entirely different mash really sort of it's the same brand but it's a different
[TS]
00:02:19
◼
►
beverage there's a fifteen-year Pappy's twenty year and then there's a 23 and I
[TS]
00:02:27
◼
►
think long story short you know it was sort of aficionados brand and you know
[TS]
00:02:32
◼
►
the order is the more expensive was it was always a little hard to find a
[TS]
00:02:36

[TS]
00:02:40
◼

[TS]
00:02:48
◼
►
legal stuff is fantastic and now it's impossible to get what I had never heard

[TS]
00:04:33
◼
►
for the event there is a guy at the front door and you had to tell there is
[TS]
00:04:37
◼
►
a limit of three ounces per patron of anything you can only a person can only
[TS]
00:04:43

[TS]
00:05:13
◼
►
animal back to the 23 and they advertise it is not breaking the bank because I
[TS]
00:05:19
◼
►
think they could have charged an arm and a leg for the stuff but they charged
[TS]
00:05:21
◼
►
very very fair prices
[TS]
00:05:24
◼
►

00:05:32
◼
►

[TS]
00:05:35
◼
►
here people are selling one thing he searched from on eBay for for most of
[TS]
00:05:45
◼
►
what you find are empty bottles people just selling bottles which I can't help
[TS]
00:05:50
◼
►
but think I mean who wants an empty I mean maybe I can see why some people
[TS]
00:05:56
◼
►
might want to keep a bottle that they drank if it was a special occasion keep
[TS]
00:06:01
◼
►
it as a memento or something like that but why would you want to buy an empty
[TS]
00:06:07
◼
►
bottle from somebody else unless you were looking to like going out with
[TS]
00:06:12
◼
►
something else
[TS]
00:06:14
◼
►
you know don't get it when I was in like high school and colleges to order a lot
[TS]
00:06:21
◼
►
of beer branded nonsense off ebay you know Zippo lighter and inflatable
[TS]
00:06:29
◼
►
fishing stuff just weird like Miller High Life crap which I thought was cool
[TS]
00:06:33
◼
►
but yeah I don't know why he would order an empty bottle of I've heard I i cant
[TS]
00:06:40
◼
►
even find some people have said that you know I'm not a legal it is and I guess
[TS]
00:06:44
◼
►
in certain states it's legal to sell alcohol on ebay but you know but that on
[TS]
00:06:49
◼
►
the second hand market the 23 year Pappy Van Winkle is going for like took $2,000
[TS]
00:06:55
◼
►
$2,500 a bottle cuz it's just you can't get it you know the retail price the
[TS]
00:07:00
◼
►
retail price for the 23 is is a couple hundred bucks and is it is it awesome
[TS]
00:07:07
◼
►
I don't think any bourbon is worth a couple hundred bucks about that's you
[TS]
00:07:12
◼
►
know I mean like I like to spend the money I do like to indulge and buy good
[TS]
00:07:16
◼
►
stuff you know I like bourbon so I like to buy good bourbon but to me it isn't
[TS]
00:07:26
◼
►
even what I could theoretically afford it I get a certain point it's just
[TS]
00:07:29
◼
►
bourbon you know you can't drink that much of the time and I'm very very I
[TS]
00:07:35
◼
►
feel pretty confident that I would fail you know to to do a Pepsi challenge
[TS]
00:07:41
◼
►
between you know you know that I I don't know that I could taste the difference
[TS]
00:07:47
◼
►
between like you can you can if you put six Bourbons in front of me and said one
[TS]
00:07:54
◼
►
of these is 23 Pappy Van Winkle I'm not entirely sure all that I could figure
[TS]
00:07:58
◼
►
that does it have a happy in general doesn't have a strong noticeable taster
[TS]
00:08:05
◼
►
flavors and just urban the one thing that came out recently is that the one
[TS]
00:08:11
◼
►
thing that they do differently than a lot of other burdens are almost all of
[TS]
00:08:16
◼
►
the Bourbons is that they have a higher for now it's it's all in all wheat that
[TS]
00:08:23
◼
►
they don't they put the minimum amount corn in and that there's another bourbon
[TS]
00:08:30
◼
►
called JL weller which is made from the same match there is this thing I linked
[TS]
00:08:37
◼
►
to on during fireball month or two ago which tried to explain the complicated
[TS]
00:08:44
◼
►
relationship between various Bourbons in rise in Kentucky and Tennessee and Ohio
[TS]
00:08:50
◼
►
and other places where the made in the USA where there's all these early just
[TS]
00:08:55
◼
►
to rats right the AM or less where there's only a couple of what they call
[TS]
00:08:58
◼
►
the day start with a mash mash sold to these distilleries to turn into bourbon
[TS]
00:09:04
◼
►
but you know and presumably what happens is they'll take the same match that
[TS]
00:09:10
◼
►
Pappy's the Pappy Van Winkle distillery will buy it and they'll put it put it
[TS]
00:09:16
◼
►
into barrels for aging and then they'll sample these every couple years just to
[TS]
00:09:23
◼
►
see how this battle going how's this going and that the better the barrel the
[TS]
00:09:27
◼
►
more the longer you know they'll let it go and only the best of those barrels
[TS]
00:09:31
◼
►
will go for the full 23 years and then the lesser ones will you know they'll
[TS]
00:09:36
◼
►
say ok this one was his bottle this one in ten this ones you know it's not going
[TS]
00:09:39
◼
►
to get any better than the bottle it but that there's this other brand jail
[TS]
00:09:43
◼
►
weller which is it retails for like I think it's like 18 19 bucks a bottle but
[TS]
00:09:49
◼
►
it's made from the same mash is Pappy and that it effectively in a poor man's
[TS]
00:09:57
◼
►
pappy it's more or less like the same match but they the stuff that wasn't
[TS]
00:10:00
◼
►
good enough to be turned in the keys and that it does taste a lot like poppies
[TS]
00:10:04
◼
►
ginger ale and it just so they don't put any ride at all in there
[TS]
00:10:14
◼
►
mash and so you know if you know just basic American whiskeys you know the
[TS]
00:10:21
◼
►
difference between bourbon in rise that rise sort of pepper and hot is the basic
[TS]
00:10:28
◼
►
difference him a basic bourbon and a basic right Pappy's to me and it's not
[TS]
00:10:32
◼
►
just knowing that it doesn't have riots like sort of the taste of it is sort of
[TS]
00:10:36
◼
►
what rise to bourbon happy is the opposite to regular bourbon it's less
[TS]
00:10:42
◼
►
separate less hot and smoother and really is a lot more drinkable need
[TS]
00:10:48
◼
►
anyway the tasting was pretty cool yeah but you know it and I did I Instagram
[TS]
00:10:56
◼
►
today because I gotta go there but it was like a one time only 15 minutes to
[TS]
00:11:01
◼
►
communicate these tokens and it came out of it that's a bride Tokyo and I brought
[TS]
00:11:07
◼
►
back from some whiskey but haven't really had a chance to crack into it yet
[TS]
00:11:14
◼
►
the other thing I thought was definitely true side-by-side going from the 23 to
[TS]
00:11:18
◼
►
the 2010 back to the 23
[TS]
00:11:20
◼
►
absolutely tasted the difference the 23 which I I think I only had once before
[TS]
00:11:29
◼
►
in my life and it was on a trip to Vancouver three or four years ago with a
[TS]
00:11:35
◼
►
bunch of friends for somebody's birthday and it was before the whole Pappy's
[TS]
00:11:40
◼
►
thing exploded and me my pal gym ray saw it on the list of available disk and how
[TS]
00:11:52
◼
►
can this possibly be and was like a totally reasonable price per poor I
[TS]
00:11:55
◼
►
don't like $20 a poor and we we asked to really get shorts 23 shows the bottle
[TS]
00:12:02
◼
►
and you know I'd like to have him $20 report which was unbelievable
[TS]
00:12:10
◼
►
but anyway that I think the difference for anybody who cares is that the 23 is
[TS]
00:12:17
◼
►
little bit a little bit not here a little bit spicier I don't know it
[TS]
00:12:22
◼
►
definitely it's almost a little bit less like what I've associate with regular
[TS]
00:12:25
◼
►
Pappy's whereas the 20 is that smooth there wow that's definitely the Platonic
[TS]
00:12:34
◼
►
ideal of pappy which one is like the you know I would say the most common but the
[TS]
00:12:41
◼
►
one that's kind of associated the most with being the good ones that the 24 the
[TS]
00:12:45
◼
►
23 I guess I don't know I guess the 20 and the 23 or both fairly rare I've I
[TS]
00:12:51
◼
►
almost never seen it used to be not that hard to find it like that shit hole bar
[TS]
00:12:57
◼
►

[TS]

◼
►

[TS]
00:13:40
◼
►
youngest but not aged all that much to keep an eye out for it to see who are
[TS]
00:13:52
◼
►
members of the executive agency the Wynn Hotel and Casino used to have copies on
[TS]
00:14:00
◼
►

