1
00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:08,599
you know the funny thing about the W show today is that we were supposed to

2
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:12,360
start on time in fact I've been in here

3
00:00:08,599 --> 00:00:16,039
for over an hour doing my test call with

4
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:17,359
our special guest today doing my uh what

5
00:00:16,039 --> 00:00:24,199
I don't know whatever else it is that I do to prepare for the show but um you

6
00:00:21,199 --> 00:00:27,320
know it's funny because it feels like

7
00:00:24,199 --> 00:00:30,439
sometimes the more ahead of schedule you

8
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:33,920
are the more time you'll waste thinking

9
00:00:30,439 --> 00:00:36,879
ah it's okay I got lots of time no big

10
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:42,680
deal everything's fine and then it's 4:30 and you're like oh yeah I forgot to

11
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:45,640
record the the intro where I intro the

12
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:50,079
topics of the show today and I forgot to oh you know actually check and make sure

13
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:56,079
that your special guest Paul from Paul's Hardware formerly New Egg TV is actually

14
00:00:53,480 --> 00:01:01,960
using the microphone that he's actually going to use for the uh the the guest

15
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:04,640
segment because right now we just have a

16
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:11,799
super D duper silent guest over there who has two microphones one on his desk

17
00:01:08,479 --> 00:01:14,720
and one on his face and then actually

18
00:01:11,799 --> 00:01:18,759
another one on his table he has many microphones none of which appear to

19
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:23,560
actually do anything for the moment so we're going to go through the super D

20
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:30,079
duper special call out topics today first up is Apple's event the uh the

21
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:32,439
so-called October 2014 event that

22
00:01:30,079 --> 00:01:36,960
happened yesterday and included all the most amazing unbelievable magical

23
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:40,920
revolutionary technologies that you can possibly imagine so basically smaller

24
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:46,960
thinner better battery life more powerful but basically the same stuff um

25
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:52,920
then also Google announces the nexuses 6 and nine which are I'll let you guess

26
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:58,840
which one's a phone and which one's a tablet we don't know because nexuses are

27
00:01:55,320 --> 00:02:01,920
just they're like this

28
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:03,960
weird I whatever I lost the word the

29
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:08,800
point is we've get we're getting a phone and a tablet and they're going to be

30
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:13,400
good and um one thing that's kind of missing particularly on the phone side

31
00:02:10,759 --> 00:02:16,879
is usually with an Nexus device it's all about the sort of the cheap bang for the

32
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:23,879
buckess and that doesn't seem to be happening this time also in the news

33
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:26,239
this week Ubisoft just keeps on digging

34
00:02:23,879 --> 00:02:30,560
don't they a redditor actually member of the PC Master R subreddit um had a

35
00:02:29,239 --> 00:02:38,400
present at his school and uh wow yeah a couple

36
00:02:35,599 --> 00:02:42,480
of Ubisoft representatives there said some stuff that is going to light the

37
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:47,319
internet on fire yet again it's like Ubisoft wants to burn down the whole

38
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:51,879
internet and that's the objective here um finally Netflix raises prices on 4K

39
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:55,560
streams that was a bit of a copout topic I didn't try that hard to find another

40
00:02:53,879 --> 00:03:00,599
one that was amazing because we are going to have a lot to talk about this

41
00:02:57,599 --> 00:03:02,599
week regardless at least I'll talk and

42
00:03:00,599 --> 00:03:06,720
Paul will listen because I don't think he can talk yet Paul you got that

43
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,720
working over

44
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:10,959
there let's just roll the

45
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:32,519
intro

46
00:03:32,519 --> 00:03:42,720
a yeah we got sponsors today guys we got Squarespace squarespace.com Linus 10%

47
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:42,720
off with the offer code

48
00:03:43,439 --> 00:03:49,400
lonus also we got 54 Club back

49
00:03:46,879 --> 00:03:55,000
sponsoring this week's episode with a special offer one that actually looks

50
00:03:52,439 --> 00:03:58,760
pretty darn compelling last time around they were slipping cash into people's

51
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:02,920
packages the kind of thing that's normally only accept able at certain

52
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:07,760
establishments this time around they've got a whole other thing going on and

53
00:04:05,239 --> 00:04:14,680
I'll give you the details about that later on in the show so hopefully Paul

54
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:17,199
is back with us Paul you good I muted

55
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:20,479
nothing oh that's right I did mute you didn't I oh there's our problem all

56
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:24,919
right well let's open up the volume mixer and see if Paul is uh functioning

57
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:30,639
over there does it can you hear me now I can

58
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:35,639
hear you now wow it's amazing how changing the volume mixer works over

59
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:39,639
there so um twitch chat please feel free let me know if Paul is an appropriate

60
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:43,600
volume because he's going to be with us pretty much for the rest of the show I

61
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:49,240
feel like I kind of owe him one after we kicked him off of the guest segment a

62
00:04:46,919 --> 00:04:53,600
few weeks back after pretty unceremoniously after like what six

63
00:04:51,479 --> 00:04:56,680
minutes or something like that well I think I can understand from a viewer's

64
00:04:55,160 --> 00:05:00,560
perspective if it's affecting the quality of the stream you got to you got

65
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:07,000
to you know sometimes you got to make some sacrifices yeah and I'm definitely going

66
00:05:04,039 --> 00:05:12,720
to sacrifice you before me so there's that but uh no no you can see this week

67
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:17,600
no problems so now we're going to have Windows Task Manager replacing Paul

68
00:05:15,759 --> 00:05:22,560
instead of instead of having Paul we'll just have the task manager showing off

69
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:26,360
how our CPU usage is now in the 35 to

70
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:29,360
60% range where last time we had Paul on

71
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:32,520
his presence was so powerful that he

72
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:34,720
over overloaded my system actually I've

73
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:38,919
upgraded it now so well K Kyle was here too he might have affected that well

74
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:41,880
we'll see what kind of effect Kyle has because he's going to be joining us in a

75
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:45,680
little bit correct that is true yes uh he should be appearing at my door at any

76
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:50,479
moment so I'll have to jump up and and get him really quick um he said he was

77
00:05:47,759 --> 00:05:54,600
on his way maybe 10 minutes so fantastic all right well why don't we jump right

78
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:57,199
into our first topic here today then oh you know what I just realized I'm not

79
00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:01,639
sure if they're going to be able to hear you when I switch to screen sharing on

80
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:05,039
my computer here but uh we'll do we'll do our best with it so this was

81
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:11,800
originally posted on the Forum by Lord Kitty and the source is a uh a Reddit

82
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:13,280
post in the PC Master Ray subreddit here

83
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:21,639
so I'm just going to go ahead I'm going to add the uh the formerly of New Egg TV

84
00:06:18,199 --> 00:06:22,720
crew to uh when we discuss these things

85
00:06:21,639 --> 00:06:28,520
there you go I'll just check you guys up in the corner there and basically there

86
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:30,199
was a presentation at a member of the PC

87
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:34,800
Master race subreddit school where some Ubisoft folks came in

88
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:39,000
in this case it was a game architect an online programmer and an HR

89
00:06:36,840 --> 00:06:45,160
representative and they gave this presentation and then there was some

90
00:06:40,479 --> 00:06:48,000
time for open Q&A and

91
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:53,400
so this uh this redditor started to Source questions from the subreddit and

92
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:58,759
started to ask some well you know some of those questions that we've all got

93
00:06:55,080 --> 00:07:00,919
like what's happening to 60fps and why

94
00:06:58,759 --> 00:07:05,639
exactly is this happening so when he asked about the industry moving away

95
00:07:03,199 --> 00:07:12,280
from 60 frames per second the game architect blamed settling for 30 FPS on

96
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:15,319
limitations which is uh not in line with

97
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:17,280
that whole cinematic line that we've

98
00:07:15,319 --> 00:07:23,560
been getting from you know PR Representatives is it Paul not not quite

99
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:25,319
exactly but I I think the main my first

100
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:30,840
takea away from this story is is it's fantastic that Reddit has like fingers

101
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:32,560
or tendrils spread out so you know so

102
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:35,120
much that anywhere there happens to be a discussion like this going on there's

103
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:41,039
going to be somebody there like immediately posting it to Reddit that's just that's just good to know because I

104
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:45,479
I think Reddit is a is a Force for good for the most

105
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:49,800
part for the most depends which which subreddits you they're a force I would

106
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:54,960
call them chaotic neutral but maybe leaning towards good definitely chaotic

107
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:59,039
well we're getting off topic here but that depends on your view of mankind

108
00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:03,879
entirely doesn't it okay we we'll come back to that but the main the main point

109
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:08,319
here I think is is that there should never be a limitation on software simply

110
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:14,240
as a result of one company feeling that they can either make more money for it

111
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:17,039
from it or or reduce a competing

112
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:21,720
platform's ability to perform by comparison and and there's absolutely no

113
00:08:18,879 --> 00:08:25,000
reason for it people people do PC gaming because they know they can build a

114
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:28,520
system and they can get performance that's in line with what you know the

115
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:35,760
type of system that they build and the amount of money they invest and a company artificially making a limitation

116
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:37,760
just so people can't argue that oh well

117
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:43,800
on PC at least I can get 60 frames per second or 120 frames per second um it's

118
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:48,000
just not right like fundamentally brings us to sort of the next thing the game

119
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:52,959
architect said and that was that um sort of there it was implied and this is the

120
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:56,480
other problem with Reddit sometimes is a redditor and and you know I love the

121
00:08:54,880 --> 00:09:01,640
anonymity of the internet as much as anyone so I have a LoveHate relationship

122
00:08:58,680 --> 00:09:05,000
with it i r can be anyone and so when they say that the guy at the

123
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:09,240
presentation implied something well that's the interpretation of that

124
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:13,200
particular person unless there were you know 50 people in the audience that all

125
00:09:11,560 --> 00:09:18,200
100% agree that that's exactly what happened but anyway this post says that

126
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:25,480
they implied that they're being pressured by the console makers to limit

127
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:28,360
games to 30fps and it was

128
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:31,399
also when asked about Watchdogs the programmer mentioned that just before

129
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:35,120
they release a game they have to send a copy to the console manufacturers who

130
00:09:33,399 --> 00:09:41,560
have the final say on what to keep and what to throw away before the game is

131
00:09:38,839 --> 00:09:45,640
made why should console manufacturers have any say in what does or does not go

132
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:49,839
into the PC version of a game like that's that's that's the problem right there

133
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:54,920
that like they shouldn't have to Greenlight what people can do on a like

134
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:58,600
does does Sony have to go and and approve what can go in the Microsoft

135
00:09:56,600 --> 00:10:02,200
version of the game or vice versa I I don't think so now that would be a good

136
00:10:02,519 --> 00:10:10,680
one be an interesting conversation to like be a fly on thewall for

137
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:12,760
probably so basically basically that's

138
00:10:10,680 --> 00:10:15,880
it and then the redditor also posted that at the end of this whole

139
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:20,399
conversation about the you know the negative response to locking Assassin's

140
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:25,320
Creed Unity to 30fps um you know he commented on the console

141
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:31,680
limitations the choice between graphical Fidelity and smoothness um and also said

142
00:10:29,399 --> 00:10:36,680
eyes can't see past 24 FPS anyway and then apparently gave a wink so I I I

143
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:41,920
don't know what's going on at Ubisoft but it really feels like they have a

144
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:46,240
civil war over there right now between the people internally who feel like they

145
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:50,839
should be building the best thing that they can and the people internally

146
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:55,600
probably more along the Bean Counter lines um who feel they should do

147
00:10:53,200 --> 00:11:00,240
whatever is going to make them the best most amount of money whether that is

148
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:04,880
through a partnership with a cons maker or whether that is through selling more

149
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:09,440
copies of the console version and making sure that the console buyer is appeased

150
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:12,760
because that's an angle that I think a lot of people aren't considering

151
00:11:10,839 --> 00:11:17,760
everyone kind of goes oh well they're in bed with Sony and they're in bed with

152
00:11:14,399 --> 00:11:19,880
Microsoft to limit the PC version and we

153
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:24,480
saw that with Watchdogs Ubisoft can deny it all we want all they want but pretty

154
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:30,800
much we know that's what happened but something that they're probably not

155
00:11:25,959 --> 00:11:34,000
considering is that console maker aside

156
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:36,519
the console gamer is not going to want

157
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:40,000
to see like when there's when there are subtle differences and image quality you

158
00:11:38,680 --> 00:11:45,480
know how the console PC you know flame War comment

159
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:49,600
thing that happens anytime any of this crap comes up the console gamers are

160
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:54,160
going to try to say oh well it doesn't look that different what if it did look

161
00:11:51,959 --> 00:11:58,360
that different how would they feel about their purchase how would they feel about

162
00:11:56,320 --> 00:12:02,399
buying more games for that console because not every console player is

163
00:11:59,839 --> 00:12:06,920
going to instantly turn into a PC Gamer if they feel disenfranchised about

164
00:12:04,680 --> 00:12:10,880
console gaming well it definitely makes the PC gaming argument a lot more

165
00:12:08,839 --> 00:12:14,720
compelling if that's the case but I mean the other thing about this this most

166
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:20,160
recent generation of consoles that came out is they are not nearly as

167
00:12:18,199 --> 00:12:26,199
overpowered compared to like PlayStation 2 and Xbox 360 when they came out so

168
00:12:22,959 --> 00:12:28,639
that also to me says that whereas

169
00:12:26,199 --> 00:12:33,279
earlier versions of the consoles they took a pretty big loss on selling the

170
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:36,480
hardware every time it is probably less of that because the hardware they're

171
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:42,360
using in there is really not as expensive so that also provides a more

172
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:46,480
compelling reason to deter people from going into PC gaming and buying the

173
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:49,760
consoles is because they're not I I I mean I can't say this for sure but I

174
00:12:48,399 --> 00:12:53,720
would assume that they're not necessarily taking as much of a loss on

175
00:12:51,399 --> 00:12:58,160
the console Hardware as as they used to no no definitely not um I've got another

176
00:12:56,600 --> 00:13:00,920
interesting point here that's kind of hidden in the notes on this topic but I

177
00:12:59,920 --> 00:13:06,079
thought it was I thought it was an interesting point of discussion so

178
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:11,600
Assassin's Creed Unity is going to have 8 hours of DLC before the game is even

179
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:15,839
close to release bringing the total cost if you want to go for like a season's

180
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:22,120
pass pre-order to $90 if you want to count all the content

181
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:23,639
created before release as release

182
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:28,279
content even though you actually have to pay extra for some of it and I think we

183
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:35,680
should we should probably do a Twitter Blitz on this but do you think given

184
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:37,920
that a game was going to cost you

185
00:13:35,680 --> 00:13:41,920
$59.99 actually you know what we should go back and find some find some old

186
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:48,240
games what was the release price of Starcraft 1 like Paul do you remember

187
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:50,399
Starcraft 1 I believe was probably 40

188
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:57,440
that that's that's when I think the the most you could charge for a PC game even

189
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:59,759
a AAA title was 40 bucks I it might have

190
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:04,480
been as low as but I'm I'm going to go with

191
00:14:01,279 --> 00:14:07,519
40 cuz I seem to remember buying games

192
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:10,839
like cartridge games back on sness like

193
00:14:07,519 --> 00:14:12,399
pretty old games for 50 and sometimes

194
00:14:10,839 --> 00:14:17,759
sometimes even more like what did what did Final Fantasy 6 cost at lunch six I

195
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:24,440
didn't play but seven was 50 bucks definitely okay so if in 1994 so we're

196
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:28,720
talking 20 years ago I think was around the time Final Fantasy 6 came out if

197
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:33,360
we're talking 20 years ago something was 50 bucks should it be $60 today I mean

198
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:38,680
let's find an inflation calculator guys I want you to start blitzing at me with

199
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:41,839
this is $90 completely

200
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:44,240
unreasonable if you can get a slightly

201
00:14:41,839 --> 00:14:49,480
reduced experience for 60 when we factor in inflation you think the increased

202
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:54,720
price might be reasonable due to the better game Fidelity increased mechanics

203
00:14:52,519 --> 00:14:59,000
uh maybe not better game Fidelity CU I think that is that opens up a whole can

