◼ ► but I've done a couple of searches recently for hotels like for to be able to see and things like that [TS]
◼ ► and I was looking at Facebook recently and they were putting in ads for the destinations I was searching for [TS]
◼ ► So now I'm extreme so the net effect from that is that if I do look at Facebook I look at it [TS]
◼ ► and I log the hell out because I feel like that makes a difference even though it probably doesn't it doesn't. [TS]
◼ ► Yeah I mean you know it's this is just like the boil the frog analogy it's like you know at some point we we all say oh [TS]
◼ ► and all these companies that make money based on how creepy they're going to be will always get more [TS]
◼ ► and keep their numbers growing every quarter it's a whole business built on how creepy Are you willing to be [TS]
◼ ► and if you take small steps. It's pretty easy to justify pretty much anything anyway new under some follow up. [TS]
◼ ► Actually let me since I've brought it up let me interrupt you by saying we should we have recorded this on Monday the [TS]
◼ ► nineteenth of May and we did that because our schedules over the next couple weeks are a little wild. [TS]
◼ ► when we release this it's something we say sounds really really stupid because of some news that has just recently come [TS]
◼ ► And clearly that's why we sounded stupid and it couldn't possibly be because I actually said something stupid right [TS]
◼ ► and that would be the only reason why we ever say anything stupid it's only because we record the show a couple days [TS]
◼ ► before we post it usually that's the only reason we ever get anything wrong. I'm not going to bring up finals. [TS]
◼ ► So I had so last week I kind of defended Apple's supposed acquisition of peace which we still don't know anything about [TS]
◼ ► and that their headphones while while they're not what audio files want in a headphone they are very appealing to a lot [TS]
◼ ► And well anyway so today I actually spent the most time that I've ever spent with beat headphones because I had to go [TS]
◼ ► No the the i Phone five sleep wake replacement program I want to get my replaced because I want to have a very long [TS]
◼ ► but everything you do in an Apple store these days takes like forty five minutes because there are certain things that [TS]
◼ ► you can't really make appointments for like picking up your phone from repair there are other things that you can make [TS]
◼ ► appointments for if you're willing to make an appointment seventeen days ahead of time and you get there [TS]
◼ ► and they do this weird thing where you go to the person first you go to the person at the front door who seems to be [TS]
◼ ► and there's a big line of people behind some guy with an i Pad and eventually you get to him [TS]
◼ ► and you tell me all right here stand here. As table and wait and will have you know Jerry come out and talk to you. [TS]
◼ ► So then then you stare and then you're like All right well you know five ten minutes in like kind. [TS]
◼ ► Can I move from this table like what will happen if I go look at the laptops over at that other table [TS]
◼ ► and look for someone walking over there it's it's a really weird experience that I don't like the feeling that Apple [TS]
◼ ► retail stores are not only having trouble keeping up with the customer volume that they get [TS]
◼ ► but not doing a very good job with the solution they've come up with so far with you know creating good experience of [TS]
◼ ► the people I no longer enjoy going to the Apple store it's getting closer and closer to going to the D.M.V. [TS]
◼ ► But it's really because you're an East Coast or in Word to I don't know organized and we like order too much. [TS]
◼ ► Lines we like the lines exactly I don't know. Apple Stores are to me like the epitome of California. [TS]
◼ ► and it just if they make it impossible it's like at the game you just have to try to get served. Good luck yet. [TS]
◼ ► Seriously though I will say that the the Apple Store app that lets you still buy things that is really nice [TS]
◼ ► and I went back to the headphone tables I mentioned last week I figured well you know it was only it was only two [TS]
◼ ► tables away from my designated. But we're supposed to stand but it was nothing. So I figured you know. [TS]
◼ ► and it turns out they did find me it wasn't a big deal so nice top tip for all you life hacks out there so I got a [TS]
◼ ► And the good thing is this time there was a song on on most of the i Pod They were the Foo Fighters walk which is a [TS]
◼ ► and the good thing about this song is that I actually knew it normally I go to the i Pod in the stores [TS]
◼ ► and they're all like you know crappy modern pop songs which makes it very hard for me to judge sound quality [TS]
◼ ► and the headphone cable had some kind of security attachment on it as well so I never I'm never willing to plug my own [TS]
◼ ► and use my own music so anyway so I was able to compare the song that I know very well I know how it supposed to sound [TS]
◼ ► on good headphones and and it's a pretty rockin song it has a lot of bass a lot of a lot of everything really. [TS]
◼ ► So it should give me a pretty good idea of of how things sound and I tried every headphone they had that worked. [TS]
◼ ► A lot of them like they weren't they were plugged in maybe or they had noise cancelling the batteries were dead [TS]
◼ ► It was shocking like in a true fighter song in order to turn I had to turn it down far enough that it wasn't blowing up [TS]
◼ ► my ears of bass but at the Vaal at like the highest bass volume I could tolerate for a sustained period. [TS]
◼ ► and the midrange is like tucked down under everything you could barely hear it and it was really strange [TS]
◼ ► and verify that you know they didn't just have a crappy version of the song it wasn't some weird E.Q. [TS]
◼ ► Setting on the i Pod settings area or whatever it was just that the Beats headphones really sounded bizarre [TS]
◼ ► and that's true I mean I guess this is a lot of the same opinion I have when I drink Starbucks coffee but [TS]
◼ ► and most of them you know they tried all the Bose ones that Bose has a new line called like accurate center something [TS]
◼ ► And there you know it all sorts of all sorts of like other you know luxury brands there's a Bang and Olufsen this B.M.W. [TS]
◼ ► Never make headphones and he would probably be terrible on it that would cause a conflict in my mind. [TS]
◼ ► Times ten where like they have all these things around that like you know this crazy expensive speaker dhat crazy [TS]
◼ ► and all these like weird bizarre boutique electronics that are ridiculously expensive and you know kind of cool [TS]
◼ ► and system which has always been this way you know the Apple Store has never been a place where you could go buy audio [TS]
◼ ► file great headphones or anything but that that is. That's how their entire headphone department is. [TS]
◼ ► It's these like two to four hundred dollar boutique fancy fashion he marketing heavy brands that are not very good. [TS]
◼ ► I hope I hope this is wrong but I am a little scared this might be a future direction that Apple takes or [TS]
◼ ► or makes a mistake a bigger push into with their retail efforts like becoming this like fancy upscale boutique thing [TS]
◼ ► and we all know because you know we're not we all know because we're informed in these matters that Apple computers [TS]
◼ ► really aren't that much more expensive than comparably priced other computers certainly have the kind of low end that [TS]
◼ ► and high end of computers federally just the high end these days. And so Apple Computers are not overpriced. [TS]
◼ ► You get your money's worth for them all the headphones they have in their store are not that way they don't have that [TS]
◼ ► and it is just overpriced you know kind of almost sham marketing she prints of it all the stuff that other fans accuse [TS]
◼ ► Like people who like the kind of headphone brand that Apple sells. Those accusations are a lot more accurate for that. [TS]
◼ ► And so I hope that Apple is not going to go further in that direction because it scares me because I think that would [TS]
◼ ► Because people with heart associated Apple with even more so with like overpriced stuff that's not actually worth its [TS]
◼ ► when you show them your macula you like well I like it because of you know such as operating system [TS]
◼ ► But you showed me the beat headphones they don't care about the sound quality like because they're cool. [TS]
◼ ► or stores it's a hundred dollar jeans trying to convince someone about a hundred dollar pair of jeans that your twenty [TS]
◼ ► five dollar pair of Levi's is just as good if you won't it's a different type of mine seven experience I think the [TS]
◼ ► advantage that beats has is that you don't you don't have to convince a regular person that the Beats headphones are [TS]
◼ ► worth that you do have to try to convince the regular person that your mac is worth more than three hundred dollars [TS]
◼ ► but they don't I don't know if that's necessarily true though I think that most people that don't have Macs would [TS]
◼ ► probably buy one and spend the hundreds and hundreds of dollars that they think extra you know that if a comparable P.C. [TS]
◼ ► But the thing is it's a thousand dollars they're spending to get this mac unlike spending just a couple hundred dollars [TS]
◼ ► but it's a much more approachable luxury price point in the same way that there are probably many people that would if [TS]
◼ ► and ninety's they were a hundred bucks in the eighty's that's easily the amount of the ten pounds that were Air Jordans [TS]
◼ ► Probably not without the Reebok pump like I wanted some of those so yeah you know you want them because they're cool. [TS]
◼ ► They got the charge a ridiculous premium form and they were similarly priced to be Ted on today just in for inflation. [TS]
◼ ► Wow I can't even imagine the level of do Shittu required to wear those in public. Wow Wow. But if it's just the B.M.W. [TS]
◼ ► Logo that adds that beats by themselves or just beats once you have the B.M.W. Logo two it's like that's too much. [TS]
◼ ► Well they have those Porsche Porsche Design did like a hard drive enclosure for Alessi at some point. [TS]
◼ ► but it wasn't a logos like they designed I think I think it had a Porsche logo on it was like a car type thing the [TS]
◼ ► Anyway those be ten phones just logo branding all the Davis stamp a B.M.W. Thing on there and probably triple. [TS]
◼ ► Well it's on sale right now for only one hundred fifty dollars. You couldn't pay me to wear those. [TS]
◼ ► and now I think I think that's just at the Apple Store is a terrible place to buy headphones I will say by far the most [TS]
◼ ► comfortable pair of headphones there it was night in day difference. Most company. Had phones by far was the B N O X X. [TS]
◼ ► Those like tan ones that the White Cups in the tan whether you're cups extremely lightweight very very comfortable that [TS]
◼ ► Unfortunately there are like three or four hundred dollars and they didn't sound that good but they those were great [TS]
