►
think about setting up a business unlocking iphones it's easy i hear ya
[TS]
00:00:06
◼
►
wow that's going nuts though you know it's like and I kind of feel like a kind
[TS]
00:00:11
◼
►
of call bit where it's like I mean I don't think this is very hard to it was
[TS]
00:00:14
◼
►
like I'm the only one you know made it unique observation but that it it it's
[TS]
00:00:21
◼
►
far from a slam-dunk because it's largely at least so far being tried in
[TS]
00:00:27
◼
►
the court of public opinion not in the corner
[TS]
00:00:31
◼
►
except for today yeah so it's is actually like late-breaking news
[TS]
00:00:36
◼
►
can you explain that I think you're probably better form that i am well now
[TS]
00:00:40
◼
►
I wouldn't say that in another case not the one that is really at the forefront
[TS]
00:00:45
◼
►
of all this
[TS]
00:00:47
◼
►
a federal judge in brooklyn today rolled at the government could not force Apple
[TS]
00:00:54
◼
►
to unlock a phone and iphone and it was I guess that they did i do it again and
[TS]
00:01:00
◼
►
it was this publicized also we know that this case was coming or or just drop out
[TS]
00:01:04
◼
►
of the thin air
[TS]
00:01:05
◼
►
well there were I mean they had talked about several other cases in which the
[TS]
00:01:10
◼
►
you know not necessarily the FBI but other you know like district attorneys
[TS]
00:01:17
◼
►
and things and you know other jurisdictions they were trying to get
[TS]
00:01:20
◼
►
Apple to unlock phones in order to get information for not necessarily
[TS]
00:01:24
◼
►
terrorism-related cases but just like you know racketeering drugs what I mean
[TS]
00:01:29
◼
►
like a whole bunch of the right and so this one this new york case so let's
[TS]
00:01:32
◼
►
just call it by the location i will say the new york this is the new york case
[TS]
00:01:35
◼
►
and the other ones the sand bernhard Bernardino's right case so that this is
[TS]
00:01:41
◼
►
different and it's one of the ways it's different is it a drug case so it's not
[TS]
00:01:46
◼
►
terrorism which doesn't really shouldn't really change the law but it absolutely
[TS]
00:01:52
◼
►
changed changes the amount of radioactive publicity
[TS]
00:01:56
◼
►
around this you know like use aid Brad there's a guy in Brooklyn is up on drug
[TS]
00:02:02
◼
►
charges and everybody is like oh ok but it's it it's tuesday and then you say a
[TS]
00:02:11
◼
►
bunch of a Muslim couple committed an act of terrorism and and shot up 14
[TS]
00:02:18
◼
►
killed 14 people and shot up 22 others and yes terrorism and then people are
[TS]
00:02:24
◼
►
you know and again i'm gonna be making fun of it it's it's a natural reaction
[TS]
00:02:27
◼
►
it is it that's shocking and it's it is you know you know it and I mean in this
[TS]
00:02:33
◼
►
far as i know in this drug case nobody nobody was killed
[TS]
00:02:35
◼
►
I mean you know I mean maybe somebody was killed in relation to this game
[TS]
00:02:40
◼
►
however that defendant is dealing that I don't actually know but you know it
[TS]
00:02:44
◼
►
certainly wasn't a case where 14 people right but in terms of the legal question
[TS]
00:02:48
◼
►
of whether the united states federal law as it stands today I can have you can
[TS]
00:02:54
◼
►
result in the Department of Justice getting a court order to force Apple or
[TS]
00:03:00
◼
►
any other company to write new code for their devices to comply with the law
[TS]
00:03:05
◼
►
I don't think it's any different there's nothing magical about terrorism that's
[TS]
00:03:10
◼
►
different than drugs in terms of can Apple be compelled to do this and the
[TS]
00:03:14
◼
►
judge in this case this was his name or James orenstein seems I didn't read his
[TS]
00:03:19
◼
►
order at it it's too late braking is a 50-page thing but there are some
[TS]
00:03:23
◼
►
highlights that came out he really seemed to rip the feds we're going to
[TS]
00:03:27
◼
►
build it but after what's the one that matter friend Matthew pans or end of the
[TS]
00:03:33
◼
►
show Matthew pans or end of the show I mean all the stuff gets down to this
[TS]
00:03:40
◼
►
this some all writs aggregate which we have become familiar with that's what
[TS]
00:03:48
◼
►
you know we love you know since we've done our crash course as constitutional
[TS]
00:03:52
◼
►
law experts we laugh I one of the things I've seen and I do appreciate I
[TS]
00:03:57
◼
►
appreciate that there are people who feel otherwise
[TS]
00:04:00
◼
►
and you know I it seems to me like most people who read during fire bombs into
[TS]
00:04:04
◼
►
the show I thought before I'd like the last episode do it down while I thought
[TS]
00:04:07
◼
►
that most people probably agreed with
[TS]
00:04:10
◼
►
what I think and judging from the feedback I've seen they do but clearly
[TS]
00:04:14
◼
►
not everybody does and i'll even admit that that's you know I don't agree but
[TS]
00:04:17
◼
►
did you know it's nice to have a reasonable disagreement with people
[TS]
00:04:20
◼
►
about politics
[TS]
00:04:21
◼
►
um that you don't know this isn't this isn't the world we want to live and we
[TS]
00:04:25
◼
►
really should have something where you know that the cops can get into a phone
[TS]
00:04:28
◼
►
if they need to
[TS]
00:04:29
◼
►
ok but the question of whether this all writs Act is the law that should this
[TS]
00:04:37
◼
►
should be based on to me even if you think that the yet law enforcement
[TS]
00:04:41
◼
►
should have some kind of technical way to get a phone if they really need to
[TS]
00:04:44
◼
►
they re I really feel like it's almost on it you can't debate that day they
[TS]
00:04:49
◼
►
should try to get a new law passed because the laws as they stand it
[TS]
00:04:54
◼
►
there's just no way this to get there from here yeah
[TS]
00:04:58
◼
►
did you read the all writs actress no I did it's actually it's very short
[TS]
00:05:03
◼
►
it's extremely short well I think that's part of the problem whichever yeah it's
[TS]
00:05:07
◼
►
very short and it's you know it was written in 1789 so there are you know
[TS]
00:05:13
◼
►
it's not exist but it's not dense you know I mean the plain meaning of it
[TS]
00:05:17
◼
►
especially when you read but other people say about it you know people who
[TS]
00:05:20
◼
►
are more expert in constitutional law if they say that the whole point of the all
[TS]
00:05:25
◼
►
writs Act was this was right at the beginning of the federal gov our federal
[TS]
00:05:28
◼
►
government you know the Constitution the inquest even dry on it and this was a
[TS]
00:05:34
◼
►
way so that you know the laws you know all sorts of things are we never thought
[TS]
00:05:38
◼
►
that we better make a lot all those little things you know hadn't happened
[TS]
00:05:42
◼
►
yet the all writs Act was passed as a sort of catch-all for like hey if
[TS]
00:05:47
◼
►
something hasn't been cut of if a case comes before you that falls between the
[TS]
00:05:50
◼
►
cracks of the laws that hadn't been anticipated you know this grants the
[TS]
00:05:54
◼
►
courts a bit of leeway to you know well so they don't shrug their shoulders and
[TS]
00:06:01
◼
►
its really really hard to see how that applies here especially when so many
[TS]
00:06:05
◼
►
laws have been passed about things like encryption and digital devices and stuff
[TS]
00:06:09
◼
►
like that that that they easily could have if if Congress had wanted to
[TS]
00:06:13
◼
►
mandate something like this easily could have had in fact there are laws on the
[TS]
00:06:16
◼
►
books that that's actually stimulate the other way that you know tech companies
[TS]
00:06:21
◼
►
can't be compelled to do things
[TS]
00:06:22
◼
►
what was that I had a link to any other down daring fireball forget the name of
[TS]
00:06:27
◼
►
the Act I guess I could look it up do we have that capability here it's the
[TS]
00:06:37
◼
►
Kodiak ok the communications assistance for law enforcement act so even just the
[TS]
00:06:43
◼
►
name the name of that law really makes it clear that this is you know this is
[TS]
00:06:48
◼
►
really something that's very very close and so here's the section the section of
[TS]
00:06:53
◼
►
kalia entitled design of features and systems configurations the statute says
[TS]
00:06:58
◼
►
it does not authorize any law enforcement agency or officer to require
[TS]
00:07:03
◼
►
any specific design of equipment facilities services features or system
[TS]
00:07:08
◼
►
configurations to be adopted by any provider of a wire or electronic
[TS]
00:07:12
◼
►
communication service any manufacturer of telecommunications equipment or any
[TS]
00:07:18
◼
►
provider of telecommunications support services and you know again such as me
[TS]
00:07:24
◼
►
i'm not you know how to put on my scooby-doo had here and doing is a
[TS]
00:07:28
◼
►
mature lawyer and this is you know real legal experts are saying that this you
[TS]
00:07:32
◼
►
know this was something that Apple cited in their own motion to vacate the order
[TS]
00:07:38
◼
►
apple is saying that and i think that there might be some slight ambiguity
[TS]
00:07:43
◼
►
there that maybe this the law was kind of written on the with phone companies
[TS]
00:07:48
◼
►
in in mind you know like AT&T right
[TS]
00:07:51
◼
►
verizon and those type of people not necessarily the handset maker but i
[TS]
00:07:56
◼
►
don't know i mean i think a plain reading of the law you know
[TS]
00:07:58
◼
►
telecommunications equipment and supporting that's you know cellphone
[TS]
00:08:02
◼
►
that's what that's what an iphone and their taste them that passes i just read
[TS]
00:08:06
◼
►
very specifically seems to say you can't make them do things like this you can
[TS]
00:08:11
◼
►
get a warrant to like investigate what they already have but you can't make
[TS]
00:08:15
◼
►
them do new things
[TS]
00:08:16
◼
►
yeah so here's the quote from Judge orenstein that Matthew now this is so to
[TS]
00:08:25
◼
►
reiterate for anybody's following along can keep the namesake this is the new
[TS]
00:08:28
◼
►
york case that just broke today and 829 februari
[TS]
00:08:32
◼
►
this wasn't what I was thinking about this one's good too i'm i conclude that
[TS]
00:08:36
◼
►
Apple's position is more consistent than the government's with the rule of
[TS]
00:08:39
◼
►
statutory construction that requires giving meaning to all statutory words
[TS]
00:08:44
◼
►
and clauses as well as the rules prohibiting interpretations that produce
[TS]
00:08:48
◼
►
absurd results for our of this suspect constitutionality heat right so in other
[TS]
00:08:54
◼
►
words I mean that you it's actually it's kind of a good read it's like dripping
[TS]
00:08:58
◼
►
with sarcasm I mean he's your hits and then the one that I remember that was
[TS]
00:09:02
◼
►
this there's another one that says something like it it's basically to the
[TS]
00:09:05
◼
►
effect of it you know if the government's permission is true position
[TS]
00:09:08
◼
►
is accurate then there's nothing stopping the government from commanding
[TS]
00:09:13
◼
►
someone to commit murder right way we can command you to do whatever we need
[TS]
00:09:18
◼
►
to get this is this this glenn greenwald of the intercept has cited this passage
[TS]
00:09:25
◼
►
the judge also accused the government trying to manipulate secret judicial
[TS]
00:09:28
◼
►
proceedings to obtain powers for itself against apple that public debate in
[TS]
00:09:34
◼
►
Congress would never permit it is judge orenstein wrote quote clear that the
[TS]
00:09:40
◼
►
government has made the considered decision that it is better off securing
[TS]
00:09:44
◼
►
such crypto legislative authority from the courts in proceedings that had
[TS]
00:09:50
◼
►
always been at the time and filed the instant application shielded from public
[TS]
00:09:53
◼
►
scrutiny rather than taking the chance that open legislative debate might
[TS]
00:09:58
◼
►
produce a result less to its liking and quote back to Greenwald because
[TS]
00:10:02
◼
►
government wants the courts rather than Congress to grant this power the quote
[TS]
00:10:07
◼
►
government's interpretation of the breath and authority of the all writs
[TS]
00:10:11
◼
►
Act confers on courts of limited jurisdiction raises serious doubts about
[TS]
00:10:17
◼
►
how such a statute could withstand constitutional scrutiny under the
[TS]
00:10:22
◼
►
separation of powers dr so what is morally saying is there's just no way
[TS]
00:10:27
◼
►
that there's no way that it that that by not happen you know completely
[TS]
00:10:31
◼
►
circumventing the legislature and doing this and secret through the courts how
[TS]
00:10:34
◼
►
in the world is that will fit within our system
[TS]
00:10:38
◼
►
so I really really think I mean as this goes on in this I mean this is just
[TS]
00:10:41
◼
►
devastating in my opinion I mean it seems to me not just what I think but
[TS]
00:10:45
◼
►
you know Greenwald's pretty smart on issues like this it just seems like
[TS]
00:10:50
◼
►
everybody you know follows the stuff really sees this as a slam-dunk case and
[TS]
00:10:55
◼
►
apples favor
[TS]
00:10:56
◼
►
yeah well this ruling is this right right right apples favor definitely I
[TS]
00:11:00
◼
►
mean obviously I think the government's going to appeal this too right I guess I
[TS]
00:11:03
◼
►
can't imagine that they wouldn't it seems like they would so it's never you
[TS]
00:11:08
◼
►
know it's never completely over until the visor computer-related yeah or it's
[TS]
00:11:13
◼
►
going to this problem cares i wonder when they filed this because it's
[TS]
00:11:16
◼
►
clearly not the time we add so many of us have said that this the San
[TS]
00:11:20
◼
►
Bernardino phone is such a perfect example for the government because it's
[TS]
00:11:24
◼
►
quote-unquote terrorism and it was mean it wasn't just like suspects am easier
[TS]
00:11:30
◼
►
to do to people who actually shot and killed a bunch of people let me know
[TS]
00:11:33
◼
►
it's true you know they actually committed it it wasn't even like a you
[TS]
00:11:36
◼
►
know right up a plan and it just lends them so much more emotional and and sort
[TS]
00:11:46
◼
►
of now in some ways political weight behind their request that they don't
[TS]
00:11:53
◼
►
have in case like this drug case
[TS]
00:11:54
◼
►
yeah yeah i mean the Terrorism stuff obviously brings out people's emotions a
[TS]
00:12:01
◼
►
lot rap and again records where some people think I like drug myself well but
[TS]
00:12:08
◼
►
again I would be lost without my drug dealer again we laugh but I i think i
[TS]
00:12:13
◼
►
speak for you that it i also though I see that though is you know it is common
[TS]
00:12:19
◼
►
sense that some you know portion of the public would see this differently and
[TS]
00:12:22
◼
►
it's not necessarily unreasonable people you know I didn't mean it
[TS]
00:12:26
◼
►
it gets to the root of the the real word terrorism not be politicised one that is
[TS]
00:12:31
◼
►
thrown about but the real word you know the that it strikes terror in people and
[TS]
00:12:35
◼
►
when you're terrorized you know you have a reaction you actually not if you are
[TS]
00:12:40
◼
►
terrorized ended you don't really hear you're like I'm cool I'm scared out of
[TS]
00:12:43
◼
►
my mind
[TS]
00:12:44
◼
►
you're you know you're not there something wrong with your doctor or not
[TS]
00:12:47
◼
►
there's like evolutionary reasons why when when when you encounter a
[TS]
00:12:55
◼
►
terrifying situation that your body but you know what reacts and very quick and
[TS]
00:13:00
◼
►
and decided way you know I i find this argument about I mean it's an
[TS]
00:13:05
◼
►
interesting argument about the the idea that where this debate should take place
[TS]
00:13:09
◼
►
and I'm just here to put it into into simple terms for stupid people like me I
[TS]
00:13:16
◼
►
had not seen the most recent Mission Impossible movie it and I just started
[TS]
00:13:21
◼
►
watching it this afternoon and then this this came out which is kind of funny
[TS]
00:13:25
◼
►
because the in the very beginning they disband the IMF you know that's
[TS]
00:13:31
◼
►
impossible missions pores which is it completely unregulated organization that
[TS]
00:13:36
◼
►
acts without any accountability whatsoever and and we're supposed to do
[TS]
00:13:43
◼
►
we know and watching the movie that kind of root for the people who have actually
[TS]
00:13:47
◼
►
no accountability
[TS]
00:13:49
◼
►
yeah but even there even with the IMF and I liked that movie that's a rogue
[TS]
00:13:53
◼
►
nation right this neighborhood i actually enjoyed that very much I I
[TS]
00:13:56
◼
►
thought it was and it's it's funny I don't want to do any spoilers but
[TS]
00:13:59
◼
►
there's actually a whole bunch of parallels to Spector it's almost uncanny
[TS]
00:14:04
◼
►
how similar the two movies are like that the lengths to which you could draw you
[TS]
00:14:09
◼
►
know create a what they call the summaries you know like you know like
[TS]
00:14:16
◼
►
when you done netflix and they give you like the quick summary
[TS]
00:14:19
◼
►
oh yeah you like a half a review and a half of a quick plot summary like you
[TS]
00:14:22
◼
►
can go you can go pretty far into detail and have it apply just as well to the
[TS]
00:14:27
◼
►
rotation inspector I find that rogue nation was by far the better movie
[TS]
00:14:31
◼
►
that's my understanding have not seen evidence Inspectorate that is a subject
[TS]
00:14:36
◼
►
first and different episode of the show yeah it wasn't possible
[TS]
00:14:39
◼
►
I think it's great but one difference is at least with IMF like it you know Ethan
[TS]
00:14:44
◼
►
Hunt would break into apple and he would write it
[TS]
00:14:47
◼
►
but he would write the code himself you know and he would be with benji benji
[TS]
00:14:52
◼
►
would really have enjoyed the company that would break in and I need to have
[TS]
00:14:55
◼
►
glasses you know so that she could see what you're saying and I in he would
[TS]
00:15:00
◼
►
steal Apple signing key and then you know that they would do all the work
[TS]
00:15:05
◼
►
themselves and they would do so knowing that they're breaking the law to do it
[TS]
00:15:08
◼
►
brand they wouldn't you know it it's still they had different from this which
[TS]
00:15:13
◼
►
is really of this sort of compulsory we're gonna make you do we would we tell
[TS]

