Scott Isaacs posted the other day that the Windows Live team released an update for Opera users. Turns out he’s been working with the Opera team on that support. Glad to see yet another team working with non-Microsoft browsers.

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.'

Cool. That’s good news Robert. I’m starting to like Opera as a browser compared with Firefox.
Haven’t figured out why I’m liking Opera more though. I was using Firefox since the early days (0.5 onwards).
I think Opera, just seems much more “polished”. And that’s not saying Firefox sucks. Just complimenting Opera. Though I still use IE for most things. But as an alternate to IE, I do like Opera over the others.

I have used FF and Opera extensively, but I always come back to IE? Why? Simplicity. I’m really looking forward to IE7 and all it offers.
I’m one of the few people who don’t like Google. At all. I think what MS is bringing out is superior and I think that MSN Search is just as good or better. One of the things that bothers me about FF and Opera, as well as other browsers is how everything has to include something about Google. Not everyone uses Google or even appreciates Google. Their search is not all that. There is better out there. FF can be changed easily, but Opera has to have its .ini files altered and there is no real simple, elegant or even well documented way to add the various search engines.
Opera is OK, but trying to add everthing and the sink into a browser is just nuts. A browser should be just that — a browser — a way to view sites, read email and feeds.
It’s just a matter of time before IE gains market share that has been lost to FF. Opera will always be a marginal player, much like Apple is. Take away iTunes and the iPod and Apple falls from the public awareness so fast it’s not funny.