◼ ► Seven yes I did all the new Bose the quite comforted in the new you know accurate whatever which is whole other areas [TS]
◼ ► I don't have a I don't have one solid answer for that because it depends on what you're doing. [TS]
◼ ► and then the challenges that a lot of times a luxury these luxury overpraise marketing brands will be better than the [TS]
◼ ► better sounding ones in some of those factors like comfort or convenience noise isolation or [TS]
◼ ► or at the clicker on the head like the i Phone click there were some of the big ones won't. [TS]
◼ ► So it's tough like I can just give like one song recommendation I would say in general there's like five [TS]
◼ ► or six solid models I disagree with the wire cutter on a number of them but but for the most part like five [TS]
◼ ► or six good solid models like like you know the a K.G. Makes a bunch of good ones. Sony makes some good ones. [TS]
◼ ► I love their stuff the D T seven seventy's would be a really good pick I think which he's wearing right now. [TS]
◼ ► There's there's a number of really good ones that are that are not that expensive and are very good [TS]
◼ ► but you know it depends on you know do you need to be portable it's reportable if you're going to be walking around do [TS]
◼ ► I haven't found anything better than the Sennheiser P X two hundred two I which is unfortunate because it's mediocre in [TS]
◼ ► But it destroys everything else and portability like everything that's not in here but it's a way it's way better. [TS]
◼ ► or your buds without a lot of discomfort like what I have by all means do that because they are way more practical you [TS]
◼ ► Anyway before I move on to anything else we should talk about our first sponsor It's a new sponsor this week. [TS]
◼ ► So this is the dash dot com Now he's a paying sponsor and his site is even better now than it was last year [TS]
◼ ► It's almost like a like a more deluxe more robust hosted version of panic status board as like a web app. [TS]
◼ ► And so it's really it's really quite good so go to the dash to accomplish it if you see what I mean. [TS]
◼ ► They have a bunch of different widgets pre-built for you can build your own which is they have they integrate with lots [TS]
◼ ► You can also set up you can set of variations of your name to get like vanity searches your product name your company [TS]
◼ ► To look at their look at on a chrome cast if you know if you airplane or senator chrome cast [TS]
◼ ► and the good thing is you can logon for free you can sign up with just an e-mail free counts you can get one private [TS]
◼ ► and then if you want private ones like fear internal company use that you want to keep private. [TS]
◼ ► and if you have a if you have a pro count for just ten bucks a month you can have unlimited private ones if you want [TS]
◼ ► but everybody gets unlimited public dashboard so check it out go to the dash dot com slash A.T.P. [TS]
◼ ► Great guy behind it and I've tried it it's pretty fun to play around with and you can make some pretty cool dashboards. [TS]
◼ ► For sponsoring our show him a dashboard on that pay to take a look go one for each one of us this looks really nice. [TS]
◼ ► and for John it's I believe the correct toaster that is the correct one. I was going to say for my eyes it looks right. [TS]
◼ ► You know this guy's such a fan thank you I need it is that a hypercritical Dakota my service status which looks really [TS]
◼ ► nice I was well you can try for free if you want to. We should move our download stats to this anyway. [TS]
◼ ► Yeah this is just an article today that reminded me of our past discussions of net neutrality by these guys is All [TS]
◼ ► Ben Thompson SR to carry guy or Esther tech or if you've given up on Saturday but I still extra to carry it. [TS]
◼ ► Other things we mentioned in the last show about how there are tech companies that are lobbying Washington for their [TS]
◼ ► and it's article basically says that we shouldn't all be as cynical as we are about making changes. [TS]
◼ ► Don't assume oh we're never going to win over never because if we do that it's a self filling prophecy [TS]
◼ ► and he said how he says despite his personal experience this is important for all of us in the tech community not to [TS]
◼ ► Well another is going to change why bother and then waiting for some terrible bill to come up over [TS]
◼ ► and some terrible thing to be proposed then everyone gets angry all the sudden on the Internet [TS]
◼ ► and I do this as well like you know this tries to rally people on Twitter and use hashtags and do whatever you can [TS]
◼ ► and write your congressperson and call them to try to stop whatever is like as a last minute write [TS]
◼ ► You know so I I mean I'm I'm actually even a little bit more cynical than this article in that I think that even if we [TS]
◼ ► all have the right attitude the bottom line is if we don't have the same number zero as before the decimal point [TS]
◼ ► but I thought it was a good article I think everyone should read it. I will put in the shots. [TS]
◼ ► Talk about last week and perhaps even a week or two before that is that Nintendo is not having a good time. Yeah. [TS]
◼ ► This keeps floating around the notes I don't know if there's that much to add I mean I think the reason I went there is [TS]
◼ ► and they made some projections about how many we you can sort of think you're going to sell this year [TS]
◼ ► and I don't think anything has changed other than knowing now that the things that Nintendo has tried to do [TS]
◼ ► and seems to be trying to do aren't working early start working yet I wrote something about this on have a kind of a [TS]
◼ ► The thing is change the content has the ability to get themselves out of the funk that they're in because the whole [TS]
◼ ► thing was based on a premise that if if there's no longer a market for devices that mostly play games then tend to a [TS]
◼ ► screwed but if there is a market for devices the mostly play games then they have a chance. [TS]
◼ ► And so there definitely is a market for the things that just play games because the Playstation for a song like crazy [TS]
◼ ► So I'm pretty well as well though they're kind of changing their strategy to try to keep up with the Playstation four [TS]
◼ ► but anyway the point is that it's not as if no one is buying things that mostly play games people are still buying them. [TS]
◼ ► And so the question is what do they do at this point that they just keep trying to release games so that we hope that [TS]
◼ ► some game catches on if you buy them like they're kind of in the classic death spiral where they don't sell a lot of [TS]
◼ ► consuls which means that third party developers aren't going to bother making a game games for it because that. [TS]
◼ ► If you sold two hundred percent of we you owners which are never going to do there would still be a small number. [TS]
◼ ► And because there's no third party games people have less and less reason to buy or where you are [TS]
◼ ► and just goes down down down. So I don't know what they can or should do Mary card it's coming out soon. [TS]
◼ ► You consul's Probably not I mean the same choice they have before either to make games that make people buy where you [TS]
◼ ► or figure out what your next thing is I think and then to know has enough money and stamina [TS]
◼ ► or a vision of that we were never we haven't passed through the period of time during which game mostly our game only [TS]
◼ ► So if you were Nintendo What would you do if I go back in time to a time machine and if you took over today [TS]
◼ ► and you had enough political power to to push through any change or initiative you wanted to. What would you do. [TS]
◼ ► I will start working on my next console which will be comparable in power to the competitive councils [TS]
◼ ► and I would do basically what Sony did this generation which is look at what you did in the past generation [TS]
◼ ► and hated you for what developers are pissed off at you about what their partners first offered you about get all those [TS]
◼ ► people in the room have them all tell you what what you did wrong and how how your actions have hurt them [TS]
◼ ► and then sort of like an intervention and then take that information and fix all those mistakes. [TS]
◼ ► and so for the Playstation four they brought all those people together to just tell us what you think we should do [TS]
◼ ► and that's one of the reasons a place has or is doing so much better and it was relatively inexpensive. [TS]
◼ ► They didn't commit a lot of money to a motion troll accessory. Dubious value like Microsoft did. [TS]
◼ ► and their reward is there the clear leader in this generation of candles so intent on needs a console that is on the [TS]
◼ ► same hardware level as whatever its competitors that's going to be that's the that's the price of entry where you can [TS]
◼ ► say OK then the very least we can convince you to give us you know the next iterations all its games like you know like [TS]
◼ ► make it make it a no brainer for people to pour to you like well we're making it a cross platform game. [TS]
◼ ► and whatever Nintendo's counselors and for two generations now they've been out of that conversation [TS]
◼ ► and they're getting farther apart a conversation whenever you're going to make a new game a game like well we're going [TS]
◼ ► and then maybe like a year later will think about making some terrible cutdown port to go in [TS]
◼ ► and those council last generation they didn't need third party support because of the the magic of the we mode in [TS]
◼ ► and their novelty with the Game Pad was not enough to get people on board in there and sort of a death spiral. [TS]
◼ ► and if they can't make competitive harbor this is an option for them as well they should get out of the high road is if [TS]
◼ ► or decide they're not going to be in the hardware business I guess they should partner with somebody like this is not [TS]
◼ ► but I think about this a lot like if this is not in in ten years we'll oust ever do hardware anymore you know go over [TS]
◼ ► and say we really like what you've done with your hardware how would you like it if we teamed up on the next console [TS]
◼ ► and made sort of a joint Sony Nintendo console we're going to there are some influence on the hardware [TS]
◼ ► and it was you know amazing great hardware that had lots of power as an expense of an innovative and maybe had a V.A.R. [TS]
◼ ► and Said over and over and then all the Nintendo franchise will be exclusively on that console. [TS]
◼ ► and they're not the working out of the wheel which is going to be all enjoy it as well and it will be interesting [TS]
◼ ► and that continues to go poorly and now they're legitimately starting to to you know circle the drain. [TS]
◼ ► Does Apple buy them now I have it be like terrible I would not want Apple to buy them because Apple doesn't dabble [TS]
◼ ► but what if they want to be you know if you can you know it's it's part of the part of your culture [TS]
◼ ► or it's not like I said Apple doesn't get games but you know it's like the what he called the terrible King [TS]
