00:01:15 ◼   ► to the other two to say it's very kind of you and we really appreciate it [TS]

00:01:20 ◼   ► we also got a lot of feedback about how many external displays modern max can [TS]

00:01:29 ◼   ► drive and I don't we got this from several different people but I think [TS]

00:01:34 ◼   ► just moments ago we got a pretty good summary John do you wanna go over that I [TS]

00:01:42 ◼   ► wanted to come in and say that they have [TS]

00:01:45 ◼   ► have a MacBook Pro and that they have more than two external displays on it [TS]

00:01:48 ◼   ► some people are sending us pictures of their set up some people are confused [TS]

00:01:53 ◼   ► about which MacBook Pro we're talking about it last [TS]

00:01:56 ◼   ► feedback regret the most recent models but even among those people they sent [TS]

00:02:00 ◼   ► here I but the most recent model and here it is but you no more than two [TS]

00:02:04 ◼   ► external displays what's up with that and so of course if you go to the [TS]

00:02:09 ◼   ► MacBook Pro specs page at apple.com for both the 13 inch of a dancer says talk [TS]

00:02:15 ◼   ► about their external display capabilities in a says up to two [TS]

00:02:18 ◼   ► external displays up to two external displays for both of them so what's the [TS]

00:02:22 ◼   ► deal here and Nathan Anderson is not the only person to send information but it [TS]

00:02:27 ◼   ► happened to come in late breaking into his reasonable summary that deal as far [TS]

00:02:31 ◼   ► as I can tell based on all the people who sent in both their pictures and [TS]

00:02:34 ◼   ► their information is that if you have a 13 inch MacBook Pro you can only do to [TS]

00:02:41 ◼   ► extremist players if you have a fifteen-inch you can do more than two of [TS]

00:02:45 ◼   ► you have the discrete graphics with Nvidia chip and only two if you have the [TS]

00:02:50 ◼   ► integrated graphics and there's some strangeness about past models could or [TS]

00:02:58 ◼   ► couldn't do integrated so it seems like me the apples pages giving a [TS]

00:03:02 ◼   ► conservative answer if you read that and think you can only use to external [TS]

00:03:05 ◼   ► displays you happen to get on with discrete graphics and you can do more [TS]

00:03:08 ◼   ► than to be pleasantly surprised but he'll never be disappointed because the [TS]

00:03:12 ◼   ► upper to external displays is true for all the models and if you can do more [TS]

00:03:15 ◼   ► and maybe it's not even officially supported according to Apple but it does [TS]

00:03:18 ◼   ► work so here we go for all the people who wrote in you know you're not crazy [TS]

00:03:23 ◼   ► your particular model may be able to do more than two but it is apparently a [TS]

00:03:28 ◼   ► variation that Apple does not consider important enough to delineate on their [TS]

00:03:32 ◼   ► customer-facing spec page also let me just how amazing this is because it was [TS]

00:03:38 ◼   ► only a few years ago when if you want to have more than one extra display so more [TS]

00:03:44 ◼   ► than two displays total you had to have a Mac Pro and usually with more than one [TS]

00:03:49 ◼   ► video card [TS]

00:03:50 ◼   ► this is pretty amazing that ever since I believe injection of thunder but I don't [TS]

00:03:55 ◼   ► think the me too many DisplayPort line could detain them if that's great but [TS]

00:03:59 ◼   ► it's only very very recent since the era of the new book on the MacBook MacBook [TS]

00:04:04 ◼   ► and MacBook Pros that you can have more than one extra monitor hooked up and [TS]

00:04:08 ◼   ► that's pretty amazing progress man could definitely have the external monitor we [TS]

00:04:17 ◼   ► have some people at work who are trying to do like six external monitors and [TS]

00:04:21 ◼   ► they were reaching I'm not sure which limits to reaching basically many of the [TS]

00:04:25 ◼   ► people sit around had reached the limit of what their their machines can do I'll [TS]

00:04:30 ◼   ► provide either physically speaking or for a GPU eyes and it is comical to see [TS]

00:04:35 ◼   ► where the limits are a little tiny machine with this huge array of displays [TS]

00:04:39 ◼   ► on his crazy arm that but maybe five or six things and what's what's attached [TS]

00:04:44 ◼   ► that jane rest at a little laptop yeah I mean I think I think the actual limited [TS]

00:04:49 ◼   ► display is there is like sanity desk space / arm capacity in external [TS]

00:04:56 ◼   ► monitors are are kind of like cats like you know most people should have between [TS]

00:05:00 ◼   ► 0 and one and you know it's really really easy once you have more than one [TS]

00:05:05 ◼   ► to go what's one more I could you know have all the texts refer at my house [TS]

00:05:09 ◼   ► like they're like there's some people like no number of monitors is enough for [TS]

00:05:15 ◼   ► them and because they haven't adopted a system like yours john we're like they [TS]

00:05:18 ◼   ► have some way to manage lots of windows on whatever space they're given know [TS]

00:05:22 ◼   ► they need more space and they always need more space and like oh I have 2 [TS]

00:05:27 ◼   ► wideout three other men monitors are pretty cheap these days when added two [TS]

00:05:31 ◼   ► more and let's get a double decker arm now we can have eight and it just never [TS]

00:05:35 ◼   ► enough then all of a sudden F fifteen cats and was like that the physical [TS]

00:05:38 ◼   ► incarnation of spaces there like I'm 1911 monitor for a text editor that will [TS]