you to do even though you say we absolutely positively would never do
[TS]
00:15:21
◼
►
what you're asking us to do is something we would never do
[TS]
00:15:24
◼
►
yeah yeah I mean it seems to me like there maybe I don't mean somebody like
[TS]
00:15:31
◼
►
Richmond have a better idea that I would but like there may be a way that
[TS]
00:15:34
◼
►
somebody super-smart could do that in but that's not really what the point is
[TS]
00:15:40
◼
►
here that the point is to create legal precedent right I I'm they're not even
[TS]
00:15:44
◼
►
they're not even trying
[TS]
00:15:45
◼
►
in the last week I've I am I one of the things that's come up as this has gone
[TS]
00:15:51
◼
►
on is is more more about how there's no way that Apple could create this and
[TS]
00:15:59
◼
►
then destroy it
[TS]
00:16:00
◼
►
well I mean technically it's possible that they could create this user once
[TS]
00:16:03
◼
►
and then erase all you know traces of it and start over but for any kind of any
[TS]
00:16:09
◼
►
any case where they would need to show in court it has to be preserved you
[TS]
00:16:15
◼
►
can't have evidence that was generated using a tool that you've been destroyed
[TS]
00:16:18
◼
►
increase the defense has a right to inspect the tool it i know that again
[TS]
00:16:24
◼
►
the slippery slope phrase it's like hear it over and over and over again and it
[TS]
00:16:28
◼
►
starts to lose meaning but I really feel like it's perfectly apt hear that when
[TS]
00:16:31
◼
►
you start down this path and it just leads and you don't even know where it's
[TS]
00:16:34
◼
►
going to wind up right the fact that you have to preserve tools that are used to
[TS]
00:16:38
◼
►
generate evidence in a criminal case is you know and rightly so that's that's
[TS]
00:16:44
◼
►
what it should be but it just shows that you can you know there's no way that
[TS]
00:16:47
◼
►
they could create this and destroy it
[TS]
00:16:49
◼
►
yeah that's one of the ways that the San Bernardino case is a perfect storm
[TS]
00:16:53
◼
►
because i don't i really don't think there is any kind of criminal case going
[TS]
00:16:56
◼
►
on because the two suspects are dead
[TS]
00:16:58
◼
►
I mean so yeah right what is it exactly you mean they're not prosecuting anybody
[TS]
00:17:02
◼
►
but they're looking for more people but what if they do find a text message on
[TS]
00:17:09
◼
►
the phone and it's to somebody else and they're like we're gonna prosecute this
[TS]
00:17:13
◼
►
guy well now there is a lawsuit and the way that they found the guy was using
[TS]
00:17:17
◼
►
this tool so even if there's no criminal case against these the two shooters
[TS]
00:17:21
◼
►
there's you know the whole point of wanting to look at the phone on a
[TS]
00:17:26
◼
►
surface is is that they're looking for any other anybody else who they might
[TS]
00:17:29
◼
►
have been in conspiring with right what else is going on with this phone thing a
[TS]
00:17:39
◼
►
lot of bad commentary i do find that and again I guess it's it's well one of the
[TS]
00:17:49
◼
►
things that's interesting i say this one of the things that's interesting about
[TS]
00:17:51
◼
►
it is that it doesn't fall neatly on the left right political divide and in
[TS]
00:17:57
◼
►
general the political right is a little bit more friendly to law enforcement and
[TS]
00:18:02
◼
►
the left is more friendly or or you know more or but more in favor of civil
[TS]
00:18:08
◼
►
rights and civil liberties right so the ACLU is perceived probably correctly so
[TS]
00:18:14
◼
►
as a left-leaning organization and you know and so and in some sense this is
[TS]
00:18:21
◼
►
definitely about absolutely about civil liberties that's apples entire defense
[TS]
00:18:26
◼
►
really um that if you would predict there's any kind of left-right split it
[TS]
00:18:31
◼
►
would be you know Democrats and left-leaning people thought siding with
[TS]
00:18:35
◼
►
apple and Republicans and conservative siding with for the yeah for the further
[TS]
00:18:40
◼
►
but that's a really broad generalization and a lot of conservatives are very
[TS]
00:18:44
◼
►
libertarian minded and are suspicious of government and about those guys those
[TS]
00:18:51
◼
►
guys that took that woman took over that land in portland probably over
[TS]
00:18:54
◼

reports to the FBI it was it more like one likes Marvel it was oregon was a

Portland did I say for leading-man Oregon hit whatever is good but I'm
[TS]
00:19:05

thank-you pie like a hipster coffee with a just brought really a really nice thai
[TS]
00:19:17
◼