◼ ► and I know that Apple in Game two is Just Not That Into You like good apple just not that into games like that they [TS]
◼ ► like them on the platform the fun and everything but all the other gaming companies Microsoft Sony [TS]
◼ ► and tend to have people in positions of power who are really into games who love games who live [TS]
◼ ► and breathe games like that is the same thing with any movie studio yet is going to be a bunch of bureaucrats in suits [TS]
◼ ► And thus far I'm not convinced there is anyone high up in any position of power that that has that passion for games at [TS]
◼ ► Yeah I think it's pretty clear that not only does Apple not only is Apple not caring about games I don't think they [TS]
◼ ► respect games like that like I said this before long time ago but it's all just go to the quick version basically. [TS]
◼ ► Like if you look at Apple's history of how they treat games on their platforms both but on the mac [TS]
◼ ► and I alas you're on the mac to basically said we're never going to do anything they really make games easier [TS]
◼ ► and Apple found themselves in the position of all of a sudden being in or in a really pretty powerful [TS]
◼ ► and the way they've treated it since then has really just been kind of patronizing like Game Center is is one of the [TS]
◼ ► and just like the the mediocrity of the game center is together with the design that it had first instilled with that [TS]
◼ ► and stuff like every game that I have in the game center integration it makes it worse like [TS]
◼ ► when I play the better I'll get a notification letter press and someone's moved and then I will you know swipe [TS]
◼ ► and letterpress will be the from us app like I'm not so I the only notification I'm to swiping to reveal at a press of [TS]
◼ ► and then may do a lot of the moves like stuff like that it's like no progress indication long waiting times [TS]
◼ ► and it probably really helped him get out a game that was popular and so it's good for developers [TS]
◼ ► but as a player I hate it when the little games and a banner comes down and causes a hitching frame rate. [TS]
◼ ► I hate it when Game Center tells me there's a move but I launch the game it doesn't show the movie me [TS]
◼ ► and there's so many games with integration like this that I can say well just because a developer didn't integrate with [TS]
◼ ► Yeah it's always been it's been like this I get the feeling that Steve Jobs might have been like a Steve thing where [TS]
◼ ► and then like to pay lip service to things they didn't really care about that that that they were being forced to [TS]
◼ ► or you know for some reason like they would try to appropriate you know the success of gaming to do their job. [TS]
◼ ► And it just it I don't know if it resulted in this attitude that that was very clearly like obviously Steve doesn't [TS]
◼ ► I think they're trying it's just that like they don't know the right things that it would be as if the music [TS]
◼ ► Device as if it had a theme like a music room and there was like a little bit tons for conducting [TS]
◼ ► and there were as you know those little musical staff and a little guy with a tuxedo as the conductor. And then like. [TS]
◼ ► And they understand they understand it so much more like it's it's not just the theme it's the idea that there needs to [TS]
◼ ► be this kind of window dressing like the games are a diversion and like you know almost every happening [TS]
◼ ► Enter Sam like photos are important things we were not going to sort of put like a weird photo theme on there [TS]
◼ ► and I was on this help of that a lot like the old ones were a little bit more skeuomorphic and everything [TS]
◼ ► but it's just the whole idea that gaming as a realm needs to have some different treatment because games are this other [TS]
◼ ► thing and no one is really seriously Indian whereas music is like oh you're really into music [TS]
◼ ► We want to show the album our day we want to have a nice efficient application because music is. [TS]
◼ ► When you write to be powerful and have you know increase the capability to get your music anywhere enjoy [TS]
◼ ► and show people enjoying it and games it's like I mean there are there are casual gaming companies that [TS]
◼ ► but Game Center itself doesn't doesn't acknowledge how serious and one important part of people why that's not right. [TS]
◼ ► I think i Books kind of an acknowledge how important books are in people's lives because they're kind of like a little [TS]
◼ ► bit of that with the old version of I look any way a little bit of the you have to feel like you're in an old musty [TS]
◼ ► and you know it's Game Center it's very much about compartmentalization it's like let's let's take this world of games [TS]
◼ ► that's happening all around us accidentally and we're going to we're going to clean all this mess up [TS]
◼ ► and just kind of show in this drawer over here that all you game think you can stay in here we don't really want you to [TS]
◼ ► NEWSSTAND is exactly in the same position if not even worse because you know it's you know Apple's like OK well we have [TS]
◼ ► this you know we will benefit of magazine and newspaper people but make their apps here instead of making websites [TS]
◼ ► and you know we want to we want to like you know look good for our platforms we're going to make this little news stand [TS]
◼ ► there is exactly the same thing like this like this like cheesy kitschy like condescending skeuomorphic ism that [TS]
◼ ► and then in seven it really didn't get a lot better it just it actually in many ways NEWSSTAND is significantly worse [TS]
◼ ► and I and just you know that there's no more wouldn't shelves but it's now it's like even more invisible [TS]
◼ ► And it's like Apple just like takes the things that they don't want to really see that they don't want to to be [TS]
◼ ► Because they don't you know to them it's like this is the slick sloppy dirty juvenile or you know evil world of games [TS]
◼ ► It is a platform for certain kinds of games but it's not for the kinds of games the Nintendo does well [TS]
◼ ► and how games are games that are really deep really rich that after sickle controls that you know [TS]
◼ ► and the arguments me may be a separate thing entirely because that's the industry is to experimenting with the are now. [TS]
◼ ► and intend could possibly do something interesting in that direction we don't know how well that's going to work out. [TS]
◼ ► and the games that have traditionally been attendance on the market all platforms are still really popular Just look at [TS]
◼ ► and you can't play them on i OS devices so it's like why should Apple be interested in getting that serious about games [TS]
◼ ► Into the M Council maybe they will have something going on there but that hasn't happened so far. [TS]
◼ ► Well even like last year they added the the game controller framework Tyla seven which lets other. [TS]
◼ ► It's like they they could have just like gone the extra step made their own official controller attachment for their i [TS]
◼ ► and the answer I think is because they just don't care that much or they weren't that confident the idea [TS]
◼ ► or you know whatever the case may be they didn't want to bother with that they didn't want to like tarnish their [TS]
◼ ► product line with his Cheel game controller attachment they want. OK we'll we will make an A.P.I. [TS]
◼ ► That will of course you know if you want to make your own you can and of course you have to pay us to make your own. [TS]
◼ ► Anybody who has ever played video games ever in their life could have told them if the first party vendor doesn't have [TS]
◼ ► Even official hardware add ons like the connector like Usually those fail like that like you know there was like the [TS]
◼ ► like was touted as the third to excell Sega CD The Jaguar CD attachment the turbo graphics CD attachment all these like [TS]
◼ ► all these hardware add on things in the old console world that almost all failed. Well not all of them. [TS]
◼ ► The little most memos the memory pack for the nine hundred sixty four effort without all that came with Perfect Dark. [TS]
◼ ► and the same thing with a rumble back then bonnet bun bun over Starfox the like I mean even the connect the connector [TS]
◼ ► you know the original connect that had a pretty pretty good sell through for peripherals like people made gains the [TS]
◼ ► support of the Connect which is fairly unprecedented like you know that was remarkable and very unusual [TS]
◼ ► and stuff that you couldn't do without the connect they weren't bundled with the connect you have to buy to connect [TS]
◼ ► them by that a lot of people were like I think Apple would be overjoyed if I can crawl out of there. [TS]
◼ ► But anyway it would be Have you ever seen anyone using one of those controllers that had shown I was I was I've still [TS]
◼ ► never seen one in the wild and so that makes me think that they're not selling a lot of those devices [TS]
◼ ► or take advantage of them like none of those are really like I don't even know if it's financially feasible to make a [TS]
◼ ► high quality game and say oh by the way to play this game you need to have a controller accessory [TS]
◼ ► and then the other problem is the economics of the App Store are such that I mean there's lots of that could be a whole [TS]
◼ ► but in this particular area one of the problems is if you make a game that requires a gamepad. [TS]
◼ ► You've cut down your market size so substantially that you know I suppose one percent of of i Phone sold in the past [TS]
◼ ► year. You know one percent of those have also bought the pads. That's probably extremely optimistic. [TS]
◼ ► But let's say it was one percent well that means you're also cutting your audience down you know by ninety nine percent [TS]
◼ ► by making it requires it in a market where the only way to make any money at all is through massive volume. [TS]
◼ ► It reminds me of the other story that I learned to really know if you have heard about that Microsoft has unbundle at [TS]
◼ ► but it's kind of a man in the face of Sony's sales I guess they thought they had to do something I believe they're [TS]
◼ ► Bottom line is not a lot of games are coming out that require the connect that are compelling enough for someone to [TS]
◼ ► and it's kind of a shame because I think that the Connect was an interesting idea I think the second version of it is [TS]
◼ ► and you could do interesting things with it it's just that because they are selling so much fewer consuls than Sony is [TS]
◼ ► and it's really like I don't I don't know how I feel about it because in many respects like if they had just launched [TS]
◼ ► in every country instead of launching in Sony's away more countries now I think think Microsoft like thirteen [TS]
◼ ► If they roll out to be an equal geographically maybe the race would have been closer in terms of sales numbers [TS]
◼ ► and they could have stayed the course but instead because they're behind they they want to have a way to catch up. [TS]
◼ ► But once you open that door once you say that. Possible is any X. Box one out there without the connect. [TS]
