's the bike from Pee Wee's Big Adventure, right?