204
00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:05,240
of worms but I would say the increas inreased cost of making a game and the

205
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:10,360
increase in okay and general inflation you might need to go get that here one

206
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:14,519
second all right so I'm going to use I'm going to use a uh an inflation

207
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:19,759
calculator here I'm going to go 1994 something that cost 50 bucks and

208
00:15:18,199 --> 00:15:24,639
we're going to calculate it so apparently according to at least the

209
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:27,959
Bank of Canada inflation calculator here something that was 50 bucks in 1994

210
00:15:26,639 --> 00:15:33,480
should be 7322 and then when we factor in how much

211
00:15:30,319 --> 00:15:35,399
more a game costs to make these days is

212
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:39,440
it unreasonable for them to ask for 90 bucks for it all right let's start going

213
00:15:37,639 --> 00:15:41,959
to the Twitter boards here because I'm very interested to hear what you guys

214
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:46,959
have to say what a warm

215
00:15:44,199 --> 00:15:50,920
welcome hey everyone uh you're you're actually not you're not live right now

216
00:15:49,199 --> 00:15:55,519
Kyle but he has no headset on so he doesn't he doesn't know these things all

217
00:15:53,079 --> 00:16:01,319
right I'm trying to reload here all right Alan hon says that's the last draw

218
00:15:58,399 --> 00:16:07,720
I'm boycot upis soft uh PC games should never be locked at 30 FPS and $90 is

219
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:10,759
ridiculous Owens says I paid $89.99 for

220
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:12,560
Warcraft 3 in 2000 and some SN games

221
00:16:10,759 --> 00:16:17,360
were $79.99 all right special edition

222
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:22,600
versions Frank says yeah I didn't think Warcraft 3 was that expensive I think I

223
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:24,360
paid 60 for it but then I got like a

224
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:28,759
battle chest that had like all the versions together that that they

225
00:16:26,279 --> 00:16:34,279
released like yeah but then if you if you you treat an expansion pack like um

226
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:40,120
like DLC which it basically is I mean that's pretty much exactly the same

227
00:16:36,079 --> 00:16:41,759
concept then maybe $90 for a game and a

228
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:47,680
couple expansion packs is equivalent to $90 plus a couple of DLCs no maybe but

229
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:52,040
in the past I think they would have gone the route with the game they release at

230
00:16:50,079 --> 00:16:56,279
launch is pretty much what they've worked on up till then and then they

231
00:16:54,000 --> 00:17:00,000
work on like more stuff so if the stuff's already available then maybe it

232
00:16:58,519 --> 00:17:05,360
should just been integrated into the game from the get-go rather than trying

233
00:17:02,519 --> 00:17:09,679
to immediately have like a an upsell for people so if they kept it secret for you

234
00:17:08,199 --> 00:17:14,439
then you would feel better about it like if they if they kind of like kept it on

235
00:17:11,959 --> 00:17:17,880
a you know a thumb drive somewhere so that no one knew about it and then

236
00:17:16,199 --> 00:17:21,439
brought it out two weeks after the game comes out then it's okay I mean I don't

237
00:17:19,799 --> 00:17:26,000
really see the difference personally uh from I mean you run a

238
00:17:24,319 --> 00:17:29,720
business do you tell everything about your business publicly I mean there

239
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:34,160
there even though it is sort of an ignorance as Bliss kind of thing there

240
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:38,960
is something to be said if they hadn't talked about this and maybe had given it

241
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:42,000
even two weeks or a month then maybe they could have done it but the reason

242
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:46,200
they're probably talking about it now is because they want to have this stuff in

243
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:49,640
time for the holiday season Q4 all that good stuff so that's basically it

244
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:55,480
they're just capitalizing on the hype train because let's face it more people

245
00:17:52,360 --> 00:17:58,240
are going to buy Deluxe editions and

246
00:17:55,480 --> 00:18:03,240
extra DLC when the game is all over every intern internet Banner everywhere

247
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:09,200
and in everyone's face versus if they wait 3 to 4 weeks and try to get that

248
00:18:05,559 --> 00:18:10,640
$30 upsell at that point so yeah I guess

249
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:15,440
I see why they're doing it but I can also see why it's kind of it's kind of

250
00:18:13,120 --> 00:18:20,480
it's kind of lame I mean Hardware makers we see this kind of thing all the

251
00:18:17,799 --> 00:18:26,640
time it's not like NVIDIA is not already working on GTX 1080 and 1180 they're

252
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:29,799
already working on them but they're not going to tell us about all that crap now

253
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:34,679
because they still want to sell us some 980s and they still want us to feel somewhat okay about buying 980s when

254
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:39,760
there's something that much better coming down the pipe so so you think

255
00:18:37,159 --> 00:18:45,840
they could just be decent it would be more decent of them to just not tell us

256
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:47,640
then I think I I think people wouldn't

257
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:54,280
be having this argument over whether or not it's it's a thing to be done for a

258
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:57,480
large video game maker I

259
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:59,919
mean Assassin's Creed is is is huge so

260
00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:04,320
obviously it's extremely profitable it just I think I think the point at which

261
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:08,320
people start to get upset is the point at which they feel that the decision is

262
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:13,240
being made much much more for the monetary reasons than it is for giving

263
00:19:10,799 --> 00:19:17,280
Gamers like the best time they could have or the most amount of content that

264
00:19:14,799 --> 00:19:20,200
they could give them right all right let's go through some uh let's go

265
00:19:18,559 --> 00:19:25,600
through some tweets here and welcome to the show Kyle thank you hello sorry I'm

266
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:30,880
late all right we're getting some pretty good tweets from people here action 52

267
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:33,320
for the nest was $199.99 in

268
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:36,799
1991 iron hawk says it's all about the money they're announcing the DLC for

269
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:41,880
hyping the game even more you know what that's a very good point because

270
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:45,320
something that works really well for

271
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:47,520
selling more of something is just this

272
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:51,799
just talking about it even us talking about this DLC right now is creating

273
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:56,320
more exposure for Assassin's Creed Unity For Better or For Worse that's why we

274
00:19:54,000 --> 00:20:02,159
get that AC money right that's right that's why I get so much money from

275
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:04,840
Ubisoft for my uh like my digging

276
00:20:02,159 --> 00:20:09,320
references they love me uh Brad's culio I find it funny that

277
00:20:07,559 --> 00:20:13,320
AAA titles are so expensive whereas Indie Games actual good games are so

278
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:17,760
cheap okay Brad's Coolio I'm going to have to disagree with you you can't

279
00:20:15,039 --> 00:20:22,559
generalize that way there are AAA titles that aren't that expensive I tomb Tomb

280
00:20:20,039 --> 00:20:26,760
Raider 2013 was on midweek Madness for what was it like $10 or something this

281
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:30,919
week it's a great game yes it's a little bit older but that's how life works if

282
00:20:28,799 --> 00:20:35,080
you want the you know if you want to watch the latest movie then you go to it

283
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:40,880
in the theater if you want to watch the oldest movie then you like find it in a

284
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:43,000
value bin that's that's how it works and

285
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:46,840
in saying indie games are actual good games yes there are good indie games but

286
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:52,000
I think to say that every indie game is good is is ridiculous or to generalize

287
00:20:49,919 --> 00:20:57,280
that of terrible indie games too there's a lot of just horrible indie games and

288
00:20:55,120 --> 00:21:01,679
if we count the indie games that get funded on services like like Kickstarter

289
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:08,600
and don't get made then there's some really abysmal Indie Games those are

290
00:21:04,799 --> 00:21:10,200
those are like actionable Indie Games in

291
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:14,880
my opinion apparently Tomb Raider was $3.99 so there you go you can get Tomb

292
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:19,760
Raider 2013 for $4 you should prob go buy is that the one that came with the

293
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:22,440
life-size lar Craft Doll no kind of

294
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:27,520
creepy which one did you buy well for 400 bucks you they better throw

295
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:30,600
something no $4 oh

296
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:32,400
$4 would you want a life-size Laura C

297
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:37,440
okay tell me something we should do okay we should probably do a straw pole here

298
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:41,480
um would you buy a life siiz Laura coft doll no no it's not would you buy

299
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:46,880
because I have to assume that everyone on this stream would probably buy it

300
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:49,679
what I want to know is would you prefer

301
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:56,080
original Tomb Raider Laura Croft Tomb Raider 2013 Laura Croft or Angelina

302
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:58,600
jooli Laura coft in the Box could we get

303
00:21:56,080 --> 00:22:04,440
old school Laura coft with the graphics in detail of current day no you have to

304
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:06,919
pick one a which Tomb Raider current day

305
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:14,200
lcraft cuz she's a real woman excellent choice Kyle I I agree

306
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:19,120
that's my reasoning so Angelina Jolie Lara Croft is not a real

307
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:22,760
woman oh was that an option was Angelina Jolie an option you weren't even

308
00:22:20,919 --> 00:22:27,279
listening all you heard was Lura Croft comes in the box and you're like boom

309
00:22:24,919 --> 00:22:31,679
yeah I didn't know this was such an open open topic uh just feel like I feel like

310
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:36,559
she'd be kind of high maintenance wait so so if I if I pick

311
00:22:34,039 --> 00:22:40,080
the the current gen video game lcraft is that mean I could control her just like

312
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:44,760
in the game no because I would have no control over Angel no let's say they

313
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:44,760
come with their respective

314
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:51,000
personalities what okay I'd say I'd say

315
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:54,400
current Jen um is this current Jen Laura Croft because she seems like a down toe

316
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:57,600
chick you know is this really the topic of the straw pole that you're creating

317
00:22:56,320 --> 00:23:02,240
yeah yeah yeah yeah it's just taking me a little while cuz I'm not signed into twitch chat for some reason I'm not sure

318
00:23:00,360 --> 00:23:07,559
what's going on here I see stop it twitch what are you

319
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:11,120
doing log me in please thank

320
00:23:07,559 --> 00:23:12,520
you stop being broken would appreciate

321
00:23:11,120 --> 00:23:16,400
that very much I think I think this is where you and I have to start dancing

322
00:23:14,559 --> 00:23:20,200
and just distract the the viewers while while lonus figures this out that would

323
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:27,640
actually be incredibly helpful right about now um come on do you have any props

324
00:23:23,919 --> 00:23:29,120
here what can we I have a wine opener

325
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:32,720
why are we talking about props first we're talking about blowup dolls now

326
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:38,120
we're talking about props there's a SE clamp over there wait I don't even want

327
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:42,000
to know what you could do with a C clamp all

328
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:48,840
right so let's take a couple more tweets about this whole Ubisoft thing and then

329
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:51,039
um wow 46 New notifications man you guys

330
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:54,520
you guys hit me so fast on Twitter these days I don't think game should be

331
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:57,640
restricted in any way where's Luke by the way what happened to Luke did he

332
00:23:56,039 --> 00:24:03,360
finally quit you don't know where oh well you've been in Hawai I've been I've been of with reality notw

333
00:24:01,159 --> 00:24:07,200
that Luke has been in Europe he in Europe oh sweet Luke has been in most of

334
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:11,039
Europe from from what I can tell just like Demitri is he in Dimitri like are

335
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:14,200
they are they dating they actually met because when you go to Europe and

336
00:24:12,679 --> 00:24:20,320
there's somebody else in Europe you meet that you meet them in Europe that's what you do that is how Europe works I think

337
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:25,279
Daniel Hoff over there better be careful with ideas like that uh he just tweeted

338
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:29,000
imagine if blizzard did DLC with wow where if you want access to a particular

339
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:33,840
instance you pay a small incremental amount for it wow well they effectively

340
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:38,720
have a much better deal going with a monthly subscription that's true but

341
00:24:35,799 --> 00:24:43,840
they could do both I don't think people would go for that that's but they don't

342
00:24:41,279 --> 00:24:50,919
have to that's the thing about DLC is that nobody has to buy it well there's

343
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:53,440
plenty of like uh uh frill you

344
00:24:50,919 --> 00:24:57,000
know vanity items and stuff and wow that you can buy like in the store and stuff

345
00:24:55,120 --> 00:25:01,880
like that I never bought any of them but I I will say that my wife did from time

346
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:03,880
to time she got the star Pony your your

347
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:07,799
wife is very vain all those did you ever have a star Pony Dy items no I never had

348
00:25:06,039 --> 00:25:13,520
a star Pony all right what else we got for tweets here got people asking where

349
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:18,240
they can buy a Gigabyte GTX 980 I don't

350
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:19,880
know the internet um a Graves says I

351
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:23,440
think increasing the price of AAA titles is not ridiculous but might Stu start

352
00:25:21,679 --> 00:25:27,279
scaring off buyers I mean that's the thing that's scary here is for all the

353
00:25:25,360 --> 00:25:30,559
vocal minority that's complaining about this there's going to going to be lots

354
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:36,120
of people who don't care and then there's going to be the people who are actually buying it and I guarantee you

355
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:40,120
that if it was affecting sales in some kind of negative way so if it was

356
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:47,039
actually scaring off buyers Mr Graves I guarantee you Ubisoft wouldn't be doing

357
00:25:41,919 --> 00:25:49,600
it so there you go wow kimchi Manu Mandu

358
00:25:47,039 --> 00:25:55,360
says I don't mind the 30 FPS I lock most of my games at 30 or 60 so I don't

359
00:25:51,799 --> 00:25:58,480
really mind not many PC Gamers that do

360
00:25:55,360 --> 00:25:59,679
that I sometimes do 60 it depends on the

361
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:04,240
game though really that's one of the benefits

362
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:08,440
of PC gaming is that you don't have to conform to 30fps you're not locked in

363
00:26:06,399 --> 00:26:13,039
yeah V I was doing I was doing adaptive vsync for a while um on games that

364
00:26:10,679 --> 00:26:16,919
supported it I I I didn't mind it I thought it was a I mean when you have a

365
00:26:15,039 --> 00:26:21,679
monitor that can't do more than 60 HZ anyway I I felt like there wasn't much

366
00:26:19,039 --> 00:26:27,279
benefit to going beyond that here's a tweet from rsmith 17 you aren't taking

367
00:26:24,559 --> 00:26:33,120
into account that games sell many more copies now than did and this offsets the

368
00:26:30,120 --> 00:26:35,960
inflation okay you can make that

369
00:26:33,120 --> 00:26:41,520
argument but the price of an item is has never been dictated by the cost of it

370
00:26:39,399 --> 00:26:48,000
the price of an item is dictated by What It's Worth to the buyer and then it kind

371
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:52,200
of scales with the market from there so

372
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:54,039
if if it's if it was worth $60 or $50 or

373
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:58,000
$80 or some of these older games people are Tweeting or even more if it was

374
00:26:55,520 --> 00:27:03,720
worth that to the buyer then then it's probably still worth that relative

375
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:05,679
amount of income to the buyer now

376
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:08,600
so yeah the fact that they're selling more copies of it means that they're

377
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:13,480
going to make more money but it doesn't mean that

378
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:18,240
the that theost gone down yeah it doesn't mean the value goes down per per

379
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:22,760
user it doesn't really work that way I mean they're businesses they're they are

380
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:28,640
trying to make money whether we sort of like this or not and you know what Indie

381
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:29,840
developers are businesses they if they

382
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:35,840
make money they're not going to be sad you watch indie game the movie you think the Super Meat Boy guy is like sad that

383
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:40,159
his game sells lots of copies and he makes shedloads of money I mean yeah

384
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:45,039
they do it out of passion sure but that doesn't mean they don't want to make money and they're not going to try to

385
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:50,120
make money but about notch I'm sorry what about notch what

386
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:56,360
what about notch he's made more money than like probably everyone in the town

387
00:27:53,279 --> 00:27:58,799
I'm in Combined but he is also taking a

388
00:27:56,360 --> 00:28:03,840
step that will potentially make him a lot less money right but he has lots of

389
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:08,000
money already so he's reached he's reached a point of of of Mone where

390
00:28:07,120 --> 00:28:12,039
where it doesn't really make a difference anymore it kind of feels like

391
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:17,159
that all right so why don't we move on to our next topic here which is fast

392
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:21,120
charging batteries with a 20year lifetime this was posted by meev on the