◼ ► and tons of money behind that's going to be like a tractor that pulls you know that shows everyone how amazing the [TS]
◼ ► connectors because like Marco said Now all of a sudden you have to look at the ratio used to be. [TS]
◼ ► and I was like most ninety nine percent ninety eight percent ninety seven like depending on how that's Q. [TS]
◼ ► You know these games having such massive budgets to be competitive. If you can't be on Playstation and X. [TS]
◼ ► Well they can I damn sure are trying to be the exclusives like you know yeah of course you can pour the same please no [TS]
◼ ► If Microsoft doesn't have a V R headset and Sony does Sony gotta get people to make our games [TS]
◼ ► or ports the airports of games and those are not going to be able to be on the Microsoft counts on the Sony. [TS]
◼ ► Again if you sell the most hardware you're in the power positions like who cares if you can put your game on my cars [TS]
◼ ► are going to turn those consuls we had sold X. Number of million councils you're doing fine. [TS]
◼ ► and Microsoft tries to make that same argument for the connectivity like we look at how well connected himself [TS]
◼ ► and it's not just about addressable market it's about the fact that no one has found a way to make a game that will [TS]
◼ ► I hope what they've done can combine with the our stuff can combine with the Game Pad stuff. [TS]
◼ ► The Nintendo's done like they're the makings of a great next generation gaming experiences down the line with old [TS]
◼ ► So market what else is pretty neat these days. What's also amazing these days is an old sponsor that's back. [TS]
◼ ► and you know they look let's be realistic here not every domain name registrar is a pleasant experience to to use [TS]
◼ ► Some of the emails I use all the stuff it's fantastic hover gives you easy to use powerful tools to manage your domain [TS]
◼ ► They also have amazing customer support. You can call them on the phone or you can do a mind to that's fine. [TS]
◼ ► and if you call during business hours which is pretty generous a real human being will pick up the phone [TS]
◼ ► and they will be able to help you. There's They have a no hold no wait no transfer phone policy. [TS]
◼ ► So it's pretty amazing. Literally like you call them up and somebody picks the phone and they can actually help you. [TS]
◼ ► and the only other one I know I know of is taking it on because the same people running it. [TS]
◼ ► So however they take all the hassle and friction out of registering a domain and then owning it. [TS]
◼ ► We know we all know we've all had those tech support calls from people who are who are less into web geeky stuff like [TS]
◼ ► us who like somehow they got themselves stuck trying to figure D.N.A.'s and we had to have to try to help them out. [TS]
◼ ► These days it makes sense to get your own unique email address is personal and professional [TS]
◼ ► or whatever use your email address for you can get your own domain name have your email be something at that domain [TS]
◼ ► and all that can be taken care of at however really fantastic So there's so much more to say about hover [TS]
◼ ► but it's a great i'm a name registrar check them out. I use them a lot of people use them. It's fantastic. [TS]
◼ ► No if you use coupon code scrum or fall I'd like to spell that I don't even give people the R U M M E R F A L L scrum [TS]
◼ ► Thanks a lot to hover for sponsoring our show once again so we should probably talk about things that are probably [TS]
◼ ► You know there's going to be there's going to be Odwalla Marco's going to complain about the fact that Odwalla has [TS]
◼ ► All I care about is that there's mango tango. If there's maggots and go on happy that's all I care about. [TS]
◼ ► and it was an anonymous email that that one via the feedback form and the message is I was a wishlist. [TS]
◼ ► Yes And then there's a series of items maybe and a series of items this person did not specify who they are. [TS]
◼ ► Didn't specify any really anything at all other than to say that they need to be anonymous for now. [TS]
◼ ► It said anon for now. So it basically has no credibility. However I think it's an interesting list. Agreed and so what. [TS]
◼ ► and the ode to level I'm not sure why it's VO to I'm assuming it's auction level isn't a virtue unless unless it was a [TS]
◼ ► What do you think I mean I think there's been enough smoke around the health book thing that it's probably correct. [TS]
◼ ► and sleep can both be tracked by motion that's easy you know hydration hydration to a heart rate that would require [TS]
◼ ► or maybe not we know about it it's going to be the ear buds that I know I know I'm kidding as opposed to this e-mail [TS]
◼ ► The details of it we don't really know for sure but it's certainly plausible to talk about that [TS]
◼ ► and to think how one of their strategies to get them out of the funk was going to be health related apps which seems to [TS]
◼ ► be everyone seems to be doing this these days the fact that we have the knowledge of the networking [TS]
◼ ► and Fitbit has been sort of the spearhead into this into health monitoring for individuals it seems to be reasonably [TS]
◼ ► This is just an I with a wish list so we can talk about whether Apple's going to have a device like this where they're [TS]
◼ ► Accompanying hardware it's like Oh well our phone has this they need the eyes and so on and so forth [TS]
◼ ► and third parties will make sensors for it or they can integrate with the i Watch later or you know [TS]
◼ ► but I think it's a pretty sure bet that some health monitoring stuff is going to be in Iowa state software wise. [TS]
◼ ► and by the way real time follow up V O two is apparently a Robet capacity Thank you Katie Healy friend of the show of [TS]
◼ ► it's for volume right so thank thank you Katie Healy. Next transit in maps in the maps app in the Apple Maps app. [TS]
◼ ► but somebody talked about on the podcast I was into about how hard that is because to normalize all this disparate data [TS]
◼ ► I think that's something that they want to do whether they are ready in time like I think they're more cautious about [TS]
◼ ► Yeah on the on the maps effort Apple seems committed and they did not have a good initial showing [TS]
◼ ► and that's where they have to end up doing you've got to put bodies in the ground you've got to put resources towards [TS]
◼ ► this. It's a super big pain. You can't half ass it you got it. There's no there's no shortcut. [TS]
◼ ► So and the trans is like oh the shortcut will be just have third parties do is a third party opportunity [TS]
◼ ► and people like No we don't like that shortcut. Google has strengths. You don't you suck so. So I really hope. [TS]
◼ ► As for whether it's ready in time for it to see an ounce meant I'm not sure yet on device Siri that I would love to see [TS]
◼ ► that so I assume what that what this means is that the dictation would take place on the device which Android [TS]
◼ ► Ten something like a little shy of a gig Yes like a hundred megs so given that Apple is ridiculously obsessed with [TS]
◼ ► and sixteen gig devices really I mean that seems like that be a lot of space to take up on some devices that really [TS]
◼ ► and just like that it just like it is a mac because I like how many people actually would would care enough to use that. [TS]
◼ ► but for those people it would be really nice to have you can need to concentrate on getting their server side [TS]
◼ ► Because for from people like that the size of data that is transfer is not that big as the server is going to be [TS]
◼ ► responsive. They have to be available they have to respond quickly you can't you know talk. [TS]
◼ ► and get a response to say oh yeah forget it we can talk to the server sorry about that try again later. [TS]
◼ ► and so I don't think that experience of going to a server it would be all that terrible if it just worked reliably [TS]
◼ ► So hopefully that's where they're concentrating their effort I don't use Syrian have to know whether it's getting worse [TS]
◼ ► Any time that happens is bogus and I'm not ready for them to say well actually we have a second implication. [TS]
◼ ► All on device and you know I do worry about the network in just the way about memory usage and storage area [TS]
◼ ► and whether this on device thing works against another area where Google's had a Google has on device stuff working [TS]
◼ ► and their servers respond faster. So this list reads more like a list of areas where Apple needs to improve. [TS]
◼ ► They should improve in all those areas but by that I don't see them going for on device Siri. [TS]
◼ ► I would rather see them address the server side stuff because I don't think it's that crazy for phones anyway. [TS]
◼ ► That aside yes it's also so I don't worry about it it's you know we'll get the data through it's not a lot of data. [TS]
◼ ► We'll just make sure our servers are all available on fast. Yeah I mean it's really it would be nice. [TS]
◼ ► I mean I would prefer they dig us both really having having on device dictation like you know have the servers still do [TS]
◼ ► but then what do you mean by that like that's that's obviously an area where the server side of the structure could [TS]
◼ ► and with you know just updating the information that it has and and learning and stuff like that [TS]
◼ ► and that's that's very much like a big data problem then you begin to do it the actual dictation while dictation does [TS]
◼ ► benefit from the big data approach you can also do a pretty good job just having something local. [TS]
◼ ► Any more RAM for that as I think as you point out like that's hardware wise I mean the excuse is always been well more [TS]
◼ ► but she's like forget about the storage would have already complained about sixteen thirty two sixty four eternal [TS]
◼ ► You've already got around these devices you got like people it's just sun acceptable one gigabyte is not enough. [TS]
◼ ► I think that would open the door for on device we're talking about one device like I'll just figure out the. [TS]
◼ ► The text version of what you said and it's an attack stuck to a server which is even lower bandwidth [TS]
◼ ► and it can do the smart stuff figuring out what you mean by those words right next notification center revamp more [TS]
◼ ► They need to become less clever about it simplify it just give me a a just straight list of notifications would be [TS]
◼ ► better than what it is now without the confusing like all vs missed and then something's going to disappear forever. [TS]
◼ ► No you don't know how many times does a notification appear on your device and you do so whatever the wrong thing is [TS]
◼ ► and you say what did the notification say again like oh sorry sucker you're never to see that again. [TS]
◼ ► but try to explain to somebody like I saw a word appear on my screen but now it's gone where is it [TS]
◼ ► and it's a hard problem like I you know it's trying to be smart about it like I just think they can it can't be done [TS]
◼ ► well it's the kind of thing that it sounds cool on paper it'll make for an interesting keynote as you know as you see [TS]