restaurant takeover a food truck we can get rid of this guy but why are
[TS]
00:19:26
◼
►
expensive donut really really great sneakers and now that I've seen an awful
[TS]
00:19:33
◼
►
lot of people who you know I follow on twitter for other political reasons who
[TS]
00:19:37
◼
►
are you know and ordinarily would be on a republican conservative side and are
[TS]
00:19:42
◼
►
you know very much in favor of apple in this regard and I also seen a lot of
[TS]
00:19:46
◼
►
them i don't i see the similarities almost don't want to open the door on
[TS]
00:19:51
◼
►
this but I've seen a lot of conservatives I've seen a lot of them
[TS]
00:19:54
◼
►
compare it to a gun ownership and and didn't gun gun control legislation and I
[TS]
00:20:04
◼
►
feel like that breaks down pretty quickly but at the top level I kind of
[TS]
00:20:07
◼
►
see that I do kind of see what you're getting at that there's this argument
[TS]
00:20:09
◼
►
that the second amendment at a very very high level that if you read it it's you
[TS]
00:20:13
◼
►
know says you know to you know it's some kind of you know protection against that
[TS]
00:20:17
◼
►
you know the government that you know you can protect yourself and that that's
[TS]
00:20:21
◼
►
what encryption is that you can have this device where you protect the data
[TS]
00:20:24
◼
►
yourself and you have a right to do this is an individual so I kind of see it
[TS]
00:20:27
◼
►
breaks to me it breaks down a very quickly because gun legislation
[TS]
00:20:31
◼
►
encryption is binary did your stuff is either encrypted securely or it's not
[TS]
00:20:36
◼
►
encrypted security
[TS]
00:20:37
◼
►
yes or no and yes there's different strengths to you know you give greater
[TS]
00:20:41
◼
►
and greater key lengths and different algorithms and stuff like that so I'm
[TS]
00:20:44
◼
►
not saying all encryption is equivalent but it's either securely encrypted or
[TS]
00:20:48
◼
►
not was gone ownership is a or gun legislation in terms of which guns you
[TS]
00:20:53
◼
►
can buy is clearly there's a spectrum and everybody agrees is one of those
[TS]
00:20:57
◼
►
things that to me drives me nuts about when you talk about gun control
[TS]
00:21:00
◼
►
legislation is that everybody seems to agree even if the hard the hardest of
[TS]
00:21:04
◼
►
the hard liners in the Second Amendment
[TS]
00:21:06
◼
►
that you know normal civilian shouldn't be able to buys surface-to-air missiles
[TS]
00:21:11
◼
►
to shoot down general you know that somewhere everybody's willing to draw a
[TS]
00:21:15
◼
►
line that these arms are too powerful and that the debate is where that line
[TS]
00:21:19
◼
►
should be drawn but again i don't know if anyone and i'm sure this is one of
[TS]
00:21:24
◼
►
the topics i'm sure there are people who listen to the show fact I know a couple
[TS]
00:21:27
◼
►
of them have friends who listen to the show who are you know staunch advocates
[TS]
00:21:32
◼
►
of gun ownership rights but I do see the connection and I've i suspect that those
[TS]
00:21:37
◼
►
type of listeners people who can who can bear to listen to my show and the small
[TS]
00:21:42
◼
►
doses of politics i drop into it but our start Second Amendment advocates I
[TS]
00:21:46
◼
►
guarantee those listeners are on Apple sinus yeah so I do think it makes for an
[TS]
00:21:51
◼
►
interesting public debate
[TS]
00:21:53
◼
►
yeah the problem the problem is that there's sadly not enough representation
[TS]
00:22:00
◼
►
of those views in politics really easy because most of the month most of the
[TS]
00:22:05
◼
►
candidates have come out strongly in favor of the FBI or if they're not
[TS]
00:22:10
◼
►
strongly in favor of the FBI like like our man Trump what's Trump say we just
[TS]
00:22:15
◼
►
open the damn phone just opened just open the damn phone just open it up it's
[TS]
00:22:20
◼
►
easy on the the thing that's a little frustrating is that the the the other
[TS]
00:22:26
◼
►
side is our kind of get involved there there take is more or less wishful
[TS]
00:22:31
◼
►
thinking like let's put smart people in a room and you know from law enforcement
[TS]
00:22:36
◼
►
and from these great American tech companies and I'm sure they'll come up
[TS]
00:22:39
◼
►
with something that will that will a pretty keeping everybody's data are
[TS]
00:22:44
◼
►
completely safe and secure and we'll let the FBI look at it whenever they want to
[TS]
00:22:49
◼
►
nothing nothing bad has ever come out of a smoke-filled room
[TS]
00:22:53
◼
►
it picks up maybe the sunblock what is this about that you said we'd I didn't
[TS]
00:22:59
◼
►
see this this now that I guess because it came out yesterday I didn't even know
[TS]
00:23:03
◼
►
that there was a Sunday Wall Street Journal maybe it came out the newspaper
[TS]
00:23:07
◼
►
today and it was just as yesterday's date line LOL ellegarden l Gordon
[TS]
00:23:13
◼
►
Kravitz now this sounds like a made-up name
[TS]
00:23:16
◼
►
he would he used to be the publisher of the the general apparently but I had not
[TS]
00:23:23
◼
►
really heard of him before this this piece but number one if you're a
[TS]
00:23:28
◼
►
conservative and you go by first initial Borden something
[TS]
00:23:33
◼
►
no stop it she had his first name is his first name is Luis it's not like it's
[TS]
00:23:38
◼
►
livanski or something I mean it's not like some long or your complicated or
[TS]
00:23:44
◼
►
name that he would have gotten tease developing gordon Liddy yeah like this
[TS]
00:23:50
◼
►
is a guy is probably about Raj he he's doing it on bright like he's a
[TS]
00:23:54
◼
►
good-looking to gordon Liddy and it's like hey I my middle name is Gordon i
[TS]
00:23:57
◼
►
think im gonna be cool
[TS]
00:24:01
◼
►
it's important to have role models I'm gonna be cool like a political hack did
[TS]
00:24:05
◼
►
time for Nixon and became a after we got out became a right-wing radio kook right
[TS]
00:24:13
◼
►
how would you summarize is his headline is Apple's rotten core so we went there
[TS]
00:24:19
◼
►
I went to the well he spends a lot of time talking about IEDC he starts out by
[TS]
00:24:24
◼
►
sort of trying to make it seem like apples argument is all about whether
[TS]
00:24:28
◼
►
it's difficult to do or not and China and tries to make it seem like Apple
[TS]
00:24:32
◼
►
just doesn't want to do it because it's because they're saying it's hard when
[TS]
00:24:35
◼
►
that's really not the situation at all and he at some point he says that he
[TS]
00:24:44
◼
►
obviously they can find the quote Apple engineers Evan this I can't find out but
[TS]
00:24:53
◼
►
he says that Apple engineers are basically admitted that it that it would
[TS]
00:24:58
◼
►
keep could only apply to this one phone will not leave without linking to
[TS]
00:25:03
◼
►
anything at first a little at first claim this is a quote that this would
[TS]
00:25:08
◼
►
this work would affect millions of customers now it's engineers admit code
[TS]
00:25:13
◼
►
can apply to a specific iphone
[TS]
00:25:15
◼
►
which apple is never said well they could make an instance of the OS that
[TS]
00:25:22
◼
►
only applies to one phone but it's you know at this point you're starting to
[TS]
00:25:27
◼
►
talk it's like talking copy-protection you know with video games and apps you
[TS]
00:25:32
◼
►
know where you once you have a version of the OS that has a statement that says
[TS]
00:25:36
◼
►
if the device ID equals this exact device ID then go ahead and you know
[TS]
00:25:43
◼
►
we'll let the manner as many passcodes they want then somebody who illicitly
[TS]
00:25:49
◼
►
obtained a copy of the OS can break into a debugger and just say why don't we
[TS]
00:25:52
◼
►
just skip that if check and again I realized and i don't i'm not gonna start
[TS]
00:25:58
◼
►
a computer science podcast i realized that there are ways to obfuscate that
[TS]
00:26:02
◼
►
code so that it's not that easy to identify when you break into the
[TS]
00:26:07
◼
►
debugger but on the other hand I'll go back to my analogy of software copy
[TS]
00:26:11
◼
►
protection wear it you can't beat it
[TS]
00:26:15
◼
►
eventually I mean if the you know did whatever checks and that you know most
[TS]
00:26:19
◼
►
apps and games that are serious about it don't just have a if serial number
[TS]
00:26:22
◼
►
equals legit dude you know go ahead and play the game
[TS]
00:26:26
◼
►
I mean I try to make it more complicated than that but you know anybody who's
[TS]
00:26:29
◼
►
ever tried to you know investigated how much pirated software is out and
[TS]
00:26:34
◼
►
floating around the world and always has been will realize that there's always
[TS]
00:26:37
◼
►
ways around it and it's the idea that they would be this version i'm gonna go
[TS]
00:26:43
◼
►
with this analogy it's not that bad it's sort of like they're asking him to make
[TS]
00:26:46
◼
►
a game that you know but we will make sure we're the only ones with the serial
[TS]
00:26:49
◼
►
number but then anybody can crack it and now everybody's gotta you know phone
[TS]
00:26:54
◼
►
cracking thing else is that when Apple refused the court order Apple defenders
[TS]
00:27:00
◼
►
claimed it was impossible to unlock the phone to see nobody said that I don't
[TS]
00:27:05
◼
►
nobody said nobody said that i quoted a thing today we're and maybe I even went
[TS]
00:27:11
◼
►
the wrong way but that somebody you know there was this Washington Post story on
[TS]
00:27:14
◼
►
that thing and they were like somebody was trying to give a quote like both
[TS]
00:27:18
◼
►
sides are kind of liars former Justice Department official Jennifer dass cows
[TS]
00:27:23
◼
►
that both sides are overstating argument she said the government is wrong to say
[TS]
00:27:26
◼
►
this is just about one case on the other hand it is wrong to say that if Apple
[TS]
00:27:31
◼
►
loses this case there's absolutely no limits to what the government can order
[TS]
00:27:35
◼
►
a company to do and I'm daring fireball I said well the first part is totally
[TS]
00:27:40
◼
►
true the government really is being disingenuous about this applying to just
[TS]
00:27:44
◼
►
one phone and I said that nobody especially not apples using words like
[TS]
00:27:48
◼
►
absolutely no limits on what the government come order company to do a
[TS]
00:27:52
◼
►
couple emails said well actually apples or doesn't quite say that exactly but
[TS]
00:27:55
◼
►
they do say that there's no end to the limit and like you said with the the
[TS]
00:28:00
◼
►
other one the orenstein one that you know what or whatever else or someone
[TS]
00:28:04
◼
►
would you say said that you know this could lead to the conclusion that the
[TS]
00:28:07
◼
►
government could order you to kill people that wasn't yeah that would arise
[TS]
00:28:10
◼
►
that you know actually I mean I was there was not necessarily you know that
[TS]
00:28:14
◼
►
was not saying that Apple I mean it was basically that wasn't that was a legal
[TS]
00:28:17
◼
►
interpretation of the misinterpretation reason that all writs act basically they
[TS]
00:28:22
◼
►
were saying that that it they were saying that though the written law did
[TS]
00:28:27
◼
►
not apply and so they need to invoke the all writs Act packed and I think
[TS]
00:28:32
◼
►
gornstein was saying no there's actually a law on the books about this and you
[TS]
00:28:36
◼
►
can't just ignore that and invoke the law all writs Act because if you start
[TS]
00:28:39
◼
►
doing that then you can do anything I want that you know that this is exactly
[TS]
00:28:42
◼
►
what the rule of law is about that right we make these rules we have a general
[TS]
00:28:48
◼

agreement as to what words mean and therefore you you you follow the law
[TS]
00:28:56