393
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:25,919
Forum and the original article is from engadget.com I'm just going to go ahead

394
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:29,080
and pop that up for you guys to enjoy

395
00:28:25,919 --> 00:28:31,440
but this looks freaking promising

396
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:35,399
apparently the technology is not super expensive to produce and we could be

397
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:41,760
looking at batteries that can charge up to 70% and these would be new lithium

398
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:44,880
ion batteries up to 70% in 2

399
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:47,440
minutes that's ridiculous yeah I mean

400
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:52,279
wow I mean okay s here question question for you guys and you can debate amongst

401
00:28:49,399 --> 00:28:57,880
yourselves but what's more important to you long battery life or fast charging

402
00:28:55,159 --> 00:29:01,440
with the same battery life we have today uh uh I'll go for long battery life

403
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:05,760
because I'm pretty good about plugging in my phone every night if my phone can

404
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:09,960
last all day with heavy use then it's going to get a full charge every night

405
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:13,679
so uh yeah that would be it for me fast charging is nice but at the end of the

406
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:18,640
day you still need something to charge it with I would prefer just having a

407
00:29:16,399 --> 00:29:23,919
self-contained battery that lasts as long as it does regardless of where I am

408
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:27,440
or if I have an AC power outlet near me I guess it's a lifestyle thing too

409
00:29:25,559 --> 00:29:31,519
though because if you're if you go to work where you have an outlet next to

410
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:35,000
you like you work at a desk then fast charging is great you just give it a zap

411
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:39,000
whenever you need it however if you go to work where you're on the go all day

412
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:45,720
and you're moving around and you're using your phone a lot then I guess longer battery life is more useful but

413
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:48,480
either way this will enable potentially

414
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:53,440
devices with larger batteries to also be charged much more quickly so if we had

415
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:56,840
you know I I usually assume when some research comes out and they talk about

416
00:29:55,159 --> 00:30:00,640
what percentage they can charge in X number of minutes um for like a phone I

417
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:08,200
usually assume they're talking about an iPhone so we can say somewhere in the 1,800 to 2100 milliamp hour range so if

418
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:11,960
you had a tablet let's say a 6,000 milliamp battery or 5,000 oh no they

419
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:15,679
don't go up to that high do they what are they usually like 4,000 to 6,000

420
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:19,559
somewhere in that range I think three to five I've seen yeah okay well whatever

421
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:25,440
so the point is we could maybe charge that to 70% in 10 minutes or 5 minutes

422
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:30,200
or 6 minutes or whatever the case may be so pretty darn exciting so they're using

423
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:34,320
titanium dioxide nanot tubes for the anode rather than graphite which speeds

424
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:38,720
up the battery's chemical reactions offering 10,000 charging Cycles rather

425
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:41,919
than the usual 500 so would that be something that's more important to you

426
00:30:40,039 --> 00:30:45,960
than the fast charging the fact that now you can get 20 times longer life out of

427
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:51,080
it especially now that so many devices don't have removable batteries when you

428
00:30:49,519 --> 00:30:55,159
first when I first was looking at this story earlier I I was very excited

429
00:30:53,519 --> 00:30:58,320
initially because I'm always happy when I see Battery Technology improvements

430
00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:04,200
because I think that's just something that's lagged behind so so badly um but

431
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:08,360
my my secondary reaction was I hope it doesn't have like some sort of negative

432
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:13,279
impact you know I hope each one of these that they create doesn't you know kill

433
00:31:10,399 --> 00:31:20,120
10 baby seals or something like that um so yeah that that's that's a pretty big

434
00:31:16,919 --> 00:31:22,360
factor for me at this point um when it

435
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:26,760
goes into especially for technology is going to be the environmental impact it

436
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:31,320
might have as well so uh think of the children Factor think of the children

437
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:35,360
yes of the seals our future but yeah I mean if you have something and it's

438
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:39,240
going to last 10,000 Char charging Cycles rather than 500 it should last a

439
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:45,360
lot longer hopefully maybe the device could last longer um I mean another

440
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:48,960
discussion is is is if we're reaching a point of capability with the technology

441
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:53,760
and the speed where devices might start lasting longer rather than being

442
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:55,760
replaced in one or two years um so yeah

443
00:31:53,760 --> 00:32:01,399
timing for this could be perfect then yeah so you get a device that you know

444
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:04,360
isn't really getting that much faster every generation so you don't really

445
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:08,200
feel the need to replace it so often I mean something like this could be great

446
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:12,399
for your Project Ara phone so you could you know buy yourself a a quick charge

447
00:32:10,519 --> 00:32:16,960
module versus the standard battery module and make that thing last freaking

448
00:32:14,559 --> 00:32:22,240
forever I mean once you have a portable device that can do you know say 4K

449
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:27,360
resolution on a handheld display and have 48 hours of battery life and you

450
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:31,440
know apart from gam playay what really stress thing to you do with the phone so

451
00:32:29,919 --> 00:32:37,240
as long as it's not physically wearing out um or bending then it should be able

452
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:42,720
to last a reasonable amount of time question for

453
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:44,880
you is do we really even need 4k on a

454
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:49,799
mobile display I mean have you have you used the LG

455
00:32:46,399 --> 00:32:52,039
G3 no I haven't uh I I don't really

456
00:32:49,799 --> 00:32:57,120
think so I think it's Overkill I think the retina displays and the small

457
00:32:53,960 --> 00:33:00,240
devices are pretty pretty absurd um a

458
00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:02,360
lot of the time I mean it's it's a pixel

459
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:07,880
race it's a pixel race for smartphones I feel and I wish there was more of a

460
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:09,639
pixel race for for PC monitors um

461
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:14,559
because you know like the Nexus 6 is coming out and it's got a 2560 by 1440

462
00:33:12,519 --> 00:33:18,919
screen and most people that have monitors are still running 1080 which is

463
00:33:16,799 --> 00:33:22,000
I I I find that ridiculous that a 5 and a half inch screen or a 6inch screen

464
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:26,120
whatever has a higher resolution than the monitor that you're using every day

465
00:33:23,799 --> 00:33:30,600
for work or for gaming whatnot when the funniest thing about it is you know what

466
00:33:28,639 --> 00:33:36,279
I've been using the iPhone 6 for over a week now and it never occurred to me for

467
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:41,080
even a second that the screen was low res because it really really doesn't

468
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:45,480
matter like relatively low res it's still retina or whatever but it's it's

469
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:49,080
not as high res as the 1 M8 that I was using right before it so yeah it's it's

470
00:33:47,519 --> 00:33:53,320
just funny you mention that not only can I not tell the difference between 1440p

471
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:56,720
and 1080 but I couldn't even tell the difference stepping down to uh whatever

472
00:33:55,399 --> 00:34:00,559
this is cuz it's not 1080 I mean there's definitely something

473
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:05,039
we said for getting up to that point where you know 1080 and Beyond because

474
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:07,720
Steve's Steve's Windows phone that he has he was shown to me and that was my

475
00:34:06,399 --> 00:34:11,520
first thing I noticed about was like oh this has like an 800x 600 display on it

476
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:15,000
or something which is why it cost like 60 bucks but yeah I mean once you once

477
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:19,119
you get to a certain amount of pixel density I think it's really doesn't

478
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:23,480
matter for a handheld device all right so speaking of handheld

479
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:30,200
devices why don't we uh why don't we jump into Android 5.0 Lollipop the Nexus

480
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:32,440
9 and the Nexus 6 so guys uh start

481
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:36,200
hitting us on Twitter so it's oh I can't really point over there very well here

482
00:34:34,119 --> 00:34:41,760
we go Linus tech on Twitter want to start hearing from you guys about

483
00:34:37,919 --> 00:34:43,359
Android 5.0 Lollipop Nexus 9 and Nexus 6

484
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:47,639
what are your thoughts we will go through some of those but first let's

485
00:34:45,159 --> 00:34:52,760
sort of briefly run through exactly what's going on here so um Android 5.0

486
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:58,040
is coming in the next few months for the Nexus 5 710 and Google Play edition

487
00:34:55,520 --> 00:35:06,000
devices as well as the upcoming 6 and9 so we now have nexus's 5 6 7 9 10

488
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:10,040
hm wow all at the same time amazing what happened to eight that's all I've ever

489
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:13,240
wanted was an 8 in Google device yeah it would be great I would rate it eight out

490
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:18,880
of eight mate dear S I think my wife has one of

491
00:35:15,839 --> 00:35:20,599
those um all right so the Nexus player

492
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:25,760
streaming media device is also getting it it's biggest new feature is material

493
00:35:23,599 --> 00:35:30,960
design it overhauls almost all of the gooey this is the biggest Android

494
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:33,800
changed since Ice Cream Sandwich back in

495
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:39,800
2011 it has new refined animations a new color palette revamped multitasking

496
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:41,839
voice controls and also brings 5,000 new

497
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:45,880
apis for developers to tap into and lets multiple devices and various form

498
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:48,760
factors work together better there's improved syncing options new

499
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:53,760
notification settings and controls improved battery saving something that I

500
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:59,079
would be really happy to see because being back on iOS again has actually

501
00:35:56,240 --> 00:36:05,200
been super duper nice because particularly when the phone is Idle the

502
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:07,920
power management is just so much better

503
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:11,200
uh multiple user accounts something I I guess we should have seen coming I mean

504
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:14,480
as someone with a family I'm not necessarily going to buy my 5-year-old a

505
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:20,079
phone but I also don't want him running a mock on my OS doing all my things when

506
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:24,319
uh it would be better if he just had his own playground um and some third parties

507
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:28,920
have added stuff like this already so we've got you know HTC has a kid mode if

508
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:33,319
I recall correctly and I think Samsung does as well so now you can get it

509
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:39,520
without subjecting yourself to uh to touch whiz or using sense um

510
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:43,200
what else is there in here multiple user accounts yeah so that's basically it now

511
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:49,359
we can get into the hardware of the phone so Paul want to run us through the

512
00:36:46,079 --> 00:36:50,960
Nexus 6 maybe give us your thoughts uh

513
00:36:49,359 --> 00:36:57,160
yeah so this is this is something that we were discussing a little bit before the show started but I'm I'm looking for

514
00:36:55,319 --> 00:37:01,560
a new phone soon actually I have a new contract starting and when I saw the

515
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:04,720
Nexus 6 I was oh sorry Kyle it's okay there you go I want to I want to be I

516
00:37:03,119 --> 00:37:09,000
want to read it too when I saw the Nexus 6 uh I was like oh like I want to get a

517
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:14,160
new phone I I don't care really which phone I get at this point but I want it

518
00:37:10,599 --> 00:37:18,119
to be a new one um so it gave me some

519
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:20,640
consideration but yeah 5.96 in 2560 X

520
00:37:18,119 --> 00:37:25,520
1440 uh panel which we were just talking about not a huge difference but hey it's

521
00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:31,079
it's a nice screen I'm sure 13 megapixel camera um I like the 4K recording that's

522
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:35,640
I I've been using my phone at times to to do random video recording here and

523
00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:41,280
there and being able to record at 4K that's that's pretty nice uh 2 megapixel

524
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:43,480
front-facing camera um for this for the

525
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:48,040
Selfies I think it's got an f-stop of two as well so it's got a pretty wide

526
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:51,319
aperture which means uh you know you can get some good low lighting uh

527
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:56,680
performance as well as that nice defocused background go for a more cinematic feel do you think more

528
00:37:54,440 --> 00:38:02,560
cinematic oh you've got to be kidding me so so you're worded

529
00:37:58,240 --> 00:38:05,119
effects on selfies really of course it's

530
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:09,359
it's trending it's trending right now what can I say I mean look at look at

531
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:11,800
the filters that they have on on Instagram you know that that's one of

532
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:17,640
the popular ones where they put the depth of field you know you blur everything except the subject take your

533
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:23,119
social media to the next level lus I'm very excited about that indulge 32 all

534
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:26,160
right 30 3,220 Mah hour battery is

535
00:38:23,119 --> 00:38:27,960
something that's is yeah whatever that's

536
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:33,640
been my biggest complaint recently my phone batter is really really sucking

537
00:38:30,839 --> 00:38:39,480
lately in the last six months of its existence um so so yeah hopefully the

538
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:44,000
larger battery combined with the uh the lollipop features of uh particularly

539
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:49,520
saving power when it's like right about to shut off that's what I hate my phone

540
00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:52,560
battery runs out and then I plug it in and then I have to like wait like if I'm

541
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:57,839
going to bed and I use my phone as an alarm and the battery dies and I go to

542
00:38:55,040 --> 00:39:01,440
plug it in I have to like wait for five plus minutes to get enough charge to

543
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:04,040
turn it on so that my alarm will go off that's that's an annoyance that's

544
00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:09,280
happened to me several times you know what's funny is um yeah I mean this is

545
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:13,400
this looks like this looks like um Google catching up to what other guys

546
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:16,599
were already doing like Samsung had that high endurance mode or whatever they

547
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:21,640
were calling it where your phone could last for like multiple days on a few per

548
00:39:19,240 --> 00:39:26,240
charge cuz it just like didn't do basically anything it was like two color

549
00:39:24,079 --> 00:39:29,040
display and all that kind of stuff and it's funny that you mentioned that with

550
00:39:27,599 --> 00:39:34,200
your phone because I don't know about other manufacturers but HTC actually

551
00:39:31,240 --> 00:39:37,920
reserves enough battery to wake itself up to have an alarm go off even if it

552
00:39:36,119 --> 00:39:43,480
dies in the middle of the night so you might want to find find a manufacturer

553
00:39:40,079 --> 00:39:45,560
whose phone does that I do love HTC pH

554
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:50,400
or there have been many HTC phones that I've enjoyed in the past uh my wife has

555
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:58,000
the one and she she's really enjoyed it and she uses she uses it to play audio

556
00:39:53,520 --> 00:40:00,960
books so thoughts on the $649 99

557
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:06,119
unlocked price point though I was disappointed that was that's steep yeah

558
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:10,960
so um I mean it's too early to say now too but I mean there was also a rumor

559
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:14,000
the day I think the day of the the launch of these when they you know when

560
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:20,040
they first started discussing them publicly that uh I think AT&T had posted

561
00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:24,800
the pre-order or something accidentally for the Nexus 6 and it was like 50 bucks

562
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:29,400
on contract and I I'm starting to think like that

563
00:40:27,839 --> 00:40:32,160
might have been just a mistake and probably not actually going to be what

564
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:38,720
what what they're going to charge for it cuz 650 with contract is still probably

565
00:40:35,599 --> 00:40:39,839
seems to me like a one1 to $200 upfront

566
00:40:38,720 --> 00:40:45,119
investment they're going to ask especially when it's brand

567
00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:48,760
new yeah yeah I'm I'm pretty disappointed I mean I don't know that

568
00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:52,640
this has been confirmed or anything but I would suspect based on that the fact

569
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:56,400
that there's not much actual spec difference now between the Nexus 5 and

570
00:40:54,160 --> 00:41:01,119
the Nexus 6 we're going to see those two devices coexist

571
00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:03,440
in addition to that I mean even Apple

572
00:41:01,119 --> 00:41:10,400
has finally acknowledged that there isn't just one size fits all for phone

573
00:41:06,839 --> 00:41:12,359
physical sizes so for for when when I

574
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:17,359
first heard that the Nexus 6 was going to be a 6in device or whatever it is 5.9

575
00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:22,160
I think when I first heard that it was going to be a 6in class device I kind of

576
00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:28,400
went what are they high I mean yeah I know that the note series does great and

577
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:30,839
I know that Samsung basically created

578
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:36,079
the the hype around this fablet category that is that is doing incredibly well

579
00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:38,280
with even Apple jumping on board but to

580
00:41:36,079 --> 00:41:42,920
for that to be their only device cuz that's what we've seen from Google in

581
00:41:39,599 --> 00:41:44,599
the past there's the Nexus device and

582
00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:48,920
then there's Google Play editions of like other stuff um but it looks I I

583
00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:53,480
think just for the first time we're going to get the Nexus 5 to just kind of

584
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:58,160
continue forever or at least for quite a while and then the Nexus 6 is going to

585
00:41:55,359 --> 00:42:02,280
be in addition to that so I think the fact that it's priced higher makes more

