[TS]
00:04:39
◼
►
right on the last show we discussed the
[TS]
00:04:43
◼
►
Microsoft Surface a bit and has it
[TS]
00:04:46
◼
►
relates to the ipad mini both of which
[TS]
00:04:48
◼
►
came out around the same time or
[TS]
00:04:49
◼
►
announced 11 ship timon was announced
[TS]
00:04:53
◼
►
and at one point we're discussing
[TS]
00:04:55
◼
►
storage sizes and how the mini comes in
[TS]
00:04:58
◼
►
16 but the smallest surface is 32 and
[TS]
00:05:01
◼
►
I'd mentioned that someone said
[TS]
00:05:02
◼
►
something about the OS on the surface
[TS]
00:05:05
◼
►
taking up like 12 gigabytes so that 32
[TS]
00:05:07
◼
►
gig model really you only got 20 left
[TS]
00:05:09
◼
►
after everything's in there so Karsten
[TS]
00:05:12
◼
►
sills and a couple of that people wrote
[TS]
00:05:14
◼
►
in with more concrete numbers on how
[TS]
00:05:16
◼
►
much room is taken up this is pulled
[TS]
00:05:18
◼
►
from the anon tech review of Windows RT
[TS]
00:05:21
◼
►
and the surface and all that stuff link
[TS]
00:05:23
◼
►
is in the show notes and on says that
[TS]
00:05:26
◼
►
between 6.5 and 7.5 gigabytes are taken
[TS]
00:05:29
◼
►
up with the OS and then another 750 to
[TS]
00:05:31
◼
►
850 megabytes for office which comes
[TS]
00:05:33
◼
►
with the thing so it's not 12 total
[TS]
00:05:36
◼
►
taken up I said it he had about 25 gigs
[TS]
00:05:40
◼
►
left on a 32 gig surface not much
[TS]
00:05:45
◼
►
alright no no that's actually wrongly
[TS]
00:05:47
◼
►
said it said 25 gigs have started to
[TS]
00:05:48
◼
►
start with so after Windows and Office
[TS]
00:05:50
◼
►
well it's 17 gigs left for programs and
[TS]
00:05:53
◼
►
documents ah sorry the general idea that
[TS]
00:05:56
◼
►
the OS and office take up a lot of room
[TS]
00:05:59
◼
►
on the shipping service is true and
[TS]
00:06:02
◼
►
that's probably why like on a 16 if you
[TS]
00:06:06
◼
►
had seven or eight dedicated to that
[TS]
00:06:08
◼
►
then it's down to like 10 you know
[TS]
00:06:10
◼
►
anyway the general idea that the surface
[TS]
00:06:13
◼
►
software takes up more room than does
[TS]
00:06:15
◼
►
the ipad is still valid but the numbers
[TS]
00:06:17
◼
►
from last week were incorrect and
[TS]
00:06:18
◼
►
according to non tech these are the
[TS]
00:06:19
◼
►
numbers he actually saw on his devices
[TS]
00:06:20
◼
►
something else from last week discussing
[TS]
00:06:24
◼
►
and now we're I guess we're talking
[TS]
00:06:26
◼
►
about new hardware or maybe in the past
[TS]
00:06:27
◼
►
about the macbook pro screens where
[TS]
00:06:31
◼
►
they're fusing the glass to the display
[TS]
00:06:34
◼
►
for the retina right models
[TS]
00:06:36
◼
►
as opposed to having an LCD panel and
[TS]
00:06:38
◼
►
then like a small air gap and then just
[TS]
00:06:40
◼
►
like a piece of glass so that I was
[TS]
00:06:41
◼
►
saying if you you know dropped your keys
[TS]
00:06:43
◼
►
on your screen or scratched it or
[TS]
00:06:45
◼
►
something you haven't actually scratched
[TS]
00:06:47
◼
►
the screen with the old way you could
[TS]
00:06:48
◼
►
just replace the glass on the front and
[TS]
00:06:50
◼
►
the LCD panel itself is protected by
[TS]
00:06:52
◼
►
this sacrificial glass and they're not
[TS]
00:06:54
◼
►
fused together apparently even on those
[TS]
00:06:57
◼
►
old models where it had the piece of
[TS]
00:06:59
◼
►
glass and then the screen if you were to
[TS]
00:07:01
◼
►
do that like scratch it up or and get a
[TS]
00:07:03
◼
►
thing replaced they always replaced it
[TS]
00:07:05
◼
►
as a single module anyway like they
[TS]
00:07:06
◼
►
replaced the screen and the glass at the
[TS]
00:07:08
◼
►
same time that's that's from stephen
[TS]
00:07:10
◼
►
hackett on twitter and then Thomas brand
[TS]
00:07:13
◼
►
on Twitter explained it because I asked
[TS]
00:07:15
◼
►
why why would they why wouldn't they
[TS]
00:07:16
◼
►
just replace the glass he said it's
[TS]
00:07:17
◼
►
because the glass is glued to the lid
[TS]
00:07:19
◼
►
and the two can't be removed without
[TS]
00:07:20
◼
►
heat and so they don't do that repair in
[TS]
00:07:23
◼
►
the Apple stores you know in the back
[TS]
00:07:25
◼
►
room with like a heat gun or whatever
[TS]
00:07:27
◼
►
it's just like they just sorry just give
[TS]
00:07:28
◼
►
them a whole new thing so that's why
[TS]
00:07:29
◼
►
they replace it as you mentioned I don't
[TS]
00:07:32
◼
►
know I mean I guess I don't want them
[TS]
00:07:33
◼
►
removing it or maybe the type of thing
[TS]
00:07:35
◼
►
where if you use a heat gun to like
[TS]
00:07:36
◼
►
loosen up the glue and you pull it out
[TS]
00:07:37
◼
►
like it's never the same again and it'll
[TS]
00:07:39
◼
►
never get glued back right so they just
[TS]
00:07:40
◼
►
replace it as a unit and finally on the
[TS]
00:07:43
◼
►
topic also from Twitter Tanner Silva
[TS]
00:07:45
◼
►
said that he got his screen replaced on
[TS]
00:07:49
◼
►
his 15-inch retina MacBook Pro and the
[TS]
00:07:51
◼
►
total cost was eight hundred and
[TS]
00:07:52
◼
►
forty-six dollars hmm so not cheap be
[TS]
00:07:56
◼
►
careful with those screens on the topic
[TS]
00:08:00
◼
►
of the imac the new iMac which we
[TS]
00:08:02
◼
►
discussed last time we were talking
[TS]
00:08:04
◼
►
about why is that chin still there that
[TS]
00:08:07
◼
►
why doesn't just look like you know the
[TS]
00:08:08
◼
►
monitor the chinky smaller and
[TS]
00:08:10
◼
►
de-emphasize but is still there it's got
[TS]
00:08:12
◼
►
the apple logo on the front of it which
[TS]
00:08:13
◼
►
seems weird for Apple who's on their iOS
[TS]
00:08:15
◼
►
devices any not all about shoving the
[TS]
00:08:17
◼
►
apple logo in your face but here on the
[TS]
00:08:18
◼
►
imac berries do it and what was your
[TS]
00:08:20
◼
►
speculation as to why laughing seemed
[TS]
00:08:23
◼
►
like just to differentiate it from being
[TS]
00:08:25
◼
►
a monitor and just to make it more clear
[TS]
00:08:26
◼
►
that it's a computer right and the chin
[TS]
00:08:30
◼
►
has been de-emphasized a couple theories
[TS]
00:08:31
◼
►
about why the tuna there some people
[TS]
00:08:32
◼
►
said this stuff in the chin i said
[TS]
00:08:34
◼
►
they're like there's nothing in the chin
[TS]
00:08:35
◼
►
there is stuff in the chin you know like
[TS]
00:08:37
◼
►
the ram and the speakers and stuff like
[TS]
00:08:39
◼
►
that but I mean that stuff could all fit
[TS]
00:08:42
◼
►
behind monitor like maybe they couldn't
[TS]
00:08:44
◼
►
have a five millimeter edge on the
[TS]
00:08:45
◼
►
bottom if that was the case but it's not
[TS]
00:08:46
◼
►
like it's not like there's not room
[TS]
00:08:48
◼
►
giant monitor for all the pieces of the
[TS]
00:08:49
◼
►
imac but a couple of other theories from
[TS]
00:08:53
◼
►
this one from jack / on twitter and a
[TS]
00:08:55
◼
►
couple other people had similar feedback
[TS]
00:08:57
◼
►
is that there's stuff behind the apple
[TS]
00:08:59
◼
►
logo on the front of the thing he says
[TS]
00:09:02
◼
►
that the bluetooth antenna is there we
[TS]
00:09:04
◼
►
just got to have somewhere working radio
[TS]
00:09:06
◼
►
signal out and so if it's trapped inside
[TS]
00:09:07
◼
►
this metal case hmm if you can't get
[TS]
00:09:09
◼
►
through the screen you know cuz the
[TS]
00:09:10
◼
►
screen will be blocking the signal so we
[TS]
00:09:11
◼
►
can't get back out the back because
[TS]
00:09:12
◼
►
that's metal you need some sort of radio
[TS]
00:09:14
◼

else said that they thought the Wi-Fi
[TS]
00:09:19
◼

stuff was in there so using it as a
[TS]
00:09:21
◼

window for a wireless stuff I think
[TS]
00:09:25
◼

that's happened before on iOS devices it
[TS]
00:09:27
◼

was in the apple logo on one of the
[TS]
00:09:28
◼

iphones used for like or maybe was the
[TS]
00:09:31
◼

ipad i did they put wireless stuff in
[TS]
00:09:34

behind the apple logo I didn't I didn't

00:09:36
◼

I don't recall that but I bet you're
[TS]
00:09:37
◼

right and we well I yeah I don't
[TS]
00:09:41
◼

remember I know they had like that the
[TS]
00:09:43
◼

3g model always has the plastic stripe
[TS]
00:09:45
◼

on the ipad and that's like oh you know
[TS]
00:09:47
◼
►
the non 3g one doesn't have that then
[TS]
00:09:49
◼

the question okay on the non 3g one
[TS]
00:09:50
◼
►
where you don't have the big plastic
[TS]
00:09:51
◼
►
stripe on the top where does the Wi-Fi
[TS]
00:09:54
◼
►
come out of in the answer to that i
[TS]
00:09:55
◼

think was at some point in the past if
[TS]
00:09:57
◼
►
it's not currently true the plastic
[TS]
00:10:00
◼
►
apple logo so there you go so maybe
[TS]
00:10:02
◼
►
that's one of the reasons they keep that
[TS]
00:10:03
◼
►
stuff in there it's just kind of like
[TS]
00:10:04
◼
►
well we got a place for the stuff again
[TS]
00:10:05
◼
►
no reason they couldn't just get rid of
[TS]
00:10:07
◼
►
the chin and make a little stripe of
[TS]
00:10:08
◼
►
plastic on the bottom edge that you
[TS]
00:10:10
◼
►
wouldn't see that would take care of
[TS]
00:10:12
◼

that for them uh one more from Michael
[TS]
00:10:17
◼
►
stark we were talking about the thing
[TS]
00:10:20
◼
►
where the iPad Mini is supposed to
[TS]
00:10:21
◼
►
ignore your thumb when you're just
[TS]
00:10:23
◼
►
holding it and supposed to know like is
[TS]
00:10:25
◼
►
he trying to use his thumb to use the
[TS]
00:10:27
◼
►
device or just holding it there to
[TS]
00:10:28
◼
►
happen to go over the edge because the
[TS]
00:10:29
◼
►
border on the left and right side is
[TS]
00:10:32
◼
►
there a term for that that whole process
[TS]
00:10:33
◼
►
what the process of ignoring it yeah the
[TS]
00:10:36
◼
►
the is there like a term for that
[TS]
00:10:38
◼
►
phenomenon of you have your thumb on the
[TS]
00:10:42
◼
►
device and we are going to ignore it
[TS]
00:10:44
◼
►
well there's a bunch of events in Cocoa
[TS]
00:10:49
◼
►
this is not from this piece of feedback
[TS]
00:10:50
◼
►
from other stuff that didn't have time
[TS]
00:10:52
◼
►
to pull into the notes with attribution
[TS]
00:10:54
◼
►
that there's a the event system for you
[TS]
00:10:57
◼
►
I kid has like a bunch of callback
[TS]
00:11:00
◼
►
events for like you know
[TS]
00:11:01
◼
►
they are not thumb but I touches our
[TS]
00:11:03
◼
►
stationary or touches is resting i'm
[TS]
00:11:05
◼
►
getting these names wrong but there's a
[TS]
00:11:06
◼
►
bunch of events that are supposed to
[TS]
00:11:09
◼
►
signal that something is happening in a
[TS]
00:11:12
◼
►
way that doesn't necessarily indicate
[TS]
00:11:14
◼
►
input i don't remember the exact names
[TS]
00:11:17
◼
►
but all of them are they're not names
[TS]
00:11:19
◼
►
like thumb totally didn't mean it
[TS]
00:11:21
◼
►
there's no event like they're not
[TS]
00:11:24
◼
►
they're not ascribing a motivation to
[TS]
00:11:26
◼
►
the touch they're merely saying you know
[TS]
00:11:28
◼
►
this touch is stationary or this touch
[TS]
00:11:30
◼
►
has become stationary then you can
[TS]
00:11:32
◼
►
decide what policy you want to do based
[TS]
00:11:33
◼
►
on that I'm sure that's you know part of
[TS]
00:11:35
◼
►
the mechanism they're using but it's
[TS]
00:11:37
◼
►
it's part of the public event system but
[TS]
00:11:38
◼
►
I don't know if there's some larger name
[TS]
00:11:40
◼
►
for unintentional input but well you
[TS]
00:11:43
◼
►
brought up the thing on the laptop
[TS]
00:11:46
◼
►
trackpad so ignore accidental trackpad
[TS]
00:11:49
◼
►
input yeah that used to have a checkbox
[TS]
00:11:51
◼
►
like on and off and you know you'd
[TS]
00:11:53
◼
►
always want that to be off because you
[TS]
00:11:54
◼
►
put it on it would decide they were just
[TS]
00:11:56
◼
►
start ignoring you and say oh looks like
[TS]
00:11:58
◼
►
you're probably just typing on the
[TS]
00:11:59
◼
►
keyboard and your hand brushed up
[TS]
00:12:00
◼
►
against the trackpad I'm going to ignore
[TS]
00:12:01
◼
►
that you and in reality what you've done
[TS]
00:12:04
◼
►
is changed from typing to quickly move
[TS]
00:12:05
◼
►
something move the cursor with your
[TS]
00:12:07
◼
►
thumb and then would ignore it and it
[TS]
00:12:08
◼
►
was incredibly frustrating uh so Michael
[TS]
00:12:11
◼
►
Stark tweeted to say that Apple has
[TS]
00:12:14
◼
►
removed the GUI for that setting I
[TS]
00:12:16
◼
►
remember you were looking forward in the
[TS]
00:12:17
◼
►
show yeah you find it nope so there's a
[TS]
00:12:20
◼
►
tech note that i linked in the a lot of
[TS]
00:12:22
◼
►
techno did say i don't knowledgebase
[TS]
00:12:24
◼
►
article from apple's website that i
[TS]
00:12:27
◼
►
linked in the show notes and it says are
[TS]
00:12:29
◼
►
you trying to locate the ignore
[TS]
00:12:31
◼
►
accidental trackpad input trackpad
[TS]
00:12:33
◼
►
option yes we were trying to look at if
[TS]
00:12:35
◼
►
you're trying to locate it on your
[TS]
00:12:37
◼
►
macbook macbook pro or macbook air
[TS]
00:12:38
◼
►
computer with a multi-touch trackpad
[TS]
00:12:40
◼
►
that preference is no longer there and
[TS]
00:12:44
◼
►
that functionality to ignore excel
[TS]
00:12:46
◼
►
inputs is enabled automatically by
[TS]
00:12:48
◼
►
default for these devices i think the
[TS]
00:12:50
◼
►
reason that it no longer bothers us is
[TS]
00:12:52
◼
►
because the old track pads that had that
[TS]
00:12:55
◼
►
option were not multi-touch i don't know
[TS]
00:12:57
◼
►
how many touch they sense maybe they
[TS]
00:12:58
◼
►
only sent two or whatever but they
[TS]
00:12:59
◼
►
weren't like the current glass trackpad
[TS]
00:13:01
◼
►
switch to probably do five points 10
[TS]
00:13:03
◼
►
points i don't even know how many points
[TS]
00:13:04
◼
►
that multi-touch they do but there was
[TS]
00:13:05
◼
►
like a dividing line between the the
[TS]
00:13:07
◼
►
quote-unquote non multi-touch trackpad
[TS]
00:13:09
◼
►
even though i think they can handle more
[TS]
00:13:11
◼
►
than one touch and then the multi-touch
[TS]
00:13:12
◼
►
ones and it's much easier to figure out
[TS]
00:13:15
◼
►
what's intentional from unintentional if
[TS]
00:13:17
◼
►
you can sense all the sort of things
[TS]
00:13:19
◼
►
that are touching where you know versus
[TS]
00:13:21
◼
►
a trackpad that can only sense one or
[TS]
00:13:23
◼
►
two points of touching and it has to
[TS]
00:13:24
◼
►
decide which one of those is the real
[TS]
00:13:25
◼
►
one so if you accidentally brushed up
[TS]
00:13:28
◼
►
against a non multi-touch trackpad with
[TS]
00:13:29
◼
►
like five fingers the hardware is only
[TS]
00:13:32
◼
►
going to send like two of those to the
[TS]
00:13:33
◼
►
device and it's got to figure out what's
[TS]
00:13:35
◼
►
going on so it seems that once they went
[TS]
00:13:37
◼
►
to multi-touch now they have enough
[TS]
00:13:38
◼
►
information from all the touches and a
[TS]
00:13:41
◼
►
much more sensitive touch interface to
[TS]
00:13:43
◼
►
be able to turn that policy on by
[TS]
00:13:45
◼
►
default so they can better determine
[TS]
00:13:46
◼
►
what's accidental so that I guess
[TS]
00:13:48
◼
►
probably bodes well for the the iPad
[TS]
00:13:50
◼
►
minis implementation of this if we hit
[TS]
00:13:53
◼
►
both of us didn't even notice that this
[TS]
00:13:54
◼
►
is now on by default on on laptop track
[TS]

[TS]
00:18:12
◼
►
it in the show because I have lots of
[TS]
00:18:13
◼
►
other things to discuss unless there's
[TS]
00:18:14
◼
►
any specific thing that you need to know
[TS]
00:18:16
◼
►
I don't know if you listen to that

