whiskas very very good designer but let's face it was chris is now 70 is an
[TS]
00:04:42
◼

unfair comparison yeah it really is amazing I mean davis supra towns it and
[TS]
00:04:48
◼
►
dave is the one who I worked with the most like I had the most interaction
[TS]
00:04:52
◼
►
like it is a funny thing with the three-man team but Dave ended up being
[TS]
00:04:57
◼
►
sort of the hub where David I would go back and forth on design and I mean
[TS]
00:05:04
◼
►
literally I'll bet we have tens of thousands of instant messages since
[TS]
00:05:08
◼
►
December started I mean I figure out a way to write a script till I go through
[TS]
00:05:13
◼
►
this message logs and counting but I mean thousands of messages and then we'd
[TS]
00:05:20
◼
►
settle on something and David be the one who would give it to brand in a form
[TS]
00:05:25
◼
►
that this is what we wanted to make this is what it should look like but you know
[TS]
00:05:32
◼
►
I had interactions with friends you know we were using the glass board internally
[TS]
00:05:37
◼

[TS]
00:05:42
◼

what you think it might be like like things he'll you know you like look we
[TS]
00:05:49
◼
►
want you to change this to be like this and he'd be like alright it's going to
[TS]
00:05:52
◼

00:05:57
◼
►
know what I was stupid the blah blah blah I never used it before I never
[TS]
00:06:02
◼
►
looked at it but it was really easy to hook up and now use works
[TS]
00:06:08
◼
►
must be nice to be able to do that I have made a number of false starts at
[TS]
00:06:17
◼
►
like trying to learn how to program just anything really and I always in a while
[TS]
00:06:22
◼
►
but I dreamed it would be nice to be able to have that facility
[TS]
00:06:28
◼
►
me too and and I'll tell you what it's like with having brand and and and Dave
[TS]
00:06:33
◼
►
combined really for me it's like I used to use member the real basic yeah yeah I
[TS]
00:06:40
◼
►
around but it's sort of shifted in terms of its focus but we're back in when it
[TS]
00:06:45
◼
►
first came out it was Matt Connolly it was really great for someone like me who
[TS]
00:06:52
◼
►
can program but is not really good at programming and it sort of does all the
[TS]
00:06:57
◼
►
scaffolding for you and you can just sort of put a button and a thing and
[TS]
00:07:00
◼
►
drive around and look right and then click on the button so here's the code
[TS]
00:07:04
◼
►
that the button should run it was all our hyper card for people who are older
[TS]
00:07:06
◼
►
no longer memories a lot like that yeah and I i every so often during fireball
[TS]
00:07:12
◼
►
over the years i've i've you know
[TS]
00:07:14
◼
►
owned the lack of for lack of a better 60 modern hard right now something for
[TS]
00:07:20
◼
►
iPhone or iPad r you could you know drag stuff around and sort of wouldn't be a
[TS]
00:07:24
◼
►
replacement for Xcode it would be sort of higher-level Xcode four you know West
[TS]
00:07:31
◼
►
talented people I know how to say i dont no means well but like the difference
[TS]
00:07:38
◼
►
between iPhoto and Lightroom or Aperture right like you know that's not for pros
[TS]
00:07:45
◼
►
and if you are approached you're taking professional caliber photography you're
[TS]
00:07:49
◼
►
not gonna use iPhoto to you know take out the red eye you're going to use
[TS]
00:07:53
◼
►
Photoshop and Lightroom
[TS]
00:07:56
◼
►
the equivalent of that program will working with Brenton dave is like having
[TS]
00:08:00
◼
►
that except from Mike hundred years in the future where you just talk to the
[TS]
00:08:06
◼
►
thing and it's like it's like no I here's the idea I think that when you
[TS]
00:08:11
◼
►
slide the hamburger bun over to get to the sidebar there should be like this
[TS]
00:08:16
◼
►
parallax effect on the sidebars it drags on
[TS]
00:08:21
◼
►
instead of just being there it would kind of and and 10 minutes later it's
[TS]
00:08:25
◼
►
like I just do a pull from the source get the mercurial source could do a
[TS]
00:08:30
◼

