hello everyone it's me James and if it's all right with you I was thinking of
sharing some tech news with you all got a few stories that just just tickled me
oh well yeah okay go silence oh it's my
time with the audience Riley we're going to space Yes we
finally figured it out or Jeff Bezos thinks he did anyway rather than let
Elon Musk have a monopoly on dreams of space colonization Bezos shared his
vision for Humanity's Cosmic future at a blue origin event on Thursday the
richest man in the world revealed a fullscale model of the company's moonlander called the Blue Moon which
could deliver up to 3.6 tons of cargo to
the moon and could also be fitted with crew modules to Fair humans to and fro
the lunar surface Bezos also laid out what he thinks is a more viable
alternative for space expansion than musk's plan to colonize and terraform
Mars O'Neal cylinders which are essentially enormous space stations
inside inside which Humanity could build livable environments with cities Farms
mountains and beaches all these plans are starting to seem less like product
or service announcements and more like Rich dude talks about cool sacii stuff
you know what we really need to focus on the warp drive much more practical than
traveling through wormholes yes I agree speaking of rich people Mark Zuckerberg
is under attack from one of his former friends that's made up he never had
friends Chris Hughes one of the four co-founders of Facebook left the company
in 2007 but today wrote an oped in the New York Times denouncing Zuckerberg's
leadership and calling for Facebook to be broken up as in dissolving its
Acquisitions of Instagram and WhatsApp unfortunately he also seemed to advocate
for a government agency that monitors and censors speech on social media
platforms so I don't know if we should listen to good old Chris Hughes for
their part Facebook responded obviously saying that a breakup is not the best
solution in their opinion because Facebook is a uh success uccessful
American company oh dang I forgot Facebook was successful I guess we
should just call the whole thing off that they're doing such a good job and
there's a couple more little tidbits of lingering news from Google IO 2019 the
company talked about its mysterious fuchsia OS for perhaps the first time in
a major way Hiroshi lockheimer that's a
funny pairing head of Android and Chrome OS told reporters that fuchsia is an
open- source project like Android but is meant to run on all kinds of devices
from Smart Home gadgets to phones to laptops and will be compatible with
Android apps Google also announced that all Chromebooks going forward will be
able to run Linux out of the box between this and Windows 10's upcoming native
support for the Linux kernel it's a good time to be a penguin unless your
habitat's getting lost physically a great time to be a virtual penguin and
finally Google naming its smart displays the nest Hub and Nest Hub Max was
indicative of a bigger move than it seemed Nest as a company is now Google
nest and all the company's products are now being moved under the Google
umbrella smart home devices that were part of the works well with Nest program
will no longer work with Nest unless their developers join the works with
Google assistant program that's sad but I've always been more of a burrow guy
you know I'm a I'm a den animal I'm crate trained oh come on now it's time
for quick bit Ubisoft just announced Ghost Recon breakpoint a more survival
focused take on the squad-based third person shooter it will launch on up play
and the Epic gam store and not on Steam
ha but I don't have an opinion but this isn't quite another example of Epic
snagging another exclusive the past couple Ubisoft games have also not been
available on Steam and whether you buy it on Epic or not you'll still have to
launch up play to play it I'm trying to find something to be really mad about
here but I I just can't got to be mad about something I love being mad leaks
showing for the next iPhone seem to be designed to accommodate the three lens
camera module I can't be mad about this either that we've seen in previous leaks
so it's fair to assume that this is what we can expect to see in the iPhone 11 or
uh 10 10i 101 or whatever it is a
shockingly ugly design from Apple in my opinion I mean if it's not beautiful
what's the point you might as well get an ugly Android then that's why people
get Apple products right they're pretty for pretty products for pretty people I
don't know never had one I'm not not good looking enough I guess the EU has
had its way with Google over the tech Giants anti-competitive practices and
now India wants a go this is a little
there's a subtext here did not sound the country's antitrust Watchdog has begun
an investigation which could see Google face staggering fines but they've
already been fined $5 billion in Europe what's another two or three they own
nest now the sky's the limit Amazon's
Jeff Bezos may have moonshot dreams but Alibaba might be set to pull the rug out
from under him here on Earth the Chinese e-commerce giant is now for the first
time allowing foreign companies like Italy Russia Spain and turkey to sell
Goods on its platform the news comes after Amazon announced that it was
ending its domestic e-commerce activity in China you take a step back and they
go right for the jaw doesn't Bezos box
and Dyson is known for its vacuums but the company has revealed a few details
about its upcoming electric vehicle the car could apparently have larger
than average wheels and generous passenger space patents apparently
describe it as an androgynous vehicle I
didn't know inanimate objects could be androgynous wow technology you crazy
come a long way I don't know which sex organs this vehicle has go either way
what if I hang those testicles off the bumper okay I hate those well that's as
good a place as any to end this episode guys so thanks very much for listening
