00:00:48 ◼   ► that one that a lot of the sites use but companies like Google and Apple too and [TS]

00:00:55 ◼   ► and all the big tech companies spend so much money on recruiting it's not even [TS]

00:02:11 ◼   ► Nexus 7 is the current seven instead as well this one is definitely not because [TS]

00:02:17 ◼   ► it doesn't I don't think it runs the well as a kit kat or something this is [TS]

00:02:24 ◼   ► definitely a few years old so maybe there's a new Nexus 7 but this is like [TS]

00:02:29 ◼   ► the first generation but call good stuff we can quibble about our talk about the [TS]

00:02:38 ◼   ► whole show about what the names of these devices are in the problems of the way [TS]

00:02:42 ◼   ► that some of the some of them are named you know right up there with them like [TS]

00:02:47 ◼   ► with the way that they've switched to call an iPad at one point they just [TS]

00:02:57 ◼   ► iPad for a while with Google Nexus they started naming them after their sizes [TS]

00:03:05 ◼   ► like the Nexus 5 as a five-inch [TS]

00:03:07 ◼   ► and the Nexus 7 has a seven-inch tablet which is kind of cool while their new [TS]

00:03:12 ◼   ► but then gets confusing you know if they come out with a new one it says right [TS]

00:03:19 ◼   ► here on my Google site says Google Nexus 7 so I presume there been more than one [TS]

00:03:24 ◼   ► tablet with the name Google Nexus like yeah I guess you have no idea but it's [TS]

00:04:30 ◼   ► ever had a bad report I don't think so but wherever that would mean we'll get [TS]

00:04:36 ◼   ► to that in a second where that comes from though I mean presumably i always [TS]

00:04:41 ◼   ► dream he's got somebody with an Apple PR who gives him that stuff but whoever it [TS]

00:04:48 ◼   ► is my guest to but I have no idea however it is isn't getting given the [TS]

00:04:51 ◼   ► name of the product I don't think they ever deliberately [TS]

00:04:54 ◼   ► name they put the date out there just the sort you know I want out there is [TS]

00:05:01 ◼   ► sort of let everybody know what's coming without actually committing to it right [TS]

00:05:06 ◼   ► they could back out at the last second patch calculate bad but Apple doesn't [TS]

00:05:10 ◼   ► really give the name I guess it seems weird now but remember like even the day [TS]

00:05:17 ◼   ► of the iPad launch no one really knew it was going to be calling people were [TS]

00:05:21 ◼   ► doubting that it would be called the iPad no yeah I remember that I think [TS]

00:05:26 ◼   ► that was one of the names that had been thrown out because of like a domain [TS]

00:05:30 ◼   ► registration or something like that I think some people came up with it [TS]

00:05:33 ◼   ► naturally just because of iPod and iPad seems like a natural thing for pad size [TS]

00:05:41 ◼   ► device and everybody immediately dismissed it as sounding like tampon or [TS]

00:05:46 ◼   ► something like a family what was your name it was the the Slater something [TS]

00:06:37 ◼   ► the iPod didn't get internet access until the iPod Touch [TS]

00:06:43 ◼   ► had nothing to do with the internet exactly but then my phone if it's [TS]

00:06:48 ◼   ► perfectly because that was like the first phone that actually did the [TS]

00:06:52 ◼   ► internet better than it did the phone yeah I think I think what happened no I [TS]

00:06:57 ◼   ► think it's never explained never talked about but like the undercurrent is that [TS]

00:07:02 ◼   ► lower case I capital product name just means Apple product that said yes it [TS]

00:07:11 ◼   ► doesn't really have any other connotation just means Apple product [TS]

00:07:15 ◼   ► right like ever and ever and caused itouch still yeah maybe that's why I'm [TS]

00:07:23 ◼   ► that's what I just said the iPad maybe I found an old post but I am I gonna read [TS]

00:07:45 ◼   ► I can tell thats lol yeah most certainly not the name I had a dream I had [TS]

00:07:52 ◼   ► predicted it would be the iPod Touch H D which was you know not ultimately not [TS]

00:07:58 ◼   ► that's kind of what it is but that's ultimately now obviously what they [TS]

00:08:02 ◼   ► called it I don't know I don't know you're alright whatever doesn't matter [TS]

