11
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:47,760
disgracefully mainstream so don't don't wor oh I like phones and headphones

12
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:52,680
don't worry I'm still interested in graphics cards tons of rumors

13
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:56,160
circulating about the Radeon r9290 as

14
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:57,520
well as the GTX 780 Ti so we can talk a

15
00:00:56,160 --> 00:01:02,920
little bit about the rumors but we won't be able to confirm anything because we are still under

16
00:01:00,519 --> 00:01:07,119
on a lot of those details which we do have we know

17
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:11,640
everything our special guest this week is John ringer from TechnoBuffalo also

18
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:16,119

00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:24,840
understand they need to be back home and doing what he needs to do as quickly as

21
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:29,280
possible uh what are what are our other topics for this week There's PS4 has

22
00:01:27,159 --> 00:01:33,600
some interesting audio stuff going on which is actually kind of like super

23
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:38,399
disappoint they're not going to support uh

24
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:41,720
MP3s can we put on our snobby PC Gamer

25
00:01:38,399 --> 00:01:44,159
hats we are the PC Master race yeah PC

26
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:50,119
Master race hat and our our PCS they support MP3 yeah they support MP3s

27
00:01:46,399 --> 00:01:52,719
indeed um PS4 will have an audio

28
00:01:50,119 --> 00:01:58,960
streaming service through PlayStation which is totally unrelated to MP3 is not

29
00:01:56,320 --> 00:02:01,840
really working yeah more on that later also phone blocks is going to be a thing

30
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:06,039
now foam block has partnered up with Motorola and project sticky which is now

31
00:02:04,159 --> 00:02:11,280
called Project Ara so we'll talk about that soon all right so without further

32
00:02:07,719 --> 00:02:14,370
Ado it's intro time

33
00:02:37,519 --> 00:02:43,159
so guys our sponsor this week is Hotspot

34
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:46,280
Shield you can get 20% off Elite prices with offer code Linus by signing up at

35
00:02:45,159 --> 00:02:51,400
bit. lehs share Hotspot Shield is a VPN

36
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:54,640
solution that works on your PC your Mac your phone your tablet pretty much

37
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:59,000
whatever you could possibly want and does what most VPN Solutions do which is

38
00:02:56,599 --> 00:03:02,519
to obscure your IP address from the websites that you you visit this makes

39
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:06,360
it more difficult to track who you are and where you're from and also allows

40
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:11,080
you to circumvent Regional restrictions such as being able to access services

41
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:15,640
that are blacklisted in your country or even getting around Regional changes to

42
00:03:13,519 --> 00:03:20,560
services in your particular geography so for example Canadians or Europeans would

43
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:24,319
be able to access Netflix as if they were Americans and get access to all

44
00:03:22,239 --> 00:03:28,879
that fantastic content that for some reason only Americans are allowed to

45
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:32,599
have well it makes well I understand why but that doesn't make me have to like it

46
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:36,840
no no no I do not have to like it so I'm going to let you get started with our

47
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:41,680
first topic of the day which is active steam members

48
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:43,519
surpass Xbox Live members so it

49
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:47,439
surpassed Xbox Live members by like a lot I think this wasn't like oh they

50
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:51,560
passed let's make an article immediately it was more like oh they've been quite

51
00:03:49,519 --> 00:03:57,280
above for a while so active steam members is about uh 65 million Xbox

52
00:03:54,439 --> 00:04:02,159
active members at about 48 million and PSN is about 110 something to take away

53
00:04:00,159 --> 00:04:06,599
from this is that to be registered as an Xbox Live active member you would have

54
00:04:04,159 --> 00:04:09,560
to have a gold or silver account um I don't know that many that people that

55
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:15,560
have silver accounts but I haven't been on Xbox Live since like a long time ago

56
00:04:12,239 --> 00:04:17,919
so maybe that's more popular now um

57
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:23,840
about 20 million of the Xbox subscribers are paid subscribers so gold accounts um

58
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:28,800
but then that pales in contrast to PSN which is at 110 million because it's

59
00:04:25,840 --> 00:04:33,759
free so there is a ton of steam users and I'm happy with this news because I'm

60
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:35,800
a bro for steam but I don't know how

61
00:04:33,759 --> 00:04:38,840
realistic it really is because I don't think it's actually a representation of

62
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:42,560
how many people actually playing on those devices yeah and it's one of those

63
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:46,600
things where I look at it and I go okay I mean you look at app Developers for

64
00:04:44,199 --> 00:04:51,560
example for Android versus iOS where what they'll say is okay yes we

65
00:04:50,039 --> 00:04:57,000
understand that there are a whole whack ton of people who are using Android

66
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:59,400
devices but the cold hard truth is that

67
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:03,600
iPhone users buy more stuff they're more in Ed in the platform so I would look at

68
00:05:01,199 --> 00:05:08,919
it and I'd go okay so steam you've got three times as many users no sorry not

69
00:05:05,759 --> 00:05:12,000
three times okay compared to paid so

70
00:05:08,919 --> 00:05:13,759
that is Xbox Live Gold members you have

71
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:16,240
three times as many users but how many of those people that are invested in the

72
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:21,199
platform to the point where they're paying a monthly subscription to even

73
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:24,039
have the membership level they do I mean to them what's another few bucks if

74
00:05:22,840 --> 00:05:29,759
they're buying apps or they're buying games or whatever else compared to someone who created a steam account and

75
00:05:28,199 --> 00:05:32,759
I think I think has a steam account pretty sure the silver members can buy

76
00:05:31,479 --> 00:05:38,039
things they just can't play in the online servers but How likely are they

77
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:39,639
to How likely is a free member to to

78
00:05:38,039 --> 00:05:43,880
actually invest additional money versus someone that's already put down money

79
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:48,440
and then that's kind of the same but not as Steam because to be able to be set up

80
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:52,800
on Steam properly you probably have games right so you're not necessarily

81
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:56,960
funneling your money through Steam because you can get uh game Keys

82
00:05:54,759 --> 00:06:00,240
elsewhere but I would have to assume that steam would still get some sort of

83
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:04,280
a cut from it we need to find like one of those uh one of those cheap game key

84
00:06:02,319 --> 00:06:08,160
services to like partner with and do affiliate programs or something with

85
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:12,400
there ways to get cheaper games and they pay huge commissions to influencers who

86
00:06:10,840 --> 00:06:16,639
are like hey by the way you're buying Battlefield 4 anyway you might as well

87
00:06:14,039 --> 00:06:20,120
save $10 and then also like us we'll get some money too we got that would be a

88
00:06:18,599 --> 00:06:24,440
not bad idea we have to do that at some point should I've been meaning to do it

89
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:28,440
for a while I know Logan uh Logan has has one of those Partnerships and he was

90
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:32,360
saying that it's like really okay all right all right

91
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:38,720
anyway so the most played game on Steam right now at the moment is Dota 2 with

92
00:06:35,280 --> 00:06:41,280
500,000 daily users which is a massive

93
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:44,919
absolutely massive number and as much as I was tempering the enthusiasm a little

94
00:06:43,280 --> 00:06:48,240
bit there compared to how excited we could have been about this I think that

95
00:06:46,639 --> 00:06:53,000
the trend is definitely going in the right direction and steam isn't even the

96
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:58,440
only platform I know it's the 800 PB gorilla compared to origin or you play

97
00:06:55,720 --> 00:07:02,599
but origin's getting bigger by forcing people to go on it though do stuff like

98
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:07,039
Battlefield valve did the same thing hello I mean I'm not saying it's it

99
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:10,120
wasn't that long ago that Gamers were equally upset with valve for the way

100
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:16,680
that they were making them I'm putting on my PC Gamer Master Bas I can't it

101
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:17,960
doesn't like yeah okay whatever but uh

102
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:24,080
yeah it wasn't that long that valve was doing exactly the same thing so we can't really criticize them too I mean we can

103
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:27,840
criticize EA a lot yep but we do I think that yeah and you play honestly you play

104
00:07:26,039 --> 00:07:31,560
is kind of terrible too I know I know it's it's very Terri I'm taking

105
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:36,240
really hard to manage and it's like really hard to redeem codes and yeah all

106
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:41,919
right so why don't we invite our special guest who uh wife is apparently exactly

107
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:45,840
like mine because uh she wants him home at a reasonable time tonight it kind of

108
00:07:43,879 --> 00:07:51,080
makes sense oh it makes uh all the all the sense in the world to defend the the

109
00:07:48,479 --> 00:07:56,400
the W ladies out there oh oh absolutely I mean uh you know expecting your

110
00:07:53,759 --> 00:08:01,720
husband to be involved in the rearing of his child totally unreasonable obviously

111
00:07:59,879 --> 00:08:06,000
and I'm sure John will be with me 100% on this because I'm sure his wife isn't

112
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:08,879
watching this stream hello John are you live with us right

113
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:18,280

week old bundle of joy that you have going on over there I live in constant

120
00:08:40,279 --> 00:08:46,279
fear of being pooped on you know you

121
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:52,399
never would have thought that poop had a projectile range but I swear I saw Poop

122
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:55,880
Shoot about six feet I mean and like

123
00:08:52,399 --> 00:08:58,279

wall it's been it's been good little uh our little guy will be six weeks on on

125
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:07,959
Sunday last night he slept for about five hours which seemed like winning the

126
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:12,360
lottery so that means you slept for like three hours because you spent the first

127
00:09:09,680 --> 00:09:17,040
two hours laying there in fear that he wasn't actually asleep yet spoken like a

128
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:20,399
man who's been there is he asleep is he gonna wake up

129

not listening to the show but yeah I've definitely uh pulled pulled that one

158
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:28,079
like I'm sorry like like the well the Well's dry

159
00:11:25,680 --> 00:11:32,639
here I can only I can only do what I can do all right so I know you've had I know

160
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:36,440
for a fact you've had less time than you're used to in your life to pay

161
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:41,160
attention to what's going on in the tech world but let's start with your article

162
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:44,560
actually about the Nexus 5 so I'm just gonna oh my goodness we don't have our

163
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:48,800
guest lower third that's John he's he's joining us anyway so let's uh let's fire

164
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:53,920
over to that article really quick here so it sold out in less than an hour is

165
00:11:52,279 --> 00:11:57,279
this about what you were expecting yeah I'm actually surprised it

166
00:11:55,959 --> 00:12:01,399
lasted that long if I remember correctly an Nexus 4 sold out it sort of equally

167
00:11:58,959 --> 00:12:04,160
as fast I mean Google did a crazy job of hying this thing up without really

168
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:08,760
officially saying a words everybody was expecting it kind of any minute um so

169
00:12:06,839 --> 00:12:11,360
yeah I'm was not surprised that it uh that it sold out and first impressions

170
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:15,560
are it sold out for a reason it's a really great phone it looks really

171
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:19,880
compelling considering the price point does it not yeah the price Point's

172
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:24,279
killer I'm actually can't see but I'm holding it in my hand I'm holding it up

173
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:28,959
to my my webcam that you can't see uh in homage 349 bucks is a killer price point

174
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:33,600
you figure on contract two-year deal you know this probably be about $150 to $200

175
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:37,639
phone so for the extra 150 bucks you know you don't have to sign a two-year

176
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:40,760
contract just um which is awesome I you don't want it sell it the Nexus devices

177
00:12:39,399 --> 00:12:46,399
you know hold their value similar to Apple's um you know so sell it in a year

178
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:47,560
it's it's a pretty a nice phone uh you

179
00:12:46,399 --> 00:12:50,839
know I want to put it through its Paces before I do a review we always sort of

180
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:54,839
take longer with our reviews and we'll tell the audience how long we we use the

181
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:58,480
device before we just sort of rush to get best SEO and put up a review like

182
00:12:56,600 --> 00:13:02,480
four minutes later that is such a great approach and you know what um we've only

183
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:07,000
recently started dabbling in phones a little bit because I was never really a

184
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:11,959
phone guy and I mean the the perspective I bring is not the experienced phone guy

185
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:15,959
perspective but what I do is I I I force myself to take out my SIM from my phone

186
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:20,120
that I use and put it in the new one and I kind of go if I'm not willing to do

187
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:24,240
this then how can I really say that I reviewed this device if I didn't

188
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:29,880
actually even commit to use the thing so I respect that so much because SEO is

189
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:33,480
great but it's not the be all and end all no thank you thank you very much

190
00:13:31,639 --> 00:13:37,320
it's a dirty Secret in our industry that folks from other sites that I won't

191
00:13:35,079 --> 00:13:40,880
mention uh you know will rush to get a review up um without really using the

192
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:44,360
device I uh again won't mention any names but I've been at events where you

193
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:50,040
know we've been handed at a phone and other Publications to been handed a phone you know the exact same time yeah

194
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:53,720
their review will go up the next day and will have cited 48 Hours of battery life

195
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:57,639
and you know what I'm not like I'm not a math major but that that does not add up

196
00:13:56,279 --> 00:14:01,560
and you know the funny thing is I think it's a lot of the I think it's a lot of

197
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:05,079
the old media mentality here where these I I think it's a lot of the traditional

198
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:09,639
Tech Guys where they're used to something like a graphics card where all

199
00:14:07,199 --> 00:14:12,720
you have to do is Benchmark it and you measure the power consumption you

200
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:16,600
measure the performance and really that's all there is to know about it but

201
00:14:14,199 --> 00:14:19,199
to me a phone I go out of my way to actually again this is I'm not a

202
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:23,560
hardcore guy I don't even really talk about the specs I go this is how it felt

203
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:26,399
in my hand and this is what I thought of something I noticed that was different

204
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:29,560
and that's all I really have to say about it and I think that there's room

205
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:33,199
for the hardcore Tech guys that are running all the benchmarks

206
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:37,759
there's room for the guys that are doing the indepth plus the real world I

207
00:14:36,279 --> 00:14:42,480
actually used this thing stuff like what you do and I think there's room for the casuals but the guys that really offend

208
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:48,440
me are the ones that are saying things without actually validating it I could

209
00:14:44,959 --> 00:14:49,680
not could not agree with you more uh on

210
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:54,480
that I mean you can't just make up numbers you can't say the battery sucks because we tried to play a video for 14

211
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:58,880
hours and died after eight it's on how people use their phones

212
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:02,399
exactly you know I want to know if I can get through a full day with you know

213
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:05,199
being on Wi-Fi for eight hours and an hour phone call and Tech can I get

214
00:15:04,079 --> 00:15:11,519
through a full day I'm not going to spend most of my day watching you know 12 hours of video on my phone like give

215
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:14,920
me this fat stuff that matter you just don't know a device until you actually

216
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:18,079
use it and rushing to get stuff out I think makes our whole industry look bad

217
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:21,800
it's it's dishonest to the audience let's talk about using the Nexus 5 this

218
00:15:20,199 --> 00:15:25,759
is something that I've been thinking about for a little while I actually just

219
00:15:23,839 --> 00:15:30,000
recently got my hands on a Moto X because I'm not high priority like you I

220
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:36,199
actually have to buy most of my phones and my take on that was do we really

221
00:15:33,079 --> 00:15:38,120
need a 1080p screen in the 4.7 in or 5

222
00:15:36,199 --> 00:15:42,680
in form factor what are your thoughts on this and maybe I I will tell you this we

223
00:15:41,079 --> 00:15:45,920
we have the privilege of having access to to pretty much every mobile device

224
00:15:44,519 --> 00:15:49,639
out there in our office it's it's a really it's a privilege and an honor

225
00:15:48,279 --> 00:15:54,240
it's a double- edged sword as what it actually is you know that yeah

226
00:15:52,240 --> 00:16:00,000
absolutely but one that I I really sort of high and high esteem two out the

227
00:15:56,440 --> 00:16:01,440
people in our office are using Moto xes

228
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:07,480
if that tells me and they're using it as their regular phone when they have access to anything else um so if that

229
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:12,519
tells you anything perception of the device it just works it works well um

230
00:16:10,839 --> 00:16:17,399
you know you don't have to have quad cord have a good experience on a phone