[TS]
00:14:05
◼
►
everything's little bit expensive in the Wynn and Encore is the best place on
[TS]
00:14:09
◼
►

can we could just maybe we could displace and all the audio from last
[TS]
00:18:21
◼
►
year but now I had that same feeling we're like at the beginning at the start
[TS]
00:18:28
◼
►
of the seems like if you go to cover the show in any sense whether you're there
[TS]
00:18:32
◼
►
to actually do like hundred posts a week like the very jarring gadget or even if
[TS]
00:18:40
◼
►
your gonna take a saner or filtered approach you know and and do a lot of
[TS]
00:18:45
◼
►
the filtering before you've presented to your reader like I don't like pubs new
[TS]
00:18:50
◼
►
site or something like that or like my favorite the wire cutter who did one
[TS]
00:18:54
◼
►
post for all of CES which is just a love it it's so awesome they took like the
[TS]
00:18:58
◼
►
most insane thing with 5,000 vendors it one post which is so great but even so
[TS]
00:19:04
◼
►
it seems like you go there you try to get there by sunday even though the show
[TS]
00:19:08
◼
►
doesn't officially start till Tuesday it seems like Sunday night the pre-show
[TS]
00:19:12
◼
►
stuff starts Monday there's a lot of announcements and then like Tuesday
[TS]
00:19:17
◼
►
Wednesday Thursday like the main show days
[TS]
00:19:19
◼
►
and I think the main like you're already you're already sweaty so when you start
[TS]
00:19:25
◼
►
drinking and gambling and whatever but it's in preparation I watched a bunch of
[TS]
00:19:35
◼
►
the verge videos and looked at some of those you know that every year there's
[TS]
00:19:39
◼
►
the article of the 10 most ridiculous things that we saw at CES in that kind
[TS]
00:19:45
◼
►
of stuff and the kind of comparison their release from to mind is is another
[TS]
00:19:51
◼
►
thing that of course never been to Burning Man it's just like the same just
[TS]
00:19:57
◼
►
a sea like endless CEO of ridiculous nonsense and and a lot of garbage and
[TS]
00:20:03
◼
►
people smell bad but if you're there for the right reasons it can be really fun
[TS]
00:20:08
◼
►
yeah I think the difference between Burning Man in CES from me in some way
[TS]
00:20:15
◼
►
like miss a daytime hours both of them there's a sort of I'd like to see it at
[TS]
00:20:19
◼
►
least once but then in Burning Man tonight you have to sleep in a dirty
[TS]
00:20:23
◼
►
tent where you at CES you can see hotel totally which had a real big deal for me
[TS]
00:20:31
◼
►
sleeping in a tent I'm kind of hoping I go from here till a long happy life and
[TS]
00:20:38
◼
►
eventual death with never having slept in a tent again so i dont no me hagas to
[TS]
00:20:47
◼
►
me as a burning Man with ya just you know any of those pictures there there
[TS]
00:20:57
◼
►
there can be thousands of people in the field of view it seems just unbelievable
[TS]
00:21:01
◼
►
and you know of course a lot of them are there to do actual work like there have
[TS]
00:21:08
◼
►
been some pretty good serious stories about people who are therefore actual
[TS]
00:21:14
◼
►
job functions and one of the things that seem ridiculous to me at first about
[TS]
00:21:19
◼
►
this year was like a Marissa Mayer's giving the keynote one but then I but
[TS]
00:21:24
◼
►
then I read an article about how you know as digital media has become so much
[TS]
00:21:30
◼
►
a part of the consumer electronics industry huge ad deals are happening out
[TS]
00:21:35
◼
►
there and so you know you see some very strange binds of who's that guy David
[TS]
00:21:43
◼
►
Blaine doing magic tricks in front of Dick Costolo from Twitter just to see
[TS]
00:21:49
◼
►
that has easy and yeah I'm sure Marissa Mayer and David Pogue you know went from
[TS]
00:21:54
◼
►
the keynote straight into a meeting with Samsung or something it's at a register
[TS]
00:22:00
◼
►
billion dollar check so they're people are doing work out there too but also
[TS]
00:22:08
◼
►
just insanity to it does seem like a lot of the consensus reporting i've seen
[TS]
00:22:16
◼
►
from CES this year is that the craziness was dialed down and not in terms of the
[TS]
00:22:23
◼
►
size and scope of things but just like the this stupid crazy I don't even
[TS]
00:22:32
◼
►
understand what's going on here sort of yeah no racist right acrobatic
[TS]
00:22:40
◼
►
and I saw a couple people mention that booth babes seemed to be on the decline
[TS]
00:22:45
◼
►
may be all they play listen to our show from last year and got some sense about
[TS]
00:22:51
◼
►
the one of things I was thinking about it would be funny if this was the year
[TS]
00:22:56
◼
►
that Apple actually had a giant booth and just didn't tell anyone like we did
[TS]
00:23:03
◼
►
they kept the Beyonce album a secret let's let's have a huge CES booth this
[TS]
00:23:08
◼
►
year to ensure every year as someone would report some rumor like oh no Apple
[TS]
00:23:15
◼
►
AAPL to give CES keynote
[TS]
00:23:18
◼
►
you know well and it was rampant after they pulled out of Macworld great I mean
[TS]
00:23:25
◼
►
it wasn't even just for the next year although that was one year was at a
[TS]
00:23:28
◼
►
fever pitch but even the next year there was a lot of rumor reporting that Apple
[TS]
00:23:33
◼
►
is going to do it
[TS]
00:23:34
◼
►
keynote in big exhibited yes and it's like now you know there's no way they're
[TS]
00:23:41
◼
►
gonna die from Nvidia's test test outbid them so I did think one of the big
[TS]
00:23:47
◼
►
stories and I don't know maybe the sample sizes too small to really draw a
[TS]
00:23:56
◼
►
conclusion that Apple of course wasn't there
[TS]
00:24:00
◼
►
officially which is not to say that one apple employees there there were you
[TS]
00:24:04
◼
►
know they're always hard to talk to you know component makers and stuff like
[TS]
00:24:10
◼
►
that and someone mentioned in an article
[TS]
00:24:13
◼
►
Apple retail buyers looking at that stuff to sell the stores yeah exactly
[TS]
00:24:19
◼
►
and I'm sure that there are engineers there to just you know just see because
[TS]
00:24:24
◼
►
it's the one thing that the something like CES does it get the entire industry
[TS]
00:24:28
◼
►
altogether and you can see stuff in person and as you know there's there's
[TS]
00:24:34
◼
►
reasons to to be in person you know that the behind the scenes stuff is important
[TS]
00:24:39
◼
►
chauffeur maybe more important but also Microsoft was not there even though they
[TS]
00:24:45
◼
►
you know for years that was CES was sort of their Macworld Expo it was you know
[TS]
00:24:50
◼
►
they were the keynote address the kickoff keynote for ten fifteen years in
[TS]
00:24:54
◼
►
a row dating all the way back to the bill gates era and then all the way
[TS]
00:24:58
◼
►
through most of this bombing but they are not only have dropped out of the
[TS]
00:25:02
◼
►
keynote they had no show Joe for presence at all nor did Google and just
[TS]
00:25:10
◼
►
a throw-in one more north north at Amazon now amazon has either but they do
[TS]
00:25:15
◼
►
make consumer electronics the Kindle line is I think it's impossible to
[TS]
00:25:21
◼
►
dismiss I mean that's the market share stuff I've seen after Christmas for
[TS]
00:25:26
◼
►
tablet use usage clearly puts the candles in second a very strong second
[TS]
00:25:31
◼
►
place in Aus but they were not there either
[TS]
00:25:37
◼
►
and their thing that struck me about all for those companies is that they're us'
[TS]
00:25:40
◼
►
companies and I think that you know unless I'm overlooking somebody tell me
[TS]
00:25:44
◼
►
if I am there are the four big us' consumer electronics companies like
[TS]
00:25:51
◼
►
Google Microsoft and Amazon and none of them were at CES it seems like it's
[TS]
00:25:59
◼
►
almost you know like the big exhibits are all from the agent companies right
[TS]
00:26:07
◼
►
Sony and Samsung LG right that's interesting and I don't know if there is
[TS]
00:26:15
◼
►
a wonder what I wonder why that is
[TS]
00:26:17
◼
►
yeah and I don't know if it's like I said there's only four of them and
[TS]
00:26:21
◼
►
they're all uniquely their own company right i mean Apple's not there just
[TS]
00:26:28
◼
►
because Apple's an American company just Apple and they want to be left alone
[TS]
00:26:32
◼
►
until they're you know have their things to announce
[TS]
00:26:35
◼
►
Amazon's kind of like that to ya even more secretive than Apple in many ways
[TS]
00:26:41
◼
►
yeah definitely Google though I think it's a little you know it seems like
[TS]
00:26:46
◼
►
something they might do you know how big hall and and you know either just to
[TS]
00:26:52
◼
►
promote their like Nexus line of stuff or you know or even have like a kumbaya
[TS]
00:26:58
◼
►
you know look at all you know how about every major Android phone on display at
[TS]
00:27:02
◼
►
one's just you know which they did for at least both years that I was at Mobile
[TS]
00:27:09
◼
►
World Congress in Barcelona they had a the biggest most popular booth with you
[TS]
00:27:14
◼
►
know smooth the people making smoothies and gigantic Android phones and they
[TS]
00:27:20
◼
►
brought out a bunch of Android developers and gave them little booths
[TS]
00:27:23
◼
►
in that kind of stuff and maybe they'll do that again at Mobile World Congress
[TS]
00:27:28
◼
►
this year right that's I don't know if they did it last year I wasn't there
[TS]
00:27:32
◼
►
last year but you know in theory I think of all those companies to that would be
[TS]
00:27:38
◼
►
least surprising if they did have a big CES presence would be Microsoft and who
[TS]
00:27:42
◼
►
will specially Microsoft the new Xbox just came out right tony was gonna be
[TS]
00:27:48
◼
►
there trying Nokia right right maybe and maybe the just the fact that they are in
[TS]
00:27:54
◼
►
the process of tryna by Nokia and the whole CEO turnover thing kept them out
[TS]
00:27:59
◼
►
but that seems weird and I also think that they really want Windows 8 on
[TS]
00:28:08
◼
►
tablets to gain traction I think they will do how could I think I think I
[TS]
00:28:16
◼
►
don't know is it more important than the phone I don't know but both are clearly
[TS]
00:28:21
◼
►
important I mean I think everybody agrees that the group cause of
[TS]
00:28:26
◼
►
Microsoft's
[TS]
00:28:27
◼
►
decline in recent years is that they have no traction in either the phone or
[TS]
00:28:33
◼
►
tablet markets and you know i i almost hesitate to say that once more important
[TS]
00:28:38
◼
►
than the other cuz I think that they sort of go hand in hand and even if
[TS]
00:28:45
◼
►
office and not window is the path forward or even the cloud services or
[TS]
00:28:51
◼
►
whatever that still needs that you know that that's more important for the
[TS]
00:28:56
◼
►
tablets offices not gonna do awesome on Android or something you know what I'm
[TS]
00:29:02
◼
►
gonna take it back I'm gonna say tablets are more important the Microsoft than
[TS]
00:29:05
◼
►
phones because for two reasons for one there's the phones are already a two
[TS]
00:29:13
◼
►
horse race with iOS and Android or iOS has a stronger position at the top end
[TS]
00:29:19
◼
►
of the market and Android has a stronger position as the majority market share
[TS]
00:29:26
◼
►
leader right and has the OEM market sewn up
[TS]
00:29:32
◼
►
whereas tablets I feel like alright iPad is clearly in first place way stronger
[TS]
00:29:37
◼
►
first place then then you know you could argue anybody has in anything other than
[TS]
00:29:43
◼
►
windows in PC market share and second places up for grabs
[TS]
00:29:49
◼
►
right and I think inevitably there there should be some kind of strong second
[TS]
00:29:54
◼
►
place right like you know even if it's really just ends up being the Mac what
[TS]
00:30:01
◼
►
the Mac was two windows at the height of the PC era somebody's gonna have an
[TS]
00:30:06
◼
►
alternative to the iPad and you know you know at least I feel like Microsoft has
[TS]
00:30:11
◼
►
a better chance of making Windows and Windows tablets be that than they do
[TS]
00:30:16
◼
►
putting a serious dent into either iOS or Android on phones so I don't know and
[TS]
00:30:21
◼
►
i also think it's a little bit more what the you know shoring up what they're
[TS]
00:30:25
◼
►
already good at like I feel like tablet sales are coming at the expense mainly
[TS]
00:30:29
◼
►
of Windows laptops else yes so that adds extra urgency and Microsoft count
[TS]
00:30:38
◼
►
started the whole tablets at CES thing I mean if you remember was it two weeks or
[TS]
00:30:43
◼
►
something before Apple you know unveiled the iPhone iPad bomber had that weird HP
[TS]
00:30:52
◼
►
Slate thing right right yeah the bomber keynote @ CES that was like a look
[TS]
00:31:01
◼
►
forward to i you know and I'll say it I regret that I never went during that era
[TS]
00:31:06
◼
►
to see how it's like the Bulls with Jordan now it's too late to take a break
[TS]
00:31:12