00:15:59
◼
►
many I don't want them anymore

00:16:00
◼
►
something better if it's gonna be on my desktop something's going too fast for
[TS]
00:16:04
◼
►
years to come
[TS]
00:16:05
◼
►
yeah it does seem more though that it really is a prose more of a pro machine
[TS]
00:16:12
◼
►
then used to be even much more than a MacBook Pro is the laptop seems like
[TS]
00:16:23
◼
►
more people get it then just really professionals right where I was only
[TS]
00:16:28
◼
►
professionals are really interested in the Mac Pro these days it used to be
[TS]
00:16:31
◼
►
that it was not an uncommon thing to get a machine that you wanted to use for
[TS]
00:16:36
◼
►
gaming or whatever and you would upgrade it to you wanted something that you can
[TS]
00:16:40
◼
►
upgrade all the parts inside right now the prices have come down to the point
[TS]
00:16:44
◼
►
where it's just like you just buy a new one every few years keep up that way cuz
[TS]
00:16:50
◼
►
I always ran into this problem I I haven't had a pro since my last one was
[TS]
00:16:54
◼
►
1999 sought to ends I used it for years and kept upgrading components on the
[TS]
00:17:01
◼
►
inside but then eventually you run into the problem where there are hardy
[TS]
00:17:05
◼
►
peripheral makers mark support adding cards right they only want you know if
[TS]
00:17:12
◼
►
your night if you're not playing you're playing it the device into an Apple
[TS]
00:17:17
◼
►
supplied USB three-card they're not going to help you write so if you put a
[TS]
00:17:24
◼
►
PCI PCI
[TS]
00:17:26
◼
►
third-party PCI card that gives your older Mac USB 3 o'clock sound so worth
[TS]
00:17:36
◼
►
it anymore
[TS]
00:17:37
◼
►
know and it sounds like from the rumors that what they're going to do if they
[TS]
00:17:42
◼
►
really do have macros who announces that they're gonna change from internal you
[TS]
00:17:46
◼
►
know so gonna be upgradeable ma'am but it's gonna be all about the Thunderball
[TS]
00:17:51
◼
►
Thunderbolt Thunderbolt and it's gonna be so I think I can only assume if its
[TS]
00:17:59
◼
►
external rather than internal therefore the actual Mac Pro therefore it shrink
[TS]
00:18:04
◼
►
in size tremendously yeah and then you'll just you know connect whatever
[TS]
00:18:09
◼
►
external stuff you need through Thunderbolt yeah interesting it would be
[TS]
00:18:17
◼
►
I mean I guess that's possible I guess I should have brought his eyes are
[TS]
00:18:23
◼
►
arguments he's probably likes to having a stroke as he listens to what would it
[TS]
00:18:29
◼
►
be possible to have an external video card I guess so I guess that's the whole
[TS]
00:18:32
◼
►
point right like if you wanted to add an extra video card to add another algor
[TS]
00:18:37
◼
►
style 30 inch display your desk you do you have some kind of external seems
[TS]
00:18:44
◼
►
crazy yeah but I think that's the gist of the expectations that Mac Pro
[TS]
00:18:51
◼
►

00:22:18

multiple teams that never had more than one thing and I guess the other ones
[TS]
00:22:23
◼

certainly be a big drop out of nowhere i mean it wouldn't be shocking no but it's
[TS]
00:23:46
◼
►
just it just seems like that sort of thing if it were coming
[TS]
00:23:51
◼
►
would be braced for it and I do think that the the thing Tim Cook said it was
[TS]
00:23:58
◼
►
a deal of and I think that was the only place he really tough spot but where he
[TS]
00:24:01
◼
►
said you know we've got great stuff in a line later in the year and next year I

00:24:09
◼
►
you know and Mac doesn't even count anymore
[TS]
00:24:13
◼
►

expandable it is at a great price and it looks cool that does nothing to Apple's
[TS]
00:24:39
◼
►
stock and it does nothing it shouldn't actually that's what is one case is
[TS]
00:24:43
◼
►
gonna complain cuz I think you know the most possible Mac Pros they would sell
[TS]
00:24:46
◼
►
at the best price with great margins and amazing product is almost negligible to
[TS]
00:24:53
◼
►
their bottom that's why Tim Cook I think has to sort of say that he can't they
[TS]
00:25:01
◼
►
can't oversell the Mac Pro is being like important product yeah it seems like the
[TS]
00:25:08
◼

Mac liners

00:25:13
◼
►

[TS]
00:26:24
◼
►
showing exactly as they wanted to galaxy s4 to sell it seemed like it was
[TS]
00:26:29
◼
►
something fairly well but at the same time I think some of the analysts and
[TS]
00:26:33
◼
►
all the stuff is about Wall Street expectations and what they had expected
[TS]
00:26:36
◼
►