00:08:09 ◼   ► but speaking of those event dates something weird happened this past week [TS]

00:08:16 ◼   ► where you like made up you made a typical John Gruber offhand comment you [TS]

00:08:23 ◼   ► know seemingly knowing comment about some sort of risk device coming next [TS]

00:08:56 ◼   ► side is cut off but for some inexplicable reason even though they cut [TS]

00:09:01 ◼   ► off that part of the circular display they decide to show the charge as as a [TS]

00:09:07 ◼   ► circular meter around the perimeter which which means it's between like [TS]

00:09:12 ◼   ► seven when you're in between 70 and 90 percent you have no idea whether you're [TS]

00:09:18 ◼   ► in its seventh year now and they're shipping it they're going to ship that [TS]

00:09:23 ◼   ► pride so I was cracking a joke about that and I said I should actually quoted [TS]

00:09:27 ◼   ► as I guess it's the exact language I chose which is unfortunate I rode the [TS]

00:09:34 ◼   ► only way this could get funnier would be if it doesn't even ship until after [TS]

00:09:38 ◼   ► Apple announces their risk of wearable thing next month and then I miss this is [TS]

00:10:26 ◼   ► them to like September 21st and they haven't announced it yet and i think is [TS]

00:10:31 ◼   ► gonna look really really bad as soon as apple unveils whatever it is that [TS]

00:10:36 ◼   ► they're working on and I think it's almost certain at this point that Apple [TS]

00:10:39 ◼   ► is working on something and it's almost certainly is going to be announced this [TS]

00:10:43 ◼   ► year and if it is announced this year it almost certainly been either in [TS]

00:10:48 ◼   ► September or October I don't know right and then adding to this was that I don't [TS]

00:11:38 ◼   ► terrible guilty habit I should really should be guilty about it but I'm not of [TS]

00:11:43 ◼   ► what I do have information coyly putting it out there without a source as as [TS]

00:11:48 ◼   ► though it's my own speculation comment this is from June 6 the ads from job [TS]

00:11:59 ◼   ► your candy and if you read it he didn't say Apple is going to announce it in [TS]

00:12:04 ◼   ► October his June 16 said a police shooting for October release it you know [TS]

00:12:10 ◼   ► meaning you know who you know well as June I mean they saw a lot of work to do [TS]

00:12:15 ◼   ► whatever it is that they get that they're working on June means they still [TS]

00:12:18 ◼   ► have a lot of work left to do I write anything and like in the last several [TS]

00:12:23 ◼   ► years they've had basically the September event and the October event [TS]

00:12:27 ◼   ► and you know if it's not ready for september you can do in October but if [TS]

00:12:33 ◼   ► it is ready and if it's you know the kind of thing that is being pitched as [TS]

00:12:37 ◼   ► an iPhone accessory basically and why not show it off in September but well [TS]

00:12:42 ◼   ► anyway read this if you read the sentence that I wrote I wrote the only [TS]

00:12:45 ◼   ► way this could get fun it would be if it doesn't even ship until after Apple [TS]

00:12:51 ◼   ► announces their wrists wearable thing next month and I when I wrote that I [TS]

00:12:54 ◼   ► even thought I should probably put something if they announced in September [TS]

00:12:58 ◼   ► instead of October or something like something like that yeah but it's [TS]

00:13:05 ◼   ► anything like that takes the piss and vinegar out of the joke and I didn't [TS]

00:13:09 ◼   ► write when Apple announces their risk horrible thing next month cuz if that [TS]

00:13:14 ◼   ► was the clause I was thinking about writing I would have used if instead of [TS]

00:13:17 ◼   ► one [TS]

00:13:18 ◼   ► yes Apple announces the responsible thing [TS]

00:13:21 ◼   ► so and the whole thing is also further complicated that I was doing it from my [TS]

00:13:24 ◼   ► phone which makes me lazy it does it makes me lazier to rewrite a sentence [TS]

00:13:29 ◼   ► whereas if I was at my desk I might you know I did notice that I noticed that [TS]

00:13:34 ◼   ► someone could read that as me saying that they're definitely going to do in [TS]

00:13:37 ◼   ► September that everybody knows that making a joke about the Moto 360 it's [TS]

00:13:43 ◼   ► like a two and a half hour flight from Orlando back to Philly and it happened [TS]