►

everything its hundreds of billions of dollars right so close range I just
[TS]

[TS]
00:36:50

paralysis especially with that the new Xbox out and trying to build in

count them on one hand themes of this year's CES was Fourcade TV set
[TS]
00:37:50
◼

definitely like you said the big question is will what are you well I've
[TS]
00:37:54
◼
►
actually there's two big questions for 48 TV sets 10 first one is where you
[TS]
00:37:59
◼
►
gonna get for k content because there's no point to it without Forte content and
[TS]
00:38:05
◼

so far the answer like you said his Netflix but even there they can't just
[TS]
00:38:10
◼

magically make stuff that wasn't shot for KB for K but I know that they're
[TS]
00:38:16

[TS]
00:38:35
◼
►
vertical integration have control over that sort of stuff for kids interesting
[TS]
00:38:42
◼
►
to me I'm kind of impressed by how inexpensive some of the supposedly
[TS]
00:38:48
◼
►
prices are going to be for those things I'm very frightened as to how much worse
[TS]
00:38:53
◼
►
the wire is gonna look it already does now I think I have to rewatch it once
[TS]
00:39:00
◼
►
more before I upgrade TV's or something like that
[TS]
00:39:03
◼
►
I guess it depends what it was shot on maybe the wires soldi I would go where
[TS]
00:39:09
◼
►
it was shot in a look it up this morning it was shot in SDE for by three years
[TS]
00:39:14
◼
►
there will never be an HDD remastering but didn't they should on film
[TS]
00:39:22
◼
►
couldn't they this I don't know the whatever article I read that there's no
[TS]
00:39:28
◼
►
chance to get that to go back in and turn it back into I don't think so D
[TS]
00:39:34
◼
►
you know a lot of the shows during that period like the first few seasons were
[TS]
00:39:39
◼
►
for by three and then you know something like entourage or something like that
[TS]
00:39:44
◼
►
and I think even the Sopranos like the last several seasons for NHD yeah and
[TS]
00:39:49
◼
►
there you know there was a shift and a half way through the wire all everything
[TS]
00:39:54
◼
►
was always St 4343 major disappointment
[TS]
00:40:01
◼
►
yeah it was sort of right at the tail end of that you know where is if you go
[TS]
00:40:04
◼
►
back a little further and you know like one of my favorite shows in the nineties
[TS]
00:40:09
◼
►
was NYPD blue oh yeah great show especially the first few seasons but it
[TS]
00:40:17
◼
►
doesn't break your heart that it that it's 423 standard definition because it
[TS]
00:40:22
◼

was the nineties what do you expect where's the wire it just feels like was
[TS]
00:40:26
◼
►
just a few years ago too early
[TS]
00:40:31
◼
►
here's the thing I think the bigger problem facing Fourcade is how many
[TS]
00:40:36
◼
►
people sit have a couch far enough away from their TV and have room for a big
[TS]
00:40:42
◼

enough TV or 40 actually looks better right and you get into these arguments

00:40:46
◼
►
you know the apples definitions of a Retina display of
[TS]
00:40:50
◼
►
you know its distance from the screen and some math about the pixel size but
[TS]
00:40:58
◼
►
there is a certain point where you can't discern it right and when you went from
[TS]
00:41:02
◼
►
an old 43 standard def glass picture tube TV to a flat screen plasma or LCD
[TS]
00:41:11
◼

[TS]
00:42:44
◼
►
gradually replace the HDD components and if you are buying a mid-range and
[TS]
00:42:51
◼
►
high-end TV it will be for k if you're not it'll pry be 1080p
[TS]
00:42:56
◼
►
the way today we still bias 1080 I 720p TV if you wanna spend 300 bucks in
[TS]
00:43:03
◼
►
appearance been seven eight hundred bucks to get 1080p I just don't know
[TS]
00:43:08
◼
►
that it's going to really help the industry you know spur sales I am glad I
[TS]
00:43:14
◼
►
feel like the gun I don't think of the good news to me as someone who really
[TS]
00:43:18
◼
►
despises 3d is that the whole 3d thing which is like what the last two years
[TS]
00:43:23
◼
►
they've they were putting a 3d TV sets and I just man if I could've just faded
[TS]
00:43:30
◼
►
jeans you know to give me a wish and hope that it technology fails it would
[TS]
00:43:35
◼
►
be 3d TVs cause I can't even imagine a world where you know movies are all 3d
[TS]
00:43:41
◼
►
whether you need glasses or not I 3d really gets to me every time I see it I
[TS]
00:43:46
◼
►
should get a happy though that the good guys won on that one yeah I am glad it's
[TS]
00:43:50
◼
►
a technology lose over the course of a few years and and feel good about that
[TS]
00:43:56
◼
►
yeah I feel like common sense prevailed yeah like no we don't want and we
[TS]
00:44:00
◼
►
certainly don't want to work for goggles and dressed up like that and I don't you
[TS]
00:44:05
◼
►
know I think it was not because 3d was a good idea it was because the TV
[TS]
00:44:08
◼
►
manufacturers wanted to sell new TVs to people who already bought flat-panel TVs
[TS]
00:44:12
◼
►
and so i didnt work we're trying to upsell you know the the 3d TVs as being
[TS]
00:44:18
◼
►
significantly more expensive product then right as opposed to four ka which I
[TS]
00:44:25
◼
►
can in theory get behind because more pixels to me is always better and so
[TS]
00:44:29
◼
►
it's definitely you know I'm not it again I'm not a hundred percent sold its
[TS]
00:44:33
◼
►
gonna take off because I don't know that people are gonna be able to discern the
[TS]
00:44:36
◼
►
difference unless they can
[TS]
00:44:37
◼
►
get a big enough you know sixty seventy and screen yeah I don't know about your
[TS]
00:44:42
◼
►
household but I still come home sometimes in and see that the St version
[TS]
00:44:47
◼
►
of channels being watched and that no one could tell the difference I tweeted
[TS]
00:44:54
◼

[TS]
00:44:58
◼

Jonas was playing Minecraft and I was working in the office and she just had
[TS]
00:45:03

◼
►

[TS]
00:45:39
◼
►

[TS]
00:45:42
◼
►
Comcast to just take all the standard channels all of our lineup just get him
[TS]
00:45:48
◼
►
off so that there's nothing we can't watch standard I think if you dig deep
[TS]
00:45:53
◼
►
enough in the settings on your cable box you can override this tea somehow I
[TS]
00:45:59
◼
►
don't know I'm not sure I haven't tried that yet another thing I'm wondering
[TS]
00:46:05
◼
►
about his is the bandwidth though I mean if if fork a video is you know two to
[TS]
00:46:11
◼