231
00:16:14,199 --> 00:16:19,000
you just don't that is so true I mean

232
00:16:17,399 --> 00:16:23,480
you know what this ties into something I really wanted to talk about with respect

233
00:16:20,399 --> 00:16:26,440
to Nexus 5 as well is are we finally

234
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:30,240
seeing the commoditization of the cell phone in much the same way that the PC

235
00:16:28,519 --> 00:16:34,120
was Comm commoditized and then the laptop was commoditized and even every

236
00:16:32,079 --> 00:16:39,120
component of the PC I mean for a while I don't know how closely you follow PCS

237
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:41,000
but ssds and high performance ssds were

238
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:45,279
a big deal for a while and then all of a sudden overnight Samsung took over the

239
00:16:43,199 --> 00:16:49,480
market completely with commodity ssds that performed well enough and were

240
00:16:47,079 --> 00:16:53,680
priced very reasonably is this the beginning of the end where we see phones

241
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:57,720
like Moto X that don't compete on spec and we see phones like Nexus 5 that come

242
00:16:55,839 --> 00:17:02,120
in and frankly take all of the margin out of the phone that guys like Samsung

243
00:16:59,519 --> 00:17:06,319
have enjoyed for so long are we there are they just fast enough and are they

244
00:17:03,399 --> 00:17:10,760
commodity now so it's yes and no so yes for the technolog it's out there right

245
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:13,039
now it's no until the next SSD comes out

246
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:16,880
it's no until everybody's rushing to have uh flexible displays and flexible

247
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:22,240
batteries it's no until people are trying to get nearfield uh cameras built

248
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:25,799
into devices um until the next big thing hits then yeah I absolutely think so but

249
00:17:24,319 --> 00:17:29,160
until there's that next whatever Rush it's going to be whatever sort of fake

250
00:17:27,559 --> 00:17:34,600
rush they make the consumer think have to have um you know I uh I think it's

251
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:38,240
only a matter of maybe months not years before that that next thing shows its

252
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:42,160
face do you think the consumer is more Savvy to the these days I mean

253
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:47,960
look how long they've been trying to cram 4k on TVs down our throats without

254
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:51,799
any content available and with extremely high prices on TVs in much the same way

255
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:56,159
that they were used to being able to charge so much for a flat panel and then

256
00:17:53,880 --> 00:18:00,640
so much for a full HD one and then etc etc etc and people just aren't doing it

257
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:04,440
anymore are are we past that or do you think that mobile is not at that

258
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:11,600
saturation Point yet yeah so I think it's the industry so I think when it comes to TVs and purchase that you make

259
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:14,200
maybe once every 10 uh people are maybe

260
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:16,640
not smarter but pay closer attention with their wallet because those are real

261
00:18:15,360 --> 00:18:21,360
dollars I mean you're talking thousands and thousands of dollars uh so I think

262
00:18:19,120 --> 00:18:25,240
people aren't as easily duped look at 3D like 3D is supposed to be the giant

263
00:18:22,799 --> 00:18:31,559
thing everybody's got to have 3d 3d 3d 3d and really not many people cared that

264
00:18:29,039 --> 00:18:35,159
much about 3D no I mean part of the problem to me was the implementations

265
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:38,840
were so fragmented and so terrible I mean we see this happen in the industry

266
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:42,760
over and over again where no one can agree on a bloody standard and then the

267
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:46,799
whole thing flops yeah no you're absolutely right

268
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:51,200
and when it comes to the mobile world I think customers are are more easily

269
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:56,039
duped uh and it's such a weird world in Mobile people feel entitled to to things

270
00:18:54,360 --> 00:19:00,559
you know I signed a two-year contract two years ago for my phone where's my

271
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:04,360
KitKat update uh or or so loyal to an operating system you know if you like

272
00:19:02,159 --> 00:19:07,320
apple and I like Android where mortal enemies I mean it's could you imagine

273
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:12,400
that same Dynamic when you go grocery shopping like somebody buys a Milky Way and you're a Snickers guy and you just

274
00:19:09,919 --> 00:19:17,760
start like screaming at him like how how dare you like Snickers Milky Way is is

275
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:23,159
obviously the best you you must be just a gigantic you know ass

276
00:19:20,679 --> 00:19:26,159
face that is fantastic because you know what it's funny because so many things

277
00:19:24,559 --> 00:19:31,200
on the internet are like that where if people actually behaved that way to each

278
00:19:28,360 --> 00:19:36,480
other I can you can you imagine being on the subway and seeing someone you know I

279
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:40,720
mean okay let's say 10 years ago seeing someone with a Sony disman versus a

280
00:19:38,679 --> 00:19:44,440
Panasonic disman and ending up in a fist fight over

281
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:47,360
it no you the only thought would have been like wow does that thing skip when

282
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:52,240
you walk you know you're never like looking

283
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:56,520
like what it is it is so crazy the internet mentality and sort of the

284
00:19:54,600 --> 00:20:01,120
entitlement that that people somehow feel that seems to be really exclusive

285
00:19:58,360 --> 00:20:06,919
to to mobile and maybe gaming as well gaming is a big one a strange phenomenon

286
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:09,200
it's like I paid $60 for this game five

287
00:20:06,919 --> 00:20:13,360
years ago why isn't the game developer still supporting servers out of their

288
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:18,120
own pocket yeah why don't I have backwards compatibility PS4 with my PS1

289
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:23,440
masters of teros C game I bought you know 48 years ago you

290
00:20:20,559 --> 00:20:28,720
know it's just it's a very strange uh Strange World I much as I try

291
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:32,360
I still don't understand it and the funny thing is your entire job is to

292
00:20:30,559 --> 00:20:37,360
demystify it for other people so way to go smart guy yeah yeah but that's that

293
00:20:35,120 --> 00:20:41,080
is my one job I'm like I'm like I cannot figure you guys out like I love the

294
00:20:38,919 --> 00:20:44,760
audience they are incredible they put food on my table they give me a chance

295
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:47,840
to live my dream but some of them I just don't understand the mentality like if

296
00:20:46,559 --> 00:20:52,240
that translated to anything else it would just it wouldn't work now let's

297
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:58,280
talk about entitlement and support for lower end devices Android 4.4 KitKat um

298
00:20:56,720 --> 00:21:01,440
there was a leak that we're looking at some unexpected improvements I'm just

299
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:05,679
going to pull up the article here really quick this was posted on the Forum by mg

300
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:09,200
star so we're just going to go ahead and go back to our guest here so the

301
00:21:06,919 --> 00:21:12,880
original Source was in gadget and we're looking at I mean obviously you've heard

302
00:21:11,159 --> 00:21:16,880
of this so why don't you give me your thoughts on this uh Revelation that

303
00:21:15,120 --> 00:21:20,760
they're looking to optimize particularly memory use to the point where we could

304
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:26,000
see devices that only have around 512 Megs of RAM still operate

305
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:29,480
smoothly so I think as annoyed as consumers are with Android

306
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:33,760
fragmentations I think Google is more annoyed with Android fragmentation uh

307
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:37,360
and I think they're trying to have more control uh over the operating system

308
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:41,679
there's a big misconception that Android is open source uh Android is is not

309
00:21:40,039 --> 00:21:47,480
truly open source they release the source code but it's not open source uh

310
00:21:45,159 --> 00:21:51,159
so I think they're trying to uh limit fragmentation and they've done a

311
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:55,880
incredible job of memory management uh with Android 4.4 so hopefully they're

312
00:21:53,120 --> 00:21:58,919
saying okay 4.4 can run on more devices then app developers can be able to

313
00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:03,000
support more devices they make more money because more apps can be purchased

314
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:07,559
on those older devices so it boils down to a dollars um decision for for Google

315
00:22:06,279 --> 00:22:12,000
but certainly helps the consumer in the long run as well that's an absolutely fantastic point and actually ties into

316
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:18,880
something we were saying before you joined us on the show with respect to steam members versus Xbox Live members

317
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:23,480
where those steam members are the part of this fragmented ecosystem that maybe

318
00:22:21,799 --> 00:22:27,960
some game is released are you really pushing it out to 65 million potential

319
00:22:25,679 --> 00:22:31,600
people whereas on Xbox you know that every single one of those members is

320
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:35,640
actually capable of of buying the the app or the game or whatever else it is

321
00:22:33,559 --> 00:22:41,000
that you uh that you happen to be that you happen to be looking at so how much

322
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:44,559
of this do you think is actually focused on smartphones and lower-end or older

323
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:48,919
smartphones and how much of of this do you think is gearing up for a Google

324
00:22:46,559 --> 00:22:53,039
glass or Smartwatch release coming in 2014 that's so so that's the big one I

325
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:56,440
think it's me necessarily starting from here on out I think it's it's a

326
00:22:54,960 --> 00:23:00,799
two-prong attack I think it's gearing up for wearables um you know Smartwatch and

327
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:06,559
whatever you know Google Glass 2 whatever they decide to call their second iteration of it but beyond that I

328
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:12,360
think it's also a clear shot for emerging markets I think they're looking

329
00:23:08,919 --> 00:23:14,000
at India in particular South America

330
00:23:12,360 --> 00:23:18,240
where maybe the lower spec Android devices uh can get some Market

331
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:22,400
penetration um you know and also that potential um you know dollar from the

332
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:28,760
Play Store and that's a very good point because I mean it it blew me away that

333
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:31,320
in somewhere as technologically with it

334
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:36,600
as Taiwan I mean we're talking the manufacturing and design of all this

335
00:23:33,679 --> 00:23:41,360
crap goes on there and yet every C drivers got a flip

336
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:46,400
phone it's crazy in contrast though in Korea almost every single person I saw

337
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:49,919
had a note a note two or like something else super baller and Samsung's there so

338
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:55,679
a lot of work goes on there it's just slight it's so funny you mention that our um our managing editor uh Roy Troy

339
00:23:54,120 --> 00:23:59,200
is Korean and we were talking about the difference of Technology from country to

340
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:05,320
Country he was talking about he said exactly that same thing he says he went to Korea and he couldn't believe how

341
00:24:02,559 --> 00:24:09,600
many people have these gigantic smartphones and and how many women carry

342
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:13,120
the gigantic you know smartphones instead it was just it's so interesting

343
00:24:10,919 --> 00:24:16,679
from country to Country you to see what what permeates the culture yeah more

344
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:21,520
than once I saw a chick walking around with like a clutch bag and as far as I

345
00:24:19,039 --> 00:24:25,200
could tell it was for her phone like that was it there was so many chicks and

346
00:24:23,919 --> 00:24:30,360
a lot of dudes as well but so many chicks with notes and giant phones that they held and worked with as TBL

347
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:37,559
and something right I know right isn't that thing

348
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:42,840
hilarious it is like a com I loved using it just looking at me like

349
00:24:39,919 --> 00:24:48,600
what what is this thing on my face what is that what's that guy doing he's

350
00:24:45,360 --> 00:24:51,279
crazy okay so uh I think our last topic

351
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:55,279
here is is a bit of a console topic and actually is is an ecosystem control

352
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:58,760
topic as well so I'm just going to go ahead and fire this up on the computer

353
00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:02,080
here so everyone can see what the it is we're talking about so this was a tweet

354
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:07,000
from Michael mallister that sent this over so it's actually the original link

355
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:11,320
is to the Playstation blog where they

356
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:14,440
dropped an absolute bomb on PS4 audio

357
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:16,240
format support so uh here Luke why don't

358
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:20,000
I let you give the rundown and then John I'd love to hear what you think of this

359
00:25:18,039 --> 00:25:24,000
particular method of ecosystem control so there there was a topic actually on

360
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:28,880
TechnoBuffalo about this so I'm sure I'm sure he's on top of it um but PS

361
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:33,520
PlayStation released a giant FAQ recently like huge and it is

362
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:36,880
actually pretty awesome because it's nice to get some confirmation about

363
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:39,720
things uh because this is kind of an issue you hear about this giant thing

364
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:43,399
that's new newly released and it's like oh well I have literally 80 questions

365
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:46,320
and none of them are answered so it's nice that we got this fq but people

366
00:25:45,039 --> 00:25:52,240
started noticing things like the PlayStation 4 will not support MP3s

367
00:25:48,919 --> 00:25:54,720
audio CDs external hard drives or

368
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:59,159
DLNA people were just like what the heck one thing that they do support though is

369
00:25:56,840 --> 00:26:02,919
Music Unlimited a PlayStation service which can stream You music for a monthly

370
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:08,480
fee and you can play this music in the background while you're playing games only $4.99 a month no less John I'm sure

371
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:12,039
you have lots to say about this let's hear it oh yes I do so first I just want

372
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:15,440
to say thank you to everybody that's s of sending messages on on Twitter that's

373
00:26:14,039 --> 00:26:21,240
um that's watching the show it's very cool to interact sort of live um so if

374
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:25,799
there's ever been anything more Sony than good design it's really loving

375
00:26:23,399 --> 00:26:29,720
proprietary formats like really love like really like in love wanting to

376
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:34,960
marry and make babies with proprietary formats I mean this this is this is the

377
00:26:31,399 --> 00:26:37,760
company that brought us betamax minis

378
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:43,080
um memory memory stick memory stick Duo memory stick Duo 95 Pro Duo yeah the the

379
00:26:41,279 --> 00:26:46,200
billion different varieties so I am not at all surprised with the music side of

380
00:26:44,919 --> 00:26:49,840
things and pushing their own Silly Services what was a little bit

381
00:26:48,120 --> 00:26:53,720
surprising was the external hard drives and Sony said that they're limiting it

382
00:26:52,039 --> 00:26:58,919
to try and reduce piracy which okay I can I can understand

383
00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:04,120
um you know they probably felt that was a big issue with with the PS3 uh they

384
00:27:02,039 --> 00:27:08,440
plated people a little bit by letting their internal hard drive be replaceable

385
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:11,039
which it still seems a little bit silly you just get the you know connector and

386
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:16,960
you can throw an external hard drive anyway that it thinks is internal um so

387
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:22,320
it it seems like a very silly thing that I think will very quickly be rectified

388
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:23,919
um I would say come like half a year

389
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:28,559
down external hard dries will be allowed I just do you think it'll be rectified

390
00:27:26,799 --> 00:27:33,399
because one thing I have to give Microsoft props for is that they made

391
00:27:31,159 --> 00:27:38,320
all the most popular most unpopular decisions they possibly could and then

392
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:42,559
swiftly backtracked on them Sony has shown in the past that they are willing

393
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:48,519
to make an unpopular decision and then just ride it out forever forever and I

394
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:54,080
agree I give Microsoft credit as well for for backtracking they could have run

395
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:57,399
a marathon backwards for as quickly as

396
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:59,440
they uh as they retreated on that um I

397
00:27:57,399 --> 00:28:03,600
do however think Sony is really trying to be what they're calling considering

398
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:06,320
like the anti Xbox this time um so I think they're going to take a different

399
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:12,600
approach to PS4 and I really think that's something that's going to be rectified if the community wants it to

400
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:13,880
be rectified very very quickly now sorry

401
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:18,880
go ahead because I'm gonna I'm gonna go for a bit here so sure one thing to bring up too is it's not just music

402
00:28:17,279 --> 00:28:22,320
unlimited they also have I believe what's called Video Unlimited which I

403
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:25,720
think is supposed to conflict and try and fight against Netflix and that has a

404
00:28:24,360 --> 00:28:29,679
little subscription thing good luck good luck with that I know yeah not really

405
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:34,000
going to happen but just putting that there they's such a Powerhouse now oh

406
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:37,880
it's ridiculous here's my issue with the way that Sony is viewing their

407
00:28:35,399 --> 00:28:42,720
competition as this Sony versus Microsoft head-to-head battle so they're

408
00:28:39,919 --> 00:28:46,919
ignoring Wii U which their right to do and they're also ignoring Steam OS

409
00:28:45,399 --> 00:28:50,960
they're ignoring Steam OS and they're ignoring Android I've been saying this

410
00:28:48,679 --> 00:28:56,559
for a little while and I don't think this is the Battle of PS4 and Xbox One I