◼ ► and with Cortana like you see the other platforms doing this in practice it's really hard to make that right all the [TS]
◼ ► and it's transparently against notification overload because if you did just do the dumb linear list like a very close [TS]
◼ ► and people would start ignoring it like they're trying to strike a balance between just show you what's important [TS]
◼ ► and don't ever present like this humongous list that you have to scroll through to look because sometimes you look at a [TS]
◼ ► Like if you look on the mac on Anakin of Haitian center it groups by application similar I.O.'s [TS]
◼ ► It's very annoying actually and you can kind of see like OK well that's that's one approach that's kind of weird. [TS]
◼ ► I think what would actually be best if unification center to just be one combined timeline of notification so that [TS]
◼ ► whatever order you receive them whatever order you saw them in on the lock screen whatever order they came in there's a [TS]
◼ ► list that shows those same ones in that same order and maybe has a blue dot next to them right ones [TS]
◼ ► Every every When you come up with like well it's good for this use case but it's bad for these three use cases [TS]
◼ ► and it's if you just give it one big list. I think that's probably the least crappy option. [TS]
◼ ► I think they need to have that thing you're describing accessible somehow I'm not sure I need to be the thing in [TS]
◼ ► or like streams that was a big trend back in the whatever ninety's maybe two to conceptualize. I once met a blogger. [TS]
◼ ► By time rather than by file name or application or project or anything like that so that anything you've seen [TS]
◼ ► or done on your computer you just scroll back through time was kind of like The Time Machine U.I. [TS]
◼ ► But you know it's just cross cutting across everything like web pages you've seen e-mail that you've read things that [TS]
◼ ► and what you're talking about is a sort of Lifestream view of your interaction with notifications [TS]
◼ ► and I think that should be accessible because if you can find some things I'll just go back to [TS]
◼ ► or whatever they'd come up with some buzzwords or hell they can call I stand there on it and hears everything [TS]
◼ ► This is when the message came in and then you read it and then you know you replied and you did this you know like [TS]
◼ ► but I don't know if that needs to be the thing in the person's face because with the trying to do is make it so you [TS]
◼ ► One of the things say let me just go to the life stream and look at it shouldn't they lived in with a terrible name [TS]
◼ ► and it's fine like text messages are one giant chronological list totally unsorted just you know just by time [TS]
◼ ► But still going to so many people who like they need to get a piece of information out of the text messages like it [TS]
◼ ► and that's like three divisive messages. Well yeah but the other category and they're right. [TS]
◼ ► and i Pad I will say that for my messages I think it's a little too quick to fall back to my other devices. [TS]
◼ ► But in the last couple of months maybe even more than that if I'm in the midst of a conversation on one of my devices [TS]
◼ ► the other devices oftentimes will receive that same new text message but generally speaking nothing does any beeping [TS]
◼ ► or anything like that unless the I miss let's assume I'm on my mac unless I haven't acknowledged that new text message [TS]
◼ ► or fifteen seconds now I think there should be a slightly longer grace period than that because sometimes I'm [TS]
◼ ► and if if the if the messages window is not my front most window at the moment that comes in. [TS]
◼ ► This thing reads even more like a wish list item of like here's a problem I encounter using Apple's cloud services on [TS]
◼ ► but I don't have any I don't have anything to say other than it should do what I mean all the time [TS]
◼ ► and I conceptually we talk about the spend messages first came out and I messages first came out. [TS]
◼ ► and what you're doing because if they can have a concept the concept of presence defined A.P.I. [TS]
◼ ► Wise so that so that each individual app isn't like doing its own crazy juristic like there was a framework for [TS]
◼ ► presence and an awareness of where you are and what device you're near and what you're using [TS]
◼ ► but it seems crappy like we're all talking about situations where because your messages window is hidden [TS]
◼ ► It didn't go off on your i was device then you may have. I have better luck getting messages in the web interface to G. [TS]
◼ ► I have missed fewer of those than I have missed I messages from my wife likes to send them from her phone [TS]
◼ ► and I'll get the first one out of the caisson center and a quick on and a lot of messages and I conversed with her [TS]
◼ ► and then I'll go do something else and another one will come in messages and I won't notice [TS]
◼ ► and if you like what injury spawn of that one I didn't see it on my device because it wasn't there his message is open [TS]
◼ ► but it didn't even like about the icon wanted something like It's not they have they don't have it yet so I think they [TS]
◼ ► Yes I would like this to make it so but it's not it's a benefit of more than a simple invasion. [TS]
◼ ► Our final sponsor this week is once again our friends nature box nature box delivers delicious nutritious snacks to [TS]

◼ ► To get fifty percent off your first box. Thanks once again to nature box for sponsoring our show. [TS]
◼ ► I've been very very good about milking mine so to speak. But but it is very good and very awful wall which is. [TS]
◼ ► Actually I should be honest my foot my sample was actually gone before we even recorded last week's show yeah it's [TS]
◼ ► Thanks for continuing this list that at this point absolutely confirms that it's a wish list [TS]
◼ ► Unlimited photo stream and unlimited just like unlimited bandwidth from eight hundred eighty. [TS]
◼ ► Maybe it's not maybe if I had like three hundred terabytes a song come to my house and talk to him personally [TS]
◼ ► but so far like I have multiple I have multiple terabytes there I mean maybe they're relying on the fact the you can't [TS]
◼ ► Is you know how long would it take you to upload like a petabyte of data it's like you know it would take a long time [TS]
◼ ► It's thirty seven gigs like it's like I'm paying the same for thirty seven gigs they're paying for want to have [TS]
◼ ► terabyte on my desktop for the stream they don't have that same van though because I think people just keep taking [TS]
◼ ► and they you know it's not like the data there's some turnover like you know you're going to I don't know with [TS]
◼ ► or I just feel like a grows nearly like maybe people aren't putting their photos and into Photoshop or whatever anyway. [TS]
◼ ► or not yes we all want photo stream to be better we had many bad shows about describing how frustrating it is that [TS]
◼ ► and saying Don't worry you know how many pictures you take we'll take care of keeping them safe for a fee for not a fee [TS]
◼ ► Great and no one company is ready to take care of your photos forever or even try to make that promise. [TS]
◼ ► The prompt has talked at length about this even more so than us I think which is saying a lot. [TS]
◼ ► I think this is one of those things like Apple has to be the one to offer the photo solution finally leads [TS]
◼ ► I actually am not that confident they will but I think I think that's what needs to happen long term. [TS]
◼ ► I really do and there are so many question marks about how they would do that and if they would do that [TS]
◼ ► or severely down sample it so it fits within like the one minute sending limit stuff like that. [TS]
◼ ► and its safety actually are I don't see any other solution that would actually be a good long term. [TS]
◼ ► and you know there are there are some shortcuts they can take that could substantially cut down on the cost in data [TS]
◼ ► Like if you if they store every picture quality forty of almost nobody will ever be able to tell I don't like that I [TS]
◼ ► when I wasn't really solving the problem I don't want crappy quality versions of the pictures [TS]
◼ ► and I can say that oh don't worry your all your devices went up in smoke in your house burned down [TS]
◼ ► Now there's a there's a lot of headroom in the Jeep for I like it for goodness sake herders there is a ton of headroom [TS]
◼ ► you can get the quality down really small like you know not you know you're not going to bring a full you know folks. [TS]
◼ ► or five megs only that somewhere around there you could easily bring it down to one meg or less and be very. [TS]
◼ ► And I don't like that I don't like the solution I think I think that I think they should take Ra's that is going to [TS]
◼ ► figure out the economics like this is something that I think people will be willing to pay for as long as it's [TS]
◼ ► reasonable and I think with five dollar unlimited backup it shows that you know it's with Bill [TS]
◼ ► and it's going to get more and more reasonable over time because voters are not getting bigger. [TS]
◼ ► I think so hopefully this will solve of actually a more realistic wishlist item for this would be what we also talked [TS]
◼ ► You know a lot of these allow it to match the size of the device for a reasonable price instead of being though you get [TS]
◼ ► and if you buy another device so you don't get any additional storage interest if you pay more it would be nicer if [TS]
◼ ► they sort of rewarded their good customers who buy the biggest devices to buy lots of devices by making each additional [TS]
◼ ► purchase help you towards I climb back up for them you know what we really need is if Apple [TS]
◼ ► but did a unified backup solution so you've got backups of your i Devices as big as they are used much as you want. [TS]
◼ ► You know Time Machine now can refer to either a local drive and or the Apple you know Mobile Me cloud [TS]
◼ ► or something like that. Photo stream goes on either forever more or considerably longer than it does right now. [TS]
◼ ► To just be able to in one place or pay one entity to make all of these backup problems go away. [TS]
◼ ► I don't see how that would really be feasible without Doesn't it already I don't download it. [TS]
◼ ► Well here's here's one problem when like my mom can't upgrade i OS seven yet isn't a free space [TS]
◼ ► and what I have to tell her to get that is well if you want to do that you have to like delete all your photos [TS]
◼ ► basically killing eight gig i Phone four is like no space on there then this is the one that you told her expressly not [TS]
◼ ► It would it would anger so many people to have their phones automatically update to like a major Oh S. [TS]
◼ ► Imagine if i OS seven was an automatic hit like not to the meltdown of the if it just automatically installed [TS]
◼ ► or your phone is charging one night I think that's coming just not in Iowa state the distant future. [TS]
◼ ► The infinite version. Jeff I would blog post Chrome is already auto updating you have no choice. [TS]
◼ ► or not that the other wrote a blog post about it called the internet version about the trend of software that was [TS]