586
00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:08,160
sense that way because if they're still going to offer a a value option and the

587
00:42:05,319 --> 00:42:11,160
Nexus 5 is still a great device then they don't have to worry so much about

588
00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:15,400
making the Nexus 6 so competitively priced and I got to wonder if there's

589
00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:20,200
pressure on them from the handset makers because it was a few months ago but we

590
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:24,920
we saw a report that I think Apple and Samsung were the only profitable handset

591
00:42:23,359 --> 00:42:31,280
divisions within their respective companies so you know guys like HTC who

592
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:34,720
are not doing very well LG's mobile division has been doing better but even

593
00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:39,079
then I still don't think it's like an exceptional Money Maker for them maybe

594
00:42:36,839 --> 00:42:43,599
you know Google jumping in and kind of going yay phones should be commodity

595
00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:48,720
cheap like super cheap um was upsetting their

596
00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:50,599
Partners I mean is is it something where

597
00:42:48,720 --> 00:42:56,119
you think if they get enough investment in the platform that is similar to like

598
00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:59,240
how how consoles are sold that they might be able to

599
00:42:57,960 --> 00:43:04,160
provide more of an incentive to manufacturers to selling selling the

600
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:08,480
devices for cheaper like could that be a uh a business tactic that they could

601
00:43:06,559 --> 00:43:13,200
could use to take on Apple and their kind of what they they then could

602
00:43:10,319 --> 00:43:18,440
position as like overpriced devices no I don't think so because

603
00:43:15,680 --> 00:43:22,599
the it's in no one's on from on the business side of thing it's things it's

604
00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:27,839
in no one's best interest to lower the ASP of a category the only time you're

605
00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:32,839
going to lower your average sell price is to try to nickel and dime a

606
00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:37,720
competitor so for Google why do they care because they've already got the

607
00:43:35,319 --> 00:43:44,079
Lion Share of the mobile market with apple in a like decisively in second now

608
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:49,079
and Microsoft just barely even a player and

609
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:50,960
blackberry barlier than that so it's not

610
00:43:49,079 --> 00:43:55,400
like if they make high-end devices cheaper they're likely to sell more

611
00:43:53,200 --> 00:44:00,000
Android devices in general or gain more market share and the way Google's making

612
00:43:57,359 --> 00:44:03,880
their money is through the data mining that they're doing as well as through

613
00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:07,520
Google Play store purchases which maybe they could buy slightly higher end games

614
00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:13,079
for their phones but let's face it people who are going to buy a you know

615
00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:20,240
$49 device off of a Chinese website are probably not buying $9 apps anyway so

616
00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:22,160
that customer is of no benefit to Google

617
00:44:20,240 --> 00:44:25,520
if just because they there no additional benefit to Google Just because they have

618
00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:30,119
higher end phone Hardware Kyle

619
00:44:27,559 --> 00:44:34,599
I think uh so so do you think cuz cuz the Nexus 5 was not anywhere near the

620
00:44:32,599 --> 00:44:39,960
the retail price of of the Nexus 6 it's like 300 bucks isn't it yeah so I if if

621
00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:43,720
that's such a wide Gap going from five to six but the specs aren't really that

622
00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:48,880
much different are you assuming that Google's going to be releasing some kind

623
00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:50,599
of lower end more affordable price point

624
00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:55,319
option in the future is that do you think that's their strategy behind such

625
00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:58,400
a such a high price for for the Nexus 6 no I think it'll just still be the Nexus

626
00:44:56,760 --> 00:45:04,319
5 I think they're just not going to not going to have it go away or they're going to leave it for now and see how it

627
00:45:01,240 --> 00:45:06,319
goes um let's go to Twitter cuz I kind

628
00:45:04,319 --> 00:45:11,359
of said that I would I would listen to people on Twitter about this so here we

629
00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:14,640
go Ernie considering Shield tablet can you suggest comparable tablets in terms

630
00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:17,240
of value and features not really if you want the features a Shield tablet has

631
00:45:16,240 --> 00:45:21,800
then you're kind of stuck with The Shield tablet ireena says thinking of

632
00:45:20,119 --> 00:45:26,760
getting a new phone next to six is not going to be it because it's too

633
00:45:23,240 --> 00:45:29,800
expensive and too big Amir says it's too

634
00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:32,079
big Max size for me is 5 in lollipop

635
00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:37,000
tried too hard with material design it's overdone interesting uh Phantom fish

636
00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:42,000
says I honestly think it looks similar to iOS bottom swipe up Graphics respond

637
00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:45,720
to messages from taskbar Etc Micah I have a Nexus 7 but I don't have a

638
00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:49,559
SmartPhone I think the Nexus 6 is too big if I were to buy it I could just use

639
00:45:47,240 --> 00:45:57,280
the seven and that's a good point where the the line is blurred I mean Google's

640
00:45:51,720 --> 00:46:01,359
last gen tablet device is now similar to

641
00:45:57,280 --> 00:46:01,359
the size of their current gen phone

642
00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:10,119
device um oh yeah we should probably very briefly go through what the Nexus 9

643
00:46:06,440 --> 00:46:12,839
is so it's 8.9 in 20 48x 1536 IPS

644
00:46:10,119 --> 00:46:17,720
display that's a 4x3 aspect ratio for those of you who didn't pick up on that

645
00:46:15,319 --> 00:46:22,559
um so so interesting acknowledging that apple is right about that very

646
00:46:19,640 --> 00:46:27,720
interesting um 8 megapixel rear camera 1.6 megapixel front camera dual front

647
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:29,960
facing speakers Tegra K1 uh assumed to

648
00:46:27,720 --> 00:46:34,480
be the 2.5 GHz dual core model though not confirmed 64-bit processor with 16

649
00:46:32,839 --> 00:46:38,359
or 32 gigs of storage aluminum construction and going to be made by HTC

650
00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:45,800
pricing looks a little bit more reasonable here 3.99 for 16 gig 42479

651
00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:49,319
for 32 gig and 599 for 32 gig with LTE

652
00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:50,960
but again not Nexus aggressive I mean

653
00:46:49,319 --> 00:46:54,440
that was the whole thing with the Nexus 7 is if I recall correctly that thing

654
00:46:53,200 --> 00:47:00,880
launched at what $199.99 was the original Nexus 7 price

655
00:46:58,319 --> 00:47:05,640
generation one I believe so yeah one one might have been 250 cuz that was the

656
00:47:02,559 --> 00:47:08,480
whole concept bringing the Google you

657
00:47:05,640 --> 00:47:12,160
know stock Android experience to the masses that was what made them so

658
00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:17,880
appealing well now yeah we get a couple more inches but is that really worth the

659
00:47:14,839 --> 00:47:21,599
couple hundred dollar extra we're paying

660
00:47:17,880 --> 00:47:23,480
hard to say Nexus 9 versus Shield tablet

661
00:47:21,599 --> 00:47:28,200
oh Shield tablet for sure for me if you're a gamer you got to go for the

662
00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:30,680
Shield tablet it has the quad core

663
00:47:28,200 --> 00:47:34,920
um it has the stylus build quality is not metal but

664
00:47:33,079 --> 00:47:39,240
solid and it has gam stream if you're going to game on it at all then having

665
00:47:37,359 --> 00:47:42,839
having game stream from your GeForce PC is a pretty pretty good thing to

666
00:47:43,520 --> 00:47:49,079
have all right Jonah the boss the price is not

667
00:47:47,280 --> 00:47:54,680
reasonable got it um Oliver says so is this Android

668
00:47:52,920 --> 00:47:58,920
Silver but maybe they kept the Nexus name yeah there were rumors about

669
00:47:56,119 --> 00:48:04,280
Android Silver maybe silver means not cheap anymore but basically the same

670
00:48:01,800 --> 00:48:08,680
thing kimchi love Nexus for the low price point after I heard the price my

671
00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:15,079
heart sank down to the ground Phantom fish I think we saw this

672
00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:19,359
tweet before uh NEX Nexus 5 is Max size

673
00:48:15,079 --> 00:48:19,359
for my largest hands Nexus 6 is too

674
00:48:20,040 --> 00:48:26,240
big wow there's not a whole lot of positivity about this on Twitter here is

675
00:48:24,400 --> 00:48:32,880
there there I think I think people were too like people enjoyed the price of the

676
00:48:30,520 --> 00:48:35,520
Nexus 5 so much like they were just really expecting oh they're going to

677
00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:40,599
come out with another phone and it's going to be available and I'm going to be able to buy it with no contract for

678
00:48:38,520 --> 00:48:46,480
three or 400 bucks of all the Nexus devices really I mean I bought my second

679
00:48:42,760 --> 00:48:48,599
generation Nexus 7 for 220 bucks and it

680
00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:53,280
wasn't even on sale and if you think about it the Nexus 6 is is basically

681
00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:57,440
just like a Nexus Nexus 7 except it's a phone and it's 1 in smaller but people

682
00:48:55,799 --> 00:49:03,240
who are getting the Nexus will virtually have no reason at all to

683
00:48:59,359 --> 00:49:06,240
buy a Nexus 7 tablet especially when

684
00:49:03,240 --> 00:49:08,720
third of price if I recall correctly so

685
00:49:06,240 --> 00:49:12,440
so on the phone side we might keep Nexus 5 around for quite a while but on the

686
00:49:10,599 --> 00:49:19,319
tablet side it looks like the entry level Nexus tablet is going to be 400

687
00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:23,799
bucks Oliver says looking forward to 60fps

688
00:49:21,680 --> 00:49:28,079
animations not looking forward to apps that don't support material design

689
00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:32,799
inconsistency in apps is EU that is a very good point Nexus 6 is most

690
00:49:30,720 --> 00:49:36,960
definitely Flagship but what about makes it more expensive than the Nexus 9

691
00:49:34,760 --> 00:49:41,559
tablet that's a that's an interesting that's an interesting

692
00:49:39,119 --> 00:49:46,520
point that it can fit in your pocket barely no that it's that the that the

693
00:49:43,920 --> 00:49:49,880
price is so much more than the Nexus 9 tablet in spite of like what are what

694
00:49:48,559 --> 00:49:56,160
are the hardware differences here exactly I guess uh there's less right

695
00:49:54,799 --> 00:49:59,680
actually I have to do math to figure that the pixel density isn't as high

696
00:49:58,240 --> 00:50:04,839
there's definitely less pixel density and less it's a lower overall resolution

697
00:50:02,040 --> 00:50:09,280
on the Nexus 9 so the the the the display itself could be a pretty decent

698
00:50:07,599 --> 00:50:12,880
Factor yeah but the funny thing about that is if you've ever shopped for

699
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:18,319
replacement displays for a phone I bought one for a Droid DNA not that long

700
00:50:15,240 --> 00:50:20,799
ago they're not expensive like even

701
00:50:18,319 --> 00:50:26,240
buying them on eBay as an end user so there's basically like negligible sales

702
00:50:23,520 --> 00:50:32,040
volume and you have to pay shipping and so like I think I got it for like 70 or

703
00:50:28,559 --> 00:50:34,240
80 bucks shipped to me so I'm sure

704
00:50:32,040 --> 00:50:38,119
Google isn't paying that much for a display for a 5-in device regardless of

705
00:50:36,480 --> 00:50:42,280
pixel density cuz the Droid DNA was a pretty high-end display at the time that

706
00:50:39,559 --> 00:50:46,599
was one of the first 1080p phones we need to have I iix it do a tear down of

707
00:50:44,720 --> 00:50:51,480
this and list the bomb cost of all of the uh all the components yeah I'd be

708
00:50:49,280 --> 00:50:57,240
interested to see if we're getting more more if we're getting closer to Apple

709
00:50:53,799 --> 00:50:59,040
like margins on the Nexus 6

710
00:50:57,240 --> 00:51:06,440
Google's profiting are the cameras the same I feel like uh 13 megap yeah the

711
00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:09,920
camera's nicer 13 megapixel 8

712
00:51:06,440 --> 00:51:12,920
megapixel yeah better camera slightly

713
00:51:09,920 --> 00:51:14,920
slightly higher pixel count uh it's it's

714
00:51:12,920 --> 00:51:18,240
an AMOLED display so battery life should be pretty strong like there there's

715
00:51:16,280 --> 00:51:22,319
stuff going that's good for it but I guess it all adds up but yeah it's still

716
00:51:20,160 --> 00:51:26,760
a huge gap to fill all right so let's move on to our

717
00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:31,640
next uh next topic this was posted by bogus on the Forum and the source is

718
00:51:29,880 --> 00:51:35,480
Goodwin Proctor and this is actually pretty funny if you if you have the kind

719
00:51:33,920 --> 00:51:39,760
of sense of humor where you get amused by things that are super sad so goodwi

720
00:51:37,799 --> 00:51:46,440
Proctor publishes a guide book on litigating with non-practicing entities

721
00:51:42,680 --> 00:51:48,640
also known as patent

722
00:51:46,440 --> 00:51:53,720
trolls so there's there's some notes Here a dramatic surge in patent cases

723
00:51:50,400 --> 00:51:55,680
filed by npes has captured the attention

724
00:51:53,720 --> 00:52:01,160
of corporate America as well as state and federal legisl s both private and

725
00:51:58,319 --> 00:52:05,880
public sectors fuel ongoing calls for new laws designed to mitigate or

726
00:52:03,240 --> 00:52:12,119
eliminate the perceived costs and inefficiencies of patent trol litigation

727
00:52:09,319 --> 00:52:16,240
so in their in their whole guide to how to deal with this there were some

728
00:52:14,200 --> 00:52:21,640
interesting little nuggets one of which was that it appears to be actually more

729
00:52:18,799 --> 00:52:25,280
profitable to patent troll than to deliver products and well not

730
00:52:24,119 --> 00:52:29,240
necessarily to deliver products you're going to make a lot of money if you make a good product product you sell a lot of

731
00:52:27,280 --> 00:52:34,040
them but to be a company that actually makes products and try to sue companies

732
00:52:31,760 --> 00:52:38,119
that infringe your patents so apparently since 2010 patent trolling has been more

733
00:52:36,440 --> 00:52:41,839
profitable than actually delivering a product or service to Market uh

734
00:52:39,880 --> 00:52:45,960
non-practicing entities tend to be more successful in court than practicing

735
00:52:44,119 --> 00:52:50,640
entities and it's getting to the point where legitimate businesses might start

736
00:52:48,040 --> 00:52:56,040
doing it as well so the stats published by Goodwin Proctor um say that so

737
00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:58,960
between 2010 and 2013 the median gain

738
00:52:56,040 --> 00:53:04,920
from a patent suit by trolls is 8 1.2 million the median gain for legitimate

739
00:53:01,480 --> 00:53:07,359
businesses was 22 million so that was in

740
00:53:04,920 --> 00:53:11,799
2013 uh US Dollars this is like saying me and Paul

741
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:16,079
Paul and I could make more money as drug dealers than running an honest YouTube

742
00:53:13,799 --> 00:53:20,559
channel well we probably could but the problem here is they're doing this under

743
00:53:18,280 --> 00:53:24,920
within the bounds of the law yeah and on the backs of the actual YouTube channels

744
00:53:23,200 --> 00:53:30,400
some relaxed morals you'd have to have to no this this

745
00:53:27,200 --> 00:53:32,680
like there's certain types of things

746
00:53:30,400 --> 00:53:36,599
that people do that make that like I really really hate and despise and think

747
00:53:34,720 --> 00:53:42,799
is like kind of the lowest like how do you live with yourself as a person if

748
00:53:38,720 --> 00:53:45,280
you do this or like work for a company

749
00:53:42,799 --> 00:53:50,880
that does this like I don't know I have to have some kind of of like moral like

750
00:53:48,960 --> 00:53:54,400
okayness with the job that I'm doing I have to have some sort of like

751
00:53:52,079 --> 00:53:59,680
investment in like okay you know I'm I'm at least on some level like benefiting

752
00:53:57,160 --> 00:54:06,559
Society or producing something that's of value but like this type of crap I just

