It's a desktop app that lets you explore space. The data is coming from Hubble. But you know, is Scoble getting moist about something from Microsoft really all that strange? ;) I just read over at TechCrunch [techcrunch.com] that it is their new WorldWide Telescope.

But you know, is Scoble getting moist about something from Microsoft really all that strange? ;)

Not sure about AI either because it was said that if written about (without seeing)it would be called lame. I think you can describe AI that is 'life changing' without someone calling it lame. Just have to describe what all it can do. I think it's going to be something unexpected. But I'm only guessing. Personally I say it's just more hype..but I'm a bit of a skeptic.

Scoble said that it's something we haven't seen before, and the Microsoft Surface was even demonstrated at CES. From what I gather he compares it to a lot of software, which leads me to believe that it is a software application. I with bob89 that it is some sort of A.I. program.

It would be able to do almost anything just by you telling it to. It would change our role as computer users to computer supervisors. That's something that I think could change the world like he said. I think it might be a smart A.I. program with voice recognition. It would be able to do almost anything just by you telling it to.
