hello everyone it's me James and if it's all right with you I was thinking of
0:04
sharing some tech news with you all got a few stories that just just tickled me
0:10
oh well yeah okay go silence oh it's my
0:13
time with the audience Riley we're going to space Yes we
0:18
finally figured it out or Jeff Bezos thinks he did anyway rather than let
0:22
Elon Musk have a monopoly on dreams of space colonization Bezos shared his
0:27
vision for Humanity's Cosmic future at a blue origin event on Thursday the
0:32
richest man in the world revealed a fullscale model of the company's moonlander called the Blue Moon which
0:37
could deliver up to 3.6 tons of cargo to
0:40
the moon and could also be fitted with crew modules to Fair humans to and fro
0:46
the lunar surface Bezos also laid out what he thinks is a more viable
0:50
alternative for space expansion than musk's plan to colonize and terraform
0:55
Mars O'Neal cylinders which are essentially enormous space stations
0:59
inside inside which Humanity could build livable environments with cities Farms
1:04
mountains and beaches all these plans are starting to seem less like product
1:08
or service announcements and more like Rich dude talks about cool sacii stuff
1:12
you know what we really need to focus on the warp drive much more practical than
1:17
traveling through wormholes yes I agree speaking of rich people Mark Zuckerberg
1:21
is under attack from one of his former friends that's made up he never had
1:26
friends Chris Hughes one of the four co-founders of Facebook left the company
1:30
in 2007 but today wrote an oped in the New York Times denouncing Zuckerberg's
1:35
leadership and calling for Facebook to be broken up as in dissolving its
1:40
Acquisitions of Instagram and WhatsApp unfortunately he also seemed to advocate
1:43
for a government agency that monitors and censors speech on social media
1:48
platforms so I don't know if we should listen to good old Chris Hughes for
1:52
their part Facebook responded obviously saying that a breakup is not the best
1:56
solution in their opinion because Facebook is a uh success uccessful
2:00
American company oh dang I forgot Facebook was successful I guess we
2:05
should just call the whole thing off that they're doing such a good job and
2:09
there's a couple more little tidbits of lingering news from Google IO 2019 the
2:13
company talked about its mysterious fuchsia OS for perhaps the first time in
2:18
a major way Hiroshi lockheimer that's a
2:22
funny pairing head of Android and Chrome OS told reporters that fuchsia is an
2:26
open- source project like Android but is meant to run on all kinds of devices
2:30
from Smart Home gadgets to phones to laptops and will be compatible with
2:34
Android apps Google also announced that all Chromebooks going forward will be
2:38
able to run Linux out of the box between this and Windows 10's upcoming native
2:42
support for the Linux kernel it's a good time to be a penguin unless your
2:47
habitat's getting lost physically a great time to be a virtual penguin and
2:52
finally Google naming its smart displays the nest Hub and Nest Hub Max was
2:57
indicative of a bigger move than it seemed Nest as a company is now Google
3:02
nest and all the company's products are now being moved under the Google
3:05
umbrella smart home devices that were part of the works well with Nest program
3:09
will no longer work with Nest unless their developers join the works with
3:14
Google assistant program that's sad but I've always been more of a burrow guy
3:19
you know I'm a I'm a den animal I'm crate trained oh come on now it's time
3:24
for quick bit Ubisoft just announced Ghost Recon breakpoint a more survival
3:29
focused take on the squad-based third person shooter it will launch on up play
3:32
and the Epic gam store and not on Steam
3:36
ha but I don't have an opinion but this isn't quite another example of Epic
3:41
snagging another exclusive the past couple Ubisoft games have also not been
3:45
available on Steam and whether you buy it on Epic or not you'll still have to
3:49
launch up play to play it I'm trying to find something to be really mad about
3:53
here but I I just can't got to be mad about something I love being mad leaks
3:59
showing for the next iPhone seem to be designed to accommodate the three lens
4:03
camera module I can't be mad about this either that we've seen in previous leaks
4:08
so it's fair to assume that this is what we can expect to see in the iPhone 11 or
4:14
uh 10 10i 101 or whatever it is a
4:19
shockingly ugly design from Apple in my opinion I mean if it's not beautiful
4:23
what's the point you might as well get an ugly Android then that's why people
4:26
get Apple products right they're pretty for pretty products for pretty people I
4:30
don't know never had one I'm not not good looking enough I guess the EU has
4:34
had its way with Google over the tech Giants anti-competitive practices and
4:38
now India wants a go this is a little
4:42
there's a subtext here did not sound the country's antitrust Watchdog has begun
4:46
an investigation which could see Google face staggering fines but they've
4:51
already been fined $5 billion in Europe what's another two or three they own
4:55
nest now the sky's the limit Amazon's
4:58
Jeff Bezos may have moonshot dreams but Alibaba might be set to pull the rug out
5:03
from under him here on Earth the Chinese e-commerce giant is now for the first
5:07
time allowing foreign companies like Italy Russia Spain and turkey to sell
5:11
Goods on its platform the news comes after Amazon announced that it was
5:15
ending its domestic e-commerce activity in China you take a step back and they
5:20
go right for the jaw doesn't Bezos box
5:24
and Dyson is known for its vacuums but the company has revealed a few details
5:28
about its upcoming electric vehicle the car could apparently have larger
5:32
than average wheels and generous passenger space patents apparently
5:36
describe it as an androgynous vehicle I
5:39
didn't know inanimate objects could be androgynous wow technology you crazy
5:45