[TS]
00:26:42

don't know and who knows if they're right
[TS]
00:26:49

00:30:32
◼

great great stuff so Apple TV next week but that would be a good surprise that
[TS]
00:30:38
◼
►
would be exciting
[TS]
00:30:39
◼
►
yeah here's why I think he's wrong unless I think and and guy English and I
[TS]
00:30:47
◼
►
have talked this over you know you know you know deja boo talk about on the show
[TS]
00:30:52
◼
►
I think that he's right that there is an SDK coming for Apple TV and apps and
[TS]
00:30:58
◼
►
that it'll be a third party thing I don't think it's coming to the Apple TV
[TS]
00:31:02
◼
►
that we have today I think it requires next-generation hardware and the reason
[TS]
00:31:09
◼
►
I think that is that I think it requires some sort of next generation remote
[TS]
00:31:14
◼
►
right and the current one just doesn't doesn't have anything
[TS]
00:31:21
◼
►
you could you could do it's it's fine for play pause and you know seek up down
[TS]
00:31:27
◼
►
left right play pause but it's not good for any so so it really wouldn't be good
[TS]
00:31:32
◼
►
for you no absolute did anything more than just deliver video content which
[TS]
00:31:37
◼
►
alone is a big deal I mean let's face it things are TV but I you know I think
[TS]
00:31:42
◼
►
that thing needs games and stuff like that and I think that needs a next
[TS]
00:31:46
◼
►
generation remote and I don't think that the remote can be just use this app on
[TS]
00:31:53
◼
►
your iPhone or iPod iPad or something like that why not cause I think it's
[TS]
00:31:59
◼
►
clumsy I think it's weird to think that you've got a Fisher iPhone out of your
[TS]
00:32:04
◼
►
pocket just 22 do anything on the TV I think you need a remote that sits there
[TS]
00:32:08
◼
►
on your coffee table and it's ready to go and it doesn't cost six or seven
[TS]
00:32:12
◼
►
hundred dollars yeah I mean I guess our iPod touches you know two hundred and
[TS]
00:32:19
◼
►
twenty now that they have the new one but you can't sell $99 set-top box that
[TS]
00:32:24
◼
►
requires a $220 remote doesn't work and I just don't think and how is the right
[TS]
00:32:30
◼
►
thing I don't think has ABS there's other things I think that you know I
[TS]
00:32:37
◼
►
found is all about looking at the screen and touching things right TV is about
[TS]
00:32:41
◼
►
looking not at your remote it's about looking at this screen right you need
[TS]
00:32:46
◼
►
remote that that you don't look at use and the iPhone is not in glasses gives
[TS]
00:32:54
◼
►
you know fortunes for knowing what you're doing it seems weird to think of
[TS]
00:33:00
◼
►
Apple shipping
[TS]
00:33:02
◼
►
a remote with physical keys for gaming yeah I died that is where my imagination
[TS]
00:33:09
◼
►
feels me and maybe maybe I'm wrong maybe I'm all wet and it really is something
[TS]
00:33:14
◼
►
about apps and app that you control it with her or maybe it's like a connected
[TS]
00:33:19
◼
►
type thing and you wave your hand and talk to I don't know why I like the
[TS]
00:33:22
◼
►
imagination to even think about what it is but I just know that I just seems to
[TS]
00:33:27
◼
►
me and i got though I can't imagine what the new thing that I think they have to
[TS]
00:33:32
◼
►
make to make this happen
[TS]
00:33:34
◼
►
is but I do know that the one I have downstairs isn't it right you can't just
[TS]
00:33:39
◼
►
have that little crime in remote and now it's really just the remote it's not
[TS]
00:33:43
◼
►
it's not so much that anything with the device yeah I don't think that in terms
[TS]
00:33:48
◼
►
of you know now that they've got 1080p output and terms of hardware and I don't
[TS]
00:33:54
◼
►
think it needs to be all that computationally although maybe it needs
[TS]
00:33:58
◼
►
better graphics for games you know maybe the you know like I don't think that
[TS]
00:34:01
◼
►
they're obviously not gonna obviously but I think we know how Apple isn't
[TS]
00:34:05
◼
►
going to get any graphics horsepower race with Xbox and Playstation and self
[TS]
00:34:11
◼
►
3 $400 things that are at a loss but more graphics power did you know it's
[TS]
00:34:20
◼
►
always better but I don't know how different it is then you know the right
[TS]
00:34:27
◼
►
now I know I think that these days 687 or whatever the next one's going to be
[TS]
00:34:33
◼
►
you know are already pretty graphically powerful yeah that's the that's sort of
[TS]
00:34:40
◼
►
the dark horse
[TS]
00:34:41
◼
►
what do you think well I don't see me I don't see why they couldn't deliver
[TS]
00:34:46
◼
►
remote next week and the SDK but you know I certainly haven't heard anything
[TS]
00:34:56
◼
►
I guess he was the only one that I noticed talking about it and it just jog
[TS]
00:35:02
◼
►
my memory that what that was something seemed like something that was our list
[TS]
00:35:06
◼
►
of possibilities and then dropped off the radar is it didn't happen for a
[TS]
00:35:12
◼
►
yeah and I guess the other thing that I maybe he's right
[TS]
00:35:17
◼
►
is is i guess the other thing I think my head is it would be weird if they
[TS]
00:35:24
◼
►
announce it and say we have this great new App Store and so you have to buy a
[TS]
00:35:28
◼
►
new Apple TV and all of you guys who've already bought an Apple TV stuff like
[TS]
00:35:34
◼
►
that so hard that I will never does that not not that I will never do you know is
[TS]
00:35:38
◼
►
afraid to give you tough cookies
[TS]
00:35:40
◼
►
news you know lovers of floppy drives but it seems a little I don't know it
[TS]
00:35:48
◼
►
seems like that's a tough thing to why couldn't they just solid remote
[TS]
00:35:51
◼
►
separately and maybe doesn't I guess I you know it comes comes with a new one
[TS]
00:35:57
◼
►
where I and maybe by and you probably mean if you're gonna have who's gonna be
[TS]
00:36:01
◼
►
like Bluetooth Bluetooth yeah that's low power and if it's gonna be like the Wii
[TS]
00:36:09
◼
►
or whatever you probably don't want six of them maybe I don't know yeah I didn't
[TS]
00:36:17
◼
►
I didn't even think about that if you like a combination remote game
[TS]
00:36:20
◼
►
controller you'd want multiple ones you get your Wii U yes that does have that
[TS]
00:36:30
◼
►
has a screen but it actually has physical buttons on the remote yes it's
[TS]
00:36:35
◼
►
a weird thing and I you know I mean Jonas really like to end I'm just by
[TS]
00:36:42
◼
►
coincidence it really is funny our old we crapped out like a couple of days
[TS]
00:36:49
◼
►
before Christmas and so you know we actually needed something I mean I guess
[TS]
00:36:57
◼
►
I could have gotten you we but it's it does seem like the Wii U is not getting
[TS]
00:37:02
◼
►
a lot of games and controllers interesting but it is weird yeah the
[TS]
00:37:07
◼