went retirement as for k bandwidth bandwidth yeah and so Apple's you know
[TS]
00:50:46
◼
►
obviously said not at the show much much rumored to be you know possibly working
[TS]
00:50:52
◼
►
on some kind of new TV thing whether it is a full tv sadder you know big step
[TS]
00:50:58
◼
►
forward and Apple TV I wonder how for k what their stance on that is you know I
[TS]
00:51:06
◼
►
know there's a lot of people who think well that's what I you know people who
[TS]
00:51:09
◼
►
do know that the gene monsters of the world who thinks you know right that's
[TS]
00:51:13
◼
►
what Apple's been waiting for
[TS]
00:51:15
◼
►
right been waiting for for K know about that you know about that at all
[TS]
00:51:20
◼
►
yeah I would I would say no I mean I guess you know personally I have kind of
[TS]
00:51:28
◼
►
been waiting to upgrade my TV in case Apple were to have come out with one by
[TS]
00:51:33
◼
►
now you know when it breaks I'm gonna replace it with whatever South there but
[TS]
00:51:39
◼
►
I could see a lot of people buying an Apple TV because it came out and
[TS]
00:51:46
◼
►
therefore you know if it were for k that's how they would get that's how
[TS]
00:51:49
◼
►
they would justify getting a fork a baby but I think that that's not what's been
[TS]
00:51:54
◼
►
holding them back now and then I also wonder you know because Apple controls a
[TS]
00:51:58
◼
►
lot of the content that comes out of TV because they have
[TS]
00:52:01
◼
►
have you know they they sell and rent movies and TV shows but I honestly
[TS]
00:52:05
◼
►
wonder how how much control they have over getting that stuff in for k format
[TS]
00:52:13
◼
►
I don't think it's any it's not like they've got the original negatives for
[TS]
00:52:18
◼
►
the film's incomes can emit fork a resolution you know it's up to the
[TS]
00:52:22
◼
►
studios to provide you know you know I don't know that that just because you
[TS]
00:52:29
◼
►
know so much of Apple TV content comes from iTunes I don't know that that gives
[TS]
00:52:34
◼
►
Apple much control over getting the iTunes library in the forecast I don't
[TS]
00:52:40
◼
►
know that maybe I'm wrong and how did it work with the hd2 didn't start with two
[TS]
00:52:44
◼
►
separate movies or TV shows and remember don't know that you know it was but it
[TS]
00:52:50
◼
►
wasn't all at once they couldn't
[TS]
00:52:52
◼
►
yeah well obviously they don't they don't make the content so they can just
[TS]
00:53:00
◼
►
go out on their own and do it and it seems like another opportunity for the
[TS]
00:53:05
◼
►
studios to try to get something out of Apple you know before they hand over is
[TS]
00:53:10
◼
►
it even higher res tough especially with that whole ultraviolet they may have on
[TS]
00:53:17
◼
►
their own so yeah and Apple you know big picture is often they'll often make
[TS]
00:53:24
◼
►
great leaps forward with things like being like the retina display on the
[TS]
00:53:30
◼
►
iPhone 4 2010 was a huge leap forward in resolution over every other phone on the
[TS]
00:53:38
◼
►
literally double the resolution in only one dimension as the previous generation
[TS]
00:53:43
◼
►
of iPhones and you know three hundred and some dpi hundred-and-some dpi but
[TS]
00:53:51
◼
►
then ever since they've let it go and now it went from you know and now
[TS]
00:53:55