00:18:17
◼
►

[TS]
00:18:18
◼
►
specific that you're dying to know about
[TS]
00:18:21
◼
►
my take on the Lucas stuff there are
[TS]
00:18:24
◼
►
lots of things and I recommend this show
[TS]
00:18:27
◼
►
I recommend this episode of the show I'm
[TS]
00:18:30
◼
►
not done listening to it yet but
[TS]
00:18:31
◼
►
intentionally because I wanted to be
[TS]
00:18:33
◼
►
somewhat surprised for for you on your
[TS]
00:18:37
◼
►
responses and things on this show the
[TS]
00:18:39
◼
►
main question I think that folks have
[TS]
00:18:41
◼
►
you we have talked which which episode
[TS]
00:18:43
◼
►
did we discuss George Lucas and what he
[TS]
00:18:48
◼
►
has done to Star Wars let me see if do
[TS]
00:18:52
◼
►
you remember the episode number no I
[TS]
00:18:54
◼
►
never remember the episode numbers in
[TS]
00:18:56
◼
►
fact I was trying to find episode
[TS]
00:18:57
◼
►
numbers for like when we talked about
[TS]
00:18:58
◼
►
Windows 8 and I had difficulty even
[TS]
00:18:59
◼
►
finding madam I'm doing a bad job for
[TS]
00:19:01
◼
►
Star Wars is not a blog post that sounds
[TS]
00:19:06
◼
►
likely the People vs George Lucas yeah
[TS]
00:19:09
◼
►
that was probably is that the one okay
[TS]
00:19:11
◼
►
so this is episode number 45 of this
[TS]
00:19:13
◼
►
show let's see then there was another
[TS]
00:19:16
◼
►
one yeah that's it so I'll put that and
[TS]
00:19:20
◼
►
I'm pretty sure that's it i'll put that
[TS]
00:19:21
◼
►
in the show notes is first my first
[TS]
00:19:23
◼
►
question for you is is this a good thing
[TS]
00:19:26
◼
►
or a bad thing not because there's a
[TS]
00:19:29
◼
►
that's a loaded question first of all
[TS]
00:19:31
◼
►
you have George Lucas stepping back
[TS]
00:19:33
◼
►
stepping away and other people coming in
[TS]
00:19:36
◼
►
to do things with Star Wars first of all
[TS]
00:19:39
◼
►
second of all the announcement that
[TS]
00:19:41
◼
►
there will be new Star Wars movies
[TS]
00:19:44
◼
►
coming out every three or four days
[TS]
00:19:46
◼
►
there'll be a new Star Wars movie made
[TS]
00:19:48
◼
►
is that a good thing or a bad thing what
[TS]
00:19:51
◼
►
are your thoughts on this
[TS]
00:19:52
◼
►
as I said I mean comparable I think this
[TS]
00:19:56
◼
►
is a good thing completely a good thing
[TS]
00:19:59
◼
►
uh I always assumed that we'd have to
[TS]
00:20:02
◼
►
wait for George Lucas to die right
[TS]
00:20:04
◼
►
before well we all hoped that wouldn't
[TS]
00:20:07
◼
►
come to that but we answer that was that
[TS]
00:20:10
◼
►
was the assumption that he would have to
[TS]
00:20:11
◼
►
die before anyone would be able to start
[TS]
00:20:13
◼
►
fixing things because he was such a
[TS]
00:20:15
◼
►
control freak about it when you know
[TS]
00:20:17
◼
►
yadon but he was able he was able to
[TS]
00:20:19
◼
►
give it up and that's good and it's good
[TS]
00:20:21
◼
►
because it frees star wars from is his
[TS]
00:20:26
◼
►
control he had such strict control over
[TS]
00:20:28
◼
►
the the prequels and they were so
[TS]
00:20:29
◼
►
terrible being free of that control is
[TS]
00:20:32
◼
►
great because it gives other people more
[TS]
00:20:34
◼
►
talented people younger people hungry
[TS]
00:20:35
◼
►
people a crack at the franchise so I
[TS]
00:20:38
◼
►
think I think it's a good thing it gives
[TS]
00:20:42
◼
►
us a chance to possibly have the
[TS]
00:20:43
◼
►
unadulterated versions of the movies be
[TS]
00:20:48
◼
►
released all sorts of things that you
[TS]
00:20:49
◼
►
know all the dissatisfaction that star
[TS]
00:20:52
◼
►
wars fans have had with the franchise
[TS]
00:20:53
◼
►
all that potentially is cured by
[TS]
00:20:58
◼
►
bringing the franchise elsewhere so I
[TS]
00:21:01
◼
►
give I give it a thumbs up and I'm happy
[TS]
00:21:03
◼
►
and optimistic about what will happen it
[TS]
00:21:06
◼
►
could very well be that some terrible
[TS]
00:21:08
◼
►
things come out of that this terrible
[TS]
00:21:09
◼
►
television program is more terrible
[TS]
00:21:11
◼
►
movies but the fact that it's out of
[TS]
00:21:13
◼
►
control that one person means that lie
[TS]
00:21:15
◼
►
so it so you make some bad ones give
[TS]
00:21:17
◼
►
someone else a chance they can make some
[TS]
00:21:18
◼
►
good ones there's lots of things you can
[TS]
00:21:20
◼
►
do with the star wars franchise and now
[TS]
00:21:22
◼
►
that things like the movies which are
[TS]
00:21:24
◼
►
like okay well you can make you know
[TS]
00:21:26
◼
►
expanded universe novels and video games
[TS]
00:21:27
◼
►
and stuff like that but George Lucas is
[TS]
00:21:29
◼
►
the guy who says okay for the movies
[TS]
00:21:30
◼
►
like those were you know now now it's
[TS]
00:21:32
◼
►
not gated by one guy's whims like George
[TS]
00:21:34
◼
►
Lucas didn't feel like doing Star Wars
[TS]
00:21:36
◼
►
movie for a decade or two there was no
[TS]
00:21:37
◼
►
Star Wars movies for decades that snot
[TS]
00:21:39
◼
►
gonna happen anymore so I am optimistic
[TS]
00:21:41
◼
►
and I think it's a good thing I'm very
[TS]
00:21:44
◼
►
optimistic I think anything that gets
[TS]
00:21:46
◼
►
this away from George Lucas's personal
[TS]
00:21:48
◼
►
thoughts and opinions and feelings is it
[TS]
00:21:53
◼
►
is a good thing I think the further away
[TS]
00:21:56
◼
►
this is from George Lucas the better I'm
[TS]
00:21:58
◼
►
grateful that he had the idea for Star
[TS]
00:21:59
◼
►
Wars and then he was able to execute the
[TS]
00:22:04
◼
►
star wars empire star
[TS]
00:22:05
◼
►
back in to some degree that third one so
[TS]
00:22:10
◼
►
well and good let's get it away from him
[TS]
00:22:15
◼
►
and let's anything that I I can't
[TS]
00:22:17
◼
►
believe that they're going to do
[TS]
00:22:18
◼
►
anything that'll be worse than I think
[TS]
00:22:21
◼
►
what I think you can make things worse
[TS]
00:22:22
◼
►
as I said at the end of the maybe I'm
[TS]
00:22:25
◼
►
just more optimistic as I said at the
[TS]
00:22:26
◼
►
end of the uncomfortable I I can
[TS]
00:22:28
◼
►
definitely see movies being worse than
[TS]
00:22:30
◼
►
the prequels but nothing that they do
[TS]
00:22:31
◼
►
with the star wars franchise will feel
[TS]
00:22:33
◼
►
worse than the prequels felt because you
[TS]
00:22:36
◼
►
know it's not you know the and absolute
[TS]
00:22:37
◼
►
quality yeah you can make worst movies
[TS]
00:22:39
◼
►
and that no lots of ways but nothing
[TS]
00:22:41
◼
►
will feel that bad because we waited so
[TS]
00:22:42
◼
►
long and just it was inconceivable these
[TS]
00:22:46
◼
►
movies could be anything other than
[TS]
00:22:47
◼
►
awesome and they were terrible and it
[TS]
00:22:48
◼
►
was just the biggest letdown ever now
[TS]
00:22:50
◼
►
we're all we all bear those emotional
[TS]
00:22:54
◼
►
scars and have severed our relationship
[TS]
00:22:57
◼
►
with the franchise in some fashion in
[TS]
00:22:59
◼
►
order to move on with their lives and
[TS]
00:23:00
◼
►
now now we're free to enjoy the fruits
[TS]
00:23:02
◼
►
of other people's Labor's in this
[TS]
00:23:03
◼
►
universe without the expectations and
[TS]
00:23:06
◼
►
anticipation that accompanied the
[TS]
00:23:08
◼
►
prequels mm-hmm all right uh oh yeah it
[TS]
00:23:14
◼
►
wasn't the incomparable you won't hear
[TS]
00:23:15
◼
►
more about that I would have probably
[TS]
00:23:19
◼
►
didn't hit a dollar show to it if we had
[TS]
00:23:20
◼
►
not had that in copper but we did but so
[TS]
00:23:23
◼
►
do you feel people should just go and
[TS]
00:23:25
◼
►
listen that if they if they want in that
[TS]
00:23:26
◼
►
get leave Z room to stretch out this
[TS]
00:23:28
◼
►
episode that's right because I grab lots
[TS]
00:23:30
◼
►
of other things to discuss here so this
[TS]
00:23:33
◼
►
this next bit is follow-up but kind of
[TS]
00:23:36
◼
►
also the half topic for this show and
[TS]
00:23:39
◼
►
that is more about apples fusion drive
[TS]
00:23:43
◼
►
stuff we talked about last week mostly
[TS]
00:23:46
◼
►
just speculation because all we had to
[TS]
00:23:48
◼
►
go on was vague sort of slides in a
[TS]
00:23:50
◼
►
presentation and a couple of fact I
[TS]
00:23:52
◼
►
Tamannaah post uh but no nitty-gritty
[TS]
00:23:54
◼
►
technical details about the thing and
[TS]
00:23:57
◼
►
last week my guesses were that this was
[TS]
00:24:01
◼
►
implemented with course storage ah and I
[TS]
00:24:06
◼
►
mentioned on the show like Korra storage
[TS]
00:24:08
◼
►
has been around since the lion and you
[TS]
00:24:10
◼
►
could as of even lion just make two
[TS]
00:24:12
◼
►
disks and join them together into a
[TS]
00:24:14
◼
►
single volume and I mentioned I was
[TS]
00:24:15
◼
►
trying to do a demo like
[TS]
00:24:16
◼
►
for my lion review but it wasn't quite
[TS]
00:24:18
◼
►
working i was using disk images and it
[TS]
00:24:20
◼
►
was really buggy and stuff like that but
[TS]
00:24:21
◼
►
I that capability has been there in the
[TS]
00:24:23
◼
►
man page for you know disk your till
[TS]
00:24:25
◼
►
since 10-7 as I said you can do that
[TS]
00:24:28
◼
►
today you know just far as I presumably
[TS]
00:24:29
◼
►
it's less buggy now but I didn't
[TS]
00:24:32
◼
►
understand how that would how to square
[TS]
00:24:34
◼
►
that all with course start with uh with
[TS]
00:24:36
◼
►
fusion drive because fusion drive was
[TS]
00:24:39
◼
►
always described in terms of like oh and
[TS]
00:24:41
◼
►
these applications we use them alot will
[TS]
00:24:42
◼
►
end up on the SSD but this stuff you
[TS]
00:24:44
◼
►
know they talk about applications and
[TS]
00:24:45
◼
►
files but course storage works at the
[TS]
00:24:47
◼
►
block level it's not at the file level
[TS]
00:24:49
◼
►
so I didn't understand in Mike well
[TS]
00:24:50
◼
►
course towards just an umbrella term
[TS]
00:24:52
◼
►
they could have just implemented
[TS]
00:24:53
◼
►
something new that shuttles files back
[TS]
00:24:56
◼
►
and forth and works at the file level
[TS]
00:24:58
◼
►
and even though it's called core storage
[TS]
00:24:59
◼
►
it's not the same as the you know the
[TS]
00:25:01
◼
►
block based logical volume manager thing
[TS]
00:25:04
◼
►
that they use her foul ball to you know
[TS]
00:25:05
◼
►
we just didn't know because it wasn't
[TS]
00:25:06
◼
►
enough technical details released well
[TS]
00:25:09
◼
►
since last week someone named Patrick
[TS]
00:25:10
◼
►
Stein or jolly jinx on Twitter put up a
[TS]
00:25:14
◼
►
series of posts on his tumblr where he
[TS]
00:25:16
◼
►
did just want to describe last week
[TS]
00:25:17
◼
►
which is all right let me just take
[TS]
00:25:19
◼
►
course storage disk utility to disks
[TS]
00:25:21
◼
►
together into a single volume only what
[TS]
00:25:23
◼
►
he did was he took out my two discs
[TS]
00:25:25
◼
►
selling a drawing one is going to be an
[TS]
00:25:26
◼
►
SSD and one is it gonna be spinning disk
[TS]
00:25:28
◼
►
so I'm making my own fusion drive now
[TS]
00:25:30
◼
►
the underlying assumption for all these
[TS]
00:25:32
◼
►
posts is that what he's doing here with
[TS]
00:25:35
◼
►
disk utility core storage is what fusion
[TS]
00:25:37
◼
►
drive is uh and unless he has some
[TS]
00:25:41
◼
►
information that I don't or rather I
[TS]
00:25:44
◼
►
didn't really before during this week
[TS]
00:25:46
◼
►
he's just assuming they're like okay
[TS]
00:25:49
◼
►
well course storage is a fusion drives
[TS]
00:25:50
◼
►
gotta be done with course storage and
[TS]
00:25:52
◼
►
many that was my assumption as well and
[TS]
00:25:53
◼
►
basically more or less got that
[TS]
00:25:54
◼
►
confirmed from Apple but that doesn't
[TS]
00:25:56
◼
►
mean anything because like I said core
[TS]
00:25:58
◼
►
storage could be an umbrella term and so
[TS]
00:25:59
◼
►
and so forth and the reason I was so
[TS]
00:26:03
◼
►
skeptical of this being what Fusion
[TS]
00:26:06
◼
►
Drive is is because like I said
[TS]
00:26:07
◼
►
everything they described about fusion
[TS]
00:26:09
◼
►
drive was like oh it moves your files
[TS]
00:26:10
◼
►
for one place the other all your
[TS]
00:26:12
◼
►
applications or someplace else it never
[TS]
00:26:14
◼
►
talked about like you know blocked base
[TS]
00:26:16
◼
►
wear something you know just the disks
[TS]
00:26:18
◼
►
blocks that you read or on half on one
[TS]
00:26:19
◼
►
thing and half on the other like
[TS]
00:26:20
◼
►
block-based doesn't mean file system
[TS]
00:26:23
◼
►
blocks like 4k blocks and doesn't mean
[TS]
00:26:24
◼
►
disk blocks like you know sectors and
[TS]
00:26:26
◼
►
blocks it means the units of storage
[TS]
00:26:28
◼
►
that are managed by cora storages
[TS]
00:26:30
◼
►
logical volume manager and they have
[TS]
00:26:34
◼
►
nothing to do with file boundaries right
[TS]
00:26:36
◼
►
there just implementing it a block
[TS]
00:26:38
◼
►
storage device and the file system goes
[TS]
00:26:41
◼
►
on top of that but those the core
[TS]
00:26:43
◼
►
storage blocks it's shuffling around
[TS]
00:26:44
◼
►
have no idea what files they belong to
[TS]
00:26:46
◼
►
like you know they could span files and
[TS]
00:26:48
◼
►
stuff like that that's that they're
[TS]
00:26:50
◼
►
there just presenting a block device so
[TS]
00:26:51
◼
►
that didn't seem to square at all with
[TS]
00:26:55
◼
►
something that moves files and
[TS]
00:26:56
◼
►
applications around and it certainly
[TS]
00:26:59
◼
►
didn't square with the idea that as of
[TS]
00:27:00
◼
►
lying you could make a volume at of two
[TS]
00:27:03
◼
►
other things and put stuff on it but
[TS]
00:27:06
◼
►
Korra storage does the thing where I
[TS]
00:27:07
◼
►
move stuff from one to the other like it
[TS]
00:27:09
◼
►
reshuffle stuff based on usage in like
[TS]
00:27:10
◼
►
well surely course storage doesn't do
[TS]
00:27:13
◼
►
that like why would it be moving stuff
[TS]
00:27:14
◼
►
back and forth but the thing is as of
[TS]
00:27:17
◼
►
lime when I was playing with this it
[TS]
00:27:19
◼
►
there's a couple possibilities one is
[TS]
00:27:21
◼
►
that back then all core storage did was
[TS]
00:27:23
◼
►
you know join two physical disks
[TS]
00:27:25
◼
►
together into a single volume and put
[TS]
00:27:28
◼
►
some you know some data and one some
[TS]
00:27:30
◼
►
date on the other but it didn't like
[TS]
00:27:31
◼
►
move stuff around based on usage that's
[TS]
00:27:33
◼
►
one possibility the other possibility is
[TS]
00:27:35
◼
►
that it did move stuff based around
[TS]
00:27:36
◼
►
based on your usage and I just never
[TS]
00:27:38
◼
►
noticed because who would have think
[TS]
00:27:39
◼
►
thought to look for that because like a
[TS]
00:27:41
◼
►
logical volume manager like that wasn't
[TS]
00:27:42
◼
►
a selling point it wasn't in the man
[TS]
00:27:44
◼
►
page four different ill course storage
[TS]
00:27:46
◼
►
like maybe it was moving stuff and we
[TS]
00:27:48
◼
►
didn't even know right uh so in this
[TS]
00:27:52
◼
►
experiment that the Patrick did is he
[TS]
00:27:54
◼
►
did that he's got the little command
[TS]
00:27:56
◼
►
lines up here but if you do man disk you
[TS]
00:27:57
◼
►
till you can look at the core storage
[TS]
00:27:58
◼
►
section now disk utility s create you
[TS]
00:28:01
◼
►
know a logical volume group and he makes
[TS]
00:28:03
◼
►
it out of two disks an SSD in a spinning
[TS]
00:28:05
◼
►
disk and then he creates a volume on
[TS]
00:28:07
◼
►
that new you know he's now created what
[TS]
00:28:09
◼
►
looks like a single disk but has really
[TS]
00:28:11
◼
►
made up of two physicalist and he
[TS]
00:28:12
◼
►
creates a volume on and they just says
[TS]
00:28:14
◼
►
make a volume make a journaled hfs+ make
[TS]
00:28:17
◼
►
it 500 gigs and this is okay fine now
[TS]
00:28:20
◼
►
you've got a volume and underneath it
[TS]
00:28:22
◼
►
are two physical things now the next
[TS]
00:28:24
◼
►
things he did was he's trying to
[TS]
00:28:25
◼
►
determine okay is this what fusion disk
[TS]
00:28:27
◼
►
is so he's using DD and observation of
[TS]
00:28:31
◼
►
data transfer speeds to say okay I'm
[TS]
00:28:32
◼
►
going to write enough data where I know
[TS]
00:28:33
◼
►
this couldn't possibly all fit on the
[TS]
00:28:35
◼
►
SSD so he write some more you know more
[TS]
00:28:36
◼
►
than enough data and it's now it should
[TS]
00:28:38
◼
►
be spilling over into the hard drive and
[TS]
00:28:39
◼
►
he does a series of experiments with
[TS]
00:28:41
◼
►
reads and writes of files
[TS]
00:28:43
◼
►
and if he gets like you know 200
[TS]
00:28:46
◼
►
megabytes a second it reads he's like oh
[TS]
00:28:47
◼
►
that's coming from the SSD but if he
[TS]
00:28:48
◼
►
gets a lower read rate he's like oh
[TS]
00:28:50
◼
►
that's coming from the hard drive
[TS]
00:28:50
◼
►
because they really are vastly different
[TS]
00:28:52
◼
►
rates and he has tried to experimentally
[TS]
00:28:55
◼
►
prove to himself by eliminating things
[TS]
00:28:57
◼
►
like disk caching and stuff like that
[TS]
00:28:58
◼
►
but unmounting the drive to clear the
[TS]
00:29:00
◼
►
disk cache that something you know he's
[TS]
00:29:03
◼
►
determined okay these files are on the
[TS]
00:29:04
◼
►
SSD and these files are on on the
[TS]
00:29:06
◼
►
spinning disk and then he would see
[TS]
00:29:08
◼
►
after he stopped doing his activity the
[TS]
00:29:10
◼
►
disk activity would still be going on
[TS]
00:29:12
◼
►
behind the scenes because like Quora
[TS]
00:29:13
◼
►
storage and his estimation was moving
[TS]
00:29:15
◼
►
stuff and then he would do in a
[TS]
00:29:16
◼
►
subsequent tests and say oh now that's
[TS]
00:29:17
◼
►
not that I was accessing that was slow
[TS]
00:29:19
◼
►
before you know something behind the
[TS]
00:29:21
◼
►
scenes has put that onto the SSD
[TS]
00:29:23
◼
►
physical volume and now when I read from
[TS]
00:29:25
◼
►
those exact same things it's fast ah so
[TS]
00:29:28
◼
►
he's sort of experimentally determining
[TS]
00:29:30
◼
►
that plain old core storage that you
[TS]
00:29:33
◼
►
just make a logical volume out of two
[TS]
00:29:35
◼
►
physical volumes it's moving stuff
[TS]
00:29:37
◼
►
around based on your activity so that
[TS]
00:29:41
◼
►
that was an important point to saying
[TS]
00:29:43
◼
►
that this is what this is what fusion
[TS]
00:29:45
◼
►
drive is uh the next bit was like the
[TS]
00:29:48
◼
►
question of okay well you know is it
[TS]
00:29:50
◼
►
block based or file based because again
[TS]
00:29:52
◼
►
all the descriptions you know that the
[TS]
00:29:53
◼
►
marketing descriptions are like all
[TS]
00:29:55
◼
►
about files and applications but core
[TS]
00:29:57
◼
►
storage you know logical volume
[TS]
00:29:58
◼
►
management is working with you know
[TS]
00:30:00
◼
►
blocks that did don't have that aren't
[TS]
00:30:03
◼
►
the same thing they don't respect file
[TS]
00:30:04
◼
►
and they're independent of file
[TS]
00:30:05
◼
►
boundaries right because you're putting
[TS]
00:30:06
◼
►
a file system on top of this block
[TS]
00:30:08
◼
►
storage this virtual block storage
[TS]
00:30:09
◼
►
device right so then he was trying to
[TS]
00:30:12
◼
►
say okay I won't read or write entire
[TS]
00:30:14
◼
►
files I'll read and write just like the
[TS]
00:30:16
◼
►
first megabyte of a big file and he saw
[TS]
00:30:18
◼
►
the like just reading writing that first
[TS]
00:30:20
◼
►
megabyte would cause just that first
[TS]
00:30:21
◼
►
megabyte to go on to the SSD like you
[TS]
00:30:24
◼
►
know course towards remove them over
[TS]
00:30:25
◼
►
there so their support for the idea that
[TS]
00:30:27
◼
►
this arrangement of volumes and course
[TS]
00:30:29
◼
►
storage moves data and doesn't move
[TS]
00:30:31
◼
►
entire files it just moves blocks which
[TS]
00:30:33
◼
►
makes perfect sense in terms of the wake
[TS]
00:30:34
◼
►
or storage works and the final thing
[TS]
00:30:36
◼
►
they tribe was like okay can I make this
[TS]
00:30:38
◼
►
logical volume group out of to a logical
[TS]
00:30:42
◼
►
volume out of two physical volumes and
[TS]
00:30:44
◼
►
formatted as something other than H of S
[TS]
00:30:46
◼
►
Plus so he formatted a ZFS like he's got
[TS]
00:30:51
◼
►
this logic volume looks like just an
[TS]
00:30:52
◼
►
unusual eyes hard disk is really made up
[TS]
00:30:54
◼
►
of two hardest behind the scenes and he
[TS]
00:30:56
◼
►
you know dizzy pool
[TS]
00:30:57
◼
►
create blah blah and he's got ZFS on top
[TS]
00:30:59
◼
►
of it which again makes sense if it's
[TS]
00:31:02
◼
►
has nothing to do with files what it
[TS]
00:31:04
◼
►
shouldn't care what file system on top
[TS]
00:31:05
◼
►
it was just was just working with blocks
[TS]
00:31:07
◼
►
and again he did his tests and saw that
[TS]
00:31:10
◼
►
after he stopped messing with the file
[TS]
00:31:12
◼
►
system I owed activity continued he said
[TS]
00:31:15
◼
►
it always kept going for like 10 minutes
[TS]
00:31:16
◼
►
were copy stuff and he didn't know if 10
[TS]
00:31:18
◼
►
minutes was like a fixed limit I think
[TS]
00:31:19
◼
►
it's just because that's how long it
[TS]
00:31:21
◼
►
took to move the amount of data he had
[TS]
00:31:23
◼
►
fiddled with and then he did a read
[TS]
00:31:26
◼
►
after that and like all of a sudden the
[TS]
00:31:28
◼
►
data he'd been reading before is now
[TS]
00:31:29
◼
►
coming back much faster because him it's
[TS]
00:31:31
◼
►
been moved to the SSD so he's using this
[TS]
00:31:33
◼
►
as evidence that core storage is you
[TS]
00:31:38
◼
►
know works at the block level just like
[TS]
00:31:39
◼
►
full disk encryption uh and has nothing
[TS]
00:31:42
◼
►
to do with the file system its file
[TS]
00:31:43
◼
►
system diagnostic and that what he was
[TS]
00:31:47
◼
►
doing in his experiment here again he's
[TS]
00:31:49
◼
►
doing this not unlike a fancy new iMac
[TS]
00:31:51
◼
►
and not on one of the new mac man he's
[TS]
00:31:52
◼
►
just on a random mac that happens to be
[TS]
00:31:54
◼
►
running 10 8 2 i'm assuming right that
[TS]
00:31:56
◼
►
this is what core storage is and
[TS]
00:31:59
◼
►
everyone else who passed these stories
[TS]
00:32:01
◼