◼ ► It would happen and you just deal with it you know I mean as it happened. Web Apps but people get pretty angry at that. [TS]
◼ ► So like any time Facebook ever changes anything like half the world explode I think they can make. [TS]
◼ ► and I say they don't think this is going to happen and I say it but you know I was fifteen I would bet on it. [TS]
◼ ► I think you'd be nice some of you know happen like because if you if you look at the App Store now and yeah I agree. [TS]
◼ ► I just wish it would happen because generally speaking I think if your browsing the App Store you probably have you [TS]
◼ ► What that would do to have store browsing would be pretty substantial and it wouldn't all be good [TS]
◼ ► when you know if you think about it if games had their own top charts assuming Apple's going to keep the top chart [TS]
◼ ► I think the the top apps ranking lists are very destructive to quality of software and economics and so many things. [TS]
◼ ► But Apple seems seems to be pretty committed to keeping them by their inaction so assuming they're going to keep the [TS]
◼ ► the topless in the store having games have their own complete topless like not just this one category with this little [TS]
◼ ► and then it has a completely different standard for like editorial you know what's new in the [TS]
◼ ► And then in the in the newly separated app store with no games in it it would be a lot easier to find apps because you [TS]
◼ ► Most people just visit the game store in the App Store would be pretty pretty abandoned by by most customers I think [TS]
◼ ► and that might not be a bad thing anyway because like you know how many of them are actually going to be after looking [TS]
◼ ► App like really like they're really having a lot of might but I don't know I would guess not. [TS]
◼ ► Like if you're if you're an app that has like a game type element but you're a very useful productivity app. [TS]
◼ ► What Apple does allow that how would they judge certain apps that are kind of like like kind of on the borderline [TS]
◼ ► between like is this an apparatus a game so I think overall it would it would have a few problems. [TS]
◼ ► but I just think the chance of them doing this are so low because it would be a massive change to the App Store [TS]
◼ ► or however long it's been it's that they don't really care to make massive change to the App Store Whether they can't [TS]
◼ ► but I just I don't I don't understand why the outward all outward indication is Apple just does not give a crap that [TS]
◼ ► all of their best of all of their best third party developers really are getting out of this enfranchise this rightward [TS]
◼ ► and friend of the show underscore David Smith had a really really good episode of developing perspective that if we [TS]
◼ ► remember will put the show notes that it wherein he talks about kind of how the prevailing feeling in the community is [TS]
◼ ► and I agree with him completely that there's a lot of grumbling going on a lot more than usual [TS]
◼ ► and I don't know not that it all comes down to the store but you know you put a little money in everyone's pockets [TS]
◼ ► I don't know how much separating the game store from the App Store is really going to help I know it'll help make [TS]
◼ ► I mean here's here's the problem the way I see it that if you look at the people who are actually complaining it's the [TS]
◼ ► It's you know it's people like underscore it's people who are in like the like Apple geek blogger community. [TS]
◼ ► But if you look at what's actually in the App Store all those people who are on those top lists they're probably go [TS]
◼ ► look we're fine this is great. Like our arc our community has always complain about the App Store from day one. [TS]
◼ ► They were you know we were complaining about some different things back then but it was mostly the same. [TS]
◼ ► Now there's just you know some of the some of the directions that the App Store was taking at the beginning like the [TS]
◼ ► like the race to the bottom in pricing like some of those have just played out further then than they were at the [TS]
◼ ► beginning but I think for the most part the same it's the same group complaining with the same complaints [TS]
◼ ► and I don't know how much Apple cares about that because you know what I was saying earlier about how how they kind of [TS]
◼ ► you know put Game Center stuff and NEWSSTAND stuff like they put these they like in a drawer [TS]
◼ ► I think that's how they see apps like the into I think that's how they see the entire third party development community [TS]
◼ ► but the same kind of feeling where it's like we're going to have this this major community here that we kind of just we [TS]
◼ ► but we're going to try to compartmentalize it as much as possible and kind of patronize it to the degree we have to [TS]
◼ ► and just kind of you know I don't know just just kind of like show of all these people together in this way that will [TS]
◼ ► and get them out of our face so we can keep doing our pristine stuff over on the side of the fence like that. [TS]
◼ ► and I don't really see a pressing need for to change because from if you look at it like from the from the super hype [TS]
◼ ► executives point of view you look at it like from Tim Cook or from Phil Schiller who I think the absolute. [TS]
◼ ► or if you look at it from their point of view they can every you know every quarter they can point to some number like [TS]
◼ ► We have all these apps in our store people keep buying them or people keep putting coins into candy whatever and [TS]
◼ ► and it's fine there's no problems if that metric based approach though is what annoys me the most because they get up [TS]
◼ ► there and they say they have these numbers to say here's how many billions of dollars we gave to developers. [TS]
◼ ► Here's how many apps we have in the store and let me show you this awesome app that that is great [TS]
◼ ► or they don't realize is the awesome at this great sells nothing all that money is from bilking a bunch of whales out [TS]
◼ ► and a number of apps in the store is high because millions of keyword spam clone piece of crap things [TS]
◼ ► and say that matters could that matter to you that Matter is good therefore the App Store is good because I think [TS]
◼ ► when they see these games like this happen it's beautiful happy use for medical imaging or that sells like ten copies. [TS]
◼ ► Known by everyone is that everyone is buying candy crush and getting their money sucked out of their pockets. [TS]
◼ ► Yeah they're all crap like we just it's what we're all complaining about is because we want we realize that those [TS]
◼ ► things are so different we want there to be a store with lots of good high quality apps made by developers who get a [TS]
◼ ► fair price for them and the customers who are satisfied by them and not have the apps that are that exist [TS]
◼ ► and I really wonder whether they are fooled by those numbers or whether they just bring those numbers out [TS]
◼ ► and say well this makes good for good P.R. but We know internally there's a bunch of problem. That's a good question. [TS]
◼ ► But if we know internally there's a bunch of problems. We've had a lot of time for those problems to get fixed. [TS]
◼ ► I mean some a lot of it like if you look at the App Store it's obviously built on the same infrastructure as the i [TS]
◼ ► Tunes store and the i Tunes store has the exact same issues where it doesn't really change very often it doesn't. [TS]
◼ ► when after was launched it's it has not changed much you know about the range of ninety nine dollars can put a song up [TS]
◼ ► there. The use of the same title to be on say song and trying to make money by device only buying it. [TS]
◼ ► but anyway you know it's it seems like anything that involves the i Tunes Store infrastructure for whatever reason [TS]
◼ ► whether it's a technical political whatever the reason is it's like it's frozen in time an Apple can never meaningfully [TS]
◼ ► but forever ago our friend told us a number of times that like the i Tunes store is not run by Apple it's run by some [TS]
◼ ► They're paralyzed by the success in terms of like the volume like what some of those numbers they tried out how many [TS]
◼ ► apps are there how many things are downloaded how many bytes how many songs and those numbers are so big [TS]
◼ ► but I think that as the biggest thing they have the biggest online thing that money comes in [TS]
◼ ► and data goes out is basic app store and i Tunes Store combined right. That's their biggest thing. [TS]
◼ ► If your plan is we're going to totally change that thing and your organization feels nervous about your you know [TS]
◼ ► and not so common about your ability to deploy a sort of web scale Google scale services you can be like my bonus [TS]
◼ ► depends on not being down on Christmas morning and letting people set up their new devices and be able to buy apps [TS]
◼ ► but my good friend you need to convince yourself that the safe move is it a stick with the infrastructure you having to [TS]
◼ ► Yeah the longer they go the bigger it gets like if they did they would have the same feelings back [TS]
◼ ► and the longer they wait the harder it is to you know replace it with something better that also happens to work at [TS]
◼ ► Well you know I think we're always inside of the fact that it's only a matter of time before Web Objects has a [TS]
◼ ► and I don't I don't even know if exposing the objects who knows that it doesn't they are they are really there. [TS]
◼ ► The boy on the back end like we can see the U.R.L.'s and the web page but that could've been legacy your girls [TS]
◼ ► and probably not none of my extremely limited understanding influenced in part by friends of Bertie's in Bertie's [TS]
◼ ► occasionally it is all mostly Web Objects as far as I know it's not always objects in the back [TS]
◼ ► I think it's pretty clear the problem is just cultural with an apple it's like the for whatever reason they just do not [TS]
◼ ► or two to make significant changes to the stores themselves or the way they work to benefit users [TS]
◼ ► and developers in a substantial way. They just they just don't care that that's the reality of it. [TS]
◼ ► Well I wonder if part of the reason they don't care is because from my understanding of the Google Play store that is [TS]
◼ ► so full of I don't know if I should call it spam but full of things that probably don't belong [TS]
◼ ► and you can define that however you'd like. It's such a it's an even worse Wild West out there. [TS]
◼ ► You know like Instagram's a great example which is quite old now but you know take Instagram. [TS]
◼ ► A bunch of whining nerds talking on a pod cast that maybe none of them listen to anyway you know I just I don't I don't [TS]
◼ ► see what the impetus is to really make it better from their point of view. Yeah that's a good point. [TS]
◼ ► I think we would all agree that they still have the best store as crappy as it may be probably the problems are worse [TS]
◼ ► elsewhere and so I Apple Apple responds the competitive pressure Android getting better you know. [TS]