00:05:45 ◼   ► be in portrait but only ever had one document open at once because I used by [TS]

00:05:48 ◼   ► Andrea launched every time on a data file [TS]

00:05:50 ◼   ► and one monitor open for like my phone went and like the opportunity does not [TS]

00:05:55 ◼   ► exist and if I need to have another window open I need another monitor now [TS]

00:05:58 ◼   ► because everything is all I know is I kind of I want to rig I would never do [TS]

00:06:07 ◼   ► it but i wanna rig that's like six monitor still wall of monitors in front [TS]

00:06:11 ◼   ► of me I would get lost in it but it sounds awesome you'll never find your [TS]

00:06:14 ◼   ► cursor let me tell you people have that at work you can never find your car show [TS]

00:06:17 ◼   ► you how to turn the giant cursor mode that my mom uses what was the setup that [TS]

00:06:22 ◼   ► that really nerdy guy in his boy used like a chair that was reclined in like [TS]

00:06:28 ◼   ► two or three monitors pitch down at him or something like that got him to watch [TS]

00:06:33 ◼   ► that movie again you will see that that sounds like a back problem and now trust [TS]

00:06:37 ◼   ► me it was like this whole pod thing that the dude hadn t seen Grandma's Boy John [TS]

00:06:41 ◼   ► you know I'm talking about I do not know which documents although I've seen [TS]

00:06:45 ◼   ► people I can picture the arrangement you're you're describing the pictures on [TS]

00:06:49 ◼   ► the internet if similar arrangements of people that are reclining and having [TS]

00:06:52 ◼   ► monitors suspended above the knee or the reverse where the money is a blow them [TS]

00:06:56 ◼   ► in their face down on a good economically speaking probably does this [TS]

00:07:01 ◼   ► count as the reference that I made that you didn't get I think so [TS]

00:07:05 ◼   ► admittedly is a very shaky and poor reference but well I mean is it [TS]

00:07:09 ◼   ► something that you had an expectation that I would get us a staple of pop [TS]

00:07:12 ◼   ► culture oh boy are you kidding it's a wonderful movie about computer geeks you [TS]

00:07:18 ◼   ► say so I'm gonna count that as a win and Casey column anyway we should probably [TS]

00:07:23 ◼   ► move on and speaking of movies and video John wanted to tell us about [TS]

00:07:27 ◼   ► with your whole scrubber conundrum yep talked about that last week at the [TS]

00:07:31 ◼   ► streaming television boxes in my big complaint aside from the video not [TS]

00:07:36 ◼   ► playing at all is that TV streaming television stations none of them do [TS]

00:07:40 ◼   ► moving around in the content and a reliable manner and I compared it to [TS]

00:07:46 ◼   ► YouTube web browser which sometimes is weird flaky in html5 player may or may [TS]

00:07:51 ◼   ► not be playing nicely with your browser but there's a little scrubber thing we [TS]

00:07:54 ◼   ► can you know little circular hand on the timeline he could move to different [TS]

00:07:57 ◼   ► positions and the video moves around eventually and any streaming television [TS]

00:08:02 ◼   ► boxes very frequently attempting to do anything with your position other than [TS]

00:08:06 ◼   ► play at what speed now he doesn't work as a result in a series of spinners are [TS]

00:08:11 ◼   ► blank screens but can very often lose your place and then your check back to [TS]

00:08:15 ◼   ► the beginning this happens by the way the worst case scenario is this your [TS]

00:08:18 ◼   ► children are on the couch watching a movie there 30 or 40 minutes in one of [TS]

00:08:22 ◼   ► them actually sits on part of the remote potential because they have to get out [TS]

00:08:27 ◼   ► of luck in there was still plenty of the TV it starts to fast-forward or rewind [TS]

00:08:31 ◼   ► or or do something we do one of those those actions and that throws things [TS]

00:08:35 ◼   ► into a tizzy and then you try to deposit it play again but maybe the baby is gone [TS]

00:08:39 ◼   ► too far forward or back or something and just lose place and now your kid is a [TS]

00:08:44 ◼   ► maybe they want the movie to resume playing where was but you're back at the [TS]

00:08:48 ◼   ► beginning of the movie and you can get to where they were even if you know the [TS]

00:08:51 ◼   ► exact time stamp because hey how would you get there you would have to remove [TS]

00:08:55 ◼   ► the scrubber essentially to that position and you have no way of doing [TS]

00:08:58 ◼   ► that because password doesn't work it just you know there's no jump is no [TS]

00:09:01 ◼   ► whatever it so this does not identify with me just emphasize that like I'm not [TS]

00:09:07 ◼   ► asking for let me smoothly scan through while seeing the video go by really fast [TS]

00:09:13 ◼   ► like the equivalent of video smart speed like I understand is there something [TS]

00:09:15 ◼   ► transcoding down there is only you can just magically slide forward and [TS]

00:09:21 ◼   ► backward in time while seeing the video flash before your eyes and variable [TS]

00:09:25 ◼   ► rates of speed when the video is actually being transcode on the fly by [TS]

00:09:28 ◼   ► some weak CPU and [TS]

00:09:29 ◼   ► nasa your basement or something right the minimum I'm asking for is one don't [TS]

00:09:35 ◼   ► lose my place no matter what I do and to give me the ability to in sort of [TS]

00:09:40 ◼   ► QuickTime Player parlance are you two pounds [TS]