there's other competing phones you know from the Android side that had four
[TS]
00:53:59
◼
►
hundred and some pixels per inch and I feel like with you know with Apple it's
[TS]
00:54:04
◼
►
like they'll make a big leap forward if they think there's a practical reason
[TS]
00:54:09
◼
►
for right and the original iPhone going retina was so clearly oh man this looks
[TS]
00:54:15
◼
►
so much better
[TS]
00:54:16
◼
►
special you know everything look better whereas I feel like going from three
[TS]
00:54:19
◼
►
hundred and some to 400 some dpi on a phone is you're just wasting battery you
[TS]
00:54:26
◼
►
know that it's not working with a horrible Android you are right
[TS]
00:54:31
◼
►
yeah you know see those wonderful Roboto 50 rendered in all their glory and I
[TS]
00:54:39
◼
►
almost think that from an apple perspective that 1080p is that sweet
[TS]
00:54:45
◼
►
spot looks really good and most typical household viewing scenarios you know in
[TS]
00:54:57
◼
►
terms of screen size versus distance from screen
[TS]
00:55:03
◼
►
well this was actually I still think it from this precedent for this to actually
[TS]
00:55:08
◼
►
wrote a story about this for forbes 2006 or 2007 when iTunes first started
[TS]
00:55:17
◼
►
selling movies and Amazon first though it's only movies that they were both
[TS]
00:55:22
◼
►
around the same time and what Amazon did is sold you a major download I wanna say
[TS]
00:55:32
◼
►
two copies of the movie one of them was a really big file and look good on your
[TS]
00:55:41
◼
►
computer and the other was a really small file maybe there was a pilot I
[TS]
00:55:45
◼
►
think Apple did that I seem to remember that maybe Amazon had remember anyway
[TS]
00:55:52
◼
►
alright I'll define the article I think it was able to do that too so anyway but
[TS]
00:56:06
◼
►
it didn't make sense to have a big you know 720p or 1080p file to show on your
[TS]
00:56:12
◼
►
standard death screen made no sense I here's article Apple basically Apple's
[TS]
00:56:19
◼
►
total files size was smaller than Amazon's and the question I you know I
[TS]
00:56:24
◼
►
was writing about was whether yeah Amazon had two files a large version for
[TS]
00:56:31
◼
►
computer and TV and a smaller one for a year like Rio mp3 player something like
[TS]
00:56:37
◼
►
for watching movies on your Galaxy gear yes exactly
[TS]
00:56:44
◼
►
yeah amazonas during 720 pixel within an Apple said DVD quality
[TS]
00:56:51
◼
►
640 pixels anyway the big picture is Apple saying we're okay not having the
[TS]
00:56:59
◼
►
highest resolution possible because there are better tradeoffs like download
[TS]
00:57:04
◼
►
speed that that make this better so I could see the same thing happening here
[TS]
00:57:09
◼
►
where they don't go with the most pixels possible on a TV but instead one that
[TS]
00:57:16
◼
►
will you know kind of hit the sweet spot in terms of bandwidth and content
[TS]
00:57:22
◼
►
library and all that sort of stuff I mean how lame would it be if Apple
[TS]
00:57:27
◼
►
shipped for KTV and literally nothing was was available in 4 case they
[TS]
00:57:32
◼
►
wouldn't even do that everything you have looks like shit on our new TV
[TS]
00:57:36
◼
►
well it would look like 1080p I don't think 1080p is gonna look worse on for
[TS]
00:57:40
◼
►
KTV said you know it's you think so now I don't think so I could be wrong but I
[TS]
00:57:44
◼
►
don't think so yeah well the way that nine retina apps look terrible on a
[TS]
00:57:49
◼
►
Retina screen but may have differences imperceptible from six feet away right
[TS]
00:57:56
◼
►
because if it's because I think it's more like with like the retina MacBook
[TS]
00:58:02
◼
►
Pros where you have those skilled sizes to simulate higher resolutions and they
[TS]
00:58:07
◼
►
still look fine yeah cause you're still only you're talking about pixels that
[TS]
00:58:12
◼
►
are so small even at the simulated size right the simulated pixel is bigger than
[TS]
00:58:18
◼
►
the native pixel of the display but that simulated size is still so small that
[TS]
00:58:23
◼
►
your it looks good your eyes
[TS]
00:58:25
◼
►
whereas when you upscale a non retina iPhone app on retina
[TS]
00:58:34
◼
►
those non-threatening virtual pixels are are big and you didn't see them so I
[TS]
00:58:39
◼
►
nearly certain and I'm sure I hear otherwise from you but I would bet that
[TS]
00:58:44
◼
►
1080p content looks like 1080p content on it this way yet and things like no
[TS]
00:58:51
◼
►
worse than it would on an equivalent size 1080p yep unless you get real close
[TS]
00:58:57
◼
►
which is you know which is not what happens for a TV or monitor that's a
[TS]
00:59:03
◼
►
different story but but what's the point of of power on all those pixels in
[TS]
00:59:08
◼
►
paying for all those pixels to watch 1080p when you could have just spent
[TS]
00:59:11
◼
►
less money on a 1080p native exactly that now there are things like you know
[TS]
00:59:18
◼
►
if if they have a gaming app store you know with vector based gaming artwork
[TS]
00:59:23
◼
►
that does look appreciably different na na na for KTV I don't know I guess what
[TS]
00:59:30
◼
►
to go good to see ya I just don't think to say I don't think four cases that
[TS]
00:59:35
◼
►
factor no I don't think so you know my my my thinking on this and you know just
[TS]
00:59:40
◼
►
from not having any real information but just kind of reading stuff over the
[TS]
00:59:44
◼
►
years is that Apple really wanted to have some sort of subscription service
[TS]
00:59:50
◼
►
that was just dramatically better and more interesting than a cable TV package
[TS]
00:59:57
◼
►
and couldn't get the rights for that and therefore kind of dropped the ball on a
[TS]
01:00:02
◼
►
lot of other stuff I don't know if that's true or not but that's that's the
[TS]
01:00:07
◼
►
perception I have yeah I wanted to how much of it is still fueled by what may
[TS]
01:00:16
◼
►
well just be a throwaway line in the Steve Jobs biography by Walter Isaacson
[TS]
01:00:25
◼
►
that that
[TS]
01:00:28
◼
►
somethin somethin bout TV in the job said I've cracked it and that's it yeah
[TS]
01:00:33
◼
►
you know who who even knows what that means I still am still have convinced at
[TS]
01:00:42
◼
►
least if not 51 percent convinced that the Apple TV we have today is the that's
[TS]
01:00:48
◼
►
apples TV plans and that you know they'll just come out you know it's
[TS]
01:00:52
◼
►
getting to the point where it's overdue for a new version but that it's just
[TS]
01:00:56
◼
►
gonna be another $99 box with maybe higher resolution than a better remote
[TS]
01:01:00
◼
►
I've said this so many times I still think it's the most likely scenario for
[TS]
01:01:04
◼
►
how they go forward that they just keep selling $99 set-top boxes and I'm sure
[TS]
01:01:10
◼
►
you know as a company that makes things with screens like I'm sure they've
[TS]
01:01:14
◼
►
tested out computers in every screen size imaginable they already make 30
[TS]
01:01:22
◼
►
inch display where they did so I'm sure they've tried out TV set or something
[TS]
01:01:28
◼
►
like that but making that in your product as a whole different story I do
[TS]
01:01:35
◼
►
I do I love my apples I find myself using it much more than even I did a
[TS]
01:01:42
◼
►
year ago so I really hope they do more and you know it's one of those things
[TS]
01:01:47
◼
►
where they they had maybe one channel every few weeks you don't notice it but
[TS]
01:01:52
◼
►
if you remember even a year ago they were like you know even fill up the
[TS]
01:01:56
◼
►
first screen and now there's a lot of stuff on there
[TS]
01:01:59
◼
►
yeah I'm not watching but I think they had a pretty good year of adding content
[TS]
01:02:04
◼
►
Apple TV I really do ya think it suggests that maybe they're starting to
[TS]
01:02:09
◼
►
why I had read i think is HBO you know even admitted publicly that they made
[TS]
01:02:16
◼
►
their app themselves so it sounds like Apple has some sort of very simple tool
[TS]
01:02:22
◼
►
kit that they're letting other people use now to make those channels
[TS]
01:02:26
◼
►
yeah that to me could be the you know my best guess for what he meant by a
[TS]
01:02:33
◼
►
cracked it and it's just you know maybe it's some kind of next generation thing
[TS]
01:02:38
◼
►
bluetooth for the remotes and so they maybe you could even have like gaming
[TS]
01:02:44
◼
►
remote and a real App Store SDK and let people just you know put apps on Apple
[TS]
01:02:52
◼
►
TV the same way they do their iPhone and iPad but that would work with any TV
[TS]
01:02:58
◼
►
while IDs or distribute those boxes than a massive IC whenever one of my
[TS]
01:03:09
◼
►
neighbors get City vs massive cardboard box on the site the one TV said at CES
[TS]
01:03:16
◼
►
this year that did get a little bit of my attention
[TS]
01:03:19
◼
►
stood out from the others with LG because they announced one that runs
[TS]
01:03:23
◼
►
webOS which I had forgotten that they'd purchased they like purchased webOS from
[TS]
01:03:32
◼
►
HP what's what's the thinking behind that is just that it's easy to write
[TS]
01:03:40
◼
►
apps for it
[TS]
01:03:41
◼
►
JavaScript I i guess i dont know I mean and it's obviously the original
[TS]
01:03:47
◼
►
the webOS as we knew it from the Palm Pre phone and the telecom the PlayBook
[TS]
01:03:56
◼
►
was a you know i OS style glass touchscreen interface and obviously your
[TS]
01:04:03
◼
►
TV set is not a touch screen but it seems like they kind of kept it you know
[TS]
01:04:08
◼
►
so it's not really webOS as we knew it but its webOS base similar to how you
[TS]
01:04:13
◼
►
know had a low-level technically Apple TV the one you buy today is running iOS
[TS]
01:04:17
◼
►
version of iOS it's just not it's a totally different interface
[TS]
01:04:22
◼
►
yeah I actually did a research report about the various development platforms
[TS]
01:04:28
◼
►
for Smart TVs and it's it's horrible it's WAY worse than Android like it's
[TS]
01:04:34
◼
►
almost every model year has a different SDK and you have to test them like crazy
[TS]
01:04:43
◼
►
it takes months or even years to make it a smart TV app for a lot of
[TS]
01:04:47
◼
►
manufacturing case and there are using different technology and chipsets and
[TS]
01:04:53
◼
►
all this crap and is a lot of low level stuff so it's just a disaster so if
[TS]
01:04:57
◼
►
webOS is like hey just you know HTML and Javascript and you're all set
[TS]
01:05:03
◼
►
that's a huge advantage over whatever you know Visio or Samsung has been
[TS]
01:05:09
◼
►
forcing people to do and I could be a big advantage for Apple because Apple
[TS]
01:05:14
◼
►
not only has tons of developers now you know because obviously I mean I think it
[TS]
01:05:22
◼
►
would be almost shocking if the STK were anything other then Objective C and
[TS]
01:05:26
◼
►
cocoa API's you know but optimized for TV but they also suggest that they have
[TS]
01:05:34
◼
►
developers but that they have i mean let's go all the way back to 1990 and
[TS]
01:05:39
◼
►
say you know 89 and say you know you know go back to next and say they've got
[TS]
01:05:47
◼
►
twenty to twenty-five years of experience making a developer platform
[TS]
01:05:52
◼
►
that evolves over time so that it's not you know it is familiar
[TS]
01:05:57
◼
►
you know if anybody has written an iOS app room a cab the presumed AppleTV SDK
[TS]
01:06:02
◼
►
would be pretty familiar and that as it involves year over year over year it's
[TS]
01:06:07
◼
►
not gonna break it you're over year and that you're writing a nap in 2014 and
[TS]
01:06:13
◼
►
2015 it's going to be broken
[TS]
01:06:15
◼
►
you know it would be stable stable platform that evolves over time which i
[TS]
01:06:21
◼
►
think is a big difference compared to like what you're saying about
[TS]
01:06:24
◼
►
the smart TVs on the market today
[TS]
01:06:27
◼
►
yeah and also a platform that has been smartly designed for that type of
[TS]
01:06:35
◼
►
equipments gonna run on now whereas even even the attempts to kind of shoe horn
[TS]
01:06:41
◼
►
Andhra into it
[TS]
01:06:42
◼
►
TV you know and how well that's working for me and it is this sort of thing
[TS]
01:06:49
◼
►
we're even if they come out with and I think you know obviously it would be the
[TS]
01:06:52
◼
►
thing that would slow adoption the most is if if Apple's Apple TV of the future
[TS]
01:06:58
◼
►
is a whole TV set the whole thing at once you have to buy a new TV said but
[TS]
01:07:04
◼
►
it's all built in I think that would slow adoption because obviously the
[TS]
01:07:07
◼
►
price would be higher and it would rule out anybody who says well I just bought
[TS]
01:07:11
◼
►
a TV X number of years ago replacing it even for a cool one from Apple even if
[TS]
01:07:18
◼
►
you know their market share was very low like 23 percent of the whole USTV market
[TS]
01:07:24
◼
►
that hold 23 percent would be on their app store and even a 23 percent of all
[TS]
01:07:30
◼
►
households clearly I think that would make it the the most popular platform
[TS]
01:07:36
◼
►
for developers already even with just 23 percent market share because the whole
[TS]
01:07:41
◼
►
thing is so fractured especially if they know made it openly the trouble with
[TS]
01:07:47
◼
►
stuff like the Xbox SDK is there still very tightly controlled right right
[TS]
01:07:54
◼
►
that's my biggest
[TS]
01:07:55
◼
►
can't see that being the only way to run Apple TV apps like I could see that
[TS]
01:08:00
◼
►
being the preferred way like maybe the Apple TV has you know you don't need to
[TS]
01:08:06
◼
►
have some sort of other input for the whatever remote control they have or
[TS]
01:08:11
◼
►
something like that but I can't see them forcing you to buy it the whole
[TS]
01:08:16
◼
►
television to yeah I thought the same thing to that even if they come out with
[TS]
01:08:20
◼
►
it he said they'd still have set top boxes that you can put into other TV
[TS]
01:08:25
◼
►
sets but then you get into questions of you know latency and
[TS]
01:08:30
◼
►
and if you have apps that depend upon that the lesser latency of the native
[TS]
01:08:36
◼
►
you know the the whole shebang built into the Apple one by itself how they
[TS]
01:08:40
◼
►
run on the one that sucked up by HDMI has a additional latency or something
[TS]
01:08:45
◼
►
like that I don't know but yeah I agree I don't think that they would do it that
[TS]
01:08:51
◼
►
way did you do you see any any smart watches you like this week
[TS]
01:08:57
◼
►
no not at all although wearables totally seem to be the second big theme of the
[TS]
01:09:03
◼
►
show especially i think i mean it seemed to me from my the coverage I saw sitting
[TS]
01:09:12
◼
►
at home
[TS]
01:09:13
◼
►
wrist wearables some of them watches some of them more like maybe by quantity
[TS]
01:09:18
◼
►
more of them more like a Nike FuelBand like plain band around arrest I got
[TS]
01:09:26
◼
►
people upset I guess when I called out the pedal steel is being ugly horrible
[TS]
01:09:32
◼
►
right I don't like the old Casio watches that my uncle stash had and liked the
[TS]
01:09:39
◼
►
early nineties and you can still buy those that like american apparel and
[TS]
01:09:43
◼
►
it's sort of like american apparel style retro hip like yeah they'll also sell
[TS]
01:09:47
◼
►
you a pair of like you know like the glasses my dad was wearing in 1982 the
[TS]
01:09:54
◼
►
metal bar but it's almost to me it's more almost like a knockoff of those
[TS]
01:09:59
◼
►
Casias just like the integration of the band to the watch face it just seems
[TS]
01:10:05
◼
►
really really clinically done and I I like the first one is born
[TS]
01:10:12
◼
►
I don't have one but I do have one I have so I do have some experience you
[TS]
01:10:17
◼
►
know speaking of it but like I wrote on during fireball least the other one the
[TS]
01:10:21
◼
►
original one to me it's true to itself is it a beautiful watch know but it's
[TS]
01:10:28
◼
►
to me it's no uglier than any other digital watch it's a slightly awkward
[TS]
01:10:32
◼
►
form factor may be but you know it's to support its portrait landscape display
[TS]
01:10:40
◼
►
I'd I think it's a big step backwards in my opinion because I feel like they've
[TS]
01:10:46
◼
►
concentrated like and effectively from everything I've read that like the
[TS]
01:10:51
◼
►
screen resolution is exactly the same the screen technologies the same the
[TS]
01:10:54
◼
►
insides of the same like they they're like effort over the last year has been
[TS]
01:10:58
◼
►
to to to make these met all watches in metal and leather bands as opposed to
[TS]
01:11:06
◼
►
improving the thing that I think they should have been working on which is the
[TS]
01:11:08
◼
►
software and I know they have a 2.0 software release coming to but it it's
[TS]
01:11:13
◼
►
not a better computing device it's just supposedly a better and more attractive
[TS]
01:11:18
◼
►
watch but to me it's not it's really horrid the juju people had spent that
[TS]
01:11:25
◼
►
whole year making the case look better as thats what was gonna make it right
[TS]
01:11:30
◼
►
more competitive against the inevitable iPad right and the thing that got me and
[TS]
01:11:34
◼
►
no offense to the public people and I'm rooting for them I hope pebble becomes a
[TS]
01:11:38
◼
►
long-term success
[TS]
01:11:39
◼
►
terms of you know who I would love to see a power company like people grow and
[TS]
01:11:43
◼
►
become a success I just feel like this generation is a step backwards and that
[TS]
01:11:48
◼
►
they've lost their way they've lost their eyes off the ball
[TS]
01:11:54
◼
►
but they said it a couple came out at CES and said we've made it our watches
[TS]
01:11:58
◼
►
look better and all the tech press was like pebble has made their watches look
[TS]
01:12:02
◼
►
better because that's what they said as opposed to looking at them and the same
[TS]
01:12:06
◼
►
man he's up watches are ugh yeah so here's the next annoying trend for the
[TS]
01:12:14
◼
►
next year maybe forward is tech companies like that the nerdiest of
[TS]
01:12:21
◼

