◼
►
ninety-minute or bust that we have the title already my room people is to
[TS]
00:00:08
◼
►
complain the show was over an hour and he just gave up on it I got better
[TS]
00:00:13
◼
►
actually because someone was someone recommended iPod guess on Twitter also
[TS]
00:00:17
◼
►
appreciated and which I will add we're record has been broken bits them
[TS]
00:00:21
◼
►
recording with you and I haven't required export all summer we're going
[TS]
00:00:26
◼
►
to record the next episode later to Twitter today so I'm back to testing but
[TS]
00:00:32
◼
►
like oh yeah but the problem is you all those podcast is gone forever the news
[TS]
00:00:35
◼
►
and good editing I spend hours every week editors are five guests to give it
[TS]
00:00:39
◼
►
to an hour
[TS]
00:00:40
◼
►
don't let me in with her I was very close said well I know what they mean
[TS]
00:00:44
◼
►
and I you know it would be a very different show though you know it's it's
[TS]
00:00:49
◼
►
have you heard of this the slack slack variety pack now its new yes lack
[TS]
00:01:01
◼
►
variety pack if he does Google slack for a tea bag you'll find it so it's a
[TS]
00:01:05
◼
►
podcast that slack is sponsoring its not the people who are making it or not
[TS]
00:01:14
◼
►
slack employees but they don't even get names or credit and this is all you know
[TS]
00:01:18
◼
►
this is as as by design but it's so you know it's sort of like the way that like
[TS]
00:01:25
◼
►
I think by the milton berle show like the texaco star hours something like
[TS]
00:01:33
◼
►
texaco something you know so it's just a hard cast with the name the slack
[TS]
00:01:38
◼
►
variety pack and there's very very minimal slack
[TS]
00:01:41
◼
►
promotion in it but it's a cute little 20 minute episode is a series of three
[TS]
00:01:48
◼
►
or four minute very edited like npr style segments NPR for nerds and it's
[TS]
00:01:55
◼
►
really good I did an interview with them for an episode that's coming up probably
[TS]
00:02:00
◼
►
not need me like a month into their like a month ahead or something like that but
[TS]
00:02:05
◼
►
I listened to a few episodes before agreed to do it I was blown away like
[TS]
00:02:08
◼
►
npr very added tightly which is great and I love it and I've subscribed to the
[TS]
00:02:14
◼
►
site for a pack and in theory I could do show that is similarly edited I mean you
[TS]
00:02:20
◼
►
know but I don't think it's because like this ends up being and you put it as
[TS]
00:02:30
◼
►
like the director's commentary for doing fireball which you know is is very
[TS]
00:02:34
◼
►
tightly written and edited so it kinda makes sense that that it's it's the
[TS]
00:02:39
◼
►
opposite and yeah I think both several I mean I mean the talk show is great when
[TS]
00:02:44
◼
►
you're like cleaning house or something and it's i mean now you know we're
[TS]
00:02:48
◼
►
driving driving or walking on you know doing errands now it's exactly to me
[TS]
00:02:55
◼
►
though that those two forms are very traditional in radio where the MBR has
[TS]
00:02:59
◼
►
been in PR has done these tightly edited segments and for those who outside the
[TS]
00:03:04
◼
►
state NPR's national public radio and it's very III would say I think its
[TS]
00:03:12
◼
►
outstanding quality and very well-regarded and you know like shows
[TS]
00:03:17
◼
►
like all things considered
[TS]
00:03:19
◼
►
and what was the show that was what I read last show This American Life is
[TS]
00:03:25
◼
►
organized via that are famous for you know the the quality of the writing and
[TS]
00:03:30
◼
►
broadcasting but also like they're tightly edited and then the other side
[TS]
00:03:34
◼
►
there do not talk radio has been a thing as long as there's been radio and that's
[TS]
00:03:37
◼
►
more like with my podcasts like and most of the podcasts in Iraq and I like it is
[TS]
00:03:43
◼
►
it is funny that I think we we have any discussion every time I'm on because
[TS]
00:03:49
◼
►
you have you message me ninety minutes are busted I think I just replied with
[TS]
00:03:52
◼
►

◼
►

[TS]
00:04:06
◼
►
the emoji the poop probably like the the emoji with like the one eye open in the
[TS]
00:04:14
◼
►
tongue sticking out you've had a busy summer you've been you were travelling
[TS]
00:04:19
◼
►
in the states and now you're back on the other side of the Atlantic the pond what
[TS]
00:04:24
◼
►
we call it Pacific is the big pond out and it's a lot bigger than the Atlantic
[TS]
00:04:32
◼
►
I'm sure that's exactly what I know if in fact I've done it I I know what it
[TS]
00:04:36
◼
►
feels like when you're flying over the site of a particular reform this time
[TS]
00:04:40
◼
►