753
00:54:02,799 --> 00:54:09,559
I despise like it's it's really really

754
00:54:06,559 --> 00:54:12,000
terrible greed is a monster in all of us

755
00:54:09,559 --> 00:54:18,400
yes well put Kyle dramatic beer drinking drink beer

756
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:20,280
now so this is this is this is actually

757
00:54:18,400 --> 00:54:25,280
this is great so Michael strap a partner at Goodwin and one of the gu's authors

758
00:54:22,400 --> 00:54:30,200
explained uh why the the damage is awarded to trolls are disproportionately

759
00:54:27,200 --> 00:54:32,079
high so there's an economic model for of

760
00:54:30,200 --> 00:54:37,480
patent trolling that includes building up like a a legal War chest by squeezing

761
00:54:35,079 --> 00:54:41,960
settlements from dozens of smaller companies then suing a big fish like a

762
00:54:40,200 --> 00:54:47,440
Google or an apple or something like that so the patent trolls all are more

763
00:54:44,839 --> 00:54:52,359
capable of absorbing a loss in the in these litigations because they've got

764
00:54:49,160 --> 00:54:55,960
their War chest and they don't have

765
00:54:52,359 --> 00:54:58,599
actual you know physical inventory that

766
00:54:55,960 --> 00:55:03,440
is going going to cost them money if all of a sudden they can't sell it because

767
00:55:01,400 --> 00:55:08,400
you know someone sued them over over a patent infringement for example um the

768
00:55:06,240 --> 00:55:12,680
trolls victories in the small suits can be used as evidence in their suit

769
00:55:10,640 --> 00:55:15,839
against the big fish something that a big fish going after someone who's

770
00:55:14,200 --> 00:55:19,480
infringing a patent won't necessarily have because they might not be chasing

771
00:55:17,319 --> 00:55:23,960
down every Tom Dick and Harry and then patent trolls normally try to settle

772
00:55:21,559 --> 00:55:28,520
outside of court and the big fish will usually just take a big loss up front

773
00:55:26,720 --> 00:55:32,640
rather than the guaranteed legal fees to defend themselves and the threat of an

774
00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:38,640
even higher fee if the court does find in favor of the

775
00:55:34,400 --> 00:55:40,680
troll unbelievable I mean I'm not I'm

776
00:55:38,640 --> 00:55:47,280
not a legal expert I think that much should be obvious but something has to

777
00:55:44,640 --> 00:55:51,720
be done you can't have legitimate companies that are innovating and

778
00:55:49,160 --> 00:55:56,799
investing in Technologies like Apple and Google and Microsoft being sued by

779
00:55:54,599 --> 00:56:02,039
people who aren't actually making anything every time they turn around and

780
00:55:59,880 --> 00:56:08,079
I think it's also because like this type of activity is it's not very tangible

781
00:56:05,319 --> 00:56:11,200
you know it's like there's legal talk with involved with it and that sort of

782
00:56:09,640 --> 00:56:17,640
thing so it's difficult for people to grasp at first like how it even works

783
00:56:14,160 --> 00:56:20,000
but like I mean equate it to to like

784
00:56:17,640 --> 00:56:24,200
cheating in a video game like an Aimbot something like that that's that's what

785
00:56:21,839 --> 00:56:28,240
it equates with I mean much worse than that obviously because there's a lot

786
00:56:25,400 --> 00:56:34,319
more money at stake but like think of the hatred that people direct towards

787
00:56:31,599 --> 00:56:38,480
cheaters online at video games and then like transfer that over to real life

788
00:56:36,880 --> 00:56:43,359
please and yeah imagine if they were cheating you out of8 and a half million

789
00:56:40,680 --> 00:56:52,559
dollars on average yeah like damn it that guy stole my head

790
00:56:46,920 --> 00:56:52,559
shot poverty bot oh God poty

791
00:56:54,319 --> 00:56:59,920
B that's terrible this is something to be pissed off this is and is this you

792
00:56:58,559 --> 00:57:05,480
know has there not been that much backlash against the sort of you know

793
00:57:02,680 --> 00:57:08,760
this is more of a recent crime against humanity speak can't do anything about

794
00:57:07,400 --> 00:57:14,760
it that's the problem is the way the laws are set up now is you you can't you

795
00:57:11,880 --> 00:57:17,960
can't do anything so what are you supposed to

796
00:57:15,839 --> 00:57:24,200
do nothing I mean there's uh yeah I I don't

797
00:57:21,559 --> 00:57:28,400
have I don't have any good actionable like suggestions for people to take to

798
00:57:26,200 --> 00:57:32,240
fix this that's that's probably the the biggest problem I mean this this was one

799
00:57:30,400 --> 00:57:36,200
thing when we we were working for New Egg that I always appreciated about them

800
00:57:34,319 --> 00:57:40,880
was that they their legal team will actually go after some people they've

801
00:57:38,119 --> 00:57:47,799
won several cases against some pretty large patent trolls thatp can I think

802
00:57:44,319 --> 00:57:49,319
there was a patent for like um One Click

803
00:57:47,799 --> 00:57:52,799
one click checkout or something like that that basically said screw off we're

804
00:57:51,720 --> 00:57:57,400
going to yeah there's a one click checkout thing there's like the shopping

805
00:57:55,280 --> 00:58:02,079
cart patent like somebody try to be oh any online retailer who has a virtual

806
00:57:59,720 --> 00:58:06,599
shopping cart like we have a patent on that so they all owe us money but New

807
00:58:03,760 --> 00:58:10,039
Egg like fought him and and and took him down and that sort of thing but I mean

808
00:58:07,880 --> 00:58:15,799
that's still just that's like a few there's like a few wins that they have

809
00:58:11,839 --> 00:58:18,000
and the the amount of this that goes on

810
00:58:15,799 --> 00:58:21,440
by comparison I think is is massive and I mean just that's what this article is

811
00:58:19,480 --> 00:58:26,480
about that it's obviously insanely profitable and the snowballing effect

812
00:58:24,359 --> 00:58:30,319
that has is insanely profitable profitable things like this where people

813
00:58:28,440 --> 00:58:34,520
are making that much money they can then offer that money to people who are smart

814
00:58:33,079 --> 00:58:37,920
who can like figure out ways to do it better like that's been the problem in

815
00:58:36,440 --> 00:58:42,119
the states for quite a long time is a lot of like the smartest people and the

816
00:58:39,480 --> 00:58:45,000
smartest graduates from schools are not going into like science the science

817
00:58:44,039 --> 00:58:49,200
sector and that sort of thing they're going into Finance to like learn ways to

818
00:58:47,720 --> 00:58:53,559
gain them Wall Street better and that sort of thing it kind of sucks anyway

819
00:58:50,760 --> 00:58:58,440
sorry to go off topic speaking of uh money being important uh let's go ahead

820
00:58:55,720 --> 00:59:02,640

01:03:04,799 --> 01:03:10,880
from high school they're both uh full-time web developers now they they

876
01:03:08,640 --> 01:03:14,680
build websites professionally and I was trying to get my own website started for

877
01:03:13,200 --> 01:03:19,559
uh for for my own personal YouTube channel and I asked them for any suggestions of just like a no-brainer

878
01:03:18,039 --> 01:03:24,160
site that would just kind of easily handle things for me and both of them

879
01:03:21,920 --> 01:03:29,680
simultaneously were like Squarespace and so uh a week later I signed up for

883
01:03:37,119 --> 01:03:45,319
convinced me of the wrong choice clearly and I I suame I I had suum to the the

884
01:03:43,559 --> 01:03:48,960
persuasion that is steeve you should you should probably try out Squarespace if

885
01:03:47,160 --> 01:03:54,279
you buy a year at a time then they throw in your domain cost for free and uh and

886
01:03:52,520 --> 01:03:58,200
you get a discount obviously cuz you buy a year at a time and oh yeah guys check

887
01:03:56,640 --> 01:04:04,160
out this so this Instagram picture is what I was talking about a second ago

888
01:04:00,079 --> 01:04:07,000
right there three guys one cup on this

889
01:04:04,160 --> 01:04:11,599
like massive massive boom ARM with the camera above him here just absolutely

890
01:04:08,960 --> 01:04:17,599
freaking incredible what's the name of that Instagram account

891
01:04:15,039 --> 01:04:22,000
um sorry I will find if I'll find it yeah it's just his name Alex honold with

892
01:04:19,520 --> 01:04:28,039
two NS all right so our second sponsor today is 54 club and they have a new off

893
01:04:25,720 --> 01:04:32,319
offer that we don't normally do 54 Club tries all kinds of stuff with us so

894
01:04:29,599 --> 01:04:37,359
they've tried like a discount and they've tried putting like Cash In The

895
01:04:35,079 --> 01:04:40,760
Box and now they're trying something completely different and I'm actually

896
01:04:38,960 --> 01:04:46,880
going to get I'm going to get all the numbers right this time 54 Club is the

897
01:04:43,760 --> 01:04:48,720
sponsor whose integration spots I have

898
01:04:46,880 --> 01:04:52,480
screwed up more than any other sponsor it's a bloody miracle that they actually

899
01:04:50,520 --> 01:04:59,279
even advertise with us anymore cuz I've given the wrong pricing I've given the

900
01:04:54,920 --> 01:05:00,799
wrong uh um like discount amount i' I've

901
01:04:59,279 --> 01:05:06,359
done it I've done everything everything wrong with these guys anyway this time

902
01:05:03,079 --> 01:05:08,920
we've got it right bit. Le Linus FFC use

903
01:05:06,359 --> 01:05:12,839
offer code Linus 2 for an extra item in your first package and what would the

904
01:05:11,160 --> 01:05:17,720
items in your package be you might ask well 54 Club is the club that you join

905
01:05:15,319 --> 01:05:22,200
if you want to be well dressed and you want to do it without putting any effort

906
01:05:19,520 --> 01:05:26,279
into it whatsoever basically you go on their site you take a survey that takes

907
01:05:24,640 --> 01:05:29,720
literally so you just click get started you go

908
01:05:27,799 --> 01:05:33,480
through a survey you tell them you know about your style what you like to wear

909
01:05:31,640 --> 01:05:39,680
your sizing and then they have your personal style advisor pick out clothes

910
01:05:35,599 --> 01:05:42,520
for you every month and send them to you

911
01:05:39,680 --> 01:05:45,720
so the membership costs 60 bucks a month I'm just going to double check that make

912
01:05:43,880 --> 01:05:49,920
sure yeah good see I got it right this time the membership cost 60 bucks a

913
01:05:47,640 --> 01:05:53,640
month and compared to the retail pricing on their clothing you're going to be

914
01:05:51,559 --> 01:05:59,200
paying about half so if you're on their site and you see okay well these cost

915
01:05:55,720 --> 01:06:01,799
about $120 that's about how at least at

916
01:05:59,200 --> 01:06:07,079
least $120 worth every month you get for 60 bucks and what they're doing for us

917
01:06:04,680 --> 01:06:13,599
is with offer code Linus 2 you get an extra item worth 35 to 40 bucks in your

918
01:06:10,920 --> 01:06:16,400
package every or not every month the first month see I almost said every

919
01:06:15,079 --> 01:06:20,079
month and I almost screwed it up again but I'm not going to do it this time 54

920
01:06:18,359 --> 01:06:24,440
club guys and I clicked the wrong lower third okay I did man Dr the ball man I

921
01:06:22,599 --> 01:06:29,520
can't do anything right I something about 54 Club

922
01:06:27,240 --> 01:06:33,079
it's a cur I I wear their shirts in my Techquickie videos all the time cuz I

923
01:06:31,279 --> 01:06:37,440
really like that one shirt it's just got a nice little nice little 54 logo and

924
01:06:35,880 --> 01:06:40,920
it's like really comfy and the buttons look nice people compliment me on that

925
01:06:39,039 --> 01:06:43,839
shirt all the time actually SE I've seen that shirt it's a nice shirt it is a

926
01:06:42,400 --> 01:06:47,440
nice shirt I actually really like it I'd pay 60 bucks a month for compliments I

927
01:06:45,720 --> 01:06:52,079
never get those and you're fishing for them right

928
01:06:49,720 --> 01:06:56,839
now you enjoy fishing though don't you speaking of uh being willing to pay

929
01:06:54,799 --> 01:07:01,480
60 bucks a month for compliments I have something nice to say about Blackberry

930
01:06:59,240 --> 01:07:05,400
um they can't keep their passport in stock I don't know if this is more to do

931
01:07:03,880 --> 01:07:11,200
with the fact that they didn't produce enough of them or more to do with that

932
01:07:07,400 --> 01:07:13,000
they uh it's a really great amazing

933
01:07:11,200 --> 01:07:18,720
square device with a keyboard on it that people really really want to buy but uh

934
01:07:15,400 --> 01:07:21,599
there you go they sold 200,000 passports

935
01:07:18,720 --> 01:07:27,039
within 2 days of launch and stock was apparently completely wiped out after 6

936
01:07:24,279 --> 01:07:30,000
hours of sales Amazon alerted purchasers by email that their passport had an

937
01:07:28,319 --> 01:07:35,839
expected delivery date of October 17th to 20th with shop Blackberry quoting

938
01:07:32,520 --> 01:07:37,680
October 29th as the delivery date so

939
01:07:35,839 --> 01:07:41,240
things are looking up maybe for the Blackberry brand as they saw an

940
01:07:38,839 --> 01:07:45,520
operating loss of only 207 Million last quarter below analyst expectations um

941
01:07:43,799 --> 01:07:49,200
they expected a loss of 16 cents per share and only ended up losing 2 cents

942
01:07:47,480 --> 01:07:56,440
per share after exclusions so I haven't tried the

943
01:07:52,760 --> 01:07:58,680
passport I feel like I I kind of I was

944
01:07:56,440 --> 01:08:03,640
very dismissive of it when I first heard about it but

945
01:08:00,760 --> 01:08:07,359
um would love to hear what you guys think about the passport actually uh

946
01:08:05,920 --> 01:08:10,960
we're going to do a straw pull for this one rather than a Twitter Blitz just

947
01:08:09,119 --> 01:08:14,559
because I that way we can have something up while we move on to the next topic we

948
01:08:12,599 --> 01:08:22,279
don't actually have a ton of time left which is sort of unfortunate but

949
01:08:18,600 --> 01:08:26,000
um conversation going on Blackberry

950
01:08:22,279 --> 01:08:27,279
Passport yay neay

951
01:08:26,000 --> 01:08:30,839
those are going to be the options cuz I don't have a whole lot of time to create this

952
01:08:31,199 --> 01:08:38,120
poll all right it's an important one it is an important one I really want to

953
01:08:36,040 --> 01:08:42,880
know what people think of stuff like this like what the heck is this

954
01:08:40,560 --> 01:08:46,120
thing I realize now that I haven't actually shown a picture of it on screen

955
01:08:44,679 --> 01:08:50,159
so I should probably do that just for folks we got a spammer in the chat lonus

956
01:08:48,359 --> 01:08:54,440
I think you need to kick someone yeah I know right I should kick that lonus Tech

957
01:08:51,920 --> 01:09:02,239
Guy what a jerk imposta all right here it

958
01:08:58,839 --> 01:09:03,679
is what what uh is is this BlackBerry

959
01:09:02,239 --> 01:09:09,880
still running their own their own operating system uh yes but apparently

960
01:09:07,440 --> 01:09:14,319
the integration of the Play Store is much better now and you can basically

961
01:09:11,400 --> 01:09:18,520
just install Android apps oh co so they're not nearly as Limited in terms

962
01:09:15,960 --> 01:09:21,560
of app support right there it is all right line of screen share boom

963
01:09:20,120 --> 01:09:26,440
Blackberry Passport got your full keyboard also got

964
01:09:24,279 --> 01:09:33,440
a nice large touchcreen um looks like a very you know a

965
01:09:29,239 --> 01:09:35,319
productivity friendly more Square aspect

966
01:09:33,440 --> 01:09:41,520
ratio so I can see what people like about it um I'm just just not sure if

967
01:09:38,520 --> 01:09:43,679
it's uh if it's the right thing for me

968
01:09:41,520 --> 01:09:49,920
necessarily all right so let's move on to the next topic here

969
01:09:47,359 --> 01:09:52,719
um wow there's a lot of topics that I haven't even touched yet we're just

