Malik what a week
[TS]
00:00:13
◼
►
yes it is and it's not even over yet I'm just surprised it's only Friday just
[TS]
00:00:24
◼
►
waiting for something else to happen tomorrow I am not even sure what the
[TS]
00:00:30
◼
►
biggest news of the week as I think it probably the the Facebook com / facebook
[TS]
00:00:35
◼
►
phone HTC first but I don't know there's also the the the WebKit I don't know
[TS]
00:00:44
◼
►
what you want to call it a divorce between Apple and Google or Google sort
[TS]
00:00:47
◼
►
of taken there have a webcam going their own way I think those two story is
[TS]
00:00:52
◼
►
pretty much the same story of Google vs Apple the narrative you now have been
[TS]
00:00:59
◼
►
talking about for a very long time I will I will think of the two events very
[TS]
00:01:07
◼
►
separately I think the Facebook Holmes story is essentially another assault by
[TS]
00:01:18
◼
►
the Android ecosystem on on Apple grade I mean even if you read all those
[TS]
00:01:25
◼
►
interviews black rubber gave to other print publications by fortune now I
[TS]
00:01:35
◼
►
didn't actually and Chinese basically talking about like how easy it is to
[TS]
00:01:41
◼
►
innovate on Android and how open your days and then they have a great
[TS]
00:01:45
◼
►
relationship with the bartender constrains which is kind of a passive
[TS]
00:01:50
◼
►
aggressive classic car reviews seen you know we got some issues we need to
[TS]
00:01:56
◼
►
resolve well and I do think it's it's almost surprising the level to which
[TS]
00:02:06
◼
►
Facebook home as just software is able to sort of redefine the Android
[TS]
00:02:12
◼
►
experience i mean and i know i make fun of it over and over again the whole
[TS]
00:02:17
◼
►
Android is open
[TS]
00:02:18
◼
►
mantra but here's an example where really it really is like it it's
[TS]
00:02:24
◼
►
designed at a level where an app that you just download from the Play Store
[TS]
00:02:28
◼
►
can once you you know you granted a bunch of permissions which i think is a
[TS]
00:02:33
◼
►
lot more broad than the typical app download from the Play Store but once
[TS]
00:02:38
◼
►
you say ok this I'm gonna allow this to do these things
[TS]
00:02:41
◼
►
your your phone interface is really completely redefined and you know it's
[TS]
00:02:46
◼
►
very very much the case that you cannot do anything like that on iOS I mean I'm
[TS]
00:02:51
◼
►
a part of me says thank god you know because when I don't want is for
[TS]
00:02:57
◼
►
controlling my user experience on my phone I mean I'm sorry I would I would
[TS]
00:03:04
◼
►
rather trust arco Brian you know in my pocket then the Facebook I'm sorry well
[TS]
00:03:11
◼
►
and and you know I'm no big fan of Android but I will say this though if
[TS]
00:03:15
◼
►
you think it's to Android's credit and I think it's a lesson learned from the PC
[TS]
00:03:22
◼
►
decade of the nineties and maybe even the two thousands that even though it
[TS]
00:03:29
◼
►
said let's say you and I don't know this for sure because it's not out yet it
[TS]
00:03:32
◼
►
doesn't hit the Play Store until the 12th and the Android phone I have here
[TS]
00:03:36
◼
►
is a Galaxy Nexus and I don't think that's on their list of supported phones
[TS]
00:03:41
◼
►
so I pry won't be able to try it but you know it is still a download from
[TS]
00:03:45
◼
►
Playstore so if you download it and you don't like what it's done to your phone
[TS]
00:03:49
◼
►
you can uninstall it you can delete the app and go back as opposed to the dark
[TS]
00:03:54
◼
►
days of you know PCs especially windows in the nineties where you might install
[TS]
00:04:00
◼
►
a normal browser toolbars and stuff like that
[TS]
00:04:04
◼
►
and you have no idea how to uninstall that's true i mean i i would i would
[TS]
00:04:09
◼
►
give you that I think the other issue which we we don't talk about often with
[TS]
00:04:15
◼
►
the Android is that you know it allows you to customize everything leg to the
[TS]
00:04:21
◼
►
to the system level and and Facebook is taking advantage of that and creating an
[TS]
00:04:30
◼
►
experience which is already which is very similar to how they see the world
[TS]
00:04:37
◼
►
and I i wonder if this is something we know something which becomes a trend
[TS]
00:04:42
◼
►
where successful companies like Facebook like to order like sport if I start to
[TS]
00:04:49
◼
►
learn their own you know
[TS]
00:04:52
◼
►
usability interface on top of and right and you know what Google does about it
[TS]
00:04:59
◼
►
would be interesting to see because when I look at Facebook com I was at the
[TS]
00:05:05
◼
►
event yesterday I looked at it and I said you know it's only a matter of time
[TS]
00:05:09
◼
►
before facebook launches its own OS it's only a matter of time before Google
[TS]
00:05:17
◼
►
brings Android back into the into the cage I think it's getting too crazy for
[TS]
00:05:23
◼
►
them you know it's Samsung is running over a red one version of Android and
[TS]
00:05:28
◼
►
Amazon did their own thing and you know now I think Facebook is gonna try and do
[TS]
00:05:33
◼
►
their own thing gets I just think they said at the UN that they will be
[TS]
00:05:38
◼
►
upgrading this every month like played with growing regularity and has like
[TS]
00:05:44
◼
►
great this is essentially just occurred in the Harz
[TS]
00:05:48
◼
►
devoted followers I'm another I'll give it eighteen months well and and I will
[TS]
00:05:54
◼
►
say this I mean I didn't I invited to be on the show yesterday but it was mainly
[TS]
00:05:58
◼
►
because I saw that after the event they had a Q&A and and their credit for
[TS]
00:06:02
◼
►
having a
[TS]
00:06:02
◼
►
Q&A with the press you know Apple often usually doesn't but I I saw that you
[TS]
00:06:10
◼
►
were pressing them on this exact issue this come on this is the first step
[TS]
00:06:14
◼
►
toward your own operating system and they didn't even really I mean they
[TS]
00:06:21
◼
►
didn't really addressed directly but they didn't really I thought their
[TS]
00:06:25
◼
►
answers to it we're kind of interesting because it wasn't a cadet denial that's
[TS]
00:06:28
◼
►
for sure you know one thing I like it was quite enjoying it he how very clean
[TS]
00:06:36
◼
►
mark has become in terms of media doesn't even acknowledge the question
[TS]
00:06:41
◼
►
and answers with what he wants to answer but I tried and they take you know the
[TS]
00:06:47
◼
►
limit the limit of time is always an issue but I'm fairly convinced that this
[TS]
00:06:53
◼
►
is just an opening salvo and and they they have to do it like in a move if
[TS]
00:07:00
◼
►
they aren't investing so much time and energy trying to create this user
[TS]
00:07:04
◼
►
experience on Android it makes perfect sense for them to go deeper I tell you
[TS]
00:07:10
◼
►
they may have been working on and always level program in the background and the
[TS]
00:07:15
◼
►
reason they're not launching a just yet he said it's not mature enough because
[TS]
00:07:19
◼
►
it takes a lot more to build a building operating system i mean took Google a
[TS]
00:07:25
◼
►
few years it took Apple many many years to get it done right and you know Apple
[TS]
00:07:30
◼
►
is in the business of Google is in the business building operating systems I I
[TS]
00:07:36
◼
►
will say this I have spoken to executives it up I mean really high up
[TS]
00:07:41
◼
►
and they see iOS and this is even just you know from yours even up to today
[TS]
00:07:49
◼
►
they see it as a continuous effort dating back to 1988 1989 and the
[TS]
00:07:55
◼
►
original NextStep operating system and in terms of things like graphics
[TS]
00:07:59
◼
►
performance
[TS]
00:08:01
◼
►
the smoothness of animation and rendering and stuff like that and and
[TS]
00:08:05
◼
►
certain technical advantages that iOS has had over Android and other
[TS]
00:08:10
◼
►
competitors all along they see that not as something that they've been working
[TS]
00:08:14
◼
►
on since 2005 or 2006 when they started working on the iPhone but is something
[TS]
00:08:18
◼
►
that dates back to 1989 I mean it is hard stuff
[TS]
00:08:22
◼
►
yeah and and you know and I will give the Facebook guys from credit for being
[TS]
00:08:29
◼
►
relentless do I think there is a little bit Microsoft in that company and they
[TS]
00:08:35
◼
►
are just a just don't like giving up and I think the thing that you have me
[TS]
00:08:40
◼
►
convinced of it in terms of this angle that this is just an opening salvo in
[TS]
00:08:45
◼
►
terms of a broader mobile initiative from Facebook and I think it's very
[TS]
00:08:51
◼
►
clever and I think it it shows it's a clever way like you said that if a full
[TS]
00:08:56
◼
►
operating system under their control maybe something maybe still something
[TS]
00:09:00
◼
►
based on Android but something more like Amazon's done a fork if it's not ready
[TS]
00:09:06
◼
►
yet this is a very this strategy of doing this first doing the home screen
[TS]
00:09:10
◼
►
first that can you can install on five very popular Android phones and shipped