00:04:59
◼
►

[TS]
00:05:08
◼

[TS]
00:05:12
◼
►
like the one trip all the way in a while and I forgot how brutal was gonna make
[TS]
00:05:17
◼
►
it worse
[TS]
00:05:18
◼
►
our flight going up move forward an hour and a half and are fighting back at the
[TS]
00:05:21
◼
►
way into being 26 hours door-to-door over two hours of the airport's cargo so
[TS]
00:05:27
◼
►
yeah it was it was it was rough kids are awesome I mean they're they're pretty
[TS]
00:05:31
◼
►
experienced at this point but man it was it was hard
[TS]
00:05:34
◼
►
o'hare had been there yet my parents my parents in this weird spot like they're
[TS]
00:05:40
◼
►
just outside Madison but true to the south of Madison where there are enough
[TS]
00:05:45
◼
►
from the Madison Airport close to hear it doesn't make sense to five from
[TS]
00:05:48
◼
►
madison that you have to be to drive two hours ago hair which just adds a whole
[TS]
00:05:53
◼
►
stinking top of the entire endeavor i was thinkin Midway which is
[TS]
00:05:58
◼
►
all midway doesn't make any sense for interview no international yeah I think
[TS]
00:06:04
◼
►
that I hate southwest by thing most of its because in Chicago's only midway
[TS]
00:06:08
◼
►
yeah which is unlike the south side of chicago and it is just awful to get you
[TS]
00:06:12
◼
►
so i i i turn off that it's good for me I've liked it over the years because if
[TS]
00:06:19
◼
►
it's good if you just want to go to downtown Chicago right that's fine and
[TS]
00:06:24
◼
►
and Southwest has tons of flights every day between Fillion and that way so you
[TS]
00:06:29
◼
►
have tons of options and then you get off and walk right over to whatever the
[TS]
00:06:35
◼
►
CTA and you get a card you know put 20 bucks on it and it's like the endpoint
[TS]
00:06:41
◼
►
for the i think is the orange line you don't have to pay attention you just get
[TS]
00:06:44
◼
►
on an orange train in downtown actually pretty good but for anything else to go
[TS]
00:06:49
◼
►
to O'Hare air travel
[TS]
00:06:54
◼
►
it sounds so cliché but like I used to swear off you know i i phone died been
[TS]
00:07:01
◼
►
doing this for thirteen years now and I saw verifying USA North Pacific but I've
[TS]
00:07:06
◼
►
jump fullback in with United basically because they have all their all their
[TS]
00:07:11
◼
►
crossed the plains and I have wifi and power their seats which is it's
[TS]
00:07:16
◼
►
unbelievable what I mean yeah I know the whole life I think has been done because
[TS]
00:07:20
◼
►
they accept satellite wi-fi which works way better than the colo crap and its
[TS]
00:07:23
◼
►
role and it's it's it's stunningly cheaper 60 to $70 and manage it does
[TS]
00:07:28
◼
►
transforms the transforms the whole flight that's my god this is going we're
[TS]
00:07:32

[TS]
00:08:28
◼
►
looking at the go-go options and there are no options to get the service for
[TS]
00:08:34
◼
►
more than an hour other than and the hourly rate was onerous it was really
[TS]
00:08:40
◼
►
expensive other than signing up for a monthly subscription and get in and you
[TS]
00:08:46
◼
►

