I was there yesterday - well computer History Museum
- Kevin Marks
Keith... I have no idea why but your video feed is being chopped off at my end... not your fault but Ive never seen this happenh before
- Tina Chase Gillmor
My programmer buddies are over 50% Andoird. It's easier to develop for.
- Murray Macdonald
I remember when the OS switch happend in early 2000 for OSX. The years prior EmergingTech show was 90% PC... next year it flipped on it's head.
- Jerry Schuman
And... Yahoo just bought the 4th startup for this week. Astrid, GoPollGo, Milewise, and now Loki Studios.
- Nir Ben Yona
OSI vs. TCP/IP don't bring back bad memories ;-)
- Jerry Schuman
Apple is sleepy while the HTML5 and JS communities are moving at lightspeed. New platforms are popping up everywhere. The launch of the harp.io platform is exciting.
- Murray Macdonald
no new Beatles? Steve is obviously not a Belieber
- Charlie Isaacs
seriously though, Google fails forward extremely well. Even if self-driving car and Glass fail, they (and we) are learning so much from these. And from all of the other projects they shuttered.
- Charlie Isaacs
NeXT brought Steve Jobs back. Apple needed a new OS.
- Murray Macdonald
Jerry is right on, open source aftermarket self driving delivery trike.
- Christian Burns
though the Apple Media Lab people who made Knowledge Navigator were hired in the Jobs era
- Kevin Marks
I had one of those Kyocera Palm flip phones.. amazing phone..
- Kevin Costain
Believe in open standards... Why limit it to two companies?
- Murray Macdonald
Cause he was listening to people Like Steve Gillmor and John Taschek
- Tina Chase Gillmor
Jobs, like Benioff, had/have a rare combination of creative/technical/vision/marketing skills and they knew/know to hire people to make their dreams come true
- Charlie Isaacs
Tim Cook is not a Dreamer or a Futurist!