I've seen some people in and and you know I don't even over towards i don't
[TS]
00:29:06

on Twitter they've been some people have approached me with the well how would I

feel if one of my family members had been killed by these people did you see
[TS]
00:29:19

oh hey there's a couple problems with that state and be very surprised
[TS]
00:29:41
◼

yeah yeah I think surprise rolling news for consumers reaction would be if the

police the police called him and said Mr Cook we have terrible news
[TS]
00:29:51
◼

your wife is gonna say what now that that would be something and I get this
[TS]

victims I I sympathize i really do and I i totally agree with apples emphasis not
[TS]
00:30:11

this Republican they say something right up front about the tremendous sympathy
[TS]
00:30:18
◼

they have for the for the families of the victims of this incident and every
[TS]
00:30:22

incident and that they you know cannot abide terrorism it's it's the trade-off
[TS]
00:30:26
◼

there is no perfect way to to to cut this off you know you can either you
[TS]
00:30:32

privacy and civil liberties for everybody or not but that's you know
[TS]

00:42:10

lost bet but I knew it was a bet
[TS]
00:43:31

I just thought though in times past they give out the official invitation so late

that if you book only when you get wake up in the morning and find the email
[TS]
00:43:40

lot more for airfare and if you book in advance and so I took the gamble that
[TS]
00:43:48

you know try to save some money

what the differences I maybe the 22nd is an actual hearing or something I don't
[TS]
00:52:17
◼

yeah I think he's just real maybe he's just I don't think his thing is
[TS]
00:52:22
◼
►
necessarily public but i'm not positive
[TS]
00:52:26
◼
►
let's do with the and then the other the other thing is public is this like in
[TS]
00:52:30
◼
►
front of Congress right yeah that's tomorrow which seems like a real shit
[TS]
00:52:34
◼
►
although the public one is the public Inc public oh yes the one that he
[TS]
00:52:38
◼
►
already released an opening statement for ok that's the one where you're just
[TS]
00:52:44
◼
►
parading before some grandstanding Congress people and you just have to sit
[TS]
00:52:48
◼
►
there and listen to them
[TS]
00:52:50
◼

difficult day to be Bruce school tomorrow
[TS]
00:53:00
◼
►
Tim Cook's dominic has done it I got AI remember like member he'd tear on the
[TS]
00:53:06
◼
►
taxes then which i think is is all at least at least the people who disagree
[TS]
00:53:14
◼
►
with apples perspective on that I think that they actually have a leg to stand
[TS]
00:53:18
◼
►
on in terms and end you know it not that Apple is keep the people that people who
[TS]
00:53:24
◼
►
disagree with Apple have like yeah the people who say you should be you should
[TS]
00:53:27
◼
►
repatriate the money and pay your taxes that there's some ye some sense to the
[TS]
00:53:32
◼
►
argument it's not you're not arguing like a fantasy thing but i don't know i
[TS]
00:53:37
◼
►
mean i think in a way they are i mean i think with the the argument about the
[TS]
00:53:43
◼
►
the iphone is what the long nights where exactly and there's whereas whereas
[TS]
00:53:48
◼
►
that's not as ambiguous with the tax claim they were they are actually
[TS]
00:53:52
◼
►
complying with the law it's just that the laws is letting them get away with
[TS]
00:53:57
◼
►
right exactly taxpayer right tax murder right yeah right well we'll collect all
[TS]
00:54:05
◼
►
the taxes on way we wouldn't collect the taxes would be of some crazy company
[TS]
00:54:08
◼
►
wanted to you know I don't know put a hundred billion dollars in an offshore
[TS]
00:54:11
◼
►
account Ireland i'm going to keep a hundred billion dollars in oh how do we
[TS]
00:54:16
◼
►
how do we not think of that o.o that's because people in business wrote the tax
[TS]
00:54:23
◼
►
law I can't help but think that Apple's not happy about and who knows maybe this
[TS]
00:54:27
◼
►
March twenty second thing with brutal and DC will come and go and and people
[TS]
00:54:32
◼
►
will be tired of the whole FBI argument by them but i can't help but think that
[TS]
00:54:35
◼
►
whatever caused them to to change their date for this event
[TS]
00:54:39
◼
►
it's not good news because i think even though it's a day before I think they'd
[TS]
00:54:42
◼
►
rather have like a whole week of her what you called sunshine you know where
[TS]
00:54:47
◼
►
the news about Apple is this new iphone and the new ipad and i and maybe get
[TS]
00:54:53
◼
►
people to stop talking about the FBI thing for a week and concentrate on the
[TS]
00:54:56
◼
►
product was now they've got 24 hours
[TS]
00:54:59
◼
►
well yeah or maybe they think that whatever they're announcing is going to
[TS]
00:55:03
◼
►
be good enough that they're can overshadow it a little bit or at least
[TS]
00:55:07
◼
►
there's a chance of how I just think you can't you know that to show it's sort of
[TS]
00:55:10
◼
►
like a show must go on situation
[TS]
00:55:12
◼
►
you know it is what it is and they obviously weren't prepared for this I
[TS]
00:55:16
◼
►
mean one thing we know about this whole FBI thing is that Apple was taken by
[TS]
00:55:20
◼
►
surprise and Tim Cook said on ABC that he found out about it after the
[TS]
00:55:25
◼
►
president the press was notified about it before Apple was which is again not
[TS]
00:55:30
◼
►
the FBI's proudest moment in my opinion but you know with somebody who is you
[TS]
00:55:35
◼
►
know Apple who is not a criminal suspect it's not
[TS]
00:55:38
◼
►
yeah i like when you'd when tim cook at you know axes a little bit upset i think
[TS]
00:55:44
◼
►
rightly so that Apple found out about it through the press it's not like they're
[TS]
00:55:47
◼
►
the subject of a criminal investigation they're supposedly apple green you know
[TS]
00:55:51

[TS]
01:00:30
◼
►
cycle but it won't but it's not supposed two three
[TS]
01:00:34
◼
►
no don't have three that 1i guess the one flagship thing it's missing is 3d
[TS]
01:00:38
◼
►
touch and who knows maybe I like the ipad maybe like the ipad mini and maybe
[TS]
01:00:42
◼
►
it'll have the year old touch ID sensor that's looks exactly the same but is
[TS]
01:00:48
◼
►
there a little slower so it's lower him which I actually i might upgrade techno
[TS]
01:00:53
◼
►
even though because i heard all of these are people complain about i still get it
[TS]
01:00:58
◼
►
that I key i still that button is so much more convenient to just wake up the
[TS]
01:01:02
◼
►
phone and look at the lock screen like the problem is that made apple has made
[TS]
01:01:07
◼
►
the lock screen so much more useful now that it shows like your most recent
[TS]
01:01:12
◼
►
notifications that I want to see the lockscreen a lot and they've made it
[TS]
01:01:15
◼
►
impossible to get the lock screen using your your thumb on the touch ID button
[TS]
01:01:20
◼
►
because it's so damn fast
[TS]
01:01:23
◼
►
so anyway I would even call that a downside but i'm wondering why don't I
[TS]
01:01:28
◼
►
i'm wondering if I did I mean I our friend Albert complaints about that too
[TS]
01:01:32
◼
►
but I don't I don't I mean I i if you anyway and you can tap the side but you
[TS]
01:01:37
◼
►
can use the side button or if you use the tip of your thumb instead of the
[TS]
01:01:42
◼
►
flat part you can get it to do what you want to write it'sit's I don't have a
[TS]
01:01:47
◼
►
lot of patience for that it's it's not my strongest complain again stop this

01:01:54
◼
►
thing is too fat resting
[TS]
01:01:58
◼
►
my Porsche is just it's just this card too fast
[TS]
01:02:03
◼
►
good-looking I know my god nobody makes me like terrible i like terrible
[TS]
01:02:08
◼
►
standing next to my Porsche ever nobody ever shuts up about how beautiful that
[TS]
01:02:13
◼
►
that's terribly annoying huh i'm curious and then this story that hasn't leaked
[TS]
01:02:20
◼
►
yet like what type of storage capacities is gonna have is I think that it's going
[TS]
01:02:25
◼
►
to get have a couple of options you know and we had a hundred dollars apart but
[TS]
01:02:29
◼
►
that I had hurt i well I one point I had seen 1664 that light which is I think
[TS]
01:02:35
◼
►
what most of them go round well don't do 1632 don't know that don't know there's
[TS]
01:02:40
◼
►
no been talking about writer years right right that's the terrible ending but
[TS]
01:02:45
◼
►
they won't have to wonder what they're gonna do that jerky thing that they did
[TS]
01:02:48
◼
►
the rest of them drive 16 and 64 makes a lot of sense i'm guessing and then the
[TS]
01:02:53
◼
►
other big question is how good is the camera going to be and you know it
[TS]
01:02:59
◼
►
that's the sort of thing that it's yeah you know the the yeah i know i
[TS]
01:03:03
◼
►
understand that that's important i mean that's important for lots of people it's
[TS]
01:03:07
◼
►
not important for me because I had to keep saying this but I feel like the
[TS]
01:03:11
◼
►
camera surpassed my ability to take a good picture like with three generations
[TS]
01:03:15
◼
►
ago so I'm happy going back to what I mean certainly the lake if it's the sips
[TS]
01:03:20
◼
►
I'm perfectly happy going back to that even if it's like the 5s I'm happy going
[TS]
01:03:24
◼
►
back to that too
[TS]
01:03:25
◼
►
I mean the only thing i think i would miss is 3d touch which I have come to
[TS]
01:03:29
◼
►
rely on a little bit but I think for to get a smaller phone i will actually i
[TS]
01:03:35
◼
►
will actually be willing to give that up
[TS]
01:03:36
◼
►
yeah its interactive can't wait to see how they do this and how Apple portrays
[TS]
01:03:41
◼
►
the camera like both i'm most interested in how the camera actually is of course
[TS]
01:03:45
◼
►
but i'm very interested to see how Apple talks about the camera and the ways that
[TS]
01:03:50
◼
►
it's you know what's good about it and how do they position it compared to the
[TS]
01:03:54
◼
►
iphone success and success plus which by all accounts and but just by common
[TS]
01:03:59
◼
►
sense because they're almost certainly more expensive have a superior camera
[TS]
01:04:05
◼
►
it's going to wind up my guesses that it's it is its own camera you know that
[TS]
01:04:10
◼
►
it's not like they took the camera from the blank iphone and stuck in this that
[TS]
01:04:14
◼
►
you know that this device is different enough from anything that's come before
[TS]
01:04:17
◼
►
it that it's got its own camera and where it falls on the spectrum is in and
[TS]
01:04:24
◼
►
some degrees technically measurable and in other ways is subjective
[TS]
01:04:28
◼
►
yeah i mean you can take a side-by-side picture at the exact same lighting from
[TS]
01:04:34
◼
►
the exact same spot and then compare the resulting files and look for things like
[TS]
01:04:38
◼
►
noise and you know how you know how bright it looks in low lighting or
[TS]
01:04:43
◼
►
something like that but in other ways you know it's like it's like you said a
[TS]
01:04:46
◼
►
lot of ways it's just it it long ago surpass most of our abilities you know
[TS]
01:04:50
◼
►
like there when the the shot with iphone campaign started a year ago when the
[TS]
01:04:54
◼
►
best phone was the iphone 6 there are people who shot photos are way better
[TS]
01:04:57
◼
►
than any photo I'm ever gonna take in a million years with the with the iphone
[TS]
01:05:01
◼
►
15 you know what I mean like like 10 years from now when the cameras are
[TS]
01:05:07
◼
►
absolutely amazing i'm never gonna take a picture as beautiful as the one that's
[TS]
01:05:10
◼
►
that Apple chose to put on the billboard that were taken with the iphone second
[TS]
01:05:13
◼
►
last year I mean that people take some amazing photos with those things
[TS]
01:05:17
◼
►
what's making you think that you're going to do you want the phone and we've
[TS]
01:05:22
◼
►
talked about i just--that's just yeah just the size i mean i i've been i've
[TS]
01:05:26
◼
►
been unhappy with the the size of the 6 and 6s all things considered
[TS]
01:05:31
◼
►
and maybe even like up to again to bring up the year anniversary date up to 13
[TS]
01:05:37
◼
►
months ago I would I wouldn't hesitate i would be waiting in line to get the
[TS]
01:05:41
◼
►
orange phone I've got here I have one on my desk I just keep it here to make me
[TS]
01:05:44
◼
►

