One for my son

Uncategorized 0 Minutes

Patrick, if you haven’t figured it out yet, is a total Steve Jobs love child. He always is pointing out those new Apple ads.

So, you can be sure I’ll show him this spoof of those ads this morning. Contains some adult language. Nothing a 12-year-old hasn’t heard on a playground somewhere, though.

We’ll be leaving soon, got my GPS and my EVDO card all ready for the trip. Streets and Trips 2006 is pretty sweet, by the way. Definitely cool things to have on a road trip.

Update: Patrick didn’t think these were funny. Heheh. New ways to torture your 12-year-old.

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.

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.'

  6. Netwrkr: Really? I also didn’t think they were funny. Especially Version 1.3: What is funny about “Shut the f*ck up”? Dude, you should rewatch those Apple ads. Those things have humor and punchlines and stuff.

  8. Stephan: are you a Steve Jobs lovechild like Patrick is? That might explain why you didn’t find them funny.

    The Apple ones cost hundreds of thousands, maybe even millions, of dollars to do. I’m sure these were done for a lot less than that.

  11. Robert: No I’m not, I’m writing this on an Asus Aspire with Ubuntu Linux (yeah, one of those…). I just didn’t think the spoof was funny. Basically, the PC guy came off like a jerk. And no, it has nothing to do with money, it’s the script. 🙂

    The younger generation is always smarter than the last. Don’t arrest you son’s development just because you prefer that crap Microsoft shoves down your throat.

  33. What’s a producer to do???? We created those spots at Best Week Ever, put them up on our site and iFilm and You Tube… but the version you link to was “co-opted” by Gizmodo. They put THEIR slate on the front, and chopped off our “watch best week ever every friday night at 11” at the end.

    We distribute a TON of our content free — including our entire episode! But how do we deal with people claiming it’s theirs?

    Or does it not matter…

    Thoughts?

  42. This is really funny, especially the way the Mac guy uses the language. But both characters come off as unlikable jerks. This is clearly not pandering to PC lovers either (assuming there is such a thing as a PC lover, bar Microsoft employees).

    Apple works hard at projecting this hyper-meta-cool brand, and they do it well. But an image like that is fragile, and I’m starting to smell a backlash.

  44. @ Fred Graves: That sucks. Try doing what the networks do and insert a watermark in the bottom corner of your content?

    My first (bad) instinct is to send them a nastygram. Allowing cooler heads to prevail, though, I’d pick up the phone and call them and ask what their intentions were with replacing the slate. Then express kindly but firmly that you don’t want them to steal (that’s what they’re doing…) your content in the future and if they want to re-distribute it, they should distribute it intact.

    Also, parse the Creative Commons site and build/use a license that requires others to attribute redistributions/derivatives to you as the source, and choose whether or not to allow commercial uses of your stuff.

  47. I’ma going to have to agree with the “not funny” comments. I could have written a better script, and the random swearing did not improve things.

    I’m still waiting for a parody that features a roundish, professor type person wearing glasses, a pony-tail and sandals as Linux.

  51. Heard about the Apple commercial that was supposed to feature the Mac guy talking to Vista? It didn’t air because Vista never showed up.