from iPhone
Products that change us and how we do things becoume part of our lives and we just cant live without them
- Christian Burns
Facebook delivered a revolution in a browser, using open standards, not a corporate platform. Only cross-platform developments can access everyone given the fragmentation.
- Murray Macdonald
what Steve's saying about the iPhone-- I believe that was confirmed in Isaacson's book about Jobs
- Charlie Isaacs
I'll agree with the phone argument from Jerry.
- John Taschek
But notebooks -- going all the way back to the first "ultraportables" (Zenith) are even in more need to be disrupted. They're not mobile the way people think of mobile now.
- John Taschek
I think about Samsung and all the assets they have (appliances, heavy industry, cash). Google - future. Apple - ecosystem, love, belief. Microsoft -- history....
- John Taschek
What happened to Scoble's "Apple"is where all the Apps are developed!?
- Kevin Costain
Office is alive and well. MS made 6B last quarter.
- Murray Macdonald
The always on nature of mobile phones provides the data usage that miners and telcos live on. The "phone" becomes another network node of messaging, socializing,and consuming.
- Aron Michalski
Agree on the Intents Murray -- what a concept, multi-tasking
- Charlie Isaacs
What OS will your emedded systems run? Embedded in your body?
- Christian Burns
Apple will introduce an intents equivalent at WWDC I'll be money on that
- Kevin Marks
The web is the delivery channel for REST. REST is the magic all these platform apps and JS cross platform apps. JS is the language showing the growth.
- Murray Macdonald
the web was always centered on information but market adoption focused on the marketing "brochure" side of things. It's just going back to its origin
- Jerry Schuman
Remember when Scoble and Marks were not on Gillmor gang?
- Christian Burns
Can someone explain to me the meaning behind the Gilmoor Gang comment concerning Adam and Eve. What do Adam and Eve have in common with Steve Jobs? Is the future of computing really going to be all tablets and laptop? No more netbooks or even desktops? In 20 years, is everyone going to be wearing a computer on their physical body?
- Lamar Morgan
@kevin Facebook seems to be trying to figure out how to take all that traffic and turn it into money... unlike ost companies who know how to make money and are trying to get traffic..... what does that say?
- Matthew Voshell
@clive I tried graph search... it "works" but I never use it...
- Matthew Voshell
"Walked outside with Google Glass for the first time. Stepped in dog poop almost immediately. Pretty sure this is what the future is like." Aaron Gotwalt
- Kevin Marks
so looking forward to Glass, my neck hurts having to constantly look down at my phone
- Da
Because kids dont have enough access to video games..
- Christian Burns
@Matthew Google search became terribly boring, link results too predictable or gamed. Graph Search much more interesting. FB engineering paper explains why.
- clive boulton
@Da They might need to figure out how to cool the CPU when Glass is attached to an external battery.
- Alex de Soto
You can't write local apps... My understanding is all 3rd party apps are in the cloud. Is that not true? Can you install a local app?
- Murray Macdonald
you need to hack it to write local apps yes
- Kevin Marks
It occurs to me that the feedback from wearing this device is where the real product is going to come from.
- Tina Chase Gillmor
Vuzix allows real local apps on the device...
- Murray Macdonald
Glass camera should recognize a limited set of gestures but ignore others, like fly swats for example.
- Alex de Soto
The fact it works at all is awesome. Main discussion is, is it ready?
- Keith Teare
And is it the right way to incorporate computing into the person
- Keith Teare
what I mean is that the things people discover in using the early product will create main features and dictate what this product looks and feels like eventually. Might be a "duh" statement but real important here
- Tina Chase Gillmor
so as good as google voice recognition on android
- Christian Burns
Glass is just like every other Google "product". Nothing more then another input to their global information AI. It will go the way of Reader as soon as it's signal to noise ratio is bad.
- Jerry Schuman
virtual keyboard floating in front of you? plenty of times when i don't want to talk out loud
- Da
I almost never want to talk out loud to a gadget
- Kevin Marks
WiFi direct is capable of much more than screens; any p2p communications between apps. If the eyepiece, camera, phone and such are going to collaborate together, you need much more than screen sharing. You need an open p2p API
- Murray Macdonald
i want multiple windows on my Glass. no external, multiple physical screens wanted
- Da
Google not tuning for personal nuances opens up for competition
- clive boulton
Bluetooth is too slow, unless it uses wifi. Wifi direct is all that and more... AirPlay is the new FaceTime. A proprietary flavor of a generic ability.
- Murray Macdonald
I'd rather have a device I can write local computer vision application on... Everything in the cloud is going to make everything latent. The problem is battery life...
- Murray Macdonald
"They" should get out of the way. Writing filters should be open to the 3rd party market. Notifications and "page rank" are proprietary solutions the 3rd party market can't innovate on. Let others write filters....
- Murray Macdonald
What's this Close Friends trick? Is there a blog post about it?
- Evan Prodromou
@Nir yea, Sir Jonny is hard at work, rumors point at a simplier design (ala google) and more continuty across softeware and hardware.... idk, i'm excited i think he's a visionary
- Matthew Voshell
Sorry, failed experiment. It meant more with spaces. Wonder if you can do an in here.
- Amyloo
Still waiting for the call. TMobile's pricing strategy is sort of interesting, but TMobile doesn't even work in my house, so it isn't useful to me.
- Robert Scoble
Glass needs cooling for Robert's streams.
- clive boulton
@Robert I finally got through the reservation line and have been using Tempo this week... I don't think any calendaring app will fulfill all my needs... buts its close... untill google NOW gets released for iOS... But the linkage b/t my mail, linkedin and FB is very helpful...
- Matthew Voshell
Heheh. I'm already working at thinking how I'm gonna extend Glass' battery.
- Robert Scoble
Hil, you'll be proud of me. I bought a tray of frozen monkey bread but I'm only baking two of the 12 rolls. (Hil is my calorie counting buddy on MyFitness Pal).
- Amyloo
someone (who shall remain nameless) decided to switch equipment right before the show ;-( always a problem
- Tina Chase Gillmor
Speaking of which, i'm looking forward to Danny Sullivan's comparison trial of all of the wearable fitness gadgets.
- Amyloo
Very proud of you! but what is monkey bread?
- Hilary Talbot
To add to the discussion list, here's a new kickstarter project that cleared $30k in 8 hours and has extended thier goal to $100k, Looks like a brilliant project and i can't wait to get them.. http://www.kickstarter.com/project...
- Matthew Voshell
Gooey sweet rolls. Great warm, but I woudl eat the whole lot if available.
- Amyloo
Earbuds w/ Magnetic Docking. Made in USA. - nice Kickstarter
- clive boulton
Amyloo: The Basis is best, but it looks dorky. I bought two.
- Robert Scoble
re extending battery life for glass. There will have to be head mophi packs modelled into hats...
- Hilary Talbot
Hmm.. I made hot cross buns yesterday... so good
- Hilary Talbot
Robert, I don't know about you but I'm more influenced than perhaps I should be by the appearance of apps. Dorky will turn me off to things.
- Amyloo
Tina: when troubleshooting these type of problems, always ask to take the plug off.
- Nir Ben Yona
Hilary: I'm thinking of a utililty belt with a cord that runs up my back.
- Robert Scoble
Amyloo: the Basis is a watch. Looks like my dad's Casio calculator watch.
- Robert Scoble
another few minutes guys. thank you for your patience
- Tina Chase Gillmor
Does Sullivan participate in the chat? i dont think so.. I wonder if he can get early access to this wearable tech, i bring it up every week with no love; Did i mention JOHN SCULLY is involved! http://www.indiegogo.com/project...
- Matthew Voshell
Thanks. Personally I'd just kick that guy off the show Tina. Oh, wait, is it Steve? Heheheh.
- Robert Scoble
remember this is a recording session ;-) sh*t happens
- Tina Chase Gillmor
@Robert... YES... i backed in way back in November... but they had to do a complete redesign and release got pushed back to June... But i think it's got the chance to destroy all the other wearble tech out now..
- Matthew Voshell
Amyloo: ScottEVests have cord channels built in. I have several of their vests and they are quite nice.
- Robert Scoble
Matthew: yup. Have you gotten yours yet?
- Robert Scoble
No, like i said.. they pushed the ship date back from March 1 to i think June... They decided the lights on the outside were too small and redesigned them to be bigger...I think they are made in vietnam
- Matthew Voshell
I cannot use Microsoft ones any more, too much Windows shoved in my way (same as Gmail compose)