[TS]
01:05:49
◼
►
have my iphone 5s right here and now I've got my hand and I'm in love i love
[TS]
01:05:53
◼
►
the way this device filled in my head my big thing sometimes it's sometimes they
[TS]
01:05:57
◼
►
pick up a foreign think man that's really nice to expect to really love the
[TS]
01:06:02
◼
►
feel of this from my thing is with my my vision the combination of I've got one
[TS]
01:06:06
◼
►
bad I and my good eye
[TS]
01:06:08
◼
►
is really running into the mid forties presbyopia and like I need reading
[TS]
01:06:13
◼
►
glasses and so the bigger size of the other one but on the other hand I keep
[TS]
01:06:19
◼
►
thinking to myself I don't run my six in the big screen mode you know me make
[TS]
01:06:26
◼
►
this that ya never never do I and my eyesight's going to so I wonder maybe
[TS]
01:06:31
◼
►
i'll beat you know I'll see last you know but I was always fine with that you
[TS]
01:06:35
◼
►
know like and most of all honestly tell you the truth what I read on the phone
[TS]
01:06:38
◼
►
is Twitter so the fact that you don't see a lot of once it's fine because the
[TS]
01:06:41
◼
►
whole suite is always there and you just sit there and flick your thumb
[TS]
01:06:45
◼
►
yeah yeah dinner what the what the
[TS]
01:06:48
◼
►
the one thing I the one thing I do like about the 6s is health community you
[TS]
01:06:53
◼
►
know apart from the way we talk about the lock screen thing but in general
[TS]
01:06:55
◼
►
it's just crazy fast
[TS]
01:06:58
◼
►
well in this should have the same thing right because it's got even if it's an
[TS]
01:07:01
◼
►
understandably underclocked a9 it still should be way faster than even the
[TS]
01:07:06
◼
►
iphone 6 and I think a lot of the things that the iphone that the a9 makes feel
[TS]
01:07:13
◼
►
fast like you just don't wait for it stuff should all i would guess we'll be
[TS]
01:07:19
◼
►
true on this new phone
[TS]
01:07:20
◼
►
yeah and maybe yeah i mean even if its underclock maybe the smaller screen
[TS]
01:07:25
◼
►
makes up for it
[TS]
01:07:26
◼
►
yeah exactly because there will be fewer pixels to push so some anything that is
[TS]
01:07:30
◼
►
like graphics constrained you know it's going to be easier everything should be
[TS]
01:07:36
◼
►
I'm just holding this phone here and the thing that just it just strikes me is
[TS]
01:07:39
◼
►
there's a reason why I never dropped one of these and i have dropped I haven't
[TS]
01:07:44
◼
►
dropped my suggest I've never dropped my success but I did drop my six last year
[TS]
01:07:48
◼
►
twice to drop some broke both times i have not I have been lucky enough not to
[TS]
01:07:55
◼
►
drop it but I feel uneasy about it all night but this feels like the type of
[TS]
01:08:00
◼
►
phone that you can you know you just walk around anyway you just walk around
[TS]
01:08:03
◼
►
with the phone in your hand you know don't worry about it it's never going to
[TS]
01:08:06
◼
►
me I mean it's you know I think people all everybody has their own set of
[TS]
01:08:11
◼
►
parameters that they want to satisfy and I mean some people would rather have
[TS]
01:08:15
◼
►
a large phone and maybe not have an ipad i mean it seems like there's probably a
[TS]
01:08:20
◼
►
lot of people which is maybe why the iPads and doing is why I think that's a
[TS]
01:08:23
◼
►
huge part of it
[TS]
01:08:24
◼
►
huge part yeah i would rather have a small phone and a big ipad right yeah i
[TS]
01:08:32
◼
►
think that for some people maybe they don't buy ipads because it's again I've
[TS]
01:08:35
◼
►
already got my macbook air or whatever I walk around with all the time but I
[TS]
01:08:40
◼
►
definitely think that that for a lot of people i know i know that's not even
[TS]
01:08:44
◼
►
think I know I've heard from them who their email me they write to me on
[TS]
01:08:46
◼
►
Twitter an awful lot of people who especially the plus users who are like
[TS]
01:08:51
◼
►
this is my ipad you know I read books I don't you know I don't need it I'll and
[TS]
01:08:56
◼
►
it's so great you know and this is an argument we've had ever since there's no
[TS]
01:09:02
◼
►
power book first came out is and it's gotten so much better over the years
[TS]
01:09:06
◼
►
with dropbox and stuff like that but that the trade-offs between having
[TS]
01:09:09
◼
►
multiple devices versus one device right if you've got this one device you just
[TS]
01:09:13
◼
►
know it's already there tonight and for however much the cloud you know for
[TS]
01:09:17
◼
►
dropbox or iCloud documents and all that stuff has gotten easier and it continues
[TS]
01:09:22
◼
►
to get easier you know and I map for email instead of pop for email and all
[TS]
01:09:26
◼
►
these things that keep stuff so that you can keep multiple devices in sync
[TS]
01:09:29
◼
►
if you just have one device you just know it right and you get any inside you
[TS]
01:09:33
◼
►
you almost like you get like that muscle memory if you spend all of your time on
[TS]
01:09:37
◼
►
one device it's like you get faster and faster and you don't even think about it
[TS]
01:09:41
◼
►
yeah used to be used to be a big decision . between whether you got a
[TS]
01:09:48
◼
►
fast laptop or you got like a slow laptop and a fast desktop right right
[TS]
01:09:54
◼
►
yeah yeah used to talk about that on the show in the old days along all the time
[TS]
01:09:59
◼
►
yeah and I really went back and forth and never was like on one side i've done
[TS]
01:10:04
◼
►
it both ways and they were always do was the trade-offs are so complicated and
[TS]
01:10:07
◼
►
and it was so hard to make that decision
[TS]
01:10:12
◼
►
yeah and i feel i'm in for the most part now I've just been relying on old fairly
[TS]
01:10:18
◼
►
fast laptop but not super sexy like you know I went into the kind of this
[TS]
01:10:22
◼
►
problem that i wanted to play fire watch
[TS]
01:10:25
◼
►
and it would not planet doesn't play on my laptop and I didn't have a ps4 her so
[TS]
01:10:30
◼
►
I eventually I had to play it i played on my son's computer so i had a button
[TS]
01:10:35
◼
►
that was the fastest computer and then i had to buy a ps4 yeah I thought about
[TS]
01:10:41
◼
►
that for a long time and then I'll suddenly hit me
[TS]
01:10:44
◼
►
wait i could use pistons computer did you like Firewatch I didn't like finally
[TS]
01:10:49
◼
►
let's come back to move it yeah remind me and yeah i don't think i've talked
[TS]
01:10:53
◼
►
about on the show I talked about it with the Polsky on his show but I didn't talk
[TS]
01:10:57
◼
►
about here I don't think so that it also brings us though to the ipad the new
[TS]
01:11:03
◼
►
iPad pro which is supposedly coming that the replacement i guess or the next
[TS]
01:11:09
◼
►
generation of what we now know is the ipad air scoop government says they're
[TS]
01:11:13
◼
►
going to call it the the ipad pro and then just put like parentheses 9.7 inch
[TS]
01:11:19
◼
►
which in addition to the fact that you know coming government's record is
[TS]
01:11:24
◼
►
pretty good and it's getting closer we get the more likely that these that the
[TS]
01:11:27
◼
►
leaks are accurate i think it it passes the common sense test
[TS]
01:11:32
◼
►
yeah i guess i mean i guess so i mean i don't think i dont it doesnt sound of
[TS]
01:11:38
◼
►
that Apple has every release the product that fails the common sense test
[TS]
01:11:41
◼
►
regarding its name but in this case I think it makes sense that the ipad pro
[TS]
01:11:46
◼
►
is an ipad that you know what are the features of the ipad pro 4 speakers or
[TS]
01:11:54
◼
►
at least you know stereo speakers I think you have to have for that because
[TS]
01:11:57
◼
►
you're you can otherwise you can't turn it around sideways and still have it in
[TS]
01:12:02
◼
►
stereo so you know no more just one big speaker it's four speakers you get
[TS]
01:12:06
◼
►
stereo pencil support
[TS]
01:12:09
◼
►
I don't know what else like the keyboard
[TS]
01:12:13
◼
►
oh yes yes yes and the the little thing on the side the new the Newport for the
[TS]
01:12:17
◼
►
smart keyboard yeah that's the big one right and any ipad that has those things
[TS]
01:12:21
◼
►
is an ipad pro and you just pick which size you want
[TS]
01:12:25
◼
►
yeah i mean if they're putting those things in that it doesn't make it any
[TS]
01:12:29
◼
►
sense to call the ipad air even if it's the same size and you know the other
[TS]
01:12:35
◼
►
argument is just called the ipad
[TS]
01:12:37
◼
►
but then you don't really get that sort of branding effect of like but it's got
[TS]
01:12:43
◼
►
all these other things that go along with the ipad right i think the
[TS]
01:12:46
◼
►
difference and so for example and obviously the macbook shows that Apple
[TS]
01:12:50
◼
►
is willing to just have a you know product that is without a modifier no
[TS]
01:12:56
◼
►
adjectives just the product you know the family name
[TS]
01:12:59
◼
►
I think the difference is that the ipad pro has these flagship features again
[TS]
01:13:04
◼
►
whatever size ipad pro is the big one that we already have or this new one
[TS]
01:13:07
◼
►
that's supposedly imminent but it has the smart Keyboard adapter it has a
[TS]
01:13:12
◼
►
pencil support that these things make it a pro where's the the macbook doesn't
[TS]
01:13:17
◼
►
really have anything except that except it's extraordinary weight and size
[TS]
01:13:22
◼
►
I didn't mean to be that dismissive of it but you know that there's no there is
[TS]
01:13:26
◼
►
no thing that the the macbook does that you you know that you would call a pro
[TS]
01:13:30
◼
►
feature
[TS]
01:13:32
◼
►
no certainly not if anything it's the opposite of me
[TS]
01:13:36
◼
►
not that this is not a bad now that it's a bed so maybe and IMA just saw one for
[TS]
01:13:39
◼
►
the first time I die I did not get like a review unit or anything of that so I
[TS]
01:13:45
◼
►
i've i've never had I've never had used one except in a store and we were in an
[TS]
01:13:50
◼
►
apple store the other day and any saw for the first time so what the hell is
[TS]
01:13:54
◼
►
she obviously didn't really I think she'd heard of it but she really hadn't
[TS]
01:13:59
◼
►
realized like and she said it like but it was it was it was both with disdain
[TS]
01:14:05
◼
►
and kind of like impressed like this is amazing but why would anybody buy this
[TS]
01:14:09
◼
►
thing I just buy an ipad that was her take what people want a keyboard and she
[TS]
01:14:14
◼
►
was with this keyboard sucks and I was like well that's you know that's it
[TS]
01:14:20
◼
►
I our family keep people where where I everybody in the family you're pretty
[TS]
01:14:24
◼
►
hard cookie we're pretty hardcore and on the keyboard
[TS]
01:14:27
◼
►
we're not like that we're not like I I i tried to I mean I've used that keyboard
[TS]
01:14:31
◼
►
and I would easily switch to that keyboard and I would i like that device
[TS]
01:14:35
◼
►
and like the trackpad and I would but I hoping that the next one will be at
[TS]
01:14:40
◼
►
least a little more powerful and and I maybe have have another pie thing that
[TS]
01:14:44
◼
►

pricing on the ipad pro gonna be the new of this new smaller one is it going to
[TS]
01:16:14

meaning that they would and and Tim Cook's apple i mean it is obvious this
[TS]
01:16:25