411
00:28:53,919 --> 00:29:00,240
think this is the Battle of console and they're better off to band together and

412
00:28:58,399 --> 00:29:05,799
figure out what their value ad is and deliver it versus open more open

413
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:10,480
platforms like Linux and open platforms like Android where the barrier to entry

414
00:29:08,279 --> 00:29:14,559
for a game developer or an app developer or whoever else wants to be involved in

415
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:17,799
that platform is much lower I don't know how much attention you've paid to

416
00:29:15,799 --> 00:29:22,720
something like NVIDIA Shield but did you see their console mode

417
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:24,399
announcement yes I've actually uh Pi I'm

418
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:29,840
actually staring at NVIDIA Shield right now as we speak good um what are your

419
00:29:26,679 --> 00:29:32,480
thoughts I had a chance to take a look

420
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:35,960
at the update you a few days before it uh got pushed so there are a few things

421
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:40,039
I see I actually agree wholeheartly with everything you just said I think the big

422
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:44,399
difficulty for developers is getting those games on television sets about

423
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:50,080
things like the Ouya and I think the shield and NVIDIA nailed it with the the

424
00:29:47,799 --> 00:29:54,440
control mapping yes so being a being able to take a game like NBA Jam you

425
00:29:52,519 --> 00:29:57,679
know that's an awesome game but it's kind of tough to play with touch and

426
00:29:55,760 --> 00:30:03,480
being able to just have that already be mapped for your Shield makes it a very very

427
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:06,960
compelling platform not to mention all the emulators you can download you know

428
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:13,720
I traveled I was playing Super Mario Brothers on my shield because it was just fun um and you know what we've seen

429
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:18,799
this time and time again where the more that a platform tries to lock down and

430
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:23,399
become anti-piracy the more the piracy friendly platform that crops up to take

431
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:29,240
its place gets accepted because let's face it piracy drives platform adoption

432
00:30:27,039 --> 00:30:33,159
in a huge way and it's the elephant in the room that Microsoft doesn't want to

433
00:30:31,159 --> 00:30:37,039
talk about about the Xbox the original Xbox it's the elephant in the room that

434
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:40,200
you know Microsoft doesn't want to talk about with the PC it's the elephant in

435
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:45,799
the room Google doesn't want to talk about with Android but it's there yeah

436
00:30:43,559 --> 00:30:50,960
that's a very astute observation actually um I I completely agree with

437
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:55,240
that with that statement you are absolutely right I'd be curious you know

438
00:30:53,519 --> 00:30:58,519
and they say piracy what they really mean is we're not making enough money I

439
00:30:57,120 --> 00:31:02,720
mean that that's sort of that's the between the lines is we don't care if

440
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:07,840
you're playing our game for free we care that you're not giving us money to play

441
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:10,080
our game um and and that's the issue I

442
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:13,519
wonder though how much money these manufacturers Sony and Microsoft are

443
00:31:11,679 --> 00:31:16,480
paying to developers to get exclusives Microsoft obviously opened up their

444
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:21,159
wallets like crazy to get the exclusive titles what if what if they both agreed

445
00:31:18,799 --> 00:31:25,120
to stop doing that that okay let's stop with the exclusive deal uh you know if

446
00:31:23,159 --> 00:31:28,440
we own a studio so whatever if it was formerly bunge or whatever it might be

447
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:33,360
then you know we'll make our own games but if we stop doing that and we stop

448
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:38,279
pushing this ridiculous piracy that just locks down our console I wonder how that

449
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:42,639
would change sales numbers and how that would change you know their end of day

450
00:31:40,039 --> 00:31:47,240
or a scary profit what about a scary sort of uh seiz fire on exclusive titles

451
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:53,440
where they kind of go okay well let's work together to make them console exclusive and let's compete on the value

452
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:57,919
ad services like Xbox Live and Playstation network and let's figure out

453
00:31:55,600 --> 00:32:00,919
how to extract our money there but let's stopped fighting on Hardware because

454
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:06,679
they basically gave up on the hardware fight we saw that they both have the same bloody Hardware in them for the

455
00:32:03,799 --> 00:32:10,480
most part PS yeah EXA exactly the same and they're still sort of like backhand

456
00:32:08,519 --> 00:32:16,559
fighting each other you know I'm sure Sony paid Activision to make Call of

457
00:32:13,159 --> 00:32:18,200
Duty ghost 1080p only on the PS4 you

458
00:32:16,559 --> 00:32:22,399
know so people can think oh the XBox wasn't as powerful last generation it's

459
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:26,360
probably not as powerful this generation like I would bet there was

460
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:31,320
money to changed hands obviously I can't back that up but I would I would bet

461
00:32:28,519 --> 00:32:34,600
that money changed hands so tell me this now that you've played with shield and

462
00:32:32,639 --> 00:32:40,799
console mode do you have a Kepler based GeForce um uh PC to stream games to your

463
00:32:38,519 --> 00:32:44,679
I've got a got a falcon here yeah oh yeah we we've been testing it having a

464
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:51,200
blast with okay tell me this from an end user perspective if Shield is $200 for

465
00:32:47,559 --> 00:32:53,080
what is effectively a a console that if

466
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:58,080
you have a supported PC so remember Shield is $200 with a supported graphics

467
00:32:55,240 --> 00:33:03,000
card so if you pay $200 for shield you get to stream PC quality graphics and

468
00:33:00,639 --> 00:33:07,840
man does it ever look good to handheld or to your TV with 1080p coming by the

469
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:13,159
end of the year and the ability to use it handheld or Steam OS with its ability

470
00:33:11,159 --> 00:33:17,120
to stream from your PC as well so having one powerful PC in the house and being

471
00:33:14,919 --> 00:33:22,240
able to Game On Any TV versus picking up your console and moving it around versus

472
00:33:18,919 --> 00:33:23,840
spending $400 or $500 or $300 whatever

473
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:27,799
it is on a console plus extra controllers plus whatever you end up

474
00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:32,320
doing what is going to be in your list living room six months from now if you

475
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:35,159
had a crystal ball oh I mean the shield for sure I should say though The Shield

476
00:33:33,559 --> 00:33:40,399
is 300 bucks if you want to buy it on its own yes that's important and it's

477
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:44,440
not even available in every country yeah but I I totally see the value add and I

478
00:33:42,519 --> 00:33:48,120
give NVIDIA credit for pushing a product like this they know they're not going to

479
00:33:45,519 --> 00:33:50,919
make any money on yes it's it's a really cutting I I thought for sure they were

480
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:58,039
never going to release this I thought it was going to be a reference Hardware from Tegra 4 um and I went on record and

481
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:59,559
said then I was clearly wrong um I

482
00:33:58,039 --> 00:34:03,399
really give them I really give them credit I know the folks in NVIDIA very

483
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:06,760
well they are committed this platform and they like you to see the future and

484
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:09,520
they've done that same you know that same pitch okay what are you going to

485
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:14,359
keep in your living room and if we stick with this and we educate the consumer to know what Shield does to not just look

486
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:19,359
at it as an Android Tablet with the controller you know they will get it

487
00:34:16,359 --> 00:34:22,000
being able to stream PC games that look

488
00:34:19,359 --> 00:34:24,599
ridiculously good anywhere you want are incredible if my wife doesn't want me

489
00:34:23,359 --> 00:34:28,480
sitting in front of my computer playing games I can sit on the couch sort of

490
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:33,240
watch the baby you know and catch up with Arkham Origins you know or any

491
00:34:31,119 --> 00:34:37,919
absolutely or anything else I want and this is something oh sorry uh one thing

492
00:34:35,919 --> 00:34:40,480
that kind of catches me odd and I was wondering what you think about this was

493
00:34:39,119 --> 00:34:45,879
the release timing for different things to do with Shield because I I think less

494
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:49,119
people know that uh you can actually play it as streaming from your computer

495
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:53,079
they know that it exists and I'm surprised that usually you announce

496
00:34:50,919 --> 00:34:56,599
things that have to do with the device before you release the device they mess

497
00:34:54,560 --> 00:35:00,599
that up and in Shield's case they release Shields and it was this Hardware

498
00:34:59,079 --> 00:35:04,960
that everyone wasn't sure what to do with it like what it really does like why does it even have these different

499
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:08,160
options blah blah blah blah blah and then finally they're releasing all these

500
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:12,880
options after interest is actually almost waning yeah it it's they've been taking

501
00:35:11,240 --> 00:35:15,720
a very weird approach they're trying to go organic and clearly that just

502
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:20,320
translates that we don't want to spend a lot of money and a big like I mean it's

503
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:24,160
true and do a big like blogger education push I mean so we had before this over

504
00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:30,960
the air update came out you know we had a huge um you know WebEx demo

505
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:35,280
um talking about shield and they sent us U an external controller at HDMI K hook

506
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:39,280
it up to TVs and all that kind of all that kind of stuff and they're really

507
00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:41,640
pushing it I think I think bloggers for

508
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:46,800
some reason don't either get it or just don't care I and I'm not that emotional

509
00:35:45,079 --> 00:35:51,040
it's that emotional fandom that we talked about before this is a completely

510
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:55,079
new completely different thing that I think a lot of the console versus PC

511
00:35:53,319 --> 00:35:59,240
guys I don't think anyone's happy about it cuz I think the hardcore PC guys look

512
00:35:57,160 --> 00:36:02,000
at it and they go go well I don't need a console I don't need a handle blah blah

513
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:06,720
blah blah blah and I think a lot of the console guys go well then I have to have

514
00:36:04,359 --> 00:36:09,440
a powerful gaming PC I'm happy with my Xbox blah blah blah don't take away my

515
00:36:08,319 --> 00:36:14,680
console and the thing I think people don't realize is I've been saying this for a while this is the last generation

516
00:36:12,720 --> 00:36:19,319
of of consoles in the form that we see them today and I and people tell me well

517
00:36:18,119 --> 00:36:23,160
well I'm yeah I'm going to sit in front of my computer no you're not going to sit in front of your computer you're

518
00:36:21,359 --> 00:36:27,800
going to sit in front of your TV the TV gaming experience is not dead but the

519
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:33,000
console is dead and I think NVIDIA Shield is actually just a pawn here I

520
00:36:31,240 --> 00:36:36,800
think it's I think it's a sacrificial lamb they're obviously going to lose

521
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:41,000
money on the whole Endeavor but I think they actually don't care if Shield two

522
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:46,599
or Shield three or Shield four exists because NVIDIA in their history is an

523
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:48,400
enaer they are not looking to sell a

524
00:36:46,599 --> 00:36:52,920
graphics card directly to an end user any more than they're looking to necessarily sell a shield to an end user

525
00:36:51,079 --> 00:36:57,000
I think they created Shield out of a need to build this cuz no one else was

526
00:36:55,359 --> 00:37:02,480
willing to do it I think they just did it and went no we want handheld gaming

527
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:06,720
uh combined with PC gaming combined with TV gaming and if we have to do it

528
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:09,880
ourselves then fine but ultimately if someone else with Tegra 6 releases their

529
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:13,920
own thing I think they're happy with that yeah I actually agree with you I I

530
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:18,599
I I could not have said that better myself I I completely agree with

531
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:21,800
that you're the best guest ever you agree with me about things you're

532
00:37:19,720 --> 00:37:25,599
awesome I mean when you're when you're right you're right I mean you're not

533
00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:28,680
you're not saying anything untrue man and I would any anybody who knows me

534
00:37:27,359 --> 00:37:34,319
know knows I love a good argument so I'm certainly not afraid to uh to speak up

535
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:37,640
but I think you nailed it well you know what I would love to give you at least I

536

00:39:32,359 --> 00:39:38,760

565
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:41,760
starting your own business over there sure and we're not we're not we're not

566
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:45,599
on a clock I'm happy to answer the questions all right thank you thank you

567
00:39:43,839 --> 00:39:50,079
so I mean the struggles were the biggest one I faced was you know so okay so now

568
00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:54,920
I'm 33 and people look at me as a 33y old but they realized when they started

569
00:39:51,240 --> 00:39:56,880
this I was 25 26 years um not really

570
00:39:54,920 --> 00:40:02,560
knowing how business worked I love technology I used to go to Best Buy and

571
00:39:59,240 --> 00:40:04,560
walk around dress myself um you know at

572
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:08,000
the end of a long day U my biggest thing was when I when I first launched techno

573
00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:11,599
Buffalo I didn't know about how to create a website I didn't know about

574
00:40:09,319 --> 00:40:15,800
code I had you know gotten a little bit of startup funds from friends and family

575
00:40:13,359 --> 00:40:18,680
I bootstrapped it all the way um and I hired a developer I said build the site

576
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:25,599
he built it and said okay it's ready to launch so I figured great let's launch it um and the site crashed in I think it

577
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:28,599
was less than a minute it was like 43 seconds it didn't crash because of crazy

578
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:33,440
traffic it crashed because of God awul code so we had a burn through 40% of our

579
00:40:31,079 --> 00:40:38,680
startup capital I had just left my job this 2009 in a bad economy to make

580
00:40:36,079 --> 00:40:43,520
videos for a living I had no income for essentially three months so the best

581
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:49,280
long story short best advice that I can give is know your industry you want to

582
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:51,400
start a website know about a website I I

583
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:55,440
I was so like blindly ignorant I mean I look back and I just want to smack

584
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:57,680
myself in the face um no know your

585
00:40:55,440 --> 00:41:01,400
industry before you get into anything um I had the benefit of being sort of just

586
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:06,640
by dumb Luck first to Market so it's easier to get notice and much harder now

587
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:10,040
and it's a much more crowded field so if you want to get into YouTube or Tech

588
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:14,000
World find your own voice let your personality come through don't be a

589
00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:18,359
robot don't copy anybody else's style find your own um and uh fight through

590
00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:22,240
all the hate that is absolutely fantastic advice especially that last

591
00:41:20,119 --> 00:41:27,680
thing any new employee here who is going to be on camera I actually am kind of an

592
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:31,920
to them intentionally um and the reason for that is because whatever I

593
00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:35,560
can say to you is not on Tenth of what the internet's going to throw at you and

594
00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:39,640
the bit about finding your own voice and your own style is so important because

595
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:47,520
so many people ask me how do I be a how do I be a YouTuber and the answer is is

596
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:48,960
is always to be passionate and

597
00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:53,359
understand what you're trying to talk about because otherwise people are going

598
00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:57,240
to people's people's radar is so sensitive these days they're not

599
00:41:55,200 --> 00:42:01,640
going to buy it you're abs abs absolutely and don't fall in the Trap of

600
00:41:59,319 --> 00:42:03,839
of selling yourself for reviews you know don't think you have to give good

601
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:09,079
reviews because it's going and sent you a product the audience knows be yourself

602
00:42:06,040 --> 00:42:10,520
on camera be genuine and um you know I

603
00:42:09,079 --> 00:42:15,520
think you guys will will find success if you just follow that path all right uh

604
00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:21,160
this is just hilarious and I'm I'm sorry to do this to you but uh please jsy asks

613
00:42:53,960 --> 00:43:00,200
5 Guys you're going to have to go back and watch the archive if you want to hear about NEX 5 from John do you have

614
00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:04,400
any initial thoughts let's make this the last question here do you have any initial thoughts on the Nexus 5 and its

615
00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:08,960
camera quality so we do funny you should

616
00:43:06,720 --> 00:43:13,720
mention that we actually Ju Just finished writing and filming a full test

617
00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:17,040
of the video and still camera quality uh on the next five so if you want to see

618
00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:21,280
that we'll have the post up actually tomorrow Saturday on technobuffalo.com

619
00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:27,839
can we get a short teaser but I will give you a sneak preview it's good it's

620
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:29,640
good it's not great okay that is very

621
00:43:27,839 --> 00:43:33,280
fair so guys make sure you check that out on TechnoBuffalo tomorrow John

622
00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:36,960
you've been an absolutely fantastic guest thank you so much for joining us

623
00:43:35,559 --> 00:43:41,359
and my pleasure thank you guys for having me I appreciate this was a lot of fun guys make sure that you're following

