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

00:00:04.560 --> 00:00:11.440
looking down for the company in a real way apple reduced its revenue forecast

00:00:09.120 --> 00:00:16.320
for the first quarter of 2019 in response to lower than anticipated sales

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

00:00:18.480 --> 00:00:24.640
of the reasons that people are buying fewer iphones is because they're

00:00:21.760 --> 00:00:28.000
repairing old models one of the first examples of apple outright admitting

00:00:26.560 --> 00:00:32.239
that they have a vested interest in making it harder for consumers to repair

00:00:30.080 --> 00:00:35.680
their own devices but cook also noted that in the us and canada the company

00:00:34.079 --> 00:00:40.239
saw a record number of iphone activations on christmas day indicating

00:00:37.920 --> 00:00:44.879
that maybe lower sales are felt mostly in international markets most notably

00:00:42.160 --> 00:00:48.160
china but some analysts note that what's currently affecting apple is a

00:00:46.320 --> 00:00:53.360
phenomenon that was unavoidable the plateauing of innovation in smartphones

00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:57.360
each year there are smaller and smaller differences between the previous serious

00:00:55.120 --> 00:01:02.640
model and the new one leading consumers to hold on to their devices for longer

00:00:59.680 --> 00:01:06.640
and repair them apple might be down but qualcomm apparently feels no shame and

00:01:05.119 --> 00:01:11.920
kicking them while they're down there because they've just posted

00:01:08.680 --> 00:01:14.240
1.34 billion euros required by the

00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:18.159
german courts to enforce a ban on older iphones in the country due to patent

00:01:16.240 --> 00:01:20.560
infringement which we covered before so are we still going to make fun of apple

00:01:19.520 --> 00:01:24.560
now or bless your sweetheart brother yes yes we

00:01:22.560 --> 00:01:30.080
are we'll just feel kind of slightly bad about it facebook google and other web

00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:35.119
giants now have services where users can see how much data the company has on

00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:41.040
them but microsoft is looking to take it to the next level the company is working

00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:43.520
on project bali which will let you not

00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:47.520
only see but control the amount of data that numerous companies have on you

00:01:45.439 --> 00:01:50.640
through a single platform it's very early days for the project as it hasn't

00:01:49.119 --> 00:01:54.399
even been officially announced yet it was actually just spotted by twitter

00:01:52.159 --> 00:01:58.399
user longhorn which was the code name for Windows vista very cool project bali

00:01:56.799 --> 00:02:02.719
would apparently even give users the ability to selectively monetize their

00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:06.079
data choosing which information to sell to advertisers for instance like you

00:02:04.960 --> 00:02:10.399
could sell the fact that you go to starbucks every day but not sell the

00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:14.560
fact that you just feel horrible about it because there is much better coffee

00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:19.200
out there for cheaper oh there is what coffee tons there's lots do you drink

00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:24.080
coffee and just because each new year's phone releases are getting more boring

00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:29.599
doesn't mean they'll always be that way popular and usually somewhat accurate

00:02:27.040 --> 00:02:34.959
leaker evan blass has posted a video showing what is reportedly a xiaomi

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

00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:45.360
pretty dang good one as the screen seems extremely responsive

00:02:43.200 --> 00:02:50.720
samsung meanwhile has had an image leaked of its upcoming galaxy s10 that's

00:02:48.560 --> 00:02:55.840
not the folding one but it does feature its infinity oh camera cutout in the

00:02:53.200 --> 00:03:02.159
display this is apparently the beyond one model a beyond two model aka the s10

00:02:59.200 --> 00:03:06.400
plus will reportedly be available also should be exciting to have phones with

00:03:03.920 --> 00:03:11.200
new features like these for at least like a year anyway

00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:13.040
until nothing matters anymore oh no now

00:03:11.200 --> 00:03:17.920

ifixit.com forward slash Linus or at the link in the video description on to the

00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:56.640
quick beats you know what's just the worst speaking

00:03:54.560 --> 00:04:00.720
to your voice assistant in public and having everyone look at you like you're

00:03:58.480 --> 00:04:05.760
trying to badly cosplay as a star trek character computer embarrass myself

00:04:03.920 --> 00:04:10.720
well microsoft has a solution they've patented what they call silent voice

00:04:08.400 --> 00:04:15.040
input where you could whisper to your smartwatch or phone instead of speaking

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

00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:22.639
user would inhale whisper like

00:04:20.239 --> 00:04:22.639
okay

00:04:24.320 --> 00:04:30.400
much less obvious my phone actually went off so maybe google did it mike google

00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:34.320
got there first in other patent news dell has patented a

00:04:32.639 --> 00:04:40.160
less cool but maybe more realistic version of razer's project valerie the

00:04:37.199 --> 00:04:44.560
laptop with three displays dell's design only has two displays and would fold up

00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:48.800
like a sandwich with two screens on either side of the keyboard and i love

00:04:46.479 --> 00:04:53.360
sandwiches pretty cool it's just a patent so it would probably not be

00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:58.800
present at cex next week and that's probably a good thing because

00:04:54.960 --> 00:04:58.800
then it can't be stolen

00:04:59.600 --> 00:05:06.400
china has landed the jade rabbit 2

00:05:02.800 --> 00:05:08.960
rover on the far side of the moon a

00:05:06.400 --> 00:05:13.520
world first in space exploration china's chief designer for the lunar exploration

00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:18.479
project told cctv that the success of a mission is one small step for the rover

00:05:16.160 --> 00:05:23.280
but one giant leap for the chinese nation not mankind got it and he also

00:05:20.960 --> 00:05:28.160
said it's a decisive move for our exploration of space and conquering the

00:05:26.080 --> 00:05:30.960
universe okay okay

00:05:29.840 --> 00:05:35.199
cool more microsoft news the company is

00:05:32.960 --> 00:05:38.400
making Windows 10 installation great again

00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:44.240
by turning off that annoying feature that has cortana pipe up and try to help

00:05:41.199 --> 00:05:46.639
you unfortunately only pro enterprise

00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:51.440
and education versions of the Windows the Windows 10 that'll fangled

00:05:49.520 --> 00:05:55.440
will have the feature disabled the rest of us will still have company while

00:05:53.440 --> 00:06:01.039
we're installing whether we want it or not need some help

00:05:57.520 --> 00:06:03.440
nope and also unfortunately somehow the

00:06:01.039 --> 00:06:07.759
horrible saga of the Windows 10 october update is still

00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:12.960
not over as reports are emerging that the update which has now begun to

00:06:10.080 --> 00:06:17.680
officially roll out again is disabling some users administrator accounts which

00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:20.960
is a problem to say the least that's a big deal

00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:26.800
thankfully it should only affect a limited number of users updating

00:06:22.960 --> 00:06:30.639
directly from the april update aka 1803

00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:32.880
1803 1803 people who purposefully

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

00:06:35.280 --> 00:06:42.720
try Linux but before that happens this episode has

00:06:40.639 --> 00:06:47.199
to end thanks for watching guys and come back on monday for the first