nerdy tech companies pretending that that they have friends in the fashion

semiconductor company inviting fashion people to hear what they're doing in

fashion like I can't even imagine how awesome that I think my favorite part of
[TS]
01:12:55
◼
►
that invitation is the word next though there have been previous Intel is
[TS]
01:13:02
◼
►
opposed to Intel's previous forays into fashion when they took pentium three
[TS]
01:13:09
◼
►
chips that failed testing on the assembly line and turn them into
[TS]
01:13:12
◼
►
necklaces when they added YKK zippers to the bunny suit
[TS]
01:13:22
◼
►
yes you know of course Apple to just hired the CEO buries so that's cool but
[TS]
01:13:29
◼
►
you just gonna be on and on and on about it was when I read this department store
[TS]
01:13:36
◼
►
called opening ceremony is doing something with some I don't remember
[TS]
01:13:42
◼
►
some wearable tech stuff all its all this wearable tech stuff we got passion
[TS]
01:13:46
◼
►
people gonna be ok but yeah i feel like i dont know I feel like different people
[TS]
01:13:55
◼
►
obviously have different tastes and of course no doubt zeroed out my mind of
[TS]
01:13:59
◼
►
course there are some people who think the new pub watches look just fine or
[TS]
01:14:04
◼
►
even good course but I think in the mass market I feel very very confident
[TS]
01:14:08
◼
►
betting that they are gonna go over like led balloons and number two they cost
[TS]
01:14:14
◼
►
two hundred and fifty bucks which I know by the standards of like a Rolex or
[TS]
01:14:19
◼
►
something like that is low but that's you know it's probably more than you
[TS]
01:14:23
◼
►
know a lot more than the average person has ever spent much of her life it's
[TS]
01:14:28
◼
►
decent chunk of change in the same amount of money you spend on an iPod or
[TS]
01:14:35
◼
►
something like that and I feel like gets a pass from a lot of the tech either the
[TS]
01:14:45
◼
►
tech crash or Tech fans who read the tech press because they're a little guy
[TS]
01:14:50
◼
►
and there is an upstart but kick-start or success but two hundred and fifty
[TS]
01:14:55
◼
►
bucks is two hundred and fifty bucks and if they're charging $250 for a consumer
[TS]
01:15:01
◼
►
to buy this gadget it should be judged by the same standards as say Apple or
[TS]
01:15:07
◼
►
Amazon Kindle Samsung or anybody it's the same two hundred and fifty bucks and
[TS]
01:15:14
◼
►
you know if Apple came out with a watch that looked like double it it would and
[TS]
01:15:20
◼
►
should cause their stocks to collapse caused like a 50% decrease in the price
[TS]
01:15:26
◼
►
of the stock
[TS]
01:15:27
◼
►
because it would have to make you think that if they came out with a watch it
[TS]
01:15:31
◼
►
and it looked like the double steal I would say the company is doomed and
[TS]
01:15:35
◼
►
every type I was wrong
[TS]
01:15:37
◼
►
steve Jobs was the entire company
[TS]
01:15:41
◼
►
Jony ive is a fraud right and I'm not saying that that means that pebble is
[TS]
01:15:46
◼
►
doomed I just think it means that people still has a lot of work ahead of them to
[TS]
01:15:50
◼
►
get there because you can you can excuse pebble as an upstart for having
[TS]
01:15:54
◼
►
something but I still feel like it's up to the tech press in the critics to call
[TS]
01:15:59
◼
►
it as I see it as it is right yeah it's a you know an early adopter
[TS]
01:16:05
◼
►
nerd nerd toy and that these guys are basically you know a lab upstart cool
[TS]
01:16:10
◼
►
that's awesome but it's being pitched as if it should be a some sort of
[TS]
01:16:14
◼
►
mainstream things right and I don't think it's there and I don't see it I
[TS]
01:16:20
◼
►
think the fitness trackers kind of sort of our if you're into that you know and
[TS]
01:16:25
◼
►
and I was thinking about that this week it never really occurred to me before
[TS]
01:16:28
◼
►
but everybody knows everybody follows the stuff knows that Tim Cook has worn a
[TS]
01:16:33
◼
►
Nike FuelBand for a couple of years at least and is on the board of nineteen
[TS]
01:16:40
◼
►
raid I can't remember any Apple executive publicly using technology from
[TS]
01:16:49
◼
►
any other company ever and I know it now Apple unlike you have a kind of
[TS]
01:16:53
◼
►
relationship and I know that you know like the integration with the iPod but I
[TS]
01:16:59
◼
►
think it's a dangerous you put in your IQ + yeah whatever it's called but
[TS]
01:17:04
◼
►
there's a good thing you can buy to put your sneaker and when they announced it
[TS]
01:17:07
◼
►
I remembered thinking like so is is jobs gonna wear nike sneakers instead of his
[TS]
01:17:12
◼
►
new balance and he did like the one event he had like a pair of Nikes on
[TS]
01:17:15
◼
►
so it's not any way back
[TS]
01:17:19
◼
►
yeah just for that event but I i and I always wonder about that like if you
[TS]
01:17:25
◼
►
know and I think about some of the stupidest things because I feel like
[TS]
01:17:28
◼
►
nobody else I'd love to get the story on that like did somebody have to go up to
[TS]
01:17:32
◼
►
Steve Jobs and say hey Steve better if you were apparent nike's and like what
[TS]
01:17:38
◼
►
was his reaction or what did Jobs himself say give me apparently keys to
[TS]
01:17:41
◼
►
wear for this thing yeah did he did with them I don't remember exactly how it
[TS]
01:17:46
◼
►

[TS]
01:17:53
◼
►

[TS]
01:18:05
◼
►
Nike shoes and he certainly did you know obviously the Nike shoes Nike tractor
[TS]
01:18:10
◼
►
and I can't remember anybody else wearing a sonata fitness hobbyist no I
[TS]
01:18:20
◼
►