[TS]
00:09:16
◼
►
a new phone from HTC that'll be an AT&T stores later this month right yeah it's
[TS]
00:09:24
◼
►
a great way to ship something as soon as possible
[TS]
00:09:27
◼
►
you know in that mantra of you know minimum viable product like what's the
[TS]
00:09:33
◼
►
minimum viable mobile operating system that Facebook could ship and home screen
[TS]
00:09:40
◼
►
might be it you know it's a way to ship early I think the other thing if you
[TS]
00:09:45
◼
►
really look at it
[TS]
00:09:46
◼
►
John they are they are basically they did something which is quite brilliant
[TS]
00:09:53
◼
►
they told they give the middle finger to Google in a big way and yet at the same
[TS]
00:09:59
◼
►
time they kept saying you know we love Google they have never shared in the
[TS]
00:10:03
◼
►
past there
[TS]
00:10:04
◼
►
hey Google your grade they're open we have you know we've really really
[TS]
00:10:09
◼
►
applaud what you're doing the narrative on Facebook
[TS]
00:10:12
◼
►
Google search and then suddenly they were saying all these nice things about
[TS]
00:10:19
◼
►
Google and in my view is you just trying to hide what was said he had to create
[TS]
00:10:24
◼
►
maybe I'm a little bit too cynical or to order for this industry but that's how
[TS]
00:10:29
◼
►
he did the shocking thing which I would say is that they're also Google's big
[TS]
00:10:35
◼
►
play was Google+ on the mobile right that's their social and here comes
[TS]
00:10:42
◼
►
Facebook had to switch earlier on top of handwriting and cheese great guys to
[TS]
00:10:48
◼
►
help with you and your Google Plus 8 is out we do social on your platform right
[TS]
00:10:54
◼
►
and I think that is what is going to make Google kind of have a little bit of
[TS]
00:10:59
◼
►
a second targets too late what should they do about Facebook and Android and
[TS]
00:11:05
◼
►
hope one day to keep it
[TS]
00:11:06
◼
►
height I i i do think I've seen it on Twitter and i've seen it also I saw
[TS]
00:11:11
◼
►
boris did you a Simcoe speculating along the same lines of does this is not the
[TS]
00:11:20
◼
►
end I think Google was already being prodded in this direction of hey we'd
[TS]
00:11:23
◼
►
given competitors too much by making Android this open too much of a leg up
[TS]
00:11:29
◼
►
right leg where wood and where would Amazon be in tablets if it were not for
[TS]
00:11:34
◼
►
the fact that Android is opens open source have we given away too much you
[TS]
00:11:39
◼
►
can't help but think given the it's not even implicit and explicit everybody
[TS]
00:11:44
◼
►
knows that Larry Page is is seriously got Google+ as one of his primary
[TS]
00:11:51
◼
►
objectives for the next few years ago Google right and that Facebook might be
[TS]
00:11:55
◼
►
their top competitor even more than Apple more than you know the most direct
[TS]
00:11:59
◼
►
competitor maybe and now they've given their most direct competitor this this
[TS]
00:12:06
◼
►
opportunity
[TS]
00:12:09
◼
►
to wonder whether they're they're reconsidering what that's going to mean
[TS]
00:12:12
◼
►
for the next major version of Android and be fun to see what happens I'm just
[TS]
00:12:19
◼
►
almost giddy with delight to describe the next story whatever happens will be
[TS]
00:12:23
◼
►
pretty arts and on similar lines I i wrote a little bit earlier this week but
[TS]
00:12:30
◼
►
I played off a report by Nicholas Carlson in Business Insider Andy rubin's
[TS]
00:12:38
◼
►
departure as Android lead and that it's nobody's on the record
[TS]
00:12:43
◼
►
unfortunately but it's really seems more and more than he would happen to him is
[TS]
00:12:48
◼
►
exactly what happened to Scott Forstall at Apple which is that he got pushed out
[TS]
00:12:54
◼
►
we didn't decide to step down yet his his little do another moon shot for
[TS]
00:13:01
◼
►
Google thing is really just a gardening leave where he's you know waiting for
[TS]
00:13:05
◼
►
options divest or something like that are non compete to expire I would not
[TS]
00:13:10
◼
►
disagree with you I heard the same story from multiple sources that he got pushed
[TS]
00:13:15
◼
►
out mostly because he was very difficult to work for it I mean I go again the one
[TS]
00:13:21
◼
►
phrase I heard from somebody was quote unquote larry was sick of the fighting
[TS]
00:13:24
◼
►
yeah and the thing that so telling about that and is that the fighting was with
[TS]
00:13:30
◼
►
me from passing on sundar Pichai the crown leader who took over Android and
[TS]
00:13:41
◼
►
that's really when you read between the lines
[TS]
00:13:43
◼
►
the biggest tell that this was not an d rubin's idea because I am a couple of
[TS]
00:13:48
◼
►
people said the same thing that child is the last guy Andy Rubin would have
[TS]
00:13:52
◼
►
wanted to take over Android is he's the guy he was fighting with all the time
[TS]
00:13:56
◼
►
one of the guys he was fighting with all the time I think it was a very explicit
[TS]
00:14:00
◼
►
message which went out to rest of the companies that you do what is necessary
[TS]
00:14:06
◼
►
for Google this is why I am convinced that the Android get you know
[TS]
00:14:13
◼
►
gets brought back to the farm I did too much I've said this for years and just
[TS]
00:14:20
◼
►
just not mad it's not even like the details of it it's just a general feel
[TS]
00:14:24
◼
►
like an emotional feel that Android to me always felt like an independent
[TS]
00:14:30
◼
►
company that Google happens down not part of Google
[TS]
00:14:37
◼
►
just everything from their graphic design too I know there's just so much
[TS]
00:14:42
◼
►
about it that it just did not seem aligned with the company really other
[TS]
00:14:45
◼
►
than the fact that it ships with a bunch of Google services you know as apps in
[TS]
00:14:50
◼
►
part of the default upset and I think that definitely the message that I get
[TS]
00:14:57
◼
►
is that going to change and that the next major version of Android is gonna
[TS]
00:15:00
◼
►
be a lot more googling the talking of next version of Android being more
[TS]
00:15:09
◼
►
googly I would say it's interesting that the Chrome OS and Android look so much
[TS]
00:15:22
◼
►
similar when their purposes are entirely different and I just wonder what is the
[TS]
00:15:28
◼
►
unified experience look like he's two projects actually run by the same guy
[TS]
00:15:34
◼
►
will be pretty fun to see and I'm I'm actually pretty excited about your
[TS]
00:15:41
◼
►
Google is doing not not entirely as as somebody who's going to end up spending
[TS]
00:15:46
◼
►
his time on Android but just to see them make these moves is at least interesting
[TS]
00:15:52
◼
►
you know if they're not being boring compared to now that's definitely the
[TS]
00:15:56
◼
►
case you know and I think people I think some people over read into my taste in
[TS]
00:16:03
◼
►
the fact that I generally prefer over Android and most design centers
[TS]
00:16:10
◼
►
not to mean that that that doesn't mean that I don't look at Android with open
[TS]
00:16:14
◼
►
eyes and appreciate a lot of the stuff that they're doing and I agree with you
[TS]
00:16:18
◼
►
i i especially now that it's under 11 person I do wonder where that's gonna go
[TS]
00:16:25
◼
►
with chrome is an OS Android OS rain I you know this brings me to the bigger
[TS]
00:16:31
◼
►
challenge in the beaches you and I have talked about this in the passive Lake
[TS]
00:16:36
◼
►
what we what does Apple do like he know this is you know time and the idea of
[TS]
00:16:44
◼
►
operating systems user interfaces everything is up for grabs and it seems
[TS]
00:16:50
◼
►
like our guys and just like to be littered stockard static I don't know
[TS]
00:16:58
◼
►
what do you think about that I mean you you are very close to the design
[TS]
00:17:03
◼
►
thinking around a pole and iPhone and iOS wow I i dont know I don't think that
[TS]
00:17:12
◼
►
there's as much need for new stuff major news stuff as as some people do because
[TS]
00:17:20
◼
►
I don't know I can again I i think i talked about this in a sense that I'm
[TS]
00:17:26
◼
►
getting older that I'm no longer as infatuated with new for the sake of
[TS]
00:17:30
◼
►
newness I guess some people yesterday I saw people and immediately after the
[TS]
00:17:35
◼
►
Facebook home launched from owning the fact that that that that little drag
[TS]
00:17:43
◼
►
your face up
[TS]
00:17:45
◼
►
left or right thing seems so much more cooler than than anything and I S and it
[TS]
00:17:52
◼
►
is cool and it's definitely novel but I feel like I can't help but wonder if
[TS]
00:17:56
◼
►
that's gonna be confusing to a lot of people like I i appreciate the fact not
[TS]
00:18:00
◼
►
that I need it as a super nerd type of guy but I for most people I i think that
[TS]
00:18:06
◼
►
the fact that on iOS you can just look at it and figure it out it it it tells
[TS]
00:18:11
◼
►
you like it actually tells you and iOS when you have your phone locked slide
[TS]
00:18:16
◼
►
this to unlock it and people some people still have trouble with that

