I have traded to the what he called the Mavericks on this machine that I record
[TS]
00:00:29
◼
►
the show on willfully under informed on average I still have never even seen i
[TS]
00:00:36
◼
►
mean you know besides the keynote I've never even seen it running because
[TS]
00:00:39
◼
►
nobody I see in real life is brave or stupid whatever brave enough to to run
[TS]
00:00:47
◼
►
it on their computer yet and I'm not gonna run it on anything that I need to
[TS]
00:00:51
◼
►
use I like I would normally just like installed on my laptop has normal amount
[TS]
00:00:55
◼
►
of hits my desk closed not being used but never go anywhere but recently I've
[TS]
00:00:59
◼
►
been going places and the last thing I want to do is like blow up my laptop
[TS]
00:01:03
◼
►
with some data like as I'm bring on a trip to work on it I found I found this
[TS]
00:01:09
◼
►
summer that I am and I think it was clear from the last couple versions of
[TS]
00:01:13
◼
►
Mac OS 10 but especially this one where it really coincided with a new version
[TS]
00:01:17
◼
►
of iOS that my attention is it so much more on iOS and Mac OS 10 that it's
[TS]
00:01:24
◼
►
something I'm not interested in marriage but I'm willing to wait and then just
[TS]
00:01:28
◼
►
have circuses teach me everything about it oh yeah and you know the changes in
[TS]
00:01:31
◼
►
our senate so much more of a mature product the changes are so much smaller
[TS]
00:01:34
◼
►
and in the grand scheme of things again day-to-day use what am I really what's
[TS]
00:01:38
◼
►
really going to be different for me if I've read the Mavericks besides it might
[TS]
00:01:41
◼
►
not work as well you know at this point you know once I might even wait until
[TS]
00:01:46
◼
►
point one just because they're I don't really have any motivation to update
[TS]
00:01:50
◼
►
update to it also you know I have always felt you mean you know you famously have
[TS]
00:01:55
◼
►
never let me forget about how install iOS 5 beta born in California on my foot
[TS]
00:02:01
◼
►
two hours after the keynote at the kind of thing I think every iOS developer
[TS]
00:02:06
◼
►
doesn't wants so you know with iOS I always felt even though this device is
[TS]
00:02:11
◼
►
always on me and it has to do things that are I guess someone important like
[TS]
00:02:16
◼
►
phone calls I don't know phone calls aren't that important in my life but
[TS]
00:02:18
◼
►
supposedly this supposed to be important
[TS]
00:02:21
◼
►
always kind of felt like I was safe to mess that up but the Mac is where I get
[TS]
00:02:28
◼
►
my work done and so the matter I am very conservative with upgrading
[TS]
00:02:32
◼
►
and like all you like even even one like you know ten-point something points 7.8
[TS]
00:02:38
◼
►
update you know one of the mid-cycle updates even one of those comes out I
[TS]
00:02:43
◼
►
want to offer a few days after it comes out just just to see if anyone else has
[TS]
00:02:46
◼
►
like a whole bunch of me make major problem because they're just like no
[TS]
00:02:50
◼
►
motivation for me there's almost always something in the App Store app bother me
[TS]
00:02:55
◼
►
that I have to reboot my computer for an update and I am just I just put it off
[TS]
00:02:58
◼
►
like a week so that's that's how things have been going against like you know
[TS]
00:03:07
◼
►
what's what am I really gonna get if i upgrade some leading edge version of us
[TS]
00:03:13
◼
►
to give it a security update ok but if it's just like we had to support for a
[TS]
00:03:18
◼
►
new printers like I don't really need that we fixin things and Safari well so
[TS]
00:03:23
◼
►
far is never fixed so I just feel again need I need and and I don't even know if
[TS]
00:03:28
◼
►
I can logically defend this but I feel like I need some stability in my
[TS]
00:03:34
◼
►
computing life and for me that's become the Mac like your work right so I didn't
[TS]
00:03:39
◼
►
upgrade to iOS 7 on my phone right away I think I waited 23 but you know what I
[TS]
00:03:43
◼
►
was running at most of the summer I mean fun and you know I would say as the
[TS]
00:03:48
◼
►
basis of gone over the years even given how radical the UI changes are it was
[TS]
00:03:53
◼
►
actually pretty no not that bad experience never very few bugs I ran
[TS]
00:03:57
◼
►
into that were serious problems every once in awhile they'd be like a virgin
[TS]
00:04:01
◼
►
when come out and one of the apps I use would crash all the time on it that kind
[TS]
00:04:05
◼
►
of stuff I am NOT going to go you know you can't go and complain to developers
[TS]
00:04:09
◼
►
that they're as happy as crashing on 0800 even though the lead me people do
[TS]
00:04:16
◼
►
you know so annoying but it was the United but I felt like having my Mac
[TS]
00:04:21
◼
►
still running the standard 10.8 whatever you know standard all summer
[TS]
00:04:28
◼
►
you know give me something stable to build so there's a pair of that coming
[TS]
00:04:36
◼
►
well who knows what kind of how did the did the invitation not specify iPads
[TS]
00:04:41
◼
►
don't ever do even for the iPhone one which really like some kind of like
[TS]
00:04:46
◼
►
really obvious hint in in like the text of it was then won this week on and even
[TS]
00:04:52
◼
►
look at people every article about the invitation of going out is usually so
[TS]
00:04:57
◼
►
insufferable that I did I stop treating them like it's the what do you like it
[TS]
00:05:02
◼
►
reads into everything way too deeply and usually if they're gonna tell you
[TS]
00:05:06
◼
►
anything useful they'll be they'll be over the head with it basically gonna be
[TS]
00:05:10
◼
►
really clear this one was it says we still have a lot to cover some maybe
[TS]
00:05:18
◼
►
they're not releasing new iPads and they're only releasing new Smart Covers
[TS]
00:05:22
◼
►
that's somebody somebody I did see some of the on Twitter suggest exactly that
[TS]
00:05:28
◼
►
just new Smart Covers and you know then Dan even reasonable people could say you
[TS]
00:05:36
◼
►
know what they are there this company is losing all my theory I'm from my eye was
[TS]
00:05:41
◼
►
a show last night and my theory was that you know they they have the mini which
[TS]
00:05:47
◼
►
one of its most important roles is to try to close the price gap with the
[TS]
00:05:52
◼
►
other you know crap tablets out there and they have a high end features they
[TS]
00:05:58
◼
►
want to create in there like redness screens I i assume the track I'm in
[TS]
00:06:00
◼
►
there and probably have done it by now but try to achieve super low cost and
[TS]
00:06:07
◼
►
all these high-end features is always a challenge you know an apple historically
[TS]
00:06:10
◼
►
has avoided the super low and just kind of gone for like mid-range and upper
[TS]
00:06:13
◼
►
range and so my theory is that the existing I've had many sticks around and
[TS]
00:06:19
◼
►
just has a reduced price and not you know not two hundred bucks probably but
[TS]
00:06:23
◼
►
maybe like 279 or 330 bucks less and then the retina can come in at a higher
[TS]
00:06:29
◼
►
price to cover you know their readiness of it maybe 399 well the only problem
[TS]
00:06:36
◼
►
with that I think there's some logic to that and I definitely think if they go
[TS]
00:06:40
◼
►
right now with this year's model which I now think they probably well I have no
[TS]
00:06:44
◼
►
no inside jokes about it though it's just a gut feeling mostly in foreign by
[TS]
00:06:49
◼
►
Iowa Senate that I think I was just looks so then in Whitby on an unwritten
[TS]
00:06:55
◼
►
screen that I really think that I don't know I just gives me a good just the
[TS]
00:07:02
◼
►
look of Iowa 7 makes me think they're not gonna have a major iOS device and I
[TS]
00:07:06
◼
►
think the Mini is it serious you know I think it's a huge part of the iPad mix I
[TS]
00:07:12
◼
►
just don't think that they're gonna go another year without it is that I
[TS]
00:07:16
◼
►
definitely think that if they do go read because retin a's such a big jump in
[TS]
00:07:21
◼
►
costs I think component lies that they'll definitely do that thing that
[TS]
00:07:27
◼
►
they did with the iPad 1 and one red which is keep the non-renewal around at
[TS]
00:07:32
◼
►
a lower price point but the thing is here's the other thing know when when
[TS]
00:07:36
◼
►
other devices have gone retina like the iPhone and the iPad the day kept older a
[TS]
00:07:43
◼
►
year models around to have lower prices but they kept the prices the same so I
[TS]
00:07:47
◼
►
don't know if starting the retina minion 399 woodwork came out when the iPad 3
[TS]
00:07:55
◼
►
came out the iPad 2 dropped a hundred bucks right right so there is precedent
[TS]
00:08:00
◼
►
for that but it also mean I think you know everyone under the Sun is arguing
[TS]
00:08:05
◼
►
about how Apple should go lower end as always you know notebooks etc but I
[TS]
00:08:09
◼
►
think it might be problematic if they go into this holiday season with their
[TS]
00:08:14
◼
►
cheapest tablet being 329 like that it feels as if they can bring that down any
[TS]
00:08:19
◼
►
lower at all they could just sell even more and I know the mini so ridiculously
[TS]
00:08:24
◼
►
well even at 3:29 but that was also a year ago that launched and you look at
[TS]
00:08:30
◼
►
what Google and Amazon and all the no-name people are doing with their with
[TS]
00:08:34
◼
►
their craft tablets
[TS]
00:08:35
◼
►
and they're getting less crappy at those low price points and I don't think I
[TS]
00:08:42
◼
►
don't think I was gonna have to hit 200 bucks but coming down even just a little
[TS]
00:08:45
◼
►
bit you know even from 329 just two to three hundred or two to seven you know
[TS]
00:08:49
◼
►
and to 249 sweet spot for that that if they if they can do that I think that'd
[TS]
00:08:55
◼
►
be great also its kind of help would push it even maybe that far down and
[TS]
00:09:01
◼
►
certainly not lower than that is because the iPad Mini kinda hurt their margins
[TS]
00:09:07
◼
►
for a while didn't it
[TS]
00:09:09
◼
►
well as best as we can tell they don't write all that out but so assuming it
[TS]
00:09:15
◼
►
did then keeping the old one around for another year at a lower price but where
[TS]
00:09:21
◼
►
the Delta there is less than the actual manufacturing of making it a year ago
[TS]
00:09:27
◼
►
versus making making it today they can boost their margins little bit just by
[TS]
00:09:30
◼
►
having the cheap one be a little higher margin that was last year but if it's
[TS]
00:09:34
◼
►
still cheaper I think part of the clues for that too is just as simple as the
[TS]
00:09:38
◼
►
pricing at 3:29 was such a slightly odd price for them you know usually they
[TS]
00:09:43
◼
►
liked and a 99 in if not 9949 you know
[TS]
00:09:48
◼
►
hundred inelegant they've done it before I don't think it's unprecedented and as
[TS]
00:09:55
◼
►
the iPod's got lower and lower priced over the decade that they were so
[TS]
00:10:00
◼
►
popular you know especially once they got under $200 you know they had like
[TS]
00:10:04
◼
►
hundred and seventy-nine models and in a weird prices like that because once you
[TS]
00:10:09
◼
►
get that low in price you know it's it's hard to drop another whole 50 bucks at a
[TS]
00:10:15
◼
►
time so I think that 329 prices probably because it at their normal margins it
[TS]
00:10:21
◼
►
would have been 349 and they really did they really wanted to push it now you
[TS]
00:10:25
◼
►
know I don't think like 299 would have been feasible for I don't think that
[TS]
00:10:29
◼
►
they raised the price and milked it I think that they took it took a hit on a
[TS]
00:10:34
◼
►
margin so that it wouldn't be 349 start that sounds about right but I'm having a
[TS]
00:10:40
◼
►
hard time even getting excited about this because you know for the last years
[TS]
00:10:44
◼
►
I have had this many in a kind of me that my primary iPad but I also hate the
[TS]
00:10:47
◼
►
screen so much
[TS]
00:10:49
◼
►
that I i keep and use my iPad 3 and everything but the floor but I've used
[TS]
00:10:53
◼
►
iPad 3 as like games or sometimes reading so it's kind of like two iPads
[TS]
00:11:00
◼
►
and and I'm actually like I hardly ever even use iPads in fact my iPad Mini has
[TS]
00:11:06
◼
►
been used more for Verizon tethering that it has for any other purpose is
[TS]
00:11:11
◼
►
really nice long hot spot it's wonderful and it's and having you know my phone
[TS]
00:11:16
◼
►
with AT&T get my house sucks Verizon so having both services available for for
[TS]
00:11:22
◼
►
tethering is awesome when you're traveling because the spot where one of
[TS]
00:11:26
◼
►
them sucks and and Verizon tends to be the better option for tether is because
[TS]
00:11:30
◼
►
the way more of the network is LTE and so Verizon's great for tethering but I
[TS]
00:11:34
◼
►
can use it for voice so it's really nice having the option for both carriers now
[TS]
00:11:40
◼
►
I remember I've I guess when I have credit to the five and we switched
[TS]
00:11:45
◼
►
phones to Verizon I we went all Verizon and there are some advantages to that
[TS]
00:11:50
◼
►
billing rise like there's like this family plan things so instead of paying
[TS]
00:11:53
◼
►
for my iPad data plan on the iPad it's I just added the device to our to our
[TS]
00:12:01
◼
►
verizon plan right
[TS]
00:12:03
◼
►
Verizon has a thing we can do that and that's nice it actually saves us a
[TS]
00:12:07
◼
►
little bit of money I mean it's godly menominee to Verizon every month but
[TS]
00:12:12
◼
►
it's it's cheaper than it would have been to just have the iPad independently
[TS]
00:12:15
◼
►
but it was nice when I had Verizon iPad and AT&T phone like when I was on the
[TS]
00:12:21
◼
►
train to between Philly New York there's dead spots for both but you could you
[TS]
00:12:27
◼
►
know I would like tether most of the way on Verizon then when it dropped out
[TS]
00:12:33
◼
►
drop off the tethering and see if AT&T are usually you can get at least one and
[TS]
00:12:40
◼
►
only when you have both it's it's it's very becomes very clear that neither
[TS]
00:12:44
◼
►
network is overall better than the other like they both have dropped spots and
[TS]
00:12:50
◼
►
and crappy areas used a slightly different and you know it could just be
[TS]
00:12:55
◼
►
right where the antenna is you know there are certain
[TS]
00:12:58
◼
►
hotels that I've stayed at regularly were sometimes I'll get a room and get a
[TS]
00:13:01
◼
►
good signal and same hotel I guess maybe I always get twisted around in a hotel
[TS]
00:13:06
◼
►
but on the other side of the building and I don't get a good signal in my town
[TS]
00:13:13
◼
►
is very hilly hills and CNN radio signals do not get along but on top of
[TS]
00:13:18
◼
►
our town hall there's an AT&T tower and I can actually like there's a window in
[TS]
00:13:24
◼
►
my house from which I can just barely see my line of sight to the AT&T a
[TS]
00:13:28
◼
►
antenna so the 80 covers of town fantastically and I guess rise and
[TS]
00:13:34
◼
►
didn't make a deal so they don't and it doesn't matter but anyway so I am having
[TS]
00:13:40
◼
►
a hard time getting sad about the iPad because I've kind of stopped using iPads
[TS]
00:13:43
◼
►
to love who use them like for work and and I've just never really gotten never
[TS]
00:13:50
◼
►
crossed that that liner or gotten into that pattern I guess depends on what I
[TS]
00:13:56
◼
►
do some days I do a lot of reading them and some days it is involved in the
[TS]
00:14:02
◼
►
three things Mac iPhone iPad I do not a day goes by round not using my Mac well
[TS]
00:14:08
◼
►
I guess like a family vacation or something that i guess i phone is the
[TS]
00:14:11
◼
►
one where every single day
[TS]
00:14:12
◼
►
Mac I use every day that a quote working iPad who knows I get an offer I think
[TS]
00:14:20
◼
►
it's worth it I think it was worth it well worth the purchase but you know
[TS]
00:14:23
◼
►
it's clearly if I had to I had to leave one behind it was clearly whatever I
[TS]
00:14:27
◼
►
think I mean that same thing like part of that is why I like the many because
[TS]
00:14:32
◼
►
at least smaller and lighter so it's like if I'm trying to make a bag
[TS]
00:14:36
◼
►
reasonably light to carry somewhere like it's not that big of a deal but I don't
[TS]
00:14:43
◼
►
know I mean like I can totally understand the market for these giant
[TS]
00:14:46
◼
►
screen phones because ideally like if Apple made a bigger screen iPhone I
[TS]
00:14:51
◼
►
don't most certainly get it for myself because I i do more of the things that
[TS]
00:14:55
◼
►
people do i do so much of that just on my phone with everything else yeah I'm
[TS]
00:14:59
◼
►
around then that I think I would you know I wouldn't miss the extra pocket
[TS]
00:15:03
◼
►
space you know who cares a big pants and even for like you know like ebook
[TS]
00:15:08
◼
►
reading
[TS]
00:15:09
◼
►
paper reading that sort of thing something that's a big ass that's right
[TS]
00:15:15
◼
►
to me as were the biggest fans really shine I think I mean maybe
[TS]
00:15:19
◼
►
certainly but maybe the problem here the reason why haven't used iPads for the
[TS]
00:15:24
◼
►
last year for the most part is that I don't want to read on the meaning of the
[TS]
00:15:28
◼
►
screen sucks and the big one like now that I had this point of comparison of
[TS]
00:15:33
◼
►
the many the big one feels so giant heavy it just feels ridiculous maybe the
[TS]
00:15:39
◼
►
retina many will change things I don't get too excited about our enemy because
[TS]
00:15:44
◼
►
I almost for so long I felt like if it took all the other iOS devices two years
[TS]
00:15:49
◼
►
to go from nan Ren and take it'll take the iPad Mini to you at least two years
[TS]
00:15:55
◼
►
to but maybe you know your sample size right it's not very big and it might be
[TS]
00:16:00
◼
►
one of those things to wear just the you know the just the way that the whole