weirdest thing about it is that it currently only supports one like you can

00:37:13
◼
►

00:42:48
◼

an hour later this year or next year right
[TS]
00:42:52
◼
►
well maybe you know it could be but that's not what he said but I think I
[TS]
00:43:01
◼
►
still think I think that Apple TV strategy is what we see I think it's
[TS]
00:43:07
◼
►
right in front of us it's $99 bucks hook up to any TV that you want and you know
[TS]
00:43:13
◼

there are some interracial interracial right but not not it doesn't seem like
[TS]
00:43:19
◼
►
there's value trying to get in $2,000 huge screens right or you know and I've
[TS]
00:43:29
◼
►
said this before too maybe they would but only as like in addition to a box
[TS]
00:43:36
◼
►
you can put into anybody's TV right that they would still sell the $99 bucks and
[TS]
00:43:42
◼
►
maybe they would also selling Apple branded TV said that has it built him
[TS]
00:43:45
◼
►
but so you can get on the platform and by the absent use your Apple TV with
[TS]
00:43:51
◼
►
your existing TV set and if you're in the market for a new TV said you could
[TS]
00:43:55
◼
►
just buy the Apple one and then
[TS]
00:43:56
◼
►
nice box but I don't think that they would go TV set only because it seems to
[TS]
00:44:01
◼
►
me like they'd be purposefully taking on a very small part of the market which is
[TS]
00:44:05
◼
►
the people in in the market for a new TV so I mean like look at the iPhone right
[TS]
00:44:12
◼
►
the iPhone has been a tremendous hit but people didn't buy them all at once
[TS]
00:44:17
◼
►
people bought them over time as they needed indoor wanted a new cell phone
[TS]
00:44:22
◼
►
right it's a huge hit that Apple doesn't make it it's like i skogen line and buy
[TS]
00:44:27
◼
►
stuff on day one but that's not normal people right normal people but their
[TS]
00:44:31
◼
►
iPhone when they're old iPhone when they're old phone broker they finally
[TS]
00:44:34
◼
►
got fed up with it or just kind of got in the mood or there or especially when
[TS]
00:44:38
◼
►
their contracts contract so I think you know the TV industry had a great decade
[TS]
00:44:45
◼
►
because you know just about everybody I know you know has shifted from big old
[TS]
00:44:52
◼

clunky classy artis to you know nice flat screen plasma or LCD or whatever
[TS]
00:45:00