00:13:48 ◼   ► to be a plane with no wifi so I had no idea no wifi there was a hashtag johnny [TS]

00:13:55 ◼   ► was his Gruber legendary landed and I get off and it is gone like bananas it [TS]

00:14:01 ◼   ► was like top of technique John Gruber confirms is gonna be released in [TS]

00:14:07 ◼   ► September as i no i didnt for Friday's mandate and then you know it's like 10 [TS]

00:14:14 ◼   ► o'clock on a Friday and I guess I should update and because I didn't say that I [TS]

00:14:21 ◼   ► don't let the other people look foolish for reading too much into it [TS]

00:14:25 ◼   ► yeah and there's too much it was like too much to update because I do think [TS]

00:14:30 ◼   ► certain amount not so I'm certain that they're planning to announce it either [TS]

00:14:35 ◼   ► in September or October I don't know that they will anything can happen at [TS]

00:14:39 ◼   ► the last minute but I think that they'll have two events just be mainly in this [TS]

00:14:45 ◼   ► is one thing I often forget is even people who like read my stuff you know [TS]

00:14:51 ◼   ► listen to the show important in there so many people who read down fireball and [TS]

00:14:58 ◼   ► followed tech period but who don't seem to pick up on the varied to me very [TS]

00:15:03 ◼   ► obvious patterns of Apple as a company that you know I say this a lot I repeat [TS]

00:15:08 ◼   ► myself in this but they're a company of annual patterns and they do break them [TS]

00:15:12 ◼   ► sometimes you know the iPhone used to be a thing the first few years that came [TS]

00:15:16 ◼   ► out in June or early July very early July and then it switched to becoming [TS]

00:15:22 ◼   ► like late September thing [TS]

00:15:24 ◼   ► announced in early September least two weeks later and once they switch that [TS]

00:15:29 ◼   ► that they stuck to the [TS]

00:15:30 ◼   ► and they've stuck to it ever since and last few years they've had September [TS]

00:15:34 ◼   ► event with the iPhone and an October event with the iPad and I just assume [TS]

00:15:41 ◼   ► that they're probably stick to that this year and therefore they've got to event [TS]

00:15:46 ◼   ► one of the end if they're gonna do the wearable thing they'll have to pick one [TS]

00:15:49 ◼   ► of those two events 22 you know included on so I you know I don't have anybody [TS]

00:15:55 ◼   ► who's told me that I don't know nobody told me I'm just I do think it's very in [TS]

00:16:00 ◼   ► some ways it makes sense as the other thing too is it's not just that they [TS]

00:16:03 ◼   ► have to pick one of the two events and find time for it but their event [TS]

00:16:07 ◼   ► typically have like a narrative that runs through them and if they're [TS]

00:16:10 ◼   ► announcing more than one thing they figure out some kind of way to tie it [TS]

00:16:14 ◼   ► together in the show as part of like one story and I kind of feel right like a [TS]

00:16:20 ◼   ► wearable risk thing sounds to me like something I would be easier to tie in [TS]

00:16:25 ◼   ► with new iPhones then with the iPad yes especially if it requires an iPhone to [TS]

00:16:31 ◼   ► be used right well we can talk about that later [TS]

00:16:35 ◼   ► that's a question but I do think though that even if you are Lisa goes best with [TS]

00:16:39 ◼   ► him and others if it's an accessory if it's a $200 iPhone accessory you know [TS]

00:16:46 ◼   ► show it off with the iPhone right and the new iPad's last year came with the [TS]

00:16:51 ◼   ► m7 co-processor to but it certainly makes a lot more sense that if the [TS]

00:16:56 ◼   ► storyline is about health and fitness tracking right health kids sort of you [TS]

00:17:02 ◼   ► know going out health care expanding from a little ninety second spot during [TS]

00:17:05 ◼   ► WWDC to here's why we're doing this you know ninety minute presentation on on [TS]

00:17:11 ◼   ► health and fitness tracking with a bunch of partners etc [TS]

00:17:15 ◼   ► it seems to me like that would fit more naturally with the iPhone and new [TS]

00:17:19 ◼   ► iPhones that also have or I guess maybe having m8 fitness you know activity [TS]

00:17:25 ◼   ► tracker then with the iPad which you know I feel like they concluded the m7 [TS]