industry everything goes forward so much faster that you know that like just the
[TS]
00:16:08
◼
►
same not just the the screen itself but like they're the improvement necessary
[TS]
00:16:12
◼
►
improvement to the GPU comes faster to you know that it's not that surprising
[TS]
00:16:17
◼
►
that it's just one year later also you know look at when the iPhone 4 with that
[TS]
00:16:22
◼
►
with the first Retina screen when that was launched look at the landscape of
[TS]
00:16:25
◼
►
what everyone else had a you know everyone else had low resolution screens
[TS]
00:16:28
◼
►
for a relatively speaking right they were ahead of the curve for now all
[TS]
00:16:32
◼
►
these cheap tablets have really high resolution screens that we had that I
[TS]
00:16:36
◼
►
pretty sure all the more dense enough they could be quote retina screens and
[TS]
00:16:39
◼
►
an iPad Mini is like the only one that doesn't happen at this point and the
[TS]
00:16:44
◼
►
other thing too is that the difference between retina and on rent is so
[TS]
00:16:48
◼
►
dramatic I mean I know that there I've heard from a handful of people who are
[TS]
00:16:53
◼
►
like you know I really don't see that big difference and I honestly think that
[TS]
00:16:56
◼
►
did they must be visually impaired and mentally affair but it's a rare
[TS]
00:17:04
◼

opportunity if they wanted to keep the old if they're ever gonna switch to a
[TS]
00:17:10
◼

model where they have a lower price point and but want to make this a lot of
[TS]
00:17:15
◼

people who could afford who's who who aren't overly price-sensitive still
[TS]
00:17:20
◼
►
splurge on the higher higher priced higher margin lines margin red numbers
[TS]
00:17:26
◼
►
is non renders the moment to do that but I don't think I don't think there will
[TS]
00:17:30
◼
►
ever be a feature that's that easily
[TS]
00:17:33
◼
►
Oh I see I see exactly what this featured us right there in the store I
[TS]
00:17:38
◼
►
think also you can look at how retina is scaling up you know with the phone it
[TS]
00:17:43
◼
►
was basically free you know because the the amount of data the size of the
[TS]
00:17:48
◼
►
screen buffer you know becoming four times larger on a phone size screen that
[TS]
00:17:54
◼
►
was less of a big deal and so yeah the GPU had to get better but phone reviews
[TS]
00:17:58
◼
►
are kind of in that line anyway then you saw it moved to the iPad size that there
[TS]
00:18:05
◼
►
are substantial tradeoffs and still am in with you know who announced next week
[TS]
00:18:08
◼
►
but still there are you know even the best retina iPad today is big and heavy
[TS]
00:18:15
◼
►
and is noticeably bigger and heavier than the comparable iPad that was not
[TS]
00:18:19
◼
►
the iPad 2 and then you look at the laptops and they have these retina
[TS]
00:18:23
◼
►
MacBook Pros which are basically MacBook Airs but they need way more power than a
[TS]
00:18:30
◼
►
MacBook way more battery power in the MacBook Air and so obviously like as you
[TS]
00:18:35
◼
►
multiplying the number of pixels you doing with my for matters more
[TS]
00:18:39
◼
►
and takes more horsepower and and is an exponential I don't know if it's at
[TS]
00:18:44
◼
►
least it's it's at least a matt is working against you here and so it's
[TS]
00:18:49
◼
►
possible that you know at the iPad size maybe they just like at the phone they
[TS]
00:18:55
◼
►
can just kinda make them already and be fine as you get up scale
[TS]
00:19:00
◼
►
you can't do that yet maybe you know maybe in three to five years it'll just
[TS]
00:19:04
◼
►
be like you could fit a Retina screen and some of the size of the MacBook Air
[TS]
00:19:07
◼
►
with no battery problems but I don't think we're there yet and I think it's
[TS]
00:19:12
◼
►
still a couple years off yeah I think there's a there's a contingent of people
[TS]
00:19:16
◼
►
who always complain and I love them because I do like I love a dent but if I
[TS]
00:19:22
◼
►
don't know it might not be the best word to mispronounce it had a pronounced I
[TS]
00:19:28
◼
►
thought it was but who knows I I really don't know we should both mispronounce
[TS]
00:19:35
◼
►
it just just to anger them identical say pedantic so I love and all over the
[TS]
00:19:49
◼
►
years writing about you know right numbers these devices move whenever I
[TS]
00:19:54
◼
►
say that renders double the resolution there's a contingent people's houses
[TS]
00:19:58
◼
►
four times the resolution because they're they're talking about area as
[TS]
00:20:03
◼
►
opposed to write that it's you know four times the pixels so you should say it
[TS]
00:20:08
◼
►
four times the resolution and I've always stuck to double because to me by
[TS]
00:20:14
◼
►
their logic doubling the resolution would just be sort of incremental
[TS]
00:20:17
◼
►
increase you know like to me yes but and I was feeling better to downplay the
[TS]
00:20:24
◼
►
marketing he's aspect of it you know that if I say it four times the
[TS]
00:20:29
◼
►
resolution it's gonna seem like catering to Apple's wishes you know right from
[TS]
00:20:37
◼
►
the get way more angry emails from about saying that the new rising twice the
[TS]
00:20:42
◼
►
resolution but I think but I think it's useful to keep that in mind when you
[TS]
00:20:46
◼
►
think about things like the graphics card and the power consumption you
[TS]
00:20:53
◼
►
really are lighting up four times more pixels so really might be four times the
[TS]
00:20:57
◼
►
energy consumption you know it from an engineering perspective in a lot of ways
[TS]
00:21:00
◼
►
it does make sense to think of it as a for tax increase not a two X increase
[TS]
00:21:04
◼
►
really all the costs go up for X Ray you know that you're not the backlight and
[TS]
00:21:09
◼
►
Sara Lee goes up some but not for experts still so many other things
[TS]
00:21:12
◼
►
the Rams all the pics of the GPU has to be pushing in rendering and certainly
[TS]
00:21:17
◼
►
all the little transistors in the actual pixels there's more of those so you can
[TS]
00:21:21
◼
►
basically assume it's four times as expensive to supported hardware wise
[TS]
00:21:24
◼
►
even now a year and a half after the the iPad first when it still is kind of
[TS]
00:21:32
◼
►
blows my mind that a device that never really operated while it's plugged in to
[TS]
00:21:37
◼
►
power is pushing that many pixels at 60 frames per second
[TS]
00:21:42
◼
►
yeah I mean even look at look at the 15 MacBook Pro and that has a higher
[TS]
00:21:46
◼
►
resolution than my 30 X desktop monitor which I cannot wait until they make
[TS]
00:21:52
◼
►
every podcast I'm on I'm going to wish for a Retina display until it happens to
[TS]
00:21:58
◼
►
be my team under TV thats let's hold off on that instinct iPad because the other
[TS]
00:22:05
◼
►
thing now I know I think the other other product i mean you have to talk about
[TS]
00:22:10
◼
►
but it's when I am finding the hardest to get excited about is the regular iPad
[TS]
00:22:15
◼
►
case study however I think that they're still the best selling models I do that
[TS]
00:22:23
◼
►
that would be news I think I don't know how I'd be curious to know that if
[TS]
00:22:26
◼
►
anyone from the numbers I think that they still are but it's hard to tell how
[TS]
00:22:29
◼
►
many and and some of that is just from me eyeballing you know but people are
[TS]
00:22:33
◼
►
using on airplanes and stuff like that I would you know I don't know I don't know
[TS]
00:22:37
◼
►
how you would break that down too hard but I hear from people that that there's
[TS]
00:22:42
◼
►
a ton of iPad 2 still being so special education because it's big and cheap and
[TS]
00:22:48
◼
►
assuming they killed the iPad 2 this year which I hope they do it's been
[TS]
00:22:52
◼
►
around for quite a while I'm getting a little tired of supporting a fives but
[TS]
00:22:56
◼
►
assuming they kill that then what replaces it at that price point or is it
[TS]
00:23:05
◼
►
does that become the retina many later the health education people just by the
[TS]
00:23:08
◼
►
many and you can choose between the cheap one of the retina one I think
[TS]
00:23:12
◼
►
it'll be a big it'll be a big tell as to how well that iPad 2 did continue to
[TS]
00:23:18
◼
►
sell if they keep a big sized iPad at that price price whether it's the iPad 3
[TS]
00:23:23
◼
►
dropped in price or whether they actually still keep the iPad 2 around
[TS]
00:23:27
◼
►
another year it would be a sign of how well it's selling I think so i think
[TS]
00:23:34
◼
►
there's two big things I can think of to get excited about with the full-size
[TS]
00:23:37
◼
►
iPad one is that I i you know I know that they've been leaks of these
[TS]
00:23:41
◼
►
the case hardware case that is now a lot more like a big it's a big iPad Mini
[TS]
00:23:48
◼
►
which sounds stupid but you know the Bible on the side is is narrow and it's
[TS]
00:23:54
◼
►
that same Kirby sort of thing I can't help it is going to be a lot thinner too
[TS]
00:23:58
◼
►
and it's hoped lighter you know that they've you know because the screen is
[TS]
00:24:02
◼
►
still gonna be the same that they can can pack everything into a smaller thing
[TS]
00:24:07
◼
►
and get it back to like an iPad 2 weight thickness and I think that'd be exciting
[TS]
00:24:11
◼
►
to be a dramatic you know percentage wise it may be measured in millimeters
[TS]
00:24:16
◼
►
but percentage wise it could be a lot better I think apple also do you know
[TS]
00:24:21
◼
►
they want to capture that the margins of the high-end buyers the early adopters
[TS]
00:24:26
◼
►
the nerds the power users they want to get them back behind because they can
[TS]
00:24:30
◼
►
get a lot more money and we all bought the many this past year because it was
[TS]
00:24:36
◼
►
new and awesome and you know tiny so I think they're gonna do some segmentation
[TS]
00:24:40
◼
►
there for instance obviously if you look at the economics of the many pretty sure
[TS]
00:24:44
◼
►
it's not gonna have the a seven so it doesn't have the a seven it's not gonna
[TS]
00:24:47
◼
►
have to Shady and so I'm guessing if they bring to the iPad which I wouldn't
[TS]
00:24:51
◼
►
actually think it's a guarantee quite yet but if they do protection to the
[TS]
00:24:55
◼
►
iPad this year I would say it will be only in the big one and that would be
[TS]
00:25:01
◼
►
kind of a way to end of course there were only seven the big one or the use
[TS]
00:25:04
◼
►
of an ex probably and in the end in the many will still only have the A six acts
[TS]
00:25:09
◼
►
that currently powering up at 4 °c that's how I would would bet that it's
[TS]
00:25:14
◼
►
gonna play out that you know but again it's like you said earlier it's a small
[TS]
00:25:18
◼
►
sample size to drawn to look at last year's iPad Mini and you know where it
[TS]
00:25:22
◼
►
was on the
[TS]
00:25:23
◼
►
annual chain of you know a whatever processors you know last year was a year
[TS]
00:25:29
◼
►
behind it was still on retina are not read it might be dangerous to us to take
[TS]
00:25:34
◼
►
that one year of iPad Mini and extrapolate from that but I still that's
[TS]
00:25:38
◼
►
what I would bet that look at the iPod Touch also had a product has always been
[TS]
00:25:42
◼
►
the low-cost phone size thing and you can think of the many as the low cost
[TS]
00:25:46
◼
►
iPad size thing and and the iPod Touch always has like last year CPU right now
[TS]
00:25:53
◼
►
it has two years ago CPU because they didn't they didn't remember all the
[TS]
00:25:57
◼
►
weekend although we get to that that's another one of my items to speculate for
[TS]
00:26:02
◼
►
next week is well then maybe you know they do new iPods and maybe instead you
[TS]
00:26:08
◼
►
know maybe the fact that they didn't appear alongside the iPhone at the
[TS]
00:26:11
◼
►
quote-unquote music event you know I'm guessing no because they still did call
[TS]
00:26:16
◼
►
that the music event and it would seem weird for Apple marketing wise to have
[TS]
00:26:21
◼
►
the music event without the iPods and then have the iPod come out five weeks
[TS]
00:26:25
◼
►
later but on the other hand how much does an iPod Touch really have to do
[TS]
00:26:28
◼
►
with music at this point
[TS]
00:26:31
◼
►
yeah it's a good question and it's kind of more like an iPad iPad yeah I can't
[TS]
00:26:40
◼
►
see them going into a holiday season without new iPod touches but I don't
[TS]
00:26:44
◼
►
know they could surprise us to drop the price is a little bit of the current
[TS]
00:26:47
◼
►
ones I think touch I D for the full-size iPad I think I'm gonna bet yes they do
[TS]
00:26:55
◼
►
you know that the new full-size iPad is gonna get an A seven of some sort and so
[TS]
00:26:59
◼
►
if it's gonna have the hd7 it seems like why not put the touch Center in there
[TS]
00:27:04
◼
►
unless they're really supply constraint on those touch centers which I don't
[TS]
00:27:10
◼
►
know I mean it's one of those things where it you know Tim Cook in like two
[TS]
00:27:13
◼
►
other people but but I think though that the full-size iPad I think so far has
[TS]
00:27:20
◼
►
remained roughly in in
[TS]
00:27:23
◼
►
in parallel to the top of the line iPhone in terms of major advances lol
[TS]
00:27:28
◼
►
didn't get serious first but thats that was more of a software thing that was
[TS]
00:27:32
◼
►
something more serious being beta server load reasons I love starting out on the
[TS]
00:27:39
◼
►
brand new iPhone is probably not an easy way and for surfers it's not like an
[TS]
00:27:44
◼
►
easy rampa
[TS]
00:27:45
◼
►
but one reason for me and I know a lot of readers of Daraa far above like just
[TS]
00:27:52
◼
►
random email me or treated me the same exact thing which is that they bought an
[TS]
00:27:56
◼
►
iPhone 5s and within like 48 hours every time they go to unlock their iPad
[TS]
00:28:01
◼
►
they're just holding their own thing and they're like hey what's going on and
[TS]
00:28:04
◼
►
then they realized oh and so democratic decisions based on experience like that
[TS]
00:28:12
◼
►
but you know within Apple they've been using you know that the iPhone 5s
[TS]
00:28:16
◼
►
internally for a while and then surely had the same experience inside Apple you
[TS]
00:28:22
◼
►
know that hey now that i unlock my phone this way I can get used to not unlike my
[TS]
00:28:27
◼
►
phone this way and so I don't know I feel like it's addictive enough that
[TS]
00:28:31
◼
►
that it would might push them to put it in the first year
[TS]
00:28:36
◼
►
yeah I'd say it'll probably be there but I wouldn't say it's a sure thing I'll
[TS]
00:28:40
◼
►
also bet though that however few and I know they said it was more than half of
[TS]
00:28:45
◼
►
all smartphones don't have a passcode I don't know I can't even imagine what the
[TS]
00:28:49
◼
►
percentage of iPad passcode is enforced you know it's you know there's actually
[TS]
00:28:55
◼
►
some logic behind that you're a lot less likely to let you know
[TS]
00:28:58
◼
►
leave a bigger thing behind in a cab or something like that you know it's you
[TS]
00:29:04
◼
►
know phone could fall out of a pocket theory and i've had is a lot less likely
[TS]
00:29:10
◼
►
to fall out of your pocket but you know it's you know when I travel I always
[TS]
00:29:17
◼
►
have to remember to keep it at home I turn the passcode off but then when I
[TS]
00:29:20
◼
►
travel a tight turn Pasco man
[TS]
00:29:24
◼
►
I think I think you know you don't do that on my iPad usually well I guess
[TS]
00:29:30
◼
►
what could possibly happen to this thing that I leave in my hotel room when I go
[TS]
00:29:34
◼
►
out all day but the matter of fact that might be worth considering I wish I've
[TS]
00:29:40
◼
►
said this before I wish the day would do something where you could you could name
[TS]
00:29:46
◼
►
a safe WiFi network and that when when you're on this WiFi network prompt for
[TS]
00:29:54
◼
►
the passcode the first time since you know you were away from it out of the
[TS]
00:29:59
◼
►
range of this wifi so the first time you saw it could just be found you leave the
[TS]
00:30:04
◼
►
house to go somewhere you come home you need to unlock your phone because you
[TS]
00:30:10
◼
►
just came home and then in till you leave that wi-fi network just a lot
[TS]
00:30:14
◼
►
actually really good you think about all the different ways that could fail or be
[TS]
00:30:21
◼
►
hacked and and making it prompt the first time you join a tour like every
[TS]
00:30:25
◼
►
time you rejoin a network I think it's pretty solid right because that way if
[TS]
00:30:29
◼
►
somebody stole your iPhone but then stood outside the front door of your
[TS]
00:30:33
◼
►
house it wouldn't automatically unlock I think the problem is like when when the
[TS]
00:30:38
◼
►
phones in your pocket for an hour and you don't even take it out all pretty
[TS]
00:30:41
◼
►
short description your wi-fi network yes I might be that that might be the killer
[TS]
00:30:47
◼
►
might be you know maybe just tryin to wifi might be wrong I might just be the
[TS]
00:30:52
◼
►
you know the basic location services then and even if it falls to the the
[TS]
00:31:01
◼
►
wider geofence the low you know we've been to the phones been sleeping for a
[TS]
00:31:05
◼
►
while and it gets a little sloppy here in terms of the precision of the
[TS]
00:31:08
◼
►
geofence to keep the battery you know from from training too fast even that
[TS]
00:31:13
◼
►
might be close enough other problem is like how annoying would it be if every
[TS]
00:31:19
◼
►
time you took your phone in your pocket you have to like kind of think about
[TS]
00:31:22
◼
►
whether he to unlock it or not
[TS]
00:31:25
◼
►
like it if it becomes like you have to unlock it a quarter of the time instead
[TS]
00:31:31
◼
►
of most of the time I that's that's a little weird yeah and maybe that's that
[TS]
00:31:36
◼
►
maybe I'm overthinking it to now that such ideas maybe touch ideas the answer
[TS]
00:31:40
◼

is pretty tidy Center in and then you don't have to worry I don't know why I
[TS]
00:31:44

stopped I find touch I D a little bit too much effort to be convenient like

what I'm like I use it when I went to singleton which all the cool people who

the talk show her talk show you don't don't don't miss out on that where you
[TS]
00:36:09