00:09:43 ◼   ► move described her to an arbitrary position and start playing from there I [TS]

00:09:47 ◼   ► don't see anything that happens make this me entirely black in fact that [TS]

00:09:50 ◼   ► prefer that I hate it when I can't move the little screw everything both the [TS]

00:09:54 ◼   ► desktop an honest review box where it says no no no no you can't you can't [TS]

00:09:58 ◼   ► move that thing you have to wait for me due to load some are thumbnails our [TS]

00:10:02 ◼   ► streams of content and transcode things like just stop stop the video entirely [TS]

00:10:06 ◼   ► I'm gonna move the scrubber to position it's going to change the time stamp on [TS]

00:10:10 ◼   ► the corner [TS]

00:10:11 ◼   ► change the time stamp by all means as I move discover round when I'm done I say [TS]

00:10:15 ◼   ► now try to start playing from thirty minutes and 42 seconds now you can [TS]

00:10:19 ◼   ► resume whatever it is you're doing and and and and people run and tell you all [TS]

00:10:22 ◼   ► you understand but be friends and h264 symbolic I understand that this was also [TS]

00:10:28 ◼   ► difficult but this i think is the minimum bar for any device that plays [TS]

00:10:32 ◼   ► video don't lose my place and give me some way to start an arbitrary location [TS]

00:10:36 ◼   ► anything above and beyond that you wanna do find do whatever it is you have to do [TS]

00:10:41 ◼   ► to make that happen [TS]

00:10:42 ◼   ► free scan all the movies to find offsets find the closest offset to the thing [TS]

00:10:46 ◼   ► that I picked and try to play from there and only show the picture once you get [TS]

00:10:49 ◼   ► into it like whatever you do do it but I just want emphasized that I'm not asking [TS]

00:10:53 ◼   ► for the magic ability to see the video fly past my eyes it fast and slow speeds [TS]

00:10:59 ◼   ► because I understand it's very difficult course that would be nice and I'm hoping [TS]

00:11:01 ◼   ► that will happen someday but we're very far from that now fair enough [TS]

00:11:07 ◼   ► right well in how about the Koenigsegg and the odd model name that none of us [TS]

00:11:13 ◼   ► can figure out how you pronounce it yet apparently it's it's like we mentioned [TS]

00:11:17 ◼   ► it like the ratio 1 partial power to one kilogram or whatever but the name ont [TS]

00:11:22 ◼   ► colon and numeral one is pronounced 121 it's not 11 although I like 11 better [TS]

00:11:27 ◼   ► but anyway people want to know if you are considering buying what is 2.4 [TS]

00:11:32 ◼   ► million three million dollar hypercar it's called the 121 not the one [TS]

00:11:37 ◼   ► one that just sounds like going to visit a psychiatrist's office or something [TS]

00:11:41 ◼   ► like that let's have a one to 10 2011 2010 ones at work I don't think we call [TS]

00:11:46 ◼   ► them that but yes I do have a meeting with check the parking lot [TS]

00:11:50 ◼   ► Marco it's so hard to be retired isn't it but yeah we have meetings with our [TS]

00:11:56 ◼   ► immediate supervisors which we which we call personal development something PDP [TS]

00:12:01 ◼   ► personnel and planning something like that that's worse that sounds awful know [TS]

00:12:05 ◼   ► it sufficiently corporate speak which is funny because our company is all about [TS]

00:12:08 ◼   ► 70 people or something like that but he yep that's a thing [TS]

00:12:13 ◼   ► PowerPC Macs and x86 hardware compatibility 11 percent over the story [TS]

00:12:19 ◼   ► that I thought was funny we're talking about the the rarity of these Macs that [TS]

00:12:22 ◼   ► had x86 hardware in them and they were indeed rare and Martin Road in to tell [TS]

00:12:27 ◼   ► us about his experience but these things he had a set of the forget which model [TS]

00:12:32 ◼   ► was but it's the 6100 cases the first to like to use this case you guys look at [TS]

00:12:38 ◼   ► the picture that I like they're in the shower it was the pizza box mac very [TS]

00:12:42 ◼   ► wide to very low optical drive in the middle floppy drive on the right and the [TS]

00:12:48 ◼   ► hard drive on the last and they had a bunch of people who were PC users [TS]

00:12:53 ◼   ► essentially using these because they sold the very end of this with a [TS]

00:12:57 ◼   ► different model number that had 46 insider maybe with a Pentium anyways I'm [TS]

00:13:03 ◼   ► x86 chip inside it and they had a problem when these PC users but use [TS]

00:13:07 ◼   ► these machines and you if you read this feedback you probably didn't spoil the [TS]

00:13:11 ◼   ► surprise but if you haven't read the feedback Marco perhaps take a look at [TS]

00:13:15 ◼   ► the picture and tell me the show was rigged to a baby shower together [TS]

00:13:21 ◼   ► looking at his picture 1 but problem my PC users have with this Mac as soon as I [TS]

00:13:25 ◼   ► saw the picture I didn't actually make it to the to the rest of the feedback to [TS]

00:13:30 ◼   ► see why the picture was being cited and the moment I saw the picture I knew [TS]

00:13:34 ◼   ► exactly where this feedback was going so I know people remember this is this just [TS]

00:13:39 ◼   ► so long ago the big thing for the Mac platform was that it had auto inject an [TS]

00:13:45 ◼   ► auto eject floppy drives hardware wise so auto injector meant that when you [TS]