[TS]
01:17:13
◼

sixteen gigabytes and it's some kind of in a lower price point I i would why
[TS]
01:17:19
◼
►
would be flabbergasted if they don't because it would be so out of character
[TS]
01:17:21
◼

for Tim Cook sample the question now is with the the big ipad pro that one
[TS]
01:17:28
◼

that's already out the 12-inch one the 13-inch whatever it is it starts at
[TS]

◼

with Wi-Fi only or 128 with Wi-Fi and cellular so in some ways it's
[TS]
01:17:56
◼

commendable because it's a lot lot simpler product matrix then a lot of
[TS]
01:18:01
◼

01:18:05

[TS]
01:19:30
◼

I don't know I guess I I would maybe suggest just weird i don't think it's
[TS]
01:19:35
◼
►
like well I mean I clearly I've had some problems but I don't think of no the
[TS]
01:19:39
◼
►
fact that there's an ipad air know and it's easy to get started either like if
[TS]
01:19:44
◼
►
you walk in the store and you don't know which one to buy
[TS]
01:19:46
◼
►
it's easy to get started by saying well which size one do you want and then
[TS]
01:19:49
◼
►
people can start by saying well I just I want this size and then from there it's
[TS]
01:19:53
◼
►
so it's already simplified dramatically and the picking between the colors
[TS]
01:19:56
◼
►
that's that's not a complicated issue and that's just that's easy right that's
[TS]
01:20:01
◼
►
you just know which one you like better and you pick it that doesn't I don't
[TS]
01:20:04
◼
►
count that like if there's three colors available . that is tripling the
[TS]
01:20:08
◼
►
complexity
[TS]
01:20:09
◼
►
I know and then when it comes to I had to be the toughest decision for somebody
[TS]
01:20:15
◼
►
who's getting an ipad is that what do you get the Y fire to get the Wi-Fi and
[TS]
01:20:19
◼
►
cellular that to me is a really tough one and when family members asked me
[TS]
01:20:22
◼
►
advice I don't have a problem with that happen because I mean I because to me I
[TS]
01:20:27
◼
►
would just use tethering right from your phone
[TS]
01:20:29
◼
►
yeah so i don't i never i will never buy it
[TS]
01:20:35
◼
►
I mean I and tell a cellular capable I've had again problem i do i buy them
[TS]
01:20:39
◼

[TS]
01:20:46
◼
►
phones and when traveling that
[TS]
01:20:48
◼
►
oh that can be yeah i can see that i arrived and I should keep track of it
[TS]
01:20:53
◼
►
though i have found though it anecdotally in the last year i have
[TS]
01:20:59
◼
►
that little fewer and fewer times do I need to worry you know that the verizon
[TS]
01:21:04
◼
►
signal at airports and stuff like that is good enough that I don't find myself
[TS]
01:21:08
◼
►
doing that but well I've always found horizons coverage to be better than a
[TS]
01:21:13
◼
►
so if I were to do it i would probably can't even do this would do
[TS]
01:21:17
◼
►
verizon phone which is what I already do and then team yeah i would get at it if
[TS]
01:21:25
◼
►
i get a new I next time i buy an ipad if I do get sailor I'm gonna buy t-mobile
[TS]
01:21:28

oh I maybe we should have tmobile but not in our hands and said that was ever
[TS]
01:22:21

[TS]
01:22:44
◼

eight gigabyte ipad air 2 can they just replace can they do an ipad pro at the
[TS]
01:22:52

9.7 sighs that's in this 500 600 700 dollar range
[TS]
01:22:57
◼
►
I don't know it's I think they want it's a big I think it will be i'm going to
[TS]
01:23:02
◼
►
guess here's my guess and you know it's worth what you're paying for is a
[TS]
01:23:07
◼
►
16-gigabyte ipad pro no I don't think they'll do it i don't think they'll do
[TS]
01:23:15
◼
►
you know you don't think so that if one oh that's right that's right now i know
[TS]
01:23:18
◼
►
that i actually came up with this earlier and I did that misstating I
[TS]
01:23:20
◼
►
thought 32 will start a 32 at six hundred and then it will do 64 at seven
[TS]
01:23:28
◼
►
hundred and then eat her maybe they'll do like the other programs just jump
[TS]
01:23:32
◼
►
right to 128 I don't know that's a big gut that's a big jump though maybe they
[TS]
01:23:36
◼
►
want to have those hundred dollar increments because that jump in that
[TS]
01:23:40
◼
►
jump is 250 bucks so with the the big 13 inch iPad pro it goes from 802 950 if
[TS]
01:23:48
◼
►
you if you go from 30 to 128 so with the current 13 inch iPad pro that jumps from
[TS]
01:23:54
◼
►
800 but i'm gonna skip apples goofy 99 numbering i'm going to add a dollar to
[TS]
01:23:58
◼
►
every price it goes from 802 952 go from 30 to 128 so it's only a hundred and
[TS]
01:24:05
◼
►
fifty dollar gap when you go all the way from 32 to 128 can aid can they go two
[TS]
01:24:12
◼
►
hundred dollars by going 32 64 128 it seems weird that the bigger one could
[TS]
01:24:20
◼
►
could go from 32 to 128 for quote unquote only one hundred fifty dollars
[TS]
01:24:24
◼
►
but then the 9.71 would go in hundred-dollar increments
[TS]
01:24:30
◼
►
I don't think that 9.7 will go well I think maybe it won't go to 128 right
[TS]
01:24:36
◼
►
well they are but the idea will be thrown it will be 30 to 60 know the ipad
[TS]
01:24:40
◼
►
air 2 already goes to 128 you know but that'll get it over with yeah I don't
[TS]
01:24:48
◼
►
know who knows I may be that maybe the simplified just go 32 128 I don't have a
[TS]
01:24:54
◼

hundred and fifty our jump in there and then if you want a 16-gigabyte ipad you
[TS]
01:24:59
◼
►
you just buy the air to right by the air to you know I think pro definitely
[TS]
01:25:04

◼

band and then for my birthday I got a leather band off etsy which actually has
[TS]
01:36:17
◼

some pretty cool pretty cool bands yeah i think one of the reasons that those
[TS]
01:36:21
◼
►
the you know the third party ones from like an Etsy or a small company or so
[TS]
01:36:25
◼

good is that a lot of these people have been making watch straps for a while

[TS]
01:36:34

concerned about you know like as if it send it back if it doesn't fit well we
[TS]
01:36:46
◼

can you can adjust it and so you know it's like there's those that group of
[TS]
01:36:51
◼
►
people who have been doing this for a while who already have like customer
[TS]
01:36:57
◼
►
service right and you know they're good at that stuff
[TS]
01:36:59
◼
►
yeah and i think that the difference between something like an iphone case is
[TS]
01:37:02
◼
►
that you really want an iphone case to be engineered with these incredibly
[TS]
01:37:06
◼
►
accurate tolerances and otherwise it just did you see the hard to get in and
[TS]
01:37:10
◼
►
out of the case or flip you know it just doesn't fit right or whatever wears a
[TS]
01:37:13
◼
►
watch strap isn't really about precise submillimeter perfection around your
[TS]
01:37:20
◼
►
wrist because it's obviously you know even yeah even you yourself your wrist
[TS]
01:37:25

I'm retaining exactly 0 which is usually a.m. but that's mostly uploaded your a
[TS]
01:37:39
◼
►
lot of salty food you know and it's about what makes a watch strap a nice
[TS]
01:37:43
◼
►
watch strap or a bracelet nice bracelet is other things and it's you know how it
[TS]
01:37:46
◼
►
feels and you know subjective things and but you know like the leather ones it's
[TS]
01:37:50
◼
►

[TS]
01:37:53

this little mom-and-pop places on etsy that that just work with leather their
[TS]
01:37:57
◼
►
accounts they're really really good right it's one text a lot of them in
[TS]
01:38:02
◼
►
Texas because they have a lot of take calcium interesting fact
[TS]
01:38:06
◼
►
yeah but the one thing that I've really enjoyed about the watches is in it made
[TS]
01:38:14
◼
►
me think about this compared to every other ones that have ever owned is how
[TS]
01:38:17
◼
►
fast you can change the band yeah because they because I do this because I
[TS]
01:38:21
◼
►
don't want to work out in my leather band but I
[TS]
01:38:23
◼
►
where the apple watch my workout so I just quickly switched back to the floor
[TS]
01:38:28
◼
►
on fluoroelastomer and you know it takes like five seconds it's for you pronounce