because they don't slide all the way in and hold it does slide a little bit let
[TS]
00:18:24
◼

go and it goes back so I think it's really hard to overstate the success
[TS]
00:18:31
◼
►
Apple's had because iOS is so simple and there's so many ways that what people
[TS]
00:18:37
◼
►
see in other systems that they see as Apple may be falling behind in with bang
[TS]
00:18:42
◼

regard would just lose so much of what makes iOS popular with regular people
[TS]
00:18:50
◼

you know I just a little confusing time right now I think the there's a lot of
[TS]
00:18:57
◼
►
at least there is a lot of talk about how things are different now we'd like
[TS]
00:19:03
◼
►
you know Android and Samsung you know all sorts of new user experiences coming
[TS]
00:19:09
◼
►
to market and and then you also had the issue of like you know i mean Apple
[TS]
00:19:14
◼
►
still continues to do really I wonder if like the next you know report is going
[TS]
00:19:21
◼
►
to be something to watch for you know I don't know I don't know I guess that is
[TS]
00:19:27
◼
►
coming soon I feel like they warned so heavily that this was going to be the
[TS]
00:19:32
◼
►
first I mean if it's not there there really gonna blow past expectations but
[TS]
00:19:37
◼
►
they warned so heavily three months ago that this coming report was gonna be the
[TS]
00:19:42
◼
►
first one in nine on how many quarters 16 quarters or something like that that
[TS]
00:19:46
◼
►
shows a year-over-year earnings decrease although I think revenues should still
[TS]
00:19:51
◼
►
increase significantly year over year but the margins have shrunk enough for
[TS]
00:19:56
◼
►
whatever reason recently that earnings are going to be down a little bit year
[TS]
00:20:00
◼
►
over year so we'll see how the market reacts but I think that that's already
[TS]
00:20:03
◼
►
baked into the the depression of Apple's stock price great
[TS]
00:20:07
◼
►
about like in this bigger the bigger netted him and on Apple is that they are
[TS]
00:20:13
◼
►
failing to keep up on the the play outside of things which i think is a big
[TS]
00:20:19
◼
►
challenge for them you know we saw the iCloud related stories pop up this past
[TS]
00:20:25
◼
►
week and then you have the the problem with chrome or so to speak and I know I
[TS]
00:20:33
◼
►
would love to know your thinking about this figure the guy who understands the
[TS]
00:20:39
◼
►
software site if Apple better than most people do I think that that one of the I
[TS]
00:20:46
◼
►
do think of the most part that that getting the iCloud stuff to work as well
[TS]
00:20:51
◼
►
as the guy I think it needs for Apple to really succeed over the next five years
[TS]
00:20:57
◼
►
I have in the last five yrs the iCloud stuff needs to start working as well for
[TS]
00:21:03
◼
►
third-party developers as what do you want to call it Cocoa Touch or UIKit but
[TS]
00:21:09
◼
►
whatever you want to call it that this framework that you used to make native
[TS]
00:21:13
◼
►
iPhone and iPad apps and how much you know when you talk to developers how
[TS]
00:21:18
◼
►
much easier it is to write really good-looking smoothly animated beautiful
[TS]
00:21:24
◼
►
apps for iPhone as opposed to other platforms they need to get it so the
[TS]
00:21:30
◼
►
writing stuff that stores data and sinks data to the cloud is just as good as it
[TS]
00:21:36
◼
►
is to make good looking at apps doesn't make sense
[TS]
00:21:40
◼
►
yea and they're not there yet and you know part of it I just saw that Google
[TS]
00:21:44
◼
►
has announced some new developer features fried Google Drive and some of
[TS]
00:21:50
◼
►
them you know a couple of the headlines have said that its iCloud heading in the
[TS]
00:21:54
◼
►
direction of iCloud where it's not just like Dropbox where it's a folder that
[TS]
00:21:59
◼
►
you sync to Google it has they've added key-value storage which is an iCloud
[TS]
00:22:04
◼
►
feature in a taxi and iCloud feature that works pretty well if you talk to
[TS]
00:22:08
◼
►
developers and I forget what else but they don't have
[TS]
00:22:13
◼
►
I get data base level database record levels think they don't even try it and
[TS]
00:22:19
◼
►
that's the part of iCloud that developers are bedeviled by it that's
[TS]
00:22:23
◼
►
what you know the Ars Technica story was about that's what rich seals incredibly
[TS]
00:22:27
◼
►
detailed and I think very very fair technical assessment that are linked to
[TS]
00:22:33
◼
►
under this week and it's also diverged who was it who wrote the story was Ellis
[TS]
00:22:40
◼
►
hamburger hamburger at the verge had a really great story and what made it
[TS]
00:22:46
◼
►
great was he really hit me must have talked to at least two dozen or more
[TS]
00:22:49
◼
►
developers to get different perspectives but they all kind of told the same story
[TS]
00:22:54
◼
►
about poor data sync entire cloud Google doesn't even try that I mean so it's
[TS]
00:23:00
◼
►
frustrating for developers insofar as that core data syncing to iCloud it it
[TS]
00:23:05
◼
►
is not fair to say it doesn't work but it is fair to say it does not work well
[TS]
00:23:10
◼
►
enough and to the point where a lot of applications simply can't rely on it but
[TS]
00:23:18
◼
►
in another sense Apple's ahead because they're at least trying something that
[TS]
00:23:21
◼
►
Google isn't offering it you know Amazon doesn't have so we'll see I mean is it
[TS]
00:23:28
◼
►
is it is a case where maybe they shouldn't have shipped when they did
[TS]
00:23:33
◼
►
maybe they should have left it in the in the labs for another year or was it
[TS]
00:23:37
◼
►
worth getting it out there to to maybe help iron out the kinks in the future in
[TS]
00:23:42
◼
►
the feel you know i i would say that you know they they need to kind of take at
[TS]
00:23:51
◼
►
least a step back and leg figure out the entire internet strategy now just iCloud
[TS]
00:23:58
◼
►
not just iTunes they really need to figure out how internet interfaces with
[TS]
00:24:05
◼
►
everything they do including their IRS how deeply integrated I think what I'm
[TS]
00:24:11
◼
►
trying to say is that if you look at Google they are coming from disposition
[TS]
00:24:15
◼
►
of knowing web services really really well and they're building a design and
[TS]
00:24:20
◼
►
hardware experience on top of that
[TS]
00:24:22
◼
►
much easier to do compared to what Apple is trying to do is graphical web
[TS]
00:24:29
◼
►
experience into its way of thinking and I think unless they figure that out
[TS]
00:24:34
◼
►
there will always be challenged for this I go out I problems I think that the
[TS]
00:24:39
◼
►
company they don't think about the internet the way as native Internet
[TS]
00:24:44
◼
►
companies do and I think they're not understanding the little fact that it's
[TS]
00:24:49
◼
►
not enough to make great design create hugh i great hardware great software you
[TS]
00:24:56
◼
►
have to have the ability to be a great connected experience and I think great
[TS]
00:25:02
◼
►
as Apple might be on all those things
[TS]
00:25:04
◼
►
internet is and will always be it you know we cried and they're in a chink in
[TS]
00:25:10
◼
►
the armor and they said they really need to kind they have to have a step back
[TS]
00:25:15
◼
►
thinking about this and that they need I personally think they need to go find a
[TS]
00:25:23
◼
►
thirty five-year-old chief internet officer that's what they need they don't
[TS]
00:25:28
◼
►