00:13:50 ◼   ► push the floppy disk in a certain point the mechanism would like something out [TS]

00:13:54 ◼   ► of your hand and see it and auto eject means that the ejection was done by but [TS]

00:14:01 ◼   ► initiated by the drive itself and in the operating system and the ejection be [TS]

00:14:05 ◼   ► triggered by the wonderfully intuitive to PC users activity of dragging the [TS]

00:14:11 ◼   ► disc that had all the important files on it to the trash that was a short but you [TS]

00:14:15 ◼   ► can also select additions like the jack from the File menu which was totally [TS]

00:14:17 ◼   ► interred anyway yes you would initiate the the unmount essentially from the OS [TS]

00:14:23 ◼   ► and unlike PCs were you good eject the disc at any time by pressing a button [TS]

00:14:28 ◼   ► next to the thing and you know the OS might complain if you did that if you [TS]

00:14:32 ◼   ► did it when the light was blinking then you may have heard at all sorts of other [TS]

00:14:35 ◼   ► things that relied on the user to sort of know when it's safe to eject the disc [TS]

00:14:39 ◼   ► the Mac operating system goes to control over magic media and and you aren't [TS]

00:14:43 ◼   ► involved in the process of ejecting the disc from a hardware perspective [TS]

00:14:46 ◼   ► software respected you on man to the desk in the active on mounting it also [TS]

00:14:50 ◼   ► rejected because the mechanisms all have the ability two centuries back at you so [TS]

00:14:54 ◼   ► when PC users use this Mac they would see the floppy drive to stick the disc [TS]

00:15:00 ◼   ► in and maybe they didn't notice the auto injector might've been gone by then I [TS]

00:15:04 ◼   ► don't know anyone and they do their thing both right and when they were done [TS]

00:15:08 ◼   ► with their desk they would do it all PCs years do as I guess look at look at the [TS]

00:15:12 ◼   ► drive to see if any blinking lights near it is no blinking lights press the [TS]

00:15:15 ◼   ► button to eject the disc unfortunately on this pizza box mac the button that [TS]

00:15:20 ◼   ► was in the lower right corner below the floppy drive was not a disconnect fun [TS]

00:15:25 ◼   ► there is no disconnect but another [TS]

00:15:26 ◼   ► tiny hole you can see there were you stick a paperclip to get it out when the [TS]

00:15:30 ◼   ► thing freezes it was the power button to the entire machine so everybody when [TS]

00:15:33 ◼   ► they were done and want to check their floppy disk and press the power button [TS]

00:15:36 ◼   ► machine tournament I machine oh nice which must have been hilarious but still [TS]

00:15:41 ◼   ► in PC users at the time defense which I was one if you look at this machine the [TS]

00:15:47 ◼   ► CD ROM Drive immediately adjacent to this has a physical eject button so it [TS]

00:15:52 ◼   ► looks like two drives side-by-side with each with an eject button if you're [TS]

00:15:59 ◼   ► coming from though the paradigm it does make sense although I mean there is a [TS]

00:16:01 ◼   ► giant power symbol on the paradigm separate separately from the paradigm [TS]

00:16:05 ◼   ► this is like a consistency design flaw which is that there is an eject button [TS]

00:16:10 ◼   ► right next to it in in the spot you'd expect and so it looks like here you [TS]

00:16:14 ◼   ► don't hear the whole four disks here the whole floppies here the eject button [TS]

00:16:17 ◼   ► from here the check button for puppies they're very differently sized ones Mike [TS]

00:16:22 ◼   ► said one of the police believe you press the if you press the optical drive but [TS]

00:16:27 ◼   ► it wouldn't actually inject because they believe the operating system had control [TS]

00:16:31 ◼   ► over it is this it IT hardware eject button on the optical drives on my Mac [TS]

00:16:35 ◼   ► Pro two you just have to slide open a little guilty indoors and Chevy little [TS]

00:16:38 ◼   ► finger and you can fuck yeah they also don't work on you know until the USA [TS]

00:16:44 ◼   ► checked it but still i mean you're saying this is a problem with PC users [TS]

00:16:49 ◼   ► I'm saying this is a very confusing designed for everybody [TS]

00:16:53 ◼   ► well it wasn't wasn't confusing for Mac users it's a parent and things like do [TS]

00:16:56 ◼   ► you think the operating system has control over floppy disks or do you [TS]

00:17:00 ◼   ► think in the user has control over it and the right answers to have the OS [TS]

00:17:04 ◼   ► have control over but if you come from the other thing where would you think [TS]

00:17:06 ◼   ► the user has control over and you're looking for a button and you can get [TS]

00:17:09 ◼   ► whatever but you find and that's the only buttons remotely near there so [TS]

00:17:12 ◼   ► that's the one you go ahead and the new gonna be said the right answer is floppy [TS]

00:17:16 ◼   ► disks are always awful and we're so clever pass them anything with [TS]

00:17:21 ◼   ► even even thumb drives now I feel like we have the same exact problem we [TS]

00:17:25 ◼   ► haven't gotten rid of it people stick a thumb drive into computer [TS]

00:51:24 ◼   ► the three of us with a few other people and Steve Hackett said to us it seems [TS]

00:51:31 ◼   ► like a lot of the reviews are kinda disappointed a little bit especially [TS]

00:51:35 ◼   ► about performance in he had said and I agree we should have seen that coming [TS]

