00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:07.120
Welcome to Linus Tech Tips at CES 2013. Our trip to the show this year is

00:00:04.720 --> 00:00:11.360
powered by Corsair, maker of quality PC components and peripherals. Our trusted

00:00:09.200 --> 00:00:16.120
storage partner is Seagate Technology and our trusted networking partner is

00:00:13.120 --> 00:00:16.120
Blinkis.

00:00:17.760 --> 00:00:24.320
In the ASUS booth, they have booth suite, whatever you want to call it,

00:00:21.279 --> 00:00:26.240
they have the Cube. This is a Google TV

00:00:24.320 --> 00:00:30.560
ready device that has a lot of very, very cool stuff. So, I'm going to show

00:00:28.160 --> 00:00:34.800
you the cube first. This is an ARM processor. It's got 4 gigs of onboard

00:00:32.480 --> 00:00:39.200
storage. It's got a USB drive. It's got 1 gig of RAM. It's got Ethernet. It's

00:00:36.640 --> 00:00:41.440
got HDMI in and HDMI out. And that's cool. We're going to show you why

00:00:40.239 --> 00:00:46.160
actually. Well, it's kind of behind me already anyway, but no big deal. Uh IR

00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:50.000
out so you can synchronize it with uh with an IR blaster and make sure that it

00:00:48.079 --> 00:00:53.920
sort of acts as a hub for passing signals through to whatever else you

00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:58.239
need. Power in and it basically looks like well a cube. So that's

00:00:55.920 --> 00:01:04.239
appropriately named. More important than that is the remote. So, it's fully

00:01:00.559 --> 00:01:06.640
Netflix ready. Okay. It's got a touchpad

00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:10.560
and buttons so you can decide how exactly you want to use that there

00:01:08.240 --> 00:01:13.439
device. So, the home button takes Oh, yeah. It's got a full keyboard on the

00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:16.400
back. Did I mention that already? I'm pretty sure that I did not. It's got all

00:01:15.360 --> 00:01:21.600
of your main buttons that you're going to need. Your back, your uh your microphone. There's another microphone

00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:26.720
button here that is for controlling the device with Google Voice. Volume up,

00:01:23.520 --> 00:01:29.680
down, channel scroll. And now let's take

00:01:26.720 --> 00:01:33.600
it over to the working model that hopefully I haven't ruined. So it's

00:01:31.439 --> 00:01:37.600
running Android Honeycomb and they have done a custom UI here that is very

00:01:35.360 --> 00:01:41.759
visual. So here should I move over sort of this way. So I want you guys to look

00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:47.520
at this. Basically you navigate it with the remote. So you can see all of your

00:01:44.240 --> 00:01:49.119
uh frequently used

00:01:47.520 --> 00:01:53.920
if I'm not doing I might be doing this wrong somehow.

00:01:51.360 --> 00:01:57.439
We'll be back in a moment. I figured it out. I'm in touchpad mode.

00:01:55.759 --> 00:02:00.880
See, I changed it to touchpad mode when I was tinkering with it. So, let's go

00:01:59.040 --> 00:02:04.719
ahead and switch that out of touchpad mode. So, now we can click the buttons.

00:02:02.960 --> 00:02:08.239
We can navigate. We go Netflix prime time. So, prime time is Google's way of

00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:13.440
aggregating all of your content, whether it's web content or whether it's uh the

00:02:11.039 --> 00:02:17.280
actual your your TV service providers content. You can browse all that stuff.

00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:20.480
IMDb is on there. We're going to flip it around here. So, you got your movies,

00:02:18.879 --> 00:02:24.480
your games. This also is motion sensitive, so you can play motion

00:02:21.920 --> 00:02:29.120
control games. I actually clicked the microphone button, so I'm using Google

00:02:26.560 --> 00:02:32.480
Voice right now. We'll see what it comes up with here,

00:02:30.480 --> 00:02:36.959
guys. I was talking for a while there, but it'll do its best. Go Google. You

00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:40.080
know, you know, we love you. Click the microphone. So, I'm using Google Voice

00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:44.640
right now. See, look at that. It's like bang on. So, now I just have to go back

00:02:43.440 --> 00:02:49.360
so that we're not looking at that anymore. There we go. So, games, social,

00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:53.360
and life. So, you've got a full web browser. Chrome is on here. You can set

00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:58.080
things up exactly the way you want. So, TV. There we go. If I go to Here we go.

00:02:56.640 --> 00:03:01.120
There's the app store. I guess it's called Google Play now, not App Store.

00:02:59.920 --> 00:03:05.680
That's totally the wrong thing to call it at all. And now, oh, I see. So, I was

00:03:03.920 --> 00:03:10.400
in the education hub. So, ah, it's contextual. Very cool. On the side, it's

00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:15.120
totally different stuff depending on There you go. what you're looking at.

00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:19.360
So, let's have a look at the uh at the prime time UI.

00:03:17.599 --> 00:03:23.760
Okay. And last but not least, I want to show

00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:28.560
you guys the live TV button. So, this not only allows you to just switch to

00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:33.920
and watch your live TV, but also you click it. So, you go to your live TV.

00:03:31.519 --> 00:03:36.319
Now, you go to the home screen and it'll actually still play in the background

00:03:35.120 --> 00:03:39.760
while you're doing whatever it is you want to do. So, very cool stuff. And