◼ ► If you look at past past Major I O. S. Versions look at the features they've added a lot of them have been an I O. S. [TS]
◼ ► and that competitive pressure really has you know what Apple decided what's going to go on i OS five what's going to go [TS]
◼ ► and competitive things like strategic as like oh we got to do maps around because we had Google now [TS]
◼ ► People one of them is that it isn't like you know Apple can add lots of different features to their O.S.'s very often [TS]
◼ ► And so who is making the better curated more. Isn't less spam filter caps or nobody I guess. [TS]
◼ ► Right so back to this list which is longer with how long do we spend going through it the more I think it's not [TS]
◼ ► Instead of going to the next item is there anything in the remainder of the list that we think is interesting enough to [TS]
◼ ► talk about I think the one month other delete messages thing could be interesting as we you know we talked before as [TS]
◼ ► We talked before about you know the issue of people's text messages getting so big because what ends up happening is if [TS]
◼ ► somebody messages you a photo that photo sticks around your messages forever until you delete that entire conversation. [TS]
◼ ► and so having having some kind of auto delete I think is a solution I don't think it's the solution I think the [TS]
◼ ► and just you know have some kind of retention where you know maybe you don't delete it maybe don't plea for is after a [TS]
◼ ► and just keep everything like people are going to use it's all like you know people they are going to use to mail the [TS]
◼ ► file back up with an email myself things like I don't think anyone's going to exploit it by saying just just send me [TS]
◼ ► through my message all the photos could have all star there forever it's just text mostly yes there's pictures in there [TS]
◼ ► and just I just bite the bullet look the battery in these I was devices is going to run out in like three years this [TS]
◼ ► They're going to buy a new one because technology the advance thing they're going to give you more money to store our [TS]
◼ ► You clearly never exchanged text messages with me because they are way heavy on the images and way light on the text [TS]
◼ ► It really needs to be I think people are willing to pay some sort of thing of like Apple keep all my stuff wherever in [TS]
◼ ► the default could be delete after a year or two years or something reasonable like that but yeah like Barbara said. [TS]
◼ ► Deleting off a device is so primitive like there is only there was some other place we could protect like every Just [TS]
◼ ► when I get to the end of the scroll thing pull them down just like basic basic cloud stuff that we all take for granted [TS]
◼ ► us like Why of course Apple can't do that voters have to delete them off their devices when they get too old [TS]
◼ ► but that's the sad part. They can't like they were shown so many times they actually can't. [TS]
◼ ► They're one of the most they're certainly probably the most influential tech company in the world. [TS]
◼ ► They're one of the biggest one of the most successful I mean it's there they are on top of their game in so many ways [TS]
◼ ► and yet once it comes to touching something on a server somewhere they just it's again it's like they're living in the [TS]
◼ ► darkest days and certain certain parts there was great like the the push notification system is really good. [TS]
◼ ► but it's been rock solid for me the entire time like most of they have with these couple of things that are amazing. [TS]
◼ ► or you know relevant to this part of the session just extremely limited in ways that would seem that would seem like [TS]
◼ ► archaic and too limited on the Internet ten years ago or built on a framework that like doesn't acknowledge. [TS]
◼ ► and into some kind of like shimmer adapter to get it like it's not it's not sort of like a web native you know I mean [TS]
◼ ► when you get to the end it makes an Ajax request and pulls down some more data and sticks it in like. [TS]
◼ ► No no we wouldn't that's too primitive We have a framework of laws of course it works only client side [TS]
◼ ► and it will also make your garage cloud didn't work out all that great so far either so you know I'm not saying we have [TS]
◼ ► to be web first and go there you eyes and H.T.M.L. and Javascript but everything every A.P.I. [TS]
◼ ► They make every framework they make for dealing with data at this point should have some acknowledgement that it may be [TS]
◼ ► useful for some or all of this data not to be local and build that into how the framework works. [TS]
◼ ► Yeah you know what I just thought of is I've met a handful of Apple engineers maybe two hundred five and fifteen [TS]
◼ ► but I don't know do you guys know anyone that works an apple on the server side no. Are there that many of them. [TS]
◼ ► I've talked I've talked to some people who have done work on the you know the back end for i Cloud dot mac type stuff [TS]
◼ ► but I mean that we talk about the same problem so many times like that it's just if you're going to do this type they [TS]
◼ ► just look at the client side Apple does the client side so well look at the things they do there and how they do it [TS]
◼ ► and look at how they make new frameworks for solving problems and extend those for him or can support them [TS]
◼ ► Improving the language improving ID for in the compiler making new frameworks on and on and on. [TS]
◼ ► Versus Google which does exactly that equals on the server side they have tools for storing data for synchronizing data [TS]
◼ ► This is constant revision constant improvement every piece of infrastructure from the bottom up. [TS]
◼ ► and Apple does that on the client side it's just that Apple doesn't invest in infrastructure on the server side in a [TS]
◼ ► way that is visible to us on the outside it could be that they do all exactly the same things that Google does [TS]
◼ ► and like all these you know even Facebook with all its different projects in the H H B M and scribe [TS]
◼ ► and I don't see how they're ever going to be competitive with those companies unless they get some of their religion. [TS]
◼ ► It's that Apple completely lacks muscle in the entire category of web services like you see like Apple is like pulling [TS]
◼ ► Look at how awesome we are we're going to force you all to keep up with us in hardware and software design [TS]
◼ ► and then it comes to things like was Services and the rest of the industry is doing that to Apple [TS]
◼ ► and Apple is just like being dragged along kicking and screaming like fine I guess I'll do the bare minimum. [TS]
◼ ► They are they are only doing what's required not often not even that and just putting no similes to the front. [TS]
◼ ► and beyond their just like to them it's just a checkbox like fine I guess we have to do something with the web service [TS]
◼ ► eventually Here you go there's no hustle there we don't see like there's never anything where they launch it [TS]
◼ ► but even then they got they got you know laughed pretty quickly after that it was like they they just completely lack [TS]
◼ ► but you just don't see that at all for services whereas then Google and Facebook and Amazon [TS]
◼ ► but especially Google they're I think they're the best at this by far. Google just nailed that. [TS]
◼ ► They're so good at it they just have like infinite server side engineering resources to to just beat everyone up with [TS]
◼ ► and new expectations have by other people by customers because of how awesome their web services are [TS]
◼ ► Someone on Twitter asked why we don't use a shared pages document for charlatans that we use the Google thing [TS]
◼ ► Like I looked at it again just to make sure that I still didn't like it when he did that and I quote Oh [TS]
◼ ► and it looks like a big you know word processing window from the one hundred ninety seven and I said Nope. [TS]
◼ ► and you know I don't even notice that even support all the like you know somebody that it kind of multiple people [TS]
◼ ► editing a document the same time a different colored cursor is that we take for granted in Google Docs which is like [TS]
◼ ► but I don't know that that's like that's it that's an example of like those apps may be great [TS]
◼ ► but you know mind share wise I'm not doing a concert of them because I assume they're not great [TS]
◼ ► and I assume are not reliable and interface wise they're trying to imitate a desktop application [TS]
◼ ► and that that's not what I want out of a web application I want something I can open in a tab that we can all type [TS]
◼ ► and at the same time in Google provided you know be open fast and reliable and won't do weird things in a work [TS]
◼ ► and they'll just build the creepy I mean whatever I like like that that the reason we're not using Pages I think your [TS]
◼ ► and you said you wanted I said no it's not because I hate Apple it's because I know Google Docs works [TS]
◼ ► and it's reliable and like you know it's very difficult to gain that trust back even if you match [TS]
◼ ► Likewise a very news Google Hangouts because because they work because it's a way that people can communicate with each [TS]
◼ ► other and Google enters this thing and has steadily improved it and people have learned that's a thing that works. [TS]
◼ ► You know we'll see I don't I just at some point at some point Apple's got to take this seriously [TS]
◼ ► but they're going to show someone outside of Cupertino that progress is being made and it's not it's not Apple's M.O. [TS]
◼ ► To be self-deprecating or really admit things are wrong unless they're pretty sure thirty fixed [TS]
◼ ► but man some sort of not even STATE OF THE UNION but some sort of not that says hey guys this is pretty crummy. [TS]
◼ ► But here. What we're doing here's what's coming which is exactly the sort of thing one would expect to see W.D.C. [TS]
◼ ► So let me scoot forward so your fallback was in the maybe category on this wish list that is appeared on [TS]
◼ ► when I walk out of the office if I'm fiddling with my phone after my our offices on the third floor of the building as [TS]
◼ ► and eventually out of the building a lot of times my i Phone will try to cling to the office wife [TS]
◼ ► I don't get any response back because my phone is being too persistent clinging to why fire [TS]
◼ ► and there was a brief window of time like I said when when on a beta you could tell it you know just go [TS]
◼ ► and fall back to cellular if you not really get an answer quick enough in the multipath T.C.P. Is for I believe so. [TS]
◼ ► I don't know well and I think that and I'm waiting for John to correct me but I think T.C.P. [TS]
◼ ► but there's not supposed to be like two different you could you sailor wife I simultaneously for speed boost [TS]
◼ ► Dash hover and nature box and we will see you next week. Now we believe it was accidental accidental. [TS]
◼ ► As I said to that list and he actually wrote down a couple things to look back and see if any is worthwhile. [TS]
◼ ► I wasn't even on this person's wish list. He didn't care about it. You won't talk about that weird. [TS]
