WEBVTT 00:00:01.800 --> 00:00:08.599 you know the funny thing about the W show today is that we were supposed to 00:00:05.440 --> 00:00:12.360 start on time in fact I've been in here 00:00:08.599 --> 00:00:16.039 for over an hour doing my test call with 00:00:12.360 --> 00:00:17.359 our special guest today doing my uh what 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 00:00:21.199 --> 00:00:27.320 know it's funny because it feels like 00:00:24.199 --> 00:00:30.439 sometimes the more ahead of schedule you 00:00:27.320 --> 00:00:33.920 are the more time you'll waste thinking 00:00:30.439 --> 00:00:36.879 ah it's okay I got lots of time no big 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 00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:45.640 record the the intro where I intro the 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 00:00:47.680 --> 00:00:56.079 that your special guest Paul from Paul's Hardware formerly New Egg TV is actually 00:00:53.480 --> 00:01:01.960 using the microphone that he's actually going to use for the uh the the guest 00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:04.640 segment because right now we just have a 00:01:01.960 --> 00:01:11.799 super D duper silent guest over there who has two microphones one on his desk 00:01:08.479 --> 00:01:14.720 and one on his face and then actually 00:01:11.799 --> 00:01:18.759 another one on his table he has many microphones none of which appear to 00:01:16.600 --> 00:01:23.560 actually do anything for the moment so we're going to go through the super D 00:01:21.560 --> 00:01:30.079 duper special call out topics today first up is Apple's event the uh the 00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:32.439 so-called October 2014 event that 00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:36.960 happened yesterday and included all the most amazing unbelievable magical 00:01:34.880 --> 00:01:40.920 revolutionary technologies that you can possibly imagine so basically smaller 00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:46.960 thinner better battery life more powerful but basically the same stuff um 00:01:44.040 --> 00:01:52.920 then also Google announces the nexuses 6 and nine which are I'll let you guess 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 00:01:55.320 --> 00:02:01.920 just they're like this 00:01:58.840 --> 00:02:03.960 weird I whatever I lost the word the 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 00:02:05.920 --> 00:02:13.400 good and um one thing that's kind of missing particularly on the phone side 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 00:02:15.480 --> 00:02:23.879 buckess and that doesn't seem to be happening this time also in the news 00:02:19.200 --> 00:02:26.239 this week Ubisoft just keeps on digging 00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:30.560 don't they a redditor actually member of the PC Master R subreddit um had a 00:02:29.239 --> 00:02:38.400 present at his school and uh wow yeah a couple 00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:42.480 of Ubisoft representatives there said some stuff that is going to light the 00:02:40.040 --> 00:02:47.319 internet on fire yet again it's like Ubisoft wants to burn down the whole 00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:51.879 internet and that's the objective here um finally Netflix raises prices on 4K 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 00:02:53.879 --> 00:03:00.599 one that was amazing because we are going to have a lot to talk about this 00:02:57.599 --> 00:03:02.599 week regardless at least I'll talk and 00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:06.720 Paul will listen because I don't think he can talk yet Paul you got that 00:03:04.120 --> 00:03:06.720 working over 00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:10.959 there let's just roll the 00:03:28.760 --> 00:03:32.519 intro 00:03:32.519 --> 00:03:42.720 a yeah we got sponsors today guys we got Squarespace squarespace.com Linus 10% 00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:42.720 off with the offer code 00:03:43.439 --> 00:03:49.400 lonus also we got 54 Club back 00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:55.000 sponsoring this week's episode with a special offer one that actually looks 00:03:52.439 --> 00:03:58.760 pretty darn compelling last time around they were slipping cash into people's 00:03:57.200 --> 00:04:02.920 packages the kind of thing that's normally only accept able at certain 00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:07.760 establishments this time around they've got a whole other thing going on and 00:04:05.239 --> 00:04:14.680 I'll give you the details about that later on in the show so hopefully Paul 00:04:11.400 --> 00:04:17.199 is back with us Paul you good I muted 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 00:04:19.320 --> 00:04:24.919 right well let's open up the volume mixer and see if Paul is uh functioning 00:04:23.520 --> 00:04:30.639 over there does it can you hear me now I can 00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:35.639 hear you now wow it's amazing how changing the volume mixer works over 00:04:32.880 --> 00:04:39.639 there so um twitch chat please feel free let me know if Paul is an appropriate 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 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 00:04:46.919 --> 00:04:53.600 few weeks back after pretty unceremoniously after like what six 00:04:51.479 --> 00:04:56.680 minutes or something like that well I think I can understand from a viewer's 00:04:55.160 --> 00:05:00.560 perspective if it's affecting the quality of the stream you got to you got 00:04:59.080 --> 00:05:07.000 to you know sometimes you got to make some sacrifices yeah and I'm definitely going 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 00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:17.600 no problems so now we're going to have Windows Task Manager replacing Paul 00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:22.560 instead of instead of having Paul we'll just have the task manager showing off 00:05:19.240 --> 00:05:26.360 how our CPU usage is now in the 35 to 00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:29.360 60% range where last time we had Paul on 00:05:26.360 --> 00:05:32.520 his presence was so powerful that he 00:05:29.360 --> 00:05:34.720 over overloaded my system actually I've 00:05:32.520 --> 00:05:38.919 upgraded it now so well K Kyle was here too he might have affected that well 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 00:06:02.960 --> 00:06:11.800 originally posted on the Forum by Lord Kitty and the source is a uh a Reddit 00:06:08.400 --> 00:06:13.280 post in the PC Master Ray subreddit here 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 00:06:18.199 --> 00:06:22.720 crew to uh when we discuss these things 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 00:06:25.240 --> 00:06:30.199 was a presentation at a member of the PC 00:06:28.520 --> 00:06:34.800 Master race subreddit school where some Ubisoft folks came in 00:06:33.080 --> 00:06:39.000 in this case it was a game architect an online programmer and an HR 00:06:36.840 --> 00:06:45.160 representative and they gave this presentation and then there was some 00:06:40.479 --> 00:06:48.000 time for open Q&A and 00:06:45.160 --> 00:06:53.400 so this uh this redditor started to Source questions from the subreddit and 00:06:51.240 --> 00:06:58.759 started to ask some well you know some of those questions that we've all got 00:06:55.080 --> 00:07:00.919 like what's happening to 60fps and why 00:06:58.759 --> 00:07:05.639 exactly is this happening so when he asked about the industry moving away 00:07:03.199 --> 00:07:12.280 from 60 frames per second the game architect blamed settling for 30 FPS on 00:07:09.160 --> 00:07:15.319 limitations which is uh not in line with 00:07:12.280 --> 00:07:17.280 that whole cinematic line that we've 00:07:15.319 --> 00:07:23.560 been getting from you know PR Representatives is it Paul not not quite 00:07:20.440 --> 00:07:25.319 exactly but I I think the main my first 00:07:23.560 --> 00:07:30.840 takea away from this story is is it's fantastic that Reddit has like fingers 00:07:27.840 --> 00:07:32.560 or tendrils spread out so you know so 00:07:30.840 --> 00:07:35.120 much that anywhere there happens to be a discussion like this going on there's 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 00:07:39.360 --> 00:07:45.479 I think Reddit is a is a Force for good for the most 00:07:42.840 --> 00:07:49.800 part for the most depends which which subreddits you they're a force I would 00:07:47.280 --> 00:07:54.960 call them chaotic neutral but maybe leaning towards good definitely chaotic 00:07:52.840 --> 00:07:59.039 well we're getting off topic here but that depends on your view of mankind 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 00:08:01.960 --> 00:08:08.319 here I think is is that there should never be a limitation on software simply 00:08:06.360 --> 00:08:14.240 as a result of one company feeling that they can either make more money for it 00:08:10.960 --> 00:08:17.039 from it or or reduce a competing 00:08:14.240 --> 00:08:21.720 platform's ability to perform by comparison and and there's absolutely no 00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:25.000 reason for it people people do PC gaming because they know they can build a 00:08:22.960 --> 00:08:28.520 system and they can get performance that's in line with what you know the 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 00:08:32.760 --> 00:08:37.760 just so people can't argue that oh well 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 00:08:41.000 --> 00:08:48.000 just not right like fundamentally brings us to sort of the next thing the game 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 00:08:50.600 --> 00:08:56.480 other problem with Reddit sometimes is a redditor and and you know I love the 00:08:54.880 --> 00:09:01.640 anonymity of the internet as much as anyone so I have a LoveHate relationship 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 00:09:03.240 --> 00:09:09.240 presentation implied something well that's the interpretation of that 00:09:06.920 --> 00:09:13.200 particular person unless there were you know 50 people in the audience that all 00:09:11.560 --> 00:09:18.200 100% agree that that's exactly what happened but anyway this post says that 00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:25.480 they implied that they're being pressured by the console makers to limit 00:09:21.640 --> 00:09:28.360 games to 30fps and it was 00:09:25.480 --> 00:09:31.399 also when asked about Watchdogs the programmer mentioned that just before 00:09:29.720 --> 00:09:35.120 they release a game they have to send a copy to the console manufacturers who 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 00:09:38.839 --> 00:09:45.640 made why should console manufacturers have any say in what does or does not go 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 00:09:48.800 --> 00:09:54.920 that like they shouldn't have to Greenlight what people can do on a like 00:09:52.800 --> 00:09:58.600 does does Sony have to go and and approve what can go in the Microsoft 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 00:10:02.519 --> 00:10:10.680 one be an interesting conversation to like be a fly on thewall for 00:10:07.440 --> 00:10:12.760 probably so basically basically that's 00:10:10.680 --> 00:10:15.880 it and then the redditor also posted that at the end of this whole 00:10:13.920 --> 00:10:20.399 conversation about the you know the negative response to locking Assassin's 00:10:17.640 --> 00:10:25.320 Creed Unity to 30fps um you know he commented on the console 00:10:23.480 --> 00:10:31.680 limitations the choice between graphical Fidelity and smoothness um and also said 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 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 00:10:39.120 --> 00:10:46.240 civil war over there right now between the people internally who feel like they 00:10:44.320 --> 00:10:50.839 should be building the best thing that they can and the people internally 00:10:48.480 --> 00:10:55.600 probably more along the Bean Counter lines um who feel they should do 00:10:53.200 --> 00:11:00.240 whatever is going to make them the best most amount of money whether that is 00:10:57.760 --> 00:11:04.880 through a partnership with a cons maker or whether that is through selling more 00:11:02.720 --> 00:11:09.440 copies of the console version and making sure that the console buyer is appeased 00:11:07.720 --> 00:11:12.760 because that's an angle that I think a lot of people aren't considering 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 00:11:14.399 --> 00:11:19.880 Microsoft to limit the PC version and we 00:11:17.760 --> 00:11:24.480 saw that with Watchdogs Ubisoft can deny it all we want all they want but pretty 00:11:22.040 --> 00:11:30.800 much we know that's what happened but something that they're probably not 00:11:25.959 --> 00:11:34.000 considering is that console maker aside 00:11:30.800 --> 00:11:36.519 the console gamer is not going to want 00:11:34.000 --> 00:11:40.000 to see like when there's when there are subtle differences and image quality you 00:11:38.680 --> 00:11:45.480 know how the console PC you know flame War comment 00:11:43.920 --> 00:11:49.600 thing that happens anytime any of this crap comes up the console gamers are 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 00:11:51.959 --> 00:11:58.360 that different how would they feel about their purchase how would they