    I read some text about that futurist works in Google. I think google's success and microsoft's failure depence that. For example after Google anounced Google glass , Microsft anounced holo. Google make an investment for android , after Microsft make an investment for windows phone. Now google works about unmanned vehicles, artificial intelligence(deep mind), ... What do you think about that?

      You really, really, really do some research before you start shooting your mouth off. Microsoft has a very active research lab[^] - it was set up in 1997. Hololens was a project that Alex Kipman (the head of the Hololens division) was working on off and on, for several years. Microsoft had a mobile phone platform (not a very good one mind) long before Android was around. You might want to check when Microsoft patented what looked like Kinect Glasses (it was 2012) - the year before Google invited people to sign up for Google Glass.

          Not to mention that comparing HoloLens to Google Glass (which on hold for now) is a bit idiotic...

              That's what they now call "Advanced Research and Development" ? Big tech companies all have advanced technology R'd'D labs, MS Research Lab, Google Research Lab, GE, Apple, IBM I think most of them started as clones of the famous MIT Media Lab and IBM labs.

              I'd rather be phishing!

                Absolutely, in many ways MS Research is the closest thing we have now to the Xerox Parc and MIT labs of old. Projects like Singularity (a clean slate O/S) and Phoenix (a compilation platform) really did break ground. And, just like Parc, they seem to be failing to capatilize on the potential. HoloLens though looks awesome - potentially one of the most transformative technologies in my lifetime. Makes Google Glass look like just another advertising platform (which naturally it would be if it had taken off).