00:49:01
◼

e-book price-fixing case that's gone to trial and it it's kind of interesting
[TS]
00:49:13
◼
►
I've had a busy week with him so I'm not as as versed on this is I would be in a
[TS]
00:49:19
◼
►
normal but I've been following and and Philip elmer-dewitt has had some good
[TS]
00:49:23
◼
►
coverage as have some others my perspective at the outset of this is
[TS]
00:49:28
◼
►
that that again and then and you know critics of me you know the Pro Apple by
[TS]
00:49:37
◼
►
US I mean like maybe maybe this is a case where they are right because my
[TS]
00:49:40
◼
►
thought going into this is that this seems like bullshit because
[TS]
00:49:46
◼
►
and and I'm not alone scott turow the president of the authors guild months
[TS]
00:49:51
◼
►
ago had an op-ed in the New York Times and saying that you know the authors are
[TS]
00:49:55
◼
►
on Apple's site at this that they were opposed to Amazon which had either
[TS]
00:50:00
◼
►
monopoly or near monopoly on e-books and we're selling books at a loss like you
[TS]
00:50:09
◼
►
know scott turow or anybody big-name novelist comes out with a new novel
[TS]
00:50:12
◼
►
publisher wants the eBook version that $15 so Amazon would buy it for $15 from
[TS]
00:50:18
◼
►
them and sell it for $9.99 and now that's you know from a consumer point
[TS]
00:50:23
◼
►
that's great I can see and I know there's a lot of fans of Amazon for
[TS]
00:50:27
◼
►
doing this because consumers think that's great I don't care of Amazon
[TS]
00:50:30
◼
►
sells a loss I've saved five bucks on a book that's great authors don't like it
[TS]
00:50:36
◼
►
though even though they get paid the wholesale price I want to because what
[TS]
00:50:39
◼
►
they could see is that if Amazon solidified a long-term monopoly then all
[TS]
00:50:45
◼
►
of a sudden Amazon's going to say okay now wholesale cost is $6 because we're
[TS]
00:50:52
◼
►
gonna keep selling $9.99 and now we'd like to have a profit and you know they
[TS]
00:50:56
◼
►
have to act we ask because there's a monopoly and there's no other way to do
[TS]
00:50:59
◼
►
it and so instead of $15 bucks would be $6 books and consumers will be left out
[TS]
00:51:05
◼
►
of it because they'd still be by 9 99 bucks but all of a sudden the the
[TS]
00:51:09
◼
►
revenue generated by these books have been decimated by saying that's exactly
[TS]
00:51:13
◼
►
what would happen but that's the point of view of the authors and publishers of
[TS]
00:51:16
◼
►
Amazon's selling at a loss thing you know and this agency model is a way to
[TS]
00:51:24
◼
►
make sure that publishers can't sell our resellers can sell books and a loss you
[TS]
00:51:31
◼
►
know it's the App Store model that's exactly like the App Store where
[TS]
00:51:34
◼
►
whatever the prices the store gets 30% you know and that's it it's an
[TS]
00:51:43
◼
►
interesting case because there are several ways to look at it because you
[TS]
00:51:48
◼
►
could say was the bad guys they're trying to drive prices up
[TS]
00:51:53
◼
►
same time Amazon price fixing because Apple is trying to get one
[TS]
00:51:58
◼
►
get all these publishers to collude in in fixing the prices of these books and
[TS]
00:52:03
◼
►
at the same time
[TS]
00:52:04
◼
►
Amazon because it's a panoply doesn't have to do collusion and price-fixing at
[TS]
00:52:10
◼
►
just fix the price because it just doesn't itself right that's its power as
[TS]
00:52:16
◼
►
a as a basis it's arguably it's pretty close to monopoly rights there are other
[TS]
00:52:24
◼
►
ways your books but you know and Apple you know and it's not that Apple wanted
[TS]
00:52:29
◼
►
to raise prices it's a terrible wanted to let publishers set prices right so
[TS]
00:52:33
◼
►
like for example with Vesper we chose the price there is no you know we could
[TS]
00:52:38
◼
►
have charged $0.99 we could have charged what was that I'm rich up $999.99 that
[TS]
00:52:47
◼
►
was the maximum price in the App Store
[TS]
00:52:49
◼
►
you know we picked the price and whatever price you know has to be in the
[TS]
00:52:55
◼
►
$0.99 so you know any integer from 0 to 99 999 and then Apple takes 30% off
[TS]
00:53:03
◼
►
every cell and that's it we pick the price why shouldn't book the people who
[TS]
00:53:07
◼
►
make books have that same privilege a right to set the price of their book it
[TS]
00:53:14
◼
►
doesn't seem unreasonable to me or me another way of putting his to me and
[TS]
00:53:23
◼
►
other way of putting it is that Apple's proposal to booksellers is why don't we
[TS]
00:53:28
◼
►
sell e-books like we sell apps you set the price we take 30% and handle the
[TS]
00:53:35
◼
►
distribution in the and you know it so I don't see how that's any more
[TS]
00:53:41
◼
►
price-fixing than its price fixing with the App Store and yet all these
[TS]
00:53:46
◼
►
publishers rolled over I don't think they want to see yeah yeah there's lots
[TS]
00:53:54
◼
►
of reasons why they might but apparently they just didn't want to deal with it
[TS]
00:53:58
◼
►
and they're still they are still have what they wanted which is the agency
[TS]
00:54:02
◼
►
model right that they've sort of giving in to the DOJ but they still have the
[TS]
00:54:06
◼
►
agency model right isn't that how the Kindle
[TS]
00:54:09
◼
►
looks like Amazon on the same page with that now yes yeah so then yesterday this
[TS]
00:54:21

here's a picture from the meeting and vases his house and it was it was the
[TS]
00:55:30
◼