need a big company there need to buy a lot of things they need to buy a guy on
[TS]
00:25:35
◼
►
a guy who are native internet thinkers who are in their mid-thirties who have
[TS]
00:25:40
◼
►
grown up on broadband who think about devices from a connected experience side
[TS]
00:25:45
◼
►
if I was free I would want to hear but I'm not but they would look you know
[TS]
00:25:50
◼
►
there's a guy who don't snap guide you the friend of mine Daniel rapper he know
[TS]
00:25:54
◼
►
he could be a good guide to run did you know the internet like ideology they
[TS]
00:26:00
◼
►
need the internet ideology and they need to inculcate the whole company with
[TS]
00:26:06
◼
►
connected thinking and I don't think they have it I just look at all their
[TS]
00:26:11
◼
►
products great as did not I would not be able to use anything from any other
[TS]
00:26:15
◼
►
company but they still need to think about the services as part of the core
[TS]
00:26:20
◼
►
software not be an experience and if they need to go away from this what's
[TS]
00:26:25
◼
►
happening with iCloud if it just is
[TS]
00:26:28
◼
►
bringing in that DNA I mean I know it sounds kind of I would dare but at least
[TS]
00:26:34
◼
►
that's how I think about it I agree that I think that there's I've always said
[TS]
00:26:38
◼
►
that I think for anybody whether it's a person or even an institution where you
[TS]
00:26:43
◼
►
start in forums where you're going to look at things forever and you know
[TS]
00:26:50
◼
►
Apple started pre-internet by decades and I mean just for example I i went my
[TS]
00:26:58
◼
►
freshman year of college was 1991 and I went to a very technical University
[TS]
00:27:03
◼
►
Drexel is you know super nerdy one of the first famously one of the first
[TS]
00:27:08
◼
►
colleges that required all students to have a computer but when I got there in
[TS]
00:27:13
◼
►
1991 and everybody was supposed to buy a Mac and they committed you know traffic
[TS]
00:27:20
◼
►
discount student discounts so you go there in like the second day you'd go in
[TS]
00:27:25
◼
►
and pick up your Mac from this student center where they had you know the ones
[TS]
00:27:29
◼
►
that you bought through the University take it up in your dorm and the only
[TS]
00:27:33
◼
►
thing you connected it to was the power supply in law there were no there was no
[TS]
00:27:37
◼
►
Ethernet in the dorms yet you know and modems were incredibly expensive the
[TS]
00:27:43
◼
►
cheapest modem was three or four hundred bucks so we all looked up our computers
[TS]
00:27:49
◼
►
and we add freshman year we end up making our own little network it was
[TS]
00:27:53
◼
►
this little number those things on if you remember these things phone net yes
[TS]
00:27:57
◼
►
where you plug it in the serial port of the Mac and then you can just use either
[TS]
00:28:03
◼
►
copper wiring or just phone cable and there's just just copper wiring and you
[TS]
00:28:09
◼
►
get a little apple local local local local talk network and we did that we
[TS]
00:28:15
◼
►
could play games against each other but it wasn't a campus wide network it was
[TS]
00:28:18
◼
►
just the people in the dorm hallway who we ran copper wiring between that was
[TS]
00:28:24
◼
►
our network which is crazy if you think you know in hindsight I mean anybody
[TS]
00:28:27
◼
►
who's younger than me even just by five years even somebody who went to college
[TS]
00:28:33
◼
►
five years after me
[TS]
00:28:34
◼
►
it's almost laughable that you would have a computer in your dorm room and
[TS]
00:28:39
◼
►
not have it hooked up to any sort of network I mean it's almost like sure
[TS]
00:28:44
◼
►
that anybody who is that young is laughing right now they're probably
[TS]
00:28:46
◼
►
laughing out loud they are they think I'm exaggerating and I think there's a
[TS]
00:28:51
◼
►
lot of people that still is Apple's route where you buy a beautiful Apple
[TS]
00:28:56
◼
►
computing product and it's really thoughtful interface it's beautiful
[TS]
00:29:03
◼
►
it feels good in your hand and you go home and you use it by yourself right
[TS]
00:29:09
◼
►
but that was then and what is now is that all the people start with the
[TS]
00:29:16
◼
►
experience of being connected and services just being there right leg in
[TS]
00:29:22
◼
►
like how all those things connect with the actual hardware also defines how we
[TS]
00:29:29
◼
►
feel about the hard way not just the user experience level the user
[TS]
00:29:33
◼
►
experience also means the Internet experience now and I think that should
[TS]
00:29:39
◼
►
change in how the water tanks about these things I i just you know there was
[TS]
00:29:47
◼
►
like more card being put into this on the Apple on on this front as I feel
[TS]
00:29:56
◼
►
they don't think about it that much so that I think they do but I don't know
[TS]
00:30:01
◼
►
though that it's high enough priority
[TS]
00:30:03
◼
►
you know and some of the stuff they've done really is great and has worked
[TS]
00:30:06
◼
►
really well I mean I think that the the iCloud backups for iOS devices has been
[TS]
00:30:11
◼
►
an unheralded success I think the fact that you know that most people seem to
[TS]
00:30:17
◼
►
have it on you know it its opt-in everybody has to make a choice right you
[TS]
00:30:24
◼
►
when you turn on your new iPhone or iPad you've gotta go through this setup where
[TS]
00:30:29
◼
►
you you know if you already have an iCloud account you can enter it and if
[TS]
00:30:32
◼
►
you don't they incurred you strongly but don't force you to create one and if you
[TS]
00:30:37
◼
►
they asked if you want to back up to iCloud right and and from everything
[TS]
00:30:42
◼
►
I've heard from people who you know do tech support for people and daring
[TS]
00:30:47
◼
►
fireball readers who worked like as geniuses in the stores and stuff like
[TS]
00:30:50
◼
►
that it's been a huge huge success because now people come in with a good
[TS]
00:30:55
◼
►
dead iPhone and you know either buy a new one or get a replacement under
[TS]
00:31:00
◼
►
warranty or whatever and they keep their iCloud password into the replacement one
[TS]
00:31:06
◼
►
and while they're in the store on Apple's superfast wifi boom their stuff
[TS]
00:31:10
◼
►
is back as opposed to before they'd be like backup power and they just look at
[TS]
00:31:16
◼
►
the guy on ebay did you ever played in your computer and they like I think I
[TS]
00:31:19
◼
►
did when I the day I bought it and that is the last time they plugged it into
[TS]
00:31:24
◼
►
their computer and so everything that had after that you know it's gone so I
[TS]
00:31:28
◼
►
think that's been a huge success for Apple but it's it's monolithic right
[TS]
00:31:35
◼
►
it's restoring its this whole you know you can restore your home phone to a new
[TS]
00:31:39
◼
►
funds and that does work well but I feel like the incremental updates you know
[TS]
00:31:46
◼
►
this is just a little stuff throughout the day of having you know your records
[TS]
00:31:51
◼
►
in each app sync seamlessly between devices is you know it's it's a huge
[TS]
00:31:57
◼
►
challenge for them I am I'm I'm a believer that they can get it right
[TS]
00:32:02
◼
►
of all the people out there they're the one company which will understand how
[TS]
00:32:09
◼
►
human beings like to use the internet and connectivity and all those things
[TS]
00:32:17
◼
►
and bring it all together but they need to make it a top priority
[TS]
00:32:21
◼