624
00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:45,319
John on Twitter oh we should have his Twitter handle in there John for Lakers

625
00:43:43,559 --> 00:43:48,760
and uh you know harass him on Twitter tell him how great he was because the

626
00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:51,599
more messages I see about how great he was the more likely I am to bring him

627
00:43:50,240 --> 00:43:55,920
back although I can already tell you we would be happy to have you back anytime you were F I would love to be back and

628
00:43:54,640 --> 00:44:00,640
it's internet I don't do well with compliment so you do you do much better

629
00:43:57,880 --> 00:44:03,599
to just like yell at me awesome next time I'll make sure I have something we

630
00:44:02,079 --> 00:44:07,839
disagree on okay sounds good thank you guys very

631
00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:10,559
much for uh for having me it was was a really a good time and I look forward to

632
00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:14,920
doing it again hopefully sometime soon take care thanks a lot bye bye all right

633
00:44:12,359 --> 00:44:18,680
let's uh let's move right along so let's move right into our sponsor message what

634
00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:23,720
a great guest he was yeah that was really good all right so our sponsor

635
00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:26,000
this week is whoops wrong one is Hotspot

636
00:44:23,720 --> 00:44:29,680
Shield so Hotspot Shield is a VPN solution it's great whether you're

637
00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:33,559
browsing on a mobile device like an iPhone or an Android device or whether

638
00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:37,920
you're using your laptop or your desktop and what a VPN such as Hotspot Shield

639
00:44:35,559 --> 00:44:42,079
does is it allows you to be more anonymous online with all the stuff

640
00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:45,480
going on right now with the NSA or other countries don't imagine that because you

641
00:44:43,599 --> 00:44:52,440
don't live in the US you're somehow immune because online not not a thing

642
00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:54,440
online spying is a thing and while a VPN

643
00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:59,599
is not the be all and end all of online privacy it certainly helps we know this

644
00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:03,400
it makes you more difficult to track down exactly who you are and what your

645
00:45:01,160 --> 00:45:06,359
name is and where you live and it makes it more difficult to interfere with the

646
00:45:05,119 --> 00:45:11,359
things that you're doing online if someone is maliciously targeting your IP

647
00:45:08,720 --> 00:45:16,920
with any kind of attack you can get 20% off of elite pricing at bit. lehs share

648
00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:21,960
and they do have a free trial of elite so all you have to do is head over to

649
00:45:19,079 --> 00:45:25,079
there try the free trial if you like it please use offer code Linus when you

650
00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:30,800
when you buy it so that we get credit for sending you over there because they are very very generously sponsoring the

651
00:45:28,319 --> 00:45:34,000
WAN Show and uh I mean I think it's I think it's a great fit just because I

652
00:45:32,240 --> 00:45:38,160
feel like our viewers are exactly the kinds of people who should be advocating

653
00:45:36,079 --> 00:45:42,240
this not even necessarily for themselves maybe you're very careful online you

654
00:45:39,720 --> 00:45:46,680
feel like you don't need a VPN make sure that your mom's using one or like your

655
00:45:44,240 --> 00:45:51,359
your idiot sister that goes everywhere is using one this is not a bad thing to

656
00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:55,680
think about so there you go guys VPN are important Hotspot Shield get a discount

657
00:45:53,160 --> 00:46:00,359
use offer code Linus so I'm thinking we jump over the BBM topic and go directly

658
00:45:58,319 --> 00:46:03,760
to psus because we just talked about phones for a we talked about phones for

659
00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:07,559
a long time you guys want to talk about some hardcore PC Hardware let's do that

660
00:46:06,240 --> 00:46:12,280
thing so we're going to jump into an anct article about bronze versus

661
00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:17,040
platinum power supplies because we've talked about this before um but we've

662
00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:20,200
just kind of like generally talked about the idea of it yes these guys actually

663
00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:24,040
run some pretty hardcore numbers these are hardcore numbers which is what Anon

664
00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:27,200
Tech is fantastic for and if this page ever loads then why don't you why don't

665
00:46:26,040 --> 00:46:34,480
you go ahead and run them through some of the rationale so first what is 80 plus 80 plus is efficiency levels so if

666
00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:36,480
you're above 80 80% efficiency you get

667
00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:42,640
different rankings uh 80 plus Platinum is like basically 90 plus but not quite

668
00:46:40,559 --> 00:46:46,240
so that is how much energy is wasted in the conversion from AC power which comes

669
00:46:44,520 --> 00:46:50,400
out of your wall to DC power which is what your computer uses how much is

670
00:46:47,720 --> 00:46:54,800
saved you're you're saving you're not wasting 80% oh yeah yeah how much how

671
00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:58,960
how efficient the conversion is okay so anyway what are some of these numbers looking like so don't actually have the

672
00:46:57,280 --> 00:47:04,200
sheet up but I remember from memory when you're idling bronze compared to

673
00:47:01,119 --> 00:47:05,400
platinum uh you're saving about $7 and

674
00:47:04,200 --> 00:47:09,359
something remember these are going to be US dollars so wherever you are you can

675
00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:13,880
convert that as much as you want yeah and it really depends on energy costs in your area as well that's another thing

676
00:47:12,359 --> 00:47:20,280
to factor in and it depends on energy cost one thing is like I I don't think our energy probably costs as much as an

677
00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:23,160
ntex does um so our cost wouldn't be the

678
00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:28,359
same as this but O Canada yeah O Canada Hydro power woo um so like there's

679
00:47:27,359 --> 00:47:32,480
there's a bunch of different factors into play which will make it different for where you live but basically

680
00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:35,920
essentially for where an anch did their testing you're saving about $7 and

681
00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:40,160
something when you're idling and you're saving up I think it's like 23 is that a

682
00:47:38,160 --> 00:47:46,480
year or a month a year a year and it's 247 operation 247 operation idling for

683
00:47:43,599 --> 00:47:53,040
an entire year and then under load which is like heavy load 247 for a whole year

684
00:47:50,559 --> 00:47:57,200
you can save about 23 25 bucks so my conclusion from this was if you're one

685
00:47:55,559 --> 00:48:02,160
of those guys on Save the line of folding team and you're pushing your

686
00:47:58,960 --> 00:48:03,800
CPUs and everything like 100% all the

687
00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:08,640
time and you expect to get 3 to five years of life out of your power supply

688
00:48:05,920 --> 00:48:11,760
then maybe not a bad idea look into high efficiency power supplies but if you're

689
00:48:10,480 --> 00:48:18,200
someone who's going to come home and game for two or three hours and shut your computer off other than that maybe

690
00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:20,920
don't shell out the extra money for the Platinum power supply would you get a

691
00:48:19,559 --> 00:48:24,000
cheaper one although one thing I have noticed is that silver and gold level

692
00:48:22,599 --> 00:48:28,720
power supplies are becoming cheaper and cheaper that's true they are and you know what honestly there are other

693
00:48:27,040 --> 00:48:32,800
things that you can do to optimize your system for power efficiency so hold on a

694
00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:39,280
second here is their actual graph where they com they compared the thermal light

695
00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:40,559
power 450 watt to the EA 450 Earth Watts

696
00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:44,720
Platinum so those are the actual two power supplies that they're looking at

697
00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:50,359
and the funny thing about them choosing 450 watt power supplies for this test is

698
00:48:47,720 --> 00:48:54,480
that I have a a point about that more than changing the efficiency level the

699
00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:58,240
80 plus rating of the power supply you're buying buying an appropriate

700
00:48:56,000 --> 00:49:02,400
power supply for your system could be could could actually save you more money

701
00:49:00,280 --> 00:49:07,520
because when you over Buy 80 plus platinum and 80 plus ratings only

702
00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:09,920
factoring down to 20% load under that

703
00:49:07,520 --> 00:49:13,839
load there is no spec there is no requirement so it could be extremely

704
00:49:11,640 --> 00:49:17,680
inefficient at very low loads and if you completely over bu your power supply you

705
00:49:15,359 --> 00:49:22,640
buy 1200 watt power supply for a system that's going to pull 250 watts underload

706
00:49:19,799 --> 00:49:25,400
and like 45 Watts or 60 watts at idle you might be you might be getting the

707
00:49:24,079 --> 00:49:29,480
worst efficiency ever and you would never even know about it and like your

708
00:49:27,319 --> 00:49:32,839
highest efficiency isn't at that 20% where the graph starts it's a little bit

709
00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:39,280
in there so you want to be actually using a bit of your power supply for it to be really efficient all right so

710
00:49:35,799 --> 00:49:41,240
phone blocks has been making major waves

711
00:49:39,280 --> 00:49:45,760
so I think the first person who posted about Project Ara on the Forum is MGS

712
00:49:43,839 --> 00:49:49,760
star so I wanted to give a shout out to you for posting in the lineus tech tips

713
00:49:47,280 --> 00:49:54,920
news section of the Forum but this is the original Motorola post here I'm just

714
00:49:52,839 --> 00:50:00,000
going to go ahead and fire this up the official Motorola blogs goodbye sticky

715
00:49:57,240 --> 00:50:03,839
hello ARA so sticky was a truck that apparently treed across the us or going

716
00:50:02,240 --> 00:50:10,160
somewhere with a bunch of rooted phones some 3D printing equipment and the goal

717
00:50:06,720 --> 00:50:13,760
was this my friends so much like phone

718
00:50:10,160 --> 00:50:16,079
blocks' goal is a modular phone design

719
00:50:13,760 --> 00:50:20,400
that is upgradeable and can be tailor made to a specific purpose that is the

720
00:50:18,680 --> 00:50:24,960
purpose of Project Ara so this is a whole lot of renders from what I'm

721
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:31,480
looking at right now and not necessarily um concrete proof that Project Ara is a

722
00:50:27,720 --> 00:50:34,400
real thing yet however um let's do a

723
00:50:31,480 --> 00:50:37,599
quick recap of of what the so the okay Motorola is working with phone blocks in

724
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:40,680
terms of publicity so in terms of publicity so go what are your thoughts

725
00:50:39,160 --> 00:50:44,640
on essentially there was Project sticky Motorola was already working on this yes

726
00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:49,200
phone blocks and behind closed doors essentially phone blocks comes out and

727
00:50:46,480 --> 00:50:52,960
builds a huge Community now Motorola realizes that for this platform to be

728
00:50:51,079 --> 00:50:56,640
open and accepted by a huge amount of people they need a following these types

729
00:50:54,960 --> 00:51:00,960
of devices and these types of groups need a following is that playing audio

730
00:50:58,359 --> 00:51:04,280
nope muted okay so what they did is they decided to partner up with phone blocks

731
00:51:02,799 --> 00:51:09,680
who essentially came up with the same idea just slightly different um and grab

732
00:51:07,440 --> 00:51:12,640
that huge Community that's there that that tweeted about this on the

733
00:51:10,760 --> 00:51:15,559
Thunderclap that that's been following the videos that's been on Reddit all

734
00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:21,640
that kind of stuff you're seeing a summary of all of that over here hey it was Marcus brownley anyway go ahead so

735
00:51:19,520 --> 00:51:25,880
they they want to grab all of this that you're seeing over here and attach it to

736
00:51:24,240 --> 00:51:31,040
their product basically so they partnered up with ph block so that they can get the community of phone blocks

737
00:51:29,040 --> 00:51:36,920
and the hardware of Motorola to come together and that's now here's here's

738
00:51:34,920 --> 00:51:40,920
okay here's I'm gonna I'm gonna summarize the issues and I'm actually

739
00:51:39,240 --> 00:51:44,040
going to use an article from a nonch to summarize some of them because I love

740
00:51:42,359 --> 00:51:49,480
these guys so much and I just you should just go on their site every day that's what I do um anyway so they they

741
00:51:47,839 --> 00:51:53,520
summarize some of the issues so issue number one purely Hardware perspective

742
00:51:51,200 --> 00:51:57,400
there is a tradeoff between purpose building something as compactly and as

743
00:51:55,599 --> 00:52:01,440
efficiently as possible and building something that is more

744
00:51:59,720 --> 00:52:05,960
modular it will be bigger and it will be bulkier and it will be heavier tradeoff

745
00:52:03,839 --> 00:52:10,599
number two that they bring up is regul regulations so FCC only tests single

746
00:52:08,799 --> 00:52:14,119
configurations for approval these are devices that send and receive signals so

747
00:52:12,720 --> 00:52:18,599
having them be modular and just completely interchangeable might

748
00:52:15,920 --> 00:52:23,799
actually be a a a showstopper depending on how how they can get individ can they

749
00:52:21,799 --> 00:52:26,799
get individual Parts FCC regulated what if they work together and then they

750
00:52:25,040 --> 00:52:30,760
cause interference I mean I've seen stuff as ridiculous as a lamp and a baby

751
00:52:29,119 --> 00:52:34,839
monitor plugged into the same circuit that cause interference on the baby

752
00:52:32,280 --> 00:52:37,319
monitor this stuff is complicated and a cell phone is a hell of a lot more

753
00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:41,079
complicated than a baby they're going to have to get each individual part cleared

754
00:52:39,760 --> 00:52:45,040
but what about if you take this one and put it together and it causes some kind of problem but then wouldn't they have

755
00:52:43,640 --> 00:52:49,040
to test that to be able to clear it exactly yeah so it's going to be really

756
00:52:46,960 --> 00:52:53,280
complicated yeah but maybe maybe it can be done and then the final issue that

757
00:52:50,760 --> 00:52:57,359
they see is actually one of History where Intel tried to do this with a

758
00:52:55,559 --> 00:53:01,000
project whitebook or whatever it was called hold on a second yeah whitebook

759
00:52:59,200 --> 00:53:06,599
where they wanted upgradable modular notebooks I mean Intel has been an

760
00:53:03,400 --> 00:53:08,400
advocate of of PCS being a component

761
00:53:06,599 --> 00:53:13,599
business they make CPUs and they make other parts like ssds motherboards not

762
00:53:10,839 --> 00:53:16,839
anymore but by and large they like that approach historically in their business

763
00:53:15,119 --> 00:53:22,079
they've wanted that but even they are not trying to do that on smartphone at

764
00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:24,599
all and they gave up on laptop because

765
00:53:22,079 --> 00:53:29,319
the market showed that what it wanted was tightly integrated devices that are

766
00:53:27,040 --> 00:53:33,680
beautiful and sleek and slim and small and lightweight and highly highly

767
00:53:31,520 --> 00:53:38,720
integrated so I'm going to bring up a couple other things that that I think

768
00:53:35,319 --> 00:53:40,079
here so um here here's here's a big Pro

769
00:53:38,720 --> 00:53:44,960
you know what oh where's that thread on the Forum crap there was a great post on

770
00:53:42,559 --> 00:53:48,720
the Forum that uh that I really liked about about phone blocks I didn't remove

771
00:53:47,160 --> 00:53:53,359
any phone blocks yeah no I know you didn't remove it but uh I really wanted

772
00:53:51,319 --> 00:53:58,559
to give this user a shout out here because they did a great job of

773
00:53:55,720 --> 00:54:04,799
summarizing it it but the issue is that much like the

774
00:54:01,760 --> 00:54:06,119
PC when's the last time you upgraded a

775
00:54:04,799 --> 00:54:09,839
component of a PC that's what I was just going to bring up is the the main

776
00:54:07,799 --> 00:54:14,599
problem that I find is that um especially they're saying like developing markets all this kind of

777
00:54:11,880 --> 00:54:18,240
stuff whenever I see anyone upgrade anything it's pretty much always a

778
00:54:16,599 --> 00:54:22,000
bucket upgrade it's not like a single component uh that happens with computers

779
00:54:20,240 --> 00:54:26,000
that happens with practically everything I can think of to be to be completely

780
00:54:23,920 --> 00:54:29,480
honest um someone still kind of likes their car one component fails they're

781
00:54:27,720 --> 00:54:33,599
like ah it's fairly expensive to fix it I could but I'm just going to buy a new

782
00:54:31,160 --> 00:54:37,480
one and there's a lot of that and that mentality especially on the high end I

