Demonstration of Cobalt/Croquet

Demonstration of MultiTouch feature

refrenced in dialogue below

[1:00:34 PM] Merik Voswinkel says: to make use of true mulitouch and augmented reality you can not just stick it on top of Windows, Macintosh or Linux

[1:01:39 PM] Merik Voswinkel says: Your operating system needs to be built for Multi Touch from the start, and the only contender is Squeak and Croquet in the next 5-10 years

[1:02:42 PM] Merik Voswinkel says: this is why we are so Squeak and Croquet minded. All that is lacking is the millions to finish it. That is why we need to make money with Morphle

[1:03:28 PM] Merik Voswinkel says: And it also explains why Silicon Squeak will revolutionize our computers, because it runs Squeak at 1/100 the price

[1:11:12 PM] Merik Voswinkel says: hardware will inevitably become parallel, scaling from 1 core to 1000 or a million cores from now until 2060

[1:11:47 PM] Merik Voswinkel says: Only Squeak/Croquet can scale as well, so make use of those 1000 cores

[1:13:45 PM] Merik Voswinkel says: another word for parallel computers is supercompers

[1:15:07 PM] Merik Voswinkel says: jecel and merik have already built these parallel computers, supercomputers since 1985

[1:16:19 PM] Merik Voswinkel says: We are therefore part of the few people (10-100) worldwide who understand that we need the new operating system that will scale to 1000 or million cores

[1:17:30 PM] Merik Voswinkel says: but we know that one extra detail, only Squeak will be that operating system, no other way (windows, macintosh, linux) can address this global need

[1:18:29 PM] Merik Voswinkel says: So although we are still not seen as mainstream computer specialist, we are the few in the world who know how to build the future operating system

[1:20:03 PM] Merik Voswinkel says: getting funding is hard because the whole world still think that Windows is the mainstream and Squeak is not. Science is the way we (Jecel, Ben and me) can prove we are right.

[1:21:00 PM] Merik Voswinkel says: If we have $15 million we can build that future operating system and 'take over' the computing landscape

[1:22:39 PM] Merik Voswinkel says: at the same time, this new future operating system is the only way we know to bridge the digital divide, because faster 1000 core computers can be build at 1/1000th the cost of current (outdated) computers, making a computer cost less than $10, therefore affordable for the poor

[1:28:49 PM] Merik Voswinkel says: scalable is the keyword, the internet exists because it was the only network that scales. There are only three systems in the entire UNIVERSE that scale: life (bacteria to eukaryoutic cells to multicelluar life to us, intelligent life), internet and "object oriented message passing parallel software" aka Squeak

[1:50:50 PM] Yvette Dubel says: Douglas C. Schmidt (was trying to recall this name previously)

[1:52:22 PM] Yvette Dubel says: is croquet/cobalt an Object-oriented (OO) application frameworks?

[1:52:36 PM] Merik Voswinkel says: Smalltalk

[1:55:56 PM] Merik Voswinkel says: So Smalltalk is THE original Object-oriented programming language (OOP) and operating system. Squeak/Croquet is just the open source version of Smalltalk