like I i dont a little tiny post last night in which Microsoft Robbie Bach and
[TS]
00:32:27
◼
►
one of the other guys talking about Microsoft Kin in 2010 3 years later
[TS]
00:32:35
◼

argues that pretty much the same language describing Facebook home and in
[TS]
00:32:41
◼
►
three years what Microsoft come get it right
[TS]
00:32:44
◼
►
Facebook guarded right because they are internet native company
[TS]
00:32:48
◼
►
Microsoft had the right idea is just was a bad you expired UI and bad execution
[TS]
00:32:56
◼
►
just at companies like their middle names should be bad execution
[TS]
00:33:01
◼
►
technologies first and became too cute on it and I don't know why you know they
[TS]
00:33:06
◼
►
were the first ones Rick tabloid just couldn't get it right they were the
[TS]
00:33:09
◼
►
first ones like a proper smartphone but like a programmable software with
[TS]
00:33:15
◼
►
Windows te and they still can get it right so as a company they're bad
[TS]
00:33:20
◼
►
they're bad execution guys but the key Microsoft Kin mean a lot of sense they
[TS]
00:33:26
◼
►
were talking about people saying drink they were talking about content and
[TS]
00:33:30
◼
►
context they were talking about all these things three years ago but they
[TS]
00:33:34
◼
►
were not on native internet company said they didn't quite understand how to do
[TS]
00:33:38
◼
►
it right
[TS]
00:33:39
◼
►
Facebook yesterday when I saw it my issues with their privacy you know you
[TS]
00:33:46
◼
►
know disregarding privacy a site that's actually a product bid for the connected
[TS]
00:33:51
◼

age right but not a lot of people use it or not remains to be seen but it takes
[TS]
00:33:57
◼

you to the account that you're always on your always engaging with the smartphone
[TS]
00:34:01
◼

you're always connect it and I think that's too team King off that kept
[TS]
00:34:07
◼

thinking is there like and that's what happened needs and let's hold the
[TS]
00:34:13
◼
►
privacy discussion for a moment but that one note I have renowned to speak to you
[TS]
00:34:19
◼
►
about is to me and what it was is is proof of something that I've suspected
[TS]
00:34:23
◼
►
for a while which is the Facebook now realizes they've had a change of heart
[TS]
00:34:28
◼
►
at some point the last few years where they realize that they're not a website
[TS]
00:34:32
◼
►
their service I write the website is just one way to access the service and
[TS]
00:34:41
◼
►
that they need to think that way and and you know and now mobile is a different
[TS]
00:34:44
◼
►
way to access the service yeah I totally agree with you not think about it this
[TS]
00:34:49
◼
►
way that day
[TS]
00:34:51
◼
►
read the Facebook com
[TS]
00:34:55
◼
►
then essentially saying what has been Facebook since 2005 the whole news feed
[TS]
00:35:02
◼
►
idea it's ok to not have that idea let's break up everything into individual
[TS]
00:35:08
◼
►
components I mean that's the big implication of yesterday's news is that
[TS]
00:35:13
◼
►
they're ok you know dis aggregating the entire Facebook experience into a whole
[TS]
00:35:20
◼
►
different screen and not just that one web canonical website interface yeah and
[TS]
00:35:28
◼

I think that is a very interesting way of looking at Facebook man's like gave
[TS]
00:35:34
◼
►
their attorneys agree with you 100% there is sort of his energy early and
[TS]
00:35:39
◼

and and and and they're finally beginning to embrace that maybe they've
[TS]
00:35:45
◼
►
already always embraced it just now I don't think so I think they're old
[TS]
00:35:49
◼

mindset was what's the best way to get our website to people including even
[TS]
00:35:54
◼