00:17:30 ◼   ► on the iPad because why not very expensive component but I don't think [TS]

00:17:35 ◼   ► tracking your feet based on your iPad is going to give you you know your [TS]

00:17:39 ◼   ► footsteps is gonna give you a very accurate count [TS]

00:17:41 ◼   ► right yeah I mean if it and if it needs any sort of Bluetooth connection to a [TS]

00:17:46 ◼   ► device to sink to that you know your cloud kit right cloud whatever your [TS]

00:17:52 ◼   ► iCloud account is that's most likely going to be an iPhone and an iPad yeah [TS]

00:17:57 ◼   ► it probably could technically be an iPad but my guess is that the majority of [TS]

00:18:02 ◼   ► people will sync with a knife and further complicating this is Yosemite in [TS]

00:18:07 ◼   ► a complicated and I was clarifying it is Yosemite which last year the Mac OS 10 [TS]

00:18:14 ◼   ► update shipped in October not September and I think they ever for right or maybe [TS]

00:18:20 ◼   ► not I don't know why should I make a note last year did and I know this year [TS]

00:18:25 ◼   ► it seems to be tracking behind iOS and mark Gurman 9 to 5 Mac said it was an [TS]

00:18:31 ◼   ► octave was gonna come in October with its makes a lot of sense and it just [TS]

00:18:38 ◼   ► doesn't make sense to assuming you know it also even if it were ready just [TS]

00:18:43 ◼   ► doesn't make sense as part of the iPhone event whereas it makes more sense as the [TS]

00:18:48 ◼   ► iPad event because iPads and Macs are a little bit more similar overlapping and [TS]

00:18:54 ◼   ► so if they're going to do and that's what they've done the past few years is [TS]

00:18:57 ◼   ► sort of repeat the Yosemite things from WABC you know these 10 features we think [TS]

00:19:05 ◼   ► you really want to know about you know some of us who pay close attention and [TS]

00:19:09 ◼   ► remember the WWDC keynote clearly a little bit of a repeat but for people [TS]

00:19:14 ◼   ► who have been paying close attention which is you know part of the whole [TS]

00:19:17 ◼   ► message you know whole point of marketing is to repeat your message to [TS]

00:19:21 ◼   ► get it through that's what they do but I presume that take up a big chunk of the [TS]

00:19:26 ◼   ► October event especially if there's a 12 inch paper thin MacBook Air retina ready [TS]

00:19:33 ◼   ► to go [TS]

00:19:34 ◼   ► yeah but i dont their runs at a chip now is the right time [TS]

00:19:37 ◼   ► which I don't think so I found a post on Business Insider that says quote canvas [TS]

00:19:45 ◼   ► a perfect name for Apple tablet says Apple God John Gruber who may have [TS]

00:19:50 ◼   ► written that paper that was me there anyway a campus that was the hindsight [TS]

00:20:00 ◼   ► that sense stupid that's why they don't have been named but but i pad sounded [TS]

00:20:06 ◼   ► stupid to her and maybe called it [TS]

00:20:09 ◼   ► campus I don't know I guess the one thing the one thing about iPad in [TS]

00:20:14 ◼   ► hindsight is somehow makes it feel like [TS]

00:20:18 ◼   ► sibling to iPhone in a way that if they called it the one thing i phone any [TS]

00:20:24 ◼   ► other thing canvas that they wouldn't seem like there is aligned yeah [TS]

01:51:39 ◼   ► I'm I am I just spouting off or am I is it just that complex and it takes a lot [TS]

01:51:44 ◼   ► of words to describe it and I think in this case is articles long because it is [TS]

01:51:52 ◼   ► readers are authors they're looking after their own interests and Amazon is [TS]

01:51:56 ◼   ► really you know doing anything for the benefit of anybody else than Amazon and [TS]

01:52:05 ◼   ► victory for anybody but passion or Amazon and it's probably gonna be Amazon [TS]

01:52:08 ◼   ► anyway because has it really doesn't have Amazon to one up you know in a [TS]

01:52:13 ◼   ► position of strength and the big thing is that the downside you know the reason [TS]

01:52:18 ◼   ► it may not be good for us as readers or even haces authors you and I tram is on [TS]

01:52:24 ◼   ► to win is it because of lower prices are bad because Amazon has a good are you [TS]