◼
►
the mini in a new smaller thinner case for the big one and maybe touch you know
[TS]
00:36:50
◼
►
I don't even I don't even expect the big 12 get that much lighter because it is a
[TS]
00:36:55
◼
►
really large Retina screen it's going to have a high-powered CPU with a
[TS]
00:36:59
◼
►
high-powered GPU I'm guessing it's probably gonna be smaller like
[TS]
00:37:03
◼
►
physically smaller but I've been talking to me that much lighter cuz it most of
[TS]
00:37:07
◼
►
that weight is the battery will see I don't know it certainly would be a
[TS]
00:37:11
◼
►
polite to focus on that and I would love to see it happen is when the luxury
[TS]
00:37:15
◼
►
proven wrong on that has got to be some Mac news next week to I expected very
[TS]
00:37:21
◼
►
least in the same way that
[TS]
00:37:23
◼
►
for Iggy was called up by Tim cocked his to rehash you know what's new in iOS 7
[TS]
00:37:31
◼
►
and here's you know the eight or ten features of the day that was most
[TS]
00:37:35
◼
►
important any kind of rent a room in about 10 minutes I would expect the same
[TS]
00:37:39
◼
►
thing with maverick's where they're going to 48 you know and you know it's
[TS]
00:37:43
◼
►
good marketing you repeat your message and I think but I think it's mostly you
[TS]
00:37:46
◼
►
know here's everything they told us about back at WBC they gonna tell it to
[TS]
00:37:49
◼
►
us again more concisely I definitely expect that and I expect you know
[TS]
00:37:56
◼
►
clearly I mean I did since they've already shifted something called the GIM
[TS]
00:38:01
◼
►
to developers it it's probably coming soon enough it's gonna be released next
[TS]
00:38:05
◼
►
week but if not next week I would expect a week later at the latest surprise me
[TS]
00:38:10
◼
►
if they cause the events were back on Tuesday or Wednesday private available
[TS]
00:38:14
◼
►
Friday yeah that's what I'm thinking that's probably my guess is the event is
[TS]
00:38:18
◼
►
Tuesday and then Friday it hits the App Store right for people to buy and
[TS]
00:38:24
◼
►
download is there he told developers to submit their apps like almost a week ago
[TS]
00:38:28
◼
►
now and so i i that that to me says this is it they give you about a week they
[TS]
00:38:36
◼
►
say submit your apps in the App Store with the GMs TK today and a week later
[TS]
00:38:40
◼
►
it comes out yeah that's what i said im guessing they're right on Friday the
[TS]
00:38:45
◼
►
25th yeah yeah that's my bet I can't help but think since they also at WWDC
[TS]
00:38:52
◼
►
pre announced the Mac Pro and said it was coming this year I can't help but
[TS]
00:38:58
◼
►
think it's going to be it's gonna be at the next week and whether it goes on
[TS]
00:39:02
◼
►
sale immediately or you know I'm guessing the Mac Pro is never gonna run
[TS]
00:39:09
◼
►
10.8 it's you know they don't that's usually when they release hardware and a
[TS]
00:39:14
◼
►
new OS at the same time the hardware's tied to that s so I don't know if it
[TS]
00:39:19
◼
►
will be available for sale
[TS]
00:39:20
◼
►
you know immediately after the show is over or like in a couple of days but I
[TS]
00:39:24
◼
►
expected the new Mac Pro gonna go on sale and weirdly they did just released
[TS]
00:39:29
◼
►
new iMacs like not that long ago that didn't come with 10.9 obviously
[TS]
00:39:35
◼
►
right was a little bit odd timing on that yeah I guess you know I guess
[TS]
00:39:40
◼
►
there's always a fine line to balance between you know what they want to hold
[TS]
00:39:43
◼
►
an event and what they want to just release as it ready I wonder if you know
[TS]
00:39:48
◼
►
the the MacBook Air being released in June that probably has a lot to do with
[TS]
00:39:53
◼
►
back-to-school buying and this is the iMac being released like a month ago
[TS]
00:39:58
◼
►
whenever that was wonderful has to do with like school budgets or something
[TS]
00:40:02
◼
►
like that maybe but I was always under the impression that schools especially
[TS]
00:40:06
◼
►
like Kate well do most of their purchasing in like April and May for the
[TS]
00:40:12
◼
►
next year that is it it's a months in advance
[TS]
00:40:16
◼
►
sort of before the summer break and that did the if there was any product that
[TS]
00:40:22
◼
►
was sort of two timed to that schedule was the old iPads the first couple years
[TS]
00:40:27
◼
►
where they would come out in April that that was education by side are now but
[TS]
00:40:33
◼
►
on the other hand i think thats institutional education there's also the
[TS]
00:40:37
◼
►
back-to-school angle of hate you know my 18 year olds going to college and he
[TS]
00:40:41
◼
►
needs a computer but I think like you know the the airtime well for that the
[TS]
00:40:46
◼
►
IMAX or too late for that
[TS]
00:40:47
◼
►
yeah I think so too and I think the percentage of college students today
[TS]
00:40:53
◼
►
going with like an iMac style desktop computers gotta be like single digits I
[TS]
00:40:58
◼
►
think oh yeah I think everyone has laptops even when I was in college
[TS]
00:41:03
◼
►
twelve years ago ten thirteen years ago when I was in college forever ago I was
[TS]
00:41:09
◼
►
one of the people they were the desktop I mean that and that was that was
[TS]
00:41:12
◼
►
forever ago it's only been going more and more laptop heavy since then so I
[TS]
00:41:17
◼
►
think they'd be weird if you stop today I think it would be weird then I think
[TS]
00:41:20
◼
►
maybe the IB IMAX coming out when they did was just a factor of that you know
[TS]
00:41:25
◼
►
it's just a speedbump nothing new as they came out they were announced at
[TS]
00:41:30
◼
►
last year's October event the right the one that was instituted in san Jose has
[TS]
00:41:38
◼
►
also been staging out the new CPU releases they came out pretty soon after
[TS]
00:41:43
◼
►
the CPUs were available from intel uses
[TS]
00:41:46
◼
►
and so maybe I mean it looks like the entire about might just be being
[TS]
00:41:50
◼
►
detained by the low voltage CPUs and in the desktop CPUs and and the Mac Pro
[TS]
00:41:56
◼
►
like the CPU that the Mac Pro is going to use are not out yet for anybody else
[TS]
00:42:01
◼
►
but you can't buy a workstation from Dell with the CPU today so it seems like
[TS]
00:42:06
◼
►
we brought everything just waiting on that here's a big one tied to the Mac
[TS]
00:42:11
◼
►
Pro and I know you you you guys spoke about it on accident Dec prop podcast a
[TS]
00:42:16
◼
►
couple times everybody's talking about 04 case and misplace your just mentioned
[TS]
00:42:21
◼
►
it earlier in this show I think they've gotta do it I do I mean I guess got to
[TS]
00:42:27
◼
►
is maybe a little strong but I really I can't help it if they're gonna come out
[TS]
00:42:30
◼
►
with this fancy new Mac Pro and and spend the time to make all commercials
[TS]
00:42:35
◼
►
foreign stuff and and go with Syracuse en you know it's the race car in the
[TS]
00:42:41
◼
►
lineup right and it's capable of driving 34 K this blaze at the same time why
[TS]
00:42:49
◼
►
wouldn't they wanna sell a fork a display then to be one of them you know
[TS]
00:42:54
◼
►
the fork a display you hook up to it even if it's ungodly expensive because
[TS]
00:42:59
◼
►
they they that's the thing is I think that they're going with the Mac Pro is
[TS]
00:43:03
◼
►
it's really they're putting the pro back and pro where it really is you know they
[TS]
00:43:08
◼
►
can charge a lot more because they've got these consumer level products that
[TS]
00:43:12
◼
►
are a lot lower price and her great right the iMac is a great desktop
[TS]
00:43:16
◼
►
computer as a beautiful display and the MacBook Air is a great laptop and has a
[TS]
00:43:21
◼
►
good display so they can charge a lot more of some sort of premium for devices
[TS]
00:43:26
◼
►
with Retina displays and you know if you think well I don't know what do you
[TS]
00:43:31
◼
►
think like a fork a Apple Cinema Display might run man it will depend on the size
[TS]
00:43:37
◼
►
of the density to you know if if they just took the the 27 inch approximate
[TS]
00:43:42
◼
►
size like what they saw now give that for a resolution and I think it comes
[TS]
00:43:47
◼
►
pretty close to read you know it's not quite it's not a doubling of that
[TS]
00:43:51
◼
►
display today but it's it's like it's near doubling yeah there's another thing
[TS]
00:43:57
◼
►
since we would have to be bigger than just like the same thing
[TS]
00:44:00
◼
►
laptops they can call it written by by just fudging the distance of where we're
[TS]
00:44:06
◼
►
how far away
[TS]
00:44:07
◼
►
riser from the device I think that a right now and I don't you know I think
[TS]
00:44:12
◼
►
by their definition of what read the means I think that's actually not even
[TS]
00:44:15
◼
►
marketing trickery I think it's fair you know people stand tend to be about an
[TS]
00:44:20
◼
►
arms length away from a desktop display right so I i think if I mean you can
[TS]
00:44:25
◼
►
look there already are a few for his place in the market today and most of
[TS]
00:44:30
◼
►
them are like 32 inch size like they're they're bigger if Apple's able to get
[TS]
00:44:35
◼
►
good panel deals and is able to make a 27 @ Fourcade resolution first of all i
[TS]
00:44:41
◼
►
buy it in a heartbeat by two of them got knows second of all I would guess that a
[TS]
00:44:47
◼
►
$3,000 display and that's that's why I think they probably won't do it yet
[TS]
00:44:51
◼
►
see i think maybe why not why not well if you look historically when when the
[TS]
00:44:57
◼
►
original 30 inch Cinema Display came out I believe that the initial price for
[TS]
00:45:00
◼
►
$3500 it was over 3,000 and and that was a 2005 or something it was a long time
[TS]
00:45:07
◼
►
ago but that was back when Apple was still like Apple could release a $3,000
[TS]
00:45:13
◼
►
monitor and nobody would care but Apple's different company today you know
[TS]
00:45:17
◼
►
not not entirely different but everything they sell is under is really
[TS]
00:45:22
◼
►
designed much more for the mass market and is under much more scrutiny and they
[TS]
00:45:26
◼
►
they try to bring those prices the entry prices down over time and so you could
[TS]
00:45:31
◼
►
you could really good argument that maybe they won't do
[TS]
00:45:35
◼
►
desktop display at $3,000 maybe those who wait until that can be 1200 bucks
[TS]
00:45:40
◼
►
and do it that certainly not this year it's possible but I thought I tend to
[TS]
00:45:44
◼
►
think no I guess I think the whole idea of the Mac Pro is I would have been more
[TS]
00:45:49
◼
►
amenable to that argument before they unveiled the Mac Pro WBC because the new
[TS]
00:45:54
◼
►
Mac Pro to me says we're serious about selling really expensive high-end stuff
[TS]
00:46:01
◼
►
I could see that for the Mac the professional Mac market I think but
[TS]
00:46:05
◼
►
we'll be telling also if for some reason at the event they announced new Retina
[TS]
00:46:10
◼
►
MacBook Pros but they don't announce a new cinema display for
[TS]
00:46:13
◼
►
the reason I think it will be interesting to see I would assume the
[TS]
00:46:18
◼
►
new Retina MacBook Pro still available to ports and you can look at the Mac Pro
[TS]
00:46:23
◼
►
and it's wonderful to is the update the Thunderbolt that's fast enough to
[TS]
00:46:27
◼
►
support resolutions like for case 1 can't and or at least not in a good
[TS]
00:46:31
◼
►
frame rate so the Mac Pro there's there's good reasons for that to have
[TS]
00:46:36
◼
►
the normal to that are intimate you can argue that Matt cruisers might be using
[TS]
00:46:40
◼
►
those ports for future like high-end RAID arrays and account but kind of
[TS]
00:46:45
◼
►
replaced with Fibre Channel cards and stuff like that leaking a high-end I O
[TS]
00:46:50
◼
►
there's a lot less of a need for that on a modern retina MacBook Pro and a modern
[TS]
00:46:53
◼
►
laptop unless the main reason the nobel too is there is to drive giant
[TS]
00:47:00
◼
►
displays and that so I think if the laptop comes out with unable to port I
[TS]
00:47:06
◼
►
think right now displays are not that far behind ya I would like to see him
[TS]
00:47:10
◼
►
you think we're going to eat new MacBook Pros yet as we I mean it does nothing in
[TS]
00:47:16
◼
►
Tilden release those CPUs yet in June so I think it's one of the reasons we
[TS]
00:47:19
◼
►
didn't see it then but I'm guessing we see my ideal scenario is I don't care
[TS]
00:47:25
◼
►
about the iPad they can do whatever they want my deal to me that's about it
[TS]
00:47:29
◼
►
ideal scenario for for what we get next week is random a probe date with
[TS]
00:47:34
◼
►
honorable to Mac Pro announcement like price and ship date and you can go on
[TS]
00:47:40
◼
►
pre-order it now even if I can get it immediately and retina displays released
[TS]
00:47:45
◼
►
at the same time with them that would be my ideal event however if you look at
[TS]
00:47:49
◼
►
where the technology is for this reason is pleased with the pricing is where the
[TS]
00:47:53
◼
►
economics work out for the giant panels I i dont im not that confident to get
[TS]
00:47:59
◼
►
them this year I think we might still be another year out of there so I would say