their initial effort on mobile which i think was mostly you know just wrapping

00:40:13
◼

I I am fascinated by the company and and keep my eye on the one thing all of us
[TS]
00:40:19
◼
►
anybody who covers the industry has noticed over the last two years is that
[TS]
00:40:23
◼
►
they've hired an enormous amount of design town people have a lot of people
[TS]
00:40:28
◼
►
who used to work at Apple might Matusz for example iOS developers the Kaiser
[TS]
00:40:37
◼
►
did kaleidoscope so far and a couple of other great apps like really high
[TS]
00:40:43
◼
►
quality at the type of apps that that win have one Apple Design Awards those
[TS]
00:40:48
◼
►
type of developers and designers Facebook has been hiring as fast as they
[TS]
00:40:53
◼
►
can get them and I know firsthand from a bunch of my friend that they've reached
[TS]
00:41:00
◼
►
out to more who turned them down
[TS]
00:41:03
◼
►
yeah they're stockpiling the nuclear weapons of design warm and they're just
[TS]
00:41:08
◼
►
bringing on anybody and everybody I I actually had a list and then I just
[TS]
00:41:14
◼
►
delicious got so big that I just forgot
[TS]
00:41:18
◼
►
keeping track of these people and I think my take is that these guys are
[TS]
00:41:28
◼
►
gonna stop at nothing to get get it right for all different kind of device
[TS]
00:41:33
◼
►
experiences and all kinds of web experiences I i do agree with you that
[TS]
00:41:38
◼
►
they are splintering away from the idea of a unified field in becoming more of
[TS]
00:41:44
◼
►
thinking of the information as being abstract from the interface for right
[TS]
00:41:56
◼
►
and then here's this device here is a forest of ice what's the best interface
[TS]
00:42:00
◼
►
for this was nothing at all I get is on here
[TS]
00:42:03
◼
►
21 inch monitor where you're running a web browser right there so much a design
[TS]
00:42:09
◼
►
thinking in the company mean that they are thinking about data and design and
[TS]
00:42:17
◼
►
screen in a very contextual very thoughtful manner I think that's a new
[TS]
00:42:22
◼
►
record Facebook is doing and I think this is going to be an interesting
[TS]
00:42:27
◼
►
challenge for our friends at Apple like how do they think about all these things
[TS]
00:42:34
◼
►
right like I don't think Dad has been part of their thinking I don't think you
[TS]
00:42:39
◼
►
know Internet has been part of the experience stinking so far you know they
[TS]
00:42:45
◼
►
can still continue to just make hardware and makes software and should do what
[TS]
00:42:49
◼
►
they do but design and the connectedness are also two data and connectedness for
[TS]
00:42:55
◼
►
the state of connectedness are part of the thinking which they need to have and
[TS]
00:43:00
◼
►
which is what I think these guys are able to do look Google is done the same
[TS]
00:43:04
◼
►
thing I I don't know if you've noticed Google's absolute just garden infinitely
[TS]
00:43:10
◼
►
better looking than they used to and the reason these days they're also
[TS]
00:43:14
◼
►
understanding that have fun on the desktop don't necessarily have to work
[TS]
00:43:20
◼
►
like the way they do on the mobile and and they then but they're also going in
[TS]
00:43:25
◼
►
the you know they're coming up it seemed
[TS]
00:43:27
◼
►
design language as for various different screens which is the Google look the
[TS]
00:43:32
◼
►
Apple look Facebook look at all these guys are thinking about that and I think
[TS]
00:43:37
◼
►
from from my standpoint I do feel that Facebook has slowed reaction advantage
[TS]
00:43:43
◼
►
right now I gently disagree with you though I feel that would Facebook showed
[TS]
00:43:49
◼
►
yesterday's more of a threat to Google than Apple because I feel way what
[TS]
00:43:54
◼
►
Facebook is done has become to me and I haven't seen the phone first hand but I
[TS]
00:43:59
◼
►
really do take your word for it and the videos were pretty impressive but it
[TS]
00:44:03
◼
►
looks to me like the first other company that's created an apple quality humane
[TS]
00:44:08
◼
►
interface for touch in terms of the the organic yes of the way that animations
[TS]
00:44:16
◼
►
work and it's not just that things bounce it's the way that they bounds and
[TS]
00:44:22
◼
►
stretching like I said like the making it feel organic is is the best way I can
[TS]
00:44:27
◼
►
think of put it and while Google's iOS apps I think I've gotten really good and
[TS]
00:44:34
◼
►
and consistent and have a very nice Google wide brand I don't see that on
[TS]
00:44:38
◼
►
their Android apps for Android apps to me and it's to me it stems I think it's
[TS]
00:44:44
◼
►
purposeful I think it stems from the whole name Android that they've gone
[TS]
00:44:48
◼
►
through this sort of robotic athletic but it's it's Darrell and way that like
[TS]
00:44:56
◼
►
when you bounce when you scroll on and listens to fight then you get to the end
[TS]
00:44:59
◼
►
it doesn't bounce at all it just ends its it feels very mechanical just
[TS]
00:45:04
◼
►
there's no organic nice to it I feel like it lacks humanity and that to me is
[TS]
00:45:09
◼
►
a problem for Google because Google would Google wants I think most is not
[TS]
00:45:14
◼
►
to be more like Apple and sell their own success $700 phones and tablet but to be
[TS]
00:45:22
◼
►
more like Facebook and have people share their personal information and do their
[TS]
00:45:26
◼
►
social networking through Google+ and I feel like I feel like Facebook getting
[TS]
00:45:32
◼
►
more humane in their design
[TS]
00:45:35
◼
►
helps Facebook stay ahead of Google and that regard ok I mean you know I have I
[TS]
00:45:43
◼
►
do feel that they're all these three companies are on the you know they've
[TS]
00:45:48
◼
►
been on a collision course so to speak and well and among the other news this
[TS]
00:45:54
◼
►
week on the collision course so we've got Amazon who already has tablets based
[TS]
00:45:58
◼
►
on Android complete Forks now they've hired Charlie Kindel who has the most
[TS]
00:46:06
◼
►
amazing name for someone to be a hired by Amazon even though he did he has in
[TS]
00:46:11
◼
►
the AL transposed versus their e-readers but he used to work at Microsoft mobile
[TS]
00:46:19
◼
►
and since leaving Microsoft has written I think extremely cogently I mean I've
[TS]
00:46:25
◼
►
linked on several times on fireball is his blog and very astute and various
[TS]
00:46:30
◼
►
students are the mobile industry as a whole for us quote unquote secret
[TS]
00:46:34
◼
►
project but I think you know is there anybody who isn't thinking he's been
[TS]
00:46:38
◼
►
hired by Amazon to lead their mobile phone and I don't think that anything
[TS]
00:46:44
◼
►
it's nothing it's it's I am convinced that it's it's a phone and Charlie's
[TS]
00:46:50
◼
►
canal builders and I think that's a great hire because I said I just from
[TS]
00:46:55
◼
►
reading his blog rate seems to me like you know i mean obviously I think that's
[TS]
00:46:59
◼
►
kind of his openness is gonna stop in that regard but I think he's a really
[TS]
00:47:03
◼
►
astute observer of of what's you know what's made the mobile industry take
[TS]
00:47:08
◼
►
over the last few years I had a chance to meet with them and be on a panel with
[TS]
00:47:14
◼
►
them like a couple of months ago and men that get is one smart cookie I can't
[TS]
00:47:21
◼
►
believe you know Microsoft lets people like him walk out and just as amazing to
[TS]
00:47:27
◼
►
me and it just boggles my mind like how can you have talent like that just walk
[TS]
00:47:33
◼
►
proud but most important thing I think from an Amazon perspective is that
[TS]
00:47:41
◼
►
the experience they're going to control from shopping standpoint now have a
[TS]
00:47:48
◼
►
phone also I mean that justice just gonna be amazingly brilliant way of
[TS]
00:47:54
◼
►
thinking about shopping and buying teams and you know it just has a meeting of
[TS]
00:47:59
◼
►
those kind of thinking about the world and you know and it is it's you have to
[TS]
00:48:05
◼
►
kind of think about you know there's the the old adage follow the money right and
[TS]
00:48:09
◼
►
and so these guys are all competing with each other and it did this take phones
[TS]
00:48:13
◼
►
and even talk tablets but just found almost everybody only has one phone at
[TS]
00:48:18
◼
►
the time right guys like me and you you know my office full of phones in and
[TS]
00:48:23
◼
►
more than one SIM card at the time because we're testing phones and
[TS]
00:48:26
◼
►
something that when we were clearly oddballs right and and business guys who
[TS]
00:48:30
◼
►
have a iPhone and a Blackberry or something like that there's such a small
[TS]
00:48:35
◼
►
number of people it's not even worth thinking about right people get one
[TS]
00:48:39
◼
►
phone at a time and unless it breaks or something like that they keep it for at
[TS]
00:48:42
◼
►
least two years because they buy under so there are there's absolutely they're
[TS]
00:48:48
◼
►
all competing against each other because they want you when you go by your next
[TS]
00:48:52
◼
►
phone to buy their phone right so there's definitely competition but their
[TS]
00:48:57
◼
►
interests are all very very different Apple really just want you to buy the
[TS]
00:49:01
◼
►
iPhone cuz they make a lot of money once you've bought the iPhone and they want
[TS]
00:49:04
◼
►
to keep you happy so that you'll use their services and stuff like that but
[TS]
00:49:08
◼
►
they've already got the money and their main interest in making you happy is so
[TS]
00:49:12
◼
►
that the next phone you buy is also an iPhone Google and Facebook are primarily
[TS]
00:49:18
◼
►
in the ad business right they want you to use their stuff because they want to
[TS]
00:49:21
◼
►
be able to make money on the ads are going to show you and Amazon different
[TS]
00:49:26
◼
►
than all the others just want you to buy stuff from Amazon and if you are going
[TS]
00:49:31
◼
►
to buy more stuff because your phone is an Amazon phone that's great I think
[TS]
00:49:37
◼
►
they should just give these devices away from free i mean
[TS]
00:49:42
◼
►
my view is bored the tablets and the phone if they make them they should give
[TS]
00:49:47
◼
►
them away for free if they want people to shop from them constantly I mean you
[TS]
00:49:52
◼
►
know it's like the logic on buying an iPhone is our maybe even a Samsung
[TS]
00:49:59
◼
►
Android is that you can basically go to any place in by anything or do anything
[TS]
00:50:06
◼
►
without regard for one specific service in and just seen as swiss model and and
[TS]
00:50:15
◼
►
I kinda like that but if these companies let's say even Amazon want us to buy
[TS]
00:50:25
◼
►
their own they should try and make a spend a lot of money in there I was
[TS]
00:50:30
◼
►
going down for free so that yeah I'll happily shop on it no problems I mean I
[TS]
00:50:35
◼
►
shop on it like I mean by pretty much everything on Amazon right now i buy
[TS]
00:50:40
◼
►
everything I can buy on Amazon from Amazon just about if I can you know and
[TS]
00:50:45
◼
►
if I think that they have it I i I check their first true for me I thought the
[TS]
00:50:53
◼
►
same thought on the facebook phone pricing like Apple they don't want the
[TS]
00:50:58
◼
►
day it's in their interest to have a phone that is free with contract you
[TS]
00:51:02
◼
►
know the the two year old iPhone for now but not as their big news this is the
[TS]
00:51:11
◼
►
thing when they come up on stage and unveil something new they don't want to
[TS]
00:51:14
◼
►
come out with something new and say that it's free it doesn't work for them
[TS]
00:51:17
◼
►
because it doesn't help their brand image as a premium brand right there
[TS]
00:51:23
◼
►
it's this sort of premium luxury car or affordable luxury i should say right
[TS]
00:51:30
◼
►
where it's not like buying a Rolex watch where it's way too expensive for most
[TS]
00:51:35
◼
►
people it's hey here's the best phone on the market and you can afford it 'cause
[TS]
00:51:39
◼
►
it starts at 199 right it's this affordable luxury
[TS]
00:51:43
◼
►
free doesn't fit in with that whereas with the Facebook thing with like the
[TS]
00:51:49
◼
►
first I don't know if they're going to show ads in the thing to me like why not
[TS]
00:51:55
◼
►
make it free
[TS]
00:51:56
◼
►
yeah with the contract with the in terms of what then how do you get 18 team on
[TS]
00:52:01
◼
►
you get AT&T on board because it still comes it's still the two-year contract
[TS]
00:52:05
◼
►
not a free phone that you don't have any obligation for but quote unquote free
[TS]
00:52:10
◼
►
agreed to a guy I am with you and that 100% they need to figure that one out
[TS]
00:52:15
◼
►
and they would actually do if they were making an actual phone which was for
[TS]
00:52:21
◼
►
free and people get it for free and they could show a generate great I mean I'm
[TS]
00:52:27
◼
►
pretty sure there is like many many people who want something like that yeah
[TS]
00:52:34
◼
►
and you know and Amazon's the one who i think is most likely to just go there
[TS]
00:52:38
◼
►
just do it maybe even out of the gate and just say look the damn things going
[TS]
00:52:42
◼
►
to be free because they you know their pricing their there they're competing
[TS]
00:52:48
◼
►
with them on prices on most crazy because they'll do crazy things and they
[TS]
00:52:52
◼
►
have the support from their shareholders to do that to to run the out you know

