00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:07,680
Linus Tech tips coverage of CES 2014 is brought to you by nc.com your source for

2
00:00:05,319 --> 00:00:12,120
great technology selection and service along with Corsair memory and Western

3
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:15,719
Digital welcome to the Corning Booth where we are going to be having my

4
00:00:13,679 --> 00:00:20,560
lovely assistant show me just how dirty my phone is with is it sorry is it a TPA

5
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:24,960
meter at ATP meter all right so basically what this does is it looks for

6
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:29,000
any kind of organic material on the surface of the glass of my phone and

7
00:00:26,679 --> 00:00:32,920
tells me not necessarily how much of it is dead or alive but simply how much

8
00:00:31,199 --> 00:00:36,239
there is and I mean at a show like Vegas it's probably safe to say that some of

9
00:00:34,719 --> 00:00:39,879
it's alive and some of it is going to get me sick cuz I can already feel a

10
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:43,160
cold coming on anyway so I'll let you go ahead and start swabbing the phone while

11
00:00:41,879 --> 00:00:48,440
we talk a little bit about the technology that is in corning's gorilla

12
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:52,000
glass with antimicrobial agent now this watch right here in the top left has

13
00:00:50,160 --> 00:00:56,039
regular soda lime glass which is an inexpensive alternative to Gorilla Glass

14
00:00:54,719 --> 00:01:00,239
then in the bottom left we see what happens to that glass if you add as much

15
00:00:58,079 --> 00:01:03,719
antimicrobial agent as they did to their own glass it turns yellow which is

16
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:07,240
undesirable from pretty much any perspective in the middle we've got

17
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:10,920
corny and gorilla glass at the top for reference and then at the bottom with an

18
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:14,840
antimicrobial film now this might be effective but unfortunately it gives a

19
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:19,360
very hazy appearance to whatever's behind it in the top right we've got

20
00:01:16,960 --> 00:01:22,680
regular well not regular it's awesome regular Corning Gorilla Glass again and

21
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:27,520
then on the bottom we've got that same glass with their antimicrobial agent and

22
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:32,200
it is just as transparent and strong and flexible and all those great things as B

23
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:36,200
before so something a lot of people don't think about so we're just having

24
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:40,000
the the test completed over here is that is that their phone touches not only

25
00:01:38,079 --> 00:01:45,000
their hands but also their face and all kinds of crazy things you lend it to

26
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:46,960
someone so it can be a um well I guess

27
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:50,719
we'll find out basically that chart behind us is a summary of the people

28
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:55,799
here at the show who have had their phones tested here at the booth so they

29
00:01:53,159 --> 00:02:00,079
we've had levels of ATP as low as kind of 11 to 30 and levels as high as

30
00:01:58,159 --> 00:02:04,840
Apparently one lady licked her phone and got a reading over 2,000 not something

31
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:08,239
Corning or really anyone recommends but there you have it guys that's how uh

32
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:11,800
that's how some people want to be about it so here we go guys let's find out

33
00:02:09,959 --> 00:02:16,280
just how dirty my phone is the ATP once the ATP meter finishes

34
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:22,200
booting up guys we're not going to cut this cuz we want you to know that you know this is you know how how dirty or

35
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:26,680
not dirty I happen to be in the meantime let's talk about what the antimicrobial

36
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:29,920
agent actually does so we had to cut this here guys because we got to be very

37
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:34,800
careful what we say this is the world world 's first EPA approved

38
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:38,400
antimicrobial glass but that you know there are certain words we can't use but

39
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:41,959
what we can say is you can be comforted to know that over the duration of the

40
00:02:40,159 --> 00:02:45,879
lifetime of your device whether you have a high rating or a low rating you can be

41
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:51,280
comforted to know that the antimicrobial agent is always working Thunderbolt 2 my

42
00:02:49,239 --> 00:02:57,239
friends available on the Mac Pro actually available on some PC stuff as

43
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:59,200
well is a very very versatile standard

44
00:02:57,239 --> 00:03:03,040
now it's 20 gbit per second which means you can connect all all kinds of great

45
00:03:00,599 --> 00:03:07,120
stuff including you know u high definition or even greater than high

46
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:10,879
definition cameras capture devices external PCI Express enclosures and all

47
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:14,560
kinds of crazy stuff like that but one of the limitations of Thunderbolt right

48
00:03:12,640 --> 00:03:18,480
now is that particularly with the copper cables available on the market distance

49
00:03:16,920 --> 00:03:23,200
is a problem so if you're setting up something like a little Mac Pro Studio

50
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:27,200
workspace the 3 M maximum distance you can be away from the back of the PC with

51
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:31,519
a copper cable might not be enough to have an efficient workplace so Corning

52
00:03:29,319 --> 00:03:36,280
with their expertise when it comes to materials is releasing Optical

53
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:40,640
Thunderbolt cables that are capable of much much thinner form factors as well

54
00:03:38,879 --> 00:03:45,000
as much longer distances they have a 10 m cable now there's a 30 m cable coming

55
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:49,640
very soon that's correct okay and then they're going to have up to a 60 M cable

56
00:03:47,239 --> 00:03:54,680
coming later this year now you probably know you know or you've heard somewhere

57
00:03:51,879 --> 00:03:57,640
that optimal optical cables can be very fragile don't worry about that guys

58
00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:02,200
they've got a demo here where they're taking their optical cable jamming it

59
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:06,640
into tiny little holes tying it into knots they've got a laser pointer on the

60
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:10,560
one end and you can see that on aside from the optical signal still passing

61
00:04:08,439 --> 00:04:14,319
through there is no leakage at any of those knots so it has still maintains

62
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:19,160
its Integrity if it gets closed in a drawer closed in a door closed in a okay

63
00:04:17,759 --> 00:04:22,400
I'm I'm not going to say any other words that rhyme with that the point is that

64
00:04:20,799 --> 00:04:27,360
it will maintain its data Integrity pretty much regardless of what happens to it but that's not all guys

65
00:04:25,840 --> 00:04:31,759
Thunderbolt needs longer distance and thinner cables but so does USB 3 now to

66
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:36,639
be clear this right here is not corning's product okay this is actually

67
00:04:34,280 --> 00:04:42,639
a copper based active usb3 extension cable it's a 15m cable it's extremely

68
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:44,840
heavy made of copper and also very bulky

69
00:04:42,639 --> 00:04:49,639
for comparison my friends this is corning's usb3 compatible to be clear

70
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:53,800
guys the USB 3 standard doesn't include anything about optical cables so they

71
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:57,360
were kind of like well okay we're big company we can like engineer a solution

72
00:04:55,600 --> 00:05:02,320
here even though it's not in the spec so Corning is releasing their Optical us be

73
00:04:59,919 --> 00:05:06,639
three compatible cables in lengths up to 50 m and we can be expecting those later

74
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:11,160
on in the year you can see they're obviously thinner obviously lighter and

75
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:16,039
of course they're Optical so performance is going to be obviously better thank

76
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:20,000
you well okay to be clear guys it'll still be 5 gbit per second or 10 GB per

77
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:24,120
second or whatever USB 3 ends up becoming but better in terms of you know

78
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:27,680
not having signal degradation over length which is why the copper one is so

79
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:32,919
bulky there there I clarified that anyway guys don't miss any of our CES

80
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:34,840
203 2014 coverage our trip to the show

81
00:05:32,919 --> 00:05:39,080
this year is powered by nc.com your source for great technology selection

82
00:05:36,840 --> 00:05:42,240
and Service as well as Corsair memory and Western Digital a huge thanks to

83
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:46,120
those guys because without them we wouldn't be able to be here