that is kind of too big to be written out that resolution so they'd have to

get it might have to use a 27 inch size of that resolution to really get that to

00:49:04

for next week
[TS]
00:49:06
◼

here's just a basic idea just just just throw a wild card is what about
[TS]
00:49:12
◼
►
something that's more like an iPod Nano but actually running iOS that's
[TS]
00:49:20
◼
►
interesting I mean you can kind of argue that they they almost like accidentally
[TS]
00:49:25
◼
►
created the smart watch movement buying old nano just happened to be watch sized
[TS]
00:49:30
◼
►
kind of and having a wrist strap that somebody making Kickstarter like he can
[TS]
00:49:34
◼
►
kind of argue like that that would be an interesting way to get into that
[TS]
00:49:39
◼
►
wearables area that everyone's talking about right like I was some of these
[TS]
00:49:43
◼
►
smart watches that have come out it's like I forget which one it said it about
[TS]
00:49:47
◼
►
that it's like if you're not more elegant and look better on the wrist
[TS]
00:49:51
◼
►
then and two-year-old iPod Nano that was never designed to be worn as a watch on
[TS]
00:49:56
◼
►
your wrist then you've got a problem if you designing a product that is
[TS]
00:50:01
◼
►
specifically a watch I hurt my eyes with the one thing the reason I would like an
[TS]
00:50:07
◼
►
iPod Nano that runs iOS is for one thing and one thing only and that podcasts as
[TS]
00:50:13
◼
►
I would like to be able to just set up an iPod nano sized then and just have
[TS]
00:50:22
◼
►
that be the only place where I manage my podcasts or in theory like a few you
[TS]
00:50:28
◼
►
know if a really running I wish you could have afternoon
[TS]
00:50:31
◼
►
than somebody like say you could come out with a version of your app that ran
[TS]
00:50:36
◼
►
on that to sync between the front sinking would be great if multiple
[TS]
00:50:41
◼
►
versions of a podcast at but all I want is an iPod that automatically without me
[TS]
00:50:47
◼
►
plugging it in there anything other than occasionally charging it just is up to
[TS]
00:50:52
◼
►
date with podcasts I i think first of all I did was a big issue with battery
[TS]
00:50:58
◼
►
life on a watch and so I don't think we're anywhere near running a
[TS]
00:51:04
◼
►
full-featured OS like iOS on a watch list I think that the display is the
[TS]
00:51:09
◼
►
biggest power grab
[TS]
00:51:11
◼
►
I mean I probably but also radios would be a power grab
[TS]
00:51:14
◼
►
so I think of Apple goes into the watch area whether it's with just like kind of
[TS]
00:51:21
◼
►
a boosted up now or whether it's a separate product I think if they go into
[TS]
00:51:26
◼
►
the watch area I think it's just gonna be like a satellite device for your
[TS]
00:51:30
◼
►
phone for your iPhone or right and I say iOS and could be that it's just more iOS
[TS]
00:51:38
◼
►
like still running the the pic so wherever that is the thing that the iPod
[TS]
00:51:43
◼
►
still run but has some more features like that like maybe instead of you know
[TS]
00:51:50
◼
►
why I WiFi and Bluetooth and something else maybe it's just Bluetooth but he
[TS]
00:51:55
◼
►
uses the Bluetooth 4.0 energy and and I'll West companion app can just push
[TS]
00:52:01
◼
►
this podcast right or the watch does not store all the Pakistan at the watch is
[TS]
00:52:08
◼
►
more like a Bluetooth headset looks like it just it can receive the audio from
[TS]
00:52:12
◼
►
your iPhone and I think you're right I think that you know if Apple were to
[TS]
00:52:17
◼
►
release a watch it I think it's pretty obvious that bluetooth for low-energy
[TS]
00:52:21
◼
►
would be to me
[TS]
00:52:22
◼
►
medication protocol and it might even be its only radio and if you think about
[TS]
00:52:26
◼
►
like what would make an awesome SmartWatch you can argue you know the
[TS]
00:52:30
◼
►
case you go outside and exercise right I do sometimes ok I'm not familiar with
[TS]
00:52:35
◼
►
that world and a lot of people do that a lot of people don't bring their phones
[TS]
00:52:38
◼
►
because they want to drop them or damage them or the you know that's sports
[TS]
00:52:41
◼
►
clothes don't really have deep secure pockets
[TS]
00:52:43
◼
►
so I run buck naked yeah well I mean you might as well the pockets on most
[TS]
00:52:49
◼
►
running shorts are terrible it's safe so there's that market of you know people
[TS]
00:52:55
◼
►
who want to exercise you don't want to have their phone on them and so
[TS]
00:52:58
◼
►
obviously a SmartWatch in that kind of context would be less useful though I'm
[TS]
00:53:01
◼
►
describing it but you know I think Apple's whole thing with the digital hub
[TS]
00:53:06
◼
►
the Mac being the digital her back and a fifty years ago now whatever that was
[TS]
00:53:09
◼
►
the thing is that was a great idea and that was crushed the time overall though
[TS]
00:53:15
◼
►
now special the modern era that that was correct but the digital home is now the
[TS]
00:53:20
◼
►
phone right your smartphone is your digital hub for everything now because
[TS]
00:53:25
◼
►
it's it's with you all the time
[TS]
00:53:26
◼
►
right like you know now I'm obviously very to the podcast thing now and you
[TS]
00:53:32
◼
►
know my theory is always been you know people ask me if I'm gonna do like like
[TS]
00:53:35
◼
►
stitcher popular client they they go work with all the car manufacturers to
[TS]
00:53:40
◼
►
try to get car integration for stitcher so that you can like runs that you're
[TS]
00:53:44
◼
►
like a right on your head unit or have your phone like plug into your car and
[TS]
00:53:49
◼
►
everything and I i think the market for that is pretty limited and I think it's
[TS]
00:53:53
◼
►
not it's a great use of effort because ultimately like the best way to listen
[TS]
00:53:59
◼
►
to podcast in your car is to is to use a phone that can play audio over Bluetooth
[TS]
00:54:04
◼
►
and have your car you know a lot of cars are getting Bluetooth filtering down
[TS]
00:54:08
◼
►
pretty well and even lower end models and so like the audio in the car problem
[TS]
00:54:13
◼
►
is now being solved and it's just your phone planes have a bluetooth Internet
[TS]
00:54:17
◼
►
and the cars same way to car manufacturers try to put internet
[TS]
00:54:20
◼
►
connectivity in the cars and and really the best way to do to suggest having on
[TS]
00:54:24
◼
►
your phone and maybe at best have your cart with your phone you know that may
[TS]
00:54:29
◼
►
be able to go there in the future but ultimately the phone is the center of
[TS]
00:54:32
◼
►
everything now it's it's very you have the data connection I don't think we're
[TS]
00:54:37
◼
►
gonna see a future where everything has donated radio I think that I think the
[TS]
00:54:40
◼
►
carriers gonna lock that worldwide pretty effectively or make it really in
[TS]
00:54:44
◼
►
feasible economically for customers wait we're gonna make me happy like a billion
[TS]
00:54:50
◼
►
devices that you don't all have their own salary
[TS]
00:54:53
◼
►
the connections like I don't think we're going to see that for a long time if
[TS]
00:54:56
◼
►
ever you know ultimately I think again
[TS]
00:54:59
◼
►
everything's going through the phone right now that's the way to do it a
[TS]
00:55:01
◼
►
really powerful it's very it's that's where the market is that that's what the
[TS]
00:55:06
◼
►
market is doing whether whether it's technologically ideal are conceptually
[TS]
00:55:10
◼
►
ideal that the market is doing so for a SmartWatch to just be a phone accessory
[TS]
00:55:14
◼
►
basically to be a window into the data on your phone and 40 use all the radio
[TS]
00:55:20
◼
►
on your phone except for the one super low power Bluetooth le one you know that
[TS]
00:55:25
◼
►
would have itself like a wash with GPS that would never work as the batteries
[TS]
00:55:29
◼
►
are way too small so you can look at all that stuff I think a watch that any
[TS]
00:55:33
◼
►
smart watch it comes out in a couple years actually good is probably gonna
[TS]
00:55:36
◼
►
have that kind of design and so whether Apple's gonna have like your own podcast
[TS]
00:55:41
◼
►
I don't think that's going to be it I think it's gonna be your gonna play
[TS]
00:55:45
◼
►
podcast on your phone and play it through your watch if that's what you
[TS]
00:55:48
◼
►
really want or you just gonna ignore that capability just play with
[TS]
00:55:52
◼
►
headphones in your focal I don't know I just can't help but think that there's
[TS]
00:55:56
◼
►
gotta be a way for the thing and you know i i in this is really pushing it to
[TS]
00:56:01
◼
►
say that what if it was really more like a full iPod Touch but just shrunk to
[TS]
00:56:05
◼
►
that Nana size and it had WiFi too that would it would make it work it would
[TS]
00:56:14
◼
►
make it usable with iTunes Radia I mean you know who knows is iTunes radio
[TS]
00:56:19
◼
►
something they see is that important that they would engineer the devices to
[TS]
00:56:23
◼
►
be able to support it i I don't know but it just sounds good question it just
[TS]
00:56:27
◼
►
seems to me though that like maybe we collectively of all sort of taking your
[TS]
00:56:32
◼
►
eyes off the iPod line up in terms of the potential for future improvements
[TS]
00:56:38
◼
►
and that there you know you couldn't make it much smaller right that's the
[TS]
00:56:44
◼
►
iPod Nano if your gonna put a screen on the device there's not much room there
[TS]
00:56:48
◼
►
for you no more than a finger already so small that you kind of wish it was
[TS]
00:56:53
◼
►
bigger easier to use and be less likely to lose it
[TS]
00:56:57
◼
►
my iPod Nano is literally as I speak it's been lost for like four days
[TS]
00:57:01
◼
►
somewhere
[TS]
00:57:02
◼
►
hopefully here in my office but but I feel like me now that they've shrunk to
[TS]
00:57:08
◼
►
the size now they can use advances in technology and battery life and stuff
[TS]
00:57:12
◼
►
like that take get it to do more on software maybe put some little antennas
[TS]
00:57:16
◼
►
in there and i just i just some dispute by maybe I just don't see it happening
[TS]
00:57:23
◼
►
radios are so power hungry and watches are so small at like there to make it I
[TS]
00:57:29
◼
►
mean like you have a pebble have you seen what I do have the people it's
[TS]
00:57:33
◼
►
ridiculously big eight when you see on somebody's rest unless they like a giant
[TS]
00:57:36
◼
►
football Blair it looks like it's it's like the modern calculator watch it is
[TS]
00:57:45
◼
►
actually have Iranian my hand as I speak it in its its big but it's there
[TS]
00:57:50
◼
►
actually are a lot bigger watches on the market
[TS]
00:57:53
◼
►
men's wristwatches the trend over the last couple of years has been to get
[TS]
00:57:57
◼
►
bigger and some of them are actually preposterous Liebig way bigger than
[TS]
00:58:01
◼
►
people so it's not just size alone but if you just go and look at like just go
[TS]
00:58:09
◼
►
to the mall and look at like watched or just look at a jewelry store and look at
[TS]
00:58:14
◼
►
some of the men's watches you'll see some that are really pretty a lot bigger
[TS]
00:58:16
◼
►
than people but it looks it doesn't sit right on the wrist
[TS]
00:58:20
◼
►
you know the ones that are real big hard you know watches as jewelry
[TS]
00:58:25
◼
►
their big for the you know there purposefully big it's not that they
[TS]
00:58:29
◼
►
couldn't make them smaller it's you know it's showing off this watch you know
[TS]
00:58:35
◼
►
it's Jory whereas the pebble is is just big I don't think it's possible to make
[TS]
00:58:42
◼
►
a smart watch that doesn't take a SmartWatch that looks as nice fashion
[TS]
00:58:48
◼
►
wise as like a jewellery watch I know in some ways because jewelry watches are
[TS]
00:58:57
◼
►
made of materials like stainless steel or
[TS]
00:59:00
◼
►
even higher and gold and I guess you could make one out of that could be a
[TS]
00:59:06
◼
►
smart watch with you know when I go you know shirley Apple works a lot with
[TS]
00:59:10
◼
►
aluminum that has more refined italic appearance but it's one of the things we
[TS]
00:59:16
◼
►
wish you call it a wide is one of the reasons round Hassan el what if what if
[TS]
00:59:20
◼
►
they really pushed the the borders on what we think an iPod can do I can iPod
[TS]
00:59:24
◼
►
nano and iPod touch and iPad now is has been the way that I've been sort of
[TS]
00:59:29
◼
►
thinking in my head of what could this so-called I watched it is what's the
[TS]
00:59:33
◼
►
difference other than whether it's on a strap that goes on your roster not what
[TS]
00:59:37
◼
►
we're talking about our little roughly incised peripherals to your iPhone right
[TS]
00:59:44
◼
►
the same thing and so what do you know why not make one that doesn't even have
[TS]
00:59:48
◼
►
a strap that you click on to people who don't want to work on the wrist or
[TS]
00:59:51
◼
►
whatever I think the problem was calling it a watch in particular and then to me
[TS]
00:59:58
◼
►
if they came out with a thin it was just called the the new iPod nano and in fact
[TS]
01:00:02
◼
►
it has all of these or or some of these SmartWatch style integration Bluetooth
[TS]
01:00:08
◼
►
back and forth features makes a lot more sense marketing wise cuz you can sell
[TS]
01:00:12
◼
►
and everybody knows what an iPod is in the cost like 200 250 300 dollars
[TS]
01:00:17
◼
►
depending on the size and they can just put that right in there and it'll just
[TS]
01:00:20
◼
►
sell better than you know the two year old iPod Nano we have now cells whereas
[TS]
01:00:26
◼
►
if they call it a watch it they run into this written really hard market because
[TS]
01:00:31
◼
►
most people who do where where a wristwatch I'm guessing probably spend
[TS]
01:00:35
◼
►
somewhere around
[TS]
01:00:36
◼
►
round 50 to $100 on the watch that's typical price for like a watch if you
[TS]
01:00:42
◼
►
just go to Amazon and search for watches you see a lot of watches the 50 bucks
[TS]
01:00:47
◼
►
like what people like they have a bar watching the eighth grade but a high-end
[TS]
01:00:55
◼
►
watch costs thousands of dollars right I can you watch like from Omega Rolex or
[TS]
01:01:00
◼
►
one of those type companies is is two three four thousand dollars at the low
[TS]
01:01:05
◼
►
end of their lines and you know goes up from there depending on you know whether
[TS]
01:01:08
◼
►
it's made of gold and stuff like that so how do they make a wide say when is the
[TS]
01:01:12
◼
►
last time Apple's ever made a product that isn't the best of whatever is on
[TS]
01:01:16
◼
►
the on the market at least in some people's minds I saw there are those
[TS]
01:01:20
◼
►
like solid gold blackberries and then the company 142 yeah there's those I
[TS]
01:01:25
◼
►
mean you know there is a defect I think it is in some sense because I think the
[TS]
01:01:31
◼
►
thing with over two is that what the iPhone revealed with burt to virtue
[TS]
01:01:36
◼
►
everywhere pronounce it wasn't that they were making actual luxury cell phones is
[TS]
01:01:42
◼
►
that they were pantomime luxury cell phones they faked it with just literally
[TS]
01:01:48
◼
►
putting luxurious shell around at $15 Nokia's Symbian from that it wasn't
[TS]
01:01:57
◼
►
actually luxurious whereas when you buy a Rolex and you spend five six thousand
[TS]
01:02:04
◼
►
dollars are never on it you're getting a watch that truly has by all accounts and
[TS]
01:02:08
◼
►
exquisite mechanical movement inside it's not just that you're paying for the
[TS]
01:02:14
◼
►
brand in you get an ice cold exterior around the same internals as you know a
[TS]
01:02:20
◼
►
$50 watch from Amazon you know really is a nice now whether it's worth you know
[TS]
01:02:25
◼
►
spending their money on its obviously it's something that appeals to people
[TS]
01:02:28
◼
►
who aren't you know in the white collecting watches keeps better time but
[TS]
01:02:33
◼
►
it is in in a in a sense to some people clearly a superior product whereas the
[TS]
01:02:39
◼
►
virtue was not it was never actually a better product it was literally just the
[TS]
01:02:43
◼
►
exact same internal got says phones the Nokia sold for like 15 bucks
[TS]
01:02:47
◼
►
right so I mean do you think there is do you think there is anyway that Apple
[TS]
01:02:53
◼
►
could even compete in that high N watch market or do you mean because that would
[TS]
01:02:58
◼

be the wrong goal right because even though in a feeling it's different from
[TS]
01:03:02
◼

say selling a $3,000 for cable monitor which is only meant relay you know
[TS]
01:03:09

and iPod there is no proline you know you can come out of the pro version of

01:03:24
◼

the watch that cost $4,000 because it looks as nice as a Rolex maybe I am i
[TS]
01:03:32
◼

that's why i think its better to think about Apple's entry in this is as some
[TS]
01:03:36
◼

kind of iPod or even just call it iPod watch I don't know I mean that way even
[TS]
01:03:41
◼

if they don't even call it a watch even if they just let the iPod Nano you know
[TS]
01:03:46

give it a bluetooth for radio right let it show notifications from your iPhone

Smart Covers to be in a green oh it's part of the road develop it wasn't just

01:04:08

something they came up with the day and the whole process of developing it was
[TS]
01:04:11
◼

meant for that it might be designed from the get go to have a wrist strap
[TS]
01:04:16
◼

it's entirely possible that the SmartWatch market is just not exist and

he gets its internally we we we as the tech industry have been so have been
[TS]
01:04:24
◼

talking about this forever but it's very possible that nobody wants these things
[TS]
01:04:28
◼

as if that would that would kinda be away for Apple to like dip their tone it
[TS]
01:04:31

very gently and in a way that if it doesn't sell well it's not like a
[TS]
01:04:35

massive PR problem for them forever
[TS]
01:04:37
◼

yeah and I think that it's sort of way marketing lies the and i know i kno
[TS]
01:04:42
◼

don't you know what is right and I know they filed a whole bunch of trade marks
[TS]
01:04:46

around the world for in

01:04:47
◼
►
watch and let me just I guess here for a second and say that I I have received I
[TS]
01:04:52
◼
►
think this may be one of the most common single most common emails I received
[TS]
01:04:56
◼
►
over the last like five months which is why I watch has nothing to do with the
[TS]
01:05:02
◼
►
wrist watch but it's actually the name of the new Apple TV because get it i
[TS]
01:05:05
◼
►
watch you watch the TV also like you can't you can't keep a trademark in most
[TS]
01:05:12
◼
►
conditions without using it after a while you can you can refile it but not
[TS]
01:05:17
◼
►
that far before you start using it and other and you have to use otherwise you
[TS]
01:05:21
◼
►
lose it like it's possibly could have filed them defensively so that no one
[TS]
01:05:27
◼
►
else could create something called the iPad see that's what I think they did
[TS]
01:05:29
◼
►
and here's the reason they're gonna have to use it for something well let's or at
[TS]
01:05:35
◼
►
least keep people from coming out with an iWatch soon right right like Apple
[TS]
01:05:40
◼
►
comes out with a thing and at least for the next two years or whatever the limit
[TS]
01:05:43
◼
►
is trademarks nobody came out with an iWatch in by the time their unused I
[TS]
01:05:47
◼
►
watched trademark expires it's too late because they've already you know
[TS]
01:05:51
◼
►
dominated the market with the product that did come out with under different
[TS]
01:05:55
◼
►
but anyway here's the thing i watch being right underneath earners is the
[TS]
01:06:00
◼
►
name of the Apple TV product the trademark applications that they filed
[TS]
01:06:03
◼
►
around the world do you can't just filing they may have to say what it does
[TS]
01:06:07
◼
►
and they all say something about you know that it's a watch right trademark
[TS]
01:06:12
◼
►
you have to cuz you could really something called the iWatch thats a
[TS]
01:06:17
◼
►
watch and then somebody else give me like a piece of industrial equipment
[TS]
01:06:21
◼
►
that makes bread called the iWatch and that would not be likely conflict right
[TS]
01:06:26
◼
►
still gonna be sure to specify what like what areas being used in and the
[TS]
01:06:35
◼
►
Trademark Office in the us- tries to push that to be as narrow as possible so
[TS]
01:06:41
◼
►
no I do not I think there's a chance that I watches actually Apple TV or some
[TS]
01:06:46
◼
►
kind of TV product even
[TS]
01:06:48
◼
►
and I feel like it's it's not even a good name for that I think everybody has
[TS]
01:06:52
◼
►
come up with that you're being you're overthinking it it's too clever no it
[TS]
01:06:56
◼
►
wouldn't it wouldn't work writer's name of an apple of a product to watch on TV
[TS]
01:07:01
◼
►
have also never never used the I prefix I have they ever used as a verb like
[TS]
01:07:07
◼
►
know now and I think that it's another reason that they wouldn't kind of weird
[TS]
01:07:13
◼
►
why people say you shouldn't say I touch I don't hear people saying that anymore
[TS]
01:07:21
◼
►
but maybe it's because I don't see many people using their there on the Apple
[TS]
01:07:25
◼
►
Store the itouch I do think though and I think just circling back a minute or two
[TS]
01:07:31
◼
►
to something you said about the name and setting expectations I feel like it's
[TS]
01:07:35
◼
►
almost the opposite problem with iPhone where we all know now in a lot of us
[TS]
01:07:41
◼
►
realized early on that the iPhone wasn't really a phone it was a little pocket
[TS]
01:07:46
◼
►
computer and it just had fun features you know that the brilliance of it was
[TS]
01:07:50
◼
►
that they've taken all of all of being a cell phone and just turned it into two
[TS]
01:07:55
◼
►
apps phone and messages by three if you count contacts right that they just took
[TS]
01:08:00
◼
►
these phone features and including making phone calls and now it's just a
[TS]
01:08:04
◼
►
nap on this general purpose device but calling it the iPhone really helped pave
[TS]
01:08:11
◼
►
the way for why you know just entering the market and why people would want one
[TS]
01:08:15
◼
►
because people are already the world that Western world was already all set
[TS]
01:08:19
◼
►
on you know
[TS]
01:08:20
◼
►
I need a cell phone i buy a new one every two years and it it framed it well
[TS]
01:08:26
◼
►
whereas I feel like some kind of smart iPods dial size thing that even if you
[TS]
01:08:33
◼
►
wear on your watch calling it a watch set up all of these wrong expectations
[TS]
01:08:37
◼
►
that you don't want to enter the market with that name I but me and I could be
[TS]
01:08:43
◼
►
wrong number I'm terrible at guessing Apple product names yeah I mean they
[TS]
01:08:47
◼
►
also a lot of times they will choose the name that the market wants it to be
[TS]
01:08:52
◼
►
called like the iPhone 5 mad about my phone sex
[TS]
01:08:59
◼
►
well i just it wasn't the fourth iPhone right the iPhone 4 was the fourth I
[TS]
01:09:03
◼
►
found that made sense a 45 was not the fifth and the whole public was like four
[TS]
01:09:08
◼
►
years but when the Foresters least this wasn't a real iPhone 5 we want an iPhone
[TS]
01:09:13
◼
►
5 so the next year Apple gave them something called the iPhone 5 and they
[TS]
01:09:17
◼
►
complain a little bit less and it just felt like giving in to it that would be
[TS]
01:09:21
◼
►
like someday as like a wouldn't it be great like it would be great like 10 15
[TS]
01:09:28
◼
►
years from now to like get like Phil Schiller and just do like it would be
[TS]
01:09:36
◼
►
like a big book but you can do like a little mini book and just do a book just
[TS]
01:09:40
◼
►
just based on how they keep you know the fights they had over product names for
[TS]
01:09:46
◼
►
like 20 or 30 years did you know that there were you know people have pointed
[TS]
01:09:50
◼
►
that out with an Apple it wasn't like somebody you know said iPhone 5 and
[TS]
01:09:53
◼
►
think about it but like just look at the fact that the way things are now where
[TS]
01:09:58
◼
►
they've iPhone still get to number every year but then it gets an ass some years
[TS]
01:10:05
◼
►
and the whole iPhone 5 see doesn't make a lot of sense either because at least
[TS]
01:10:13
◼
►
up until the five see when they had with the foreign for us and the 3G and 3G s
[TS]
01:10:20
◼
►
at least it meant they were case compatible
[TS]
01:10:23
◼
►
that it was the same form factor and that's why they're not bumping the
[TS]
01:10:27
◼
►
number so that if you found a case that fit your iPhone 4 and I have an iphone4s
[TS]
01:10:32
◼
►
you just stick it right in and have died from 5s you can put it in words the
[TS]
01:10:36
◼
►
iPhone 5 see it has a name but it breaks that it's an all new form factor doesn't
[TS]
01:10:41
◼
►
make any sense at all I think it's that they they want the name to just makes
[TS]
01:10:45
◼
►
sense today and they don't really care if it makes sense
[TS]
01:10:49
◼
►
historically you know so you know they can I find like that's why I think next
[TS]
01:10:54
◼
►
year I think we're gonna have if they decide to use number six which cultures
[TS]
01:10:59
◼
►
find it unlucky so maybe we'll skip but if they decide to use a number six then
[TS]
01:11:04
◼
►
I think we're gonna have the iPhone 616 e even though there was like a six seed
[TS]
01:11:10
◼
►
would kind of be like the 5 S's internals in something called the sixth
[TS]
01:11:15
◼
►
seal I get it doesn't make logical sense right
[TS]
01:11:18
◼
►
historically but if you look at the product line as it will probably just
[TS]
01:11:22
◼
►
next year and you figure is going to be a cheaper plastic one and a nice metal
[TS]
01:11:26
◼
►
on probably gonna be the sixth and the sexy I was see I was thinking maybe the
[TS]
01:11:30
◼
►
six and that five ccs I mean they they've already with the 5s they've
[TS]
01:11:38
◼
►
already like ruined everyone's minds and editors and typists others have no idea
[TS]
01:11:42
◼
►
what to do so the five having other women engineers I guess would be that
[TS]
01:11:46
◼
►
bad but I just don't see it happening because that would make it look all I
[TS]
01:11:52
◼
►
think next year but at the same time with the the the siblings in the lineup
[TS]
01:11:58
◼
►
the iPad they've dropped you know the numbers and it's just iPad and iPad 3rd
[TS]