around assumed as well as I hey cor
[TS]
00:32:02
◼
►
storage on your Mac you can do coerced
[TS]
00:32:04
◼
►
or not core storage fusion drive on your
[TS]
00:32:05
◼
►
Mac you can do fusion drive on any Mac
[TS]
00:32:07
◼

you'll be fine you can put external
[TS]
00:32:09
◼

drives until you can do anything you
[TS]
00:32:10
◼

want the underlying assumption that this
[TS]
00:32:13
◼

is how fusion drive works well in late
[TS]
00:32:15
◼

breaking news which Mark who could not
[TS]
00:32:17
◼

possibly have had what do you think of
[TS]
00:32:19
◼

that Lee hutchinson of ours who's
[TS]
00:32:21
◼

written a couple of articles in fusion
[TS]
00:32:23
◼

drive and who has one of the new mac
[TS]
00:32:25
◼

minis with the fusion drive option
[TS]
00:32:27
◼
►
moments before the show began pulled out
[TS]
00:32:30
◼
►
his mac mini with Fusion Drive and ran a
[TS]
00:32:32
◼
►
couple of commands for me and got the
[TS]
00:32:35
◼

output of it so when he just runs disk
[TS]
00:32:37
◼
►
you to list what it shows is dev disk 0
[TS]
00:32:40
◼
►
disk 1 and just to disk 0 has a whole
[TS]
00:32:43
◼
►
bunch of different sections that's got
[TS]
00:32:44
◼
►
the g yd partitioner map efi and then
[TS]
00:32:47
◼
►
it's got apple core storage and apple
[TS]
00:32:49
◼
►
boot OS 10 disc 1 is 1 terabyte volume
[TS]
00:32:54
◼

it's got the g yd partition thing efi
[TS]
00:32:56
◼
►
core storage and the recovery hard drive
[TS]
00:32:59
◼
►
and dev disc 2 is the macintosh HD and
[TS]
00:33:03
◼

it is a 1 point 1 terabyte disk and that
[TS]
00:33:05
◼
►
one point 1 terabyte disk you can
[TS]
00:33:08
◼

surmise by knowing the amount of
[TS]
00:33:09
◼

physical storage that's installed
[TS]
00:33:11
◼
►
here there's only a one terabyte
[TS]
00:33:12
◼

spinning disk and a 128 gig SSD so how
[TS]
00:33:16
◼
►
could there ever be a volume that's 1.1
[TS]
00:33:18
◼
►
terabytes well that's your fusion drive
[TS]
00:33:19
◼

dev just two is the fusion drive made up
[TS]
00:33:21
◼
►
with loathing so you see you know it's
[TS]
00:33:23
◼
►
still got the recovery a hard disk
[TS]
00:33:25
◼
►
partition I'm assuming that's carved out
[TS]
00:33:27
◼

of the spinning disk and it's got the
[TS]
00:33:29
◼
►
little you know boot OS 10 partition
[TS]
00:33:32
◼
►
thing for going in recovery mode when he
[TS]
00:33:35
◼

does info on disk 0 which was the the
[TS]
00:33:39
◼
►
one that just has the Apple boot thing
[TS]
00:33:40
◼
►
it says no file system on it at all is
[TS]
00:33:43
◼
►
that it's an apple the device is the
[TS]
00:33:45
◼
►
Apple SSD it's got a new volume name and
[TS]
00:33:48
◼
►
no file system on it all when it doesn't
[TS]
00:33:51
◼
►
on disk one which was the one terabyte
[TS]
00:33:53
◼

spinning disk thing you know this is
[TS]
00:33:56
◼

apple HD blah blah blah no file system
[TS]
00:33:59
◼

on it at all not mounted when he runs it
[TS]
00:34:02
◼
►
on just to dev just to says though this
[TS]
00:34:05
◼
►
is Mac another HD it's jerald hfs+
[TS]
00:34:07
◼
►
volume and it's you know at one point
[TS]
00:34:09
◼
►
one terabytes in size this is the
[TS]
00:34:11
◼
►
logical volume that's been created out
[TS]
00:34:14
◼
►
of those two physical things so to
[TS]
00:34:15
◼
►
answer the question we had last week of
[TS]
00:34:17
◼
►
what would happen if you pulled out the
[TS]
00:34:19
◼
►
SSD or pulled out the other thing and we
[TS]
00:34:20
◼
►
just put one of the things in the output
[TS]
00:34:23
◼
►
of disk you till here on this actual
[TS]
00:34:24
◼
►
fusion drive Mack says those things
[TS]
00:34:26
◼
►
which show up is having no file system
[TS]
00:34:27
◼
►
whatsoever like you would say this disks
[TS]
00:34:29
◼
►
uninitialized do you want me I'm
[TS]
00:34:30
◼
►
assuming it would say that because it
[TS]
00:34:31
◼
►
doesn't even have a file system on it as
[TS]
00:34:32
◼
►
far as the computer is concerned it just
[TS]
00:34:35
◼
►
looks like you know random garbage only
[TS]
00:34:38
◼
►
Deb disc 2 which is the logical I'm
[TS]
00:34:41
◼
►
shows up as an actual volume with the
[TS]
00:34:43
◼
►
size that couldn't possibly exist on any
[TS]
00:34:45
◼
►
single disc with that's you know that's
[TS]
00:34:46
◼
►
what we thought so when he does discute
[TS]
00:34:47
◼
►
LCS lists and lists the output of the
[TS]
00:34:50
◼
►
core storage out but shows one logical
[TS]
00:34:52
◼
►
volume group with two physical volumes
[TS]
00:34:54
◼
►
got the you know the SSD on the physical
[TS]
00:34:56
◼
►
disk one logical volume family and out
[TS]
00:34:59
◼
►
of that has made one logical volume
[TS]
00:35:00
◼
►
called Macintosh HD that's you know that
[TS]
00:35:03
◼
►
ends up being disk too ah and this
[TS]
00:35:05
◼
►
exactly matches the output of the stuff
[TS]
00:35:09
◼
►
that Oh Patrick Stein was doing he is
[TS]
00:35:14
◼
►
his output of his logical volume groups
[TS]
00:35:17
◼
►
in the physical volume stuff like that
[TS]
00:35:18
◼
►
it looks like this so this is pretty
[TS]
00:35:20
◼
►
conclusive evidence that what Patrick
[TS]
00:35:21
◼
►
was doing is what fusion drive is and
[TS]
00:35:25
◼
►
you know unless I mean the only thing we
[TS]
00:35:27
◼
►
don't know is how did Apple create this
[TS]
00:35:30
◼
►
core storage volume is there some new
[TS]
00:35:31
◼
►
special flag that they added to say i'll
[TS]
00:35:34
◼
►
make this fusion drive thing it seems
[TS]
00:35:35
◼
►
like there probably isn't because
[TS]
00:35:36
◼
►
Patrick didn't use any special flag that
[TS]
00:35:38
◼
►
says you know join these two discs into
[TS]
00:35:40
◼
►
a single logical volume oh and by the
[TS]
00:35:42
◼
►
way do that thing where you watch how
[TS]
00:35:43
◼
►
much I use them in shuffle data around
[TS]
00:35:45
◼
►
like it seems like that happens no
[TS]
00:35:46
◼
►
matter what so this is some finally some
[TS]
00:35:51
◼
►
actual concrete technical information
[TS]
00:35:54
◼
►
about how this stuff works I would
[TS]
00:35:56
◼
►
discourage people from immediately
[TS]
00:35:59
◼
►
following it firing up the terminal and
[TS]
00:36:00
◼
►
running man to scoop tail and figure out
[TS]
00:36:02
◼
►
how to do this themselves unless you're
[TS]
00:36:03
◼
►
doing on like a scratch Mac with disks
[TS]
00:36:05
◼
►
you don't care about because it is very
[TS]
00:36:07
◼
►
easy to accidentally hose yourself when
[TS]
00:36:09
◼
►
using tools like this none of this is
[TS]
00:36:12
◼
►
being done by the GUI this is all
[TS]
00:36:13
◼
►
command line stuff you have to know you
[TS]
00:36:16
◼
►
know device numbers and it's very easy
[TS]
00:36:18
◼
►
to get confused about what Deb disk 0
[TS]
00:36:19
◼
►
and disk 1 are and stuff like that and
[TS]
00:36:21
◼
►
just end up hosing yourself so i would
[TS]
00:36:23
◼
►
not recommend that you run out and do
[TS]
00:36:24
◼
►
this the one question that i had for lee
[TS]
00:36:26
◼
►
that he wasn't able to check it before
[TS]
00:36:28
◼
►
the show was if you use these
[TS]
00:36:31
◼
►
command-line utility a Drake did and
[TS]
00:36:33
◼
►
make yourself your own fusion drive add
[TS]
00:36:36
◼
►
a couple of specialist two questions one
[TS]
00:36:39
◼
►
is can you make a few here I've out of
[TS]
00:36:41
◼
►
like seven discs and I see no reason why
[TS]
00:36:42
◼
►
you couldn't because the whole point of
[TS]
00:36:44
◼
►
course storage is you could just add
[TS]
00:36:45
◼
►
physical volumes on there it doesn't
[TS]
00:36:46
◼
►
just have to be to right and the second
[TS]
00:36:49
◼
►
question is say you make your own little
[TS]
00:36:50
◼
►
fusion drive can you boot from is there
[TS]
00:36:53
◼
►
anything special you have to do to boot
[TS]
00:36:55
◼
►
from it so say I had my mac pro here and
[TS]
00:36:57
◼
►
I took two hard drives to let's say to
[TS]
00:36:59
◼
►
external hard drives and I joined them
[TS]
00:37:01
◼
►
into a fusion drive and I installed OS
[TS]
00:37:03
◼
►
10 on it can I boot from basically boot
[TS]
00:37:06
◼
►
from to external hard drives and same
[TS]
00:37:08
◼
►
question for internal what if i use to
[TS]
00:37:09
◼
►
internal drives in a game though can i
[TS]
00:37:11
◼
►
boot from that obviously the mac mini
[TS]
00:37:13
◼
►
can boot from it but there may be some
[TS]
00:37:15
◼
►
weird procedure be like we're really
[TS]
00:37:16
◼
►
it's booting off like the recovery
[TS]
00:37:18
◼
►
partition and the curry partition is
[TS]
00:37:19
◼
►
looking at nvram or some other setting
[TS]
00:37:21
◼
►
and seeing okay well I'm really supposed
[TS]
00:37:23
◼
►
to boot from this other one and it
[TS]
00:37:24
◼
►
switches over like what is the bootstrap
[TS]
00:37:26
◼
►
procedure when all the attached disks
[TS]
00:37:28
◼
►
appear to have no file systems on them
[TS]
00:37:30
◼
►
like it's all it's all happening in
[TS]
00:37:32
◼
►
software so that's still an unanswered
[TS]
00:37:34
◼
►
question but I think that's the surprise
[TS]
00:37:36
◼
►
this week is that you know good old core
[TS]
00:37:38
◼
►
storage
[TS]
00:37:38
◼
►
they're all along or at least as of ten
[TS]
00:37:41
◼
►
82 is doing this magical file moving
[TS]
00:37:43
◼
►
stuff and nobody knew it and so you know
[TS]
00:37:46
◼
►
before those imacs were announced you
[TS]
00:37:48
◼
►
could have in theory made your own
[TS]
00:37:50
◼
►
fusion drive and got these interesting
[TS]
00:37:52
◼
►
performance characteristics out of it
[TS]
00:37:53
◼
►
before I believe in announce this may be
[TS]
00:37:55
◼
►
the first time that Apple is shipping
[TS]
00:37:57
◼
►
something as a headlining feature in a
[TS]
00:37:59
◼
►
keynote it was really on all of our
[TS]
00:38:01
◼
►
discs oh no while we're watching it
[TS]
00:38:03
◼
►
creepy huh yeah i'm i'm not about to go
[TS]
00:38:09
◼
►
and try to experiment this myself
[TS]
00:38:10
◼
►
because I do have four internal hard
[TS]
00:38:12
◼
►
drives and one external on this thing
[TS]
00:38:13
◼
►
and then a couple of spare mechanisms
[TS]
00:38:15
◼
►
hanging around as well with no ways to
[TS]
00:38:17
◼
►
put them ah but they're all filled with
[TS]
00:38:19
◼
►
stuff so I don't really have time to
[TS]
00:38:20
◼
►
play so I would still recommend for
[TS]
00:38:23
◼
►
everyone who doesn't have a spare
[TS]
00:38:25
◼
►
machine spare drives to mess around with
[TS]
00:38:26
◼
►
only use Fusion Drive in its supported
[TS]
00:38:29
◼
►
configuration on the machines that say
[TS]
00:38:30
◼
►
they supported in the ways that are
[TS]
00:38:32
◼
►
supported Haitian your nerd you want to
[TS]
00:38:34
◼
►
you want to play around then i would say
[TS]
00:38:36
◼
►
fire up the terminal and type man space
[TS]
00:38:37
◼
►
disk you till all onward and scroll
[TS]
00:38:41
◼
►
until you see the section about course
[TS]
00:38:42
◼

