Neowin comes through, as usual: Windows Vista RC1 Available to the Masses. Off to download. I miss the good old days when you had to download Windows 95 betas via a 28.8 kbps modem. Ahh, the youth today. So spoiled. 🙂

I give you a front-row seat on the future. Focusing most of my efforts now on next-generation augmented reality and artificial intelligence, AKA "mixed reality." SUBSCRIBE TO MY NEWSLETTER: http://clevermoe.com/scobleizer-news/ BUY OUR NEW BOOK: https://www.amazon.com/Fourth-Transformation-Robert-Scoble/dp/1539894444 "The Fourth Transformation: How augmented reality and artificial intelligence will change everything." WATCH MY LATEST SPEECHES: State of VR with Philip Rosedale (done in VR itself, very cool): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zAA1EVGUZU At GEOINT, June 2017: http://trajectorymagazine.com/glimpse-new-world/ Augmented World Expo, June 2017: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l4xHILvLD8E At Leade.rs, April 2017: https://youtu.be/52_0JshgjXI +++++++++++ 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. 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.'

Hah kids today – iused to think 300 baud was fast – i actly toyed with the idea of geting our electroncs shop to build our own modems (using the design publised in BYTE)
I alos found this 😉
Man 1: Who’d ‘ave thought, 10 year ago, we’d all be sitting ‘ere surfing t’internet wi’ multimedia Pentiums eh?
Man 2: Aye, in them days, we were glad to have a twin floppy IBM PC.
Man 3: 5 1/4 inch floppies…….
Man 4: Wi’owt Windows or CD Roms……..
Man 3: …..or processor.
Man 2: O’course, we were poor. We couldn’t afford an IBM PC….we used to ‘ave to use a Z80 machine running CPM.
Man 3: Luxury! All we ‘ad was a 10 digit, 10 foot wide thermal print-out mains powered calculator.
Man 4: Mains powered? You were lucky. We used to have to use a battery powered 8 digit Sinclair calculator – and it were wi’out an equals key.
Man 3: Well….when I say mains powered, one ‘us ‘ad t’pedal generator for 3 days t’get enough power for one simple addition of two single digit
numbers – provided the sum was less than 10 – but it were a calculator to us.
Man 2: Our machine developed a fault in it’s 4k memory – we ‘ad t’ throw it out and use a manually cranked Odhner calculator….
Man 1: Oh, we used to dream of ‘avin’ an Odhner – it woulda been a super-computer to us. All we ever ‘ad were an abacus, an’ even that didn’t ‘ave any beads. We used to ‘ave t’memorise the numbers, do the sums in
our ‘eds, then we used to ‘ave to carve the right number of beads out of solid granite.
Man 3: Mind you y’know, we ‘ad it tough. Our house (well -hole in the ground covered wi’ a sheet – but it were an ‘ouse to us) were too small and damp to ‘ave a computer. We used to have t’ use the local University’s Univac mainframe. The huge 8k core memory were housed one of hundreds of cabinets in a room the size of a football stadium. It took a week to walk from the console to
the card reader. There were 20 of us manually punching’ cards 25 hours a night for 8 days a week for 5 years, and that were just to get it to boot.
Man 1: And you try to tell the young people of today that….. and they won’t believe you.

Scoble, I don’t know if you still have any leverage with the Windows folks, but as I was typing into a text box on a website, a bright red UAC dialog box stole focus as I clicked space. I’ve no idea what I clicked yes or no to, and this is a security dialog box! If you do have leverage, tell the UAC UI designer to never, ever have his box steal focus. Good grief.

I have a question to ask all of you, My friend at work says he has Vista 002 and he told me that it’s not the Beta version either, He said he has some serious contacts in the geek underworld, he also said that he can automatically downloads drivers for his hardware and updates to fix the bugs on Vista, this is what he said in his e-mail that he sent me and I quote ” This is no beta, i just updated it and il crack the registartion tomorow w the code my guy sent me.
if you dont beleive me that my copy is the real deal, check out this screenshot called
“i have vista 002”
So you guys is Vista 002 is the Final version of Vista or it just a beta version of Vista. do you think I should wait and get a legit copy of Vista and wait until January 30, 2007 and get my Microsoft Vista Ultimate.