◼
►
called the iPad 3 they just said here is the new iPad
[TS]
01:12:16
◼
►

[TS]
01:12:21
◼
►
what they have to do and they've always done for years and years and years with
[TS]

01:15:58
◼
►
little screw in there as you can imagine if you want it was it was great it is a
[TS]
01:16:01
◼
►
serious packaging it's like it's like a real serious well-thought out almost
[TS]
01:16:06
◼
►
like an origami like cardboard arrangement that that secures the thing
[TS]
01:16:13
◼

and buffers it against you know any kind of miss
[TS]
01:16:15
◼

01:16:31
◼

audience that sounds cool you trust me I like it they really do a great job too
[TS]
01:16:36
◼

great service so what else could they do next week gotta have some software right
[TS]
01:16:42
◼
►
something's gotta be demoed you can't have a device without software to them
[TS]
01:16:46
◼
►
but they've already unveiled Iowa seven so yeah it looks to you know I was
[TS]
01:16:51
◼
►
obviously different on an iPad and iPhone but it's not that different so I
[TS]
01:16:55
◼
►
feel like they need apps to demo on the balcony with Mavericks are probably not
[TS]
01:17:03
◼
►
I wonder about the match here so here's my thing I think they're going to do new
[TS]
01:17:08
◼
►
iLife works for iOS and probably I work saps because they just made a big deal
[TS]
01:17:15
◼
►
over the fact that they're so they're the most popular mobile office apps you
[TS]
01:17:20
◼
►
know smartphones
[TS]
01:17:23
◼
►
I think they said in the keynote at EDC I think they said that an update to
[TS]
01:17:27
◼
►
iLife iWork for the Mac was coming but they're still at the 09 and they're very
[TS]
01:17:34
◼
►
old and I still use them all the time if it still works just fine but they really
[TS]
01:17:39
◼
►
could use an update to new features the only thing since 2009 is that iCloud
[TS]
01:17:45
◼
►
support really I mean I mean I'm sure there's a bug fixes and some minor
[TS]
01:17:49
◼
►
things but in terms of what you would actually think off the top of your head
[TS]
01:17:52
◼
►
it's just like lets the same features from the same number still has all the
[TS]
01:17:58
◼
►
same capabilities it had back then just plus I cloud that's it and I think that
[TS]
01:18:03
◼
►
could make if they did both iOS and Mac versions and it doesn't seem like what
[TS]
01:18:08
◼
►
you're asking for too much to hope that they did both but on the other hand it's
[TS]
01:18:11
◼
►
been so many years since the Mac version
[TS]
01:18:14
◼
►
major revision it doesn't seem like you're asking for much I mean presumably
[TS]
01:18:17
◼
►
there you know they still have full-time teams who work on the iWork Mac apps
[TS]
01:18:22
◼
►
they've gotta be have been working on something maybe this is kind of a
[TS]
01:18:25
◼
►
problem that Microsoft has been with upgrade revenue an office like we have
[TS]
01:18:30
◼
►
had a meeting for work update since 2009 and it's not that big of a problem like
[TS]
01:18:36
◼
►
it doesn't like I still uses as I said you like numbers almost every day in his
[TS]
01:18:40
◼
►
keynote couple times a year and I would like two features but they still work
[TS]
01:18:46
◼
►
just fine and I every time I use them I don't notice oh my god this is so old
[TS]
01:18:52
◼
►
right where Microsoft Office being like every two or three years like trying to
[TS]
01:18:57
◼
►
try to get people to pay for the upgrade is probably a nightmare that I that's
[TS]
01:18:59
◼
►
why they want to move to subscriptions to whereas the iOS versions look ancient
[TS]
01:19:04
◼
►
because they look like iOS 6 apps right and you know as time goes on I mean I
[TS]
01:19:10
◼
►
think everybody agrees even people who don't like iOS 7 don't like the visual
[TS]
01:19:15
◼
►
direction they went I think even they have to acknowledge that the old App
[TS]
01:19:19
◼
►
Store stick out like sore thumbs so that I feel like they almost have to have iOS
[TS]
01:19:23
◼
►
versions of these apps are they even built with the seven SDK yet but do they
[TS]
01:19:28
◼
►
show the seven keyboard no I don't think so
[TS]
01:19:32

all the resource files and seven it includes a complete copy of the entire

01:19:46
◼

UI from six so it can run those apps like in their simulation mode for iOS 6
[TS]
01:19:52
◼

and it sucks because the keyboard is just so slightly different between six
[TS]
01:19:58
◼

and seven in a few ways and enough that like once used to 12 typos and other one
[TS]
01:20:03
◼

I have definitely found it to be a case has not updated 47 now cos like anything
[TS]
01:20:12

with text input because you use you hit a problem hard especially

01:20:19

trip I probably the one that I had the most in because it's probably the Arab

typing on iOS is in messages and email and they're obviously they're built into

01:20:36
◼

their updated so that's where I sort of acclimated to the new keyboard on safari
[TS]
01:20:41
◼

you know typing in forms and so far and stuff like that so we put the keyboard
[TS]
01:20:45

really does scare me every time baby side that besides liking a Deming I work
[TS]
01:20:53

01:21:19
◼

01:21:26
◼

iPad 2 Smart watching a TV you know if they're gonna cry while the stuff into
[TS]
01:21:30
◼
►
one event maybe they don't have time to do in-depth software demos like that and
[TS]
01:21:36
◼

so maybe the iPad section of the update will just be about you know a little bit
[TS]
01:21:41
◼

of iOS 7 plus like new iPad models prices specs and then move on I think
[TS]
01:21:48

think they've gotta have new versions got to be a mean you could say that
[TS]
01:22:50
◼

about a lot of things that they don't have a lot of things that have to be
[TS]
01:22:54

back for you know for a while but I get you right now that it is it's like more

in-your-face there that it sold machiavelli noticed day-to-day use on on

01:23:04

the iOS 7 you really do this when things are not up to it and there's other
[TS]
01:23:09
◼

little things to like that so they they and i've seen people see some people
[TS]
01:23:16
◼

have written to me about the fact that iOS 6 maps get these old UI controls a
[TS]
01:23:21
◼

why not given bored why they make them and I'm not sure how much of that is
[TS]
01:23:29
◼
►
technical about what version of the SDK apps are compiled against what they can
[TS]
01:23:34
◼
►
expect and how much of it is what they actually do kinda wanna make you look
[TS]
01:23:38
◼
►
absolutely dated because they want you to update they want that gentle pressure
[TS]
01:23:44
◼
►
to update and recompiling redesign for Iowa so sorry that I i think if you if
[TS]
01:23:51
◼
►
you consider what an outfit look like if it had like half iOS 7 style stuff and
[TS]
01:23:57
◼
►
half Iowa $6 does it would look bad and it would have potentially big problems
[TS]
01:24:03
◼
►
and so I think they just did it this way because an app that has elements of both
[TS]
01:24:09
◼
►
mixed in haphazardly is a way worse situation for everybody involved and
[TS]
01:24:13
◼
►
those making it look like a good look exactly like that I was six and there
[TS]
01:24:18
◼
►
are some things that are updated like you I alert is new everywhere although
[TS]
01:24:23
◼
►
you get a different app down color you get like that bright blue color
[TS]
01:24:28
◼
►
updated out some of the things to like the the milk impose sheet you can call
[TS]
01:24:32
◼
►
up from action sheet that's right you know but but still yet most of it is iOS
[TS]
01:24:37
◼
►
6 style and I think it's just because it would just break so many things if they
[TS]
01:24:43
◼

tried to mix in more elements of seven is that you I this is is a complete

people holding out and not willfully not upgrading to iOS 7 and how many are
[TS]
01:25:09
◼

there is is it going to be bigger this year
[TS]
01:25:11
◼
►
yes we did see another huge first week upgrade to iOS 7 and at one point was
[TS]
01:25:19
◼
►
tracking faster than I was six dead as updates but maybe there will be because
[TS]
01:25:23
◼

of the changes are so different and some people feel so strongly about them maybe
[TS]
01:25:27
◼

there will be a bigger contingent this time that holds for us what we talked
[TS]
01:25:31
◼

about one thing we didn't talk about it I guess I don't think it just didn't
[TS]
01:25:36
◼

occur to us but a bunch of people wrote to me and said here's why I'm staying
[TS]
01:25:40
◼

with I was sex I am iPhone is jailbroken and I want to keep it jailbroken Forex
[TS]
01:25:45
◼
►
wide reasons XYZ and a lot of the people who wrote me a perfectly valid reasons
[TS]
01:25:50
◼
►
you know some people is because there you know they live in a country or
[TS]
01:25:53
◼
►
something where you need it jailbroken phone to get in on the network you
[TS]
01:25:56
◼
►
wanted on or something like that but the thing is is that I was 7 has not yet
[TS]
01:26:00
◼
►
been jailbroken really I didn't realize that I don't pay too much attention to
[TS]
01:26:05
◼

it but I that surprises me because I don't jailbreak and I don't really care
[TS]
01:26:09
◼
►
about it and restore have strong feelings about it I i I hadn't really
[TS]
01:26:13
◼

thought about that but once the readers pointed out to me I realized that I
[TS]
01:26:18
◼

hadn't seen the holy cow Iowa seven is jailbroken day on technique which you
[TS]
01:26:27
◼
►
know everything every previous year it's always been presented as you know
[TS]
01:26:31
◼
►
some kind of scandal that iPhone new version of iOS has been jailbroken
[TS]
01:26:35
◼
►
jailbreaking is always a lot more popular than people like us think it is
[TS]
01:26:41
◼
►
I definitely know that definitely well you know and I think you know and I even
[TS]
01:26:47
◼
►
a I know that it's true but I know that I always lapse into forgetting that it's
[TS]
01:26:51
◼
►
true just like on last week's show right like I it wouldn't surprise me at all if
[TS]
01:26:58
◼
►
a sizable chunk like seventy percent of something I think it's a mariner it
[TS]
01:27:05
◼
►
would surprise me at all if like 15 percent of that like 15 percent total
[TS]
01:27:09
◼
►
was jumper and that's why those people are holding on that would not surprise
[TS]
01:27:13
◼
►
me at all because it's really very popular especially in certain parts of
[TS]
01:27:18
◼
►
the world's most everyone jumper and certain communities of like certain
[TS]
01:27:22
◼
►
kinds of nerds and and certain kinds of people with certain needs or people who
[TS]
01:27:26
◼
►
want to tethering hack or something like that like it's very very popular and
[TS]
01:27:32
◼
►
said that wouldn't surprise me at all that was a big chunk of it I didn't even
[TS]
01:27:35
◼
►
realize that they've gotten so fat generally with new releases it always
[TS]
01:27:41
◼
►
pops up whenever there's a like a game developer and you know i think is its
[TS]
01:27:47
◼
►
jailbreaking clearly skews younger you know it's like a teenager and twenties
[TS]
01:27:52
◼
►
type thing I think just in broad terms I mean I'm sure that there's people of
[TS]
01:27:56
◼
►
every agent jailbreak for whatever reason but you know it's a hacker type
[TS]
01:27:59
◼
►
thing and so do you know games are popular one of the big things
[TS]
01:28:05
◼
►
job ratings you know it it becomes possible to pirate games and whenever
[TS]
01:28:10
◼
►
developers release numbers with developers have like an online part of
[TS]
01:28:14
◼
►
the game so they can see how many users they have you know they end up with
[TS]
01:28:17
◼
►
these user numbers that are way higher than the page number of a positive so
[TS]
01:28:24
◼
►
even like i I had
[TS]
01:28:27
◼
►
Instapaper ahead integrated crash Linux which is this this crash tracking thing
[TS]
01:28:32
◼
►
and they are analytics they will tell you for each crash what percentage of
[TS]
01:28:38
◼
►
the people who had that crash are jailbroken to the day just try to attack
[TS]
01:28:41
◼
►
that which is useful to know so
[TS]
01:28:43
◼
►
I had this one crash it was affecting like a nicely even slice of the market
[TS]
01:28:49
◼
►
like it wasn't just affecting a certain edge case it was affecting like you know
[TS]
01:28:52
◼
►
every tenth person or something like that every so often so it was it was a
[TS]
01:28:56
◼
►
nicely their random slice of the of the user base and it was something like
[TS]
01:29:00
◼
►
twenty percent jump and certainly in strippers user base is probably more
[TS]
01:29:04
◼
►
geeky than the average but not by as much as you think and that's history
[TS]
01:29:08
◼
►
that's an incredible number or a non-game
[TS]
01:29:12
◼
►
that is pretty widespread and isn't all nerds or isn't all people of a certain
[TS]
01:29:18
◼
►
country that's really incredible so I wonder with iOS 7 not yet been
[TS]
01:29:26
◼
►
jailbroken is just the luck of the draw you know like I'm in no way that these
[TS]
01:29:31
◼
►
jailbreaks work my layman's understanding is that the jailbreak
[TS]
01:29:35
◼
►
community looks for or hordes even exploits where they can get code to run
[TS]
01:29:40
◼
►
and then once they can get code to run through some sort of exploit and the OS
[TS]
01:29:45
◼

they know the certain you know pads that they can take and which files to modify
[TS]
01:29:50

in the system to you know defeat the aspects of the OS that you know that

jailbreaking is meant to

that their hard-earned you know as the years have gone on and apples added more
[TS]
01:30:07
◼

security features you know randomizing memory locations and stuff like that
[TS]
01:30:14

that it's just gotten harder to defeat or or maybe you know has a pool done
[TS]
01:30:21
◼

something specifically with the desire of Iowa specifically to make it harder
[TS]
01:30:25
◼

to jailbreak it's always been very unclear to me just how strongly Apple
[TS]
01:30:30
◼

feels like it at the executive level about jailbreaking and how much you know
[TS]
01:30:35
◼

they should bother to sort of try to defeat it

[TS]
01:32:05

second of all every time a police is anything new

modern computing society in any way and hold on to a really old version of

if you know the screen fails or like you know the home button fails like it did

sometimes in the four like if any any any failure to require replacement or if

you ever need to do like you know a fresh install and I think you can do a

01:32:58

fresh install the same person you have but you know worse case scenario when

this phone is no longer that usual cause the batteries terrible in two years and

do and at some point you're gonna be forced to upgrade and you realize okay

it's not that bad and and actually it's kind of nice all these ways and that

01:33:29

01:33:35

Instapaper or even the magazine app when you were right now where where you had

crashing bug that only affected or seemingly disproportionately affected

jailbreak users not really usually the problem is that where there are you hit

01:33:51

that use of the problem was with the older devices they didn't have a lot of
[TS]
01:33:54
◼