@kevin... is there anything to the stories that Marissa os often hours late to meetings and makes people work around her? I know Tim Armstrong disagrees about the "work from home" issue too
- Matthew Voshell
Machine learning focus seem to be the new hot with VCs
- clive boulton
Marissa used to have 'office hours' at google which was blocks of unscheduled time that you could drop in on her. This turned into PM's camped outside her office to try and get a few minutes with her for a decision.

I suppose a free/cheap alternative to apps like http://www.omnigroup.com/product... would be really helpful - I'm assuming a Little Outliner outline can be exported in various formats.
- Andrew Hazlett
Or if you like to go the flowchart way to figure out your flows/outlines Lucidchart is also SaaS with Google Drive reference.. https://www.lucidchart.com/
- Matthew Voshell
I used to use omnigroup apps but have switched to Lucidchart since its SaaS and much cheaper.. it does wireframing too
- Matthew Voshell
little outliner works less well on mobile, as there are no tab and arrow keys...
- Kevin Marks
Could this just be a second mode of text entry in notepad? Like switching to showing line numbers.
- Kevin Costain
Responsive Design is a MUST_HAVE anymore right?
- Matthew Voshell
Kevin has dreamy-like birds tweeting away in his yard
- Tina Chase Gillmor
An open standard, cross platform outliner, stores localy, is the dream
- Christian Burns
@cliveb Yea, Mind Meister allows you to invite people and simultanious edit (like drive) and once you're done... you can export it to Drive as PDF or whatever
- Matthew Voshell
I can't get links to work in littleoutiner
- Kevin Marks
Steves global vision is too abstract to be contained in an outline. Beatles songs dont fit into an outline either
- Christian Burns
If the internet fails big time one of these days, we'll all thank little outliner and tools like it. Outlining is also a good alternative to clunky CMS editors for setting up content to be used in adaptive or responsive design.
- Alex de Soto
I still have customers running Windows NT 4.0 :)
- Kevin Costain
@Nir.. i completly understand its importance.. i was looking for agreence haha; I just switched my website from smugmug to squarespace becuase they had much better responsive design and social network tie in http://www.wooliffotog.com
- Matthew Voshell
I like that google maps will turn your map to night mode,
- Christian Burns
Did anyone else notice that if an app redirects you to google maps in the mobile safari there is a button at the top to allow you to auto-open the local google maps app... pretty smart
- Matthew Voshell
Christian if you are talking about DC, I agree, especially around the Pentagon and DCA -- #ConspiracyTheory?
- Charlie Isaacs
I find Google maps transit is best from Mahattan to the other boro's
- clive boulton
My waze doesn't work at all in any tunnel, I don't know what Scoble is talking about :)
- Charlie Isaacs
I'm in DC too... and i think thats not accurate for a specific reason