00:51:40 ◼   ► but it still feels a little bit surprising that that's the that's to me [TS]

00:51:46 ◼   ► like the most worrisome but also unsurprising part because I'm you know [TS]

00:51:52 ◼   ► I'm all excited as everyone else's you know which one do I get and I guess [TS]

00:51:55 ◼   ► we'll talk about that but like you know I want to get some is to be really [TS]

00:52:00 ◼   ► awesome and if I'm going to get like a nice steal one edition but if I can I [TS]

00:52:05 ◼   ► steal one [TS]

00:52:06 ◼   ► maybe the link really wanna kill you no good I said hi and on that I would [TS]

00:52:10 ◼   ► really want it to be like an amazing thing and it it sounds like the other [TS]

00:52:15 ◼   ► reviews its a first generation device and you really shouldn't be surprised by [TS]

00:52:19 ◼   ► that but it's a first generation device and especially the things that that [TS]

00:52:23 ◼   ► caught up to me that I really noticed not only does everybody say it's a [TS]

00:52:27 ◼   ► little bit slow sometimes which which is certainly disappointing but you can see [TS]

00:52:32 ◼   ► in some of the videos and one of the reviews I forget which one it might have [TS]

00:52:36 ◼   ► been a lie and he was one of the review said that you can you can see the air [TS]

00:52:41 ◼   ► gap between the screen and the cover glass or the cover sapphire and I saw [TS]

00:52:47 ◼   ► one of the videos too and it's it's very clear like you can see the rectangle [TS]

00:52:52 ◼   ► outline of the actual screen inside that nice big flat black top and it does kind [TS]

00:52:57 ◼   ► of ruined the illusion of his being like one seamless thing and I look at things [TS]

00:53:02 ◼   ► like that if it like that the the screen air gap being visible and and the [TS]

00:53:07 ◼   ► slowness people are talking about and i know i kno also for the slowness thing [TS]

00:53:11 ◼   ► you know watch kidnaps you know you can see even in the simulator on watch [TS]

00:53:17 ◼   ► kidnaps you can see that there's like some inherent lag in this process of [TS]

00:53:21 ◼   ► like kind of throwing the interface from the phone to the watch over Bluetooth [TS]

00:53:25 ◼   ► but just how much could actually work that's probably going to be sluggish too [TS]

00:53:29 ◼   ► and so it seems like there's there's a theme of this is a really cool device [TS]

00:53:35 ◼   ► with some really cool features however it's a little bit slow sometimes watch [TS]

00:53:38 ◼   ► caps a little bit slow and there's a couple of looking a little niggling [TS]

00:53:42 ◼   ► points like you know like that late the visible air gap on the display so I see [TS]

00:53:47 ◼   ► all these things that I think obviously you know its speed and display [TS]

00:53:52 ◼   ► elimination these are the kind of things that Apple always improves over time and [TS]

00:53:56 ◼   ► so I I know that version two is gonna come out and be significantly better in [TS]

00:54:02 ◼   ► some of these areas that's what always happens probably only a year from now [TS]

00:54:06 ◼   ► it's going to be that far from now and think to it the hard way so we we've all [TS]

00:54:11 ◼   ► heard the same rumors I think the rumors that said that this was supposed to come [TS]

00:54:15 ◼   ► out last fall [TS]

00:54:17 ◼   ► so we're kinda like six months later then if that's accurate nearly six [TS]

00:54:22 ◼   ► months late I'm rely on average number of these when it was shown to the public [TS]

00:54:25 ◼   ► last fall it sure looked at the hardware is pretty much done [TS]

00:54:29 ◼   ► yeah it's it seemed like the software was probably what was holding up all [TS]

00:54:33 ◼   ► this time and that's you know as we know from engineering that's that's way more [TS]

00:54:37 ◼   ► likely to be the case then the other way around it seems like this is definitely [TS]

00:54:40 ◼   ► like the hardware is fine the software needed more time right not not a big [TS]

00:54:44 ◼   ► surprise so I kind of think that we might be seeing like jet like half [TS]

00:54:49 ◼   ► generation older hardware if if they were going to ship this hardware last [TS]

00:54:54 ◼   ► fall [TS]

00:54:54 ◼   ► originally then what's good what's good what's the harbour gonna be like next [TS]

00:54:59 ◼   ► spring presumably when there is you know Apple watch to wear whatever I feel like [TS]

00:55:03 ◼   ► we're gonna jump ahead even further than we usually do in the first to second [TS]

00:55:07 ◼   ► generation migration because you had after six months rather than jumping [TS]

00:55:12 ◼   ► ahead a year you might jump ahead 18 months that makes sense and he very well [TS]

00:55:18 ◼   ► could be right in [TS]

00:55:19 ◼   ► in John a chance to talk here in a second but one of the things that I was [TS]

00:55:24 ◼   ► really looking forward to once I realized today was embargo day was [TS]

00:55:28 ◼   ► hoping that I could really solidify my plans for what to do because I've talked [TS]

00:55:34 ◼   ► on the show in and on analog about well maybe I'll get one but maybe I won't [TS]

00:55:39 ◼   ► which which typically in my history means I'm absolutely getting one but I [TS]

00:55:44 ◼   ► just haven't convinced myself yet and I gotta tell you after reading these I had [TS]

00:55:49 ◼   ► been hemming and hawing between one because God that $1,100 one looks like [TS]

00:55:56 ◼   ► one hour at least two dozen screen who knows what it's like a real life but on [TS]