RAM some of the jailbreak tools would stay resident
[TS]
01:33:57
◼

memory and would take up more RAM than an unusual device would would have so I
[TS]
01:34:01
◼

could have less RAM available and there's no paging out to a page file or
[TS]
01:34:08
◼

swap file that you don't doesn't do that you and i OS if you ask for certain by

01:34:12
◼

Ram you don't get it right and you probably didn't accommodate for that
[TS]
01:34:17
◼

you'll probably crash instead of getting a memory bank you just getting to know
[TS]
01:34:20
◼
►
exactly exactly or iOS will say open low memory warning you better use less and
[TS]
01:34:27
◼

you're like i cant and they kill you so that's usually the problem with
[TS]
01:34:33
◼
►
jailbreak stuff is not necessarily interferes with things you're a code is
[TS]
01:34:36
◼

doing but it takes up so much RAM that your app doesn't have enough space to
[TS]
01:34:41
◼

running gets killed and it's hard to test for that and it's really hard it's
[TS]
01:34:46

kinda hard to avoid that
[TS]
01:34:47
◼

Instapaper in the magazine never really used to be a problem it's more of a
[TS]
01:34:51
◼

problem for games and really heavy productivity oh yeah I think that I
[TS]
01:34:55
◼

think it since I think the memory thing is probably one of the main issues as I
[TS]
01:34:59
◼

think that they they they did it with so little that it doesn't make it more

you inevitably you'd you'd get crashes you know some of these things we just

make your appt crash and your app would never do that you'd never see this crash

you got the bug report all of them were there and the question is what do you do

to you do you do you support that dude work around it like a bare-bones they

know we can't support third-party extensions that modify the system itself

and some people really think you have a good alternative there is a software

company I think that's pretty much what you have to say you can make some effort

to be like I well be some of the crash log if there's like an obvious easy way
[TS]
01:36:25

that we can work around this will try you know but every out it's it's pretty
[TS]
01:36:29
◼

hard to support that kind of stuff right and from the user's perspective they
[TS]
01:36:32

just want that one they just wanted to support that one system and why can't
[TS]
01:36:37
◼

you just with that one
[TS]
01:36:38

the problem is from the developer's perspective it's an infant becomes an

01:36:42
◼

infinite array of platforms these support it's the one guy has the one
[TS]
01:36:45

extension and the other guy has this one and that one and you you've got to

01:36:51

tested you know sometimes to reproduce it you've gotta have that exact

extensions change the way we interact with things get something changed then
[TS]
01:37:03
◼

you got a test for all those versions too so I don't think jailbreaking as a
[TS]
01:37:07
◼

support problem that way into memory is but I do know that there are developers
[TS]
01:37:10
◼

who who detected or tried to detect jailbreaking and others various ways to
[TS]
01:37:17
◼

take a gas and then if they do they won't give you support because they just

01:37:22
◼

didn't want to support people that wanted spin tech support recesses
[TS]
01:37:25
◼

resources on people who pirated the app that's why I thought about doing things
[TS]
01:37:32
◼

like that but the problem is as you said earlier like there's a lot of their
[TS]
01:37:37
◼

legitimate reasons why somebody would jailbreak is one of the biggest being
[TS]
01:37:41
◼

the phones are available in their country or on a carrier of their choice
[TS]
01:37:45
◼

and use it for me the second biggest being touring acts which I guess you
[TS]
01:37:51
◼

could argue with legitimate and people running it for free but ok so you know
[TS]
01:37:56
◼
►
not every jawbreaker is doing it like quote optionally in their in their mind
[TS]
01:38:02
◼

at least in fact probably not but so it's it's hard like morally and customer
[TS]
01:38:09
◼

satisfaction while it's hard to say I'm just not going to support jailbreakers
[TS]
01:38:13
◼

because that's you know in their minds that's a pretty inflammatory view
[TS]
01:38:18
◼

and you're going to hear about it and and they could still one-star you and
[TS]
01:38:23
◼

they could still no trash in public or something it's it's not it's not a great

01:38:27

situation to put yourself at times even even if it's not like so you know I I'm

01:38:32

pretty familiar with the best burger reviews and should you know every
[TS]
01:38:36
◼

developer knows what you read the reviews I haven't looked on while I
[TS]
01:38:41
◼

looked at the first we have good reviews that because we're paid up if we were if
[TS]
01:38:44
◼

we were free we would not let everyone I see you more often when I'm actually
[TS]
01:38:50

looking and thinking about buying an apple or say whether the reviews and you

can always tell them you know all lowercase or else all uppercase you

comment is you know and you just notice skip it and I'll say stuff I crashes all

the time and you didn't know those crashes all the time for you but not for
[TS]
01:39:13
◼

everybody that you know there's a chance that the problem is your device
[TS]
01:39:17
◼

yeah it's it's tough it's sometimes actually do crafts on time because
[TS]
01:39:25
◼
►
sometimes like the developer didn't test unlike any I've had one or an iPad the
[TS]
01:39:31
◼
►
iPad 3 is actually very hard to support because of its you know it could handle
[TS]
01:39:34
◼

retina but just barely and the CPUs were slow and so you know there there there
[TS]
01:39:41
◼

are these handful of devices that are way more likely gonna like running a
[TS]
01:39:46
◼

memory on one of them or hit the one of the timeout killers like a few if you
[TS]
01:39:50
◼

take you on to launch a springboard crashed out and so if you do a lot on
[TS]
01:39:56
◼
►
Sun startup or even even if you don't do a lot of everyone started but let's say
[TS]
01:40:00
◼
►
someone has like a lot of data in your maybe you have to do a lot of start-up
[TS]
01:40:04
◼
►
and then maybe on the lowest end of ice that it will run on like a 3G s maybe
[TS]
01:40:10
◼
►
it'll take too long and crash and developers don't usually test those kind
[TS]
01:40:15
◼
►
of edge cases a preview doesn't test of kind of aids cases so a lot of times
[TS]
01:40:20
◼

debt really is writing something it may be only comes up on the low end of ice
[TS]
01:40:24
◼

you don't test for you maybe you test for the extreme dataset but your testing
[TS]
01:40:28
◼

on your phone lines of 5 ass
[TS]
01:40:30
◼

its way faster than the four which is where the you know the springboard is

repayment process exactly a little bit more get back to our last thoughts on

01:42:33
◼

book recommendation so I don't know I don't know what to do I dunno what to
[TS]
01:42:37
◼
►
suggest I'm never sure I write read books but I don't know what to suggest
[TS]
01:42:40
◼
►
but I thought of one here's one I thought I know they have it there is
[TS]
01:42:45
◼
►
Stephen King has a new is a sequel to The Shining I haven't read The Shining
[TS]
01:42:51
◼
►
since I was sometime in high school junior high obviously famously I'm a big
[TS]
01:42:57
◼
►
fan of the movie but is a sequel out to the show where little young Danny from
[TS]
01:43:03
◼
►
the shining is now take tracked in real life and is now like a forty year old
[TS]
01:43:09
◼
►
man and opened in hindsight it never really thought about it but danny is
[TS]
01:43:13
◼
►
real world is roughly my age
[TS]
01:43:16
◼
►
Danny was about my age when the shining came out in and now in this new sequel
[TS]
01:43:20
◼
►
Dr sleep he's still my age so there's actually two recommendations the shining
[TS]
01:43:26
◼
►
in Dr sleep I haven't read doctor sleep yet but I'm going to and the reason why
[TS]
01:43:32
◼
►
I am suggesting it is that Stephen King in in as the makes the publicity rounds
[TS]
01:43:38
◼
►
for dr. sleep has reopened his beef with kubrick's adaptation of the movies net
[TS]
01:43:44
◼
►
was never a fan and apparently used to bad mouth it all the time when I first
[TS]
01:43:51
◼
►
came out in an apparently I guess what happened is that when he re- secured the
[TS]
01:43:56
◼
►
film rights to the book so that he could make that god awful ABC miniseries like
[TS]
01:44:02
◼
►
in the nineties which was his vision for a movie of The Shining he weather like
[TS]
01:44:08
◼
►
legally agreed to it or just like gentleman's handshake agreed to just
[TS]
01:44:12
◼
►
stop talking about kubrick's version but now with his doctor sleep emotional
[TS]
01:44:16
◼
►
stories is opened up again
[TS]
01:44:20
◼
►
I'm thinking about a show sometime in the next few weeks or maybe I have
[TS]
01:44:25
◼
►
somebody on and talk about this whole thing and about like the obligations of
[TS]
01:44:30
◼
►
you know what what are the obligations for a movie a depth adapted from a book
[TS]
01:44:34
◼
►
to sort of stay true to the material and and and that sort of thing but I think
[TS]
01:44:40
◼
►
it would help in the meantime before I do it though I mean I know the movies
[TS]
01:44:44
◼
►
like the back of my hand but I feel like I should reread the book and maybe read
[TS]
01:44:48
◼
►
the sequel to even though the sequel is a legacy somewhat irrelevant but why not
[TS]
01:44:52
◼
►
neural as I'd like to reread the original book before they go if you want
[TS]
01:44:58
◼
►
to be ready for that
[TS]
01:44:59
◼
►
ready for that discussion on the talk show sometime before the end of the year
[TS]
01:45:02
◼
►
you could do it by listening to the audio book audible has both they're both
[TS]
01:45:08
◼
►
the shining and they have the new doctor sleep so my thanks to them again the URL
[TS]
01:45:13
◼
►
is www dot audible podcast dot com slash talk show in addition to podcasting it's
[TS]
01:45:23
◼
►
kinda hard to think of a medium that has taken more advantage of variable bit
[TS]
01:45:28
◼
►
rate encoding then audio books is bigger get back in the old days when you know
[TS]
01:45:32
◼
►
you couldn't make like a lower bitrate cassette that would play longer right so
[TS]
01:45:36
◼
►
you have like audio books read have to date all be abridged and you have to get
[TS]
01:45:40
◼
►
like the binder like 14 cassettes out of the library on your show this week
[TS]
01:45:47
◼
►
series you guys had audible in Melissa's coincidence I mean this is not certainly
[TS]
01:45:52
◼
►
didn't ask you to be on the show because we both had audible as a sponsor but I
[TS]
01:45:55
◼
►
mean all of our shows have a pretty weak but on your show John Siracusa
[TS]
01:46:01
◼
►
recommended a book and his book was an unabridged thousand page book and it was
[TS]
01:46:06
◼
►
sixty six hours and confirm this is totally true that was not a joke they
[TS]
01:46:13
◼
►
get our beliefs 66 are so if you put that on cassette tape it even if you got
[TS]
01:46:19
◼
►
I think the biggest tapes were hundred and twenty eight or nineteen ninety was
[TS]
01:46:24
◼
►
big hundred and twenty but I think the hundred and twenty would come up some of
[TS]
01:46:29
◼
►
the tape players like belief in to fit that much in there but even if you did
[TS]
01:46:33
◼
►
get it on two hundred and twenty minute you're still talking about 30
[TS]
01:46:38
◼
►
sixty-minute tapes it would be 66 cassettes that's it i mean it would have
[TS]
01:46:46
◼
►
to come with like a free encyclopedia
[TS]
01:46:52
◼
►
I'm sure this is way way before your time you're too young but when I was in
[TS]
01:46:57
◼
►
high school we all had cassette tapes we all had like these brief cases where you
[TS]
01:47:02
◼
►
would keep your tapes like take the briefcase in your car so there was a
[TS]
01:47:07
◼
►
cassette version of the CD binder
[TS]
01:47:10
◼
►
briefcase it was like a briefcase looking thing for you in class bit and
[TS]
01:47:16
◼
►
then they'd be in sort of like a shelf on its amazing but anyway go listen
[TS]
01:47:25
◼
►
audible voice that that was a great match and i've i've heard audible
[TS]
01:47:32
◼
►
sponsoring podcasts ever since before I even had a podcast but it's such a
[TS]
01:47:36
◼
►
natural fit I don't think anybody's ever been a more natural fit because the only
[TS]
01:47:39
◼
►
people who hear the ad are people who are listening to spoken word audio
[TS]
01:47:44
◼
►
material it's almost like you're advertising for a competitor I thought
[TS]
01:47:50
◼
►
of that too but I would I have come to realize from feedback from listeners of
[TS]
01:47:54
◼
►
the show is that the show I don't do I don't do enough shows there did people
[TS]
01:47:59
◼
►
who listen to the podcast and most have so much time that they need or want to
[TS]
01:48:04
◼
►
fill you know whether it's a long commute or whatever other they're you
[TS]
01:48:08
◼
►
know maybe they listen to podcasts while they work whatever it is they can I
[TS]
01:48:11
◼
►
can't get enough of my people either listen to know podcasts or a lot of
[TS]
01:48:16
◼
►
podcasts like none won a lot
[TS]
01:48:19
◼
►
yeah exactly what else do you think they gonna do anything with Apple TV next
[TS]
01:48:23
◼
►
week I doubt it I don't know if possible
[TS]
01:48:27
◼
►
I really doubt it certainly like a TV set I don't see that happening
[TS]
01:48:31
◼
►
possibly ever but even with the Apple TV box mini diggers the biggest of the big
[TS]
01:48:35
◼
►
software update I don't think we're gonna see new harbour I don't think
[TS]
01:48:39
◼
►
there's much of a reason for for what the box does today I don't think there's
[TS]
01:48:44
◼
►
a whole lot of motivation to have hardware update I think that the the
[TS]
01:48:49
◼
►
next one might be a year out two years out but at some point when they can put
[TS]
01:48:54
◼
►
like it in a seven into a $99 iPad TV box and then maybe you'll have something
[TS]
01:49:01
◼
►
that could really be different
[TS]
01:49:04
◼
►
yeah I don't know maybe it maybe it's just me being weird but I don't see the
[TS]
01:49:09
◼
►
TV market is this massively exciting thing for Apple like I think I think
[TS]
01:49:13
◼
►
they're already in it you know a little bit with the Apple TV as we know it
[TS]
01:49:17
◼
►
today I don't think there is like a massive amount more they're likely to
[TS]
01:49:21
◼
►
actually do it succeeded so it's just such a messy market with so many in
[TS]
01:49:27
◼
►
traction trusts and and it's it's so hard to penetrate that wall and get any
[TS]
01:49:32
◼
►
more useful I don't really see it happening like I and it's such a weird
[TS]
01:49:38
◼
►
market to in in the way that the reason why I don't have to make a TV said
[TS]
01:49:42
◼
►
because how often do you have read your TV set and what's the margin on that lee
[TS]
01:49:47
◼
►
gets its not like every five to 10 years maybe and its differently with phones
[TS]
01:49:56
◼
►
and iPods computers where like you can buy a new one every couple of years or
[TS]
01:49:59
◼
►
even with those like every year and it doesn't feel ridiculous or wasteful if
[TS]
01:50:04
◼
►
you were buying a new TV every year
[TS]
01:50:06
◼
►
feel like a dick would just like to tease me like where you put the old you
[TS]
01:50:10
◼
►
gotta get rid of it like it's it's a big lake I don't know and it just feels it
[TS]
01:50:15
◼
►
feels more wasteful when the things are that big and that expensive to just go
[TS]
01:50:18
◼
►
through them every year and I guess I don't see the business being that
[TS]
01:50:23
◼
►
profitable in selling the TV I wouldn't be surprised if and I've said this
[TS]
01:50:29
◼
►
before if if Apple's AppleTV strategy is right what we see in front of us
[TS]
01:50:35
◼
►
yeah $99 thing I think I have a better remote eventually some kind of Bluetooth
[TS]
01:50:41
◼
►
type thing but you know couple the channels know a maybe no app story you
[TS]
01:50:46
◼
►
know I don't know I'm not quite sure whether you know letting anybody right
[TS]
01:50:51
◼
►
channel for it makes sense but you know could be but it would be mostly for this
[TS]
01:50:55
◼
►
video content you know I don't think it makes sense today with the input method
[TS]
01:51:00
◼
►
you know obviously you had heard of this I'm gonna go to foreigners you had you
[TS]
01:51:04
◼
►
know obviously if if there were like if they're releasing a game controller for
[TS]
01:51:09
◼
►
it that would be a little bit different maybe but I don't see them really having
[TS]
01:51:14
◼
►
a ton of interest in that market even like I i think i think what we see today
[TS]
01:51:18
◼
►
is is what they plan to do for the foreseeable future you know maybe maybe
[TS]

they wanna like breaking the game market in a couple years more more aggressively
[TS]
01:51:27
◼

but I think they already have with the guy I don't see that even being relevant
[TS]
01:51:32
◼
►
like who cares about the console game market when they're dominating handheld
[TS]
01:51:36
◼
►
games in casual games and I think you know that they're selling a ton of
[TS]
01:51:40
◼
►
selling and renting a ton of movies and TV shows and you know obviously could be
[TS]
01:51:44
◼
►
a lot more about the only way to get to a lot more would be to somehow brake
[TS]
01:51:48
◼
►
cable TV monopolies you know and that's just not going to complex issue and that
[TS]
01:51:56
◼
►
might that might also cause some trouble in their content business like it would
[TS]
01:52:01
◼
►
make them a lot more enemies and many of those enemies like the cable companies
[TS]
01:52:06
◼
►
also owned TV networks or production companies and and that would be that
[TS]
01:52:10
◼
►
would be a problem for their content business but it's you know it's another
[TS]
01:52:13
◼
►
example of Apple's incremental approach to improving products that I think it's
[TS]
01:52:18
◼
►
overlooked because people keep waiting for this spectacular amazing this is
[TS]
01:52:22
◼
►
from 25 news in the 25 years in the future while moment whereas if you
[TS]
01:52:26
◼
►
compared today's Apple TV against Apple TV from like four years ago it's
[TS]
01:52:30
◼
►
amazingly better and it has things like HBO and yes you have you only get the
[TS]
01:52:35
◼
►
HBO if you sign in fridge be on your cable contact contractor ever
[TS]
01:52:38
◼
►
but there's no applicants on that honor if HBO says we can do it but only if we
[TS]
01:52:43
◼
►
ensure that the person has cable TV HBO then you know what Apple do they can't
[TS]
01:52:49
◼
►
go around them but now we have it you can get HBO on your Apple TV there's
[TS]
01:52:54
◼
►
also a lot of room for improvement
[TS]
01:52:56
◼
►
just doing the same feature set they're doing now like you know as if there's if
[TS]
01:53:00
◼
►
they improved text input so when you're searching for a show you can do anything
[TS]
01:53:04
◼
►
beside that stupid way to do it or sharing your iOS device and trying to
[TS]
01:53:09
◼
►
use the remote app which is clunky at best and they can make it easier to
[TS]
01:53:12
◼
►
scrub video yes there is there so much and also you know things like if they
[TS]
01:53:18
◼
►
would end this is questionable with business priorities but if they would
[TS]
01:53:22
◼
►
ever have universal search where I can search one place and it would search
[TS]
01:53:26
◼
►
iTunes and Netflix and you know if you're a member of Hulu sure that you
[TS]
01:53:31
◼
►
know that everything that you're you're signed up for right now because
[TS]
01:53:34
◼
►
otherwise you know people are doing this now they're already going in typing in
[TS]
01:53:38
◼
►
the same thing into Netflix and then if they don't see it on Netflix and iTunes
[TS]
01:53:41
◼
►
like people are you do this and it sucks so maybe this is wishful thinking DVD
[TS]
01:53:45
◼
►
would someday have universal search but yes you can look at the problem set as
[TS]
01:53:50
◼
►
it as it exists today without adding any major new capabilities and you can see
[TS]
01:53:54
◼
►
there's still a lot of room for improvement here in both hardware and
[TS]
01:53:57
◼
►
software and so this year I think this is just gonna have for a while I think
[TS]
01:54:02
◼
►