[TS]
00:40:23
◼
►
it that's all spot yeah I had some other
[TS]
00:40:25
◼
►
technical details Fusion Drive that was
[TS]
00:40:28
◼
►
in my head and now it it has departed me
[TS]
00:40:30
◼
►
oh yeah I guess there's despite all this
[TS]
00:40:33
◼
►
evidence a lot of it still seems
[TS]
00:40:34
◼
►
circumstantial to me in particular like
[TS]
00:40:38
◼
►
this this sort of trying to observe
[TS]
00:40:39
◼
►
course storage moving data from one
[TS]
00:40:42
◼
►
place to the other and experimentally
[TS]
00:40:44
◼
►
determining it by looking at the
[TS]
00:40:46
◼
►
transfer rates and the fact that
[TS]
00:40:48
◼
►
activity is going on with the mechanisms
[TS]
00:40:50
◼
►
even when you're not doing any like
[TS]
00:40:52
◼
►
that's ninety-nine point nine percent
[TS]
00:40:53
◼
►
sure but I would still really love a
[TS]
00:40:55
◼
►
real technical document or something
[TS]
00:40:57
◼
►
like straight from Apple's mouth like
[TS]
00:40:58
◼
►
this is how it works this is what
[TS]
00:41:00
◼
►
happens this is the underlying you know
[TS]
00:41:02
◼
►
implementation details of it instead of
[TS]
00:41:04
◼
►
having us to do all this guesswork stuff
[TS]
00:41:05
◼
►
I would still prefer that so but it
[TS]
00:41:08
◼
►
seems to me that all this is on the
[TS]
00:41:09
◼
►
right track and this is how it's done
[TS]
00:41:11
◼
►
and this much much less confusing now I
[TS]
00:41:13
◼
►
less confusing than their explanation
[TS]
00:41:15
◼
►
now now that it's like you know so its
[TS]
00:41:17
◼
►
core storage but you keep talking about
[TS]
00:41:19
◼
►
files and apps makes no sense now makes
[TS]
00:41:21
◼
►
so much more sense and and in hindsight
[TS]
00:41:23
◼
►
it makes sense that Apple said it is
[TS]
00:41:25
◼
►
Apple's not going to talk about managing
[TS]
00:41:27
◼
►
blocks of storage they're going to say
[TS]
00:41:29
◼
►
files and applications because that's
[TS]
00:41:30
◼
►
what people care about it they don't
[TS]
00:41:31
◼
►
really care that it could be that only
[TS]
00:41:33
◼
►
the first megabyte of that application
[TS]
00:41:34
◼
►
is on the SSD because only the first
[TS]
00:41:36
◼
►
megabyte of it is the thing that ever
[TS]
00:41:37
◼
►
gets rich or something like that yeah so
[TS]
00:41:39
◼
►
does it say in the chat room yes wdc you
[TS]
00:41:41
◼
►
next year presumably they'll talk about
[TS]
00:41:42
◼
►
this if only to brag because really it
[TS]
00:41:44
◼
►
probably has very few practical and blue
[TS]
00:41:46
◼
►
implications for people writing software
[TS]
00:41:49
◼
►
for OS 10 but they do tend to like you
[TS]
00:41:52
◼
►
know look at this cool thing that we did
[TS]
00:41:54
◼
►
everybody and they'll talk about it
[TS]
00:41:55
◼
►
there maybe there's like one or two new
[TS]
00:41:56
◼
►
API is about how to handle Fusion Drive
[TS]
00:41:58
◼
►
things and I use an excuse to have 17
[TS]
00:42:00
◼
►
slides about the implementation of
[TS]
00:42:02
◼
►
fusion drive
[TS]
00:42:03
◼
►
I will enjoy that at least least I hope
[TS]
00:42:05
◼
►
they do all right so my main topic for
[TS]
00:42:08
◼
►
today oh is 41 minutes in can you guess
[TS]
00:42:13
◼
►
George Lucas and the now we already did
[TS]
00:42:17
◼
►
that ipad mini I would have interrogated
[TS]
00:42:22
◼
►
you about drive that many if you had one
[TS]
00:42:23
◼
►
but you don't it's still on the vehicle
[TS]
00:42:26
◼
►
for delivery you failed me for the last
[TS]
00:42:28
◼
►
time I'm pollen job but no today I'm
[TS]
00:42:32
◼
►
gonna talk about the Apple executive
[TS]
00:42:35
◼
►
reshuffle forestall is out yes i have is
[TS]
00:42:41
◼
►
ian sure been the title of their press
[TS]
00:42:44
◼
►
release yes so the actual title of their
[TS]
00:42:46
◼
►
press release was apple announces
[TS]
00:42:49
◼
►
changes to increase collaboration across
[TS]
00:42:51
◼
►
hardware software and services and they
[TS]
00:42:54
◼
►
do this weird thing where there's an
[TS]
00:42:56
◼
►
ampersand between software and services
[TS]
00:42:57
◼
►
so i'm assuming software ampersand
[TS]
00:42:59
◼
►
services is a single thing that is a
[TS]
00:43:01
◼
►
unit yeah anyway uh just kind of
[TS]
00:43:06
◼
►
euphemistic business doublespeak because
[TS]
00:43:08
◼
►
you know whenever a company announces
[TS]
00:43:12
◼
►
something that happened to them that
[TS]
00:43:14
◼
►
they didn't really plan for or that's
[TS]
00:43:16
◼
►
like could be interpreted as bad news
[TS]
00:43:18
◼
►
they are not direct with the the
[TS]
00:43:21
◼
►
headline yeah I mean yeah like they took
[TS]
00:43:24
◼
►
it's not like they trying to hide it but
[TS]
00:43:25
◼
►
their spin doctoring it as you would say
[TS]
00:43:28
◼
►
yeah at least in the title like they're
[TS]
00:43:30
◼
►
not gonna say we've just fired a really
[TS]
00:43:32
◼
►
important executive who's done you know
[TS]
00:43:34
◼
►
like that that's that's the headline the
[TS]
00:43:35
◼
►
wheel get from like you said forestall
[TS]
00:43:37
◼
►
out that could have been the two word
[TS]
00:43:39
◼
►
title of this thing and in fact was the
[TS]
00:43:40
◼
►
the the URL of Gruber space with a
[TS]
00:43:43
◼
►
reference and a little bit for stall out

00:43:45
◼
►
like that is the headline piece of
[TS]
00:43:46
◼
►
amanda berry they bury the headline
[TS]
00:43:48
◼
►
under we're going to increase
[TS]
00:43:49
◼
►
collaboration and people are going to
[TS]
00:43:50
◼
►
take the responsibilities and by the way
[TS]
00:43:51
◼
►
we fired this dude right and this is a
[TS]
00:43:54
◼
►
buried that in there right so I think
[TS]
00:43:57
◼
►
was like in the first paragraph but but
[TS]
00:43:59
◼
►
it was like apple also announced like in
[TS]
00:44:02
◼
►
addition to what we just told you about

00:44:03
◼
►

late when he left he's done such great
[TS]
00:45:54

accord he's not being fired and there's
[TS]
00:46:01

a middle ground more like you're kind of
[TS]
00:46:03
◼

being forced out or encouraged to retire
[TS]
00:46:06
◼

whatever but this one reads like this is
[TS]
00:46:10
◼
►
what happened this is what a firing
[TS]
00:46:11
◼
►
looks like here when you're when you're
[TS]
00:46:13
◼
►
a multimillionaire Ryan you're a
[TS]
00:46:14
◼
►
multi-millionaire this is how you get
[TS]
00:46:15
◼

fired they never say you're fired like
[TS]
00:46:17
◼
►
cuz they just don't want to don't want
[TS]
00:46:19
◼
►
to hurt your feelings I'm and I think
[TS]
00:46:21
◼
►
that's not necessarily a bad thing it's
[TS]
00:46:22
◼
►
not like I'm saying he should say he was
[TS]
00:46:24
◼
►
fired just like they do for the peons I
[TS]
00:46:26
◼
►
think if anything the river should be
[TS]
00:46:28
◼
►
true that
[TS]
00:46:29
◼
►
peons should get the same kind of
[TS]
00:46:30
◼
►
respect and kind of like you know you
[TS]
00:46:33
◼
►
don't have to be so rude about it just
[TS]
00:46:35
◼

because they're an underling and are
[TS]
00:46:37
◼
►
multi-millionaires and aren't powerful
[TS]
00:46:38
◼
►
everyone should get this kind of
[TS]
00:46:39
◼
►
treatment that's I'm not I don't think
[TS]
00:46:41
◼
►
it's unfair that it's got forestalls
[TS]
00:46:43
◼
►
firing is spoken about euphemistically
[TS]
00:46:45
◼
►
think they should they should do this to
[TS]
00:46:47
◼
►
everybody unless of course you did
[TS]
00:46:48
◼
►
something horrible like set fire to the
[TS]

◼
►
that certainly not gonna say it in the
[TS]
00:49:23
◼
►
press release but all the stories have
[TS]
00:49:25
◼
►
been about that and we've all read the
[TS]
00:49:26
◼
►
stories maps you brought that up uh Siri
[TS]
00:49:29
◼
►
skeuomorphic design yeah uh and and but
[TS]
00:49:33
◼
►
the big one I see us at the undercurrent
[TS]
00:49:35
◼
►
of everything is like personality stuff
[TS]
00:49:38
◼
►
of like he was mean he didn't get along
[TS]
00:49:40
◼
►
with people he took credit for things
[TS]
00:49:43
◼
►
that you know that there weren't his
[TS]
00:49:45
◼
►
like all sorts of interpersonal stuff
[TS]
00:49:47
◼
►
about how you know like personality
[TS]
00:49:52
◼
►
issues not some like in other words the
[TS]
00:49:55
◼
►
ID since that Kurt runs underneath
[TS]
00:49:57
◼
►
everything it's like well yeah he had
[TS]
00:49:59
◼
►
problems with all these things and there
[TS]
00:50:01
◼
►
have been some issues with with products
[TS]
00:50:02
◼
►
but you know the real reason is cuz like
[TS]
00:50:04
◼
►
there was some sort of personality
[TS]
00:50:05
◼
►
conflict and people didn't like him or
[TS]
00:50:07
◼
►
whatever um and what I have to say about
[TS]
00:50:10
◼
►
all all that the entire idea is that
[TS]
00:50:12
◼
►
there's it's you can't talk about
[TS]
00:50:18
◼
►
Forrestal leaving Apple with any actual
[TS]
00:50:21
◼
►
knowledge or authority because basically
[TS]
00:50:27
◼
►
nobody actually knows what happened I
[TS]
00:50:29
◼
►
know all these stores in New York Times
[TS]
00:50:31
◼
►
and Wall Street Journal have like
[TS]
00:50:32
◼
►
sources close to or app people involved
[TS]
00:50:34
◼
►
there up employees and stuff like that
[TS]
00:50:35
◼
►
uh but i think it's and then like all
[TS]
00:50:41
◼
►
these articles will say we talked to
[TS]
00:50:42
◼
►
sources close to her and they said that
[TS]
00:50:43
◼
►
this person couldn't be in the same room
[TS]
00:50:45
◼
►
with that person and they had sort of
[TS]
00:50:46
◼
►
personality conflicts and blah blah and
[TS]
00:50:47
◼
►
then the rest of the article proceeds as
[TS]
00:50:49
◼
►
if the you know they make these
[TS]
00:50:51
◼
►
confident assertions well we have a
[TS]
00:50:53
◼
►
source or two sources and they say this
[TS]
00:50:54
◼
►
and therefore and then the whole rest
[TS]
00:50:56
◼
►
the article uses those assertions as
[TS]
00:50:57
◼
►
premises given this information that
[TS]
00:50:59
◼
►
we've already told you from these
[TS]
00:51:01
◼
►
sources which you will now serve as a
[TS]
00:51:02
◼
►
hundred percent true now let's discuss
[TS]
00:51:04
◼
►
what that means right and I don't think
[TS]
00:51:06
◼
►
that's a useful way to reason about this
[TS]
00:51:10
◼
►
because I don't think you could have any
[TS]
00:51:12
◼
►
confidence in in the assertions of your
[TS]
00:51:15
◼
►
sources about why he was fired as well
[TS]
00:51:19
◼
►
Shipley was saying on Twitter the other
[TS]
00:51:21
◼
►
day uh he he was fired from you know
[TS]
00:51:24
◼
►
forced out of or whatever because he was
[TS]
00:51:25
◼
►
he was at that level where you don't
[TS]
00:51:26
◼
►
stay fired but he himself said fire from
[TS]
00:51:29
◼
►
Omni group the famous next and then Mac
[TS]
00:51:32
◼
►
os10 software group that he co-founded
[TS]
00:51:35
◼
►
uh and he said I don't know why I was
[TS]
00:51:39
◼
►
fired found a group all he knows is his
[TS]
00:51:41
◼
►
side of the story even if you were to
[TS]
00:51:42
◼
►
ask scott forstall why do you think you
[TS]
00:51:43
◼
►
were fired you're still not gonna get
[TS]
00:51:45
◼
►
the whole story there because no single
[TS]
00:51:47
◼
►
person probably it's certainly no single
[TS]
00:51:48
◼
►
person who's not like tim cook or scott
[TS]
00:51:51
◼
►
first well maybe you got both of them
[TS]
00:51:52
◼
►
combined you could figure it out uh but
[TS]
00:51:55
◼
►
like as they say history is written by
[TS]
00:51:57
◼
►
the winners and that's definitely true
[TS]
00:51:59
◼
►
when it comes to corporate press
[TS]
00:52:00
◼
►
releases and corporate politics uh you
[TS]
00:52:04
◼
►
know it when you see stories leaked
[TS]
00:52:06
◼
►
intentionally leaked or not about oh he
[TS]
00:52:09
◼
►
had personality conflicts or whatever
[TS]
00:52:10
◼
►
those are the people who want and it's
[TS]
00:52:12
◼
►
got Forrestal to be gone and they're
[TS]
00:52:13
◼
►
gonna sell their side of the story is
[TS]
00:52:15
◼
►
not necessarily the objective truth of
[TS]
00:52:17
◼
►
course they're gonna say bad things
[TS]
00:52:20
◼
►
about him because they wanted him to go
[TS]
00:52:21
◼
►
but who's to say they're right in that
[TS]
00:52:23
◼
►
conflict we don't have any visibility
[TS]
00:52:24
◼
►
into the internal stupid personal
[TS]
00:52:27
◼
►
political situation inside Apple and you
[TS]
00:52:29
◼
►
just can't go by the things you hear
[TS]
00:52:32
◼
►
from people inside Apple because most
[TS]
00:52:34
◼
►
likely you are hearing from the people
[TS]
00:52:35
◼
►
who wanted him to go he doesn't get a
[TS]
00:52:38
◼
►
fair shot in that he he doesn't have any
[TS]
00:52:40
◼

say in the corporate communication about
[TS]
00:52:41
◼

going to be in all these stories so I
[TS]
00:52:44
◼

think it's completely unfair to Scott
[TS]
00:52:46
◼

Forstall to assume that all those
[TS]
00:52:49
◼

stories about his personality are are
[TS]
00:52:51
◼

true and in any way really like because
[TS]
00:52:54
◼

it's just it's a complete and balanced
[TS]
00:52:57
◼

and a complete communication failure and
[TS]
00:52:59
◼

again i would say who got forced forced

all in person to be on this show and

[TS]
00:53:05
◼

middle there right so I'm not interested
[TS]
00:53:09
◼

thinking about or dwelling on why it is
[TS]
00:53:12
◼
►
that he was forced out of the company
[TS]
00:53:13
◼
►
but I think there are lots of things we
[TS]
00:53:16
◼

can talk about about this change without
[TS]
00:53:18
◼
►
really caring why it happened
[TS]
00:53:20
◼

necessarily I mean we can look at you

contributed to basically I'm resigned to

never knowing and really don't care that

made it go from some sort of internal

problem to the solutions this problem is

the Tim Cook era of Apple such as it did

00:54:35
◼
►
so far so when Tim Cook took over a CEO
[TS]
00:54:39
◼
►
is Apple and this was before Steve Jobs
[TS]
00:54:42
◼
►
died because he he sort of handed over
[TS]
00:54:43
◼
►
the reins as he left the company Apple
[TS]
00:54:47
◼
►
was on a hell of a winning streak at

[TS]
00:56:49
◼

the other tech companies which are

[TS]
00:57:22
◼
►
cook did not do that right what he did
[TS]
00:57:25
◼
►
was inherited the exact same team that
[TS]
00:57:27
◼
►
he had been on that he had been a member
[TS]
00:57:29
◼
►
of all those members of the top level
[TS]
00:57:31
◼
►
executive staff were still there except
[TS]
00:57:34
◼
►
they took the guy in the middle of that
[TS]
00:57:36
◼
►
diagram the guy I'm unquestionably in
[TS]
00:57:38
◼
►
charge of everybody and removed him and
[TS]
00:57:40
◼
►
team dynamics changed when the team
[TS]
00:57:42
◼
►
members change and especially if the
[TS]
00:57:44
◼
►
change is we took out the guy who was in
[TS]
00:57:45
◼
►
the center of this diagram and who was
[TS]
00:57:47
◼
►
in charge now the team dynamics are
[TS]
00:57:49
◼
►
definitely going to change but the team
[TS]
00:57:50
◼
►
dynamics machines but he kept the same
[TS]
00:57:52
◼
►
team because that was part of his thing
[TS]
00:57:54
◼
►
is like he decided you know I'm not
[TS]
00:57:56
◼
►
gonna rock the boat I'm gonna come in
[TS]
00:57:57
◼
►
and I'm not going to just change
[TS]
00:57:59
◼
►
everything I'm just gonna go with what I
[TS]
00:58:00
◼
►
have but he didn't he couldn't possibly
[TS]
00:58:02
◼
►
continue what they were doing because
[TS]
00:58:03
◼
►
such a big chart of it had changed it
[TS]
00:58:06
◼
►
seemed that some kind of reshuffling was
[TS]
00:58:08
◼
►
inevitable and he didn't do it like
[TS]
00:58:10
◼
►
other than you know Ron Johnson leaving
[TS]
00:58:12
◼
►
to go to jcpenney and being replaced and
[TS]
00:58:14
◼
►
I remember that happened before after he
[TS]
00:58:15
◼
►
came but like that's not his doing like
[TS]
00:58:17
◼
►
that Ron Johnson decided to leave and so
[TS]
00:58:19
◼
►
we had to replace him and stuff like
[TS]
00:58:20
◼
►
that so he did eventually have to make
[TS]
00:58:22
◼
►
decisions like that uh just like you
[TS]
00:58:28
◼
►
know being forced to to sort of taking
[TS]
00:58:30
◼
►
Crowes like okay Tim you can't just
[TS]
00:58:32
◼
►
coast on the projects that were in the
[TS]
00:58:34
◼
►
pipeline jobs there keep the exact same
[TS]
00:58:36
◼
►
executive team the exact same project
[TS]
00:58:37
◼
►
just go at some point you're gonna have
[TS]
00:58:38
◼
►
to start doing stuff uh and that's how
[TS]
00:58:41
◼
►
you know and we couldn't judged him cook
[TS]
00:58:43
◼
►
by what he did when he came in and
[TS]
00:58:45
◼
►
cleaned house because he didn't uh so
[TS]
00:58:47
◼
►
one of the first things that he did was
[TS]
00:58:48
◼
►
I think this was him I gotta look at
[TS]
00:58:50
◼
►
there's a January 31st 2012 I believe I
[TS]
00:58:55
◼
►
guess that was the others after Jobs was
[TS]
00:58:57
◼
►
gone right because he died in October
[TS]
00:58:59
◼
►
2011 right right yeah so one of cooks
[TS]
00:59:03
◼
►
first major decisions was I got to find
[TS]
00:59:05
◼
►
that guy to replace Ron Johnson and he
[TS]
00:59:07
◼
►
picked John Browett who ran Dixon's
[TS]
00:59:10
◼
►
which was apparently a UK chain I have
[TS]
00:59:13
◼
►
link in the show notes to this article
[TS]
00:59:15
◼
►
on our stock to go does dixons retail
[TS]
00:59:17
◼
►
CEO John brow decide to take over
[TS]
00:59:19
◼
►
rappers former retail chief blah blah
[TS]
00:59:21
◼
►
and that wasn't that higher was not
[TS]
00:59:27
◼
►
looked upon particularly finally like
[TS]
00:59:29
◼
►
right off the bat because it was like
[TS]
00:59:32
◼
►
this is nearest act ago story says he
[TS]
00:59:35
◼
►
may be a poor choice to succeed apples
[TS]
00:59:37
◼
►
former senior vice president ron johnson
[TS]
00:59:38
◼
►
if customer service clean stores and
[TS]
00:59:40
◼
►
great products are still priorities of
[TS]
00:59:41
◼
►
the companies and it's because Dixon's
[TS]
00:59:43
◼
►
the chain that he had previously you
[TS]
00:59:46
◼
►
know the food previous being charged up
[TS]
00:59:47
◼
►
does not have a good reputation
[TS]
00:59:49
◼
►
apparently in the UK and people who knew
[TS]
00:59:52
◼
►
Dixon's and new brauch said this is like
[TS]
00:59:55
◼
►
the opposite of what I think of when I
[TS]
00:59:57
◼
►
think of the apple store and this is the
[TS]
00:59:58
◼
►
guy you hired to be in charge with the
[TS]
01:00:00
◼
►
store now when these stories were coming
[TS]
01:00:02
◼
►
out uh I didn't lend much credence to
[TS]
01:00:05
◼
►
them again because lots of people like
[TS]
01:00:08
◼
►
just look at all the people who are
[TS]
01:00:09
◼
►
currently on the executive staff and
[TS]
01:00:10
◼
►
Apple the people who have done great
[TS]
01:00:11
◼
►
jobs they may have been associated with
[TS]
01:00:13
◼
►
crappy company or easier and in charge
[TS]
01:00:15
◼
►
of crappy companies in the past but I
[TS]
01:00:16
◼
►
was like well Apple gives you a chance
[TS]
01:00:17
◼
►
to do things differently like the rules
[TS]
01:00:19
◼
►
are different an apple you have more
[TS]
01:00:20
◼
►
freedom you actually have a good product
[TS]
01:00:22
◼
►
it's not like a bargain-basement a thin
[TS]
01:00:27
◼
►
margin retail business like things can
[TS]
01:00:29
◼
►
be different you know I don't remember
[TS]
01:00:30
◼
►
who ron jons come from compact or
[TS]
01:00:32
◼
►
something like whatever Ron Johnson did
[TS]
01:00:33
◼
►
before the apple store probably did not
[TS]
01:00:36
◼
►
succeed to level the apple store is so
[TS]
01:00:37
◼
►
if you saw Ron Johnson he's not going to
[TS]
01:00:39
◼
►
help you look what he's done in the past
[TS]
01:00:40
◼
►
just been all bunch of crappy retail
[TS]
01:00:41
◼
►
stores he's never gonna you know things
[TS]
01:00:43
◼
►
are different inside apples was it all
[TS]
01:00:45
◼
►
right I'm given this John Brown guide
[TS]
01:00:47
◼
►
chance let's just because his previous
[TS]
01:00:49
◼
►
chain of stores was the anti apple store
[TS]
01:00:51
◼
►
uh maybe the reason he wants to bail
[TS]
01:00:54
◼
►
he's like I'm tired of this dog-eat-dog
[TS]
01:00:55
◼
►
world and I want to do something better
[TS]
01:00:57
◼
►
but his start was not auspicious in
[TS]
01:01:00
◼
►
August so he's you know hired in January
[TS]
01:01:02
◼
►
in August they had this big blowup where
[TS]
01:01:05
◼
►
one of the first policies that he
[TS]
01:01:08
◼
►
implemented was to lower the staffing
[TS]
01:01:11
◼
►
levels to try to reduce the overhead of
[TS]
01:01:12
◼
►
the store because like all you got all
[TS]
01:01:14
◼
►
these employees and if we can reduce
[TS]
01:01:17
◼
►