feel about 00:11:56.320 --> 00:12:02.399 buying more games for that console because not every console player is 00:11:59.839 --> 00:12:06.920 going to instantly turn into a PC Gamer if they feel disenfranchised about 00:12:04.680 --> 00:12:10.880 console gaming well it definitely makes the PC gaming argument a lot more 00:12:08.839 --> 00:12:14.720 compelling if that's the case but I mean the other thing about this this most 00:12:12.720 --> 00:12:20.160 recent generation of consoles that came out is they are not nearly as 00:12:18.199 --> 00:12:26.199 overpowered compared to like PlayStation 2 and Xbox 360 when they came out so 00:12:22.959 --> 00:12:28.639 that also to me says that whereas 00:12:26.199 --> 00:12:33.279 earlier versions of the consoles they took a pretty big loss on selling the 00:12:30.480 --> 00:12:36.480 hardware every time it is probably less of that because the hardware they're 00:12:34.440 --> 00:12:42.360 using in there is really not as expensive so that also provides a more 00:12:39.440 --> 00:12:46.480 compelling reason to deter people from going into PC gaming and buying the 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 00:12:48.399 --> 00:12:53.720 would assume that they're not necessarily taking as much of a loss on 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 00:12:56.600 --> 00:13:00.920 interesting point here that's kind of hidden in the notes on this topic but I 00:12:59.920 --> 00:13:06.079 thought it was I thought it was an interesting point of discussion so 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 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 00:13:13.440 --> 00:13:22.120 pass pre-order to $90 if you want to count all the content 00:13:18.760 --> 00:13:23.639 created before release as release 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 00:13:26.760 --> 00:13:35.680 should we should probably do a Twitter Blitz on this but do you think given 00:13:31.880 --> 00:13:37.920 that a game was going to cost you 00:13:35.680 --> 00:13:41.920 $59.99 actually you know what we should go back and find some find some old 00:13:39.760 --> 00:13:48.240 games what was the release price of Starcraft 1 like Paul do you remember 00:13:45.160 --> 00:13:50.399 Starcraft 1 I believe was probably 40 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 00:13:53.240 --> 00:13:59.759 a AAA title was 40 bucks I it might have 00:13:57.440 --> 00:14:04.480 been as low as but I'm I'm going to go with 00:14:01.279 --> 00:14:07.519 40 cuz I seem to remember buying games 00:14:04.480 --> 00:14:10.839 like cartridge games back on sness like 00:14:07.519 --> 00:14:12.399 pretty old games for 50 and sometimes 00:14:10.839 --> 00:14:17.759 sometimes even more like what did what did Final Fantasy 6 cost at lunch six I 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 00:14:21.920 --> 00:14:28.720 talking 20 years ago I think was around the time Final Fantasy 6 came out if 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 00:14:31.680 --> 00:14:38.680 let's find an inflation calculator guys I want you to start blitzing at me with 00:14:34.920 --> 00:14:41.839 this is $90 completely 00:14:38.680 --> 00:14:44.240 unreasonable if you can get a slightly 00:14:41.839 --> 00:14:49.480 reduced experience for 60 when we factor in inflation you think the increased 00:14:47.160 --> 00:14:54.720 price might be reasonable due to the better game Fidelity increased mechanics 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 00:14:57.320 --> 00:15:05.240 of worms but I would say the increas inreased cost of making a game and the 00:15:02.320 --> 00:15:10.360 increase in okay and general inflation you might need to go get that here one 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 00:15:12.560 --> 00:15:19.759 calculator here I'm going to go 1994 something that cost 50 bucks and 00:15:18.199 --> 00:15:24.639 we're going to calculate it so apparently according to at least the 00:15:22.040 --> 00:15:27.959 Bank of Canada inflation calculator here something that was 50 bucks in 1994 00:15:26.639 --> 00:15:33.480 should be 7322 and then when we factor in how much 00:15:30.319 --> 00:15:35.399 more a game costs to make these days is 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 00:15:37.639 --> 00:15:41.959 to the Twitter boards here because I'm very interested to hear what you guys 00:15:40.880 --> 00:15:46.959 have to say what a warm 00:15:44.199 --> 00:15:50.920 welcome hey everyone uh you're you're actually not you're not live right now 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 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 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 00:16:04.000 --> 00:16:10.759 ridiculous Owens says I paid $89.99 for 00:16:07.720 --> 00:16:12.560 Warcraft 3 in 2000 and some SN games 00:16:10.759 --> 00:16:17.360 were $79.99 all right special edition 00:16:14.880 --> 00:16:22.600 versions Frank says yeah I didn't think Warcraft 3 was that expensive I think I 00:16:19.440 --> 00:16:24.360 paid 60 for it but then I got like a 00:16:22.600 --> 00:16:28.759 battle chest that had like all the versions together that that they 00:16:26.279 --> 00:16:34.279 released like yeah but then if you if you you treat an expansion pack like um 00:16:31.800 --> 00:16:40.120 like DLC which it basically is I mean that's pretty much exactly the same 00:16:36.079 --> 00:16:41.759 concept then maybe $90 for a game and a 00:16:40.120 --> 00:16:47.680 couple expansion packs is equivalent to $90 plus a couple of DLCs no maybe but 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 00:16:50.079 --> 00:16:56.279 launch is pretty much what they've worked on up till then and then they 00:16:54.000 --> 00:17:00.000 work on like more stuff so if the stuff's already available then maybe it 00:16:58.519 --> 00:17:05.360 should just been integrated into the game from the get-go rather than trying 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 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 00:17:11.959 --> 00:17:17.880 a you know a thumb drive somewhere so that no one knew about it and then 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 00:17:19.799 --> 00:17:26.000 really see the difference personally uh from I mean you run a 00:17:24.319 --> 00:17:29.720 business do you tell everything about your business publicly I mean there 00:17:27.880 --> 00:17:34.160 there even though it is sort of an ignorance as Bliss kind of thing there 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 00:17:36.440 --> 00:17:42.000 even two weeks or a month then maybe they could have done it but the reason 00:17:40.080 --> 00:17:46.200 they're probably talking about it now is because they want to have this stuff in 00:17:43.440 --> 00:17:49.640 time for the holiday season Q4 all that good stuff so that's basically it 00:17:47.840 --> 00:17:55.480 they're just capitalizing on the hype train because let's face it more people 00:17:52.360 --> 00:17:58.240 are going to buy Deluxe editions and 00:17:55.480 --> 00:18:03.240 extra DLC when the game is all over every intern internet Banner everywhere 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 00:18:05.559 --> 00:18:10.640 $30 upsell at that point so yeah I guess 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 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 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 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 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 00:18:33.600 --> 00:18:39.760 there's something that much better coming down the pipe so so you think 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 00:18:42.840 --> 00:18:47.640 then I think I I think people wouldn't 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 00:18:51.000 --> 00:18:57.480 large video game maker I 00:18:54.280 --> 00:18:59.919 mean Assassin's Creed is is is huge so 00:18:57.480 --> 00:19:04.320 obviously it's extremely profitable it just I think I think the point at which 00:19:02.640 --> 00:19:08.320 people start to get upset is the point at which they feel that the decision is 00:19:06.000 --> 00:19:13.240 being made much much more for the monetary reasons than it is for giving 00:19:10.799 --> 00:19:17.280 Gamers like the best time they could have or the most amount of content that 00:19:14.799 --> 00:19:20.200 they could give them right all right let's go through some uh let's go 00:19:18.559 --> 00:19:25.600 through some tweets here and welcome to the show Kyle thank you hello sorry I'm 00:19:22.760 --> 00:19:30.880 late all right we're getting some pretty good tweets from people here action 52 00:19:27.840 --> 00:19:33.320 for the nest was $199.99 in 00:19:30.880 --> 00:19:36.799 1991 iron hawk says it's all about the money they're announcing the DLC for 00:19:35.080 --> 00:19:41.880 hyping the game even more you know what that's a very good point because 00:19:38.880 --> 00:19:45.320 something that works really well for 00:19:41.880 --> 00:19:47.520 selling more of something is just this 00:19:45.320 --> 00:19:51.799 just talking about it even us talking about this DLC right now is creating 00:19:49.520 --> 00:19:56.320 more exposure for Assassin's Creed Unity For Better or For Worse that's why we 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 00:19:58.000 --> 00:20:04.840 Ubisoft for my uh like my digging 00:20:02.159 --> 00:20:09.320 references they love me uh Brad's culio I find it funny that 00:20:07.559 --> 00:20:13.320 AAA titles are so expensive whereas Indie Games actual good games are so 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 00:20:15.039 --> 00:20:22.559 generalize that way there are AAA titles that aren't that expensive I tomb Tomb 00:20:20.039 --> 00:20:26.760 Raider 2013 was on midweek Madness for what was it like $10 or something this 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 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 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 00:20:37.840 --> 00:20:43.000 value bin that's that's how it works and 00:20:40.880 --> 00:20:46.840 in saying indie games are actual good games yes there are good indie games but 00:20:45.240 --> 00:20:52.000 I think to say that every indie game is good is is ridiculous or to generalize 00:20:49.919 --> 00:20:57.280 that of terrible indie games too there's a lot of just horrible indie games and 00:20:55.120 --> 00:21:01.679 if we count the indie games that get funded on services like like Kickstarter 00:20:59.440 --> 00:21:08.600 and don't get made then there's some really abysmal Indie Games those are 00:21:04.799 --> 00:21:10.200 those are like actionable Indie Games in 00:21:08.600 --> 00:21:14.880 my opinion apparently Tomb Raider was $3.99 so there you go you can get Tomb 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 00:21:16.080 --> 00:21:22.440 life-size lar Craft Doll no kind of 00:21:19.760 --> 00:21:27.520 creepy which one did you buy well for 400 bucks you they better throw 00:21:24.320 --> 00:21:30.600 something no $4 oh 00:21:27.520 --> 00:21:32.400 $4 would you want a life-size Laura C 00:21:30.600 --> 00:21:37.440 okay tell me something we should do okay we should probably do a straw pole here 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 00:21:39.760 --> 00:21:46.880 because I have to assume that everyone on this stream would probably buy it 00:21:43.520 --> 00:21:49.679 what I want to know is would you prefer 00:21:46.880 --> 00:21:56.080 original Tomb Raider Laura Croft Tomb Raider 2013 Laura Croft or Angelina 00:21:52.320 --> 00:21:58.600 jooli Laura coft in the Box could we get 00:21:56.080 --> 00:22:04.440 old school Laura coft with the graphics in detail of current day no you have to 00:22:01.440 --> 00:22:06.919 pick one a which Tomb Raider current day 00:22:04.440 --> 00:22:14.200 lcraft cuz she's a real woman excellent choice Kyle I I agree 00:22:11.640 --> 00:22:19.120 that's my reasoning so Angelina Jolie Lara Croft is not a real 00:22:16.720 --> 00:22:22.760 woman oh was that an option was Angelina Jolie an option you weren't even 00:22:20.919 --> 00:22:27.279 listening all you heard was Lura Croft comes in the box and you're like boom 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 00:22:29.520 --> 00:22:36.559 she'd be kind of high maintenance wait so so if I if I pick 00:22:34.039 --> 00:22:40.080 the the current gen video game lcraft is that mean I could control her just like 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 00:22:41.600 --> 00:22:44.760 come with their respective 00:22:45.400 --> 00:22:51.000 personalities what okay I'd say I'd say 00:22:48.400 --> 00:22:54.400 current Jen um is this current Jen Laura Croft because she seems like a down toe 00:22:52.600 --> 00:22:57.600 chick you know is this really the topic of the straw pole that you're creating 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 00:23:00.360 --> 00:23:07.559 what's going on here I see stop it twitch what are you 00:23:04.200 --> 00:23:11.120 doing log me in please thank 00:23:07.559 --> 00:23:12.520 you stop being broken would appreciate 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 00:23:14.559 --> 00:23:20.200 and just distract the the viewers while while lonus figures this out that would 00:23:18.240 --> 00:23:27.640 actually be incredibly helpful right about now um come on do you have any props 00:23:23.919 --> 00:23:29.120 here what can we I have a wine opener 00:23:27.640 --> 00:23:32.720 why are we talking about props first we're talking about blowup dolls now 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 00:23:35.760 --> 00:23:42.000 to know what you could do with a C clamp all 00:23:39.400 --> 00:23:48.840 right so let's take a couple more tweets about this whole Ubisoft thing and then 00:23:45.000 --> 00:23:51.039 um wow 46 New notifications man you guys 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 00:23:52.480 --> 00:23:57.640 restricted in any way where's Luke by the way what happened to Luke did he 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 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 00:24:05.440 --> 00:24:11.039 Europe from from what I can tell just like Demitri is he in Dimitri like are 00:24:09.000 --> 00:24:14.200 they are they dating they actually met because when you go to Europe and 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 00:24:18.320 --> 00:24:25.279 Daniel Hoff over there better be careful with ideas like that uh he just tweeted 00:24:22.720 --> 00:24:29.000 imagine if blizzard did DLC with wow where if you want access to a particular 00:24:27.200 --> 00:24:33.840 instance you pay a small incremental amount for it wow well they effectively 00:24:32.240 --> 00:24:38.720 have a much better deal going with a monthly subscription that's true but 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 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 00:24:46.840 --> 00:24:53.440 plenty of like uh uh frill you 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 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 00:24:58.760 --> 00:25:03.880 to time she got the star Pony your your 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 00:25:06.039 --> 00:25:13.520 a star Pony all right what else we got for tweets here got people asking where 00:25:10.320 --> 00:25:18.240 they can buy a Gigabyte GTX 980 I don't 00:25:13.520 --> 00:25:19.880 know the internet um a Graves says I 00:25:18.240 --> 00:25:23.440 think increasing the price of AAA titles is not ridiculous but might Stu start 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 00:25:25.360 --> 00:25:30.559 vocal minority that's complaining about this there's going to going to be lots 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 00:25:33.760 --> 00:25:40.120 that if it was affecting sales in some kind of negative way so if it was 00:25:37.480 --> 00:25:47.039 actually scaring off buyers Mr Graves I guarantee you Ubisoft wouldn't be doing 00:25:41.919 --> 00:25:49.600 it so there you go wow kimchi Manu Mandu 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 00:25:51.799 --> 00:25:58.480 really mind not many PC Gamers that do 00:25:55.360 --> 00:25:59.679 that I sometimes do 60 it depends on the 00:25:58.480 --> 00:26:04.240 game though really that's one of the benefits 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 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 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 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 00:26:19.039 --> 00:26:27.279 benefit to going beyond that here's a tweet from rsmith 17 you aren't taking 00:26:24.559 --> 00:26:33.120 into account that games sell many more copies now than did and this offsets the 00:26:30.120 --> 00:26:35.960 inflation okay you can make that 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 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 00:26:43.520 --> 00:26:52.200 of scales with the market from there so 00:26:48.000 --> 00:26:54.039 if if it's if it was worth $60 or $50 or 00:26:52.200 --> 00:26:58.000 $80 or some of these older games people are Tweeting or even more if it was 00:26:55.520 --> 00:27:03.720 worth that to the buyer then then it's probably still worth that relative 00:27:00.200 --> 00:27:05.679 amount of income to the buyer now 00:27:03.720 --> 00:27:08.600 so yeah the fact that they're selling more copies of it means that they're 00:27:06.840 --> 00:27:13.480 going to make more money but it doesn't mean that 00:27:10.600 --> 00:27:18.240 the that theost gone down yeah it doesn't mean the value goes down per per 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 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 00:27:24.640 --> 00:27:29.840 developers are businesses they if they 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 00:27:33.880 --> 00:27:40.159 his game sells lots of copies and he makes shedloads of money I mean yeah 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 00:27:43.240 --> 00:27:50.120 make money but about notch I'm sorry what about notch what 00:27:48.240 --> 00:27:56.360 what about notch he's made more money than like probably everyone in the town 00:27:53.279 --> 00:27:58.799 I'm in Combined but he is also taking a 00:27:56.360 --> 00:28:03.840 step that will potentially make him a lot less money right but he has lots of 00:28:01.640 --> 00:28:08.000 money already so he's reached he's reached a point of of of Mone where 00:28:07.120 --> 00:28:12.039 where it doesn't really make a difference anymore it kind of feels like 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 00:28:14.640 --> 00:28:21.120 charging batteries with a 20year lifetime this was posted by meev on the 00:28:19.600 --> 00:28:25.919 Forum and the original article is from engadget.com I'm just going to go ahead 00:28:22.880 --> 00:28:29.080 and pop that up for you guys to enjoy 00:28:25.919 --> 00:28:31.440 but this looks freaking promising 00:28:29.080 --> 00:28:35.399 apparently the technology is not super expensive to produce and we could be 00:28:33.480 --> 00:28:41.760 looking at batteries that can charge up to 70% and these would be new lithium 00:28:37.840 --> 00:28:44.880 ion batteries up to 70% in 2 00:28:41.760 --> 00:28:47.440 minutes that's ridiculous yeah I mean 00:28:44.880 --> 00:28:52.279 wow I mean okay s here question question for you guys and you can debate amongst 00:28:49.399 --> 00:28:57.880 yourselves but what's more important to you long battery life or fast charging 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 00:29:00.000 --> 00:29:05.760 because I'm pretty good about plugging in my phone every night if my phone can 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 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 00:29:12.200 --> 00:29:18.640 day you still need something to charge it with I would prefer just having a 00:29:16.399 --> 00:29:23.919 self-contained battery that lasts as long as it does regardless of where I am 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 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 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 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 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 00:29:42.440 --> 00:29:48.480 either way this will enable potentially 00:29:45.720 --> 00:29:53.440 devices with larger batteries to also be charged much more quickly so if we had 00:29:50.600 --> 00:29:56.840 you know I I usually assume when some research comes out and they talk about 00:29:55.159 --> 00:30:00.640 what percentage they can charge in X number of minutes um for like a phone I 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 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 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 00:30:14.200 --> 00:30:19.559 somewhere in that range I think three to five I've seen yeah okay well whatever 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 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 00:30:28.000 --> 00:30:34.320 titanium dioxide nanot tubes for the anode rather than graphite which speeds 00:30:32.600 --> 00:30:38.720 up the battery's chemical reactions offering 10,000 charging Cycles rather 00:30:36.320 --> 00:30:41.919 than the usual 500 so would that be something that's more important to you 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 00:30:43.960 --> 00:30:51.080 it especially now that so many devices don't have removable batteries when you 00:30:49.519 --> 00:30:55.159 first when I first was looking at this story earlier I I was very excited 00:30:53.519 --> 00:30:58.320 initially because I'm always happy when I see Battery Technology improvements 00:30:57.240 --> 00:31:04.200 because I think that's just something that's lagged behind so so badly um but 00:31:01.320 --> 00:31:08.360 my my secondary reaction was I hope it doesn't have like some sort of negative 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 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 00:31:16.919 --> 00:31:22.360 factor for me at this point um when it 00:31:20.120 --> 00:31:26.760 goes into especially for technology is going to be the environmental impact it 00:31:24.440 --> 00:31:31.320 might have as well so uh think of the children Factor think of the children 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 00:31:33.480 --> 00:31:39.240 going to last 10,000 Char charging Cycles rather than 500 it should last a 00:31:37.080 --> 00:31:45.360 lot longer hopefully maybe the device could last longer um I mean another 00:31:42.600 --> 00:31:48.960 discussion is is is if we're reaching a point of capability with the technology 00:31:47.240 --> 00:31:53.760 and the speed where devices might start lasting longer rather than being 00:31:50.360 --> 00:31:55.760 replaced in one or two years um so yeah 00:31:53.760 --> 00:32:01.399 timing for this could be perfect then yeah so you get a device that you know 00:31:58.720 --> 00:32:04.360 isn't really getting that much faster every generation so you don't really 00:32:02.720 --> 00:32:08.200 feel the need to replace it so often I mean something like this could be great 00:32:05.880 --> 00:32:12.399 for your Project Ara phone so you could you know buy yourself a a quick charge 00:32:10.519 --> 00:32:16.960 module versus the standard battery module and make that thing last freaking 00:32:14.559 --> 00:32:22.240 forever I mean once you have a portable device that can do you know say 4K 00:32:19.880 --> 00:32:27.360 resolution on a handheld display and have 48 hours of battery life and you 00:32:25.120 --> 00:32:31.440 know apart from gam playay what really stress thing to you do with the phone so 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 00:32:34.720 --> 00:32:42.720 to last a reasonable amount of time question for 00:32:39.080 --> 00:32:44.880 you is do we really even need 4k on a 00:32:42.720 --> 00:32:49.799 mobile display I mean have you have you used the LG 00:32:46.399 --> 00:32:52.039 G3 no I haven't uh I I don't really 00:32:49.799 --> 00:32:57.120 think so I think it's Overkill I think the retina displays and the small 00:32:53.960 --> 00:33:00.240 devices are pretty pretty absurd um a 00:32:57.120 --> 00:33:02.360 lot of the time I mean it's it's a pixel 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 00:33:04.720 --> 00:33:09.639 pixel race for for PC monitors um 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 00:33:12.519 --> 00:33:18.919 screen and most people that have monitors are still running 1080 which is 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 00:33:20.480 --> 00:33:26.120 whatever has a higher resolution than the monitor that you're using every day 00:33:23.799 --> 00:33:30.600 for work or for gaming whatnot when the funniest thing about it is you know what 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 00:33:33.840 --> 00:33:41.080 even a second that the screen was low res because it really really doesn't 00:33:38.880 --> 00:33:45.480 matter like relatively low res it's still retina or whatever but it's it's 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 00:33:47.519 --> 00:33:53.320 just funny you mention that not only can I not tell the difference between 1440p 00:33:51.880 --> 00:33:56.720 and 1080 but I couldn't even tell the difference stepping down to uh whatever 00:33:55.399 --> 00:34:00.559 this is cuz it's not 1080 I mean there's definitely something 00:33:58.720 --> 00:34:05.039 we said for getting up to that point where you know 1080 and Beyond because 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 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 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 00:34:13.760 --> 00:34:19.119 you get to a certain amount of pixel density I think it's really doesn't 00:34:17.200 --> 00:34:23.480 matter for a handheld device all right so speaking of handheld 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 00:34:27.040 --> 00:34:32.440 9 and the Nexus 6 so guys uh start 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 00:34:34.119 --> 00:34:41.760 we go Linus tech on Twitter want to start hearing from you guys about 00:34:37.919 --> 00:34:43.359 Android 5.0 Lollipop Nexus 9 and Nexus 6 00:34:41.760 --> 00:34:47.639 what are your thoughts we will go through some of those but first let's 00:34:45.159 --> 00:34:52.760 sort of briefly run through exactly what's going on here so um Android 5.0 00:34:51.320 --> 00:34:58.040 is coming in the next few months for the Nexus 5 710 and Google Play edition 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 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 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 00:35:12.040 --> 00:35:18.880 of eight mate dear S I think my wife has one of 00:35:15.839 --> 00:35:20.599 those um all right so the Nexus player 00:35:18.880 --> 00:35:25.760 streaming media device is also getting it it's biggest new feature is material 00:35:23.599 --> 00:35:30.960 design it overhauls almost all of the gooey this is the biggest Android 00:35:27.760 --> 00:35:33.800 changed since Ice Cream Sandwich back in 00:35:30.960 --> 00:35:39.800 2011 it has new refined animations a new color palette revamped multitasking 00:35:35.680 --> 00:35:41.839 voice controls and also brings 5,000 new 00:35:39.800 --> 00:35:45.880 apis for developers to tap