[TS]
01:54:06
◼
►
try to get through this I love how your show is unapologetically long I really
[TS]
01:54:11

01:54:36
◼
►
yeah it was pretty great and they were released like just the tip was released
[TS]

[TS]
01:58:22
◼
►
as they get that's always a little bit of a jolt when you mentioned on some
[TS]
01:58:26
◼
►
other show anyway the thing on this week's show why I wrote about on during
[TS]
01:58:31
◼
►
the day was a bit about Syrian latency and it all came from a bit on your show
[TS]
01:58:37
◼
►
where Casey mention that on this week's or last week's episode of the agents
[TS]
01:58:42
◼
►
from she'll show you know Marvel Universe show that doesn't actually have
[TS]
01:58:48
◼
►
super heroes on ABC strong person here at him well whatever this you know it's
[TS]
01:58:55
◼
►
the shield show not to be confused I guess we should show the joke there is a
[TS]
01:59:03
◼
►
joke on the show that somebody said they had like other agents whispering in your
[TS]
01:59:08
◼
►
ear to ear piece or something and Dejan it was you know giving them information
[TS]
01:59:12
◼
►
about what they were saying it was like this would be like if she reworked is
[TS]
01:59:16
◼
►
awesome
[TS]
01:59:16
◼
►
some kind of joke like that and Casey observed isn't an interesting that on
[TS]
01:59:19
◼
►
national network TV show series the butt of jokes that people even know enough to
[TS]
01:59:25
◼
►
get the joke and you know went on from there and it was just really great
[TS]
01:59:32
◼
►
discussion of why doesn't why can't Apple get something like Siri to work
[TS]
01:59:36
◼
►
really good and really fast like let's say the way that they you know online
[TS]
01:59:40
◼
►
stuff they don't do that well on device stuff they're great at like for example
[TS]
01:59:44
◼
►
touch I D such ideas like a perfect Apple thing where yes there are it's not
[TS]
01:59:49
◼
►
the first cell phone that ship with a fingerprint scanner during a couple
[TS]
01:59:52
◼
►
others and they all suck and everybody hated them and they were terrible and it
[TS]
01:59:55
◼
►
took long and they were finicky and had to do funny things like Royal Dutch lady
[TS]
02:00:00
◼
►
just put your finger on
[TS]
02:00:01
◼
►
they are graded that but why can't they get better in online stuff and then I
[TS]
02:00:08
◼
►
didn't write about today though is is comparing them to google it is it's a
[TS]
02:00:13
◼
►
funny inverse because on the other hand Google gets that online latency and
[TS]
02:00:19
◼
►
accuracy it's it's just ingrained in our culture to the whole thing that they
[TS]
02:00:23
◼
►
started with is that they're gonna give you accurate search results really fast
[TS]
02:00:28
◼
►
but you know on Android touch latency is always been terrible about that you hear
[TS]
02:00:41
◼
►
what I hear about it how well they every release of Android Google says it's
[TS]
02:00:46
◼
►
improving it
[TS]
02:00:47
◼
►
oh right under 800 always getting better right and I'm sure that when 205 comes
[TS]
02:00:53
◼
►
out that there's going to you know it's as though they've never said it before
[TS]
02:00:58
◼
►
they're going to say this time we've solved it in latency you know framerate
[TS]
02:01:02
◼
►
latency is down here they've had that like buttered toast release or whatever
[TS]
02:01:08
◼
►
it was and that was it it was measurably improved you know so they they do
[TS]
02:01:12
◼
►
improve it but yeah you're right I get overall responsiveness just seems like
[TS]
02:01:16
◼
►
it's way more of a priority on iOS and the entire OS is architected differently
[TS]
02:01:21
◼
►
to to to emphasize that right and there is something to it we're like even in a
[TS]
02:01:28
◼
►
big company and you somehow think from the outside that well if you had all the
[TS]
02:01:33
◼
►
resources that Apple Google ad R&D solvable problems isn't it solvable did
[TS]
02:01:37
◼
►
you know to to put an end to advise thanks to an iPhone danced a lot by next
[TS]
02:01:43
◼
►
year we want this Android to be have just that type of frame rate and put top
[TS]
02:01:48
◼
►
engineers on it and give them a year at reasonable sounds like it but that's not
[TS]
02:01:53
◼
►
really how problems get solved
[TS]
02:01:55
◼
►
you know in real life engineering
[TS]
02:01:58
◼
►
and you also think couldn't you can't apple just throw money at the Siri team
[TS]
02:02:02
◼
►
and tricks and I don't you know it just doesn't work that way there's something
[TS]
02:02:07
◼
►
to do with like the founding cultures of companies that it prioritizes what
[TS]
02:02:13
◼
►
they're good at right and that tends to not change over time you know companies
[TS]
02:02:19
◼
►
companies that are really good at one thing and and really don't care about
[TS]
02:02:23
◼
►
another those priorities are rarely changed over time and because the entire
[TS]
02:02:28
◼
►
company is set up around at that and it's it's set up to
[TS]
02:02:32
◼
►
to reinforce their priorities and to to support the things they want to care
[TS]
02:02:38
◼
►
about and to ignore the things they don't and it's just once a company gets
[TS]
02:02:44
◼
►
the size of something like Google or Apple like the the chances of of making
[TS]
02:02:50
◼
►
a meaningful shift in going all of a sudden into a look at the great example
[TS]
02:02:55
◼
►
this other attempt to do this i think is Microsoft with the internet you know
[TS]
02:03:01
◼
►
that's a very highly publicized thing we're like Bill Gates ignore the
[TS]
02:03:05
◼
►
internet for too long to realize detour for too long and I tried to turn the
[TS]
02:03:09
◼
►
company on a dime to all the sudden oh crap the internet the real thing and we
[TS]
02:03:13
◼
►
have to like it on this quickly and if you look at what they did in a retro
[TS]
02:03:18
◼
►
actually retrospectively you look what they actually did here and they really
[TS]
02:03:23
◼
►
didn't embrace the internet very well they they made Internet Explorer which
[TS]
02:03:27
◼
►
was doing what they're doing well a desktop up and everything into a test of
[TS]
02:03:32
◼
►
operating system you know they they were just playing the same here they always
[TS]
02:03:35
◼
►
play just involving the internet but not really being of the internet and then
[TS]
02:03:41
◼
►
all the stuff that you know a true internet like Google is a true internet
[TS]
02:03:46
◼
►
company they've been you know the Internet is their platform Android is a
[TS]
02:03:51
◼
►
side project the Internet is their platform so you know that's like that's
[TS]
02:03:56
◼
►
their DNA everything we do is about Internet services and and the needs of
[TS]
02:04:01
◼
►
of Internet services and you know so Microsoft you know they they thought
[TS]
02:04:07
◼
►
they were giving the whole company and focusing on the internet full steam
[TS]
02:04:11
◼
►
but if you look what they actually did they just kept doing with their already
[TS]
02:04:13
◼
►
good at and they didn't become google it didn't launch major web services for
[TS]
02:04:17
◼
►
years after that and they still there they still don't succeed that load web
[TS]
02:04:23
◼
►
services and they don't do they're still focused on desktop software only or
[TS]
02:04:28
◼
►
primarily in desktop software these days and server software like the stuff
[TS]
02:04:31
◼
►
they've always done so even that giant massive turnaround that we know about it
[TS]
02:04:37
◼
►
and computer history didn't really actually change the company that much
[TS]
02:04:41
◼
►
right so you can look at Apple and Google now you can say well you know
[TS]
02:04:46
◼
►
Google is all of a sudden shifting the focus on you I enjoyed well you know
[TS]
02:04:50
◼
►
somewhat but not grade and Apple trying so hard to focus on these new web
[TS]
02:04:56
◼
►
services that power they're cool stuff well you know they aren't they'll see me
[TS]
02:05:00
◼
►
putting that much of a priority on the whole company is not going to suddenly
[TS]
02:05:03
◼
►
turn around and Apple become fantastic web services or Google become fantastic
[TS]
02:05:09
◼
►
a uin and local software
[TS]
02:05:12
◼
►
yeah i i think you know with your Internet Explorer example in hindsight
[TS]
02:05:17
◼
►
especially with what they did once they got to IE six and put netscape under and
[TS]
02:05:23
◼
►
really sort of Domino got to the point where their browser had just like
[TS]
02:05:27
◼
►
Windows you know ninety-something percent market share is it was really in
[TS]
02:05:32
◼
►
any stopped innovating with M&A really just stopped putting out new versions
[TS]
02:05:35
◼
►
that they really just saw it as a way to sort of not kill the internet but to
[TS]
02:05:39
◼
►
encapsulated within I just don't realize it because they didn't do things so like
[TS]
02:05:49
◼
►
being is an attempt to be of the internet and and and make fun of it
[TS]
02:05:54
◼
►
because it's almost like god bless them because if if not for being what would
[TS]
02:05:58
◼
►
be the number to search engine you know I don't use it but I'm glad it's there
[TS]
02:06:03
◼
►
and it's like i don't know what I mean Yahoo stop burning there is years ago I
[TS]
02:06:09
◼
►
know I know a lot of people don't like whenever their financial stuff comes out
[TS]
02:06:13
◼
►
every corner lot of people make a about the fact that they continually just
[TS]
02:06:16
◼
►
bleed money out of there in Microsoft out of there
[TS]
02:06:19
◼
►
in its services division being division but I almost wanted to say hey stop
[TS]
02:06:24
◼
►
making fun of him for that because if they were in you know who would be you
[TS]
02:06:28
◼
►
know Google honest has a sexy like a public Foundation to fund being right
[TS]
02:06:34
◼
►
but they didn't even start that until much later that wasn't you know they
[TS]
02:06:37
◼
►
didn't decade after right imagine if they had tried to build being in you
[TS]
02:06:43
◼
►
know 1995 96 whatever it was it had that different even right after it was clear
[TS]
02:06:50
◼
►
that Google has become a huge like 2001 tribal
[TS]
02:06:54
◼
►
no I mean when I mean being I think came from like MSN search everything but that
[TS]
02:07:00
◼
►
even that didn't start at that kind of scale until a few years after that right
[TS]
02:07:04
◼
►
and then mess n stuff wasn't really a mess and was really more of like an AOL
[TS]
02:07:08
◼

well and they they applied the MSN name and then the live news and the big name
[TS]
02:07:19
◼
►
and in the Windows name all over so many things over the years it's it's kind of
[TS]
02:07:22
◼
►
hard to say what you think was and and and so I think maybe the explanation and
[TS]
02:07:29
◼
►
I think they will get better in the longer you know give it some years and
[TS]
02:07:33
◼
►
androids you know frame rate and etcetera is certainly only get better
[TS]
02:07:36
◼

and there's a certain point where there's no point in getting better than
[TS]
02:07:40

60 frames per second and I'm sure that as you know there is that debt

interesting study from last month about the touch responsive times on devices
[TS]
02:07:51
◼
►
and Apple's iPhone 5 is like five times more responsive than even the best
[TS]
02:07:56
◼
►
Android phone in terms of like milliseconds it takes for a touch to
[TS]
02:08:00
◼
►
register on screen but I'm sure that like those Android phones probably ever
[TS]
02:08:06
◼
►
touch responsiveness they'd better than the original iPhone from 2007 so you
[TS]
02:08:11
◼
►
know they're catching up and I'm sure siri will keep getting better but I do
[TS]
02:08:15
◼
►
think that they're both just evidence that even in a big company like that
[TS]
02:08:18
◼
►
there's just a only so much attention to go around
[TS]
02:08:22
◼
►
if your attention is on making you know what your top priority is as best as it
[TS]
02:08:28
◼
►
can be insanely great there's just not that much attention to go around to the
[TS]
02:08:33
◼
►
secondary and tertiary priorities right can't be like oh everything's a priority
[TS]
02:08:38
◼
►
that's that's not a real thing as as Merlin tells us like that's that's
[TS]
02:08:43
◼
►
doesn't mean anything and you know it can't be like Microsoft no compromises
[TS]
02:08:48
◼
►
we know that that's bogus to you have to focus on something and and necessarily
[TS]
02:08:54
◼
►
like if you're gonna do one thing really well and have an intense focus to be
[TS]
02:09:00
◼

able to do it really well chances are other areas are going to be ignored
[TS]
02:09:05
◼