00:56:00 ◼   ► screen looks so good inside but I don't flip flopping back and forth back and [TS]

00:56:04 ◼   ► forth in the one thing that I think I've concluded based on all these reviews is [TS]

00:56:08 ◼   ► if I'm gonna do it at all which knowing me I probably will I should definitely [TS]

00:56:12 ◼   ► get a sport because it sounds like I'm gonna want to replace the same here just [TS]

00:56:16 ◼   ► like you were saying Marco [TS]

00:56:17 ◼   ► John yeah I think for both of you are buying and buying when I magnin a lot of [TS]

00:56:23 ◼   ► these early reviews are pushing it pushing them to the sport of saying I [TS]

00:56:27 ◼   ► had all sorts of plans about which one is going to get it was picking and [TS]

00:56:30 ◼   ► choosing with matching things when I read these reviews protect people who [TS]

00:56:33 ◼   ► read 5 reviews of the watch all of them were thinking yeah maybe ok with sport [TS]

00:56:37 ◼   ► and you know if you still want Monica seems like it's cool but it's so clear [TS]

00:56:42 ◼   ► that you're only going to want it for a little while a couple things on the [TS]

00:56:48 ◼   ► water use first is that you choose knowing a lot of people who have had [TS]

00:56:54 ◼   ► interactions with the watch it was nice to see that there's nothing [TS]

00:57:01 ◼   ► unsurprisingly reviews if you know people who have gone to the press events [TS]

00:57:05 ◼   ► whose touch the watches who are you know have experience with everything that was [TS]

00:57:10 ◼   ► in the reviews everything like sort of objective not like how does this fit [TS]

00:57:17 ◼   ► into my life I like how does the device reform and what features does it have [TS]

00:57:20 ◼   ► like we knew that already I think part of that has to do with Apple's big press [TS]

00:57:23 ◼   ► push and the sort of long slow-motion rollout where they just released [TS]

00:57:28 ◼   ► information and you going to the store is a mess with them you can do it like [TS]

00:57:31 ◼   ► it was different then boy known as ever touch one of these things for now gonna [TS]

00:57:35 ◼   ► read about it and learn about all these stories were all kind of on the same [TS]

00:57:38 ◼   ► page in all things that we kind of knew already so it's good to see the one [TS]

00:57:43 ◼   ► aspect that maybe people who aren't in as close touch with people who play with [TS]

00:57:48 ◼   ► the watches have been surprised about the market is mention that there but [TS]

00:57:52 ◼   ► slower than people expected and didn't even see a lot of that even the press [TS]

00:57:55 ◼   ► hands on because it wasn't quite as hands-on as you would expect but the [TS]

00:58:00 ◼   ► fact that it feels sluggish i think is catching people little bit by surprise [TS]

00:58:02 ◼   ► for a couple reasons first that the first iPhone despite like if you go back [TS]

00:58:08 ◼   ► and look at it now actually being more sluggish than say an iPhone 6 it didn't [TS]

00:58:12 ◼   ► feel sluggish because they had removed everything from that the original iPhone [TS]

00:58:17 ◼   ► except for like the bare minimum like the entire phone was concentrating as [TS]

00:58:22 ◼   ► hard as I could on doing whatever it is that you establish your finger [TS]

00:58:24 ◼   ► hardcore it was you know it was like the old Mac menu or yell down then hold down [TS]

00:58:29 ◼   ► the button to pull down menu from the menu bar the entire machines Tisdale [TS]

00:58:33 ◼   ► began really responsive animation when you're scrambling through the menu and [TS]

00:58:37 ◼   ► it was necessary 128 came back just carried over for way too long because [TS]

00:58:40 ◼   ► you can get its act together but that whole idea of like version one of this [TS]

00:58:45 ◼   ► product [TS]

00:58:45 ◼   ► interactivity above all stopped everything else is going on the machine [TS]

00:58:48 ◼   ► just this one thing and then went to watch because the screen is so small and [TS]

00:58:52 ◼   ► peace is a very someone like there is an expectation I think they would do the [TS]

00:58:56 ◼   ► same thing that because it's pushing so few pixels and because the watch does so [TS]

00:59:01 ◼   ► that'll surely there won't be anything can happen to watch that would be [TS]

00:59:04 ◼   ► sluggish I mean why would it but kind of like the you know the iPhone sort of [TS]

00:59:10 ◼   ► pushed back to level a distraction by have incredibly weak hardware the [TS]

00:59:15 ◼   ► hardware in in the watch is pretty darn we can mean people talk about what the [TS]

00:59:19 ◼   ► s1 might be best on which a series chipset might be based on regardless of [TS]

00:59:22 ◼   ► which one is based on it surely under clocked right compared to what it was in [TS]

00:59:26 ◼   ► whatever the top and iPad iPhone that had the same CPU architecture that it is [TS]

00:59:31 ◼   ► a relatively weak CPU and GPU in there and unlike the original iPhone the watch [TS]

00:59:36 ◼   ► has to do all sorts of stuff and that brings me to the second sort of [TS]

00:59:39 ◼   ► realization after reading all these reviews is that I don't think things are [TS]

00:59:44 ◼   ► going to get all that much better for the worst case scenarios of performance [TS]

00:59:48 ◼   ► and people talked about I launched a watch kidnap and I just saw spinner for [TS]

00:59:52 ◼   ► a long time are lots of waiting screens and and a lot of the video reviews you [TS]