into and lets multiple devices and various form 00:35:43.440 --> 00:35:48.760 factors work together better there's improved syncing options new 00:35:47.280 --> 00:35:53.760 notification settings and controls improved battery saving something that I 00:35:51.440 --> 00:35:59.079 would be really happy to see because being back on iOS again has actually 00:35:56.240 --> 00:36:05.200 been super duper nice because particularly when the phone is Idle the 00:36:01.200 --> 00:36:07.920 power management is just so much better 00:36:05.200 --> 00:36:11.200 uh multiple user accounts something I I guess we should have seen coming I mean 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 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 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 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 00:36:26.280 --> 00:36:33.319 I recall correctly and I think Samsung does as well so now you can get it 00:36:30.960 --> 00:36:39.520 without subjecting yourself to uh to touch whiz or using sense um 00:36:37.280 --> 00:36:43.200 what else is there in here multiple user accounts yeah so that's basically it now 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 00:36:46.079 --> 00:36:50.960 Nexus 6 maybe give us your thoughts uh 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 00:36:55.319 --> 00:37:01.560 a new phone soon actually I have a new contract starting and when I saw the 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 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 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 00:37:10.599 --> 00:37:18.119 to be a new one um so it gave me some 00:37:14.160 --> 00:37:20.640 consideration but yeah 5.96 in 2560 X 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 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 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 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 00:37:37.960 --> 00:37:43.480 front-facing camera um for this for the 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 00:37:46.000 --> 00:37:51.319 aperture which means uh you know you can get some good low lighting uh 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 00:37:54.440 --> 00:38:02.560 cinematic oh you've got to be kidding me so so you're worded 00:37:58.240 --> 00:38:05.119 effects on selfies really of course it's 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 00:38:06.440 --> 00:38:11.800 the filters that they have on on Instagram you know that that's one of 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 00:38:15.160 --> 00:38:23.119 social media to the next level lus I'm very excited about that indulge 32 all 00:38:19.960 --> 00:38:26.160 right 30 3,220 Mah hour battery is 00:38:23.119 --> 00:38:27.960 something that's is yeah whatever that's 00:38:26.160 --> 00:38:33.640 been my biggest complaint recently my phone batter is really really sucking 00:38:30.839 --> 00:38:39.480 lately in the last six months of its existence um so so yeah hopefully the 00:38:36.520 --> 00:38:44.000 larger battery combined with the uh the lollipop features of uh particularly 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 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 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 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 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 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 00:39:06.800 --> 00:39:13.400 this looks like this looks like um Google catching up to what other guys 00:39:10.960 --> 00:39:16.599 were already doing like Samsung had that high endurance mode or whatever they 00:39:14.880 --> 00:39:21.640 were calling it where your phone could last for like multiple days on a few per 00:39:19.240 --> 00:39:26.240 charge cuz it just like didn't do basically anything it was like two color 00:39:24.079 --> 00:39:29.040 display and all that kind of stuff and it's funny that you mentioned that with 00:39:27.599 --> 00:39:34.200 your phone because I don't know about other manufacturers but HTC actually 00:39:31.240 --> 00:39:37.920 reserves enough battery to wake itself up to have an alarm go off even if it 00:39:36.119 --> 00:39:43.480 dies in the middle of the night so you might want to find find a manufacturer 00:39:40.079 --> 00:39:45.560 whose phone does that I do love HTC pH 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 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 00:39:53.520 --> 00:40:00.960 books so thoughts on the $649 99 00:39:58.000 --> 00:40:06.119 unlocked price point though I was disappointed that was that's steep yeah 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 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 00:40:12.520 --> 00:40:20.040 they first started discussing them publicly that uh I think AT&T had posted 00:40:17.680 --> 00:40:24.800 the pre-order or something accidentally for the Nexus 6 and it was like 50 bucks 00:40:22.800 --> 00:40:29.400 on contract and I I'm starting to think like that 00:40:27.839 --> 00:40:32.160 might have been just a mistake and probably not actually going to be what 00:40:30.960 --> 00:40:38.720 what what they're going to charge for it cuz 650 with contract is still probably 00:40:35.599 --> 00:40:39.839 seems to me like a one1 to $200 upfront 00:40:38.720 --> 00:40:45.119 investment they're going to ask especially when it's brand 00:40:42.280 --> 00:40:48.760 new yeah yeah I'm I'm pretty disappointed I mean I don't know that 00:40:46.760 --> 00:40:52.640 this has been confirmed or anything but I would suspect based on that the fact 00:40:50.800 --> 00:40:56.400 that there's not much actual spec difference now between the Nexus 5 and 00:40:54.160 --> 00:41:01.119 the Nexus 6 we're going to see those two devices coexist 00:40:57.760 --> 00:41:03.440 in addition to that I mean even Apple 00:41:01.119 --> 00:41:10.400 has finally acknowledged that there isn't just one size fits all for phone 00:41:06.839 --> 00:41:12.359 physical sizes so for for when when I 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 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 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 00:41:25.400 --> 00:41:30.839 I know that Samsung basically created 00:41:28.400 --> 00:41:36.079 the the hype around this fablet category that is that is doing incredibly well 00:41:32.640 --> 00:41:38.280 with even Apple jumping on board but to 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 00:41:39.599 --> 00:41:44.599 the past there's the Nexus device and 00:41:42.920 --> 00:41:48.920 then there's Google Play editions of like other stuff um but it looks I I 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 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 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 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 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 00:42:09.480 --> 00:42:15.400 making the Nexus 6 so competitively priced and I got to wonder if there's 00:42:13.160 --> 00:42:20.200 pressure on them from the handset makers because it was a few months ago but we 00:42:18.040 --> 00:42:24.920 we saw a report that I think Apple and Samsung were the only profitable handset 00:42:23.359 --> 00:42:31.280 divisions within their respective companies so you know guys like HTC who 00:42:28.760 --> 00:42:34.720 are not doing very well LG's mobile division has been doing better but even 00:42:32.680 --> 00:42:39.079 then I still don't think it's like an exceptional Money Maker for them maybe 00:42:36.839 --> 00:42:43.599 you know Google jumping in and kind of going yay phones should be commodity 00:42:41.040 --> 00:42:48.720 cheap like super cheap um was upsetting their 00:42:45.400 --> 00:42:50.599 Partners I mean is is it something where 00:42:48.720 --> 00:42:56.119 you think if they get enough investment in the platform that is similar to like 00:42:53.640 --> 00:42:59.240 how how consoles are sold that they might be able to 00:42:57.960 --> 00:43:04.160 provide more of an incentive to manufacturers to selling selling the 00:43:01.440 --> 00:43:08.480 devices for cheaper like could that be a uh a business tactic that they could 00:43:06.559 --> 00:43:13.200 could use to take on Apple and their kind of what they they then could 00:43:10.319 --> 00:43:18.440 position as like overpriced devices no I don't think so because 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 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 00:43:25.440 --> 00:43:32.839 going to lower your average sell price is to try to nickel and dime a 00:43:30.480 --> 00:43:37.720 competitor so for Google why do they care because they've already got the 00:43:35.319 --> 00:43:44.079 Lion Share of the mobile market with apple in a like decisively in second now 00:43:41.200 --> 00:43:49.079 and Microsoft just barely even a player and 00:43:45.000 --> 00:43:50.960 blackberry barlier than that so it's not 00:43:49.079 --> 00:43:55.400 like if they make high-end devices cheaper they're likely to sell more 00:43:53.200 --> 00:44:00.000 Android devices in general or gain more market share and the way Google's making 00:43:57.359 --> 00:44:03.880 their money is through the data mining that they're doing as well as through 00:44:01.800 --> 00:44:07.520 Google Play store purchases which maybe they could buy slightly higher end games 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 00:44:10.160 --> 00:44:20.240 $49 device off of a Chinese website are probably not buying $9 apps anyway so 00:44:16.520 --> 00:44:22.160 that customer is of no benefit to Google 00:44:20.240 --> 00:44:25.520 if just because they there no additional benefit to Google Just because they have 00:44:23.400 --> 00:44:30.119 higher end phone Hardware Kyle 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 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 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 00:44:42.160 --> 00:44:48.880 much different are you assuming that Google's going to be releasing some kind 00:44:45.520 --> 00:44:50.599 of lower end more affordable price point 00:44:48.880 --> 00:44:55.319 option in the future is that do you think that's their strategy behind such 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 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 00:45:01.240 --> 00:45:06.319 goes um let's go to Twitter cuz I kind 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 00:45:08.640 --> 00:45:14.640 go Ernie considering Shield tablet can you suggest comparable tablets in terms 00:45:12.920 --> 00:45:17.240 of value and features not really if you want the features a Shield tablet has 00:45:16.240 --> 00:45:21.800 then you're kind of stuck with The Shield tablet ireena says thinking of 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 00:45:23.240 --> 00:45:29.800 expensive and too big Amir says it's too 00:45:26.760 --> 00:45:32.079 big Max size for me is 5 in lollipop 00:45:29.800 --> 00:45:37.000 tried too hard with material design it's overdone interesting uh Phantom fish 00:45:35.200 --> 00:45:42.000 says I honestly think it looks similar to iOS bottom swipe up Graphics respond 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 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 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 00:45:51.720 --> 00:46:01.359 last gen tablet device is now similar to 00:45:57.280 --> 00:46:01.359 the size of their current gen phone 00:46:01.760 --> 00:46:10.119 device um oh yeah we should probably very briefly go through what the Nexus 9 00:46:06.440 --> 00:46:12.839 is so it's 8.9 in 20 48x 1536 IPS 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 00:46:15.319 --> 00:46:22.559 um so so interesting acknowledging that apple is right about that very 00:46:19.640 --> 00:46:27.720 interesting um 8 megapixel rear camera 1.6 megapixel front camera dual front 00:46:24.640 --> 00:46:29.960 facing speakers Tegra K1 uh assumed to 00:46:27.720 --> 00:46:34.480 be the 2.5 GHz dual core model though not confirmed 64-bit processor with 16 00:46:32.839 --> 00:46:38.359 or 32 gigs of storage aluminum construction and going to be made by HTC 00:46:37.280 --> 00:46:45.800 pricing looks a little bit more reasonable here 3.99 for 16 gig 42479 00:46:42.040 --> 00:46:49.319 for 32 gig and 599 for 32 gig with LTE 00:46:45.800 --> 00:46:50.960 but again not Nexus aggressive I mean 00:46:49.319 --> 00:46:54.440 that was the whole thing with the Nexus 7 is if I recall correctly that thing 00:46:53.200 --> 00:47:00.880 launched at what $199.99 was the original Nexus 7 price 00:46:58.319 --> 00:47:05.640 generation one I believe so yeah one one might have been 250 cuz that was the 00:47:02.559 --> 00:47:08.480 whole concept bringing the Google you 00:47:05.640 --> 00:47:12.160 know stock Android experience to the masses that was what made them so 00:47:09.920 --> 00:47:17.880 appealing well now yeah we get a couple more inches but is that really worth the 00:47:14.839 --> 00:47:21.599 couple hundred dollar extra we're paying 00:47:17.880 --> 00:47:23.480 hard to say Nexus 9 versus Shield tablet 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 00:47:24.800 --> 00:47:30.680 Shield tablet it has the quad core 00:47:28.200 --> 00:47:34.920 um it has the stylus build quality is not metal but 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 00:47:37.359 --> 00:47:42.839 having game stream from your GeForce PC is a pretty pretty good thing to 00:47:43.520 --> 00:47:49.079 have all right Jonah the boss the price is not 00:47:47.280 --> 00:47:54.680 reasonable got it um Oliver says so is this Android 00:47:52.920 --> 00:47:58.920 Silver