here's my last topic and this is very specific to you as the arrogant asshole
[TS]
02:09:11
◼
►
the other thing you said on the shows you do as an example you'd mentioned
[TS]
02:09:16
◼
►
something about that same type of problem said like a Microsoft hire a new
[TS]
02:09:23
◼
►
CEO new CEO says you know what one of our problems is our one of our problems
[TS]
02:09:27
◼
►
is that a problem our products just are not as cool as apples or some other
[TS]
02:09:32
◼
►
companies too we need to invest in call and and throw money we need to put more
[TS]
02:09:38
◼
►
money into what doesn't work like that you can't just throw money at it and
[TS]
02:09:43
◼
►
it's really if if and I agree with you that Microsoft that actually is a
[TS]
02:09:47
◼
►
problem that they have this sort of institutional efficiency of course it's
[TS]
02:09:54
◼
►
it's ingrained in all of the people who are there everybody know my saying that
[TS]
02:09:58
◼
►
there's no cool people who work at Microsoft in fact I know the opposite
[TS]
02:10:01
◼
►
that there are very cool people organized but on the whole on average if
[TS]
02:10:07
◼
►
you took forty Microsoft employees in 40 Apple employees I would call you know I
[TS]
02:10:13
◼
►
think collectively I would find the Apple people to be cooler
[TS]
02:10:19
◼
►
who would you rather hang out with her partner and you know that's not to say
[TS]
02:10:24
◼
►
that there's some not somebody else who who who wouldn't find the Microsoft
[TS]
02:10:30
◼
►
people be corn say whether people are assholes
[TS]
02:10:33
◼
►
I don't know what the problem but I think and this is the right thing I'd
[TS]
02:10:42
◼
►
rather just talk about it but i've had for years that part of what gets Apple
[TS]
02:10:48
◼
►
this world has Apple get treated so much differently than other companies in the
[TS]
02:10:54
◼
►
press and and when they do things they everything is in different proportions
[TS]
02:10:58
◼
►
to other companies get treated and it can't just be about the fact that
[TS]
02:11:03
◼
►
Apple's the biggest company because it's been true from what Apple is far from
[TS]
02:11:07
◼
►
the biggest company always been true that Apple gets treated differently I
[TS]
02:11:11
◼
►
think it's because they get treated differently because there's they are so
[TS]
02:11:15
◼
►
yeah so stupid to say but it is and you know like steve Jobs was a cool guy he
[TS]
02:11:24
◼
►
really was he was very cool guy bill gates was definitely not cool kids they
[TS]
02:11:30
◼
►
the opposite and it just sort of infuse the company DNA but for people who
[TS]
02:11:36
◼
►
aren't call themselves either don't see it and so it's really is seemingly like
[TS]
02:11:42
◼
►
a mystery and and hence all the Apple is a cult type thing you know they they
[TS]
02:11:48
◼
►
just don't see it they don't have thats fine sense of what is cool and what's
[TS]
02:11:52
◼
►
not corn so if they don't detected it does look like people are behaving
[TS]
02:11:56
◼
►
irrationally or like religious zealots or something or if they do see it they
[TS]
02:12:01
◼
►
resent it right that's the big thing that cool is polarizing and and first of
[TS]
02:12:09
◼
►
all you know you look at other things in our culture that get a lot of attention
[TS]
02:12:13
◼
►
things like celebrities the president there is like even look at like other
[TS]
02:12:19
◼
►
figures are companies that are very much in the public eye and it's often a very
[TS]
02:12:26
◼
►
popular thing it's a whole industry to like take them down
[TS]
02:12:31
◼
►
and point out of their fill in the hole like tabloid industry is like this
[TS]
02:12:36
◼
►
massive worldwide phenomenon that people love when the cool kid messes up or you
[TS]
02:12:43
◼
►
get a bad picture of them you know people people crave that it's it's
[TS]
02:12:48
◼
►
really sad actually it's pretty terrible for society but that's how people are
[TS]
02:12:53
◼
►
and I think Apple has reached that point there they're popular they are cool
[TS]
02:12:58
◼
►
there very much in the public eye and and certainly write a lot of that was
[TS]
02:13:04
◼
►
steve jobs but I think now that has transcended him and now it's just the
[TS]
02:13:08
◼
►
company is that cool and is that public and I think they're they're bound to not
[TS]
02:13:15
◼
►
only get a lot of negative attention at all times just like celebrities do just
[TS]
02:13:21
◼
►
because there's a lot of money in it but also there are a lot of people that
[TS]
02:13:26
◼
►
really don't like Apple could end and part of a guy I work this thing here go
[TS]
02:13:30
◼
►
for the magazine and its my site about how the culture of Apple is polarizing
[TS]
02:13:36
◼
►
to people because Apple products say no a lot and and they say we know better
[TS]
02:13:41
◼
►
a lot and a lot of people in their own way but cool itself cool and it's fine
[TS]
02:13:48
◼
►
that you know you and I were talking about this because I don't know about
[TS]
02:13:50
◼
►
you but most of my life nobody would ever consider me a cool guy
[TS]
02:13:55
◼
►
yeah but I have to imagine that that is probably true for at least some portion
[TS]
02:14:02
◼
►
of an audience of Technology podcast but as far as I know me know so take a grain
[TS]
02:14:10
◼
►
of salt here is this is foreign territory but cool also comes from
[TS]
02:14:16
◼
►
position of confidence and is a very fine line between confidence and
[TS]
02:14:20
◼
►
arrogance and even just the reasons you're confident if someone disagrees
[TS]
02:14:26
◼
►
with those reasons then they will see your coolness as arrogance and so it's a
[TS]
02:14:32
◼
►
very fine line and it's very polarizing and it brings a lot of emotional
[TS]
02:14:36
◼
►
responses and people and I think that's really the root of the
[TS]
02:14:42
◼
►
of the crazy amount of of negative attention that Apple draws a multitude
[TS]
02:14:51
◼
►
of sources but I think that the Kuomintang under explored and under
[TS]
02:14:56
◼
►
considered but certainly not reasonable quote is not usually something that you
[TS]
02:15:10
◼
►
can buy and not usually something that you can switch to easily its cool is
[TS]
02:15:16
◼
►
kind of an inherent quality like people either are cooler they're not and any
[TS]
02:15:22
◼
►
loss of his confidence and I usually like ingrained characteristics that are
[TS]
02:15:27
◼
►
very hard to convincingly fake or to suddenly adopt out of the blue so and I
[TS]
02:15:34
◼
►
think the same thing applies to companies in their products you know
[TS]
02:15:36
◼
►
Apple stuff is cool because Apple school and apples people are cool and apples
[TS]
02:15:40
◼
►
leaders were cool I don't I don't see that happening at Microsoft
[TS]
02:15:46
◼
►
you might get a couple of cool employees here and there because there's a lot of
[TS]
02:15:49
◼
►
people who were there a lot of pretty awesome but I think as a culture it's it
[TS]
02:15:57
◼
►
reflects the founders right there in and provide recent example that was the
[TS]
02:16:02
◼
►
sendoff bomber had at the big 14,000 person meeting I still haven't but I've
[TS]
02:16:11
◼
►
ever heard of descriptions of it from you and everyone else that idea what's
[TS]
02:16:15
◼
►
going on but then you know he gets real emotional and
[TS]
02:16:18
◼
►
and which in and of itself isn't bad the emotional part of it but it's there and
[TS]
02:16:23
◼
►
then he is talking about his wanted to play this song in the event for years
[TS]
02:16:27
◼
►
but just never had the right time but now it clearly it's perfect and as one
[TS]
02:16:30
◼
►
of its all time favorite songs I know it seems it it's I've had the time of my
[TS]
02:16:35
◼
►
life I had the song about like the crowd and who knows it's always hard to tell
[TS]
02:16:43
◼
►
you there's fourteen thousand people there and it could be that eight
[TS]
02:16:46
◼
►
thousand of them were cringing and six thousand cheering and six thousand
[TS]
02:16:50
◼
►
cheering people is still gonna sound like a lot of cheering but it just
[TS]
02:16:54
◼
►
seemed the crowd was just eating it and again I didn't want to make fun of it
[TS]
02:17:00
◼
►
when I hope I didn't come across as I meant it sincerely where it was you know
[TS]
02:17:04
◼
►
it was definitely bomber it when I he went out of his way and that is a good
[TS]
02:17:10
◼
►
send off song that is not a good song to say even trying to play at an event for
[TS]
02:17:15
◼
►
years because of what what other context would that have everybody
[TS]
02:17:20
◼
►
the words you know I've had the time of my life here and whatever is as I guess
[TS]
02:17:25
◼
►
a good sentiment for a send off but the actual song itself is such a corny song
[TS]
02:17:29
◼
►
that it's not cool like you know it is not a course I wasn't even call when it
[TS]
02:17:36
◼
►
was new it was in the seventies and early eighties maybe I mean I know it
[TS]
02:17:42
◼
►
was you know it's it's tough right never been called may be very popular but it's
[TS]
02:17:48
◼
►
not cool at least not the kind of cool that I care about you know I think one
[TS]
02:17:57
◼
►
of this is this is my head as may be appropriate bought out but it's the
[TS]
02:18:02
◼
►
finale dirty dancing and was at like 830 or 85 so you know I think Apple people
[TS]
02:18:13
◼
►
are people there individuals they they identified as individuals and while they
[TS]
02:18:20
◼
►
work at Apple and they respected I get the overall impression from them from
[TS]
02:18:24
◼
►
the people I meet and from the executives i've seen in person that like
[TS]
02:18:27
◼
►
you know if if Apple 108 tomorrow
[TS]
02:18:30
◼
►
they would be sad and then they would go do something else they would they would
[TS]
02:18:34
◼
►
like to know create something else they would it wouldn't be the end of their
[TS]
02:18:37
◼
►
careers where the bomber using a song like that is kind of like saying I'm
[TS]
02:18:41
◼
►
dying like this is it this company was my entire life and now my time here is
[TS]
02:18:46
◼
►
over and therefore my life is over and that's it's a very different attitude
[TS]
02:18:51
◼
►
and it's it's it's a type of late loyalty and identification get
[TS]
02:18:55
◼
►
self-identification with your workplace that cool people don't usually have cool
[TS]
02:19:01
◼
►
people are like you know more and more into like something out of haitian as
[TS]
02:19:06
◼
►
themselves and their personalities and not so much like team player at all
[TS]
02:19:11
◼
►
costs and that's it another way to look at is made look at the opposite of
[TS]
02:19:19
◼
►
school is one of those words that may be a so overused means different things to
[TS]
02:19:22
◼
►
different people you know and I said 11 persons cool can definitely be different
[TS]
02:19:27
◼
►
from another person's but to me cool is the opposite of horny and awkward yeah
[TS]
02:19:37
◼
►
you know and and corniness in particular is to me like sort of the antithesis to
[TS]
02:19:43
◼
►
corporate cool and that's what to me Microsoft often is is corny right and
[TS]
02:19:49
◼
►
and there is some linked up last week there were days to be these videos that
[TS]
02:19:55
◼
►
bomber engage would make whenever working together leaders one where they
[TS]
02:19:58
◼
►
dressed up as dr. evil and bomber was doctor evil and Bill Gates was Austin
[TS]
02:20:04
◼
►
Powers just so corny or or the video that they yanked last month where they
[TS]
02:20:10
◼
►
had somebody in Apple product meeting you know they're trying to make fun of
[TS]
02:20:16
◼
►
the iPhone 5s for only introduced in the color gold or something like that you
[TS]
02:20:21
◼
►
see those videos
[TS]
02:20:23
◼
►
sound like a train wreck there's really a train wreck and a corny way you know
[TS]
02:20:28
◼
►
that's what made it an uncool was the fact that it was so corny and I just
[TS]
02:20:34
◼
►
feel like though that that's that's not something that easily changed its like
[TS]
02:20:38
◼
►
just in the company's DNA
[TS]
02:20:42
◼
►
cause also like an easy way to be on call has to be extremely insecure and
[TS]
02:20:48
◼
►
and so many of Microsoft's actions have come off that way at the executive level
[TS]
02:20:52
◼
►
like you see all the stupid comments Obama made over the years about about
[TS]
02:20:56
◼
►
their competitors in about specially about Apple products and had an IQ of
[TS]
02:21:00
◼
►
the iPhone funeral and stuff like that they they they keep doing this year too
[TS]
02:21:06
◼
►
and and obviously this is this is not like I called one time mistake they made
[TS]
02:21:13
◼
►
this is like their culture creates the stuff and encourages it and doesn't see
[TS]
02:21:18
◼
►
what doesn't see what's wrong with that and I've always heard from people who
[TS]
02:21:23
◼
►
work there or who or who work nearby I've always heard that Microsoft was
[TS]
02:21:29
◼
►
very culturally insular like they there the whole area of Redmond OR they are
[TS]
02:21:34
◼
►
the whole area where there is like I basically hurts like just like a little
[TS]
02:21:41
◼
►
biodome of Microsoft Microsoft culture right there and they don't really know
[TS]
02:21:50
◼
►
they don't really get any idea of how they're perceived outside of that
[TS]
02:21:54
◼
►
because inside a little tiny hot spot of Microsoft activity they are the world
[TS]
02:21:59
◼
►
and everyone loves them and everyone was they do it every most Microsoft but you
[TS]
02:22:04
◼
►
know that's that's one of the reasons why I think their marketing is so
[TS]
02:22:09
◼
►
weirdly out of touch so often you know because I they really they they're
[TS]
02:22:15
◼
►
making stuff that would work in the in the world there that they know what they
[TS]
02:22:18
◼
►
don't realize that's not the whole yeah and I think that plays into even product
[TS]
02:22:25
◼
►
decisions to like it just came up again today is all the windows 8.1 reviews
[TS]
02:22:29
◼
►
came out and most of them are are light well it's a nice improvement over
[TS]
02:22:33
◼
►
Windows 8 but the fundamental weirdness of having to completely different
[TS]
02:22:37
◼
►
interfaces that you toggle between in mysterious ways is just weird by pope
[TS]
02:22:44
◼
►
said that a couple other people said that
[TS]
02:22:47
◼
►
just seems like that's the consensus again and it just seems like that idea
[TS]
02:22:50
◼
►
of well we'll just will will do something better will will do an iPad
[TS]
02:22:56
◼
►
like OS so far so good
[TS]
02:22:58
◼
►
which nm which they had very original ideas for you know it's nobody would
[TS]
02:23:03
◼
►
claim that that the Metro interface in Windows 8 and Windows Phone is a ripoff
[TS]
02:23:08
◼
►
of anything Apple did you know if anything I was seven is more along the
[TS]
02:23:13
◼
►
lines the day carved out with this typographic heaviness and flatness and
[TS]
02:23:18
◼
►
and those type of things but then did say what we'll do in n and then we'll
[TS]
02:23:23
◼
►
make it even better by saying that you don't even have to leave your old
[TS]
02:23:26
◼
►
windows goodbye will have that running one button away and there you just lost
[TS]
02:23:31
◼
►
everything and I think it probably made tons a sense inside I think the fact
[TS]
02:23:36
◼
►
that they didn't revisited in a year just shows that they still think it's a
[TS]
02:23:40
◼
►
good idea well I mean I had a conversation with a while back with
[TS]
02:23:47
◼
►
somebody at Microsoft and we were talking about Windows Phone and this
[TS]
02:23:52
◼
►
person was saying that they were asking if if I was going to make overcast for
[TS]
02:23:58
◼
►
Windows Phone and I said that I have no plans to even address and read let alone
[TS]
02:24:04
◼
►
Windows Phone and if I was to make it for anything else it would probably be
[TS]
02:24:10
◼
►
Android because that's where all the people are and basically I said that I
[TS]
02:24:15
◼
►
don't really see a future where it makes sense for Windows Phone at all because
[TS]
02:24:19
◼
►
it's just not taking off at all if there's no motivation to develop apps
[TS]
02:24:24
◼
►
for that and and this guy who who worked at Microsoft and was pretty pretty steep
[TS]
02:24:29
◼
►
in their culture he basically denied that he he basically said that he kept
[TS]
02:24:37
◼

repeating it was like it was just a matter of time before Windows Phone
[TS]
02:24:42
◼
►
takes off and really takes over them the market and he really honestly believe
[TS]
02:24:46
◼
►
that and I think it's it's hard to look at Windows Phone objectively at all and
[TS]
02:24:54
◼
►
to have the opinion that is just you know a couple years we've taken over the
[TS]
02:24:57
◼
►
market I mean that's even think that's a future at all
[TS]
02:25:00
◼
►
let alone coming up soon I think just as not reflect reality at all and you like
[TS]
02:25:07
◼
►
the problem with Windows Phone is that it doesn't do anything for the carriers
[TS]
02:25:12
◼
►
the carriers love control and login and everything else so it doesn't help them
[TS]
02:25:17
◼
►
it it is as unhelpful to the carriers as the iPhone however the carriers
[TS]
02:25:23
◼
►
reluctantly carry the iPhone because there's such incredible demand for it
[TS]
02:25:28
◼
►
from consumers that kinda have to Windows fun doesn't have that one of
[TS]
02:25:34
◼
►
those two things has to change either it has to start bending extremely the
[TS]
02:25:37
◼
►
carriers wills which i think is unlikely any even if they did I don't think they
[TS]
02:25:43
◼
►
would be able to help the charism exaggerated does and or consumers have
[TS]
02:25:48
◼
►
to suddenly all is suddenly out of the blue massively walk those phones and I
[TS]
02:25:53
◼
►
don't see that happening either I think it was going to happen what happened
[TS]
02:25:56
◼
►
already so I don't see a future Windows Phone makes a massive difference is from
[TS]
02:26:01
◼
►
where it is now
[TS]
02:26:02
◼
►
similarly with Windows 8 on tablets and god knows what else it seems like
[TS]
02:26:09
◼
►
Microsoft is unable to see why that's a bad idea and I and maybe maybe maybe
[TS]
02:26:14
◼
►
wrong maybe they actually realize a terrible idea and are working on the
[TS]
02:26:19
◼
►
next idea but the to take a few more years that's very possible obviously a
[TS]
02:26:23
◼
►
major revamp it can take some time but I don't think the more likely explanation
[TS]
02:26:31
◼
►
is that they don't see the problem they really don't see why does not selling
[TS]
02:26:36
◼
►
today matures like it's just some bizarre fluke in the market that just
[TS]
02:26:40
◼
►
hasn't sold so well yet by what why doesn't everyone want this it's just a
[TS]
02:26:43
◼
►
matter of time
[TS]
02:26:44
◼
►
yeah and I think part of that is sort of
[TS]
02:26:46
◼
►
again it's it's like built into the company's DNA in the company's DNA is
[TS]
02:26:50
◼
►
obviously wasn't always the case they you know where it like a thirteen
[TS]
02:26:55
◼
►
persons startup point but they did by the time their identities solidified my
[TS]
02:27:03
◼
►
god what was Microsoft Microsoft was the sixteen hundred pound gorilla of the
[TS]
02:27:09
◼
►
software industry right then they they had platforms that everybody ran i mean
[TS]
02:27:15
◼
►
they basically dominated software fully twenty years if they had they've had so
[TS]
02:27:20
◼
►
much success and that if they were going to come out with an operating system for
[TS]
02:27:25
◼
►
a form factor that people who made devices were going to adopted I mean
[TS]
02:27:30
◼
►
even look at the early days of mobile we're like palm at one point was making
[TS]
02:27:36
◼
►
Windows Mobile devices right and it's a gay people who were you know fans of POM
[TS]
02:27:41
◼
►
it was as though it was as if Apple started making Windows boxes it was just
[TS]
02:27:48
◼
►
so gross but that's the sort of success that Microsoft soon and I think still
[TS]
02:27:54
◼
►
assumes you know and and to drop a sports analogy on you it's like with the
[TS]
02:27:59
◼
►
Yankees the Yankees have always been like that babe ruth era of the nineteen
[TS]
02:28:04
◼
►
twenties the best him and the years really didn't win a World Series even
[TS]
02:28:10
◼
►
though you know they've won an unbelievable number of them
[TS]
02:28:14
◼
►
27 World Series since the nineteen twenties but it's not a majority but as
[TS]
02:28:19
◼
►
a Yankee fan and even as the Yankee institution as an organization they saw
[TS]
02:28:24
◼
►
the years they didn't win as the flukes the years they didn't win a World Series
[TS]
02:28:27
◼
►
are always seen as a fluke and that if they didn't get them next year and and
[TS]
02:28:32
◼
►
then like when I was a teenager in the eighties they went through this long
[TS]
02:28:36
◼
►
drought we're not only did not win World Series they were they were actually like
[TS]
02:28:39
◼
►
a bad team had losing seasons wasn't finished second this year by a lot right
[TS]
02:28:47
◼
►
they were you know below 500 they've lost more games than they want but I
[TS]
02:28:51
◼
►
think institutionally they didn't they just
[TS]
02:28:54
◼
►
never computed for them and they would rather than you know any kind of radical
[TS]
02:29:00
◼
►
cleaning house they would just do it they've always done and just spend a ton
[TS]
02:29:04
◼
►
of money on one guy who they thought was maybe gonna get a lot of home runs and
[TS]
02:29:10
◼
►
as a fan it really you know even as a kid I got caught up in that sort of
[TS]
02:29:14
◼
►
thinking but they're made by the mid eighties but I think I wonder like does
[TS]
02:29:20
◼
►
Microsoft even know how to be an underdog exactly that in fact Apple at
[TS]
02:29:29
◼
►
its worst is when it's not the underdog like some of the worst things they do
[TS]
02:29:33
◼
►
are when they have too much power control and easily be a little bit in to
[TS]
02:29:38
◼
►
check and then have some you know have a fire under their ass River Microsoft
[TS]
02:29:42
◼
►
like in mobile not only is Microsoft not number one barely barely number three
[TS]
02:29:48
◼
►
distant number three or four maybe they had a blackberry finally I don't even
[TS]
02:29:52
◼
►
know but I think they might be at least they are they're like a distant number
[TS]
02:29:56
◼
►
three and I don't think they know how to do that they don't know how to be losing
[TS]
02:30:04
◼
►
team and I think in the same way I think it actually in some ways I know a lot of
[TS]
02:30:09
◼
►
I am NOT by far not the first person to suggest this but that Apple you know and
[TS]
02:30:14
◼
►
people who've been there for a long time working on the company still have memory
[TS]
02:30:17
◼
►
of when the company was smaller and even for some people who date back long
[TS]
02:30:22
◼
►
was actually believe heard to use that word and I think that's kind of good for
[TS]
02:30:27
◼
►
the company overall because it's it's like
[TS]
02:30:30
◼
►
if they see themselves as the upstart still in the little guy there may be
[TS]
02:30:37
◼
►
good for them to keep them from getting complacent and that in some ways the
[TS]
02:30:41
◼
►
incessant media you know any little thing wrong with Apple is somehow
[TS]
02:30:46
◼
►
catastrophic in there you know going to go out of business again are going to
[TS]
02:30:50
◼
►
collapse and become small again might not actually be bad for the company may
[TS]
02:30:54
◼
►
be bad for the stock price but in terms further you know temporarily in the
[TS]
02:30:59
◼
►
short term but in the long run it might be good for the company because it'll
[TS]
02:31:03
◼
►
it's it's a way of emphasizing the fact that you cannot rest on your laurels and
[TS]
02:31:09
◼
►
keeps it fresh in everybody's mind but I think their dad actually is wearable get
[TS]
02:31:15
◼
►
today's I think the worse available today is when they still act like a
[TS]
02:31:20
◼
►
small company and certain ways and they're not it's like you have to
[TS]
02:31:31
◼
►
realize that they're in a position of power now you know a lot with a certain
[TS]
02:31:36
◼
►
like in their early years at the App Store I think that was the case where
[TS]
02:31:38
◼
►
they were done better with that we don't see so many complained about after
[TS]
02:31:47
◼
►
AppStore rejections being arbitrary anymore but that arbitrariness could fly
[TS]
02:31:52
◼
►
when you're a small company and it doesn't fly when you're selling you know
[TS]
02:31:57
◼
►
twenty million iPhones in the quarter rights to it stops working when like
[TS]
02:32:01

Department inquiry that's when it starts becoming a little scary oh this is a
[TS]
02:32:10
◼
►
really big that were playing with here but i i do think that in last couple
[TS]
02:32:15
◼
►
years and maybe this is Tim Cook's personality showing through alot I think
[TS]
02:32:20
◼
►
they really ironed out a lot of those offenders yeah I think so too
[TS]
02:32:24