01:01:24
◼

success at target but I would still say
[TS]
01:01:25

01:01:27
◼

apple store she's gonna do retail apples

01:01:30
◼

retail so I was gonna be like target

[TS]
01:01:32
◼

environment Apple so when Brout came and
[TS]
01:01:37
◼

[TS]
01:01:40
◼

[TS]
01:01:42
◼

profit from these stores that we just

headcount and that decision was not

popular among employees wearing anyone
[TS]
01:01:51
◼
►
among anybody media you me anyone yet
[TS]
01:01:55
◼

because the employees were like you're

01:01:57
◼
►
cutting my hours or you're laying me off
[TS]
01:01:58
◼

every time I go into the apple store
[TS]
01:02:02
◼

it's hard enough for me to find someone
[TS]
01:02:04

to help me and now you're gonna reduce
[TS]
01:02:06
◼

that thing I think this was well you
[TS]
01:02:09
◼
►
know it's like August is not right
[TS]
01:02:10
◼

before the holiday season but it's kind
[TS]
01:02:12
◼
►
of right before the holiday season
[TS]
01:02:13
◼
►
and these changes supposedly because he
[TS]
01:02:16
◼
►
he also implemented a twenty-five
[TS]
01:02:17
◼
►
percent pay raise and to support the pay
[TS]
01:02:20
◼
►
raise you know perry's i'm sure the
[TS]
01:02:21
◼

Apple employees loved you know we all
[TS]
01:02:23
◼
►
you know pipe pillows guys there that's
[TS]
01:02:24
◼

[TS]
01:02:27
◼
►
raise I have to lay off a bunch of you
[TS]
01:02:28
◼

right and this was not popular and
[TS]
01:02:31
◼
►
people were angry about it an apple
[TS]
01:02:33
◼
►
reversed it so this story from August
[TS]
01:02:36
◼
►
sixteenth is new apple retail chief
[TS]
01:02:37
◼
►
makes quote mistake and firing staff
[TS]
01:02:39
◼
►
comma hires them back right and Apple is
[TS]
01:02:42
◼
►
reversing changes to the formerly used
[TS]
01:02:43
◼
►
to calculate staffing levels in its
[TS]
01:02:45
◼
►
retail stores an experiment using the
[TS]
01:02:46
◼
►
new formula it apparently led to wide
[TS]
01:02:48
◼
►
ranging layoffs and cuts and assign
[TS]
01:02:49
◼
►
hours however Apple's new retail chief
[TS]
01:02:52
◼
►
John brow to the company quote messed up
[TS]
01:02:54
◼
►
implementing the changes in the first
[TS]
01:02:55
◼
►
place right so here is your new hire
[TS]
01:02:57
◼
►
whose first major visible initiative is
[TS]
01:03:00
◼
►
wildly unpopular and immediately reverse
[TS]
01:03:04
◼
►
and then you then it's like I imagined
[TS]
01:03:06
◼
►
him having to go like someone chastising
[TS]
01:03:09
◼
►
him and now he has to make like a public
[TS]
01:03:11
◼
►
apology of saying that thing I totally
[TS]
01:03:12
◼
►
wanted to do that was a mistake and so
[TS]
01:03:14
◼
►
here's apple spokesperson Kristen huget
[TS]
01:03:17
◼
►
saying making these changes was a
[TS]
01:03:18
◼
►
mistake and the changes are being
[TS]
01:03:19
◼
►
reversed our employees are our most
[TS]
01:03:21
◼
►
important asset and blah blah blah you
[TS]
01:03:23
◼
►
know when a spokesperson has got to come
[TS]
01:03:25
◼
►
out and say that thing that we just
[TS]
01:03:26
◼
►
hired that he did were totally reversing
[TS]
01:03:28
◼
►
and we're just immediately publicly
[TS]
01:03:30
◼
►
admitting this is a mistake even it's
[TS]
01:03:31
◼
►
not like you know they people dog piled
[TS]
01:03:33
◼
►
an apple and force them to admit it was
[TS]
01:03:35
◼
►
a mistake they caught this one pretty
[TS]
01:03:37
◼
►
quickly so it's almost like John browz
[TS]
01:03:39
◼
►
off in his corner office doing his stuff
[TS]
01:03:41
◼
►
and Tim Cook it's windows and he says he
[TS]
01:03:42
◼
►
did what you know and the other
[TS]
01:03:44
◼
►
possibility is that Tim Cook was
[TS]
01:03:46
◼
►
pressuring John brow to say why don't
[TS]
01:03:48
◼
►
these store is more profitable you need
[TS]
01:03:50
◼
►
to make them more profitable and then
[TS]
01:03:52
◼
►
you know he was just acting doing what
[TS]
01:03:55
◼
►
he thought Tim Cook wanted to do and
[TS]
01:03:56
◼
►
then it ended up being a PR situation
[TS]
01:03:58
◼
►
again we don't know what's going on
[TS]
01:03:59
◼
►
inside the company but bottom line is
[TS]
01:04:00
◼
►
questionable higher we were all
[TS]
01:04:04
◼
►
suspicious about his first major move
[TS]
01:04:06
◼
►
immediately reversed these are not good
[TS]
01:04:10
◼
►
things and and this is like Tim Cook's
[TS]
01:04:12
◼
►
first major move at the corporate level
[TS]
01:04:15
◼
►
in terms of the executives so not like
[TS]
01:04:16
◼
►
I'm not looking good for Tim Cook's
[TS]
01:04:18
◼
►
track record so far this is a comment on
[TS]
01:04:21
◼
►
one of those stories from the cosh th
[TS]
01:04:24
◼
►
EKG on arstechnica promoted come
[TS]
01:04:26
◼
►
says as a former apple store specialist
[TS]
01:04:29
◼
►
I can't even imagine a word coming down
[TS]
01:04:30
◼
►
that they were going to cut the number
[TS]
01:04:31
◼
►
of people working our biggest complaints
[TS]
01:04:33
◼
►
were always long lines of I waited 20
[TS]
01:04:35
◼
►
minutes for someone to help me and
[TS]
01:04:36
◼
►
decided to leave like that's the
[TS]
01:04:37
◼
►
complaints that they get from people on
[TS]
01:04:38
◼
►
the apple store it's not that you know
[TS]
01:04:39
◼
►
you weren't helpful or your stores were
[TS]
01:04:42
◼
►
ugly and dirty or I couldn't find
[TS]
01:04:44
◼
►
anything it's that I couldn't get helped
[TS]
01:04:45
◼
►
so again cutting employees doesn't seem
[TS]
01:04:47
◼
►
like a good idea lots of I've seen lots
[TS]
01:04:51
◼
►
of stories and both sides this both that
[TS]
01:04:53
◼
►
John Brown did this on his own it was
[TS]
01:04:57
◼
►
reversed and also that this is something
[TS]
01:04:59
◼
►
that institutional bean counter Tim Cook
[TS]
01:05:02
◼
►
always wanted to do and Steve Jobs was
[TS]
01:05:04
◼
►
the one stopping him from applying his
[TS]
01:05:07
◼
►
bean-counting tendencies the stores say
[TS]
01:05:09
◼
►
no we can't you know don't treat it as
[TS]
01:05:11
◼
►
like a profit Center even though they
[TS]
01:05:13
◼
►
make tons of money don't try to squeeze
[TS]
01:05:14
◼
►
every ounce out of it it's not it's more
[TS]
01:05:16
◼
►
important for us to preserve the image
[TS]
01:05:18
◼
►
of our brand that it is to get every red
[TS]
01:05:19
◼
►
cent out of these stores so I don't know
[TS]
01:05:21
◼
►
what's going on internally but clearly
[TS]
01:05:22
◼
►
it was some sort of conflict and it
[TS]
01:05:23
◼
►
didn't work out uh there are more
[TS]
01:05:26
◼
►
stories about this even after the

profit machine so even though they
[TS]
01:05:39
◼
►
reversed all the things you know this

[TS]
01:06:12
◼
►
worst fears turned out to be true

and he had to immediately reverse so
[TS]
01:06:26
◼
►
he's gone now Mansfield here's another
[TS]
01:06:30
◼

thing that happened surrounding Tim

see this with other corporations have
[TS]
01:07:06
◼

you done a cross-check have you done in
[TS]
01:07:07
◼
►
comparison with other companies to see
[TS]
01:07:09
◼
►
if they have this kind of shuffling as
[TS]
01:07:11
◼
►
much I mean usually with another company
[TS]
01:07:13
◼
►
like somebody leaves they're gone they
[TS]
01:07:14
◼
►
don't they don't get to come back well
[TS]
01:07:16
◼

[TS]
01:07:17
◼

I bet this happens all the time in
[TS]
01:07:19
◼
►
companies is just that every company
[TS]
01:07:20
◼
►
isn't watched like uh like Apple is I
[TS]
01:07:24
◼
►
mean maybe at the very highest level to
[TS]
01:07:25
◼
►
think of the very highest levels of
[TS]
01:07:27
◼
►
companies like I don't know like
[TS]
01:07:28
◼
►
Microsoft or IBM or whatever companies
[TS]
01:07:31
◼
►
that are similarly watch or Google hey
[TS]
01:07:34
◼

the traditional thing is like once you
[TS]
01:07:37
◼
►
get to a certain level in a corporation
[TS]
01:07:38
◼
►
you're nothing matters anymore like
[TS]
01:07:41
◼
►
almost nothing matters it your
[TS]
01:07:44
◼
►
performance your personality is pretty
[TS]
01:07:46
◼
►
much nothing you can do to ever get
[TS]
01:07:47
◼
►
fired because you're the one who
[TS]
01:07:49
◼
►
determines hiring and firing and to get
[TS]
01:07:50
◼
►
them at level in the corporation you
[TS]
01:07:51
◼
►
must have learned how to do internal
[TS]
01:07:53
◼
►
corporate politics to the point where
[TS]
01:07:54
◼
►
you have your own coalition of
[TS]
01:07:56
◼
►
supporters and your own little fiefdom
[TS]
01:07:57
◼
►
that you built for yourself and like
[TS]
01:07:59
◼
►
that's that's all the corporate malaise
[TS]
01:08:01
◼
►
that happens and that's why you don't
[TS]
01:08:03
◼
►
see stories like this but in good
[TS]
01:08:05
◼
►
companies that are more competitive at
[TS]
01:08:07
◼
►
the top levels occasionally you do see
[TS]
01:08:08
◼
►
defections like Marissa Meyer or mayor
[TS]
01:08:09
◼
►
or the stuff we see at Apple ah but a
[TS]
01:08:13
◼
►
retirement is usually like well you know
[TS]
01:08:16
◼
►
I never thought I'd be rich now I am and
[TS]
01:08:19
◼
►
I've been working really hard for a lot
[TS]
01:08:21
◼
►
of years and I want to go out and
[TS]
01:08:22
◼
►
another example at I get to a little bit
[TS]
01:08:23
◼
►
later is aa bhi toh maine Ian who came
[TS]
01:08:25
◼
►
from next and was in charge of their
[TS]
01:08:27
◼
►
software and stuff and he retired and he
[TS]
01:08:29
◼
►
just you know the same thing as it
[TS]
01:08:30
◼
►
looked exactly like Mansfield I work
[TS]
01:08:32
◼
►
really hard for a lot of years I've been
[TS]
01:08:34
◼
►
rewarded for that work because Apple has
[TS]
01:08:36
◼
►
been very successful now a
[TS]
01:08:37
◼
►
multimillionaire now I want to do
[TS]
01:08:39
◼
►
something else that's totally what
[TS]
01:08:40
◼
►
Mansfield look like but when he comes
[TS]
01:08:41
◼
►
back and August what that really means
[TS]
01:08:43
◼
►
is that it wasn't like a V where he
[TS]
01:08:45
◼
►
would legitimately wanted to do other
[TS]
01:08:46
◼
►
things he had some other reasons for
[TS]
01:08:48
◼
►
leaving and was able to be lured back
[TS]
01:08:51
◼
►
right right and you know at the time
[TS]
01:08:54
◼
►
were like that's weird what what could
[TS]
01:08:56
◼
►
you it was it just because he felt like
[TS]
01:08:58
◼
►
I wasn't getting paid enough like was
[TS]
01:08:59
◼
►
that that none of this speaks well to
[TS]
01:09:02
◼
►
Tim Cook uh it to his management because
[TS]
01:09:05
◼
►
if you have someone who is uh says
[TS]
01:09:08
◼
►
they're retiring but they really just
[TS]
01:09:09
◼
►
want to be paid more or something you
[TS]
01:09:10
◼
►
should address that before they retire
[TS]
01:09:12
◼
►
and it like and I have to think that
[TS]
01:09:13
◼
►
that's that's crazy anyway like it's not
[TS]
01:09:16
◼
►
like an actor where you're like oh the
[TS]
01:09:17
◼
►
star of this of this movie is getting 20
[TS]
01:09:19
◼
►
million but i'm only getting five we're

like the seinfeld thing where they all
[TS]
01:09:22
◼

wanted more money and jerry seinfeld was
[TS]
01:09:24
◼

any all sorts of like ego-driven
[TS]
01:09:27
◼

Starbase things but i feel like all of
[TS]
01:09:30
◼
►
these guys executives were being paid
[TS]
01:09:31
◼
►
very well had tons of stock options it
[TS]
01:09:34
◼
►
wasn't a money issue and so then you
[TS]
01:09:36
◼
►
left to wonder if it's just some sort of
[TS]
01:09:38
◼
►
personality conflict and how do you get
[TS]
01:09:39
◼
►
the guy to come back what have you done
[TS]
01:09:42
◼
►
to change things and it seemed like they
[TS]
01:09:44
◼
►
did nothing he leaves and rooney comes
[TS]
01:09:45
◼
►
back in August I'm like well nothing has
[TS]
01:09:47
◼
►
changed between june and august that we
[TS]
01:09:49
◼
►
can imagine you know we don't think it's
[TS]
01:09:51
◼
►
money they didn't like you know he
[TS]
01:09:55
◼
►
wanted a job that he could never got and
[TS]
01:09:56
◼
►
when he brought back he finally got that
[TS]
01:09:57
◼
►
job now they brought him back and he
[TS]
01:09:59
◼
►
seemed to have a less powerful position
[TS]
01:10:00
◼
►
than he had before he was like advisor
[TS]
01:10:01
◼
►
or whatever and he used to be in
[TS]
01:10:02
◼
►
chargeable hardware so it was mysterious
[TS]
01:10:04
◼
►
all right but in this same announcement
[TS]
01:10:08
◼
►
that forestall is out now Mansfield
[TS]
01:10:10
◼
►
suddenly has a new more powerful
[TS]
01:10:12
◼
►
position not forestall his old job but
[TS]
01:10:14
◼
►
different you know he's in charge of
[TS]
01:10:15
◼
►
technologies in charge of this this
[TS]
01:10:17
◼
►
other big thing uh so regardless of the
[TS]
01:10:20
◼
►
reasoning behind this is what I'm saying
[TS]
01:10:22
◼
►
we can try to talk about this without
[TS]
01:10:23
◼
►
actually knowing is it because Mansfield
[TS]
01:10:24
◼
►
hated forestall and he wouldn't come
[TS]
01:10:26
◼
►
back until he got a promise at Forrester
[TS]
01:10:27
◼
►
was going out and seems like hoodie who
[TS]
01:10:30
◼
►
knows but like independent of what the
[TS]
01:10:32
◼
►
reasoning is when something like this
[TS]
01:10:34
◼
►
happens it is a black mark on Tim Cook's
[TS]
01:10:38
◼
►
record like if you're keeping things in
[TS]
01:10:40
◼
►
order you should be the one deciding
[TS]
01:10:41
◼
►
who's hired and fired if someone leaves
[TS]
01:10:44
◼
►
you should make sure that their that
[TS]
01:10:46
◼
►
they're leaving for reasons that you
[TS]
01:10:48
◼
►
have no control over and they really do
[TS]
01:10:50
◼
►
just want to retire like all you know
[TS]
01:10:52
◼
►
this type of thing we're a really
[TS]
01:10:54
◼
►
important guy leaves and you get them to
[TS]
01:10:55
◼
►
come back and another guy goes like it's
[TS]
01:10:57
◼
►
just not it's just like good manage but
[TS]
01:10:59
◼
►
not just because of the optics of like
[TS]
01:11:01
◼
►
how it looks from the outside and
[TS]
01:11:02
◼
►
everything but just in terms of like
[TS]
01:11:03
◼
►
turmoil and like
[TS]
01:11:05
◼
►
you know that you want the company to be
[TS]
01:11:07
◼
►
steady and under good leadership and it
[TS]
01:11:09
◼
►
should be like positive changes and
[TS]
01:11:10
◼
►
accounting crew people who want to leave
[TS]
01:11:12
◼
►
and retire this is this is I think a
[TS]
01:11:15
◼
►
failure of Management no not a big one
[TS]
01:11:17
◼
►
but a small one like it's not this is
[TS]
01:11:18
◼
►
not a estar and Tim Cook's record the
[TS]
01:11:20
◼
►
fact that all that happened regardless
[TS]
01:11:21
◼
►
there's no there's no reason this could
[TS]
01:11:23
◼
►
have happened that you know gives you a
[TS]
01:11:24
◼
►
gold star so cook the record so far he
[TS]
01:11:27
◼
►
hired the wrong guy for retail and had
[TS]
01:11:29
◼
►
to fire him uh and he did not manage his
[TS]
01:11:34
◼
►
current crop of executives who he
[TS]
01:11:35
◼
►
apparently loves right well enough
[TS]
01:11:37
◼
►
because they you know they bailed on him
[TS]
01:11:40
◼
►
he had to pull him back in right so here
[TS]
01:11:44
◼
►
finally I think with this reshuffle
[TS]
01:11:47
◼
►
announcement is the beginning of the
[TS]
01:11:48
◼
►
real Tim Cook era because finally he has
[TS]
01:11:51
◼
►
done that thing going so you're saying
[TS]
01:11:53
◼
►
you're saying that that that's over that
[TS]
01:11:54
◼
►
the reshuffle that he has now created
[TS]
01:11:56
◼
►
the Apple that he wants you're saying
[TS]
01:11:58
◼
►
he's done now he's put the people in
[TS]
01:11:59
◼
►
place he's made things happen and and we
[TS]
01:12:02
◼
►
should not see any more of this not that
[TS]
01:12:04
◼
►
he's done this is like this is like the
[TS]
01:12:06
◼
►
beginning like you could imagine in a
[TS]
01:12:08
◼
►
more traditional scenario where your CEO
[TS]
01:12:10
◼
►
goes out because he's crappy the new CEO
[TS]
01:12:11
◼
►
comes in and like you know day one or
[TS]
01:12:14
◼
►
day ten or something impressed with
[TS]
01:12:15
◼
►
these slick comes like this Here I am
[TS]
01:12:16
◼

around here and the first change is
[TS]
01:12:20
◼

◼
►
is starting the Tim Cook Aaron now not
[TS]
01:12:30
◼
►
that it's not going to be more changes
[TS]
01:12:31
◼
►
there will be but this is the first set
[TS]
01:12:33
◼
►
of them this marks the beginning of it
[TS]
01:12:35
◼
►
and so it's like the time between and
[TS]
01:12:36
◼
►
Steve Jobs left and now was him kind of
[TS]
01:12:39
◼
►
coasting trying not to screw things up
[TS]
01:12:42
◼
►
but really actually screwing things up a
[TS]
01:12:44
◼
►
little bit and now he's finally said all
[TS]
01:12:46
◼
►
right the time for me to just be like
[TS]
01:12:48
◼
►
continue doing don't mess things up that
[TS]
01:12:50
◼
►
time is over and it's time for me to do
[TS]
01:12:51
◼

stuff because things had by not doing
[TS]
01:12:53
◼
►
things I guess we all know by sort of
[TS]
01:12:56
◼
►
letting things slide and just trying to
[TS]
01:12:58
◼
►
you know stay the course things do screw
[TS]
01:13:00
◼
►
up bad things happen and so he's finally
[TS]
01:13:03
◼
►
taking the reins finally taking control
[TS]
01:13:04
◼
►

