Mozilla and IE, sitting in a tree…

Augmented Reality 0 Minutes

Over on the Internet Explorer blog they just posted that the IE team went down to meet with Mozilla to decide on an RSS icon. Turns out the IE team is adopting the icon used in Firefox. Anyway, details are on the IE blog. Sure to be on Memeorandum in a few minutes.

Literally. He had the first ride in the first Tesla. Siri was launched in his house. He's been the first to share all sorts of technologies and companies with you, from Flipboard to Pandora to Instagram. Today he's focusing on mixed reality, AKA "next-generation augmented reality" which will include a new user interface for EVERYTHING in your life (IoT, Smart Cities, driverless cars, robots, drones, etc). That's based on his view thanks to his past experience as futurist at Rackspace. Best place to find Scoble? On his Facebook profile at https://www.facebook.com/RobertScoble He has been a technology blogger since 2000, was one of five people who built Microsoft's Channel 9 video blog/community, worked at Fast Company Magazine running its TV efforts, and has been part of technology media businesses since 1993. ++++++++ SPEAKER PITCH: Apple and Facebook now have revealed their Augmented Reality strategies, which means your business needs one too. Rely on Robert Scoble, the world's top authority on AR, to bring to your conference what businesses should do next. SPEECH ABSTRACT #1: TITLE: The Fourth Transformation: What's next in mixed reality (AR and AI) and the future of technology? Here's an example of this talk at Leade.rs in Paris in April, 2017: https://youtu.be/52_0JshgjXI Why "the Fourth Transformation?" Soon we will have phones and glasses that do full on augmented reality. Everything you look at will potentially be augmented. This world is coming in late 2017 with a new iPhone from Apple, amongst other products. Microsoft is betting everything on its HoloLens glasses that do mixed reality and the industry is spending many billions of dollars in R&D and funding new companies like Magic Leap. This future will be the user interface for IoT, Smart Cities, autonomous cars, robots, drones, and your TV. This is a big deal and Robert will take you through what mixed reality is and how it will change every business. Learn more about Robert's speaking style and contact his agent at http://odemanagement.com/robert-scoble/Robert-Scoble.html ++++++++ SPEECH ABSTRACT #2: "The Next Two Clicks of Moore's Law." Over the next four years, or two clicks of Moore's Law, a ton about our technology world will change. Scoble will bring you the best from his travels visiting R&D labs, startups, and innovators around the world. He views the world through his rose-colored-mixed-reality glasses, which will be the new user interface for self driving cars, Smart Cities, IoT, and many other things in our world. He'll send you off with some lessons for companies both large and small. ++++++++ SPEECH ABSTRACT #3: "Personalized Meaning: What is Augmented Reality For?" As we enter a far more technological world where even cars drive themselves, I predict we'll see a blowback toward the analog, more authentic world. What role does augmented reality play in both worlds? Get Scoble's insight into where augmented reality is going, see tons of real-world demos, and understand what he means by 'personalized meaning.'

  7. Scobleizer, that’s a stupid post of yours. The Linux folks must replicate the Windows UI in order to make the Linux UI a playground that people know already.

  9. OK, so IE 6 leaks like a sieve. Basically it falls over after 5 or 6 interactions on an ajax based web page. Why? Memory leaks leaks leaks. For every XMLRPC request, it leaks more than half the memory allocated.

    Which means its totally Web 1.0 capable at best. And the IE team is wasting our time picking out ICONS?

    Fix what you’ve got and get it out there so I can stop busting my ass coding around your illegally obtained monopolistic garbage.

    What a bunch of tools.

  11. This is indeed excellent news. Not only because of the collaboration between the two camps, but because the orange XML and RSS icons are not being used.

    A feed is a feed whether it uses RSS, Atom. The orange XML one is especially misleading. Dave Winer is gonna be unhappy about this news! 🙂

    RSS is just a file format. As is Atom. Personally I like a more generic term, like MS’s Web Feeds. And what people call it, it doesn’t matter. Google calls their Gmail feeds “web clips” (or something like that). That’s all fine. Feed me baby!!! 🙂

  13. Innocent bystander – IE6 is still in beta. Firefox 1.5 is currently falling over every 5 hours on my PC. I know what I’ll gladly be using IE6 once Vista is released. Firefox is a dog. It sucks up my memory with multiple tabs and cripples my 2GB AMD 3600+.

  15. Coulter: you should be taking the opposite viewpoint. IE team DID come up with icons, which seemed rather overbearing of them. They went ahead and worked with Mozilla to decide on a single one, which is a very good non-Microsoft thing to do. Even better, they went with Firefox’s icon.

  17. Good for the IE team. This shows they recognize Mozilla as a player in this space rather than dismissing it or calling it a “cancer”. A positive development, no doubt.

  19. MK: Runs like a dog? I must say I have not experienced that at all. IE, at least version 6, is just not there anymore. When I see someone using IE I just can’t understand why they would. The speed, the tabs, extensions, etc., etc., of FF are some of many reasons to switch. Of course, that is until you hit a website which doesn’t play friendly and requires IE. 🙂

  21. MK – are you high?

    “IE6 is still in beta.”

    IE 6 is 5 years old and a buggy piece of crap. It is the garbage browser that MS insisted was core to the Windows OS and was convicted of foisting upon the public against their best interest by the US DOJ.

    Did you mean IE 7? So fix the bugs in 6, call it 7, and ship it. Put new features in IE 8 or 9 or something. Bottom line, MS’s flagship browser is the worst one on the web and as a web developer, all I want to say to M$ this week is “ASSHOLES GET A CLUE AND FIX YOUR HACK!”

  24. I really can’t see what all the fuss is over an icon. Now if they got together and discuseed compliance with the w3c I would be alittle more jovial about hte whole matter.

    I am truly tired of having to come up with hacks for IE – no matter what version. So why don’t they just pay Mozilla to give ’em a a good browser and then IE can start up from there?

  26. I prefer using Firefox on my home PC and work laptop but on my kid’s PC it’s IE for them. Why? Because they have an older PC running Win98SE (since some of their games wouldn’t run in XP and 98SE seemed like a good compromise). Initially I put Firefox on for them but it did run like a dog. Hence the switch to IE on their machine. I also couldn’t tie firefox in with their active desktop the way I wanted as I’ve set it up so that their desktop has links to their favourite (safe) websites.
