Nice to see Sarah Meyers talked to Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak tonight about his approach to pranks. One difference between Woz and Giz? Woz wasn’t working as a journalist when he did his pranks.

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.

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.'

This is becoming strange 😕
What is this sudden conflict/rift with Gizmodo?!
It has to be more than just the prank they pulled – it is obviously more far reaching than that
Time to tell all. 😛
What is the REAL story – something is definitely up
What’s going on?! 😮

A one idiot makes other bloggers look bad and the internet is not developed enough to make the distiction that the paper journalists have between the Redtop pap’s and serious Journalists.
And its posibly going to stop Bloggers geting press cedentials – though if I was seiously bloging in the uk id look at joining the NUJ to solve that problem.
And Woz never got busted for Phreaking Bboxing back in the day – which is the golden rule 🙂

The key diff is that pulling a prank on someone is usually a crafted event – a planned/timed one-off that catches everyone off guard. Most of the best pranks are one part humor, one part genius in their planning.
What Giz did were cheap gotchas – not much in the way of planning. Still, I found it amusing and don’t think they should be keel-hauled to the extent they have.

So Woz is the personal arbitor of what federal airlines laws to follow and which to ignore? By using that laser on a flight, he’s playing with people’s lives. Does he crave the kudos of the young so desperately he’s willing to endanger his fellow passengers? Apparently.
So the law applies to eveyone by Woz? This stupid prank could lead to a marshall taking him out by accident. Who’s fault would that be?
As a voice who is admired by many, he needs to follow a higher standard and stop showing bad example to others, especially those younger than him.
I hope the Feds make an example of him by arresting and prosecuting him. His right to dangerous pranks ends in the air when the safety of the the crew and passengers relies on pilots, air crews, and air marshall’s being able to do their jobs.
The reason Woz is not to use a laser on a flight is because a gunmen with a laser gun will use it to target and kill passengers. How is a flight marshall who is on a plane protecting his life and everyone else’s to distinguish between his prank and a real gunman?
Maybe Woz needs to talk to a few airline pilots or air marshall’s who are responsible for all passenger and crew safety, not one selfish tool like Woz, to see how they view it.
Civil disobedience has a long history in this country. This is not civil disobedience. It is an old man trying desperately to be hip, but time, and common sense, have passed him by.

So a guy that freaks out airline passengers with KNIVES, on some weird Dexterish sociopath self-justification, is allllll ok, but some guy turning off TVs at a trade show is worth eternal damnation? Well, hey, it’s all right, seee he wasn’t a journalist, packing those lasers and knives. Had he been a JOURNALIST, gasp, why, gosh, burn at stake.
Geesh H. Rice Krispes. You really pick bad examples to make your feeble cases.