[TS]
01:13:33
◼

era ah and everything between there I
[TS]
01:13:36
◼

things that happened in between their

credit he has been fast to recover he
[TS]

◼
►
reversed that bad retail guys decision
[TS]
01:14:00
◼
►
and he gave him a little bit more chance
[TS]
01:14:02
◼
►
but he said no he's got to go like he
[TS]
01:14:03
◼
►
didn't dilly-dally he didn't try to keep
[TS]
01:14:05

him around for long whatever the problem
[TS]
01:14:06
◼
►
was with Forrestal dude this is

01:16:21

Apple as far as we're able to determine

01:16:23

from the outside huh first thing is even
[TS]
01:16:27
◼

though it's not a confirmed report I've
[TS]
01:16:28
◼

seen it enough sources that I believe it
[TS]
01:16:31

and I do know that when the iphone was
[TS]
01:16:34
◼
►
under development there were many
[TS]
01:16:38
◼

internal arguments as there always are
[TS]
01:16:39
◼
►
at any healthy company i think about
[TS]
01:16:41
◼
►
what the operating system platform
[TS]
01:16:44
◼
►
should be four apples phone thing that
[TS]
01:16:47
◼
►
they were going to do and on one side
[TS]
01:16:50
◼
►
were people arguing that should be
[TS]
01:16:52
◼
►
something other than what it was City
[TS]
01:16:55
◼
►
there should be linux-based or actually
[TS]
01:16:57
◼
►
based on the Pyxis operating system or
[TS]
01:16:59
◼
►
something like that I think Linux was a
[TS]
01:17:01
◼
►
major contender because hey that's you
[TS]
01:17:03
◼
►
know that seems logical and then there
[TS]
01:17:05
◼
►
was another entire camp saying our phone
[TS]
01:17:07
◼
►
operating system should be based on Mac
[TS]
01:17:09
◼
►
OS 10 and forestall reportedly was part
[TS]
01:17:12
◼
►
of the Mac os10 camp in fact a big part
[TS]
01:17:15
◼
►
of the Mac os10 camp and that argument
[TS]
01:17:17
◼
►
if you were to just go back in time and
[TS]
01:17:20
◼
►
look at that and we're like you're gonna
[TS]
01:17:21
◼
►
put mac OS 10 on a phone do you
[TS]
01:17:23
◼

understand like it barely runs like it's
[TS]
01:17:25

dog slow on you know a g4 powermac and
[TS]
01:17:29
◼

[TS]
01:17:33

CPU in there like no ram are you crazy
[TS]
01:17:35

[TS]
01:17:37

and yet that camp you know perhaps not
[TS]
01:17:49

led by but certainly supported heavily
[TS]
01:17:51
◼

by Forrestal according to all accounts
[TS]
01:17:52

won that argument inside Apple and
[TS]
01:17:54

that's not it that's a hard thing to do
[TS]
01:17:56

there may be many cases in the history
[TS]
01:17:57

of Apple where the the thing they
[TS]
01:18:00

decided to do seems a little crazy or

was the correct call like does anyone

think of if iOS was based on linux Apple

would be where it is today it was very

thumbs up on that right he was involved

with it eventually led the you know the

from zero to like you know a big gorilla

right in some respects things like this
[TS]
01:19:01

are a little tiny bit right place right
[TS]
01:19:03

time because say you were involved I
[TS]
01:19:08
◼

even just the mac OS 10 guys like the

01:19:10
◼

guys who were in charge of the Mac of

01:19:11
◼

Mac OS 10 during the same time that for

so was involved in iOS did they do a
[TS]
01:19:15
◼

worse job than for us awesome but
[TS]
01:19:17
◼

because the Mac didn't have like
[TS]
01:19:18
◼

phenomenal growth like I always did just
[TS]
01:19:20
◼

you know the mac is a PC operating

system that market is mature and it
[TS]
01:19:25
◼

doesn't just have just didn't have the
[TS]
01:19:26
◼

growth potential that iOS did or it was
[TS]
01:19:28
◼

harder to change because it was an
[TS]
01:19:29
◼

existing established market whereas hey
[TS]
01:19:31
◼
►
you know this was a smartphone OS it was
[TS]
01:19:33
◼

in a class of its own so in some
[TS]
01:19:35
◼

respects this is another thing that
[TS]
01:19:36
◼

happens in corporations the dude who
[TS]
01:19:39
◼

happens to be in charge of the one
[TS]
01:19:40
◼

project that probably would have been
[TS]
01:19:41
◼

probably would have succeeded anyway
[TS]
01:19:43
◼

like it was set up to succeed because it
[TS]
01:19:45
◼
►
was the right plan at the right time and
[TS]
01:19:46
◼
►
the right product and he just had to
[TS]
01:19:47
◼
►
competently executed he looks like a god
[TS]
01:19:51
◼
►
because it's like oh this he's the guy
[TS]
01:19:53
◼
►
in charge of iOS and iOS is the naf the
[TS]
01:19:55
◼
►
foundation of this company it prints
[TS]
01:19:56
◼
►
money like a
[TS]
01:19:57
◼

you know like the printing press is just
[TS]
01:19:59
◼
►
unbelievable we're just drowning in
[TS]
01:20:01
◼
►
profit and she's massively successful
[TS]
01:20:03
◼
►
great for forest all that not that he
[TS]
01:20:07
◼
►
doesn't deserve credit for this and I
[TS]
01:20:08
◼
►
just got through saying how he was such
[TS]
01:20:10
◼
►
a strong proponent of it being based on
[TS]
01:20:11
◼
►
Mac os10 which was the right decision
[TS]
01:20:13
◼
►
and a key decision but it is possible no
[TS]
01:20:16
◼
►
matter how awesome you are to end up
[TS]
01:20:19
◼
►
being elevated to a level that exceeds
[TS]
01:20:22
◼
►
you know that your actual merits and you
[TS]
01:20:25
◼
►
end up having maybe more power than you
[TS]
01:20:27
◼
►
should have simply because like he's the
[TS]
01:20:29
◼
►
guy he's the guy who's leading iOS and I
[TS]
01:20:31
◼
►
was like you know he can do no wrong
[TS]
01:20:32
◼
►
he's awesome and Steve Jobs himself has
[TS]
01:20:34
◼
►
that phenomenon a lot but so you know in
[TS]
01:20:37
◼
►
the eyes of your boss or whatever they
[TS]
01:20:38
◼
►
don't need to know the details what they
[TS]
01:20:39
◼
►
know is that you're the guy in charge of
[TS]
01:20:41
◼
►
iOS and iOS is awesome and it's making
[TS]
01:20:43
◼
►
tons of money right and it's hard to
[TS]
01:20:47
◼
►
know during the ascendancy of iOS how
[TS]
01:20:50
◼
►
many things that forestall do that were
[TS]
01:20:52
◼
►
positive or negative how many things was
[TS]
01:20:54
◼
►
he for that were good or against there
[TS]
01:20:55
◼
►
were bed and you know Steve Jobs himself
[TS]
01:20:57
◼
►
is a great example because it various
[TS]
01:20:58
◼
►
times in the ascendancy of the ipod of
[TS]
01:21:00
◼
►
the mac and so on so are Steve Jobs has
[TS]
01:21:02
◼
►
been on the wrong side of many decisions
[TS]
01:21:03
◼
►
and he would you know I don't want
[TS]
01:21:05
◼
►
itunes on Windows to being a great
[TS]
01:21:06
◼
►
example that was the wrong decision it
[TS]
01:21:08
◼
►
needs insisted on and stop the speed and
[TS]
01:21:10
◼
►
was a big baby about it and he was
[TS]
01:21:12
◼
►
eventually convinced by the rest of the
[TS]
01:21:13
◼
►
executive team this was the right thing
[TS]
01:21:14
◼
►
to do that's an example of good
[TS]
01:21:17
◼
►
leadership allowing yourself to be
[TS]
01:21:18
◼
►
convinced and not putting your foot down
[TS]
01:21:19
◼
►
but it's also an example of you making
[TS]
01:21:21
◼
►
the wrong move so I bet forestalls
[TS]
01:21:23
◼
►
stewardship of iOS was similar in that
[TS]
01:21:25
◼
►
maybe he was against a lot of things
[TS]
01:21:27
◼
►
that were good ideas like I don't know
[TS]
01:21:29
◼
►
where he felt that on the App Store
[TS]
01:21:30
◼
►
approval process and all of the various
[TS]
01:21:33
◼
►
compromises made there but maybe he was
[TS]
01:21:35
◼
►
on the wrong side of a lot of those but
[TS]
01:21:36
◼
►
whatever he ended up doing he was either
[TS]
01:21:38
◼
►
able to be convinced by people to make
[TS]
01:21:40
◼
►
the right moves or the things that he
[TS]
01:21:41
◼
►
did weren't bad enough so uh to to
[TS]
01:21:44
◼
►
really hurt it that much so it's hard to
[TS]
01:21:48
◼
►
assess his influence on iOS uh but you
[TS]
01:21:54
◼
►
know especially in the beginning but
[TS]
01:21:55
◼
►
towards the end because House of how
[TS]
01:21:58
◼
►
successful iOS was and because of how
[TS]
01:22:01
◼
►
much power he had acquired within the
[TS]
01:22:03
◼
►
company he was Steve Jobs guy jobs you
[TS]
01:22:06
◼
►
know the two of them by all accounts
[TS]
01:22:07
◼
►
were very close and he was in charge of
[TS]
01:22:10
◼
►
their most successful
[TS]
01:22:11
◼
►
line ever the most successful platform
[TS]
01:22:13
◼
►
ever and so it towards the end of a
[TS]
01:22:15
◼
►
forestalls ring you have to say that
[TS]
01:22:17
◼
►
everything that was going on in iOS you
[TS]
01:22:19
◼
►
know in the beginning you don't know how
[TS]
01:22:20
◼
►
much influence yeah but towards the end
[TS]
01:22:21
◼
►
it's like that would not have happened
[TS]
01:22:23
◼
►
to forestall didn't approve especially
[TS]
01:22:25
◼
►
after Jobs was gone because that was my
[TS]
01:22:26
◼
►
Jobs was around you're like no matter
[TS]
01:22:28
◼
►
what Apple does well the job is
[TS]
01:22:29
◼
►
initially forward against you do know
[TS]
01:22:31
◼
►
that if it was released he was okay with
[TS]
01:22:34
◼
►
it being released like nothing's getting
[TS]
01:22:36
◼
►
out of Apple that Steve Jobs thinks is
[TS]
01:22:38
◼
►
terrible and should never be released
[TS]
01:22:39
◼
►
because he was the guy and he was the
[TS]
01:22:40
◼
►
decider he was the guy in charge of
[TS]
01:22:41
◼
►
everything when Steve Jobs was gone the
[TS]
01:22:44
◼
►
decider for iOS was definitely for so
[TS]
01:22:46
◼
►
when Jobs was there it would be like
[TS]
01:22:48
◼
►
okay Forrestal could decide one thing
[TS]
01:22:49
◼
►
would have jobs said no then I wasn't
[TS]
01:22:50
◼
►
going to happen but it seemed like jobs
[TS]
01:22:52
◼
►
in forest all of the same mind about
[TS]
01:22:54
◼
►
what was going on there so towards the
[TS]
01:22:56
◼
►
end of his reign you can say okay now
[TS]
01:22:58
◼
►
everything that's happening in iOS I'm
[TS]
01:23:00
◼
►
going to lay that at the foot of forest
[TS]
01:23:01
◼
►
all because he was tremendously powerful
[TS]
01:23:02
◼
►
jobs is no longer there and so that's
[TS]
01:23:05
◼
►
got to be him right and examples of
[TS]
01:23:07
◼
►
things that happened when it was just
[TS]
01:23:11
◼
►
Forrestal or when I was at the end of
[TS]
01:23:12
◼
►
his reign and when it's most clear to us
[TS]
01:23:15
◼
►
on the outside that this had to have
[TS]
01:23:16
◼
►
been at least approved by Forrestal
[TS]
01:23:18
◼
►
because he was basically a dictator of
[TS]
01:23:20
◼
►
that whole section of this huge part of
[TS]
01:23:21
◼
►
Apple business are Siri maps and maybe
[TS]
01:23:25
◼
►
the crazy skeuomorphic and textured app
[TS]
01:23:29
◼
►
bonanza that happened on on iOS right
[TS]
01:23:32
◼
►
but certainly Syria maps those land
[TS]
01:23:35
◼
►
directly at the feet of forest all it's
[TS]
01:23:37
◼
►
hard for me to imagine that you know
[TS]
01:23:41
◼
►
like the book has to stop with him at
[TS]
01:23:43
◼
►
that point because he was so clearly in
[TS]
01:23:45
◼
►
charge jobs was gone I can't imagine Tim
[TS]
01:23:47
◼
►
Cook taking on the same role the jobs
[TS]
01:23:48
◼
►
did to come in and say oh I really want
[TS]
01:23:50
◼
►
to find my friends to be leather Tim
[TS]
01:23:52
◼
►
Cook is not doing that by all accounts
[TS]
01:23:54
◼
►
right so that was all on Forrestal and
[TS]
01:23:56
◼
►
all those things have parts of them that
[TS]
01:24:02
◼
►
were not you know up to Apple standard
[TS]
01:24:05
◼
►
Siri was released as beta that's apple
[TS]
01:24:08
◼
►
kind of admitting that's not really
[TS]
01:24:10
◼
►
quite ready to go or whatever but job
[TS]
01:24:12
◼
►
sauce eerie and thumbs up that but he
[TS]
01:24:14
◼
►
was like practically on his deathbed so
[TS]
01:24:15
◼
►
you can't know if he's like why but this
[TS]
01:24:17
◼
►
will be great or whatever or was he
[TS]
01:24:18
◼
►
thinking himself or if I was still well
[TS]
01:24:19
◼
►
and I was in charge I would say maybe
[TS]
01:24:21
◼
►
his leave Syria you know but he wasn't
[TS]
01:24:23
◼
►
in charge anymore so I'm
[TS]
01:24:24
◼
►
the story i think it was in the i
[TS]
01:24:25
◼
►
descend by or someplace else where they
[TS]
01:24:27
◼
►
were showing steve jobs in the hospital
[TS]
01:24:28
◼
►
serie I think it was actually forestall
[TS]
01:24:30
◼
►
showing it to him right but Siri you
[TS]
01:24:32
◼
►
know I've had my show where I talked
[TS]
01:24:34
◼
►
about Siri a little bit they Apple to
[TS]
01:24:38
◼
►
you know to its credit or detriment put
[TS]
01:24:41
◼
►
the full force of apples company behind
[TS]
01:24:42
◼
►
cereal the ads with Siri the celebrities
[TS]
01:24:44
◼
►
talking to or whatever the reality of it
[TS]
01:24:46
◼
►
was like not great and that was kind of
[TS]
01:24:48
◼
►
acknowledged by the beta thing maps
[TS]
01:24:50
◼
►
second rounding and we talked about this
[TS]
01:24:51
◼
►
in the past show Apple had to take over
[TS]
01:24:53
◼
►
maps it had to take the reins on that
[TS]
01:24:55
◼
►
but it also had to do a good job with it
[TS]
01:24:56
◼
►
and so they got most of that except for
[TS]
01:24:58
◼
►
the good job part maybe not so much
[TS]
01:25:00
◼
►
maybe it should have baked longer or
[TS]
01:25:01
◼
►
whatever that falls at forestalls feet
[TS]
01:25:05
◼
►
as well right and the skeuomorphic stuff
[TS]
01:25:07
◼
►
with the you know things looking like
[TS]
01:25:09
◼
►
leather or looking like knobs that you
[TS]
01:25:11
◼
►
have to turn stuff like that or just
[TS]
01:25:13
◼
►
everything being texture with linen
[TS]
01:25:15
◼
►
everywhere every report we seniors at
[TS]
01:25:17
◼
►
steve jobs like that and that forest all
[TS]
01:25:20
◼
►
liked to and once you know like iOS 6
[TS]
01:25:22
◼
►
the OS that i would say you know is the
[TS]
01:25:26
◼
►
moat has four stalls fingerprinted the
[TS]
01:25:28
◼
►
most certainly he had the most power to
[TS]
01:25:29
◼
►
influence that had a ton of that stuff
[TS]
01:25:31
◼
►
now mango was tended to I don't know
[TS]
01:25:33
◼
►
forestall properly didn't have any moves
[TS]
01:25:35
◼
►
over matter was ten i'm not sure but uh
[TS]
01:25:36
◼
►
that's why i say maybe for this year
[TS]
01:25:39
◼
►
more big stuff and there's tons of
[TS]
01:25:40
◼
►
stories about that like oh the whole
[TS]
01:25:41
◼
►
reason we have these ugly skeuomorphic
[TS]
01:25:43
◼
►
apps is because Forrestal was in charge
[TS]
01:25:45
◼
►
now that he's gone we won't have them
[TS]
01:25:46
◼
►
anymore I don't think that's clear so
[TS]
01:25:48
◼
►
that's why I give that one a maybe ah
[TS]
01:25:49
◼
►
but if you're looking for from the
[TS]
01:25:52
◼
►
outside any possible reason why
[TS]
01:25:54
◼
►
Forrestal should be out of the company
[TS]
01:25:57
◼
►
just based on the visibility things we
[TS]
01:25:59
◼
►
can see we also have Siri performed in
[TS]
01:26:01
◼
►
what it did we all saw have maps
[TS]
01:26:02
◼
►
performing in what it did so those two
[TS]
01:26:04
◼
►
things combined with any possible
[TS]
01:26:06
◼
►
personality conflict person I like
[TS]
01:26:08
◼
►
complex alone aren't going to do it I
[TS]
01:26:09
◼
►
don't think map someone do it I don't
[TS]
01:26:11
◼
►
think Siri alone would do just a serious
[TS]
01:26:12
◼
►
combination of everything yeah Syria
[TS]
01:26:14
◼
►
plus maps plus any kind of personality
[TS]
01:26:16
◼
►
conflict in terms in whether he's right
[TS]
01:26:18
◼
►
or wrong with everyone else's the jerk
[TS]
01:26:20
◼
►
and Scott Forstall is not a jerk
[TS]
01:26:21
◼
►
regardless like those two actual
[TS]