but maybe they kept the Nexus name yeah there were rumors about 00:47:56.119 --> 00:48:04.280 Android Silver maybe silver means not cheap anymore but basically the same 00:48:01.800 --> 00:48:08.680 thing kimchi love Nexus for the low price point after I heard the price my 00:48:05.880 --> 00:48:15.079 heart sank down to the ground Phantom fish I think we saw this 00:48:11.280 --> 00:48:19.359 tweet before uh NEX Nexus 5 is Max size 00:48:15.079 --> 00:48:19.359 for my largest hands Nexus 6 is too 00:48:20.040 --> 00:48:26.240 big wow there's not a whole lot of positivity about this on Twitter here is 00:48:24.400 --> 00:48:32.880 there there I think I think people were too like people enjoyed the price of the 00:48:30.520 --> 00:48:35.520 Nexus 5 so much like they were just really expecting oh they're going to 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 00:48:38.520 --> 00:48:46.480 three or 400 bucks of all the Nexus devices really I mean I bought my second 00:48:42.760 --> 00:48:48.599 generation Nexus 7 for 220 bucks and it 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 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 00:48:55.799 --> 00:49:03.240 who are getting the Nexus will virtually have no reason at all to 00:48:59.359 --> 00:49:06.240 buy a Nexus 7 tablet especially when 00:49:03.240 --> 00:49:08.720 third of price if I recall correctly so 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 00:49:10.599 --> 00:49:19.319 tablet side it looks like the entry level Nexus tablet is going to be 400 00:49:16.920 --> 00:49:23.799 bucks Oliver says looking forward to 60fps 00:49:21.680 --> 00:49:28.079 animations not looking forward to apps that don't support material design 00:49:25.440 --> 00:49:32.799 inconsistency in apps is EU that is a very good point Nexus 6 is most 00:49:30.720 --> 00:49:36.960 definitely Flagship but what about makes it more expensive than the Nexus 9 00:49:34.760 --> 00:49:41.559 tablet that's a that's an interesting that's an interesting 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 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 00:49:48.559 --> 00:49:56.160 are the hardware differences here exactly I guess uh there's less right 00:49:54.799 --> 00:49:59.680 actually I have to do math to figure that the pixel density isn't as high 00:49:58.240 --> 00:50:04.839 there's definitely less pixel density and less it's a lower overall resolution 00:50:02.040 --> 00:50:09.280 on the Nexus 9 so the the the the display itself could be a pretty decent 00:50:07.599 --> 00:50:12.880 Factor yeah but the funny thing about that is if you've ever shopped for 00:50:11.000 --> 00:50:18.319 replacement displays for a phone I bought one for a Droid DNA not that long 00:50:15.240 --> 00:50:20.799 ago they're not expensive like even 00:50:18.319 --> 00:50:26.240 buying them on eBay as an end user so there's basically like negligible sales 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 00:50:28.559 --> 00:50:34.240 80 bucks shipped to me so I'm sure 00:50:32.040 --> 00:50:38.119 Google isn't paying that much for a display for a 5-in device regardless of 00:50:36.480 --> 00:50:42.280 pixel density cuz the Droid DNA was a pretty high-end display at the time that 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 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 00:50:49.280 --> 00:50:57.240 interested to see if we're getting more more if we're getting closer to Apple 00:50:53.799 --> 00:50:59.040 like margins on the Nexus 6 00:50:57.240 --> 00:51:06.440 Google's profiting are the cameras the same I feel like uh 13 megap yeah the 00:51:02.880 --> 00:51:09.920 camera's nicer 13 megapixel 8 00:51:06.440 --> 00:51:12.920 megapixel yeah better camera slightly 00:51:09.920 --> 00:51:14.920 slightly higher pixel count uh it's it's 00:51:12.920 --> 00:51:18.240 an AMOLED display so battery life should be pretty strong like there there's 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 00:51:20.160 --> 00:51:26.760 a huge gap to fill all right so let's move on to our 00:51:24.760 --> 00:51:31.640 next uh next topic this was posted by bogus on the Forum and the source is 00:51:29.880 --> 00:51:35.480 Goodwin Proctor and this is actually pretty funny if you if you have the kind 00:51:33.920 --> 00:51:39.760 of sense of humor where you get amused by things that are super sad so goodwi 00:51:37.799 --> 00:51:46.440 Proctor publishes a guide book on litigating with non-practicing entities 00:51:42.680 --> 00:51:48.640 also known as patent 00:51:46.440 --> 00:51:53.720 trolls so there's there's some notes Here a dramatic surge in patent cases 00:51:50.400 --> 00:51:55.680 filed by npes has captured the attention 00:51:53.720 --> 00:52:01.160 of corporate America as well as state and federal legisl s both private and 00:51:58.319 --> 00:52:05.880 public sectors fuel ongoing calls for new laws designed to mitigate or 00:52:03.240 --> 00:52:12.119 eliminate the perceived costs and inefficiencies of patent trol litigation 00:52:09.319 --> 00:52:16.240 so in their in their whole guide to how to deal with this there were some 00:52:14.200 --> 00:52:21.640 interesting little nuggets one of which was that it appears to be actually more 00:52:18.799 --> 00:52:25.280 profitable to patent troll than to deliver products and well not 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 00:52:27.280 --> 00:52:34.040 them but to be a company that actually makes products and try to sue companies 00:52:31.760 --> 00:52:38.119 that infringe your patents so apparently since 2010 patent trolling has been more 00:52:36.440 --> 00:52:41.839 profitable than actually delivering a product or service to Market uh 00:52:39.880 --> 00:52:45.960 non-practicing entities tend to be more successful in court than practicing 00:52:44.119 --> 00:52:50.640 entities and it's getting to the point where legitimate businesses might start 00:52:48.040 --> 00:52:56.040 doing it as well so the stats published by Goodwin Proctor um say that so 00:52:53.000 --> 00:52:58.960 between 2010 and 2013 the median gain 00:52:56.040 --> 00:53:04.920 from a patent suit by trolls is 8 1.2 million the median gain for legitimate 00:53:01.480 --> 00:53:07.359 businesses was 22 million so that was in 00:53:04.920 --> 00:53:11.799 2013 uh US Dollars this is like saying me and Paul 00:53:10.000 --> 00:53:16.079 Paul and I could make more money as drug dealers than running an honest YouTube 00:53:13.799 --> 00:53:20.559 channel well we probably could but the problem here is they're doing this under 00:53:18.280 --> 00:53:24.920 within the bounds of the law yeah and on the backs of the actual YouTube channels 00:53:23.200 --> 00:53:30.400 some relaxed morals you'd have to have to no this this 00:53:27.200 --> 00:53:32.680 like there's certain types of things 00:53:30.400 --> 00:53:36.599 that people do that make that like I really really hate and despise and think 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 00:53:38.720 --> 00:53:45.280 you do this or like work for a company 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 00:53:48.960 --> 00:53:54.400 okayness with the job that I'm doing I have to have some sort of like 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 00:53:57.160 --> 00:54:06.559 Society or producing something that's of value but like this type of crap I just 00:54:02.799 --> 00:54:09.559 I despise like it's it's really really 00:54:06.559 --> 00:54:12.000 terrible greed is a monster in all of us 00:54:09.559 --> 00:54:18.400 yes well put Kyle dramatic beer drinking drink beer 00:54:15.000 --> 00:54:20.280 now so this is this is this is actually 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 00:54:22.400 --> 00:54:30.200 explained uh why the the damage is awarded to trolls are disproportionately 00:54:27.200 --> 00:54:32.079 high so there's an economic model for of 00:54:30.200 --> 00:54:37.480 patent trolling that includes building up like a a legal War chest by squeezing 00:54:35.079 --> 00:54:41.960 settlements from dozens of smaller companies then suing a big fish like a 00:54:40.200 --> 00:54:47.440 Google or an apple or something like that so the patent trolls all are more 00:54:44.839 --> 00:54:52.359 capable of absorbing a loss in the in these litigations because they've got 00:54:49.160 --> 00:54:55.960 their War chest and they don't have 00:54:52.359 --> 00:54:58.599 actual you know physical inventory that 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 00:55:01.400 --> 00:55:08.400 you know someone sued them over over a patent infringement for example um the 00:55:06.240 --> 00:55:12.680 trolls victories in the small suits can be used as evidence in their suit 00:55:10.640 --> 00:55:15.839 against the big fish something that a big fish going after someone who's 00:55:14.200 --> 00:55:19.480 infringing a patent won't necessarily have because they might not be chasing 00:55:17.319 --> 00:55:23.960 down every Tom Dick and Harry and then patent trolls normally try to settle 00:55:21.559 --> 00:55:28.520 outside of court and the big fish will usually just take a big loss up front 00:55:26.720 --> 00:55:32.640 rather than the guaranteed legal fees to defend themselves and the threat of an 00:55:30.000 --> 00:55:38.640 even higher fee if the court does find in favor of the 00:55:34.400 --> 00:55:40.680 troll unbelievable I mean I'm not I'm 00:55:38.640 --> 00:55:47.280 not a legal expert I think that much should be obvious but something has to 00:55:44.640 --> 00:55:51.720 be done you can't have legitimate companies that are innovating and 00:55:49.160 --> 00:55:56.799 investing in Technologies like Apple and Google and Microsoft being sued by 00:55:54.599 --> 00:56:02.039 people who aren't actually making anything every time they turn around and 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 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 00:56:09.640 --> 00:56:17.640 thing so it's difficult for people to grasp at first like how it even works 00:56:14.160 --> 00:56:20.000 but like I mean equate it to to like 00:56:17.640 --> 00:56:24.200 cheating in a video game like an Aimbot something like that that's that's what 00:56:21.839 --> 00:56:28.240 it equates with I mean much worse than that obviously because there's a lot 00:56:25.400 --> 00:56:34.319 more money at stake but like think of the hatred that people direct towards 00:56:31.599 --> 00:56:38.480 cheaters online at video games and then like transfer that over to real life 00:56:36.880 --> 00:56:43.359 please and yeah imagine if they were cheating you out of8 and a half million 00:56:40.680 --> 00:56:52.559 dollars on average yeah like damn it that guy stole my head 00:56:46.920 --> 00:56:52.559 shot poverty bot oh God poty 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 00:56:58.559 --> 00:57:05.480 know has there not been that much backlash against the sort of you know 00:57:02.680 --> 00:57:08.760 this is more of a recent crime against humanity speak can't do anything about 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 00:57:11.880 --> 00:57:17.960 can't do anything so what are you supposed to 00:57:15.839 --> 00:57:24.200 do nothing I mean there's uh yeah I I don't 00:57:21.559 --> 00:57:28.400 have I don't have any good actionable like suggestions for people to take to 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 00:57:30.400 --> 00:57:36.200 thing when we we were working for New Egg that I always appreciated about them 00:57:34.319 --> 00:57:40.880 was that they their legal team will actually go after some people they've 00:57:38.119 --> 00:57:47.799 won several cases against some pretty large patent trolls thatp can I think 00:57:44.319 --> 00:57:49.319 there was a patent for like um One Click 00:57:47.799 --> 00:57:52.799 one click checkout or something like that that basically said screw off we're 00:57:51.720 --> 00:57:57.400 going to yeah there's a one click checkout thing there's like the shopping 00:57:55.280 --> 00:58:02.079 cart patent like somebody try to be oh any online retailer who has a virtual 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 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 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 00:58:11.839 --> 00:58:18.000 and the the amount of this that goes on 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 00:58:19.480 --> 00:58:26.480 about that it's obviously insanely profitable and the snowballing effect 00:58:24.359 --> 00:58:30.319 that has is insanely profitable profitable things like this where people 00:58:28.440 --> 00:58:34.520 are making that much money they can then offer that money to people who are smart 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 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 00:58:39.480 --> 00:58:45.000 smartest graduates from schools are not going into like science the science 00:58:44.039 --> 00:58:49.200 sector and that sort of thing they're going into Finance to like learn ways to 00:58:47.720 --> 00:58:53.559 gain them Wall Street better and that sort of thing it kind of sucks anyway 00:58:50.760 --> 00:58:58.440 sorry to go off topic speaking of uh money being important uh let's go ahead 00:58:55.720 --> 00:59:02.640 and do our sponsor call outs for today's episode so 00:59:00.520 --> 00:59:09.720 Squarespace is one of our sponsors today and