01:52:29 ◼   ► know a couple of good arguments in her just common sense one is that an ebook [TS]

01:52:33 ◼   ► should be cheaper than a paper version because it does cheaper descend bit than [TS]

01:52:38 ◼   ► it is to cut down trees turning in the paper and print a book and even amazon [TS]

01:52:44 ◼   ► has made this argument that because you have fewer rights with a digital version [TS]

01:52:48 ◼   ► any book because it's locked by Drs [TS]

01:52:50 ◼   ► and you can't resell it can give it to somebody else I can't get you know you [TS]

01:52:54 ◼   ► can take it if you buy a paper book I can read it and then sell it to somebody [TS]

01:52:58 ◼   ► else you can't do it with any book and i dont was interesting the Amazon which is [TS]

01:53:02 ◼   ► you know the company putting the DRM on the books is even making the argument [TS]

01:53:06 ◼   ► that hey this makes them less valuable and therefore they should costless I [TS]

01:53:12 ◼   ► think that the common-sense argument and it makes sense [TS]

01:53:14 ◼   ► same way that a paperback should cost less than a hardcover edition because [TS]

01:53:17 ◼   ► it's not as nice and it didn't cost as much to make and they also make the [TS]

01:53:23 ◼   ► argument Amazon that it's you know in in terms of authors and royalty that [TS]

01:53:28 ◼   ► they've shown through their own analysis of data that in general like book that [TS]

01:53:35 ◼   ► is he bought that selling for $15 $14.99 of course but cost fifteen will sell X [TS]

01:53:42 ◼   ► number of copies that same book at $10 $9.99 with cell like 1.7 times as much [TS]

01:53:50 ◼   ► and therefore make more money and get 70% more readers so you'd have more [TS]

01:53:56 ◼   ► readers and you'd make more money because you'd it would be more than the [TS]

01:53:59 ◼   ► 1.5 that you would need to break even but that the big downside to the whole [TS]

01:54:05 ◼   ► thing if if Amazon winds and they probably will is that they're building [TS]

01:54:10 ◼   ► an effective monopoly on on your books and that they will be rape reviews and [TS]

01:54:15 ◼   ► you know everybody will be at Amazon's liberty in terms of you know once they [TS]

01:54:22 ◼   ► walk down the market and I guess another missing part of the equation is what [TS]

01:54:26 ◼   ► percentage of revenue and profits are still coming from $30 hardcover books [TS]

01:54:34 ◼   ► that you know you need to still somewhat justify the price for ya [TS]

01:54:39 ◼   ► without $10 ebooks yeah one thing I've seen an absence of people could be that [TS]

01:54:44 ◼   ► the analogy to the there's a lot of people are the people on the side that [TS]

01:54:48 ◼   ► it did they should definitely be cheaper and maybe even a lot cheaper ebooks a [TS]

01:54:53 ◼   ► lot of my drawing on the analogy that paperbacks are relatively new to the [TS]

01:54:57 ◼   ► book industry and I guess they they came to be popular [TS]

01:55:00 ◼   ► in the nineteen thirties it's not quite the same analogy that its third tier [TS]

01:55:09 ◼   ► like that used to just be hardcover editions and then it was hardcover and [TS]

01:55:13 ◼   ► paperback and hardcover paperback and e-books the difference that I see though [TS]

01:55:18 ◼   ► is one of two frames you know like opening weekend I Windows Windows yeah [TS]

01:55:26 ◼   ► but that you know the way that to my knowledge that you know the major book [TS]

01:55:33 ◼   ► publishers have worked is that new books only command hardcover like when Stephen [TS]

01:55:37 ◼   ► King comes out with a new book it doesn't come out in hardcover and [TS]

01:55:39 ◼   ► paperback at the same time and you can choose to save you know half the price [TS]

01:55:43 ◼   ► by buying the paperback if you want it when its new when the new Harry Potter [TS]

01:55:47 ◼   ► books came out and people lined up at midnight to buy them you had to buy the [TS]

01:55:51 ◼   ► hardcover which is the more expensive version and that the paperback came out [TS]

01:55:55 ◼   ► was like home you know the same way that you can't buy most movies at the opening [TS]

01:55:59 ◼   ► weekend have to wait to get him and he barks don't seem to be like that people [TS]