lake house in the godfather to where Michael decides to take care of his
[TS]
00:55:37
◼
►
brother so there's that
[TS]
00:55:45
◼
►
yeah which is very strange and well anyway it's very strange and then today
[TS]
00:55:53
◼
►
there's another story about this is on the verge about Google's testimony they
[TS]
00:56:07
◼
►
basically got the Google
[TS]
00:56:08
◼
►
up on the stand and he initially said that publishers or telling him directly
[TS]
00:56:23
◼
►
at apple sold them directly that they were switching to the agency model
[TS]
00:56:27
◼
►
because contracts entered into with Apple required it and then
[TS]
00:56:33
◼
►
cross-examining he said well i kno who dis and who told you that is all I can
[TS]
00:56:42
◼
►
remember but many said well might have been somebody on my team that they told
[TS]
00:56:46
◼
►
and he basically just admitted that he did not know many instances of telling
[TS]
00:56:53
◼
►
anybody
[TS]
00:56:56
◼
►
completely completely collapse which seems like why would you go in saying
[TS]
00:57:06
◼
►
that if you weren't able to back it up very very strange so I asked about the
[TS]
00:57:13
◼
►
guy them as a guy who wouldn't answer questions I thought I was so bizarre and
[TS]
00:57:17
◼
►
in a way was explained to me is what could have been sort of taking the fifth
[TS]
00:57:22
◼
►
amendment invoking the right not to incriminate yourself and which you
[TS]
00:57:27
◼
►
shouldn't I i do you know it's amazing part of our constitution and I fully
[TS]
00:57:32
◼
►
support it but you know when you invoke it does imply that you know you're
[TS]
00:57:39
◼
►
acknowledging a crime may have been committed you know
[TS]
00:57:44
◼
►
well not necessarily right but it's you know effectively as a hostile witness
[TS]
00:57:50
◼
►
but I guess what the other thing that you know not being the only thing is
[TS]
00:57:55
◼
►
that your obligation when you're on the stand and under oath court case you are
[TS]
00:58:00
◼
►
absolutely a bylaw are you know but serious repercussions you must tell the
[TS]
00:58:06
◼
►
truth but that doesn't mean you have to answer so I see I thought like yes-or-no
[TS]
00:58:11
◼
►
questions you had the answer but you don't they say was Jeff basis there you
[TS]
00:58:15
◼
►
can just say I'm not comfortable answering that that's the truth you're
[TS]
00:58:19
◼
►
not lying but they can't make you answer and you know make of that what you will
[TS]
00:58:26
◼
►
if you're on the jury or the judge so I guess that's a basis was there you can't
[TS]
00:58:31
◼
►
say no that's perjury now you're committed a felony you can refuse to
[TS]
00:58:36
◼
►
answer ID which is kind of just under now I would be so I have to have to
[TS]
00:58:43
◼
►
invoke some kind of law and order to compel you and they would have to crime
[TS]
00:59:00
◼
►
was they will be able to say well if your withholding evidence about what
[TS]
00:59:07
◼
►
happened at this meeting your withholding evidence may have no
[TS]
00:59:13
◼
►
evidence that a crime was committed right rather than the murder of freedom
[TS]
00:59:21
◼
►
we know there was a murder the meeting but other than that we don't know what
[TS]
00:59:27
◼
►
else happened just really seems to me like a bad day and the other thing to it
[TS]
00:59:34
◼
►
by everybody seems to suggest that this case was prompted by Amazon that it was
[TS]
00:59:39
◼
►
Amazon got doj the department Justice to investigate this but it seems as though
[TS]
00:59:47
◼
►
I am is under the exact same thing Apple added they negotiated contracts with the
[TS]
00:59:51
◼
►
publishers with the same terms
[TS]
00:59:54
◼
►
the very strange to me it really seems like a waste of time i can assume that
[TS]
01:00:01
◼
►
Amazon spends a lot of money lobbying I guess it really just seems a lot more
[TS]
01:00:07
◼
►
than ample yeah and that brings back that thing with the you know from a
[TS]
01:00:12
◼
►
couple weeks ago and Tim Cook was down there in front of the senate testify on
[TS]
01:00:15
◼
►
taxes and political had the things I think it's political views the
[TS]
01:00:20
◼
►
Washington examiner's in a bit more or less than the message really is nothing
[TS]
01:00:24
◼

that Apple's taxes it was really a you guys should spend more money on
[TS]
01:00:28

couple of months based business you have your PC or something

01:00:43
◼
►
business and the last thing in the news I think again I'm behind with the best
[TS]
01:00:50
◼
►
but there's this whole let's just call it what it is a shitstorm about the us-
[TS]
01:00:56
◼
►
government now again National Security Agency and and a couple of things
[TS]
01:01:03
◼
►
actually two separate ones that at least two separate things but there are the
[TS]
01:01:08
◼
►
same piece a couple days ago the Guardian got a tremendous coup where
[TS]
01:01:15
◼
►
they found thing that shows that Verizon Wireless in Aus turns over to the NSA
[TS]
01:01:22
◼
►
the phone records of everybody they don't turn over the phone calls
[TS]
01:01:26
◼
►
according to this it's just the records and that the NSA that's the darkest of
[TS]
01:01:33
◼
►
the spook organizations in the us- and when it does all the electronic
[TS]
01:01:38
◼
►
eavesdropping has phone phone records of everybody you know every call you've
[TS]
01:01:44
◼
►
made every cause everybody's made whether you know your everybody so it's
[TS]
01:01:49
◼

not just the just the who called in who they called which is you know it's
[TS]
01:01:57
◼