970
01:09:51,520 --> 01:09:58,280
going to have to go through these pretty fast Facebook's next phone might be built by Samsung there's been a few

971
01:09:55,719 --> 01:10:04,000
meetings between top brass at both companies and the failure of the HTC

972
01:10:01,480 --> 01:10:08,679
First which was the first Facebook phone um is not stopping them from planning a

973
01:10:05,760 --> 01:10:12,199
new phone necessarily and I don't think we're going to see like a like a

974
01:10:10,199 --> 01:10:15,640
Facebook only phone or anything like that but it's more likely to be

975
01:10:13,800 --> 01:10:19,199
something with some Facebook features integrated into it I mean Samsung's one

976
01:10:17,320 --> 01:10:24,719
of the few Android handset makers that is still really sticking with their own

977
01:10:22,840 --> 01:10:29,080
skin on top of Android that is really quite different from how Android is

978
01:10:26,760 --> 01:10:32,679
supposed to work LG actually as well I guess they still have quite a few

979
01:10:30,080 --> 01:10:35,840
differences but um I could see Samsung potentially working in more Facebook

980
01:10:34,120 --> 01:10:39,080
integration not sure how beneficial that would necessarily be to users but hey

981
01:10:37,600 --> 01:10:44,679
whatever it's touch wi so it wouldn't be the first time um YouTube ads linking to

982
01:10:42,840 --> 01:10:48,120
malicious sites this was posted on the Forum by rainfall within and it's from

983
01:10:46,199 --> 01:10:52,400
the Trend Micro blog that we got this information basically these ads were

984
01:10:50,360 --> 01:10:55,960
appearing in videos with up to 11 million views and they don't take you

985
01:10:54,040 --> 01:11:00,960
directly to malicious sites but rather first through advertising sites so the

986
01:10:58,920 --> 01:11:04,560
exploit exploit used in this attack was the Sweet Orange exploit kit which uses

987
01:11:02,880 --> 01:11:09,199
certain vulnerabilities in Java Flash and ie and the final payload of the

988
01:11:06,960 --> 01:11:13,360
attack are variants of the cter malware family which is known for ransomware

989
01:11:11,239 --> 01:11:17,199
attack so there have been 113,000 victims with 95% of them being from the

990
01:11:15,239 --> 01:11:21,360
US mind you there was a patch for this attack in May 2013 so if you keep your

991
01:11:19,000 --> 01:11:24,199
Windows up to date you're probably okay now we've got something that I'm sure

992
01:11:22,920 --> 01:11:31,960
Paul and Kyle are going to want to weigh in Bethesda to officially support

993
01:11:28,320 --> 01:11:33,719
60fps with The Evil Within on PC this is

994
01:11:31,960 --> 01:11:39,719
posted by spoy on the Forum and the original article is from PC Gamer and it

995
01:11:36,080 --> 01:11:42,600
sounds like great news on the surface I

996
01:11:39,719 --> 01:11:51,639
mean we get some console commands for things like God mode which is cool no

997
01:11:45,719 --> 01:11:53,880
clip which is cool but by 30 FPS they

998
01:11:51,639 --> 01:12:01,440
mean they're unlocking it from the previously rumored 30 frames per second

999
01:11:56,679 --> 01:12:06,239
lock to 60 FPS only so you may run the

1000
01:12:01,440 --> 01:12:08,719
game at 30 FPS or 60 FPS but not more

1001
01:12:06,239 --> 01:12:12,199
FPS and they are saying that there's going to be potentially some glitches in

1002
01:12:10,400 --> 01:12:18,760
the game at 60 frames per second at launch but that they will fix them and

1003
01:12:15,480 --> 01:12:20,120
anything else you can set whatever

1004
01:12:18,760 --> 01:12:26,159
resolution you want but it's going to be glitchy and they're not going to fix

1005
01:12:22,600 --> 01:12:29,320
it well kids can I get a 60 is better

1006
01:12:26,159 --> 01:12:33,159
than 30 but it's still not ideal for for

1007
01:12:29,320 --> 01:12:35,440
for gamers that have 144 Herz or 120 HZ

1008
01:12:33,159 --> 01:12:38,000
refresh rate monitors I mean I I think they're still going to be disappointed

1009
01:12:36,560 --> 01:12:41,960
you're going to appease some of the population but uh for the majority it

1010
01:12:40,520 --> 01:12:48,560
just seems like they're trying to cover up their their mistake or or

1011
01:12:45,040 --> 01:12:50,199
whatnot so is it like trying I feel like

1012
01:12:48,560 --> 01:12:55,920
I'm trying to look a gift horse in the mouth here because it's nice that they I

1013
01:12:53,159 --> 01:12:59,000
mean no no actually never mind I'm changing my mind right now screw that

1014
01:12:57,679 --> 01:13:01,880
because we should not be like oh well it was nice of them to at least give 60

1015
01:13:00,719 --> 01:13:06,199
they should have given 60 at the beginning without without having to come

1016
01:13:04,679 --> 01:13:11,040
out and be like oh well we'll maybe give you 60 but we're not really going to actually put any effort into it or

1017
01:13:09,080 --> 01:13:17,280
support it or anything like that this is this is half asked and uh and and and

1018
01:13:15,320 --> 01:13:22,960
and we expect your full next time Bethesda I have a negative opinion of it

1019
01:13:20,120 --> 01:13:27,120
that's what I've decided yes okay I'm not I'm not

1020
01:13:24,120 --> 01:13:27,120
impressed

1021
01:13:27,600 --> 01:13:34,320
all right well there's a couple things I need to mention here really briefly first of all we got our poll results for

1022
01:13:32,320 --> 01:13:40,719
the Blackberry Passport with the overwhelming majority saying me or nay

1023
01:13:37,480 --> 01:13:42,840
and 17% saying yay which is interesting

1024
01:13:40,719 --> 01:13:48,400
because 17% of the smartphone market would still be a very viable business

1025
01:13:44,920 --> 01:13:50,560
for Blackberry also amount also I

1026
01:13:48,400 --> 01:13:56,480
realized that I never showed the picture of the extra item from 54 so once again

1027
01:13:53,679 --> 01:14:00,440
I have screwed up a 5 for integration that is the Henley that you get don't

1028
01:13:58,360 --> 01:14:04,480
worry it doesn't have a crazy pattern on it it's just made from a ribbed material

1029
01:14:02,280 --> 01:14:10,760
actually looks quite nice so there you go I screwed up all the things once

1030
01:14:07,080 --> 01:14:13,040
again go team

1031
01:14:10,760 --> 01:14:19,120
lonus this is why this is why you need slick so but yeah because normally I can

1032
01:14:16,280 --> 01:14:23,080
kind of do these things while he while he handles a topic on his own but I

1033
01:14:21,040 --> 01:14:27,320
don't trust you guys that much yeah all right for good reason well I did have a

1034
01:14:24,679 --> 01:14:31,880
half hour to look over all the topics so oh yeah back to The Evil Within there

1035
01:14:29,639 --> 01:14:38,600
are other problems too you can change the aspect ratio but some gameplay

1036
01:14:35,480 --> 01:14:41,040
prompts appear in the Cinematic black

1037
01:14:38,600 --> 01:14:46,400
bars that are going to only be there if you're running in the correct cinematic

1038
01:14:43,320 --> 01:14:48,199
aspect ratio so you just won't see those

1039
01:14:46,400 --> 01:14:52,040
things if you change the aspect ratio and no that will not be fixed either

1040
01:14:50,080 --> 01:14:55,440
apparently if they were really serious about like wanting to give people a

1041
01:14:53,679 --> 01:14:59,280
better experience of that higher frame rate they would just make it all open

1042
01:14:56,960 --> 01:15:02,760
source so that the modders could go in who were really passionate about it fix

1043
01:15:01,120 --> 01:15:06,719
all those issues and make it run at 60 HZ or 60 frames per second or even

1044
01:15:05,280 --> 01:15:10,360
Beyond you don't even have to make it open source for that you just have to

1045
01:15:08,800 --> 01:15:15,280
just have to enable modders yeah allow some mods to go in there um okay so of

1046
01:15:13,280 --> 01:15:20,520
oops sorry wrong thing uh so of course there was a big Apple event this week um

1047
01:15:19,000 --> 01:15:24,199
and I guess I'll have to do a very quick summary cuz quite frankly there wasn't

1048
01:15:22,480 --> 01:15:27,760
that much of Interest I mean Apple pay is coming Monday which is really cool

1049
01:15:25,679 --> 01:15:33,120
they've got hundreds of banks signed up they've got lots of merchants signed up

1050
01:15:30,360 --> 01:15:38,960
um I mean for me personally the time Savings of whipping out my phone and

1051
01:15:36,000 --> 01:15:42,000
trying it first and then realizing that you know half the time plus it's not

1052
01:15:40,679 --> 01:15:47,600
going to work and needing to take out my card anyway is very limited but the

1053
01:15:45,480 --> 01:15:53,560
Privacy improvements do look pretty impressive so Apple basically stores any

1054
01:15:50,880 --> 01:15:57,400
of your card information in that isolated Nonet work connected chip

1055
01:15:56,000 --> 01:16:01,880
that's right on the phone the same place they keep your fingerprint information

1056
01:15:59,800 --> 01:16:06,760
and they share none of this info with the retailer which is which is very very

1057
01:16:04,440 --> 01:16:11,320
cool so you don't have to worry about your you know ID being seen by someone

1058
01:16:09,639 --> 01:16:17,120
as you hand it to them you don't have to worry about um your credit card number

1059
01:16:13,840 --> 01:16:19,239
being more easy being easier to steal I

1060
01:16:17,120 --> 01:16:24,239
mean actually there was a leak there was a leak this week wasn't there another

1061
01:16:21,360 --> 01:16:30,080
retailer lost a bunch of credit cards what another one I think so I I didn't

1062
01:16:26,800 --> 01:16:31,800
catch that yeah CH are right whatever it

1063
01:16:30,080 --> 01:16:34,920
happens from time to time so the retailer thems wouldn't even need your

1064
01:16:33,480 --> 01:16:40,040
credit card information in order to process your payment which is very cool

1065
01:16:36,960 --> 01:16:42,760
and it's coming also we get a retina 5K

1066
01:16:40,040 --> 01:16:48,600
27in iMac that's super thin comes with mobile 290 gpus and a 295 whatever that

1067
01:16:46,440 --> 01:16:52,080
is I'm not 100% sure what that is but don't get too wrapped up in how great a

1068
01:16:50,440 --> 01:16:57,480
mobile 290 sounds because that's actually a pit Karen GPU so it's very

1069
01:16:53,960 --> 01:16:59,080
similar to a 7 870 actually not really

1070
01:16:57,480 --> 01:17:06,520
that special in terms of performance this is not a mobile 290 to a regular

1071
01:17:02,719 --> 01:17:10,719
290 is not what a mobile you know GTX

1072
01:17:06,520 --> 01:17:14,639
980 is to a desktop gtx980 AMD hasn't

1073
01:17:10,719 --> 01:17:17,280
gotten there yet um so 5K 5120 by 2880

1074
01:17:14,639 --> 01:17:21,760
res it's got Thunderbolt 2 SSD is not standard still for some reason it's got

1075
01:17:19,320 --> 01:17:25,239
the latest core i7s and that all sounds pretty good if you're one of those

1076
01:17:22,960 --> 01:17:28,639
people who is into all-in On's than having something that just functions as

1077
01:17:26,639 --> 01:17:35,280
a display and then something that you connect to it because that is more

1078
01:17:31,239 --> 01:17:39,280
modular which is good um the the new

1079
01:17:35,280 --> 01:17:41,840
iPad Air 2 and iPad Mini 3 are coming so

1080
01:17:39,280 --> 01:17:46,639
they've sold 225 million iPads evidently since they started selling them which is

1081
01:17:43,600 --> 01:17:49,480
unbelievable that's like eight times the

1082
01:17:46,639 --> 01:17:53,320
number of people in Canada altogether it's a lot of iPads yeah yeah that's a

1083
01:17:51,800 --> 01:17:58,239
lot of iPads this this is starting from the very first iPad ever

1084
01:17:56,639 --> 01:18:02,239
so and I think that's something like over four times what Samsung has sold

1085
01:18:00,520 --> 01:18:07,159
total in spite of them having so many models of tablets so it's very very

1086
01:18:05,000 --> 01:18:11,679
impressive and then did you did you happen to hear about the uh the the

1087
01:18:09,159 --> 01:18:16,320
Microsoft Surface Fiasco the deal they signed with the NFL they okay that I

1088
01:18:15,000 --> 01:18:21,560
thought that was yeah with all the commentators calling them iPads on air

1089
01:18:18,280 --> 01:18:23,760
even though yeah I mean the iPad is so

1090
01:18:21,560 --> 01:18:28,560
to the average person it that's just what a tablet is iPad right exactly kex

1091
01:18:27,239 --> 01:18:32,960
and it's it's funny because in the tech Bas we don't think about that because

1092
01:18:30,560 --> 01:18:37,280
obviously an iPad's an iPad and other tablets other tablet but no to regular

1093
01:18:35,800 --> 01:18:42,600
people they just don't give two craps in an iPad's a tablet got to love regular

1094
01:18:39,880 --> 01:18:46,800
people so the new iPad Air 2 is 18% thinner the screen is less reflective

1095
01:18:44,239 --> 01:18:51,920
it's got an a8x so which actually has 50% more transistors than the A8 that we

1096
01:18:49,280 --> 01:18:56,280
find in the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus very interesting not sure uh necessarily

1097
01:18:54,120 --> 01:18:59,440
exactly where those transistors went but performance should be pretty darn

1098
01:18:57,440 --> 01:19:05,120
impressive it's got a better camera so you can be a pad hole walk around take

1099
01:19:02,320 --> 01:19:10,199
pictures and Now features Touch ID which I guess is good um also the the uh Mac

1100
01:19:08,120 --> 01:19:13,600
Mini got an update with the latest Intel CPUs with Intel Iris Graphics two

1101
01:19:12,159 --> 01:19:16,960
Thunderbolt two ports PCI Express storage and AC Wireless oh yeah the

1102
01:19:15,400 --> 01:19:20,520
wireless on the new iPad is apparently faster too so I guess that's cool so the

1103
01:19:19,040 --> 01:19:25,000
one the one thing about this whole Apple event that is kind of irritating me is

1104
01:19:23,120 --> 01:19:29,239
since since the new version of the operating system is called Yos I feel

1105
01:19:27,520 --> 01:19:33,760
like they've been co-opting images of Yos and using them for Apple branding

1106
01:19:31,159 --> 01:19:39,120
and it pisses me off Mother Nature is going to sue apple

1107
01:19:37,199 --> 01:19:42,920
as the ultimate irony who's going to go and be like no half doome is a

1108
01:19:40,400 --> 01:19:48,600
registered trademark of Yos and and apple and apparently now also an apple

1109
01:19:46,719 --> 01:19:52,239
like I don't want I don't want half doome to be used to sell Apple products

1110
01:19:50,239 --> 01:19:55,960
apple is reportedly suing mother nature for the usage of half doome it's it's

1111
01:19:55,000 --> 01:20:00,480
marketing branded okay sorry okay sorry oh yeah I

1112
01:19:58,679 --> 01:20:07,080
guess I didn't really talk about um the new OS 10 at all I guess I just don't

1113
01:20:03,239 --> 01:20:09,120
care heyo

1114
01:20:07,080 --> 01:20:12,320
cheers well it's not it's not that I don't care because it's bad I just don't

1115
01:20:10,760 --> 01:20:16,600
care because I didn't use the old one so all these new amazing differences mean

1116
01:20:14,080 --> 01:20:19,239
nothing to me because I don't have any frustrations with the old one or

1117
01:20:18,000 --> 01:20:24,120
anything that I like about the old one it just is what it is speaking of things

1118
01:20:21,639 --> 01:20:28,320
that are what they are augmented reality might not be necessarily what we thought

1119
01:20:26,120 --> 01:20:32,480
it was going to be I mean I think that Google Glass looked very augmented

1120
01:20:30,920 --> 01:20:38,080
reality from the beginning like we were kind of thinking we were going to be wearing glasses or goggles or whatever