01:06:40.920 it's like really comfy and the buttons look nice people compliment me on that 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 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 01:06:45.720 --> 01:06:52.079 never get those and you're fishing for them right 01:06:49.720 --> 01:06:56.839 now you enjoy fishing though don't you speaking of uh being willing to pay 01:06:54.799 --> 01:07:01.480 60 bucks a month for compliments I have something nice to say about Blackberry 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 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 01:07:07.400 --> 01:07:13.000 they uh it's a really great amazing 01:07:11.200 --> 01:07:18.720 square device with a keyboard on it that people really really want to buy but uh 01:07:15.400 --> 01:07:21.599 there you go they sold 200,000 passports 01:07:18.720 --> 01:07:27.039 within 2 days of launch and stock was apparently completely wiped out after 6 01:07:24.279 --> 01:07:30.000 hours of sales Amazon alerted purchasers by email that their passport had an 01:07:28.319 --> 01:07:35.839 expected delivery date of October 17th to 20th with shop Blackberry quoting 01:07:32.520 --> 01:07:37.680 October 29th as the delivery date so 01:07:35.839 --> 01:07:41.240 things are looking up maybe for the Blackberry brand as they saw an 01:07:38.839 --> 01:07:45.520 operating loss of only 207 Million last quarter below analyst expectations um 01:07:43.799 --> 01:07:49.200 they expected a loss of 16 cents per share and only ended up losing 2 cents 01:07:47.480 --> 01:07:56.440 per share after exclusions so I haven't tried the 01:07:52.760 --> 01:07:58.680 passport I feel like I I kind of I was 01:07:56.440 --> 01:08:03.640 very dismissive of it when I first heard about it but 01:08:00.760 --> 01:08:07.359 um would love to hear what you guys think about the passport actually uh 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 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 01:08:12.599 --> 01:08:22.279 don't actually have a ton of time left which is sort of unfortunate but 01:08:18.600 --> 01:08:26.000 um conversation going on Blackberry 01:08:22.279 --> 01:08:27.279 Passport yay neay 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 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 01:08:36.040 --> 01:08:42.880 know what people think of stuff like this like what the heck is this 01:08:40.560 --> 01:08:46.120 thing I realize now that I haven't actually shown a picture of it on screen 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 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 01:08:51.920 --> 01:09:02.239 Guy what a jerk imposta all right here it 01:08:58.839 --> 01:09:03.679 is what what uh is is this BlackBerry 01:09:02.239 --> 01:09:09.880 still running their own their own operating system uh yes but apparently 01:09:07.440 --> 01:09:14.319 the integration of the Play Store is much better now and you can basically 01:09:11.400 --> 01:09:18.520 just install Android apps oh co so they're not nearly as Limited in terms 01:09:15.960 --> 01:09:21.560 of app support right there it is all right line of screen share boom 01:09:20.120 --> 01:09:26.440 Blackberry Passport got your full keyboard also got 01:09:24.279 --> 01:09:33.440 a nice large touchcreen um looks like a very you know a 01:09:29.239 --> 01:09:35.319 productivity friendly more Square aspect 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 01:09:38.520 --> 01:09:43.679 it's uh if it's the right thing for me 01:09:41.520 --> 01:09:49.920 necessarily all right so let's move on to the next topic here 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 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 01:09:55.719 --> 01:10:04.000 meetings between top brass at both companies and the failure of the HTC 01:10:01.480 --> 01:10:08.679 First which was the first Facebook phone um is not stopping them from planning a 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 01:10:10.199 --> 01:10:15.640 Facebook only phone or anything like that but it's more likely to be 01:10:13.800 --> 01:10:19.199 something with some Facebook features integrated into it I mean Samsung's one 01:10:17.320 --> 01:10:24.719 of the few Android handset makers that is still really sticking with their own 01:10:22.840 --> 01:10:29.080 skin on top of Android that is really quite different from how Android is 01:10:26.760 --> 01:10:32.679 supposed to work LG actually as well I guess they still have quite a few 01:10:30.080 --> 01:10:35.840 differences but um I could see Samsung potentially working in more Facebook 01:10:34.120 --> 01:10:39.080 integration not sure how beneficial that would necessarily be to users but hey 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 01:10:42.840 --> 01:10:48.120 malicious sites this was posted on the Forum by rainfall within and it's from 01:10:46.199 --> 01:10:52.400 the Trend Micro blog that we got this information basically these ads were 01:10:50.360 --> 01:10:55.960 appearing in videos with up to 11 million views and they don't take you 01:10:54.040 --> 01:11:00.960 directly to malicious sites but rather first through advertising sites so the 01:10:58.920 --> 01:11:04.560 exploit exploit used in this attack was the Sweet Orange exploit kit which uses 01:11:02.880 --> 01:11:09.199 certain vulnerabilities in Java Flash and ie and the final payload of the 01:11:06.960 --> 01:11:13.360 attack are variants of the cter malware family which is known for ransomware 01:11:11.239 --> 01:11:17.199 attack so there have been 113,000 victims with 95% of them being from the 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 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 01:11:22.920 --> 01:11:31.960 Paul and Kyle are going to want to weigh in Bethesda to officially support 01:11:28.320 --> 01:11:33.719 60fps with The Evil Within on PC this is 01:11:31.960 --> 01:11:39.719 posted by spoy on the Forum and the original article is from PC Gamer and it 01:11:36.080 --> 01:11:42.600 sounds like great news on the surface I 01:11:39.719 --> 01:11:51.639 mean we get some console commands for things like God mode which is cool no 01:11:45.719 --> 01:11:53.880 clip which is cool but by 30 FPS they 01:11:51.639 --> 01:12:01.440 mean they're unlocking it from the previously rumored 30 frames per second 01:11:56.679 --> 01:12:06.239 lock to 60 FPS only so you may run the 01:12:01.440 --> 01:12:08.719 game at 30 FPS or 60 FPS but not more 01:12:06.239 --> 01:12:12.199 FPS and they are saying that there's going to be potentially some glitches in 01:12:10.400 --> 01:12:18.760 the game at 60 frames per second at launch but that they will fix them and 01:12:15.480 --> 01:12:20.120 anything else you can set whatever 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 01:12:22.600 --> 01:12:29.320 it well kids can I get a 60 is better 01:12:26.159 --> 01:12:33.159 than 30 but it's still not ideal for for 01:12:29.320 --> 01:12:35.440 for gamers that have 144 Herz or 120 HZ 01:12:33.159 --> 01:12:38.000 refresh rate monitors I mean I I think they're still going to be disappointed 01:12:36.560 --> 01:12:41.960 you're going to appease some of the population but uh for the majority it 01:12:40.520 --> 01:12:48.560 just seems like they're trying to cover up their their mistake or or 01:12:45.040 --> 01:12:50.199 whatnot so is it like trying I feel like 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 01:12:53.159 --> 01:12:59.000 mean no no actually never mind I'm changing my mind right now screw that 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 01:13:00.719 --> 01:13:06.199 they should have given 60 at the beginning without without having to come 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 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 01:13:15.320 --> 01:13:22.960 and we expect your full next time Bethesda I have a negative opinion of it 01:13:20.120 --> 01:13:27.120 that's what I've decided yes okay I'm not I'm not 01:13:24.120 --> 01:13:27.120 impressed 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 01:13:32.320 --> 01:13:40.719 the Blackberry Passport with the overwhelming majority saying me or nay 01:13:37.480 --> 01:13:42.840 and 17% saying yay which is interesting 01:13:40.719 --> 01:13:48.400 because 17% of the smartphone market would still be a very viable business 01:13:44.920 --> 01:13:50.560 for Blackberry also amount also I 01:13:48.400 --> 01:13:56.480 realized that I never showed the picture of the extra item from 54 so once again 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 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 01:14:02.280 --> 01:14:10.760 actually looks quite nice so there you go I screwed up all the things once 01:14:07.080 --> 01:14:13.040 again go team 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 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 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 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 01:14:29.639 --> 01:14:38.600 are other problems too you can change the aspect ratio but some gameplay 01:14:35.480 --> 01:14:41.040 prompts appear in the Cinematic black 01:14:38.600 --> 01:14:46.400 bars that are going to only be there if you're running in the correct cinematic 01:14:43.320 --> 01:14:48.199 aspect ratio so you just won't see those 01:14:46.400 --> 01:14:52.040 things if you change the aspect ratio and no that will not be fixed either 01:14:50.080 --> 01:14:55.440 apparently if they were really serious about like wanting to give people a 01:14:53.679 --> 01:14:59.280 better experience of that higher frame rate they would just make it all open 01:14:56.960 --> 01:15:02.760 source so that the modders could go in who were really passionate about it fix 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 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 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 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 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 01:15:22.480 --> 01:15:27.760 that much of Interest I mean Apple pay is coming Monday which is really cool 01:15:25.679 --> 01:15:33.120 they've got hundreds of banks signed up they've got lots of merchants signed up 01:15:30.360 --> 01:15:38.960 um I mean for me personally the time Savings of whipping out my phone and 01:15:36.000 --> 01:15:42.000 trying it first and then realizing that you know half the time plus it's not 01:15:40.679 --> 01:15:47.600 going to work and needing to take out my card anyway is very limited but the 01:15:45.480 --> 01:15:53.560 Privacy improvements do look pretty impressive so Apple basically stores any 01:15:50.880 --> 01:15:57.400 of your card information in that isolated Nonet work connected chip 01:15:56.000 --> 01:16:01.880 that's right on the phone the same place they keep your fingerprint information 01:15:59.800 --> 01:16:06.760 and they share none of this info with the retailer which is which is very very 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 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 01:16:13.840 --> 01:16:19.239 being more easy being easier to steal I 01:16:17.120 --> 01:16:24.239 mean actually there was a leak there was a leak this week wasn't there another 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 01:16:26.800 --> 01:16:31.800 catch that yeah CH are right whatever it 01:16:30.080 --> 01:16:34.920 happens from time to time so the retailer thems wouldn't even need your 01:16:33.480 --> 01:16:40.040 credit card information in order to process your payment which is very cool 01:16:36.960 --> 01:16:42.760 and it's coming also we get a retina 5K 01:16:40.040 --> 01:16:48.600 27in iMac that's super thin comes with mobile 290 gpus and a 295 whatever that 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 01:16:50.440 --> 01:16:57.480 mobile 290 sounds because that's actually a pit Karen GPU so it's very 01:16:53.960 --> 01:16:59.080 similar to a 7 870 actually not really 01:16:57.480 --> 01:17:06.520 that special in terms of performance this is not a mobile 290 to a regular 01:17:02.719 --> 01:17:10.719 290 is not what a mobile you know GTX 01:17:06.520 --> 01:17:14.639 980 is to a desktop gtx980 AMD hasn't 01:17:10.719 --> 01:17:17.280 gotten there yet um so 5K 5120 by 2880 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 01:17:19.320 --> 01:17:25.239 the latest core i7s and that all sounds pretty good if you're one of those 01:17:22.960 --> 01:17:28.639 people who is into all-in On's than having something that just functions as 01:17:26.639 --> 01:17:35.280 a display and then something that you connect to it because that is more 01:17:31.239 --> 01:17:39.280 modular which is good um the the new 01:17:35.280 --> 01:17:41.840 iPad Air 2 and iPad Mini 3 are coming so 01:17:39.280 --> 01:17:46.639 they've sold 225 million iPads evidently since they started selling them which is 01:17:43.600 --> 01:17:49.480 unbelievable that's like eight times the 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 01:17:51.800 --> 01:17:58.239 lot of iPads this this is starting from the very first iPad ever 01:17:56.639 --> 01:18:02.239 so and I think that's something like over four times what Samsung has sold 01:18:00.520 --> 01:18:07.159 total in spite of them having so many models of tablets so it's very very 01:18:05.000 --> 01:18:11.679 impressive and then did you did you happen to hear about the uh the the 01:18:09.159 --> 01:18:16.320 Microsoft Surface Fiasco the deal they signed with the NFL they okay that I 01:18:15.000 --> 01:18:21.560 thought that was yeah with all the commentators calling them iPads on air 01:18:18.280 --> 01:18:23.760 even though yeah I mean the iPad is so 01:18:21.560 --> 01:18:28.560 to the average person it that's just what a tablet is iPad right exactly kex 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 01:18:30.560 --> 01:18:37.280 obviously an iPad's an iPad and other tablets other tablet but no to regular 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 01:18:39.880 --> 01:18:46.800 people