Intel made wise decision when they hired Luke Wroblewski to do this video series about new interactions and how to use them in your apps.

As Jason Fried put it: “Grid looks like very original thinking”.
You know I’m big fan of Clayton Christensen’s disruption idea, this video is about much more personal strategy.
Horace Dediu reports:
My thanks to Adam Lashinsky of Fortune for inviting me to Fortune Brainstorm Tech in Aspen this week. I was asked to participate in a panel session with Gene Munster of Piper Jaffray to discuss “The Future of Apple”. The session was moderated by Adam.

I’m convinced that we are living our analogy to the Industrial revolution. Call it Information revolution or whatever, but we see the profound changes happening and I think we have seen nothing yet.
Therefore I try to learn about Industrial revolution and seek some sort of hint of what we could expect.
I found this six-part documentary The Day the World Took Off
This 6-series documentary films address the puzzle of the origins of Industrial Revolution. The central question: why did a scraggy little rainswept island off the coast of mainland Europe become the first major industrial centre, when so many other parts of the world, such as China, with its great history of inventions – looked more promising? The story starts on a single momentous day in Liverpool, a day that shows the best and worst aspects of the Industrial Revolution. We then look back 100 years, then 250, then 500, then 1000, until 10000 years – to the third millennium of the modern era.

I admire Gates’ approach to phillatrophy, I disagree with his (and Microsoft’s) view, that Surface will be the best of both the desktop PC and tablet – as Microsoft’s repeated many times “no compromises”. You only need to look at the photo of Surface and you already see compromises. Does that look like a comfortable keyboard and trackpad? Does that kickstand work for other use cases than on proping it on the table?
Anyway, 80 % of the interview is focused on the phillantrophy and Gates’ view of other topics, like education, innovation, politics and others.
Go watch the interview on Charlie Rose site. It’s worth it.
This so cool: Valve helps you create animated movies.

My translation of this video: “Look, we are no longer able to even recognize that we are lying to you and we are bragging about it as openess.”

I found it interesting that the video is so, shall I say, technology-oriented? The magnesium body is presented as the main feature as we are wathing the dust turn to liquid metal blobs jumping and orbiting one another while the aggressive electro music is playing.
For Microsoft’s sake, I hope this is just the result of them not having been able to show what you can actually do with this thing right now, as the OS is some 5 4 months from releasing.

Clever man Horace Dediu and his presentation on Mobilism 2012. You are listening to his podcast Critical Path, aren’t you?
Daring Fireball linked this video accompanying a review of Windows 8 by Michael Mace.
I agree with John and Michael in that the Windows 8 are bigger change than the techies think and therefore it is quite a bet on Microsoft’s part. But as Michael points out:
I think Microsoft feels it must find a way to leverage its waning strength in PCs to make itself relevant in mobile.
Steve Jobs’s longtime friends Oracle CEO Larry Ellison and Ed Catmull, president and co-founder of Pixar Animation Studios and president of Disney Animation, remember the late Apple CEO.
This video by Microsoft nicely demonstrates the problem and sets the bar to jump – 1 ms.

They haven’t released the whole interview yet but there are more short videos on D10 page. Once they put out the whole interview I will replace this highlights one with it. Meanwhile, you may be interested in the transcription of the whole thing.