783
00:54:36,160 --> 00:54:43,920
don't really feel like it's going to change and and and there's the fact that a lot of the time it doesn't make any

784
00:54:40,880 --> 00:54:45,760
sense because by the time you're unhappy

785
00:54:43,920 --> 00:54:49,760
with something or by the time there's even a suitable replacement that you

786
00:54:47,760 --> 00:54:53,520
would even want there's probably a suitable replacement for some other

787
00:54:51,480 --> 00:54:58,440
aspect of the device that you also want I mean The evolutionary changes that

788
00:54:55,440 --> 00:55:01,599
happen between Galaxy Device a Galaxy S

789
00:54:58,440 --> 00:55:03,079
to a Galaxy S2 to an S3 to an S4 they

790
00:55:01,599 --> 00:55:06,400
they change almost everything they put faster storage in them faster processor

791
00:55:04,920 --> 00:55:09,079
bigger screen better screen they do all these things at the same time and I

792
00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:15,359
think what's going to what's going to end up happening is much like on the PC where someone like I mean Intel and AMD

793
00:55:13,359 --> 00:55:19,280
and NVIDIA are all notorious for doing this oh uh buy this motherboard now and

794
00:55:17,720 --> 00:55:24,400
upgrade the CPU later no when the last time you upgraded a CPU in a system come

795
00:55:21,640 --> 00:55:27,599
on by the time you're you you're ready to ready to spend money on that again

796
00:55:26,319 --> 00:55:30,880
there's a better motherboard and a better CPU and a better graphics card

797
00:55:29,319 --> 00:55:33,960
you take that old machine and you hand it off to someone else or even if you

798
00:55:32,720 --> 00:55:39,039
perform all those upgrades within a reasonable period of time you're still going to end up with an entire computer

799
00:55:36,760 --> 00:55:42,480
or an entire phone worth of leftover Parts there's they didn't go away

800
00:55:40,680 --> 00:55:47,079
there's a few use cases that I see for this there's um the person Ste mine ex

801
00:55:45,880 --> 00:55:52,680
there's the person that's extremely accident prone I know a few um that

802
00:55:49,839 --> 00:55:56,480
constantly break their screens um or constantly break X Y or Z but then we

803
00:55:54,960 --> 00:56:01,480
don't need a fully modular phone for that we just need an easily replaceable

804
00:55:58,000 --> 00:56:02,520
screen yes but none of them are and

805
00:56:01,480 --> 00:56:08,599
they're not really going in that direction except for this where you could take all the modules off the back

806
00:56:06,400 --> 00:56:11,720
buy a new base put all the modules in and it would probably be a lot cheaper

807
00:56:10,400 --> 00:56:16,200
okay because I'm assuming that I haven't looked a ton into Project Ara but the

808
00:56:13,480 --> 00:56:19,839
the screen is built into the base unlike phone blocks right uh Project Ara they

809
00:56:18,119 --> 00:56:25,319
are talking replaceable screen right now okay okay didn't know that so you could just take the whole base all your

810
00:56:22,880 --> 00:56:28,799
modules replace the screen which is awwesome because I know ton of people

811
00:56:26,960 --> 00:56:32,200
that just break their screens repeatedly their phone's still fine it still works

812
00:56:30,400 --> 00:56:35,599
in the background I know a buddy actually like a day or two ago that

813
00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:40,240
broke his screen phone's still fine boots up all good can't see anything

814
00:56:37,599 --> 00:56:44,119
though so not really helpful that would be helpful for someone like that or

815
00:56:42,280 --> 00:56:47,440
someone who has no real interest in upgrading all the time but wants a phone

816
00:56:45,839 --> 00:56:51,760
that can text people call people and take really nice photos so they're going

817
00:56:49,160 --> 00:56:56,760
to spend a bit on their camera module and a bit on their storage module and

818
00:56:54,720 --> 00:57:00,799
that's about it so very specialty yeah now all of that stuff about how this is

819
00:56:59,079 --> 00:57:04,319
impossible that I just said oh yeah the last one that wasn't even brought up by

820
00:57:02,160 --> 00:57:09,480
on but that I think is really important is who who's going to support this if

821
00:57:07,359 --> 00:57:15,119
I'm Samsung and I'm used to selling people $600 or $700 devices that are all

822
00:57:12,599 --> 00:57:19,480
made by me am I going to turn around and go yeah yeah Motorola hey here we're

823
00:57:18,079 --> 00:57:23,839
going to make we're going to make really great components for your thing so that

824
00:57:21,440 --> 00:57:26,720
we can sell something for like 30 bucks rather than selling someone a whole

825
00:57:25,079 --> 00:57:30,720
phone and so you can sell them the rest of the phone and I'm not just talking

826
00:57:28,760 --> 00:57:34,400
about Samsung I'm talking about everyone and it's not even just I'm not

827
00:57:32,200 --> 00:57:39,760
criticizing Samsung for it it's just a reality that would be terrible business

828
00:57:36,400 --> 00:57:43,359
but how much of the device can like okay

829
00:57:39,760 --> 00:57:44,920
one maybe Samsung doesn't sell anything

830
00:57:43,359 --> 00:57:48,359
maybe Samsung sells the parts to Motorola you buy everything from

831
00:57:46,359 --> 00:57:51,400
Motorola right why would they sell why would they even want to sell these parts

832
00:57:49,640 --> 00:57:55,480
to Motorola to support this project we've seen awkward competitiveness

833
00:57:53,440 --> 00:57:58,559
behind the scenes where where Samsung makes some device for apple and apple

834
00:57:56,880 --> 00:58:01,319
Mak some device for whatever and we've seen that in the past where it doesn't

835
00:58:00,000 --> 00:58:07,039
seem to make a lot of sense but they made money but if it's not being integrated at a higher level sled has

836
00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:10,520
from Samsung or from a you know a flash manufacturer or a camera manufacturer I

837
00:58:09,280 --> 00:58:16,359
mean that's the thing is all these guys are so vertically integrated to the point where they'll borrow from each

838
00:58:13,480 --> 00:58:20,480
other but you know if they can use their own sensor design or their own flash or

839
00:58:18,319 --> 00:58:25,240
their own yeah I expect mot as much as their own stuff as they possibly can but

840
00:58:22,880 --> 00:58:30,240
I I think I think it's don't have they don't build flat flash they don't build

841
00:58:27,880 --> 00:58:35,880
processors but it's Google Google makes flash do they know no I thought goog

842
00:58:32,960 --> 00:58:42,920
software only recently flash makers are imft Samsung SanDisk like like Intel

843
00:58:41,200 --> 00:58:48,440
these are the guys who actually so Intel is the crucial Intel uh joint project so

844
00:58:46,599 --> 00:58:53,480
no the actual manufacturing of any of this stuff Motorola has to convince

845
00:58:51,359 --> 00:58:56,599
actual manufacturers who are actually selling this crap in their own devices

846
00:58:55,440 --> 00:59:00,359
to support this Good Luck Chuck that's all I have to say

847
00:58:58,920 --> 00:59:04,520
I think if they're buying it it'll happen Okay so with all of that said

848
00:59:02,680 --> 00:59:09,599
here's my last thing this is how it could work low-end devices y this is

849
00:59:07,440 --> 00:59:13,599
where I see the potential I think that all the enthusiasts getting really

850
00:59:11,599 --> 00:59:18,000
excited about things like the phone blocks promotional video for the thunder

851
00:59:15,559 --> 00:59:22,359
clap are duding themselves because that's not really what this is about in

852
00:59:20,240 --> 00:59:27,039
order to build a device let's say even within the next year or even two years

853
00:59:25,319 --> 00:59:31,200
we'll be looking so to build a device that could have a somewhat reasonable

854
00:59:28,799 --> 00:59:36,640
form factor somewhat reasonable weight and perform well let's say as well as a

855
00:59:34,440 --> 00:59:40,880
device today we'd be looking at significantly downgraded Hardware it

856
00:59:39,240 --> 00:59:43,720
would have to be much lower power it would have to be much smaller to make up

857
00:59:42,280 --> 00:59:47,880
for all the extra room that you're going to waste with the housings that have to

858
00:59:46,440 --> 00:59:52,160
go around each component and with the interconnects that have to be built into

859
00:59:49,559 --> 00:59:55,280
it and the like in order to compensate for that we're going to be looking at

860
00:59:53,160 --> 01:00:00,720
low-end devices and I think that that's where something like Project Ara could

861
00:59:56,880 --> 01:00:02,079
be great for developing nations where I

862
01:00:00,720 --> 01:00:08,200
think all these enthusiasts are getting excited thinking that we're going to be building high-end Uber phones that you

863
01:00:06,280 --> 01:00:11,319
can up you I'll be able to upgrade it with a 16 core processor this and yeah

864
01:00:09,920 --> 01:00:15,160
sure if you wanted it to be this thick or whatever else we are very quickly

865
01:00:13,480 --> 01:00:19,599
reaching a lot of there's a great article on PC per about how graphics

866
01:00:17,200 --> 01:00:23,280
card performance is slowing down and we've seen explosive growth in Mobile

867
01:00:21,720 --> 01:00:27,200
but for many of the same reasons that we saw explosive growth in graphics cards

868
01:00:24,960 --> 01:00:30,760
compared to CPUs where wasn't just that the manufacturing processes were

869
01:00:28,599 --> 01:00:35,880
shrinking the other thing going on here was that the manufacturers were learning

870
01:00:32,520 --> 01:00:38,799
how to optimize for this well phones are

871
01:00:35,880 --> 01:00:42,799
already not able to really benefit from manufacturing process shrinks in the

872
01:00:40,799 --> 01:00:46,480
same way that graphics cards and CPUs were able to benefit for years so what

873
01:00:44,640 --> 01:00:50,319
we're seeing right now is some benefit there but a lot of it is actually just

874
01:00:48,720 --> 01:00:54,680
coming from optimization so once they get a good handle on how to design these

875
01:00:52,520 --> 01:00:57,359
things to get more power we're just going to have to draw more power and

876
01:00:56,160 --> 01:01:04,760
it's just going to have to be bigger and need more Cooling and all that stuff and obviously Mo's law isn't done yet not by

877
01:01:01,160 --> 01:01:06,440
a long shot but for for for Project Ara

878
01:01:04,760 --> 01:01:09,319
to come in a reasonable period of time and be in a reasonable form factor I

879
01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:15,960
think it's a low-end play and I think it makes a ton of sense there where again

880
01:01:11,839 --> 01:01:18,400
replacement parts or lowcost upgrades or

881
01:01:15,960 --> 01:01:22,039
you know saving on electronic waste these are all great things that are

882
01:01:19,599 --> 01:01:27,839
going to happen but not at the highend the high-end you know U developed Nation

883
01:01:24,960 --> 01:01:33,400
consumer has shown time and time again that they want an Alienware or they want

884
01:01:31,119 --> 01:01:38,039
a MacBook Pro or they want these highly integrated devices that have economies

885
01:01:36,039 --> 01:01:41,599
of scale on their side in terms of cost as well in addition to the manufacturing

886
01:01:40,400 --> 01:01:47,480
advantages and the fact that they're lighter and thinner and faster and etc

887
01:01:44,079 --> 01:01:49,160
etc etc not an alien wor so much but uh

888
01:01:47,480 --> 01:01:52,480
they're heavier they're faster I was talking about their laptop specifically

889
01:01:51,039 --> 01:01:56,440
they're faster yeah they'll have like SLI GTX 680m yeah but other people may

890
01:01:55,520 --> 01:02:01,920
yeah but I mean they're faster than a highly integrated solution yeah okay so I

891
01:02:00,640 --> 01:02:06,000
looked up the Google thing and what I was confused about was how they were when they were selling Enterprise drives

892
01:02:04,960 --> 01:02:10,760
and everyone was like how the hell are they doing that are they making their own yeah I didn't end up following that

893
01:02:08,599 --> 01:02:13,720
up so I thought they making yeah okay I think the issue with volume today is

894
01:02:12,240 --> 01:02:17,799
that that's really far away we need to get that closer it needs to be like here

895
01:02:16,520 --> 01:02:22,400
um so we can well don't worry we'll reposition the mic next week I'll just yell more to compensate hopefully that

896
01:02:21,319 --> 01:02:29,520
makes up for that's going to make it Peak because the gain's too high apparently so oh

897
01:02:26,599 --> 01:02:34,640
fine uh so moving right on to Google Smartwatch and Google Glass news this is

898
01:02:32,079 --> 01:02:39,680
of course a huge deal with the Kit Kat optimizations for low power devices with

899
01:02:37,160 --> 01:02:44,079
the my internet is apparently being a giant turd I have you keep disconnecting

900
01:02:41,799 --> 01:02:48,640
yeah I have no idea what's phone the issue is my notebook I think I think it

901
01:02:45,680 --> 01:02:51,640
needs a restart so um you know what well let's just let's just talk about it if

902
01:02:50,079 --> 01:02:58,839
if you let me diagnose this you can talk about what's on there right turn it off and back on again um did you try to

903
01:02:55,960 --> 01:03:03,680
rebooted yes I did thank you it Crow's awesome I actually expected you to kind

904
01:03:01,160 --> 01:03:07,079
of Knight through this whole topic okay pick another topic then maybe do some of

905
01:03:05,160 --> 01:03:10,640
our uh I tried see I'm so used to touchcreen I tried to scroll his uh his

906
01:03:09,039 --> 01:03:15,559
laptop okay I don't even like it go down and do some of our rapid fire topics um

907
01:03:12,880 --> 01:03:20,680
can I do graphics cards no I want to get into that one so yeah don't worry guys

908
01:03:17,720 --> 01:03:24,200
it's coming uh give me one sec so amongst a few things one of the most

909
01:03:22,520 --> 01:03:29,920
ridiculous topics we have this week is actually the massive EXP that just took

910
01:03:27,039 --> 01:03:35,960
up space and uh kind of sat there in Vancouver which is kind of good job you

911
01:03:34,039 --> 01:03:40,119
took up a parking lot in Vancouver which is like super not helpful for all the

912
01:03:38,119 --> 01:03:44,359
people that have serious trouble parking in Vancouver every single day thank you

913
01:03:42,559 --> 01:03:47,960
for that that was great I don't even go to Vancouver and that drives me a little

914
01:03:45,720 --> 01:03:52,240
bit nuts but either way it's a hype machine so we're talking about it along

915
01:03:49,559 --> 01:03:55,119
as a whole bunch of other people um yeah we don't even care about Xbox one I'm

916
01:03:53,720 --> 01:04:00,000
not planning to buy one someone asked me if I'm going to do an unboxing I said yeah sure if I get a free one yeah I'm

917
01:03:58,240 --> 01:04:06,680
not going to buy buy it though so I think your unboxing would be kind of hilarious I I'd just be like oh yeah

918
01:04:04,039 --> 01:04:11,520
okay so it's a black it's a box I think that's an Xbox logo on the front but uh

919
01:04:08,960 --> 01:04:15,440
it's not the first one so I don't know about that but yeah if you if you can

920
01:04:13,640 --> 01:04:18,839
see in that picture which I'm pointing at which you can't see let me show you

921
01:04:16,720 --> 01:04:24,039
how to point at things you go like this this way there you go there we

922
01:04:21,640 --> 01:04:27,720
go if you can see that if you can see the building behind it you can tell how

923
01:04:25,880 --> 01:04:31,559
actually insanely big that is yeah and like the lines on the parking stalls

924
01:04:29,520 --> 01:04:36,400
right here like it's huge it's ridiculous massive it's really freaking

925
01:04:34,240 --> 01:04:39,920
big and then they're just like yeah it's there so you can like go look at it and

926
01:04:38,160 --> 01:04:43,720
stuff I think you can also enter a contest to win an Xbox One or something

927
01:04:42,000 --> 01:04:49,079
like that if you go there is like uh you can do it online too though you can do

928
01:04:45,599 --> 01:04:50,640
okay well so if you go to a URL which is

929
01:04:49,079 --> 01:04:57,680
I was just planning on us clicking on it but it's xbox.com dca1 Source if you go to that