01:38:38
◼

no it's true that you know friend for all the pics in pixel all the complaints
[TS]
01:38:42
◼
►
that I have levied against Apple watch the one day is absolutely true the
[TS]
01:38:46
◼
►
brilliance of that switching mechanism and it's you know
[TS]
01:38:49
◼
►
yeah I mean I friend i mean i think all watches should we as it's a lot of the
[TS]
01:38:54
◼
►
you know the people who are the biggest producers of other people coming from
[TS]
01:38:56
◼
►
the watch world where they're like in some ways Apple really say what you want
[TS]
01:39:00
◼
►
about the functionality of the watch itself leave that aside but in terms of
[TS]
01:39:05
◼
►
some certain things like making bracelets in the design and switching
[TS]
01:39:09
◼
►
and stuff like that they just showed that the Swiss industry had been asleep
[TS]
01:39:12
◼
►
at the wheel for decades because they really haven't really you know like the
[TS]
01:39:16
◼
►
top-of-the-line watch strap from 1981 is like indistinguishable from the
[TS]
01:39:21
◼
►
top-of-the-line watchstrap now
[TS]
01:39:22
◼
►
yeah and you need a little tool to be able to switch it and you know there's a
[TS]
01:39:26
◼
►
really good chance that you're going to shoot the little metal spring thing
[TS]
01:39:30
◼
►
across the room when you start to lose it right it's a that's horrible
[TS]
01:39:35
◼
►
or like on a link bracelet on a switch most you know a relaxer amiga or tag
[TS]
01:39:40
◼
►
shower it don't just need a little tool you need like a special screwdriver that
[TS]
01:39:45
◼
►
you actually have to have like you really ought to use like there's a
[TS]
01:39:48
◼
►
certain kind of glue it that you want to put in there when you put it back in you
[TS]
01:39:52
◼
►
like to take a link out to resize it and then you put the screw back and you want
[TS]
01:39:56
◼
►
to put forward to call it's called like loctite or something like that but it's
[TS]
01:40:00
◼
►
like a jeweler's glue that will it's just enough so that it's never going to
[TS]
01:40:04
◼
►
come out when you don't want it but if you eventually want to resize the watch
[TS]
01:40:08
◼
►
again or put the link back in its not so tight that you can't get it out or strip
[TS]
01:40:11
◼
►
the screw it's like perfectly well who the hell has that right so you're just
[TS]
01:40:16
◼
►
to get the thing resize you're off to the jeweler you know your local corner
[TS]
01:40:19
◼
►
jeweler or whatever
[TS]
01:40:20
◼
►
yeah so anyway I don't know what the way what so what they were they were the one
[TS]
01:40:26
◼
►
of the rumors was about a nylon right that they would have an island right
[TS]
01:40:33
◼
►
which I would be very interested in yeah I have a book
[TS]
01:40:36
◼
►
watch with a nylon band very comfortable in my opinion yeah that's what I work
[TS]
01:40:40
◼
►
for years before i got the apple watch so yeah I'm curious to see how Apple
[TS]
01:40:44
◼
►
does the connection to the watch on that one though because i feel like the ones
[TS]
01:40:47
◼
►
that I've seen so far they don't quite look right because it's just the nature
[TS]
01:40:51
◼
►
of the the connector to the watch that they just kind of didn't quite look
[TS]
01:40:56
◼
►
right with just like a a bar sticking out of the bar the bar yeah yeah well
[TS]
01:41:01
◼
►
that's what my I mean that's what my leather one uses in its it's ok but yeah
[TS]
01:41:06
◼
►
but I don't think Apple we have it something with the leather ones at the
[TS]
01:41:09
◼
►
bars don't they don't look at other places with a nylon strap I think his
[TS]
01:41:12
◼
►
letter is typically a little thicker and it it pads out a little and where's the
[TS]
01:41:16
◼
►
nylon ones are you know that makes the bar shoulder yeah yeah yeah it just
[TS]
01:41:21
◼
►
somehow the the interplay between the thickness of the strap material and the
[TS]
01:41:26
◼
►
bar just doesn't seem as right to me
[TS]
01:41:28
◼
►
I don't know how they're going to do it that like what are they going maybe it's
[TS]
01:41:32
◼
►
just you know Jeff Williams comes out and talks about how many you know
[TS]
01:41:35
◼
►
millions of people are using health kid and great new apps from these airlines
[TS]
01:41:40
◼
►
and people are dapple paying with their watch 10 million times a day or whatever
[TS]
01:41:44
◼
►
and then here's some new bands and get off the stage which is sort of I guess
[TS]
01:41:48
◼
►
what he did in September although they also had apple will be you know the OS
[TS]
01:41:52
◼
►
to the apple watch os/2 to show whereas i don't think anybody is expected to
[TS]
01:41:58
◼
►
watch us so no and maybe they have something in secret some secret new
[TS]
01:42:03
◼
►
feature just so they have something in them out but not quite sure it seems
[TS]
01:42:06
◼
►
well new faces would be nice and that seems like something that would be
[TS]
01:42:09
◼
►
simple to do and let's and I that's i'm completely right that's a good idea that
[TS]
01:42:14
◼
►
and start something that's something that if thats and what the version
[TS]
01:42:17
◼
►
number would be watching us 2.1 or whatever that they could be they could
[TS]
01:42:21
◼
►
have been working on in secret and it's you know no surprise that they didn't
[TS]
01:42:25
◼
►
leak is this enough there's my question I keep thinking that after i spent all
[TS]
01:42:30
◼
►
this money to look at every point is it isn't enough to join invited the money
[TS]
01:42:36
◼
►
that you well is you know it's it's a phone that is in I then there's leaks of
[TS]
01:42:45
◼
►
the case too and I think it looks interesting it's an interesting
[TS]
01:42:47
◼
►
combination of the straight sides
[TS]
01:42:49
◼
►
the curves and they got rid of the Sham furred edges and have just like a
[TS]
01:42:52
◼
►
rounded edge seems like an interesting case design but fundamentally
[TS]
01:42:57
◼
►
technology-wise it's a phone that has nothing new right it's a size we've had
[TS]
01:43:02
◼
►
before a basic shape we've had before the camera technology that's you know
[TS]
01:43:07
◼
►
it's beneath the cutting edge of the success and you know a screen that we've
[TS]
01:43:12
◼
►
seen before and a nine stones chip which is great that it's the current model
[TS]
01:43:16
◼
►

[TS]
01:44:26

[TS]
01:48:47
◼
►
video streaming thing but that doesn't seem like that's yeah then that doesn't
[TS]
01:48:51
◼
►
any close to any closer to fruition than it has been for a while now and it
[TS]
01:48:57
◼
►
doesn't seem like something that they would do a town hall and it's again we
[TS]
01:49:02
◼
►
don't know that it's a town hall but all that didn't seem to suggest that it is
[TS]
01:49:06
◼
►
and the fact that everything else is so small would you know reiterate it
[TS]
01:49:10
◼
►
yeah I said before I think I blog don't think I said on the show but if it is a
[TS]
01:49:15
◼
►
town hall
[TS]
01:49:16
◼
►
I think there's a very good chance that this will be the last public event for
[TS]
01:49:20
◼
►
the press that Apple ever holds a town hall because if they stick to last
[TS]
01:49:26
◼
►
year's schedule till the next time we hear from apple will be at WWDC and that
[TS]
01:49:30
◼
►
will be at moscone the next time we hear from them will be in September and
[TS]
01:49:34
◼
►
that'll be a big big big big show in a huge venue because it's going to be the
[TS]
01:49:39
◼
►
new iphone and probably a new Apple watch to point out but anything else is
[TS]
01:49:44
◼
►
going to do this year an iphone one is always a big deal is way too big for
[TS]
01:49:48
◼
►
town hall and then starting last year they didn't have a little small October
[TS]
01:49:54
◼
►
event that the September event was here is everything we've got for the rest of
[TS]
01:49:57
◼
►
the year and privately and from other people I've heard that that was very
[TS]
01:50:01
◼
►
that was not coincidence or circumstantial happenstance in with
[TS]
01:50:04
◼
►
strategy it was doing events September and another one
[TS]
01:50:09
◼
►
even if small in october is too big of a pain in the ass and attitude i would
[TS]
01:50:14
◼
►
think so
[TS]
01:50:14
◼
►
so then that rolls then the next time we hear from them would be march next year
[TS]
01:50:21
◼
►
and by that time
[TS]
01:50:22
◼
►
supposedly the new campus is going to be open right and it seems like if it's
[TS]
01:50:26
◼
►
really close to being open it would be almost criminal to have an event at the
[TS]
01:50:30
◼
►
old campus so you're welcome to our old crappy campus you should take you should
[TS]
01:50:34

[TS]
01:51:24
◼
►
previous statement that i'm interested in how they talk about the camera I'm
[TS]
01:51:26

interested in how they talk about the size you know because it was uh i mean
[TS]
01:51:33
◼
►
they were never able to say starting with the six they were never able to say
[TS]
01:51:37
◼
►
now we have a big phone small phone suck because they've always they've always
[TS]
01:51:43
◼
►
still had the smaller ones in the lineup filling out price points so they
[TS]
01:51:47
◼
►
couldn't really bad-mouthed them but it was also clear that ever since they went
[TS]
01:51:53
◼
►
to the six that the that the smaller phones were years old models that were
[TS]
01:51:58
◼
►
being moved down to different price points as they got older
[TS]
01:52:02
◼
►
whereas now they're coming out with a 4-inch phone that you know they're
[TS]
01:52:06

[TS]
01:52:11
◼
►
it's it is different
[TS]
01:52:13
◼
►
whatever they're going to call it you know in the camera by all accounts is
[TS]
01:52:17
◼

◼
►
it's also definitely knew and it's got cutting you know cutting-edge a nine
[TS]

[TS]
01:52:30
◼
►
4-inch phone with these current specs you'd said something you had written
[TS]
01:52:36

[TS]
02:02:47
◼
►
the game that they are continually playing all the time
[TS]
02:02:52
◼

instead it actually has a story and it was interesting instead of just like

shooting zombies repeatedly but did anybody who's anybody misled i mean i
[TS]
02:03:04
◼

sort of ridiculous situation with this game right because there was someone

who-who wrote a review and i think it was on steam who was hurt
[TS]
02:03:19

02:03:37
◼

you paint the money you like the game and you're thinking about getting so
[TS]
02:03:42
◼
►
high i don't i want to scrupulously avoid spoilers
[TS]
02:03:46
◼
►
I mean the basic gist of the game doesn't spoil anything and it's pretty
[TS]
02:03:48
◼
►
obvious that you play a I don't know what they are and you're not really a
[TS]
02:03:53

forest ranger what do you have fire watch her yeah you're you know you're

to get so I think it's a why you supposed to land and the story unfolds
[TS]
02:04:08
◼

and it is a fascinating to me it's number one it's a beautiful game it
[TS]
02:04:15
◼