[TS]

think that it adequately explains why
[TS]
01:26:34
◼

Forrestal is now out and it's kind of
[TS]
01:26:38
◼

said but on the other hand those two
[TS]
01:26:40
◼

things Syrian maps and I we all made fun
[TS]
01:26:42

of the whole this would've never

happened to Steve Jobs was there you
[TS]
01:26:44

know Steve Jobs had plenty of stinkers
[TS]
01:26:45

too but uh and seemed guys really did
[TS]
01:26:48
◼

like Forrestal and it could be the Steve

01:26:49

Jobs would have given him more of a

hired from or the IBM or something he
[TS]
01:26:57

came and went pretty quickly to under

01:26:59

the jobs era so yeah I think this this
[TS]
01:27:03

forestalls legacy is mostly positive but
[TS]
01:27:08

kind of ended on not a great note for

Apple or for himself because it's the

last things you did or Syrian maps maybe
[TS]
01:27:17
◼

that's not such a great track record ah
[TS]
01:27:18

so cook getting rid of him regardless of
[TS]
01:27:22

any other reasons is probably a positive

because like it's like I gave you a

that you gotta go next one up is Johnny

I've who we all know for many years it's
[TS]
01:27:43
◼

been out for a long time industrial
[TS]
01:27:44
◼

designer making up all the suit so it's
[TS]
01:27:46
◼

hardware now he's going to be in it
[TS]
01:27:48
◼

would be one guy in charge of human
[TS]
01:27:50
◼

interface where there was never well
[TS]
01:27:52
◼

there hadn't been in the jobs to error

01:27:53

really anyone who had this position
[TS]
01:27:54

other than implicitly Steve Jobs himself
[TS]
01:27:57

but now there's an actual guy whose
[TS]
01:27:59
◼

title is here in interface across the
[TS]
01:28:01
◼
►
entire company and this includes both
[TS]
01:28:03
◼
►
hardware and software cuz he's still in
[TS]
01:28:04
◼

charge of industrial design and now he's
[TS]
01:28:06
◼
►
also in charge of the human interface of
[TS]
01:28:07
◼
►
all their software right and the
[TS]
01:28:10
◼
►
question is now we all know what jony
[TS]
01:28:13
◼
►
ive's industrial design taste is because
[TS]
01:28:15
◼
►
we're all staring at and touching it and
[TS]
01:28:16
◼
►
using it all the time like his you know
[TS]
01:28:19
◼
►
we know what that aesthetic is what is
[TS]
01:28:21
◼
►
his software taste do we know anything
[TS]
01:28:23
◼
►
about what he how he feels about
[TS]
01:28:25
◼
►
software now supposedly Johnny I've had
[TS]
01:28:29
◼
►
a big influence on the design of the
[TS]
01:28:30
◼
►
very first version of iOS which if you
[TS]
01:28:32
◼
►
look at the very first version of iOS
[TS]
01:28:34
◼
►
looks very different than iOS 6 in terms
[TS]
01:28:36
◼
►
of just you know the look and feel of
[TS]
01:28:38
◼
►
the thing not the operation so much just
[TS]
01:28:40
◼
►
look in the field of the widgets and the
[TS]
01:28:41
◼
►
textures and the way the apps are
[TS]
01:28:44
◼
►
organized and the interfaces and stuff
[TS]
01:28:45
◼
►
like that and you know as I said by all
[TS]
01:28:49
◼
►
accounts for stall and jobs for
[TS]
01:28:51
◼
►
totally on the bandwagon of they like
[TS]
01:28:53
◼
►
like things look like they were made of
[TS]
01:28:54
◼
►
real material looks like it's made of
[TS]
01:28:55
◼
►
wood looks like it's made of some other
[TS]
01:28:57
◼
►
material and they also like
[TS]
01:28:58
◼
►
skeuomorphism where it's like well a
[TS]
01:29:00
◼
►
real mixer control panel has knobs on it
[TS]
01:29:03
◼
►
so when we put a mixer control panel and
[TS]
01:29:05
◼
►
GarageBand we're gonna have knobs you're
[TS]
01:29:07
◼
►
gonna turn them with your little fingers
[TS]
01:29:08
◼
►
because real ones did and even though
[TS]
01:29:10
◼
►
knobs you know that that whole thing and
[TS]
01:29:12
◼
►
or putting big leather flaps on stuff
[TS]
01:29:14
◼
►
and all sorts of stuff like that that
[TS]
01:29:16
◼
►
the leather with the stitching on it
[TS]
01:29:18
◼
►
because real calendar full pages need
[TS]
01:29:20
◼
►
some sort of stitching to all the pages
[TS]
01:29:21
◼
►
and the computer one doesn't but we're
[TS]
01:29:23
◼
►
going to put it there anyway the book
[TS]
01:29:24
◼
►
design for contacts a real contact book
[TS]
01:29:26
◼
►
is a book and you opened it and the
[TS]
01:29:27
◼
►
sides have to be the same size doesn't
[TS]
01:29:29
◼
►
need to be that way in the computer but
[TS]
01:29:30
◼
►
it was all of that supposedly is for
[TS]
01:29:38
◼
►
stolen jobs during and as we discussed
[TS]
01:29:40
◼
►
on the windows 8 show that I couldn't
[TS]
01:29:42
◼
►
find anywhere when I was looking at
[TS]
01:29:43
◼
►
windows 8 when it was introduced and you
[TS]
01:29:46
◼
►
spend enough time staring windows 8 and
[TS]
01:29:47
◼
►
playing with it this is before the
[TS]
01:29:49
◼
►
service just playing with on a desktop
[TS]
01:29:50
◼
►
and stuff like that or even just windows
[TS]
01:29:52
◼
►
phone 7 if you just spend enough time
[TS]
01:29:53
◼
►
with those and then you go back to your
[TS]
01:29:55
◼
►
iOS device it makes the iOS and this is
[TS]
01:29:59
◼
►
iOS 5 back then I think it makes the iOS
[TS]
01:30:01
◼
►
interface look dated it looks dated in
[TS]
01:30:04
◼
►
the way that if you were to boot up your
[TS]
01:30:06
◼
►
current mac into jaguar 10.2 or
[TS]
01:30:09
◼
►
something but the pinstripes would would
[TS]
01:30:10
◼
►
blind you'd be like oh my god how did I
[TS]
01:30:12
◼
►
even use this thing like some of that is
[TS]
01:30:16
◼
►
fashion but some of it is also that it's
[TS]
01:30:17
◼
►
like it's a treatment of its more heavy
[TS]
01:30:19
◼
►
weight it's more to made look like a
[TS]
01:30:21
◼
►
texture like a material and not not that
[TS]
01:30:24
◼
►
I'm saying that Windows 8 is like nicer
[TS]
01:30:26
◼
►
looking or better looking observe one of
[TS]
01:30:27
◼
►
the UI has problems as well but just in
[TS]
01:30:30
◼
►
terms of which one of these you know so
[TS]
01:30:32
◼
►
it's like an analogy current mac west
[TS]
01:30:34
◼
►
you know pinstripes is the current Mac
[TS]
01:30:36
◼
►
os10 as current iOS you know six is two
[TS]
01:30:40
◼
►
as to what it spending time with Windows
[TS]
01:30:44
◼
►
8 it makes windows it look like the
[TS]
01:30:47
◼
►
natural evolution of four get rid of
[TS]
01:30:49
◼
►
these details don't pile more on and
[TS]
01:30:50
◼
►
both the mac and iOS have been sort of
[TS]
01:30:52
◼
►
reversing that where they've been adding
[TS]
01:30:54
◼
►
more texture more materials more more
[TS]
01:30:57
◼
►
stuff that is sort of decorative and
[TS]
01:31:00
◼
►
maybe superfluous or whatever that
[TS]
01:31:04
◼
►
doesn't necessarily the
[TS]
01:31:04
◼
►
that one approach is better than the
[TS]
01:31:06
◼
►
other just that kind of feel that you
[TS]
01:31:07
◼
►
have when you look at like Oh remember
[TS]
01:31:09
◼
►
how Mac os10 used to be and you look at
[TS]
01:31:11
◼
►
that and it feels old that's the way iOS
[TS]
01:31:14
◼
►
feels to current iOS feels to me after
[TS]
01:31:16
◼
►
using Windows 8 so that that's it that's
[TS]
01:31:18
◼
►
you know that something that's in the
[TS]
01:31:20
◼
►
air at least at least I feel I may be
[TS]
01:31:22
◼
►
other people feel different way about
[TS]
01:31:23
◼
►
now jony ive is reportedly against that
[TS]
01:31:26
◼
►
that all those trends and here's his
[TS]
01:31:28
◼
►
interview from may 2012 that I put in
[TS]
01:31:30
◼
►
the Charlotte's the Gruber link to from
[TS]
01:31:32
◼
►
a telegraph in the UK and it's talking
[TS]
01:31:35
◼
►
about skeuomorphism and all stuff like
[TS]
01:31:37
◼
►
that and talk about this is when the
[TS]
01:31:39
◼
►
calendar app had a leather on and stuff
[TS]
01:31:41
◼
►
like that and the interviewer says when
[TS]
01:31:43
◼
►
I mentioned the fake stitching I've
[TS]
01:31:45
◼
►
offers a wince but it's a gesture of
[TS]
01:31:47
◼
►
sympathy rather than a suggestion that
[TS]
01:31:48
◼
►
he just like such things at least that's
[TS]
01:31:50
◼
►
how I read it so the author of his
[TS]
01:31:52
◼
►
articles trying to be charitable and
[TS]
01:31:53
◼
►
saying that I've winces when he mentions
[TS]
01:31:55
◼
►
the leather on the calendar I think it's
[TS]
01:31:56
◼
►
a pretty clear indication that Johnny I
[TS]
01:31:57
◼
►
was not in favor of putting the leather
[TS]
01:32:00
◼
►
and the stitching on the count right but
[TS]
01:32:02
◼
►
he's trying to sell well it's nothing
[TS]
01:32:03
◼
►
doesn't like it it's just that it's not
[TS]
01:32:04
◼
►
simple and so here's the video continues
[TS]
01:32:08
◼
►
that I've refuses to be drawn on the
[TS]
01:32:10
◼
►
matter offering a diplomatic reply and
[TS]
01:32:12
◼
►
this is a quote from I've my focus is
[TS]
01:32:14
◼
►
very much working with other teams on
[TS]
01:32:16
◼
►
products and ideas been developing
[TS]
01:32:17
◼
►
hardware so that's our focus and that's
[TS]
01:32:18
◼
►
our responsibility in terms of those
[TS]
01:32:20
◼
►
elements that you're talking about I'm
[TS]
01:32:21
◼
►
not really connected to that and when
[TS]
01:32:23
◼
►
Gruber posted this exact excerpt on his
[TS]
01:32:25
◼
►
forestall outpost which has the correct
[TS]
01:32:28
◼
►
URL forestall underscore out as Gruber
[TS]
01:32:31
◼
►
says he's connected now is connected now
[TS]
01:32:33
◼
►
well it used to be like oh I'm not
[TS]
01:32:35
◼
►
really connected to the software well
[TS]
01:32:36
◼
►
now you're in charge of the software so
[TS]
01:32:38
◼
►
presumably it's hard to imagine that the
[TS]
01:32:41
◼
►
level of real-world materials
[TS]
01:32:43
◼
►
heavyweight user interface comforting
[TS]
01:32:47
◼

decorative things that remind us of
[TS]
01:32:49
◼
►
physical objects that's got to go down
[TS]
01:32:50
◼
►
now it's just got out because if he's
[TS]
01:32:52
◼
►
wincing at like when we just put leather
[TS]
01:32:54
◼
►
on the calendar surely he's not in favor
[TS]
01:32:55
◼
►
of those damn reel-to-reel things
[TS]
01:32:58
◼
►
turning in the podcast app right like
[TS]
01:33:00
◼
►
that is just way over the edge now it
[TS]
01:33:03
◼
►
doesn't mean that you know sudden garage
[TS]
01:33:05
◼
►
bands not gonna have a little fake piano
[TS]
01:33:06
◼
►
on it of course it's going to like this
[TS]
01:33:07
◼
►
appropriate points for these things you
[TS]
01:33:09
◼
►
wanted to have a gorgeous looking fake
[TS]
01:33:10
◼
►
piano or the little the fake drums and
[TS]
01:33:12
◼
►
stuff like that but maybe not for the
[TS]
01:33:14
◼
►
podcast app with a reel-to-reel like
[TS]
01:33:16
◼
►
that is probably over the line and I
[TS]
01:33:17
◼
►
to imagine that the amount of this stuff
[TS]
01:33:20
◼
►
we see and it is two categories of stuff
[TS]
01:33:22
◼
►
it's not just all skeuomorphic the
[TS]
01:33:24
◼
►
skeuomorphism making little virtual
[TS]
01:33:25
◼
►
knobs and stuff and then there's making
[TS]
01:33:28
◼
►
things look like they're made it real
[TS]
01:33:29
◼
►
materials and textured looks and stuff
[TS]
01:33:31
◼
►
like that and that's more of an
[TS]
01:33:31
◼
►
aesthetic thing both of those seem like
[TS]
01:33:34
◼
►
they have to go down with I've and most
[TS]
01:33:36
◼
►
people are happy about that because they
[TS]
01:33:38
◼
►
feel like it's gone too far in the other
[TS]
01:33:39
◼

direction I possible dangers with I've
[TS]
01:33:42
◼

taking over here judging by his hardware
[TS]
01:33:45
◼

I've has a little bit of a tendency to
[TS]
01:33:47
◼
►
make things a bit simpler and cleaner
[TS]
01:33:49
◼
►
than they should be like he you know
[TS]
01:33:53
◼
►
he's enamored with beautiful simple
[TS]
01:33:55
◼
►
elegant designs but at some point you
[TS]
01:33:56
◼
►
also have to use the thing he's always
[TS]
01:33:57
◼
►
trying to balance that to make it usable
[TS]
01:33:59
◼
►
but also beautiful and simple and
[TS]
01:34:01
◼
►
sometimes he goes the wrong way hockey
[TS]
01:34:02
◼
►
puck mouse I'm not sure if he was for or
[TS]
01:34:06
◼

against that but he was he was an
[TS]
01:34:08
◼
►
industrial designer an apple when that
[TS]
01:34:09
◼
►
happen Steve Jobs sure loved it maybe he
[TS]
01:34:12
◼
►
told Steve Jobs this little circle mouse
[TS]
01:34:13
◼

was just a little concept drawing but
[TS]
01:34:15
◼
►
you can't ship this thing Steve we don't
[TS]
01:34:16
◼
►
know what was going on but the but you
[TS]
01:34:19
◼
►
know you have to assign the hockey puck
[TS]
01:34:20
◼
►
mouse of somebody and he was the
[TS]
01:34:21
◼
►
industrial designer at that point and he
[TS]
01:34:23
◼
►
was behind the imac and all that other
[TS]
01:34:24
◼
►
stuff and they shipped a circular mouse
[TS]
01:34:26
◼
►
it was hard to tell which way was up it
[TS]
01:34:27
◼
►
looked beautiful nice and symmetrical
[TS]
01:34:30
◼
►
and even and you know look it's a
[TS]
01:34:31
◼
►
beautiful circle but horribly key is you
[TS]
01:34:33
◼
►
know they can't be served as you can't
[TS]
01:34:35
◼
►
tell which way is up and you got a feel
[TS]
01:34:36
◼
►
for the cord with your fingers and they
[TS]
01:34:38
◼
►
put a little dent on it and now you're
[TS]
01:34:39
◼

caught that must have pained him so much

point this out just to to highlight the

the spring to mind for me is we all know

Stanley Kubrick or anything else with a

you have taste in one area doesn't mean
[TS]
01:40:55

it transfers the area so that's why I

want to warn against looking at Johnny

ABS wardrobe and how he does hardware
[TS]

and stuff like that and saying therefore

his software is going to look like his

of places in my life where I have a

transfer at all to other parts of my

compartmentalizing things and yeah

hardware and software might seem like

they're related but I think you know it

I think there Johnny I was much more of

a wild card in the software around the

don't know I mean there's certainly

complaining about with him maybe I'll
[TS]

make things too simple and remove a

bunch of options because he didn't think

Google still does all this stuff better
[TS]
01:45:25

an apple still does not seem to have a

server-side culture and we've talked
[TS]
01:45:31
◼
►
about in past shows what other companies
[TS]
01:45:32
◼

do but at this point I think we have to

01:45:34
◼

say with iCloud an itunes match and Game
[TS]
01:45:36
◼
►
Center like all these things that Apple
[TS]
01:45:38
◼

is doing at this point Apple really
[TS]
01:45:41
◼

should be doing what all the other big
[TS]
01:45:42
◼
►
guys do before I was contrasting it and
[TS]
01:45:45
◼
►
saying here's what Google does here so