1121
01:20:35,800 --> 01:20:43,719
else but there's this is a rumor right now but Google and Others May invest

1122
01:20:40,239 --> 01:20:46,440
five Milli $500 million into augmented

1123
01:20:43,719 --> 01:20:50,920
reality company magic leap who isn't going to be putting a lens in front of

1124
01:20:48,080 --> 01:20:57,840
your eyes but rather is planning to basically beam the image into your eyes

1125
01:20:55,000 --> 01:21:03,040
allegedly solving the need for higher resolution in that Solutions like Oculus

1126
01:21:00,960 --> 01:21:06,840
Rift with the with a headset are going to have so the vision would be to have

1127
01:21:05,239 --> 01:21:11,960
the product display an image into the eye so that instead of having to pull

1128
01:21:08,400 --> 01:21:15,120
out a phone you would just see things in

1129
01:21:11,960 --> 01:21:16,920
the world around you that I mean it's

1130
01:21:15,120 --> 01:21:21,800
funny they're calling it cinematic reality because they think augmented

1131
01:21:18,840 --> 01:21:25,280
reality is a bit of a an undersells the technology a little bit because of how

1132
01:21:23,159 --> 01:21:30,320
realistic it is but I mean this is what it is here's an

1133
01:21:27,760 --> 01:21:34,239
elephant an augmented reality elephant in the hand of someone you can call it

1134
01:21:32,080 --> 01:21:40,239
whatever you want but it's still augmented reality uh looks incredibly

1135
01:21:37,639 --> 01:21:43,920
cool and gaming with a technology like this where you don't even have to wear a

1136
01:21:41,800 --> 01:21:47,960
headset and you just see stuff that isn't

1137
01:21:45,560 --> 01:21:53,840
there wow so I'm I'm getting this image in my

1138
01:21:51,440 --> 01:21:56,840
head of like kind of like in The Matrix you know when he wakes up and there's

1139
01:21:55,159 --> 01:22:00,679
just the rows and rows of people you know they're all all in their little

1140
01:21:58,159 --> 01:22:03,840
pods like something like that with all these people and and these little

1141
01:22:02,159 --> 01:22:07,440
devices in front of them just beaming images like directly into their brain

1142
01:22:05,840 --> 01:22:12,400
but but really what this has inspired me to do is developed my own device kind of

1143
01:22:10,199 --> 01:22:16,560
based on this same technology which is going to be a food delivery system that

1144
01:22:14,040 --> 01:22:20,320
puts a tube down your throat and just puts the food directly into your stomach

1145
01:22:19,080 --> 01:22:25,080
that way you don't have to worry about the whole chewing and swallowing thing I

1146
01:22:23,120 --> 01:22:31,280
you could partner with um partner with the guys that make soilent exactly yeah

1147
01:22:28,400 --> 01:22:35,040
Luke's been has is Luke like does Luke look paler or anything like that or is

1148
01:22:33,040 --> 01:22:39,719
he like becoming more and more stronger than he has ever been since he seems he

1149
01:22:37,400 --> 01:22:44,520
seems all right he's not entirely on soilent though he does he does eat it

1150
01:22:42,159 --> 01:22:49,560
for you know most of his nutritional stuff but he still eats um but mostly

1151
01:22:47,120 --> 01:22:53,199
just because eating is kind of nice and things taste good and soilent doesn't

1152
01:22:51,120 --> 01:23:00,960
taste that great I'm glad you've been feeding him yeah well I don't feed him

1153
01:22:56,040 --> 01:23:00,960
he has to feed himself oh okay I just

1154
01:23:01,440 --> 01:23:08,520
watch because it's so it's liquid right so the there's just these visuals I have

1155
01:23:05,960 --> 01:23:11,400
of lonus feeding Luke with like a big baby bottle or

1156
01:23:11,440 --> 01:23:19,760
something right that could be a t-shirt that's worst image that's ever been in

1157
01:23:17,120 --> 01:23:25,880
anyone's head during this show happy to have brought it to all of your

1158
01:23:21,840 --> 01:23:28,760
fans thank you that's what I'm here for

1159
01:23:25,880 --> 01:23:34,159
you guys will never be on my show again get up all right so um Skype kick I

1160
01:23:33,000 --> 01:23:42,199
guess would be how we pronounced this Qik this was originally posted by good bites on the Forum the article is from

1161
01:23:37,719 --> 01:23:46,080
the verge.com and this is supposed to be

1162
01:23:42,199 --> 01:23:48,840
a an attempt to take over mobile video

1163
01:23:46,080 --> 01:23:54,080
messaging so it this actually started out as just a video consumption platform

1164
01:23:52,280 --> 01:23:56,800
but oh I just realized I'm not actually screen sharing with you guys so there

1165
01:23:55,360 --> 01:24:03,159
you go they they're showing it running on Windows phone as if that matters iOS

1166
01:23:59,600 --> 01:24:06,560
and Android unless that HTC1 M8 is a

1167
01:24:03,159 --> 01:24:07,840
Windows phone version of the HTC 1 M8

1168
01:24:06,560 --> 01:24:13,360
which it probably isn't because I don't think anyone ever actually bought one of those um although I'd love to be proven

1169
01:24:11,679 --> 01:24:19,159
wrong you know it's amazing how many people are hating on me for my

1170
01:24:15,760 --> 01:24:22,000
negativity about the Windows Phone HTC1

1171
01:24:19,159 --> 01:24:26,560
M8 in my review and yet I have never seen one I've never heard any report of

1172
01:24:24,560 --> 01:24:31,880
anyone owning it ever and people misinterpreted a lot of what I said I

1173
01:24:28,679 --> 01:24:34,719
didn't say Windows 8 phone is a platform

1174
01:24:31,880 --> 01:24:40,600
for nobody what I said was this is a device for nobody a high-end truly

1175
01:24:37,880 --> 01:24:44,920
high-end Premium cost device that run runs Windows phone because the people

1176
01:24:42,679 --> 01:24:49,440
who buy high-end devices are going to have needs for their mobile devices that

1177
01:24:47,080 --> 01:24:54,199
go beyond what Windows phone can do because the app ecosystem is so immature

1178
01:24:52,280 --> 01:24:57,719
speaking of which I'm still super upset that the NFC chip in here only does

1179
01:24:55,880 --> 01:25:00,760
Apple pay and doesn't do other stuff anyway it started as a video streaming

1180
01:24:59,080 --> 01:25:04,400
service was available on mobile devices before YouTube so this is kind of an old

1181
01:25:02,960 --> 01:25:08,239
platform it's all done through your mobile phone number no account sign up

1182
01:25:06,040 --> 01:25:11,480
is necessary it's been being pitched as an alternative to text messaging and can

1183
01:25:10,080 --> 01:25:16,520
easily switch between the front and rear cameras while recording there's no

1184
01:25:13,280 --> 01:25:18,360
preview or processing and it has a 42c

1185
01:25:16,520 --> 01:25:21,880
max recording you can send to one person or a group and if your friend doesn't

1186
01:25:19,760 --> 01:25:28,560
have kick They will receive an SMS with instructions on how to download it it so

1187
01:25:25,840 --> 01:25:32,840
you can pre-record up to 12 messages for use when you're in a rush so just

1188
01:25:30,280 --> 01:25:36,840
pre-recorded like hey I can't talk right now I don't know why people would want

1189
01:25:34,560 --> 01:25:39,960
that instead of an SMS but sure whatever and the messages disappear after two

1190
01:25:38,199 --> 01:25:43,639
weeks if they aren't deleted like practically speaking to me

1191
01:25:42,360 --> 01:25:47,880
this this seems like something that might be a competitor for like Vine or

1192
01:25:45,639 --> 01:25:51,880
something like that but like no because it's messaging not broadcast it's more

1193
01:25:49,880 --> 01:25:56,719
like like like Snapchat it's more like a competitor to Snapchat except can have

1194
01:25:54,800 --> 01:25:59,560
videos of penises instead of pictures of them like is that what we're doing you

1195
01:25:57,840 --> 01:26:03,040
can do video with Snapchat too that was a benefit that I hadn't considered but I

1196
01:26:01,239 --> 01:26:06,400
mean beautiful the beautiful thing about a text message is when I get a text

1197
01:26:04,639 --> 01:26:10,400
message I can glance at my phone without unlocking without doing anything and it

1198
01:26:07,920 --> 01:26:15,000
can appear on one or two lines and I can immediately know what was said and it's

1199
01:26:12,560 --> 01:26:18,360
faster than watching a short video of somebody being like hey man I'll call

1200
01:26:16,440 --> 01:26:21,480
you later or something like that like well that's a stupid reason to to send a

1201
01:26:20,119 --> 01:26:27,280
video to someone just to tell them that you'll call them later but pred like

1202
01:26:24,679 --> 01:26:30,760
messages like hey I'm in class right now like that's the kind of thing people use

1203
01:26:28,520 --> 01:26:34,280
that stuff for so but the pre-recorded stuff is useless it's all garbage it's

1204
01:26:32,600 --> 01:26:38,280
short message service it's supposed to be like a quick communication a quick

1205
01:26:36,040 --> 01:26:42,119
interaction with someone and this feels this feels like a step backwards this

1206
01:26:39,920 --> 01:26:46,000
feels like video voicemail all right exactly one one

1207
01:26:44,480 --> 01:26:48,679
application I could see this in is like let's say you're in a in a place that

1208
01:26:47,480 --> 01:26:52,119
you've never been before and you're meeting someone there for the first time

1209
01:26:50,719 --> 01:26:57,719
you could send them a message and say hey I'm here waiting for you

1210
01:26:55,119 --> 01:27:01,320
picture of you yeah but the picture is is only goes so far if you're in a

1211
01:26:59,679 --> 01:27:05,000
location they need to see visually where you are 360 degree view you can actually

1212
01:27:03,280 --> 01:27:07,840
give them a panoramic shot of where you are meet me in this location so they can

1213
01:27:06,440 --> 01:27:11,960
recognize it when they walk up to the place so you could send them a panoramic

1214
01:27:09,679 --> 01:27:19,480
picture so you can send them a panoramic picture or video you could send them

1215
01:27:14,639 --> 01:27:21,639
three pictures fail Kyle fail no put a

1216
01:27:19,480 --> 01:27:25,639
filter on it l Kyle's put a filter on Kyle has already invested in quick I

1217
01:27:23,400 --> 01:27:31,040
think which is why he's really uh I am the first investor in quick is it quick

1218
01:27:27,800 --> 01:27:33,880
or kick I don't care if it's a q I feel

1219
01:27:31,040 --> 01:27:39,960
like it should be but there's no U no you're right it's okay the U is not

1220
01:27:37,239 --> 01:27:45,119
silent cuz it's not there it's not proper like use of Q anyway this is cool

1221
01:27:42,960 --> 01:27:50,920
this was posted by ra r bullon on the Forum and it's the Carl iiss VR1 so we

1222
01:27:48,600 --> 01:27:55,239
know about Samsung's VR headset for the note and we know about uh Google

1223
01:27:53,440 --> 01:27:59,000
cardboard which is obviously not going to be the greatest solution ever because

1224
01:27:57,040 --> 01:28:02,880
it's like going to fall apart and stuff but this is the VR1 which is a more

1225
01:28:00,719 --> 01:28:08,280
flexible one so you basically just buy like a like a tray so here's what one of

1226
01:28:06,159 --> 01:28:11,880
the really I can't Mouse over this without this stupid thing well whatever

1227
01:28:10,480 --> 01:28:15,639
so you guys will have to Envision my mouse over there so you buy a tray that

1228
01:28:13,560 --> 01:28:22,560
your phone slips into anything from 4.7 to 5.2 in and then you can use your

1229
01:28:18,440 --> 01:28:25,159
phone as a as VR so that's cool I guess

1230
01:28:22,560 --> 01:28:31,360
moving right along uh PewDiePie may be starting his own YouTube Network so this

1231
01:28:27,280 --> 01:28:33,600
was an interview with um pulse 2.com and

1232
01:28:31,360 --> 01:28:37,040
then he was also on the cover of Icon magazine. this was posted by Tech

1233
01:28:35,360 --> 01:28:42,679
dreamer on the Forum and actually generated a lot of discussion um he

1234
01:28:39,880 --> 01:28:46,920
makes an estimated 4 million per year in ad sales so that's gross um and that was

1235
01:28:45,239 --> 01:28:49,960
last year I'm can assure you it's a lot more this year plans to leave Maker

1236
01:28:48,520 --> 01:28:53,719
Studios in December to create his own network thinks other networks have been

1237
01:28:51,880 --> 01:28:58,560
managed in such an incredibly poor way that it silly and would like to help

1238
01:28:55,920 --> 01:29:04,119
other YouTubers and say what you want about pewes you know how you might like

1239
01:29:01,320 --> 01:29:08,119
or dislike his content or whatever the guy's smart and uh maybe I should join

1240
01:29:07,199 --> 01:29:12,960
his Network how how do you know he's smart

1241
01:29:10,840 --> 01:29:18,520
how do you know he's not just incredibly lucky and remotely attractive for a

1242
01:29:16,119 --> 01:29:25,639
YouTube personality anyone anyone at the top of any field is smart guarantee

1243
01:29:21,400 --> 01:29:27,159
it I I I don't know oom had some some

1244
01:29:25,639 --> 01:29:34,199
Fame there for octom oom yeah but that's not the

1245
01:29:31,560 --> 01:29:40,639
top of a field that's a 15 minutes of fame I'm talking someone who her own in

1246
01:29:36,560 --> 01:29:42,960
a sustained repeated manner beat

1247
01:29:40,639 --> 01:29:46,320
everyone else who competes at something I've seen some actors who who wouldn't

1248
01:29:45,040 --> 01:29:52,159
line up with that but what does PewDiePie do that no one else can do I

1249
01:29:48,920 --> 01:29:54,600
mean hold on a second okay remember some

1250
01:29:52,159 --> 01:29:59,280
actors that are dumb sure but but I said at the top of a field PewDiePie is the

1251
01:29:57,040 --> 01:30:03,719
number one YouTuber Point me at the number one of anything where the

1252
01:30:01,119 --> 01:30:07,960
person's an idiot you can't do it are you still on a network or at this point

1253
01:30:05,840 --> 01:30:13,360
lanis uh yeah I'm I'm with twitch right now but I'm actually probably switching

1254
01:30:10,280 --> 01:30:14,639
on YouTube on Twitch TV I'm still going

1255
01:30:13,360 --> 01:30:21,119
to stay partnered with twitch I'm still going to do all my streaming on Twitch but on YouTube I'll potentially be

1256
01:30:17,800 --> 01:30:23,800
moving over to um wow I feel bad for not

1257
01:30:21,119 --> 01:30:26,679
remembering Maker Studios oh okay isn't that isn't that where PewDiePie

1258
01:30:25,239 --> 01:30:32,000
PewDiePie is leaving PewDiePie is leaving that no I think that might be why I have Maker Studios in my head I'm

1259
01:30:30,040 --> 01:30:35,360
going to have to look it up now when's the lonus network coming and when can I

1260
01:30:33,679 --> 01:30:39,760
join and do you feel like you have some big shoes to feel and sure yes I'll join

1261
01:30:37,199 --> 01:30:44,080
your network replacing PewDiePie on studos

1262
01:30:40,960 --> 01:30:46,080
network sorry I feel I feel bad full

1263
01:30:44,080 --> 01:30:49,719
screen full screen sorry not maker I've talked to every Network at some point

1264
01:30:48,040 --> 01:30:55,920
iny we're on full screen full screen yeah full screen's awesome yeah yeah so

1265
01:30:51,600 --> 01:30:55,920
I um so I might be joining full screen

1266
01:30:56,800 --> 01:31:03,199
okay I I I like full screen I don't have a problem with

1267
01:31:00,320 --> 01:31:07,119
them all right so let's go ahead and uh see if we've got any more oh yeah

1268
01:31:04,679 --> 01:31:10,159
Netflix raises the price for 4K video streaming this was posted by Tech

1269
01:31:08,320 --> 01:31:14,360
dreamer on the Forum and this is actually the second price hike we've