oh god, VHS tapes too. We need to work out which ones have actual family videos on

- Robert Scoble
Samsung? Did they do something this week? lol, that Radio City show was really cheesy!
- Tom Guarriello
Or we could talk about the death of Google Reader.
- Robert Scoble
Or we could talk about Facebook's new News Feed.
- Robert Scoble
No Google Reader jokes! I'm still in mourning...
- Tom Guarriello
Or we could just sit around and stare at each other. :-)
- Robert Scoble
Tom: I stopped using it in 2009. You gotta come into the future eventually. :-)
- Robert Scoble
Actually, as long as Reeder survives, I'll be fine.
- Tom Guarriello
I tell ya the new Facebook news feed blows away most things for me now. Can't wait for everyone to get it.
- Robert Scoble
You're funny, Robert. I can't do the research I to do with all that noise on Twitter, etc. I've got plenty of filters with lists, etc., but nothing beats reading those feeds in one place. At least not for me.
- Tom Guarriello
Tom: the Flipboard Cover Stories does that for me. That is getting better and better.
- Robert Scoble
But Facebook's new news feed is definitely eating into my reading time. By the way, you try Prismatic? That's rocking too.
- Robert Scoble
Robert: So with such a terrible Samsung launch are you still going to switch? Does anyone care that the launch sucked when it comes to buying the phone?
- Michael Roberts
Finished setting up my just.me profile, Keith.
- Tom Guarriello
So, the breathing is too loud, but the potato chip crunching is hunky-dory?!
- Evan Prodromou
Or you talk about how all these fake viral videos (like the recent pepsi ad) are getting tiresome. How long before people get tired of it and the hit count drops.
- Michael Roberts
Google glass is a great toy right now, but I suspect it will take a gen. 2 before I'd drop a real phone.
- Michael Roberts
Robert: I don't get it, do you have a special eyeglass lenses prescription for the Google Glass?
- Nir Ben Yona
Samsung did that last year with with their WiFi direct photo sharing...
- Murray Macdonald
When you consider that the Nexus 4 requires no contract, the competition gets even stronger.
- Murray Macdonald
I suspect apple will catch up on all the specs, but the problem for apple (at least in Canada) is android phones are cheaper in terms of plans than apple, and as Robert says google glass connecting better with android phones matters.
- Michael Roberts
I think the technology is advancing so fast, features are not as important as carriers, ecosystem, and connectivity to other devices. For now I'll stick with apple, but in a year maybe if google glass matures, and one cannot easily connect to google glass with an iphone, maybe getting android might matter.
- Michael Roberts
the better screen changes all the time, today samsung, tomorrow apple, next week, someone else. It will ebb and flow all the time. I agree with Gillmor.
- Michael Roberts
Apple could make an iPod Touch Maxi. 6 inch screen
- Moe Glitz
from iPhone
I'd never swtich to Android because of Samsung, I'd switch because android's ecosystem becomes so strong with their google apps and glass integration. google apps and glass would be the only reason I'd switch away from an iphone, never for the phone itself which to date has never been as slick as anything apple has created.
- Michael Roberts
Having joined late, I apologise if you've discussed this topic, but what's your take on Samsung trying to move away from Google Android? Yesterday, it felt like Samsung is building dependence on Samsung branded software, so when they are ready with Tizen (or other alternative), they can switch without damage.
- Petr Faitl
Motorola will release one that size soon too
- Kevin Marks
Kevin: And so does the Sony Xperia T.
- Nir Ben Yona
not even google thinks motorola is building competitive phones
- Ludwig Ederle
Murray: I agree, but I think like many who have invested in Apple, it would take something like a google glass to be the tipping point. Clearly that's the case for Robert.
- Michael Roberts
Still waiting for the 7" Samsung Note
- Frank Paynter
Is there a Google product that has changed the game as much as Android in the last decade? In fact, since Google Search?
- Evan Prodromou
Nice that Dan is back in the tech fold but his bandwidth needs help ;-)
- Tina Chase Gillmor
Keath: I agree. I think if google really started to tightly integrate their apps with android, glass etc. the way apple does, I think would be amazing.
- Michael Roberts
The Smartphone Market has peaked. Rubin knows this
- Moe Glitz
from iPhone
Michael: Android already runs on your desktop if you install the emulator.
- Murray Macdonald
you can apparently run android on the chromebook pixel
- Kevin Marks
They're hedging. Why bet the farm on one platform?
- Murray Macdonald
Murray: I guess what I'm saying is why have an emulator at all. If you notice IOS and OSX more and more they look the same to the point where IOS is changing OSX more than the other way around. The same strategy could apply for google.
- Michael Roberts
Heads up display like the US military aviators have used for a couple of decades needs to find its way into the marketplace. So it goes.
- Frank Paynter
Having touch on the Chromebook Pixel is not competing with MS; it's just covering holes, and making sure bases are covered. You don't want someone else sneaking up on you and delivering a nice touch laptop experience and leave you in the cold.

