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.'

  5. It’s nice to see, but the problem will still remain in which the HTML/CSS/JavaScript implementations among available browsers (IE, Firefox, Opera, Safari, etc) will vary. It’s the bane of every web developer’s existance that “this” works in Firefox and almost in Opera, but barely in Opera and not even close in IE. Or “that” renders correctly in IE and Firefox, pretty close to correct in Opera and is horribly broken in Safari. It’s a shame that browsers don’t have to pass a test, such as Acid2, before they are released. Support for the (almost) latest specs is nice, but it doesn’t solve the larger problem that browser detect/redirect scripts are currently playing the role of Band-Aid for.

  7. I have IE7 Beta3 loaded on a home machine, man if they want people to use FireFox, just try using IE7! This software is almost UNUSABLE. Crashes, takes forever to render pages, what a horrible piece of garbage! No, I am not giving them my feedback, they want it, PAY!

  9. Carolus,

    Are you running IE7 on Windows XP? IE7 on Vista Beta 2 runs fine for me. Firefox, on the other hand, crashes on Vista constantly for me. Firefox is my browser of choice on every operating system except for Vista, at the moment. Which probably explains why Robert posted this 😉

  13. I’ve been testing websites on IE 7 beta 3 with WinXP for awhile and there are still plenty of inconsistencies with how it renders HTML versus Firefox or Safari. It’s funny that in spite of all the improvements, my perception of IE hasn’t changed much because I’m still doing a lot of extra work to accommodate its quirks, albeit probably much less work.