01:56:06 ◼   ► want to get I give Stephen King has a new book you and you want to read about [TS]

01:56:09 ◼   ► your Kindle you get on the same day that the hardcover comes out yeah there was a [TS]

01:56:14 ◼   ► period where they were trying to not have that available but I think that [TS]

01:56:18 ◼   ► that that's done and I kinda see how you you know that the publishers I kind of [TS]

01:56:25 ◼   ► see if in the published aspect of that they should have a right to charge a [TS]

01:56:28 ◼   ► premium while demand is at a premium [TS]

01:56:30 ◼   ► you know that when the day you know and again you could say whether just [TS]

01:56:33 ◼   ► couching their the diehard fans but you know that's what pays to keep the books [TS]

01:56:38 ◼   ► coming out I think if you really want to read it in opening weekend you want to [TS]

01:56:41 ◼   ► read that knew you know Stephen King novel as soon as it comes out they [TS]

01:56:46 ◼   ► should be allowed to charge $17 for and then drop the price to 999 in the long [TS]

01:56:52 ◼   ► run you know three months later six months later like same thing like with [TS]

01:56:55 ◼   ► movies coming out on home video [TS]

01:56:58 ◼   ► yeah and so many markets work like that you know and that demand is not [TS]

01:57:02 ◼   ► necessarily gouging like it's being among the first to get something is too [TS]

01:57:09 ◼   ► many people worth more money because you know if you know if your [TS]

01:57:13 ◼   ► not that hell-bent on reading it right away or you already have a big stack of [TS]

01:57:17 ◼   ► books that are waiting you read it you can't wait and you know you're gonna pay [TS]

01:57:21 ◼   ► lower price same way that you know it kinda works like that on iTunes I don't [TS]

01:57:26 ◼   ► know if it's on purpose but so many new releases are only available for purchase [TS]

01:57:30 ◼   ► and then you can rent them for you know whatever another month or something he [TS]

01:57:35 ◼   ► always available for rent on you know I've found myself buying movies that I [TS]

01:57:42 ◼   ► don't actually want to own because out on a wait a month before therefore box [TS]

01:58:03 ◼   ► watched it once but I'll pay the $14.99 to buy it [TS]

01:58:05 ◼   ► yep yeah so it kinda see that you know that thinking there I I'm guessing I [TS]

01:58:13 ◼   ► think like in those rentals that I know Apple has limits on that but you know in [TS]

01:58:17 ◼   ► some movies and some of these two of the cost more rent you know there's there's [TS]

01:58:21 ◼   ► new additions that i've seen [TS]

01:58:24 ◼   ► costs 599 and I think there's sometimes with the ones that are still in theaters [TS]

01:58:28 ◼   ► its $6.99 direct hit ya think one was like 10 bucks yeah so I think Apple [TS]

01:58:34 ◼   ► gives the you know the studios or whoever it is you know it's again [TS]

01:58:39 ◼   ► independent motion picture whoever controls the rights to the movie they [TS]

01:58:42 ◼   ► give them some pricing control on the rental and purchase price and that's the [TS]

01:58:47 ◼   ► big thing that sticks I think a lot of the publishers cross with Amazon is that [TS]

01:58:52 ◼   ► Amazon wants to just have unilateral control over the price of their stuff [TS]

01:58:58 ◼   ► and that's it is how Amazon Appstore works you can likes set like a suggested [TS]

01:59:07 ◼   ► sell it for $0.99 they do sell it for $0.99 and you get your thirty percent of [TS]

01:59:12 ◼   ► that and you know it hasn't had a big effect on the app industry because the [TS]

01:59:17 ◼   ► Amazon Appstore is [TS]

01:59:19 ◼   ► is relatively small player in mobile apps but in terms of ebooks you know the [TS]

01:59:23 ◼   ► Kindle Store is dominant probably you know a monopoly yeah although it's not a [TS]

01:59:30 ◼   ► monopoly I think I think in legal terms its monopoly right which is different [TS]

01:59:36 ◼   ► and confusing but I think has different it might give them a lot more leeway in [TS]

01:59:40 ◼   ► terms of antitrust laws you know and that whole weird thing that from [TS]

01:59:46 ◼   ► frustrated a lot of us with Apple ebooks case which has cost them hundreds of [TS]