◼ ► Toba next week's show will do like real predictions talk about the whole you know this is a good overview of Iowa State. [TS]
◼ ► But we need to like you know say our announcements what software announcements you know just the whole nine yards Numac [TS]
◼ ► and they held their last chance before they say for next week so I think we should save Iowa side by side as I think it [TS]
◼ ► I think that's something that's you know well I don't know if it has any more credence than an anonymous e-mail that I. [TS]
◼ ► Yeah it's like that's the only reason he was even talking about it is it is Mark or Manhattan under five [TS]
◼ ► Yeah he is pretty reliable sources and he chooses like the things he chooses to report. His record is pretty good. [TS]
◼ ► So what I'm saying is he's good at his job so for him to report this as as what seems like a pretty. Sure thing. [TS]
◼ ► and is being considered for inclusion and I was you know I would imagine by now like you know a week [TS]
◼ ► That they've been more minor feature something this day I feel like they'd have to commit to such a talking anyway. [TS]
◼ ► I couldn't possibly tell us about this feature I think it's not I mean maybe there's a thought of something that I have [TS]
◼ ► and it's going to be amazing but I think the biggest problem with I.O.U.'s multitasking is not side by side apps. [TS]
◼ ► It's like where do you keep the documents where do you keep files do you keep files you would assume something will be [TS]
◼ ► part of this though like this I give it like I don't have a place to put a thing so this app can write it [TS]
◼ ► and they made something like Oh if you drag it from one thing to the other then we will make some temporary location [TS]
◼ ► for the thing in it like that like some plumbing to make that happen I don't know if that will be part of side by side [TS]
◼ ► apps but what I see side by side apps I mean do you think I would like to be able to drag things between them [TS]
◼ ► and if that's not part of it in version one I would hope that if they keep going down that road they'll work on that [TS]
◼ ► It's whatever the underlying system is they have for having the solid application to share data between each other. [TS]
◼ ► But even a really stupid one that's basically like copying placement with file temporary file backing. [TS]
◼ ► Even that could go a long way because that solves the problem of like where. Do I put this. [TS]
◼ ► So that when I leave this app and go into the lap you can see it and there's no putting if you drag it between there. [TS]
◼ ► Then it's just like oh well this is a single action and we have a framework that handles a single action [TS]
◼ ► I feel like there's some sort of interrupt communication fix that none of us can conceive ended [TS]
◼ ► and as per usual sin is Apple shows us we're going to say Oh of course that's the way it works [TS]
◼ ► But I can let me just I don't know what else what else is really really egregiously broken about I.O.'s other bugs [TS]
◼ ► and traded throughout the communication for a new file system any day for every one of them John Surtees all you know I [TS]
◼ ► when this is the problem with the with trying to record you know a crazy schedule of working around our travel needs [TS]
◼ ► Yeah we're going to we're going to miss the week before the very see when all the good leaks come out. [TS]
◼ ► Yes Well it is not that we had to make sure that we go through all the things harbour nonsense offer announcements [TS]
◼ ► and not get too bogged down in any one thing like you know the split screen Iris Have you guys met yourselves for our [TS]
◼ ► home or if we should all have that we should all have lists of things that we think are going to be announced [TS]
◼ ► and we just go through our list and then we can go back and talk about the individual thing. [TS]
◼ ► and everything will be thought oh yeah yeah because you know everything that prevented me from playing it the last [TS]
◼ ► As I look at the activity of the beta most people are hitting on most of the things that but I am trying to use it. [TS]
◼ ► I was speaking of a complaint was not your fault but I'm thrilled that you're trying to use it. [TS]
◼ ► and I go let me just set it up with my car Bluetooth because I'm going to be using his i Pod Touch as my podcast thing [TS]
◼ ► Yeah whenever my car is Bluetooth support but if I touch a Bluetooth but they don't talk to each other at all. [TS]
◼ ► Well when I turned on the Bluetooth parenting in my car and said Do you want to connect to my wife's i Phone five S. [TS]
◼ ► Which apparently has been in the car before in a car is detected and is already to pair with it or does it. [TS]
◼ ► Does the car support music streaming like as I think it's because it still is but doesn't support music streaming [TS]
◼ ► but only for like phone calls which actually led me to think about it would be a really cool feature if I could [TS]
◼ ► but just put the pod cast through it with from my hat so that you could play it in cars that didn't have that feature [TS]
◼ ► Anyway I have tons of complaints I'll tell you all in you know next time we see each other and want to thank you. [TS]
◼ ► But really the beta people are really getting a lot like you're getting a lot of good feedback for the bait [TS]
◼ ► and any time I have any complaint I just go look through the beta feedback I'm like yep that person said that I agree [TS]
◼ ► with that. I like I mean I can imagine me to them. If you want me to vote but mostly they're getting. [TS]
◼ ► Yeah actually it would help. Yeah voting helps. Just file a bug and I'll mark it as a duplicate. [TS]
◼ ► I should put I should put favorites we're doing on glass ports on top a little phase next to the ones that are like. [TS]
◼ ► Just want to description although I call Thank you I'm glad you agree with me on that you know everyone agrees everyone [TS]
◼ ► and then you're in your stupid menu toolbar icon still holding the line on the head. Yeah well there. [TS]
◼ ► I don't want to ruin what it is that of all complained about after you really something if you don't end up falling [TS]
◼ ► and the magazine is only one thing that you wrote you know like I'm damn And I'm going to hold the line on this. [TS]
◼ ► Well yeah I always put like some kind of I always try experiments in my apps and sometimes they bomb out [TS]
◼ ► and don't work most of the time they bomb and don't work but occasionally they work really well and that's like. [TS]
◼ ► And people end up loving my apps for those occasional ponder those things work like so many little features that people [TS]
◼ ► love Instapaper where those kind of experiments are just the way for the support email influx of people can't figure [TS]
◼ ► and I don't want to I don't want to disclose anything about the app so we'll talk more about that probably long after [TS]
◼ ► the be of idiocy when you start getting to the point where you want to release it or talk about or publicly. [TS]
◼ ► If I had to give a date today seeing what I have to do in the next few weeks like just just like life like going to [TS]
◼ ► and travel stuff in Iowa say they're in for get a just yeah I always say it like I'm thinking like I'll be lucky to get [TS]
◼ ► Maybe I'll see that you Plus you've got plenty of plain old bugs and like this is what happens [TS]
◼ ► when it goes from a one user up to. Like thirty years or out they find all the books. Oh yeah yeah. [TS]
◼ ► That's why it's amazing like how how many bugs have been found. It's really quite shocking. [TS]
◼ ► Like like in my typical you know typical me naive A D I in my initial email to the testers I wrote something on the [TS]
◼ ► lines of like I'm pretty sure this is pretty close to one point many looking for like you know focuses [TS]
◼ ► and the like feature was never like this I was I'm pretty sure this is this is pretty close to one point oh [TS]
◼ ► and it's nowhere close it's like too close to it because if you understand the app entirely [TS]
◼ ► and like you know I don't understand how even even to this day there's still future I don't want you to explain to me [TS]
◼ ► like but that I don't entirely understand I'm able to get the app to do what I want which is interesting [TS]
◼ ► but the conceptually there are things they don't understand at all and it's like I could ask Mark [TS]
◼ ► but other people are going to go this year that you know I mean SOB trying to like see it as the basis for aggressive [TS]
◼ ► starts to reveal itself to me but already I like it better than any other I.O.'s podcast app you know with the U.I. [TS]
◼ ► That I've used because I can configure it to let me manage my podcast the way answering manually doing it terribly [TS]
◼ ► but I may go back to my shuffle after I if I get sick of like plug in the stupid U.S.B. Thing into my car. [TS]
◼ ► and the problem is that like there's nothing I can do really reliably to sync with like desktop i Tunes like that's something [TS]
◼ ► like that's like a wall that like pod cast clients can attempt to let you have a mac client you can try to read the i [TS]
◼ ► On on the i Phone You can like I'm able to I haven't been able to feature in the betas Yep like one thing I want to do [TS]
◼ ► and the problem is you can read the library through public A.P.I. Is but only actual download or not. [TS]
◼ ► It's so if you have a pod cast that has that you've listened to everything and deleted all that will show up to me [TS]
◼ ► and all I have no way to tell that you that you're subscribed to a podcast that currently has no episodes download on [TS]
◼ ► So there is limitations that it's going to make it really really hard to ever support like i Tunes importing that you [TS]
◼ ► Yeah I wish I could just configure playlists and overcast and they would magically appear a map [TS]
◼ ► and show your obsession with truffles kind of comical because it's so it's so easy I can clip it on to my clothes. [TS]
◼ ► and like you know I just the parts that are painful about it are trying to get songs on it ever which is a super [TS]
◼ ► and you know they put the play pause button in the middle of the circle trying to figure which button you're hitting [TS]
◼ ► It's much easier than having to deal with you know I really need to go really just go ahead quicker headphones I keep [TS]
◼ ► saying that I'm saying it for years. You know one of Apple's headphones with a little quicker than it. [TS]
◼ ► That's actually that's one of my one of my big problems with the headphone market is for portable had Sounds like all [TS]
◼ ► the headphones sound really good are all like you know the full size ones that you use your desk [TS]
◼ ► or they might have at the giant quarter inch plug on the incidence of metal things plug almost none of the headphones [TS]
◼ ► It's not like you at your at your desk at your computer if you're out walking if you're on a plane [TS]
◼ ► or you can keep the i Pod or whatever in your pocket and just have a clicker there to do all your control [TS]
◼ ► and there are just very few headphones that are both good and have the clicker and have a good clicker I think. [TS]
