BIO:
Scoble gives you a front-row seat on the future.
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.

++++++++
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?

Robert,
I thought that you might use an offline edi9tor like the OPML Editor or something like w.bloggar to do your blog posts?
After using programs like that, I will never go back to writing my posts on the web.

Why would you use Internet Explorer anyways? You’re not with Microsoft, so feel free to admit that you want to switch to Firefox because it kicks ass. Oh, and I’m typing this from OpenBSD using links. Yes, I’m using a TEXT BROWSER. w00t, I’m hardcore. 😉

Robert, why don’t you use Word 2007 to do your blog posts? Beta 2 seems like it’s pretty stable for such tasks; far more so than a web browser, especially since it has auto-backup.

How come your site’s title is still “Microsoft Geek Blogger”? (does that still fit well for you or have you just not gotten around to changing it? 😉
What version of Firefox are you using? (1.5 or are you testing out 2.0, aka Bon Echo? Also, have you tried Opera 9? a comment or two about IE 7 vs FF 2 vs Opera 9 would make a great post, BTW… hint hint 😉 and are you using any extensions or themes? (if you’ve customized it a bit, I don’t suppose you’d mind sending a screenshot to the Firefox Screencap Project? 🙂 http://katyggls.blogspot.com/2006/06/firefox-screencap-project.html)

Dunno if it applies to your case, but I have a BenQ notebook that works wonderfully well EXCEPT that sometimes it won’t come back from sleep mode IF I’ve unplugged any USB devices while it was dormant. That is, suppose I have a USB keyboard and mouse, and I put the laptop to sleep and then unplug them. I have to remember to plug them back in (possibly even in the same port; I don’t remember if that affects things) otherwise when I tell it to wake up it just sits there with a DOS cursor at the top left of a black screen until I press and hold the off switch to reset it.
Presumably it’s all to do with one part of the system not realising it’s been asleep, and getting confused about whether it needs to wait for all its bits and pieces to come back on line. Maybe this is what happened to you?
Incidentally: how’s the reliability of IE7? Better than the previous ones? I’ve had no complaints about IE6 from that POV; I just use Firefox because it’s not 2001 any more, and I prefer not to use abandonware if I can avoid it. I’ll check out IE7 when it arrives, but it won’t convince me to switch; it won’t be as good as Firefox at the things I care about, being as I am a web developer.

It is only a matter of time before the Scoblizer comes into the light. You can only hold out for so long until you realize that everyone else in the web 2.0 world uses Macs. And yes you can still use Mac Office (which by the way is Windoes Office 2007 only released a couple of years ago).

Well you got company at least, take a gander around the Tablet PC scene, Lenovo models are Horror Story Double-Features, not to mention running with Vista (I had tons of lock-ups on my Tosh test laptop, so much that gave up).
Opera 9.01 just got released, and although it has no Firefoxy extensions, it’s faster than a rocket. Opera 9 becoming my browser de jour. I haven’t used IE as a workhorse in years, and if needed, usually with the Avant front-end. The Opera tie-in with Bitorrent is an annonyance however, wish they made that optional.

I usually edit (and periodically save) longer posts in Visual Web Developer (as HTML files). This has eliminated the frustration I use to have when the computer gods decided to punish me. Which for me, I blog a lot, was several times per week.

Doc Searls had lots of problems with his Macs over the years. Macs aren’t immune from hardware problems either. Always back up, no matter what your religion is!

Ah-ha! Now you see why I stick with clunky old MSN Spces. At least it has the blog-by-email function, and the random “burp” at the beginning of each post is easily removed.
I’m currently using Firefox as my default browser, but that won’t last. It annoys me greatly.

I used Fox for about a year and I really liked being able to use all the extensions. But I switched to Opera recently simply because the latest versions of Fox have become incredibly hardware-hungry, and on an 18-month-old office laptop this is simply ridiculous. Opera works fine for me, not so many extensions but then, it has some nice features (like RSS feeds and a much better download manager) built in by default… and doesn’t take ages loading…

How to use the Recovery Console from the Microsft website
You can enable and disable services, format drives, read and write data on a local drive (including drives that are formatted to use the NTFS file system), and perform many other administrative tasks. The Recovery Console is particularly useful if you have to repair your computer by copying a file from a disk or CD-ROM to your hard disk, or if you have to reconfigure a service that is preventing your computer from starting correctly.
If you cannot start your computer, you can run the Recovery Console from the Microsoft Windows XP startup disks or the Windows XP CD-ROM. This article describes how to perform this task.
After Windows XP is installed on your computer, to start the computer and use the Recovery Console you require the Windows XP startup disks or the Windows XP CD-ROM.
For more information about how to create Startup disks for Windows XP (they are not included with Windows XP), click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
310994 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310994/) Obtaining Windows XP Setup boot disks
Note To start the computer from the Windows XP CD-ROM, you must configure the basic input/output system (BIOS) of the computer to start from your CD-ROM drive.