1270
01:31:12,000 --> 01:31:19,520
seen from net Netflix in like what a year so and that was after for a long

1271
01:31:17,199 --> 01:31:22,520
time the pricing being very very stable so if you signed up for a 4K enabled

1272
01:31:21,239 --> 01:31:26,600
account already you get to keep your current subscription price until August

1273
01:31:24,440 --> 01:31:31,880
12th 2016 but for new subscribers the monthly price for 4K will be 12 bucks so

1274
01:31:29,320 --> 01:31:36,920
you can enjoy 4K content like Breaking Bad House of Cards and the Smurfs on

1275
01:31:34,440 --> 01:31:42,239
your 4K TV that you also probably don't own yet um although 4K doesn't work on

1276
01:31:40,080 --> 01:31:47,400
all TVs you need to have a supported TV so once again early adopters for any new

1277
01:31:44,639 --> 01:31:51,960
video standard get the old kick in the teeth way to go you spent way too much

1278
01:31:49,960 --> 01:31:55,000
on something that not only didn't work when you bought it but isn't even going

1279
01:31:53,320 --> 01:32:01,239
to work at the time that it was supposed to work that's why you go with an htpc

1280
01:31:57,119 --> 01:32:02,639
it's pretty normal but uh yeah this was

1281
01:32:01,239 --> 01:32:06,639
one of those stories where I was like okay I mean I think the people right now

1282
01:32:04,719 --> 01:32:11,360
who have the capability to watch Netflix in 4k aren't really probably going to be

1283
01:32:09,199 --> 01:32:15,560
too pissed off by three extra dollars a month um I would hope that once it

1284
01:32:14,320 --> 01:32:20,639
becomes a little bit more mainstream maybe they'll do like a discount plan or something knock it down to 10 I'll sign

1285
01:32:19,119 --> 01:32:27,000
up for 10 all right so uh next up we've got the

1286
01:32:23,960 --> 01:32:28,960
happening snapsaved images leaked so 500

1287
01:32:27,000 --> 01:32:33,920
Megs of images were leaked according to snapsaved snapav.com is a website that

1288
01:32:31,440 --> 01:32:37,320
allows users to save Snapchat messages and it was compromised their database

1289
01:32:35,800 --> 01:32:40,960
was immediately deleted when the hack was discovered but there are concerns

1290
01:32:39,239 --> 01:32:44,840
that many of the leaked images could be classified as child

1291
01:32:43,000 --> 01:32:48,960
porn so

1292
01:32:48,960 --> 01:32:53,440
yeah that's a that's a messy situation I

1293
01:32:52,280 --> 01:32:57,480
guess that's all there is to really say about that although one Pirate Bay user

1294
01:32:55,880 --> 01:33:01,080
complained that so far from what I've seen the vast majority are just black

1295
01:32:59,520 --> 01:33:05,159
screens with text overlaid or just a normal selfie that would be my initial

1296
01:33:03,880 --> 01:33:10,520
response to be like man the pictures aren't even that good Nexus player is

1297
01:33:08,040 --> 01:33:14,320
coming so this was posted by laws on the Forum the original source is Google's

1298
01:33:12,360 --> 01:33:21,199
own page about it so let's go check that thing out oo Nexus player so um you know

1299
01:33:18,159 --> 01:33:23,440
OU yeah good idea but probably ahead of

1300
01:33:21,199 --> 01:33:28,800
your time a little bit there and the pag is lo a bit slowly so sorry about that

1301
01:33:26,119 --> 01:33:32,199
but at any rate the Nexus player is coming it's going to come with a remote

1302
01:33:30,360 --> 01:33:37,199
and a controller the remote has voice search comes with apps such as Netflix

1303
01:33:34,199 --> 01:33:38,600
and Ted there's a full list uh on the on

1304
01:33:37,199 --> 01:33:45,239
the Google page for it that I would love to show you except that it's not loading right now and it has free online

1305
01:33:41,880 --> 01:33:47,960
multiplayer from Google Play games so

1306
01:33:45,239 --> 01:33:52,480
the thing that all consoles should always have forever because it's just

1307
01:33:50,840 --> 01:33:55,119
baffling to me that you have to pay to subscribe to a multiplayer server when

1308
01:33:54,000 --> 01:34:00,800
you already bought the game and you already have your internet connection um

1309
01:33:58,400 --> 01:34:06,880
it's got a 1.8 GHz quad core Intel Atom Processor 802.11 AC 2x2 mimo so that's a

1310
01:34:04,560 --> 01:34:12,520
pretty good Wireless solution HDMI out and it'll cost $100 and the controller

1311
01:34:08,679 --> 01:34:13,800
will cost 40 bucks and um one thing

1312
01:34:12,520 --> 01:34:21,560
though that's missing and it better have a good Wireless solution because it does not have a wired network connection

1313
01:34:17,639 --> 01:34:23,440
that's a bit of a killer for me oh damn

1314
01:34:21,560 --> 01:34:27,280
yeah I I I personally have to pee I'll be right back thank you thank you thank

1315
01:34:25,760 --> 01:34:30,840
you Kyle we should end the show while he's gone so that I don't have to talk

1316
01:34:29,199 --> 01:34:34,440
about where people can go watch Kyle make videos that's all right yeah we'll

1317
01:34:32,560 --> 01:34:38,440
leave we'll leave his plugs out of it so so this is like I don't know this is

1318
01:34:36,639 --> 01:34:42,040
like the upgrade to the chomecast I guess it's it's Android based it's it's

1319
01:34:40,480 --> 01:34:46,840
got a better processor and you can actually play games on it and it's only

1320
01:34:44,000 --> 01:34:51,119
100 bucks yeah it looks that way how many Android so you do you you've been

1321
01:34:49,119 --> 01:34:57,280
using your shield and everything to play games like you know uh like do you

1322
01:34:54,280 --> 01:35:00,639
actually play any Android platform games

1323
01:34:57,280 --> 01:35:02,719
or no they're all rubbish yeah so I

1324
01:35:00,639 --> 01:35:08,639
guess that would be my issue would be sure you can play Android games but I

1325
01:35:04,920 --> 01:35:10,639
don't play any Android games so the draw

1326
01:35:08,639 --> 01:35:14,960
really isn't there for me but I mean I don't know for $100 this is a tough sell

1327
01:35:13,000 --> 01:35:18,880
for me I'd rather spend I think shield shield portable is down to what 200

1328
01:35:16,520 --> 01:35:22,880
bucks now yeah yeah I'd rather have one of those and run it in console mode for

1329
01:35:20,600 --> 01:35:26,800
sure you'd have a lot more flexibility with the what you could play on it

1330
01:35:24,239 --> 01:35:33,600
that's that's for damn sure yep so original article here is from New York

1331
01:35:28,560 --> 01:35:36,000
Times and that is that uh HBO is to

1332
01:35:33,600 --> 01:35:42,600
start their own Standalone streaming service come

1333
01:35:37,960 --> 01:35:44,320
2015 which is um I I guess pretty cool

1334
01:35:42,600 --> 01:35:49,719
uh actually very cool because now you won't have to have a cable subscription

1335
01:35:46,400 --> 01:35:51,400
in order to get access to HBO

1336
01:35:49,719 --> 01:35:56,199
programming um so this intensifies their growing

1337
01:35:53,880 --> 01:36:01,080
rivalry with Netflix hpo is trying to cater to the new generation that doesn't

1338
01:35:58,400 --> 01:36:04,880
have any interest in cable subscriptions I have only had one when my cable

1339
01:36:03,119 --> 01:36:09,360
provider offered it to me for free I watched hockey games that was it 10

1340
01:36:07,199 --> 01:36:13,360
million homes in the US have no cable or satellite subscription but do have

1341
01:36:10,840 --> 01:36:18,880
internet half of those are subscribed to a streaming surface uh surface service

1342
01:36:16,639 --> 01:36:23,239
so uh CEO of HBO says it's time to remove all barriers to those who want

1343
01:36:20,480 --> 01:36:27,560
HBO Allin there are 80 million homes in the US that do not have HBO and we will

1344
01:36:25,320 --> 01:36:32,880
use all means at our disposal to go after them so there you go so there's

1345
01:36:30,639 --> 01:36:37,320
there's that popular web comic I think it was from the oatmeal where somebody

1346
01:36:35,080 --> 01:36:42,080
was like I want to watch games Game of Thrones but I want to do it legit stop

1347
01:36:39,239 --> 01:36:45,239
cracking here sorry but I want to do it legitimately and then this the whole

1348
01:36:44,000 --> 01:36:51,400
comic was about them trying to legitimately watch Game of Thrones and then eventually giving up and and and

1349
01:36:48,760 --> 01:36:54,639
pirating it this is my only my only issue here that this is going to make

1350
01:36:52,760 --> 01:36:59,199
that argument lot more difficult anyone who Pirates Game of Thrones regularly

1351
01:36:57,000 --> 01:37:03,880
now no excuse they they they have much less of an excuse and that's really but

1352
01:37:01,800 --> 01:37:09,199
but no this this uh to me signals the beginning of the end of of cable TV and

1353
01:37:06,600 --> 01:37:13,080
the world yeah I I don't understand why it still needs to exist Kyle used a

1354
01:37:11,119 --> 01:37:16,520
little bit more hyperbole there but just just a bit of embellishment I guess all

1355
01:37:15,080 --> 01:37:19,679
right we've got a few more rapid fire topics but I got to go through these

1356
01:37:18,159 --> 01:37:24,239
incredibly quickly because we've completely run out of time Amazon to

1357
01:37:21,760 --> 01:37:29,880
open a physical store in New York it could act as a way to highlight products

1358
01:37:25,880 --> 01:37:31,600
like Fire TV um this is a breakthrough

1359
01:37:29,880 --> 01:37:36,159
it's a revolutionary uh thing that Amazon has done here yeah opening a

1360
01:37:33,520 --> 01:37:39,320
store maybe New Egg will follow suit and then maybe ncx will open a retail oh

1361
01:37:38,040 --> 01:37:44,880
wait no they've already got them okay they have them they they're called the hybrid Center we're like the hipsters of

1362
01:37:42,280 --> 01:37:51,400
the tech industry yeah all right Corsair RGB keyboards allegedly only producing

1363
01:37:47,760 --> 01:37:54,280
512 colors it is advertised as

1364
01:37:51,400 --> 01:37:58,840
supporting 8 bit color giving 16.8 million total color combinations however

1365
01:37:56,719 --> 01:38:05,040
has been found to support only three bit color giving 512 combinations um to

1366
01:38:03,000 --> 01:38:10,880
people who are sort of blown away by this all I really have to say

1367
01:38:07,320 --> 01:38:12,639
is Corsair is doing what they had to do

1368
01:38:10,880 --> 01:38:18,000
here I think I I don't think it's right I don't think it's right for anyone to

1369
01:38:14,320 --> 01:38:21,159
advertise 16.8 million RGB Lighting in a

1370
01:38:18,000 --> 01:38:24,239
product when it's obviously not actually

1371
01:38:21,159 --> 01:38:27,280
16.8 million color combinations but like

1372
01:38:24,239 --> 01:38:29,800
let's take H the cable's trapped under

1373
01:38:27,280 --> 01:38:34,040
something here let's take this mouse for example this is a Logitech mouse

1374
01:38:31,639 --> 01:38:37,719
Logitech is a big company a good company good

1375
01:38:35,280 --> 01:38:42,920
people that LED lighting is advertised at 16.8 million there's no way there's

1376
01:38:40,719 --> 01:38:46,480
no way in hell that it produces 16.8 million colors if you guys have ever had

1377
01:38:44,159 --> 01:38:50,400
an RGB product drag the color wheel around you know take two yellows that

1378
01:38:48,599 --> 01:38:54,040
are similar and see if you can actually see the difference in the LED there is

1379
01:38:51,880 --> 01:39:00,320
no difference because it does doesn't actually do it it's never actually done

1380
01:38:56,840 --> 01:39:02,639
it and if anything Corsair's transitions

1381
01:39:00,320 --> 01:39:07,040
much more smoothly in my experience than the Black Widow ultimate chroma anyway

1382
01:39:05,480 --> 01:39:12,480
and a lot more smoothly than a lot of other RGB products I've seen so I really

1383
01:39:09,040 --> 01:39:14,840
wonder how many colors most RGB products

1384
01:39:12,480 --> 01:39:21,480
out there actually support like I said still wrong shame on you Corsair

1385
01:39:18,760 --> 01:39:25,360
but there you go according to the Forum users the issue is that is either the

1386
01:39:23,440 --> 01:39:28,960
they are constrained to the USB protocol that only supports three bits per

1387
01:39:26,520 --> 01:39:33,480
Channel or because the three Panasonic a32 1881 LED Matrix ic's they use to

1388
01:39:31,760 --> 01:39:37,719
control the keyboard are only able to give individual LEDs three bits of

1389
01:39:35,000 --> 01:39:41,639
control per channel so there you go I don't think there's been an official

1390
01:39:38,880 --> 01:39:46,440
statement from Corsair but um yeah future Mark launches the world's

1391
01:39:44,440 --> 01:39:50,239
first 4K Benchmark this was posted by Tech Fanboy on the Forum and it's the

1392
01:39:47,960 --> 01:39:54,119
source is from kit guru.net fir strike Ultra renders the fire strike Benchmark

1393
01:39:52,000 --> 01:39:58,159
in 4k you need at least 3 G vram to run the Benchmark and the leaderboards are

1394
01:39:55,960 --> 01:40:01,080
live there's a JBL special edition of the OnePlus One and earphones but I

1395
01:39:59,800 --> 01:40:09,159
don't really like talking about OnePlus One cuz I think that they're one plus

1396
01:40:05,560 --> 01:40:12,360
one um it is what it is 1 plus

1397
01:40:09,159 --> 01:40:13,520
two that equals two it's the answer to

1398
01:40:12,360 --> 01:40:18,520
the equation Apple patents flexible device

1399
01:40:16,239 --> 01:40:23,280
display input method so the device would react to bending using that as an input

1400
01:40:20,400 --> 01:40:28,480
method very cool and assus stck mechan mechanical keyboards with blue black

1401
01:40:25,080 --> 01:40:30,159
brown and red key switches are either

1402
01:40:28,480 --> 01:40:33,040
available now or coming soon I actually haven't seen if they're on sale yet this

1403
01:40:31,599 --> 01:40:37,400
was posted by quas oh yeah and the Apple patent thing

1404
01:40:35,480 --> 01:40:42,440
was from Tech dreamer uh this was posted by ques on the Forum and this is the

1405
01:40:40,000 --> 01:40:47,719
stricks tactic Pro there we

1406
01:40:44,480 --> 01:40:49,080
go really how how is ASUS and Corsair

1407
01:40:47,719 --> 01:40:54,280
are going to be buddy buddy now that ASUS has like mice and keyboards and

1408
01:40:51,599 --> 01:40:59,119
headsets and headsets and I think they had cases at one point

1409
01:40:56,320 --> 01:41:03,159
didn't they uh they have like I know they have like server cases they sell

1410
01:41:00,920 --> 01:41:07,560
like you know kind of barebone server systems and stuff I'm not sure if they

1411
01:41:05,000 --> 01:41:12,520
have like mainstream consumer gamer cases or anything like that but I on

1412
01:41:09,920 --> 01:41:16,639
this would be surprised if they did well at any rate it's a gaming keyboard it's

1413
01:41:14,840 --> 01:41:19,400
mechanical it's got some macro keys on the left pricing looks reasonable it's

1414
01:41:18,360 --> 01:41:23,480
got n key rollover and uh it's got three more

1415
01:41:21,840 --> 01:41:27,000
macro keys under the space bar a position that I personally really really

1416
01:41:25,480 --> 01:41:31,000
like for them because whenever you're not jumping you might as well be

1417
01:41:28,760 --> 01:41:36,440
macroing something and more maybe more than one thing and I think that's pretty

1418
01:41:32,920 --> 01:41:38,639
much it for my topic so I guess the the

1419
01:41:36,440 --> 01:41:41,960
the rest here is you know what actually maybe do you mind do you guys mind if we

1420
01:41:40,080 --> 01:41:45,280