930
01:04:55,799 --> 01:05:00,920
which is a little bit probably sounded weird and I said it really quickly but

931
01:04:58,839 --> 01:05:04,079
oh well you can put in your Gamertag and I think one or two other little bits of

932
01:05:02,520 --> 01:05:08,960
information you'll be put in a draw to win some stuff right now all we know in

933
01:05:06,440 --> 01:05:12,440
that group of stuff is an Xbox one but there's some other like things that they

934
01:05:10,880 --> 01:05:17,359
haven't really said yet I'm going to go out on a limb and I'm going to say some of the other stuff will be Xbox Live

935
01:05:15,319 --> 01:05:21,799
subscriptions and probably controllers and more Xbox Ones or games or games

936
01:05:20,000 --> 01:05:26,160
perhaps games probably exclusive games probably exclusive games just some

937
01:05:23,799 --> 01:05:29,440
assumptions this is like the I don't know I I wanted to have this in here and

938
01:05:28,160 --> 01:05:32,960
I think you actually added it but I wanted this I didn't remove it because I

939
01:05:31,359 --> 01:05:36,720
thought it was hilarious that they just like were like oh yeah there's a big

940
01:05:34,960 --> 01:05:41,760
Xbox in a parking lot in Vancouver go look at it yeah do that thing hype

941
01:05:39,520 --> 01:05:47,200
machine yeah I don't know kind of obscene um okay so my uh my output's not

942
01:05:45,400 --> 01:05:51,279
working here unless it is which we are about to find out it is a I can jump on

943
01:05:49,760 --> 01:05:56,680
to the next one sure yeah jump on to our next one so a gas station clerk took a

944
01:05:53,960 --> 01:06:02,240
bullet to the chest and was okay and how he did this was by having his phone in

945
01:05:59,279 --> 01:06:07,000
his pocket apparently um so he didn't even actually realize that his phone

946
01:06:04,960 --> 01:06:10,000
like was broken or what was the cause of it until he po it out took it out of his

947
01:06:08,480 --> 01:06:14,599
pocket which I think is kind of crazy but he was probably on an insane adrenalin High because he was just shot

948
01:06:12,920 --> 01:06:19,680
at so he probably didn't feel it because of that but it's actually kind of nuts

949
01:06:17,480 --> 01:06:25,680
so his HTC phone and I'm calling that out for a reason um blocked the bullet

950
01:06:23,079 --> 01:06:30,359
made him not be critically injured or died judging by the fact that a phone

951
01:06:27,480 --> 01:06:34,240
blocked the bullet he maybe not died but either way it wasn't going to be helpful

952
01:06:32,720 --> 01:06:38,599
yeah it wasn't going to be a good situation and then the phone made it a

953
01:06:35,799 --> 01:06:43,200
not bad situation I'm wondering how fast he's going to go out and buy another HTC

954
01:06:40,599 --> 01:06:48,720
phone or how fast HTC sends him a free phone or how fast H exactly I bet you

955
01:06:46,680 --> 01:06:52,279
his next phone however he gets it will probably be an HTC phone so there's a

956
01:06:51,119 --> 01:06:58,359
picture of the phone you can see the bullet entry right there and how it just decimated the screen but but it's a

957
01:06:56,039 --> 01:07:02,680
bullet so yeah maybe what we should do is uh instead of drop test is uh

958
01:07:00,359 --> 01:07:05,839
criticize criticize HTC for the phone breaking it's it's ridiculous I can't

959
01:07:04,440 --> 01:07:09,200
believe they think this level of quality is acceptable in today's market what we

960
01:07:07,760 --> 01:07:14,279
should do is we should bullet test an Xbox one as part of the unboxing we should

961
01:07:12,920 --> 01:07:19,000
take it out to a range and just shoot the crap you have a you have a license

962
01:07:16,520 --> 01:07:22,240
right yeah yeah okay so we could legitimately do it without it just being

963
01:07:20,599 --> 01:07:26,200
like you can go to a range and shoot without a license a license is only for

964
01:07:24,240 --> 01:07:31,440
purchasing and um holding on to like having acquiring

965
01:07:29,200 --> 01:07:34,839
purchasing all you can go shooting like you can actually go with someone into

966
01:07:32,839 --> 01:07:39,160
the woods to an area where you can shoot and if they own the gun you can shoot

967
01:07:36,680 --> 01:07:41,839
and that's not illegal oh okay not that any of this matters for the stream but

968
01:07:40,520 --> 01:07:45,720
yeah just putting this out there so we can yeah this would be no problem if we wanted to go shoot stuff okay so here's

969
01:07:44,720 --> 01:07:52,839
what I'm going to have to do I'm just going to have to build us um another little uh scene here guys give us a

970
01:07:50,279 --> 01:07:56,079
moment here oh look at that we already have this one so then all we have to do

971
01:07:54,920 --> 01:08:02,760
is add screen region boo what did I do oh that

972
01:07:59,920 --> 01:08:05,640
was grabbed the side on yeah I got this there we go there we go okay so we're

973
01:08:04,440 --> 01:08:12,359
adding the screen region all right so let's move into our next topic which

974
01:08:10,200 --> 01:08:16,520
is oh you know what I probably kind of did this wrong sorry everyone there we

975
01:08:14,400 --> 01:08:22,839
go let's go move ourselves into the corner

976
01:08:18,279 --> 01:08:24,920
and yeah expit go away okay Google

977
01:08:22,839 --> 01:08:29,759
Smartwatch and Google Glass news so this was from ABC News New with new Google

978
01:08:28,199 --> 01:08:34,319
Glass and Smartwatch Google wants to be all over your body and they're not the

979
01:08:31,640 --> 01:08:37,040
only one if your name is Slick because I want to be all over your body I knew

980
01:08:35,839 --> 01:08:41,719
where that was going all right so the Explorer Edition so first up Glass

981
01:08:39,679 --> 01:08:46,839
Explorer Edition owners can invite up to three others so I actually reached out

982
01:08:43,520 --> 01:08:48,960
to Marcus brownley from MKBHD already I

983
01:08:46,839 --> 01:08:52,319
am assuming that this all works and goes according to plan going to be getting my

984
01:08:50,359 --> 01:08:57,480
hands on this one it's available in new colors with a new earbud which I kind of

985
01:08:55,719 --> 01:09:04,560
look at and I go oh man that's going to look ridiculous but h i I see how it's

986
01:09:02,040 --> 01:09:07,799
necessary but I'm not I'm not super thrilled on it no I don't think there's

987
01:09:06,080 --> 01:09:12,560
a picture but I think it looks it looks pretty ridiculous um but a bigger thing

988
01:09:10,440 --> 01:09:19,199
is that it is now prescription compatible so that is pretty darn cool

989
01:09:15,640 --> 01:09:21,719
that is a really big deal um it is still

990
01:09:19,199 --> 01:09:24,759
sort of slated for a 2014 launch and they haven't said anything about whether

991
01:09:23,480 --> 01:09:28,799
battery life has been dramatically improved in any anyway so um I'm going

992
01:09:27,080 --> 01:09:32,480
to I'm excited to try out Explorer I'm sure you're excited to try it out yeah

993
01:09:30,520 --> 01:09:35,920
for sure and one thing is the new Kit Kat update actually helps with battery

994
01:09:34,279 --> 01:09:39,799
life a little bit in the Bluetooth and Wi-Fi regions if I remember correctly

995
01:09:38,080 --> 01:09:44,319
who knows where they were targeting that smart watches class SmartWatches and

996
01:09:42,040 --> 01:09:48,560
glass so so I think if even if they didn't do anything necessarily to Glass

997
01:09:47,040 --> 01:09:54,279
in particular for battery life I think it'll be slightly better just because of those two protocols all right so our

998
01:09:51,719 --> 01:09:58,920
next thing here boom sorry guys this is going to be a little bit inelegant for

999
01:09:55,719 --> 01:10:03,320
now um and that oh right I I went to it

1000
01:09:58,920 --> 01:10:05,320
on my laptop because I'm used to that so

1001
01:10:03,320 --> 01:10:09,640
good heck's going on here all right so Google May launch a smartwatch before

1002
01:10:07,679 --> 01:10:13,679
Apple the new device would be quote unquote personal

1003
01:10:11,440 --> 01:10:18,440
assistant so obviously the one in the picture guys is not a rumored Google

1004
01:10:16,120 --> 01:10:23,560
Smartwatch that is the Galaxy Gear from Samsung yeah so go it's interesting it

1005
01:10:21,760 --> 01:10:29,000
kind of reminds me of how you treat your Pebble actually which is more like you

1006
01:10:27,040 --> 01:10:32,600
get messages there and you'll notice that someone's calling you and then

1007
01:10:30,360 --> 01:10:36,480
you'll go get your phone it's not really necessarily like something to do a whole

1008
01:10:34,679 --> 01:10:40,320
bunch of things on no and I think that's where Samsung really went wrong they

1009
01:10:38,760 --> 01:10:44,719
tried to make it too much it's like oh well you can return text you can do this you can do you know what I can still do

1010
01:10:42,640 --> 01:10:48,239
that faster on my phone yeah and I actually I I like the way you use it

1011
01:10:46,679 --> 01:10:51,320
because I know even if you don't have your phone on you if I need to just text

1012
01:10:49,960 --> 01:10:55,520
you something that I don't really need to reply back from I just need you to

1013
01:10:53,320 --> 01:10:58,719
know I'll just be like bo bo bo I just don't even care it saved my bacon a

1014
01:10:57,080 --> 01:11:01,920
number of times I was on a court playing badminton and I had left my phone off to

1015
01:11:00,400 --> 01:11:05,520
the side as I'm apt to do and I got a message from my parents that they

1016
01:11:03,520 --> 01:11:09,280
couldn't bring my baby home and I had to go get him so I was able to go get him

1017
01:11:07,120 --> 01:11:13,480
before it was bedtime and then uh just today I had left my phone on the table

1018
01:11:11,320 --> 01:11:17,480
because we were playing music off of it and uh I got a message from you I think

1019
01:11:16,159 --> 01:11:22,600
and it was important and I was like oh oh balls where's my phone but that's that's good and it

1020
01:11:21,000 --> 01:11:26,080
makes a lot of sense and I like that angle actually because that at least for

1021
01:11:24,440 --> 01:11:29,600
now is where I think smart watches should be oh if Google's watching or

1022
01:11:27,920 --> 01:11:35,440
anyone's watching you know those things that you can keep in your wallet that set off proximity alarms like proximo uh

1023
01:11:33,800 --> 01:11:39,080
that needs to be built into SmartWatches so we can enable functionality where if

1024
01:11:37,000 --> 01:11:44,120
I go too far away from my phone it'll uh it'll let me know so there anyone

1025
01:11:41,560 --> 01:11:47,639
listening there's my uh all I want is 20 bucks okay so if anyone implements that

1026
01:11:46,080 --> 01:11:51,920
idea 20 bucks and you can have the patent I don't care no not per just 20 I

1027
01:11:50,560 --> 01:11:55,840
just want 20 bucks or even just buy me a pizza there we'll call I think that might have happened we'll call that done

1028
01:11:54,719 --> 01:12:01,920
if someone's already done it then whatever oh someone bought us a p oh what I think Brandon has it a pizza I

1029
01:12:00,120 --> 01:12:07,600
think so what I'm pretty sure Brandon do you have

1030
01:12:05,560 --> 01:12:13,199
pizza I think he was letting us finish our topic who hey there's Pizza wow okay

1031
01:12:11,840 --> 01:12:20,440
so someone Implement is going to implement this idea oh so it's from The

1032
01:12:16,920 --> 01:12:21,159
Forum there you go a thank you what is

1033
01:12:20,440 --> 01:12:26,840
it celebrating I don't think

1034
01:12:23,760 --> 01:12:28,440
anything how did they get this address I

1035
01:12:26,840 --> 01:12:33,719
know how I didn't give it to them I know how it was you

1036
01:12:30,880 --> 01:12:38,600
oh well thank you guys very much for the pizza so uh because because it's what

1037
01:12:36,320 --> 01:12:43,040
the alpha male does I'm going to eat first while slick has to uh while slick

1038
01:12:41,320 --> 01:12:46,120
has to talk about our new topic I think there's specific rules that you can't

1039
01:12:44,520 --> 01:12:51,400
have any I don't know if those rules stayed no too

1040
01:12:47,639 --> 01:12:53,480
bad so the FAA is loosening the rules

1041
01:12:51,400 --> 01:12:58,679
for E devices on airline flights this was posted by donon whatever man I don't

1042
01:12:56,280 --> 01:13:02,600
know what to tell you Del okay so there's a picture of someone using a

1043
01:12:59,960 --> 01:13:05,320
laptop on a flight and all I have to say is about fraking time and then I'm

1044
01:13:03,840 --> 01:13:09,920
having a piece of pizza yeah it should have happened a long time ago it's been kind of ridiculous even when I was a kid

1045
01:13:08,080 --> 01:13:13,440
playing Game Boy Color on the phone on the on the plane sorry not the phone um

1046
01:13:12,280 --> 01:13:19,880
when the lady would come by and tell me to turn it off I'd just be

1047
01:13:15,960 --> 01:13:22,120
like really like even as a kid how does

1048
01:13:19,880 --> 01:13:25,600
what no there's no way this I'm going to take down a plane with my game boy like

1049
01:13:24,280 --> 01:13:29,199
that's ridiculous and and it's been kind of crazy forever one thing that I think

1050
01:13:27,320 --> 01:13:33,320
is nuts about this is that there's so much crap going on right now and like

1051
01:13:31,679 --> 01:13:39,040
the senate had to get behind this to push it through like couldn't you do

1052
01:13:36,320 --> 01:13:43,480
other stuff like I'm happy this happened and I do actually I don't think it's

1053
01:13:41,080 --> 01:13:47,520
important necessarily but I think it was ridiculous that it existed and I'm happy

1054
01:13:45,320 --> 01:13:51,360
it's gone and it should have been gone I just don't think it necessarily needed

1055
01:13:50,199 --> 01:13:57,040
the like I don't think it should have been required the amount of as it was

1056
01:13:54,080 --> 01:14:02,600
that's ridiculous been so simple now it's not like all the devices all the

1057
01:13:59,400 --> 01:14:05,000
time so phones are still not allowed um

1058
01:14:02,600 --> 01:14:08,520
unless they're in airplane mode and I think they're still asking for certain

1059
01:14:06,440 --> 01:14:12,199
things during taxi and takeoff and you know what some of the concerns I kind of

1060
01:14:10,520 --> 01:14:15,880
understand having a bunch of laptops and like trade tables down and all this

1061
01:14:13,840 --> 01:14:19,600
stuff going on when you're when you're landing and things could be flying

1062
01:14:17,280 --> 01:14:24,560
around in an emergency lot of heavy devices so like this laptop would be

1063
01:14:22,840 --> 01:14:28,719
You' have to Stow it which makes sense because like I think it's 90% of the

1064
01:14:26,679 --> 01:14:33,360
problems happen within 10k of Landing or taking off so if if if there's a higher

1065
01:14:32,040 --> 01:14:38,199
possibility of a problem stole your device that could knock someone out and I get that but on the other hand if I'm

1066
01:14:36,480 --> 01:14:42,600
like if I got my earbuds in and my phone's in my pocket come on man I mean

1067
01:14:40,320 --> 01:14:45,840
honestly I do it anyway I usually wear a hood when I fly so I just put my hood on

1068
01:14:44,520 --> 01:14:50,600
and then I have my earbud going around the other side and then I just have my phone in my pocket and and there's no

1069
01:14:48,719 --> 01:14:53,679
there's no amplification of the signals by having that many of them Wi-Fi is

1070
01:14:52,320 --> 01:14:58,600
going to be allowed now and I've had people saying why would you want Wi-Fi on a plane I can think of a hundred

1071
01:14:56,280 --> 01:15:02,880
reasons to have Wi-Fi on a plane DS multiplayer um you can stream

1072
01:15:00,880 --> 01:15:06,760
multiplayer sweet I know right uh you can stream using like uh to your