00:59:55 ◼   ► get to see the various waiting screens of the various out one shows an [TS]

00:59:59 ◼   ► animation of different modes of transportation when she was a little dot [TS]

01:00:02 ◼   ► spinner when she was just a black screen sometimes this thing doesn't launch at [TS]

01:00:05 ◼   ► all that's an architectural thing we're watching it apps are really iPhone apps [TS]

01:00:10 ◼   ► that are sort of projecting their their interface onto the phone interacting [TS]

01:00:13 ◼   ► back and forth across a wireless connection and there's nothing you can [TS]

01:00:19 ◼   ► really do with either the phone hardware or the watch hardware make them both [TS]

01:00:23 ◼   ► infinitely fast make them both have huge amounts of RAM make them have incredibly [TS]

01:00:26 ◼   ► powerful CPUs and GPUs if you're trying to do some of the remote control [TS]

01:00:31 ◼   ► interface you know you're gonna be constrained by opening and closing [TS]

01:00:36 ◼   ► connection [TS]

01:00:36 ◼   ► communicating over Bluetooth having interference problems caused your phone [TS]

01:00:40 ◼   ► is in your pocket in your pocket align with 10 for like whatever it is you [TS]

01:00:44 ◼   ► can't do that that's like an architectural thing that version 2 of [TS]

01:00:48 ◼   ► the phone is not going to fix that what's going to fix that is native phone [TS]

01:00:50 ◼   ► app then what's going to make it a phone apps more feasible is going to be faster [TS]

01:00:53 ◼   ► harder and more RAM so on and so forth that the problem will fix itself but [TS]

01:00:56 ◼   ► this particular model of doing third-party applications by having the [TS]

01:01:01 ◼   ► projected from the phone onto the watch not literally as a display poster for [TS]

01:01:05 ◼   ► anything but like that whole model of two devices cooperating to to work on [TS]

01:01:09 ◼   ► the UI together that puts kind of a ceiling on how nicely interactive this [TS]

01:01:13 ◼   ► is and then to add insult to injury even on the native apps it seems like in the [TS]

01:01:17 ◼   ► video sometimes a little study with an animation there with the swipe or [TS]

01:01:20 ◼   ► something like that and i dont that can be solved by hardware and software that [TS]

01:01:24 ◼   ► could help I can be resolved by a revision to iOS to to make things [TS]

01:01:28 ◼   ► smoother in the same way that they really hammered on some of the scrolling [TS]

01:01:31 ◼   ► table using the original versions of what was then called iPhone OS for the [TS]

01:01:36 ◼   ► iPhone so I think not only is the version one product definitely kind of [TS]

01:01:41 ◼   ► compromise but like well I guess I was a compromise in in more ways in different [TS]

01:01:48 ◼   ► ways the iPhone the iPhone original iPhone was compromised but had no third [TS]

01:01:52 ◼   ► party apps no multitasking know nothing right and so that was their compromise [TS]

01:01:56 ◼   ► we're going to make the things that we have really responsive in the cameras [TS]

01:01:58 ◼   ► you lose you lose all this functionality to compromise for the watch [TS]

01:02:01 ◼   ► necessarily because of the way it's done and because the way it interacts with [TS]

01:02:04 ◼   ► the iPhone is we can't sacrifice features interactivity we have to add [TS]

01:02:08 ◼   ► apps because it's just like a new week we created the App Store age and I were [TS]

01:02:11 ◼   ► living in it and things got out to be a big problem so you gotta have apps we [TS]

01:02:16 ◼   ► gotta have them in some way if we can't do native apps right away do this we [TS]

01:02:18 ◼   ► watched it [TS]

01:02:19 ◼   ► type thing we've got to have wireless communication and things going on in the [TS]

01:02:24 ◼   ► background because how do you know you tapping on the watch and we have a [TS]

01:02:27 ◼   ► telethon the phone to launch maybe that's not even launching the app we [TS]

01:02:30 ◼   ► have to launch a thing load that code have that code projectors display back [TS]

01:02:33 ◼   ► here and while that's not like that's the that is their baseline functionality [TS]

01:02:38 ◼   ► and involves a lot more things going on at the same time the original iPhone did [TS]

01:02:41 ◼   ► so it's a different set of compromises and I don't think that sluggishness is [TS]

01:02:46 ◼   ► gonna get better until they change and a tornado watch [TS]

01:02:50 ◼   ► apps call me to watch it at the end of watch out to get here until those get [TS]

01:02:56 ◼   ► here and those aren't going to really be great in till the hard ones offers [TS]

01:03:00 ◼   ► advice so I would say wait two or three regions is expected next version to be [TS]

01:03:04 ◼   ► the same physical form factor just maybe with a better CPU and a couple of weeks [TS]

01:03:08 ◼   ► and software tweaks in the third one and that's what you get into something that [TS]

01:03:12 ◼   ► works like they thought the first was good but it's not slamming it like [TS]

01:03:18 ◼   ► that's the true of all of these products right like I don't think anyone is [TS]

01:03:21 ◼   ► shocked by this is when you say that people think you're telling them not to [TS]

01:03:24 ◼   ► buy an Apple watch but like you know that that was true of the first MacBook [TS]

01:03:30 ◼   ► Air and or the first I reckon first retina MacBook Pro for strain iMac like [TS]

01:03:37 ◼   ► that's that's how things work [TS]