[TS]
01:18:30
◼
►
basically mound bayou and stuff like that definitely fitness efficient and
[TS]
01:18:39
◼
►
like you said he's on a keyboard yes which has always been weird to me
[TS]
01:18:43
◼
►
recently I guess he pulling an Eric Schmidt I don't know and it's it would
[TS]
01:18:48
◼
►
seem the extraordinarily out of character for him to pull in Nike Eric
[TS]
01:18:52
◼
►
Schmidt yeah which would be to unveil like a Nike Plus Nike FuelBand killer
[TS]
01:18:58
◼
►
yes Apple gas gas water whatever right gasped and it's not just because he's on
[TS]
01:19:05
◼
►
the board and you know and that he wears one but they they even specifically
[TS]
01:19:10
◼
►
called out Nike when they announced the iPhone 5 ass with the m7 co-processor
[TS]
01:19:20
◼
►
you know in that it's not just for the iPhone used but third party apps can tap
[TS]
01:19:24
◼
►
into it and at night he was the one that called out you know an app has shipped
[TS]
01:19:29
◼
►
and at night he has an app that can use the data from you know that they've
[TS]
01:19:33
◼
►
they've Apple stance on that is sort of been that you know that is therefore
[TS]
01:19:38
◼
►
everybody's not just then yes and I where they work together on something
[TS]
01:19:47
◼
►
like that
[TS]
01:19:48
◼
►
well i gonna make shoes shoes for something then we're a mean wearable
[TS]
01:19:55
◼
►
stuff definitely me as technology has everything shrinks you know everything
[TS]
01:20:01
◼
►
from cameras to two batteries to the CPUs mean wearable is obviously have no
[TS]
01:20:07
◼
►
future directions for computers but what are they gonna do write what you know
[TS]
01:20:13
◼
►
put it in Clayton Christensen's did you
[TS]
01:20:17
◼
►
terms with what's the job to be done what are you hiring these wearable
[TS]
01:20:22
◼
►
devices to do and it seems like the one thing that's been a success so far is
[TS]
01:20:27
◼
►
stuff like the FuelBand and fit debt where you're hiring these devices to
[TS]
01:20:31
◼
►
track what you've done all day and tell you how far you've gone and you know to
[TS]
01:20:36
◼
►
help you track your goals for burning calories throughout the day but that's a
[TS]
01:20:40
◼
►
niche and I feel like it's already being satisfied that you like anybody who just
[TS]
01:20:44
◼
►
wants to know how far they walked in how many stairs they've climbed you can
[TS]
01:20:50
◼
►
already buy a device at a reasonable price that works really well and
[TS]
01:20:56
◼
►
integrates you know with your computer so you can store the data and stuff like
[TS]
01:21:00
◼
►
that I don't have any building it into the iPhone right
[TS]
01:21:06
◼
►
chips already built into the iPhone you know and
[TS]
01:21:10
◼
►
I just don't see that as a market that's ripe for disruption right just doesn't
[TS]
01:21:16
◼
►
seem like there's any kind of problem with those devices if all you want to do
[TS]
01:21:20
◼
►
is track fitness their day seemed to work really well and be pretty elegant
[TS]
01:21:24
◼
►
as opposed to the pre iPhone smartphone market which was a mass and the phone
[TS]
01:21:30
◼
►
said terrible interfaces and confusing and you know everybody you know how to
[TS]
01:21:36
◼
►
use their phones and it was just right for something like that fun to come in I
[TS]
01:21:41
◼
►
just don't see that in the fitness tracking now time to say again Apple
[TS]
01:21:45
◼
►
shirley is working on wearable stuff tiny little things but I don't think of
[TS]
01:21:49
◼
►
fitness tracker is that yes could be something that does fitness tracking as
[TS]
01:21:55
◼
►
part of a dozen other things but that's not at the device just as you know i pod
[TS]
01:22:03
◼
►
is also a nap but whatever the music you know the way so yeah I don't know and
[TS]
01:22:09
◼
►
you know what is the job hiring it for ya I don't know I feel like that is just
[TS]
01:22:15
◼
►
it was not answered by anybody at CES I didn't see anything that makes me think
[TS]
01:22:19
◼
►
wow that's that's kind of important step forward i guess i another thing I was
[TS]
01:22:24
◼
►
did you see that the wearable thing that record audio around you
[TS]
01:22:29
◼
►
for ninety minutes on Hulu percent ninety seconds yet sixty 60 second
[TS]
01:22:35
◼
►
continuing forget the name of it s on the verge quarter yeah something it's
[TS]
01:22:42
◼
►
interesting because I do feel like that's that's inevitably where some of
[TS]
01:22:45
◼
►
this stuff is going right the ideas you got sixty seconds of recording at all
[TS]
01:22:50
◼
►
times and it just drops off at 61 seconds ago just dropped off at the end
[TS]
01:22:55
◼
►
of the buffer but then if something has happened within the last minute that you
[TS]
01:22:59
◼
►
want to save you hit a button and it saves that audio so if you know
[TS]
01:23:05
◼
►
you know it's the audio equivalent of capturing that photo that you're
[TS]
01:23:12
◼
►
watching happen as you take your phone idea pocket and I remember I forget who
[TS]
01:23:16
◼
►
linked to a bit late one of the questions on the website is is it legal
[TS]
01:23:21
◼
►
which is half funny in the creepy Shenzhen have sort of you know we're
[TS]
01:23:26
◼
►
gonna have to face this because just think like if you just go for it
[TS]
01:23:30
◼
►
ten years is probably even too much but ten years from now the storage on our
[TS]
01:23:37
◼
►
phone size devices is gonna be so much bigger and hopefully battery life will
[TS]
01:23:45
◼
►
be so much better at doing something like recording a 60 minute buffer of
[TS]
01:23:50
◼
►
audio you know would not strain the device at all and so why not like how do
[TS]
01:23:54
◼
►
you know if somebody isn't recording it and you know and and project forward
[TS]
01:23:59
◼
►
with something like Google glass that people wear on my glasses with a much
[TS]
01:24:03
◼
►
smaller camera and heads up display so that it you don't see it
[TS]
01:24:09
◼
►
per say you know what happens if you can't see the camerons somebody's
[TS]
01:24:12
◼
►
glasses you have no way to distinguish between someone who's wearing non smart
[TS]
01:24:19
◼
►
glasses and regular glasses and it has the storage that it can just or a 60
[TS]
01:24:25
◼
►
minute buffer at all times so that you don't have to record in advance you
[TS]
01:24:28
◼
►
can't just decide hey this last five minutes has been sensational you know I
[TS]
01:24:32
◼
►
just saw I don't know cab burst into flames on the street I've got footage of
[TS]
01:24:37
◼
►
it I didn't remember to hit record but I can't just say right now they say the
[TS]
01:24:41
◼
►
last five minutes
[TS]
01:24:42
◼
►
yeah I just got into a really great argument with the drunk guy I wish I
[TS]
01:24:46
◼
►
could post that to SoundCloud or something I'm not entirely comfortable
[TS]
01:24:50
◼
►
about that I don't think it's a great idea but I I am it's happening right now
[TS]
01:24:55
◼
►
you know exactly exactly that's my main point where it's going to be so we kind
[TS]
01:25:01
◼
►
of have to come to grips with ya and figure out how you know what's going to
[TS]
01:25:05
◼
►
be considered acceptable
[TS]
01:25:07
◼
►
and for better and worse like all those Russian dash cam video of my life so you
[TS]
01:25:15
◼
►
know this is absolutely an upside to this is not a separate device but it's
[TS]
01:25:22
◼
►
it's an app on my Apple you know whatever it now I guess that's probably
[TS]
01:25:27
◼
►
the best in a in in a weird way those Russian dash cams which apparently
[TS]
01:25:32
◼
►
everybody gets you have to have your insurance even mandates it in russia
[TS]
01:25:36
◼
►
because something like so much insurance fraud problems in russia and in car
[TS]
01:25:43
◼
►
insurance that everybody has these always on dash cams they're always
[TS]
01:25:47
◼
►
recording when your cars on and so yes you said your YouTube is just fall of
[TS]
01:25:53
◼
►
all sorts of fantastic footage that never would have been captured before
[TS]
01:25:57
◼
►
it's almost like thats the canary in the coalmine like the future of everything I
[TS]
01:26:03
◼
►
get some point everything will be like Russian Tascam everything that happens
[TS]
01:26:07
◼
►
will be if it if it was all wish we could put that on YouTube you'll have it
[TS]
01:26:10
◼
►
to put on YouTube shifted you see that the plane crash today did you know some
[TS]
01:26:15
◼
►
some guy had his GoPro camera on while he was in a plane crash in you know
[TS]
01:26:22
◼
►
survived but there's a YouTube video
[TS]
01:26:25
◼
►
yeah it was maybe you played but when I was looking at Twitter this morning it's
[TS]
01:26:33
◼
►
whatever it was
[TS]
01:26:34
◼
►
retweeting
[TS]
01:26:35
◼
►
the act crazy you know that's the new normal is that that everything is

[TS]
01:26:46

[TS]
01:27:03
◼
►

think is a fine idea somebody on Twitter you know I think something like safety
[TS]
01:27:39

01:30:15
◼
►
hyperbole i general genuinely wonder whether CSS ever would have made it as a
[TS]
01:30:20
◼
►
mainstream technology without Eric Meyer because Eric Meyer he made it
[TS]
01:30:26
◼
►
understandable you know it's a weird a weird way to specify styles and it was
[TS]
01:30:30
◼
►
really weird compare was weird compared to what we did before CSS on the web and
[TS]
01:30:35
◼
►
it was very weird compared to what designers were used to in the print
[TS]
01:30:38
◼
►
world and Eric Meyer really help make that understandable where the two guys
[TS]
01:30:42
◼
►
are started an Event Apart they're not the only speakers at the whole great
[TS]
01:30:46
◼
►
lineup of speakers and also the only thing that really set an Event Apart
[TS]
01:30:51
◼
►
about is that it's not just want to hear it
[TS]
01:30:55
◼
►
tours and it comes to you effectively they have upcoming events in Atlanta
[TS]
01:31:03
◼
►

[TS]
01:31:12
◼
►
through August adding you go further I think there's one in Austin coming up
[TS]
01:31:17
◼
►

[TS]
01:31:21
◼
►
I've been to an Event Apart several times i three or four times and it's
[TS]
01:31:27
◼
►
always great it's always knew every year the speakers are always on the cutting
[TS]
01:31:32
◼
►
edge and stuff all sorts of new stuff like stuff that we take for granted
[TS]
01:31:37
◼
►
maybe even today like responsive web design where you make one design that
[TS]
01:31:44
◼
►
scales to go from everywhere from a 3.5 inch iPhone to a 27 inch iMac
[TS]
01:31:50
◼
►
came on stage at an event part go to an event and Event Apart dot com to find
[TS]
01:32:00
◼
►
out more
[TS]
01:32:01
◼
►
to find out the the dates and locations where they're coming and if you use this
[TS]
01:32:06
◼
►
URL and Event Apart dot com slash talk show just talk show know that I don't
[TS]
01:32:15
◼
►