day for it and I'm like oh my god oh my god is like my favorite expression as
[TS]
00:57:56
◼

far as the Yankees are concerned that this court is actually 63 I just looked
[TS]
00:58:01
◼

at the seventh and Nunez just left to injury I don't know what is going on you
[TS]
00:58:07

[TS]
00:58:12
◼

watched what I ate lunch and then it happened after that but I saw an update
[TS]
00:58:16
◼

that he'd gotten hit by a pitch and was apparently really really riding around
[TS]
00:58:20
◼
►
in pain that's not it
[TS]
00:58:21
◼
►
wow man this is gonna be some year is the first time I can remember since
[TS]
00:58:28
◼
►
sometime maybe in the early nineties where the opening day lineup was filled
[TS]
00:58:34
◼
►
with who the hell is that I have never heard of this guy Travis Hafner I mean
[TS]
00:58:40
◼
►
I've heard of Vernon Wells but I really had to be paying attention even realize
[TS]
00:58:43
◼
►
the Yankees signed them they only had three guys on the opening day lineup
[TS]
00:58:47
◼
►
from the year before whereas for the last fifteen sixteen years they've
[TS]
00:58:52
◼
►
they've really had you know a lot of continuity from season to season I don't
[TS]
00:58:59
◼
►
know it's either going to be a brutal year to be real brutal I mean just just
[TS]
00:59:04
◼
►
really horrible or some of these young guys in the new guys are gonna step up
[TS]
00:59:09
◼
►
and it's going to be kind of awesome because
[TS]
00:59:11
◼
►
might be reinvigorating to get some new blood under the lineup if if taken you
[TS]
00:59:16
◼
►
know a first-place baseball you know let's hope so I'm keeping my fingers
[TS]
00:59:24
◼
►
crossed let's see what happens but let's get back to 20 min kid and blank and
[TS]
00:59:35
◼
►
sure about that I still think I i you know i said im still scarred from 1995
[TS]
00:59:40
◼
►
when the blank tag was hooked up in netscape so I don't know how much you if
[TS]
00:59:45
◼
►
that's an odd to that or or if it's something else I guess it's supposed to
[TS]
00:59:49
◼
►
be about how fast it is I mean that's there but they they say is there a mean
[TS]
00:59:53
◼
►
an end admittedly chrome is a very very fast browser may be the fastest of the
[TS]
00:59:57
◼
►
major browsers you know I'm not sure if it's if it's also supposed to be like a
[TS]
01:00:03
◼
►
wink wink nudge nudge to the blank text you know I don't know what the name is I
[TS]
01:00:10
◼
►
bet you most of those kids don't even know the blink tank they may have not
[TS]
01:00:14
◼
►
even remembered you know what that might be
[TS]
01:00:17
◼
►
said the politics of this whole situation is pretty interesting that
[TS]
01:00:23
◼
►
posed by Rob I sacked from a different approach based in using it was pretty
[TS]
01:00:29
◼
►
fun to read actually he did a buncha to English translation on and FAQ
[TS]
01:00:37
◼
►
unblinking which is pretty awesome to be yeah and he took a very this is
[TS]
01:00:42
◼
►
political we're trying to screw up all sort of stance to it I'm not sure that
[TS]
01:00:45
◼
►
that's true and I'm not one I think my reputation of 12 sort of by the fault
[TS]
01:00:51
◼
►
you know to to be 12 to think that out there that Google is a bit more scheming
[TS]
01:00:56
◼
►
and less open and less or more disingenuous than than people give them
[TS]
01:01:01
◼
►
credit for but I'm not sure that's the case here I really don't I really don't
[TS]
01:01:05
◼
►
know what to make of this I looked a little bit of truth that there's
[TS]
01:01:11
◼
►
politics involved and I think there is a truth that have killed has become a
[TS]
01:01:16
◼
►
little bit you know big included I guess I mean if that's the right way to
[TS]
01:01:21
◼
►
describe it
[TS]
01:01:22
◼
►
so well or at least the the from from their perspective is the developers of
[TS]
01:01:28
◼
►
WebKit it has gotten bloated right and I think that's the argument that I forget
[TS]
01:01:33
◼
►
his name but one of the chrome developers made was that it's just got
[TS]
01:01:36
◼
►
all of these build targets for platforms that crime doesn't care about so why are
[TS]
01:01:41
◼
►
they there stock making sure that all of their changes don't cause problems on
[TS]
01:01:47
◼
►
all of these other platforms that uses WebKit that Chrome doesn't care about
[TS]
01:01:50
◼
►
because chrome only runs on Mac Windows iOS and Android right so why do they
[TS]
01:01:56
◼
►
care if it causes a problem on the Nokia phone or something like that or you know
[TS]
01:02:01
◼
►
blackberry you know why are they developing fixing bugs that they don't
[TS]
01:02:06
◼
►
care about right I totally see their standpoint on this I think you'll be
[TS]
01:02:12
◼
►
I've also heard and I don't know if you've heard something similar that that
[TS]
01:02:18
◼
►
Apple is working on their own
[TS]
01:02:21
◼
►
you know which town on webcam and whatnot so you know what I did hear
[TS]
01:02:29
◼
►
something like that and then again I don't what I heard some of these
[TS]
01:02:33
◼
►
something something about maybe a new web rendering engine from Apple I don't
[TS]
01:02:38
◼
►
think when when I hear new web rendering engine I don't think brand-new although
[TS]
01:02:42
◼
►
that is what what Mozilla and Samsung are currently working on I think it's
[TS]
01:02:46
◼
►
another you know it's it's starting with WebKit and doing something new with it
[TS]
01:02:51
◼
►
you know and I do think that's the one thing that people aren't clear about a
[TS]
01:02:54
◼
►
lot of people aren't clear about with blank is that blank is not like a brand
[TS]
01:02:57
◼
►
new web rendering engine from Google and they're walking away from WebKit blank
[TS]
01:03:02
◼
►
is Google saying we're taking a fork of WebKit as it stands today and making our
[TS]
01:03:08
◼
►
own new thing blank starting with it in the same way that WebKit didn't start
[TS]
01:03:13
◼
►
from scratch it started with look we're going to take a HTML and make this thing
[TS]
01:03:17
◼
►
called WebKit from it you know i think that that that translation from
[TS]
01:03:25
◼
►
Isaac that you talk to he he he seemed to meet soon be under the impression
[TS]
01:03:30
◼
►
that they're talking up a new brand new web engine in blank but that's not what
[TS]
01:03:35
◼
►
get it could be in the future look there they have a lot invested in in in in
[TS]
01:03:48
◼
►
Chrome Chrome OS and the Chrome browsers made perfect sense for them to do what
[TS]
01:03:54
◼
►
they need to do to make that investment pay off property well I mean look like
[TS]
01:04:01
◼
►
just teasing big companies with big businesses right I wouldn't put it past
[TS]
01:04:07
◼
►
them to do it and and and and you know I would just say yes I as a user of the
[TS]
01:04:16
◼
►
band web services this is going to be a little bit painful and not right but I
[TS]
01:04:23
◼
►
guess you know what happens next is still to be seen right I don't know if
[TS]
01:04:30
◼
►
it's going to be painful I i I don't think it's a different I think the way
[TS]
01:04:34
◼
►
that these browser wars go today is very different from those of the late
[TS]
01:04:42
◼
►
nineties where it really was so hard then to have even moderately complicated
[TS]
01:04:50
◼
►
web app that worked in all the major browsers and on Mac and Windows who
[TS]
01:04:56
◼
►
really was almost like you had to rewrite it each time for each one and
[TS]
01:05:01
◼
►
detected one and then when somebody else came out with a new browser it didn't
[TS]
01:05:04
◼
►
work at all because it wasn't one of the browsers you actually sniffed for an
[TS]
01:05:08
◼
►
explicitly serve the custom code for I don't think that we're seeing that
[TS]
01:05:12
◼
►
anymore I feel like you know I feel like there's this baseline of html5 I feel
[TS]
01:05:17
◼
►
like html5 standards thing has been so successful that that's a really it's a
[TS]
01:05:24
◼
►
pretty consistent baseline that developers can head and even iE does a
[TS]
01:05:28
◼
►
pretty good job with it nowadays I think it's more about what's coming
[TS]
01:05:34
◼
►
next the next stuff like it's not that the stuff that we already have like how
[TS]
01:05:39
◼
►
does the css3 roddy using render and what's the spacing and stuff like that I
[TS]
01:05:45
◼
►
think it's about stuff like for Google might be about like what they call it an
[TS]
01:05:50
◼
►
native client which is just you know hasn't really taken off yet but I know a
[TS]
01:05:56
◼
►
lot of people who really keenly think that it might be a big new things coming
[TS]
01:06:01
◼
►
but it's his way to get native code code that runs as fast as native compiled
[TS]
01:06:07
◼
►
code running in the browser but with all the security advantages of a browser
[TS]
01:06:13
◼
►
where it's all sandbox from your actual computer so you're getting you know you
[TS]
01:06:17
◼
►
can have a game that runs through chrome with native performance not JavaScript
[TS]
01:06:23
◼
►
performance not let's make JavaScript faster but actual native performance and
[TS]
01:06:27
◼
►
and you know looking up to the the graphics processor on the computer and
[TS]
01:06:36
◼
►
getting you know OpenGL and stuff like that but with the luck you don't have to
[TS]
01:06:43
◼
►
install anything you just go to this URL and the native code loads just like you
[TS]
01:06:47
◼
►
go to a website so getting that big day into their web rendering engine at the
[TS]
01:06:53
◼
►
at the whatever later they see as the best fit is a huge win for Google I
[TS]
01:06:59
◼
►
think as opposed to trying to get a ball to allow them to put it in the webcam
[TS]
01:07:03
◼
►
which i think was gonna happen whether ads for politics or whether you know has
[TS]
01:07:08
◼
►
good reasons for that you don't even have to do not have to agree what the
[TS]
01:07:12
◼
►
reason was it's just probably wasn't gonna happen as long as Apple was in
[TS]
01:07:15
◼
►
charge of WebKit maybe Apple wants to do their own version of tax rate that's
[TS]
01:07:21
◼
►
pretty likely to very well could be I definitely think so and you know and
[TS]
01:07:26
◼
►
Apple that's one of those ways that Apple and Google are different is that
[TS]
01:07:29
◼
►
culturally at Google will talk about what it's doing first and then ship it
[TS]
01:07:35
◼
►
you know did Google glass another example right been talking about it for
[TS]
01:07:38
◼
►
a while been showing it for a while having a preview
[TS]
01:07:41
◼
►
you know how does stuff is they keep it secret secret secret secret ok now it's
[TS]
01:07:45
◼
►
for sale next week and that's the same way it was with WebKit and call it a
[TS]
01:07:53
◼
►
multiprocessing model where the rendering engine is separate from the
[TS]
01:07:57
◼
►
browser application both for security and hopefully for performance but you
[TS]
01:08:02
◼
►
know so far in Safari think it's worked out that way for performance but prone
[TS]
01:08:08
◼
►
has this multi-process rendering model where each tab you open get a separate
[TS]
01:08:14
◼
►
process called a webcam render that just renders that tab Safari has one separate
[TS]
01:08:21
◼
►
process that renders all of your tabs but it is still a separate process from
[TS]
01:08:26
◼
►
the actual Safari browser application but it's two totally different ways of
[TS]
01:08:30
◼
►
doing it and you know that's is one of the points of conflict between Google
[TS]
01:08:36
◼
►
and Apple in WebKit over the last few years somebody really needs to write an
[TS]
01:08:42
◼
►
explainer for human beings like it really means for people I'm trying to
[TS]
01:08:48
◼
►
figure out you know what this really means and lake and it's like really hard
[TS]
01:08:53
◼
►
to understand why I it's very hard for me to understand that I've been as close
[TS]
01:08:57
◼
►
to this office
[TS]
01:08:59
◼
►
you know as I could be for all along I mean all the way from Mike 1995 but it's
[TS]
01:09:04
◼
►
really really hard I think it's you know web rendering engines have become so
[TS]
01:09:08
◼
►
sprawling in scope and so important to everybody in daily use that it's it's
[TS]
01:09:14
◼
►
almost hard to get your head wrapped around everything that they do know
[TS]
01:09:19
◼
►
before we start talking about this stuff and I ask you one question you can ask
[TS]
01:09:26
◼
►
me anything what does Apple do next in your opinion
[TS]
01:09:32
◼
►
overall or just with the web rendering engines know would like
[TS]
01:09:36
◼
►
product big picture
[TS]
01:09:41
◼
►
I I think they just keep going as they've been going i think you know new
[TS]
01:09:48
◼
►
iPhone 5 pounds and who knows what else but I don't know that they need to do
[TS]
01:09:55
◼
►
much else I think that you know hardware wise their their their machine has been
[TS]
01:09:59
◼
►
working in a machine meaning that the whole operation has been working just
[TS]
01:10:03
◼
►
terrific I think year after year coming out significant improvement
[TS]
01:10:08
◼
►
you know I think it's like we said half an hour ago I think it's the cloud
[TS]
01:10:12
◼
►
services is the big can they do it do you think they need to change a little
[TS]
01:10:18
◼
►
bit how they work as a company I mean you know the the the the privacy they
[TS]
01:10:24
◼

worked with in the past may have worked in the era of Steve Jobs venues to
[TS]
01:10:29
◼
►
storyteller of the company RD the need to change their tactics you know I was
[TS]
01:10:34
◼
►
thinking about this earlier in the show and say it but I do think that one of
[TS]
01:10:38
◼
►
the areas where maybe they really might need to change is with the cloud
[TS]
01:10:42
◼
►
services I think that they need to iterate faster I think that this