01:03:53 ◼   ► flaw here or you know one like a really big problem it just seems like yeah you [TS]

01:03:58 ◼   ► know kind of slow sometimes certain things are that smooth yet you know and [TS]

01:04:01 ◼   ► some of the victims in software as a software matures some of it will just be [TS]

01:04:06 ◼   ► hardware limitation they'll have to buy a new watch for and yeah I guess we'll [TS]

01:04:10 ◼   ► see I agree to like that the whole designer watched it being this Bluetooth [TS]

01:04:14 ◼   ► projection turning the phone back and forth like that is so fragile and and [TS]

01:04:20 ◼   ► complicated and there's so much [TS]

01:04:22 ◼   ► inherent latency and weirdness there that we really do have to wait for [TS]

01:04:26 ◼   ► native watch absurd and it's it's it's worth asking like let's let's suppose [TS]

01:04:33 ◼   ► watched it absolutely don't work very well in reality it seems from the [TS]

01:04:37 ◼   ► reviews that might be the case that you know they might just like one of them I [TS]

01:04:41 ◼   ► think it was until I was really just an excuse how slow they recently you take [TS]

01:04:46 ◼   ► your phone in your pocket and do it on their faster than you could do i watch [TS]

01:04:48 ◼   ► assume let's assume the watch Cavs in reality our little bit iffy or at least [TS]

01:04:54 ◼   ► not quite worthwhile do you think you know people are going to judge the Apple [TS]

01:04:59 ◼   ► watch based on [TS]

01:05:01 ◼   ► watched it and and if any any flaw or shortcomings get apps have will reflect [TS]

01:05:12 ◼   ► do you think releasing watched it the way they did now is better overall than [TS]

01:05:18 ◼   ► if they hadn't released at all just said no third party apps yet have [TS]

01:05:23 ◼   ► notifications which is probably better to do what they did because I think [TS]

01:05:28 ◼   ► there is a chance that people will get the watch it all with third party apps [TS]

01:05:35 ◼   ► enough to let them know that I as useful as I thought they were going to be but [TS]

01:05:40 ◼   ► they may still end up with a product whose functionality they're happy with [TS]

01:05:46 ◼   ► like I'm not entirely sure that the watch loses any value by not being able [TS]

01:05:53 ◼   ► to have a giant world applications like I think the core functionality of [TS]

01:05:57 ◼   ► telling time doing the fitness tracking providing a small window into [TS]

01:06:02 ◼   ► notifications tapping you you know like that core set of functionality may be [TS]

01:06:09 ◼   ► enough to to make this product worth its value because it is it's a novelty so [TS]

01:06:14 ◼   ► they'll be something into that and to let people know do do I want to wear a [TS]

01:06:18 ◼   ► smart much is there a place for us who are smart watch in my life I don't think [TS]

01:06:23 ◼   ► the answer to that question hinges on the performance of or even the existence [TS]

01:06:28 ◼   ► of third-party apps it will be nice if they worked and maybe they'll be one or [TS]

01:06:33 ◼   ► two third party apps that work and I think it's important to them do it [TS]

01:06:36 ◼   ► because for the one or two things where they like I mostly don't use their party [TS]

01:06:39 ◼   ► out but I I do use you know overcast when I go running and I do this you know [TS]

01:06:43 ◼   ► like one or two that work well enough that they're willing to deal with the [TS]

01:06:46 ◼   ► compromises having them there adds value the fact that a bunch of their apps are [TS]

01:06:50 ◼   ► flaky or he would be there soon your phone people just right and they'll just [TS]

01:06:56 ◼   ► move on and I think this product lives or dies by the functionality that [TS]

01:07:00 ◼   ► Apple's providing in terms of is it a thing that people are going to want to [TS]

01:07:07 ◼   ► functionality in [TS]

01:07:09 ◼   ► watchman three years from now third party apps are really a thing and do [TS]

01:07:13 ◼   ► interesting stuff and have access to like you know the speaker and the camera [TS]

01:07:18 ◼   ► that's on the third model and the third generation models of the stuff like this [TS]

01:07:21 ◼   ► world will blossom but right now out of the gate I think just the core [TS]

01:07:25 ◼   ► functionalities enough to to set this watch on its way [TS]

01:07:30 ◼   ► yeah I mean I I think the the built-in functionality from day one and and this [TS]

01:07:34 ◼   ► one of us might even be like too much stuff it does seem a number of the [TS]

01:07:39 ◼   ► reviews mention this including me like it does seem that there's a there's [TS]

01:07:44 ◼   ► almost a lack of focus and maybe that's a good thing you know maybe this is very [TS]

01:07:49 ◼   ► much in a have like the 80% problem of you know eighty percent of the users are [TS]

01:07:54 ◼   ► going to use 2010 features but it seemed to be a different twenty percent of the [TS]

01:07:57 ◼   ► features for each user so I see why they give us so many options of what this [TS]

01:08:01 ◼   ► thing could do for us and that end and that also support the idea of it should [TS]

01:08:07 ◼   ► support their party asked because like what I'm going to do with it is probably [TS]

01:08:11 ◼   ► going to use like four built-in functions plus one or two third party [TS]

01:08:16 ◼   ► apps like it's not going to be a very large number of things I'm doing with it [TS]

01:08:21 ◼   ► but it's going to include at least one third party at least my own and and you [TS]

01:08:29 ◼   ► know maybe like you know clear shopping for groceries if they if they haven't [TS]