[TS]
01:32:19
◼
►
can't recommend it enough great great conference and anybody who build
[TS]
01:32:24
◼
►
websites if you you owe it to yourself to go so what a CSCS I guess the only
[TS]
01:32:33
◼
►
other big thing I saw was that there's a lot of car companies who are there yeah
[TS]
01:32:40
◼
►
I know I wonder if there i mean you know I guess they they want to be considered
[TS]
01:32:46
◼
►
consumer electronics as well and it's really hard for him because I've never
[TS]
01:32:53
◼
►
owned a car so I don't really know I got member when cars got CD players in our
[TS]
01:32:59
◼
►
school and now I get in the cabin they have the name of the song that's playing
[TS]
01:33:03
◼
►
and i'm just still another did that on the radio
[TS]
01:33:08
◼
►
piano you know and Ford and Microsoft I guess have that kind of alliance
[TS]
01:33:14
◼
►
yeah and and there was something that already in Android but it didn't seem
[TS]
01:33:20
◼
►
like it was a lot more hyped before CES than when the show came in land in terms
[TS]
01:33:25
◼
►
of anything that was actually announced yeah just seems so so forced I'm still
[TS]
01:33:35
◼
►
waiting for to see how the announced back at WWDC but still you know it seems
[TS]
01:33:42
◼
►
like the cards are gonna come out until later this year how this iOS in the car
[TS]
01:33:46
◼
►
turns out which is more or less
[TS]
01:33:50
◼
►
a way to let you use your iPhone presumably but I work with iPads too but
[TS]
01:33:55
◼
►
you bring your iPad or iPhone to your cart plug it in and then the UI of your
[TS]
01:34:01
◼
►
car is driven by iOS I don't know you know I have so many questions about that
[TS]
01:34:08
◼
►
I feel like you know they did just kind of threw up a bunch of you know here's
[TS]
01:34:11
◼
►
the car companies who have got on board so far and in theory it sounds great and
[TS]
01:34:16
◼
►
one of the things that sounds great about it is that rather than build say
[TS]
01:34:20
◼
►
build Android 4.3 into the dash of your car but then you keep your car for 10
[TS]
01:34:26
◼
►
years and ten years from now you're running an old version of Android if it
[TS]
01:34:29
◼
►
was forward-thinking enough and it was just you plug your phone and then when
[TS]
01:34:33
◼
►
you get a new phone and your to your car get smarter to ya you get new stuff and
[TS]
01:34:39
◼
►
you keep going forward and a new OS and perhaps and all that stuff you know like
[TS]
01:34:46
◼
►
in the same way that Steve Jobs on stage seven years ago the original iPhone
[TS]
01:34:51
◼
►
introductions saying let's get rid of all these little plastic buttons on
[TS]
01:34:55
◼
►
these phones because you can't change them over time and if you come up with a
[TS]
01:34:58
◼
►
new idea in six months you can't add a new button joystick or whatever to do it
[TS]
01:35:03
◼
►
let's make it all software I feel like that same sort of logic applies to let's
[TS]
01:35:08
◼
►
let the brains of the car's computer be your phone because you're gonna upgrade
[TS]
01:35:13
◼
►
your phone a lot more fruit most people at least are going to upgrade the phone
[TS]
01:35:16
◼
►
a lot more frequently than their car unless you leave to get people who
[TS]
01:35:21
◼
►
attended you know maybe upgrade on the phone like cycle but people who buy
[TS]
01:35:27
◼
►
their card oh yeah and I saw actually really interesting chart on Twitter
[TS]
01:35:31
◼
►
today which is like how people commute and I have something like seventy
[TS]
01:35:35
◼
►
percent of people commute in a car by themselves so it actually is like a real
[TS]
01:35:42
◼
►
abuse case and a real market there's no millions billions I guess about hours a
[TS]
01:35:48
◼
►
year or so far commute so that's certainly a market for audio apps audio
[TS]
01:35:57
◼
►
advertising
[TS]
01:36:00
◼
►
I don't think games are or video really well I guess for the backseat well it's
[TS]
01:36:05
◼
►
about attention right i mean the quote-unquote attention economy which is
[TS]
01:36:10
◼
►
sort of us sounds like a buzzword but I think it's an important really is an
[TS]
01:36:15
◼
►
important component of understanding the whole you know computer industry today I
[TS]
01:36:22
◼
►
mean that computers / entertainment industry is that all sorts of things are
[TS]
01:36:27
◼
►
constantly in flux except for the fact that we only have 24 hours a day right
[TS]
01:36:33
◼
►
everybody only has so much attention and it's it's become them you know it's a
[TS]
01:36:38
◼
►
limited resource and you know the supply is constant and the demand is ever
[TS]
01:36:46
◼
►
growing or I guess the supply of potential I guess it's that I guess on
[TS]
01:36:51
◼
►
the supply demand curve the demand is constant because we each only have so
[TS]
01:36:56
◼
►
much attention to give but the supply of what we could give it to his infant and
[TS]
01:37:03
◼
►
has been mostly you know dominated by terrestrial radio forever basically
[TS]
01:37:10
◼
►
right and even you know what's the bigger change in recent years has been
[TS]
01:37:15
◼
►
satellite radio which is just terrestrial radio better using a
[TS]
01:37:22
◼
►
different distribution technology it's far closer to terrestrial radio in terms
[TS]
01:37:28
◼
►
of experience and content than the internet or anything exciting
[TS]
01:37:34
◼
►
interactive
[TS]
01:37:35
◼
►
yeah I think it's interesting I bet this one of those things where just to get
[TS]
01:37:39
◼
►
this technology in the car probably has at least a two year maybe three year
[TS]
01:37:45
◼
►
lead time so that's probably part of the answer as to why it's one of those
[TS]
01:37:51
◼
►
things that they cannot mention quickly and then hope you don't think too much
[TS]
01:37:55
◼
►
about unless your gonna be developing for that sort of thing but once it's in
[TS]
01:38:01
◼
►
there if it is modular if it's something that you know your phone is powering
[TS]
01:38:05
◼
►
kinda like a real a real use case for the Palm folio maybe but there really is
[TS]
01:38:13
◼
►
built into a car it actually makes sense but I you know I think like your said
[TS]
01:38:18
◼
►
wait with that statistic we're seventy percent probably the Americans got it
[TS]
01:38:21
◼
►
camp you i think i mean america's clearly skewed in that direction of you
[TS]
01:38:28
◼
►
know solo commuters in a car but you know certainly it's no certainly not
[TS]
01:38:35
◼
►
unique I mean there's you know people who drive to work all over the world but
[TS]
01:38:41
◼
►
if you can get them to shift their keep me from being bored to death while I do
[TS]
01:38:46
◼
►
this for an hour or two hours or in I'm know there's all sorts of statistics on
[TS]
01:38:52
◼
►
the number of people who have like two hour plus commute day and shift that
[TS]
01:38:57
◼
►
keep me from going insane from the radio whether it's stressful or satellite and
[TS]
01:39:05
◼
►
switch that to iOS or Android you know any other platform boy that's a huge
[TS]
01:39:09
◼
►
opportunity like to suddenly have two more hours
[TS]
01:39:13
◼
►
somebody's attention today going into the you know app economy and economy
[TS]
01:39:20
◼
►
yeah and you know I guess the early adopters are the new york city cabbies
[TS]
01:39:25
◼
►
who have chat lines that they're on all day just kind of interesting you know
[TS]
01:39:31
◼
►
that's not really a mainstream thing but
[TS]
01:39:34
◼
►
that that's certainly one thing that could be more easily done with some sort
[TS]
01:39:39
◼
►
of a platform in your car
[TS]
01:39:41
◼
►
yeah I I have no doubt in my mind I mean I haven't done any I haven't conducted a
[TS]
01:39:46
◼
►
survey maybe I should I don't know but there's no doubt in my mind that the
[TS]
01:39:49
◼
►
whole rise in podcasting as a popular and you know something I can actually be
[TS]
01:39:57
◼
►
a business is a large part driven by commuters definitely I mean I don't
[TS]
01:40:03
◼
►
commute so I i listen too far fewer podcasts then most people who listen to
[TS]
01:40:09
◼
►
the show but I think back to the years when I did and then this is the thing
[TS]
01:40:14
◼
►
we're done the matter if you're in a car and I mean people on you know who walked
[TS]
01:40:18
◼
►
a worker it take a subway to work or anything like that any kind of public
[TS]
01:40:21
◼
►
transportation
[TS]
01:40:22
◼
►
you know you can listen to podcasts and I was no doubt in my mind that it
[TS]
01:40:26
◼
►
commuting is the attention fuel behind podcasting as a business
[TS]
01:40:34
◼
►
yeah I think that I'll be definitely one of the the home screen apps on whatever
[TS]
01:40:40
◼
►
that UI looks but I think it wouldn't it be great if forecasts or whatever it's
[TS]
01:40:45
◼
►
going to be great to get your yes under cats Marcos podcast app overcast
[TS]
01:40:54
◼
►
overcast yeah that would be great if your podcast that were on your phone
[TS]
01:41:05
◼
►
whereas natively accessible in the car as turning on the radio right that's to
[TS]
01:41:12
◼
►
me is what this iOS in the car hopefully is getting out where you don't it's not
[TS]
01:41:16
◼
►
like you're sitting there fiddling with cable connectors and a phone interface
[TS]
01:41:21
◼
►
that isn't really meant to be used while you're in the car you know when you want
[TS]
01:41:25
◼
►
to turn on the radio you just punch about right and then the station you
[TS]
01:41:29
◼
►
twisted dial
[TS]
01:41:30
◼
►
will not be great if you can pick through your podcast that easily and
[TS]
01:41:34
◼
►
that drives me nuts that Siri doesn't understand the concept of a podcast they
[TS]
01:41:40
◼
►
have I say play the latest episode of the talk show even in the native pride
[TS]
01:41:45
◼
►
cast at ya boy would be great if you get Siri you know in this opens up a whole
[TS]
01:41:53
◼
►
show about you know Syrian third party apps but boy wouldn't it be great if you
[TS]
01:41:58
◼
►
know every podcast app could just provide series with a look here's a
[TS]
01:42:03
◼
►
structured data in the format you want here's the content I have to offer and
[TS]
01:42:08
◼
►
so that the person can say way the newest episode of the talks so talk show
[TS]
01:42:15
◼
►
in overcast and where I left off listening to headphones iCloud knows
[TS]
01:42:21
◼
►
well I guess that would be up to each app but I think it their own way even
[TS]
01:42:27
◼
►
when podcast were part of the iTunes App you know the music app ipod whatever is
[TS]
01:42:33
◼
►
called it still couldn't couldn't handle it can do songs albums and all that kind
[TS]
01:42:38
◼
►
of stuff but can't can't handle podcast right I hope that's the other thing to
[TS]
01:42:44
◼
►
me is clearly the future of entertainment in your car if if not the
[TS]
01:42:48
◼
►
present right from sure there's a lot of people it's already the present but the
[TS]
01:42:51
◼
►
future of entertainment in your car it's not FM radio and I thinks that satellite
[TS]
01:42:58
◼
►
radio temporary cluj
[TS]
01:43:01
◼
►
howard stern it's casting its its cellular IP right and why pay for some
[TS]
01:43:11
◼
►
kind of cellular IP built into the car when you've already got your phone with
[TS]
01:43:14
◼
►
you every single time you step into the car and your car has plenty of energy to
[TS]
01:43:20
◼
►
bear to keep your phone charged while you use it you know so hopefully that's
[TS]
01:43:27
◼
►
the future but there didn't seem to be any kind of major progress on that front
[TS]
01:43:31
◼
►
at CES I was curious whether anybody was going to come out with something
[TS]
01:43:36
◼
►
compelling before Apple does and it doesn't seem like that happen but maybe
[TS]
01:43:43
◼
►
maybe that's the wrong venue for another 90 yeah maybe you know you never know
[TS]
01:43:47
◼
►
but you know but then why else would all these people be a show or something like
[TS]