so the new iPad Air 2 is 18% thinner the screen is less reflective 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 01:18:49.280 --> 01:18:56.280 find in the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus very interesting not sure uh necessarily 01:18:54.120 --> 01:18:59.440 exactly where those transistors went but performance should be pretty darn 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 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 01:19:08.120 --> 01:19:13.600 Mini got an update with the latest Intel CPUs with Intel Iris Graphics two 01:19:12.159 --> 01:19:16.960 Thunderbolt two ports PCI Express storage and AC Wireless oh yeah the 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 01:19:19.040 --> 01:19:25.000 one the one thing about this whole Apple event that is kind of irritating me is 01:19:23.120 --> 01:19:29.239 since since the new version of the operating system is called Yos I feel 01:19:27.520 --> 01:19:33.760 like they've been co-opting images of Yos and using them for Apple branding 01:19:31.159 --> 01:19:39.120 and it pisses me off Mother Nature is going to sue apple 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 01:19:40.400 --> 01:19:48.600 registered trademark of Yos and and apple and apparently now also an apple 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 01:19:50.239 --> 01:19:55.960 apple is reportedly suing mother nature for the usage of half doome it's it's 01:19:55.000 --> 01:20:00.480 marketing branded okay sorry okay sorry oh yeah I 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 01:20:03.239 --> 01:20:09.120 care heyo 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 01:20:10.760 --> 01:20:16.600 care because I didn't use the old one so all these new amazing differences mean 01:20:14.080 --> 01:20:19.239 nothing to me because I don't have any frustrations with the old one or 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 01:20:21.639 --> 01:20:28.320 that are what they are augmented reality might not be necessarily what we thought 01:20:26.120 --> 01:20:32.480 it was going to be I mean I think that Google Glass looked very augmented 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 01:20:35.800 --> 01:20:43.719 else but there's this is a rumor right now but Google and Others May invest 01:20:40.239 --> 01:20:46.440 five Milli $500 million into augmented 01:20:43.719 --> 01:20:50.920 reality company magic leap who isn't going to be putting a lens in front of 01:20:48.080 --> 01:20:57.840 your eyes but rather is planning to basically beam the image into your eyes 01:20:55.000 --> 01:21:03.040 allegedly solving the need for higher resolution in that Solutions like Oculus 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 01:21:05.239 --> 01:21:11.960 the product display an image into the eye so that instead of having to pull 01:21:08.400 --> 01:21:15.120 out a phone you would just see things in 01:21:11.960 --> 01:21:16.920 the world around you that I mean it's 01:21:15.120 --> 01:21:21.800 funny they're calling it cinematic reality because they think augmented 01:21:18.840 --> 01:21:25.280 reality is a bit of a an undersells the technology a little bit because of how 01:21:23.159 --> 01:21:30.320 realistic it is but I mean this is what it is here's an 01:21:27.760 --> 01:21:34.239 elephant an augmented reality elephant in the hand of someone you can call it 01:21:32.080 --> 01:21:40.239 whatever you want but it's still augmented reality uh looks incredibly 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 01:21:41.800 --> 01:21:47.960 headset and you just see stuff that isn't 01:21:45.560 --> 01:21:53.840 there wow so I'm I'm getting this image in my 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 01:21:55.159 --> 01:22:00.679 just the rows and rows of people you know they're all all in their little 01:21:58.159 --> 01:22:03.840 pods like something like that with all these people and and these little 01:22:02.159 --> 01:22:07.440 devices in front of them just beaming images like directly into their brain 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 01:22:10.199 --> 01:22:16.560 based on this same technology which is going to be a food delivery system that 01:22:14.040 --> 01:22:20.320 puts a tube down your throat and just puts the food directly into your stomach 01:22:19.080 --> 01:22:25.080 that way you don't have to worry about the whole chewing and swallowing thing I 01:22:23.120 --> 01:22:31.280 you could partner with um partner with the guys that make soilent exactly yeah 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 01:22:33.040 --> 01:22:39.719 he like becoming more and more stronger than he has ever been since he seems he 01:22:37.400 --> 01:22:44.520 seems all right he's not entirely on soilent though he does he does eat it 01:22:42.159 --> 01:22:49.560 for you know most of his nutritional stuff but he still eats um but mostly 01:22:47.120 --> 01:22:53.199 just because eating is kind of nice and things taste good and soilent doesn't 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 01:22:56.040 --> 01:23:00.960 he has to feed himself oh okay I just 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 01:23:05.960 --> 01:23:11.400 of lonus feeding Luke with like a big baby bottle or 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 01:23:17.120 --> 01:23:25.880 anyone's head during this show happy to have brought it to all of your 01:23:21.840 --> 01:23:28.760 fans thank you that's what I'm here for 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 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 01:23:37.719 --> 01:23:46.080 the verge.com and this is supposed to be 01:23:42.199 --> 01:23:48.840 a an attempt to take over mobile video 01:23:46.080 --> 01:23:54.080 messaging so it this actually started out as just a video consumption platform 01:23:52.280 --> 01:23:56.800 but oh I just realized I'm not actually screen sharing with you guys so there 01:23:55.360 --> 01:24:03.159 you go they they're showing it running on Windows phone as if that matters iOS 01:23:59.600 --> 01:24:06.560 and Android unless that HTC1 M8 is a 01:24:03.159 --> 01:24:07.840 Windows phone version of the HTC 1 M8 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 01:24:11.679 --> 01:24:19.159 wrong you know it's amazing how many people are hating on me for my 01:24:15.760 --> 01:24:22.000 negativity about the Windows Phone HTC1 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 01:24:24.560 --> 01:24:31.880 anyone owning it ever and people misinterpreted a lot of what I said I 01:24:28.679 --> 01:24:34.719 didn't say Windows 8 phone is a platform 01:24:31.880 --> 01:24:40.600 for nobody what I said was this is a device for nobody a high-end truly 01:24:37.880 --> 01:24:44.920 high-end Premium cost device that run runs Windows phone because the people 01:24:42.679 --> 01:24:49.440 who buy high-end devices are going to have needs for their mobile devices that 01:24:47.080 --> 01:24:54.199 go beyond what Windows phone can do because the app ecosystem is so immature 01:24:52.280 --> 01:24:57.719 speaking of which I'm still super upset that the NFC chip in here only does 01:24:55.880 --> 01:25:00.760 Apple pay and doesn't do other stuff anyway it started as a video streaming 01:24:59.080 --> 01:25:04.400 service was available on mobile devices before YouTube so this is kind of an old 01:25:02.960 --> 01:25:08.239 platform it's all done through your mobile phone number no account sign up 01:25:06.040 --> 01:25:11.480 is necessary it's been being pitched as an alternative to text messaging and can 01:25:10.080 --> 01:25:16.520 easily switch between the front and rear cameras while recording there's no 01:25:13.280 --> 01:25:18.360 preview or processing and it has a 42c 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 01:25:19.760 --> 01:25:28.560 have kick They will receive an SMS with instructions on how to download it it so 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 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 01:25:34.560 --> 01:25:39.960 that instead of an SMS but sure whatever and the messages disappear after two 01:25:38.199 --> 01:25:43.639 weeks if they aren't deleted like practically speaking to me 01:25:42.360 --> 01:25:47.880 this this seems like something that might be a competitor for like Vine or 01:25:45.639 --> 01:25:51.880 something like that but like no because it's messaging not broadcast it's more 01:25:49.880 --> 01:25:56.719 like like like Snapchat it's more like a competitor to Snapchat except can have 01:25:54.800 --> 01:25:59.560 videos of penises instead of pictures of them like is that what we're doing you 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 01:26:01.239 --> 01:26:06.400 mean beautiful the beautiful thing about a text message is when I get a text 01:26:04.639 --> 01:26:10.400 message I can glance at my phone without unlocking without doing anything and it 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 01:26:12.560 --> 01:26:18.360 faster than watching a short video of somebody being like hey man I'll call 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 01:26:20.119 --> 01:26:27.280 video to someone just to tell them that you'll call them later but pred like 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 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 01:26:32.600 --> 01:26:38.280 short message service it's supposed to be like a quick communication a quick 01:26:36.040 --> 01:26:42.119 interaction with someone and this feels this feels like a step backwards this 01:26:39.920 --> 01:26:46.000 feels like video voicemail all right exactly one one 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 01:26:47.480 --> 01:26:52.119 you've never been before and you're meeting someone there for the first time 01:26:50.719 --> 01:26:57.719 you could send them a message and say hey I'm here waiting for you 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 01:26:59.679 --> 01:27:05.000 location they need to see visually where you are 360 degree view you can actually 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 01:27:06.440 --> 01:27:11.960 recognize it when they walk up to the place so you could send them a panoramic 01:27:09.679 --> 01:27:19.480 picture so you can send them a panoramic picture or video you could send them 01:27:14.639 --> 01:27:21.639 three pictures fail Kyle fail no put a 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 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 01:27:27.800 --> 01:27:33.880 or kick I don't care if it's a q I feel 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 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 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 01:27:48.600 --> 01:27:55.239 know about Samsung's VR headset for the note and we know about uh Google 01:27:53.440 --> 01:27:59.000 cardboard which is obviously not going to be the greatest solution ever because 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 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 01:28:06.159 --> 01:28:11.880 the really I can't Mouse over this without this stupid thing well whatever 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 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 01:28:18.440 --> 01:28:25.159 phone as a as VR so that's cool I guess 01:28:22.560 --> 01:28:31.360 moving right along uh PewDiePie may be starting his own YouTube Network so this 01:28:27.280 --> 01:28:33.600 was an interview with um pulse 2.com and 01:28:31.360 --> 01:28:37.040 then he was also on the cover of Icon magazine. this was posted by Tech 01:28:35.360 --> 01:28:42.679 dreamer on the Forum and actually generated a lot of discussion um he 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 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 01:28:48.520 --> 01:28:53.719 Studios in December to create his own network thinks other networks have been 01:28:51.880 --> 01:28:58.560 managed in such an incredibly poor way that it silly and would like to help 01:28:55.920 --> 01:29:04.119 other YouTubers and say what you want about pewes you know how you might like 01:29:01.320 --> 01:29:08.119 or dislike his content or whatever the guy's smart and uh maybe I should join 01:29:07.199 --> 01:29:12.960 his Network how how do you know he's smart 01:29:10.840 --> 01:29:18.520 how do you know he's not just incredibly lucky and remotely attractive for a 01:29:16.119 --> 01:29:25.639 YouTube personality anyone anyone at the top of any field is smart guarantee 01:29:21.400 --> 01:29:27.159 it I I I don't know oom had some some 01:29:25.639 --> 01:29:34.199 Fame there for octom oom yeah but that's not the 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 01:29:36.560 --> 01:29:42.960 a sustained repeated manner beat 01:29:40.639 --> 01:29:46.320 everyone else who competes at something I've seen some actors who who wouldn't 01:29:45.040 --> 01:29:52.159 line up with that but what does PewDiePie do that no one else can do I 01:29:48.920 --> 01:29:54.600 mean hold on a second okay remember some 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 01:29:57.040 --> 01:30:03.719 number one YouTuber Point me at the number one of anything where the 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 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 01:30:10.280 --> 01:30:14.639 on YouTube on Twitch TV I'm still going 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 01:30:17.800 --> 01:30:23.800 moving over to um wow I feel bad for not 01:30:21.119 --> 01:30:26.679 remembering Maker Studios oh okay isn't that isn't that where PewDiePie 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 