increase
[TS]
01:01:58
◼

don't think wow that's huge credible I mean you can draw all sorts of
[TS]
01:02:04
◼
►
I went location data all the metadata associated with your cell phone which is
[TS]
01:02:09
◼
►
a lot and I would presume I think it's you know i i dont know that you can't
[TS]
01:02:16
◼
►
even find anybody to take this bet I can only presume that it just so happens
[TS]
01:02:20
◼
►
that the Verizon thing that leaked it doesn't mean that only Verizon's doing
[TS]
01:02:24
◼
►
it if you think AT&T and Sprint and tmobile etc haven't to you know I've got
[TS]
01:02:33
◼
►
a bridge this area and I don't blame the words coming out of my mouth I don't
[TS]
01:02:41
◼
►
blame the carriers like I think this is I think that the Godfather situation I
[TS]
01:02:48
◼
►
think the NSA came to them with an offer they could not refuse and and you know
[TS]
01:02:53
◼
►
you're going to give us everything and you're also not going to tell anybody
[TS]
01:02:58
◼
►
that this is going on and you're going to like it I i think i dont i dont know
[TS]
01:03:04
◼
►
that they had an option I don't think this was like hey would you mind giving
[TS]
01:03:08
◼
►
us all of your cat you know
[TS]
01:03:10
◼
►
customers data and Verizon's like sure well they said that this was they say
[TS]
01:03:16
◼
►
that this was done under the protect America right and that you know probably
[TS]
01:03:20
◼
►
walked in the door waiting the act and saying you have to give us the right and
[TS]
01:03:27
◼
►
I said the act of the law in in addition to st. you know to authorizing them to
[TS]
01:03:32
◼
►
do it also indemnifies the carriers you know that there is no basis for anybody
[TS]
01:03:39
◼
►
to soon Verizon for doing it that the law says they are in the clear and then
[TS]
01:03:45
◼
►
that the next piece is the washington post came out with this thing about this
[TS]
01:03:49
◼
►
thing called prism pris ailments an acronym that all sorts of companies like
[TS]
01:03:58
◼
►
Google Apple Facebook I don't know who else did you name it did the big ones
[TS]
01:04:04
◼
►
are Microsoft YouTube Skype while everybody but Twitter the big ones and
[TS]
01:04:11
◼
►
Dropbox they said dropbox is coming I guess and they also said about how all
[TS]
01:04:16
◼
►
that Apple resisted and that it whether it's a coincidence or not that they they
[TS]
01:04:21
◼
►
got on it after shortly after Steve Jobs
[TS]
01:04:25
◼
►
coming you know you know whether that's just a coincidence that Apple got on
[TS]
01:04:32
◼
►
board after Steve Jobs died or whether jabs personally was was resisting you
[TS]
01:04:37
◼
►
know we don't know but it also is one of those things where it seems like part of
[TS]
01:04:42
◼
►
the deal isn't just that they're giving the data it's also that they are not
[TS]
01:04:46
◼
►
allowed to talk about it and a lot of companies today have issued a statement
[TS]
01:04:51
◼
►
but there's a lot of their not blanket denials they are you know they're saying
[TS]
01:04:57
◼
►
this would have been a good week to buy stock in weasel words yes there's a lot
[TS]
01:05:04
◼
►
of statements that that the NSA that the federal government does not have direct
[TS]
01:05:11
◼
►
access to our servers write that essay doesn't have a box connected to Google
[TS]
01:05:18
◼
►
data centers or Apple data centers or facebook data centers and I've somebody
[TS]
01:05:24
◼
►
on Twitter I think it was so some people talking about one very very easy
[TS]
01:05:30
◼
►
workaround that does not contradict any of these denials from these companies
[TS]
01:05:35
◼
►
would be what do they send a copy of the data to the NSA right they not that the
[TS]
01:05:41
◼
►
NSA has a box it's connected but do these companies have something in place
[TS]
01:05:44
◼
►
where everything gets copied if that's what's going on it
[TS]
01:05:50
◼
►
of the denials would contradicted any interest statement came hours they said
[TS]
01:05:56
◼
►
that they are not targeting US citizens and by reading that well for collecting
[TS]
01:06:10
◼
►
everything we're not targeting US citizens we're just getting it all
[TS]
01:06:17
◼
►
horizon we asked them for all their records they give us all the records and
[TS]
01:06:23
◼
►
we have not targeted USA and then later we do is we going to go in any target
[TS]
01:06:27
◼
►
certain individuals who are of interest and I didn't see Obama's press
[TS]
01:06:41
◼
►
conference today but I read some of the quotes from it and it was really about
[TS]
01:06:47
◼
►
everything that you would expect of really concerned about the but the
[TS]
01:07:00
◼
►
problem yeah I gotta say I'm pretty disappointed I think I am now I've gotta
[TS]
01:07:09
◼
►
agree this is so bad I'm I'm in agreement with my caring honest show
[TS]
01:07:18
◼
►
notes but it's what he says is where they had with the washington post base
[TS]
01:07:26
◼
►
this on was in NSA presentation keynote decker from Microsoft PowerPoint
[TS]
01:07:33
◼
►
probably PowerPoint
[TS]
01:07:35
◼
►
shirts and its stated that the NSA is tapping direct quote this is what the
[TS]
01:07:43
◼
►
presentation said tapping directly into the central servers of nine leading us'
[TS]
01:07:47
◼
►
Internet companies to collect information on users and Arrington says
[TS]
01:07:51
◼
►
on the story one of these must be true
[TS]
01:07:55
◼
►
won the NSA presentation is fake in the washington post due to Microsoft Yahoo
[TS]
01:08:01
◼
►
Google Facebook Apple etc are lying in terms of their denials or three the
[TS]
01:08:09
◼
►
presentation is real and the companies are carefully drafting responses that
[TS]
01:08:13