These OS are just front-ends to the cloud. The cloud is stickier than a front-end client. Clients and client OSs will come and go while gmail and other cloud apps will persist.

Compute in the cloud is the only way to do Computer Vision and Machine Learning for the next 5 years.

Right now, Apple is chasing Market Gaps in their Product Range. Bigger Smartphone Screens. Mini Tablets. Budget Overseas Phones. Tim Cook is taking Apple back to the pre Steve Jobs era, too many splintered products

Focusing on Google Reader simply to consume feeds is short-sighted. There are 6,142 recipes on IFTTT.com right now https://ifttt.com/recipes... and many other people use it as plumbing for other functionality.
- Mark Krynsky
anyone publish/curate using scoop.it ??
- Frank Paynter
Activity Streams would be a welcome reboot Kevin.
- Mark Krynsky
Open sourcing or cloning of the Google Reader API that becomes distributed would be nice too.
- Mark Krynsky
Filtering and machine learning can solve that problem. You need to merge RSS, Email, Social Streams, SMS into a single filtered feed.
- Murray Macdonald
the mobile devices have higher res screens than the laptops we were using in 20005
- Kevin Marks
Smaller niche blogs will suffer. My blog still gets much referral traffic from Reader and Feedburner
- Mark Krynsky
Smart filtering needs to be a cloud service, not something managed by each respective feed. We all need to merge our feeds into a single targeted feed.

Flipboard is great to read, but I can't sort through 150+ news articles at a glance in Flipboard. Only Google Reader.

• A provisional filed before the deadline can secure a filing date, but the prior art searches are based on the rules at the time of the non-provisional application. That means that before the deadline, searches are subject to USPTO rules and after the deadline, searches are subject to ROW rules. ROW rules vastly broadens the search for prior art.

Apple need to release something that is much more than a boring TV. It needs to be an iScreen. Come in 4 sizes. Super thin, with Gestures, Siri and AirPlay controls.

The biggest thing is HARDWARE. Google Glass Version 1 is going to be old within two years. What will glass generation 3 look like? The app ecospace will evolve, hardware less so. We get stuck with deployed hardware for years. Look at old android devices in the market. Apple could take glass market share with new sensors like eye tracking.

The form factor gets locked in. Even with an open-source device push notifications lock it down. Until we have 3rd party push notifications on platforms, they will hold their users tight...
- Murray Macdonald
But, where does Apple go? What could they possibly do?
- Kevin Costain
Robert is right. Context knowledge is important, but it can be learned and transferred. Imagine if users intentionally entered or set their context. Then Facebook/google's unique knowledge becomes less important. If users start being willing to establish or publish their context(s) this whole context landscape will change. We should write an open context standard. The big vendors will try to avoid it...
- Murray Macdonald
The problem is that, while magical products can be made - boring products can be iterated well to become magical. I see lts of things like that. The Gillmore Gang has to get peace from chasing that magical new-ness

Email is kinda like the canvas. Its lets people and companies build on top on it. like google does with its spam filters, or labels or just about whatever you can imagine. no one company owns the protocols and they are widely adopted.