1073
01:15:04,880 --> 01:15:09,719
smartphone using those little like external hard drives that are battery

1074
01:15:08,320 --> 01:15:13,639
powered this is something that I do all the time um no it's

1075
01:15:11,560 --> 01:15:17,080
fantastic all right so moving on to our next topic which I would normally open

1076
01:15:15,239 --> 01:15:20,239
up on my laptop but instead I'm going to open it up over here because for

1077
01:15:18,239 --> 01:15:25,480
whatever reason my output's not working I I blame DisplayPort even though I

1078
01:15:22,320 --> 01:15:27,199
love DisplayPort so this is something

1079
01:15:25,480 --> 01:15:33,840
hard to even call a rumor with a straight face this was tweeted to me by

1080
01:15:29,719 --> 01:15:37,920
St toe and it's from overclockers

1081
01:15:33,840 --> 01:15:41,159
do.uk where some guy if you scroll down

1082
01:15:37,920 --> 01:15:42,840
where's his GPU Z shot I think it's uh

1083
01:15:41,159 --> 01:15:49,199
no Catalyst Control Center yeah okay so R9 200 series etc

1084
01:15:46,040 --> 01:15:51,440
etc etc ah yes here so his frequency is

1085
01:15:49,199 --> 01:15:58,040
wrong okay so there's there's hint number one and then I don't know if we

1086
01:15:53,800 --> 01:16:00,639
see spe there we go so the frequency is

1087
01:15:58,040 --> 01:16:05,520
wrong and the number of where are the stream processors I don't see them they

1088
01:16:03,440 --> 01:16:10,800
must be ha maybe they're not anyway the frequency is wrong this is according to

1089
01:16:09,040 --> 01:16:16,800
the rumors which it's really hard to call rumors with a straight face now uh

1090
01:16:13,040 --> 01:16:19,120
radon 290 instead of a 290x so a

1091
01:16:16,800 --> 01:16:25,760
retailer in Europe managed to accidentally ship a an r9290 to a member

1092
01:16:23,440 --> 01:16:30,199
of overclockers obviously the guy is like yeah I ordered

1093
01:16:27,800 --> 01:16:34,800
a 290x so I'm going to exchange it but not until I benchmarked it my favorite

1094
01:16:32,560 --> 01:16:37,800
part is like people are seem kind of unsure and he's not releasing a ton of

1095
01:16:36,440 --> 01:16:44,280
information and then all of a sudden he's like GPU photo of the Box photo of

1096
01:16:41,719 --> 01:16:49,000
the card like yep it's pretty epic now there's an

1097
01:16:46,400 --> 01:16:53,280
issue with this a lot of the time when we say okay but bear in mind Guys these

1098
01:16:50,880 --> 01:16:56,600
are early benchmarks actually there's not going to be that much of a

1099
01:16:54,239 --> 01:17:00,719
difference espe ESP with CPUs when we see that I mean they always have it

1100
01:16:58,960 --> 01:17:06,080
every single time somehow Toms gets a sample like six months early go back and

1101
01:17:04,000 --> 01:17:10,920
look at all of those and it's basically the same performance I mean someone like

1102
01:17:08,040 --> 01:17:14,239
Intel has finalized pretty much everything and they're working on

1103
01:17:12,440 --> 01:17:18,239
fine-tuning for like the last six months leading up to a launch that's how they

1104
01:17:16,120 --> 01:17:21,159
project launch days a quarter or two quarters in advance because they know

1105
01:17:19,639 --> 01:17:26,239
it's done I don't actually find graphics cards to be the same they're ramping up production graphics cards are a little

1106
01:17:23,920 --> 01:17:29,960
bit different yeah where particularly the hardware was probably done a while

1107
01:17:27,800 --> 01:17:33,920
ago but the drivers could be being tweaked in the days leading up to the

1108
01:17:31,280 --> 01:17:38,880
launch or even the days after the launch so whatever benchmarks that he's run I

1109
01:17:36,679 --> 01:17:43,800
know for a fact that those performance numbers may not have very much to do at

1110
01:17:41,520 --> 01:17:47,560
all with how r9290 performs I thought you going the other way and I was like

1111
01:17:45,120 --> 01:17:51,719
whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa no no no I mean so so guys take them with a grain of

1112
01:17:49,320 --> 01:17:56,360
salt but until we know pricing and the real performance of r9290 we won't know

1113
01:17:54,960 --> 01:18:03,080
sorry I got something in my eye the whole story all right r9290 and like it

1114
01:18:00,639 --> 01:18:07,679
it could be it could be accurate could be accurate it's all speculation right

1115
01:18:05,920 --> 01:18:12,560
now yeah all right so moving on to our next

1116
01:18:10,480 --> 01:18:18,560
topic this is another rumor this was posted online as Tech tips forum and uh

1117
01:18:15,400 --> 01:18:21,440
it's got the classic fry GIF shut up GIF

1118
01:18:18,560 --> 01:18:26,000
sorry Shut Up And Take My Money the rumor and which we can't verify is that

1119
01:18:23,480 --> 01:18:31,639
the GeForce GTX 7 GTI has 2,880 Cuda

1120
01:18:28,000 --> 01:18:35,760
cores all right so that if it were true

1121
01:18:31,639 --> 01:18:37,120
would be more than GeForce GTX Titan so

1122
01:18:35,760 --> 01:18:41,880
here's all the rumors you guys can check out the thread it was posted by you

1123
01:18:38,840 --> 01:18:43,400
better not and of course um the you

1124
01:18:41,880 --> 01:18:46,760
better not thing is we better not discuss anything that we're under NDA

1125
01:18:45,000 --> 01:18:50,520
about so all we can say is this is what's in that thread there are rumors

1126
01:18:49,040 --> 01:18:55,000
out there on the internet that it'll be available in 3 gig 6 gig and 12 gig

1127
01:18:53,400 --> 01:19:00,320
configurations um although I think the Galaxy images

1128
01:18:57,760 --> 01:19:03,920
are actually pretty interesting are they is it yeah it was it was galaxy images I

1129
01:19:02,400 --> 01:19:08,280
think that showed like three different configurations um there's stuff that's

1130
01:19:06,080 --> 01:19:13,080
no surprise like support for NVIDIA surround and adaptive vsync that I think

1131
01:19:10,400 --> 01:19:15,920
were're probably we I mean okay I'm not going to say it but I think it would be

1132
01:19:14,560 --> 01:19:21,000
stupid if something like that was even under embargo but there you go guys the

1133
01:19:18,239 --> 01:19:24,920
rumors are out there our card is here we've been briefed on it and we are very

1134
01:19:23,080 --> 01:19:30,199
excited to bring you coverage of it as soon as we can but uh that is all we can

1135
01:19:27,719 --> 01:19:34,320
really say for now what we can say is that with everything that's been going

1136
01:19:31,719 --> 01:19:39,520
on lately between AMG and NVIDIA man shots fired shots fired back shots

1137
01:19:37,320 --> 01:19:43,120
returned I mean will these it it feels like one of the ships has to sink

1138
01:19:41,760 --> 01:19:48,960
they're going to run out of cards or they're going to run out of bullets with all the launches and

1139
01:19:46,800 --> 01:19:52,360
pricing tweaks and performance tweaks and everything that's going on it is an

1140
01:19:50,360 --> 01:19:56,480
exciting time for graphics card technology right now and next week we

1141
01:19:54,800 --> 01:20:00,760
think we're going to finally see all the dust settle and all the cards will be on

1142
01:19:58,320 --> 01:20:04,880
the table and we have a lot of videos coming out next week so a lot of plans

1143
01:20:02,440 --> 01:20:08,920
like Battlefield 4 performance roundups stay tuned for that through the roof we

1144
01:20:06,320 --> 01:20:12,400
have we have so Battlefield 4 we have uh two different GPU tests coming we have

1145
01:20:10,679 --> 01:20:15,639
GPU test coming tonight which is going to be like really really early drivers

1146
01:20:14,000 --> 01:20:18,600
aren't optimized yet he's determined to do it tonight it's like not shot yet

1147
01:20:17,159 --> 01:20:25,840
right it's not shot yet but all the performance testing you spent like the last two days I'm it's releasing tonight

1148
01:20:22,520 --> 01:20:26,840
I'm not losing all that work there is

1149
01:20:25,840 --> 01:20:32,320
days ofar iname playthroughs which what we do

1150
01:20:30,120 --> 01:20:36,560
all cards overclocked which what we do stay tuned it's going to be awesome yeah

1151
01:20:34,880 --> 01:20:39,440
and like yeah the drivers are not optimized yet and there's a few things

1152
01:20:37,920 --> 01:20:44,159
and because of that reason we're going to have another GPU followup once the

1153
01:20:41,560 --> 01:20:49,920
two other cards that are coming out is sometime in the future are out we'll

1154
01:20:46,000 --> 01:20:53,719
have a follow up then all right brothers

1155
01:20:49,920 --> 01:20:56,239
and sisters this is a bit of a direct

1156
01:20:53,719 --> 01:21:00,639
response to to a particular Twitter follower who keeps trolling me about

1157
01:20:59,280 --> 01:21:04,159
well I shouldn't say trolling keeps harassing me what word should I use you

1158
01:21:02,880 --> 01:21:08,639
know the guy I'm talking about right Alexander I don't know what is this even

1159
01:21:06,560 --> 01:21:12,719
all right this is the uh this is the Forgotten oh yes yes yes I what you're

1160
01:21:10,600 --> 01:21:16,760
talking about who keeps getting on my case about not talking about the

1161
01:21:14,960 --> 01:21:21,320
positive things about Bitcoin because typically it only really makes news for

1162
01:21:19,159 --> 01:21:24,800
us when something disastrous happens like it turns out that however many

1163
01:21:22,920 --> 01:21:28,880
percentage of the transactions were drug related or it turns out this or it turns

1164
01:21:27,120 --> 01:21:34,639
out that or some exchange shuts down that's the only time we really talk about it so now just for you man we are

1165
01:21:32,760 --> 01:21:42,440
going to talk about one of the most positive things that could possibly

1166
01:21:37,280 --> 01:21:45,560
exist about any currency this guy buys

1167
01:21:42,440 --> 01:21:47,400
$27 worth of bitcoin is now worth about

1168
01:21:45,560 --> 01:21:51,800
a million bucks which is amazing so what what he

1169
01:21:50,239 --> 01:21:58,239
did was when it was worth around I think it was like 880,000 is he sold out he

1170
01:21:55,239 --> 01:22:00,400
cashed in at about a fifth one of his

1171
01:21:58,239 --> 01:22:06,080
coins and then bought an apartment in like one of the nicest places where he

1172
01:22:02,400 --> 01:22:09,679
lives which is like sweet he bought

1173
01:22:06,080 --> 01:22:11,280
5,000 Bitcoins in 2009 for 27 bucks and

1174
01:22:09,679 --> 01:22:16,120
the only reason he bought it was because he was interested in

1175
01:22:14,159 --> 01:22:19,760
encryption I think he was doing like a paper or something right yeah I'm just

1176
01:22:17,840 --> 01:22:23,040
trying to just trying to find it yeah working on a thesis paper about

1177
01:22:21,080 --> 01:22:27,040
encryption was introduced to the Bitcoin and was like

1178
01:22:25,520 --> 01:22:30,960
I'll buy a for you just to see kind of how it works uh saves his wallet

1179
01:22:28,960 --> 01:22:36,159
password somewhere forgets it and leaves it there uh eventually heard about how

1180
01:22:34,040 --> 01:22:40,960
exploded it was hunted for his password found his password oh my God I have

1181
01:22:37,960 --> 01:22:42,600
basically a million dollars amazing so

1182
01:22:40,960 --> 01:22:47,000
there you go man stop bugging me on Twitter about it now all right we've got

1183
01:22:45,159 --> 01:22:51,080
some more uh I think that's it for let's go back to our to our headline items to

1184
01:22:48,800 --> 01:22:54,199
make sure that we discussed everything um BBM okay but that's not one of our

1185
01:22:52,639 --> 01:22:59,760
headline ones so we we've covered all that stuff um oh yeah yeah let's do BBM

1186
01:22:57,760 --> 01:23:04,560
all right we jumped over because we talk about too much fun stuff so BBM got I

1187
01:23:01,840 --> 01:23:08,320
think 10 million 10 million downloads in the first day now there's a few kind of

1188
01:23:06,280 --> 01:23:11,800
interesting speculations about this actually posted by the point blank on

1189
01:23:10,480 --> 01:23:17,520
the Linus Tech tips Forum if you guys aren't a member go join the Linus Tech tips Forum yeah we had some people show

1190
01:23:15,040 --> 01:23:20,600
up at our Meetup who weren't members so we chastised them thoroughly i' I've

1191
01:23:19,639 --> 01:23:27,840
noticed a few of them are already members that's good yeah they did well to do so um so one thing that I kind of

1192
01:23:25,760 --> 01:23:34,000
was interested in when I first read this was there was that massive amount of

1193
01:23:30,560 --> 01:23:37,440
copypaste purchased reviews M so how

1194
01:23:34,000 --> 01:23:39,320
many downloads are legitimate and how

1195
01:23:37,440 --> 01:23:43,159
many are actually 10 million on the first day cuz if I'm Blackberry I'm

1196
01:23:41,040 --> 01:23:47,800
probably pretty clever with respect to spoofing IP addresses or faking

1197
01:23:45,600 --> 01:23:52,080
downloads of something yeah so they got a lot of downloads I don't know if it

1198
01:23:49,520 --> 01:23:54,719
was actually 10 million but I have seen a lot of people like just friends of

1199
01:23:53,320 --> 01:23:58,239
mine and stuff talking about about it and download it and using it so they are

1200
01:23:56,440 --> 01:24:02,159
getting a lot of downloads I don't know exactly how much it is it is actually

1201
01:24:00,199 --> 01:24:05,280
pretty cool a few main things that I want to point out that it actually does

1202
01:24:03,880 --> 01:24:09,280
is you don't have to give out your phone number to be able to use it which is

1203
01:24:07,239 --> 01:24:12,000
awesome if you're selling stuff online or just like using Craigslist or

1204
01:24:10,840 --> 01:24:17,080
anything like that or if you're someone like me who wants to communicate with

1205
01:24:14,600 --> 01:24:21,400
you know uh followers or whoever else doesn't necessarily want phone calls

1206
01:24:18,760 --> 01:24:25,360
yeah so that's actually very cool uh picture picture sending doesn't suck

1207
01:24:23,239 --> 01:24:30,239
picture sending through text mess just sucks and yes expensive and is expensive

1208
01:24:28,199 --> 01:24:33,120
and there's other services for this but that is just you can have benefits on

1209
01:24:32,040 --> 01:24:38,199
two different I mean that's something that drives me crazy the carriers had

1210
01:24:36,040 --> 01:24:43,000
every opportunity to just crush this whole iMessage and blackberry messaging

1211
01:24:40,520 --> 01:24:48,199
thing by offering more features better security and I mean come on the actual

1212
01:24:46,280 --> 01:24:53,080
amount of data it cost them the like the rates that they charge for texting they

1213
01:24:50,280 --> 01:24:57,239
allowed this whole thing to exist when they could have just made texting fre

1214
01:24:55,159 --> 01:25:02,000
and not had to bother with any of this and like picture test texting is

1215
01:24:59,480 --> 01:25:07,080
terrible yeah and always has been why is it terrible I don't know is ridiculous

1216
01:25:05,000 --> 01:25:10,520
better attachment support you can send like Excel documents and you can send

1217
01:25:09,119 --> 01:25:14,280
all this other stuff which is really cool and it's encrypted end to end it's

1218
01:25:12,320 --> 01:25:17,880
encrypted for you and then it isn't decrypted until it hits the other person

1219
01:25:16,360 --> 01:25:21,840
with the phone and it's apparently not stored on BlackBerry servers I think

1220
01:25:19,679 --> 01:25:24,400
pretty sure um so that's actually really cool if you're someone following the NSA

