1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:06,560
we love to make fun of apple around here but it looks like things may actually be

2
00:00:04,560 --> 00:00:11,440
looking down for the company in a real way apple reduced its revenue forecast

3
00:00:09,120 --> 00:00:16,320
for the first quarter of 2019 in response to lower than anticipated sales

4
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:20,160
and now ceo tim cook has weighed in on what could have caused it cook says one

5
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:24,640
of the reasons that people are buying fewer iphones is because they're

6
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:28,000
repairing old models one of the first examples of apple outright admitting

7
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:32,239
that they have a vested interest in making it harder for consumers to repair

8
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:35,680
their own devices but cook also noted that in the us and canada the company

9
00:00:34,079 --> 00:00:40,239
saw a record number of iphone activations on christmas day indicating

10
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:44,879
that maybe lower sales are felt mostly in international markets most notably

11
00:00:42,160 --> 00:00:48,160
china but some analysts note that what's currently affecting apple is a

12
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:53,360
phenomenon that was unavoidable the plateauing of innovation in smartphones

13
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:57,360
each year there are smaller and smaller differences between the previous serious

14
00:00:55,120 --> 00:01:02,640
model and the new one leading consumers to hold on to their devices for longer

15
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:06,640
and repair them apple might be down but qualcomm apparently feels no shame and

16
00:01:05,119 --> 00:01:11,920
kicking them while they're down there because they've just posted

17
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:14,240
1.34 billion euros required by the

18
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:18,159
german courts to enforce a ban on older iphones in the country due to patent

19
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:20,560
infringement which we covered before so are we still going to make fun of apple

20
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:24,560
now or bless your sweetheart brother yes yes we

21
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:30,080
are we'll just feel kind of slightly bad about it facebook google and other web

22
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:35,119
giants now have services where users can see how much data the company has on

23
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:41,040
them but microsoft is looking to take it to the next level the company is working

24
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:43,520
on project bali which will let you not

25
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:47,520
only see but control the amount of data that numerous companies have on you

26
00:01:45,439 --> 00:01:50,640
through a single platform it's very early days for the project as it hasn't

27
00:01:49,119 --> 00:01:54,399
even been officially announced yet it was actually just spotted by twitter

28
00:01:52,159 --> 00:01:58,399
user longhorn which was the code name for Windows vista very cool project bali

29
00:01:56,799 --> 00:02:02,719
would apparently even give users the ability to selectively monetize their

30
00:02:00,799 --> 00:02:06,079
data choosing which information to sell to advertisers for instance like you

31
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:10,399
could sell the fact that you go to starbucks every day but not sell the

32
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:14,560
fact that you just feel horrible about it because there is much better coffee

33
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:19,200
out there for cheaper oh there is what coffee tons there's lots do you drink

34
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:24,080
coffee and just because each new year's phone releases are getting more boring

35
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:29,599
doesn't mean they'll always be that way popular and usually somewhat accurate

36
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:34,959
leaker evan blass has posted a video showing what is reportedly a xiaomi

37
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:40,640
folding phone but instead of one bend it has two bends if it is a fake it's a

38
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:45,360
pretty dang good one as the screen seems extremely responsive

39
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:50,720
samsung meanwhile has had an image leaked of its upcoming galaxy s10 that's

40
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:55,840
not the folding one but it does feature its infinity oh camera cutout in the

41
00:02:53,200 --> 00:03:02,159
display this is apparently the beyond one model a beyond two model aka the s10

42
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:06,400
plus will reportedly be available also should be exciting to have phones with

43
00:03:03,920 --> 00:03:11,200
new features like these for at least like a year anyway

44
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:13,040
until nothing matters anymore oh no now

45
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:17,920
it's time for quick beats brought to you by the marlin

hangs onto tiny screws with a steel grip

54
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:56,640
quick beats you know what's just the worst speaking

55
00:03:54,560 --> 00:04:00,720
to your voice assistant in public and having everyone look at you like you're

56
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:05,760
trying to badly cosplay as a star trek character computer embarrass myself

57
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:10,720
well microsoft has a solution they've patented what they call silent voice

58
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:15,040
input where you could whisper to your smartwatch or phone instead of speaking

59
00:04:12,799 --> 00:04:20,239
aloud but to avoid distortion on the mic from your mouth being so close to it the

60
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:22,639
user would inhale whisper like

61
00:04:20,239 --> 00:04:22,639
okay

62
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:30,400
much less obvious my phone actually went off so maybe google did it mike google

63
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:34,320
got there first in other patent news dell has patented a

64
00:04:32,639 --> 00:04:40,160
less cool but maybe more realistic version of razer's project valerie the

65
00:04:37,199 --> 00:04:44,560
laptop with three displays dell's design only has two displays and would fold up

66
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:48,800
like a sandwich with two screens on either side of the keyboard and i love

67
00:04:46,479 --> 00:04:53,360
sandwiches pretty cool it's just a patent so it would probably not be

68
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:58,800
present at cex next week and that's probably a good thing because

69
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:58,800
then it can't be stolen

70
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:06,400
china has landed the jade rabbit 2

71
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:08,960
rover on the far side of the moon a

72
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:13,520
world first in space exploration china's chief designer for the lunar exploration

73
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:18,479
project told cctv that the success of a mission is one small step for the rover

74
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:23,280
but one giant leap for the chinese nation not mankind got it and he also

75
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:28,160
said it's a decisive move for our exploration of space and conquering the

76
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:30,960
universe okay okay

77
00:05:29,840 --> 00:05:35,199
cool more microsoft news the company is

78
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:38,400
making Windows 10 installation great again

79
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:44,240
by turning off that annoying feature that has cortana pipe up and try to help

80
00:05:41,199 --> 00:05:46,639
you unfortunately only pro enterprise

81
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:51,440
and education versions of the Windows the Windows 10 that'll fangled

82
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:55,440
will have the feature disabled the rest of us will still have company while

83
00:05:53,440 --> 00:06:01,039
we're installing whether we want it or not need some help

84
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:03,440
nope and also unfortunately somehow the

85
00:06:01,039 --> 00:06:07,759
horrible saga of the Windows 10 october update is still

86
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:12,960
not over as reports are emerging that the update which has now begun to

87
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:17,680
officially roll out again is disabling some users administrator accounts which

88
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:20,960
is a problem to say the least that's a big deal

89
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:26,800
thankfully it should only affect a limited number of users updating

90
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:30,639
directly from the april update aka 1803

91
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:32,880
1803 1803 people who purposefully

92
00:06:30,639 --> 00:06:38,000
enabled the built-in admin account but still it's enough to make a guy want to

93
00:06:35,280 --> 00:06:42,720
try Linux but before that happens this episode has

94
00:06:40,639 --> 00:06:47,199