Android (through Google TV) already has exposed the Google app marketplace to STB's on our TV's. It's beyond me why Apple hasn't done the same. They're giving Google way too much time to perfect and gain usage there.

Apple is looking at Google as if it was a monkey that could never put together the gun, and all of a sudden Google is shooting with it...

One point about switching to Android away from iphone. I hear the argument about the investment in apps. If one has an iPad then you don't lose the use of your apps.

That's not true... New Androids have GPUs. Everyone does things in hardware. They abandon their old devices, like PowerPC, and iPhone3, etc... The 3GS will get dropped soon.
- Murray Macdonald
Androids do have GPUs, but Apple's AV chain is good work
- Kevin Marks
Apple also has momentum. Steve is right about services and Keith. As well I think Apple will innovate more on software in the coming months. Its just people have come to expect incredible hardware innovation from Apple, but I agree Apple will optimize more on its software working with its hardware, and sometimes that isn't immediately visible to everyone the way a new hardware product like the iphone might be.
- Michael Roberts
It's the fragmentation of Android hardware. They have various GPUs in different devices. You have to write to the various GPUs.
- Murray Macdonald
Apple has one, Android hundreds, "choice" or "fragmentation"
- Ludwig Ederle
My guess is that the inherent way that Apple controls OS (and perhaps direct sensors) access may limit it to compete with the features other mobile devices will be able to utilize for Robert's "contextual" or quantified self and digital health features that will be coming.

Robert: Good point. Apple is a smart company however. I don't expect them to go into a innovation drought for long, but yes, they have a poor record on social IMHO and they should be get aggressive on contextual now. Waze would have been a good move for them I agree.

“It is a core Betaworks conviction that open systems will prove more compelling, more resilient and more valuable to users than closed. Or to say it perhaps a bit more precisely: In a multiplatform world where open and closed systems will always co-exist, the force and power of openness will ensure the existence of a viable ecosystem for application and service builders like betaworks.”

The question is where can developers properly leverage GPUs. Android allows you access to the GPU which apple GPU is pre-baked into things like the browser and OS but is not as accessible to developers.
- Murray Macdonald
...or hybrid with something like phonegap
- Charlie Isaacs
The HTML5 frameworks (like sencha) have made major improvements in HTML 5 performance, making phonegap apps perform better than they ever have before.
- Murray Macdonald
Windows phone allows JavaScript as a native development language. JS developers like Windows Phone.
- Murray Macdonald
That last comment of mine directed to Charlie as a musical response ;-)
- Tina Chase Gillmor
Surely the arguement really comes down to the type of App. If you are building a chat app that needs background services HTML5 is really the wrong way. A simple timetable, perhaps HTML5.
- Simon Tennant
Simon: HTML5 supports Web Workers that allow background services.
- Murray Macdonald
Charlie, yeah I thought maybe I should explain myself as Steve looked perplexed.
- Tina Chase Gillmor
the crossfade and zoom on my nexus 7 on beta.just.me is looking very smooth
- Kevin Marks
Simon: Most HTML5 app developers are using phonegap, giving their apps the same backgrounding capabilities as any app. In a browser you're right, but in an hybrid (phonegap) HTML5 app that's not the case.

The speech recognition on Android is amazing. I used it in a noisy bar last night with 100% on unpredictable text. Robert: stop typing, start dictating. It's faster, easier, and more indicative of future (eg: glasses interface) The Android speech recognition is excellent.

Blackberry won't catch Apple or Android in the U.S. but it might in other countries. What about Blackberry's switch between corp. and personal. Apple and others should do that.

The wow products are all on quirky, indiegogo, and kickstater... they are going to become devices that interact with our technology but make our analog lives much more automated... where are the floating chairs from Wall-E?!?!?

- Matthew Voshell