02:04:27
◼

have yeah I'm pretty sure that i have so Ali mas worked on setting that the
[TS]
02:04:31
◼
►
graphics of the game to some degree and it really shows the whole team though
[TS]
02:04:36
◼
►
it's just a gorgeous game you just cannot i would watch a short film or not
[TS]
02:04:42
◼
►
short film animated film I'd watch a feature-length film that looked exactly
[TS]
02:04:45
◼
►
like four watch it it's just got a game and just look well I think the thing
[TS]
02:04:51
◼
►
that I like so much about it is how it draws you into the game yeah because it
[TS]
02:04:55
◼
►
starts that doesn't start with any graphics at all it just starts up by
[TS]
02:04:58
◼
►
asking you certain questions about choices that are going to make it except
[TS]
02:05:03
◼
►
that it's all setting up the story it's getting you it's drawing you into the
[TS]
02:05:08
◼
►
story and it's it you're you know by the by the end of answering questions you
[TS]
02:05:16
◼
►
know your your choked up now feel like such often a melancholy frame of mind
[TS]
02:05:21
◼
►
alright and the game is so well written
[TS]
02:05:25
◼
►
it's it really and it's it's not trying to be a movie it's not trying to be a
[TS]
02:05:30
◼
►
choose your own adventure book it's a game and you're playing it and you're
[TS]
02:05:34
◼
►
there and you've got you know like
[TS]
02:05:37
◼
►
just a fundamental difference from like a movie is you know if it takes a long
[TS]
02:05:42
◼
►
time to walk from A to B it takes you a long time to walk for me to be that you
[TS]
02:05:45
◼
►
don't cut you know I mean you cut days out of the adventure but you know it's
[TS]
02:05:50
◼
►
your there and so you've got like this you know first person view that feels
[TS]
02:05:56
◼
►
like you're there it feels that you're doing stuff but it's obviously you're in
[TS]
02:06:00
◼
►
a story that is really well written with some really intriguing characters and
[TS]
02:06:06
◼
►
add incredible acting talent the guy who plays the voice of the the protagonist
[TS]
02:06:15
◼
►
it was the guy from Mad Men and played Harry crane on mad men rich sommer he's
[TS]
02:06:22
◼
►
just tastes terrific he was driven mad men and he's terrific here it's it's a
[TS]
02:06:25
◼
►
really remarkable character and the other characters in the film remarkable
[TS]
02:06:29
◼
►
to and the mystery is truly interesting and it's just done evocative yeah and it
[TS]
02:06:39
◼
►
I mean I hope hopefully for me I mean I hope it leaves enough on the table that
[TS]
02:06:43
◼
►
they'll be something follow yeah I i could not really hope i really hope i
[TS]
02:06:48
◼
►
would I mean I would shell out but we can immediately
[TS]
02:06:52
◼
►
yeah since I figured out that i can play it on my kids computer so it is also a
[TS]
02:06:59
◼
►
little adult i but not well yeah I mean and that was one of my questions I i
[TS]
02:07:06
◼
►
asked cable i was trying to figure out if it was before I put it on my kids
[TS]
02:07:11
◼
►
computer what a picture it was a game he's 12 and in its you know it's it's
[TS]
02:07:19
◼
►
very thoughtful and anything good in a good way
[TS]
02:07:23
◼
►
oops sorry i think in a good way it's thoughtful i mean only I think the only
[TS]
02:07:29
◼
►
thing that some people might object to is there's some swearing into it and it
[TS]
02:07:32
◼
►
there's actually a fair amount of script but but there's not much other than that
[TS]
02:07:36
◼
►
I think that's I think that yeah is bad for a kid no I let Jonas play and I was
[TS]
02:07:42
◼
►
really really interested if he would take to it or not because Jonas his
[TS]
02:07:46
◼
►
other interests involved games like destiny
[TS]
02:07:50
◼
►
and a little bit little bit more action-packed I he I tell you what I
[TS]
02:07:55
◼
►
think and I he took to it immediately not maybe not like the I think maybe
[TS]
02:07:59
◼
►
that like you said the opening works just text may be struck him is weird and
[TS]
02:08:03
◼
►
we were watching together I watched him play when he and and I said well maybe
[TS]
02:08:07
◼
►
the game is loading maybe it's downloading content or something in me
[TS]
02:08:09
◼
►
put up with and does it doesn't take a long time but then once the game started
[TS]
02:08:14
◼
►
I think he was a little skeptical of a game where there's no weapons and or at
[TS]
02:08:18
◼
►
least it doesn't seem like there's any weapons but the graphic quality
[TS]
02:08:21
◼
►
absolutely opened his mind to it because it's like he could see that wow this is
[TS]
02:08:26
◼
►
a good-looking game and he talked about anything he beat the game in the office
[TS]
02:08:30
◼
►
time it took me to beat it
[TS]
02:08:33
◼
►
yeah I finally was and I was not as good at orienteering as I thought it was no
[TS]
02:08:40
◼
►
me neither and Jonas I was that was that was probably buy my most difficult part
[TS]
02:08:44
◼
►
of the game was just like with where the hell am I really needed like a like a
[TS]
02:08:48
◼
►
full-time compass or something like a like a parrot on my shoulder and we want
[TS]
02:08:54
◼
►
to go there were dogs are at this time you should be another like an in-app
[TS]
02:08:59
◼
►
purchase there were times there are a handful too i don't know because I've
[TS]
02:09:02
◼
►
only III and I don't have to sit there and replayed and replayed it so i don't
[TS]
02:09:07
◼
►
know but there are times where you your care and I only this is where your
[TS]
02:09:11
◼
►
character has a walkie-talkie all the time and you can contact and at times
[TS]
02:09:15
◼
►
were where I I called for help like hey where am i and i don't think that
[TS]
02:09:19
◼
►
everybody got their i think i might have been particularly lost and that they
[TS]
02:09:23
◼
►
were there's like a hey if you you know X amount of minutes have gone by where
[TS]
02:09:27
◼
►
you were supposed to do
[TS]
02:09:29
◼
►
why and your this met far away hey why don't you have a call and get a hand it
[TS]
02:09:37
◼
►
but i think i got some help from the game a couple times because I really
[TS]
02:09:42
◼
►
lost it was like one time I came back and I was like I was like oh I found
[TS]
02:09:48
◼
►
another I found another fire Watchtower who never realize it was fine i thought
[TS]
02:09:54
◼
►
i was it not alive but I thought that I was like all the way it like the far
[TS]
02:09:58
◼
►
north of the map like I was all the way north that far into the map
[TS]
02:10:03
◼
►
and the Edit turns out I was right in the middle as I got no wonder I'm not
[TS]
02:10:06
◼
►
finding this anyway I cannot say enough good things about this game i found that
[TS]
02:10:11
◼
►
for 20 bux it was extraordinarily fun to play
[TS]
02:10:16
◼
►
yeah just a remarkable and for those of you who don't know this game it's from a
[TS]
02:10:20
◼
►
game developer called Campo Santo and that they announced a few years ago they
[TS]
02:10:24
◼
►
partnered with our friends at Panik who are a bunch of weird sort of militants
[TS]
02:10:37
◼
►
who rocked occupies a design studio in portland and are in a long-running
[TS]
02:10:44
◼
►
standoff with the federal government that's who i was talking about panic
[TS]
02:10:49
◼
►
related but they're really nice guys that's the difference between Panik and
[TS]
02:10:52
◼
►
some of these other people they are also against the government forcing Apple to
[TS]
02:10:58
◼
►
unlock right there but they're really nice people at panic and they are just
[TS]
02:11:02
◼
►
incredibly obsessive about good design and they've clearly met like their game
[TS]
02:11:08
◼
►
making soul mates in campo santo because the game is so exquisitely detailed just
[TS]
02:11:15
◼
►
little things like did you check out like the some of the books
[TS]
02:11:21
◼
►
yeah you can I turn around there's there's so many little details like that
[TS]
02:11:24
◼
►
i mean i didn't I i need to go back and play it again because I skipped a lot of
[TS]
02:11:29
◼
►
that stuff just to because i was interested in advancing the story so
[TS]
02:11:34
◼
►
when I think there's a whole other layer there because I one of these I did after
[TS]
02:11:38
◼
►
playing the game was I watched a YouTube video by someone who you know spends her
[TS]
02:11:46
◼
►
time playing games and was going into great detail about like speculation
[TS]
02:11:53
◼
►
about things that were not explicitly said in the game and it was very
[TS]
02:12:01
◼
►
interesting I thought I mean I don't think it all of it i mean i'm certain
[TS]
02:12:04
◼
►
that all of it is not what are the odds are all that all that speculation is not
[TS]
02:12:08
◼
►
leading somewhere but a lot of it what are the odds that you could find that
[TS]
02:12:12
◼
►
youtube video and I could put it on
[TS]
02:12:14
◼
►
I i will make that happen one way because I would a like the ones that
[TS]
02:12:19
◼
►
video be I yeah I I would implore everybody watching the listening to the
[TS]
02:12:26
◼
►
don't look at anything else about if you really if you're thinking maybe you want
[TS]
02:12:29
◼
►
to play it just get this game and put it on your Mac get you can get it from
[TS]
02:12:32
◼
►
steam and just play it play it first and then you can watch all you can get it
[TS]
02:12:35
◼
►
from steam for mac or pc and you can get it for ps4 on the PlayStation Store
[TS]
02:12:42
◼
►
can't play it on xbox and last but one way or the other you can play a tyro
[TS]
02:12:47
◼
►
cannot recommend it highly enough i really was blown away and i was
[TS]
02:12:52
◼
►
skeptical just because I just don't play games and that was gonna buy it anyway
[TS]
02:12:56
◼
►
just so I can see what it you know because I know the panic guys I want to
[TS]
02:12:58
◼
►
see it and I'm genuinely curious because the game sounds so unlike any game i've
[TS]
02:13:02
◼
►
ever heard before I just found myself i really liked was compelled to finish
[TS]
02:13:07
◼
►
this game really and I really really felt you know yeah i was i was in almost
[TS]
02:13:14
◼
►
a but not a state of frenzy but like it's not as one of those things right
[TS]
02:13:19
◼
►
like when i read that like when i read the Martian when i read the book the
[TS]
02:13:22
◼
►
Martian I mean I read it and it's of incidents not a long book I mean it's
[TS]
02:13:26
◼
►
not a terribly long game but I was very goal-oriented in trying to defend night
[TS]
02:13:32
◼
►
because I wanted to see what was going to happen and there's no moments when
[TS]
02:13:35
◼
►
you're supposed to feel certain things maybe you feel sad or whatever and I
[TS]
02:13:39
◼
►
really felt really it it's yeah it's just a testimony to the writing and it's
[TS]
02:13:43
◼
►
it to such a great scenario some of the details that details of the thing remind
[TS]
02:13:47
◼
►
me just a little just a little bit like sort of like the way did you watch the
[TS]
02:13:51
◼
►
show lost
[TS]
02:13:53
◼
►
yeah we sort of like la Rionda there'd be like right
[TS]
02:13:56
◼
►
brands brand names or something like that or just the way you know something
[TS]
02:14:00
◼
►
was set up and the way that there was like a mystery and some of those things
[TS]
02:14:03
◼
►
in the mystery might have happened a few years ago and it really reminded me lost
[TS]
02:14:07
◼
►
and in in a in a very very good way like I mean that is nothing but a compliment
[TS]
02:14:12
◼
►
mhm so anyway go puts but better possibly better stress over with the
[TS]
02:14:18
◼
►
overall overall better script and I mean you know I get there are certain
[TS]
02:14:22
◼
►
episodes of loss that bring me to tears
[TS]
02:14:24
◼
►
however they may think you know if you look at the
[TS]
02:14:27
◼
►
mark over all the services they kind of start a more cohesive like lost a
[TS]
02:14:33
◼
►
version of loss that was the length of fire watch might have been the best
[TS]
02:14:36
◼
►
thing ever
[TS]
02:14:40
◼
►
I wonder how good you could do I wonder if you took that off five or six seasons
[TS]
02:14:45
◼
►
of lost and you just edited it down you know to like maybe like 20 total
[TS]
02:14:50
◼
►
operating took out all the two dead eyes just edit it down to about 20 episodes
[TS]
02:14:55
◼
►
you might have one of the best shows ever made
[TS]
02:14:58
◼
►
anyway I cannot wait to see what else these guys come up with i know that
[TS]
02:15:01
◼
►
games take a long time so it will be awhile but boy they really hit it out of
[TS]
02:15:05
◼
►
the park with us and I know that they've had some success i know that they're
[TS]
02:15:08
◼
►

time is obviously a big investment money so I'm happy to hear that but i really
[TS]
02:15:30

[TS]
02:15:39

latter years of his life
[TS]
02:15:44
◼

Roger Ebert was involved in some debate on whether video games could be art and
[TS]
02:15:50
◼
►
he cited on the argument that no they're not are not in a way that movies are and
[TS]
02:15:56

◼
►
he's a little older and you know and part of it is i think that it's it you
[TS]
02:16:05
◼
►
know like any good debater he you know he took a strong opinion because it
[TS]
02:16:09
◼
►
makes for a good argument he wasn't a jerk about it in my opinion you know I
[TS]
02:16:12
◼
►
disagree with them even if someone who doesn't play games but I thought it was
[TS]
02:16:17
◼
►
interesting I this to me i had this thought and I completed fire watch that
[TS]
02:16:21
◼
►
I wish Roger Ebert was still around because i would love ya love to present

fit this game or at least if your version of art it would quality would
[TS]