1221
01:25:23,280 --> 01:25:27,920
stuff and you really care about like kind of stuff and there's a whole bunch

1222
01:25:26,360 --> 01:25:34,480
more that's just all I felt like listing right now um so my thing go ahead my

1223
01:25:32,400 --> 01:25:39,080
thing personally is why the hell didn't this happen years ago and why the hell

1224
01:25:37,639 --> 01:25:44,639
didn't they release their encryption stuff years ago oh like their business

1225
01:25:41,880 --> 01:25:47,719
grade yeah they should have just flipped gears like I don't know how everyone

1226
01:25:46,440 --> 01:25:52,520
didn't notice they should have just flipped gears became a software company

1227
01:25:50,000 --> 01:25:56,480
cuz they're good BBM is good their encryption thing was good they would

1228
01:25:54,080 --> 01:26:00,440
have been really successful and now they have this massive company of Hardware

1229
01:25:58,199 --> 01:26:04,520
stuff that no one cares about and the thing is they could have sold the entire

1230
01:26:02,320 --> 01:26:08,280
ecosystem to corporations I mean it's not just guys remember it's a much

1231
01:26:06,400 --> 01:26:13,000
bigger picture than just selling individual cell phone users you know um

1232
01:26:11,040 --> 01:26:16,679
a secure platform or a secure way of operating their phone or a secure

1233
01:26:14,520 --> 01:26:20,360
messenger because you can sell the backend servers that drive the whole

1234
01:26:18,400 --> 01:26:24,440
thing which they were already heavily invested in so you could you would have

1235
01:26:22,280 --> 01:26:27,760
allowed yourself to not let Android and Apple or Android and iOS catch up to you

1236
01:26:26,840 --> 01:26:33,159
you would have allowed yourself to maintain that dominance there and built a niche but come on I mean who could

1237
01:26:31,080 --> 01:26:37,880
have who could have known that they just didn't stand a chance that Android was

1238
01:26:35,280 --> 01:26:42,639
going to get so much better so fast but years ago they were already

1239
01:26:40,000 --> 01:26:46,400
dead okay like they've they've been dead and flopping around for so long which is

1240
01:26:44,800 --> 01:26:50,760
what I don't understand like yes there was a while there where they were fighting they released the the Bold

1241
01:26:49,320 --> 01:26:56,920
whatever I don't remember the 9300 and they were like kind of cing

1242
01:26:54,480 --> 01:27:01,719
along but then for so long after that they were nothing like why not just flip

1243
01:26:59,679 --> 01:27:05,400
gears or keep producing the hardware whatever to convince investors that it's

1244
01:27:03,679 --> 01:27:09,159
a good idea to do something like that as well and I mean how do you convince

1245
01:27:07,000 --> 01:27:12,440
people that you know a free app is the way forward for your company but the

1246
01:27:10,760 --> 01:27:16,440
encryption and servers and stuff not free app the BBM thing maybe that

1247
01:27:14,960 --> 01:27:22,320
happens later but the encryption and server stuff should have happened a long one way or another guys definitely check

1248
01:27:19,400 --> 01:27:26,760
out BBM um not because we're Canadian and we really want Blackberry to survive

1249
01:27:24,360 --> 01:27:32,679
just because you know it's crossplatform which is great iMessage is fantastic

1250
01:27:30,040 --> 01:27:36,840
except that what it only works with other people who have iOS devices are

1251
01:27:34,080 --> 01:27:40,600
you freaking kidding me Apple like yeah I I'm going to convince all of my

1252
01:27:39,000 --> 01:27:44,880
friends and family that they must use iPhones because I want to use IM messag

1253
01:27:42,400 --> 01:27:49,800
it's ridiculous anyway all right let's move on to the next thing Dell laptops

1254
01:27:47,119 --> 01:27:54,480
Dell issued a recall because they had laptops that smelled like catpa um this

1255
01:27:52,760 --> 01:27:58,320
is don't worry this is a quick top we're not going to talk for too long about

1256
01:27:55,840 --> 01:28:03,239
this but how did this make it through QA honestly like honestly what happened

1257
01:28:01,880 --> 01:28:08,360
here I think that was one of my first comments on the document was like what

1258
01:28:05,520 --> 01:28:12,600
happened so this was posted by chillx Nate On The Forum so the BBC is

1259
01:28:10,400 --> 01:28:14,920
reporting that Dell's latitude 6430u Ultra books have an interesting

1260
01:28:13,719 --> 01:28:19,760
characteristic you won't find in any MacBook Air The Palms rest Palm rest

1261
01:28:17,239 --> 01:28:22,760
emits an odor that smells like cat urine an issue with the manufacturing process

1262
01:28:21,239 --> 01:28:27,119
is thought to be to blame now the funny thing here is you actually have to

1263
01:28:24,719 --> 01:28:30,960
contact Dell and you have to still be within warranty in order to get a

1264
01:28:29,280 --> 01:28:35,280
replacement now it's a business oriented Ultra Book can you imagine walking into

1265
01:28:32,719 --> 01:28:40,320
a business meeting and smelling like cat I mean I have a router that smells

1266
01:28:37,639 --> 01:28:43,760
like Bo which is funny enough but then a laptop that smells like cat you can get

1267
01:28:41,840 --> 01:28:47,199
all kinds of smells out of a faulty plastic manufacturing process and that's

1268
01:28:45,880 --> 01:28:51,679
apparently what happened here it's not a reliability issue or anything like that

1269
01:28:49,440 --> 01:28:54,800
it's just hilarious and it's not bad for your health people speculated about that

1270
01:28:53,400 --> 01:29:00,320
it got a little bit crazy but it's actually fine all right so our last main

1271
01:28:56,960 --> 01:29:01,920
topic of the day before we move on to um

1272
01:29:00,320 --> 01:29:08,119
some of the some of our Forum topics and all that is this video right here this

1273
01:29:04,480 --> 01:29:10,199
was actually tweeted to me by RTE guys

1274
01:29:08,119 --> 01:29:15,040
remember tweeting things to me sometimes works but it's much better and I'll love

1275
01:29:12,320 --> 01:29:20,040
you a lot more if you post on the Forum in the news section because we actually

1276
01:29:17,520 --> 01:29:23,280
have shifted to almost exclusively browsing for news on the Forum because

1277
01:29:21,639 --> 01:29:26,840
we figure what you guys care about is what you want to hear talk about and and

1278
01:29:25,440 --> 01:29:29,600
honestly the new section has gotten so much better oh it's so much better

1279
01:29:28,560 --> 01:29:33,520
pretty much everything ends up there anyway it's so it's so good I mean our

1280
01:29:31,840 --> 01:29:38,080
Forum Community does a great job of maintaining it I mean lineus Tech tips

1281
01:29:35,639 --> 01:29:41,840
Forum News section is my homepage so that's how I stay up to date on

1282
01:29:40,280 --> 01:29:45,520
things which is fantastic to be able to say that about the uh about what the

1283
01:29:43,280 --> 01:29:53,159
community has done there so this video flexible High defin caos displays so

1284
01:29:49,880 --> 01:29:57,280
check this shiz out guys this YouTube

1285
01:29:53,159 --> 01:29:59,400
video right here here I oh but oh yeah

1286
01:29:57,280 --> 01:30:05,199
yeah yeah okay good here we go so let's go ahead and we're just G to um I think

1287
01:30:03,199 --> 01:30:09,760
these advertisement I'm gonna watch Twitch chat because I don't know about

1288
01:30:06,679 --> 01:30:11,719
the audio okay so check this out guys

1289
01:30:09,760 --> 01:30:14,719
just muted that works until now with oxide semiconductors reliability was

1290
01:30:13,400 --> 01:30:18,800
generally a problem check out the way that this display wraps around so you

1291
01:30:17,080 --> 01:30:22,840
could see notifications on the top of the device it's got buttons okay so hold

1292
01:30:21,440 --> 01:30:28,199
on let's let's just go back and look at it again so you you guys should definitely check out this video so it's

1293
01:30:26,040 --> 01:30:31,159
got buttons that sit here on the side and they've got a cool closeup that

1294
01:30:29,639 --> 01:30:36,840
shows you how you might how you might press I mean this is an entirely different way to operate your device and

1295
01:30:35,000 --> 01:30:41,960
then they were also showing off where's the curved battery a curve ah yes

1296
01:30:39,239 --> 01:30:47,239
bendable battery design right here that would be huge for wearable tech tech

1297
01:30:44,880 --> 01:30:52,760
combined with curved displays curved batteries you could be making bracelets

1298
01:30:50,000 --> 01:30:57,960
or armbands or all kinds of crazy awesome wearable techn ology that really

1299
01:30:55,639 --> 01:31:01,280
is whether anyone whether you think so or not really is the future I mean I get

1300
01:30:59,560 --> 01:31:05,639
a kick out of all the speculation about will these guys have a smartwatch will

1301
01:31:02,840 --> 01:31:09,560
SmartWatches be the next yes yes yes it's done it's a foregone conclusion and

1302
01:31:07,480 --> 01:31:12,719
this is absolutely amazing and and like one thing about that too is you can bend

1303
01:31:11,239 --> 01:31:16,520
it around your wrist if it's flat you can bend it around your wrist 10,000

1304
01:31:14,480 --> 01:31:20,440
times apparently before it becomes a problem and you saw their bend test

1305
01:31:18,480 --> 01:31:23,679
there so that's actually pretty cool another crazy thing that they had was

1306
01:31:21,800 --> 01:31:29,199
like I don't remember the exact specs but let me see here a 13 1/2 in 4K

1307
01:31:26,600 --> 01:31:32,639
resolution screen that weighs 10 g go watch that video it's like 4 minutes and

1308
01:31:30,960 --> 01:31:36,880
like it's pretty epic a lot of the time I start watching a video and I'm like okay skim skim I just watched the whole

1309
01:31:35,360 --> 01:31:40,639
thing I was like I need to see this because it's amazing the uh link for it

1310
01:31:38,880 --> 01:31:45,280
will be in the W show Doc at the end you want to start downloading the bill logs

1311
01:31:42,239 --> 01:31:48,880
of the week uh yeah sure is is this it

1312
01:31:45,280 --> 01:31:50,560
uh yeah oh here for crying out loud at

1313
01:31:48,880 --> 01:31:55,480
least we have office on this computer that'll help yes we do okay yay office

1314
01:31:53,520 --> 01:31:59,920
which is still the best so we actually have a bill logs of the week this week

1315
01:31:57,000 --> 01:32:04,840
and it is pretty epic as normal not that surprised um we've changed a little bit

1316
01:32:02,639 --> 01:32:09,719
of the way that we do it uh by suggestion by wher and Dave um my

1317
01:32:08,040 --> 01:32:13,480
moderators who found a better way of doing it so we actually have a little

1318
01:32:11,400 --> 01:32:17,119
bit of hardware specs along with the name at the beginning so if there's

1319
01:32:14,800 --> 01:32:21,600
anything that stands out a little bit we could point it out here the main thing

1320
01:32:18,800 --> 01:32:25,119
being that he went naked on his case which is his brother named his desk the

1321
01:32:23,600 --> 01:32:30,159
plan and it's basically just all sitting on his desk this is a 24 core four

1322
01:32:27,960 --> 01:32:34,920
processor folding machine which is just absolutely Beast well that's one way of

1323
01:32:32,960 --> 01:32:40,000
doing a computer case so it just kind of sits on his

1324
01:32:36,400 --> 01:32:42,480
desk this is a new way of doing a desk

1325
01:32:40,000 --> 01:32:47,239
computer don't even bother bolt it in just you know wood isn't particularly

1326
01:32:45,000 --> 01:32:51,080
electrically conductive so no it's probably fine as long as dust isn't an

1327
01:32:49,199 --> 01:32:55,360
issue and he doesn't accidentally zap it then uh this is an interesting cooler

1328
01:32:53,159 --> 01:32:59,560
layout that we got this is a cable that isn't plugged into anything optical

1329
01:32:57,719 --> 01:33:04,080
drive is clearly too far away to reach an IDE or a SATA

1330
01:33:02,159 --> 01:33:08,119
connector it's kind of awesome there's a little bit more of an updated shot so

1331
01:33:05,560 --> 01:33:12,560
he's actually using a drive cage now yeah all right upgrades and look at the

1332
01:33:10,600 --> 01:33:18,000
it came from a fractal case obviously CU there are the accessories and real

1333
01:33:14,320 --> 01:33:20,199
coolers and more secured cooling setup

1334
01:33:18,000 --> 01:33:24,960
there so he's he's busting out all the folding 24 CPU cores man that's sexy

1335
01:33:23,520 --> 01:33:27,840
that's pretty freaking Beast we're a long way away from games being able to

1336
01:33:26,520 --> 01:33:32,639
leverage something like this but the folding team's been doing really well and in large part thanks to the way that

1337
01:33:30,800 --> 01:33:35,800
folding does leverage more course so that one is for science that one was

1338
01:33:34,239 --> 01:33:38,920
kind of in in big support of our folding team and just to show off some of the interesting things that you can do with

1339
01:33:37,880 --> 01:33:46,239
computers that a lot of people don't actually realize you can now this one check out the case old Russian

1340
01:33:43,800 --> 01:33:51,600
oscilloscope this is pretty cool that is the finished computer wow it's done it's

1341
01:33:49,400 --> 01:33:56,159
in there it works um this isn't if you read the other specs there this is not

1342
01:33:53,800 --> 01:33:58,880
the highest end computer not at all I just I included that cuz I knew you'd

1343
01:33:57,560 --> 01:34:04,880
care because it shows the Finish yeah black prinkle finish it's gorgeous

1344
01:34:00,880 --> 01:34:06,840
yeah so yeah so it's not it's not the

1345
01:34:04,880 --> 01:34:10,960
highest end computer but it's freaking cool and if you go check out all his

1346
01:34:09,360 --> 01:34:16,199
build log you can actually see he takes the whole thing apart like he has to take out the old CRT screen which looks

1347
01:34:14,480 --> 01:34:19,880
ridiculous you got to be careful doing that you don't want them to like explode

1348
01:34:18,119 --> 01:34:24,360
yep and it's it's a really interesting build log also not to a fan not to a fan

1349
01:34:22,199 --> 01:34:27,239
very nice uh so yeah yeah check it out because his build doog is really

1350
01:34:25,400 --> 01:34:31,360
interesting he tears that thing apart and makes just a wonderful little

1351
01:34:29,000 --> 01:34:36,679
machine which is as yeah as you can see oh that's the 24 whatever we're um not

1352
01:34:34,400 --> 01:34:40,119
super high spec but super freaking awesome and yeah I thought those were

1353
01:34:38,719 --> 01:34:43,320
pretty cool okay well I think that's it for the W show for this week unless you

1354
01:34:41,840 --> 01:34:46,320
had anything else to add I think we actually had a very efficient show today

1355
01:34:45,119 --> 01:34:52,560
went pretty quick and covered everything like an hour and a half we ended like right on our Mark and you guys are

1356
01:34:49,719 --> 01:34:55,920
awesome for watching 4500 of you are watching by the end of the show here we

1357
01:34:54,000 --> 01:35:00,840
are as always overwhelmed by your support uh tune in next week same bat

1358
01:34:58,360 --> 01:35:04,159
Time same bat Channel and if you tuned in late or if you know anyone who wants

1359
01:35:02,600 --> 01:35:08,480
to watch or whatever else don't forget the archive always goes up on YouTube

1360
01:35:06,480 --> 01:35:10,960
once we're done with the live show um you know it helps a lot when we don't

1361
01:35:09,480 --> 01:35:14,560
have interruptions I think that was the biggest thing y we didn't have any we

1362
01:35:13,040 --> 01:35:18,440
didn't have any glitchiness today so again thank you for watching until next

1363
01:35:16,679 --> 01:35:22,040
time and a big thanks to our sponsor Hotspot Shield yes one quick thing to

1364
01:35:20,239 --> 01:35:27,800
add after party guys I'm going to be a little bit late because I'm going to finish that

1365
01:35:24,440 --> 01:35:30,199