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 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 01:30:37.199 --> 01:30:44.080 your network replacing PewDiePie on studos 01:30:40.960 --> 01:30:46.080 network sorry I feel I feel bad full 01:30:44.080 --> 01:30:49.719 screen full screen sorry not maker I've talked to every Network at some point 01:30:48.040 --> 01:30:55.920 iny we're on full screen full screen yeah full screen's awesome yeah yeah so 01:30:51.600 --> 01:30:55.920 I um so I might be joining full screen 01:30:56.800 --> 01:31:03.199 okay I I I like full screen I don't have a problem with 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 01:31:04.679 --> 01:31:10.159 Netflix raises the price for 4K video streaming this was posted by Tech 01:31:08.320 --> 01:31:14.360 dreamer on the Forum and this is actually the second price hike we've 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 01:31:17.199 --> 01:31:22.520 time the pricing being very very stable so if you signed up for a 4K enabled 01:31:21.239 --> 01:31:26.600 account already you get to keep your current subscription price until August 01:31:24.440 --> 01:31:31.880 12th 2016 but for new subscribers the monthly price for 4K will be 12 bucks so 01:31:29.320 --> 01:31:36.920 you can enjoy 4K content like Breaking Bad House of Cards and the Smurfs on 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 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 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 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 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 01:31:57.119 --> 01:32:02.639 it's pretty normal but uh yeah this was 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 01:32:04.719 --> 01:32:11.360 who have the capability to watch Netflix in 4k aren't really probably going to be 01:32:09.199 --> 01:32:15.560 too pissed off by three extra dollars a month um I would hope that once it 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 01:32:19.119 --> 01:32:27.000 up for 10 all right so uh next up we've got the 01:32:23.960 --> 01:32:28.960 happening snapsaved images leaked so 500 01:32:27.000 --> 01:32:33.920 Megs of images were leaked according to snapsaved snapav.com is a website that 01:32:31.440 --> 01:32:37.320 allows users to save Snapchat messages and it was compromised their database 01:32:35.800 --> 01:32:40.960 was immediately deleted when the hack was discovered but there are concerns 01:32:39.239 --> 01:32:44.840 that many of the leaked images could be classified as child 01:32:43.000 --> 01:32:48.960 porn so 01:32:48.960 --> 01:32:53.440 yeah that's a that's a messy situation I 01:32:52.280 --> 01:32:57.480 guess that's all there is to really say about that although one Pirate Bay user 01:32:55.880 --> 01:33:01.080 complained that so far from what I've seen the vast majority are just black 01:32:59.520 --> 01:33:05.159 screens with text overlaid or just a normal selfie that would be my initial 01:33:03.880 --> 01:33:10.520 response to be like man the pictures aren't even that good Nexus player is 01:33:08.040 --> 01:33:14.320 coming so this was posted by laws on the Forum the original source is Google's 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 01:33:18.159 --> 01:33:23.440 OU yeah good idea but probably ahead of 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 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 01:33:30.360 --> 01:33:37.199 and a controller the remote has voice search comes with apps such as Netflix 01:33:34.199 --> 01:33:38.600 and Ted there's a full list uh on the on 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 01:33:41.880 --> 01:33:47.960 multiplayer from Google Play games so 01:33:45.239 --> 01:33:52.480 the thing that all consoles should always have forever because it's just 01:33:50.840 --> 01:33:55.119 baffling to me that you have to pay to subscribe to a multiplayer server when 01:33:54.000 --> 01:34:00.800 you already bought the game and you already have your internet connection um 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 01:34:04.560 --> 01:34:12.520 pretty good Wireless solution HDMI out and it'll cost $100 and the controller 01:34:08.679 --> 01:34:13.800 will cost 40 bucks and um one thing 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 01:34:17.639 --> 01:34:23.440 that's a bit of a killer for me oh damn 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 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 01:34:29.199 --> 01:34:34.440 about where people can go watch Kyle make videos that's all right yeah we'll 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 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 01:34:40.480 --> 01:34:46.840 got a better processor and you can actually play games on it and it's only 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 01:34:49.119 --> 01:34:57.280 using your shield and everything to play games like you know uh like do you 01:34:54.280 --> 01:35:00.639 actually play any Android platform games 01:34:57.280 --> 01:35:02.719 or no they're all rubbish yeah so I 01:35:00.639 --> 01:35:08.639 guess that would be my issue would be sure you can play Android games but I 01:35:04.920 --> 01:35:10.639 don't play any Android games so the draw 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 01:35:13.000 --> 01:35:18.880 for me I'd rather spend I think shield shield portable is down to what 200 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 01:35:20.600 --> 01:35:26.800 sure you'd have a lot more flexibility with the what you could play on it 01:35:24.239 --> 01:35:33.600 that's that's for damn sure yep so original article here is from New York 01:35:28.560 --> 01:35:36.000 Times and that is that uh HBO is to 01:35:33.600 --> 01:35:42.600 start their own Standalone streaming service come 01:35:37.960 --> 01:35:44.320 2015 which is um I I guess pretty cool 01:35:42.600 --> 01:35:49.719 uh actually very cool because now you won't have to have a cable subscription 01:35:46.400 --> 01:35:51.400 in order to get access to HBO 01:35:49.719 --> 01:35:56.199 programming um so this intensifies their growing 01:35:53.880 --> 01:36:01.080 rivalry with Netflix hpo is trying to cater to the new generation that doesn't 01:35:58.400 --> 01:36:04.880 have any interest in cable subscriptions I have only had one when my cable 01:36:03.119 --> 01:36:09.360 provider offered it to me for free I watched hockey games that was it 10 01:36:07.199 --> 01:36:13.360 million homes in the US have no cable or satellite subscription but do have 01:36:10.840 --> 01:36:18.880 internet half of those are subscribed to a streaming surface uh surface service 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 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 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 01:36:30.639 --> 01:36:37.320 there's that popular web comic I think it was from the oatmeal where somebody 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 01:36:39.239 --> 01:36:45.239 cracking here sorry but I want to do it legitimately and then this the whole 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 01:36:48.760 --> 01:36:54.639 pirating it this is my only my only issue here that this is going to make 01:36:52.760 --> 01:36:59.199 that argument lot more difficult anyone who Pirates Game of Thrones regularly 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 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 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 01:37:11.119 --> 01:37:16.520 little bit more hyperbole there but just just a bit of embellishment I guess all 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 01:37:18.159 --> 01:37:24.239 incredibly quickly because we've completely run out of time Amazon to 01:37:21.760 --> 01:37:29.880 open a physical store in New York it could act as a way to highlight products 01:37:25.880 --> 01:37:31.600 like Fire TV um this is a breakthrough 01:37:29.880 --> 01:37:36.159 it's a revolutionary uh thing that Amazon has done here yeah opening a 01:37:33.520 --> 01:37:39.320 store maybe New Egg will follow suit and then maybe ncx will open a retail oh 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 01:37:42.280 --> 01:37:51.400 the tech industry yeah all right Corsair RGB keyboards allegedly only producing 01:37:47.760 --> 01:37:54.280 512 colors it is advertised as 01:37:51.400 --> 01:37:58.840 supporting 8 bit color giving 16.8 million total color combinations however 01:37:56.719 --> 01:38:05.040 has been found to support only three bit color giving 512 combinations um to 01:38:03.000 --> 01:38:10.880 people who are sort of blown away by this all I really have to say 01:38:07.320 --> 01:38:12.639 is Corsair is doing what they had to do 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 01:38:14.320 --> 01:38:21.159 advertise 16.8 million RGB Lighting in a 01:38:18.000 --> 01:38:24.239 product when it's obviously not actually 01:38:21.159 --> 01:38:27.280 16.8 million color combinations but like 01:38:24.239 --> 01:38:29.800 let's take H the cable's trapped under 01:38:27.280 --> 01:38:34.040 something here let's take this mouse for example this is a Logitech mouse 01:38:31.639 --> 01:38:37.719 Logitech is a big company a good company good 01:38:35.280 --> 01:38:42.920 people that LED lighting is advertised at 16.8 million there's no way there's 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 01:38:44.159 --> 01:38:50.400 an RGB product drag the color wheel around you know take two yellows that 01:38:48.599 --> 01:38:54.040 are similar and see if you can actually see the difference in the LED there is 01:38:51.880 --> 01:39:00.320 no difference because it does doesn't actually do it it's never actually done 01:38:56.840 --> 01:39:02.639 it and if anything Corsair's transitions 01:39:00.320 --> 01:39:07.040 much more smoothly in my experience than the Black Widow ultimate chroma anyway 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 01:39:09.040 --> 01:39:14.840 wonder how many colors most RGB products 01:39:12.480 --> 01:39:21.480 out there actually support like I said still wrong shame on you Corsair 01:39:18.760 --> 01:39:25.360 but there you go according to the Forum users the issue is that is either the 01:39:23.440 --> 01:39:28.960 they are constrained to the USB protocol that only supports three bits per 01:39:26.520 --> 01:39:33.480 Channel or because the three Panasonic a32 1881 LED Matrix ic's they use to 01:39:31.760 --> 01:39:37.719 control the keyboard are only able to give individual LEDs three bits of 01:39:35.000 --> 01:39:41.639 control per channel so there you go I don't think there's been an official 01:39:38.880 --> 01:39:46.440 statement from Corsair but um yeah future Mark launches the world's 01:39:44.440 --> 01:39:50.239 first 4K Benchmark this was posted by Tech Fanboy on the Forum and it's the 01:39:47.960 --> 01:39:54.119 source is from kit guru.net fir strike Ultra renders the fire strike Benchmark 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 01:39:55.960 --> 01:40:01.080 live there's a JBL special edition of the OnePlus One and earphones but I 01:39:59.800 --> 01:40:09.159 don't really like talking about OnePlus One cuz I think that they're one plus 01:40:05.560 --> 01:40:12.360 one um it is what it is 1 plus 01:40:09.159 --> 01:40:13.520 two that equals two it's the answer to 01:40:12.360 --> 01:40:18.520 the equation Apple patents flexible device 01:40:16.239 --> 01:40:23.280 display input method so the device would react to bending using that as an input 01:40:20.400 --> 01:40:28.480 method very cool and assus stck mechan mechanical keyboards with blue black 01:40:25.080 --> 01:40:30.159 brown and red key switches are either 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 01:40:31.599 --> 01:40:37.400 was posted by quas oh yeah and the Apple patent thing 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 01:40:40.000 --> 01:40:47.719 stricks tactic Pro there we 01:40:44.480 --> 01:40:49.080 go really how how is ASUS and Corsair 01:40:47.719 --> 01:40:54.280 are going to be buddy buddy now that ASUS has like mice and keyboards and 01:40:51.599 --> 01:40:59.119 headsets and headsets and I think they had cases at one point 01:40:56.320 --> 01:41:03.159 didn't they uh they have like I know they have like server cases they sell 01:41:00.920 --> 01:41:07.560 like you know kind of barebone server systems and stuff I'm not sure if they 01:41:05.000 --> 01:41:12.520 have like mainstream consumer gamer cases or anything like that but I on 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 01:41:14.840 --> 01:41:19.400 mechanical it's got some macro keys on the left pricing looks reasonable it's 01:41:18.360 --> 01:41:23.480 got n key rollover and uh it's got three more 01:41:21.840 --> 01:41:27.000 macro keys under the space bar a position that I personally really really 01:41:25.480 --> 01:41:31.000 like for them because whenever you're not jumping you might as well be 01:41:28.760 --> 01:41:36.440 macroing something and more maybe more than one thing and I think that's pretty 01:41:32.920 --> 01:41:38.639 much it for my topic so I guess the the 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 01:41:40.080 --> 01:41:45.280 end the show and then we come back immediately for a quick Afterparty maybe 01:41:43.639 --> 01:41:49.199 you guys can update me on how things are going now that you're free from the 01:41:46.760 --> 01:41:55.239 shackles that bound you of course yeah let's do that so Afterparty we'll be 01:41:50.840 --> 01:41:55.239 back in like a couple seconds here 01:41:56.520 --> 01:41:59.679 never 01:41:59.679 --> 01:42:04.960 this they can hear you by the way damn