schedule of you will tell you what we've been up to at WWDC and then you'll hear

►
some people are that they don't talk about her they don't release a phone
[TS]
01:11:05
◼
►
every three months or that they don't talk about new phone six months in
[TS]
01:11:08
◼
►
advance you know because people just are dying to know that it does work for them
[TS]
01:11:12
◼
►
to keep the hardware secret until they're ready it sort of works for them
[TS]
01:11:17
◼
►
with the system software because they can unveil it at something like WWDC is
[TS]
01:11:22
◼
►
a beta to get developers on board to three months in advance but they get to
[TS]
01:11:28
◼
►
unveil it a show and get a lot of publicity
[TS]
01:11:31
◼
►
but I think with the cloud stuff like you said Facebook is saying that they're
[TS]
01:11:35
◼
►
going to be updating Facebook com on a monthly schedule right I feel like with
[TS]
01:11:42
◼
►
iCloud stuff waiting a year between updates to iCloud it's just doesn't work
[TS]
01:11:50
◼
►
and it doesn't work for developers and it doesn't work for users right I feel
[TS]
01:11:55
◼
►
like and this Court data syncing thing is is the epitome of this problem
[TS]
01:12:03
◼
►
because it's not just that they haven't fixed it it's that developers don't even
[TS]
01:12:09
◼
►
know if they're going to fix it right does Apple actually even have his Apple
[TS]
01:12:13
◼
►
taking this as seriously as the developers who are depending upon it
[TS]
01:12:17
◼
►
hope that they are nobody knows right so if you're this developer if you're
[TS]
01:12:21
◼
►
developing an app for the iOS or something like that in your apt depends
[TS]
01:12:26
◼
►
on core data and you're you're hoping the user you're trying to tease you've
[TS]
01:12:30
◼
►
actually got it in the store and supposed to be using Core Data Sync
[TS]
01:12:33
◼
►
complete your users are running into these bugs that are like wiping out
[TS]
01:12:37
◼
►
their whole library on the iPhone and then you know hopefully when it syncs to
[TS]
01:12:42
◼
►
whatever is an iCloud version is what they had before and if not they've lost
[TS]
01:12:46
◼
►
data and you don't know is Apple taking this seriously and you should wait wait
[TS]
01:12:53
◼
►
for WWDC because there's good news coming but if you don't know if you just
[TS]
01:12:57
◼
►
you you asking you get nothing back what is that what should you do
[TS]
01:13:02
◼
►
should you wait anyway or should you decide I'm gonna bite the bullet and
[TS]
01:13:05
◼
►
rewrite the whole thing from scratch in use something else and I feel like that
[TS]
01:13:09
◼
►
uncertainty is worse it's like they're the worst situation that the developers
[TS]
01:13:13
◼
►
could be in terms of where Apple should go I feel like with the iCloud stuff
[TS]
01:13:19
◼
►
that developers are relying on I really feel like open maybe isn't the right
[TS]
01:13:24
◼
►
word but they just need to iterate more quickly in terms of
[TS]
01:13:28
◼
►
updates and in terms of conveying to developers where this is going right I
[TS]
01:13:34
◼
►
think that would be a good change if they made I would be in favor of
[TS]
01:13:39
◼
►
something like that would be fun to see them kind of adopted this new world in a
[TS]
01:13:46
◼
►
different way
[TS]
01:13:48
◼
►
here's another way to put it there's an old adage especially from the open
[TS]
01:13:52
◼
►
source world to ship early and often and apples never been a ship early and often
[TS]
01:13:56
◼
►
company Apple has been a work on it and keep it and do the do the often part do
[TS]
01:14:02
◼
►
the inter a part but do it all internally and wait till it's ready and
[TS]
01:14:05
◼
►
then ship I feel like with iCloud they did ship early right they they unveiled
[TS]
01:14:11
◼
►
iCloud as early as they possibly could and some of the stuff like I said the
[TS]
01:14:16
◼
►
key value storage stuff works great I think the backup stuff has worked great
[TS]
01:14:20
◼
►
and I think it was worth the core data stuff obviously hasn't they did the
[TS]
01:14:24
◼
►
early part but they haven't done the often part and I feel like they go
[TS]
01:14:27
◼
►
together
[TS]
01:14:28
◼
►
you suffer if you do the early without the often see how they change and their
[TS]
01:14:36
◼
►
damn so what do you think Apple is going to do what do you think the rest of the
[TS]
01:14:40
◼
►
year for Apple's show I I'm not a big believer in the iraqis thousand number
[TS]
01:14:48
◼
►
one I don't think they should be even bothering with stuff like that I do
[TS]
01:14:53
◼
►
believe that they will do something you will vary they will make available
[TS]
01:14:58
◼
►
computer whether it's for health reasons are it's a sensor device which uses your
[TS]
01:15:05
◼
►
iPhone to do interesting things that would be my number one prediction that
[TS]
01:15:11
◼
►
tied to something they will release not the iraqis and the number two I think
[TS]
01:15:15
◼
►
they they will do and they are probably thinking about is like how do they
[TS]
01:15:23
◼
►
create a more experienced inside of violence like how to make all these
[TS]
01:15:33
◼
►
applications in a talk to each other
[TS]
01:15:37
◼
►
and and make the interest rates more useful and more contextual sorry I like
[TS]
01:15:42
◼
►
how they started off with the notifications and become with
[TS]
01:15:46
◼
►
notification type functionality becoming more center stage that is something
[TS]
01:15:52
◼
►
there I I hope they're working on they should be working on and thinking about
[TS]
01:15:58
◼
►
I think that would be my prediction for next 12 to 18 months that is the
[TS]
01:16:04
◼
►
direction those two things I would love for WWDC I would love for the major
[TS]
01:16:11
◼
►
announcements to be significant improvements to iCloud and maybe even
[TS]
01:16:16
◼
►
secondarily and in her application communication writer in her application
[TS]
01:16:21
◼
►
communication and I really do hope that that's what they're been working on and
[TS]
01:16:28
◼
►
I really do hope that the things we saw last year with the little tweet sheets
[TS]
01:16:33
◼
►
in the Facebook status update sheets are examples of what they were
[TS]
01:16:40
◼
►
are working on a way to open up to third party developers write that they made to
[TS]
01:16:46
◼
►
these two ones that they're gonna bake into the system but that hopefully I
[TS]
01:16:52
◼
►
would love it and I S seven if something like that could anybody could have it so
[TS]
01:16:56
◼
►
like Marco Arment could have a send it into the paper sheet that any app if you
[TS]
01:17:02
◼
►
have Instapaper installed when you hit the share button to send Instapaper
[TS]
01:17:06
◼
►
thing automatically shows up and then the URL that the app has wear whatever
[TS]
01:17:12
◼
►
happened to Twitter client or email app or anything you hit this share their
[TS]
01:17:19
◼
►
send Instapaper and Marco designed sheet drops down you don't switch to the apt
[TS]
01:17:24
◼
►
this she drops down right in the app and lets you you know set which folder it's
[TS]
01:17:29
◼
►
going to incite a title for something like that and send it and I i that sort
[TS]
01:17:37
◼
►
of integration I think it's almost limitless what what did that things
[TS]
01:17:41
◼
►
could be and it's you know definitely an area where there behind both Android and
[TS]
01:17:47
◼
►
goes from seven which have things like that
[TS]
01:17:50
◼
►
yeah and you know last point of our enemy John I think people who write
[TS]
01:17:58
◼
►
about and I think their job has become much tougher in the post Steve Jobs
[TS]
01:18:06
◼
►
Marty kaan competition landscape because not everything Apple is going to do is
[TS]
01:18:13
◼
►
going to be great and I think you deserve a good for us to do think about
[TS]
01:18:19
◼
►
diet and meet them constantly think about what they're doing wrong I think
[TS]
01:18:24
◼
►
it's like a hard thing to do but like I think the blogging community doesn't
[TS]
01:18:27
◼
►
talk much about the things they not doing well and often so I wish they
[TS]
01:18:33
◼
►
would you know I think it's something which you know I think about a lot like
[TS]
01:18:39
◼
►
i think is important to kind of remind them that they need to be thinking about
[TS]
01:18:43
◼
►
the internet they need to be thinking about you know dan I they need to be
[TS]
01:18:47
◼
►
thinking about how to build you know these new connected experiences and and
[TS]
01:18:54
◼
►
I wish you know it would be good to have a more deeper dialogue with the company
[TS]
01:19:01
◼
►

[TS]
01:19:04
◼
►
yeah that's my wishlist right leg I mean I'm not place not like I think about the
[TS]
01:19:12
◼
►
world in that sort of way so i guess im thinking in in in in in with those
[TS]
01:19:18
◼
►
parameters right now about everything it's you know it's funny because we just
[TS]
01:19:24
◼

this past week had the three year anniversary of when the original iPad
[TS]
01:19:27
◼
►
shipped and you know it just seems like crazy that it was only three years ago
[TS]
01:19:33
◼
►
because it I can't I really can't even imagine what it was like going on an
[TS]
01:19:37
◼
►
airplane and not seeing everybody holding an iPad 1 shape or another
[TS]
01:19:41
◼
►
and the people who are don't have an iPad have you know some kind of iPad
[TS]
01:19:45
◼
►
knockoff it seems crazy but on the other hand here we are three years in and it
[TS]
01:19:52
◼
►
still is so hard to send something from one app to another other than just copy
[TS]
01:19:58
◼
►
and paste witches you know it doesn't work for some things I feel like there's
[TS]
01:20:04
◼
►
an under appreciation for the amount of work people actually want to do I'm
[TS]
01:20:08
◼
►
saying from Apple's perspective the work that people want to do but that requires
[TS]
01:20:13
◼
►
more integration between different applications you know that work on
[TS]
01:20:21
◼
►
computers is no longer you know they came right from day one they had the
[TS]
01:20:24
◼
►
numbers spreadsheet right but how many people really spend a man knows some
[TS]
01:20:27
◼
►
people do but most people I know don't really sit down and spent hours working
[TS]
01:20:31
◼
►
on spreadsheets anymore that's like twenty years ago people don't just open
[TS]
01:20:35
◼
►
your iPad work on a spreadsheet it's this sort of back and forth interplay
[TS]
01:20:40
◼
►
between applications and data that keeps coming in over the internet right now it
[TS]
01:20:48
◼
►
is a lot of things going on right now I think even as even as I said today and I
[TS]
01:20:58
◼
►
think about you know what does the weather look like man going forward like
[TS]
01:21:04
◼
►
it's so hard to even project today like you know five years ago
[TS]
01:21:11
◼
►
2007 when the iPhone came he was fairly easy to see actually draw
[TS]
01:21:19
◼
►
linear content conclusion as to where the mobile world was gonna go right like
[TS]
01:21:24
◼
►
this is where everybody was gonna copy that design and that user experience and
[TS]
01:21:30
◼
►
and now suddenly it's not as clear like the whole world either seems to be
[TS]
01:21:35
◼
►
moving forward at a much more rapid speed art at the end at the same time
[TS]
01:21:41
◼
►
it's stuck in the same place so just like a really hard time to figure out
[TS]
01:21:45
◼
►
what's going on in technology I agree and it's you know that the three year
[TS]
01:21:50
◼
►
anniversary of
[TS]
01:21:51
◼
►
the iPad makes for a nice halfway point for the distance from the iPhone right
[TS]
01:21:58
◼
►
so the iPad came three years after the iPhone so when the iPad shipped three
[TS]
01:22:02
◼
►
years ago the iPhone was isn't still is new then as the iPad is today that makes
[TS]
01:22:07
◼
►
six years ago was the iPhone three years and we had the iPad now for another
[TS]
01:22:12
◼
►
three years later and the iPhone is certainly and and certainly iphone-like
[TS]
01:22:17
◼
►
phones are there just that's just the baseline we just we just assume that now
[TS]
01:22:22
◼
►
right I do feel like a very interesting juncture as to where we go next to keep
[TS]
01:22:30
◼
►

[TS]
01:22:33