01:45:46
◼

the Facebook dog and apple doesn't do
[TS]
01:45:48
◼

that and how can they ever be as good as
[TS]
01:45:49

that but now Apple has so many things

online and so many essential important
[TS]
01:45:53
◼

parts that I cloud is essential for iOS

iTunes Match an itunes store like and
[TS]
01:45:59

this is you know the Apple is as much an
[TS]
01:46:03
◼
►
online service company at this point as
[TS]
01:46:05
◼
►
something like Google practically Apple
[TS]
01:46:07
◼
►
this point should be building its own
[TS]
01:46:09
◼
►
servers writing some of its own server
[TS]
01:46:11
◼
►
side infrastructure saw we're doing all
[TS]
01:46:13
◼

the things that Facebook Amazon and
[TS]
01:46:15
◼

Google do in the Apple as far as me out
[TS]
01:46:17
◼

[TS]
01:46:19
◼
►
when Windows Azure at which it
[TS]
01:46:21
◼

reportedly was it should not be leaning
[TS]
01:46:23
◼

on oracle and EMC to solve its problems
[TS]
01:46:25
◼

it really has to get a server-side
[TS]
01:46:28
◼

culture I mean just steal Google's
[TS]
01:46:31
◼
►
entire operation team and pay them
[TS]
01:46:32
◼
►
gazillions of dollars you got but if I
[TS]
01:46:34
◼

had to say what should Apple do with its
[TS]
01:46:36
◼
►
building some dollars i mean maybe they
[TS]
01:46:37
◼
►
can't buy these guys
[TS]
01:46:38
◼
►
but in the fantasy world where that
[TS]
01:46:40
◼

money could transfer into getting
[TS]
01:46:42
◼

Google's entire operations and that's
[TS]
01:46:43
◼

what Apple would need if they could if
[TS]
01:46:44
◼
►
applicant wish one things into existence
[TS]
01:46:46
◼
►
it would be give us a server-side
[TS]
01:46:47
◼
►
operations team as good as Google or
[TS]
01:46:50
◼
►
maybe even Amazon's because both of
[TS]
01:46:51
◼
►
those guys you know and Facebook is kind
[TS]
01:46:54
◼
►
of just slap things together but like

happen inside Apple to to recognize that
[TS]
01:47:20
◼

you're not the company than X iphones

half its resources doing this invisible
[TS]
01:47:26
◼

server side stuff that you don't think

01:47:28

it is important that you just want to go

01:47:29
◼

away that you just want to pay a vendor
[TS]

all we see them like we see them when

01:48:36
◼
►
beginning you know that's those are big

[TS]
01:48:48
◼

people started to like him when he seems
[TS]
01:48:49
◼

more confident so he's in charge of
[TS]
01:48:51
◼

considerable when converting back and

don't you use just Pat string you know

use these higher level constructs that

develop a mangosteen application so you
[TS]
01:51:49
◼

should totally use cocoa that's a slight

but at that time was basically the Mac

API in the form they ran in Mac OS 10 be

development he slammed C++ in a very

01:52:04

cautious way saying a low c plus so c++

01:52:07

provides several attractive features
[TS]
01:52:08

especially for application developers
[TS]
01:52:10

experience has shown that it also

presents a couple of risks to be guarded

against and goes through fragile base

class stuff and all all the areas where
[TS]
01:52:17
◼

objector seems better than C++ saying
[TS]
01:52:19
◼

maybe think real hard about doing that
[TS]
01:52:20

uh and this technote that i read that

01:52:24
◼

probably sounds either nonsensical are
[TS]
01:52:26
◼

certainly not crazy or ludicrous was
[TS]
01:52:28
◼

pulled because of the backlash from the
[TS]
01:52:30
◼

then big community of existing Mac
[TS]
01:52:31
◼

developers who were suspicious of this
[TS]
01:52:33
◼

whole crazy next world they're like
[TS]
01:52:34
◼

you're telling me all the crap that I do
[TS]
01:52:35
◼

to make mac apps is terrible and you
[TS]
01:52:37
◼

want me to use your next stuff and let
[TS]
01:52:39
◼
►
me tell you while your next stuff is
[TS]
01:52:40
◼

terrible and so that was like a PR
[TS]
01:52:42
◼
►
problem they pulled that techno so I
[TS]
01:52:43
◼
►
think to this day it goes like twenty
[TS]
01:52:45
◼
►
thirty three and twenty thirty five
[TS]
01:52:46
◼
►
twenty thirty four is gone but many of
[TS]
01:52:49
◼
►
the things that I be recommended
[TS]
01:52:50
◼
►
actually came to past filename
[TS]
01:52:52
◼
►
extensions are used everywhere in Mac OS
[TS]
01:52:54
◼
►
10 now resource fork is deprecated
[TS]
01:52:56
◼
►
carbon stopped at 32-bit did not
[TS]
01:52:59
◼
►
continue into 64 bit it's basically gone
[TS]
01:53:00
◼
►
not gone but you know on its way out so
[TS]
01:53:03
◼
►
Coco was the way to do you know he was
[TS]
01:53:05
◼
►
right you should use cocoa to do that
[TS]
01:53:06
◼
►
stuff not all the things that came to
[TS]
01:53:09
◼
►
pass aren't necessarily good things that
[TS]
01:53:11
◼
►
in particular I think the filename
[TS]
01:53:12
◼
►
extension thing was a big mistake and
[TS]
01:53:13
◼
►
they could have done a better compromise
[TS]
01:53:15
◼
►
they're not by using resource Forks not
[TS]
01:53:17
◼
►
by using H of
[TS]
01:53:18
◼
►
type creator codes but simply by making
[TS]
01:53:20
◼
►
a new canonical representation of file
[TS]
01:53:22
◼
►
type information and merely having the
[TS]
01:53:25
◼
►
file extend filename extension be
[TS]
01:53:26
◼
►
reflection of that anyway I've discussed
[TS]
01:53:27
◼
►
this at length with Barry's people at
[TS]
01:53:30
◼
►
many times that ship has sailed Pat's
[TS]
01:53:33
◼
►
instead of FS refs and I vest specs that
[TS]
01:53:36
◼
►
was just plain bad advice and luckily
[TS]
01:53:38
◼
►
that one didn't come to pass because
[TS]
01:53:39
◼
►
paths are not as durable and those you
[TS]
01:53:42
◼
►
know those things have a performance or
[TS]
01:53:43
◼
►
bread yes they do have a performance
[TS]
01:53:44
◼
►
overhead but in the grand scheme of
[TS]
01:53:46
◼
►
things it's much better to have a higher
[TS]
01:53:47
◼
►
level construct it keeps track of where
[TS]
01:53:49
◼
►
your files are regardless of their path
[TS]
01:53:50
◼
►
and Coco does have that now and carbon
[TS]
01:53:53
◼
►
had it earlier and so on so forth so
[TS]
01:53:55
◼
►
that was bad advice but in general the
[TS]
01:53:58
◼
►
things he was recommending were like he
[TS]
01:54:00
◼
►
was ahead of everyone else in saying oh
[TS]
01:54:02
◼
►
this is the way things are gonna happen
[TS]
01:54:03
◼
►
this is what its gonna look like in the
[TS]
01:54:04
◼
►
future you should start doing this now
[TS]
01:54:06
◼
►
and Mac Mac developers didn't want to
[TS]
01:54:07
◼
►
hear and I think on the most part it was
[TS]
01:54:11
◼
►
good advice and he was right but there
[TS]
01:54:12
◼
►
are a few things in there under his
[TS]
01:54:14
◼
►
stewardship they were wrong and had long
[TS]
01:54:16
◼
►
lasting effects on the operating system
[TS]
01:54:19
◼
►
like waiting so long to get a good
[TS]
01:54:20
◼
►
construct in Cocoa that keeps track of
[TS]
01:54:23
◼
►
files as well as the old carbon api's
[TS]
01:54:24
◼
►
did was bad and made cocoa applications
[TS]
01:54:26
◼
►
look worse than they should have been in
[TS]
01:54:28
◼
►
the early days of cocoa and it was just
[TS]
01:54:30
◼
►
needlessly antagonistic because he was
[TS]
01:54:32
◼
►
just wrong on that like it you have to
[TS]
01:54:34
◼
►
have an API to keep track of stuff don't
[TS]
01:54:35
◼
►
investigate file-based paths you know
[TS]
01:54:37
◼
►
and c++ now that's come and gone but the
[TS]
01:54:41
◼
►
Apple is of two minds about c++ I would
[TS]
01:54:45
◼
►
say he was mostly right on that one per
[TS]
01:54:48
◼
►
transfer lays rain was much less
[TS]
01:54:49
◼
►
controversial for better or worse the
[TS]
01:54:52
◼
►
decisions that avi made that stuck
[TS]
01:54:54
◼
►
continued when Searle a was there uh you
[TS]
01:54:58
◼
►
know there wasn't any big reversal
[TS]
01:54:59
◼
►
anything like that the big thing that
[TS]
01:55:01
◼
►
I'm going to land at the feet of
[TS]
01:55:03
◼
►
Bertrand is the file system crisis which
[TS]
01:55:06
◼
►
was that hfs+ is old and crappy and they
[TS]
01:55:08
◼
►
need something new and that was
[TS]
01:55:10
◼
►
acknowledged and they were gonna go with
[TS]
01:55:11
◼
►
ZFS but then it didn't work that was you
[TS]
01:55:13
◼
►
know he couldn't it just didn't get that
[TS]
01:55:16
◼
►
done in his in his reign it's something
[TS]
01:55:17
◼
►
that still needs to be done he made a
[TS]
01:55:19
◼
►
good effort at it and just didn't work
[TS]
01:55:21
◼
►
out with a ZFS thing which is a shame
[TS]
01:55:22
◼
►
maybe that was more core OS and not some
[TS]
01:55:24
◼
►
what I think that falls under silliest
[TS]
01:55:26
◼
►
thing but yeah I think that is the if
[TS]
01:55:28
◼
►
you got to say what in general nag was
[TS]
01:55:31
◼
►
tended great
[TS]
01:55:32
◼

under Sir lay you know that was it sort
[TS]
01:55:33
◼

of salad days speaking of past show
[TS]
01:55:35
◼
►
titles uh everything about it got better
[TS]
01:55:38
◼
►
everything about it improved and it was
[TS]
01:55:41
◼
►
all all roses except for the file system
[TS]
01:55:43
◼
►
thing which just didn't get solved and
[TS]
01:55:45
◼
►
still not solved Cora storage helps but
[TS]
01:55:48
◼
►
it's not a new file system um is a
[TS]
01:55:51
◼

little thing I putting the show it's
[TS]
01:55:52
◼

from o malli' qoran Malachi like to say

if someone who needs to prove himself he

is not a decisive his Forrestal not as
[TS]
01:56:21

decisive end divisive is forestall so
[TS]
01:56:22
◼

you know by many accounts Forrestal like
[TS]
01:56:27
◼

jobs i can imagine had many adherence
[TS]
01:56:29
◼

within the company who are very devoted
[TS]
01:56:30
◼

to him and now they've had their leader
[TS]
01:56:32
◼

taken from them violently like he didn't
[TS]
01:56:34
◼

leave on his own they fired him those
[TS]
01:56:36
◼

people are cranky and craig federighi
[TS]
01:56:38
◼

the guy who used to just be in charge of
[TS]
01:56:39
◼

mac OS 10 is now in charge of both mac
[TS]
01:56:41
◼

OS 10 and iOS things gonna oh here's
[TS]
01:56:43
◼

your new daddy iOS developers and sis
[TS]
01:56:45
◼
►
federighi you might not even know and i
[TS]
01:56:47
◼
►
can imagine him having a little bit of
[TS]
01:56:48
◼
►
uphill battle to get buy-in from all
[TS]
01:56:50
◼
►
those guys especially the guys who were
[TS]
01:56:51
◼
►
forced all forestall loyalists uh but
[TS]
01:56:56
◼
►
overall I'm very optimistic about him
[TS]
01:56:58
◼
►
particularly because for tron gives him
[TS]
01:57:01
◼
►
the thumbs up uh he seems he seems like
[TS]
01:57:05
◼
►
a great mix of avi and Bertrand where
[TS]
01:57:07
◼
►
avi was very sort of opinionated and
[TS]
01:57:10
◼
►
very rooted in the way next did things
[TS]
01:57:13
◼
►
was the right way to do things so maybe
[TS]
01:57:14
◼
►
he was you know he he saw farther than
[TS]
01:57:16
◼
►
Mac developers but he didn't see far
[TS]
01:57:18
◼
►
enough he didn't he didn't he didn't
[TS]
01:57:21
◼

recognize the way competing was going in
[TS]
01:57:22
◼
►
the future and you know made some bad
[TS]
01:57:25
◼
►
decisions early on that didn't really
[TS]
01:57:28
◼
►
hurt the operating system that much but
[TS]
01:57:29
◼

they are kind of a shame because it was
[TS]
01:57:30
◼
►
the first guy in right sir leigh was
[TS]
01:57:32
◼
►
much more pragmatic and really just
[TS]
01:57:34
◼
►
presided over the greatest development
[TS]
01:57:36
◼

of mac OS 10 brought it from this little
[TS]
01:57:38
◼

operating system was slow and ugly or
[TS]
01:57:40
◼
►
whatever into this awesome thing that we
[TS]
01:57:41
◼

all love and federighi took over that
[TS]
01:57:45
◼
►
ship and
[TS]
01:57:45
◼
►
seems like he was it's hard to tell how
[TS]
01:57:47
◼
►
much influence the Forrestal aesthetic
[TS]
01:57:49
◼
►
had on him because federighi has been in
[TS]
01:57:52
◼
►
charge during the time when maca was
[TS]
01:57:53
◼
►
tennis in suddenly sprouting leather and
[TS]
01:57:55
◼
►
crap how much does that is him and how
[TS]
01:57:57
◼
►
much is that is just him not resisting
[TS]
01:57:59
◼
►
those things or whatever but now he's in
[TS]
01:58:01
◼
►
charge of both os's and certainly him
[TS]
01:58:04
◼
►
combined with I've will be able to now
[TS]
01:58:07
◼
►
say whatever comes out in 10 point 9 and
[TS]
01:58:09
◼
►
10 point 10 and iOS 7 now we'll have an
[TS]
01:58:11
◼
►
angle on both of their tastes
[TS]
01:58:12
◼
►
technically speaking federighi still has
[TS]
01:58:14
◼

the file system thing to deal with Korra
[TS]
01:58:17
◼
►
storage views and drive all good things
[TS]
01:58:18
◼

hm s+ still not a good thing still still
[TS]
01:58:21
◼

a problem that is his probably his major
[TS]
01:58:25
◼
►
technical challenge that in continuing
[TS]
01:58:28
◼

to morph OS 10 to have all the great
[TS]
01:58:30
◼

qualities that iOS has in terms of
[TS]
01:58:32
◼
►
performance and everything uh so I'm
[TS]
01:58:35
◼

pretty optimistic but I federighi but he
[TS]
01:58:37
◼
►
he he I think he does has proved himself
[TS]
01:58:39
◼
►
and finally yes that's gonna nother long

hardware you to the max over now
[TS]
01:59:48

hardware did get kind of unified during

jon rubinstein and mansfield himself and
[TS]
01:59:52
◼

I started to consolidate that but it was

never like it is now where it's like
[TS]
01:59:55
◼

both their operating systems one guy in

that and one guy in charge of all

wireless iron met
[TS]

it would be like the wireless so the

02:00:01

iphones got a team and the wireless for
[TS]
02:00:03
◼

the max have attainment so on and so
[TS]
02:00:04

forth so they're unifying this all right
[TS]
02:00:06
◼

and why that's called technologies who
[TS]
02:00:09
◼

knows the next part says this
[TS]
02:00:11
◼

organization will also include the
[TS]
02:00:13
◼

semiconductor teams who have ambitious
[TS]
02:00:14
◼

plans for the future now it gets more
[TS]
02:00:16

interesting because semiconductor stuff
[TS]
02:00:19
◼

interesting things have been happening
[TS]
02:00:20
◼

in Apple lately about that like they
[TS]
02:00:21
◼

bought p i semi and intrinsic a ms that
[TS]
02:00:24
◼
►
people in like the GPU stuff and the
[TS]
02:00:27
◼
►
fruits of that came out with basically a
[TS]
02:00:28
◼
►
six which appears to be a custom design
[TS]
02:00:31
◼
►
hand laid out processor that seems to
[TS]
02:00:34
◼
►
give apple an edge in terms of power
[TS]
02:00:36
◼

consumption and performance and they're
[TS]
02:00:38
◼
►
using it in their products and that bill
[TS]
02:00:40
◼
►
that's like the fruits of their of their
[TS]
02:00:42
◼
►
labor there versus just licensing an arm
[TS]
02:00:45
◼
►
core and then paying someone to
[TS]
02:00:46
◼
►
integrate it with a bunch of other
[TS]
02:00:47
◼
►
pieces and make a system-on-a-chip and
[TS]
02:00:48
◼

stuff like that what could their
[TS]
02:00:50
◼
►
ambitious plans be the first thing that
[TS]
02:00:52
◼
►
sprung to mind for me was not mobile
[TS]
02:00:55
◼
►
making their own mobile cpus because
[TS]
02:00:57
◼
►
they're already kind of doing that it
[TS]
02:00:58
◼
►
was he's in charge of all wireless and
[TS]
02:01:00
◼
►
he's in charge of semiconductor and they
[TS]
02:01:01
◼
►
have ambitious plans maybe I belongs to
[TS]
02:01:03
◼
►
start making some wireless chips like
[TS]
02:01:05
◼
►
instead of using Qualcomm and Broadcom
[TS]
02:01:07
◼
►
chips I don't see a competitive
[TS]
02:01:09
◼
►
advantage to that unless like they feel
[TS]
02:01:11
◼
►
like they're sad that they couldn't do
[TS]
02:01:12
◼
►
LTE a year ago because the chips took
[TS]
02:01:15
◼
►
too much powering like boy if we made
[TS]
02:01:16
◼
►
our own wireless chips we wouldn't have
[TS]
02:01:18
◼
►
had to wait one more embarrassing year
[TS]
02:01:20
◼
►
with just 3g before we could come out
[TS]
02:01:22
◼
►
with the LTE you know iphone 5 maybe
[TS]
02:01:26
◼
►
that's that could you know i mean what
[TS]
02:01:29
◼
►
what ambitious stuff are you gonna do
[TS]
02:01:30
◼
►
with silicon I don't think they're gonna
[TS]
02:01:32
◼
►
start making their own desktop CPUs but
[TS]
02:01:34
◼
►
that certainly would be ambitious
[TS]
02:01:35
◼
►
wouldn't it and they're already like so
[TS]
02:01:39
◼
►
they're already practically making their
[TS]
02:01:40
◼
►
own mobile CPUs that are gonna make
[TS]
02:01:41
◼
►
their own GPU cores to add in there I
[TS]
02:01:43
◼
►
don't know like I this his future and
[TS]
02:01:47
◼
►
his group is the most mysterious to
[TS]
02:01:49
◼
►
maybe my optimistic thing I can say
[TS]
02:01:51
◼
►
about it is like this maybe we can
[TS]
02:01:53
◼
►
finally get 3g on max or cellular data
[TS]
02:01:55
◼
►
on max please now it's all under one
[TS]
02:01:57
◼
►
roof can we do that because everyone
[TS]
02:01:59
◼
►
wants who doesn't want a macbook air
[TS]
02:02:02
◼
►
with the cellular data like everyone
[TS]
02:02:05
◼
►
would raise their hand anyone who wants
[TS]
02:02:06
◼
►
a macbook air or at least like that is
[TS]
02:02:08
◼
►
an option so if that can be made to
[TS]
02:02:10
◼
►
happen I would be happy and I think
[TS]
02:02:13
◼
►
Apple ish
[TS]
02:02:14
◼
►
own that when they make their own
[TS]
02:02:15
◼

silicone it it doesn't suck right the a
[TS]
02:02:19
◼

sex is good thumbs up again I'm not
[TS]
02:02:21

recommending they try to compete with

02:02:23
◼

Intel until they have their own you know
[TS]
02:02:24
◼
►
fab that's a generation ahead of
[TS]
02:02:26
◼
►
everyone else like in told us but
[TS]
02:02:28
◼
►
apparently this group wants to do more
[TS]
02:02:30
◼
►
with silicone and and wireless and
[TS]
02:02:32
◼
►
something so that's mysterious but
[TS]
02:02:34
◼
►
apparently Bob Mansfield was good
[TS]
02:02:36
◼
►
according to Tim Cook and he wanted him
[TS]
02:02:38
◼
►
back they got him back they gave him
[TS]
02:02:40
◼
►
something to do and and now we wait so
[TS]
02:02:44
◼
►
there you have it the Tim Cook era
[TS]
02:02:46
◼
►
begins ushered in if you will well kind
[TS]
02:02:51
◼
►
of shambled shielded I came onto the

about the future and about the the new
[TS]
02:03:02
◼
►
Tim Cook the new Tim Cook in the new
[TS]
02:03:04
◼
►
Apple in some respects I'm I i think
[TS]
02:03:07
◼
►
that like that between the time he took
[TS]
02:03:10
◼
►
over and now a lot of that seems like
[TS]
02:03:12
◼
►
not wasted time wasted opportunity
[TS]
02:03:15
◼
►
because many people point out if you
[TS]
02:03:16
◼
►
look at how Apple the company has done
[TS]
02:03:18
◼
►
during that year it's phenomenal like if
[TS]
02:03:21
◼

anything if you were looking like their

he was holding them back the company
[TS]
02:03:27
◼
►
making more money than ever which
[TS]
02:03:28
◼
►
totally goes to Tim Cook strength as
[TS]
02:03:30
◼
►
like an operations guy and a bean
[TS]
02:03:32
◼
►
counter in or whatever and he sure did
[TS]
02:03:34
◼
►
that great but looking at the products
[TS]
02:03:36
◼

that came out of apples and steve job
[TS]
02:03:37

was gone there's some great thing is

mobileme and that mess kind of went

02:04:13
◼

apples institutional unawareness of

server side but yeah it's kind of it's

the future but at the same time had the

past year or so