◼
►
they aren't technically line I believe the third option is now look at this
[TS]
01:08:19
◼
►
woodstock saying we agree with my gang that I think it shows relayed the most
[TS]
01:08:24
◼
►
hurtful part of this really is
[TS]
01:08:26
◼
►
but even more so than have the government having your horizon exactly
[TS]
01:08:31
◼
►
here's the thing but it's it's the editorial board of the New York Times
[TS]
01:08:38
◼
►
passage here it is the administration has now lost all credibility on this
[TS]
01:08:53
◼
►
issue mr. Obama proving the truism that the executive branch will use any power
[TS]
01:08:59
◼
►
it is given in very likely abused it and I couldn't agree more
[TS]
01:09:04
◼
►
yeah there's that the the the the the answer is hey terrorists scary scary
[TS]
01:09:11
◼
►
scary stuff going on up there you should trust us we've got it yeah and you know
[TS]
01:09:15
◼
►
it doesn't fly with me I mean it's terrible thing is it all of the stuff
[TS]
01:09:23
◼
►
was approved by congress right so we'll never just doesn't seem like will ever
[TS]
01:09:29
◼
►
get any rectification of this because the people who were investigated with
[TS]
01:09:35
◼
►
the people who would have approved it and even though Republicans loves to
[TS]
01:09:39
◼
►
investigate you know I'm trying to find fault with the administration they
[TS]
01:09:45
◼
►
probably won't I just don't see them doing about the US guess I guess they
[TS]
01:09:49
◼
►
are knee-deep in it the best chance would be for them to sort of have an
[TS]
01:09:55
◼
►
about-face on this and figure out a way to to to unite their their dislike and
[TS]
01:10:03
◼
►
their abstinence in the you know of anything Obama doesn't make this the
[TS]
01:10:07
◼
►
central part of it would actually be good for the country right you know
[TS]
01:10:11
◼
►
perfect example of that is quote unquote Obamacare the health care legislation
[TS]
01:10:16
◼
►
that Obama pushed through which is actually based on proposals that used to
[TS]
01:10:22
◼
►
come from republicans like back in the nineties when Clinton was president and
[TS]
01:10:27
◼
►
they tried to read everything
[TS]
01:10:29
◼
►
their proposal was far more well let's just say progressive liberal you know
[TS]
01:10:35
◼
►
more like what other people have around the world and the Republican answer
[TS]
01:10:40
◼
►
wasn't you know you can't just say we'll know you know you have to have a
[TS]
01:10:43
◼
►
counter-proposal and their counterproposal which was more based on
[TS]
01:10:47
◼
►
working with the existing insurance companies in etcetera was pretty much
[TS]
01:10:50
◼
►
exactly what Obama carries and it's just that by the time Obama got to they're
[TS]
01:10:54
◼
►
like well know we know we don't want it will they should do that with the case
[TS]
01:10:59
◼
►
right to get behind today should get behind they should do that we're sure
[TS]
01:11:04
◼
►
you were on board with a decade ago just just find some technicality to say well
[TS]
01:11:08
◼
►
but it's different just because and and fight this tooth now get some of this
[TS]
01:11:12
◼
►
stuff dismantled or just say enough is enough enough is enough right even if
[TS]
01:11:19
◼
►
you said that that you know the danger you know the real danger has passed or
[TS]
01:11:23
◼
►
something that we needed to them but we don't need anymore and a big part of it
[TS]
01:11:28
◼
►
to me is at least be transparent about what is going on there was a great
[TS]
01:11:34
◼
►
article I wish I could have looked for it before but there is a great article I
[TS]
01:11:38
◼
►
read a long time ago in Wired magazine from somebody futurist a person who's
[TS]
01:11:44
◼
►
you know specialized thinking about privacy and his stance is very very pro
[TS]
01:11:49
◼
►
privacy but his stance was like on the specific issue of security cameras let's
[TS]
01:11:57
◼
►
say like the one from there that the government installed like municipalities
[TS]
01:12:00
◼
►
like let's say the ones at stoplights
[TS]
01:12:04
◼
►
that if the government is going to have security cameras then everybody should
[TS]
01:12:08
◼
►
be able to access them that if there's a camera at the intersection of 6th and
[TS]
01:12:13
◼
►
spruce anybody should be able to access and so if law enforcement wants to use
[TS]
01:12:18
◼
►
it to see if a crime was committed there they can use it use it as evidence but
[TS]
01:12:24
◼
►
anybody can get it if there's an archive of it then it all has to be publicly
[TS]
01:12:28
◼
►
available
[TS]
01:12:28
◼
►
you know and if you say well no no no everybody shouldn't have it well then
[TS]
01:12:32
◼
►
you should have a camera there right and that you know and and then it goes back
[TS]
01:12:37
◼
►
to the idea that there really you know we shouldn't be thinking of the
[TS]
01:12:40
◼
►
government as a separate entity that the government is us it's you know it's our
[TS]
01:12:45
◼
►
elected officials and it makes it makes a tremendous amount of sense you think
[TS]
01:12:49
◼
►
you know that seems creepy if everybody could just look and see what's going on
[TS]
01:12:53
◼
►
Street intersection well then don't put cameras but if the camera is there
[TS]
01:12:57
◼
►
everybody should have access to it
[TS]
01:13:00
◼
►
everybody should have access to everybody's phone records but if you
[TS]
01:13:05
◼
►
should have access to everybody else is Google glass records that's now that I
[TS]
01:13:09
◼
►
can get behind cuz if there's nothing wrong with Google glass them or if there
[TS]
01:13:21
◼

that they were given offers they could not refuse but we'll see I think you
[TS]
01:15:13
