About the Talk
At the first BIL in 2008, I gave a talk on millicomputing. The iPhone was a new thing, there was no app store, no Android, and I was building my own homebrew phone (nowadays I write iPhone apps). I made predictions about what would happen in 2009 and 2010 which largely came true, so now it’s time to update the predictions for 2011 and 2012. As I predicted in 2008, iPhone and Android are dominating, and it’s all about the applications, augmented reality is just starting out and I’m still predicting that “assisted telepathy” will provide an immersive life sharing experience fairly soon.
About the Speaker
Work: computer systems guru at Sun for a long time, helped found eBay research labs, last few years at Netflix managing development of personalized movie choosing algorithms etc.
Home: I’m originally English, married to an American, live on top of the Los Gatos Mountains, spend a lot of time messing about with cars. Probably driving my 1973 Citroen SM down to Long Beach for BIL, and staying on the Queen Mary.
At the first BIL I volunteered as the sound guy with cobbled-together equipment, recorded almost all the talks in the main hall, and published a few of them at BILcast

I remember Adrian’s home-made phone at the first BIL! And I was super impressed with his DIY recording. (I also posted this on the SideWiki)
Unfortunately I won’t be there on Friday..