[TS]
00:08:52

[TS]
00:09:04
◼

criminal but I did have a flight later that month and I knew I was flying at

00:09:08
◼
►
the imposed if you had to be WBC knew it was June and I knew I was flying again
[TS]
00:09:12
◼
►
at the end of June and I thought you know it actually would work out almost
[TS]
00:09:17
◼
►
you know they have 50 bucks isn't that bad so I did it felt so bad but I was
[TS]
00:09:23
◼
►
watching it was so fun so bad but I was watching this woman one row up across
[TS]
00:09:28
◼
►
the aisle from me on her tablet was actually it was interesting for a with
[TS]
00:09:34
◼
►
that thing was a Kindle tablet not an iPad and very unusual for me to see
[TS]
00:09:39
◼
►
people using tablets on you know regular consumer day people using consumers are
[TS]
00:09:44
◼
►
I bet and all she was doing this over and over and over again trying to get on
[TS]
00:09:48
◼
►
the wifi and get the you know just let me pay for wifi for this way and she's
[TS]
00:09:52
◼
►
looking at the options and she's like I could say in choosing reading all the
[TS]
00:09:56
◼
►
fine print and thinking I could see what she was thinking you know that there
[TS]
00:10:00
◼
►
must be some little fine printing like click here to do is get a pass for this
[TS]
00:10:04
◼
►
flight and she confided she spent like 25 minutes what's bad is I mean
[TS]
00:10:11
◼
►
obviously have a monopoly in captive audience on certain stuff no real
[TS]
00:10:15
◼
►
incentive to write decent service
[TS]
00:10:17
◼
►
but the the thing that's kind of nasties I use them a lot when I have trouble
[TS]
00:10:24
◼
►
with Microsoft and so I like a monthly account rewrite that as I experienced
[TS]
00:10:29
◼
►
the council thing but they now if you sign up they opt you into storing your
[TS]
00:10:37
◼
►
credit card with them and you know option to opt out right and so they will
[TS]
00:10:41
◼
►
keep her no matter what and then so i i i body in that I walked in and
[TS]
00:10:46
◼
►
immediately remove my credit card and you say four days later gun return
[TS]
00:10:50
◼
►
flight in a credit card so they're doing without without give you an option they
[TS]
00:10:56
◼
►
actually failed or lied to actually move I told them to ya there there are an
[TS]
00:11:01
◼
►
awful company and other satellite based stuff is so much better I think they're
[TS]
00:11:05
◼
►
watching self-service but yeah I did I i mean there that I the only thing that's
[TS]
00:11:11
◼
►
good about the monthly plan is assumed to give you if you do agree that is $15
[TS]
00:11:15
◼
►
a month thing you can then have your laptop on and get your if you're a
[TS]
00:11:22
◼
►
little way under seat or something and then you get a phone you can get on your
[TS]
00:11:26
◼
►
iPhone and then you go back to your iPad its toll on as opposed to their every
[TS]
00:11:31
◼
►
time you log on with a second device you're logged out of the previous device
[TS]
00:11:34
◼
►
interesting that's nice yeah for sure it will work we we're we're not gonna have
[TS]
00:11:40
◼
►
to any minute things best best thing happens in August last customer service
[TS]
00:11:48
◼
►
experience I've ever had was a Southwest flight out of Midway was one of the sea
[TS]
00:11:55
◼
►
for conferences so it's probably 2007 or 2008 and in Philadelphia subway lines
[TS]
00:12:02
◼
►
are colored and like the blue line runs east west orange line runs north-south
[TS]
00:12:08
◼
►
and there aren't they are in multiple colors on the same track and I knew from
[TS]
00:12:14
◼
►
previous years that to get out to Midway you knew which hotel you go to the
[TS]
00:12:19
◼
►
station go up the steps
[TS]
00:12:21
◼
►
and take an orange train on right and I'll be going the right direction I was
[TS]
00:12:26
◼
►
I remembered it and so is me and another guy who was at the conference actually
[TS]
00:12:30
◼
►
and I see I guess I wasn't I raced up the stairs in there is a train already
[TS]
00:12:35
◼
►
there was a jump into the train I recognize the face from this conference
[TS]
00:12:41
◼
►
also attended didn't know I think he knew I was so i sat down we just started
[TS]
00:12:48
◼
►
talking and you know made quick friends in a great way to pass the time and then
[TS]
00:12:52
◼
►
obviously taking longer than we like we look out the window and it does not look
[TS]
00:13:00
◼
►
anything like what I remember the trip to Midway and it ends up that in chicago
[TS]
00:13:05
◼
►
they have multiple colored trains that take the same this right now she may be
[TS]
00:13:12
◼
►
a was my father might have been that we are going up the steps together and I
[TS]
00:13:14
◼
►
told him quick about it if you're out of the loop yet they're all the same track
[TS]
00:13:22
◼
►
I don't remember this fellow's name but if you're out there listening to the
[TS]
00:13:26
◼
►
remember this I'm very sorry well it turns out we were way out in North
[TS]
00:13:30
◼
►
Chicago and was not a good neighborhood and we asked got off to a cut off and I
[TS]
00:13:39
◼
►
asked at CTM hey what's is there any way we can get a cab and they were like get
[TS]
00:13:44
◼
►
back on the train were you joking like you there are no cabs out here this is
[TS]
00:13:51
◼
►
no caps so that's really in as a few serious that's like the best way nearly
[TS]
00:13:57
◼
►
as the best way for you to get the Midway would be to get back on the same
[TS]
00:14:00
◼
►
trainer just on going the other way all the way back to home to where you were
[TS]
00:14:03
◼
►
and wait for the train he should have done so and doing it I picked up my cell
[TS]
00:14:09
◼
►
phone and call southwest and I'm thinking I
[TS]
00:14:12
◼
►
am screwed I you know and you know during fireball was just barely off the
[TS]
00:14:17
◼
►
ground like you know rebooking for hundreds of dollars more was gonna be
[TS]
00:14:21
◼
►
seriously like meant it was not prepared for a call southwest and tell him and
[TS]
00:14:26
◼
►
and the woman says hi guys have another flight leaving seventy minutes after the
[TS]
00:14:33

00:14:51
◼
►
Southwest like 30 minutes and I went from having an absolutely horrible day
[TS]
00:14:58
◼
►
to having I actually felt better than if I just made my fight that's the thing
[TS]
00:15:02
◼
►
that is the thing about customer service that that there's two things I think
[TS]
00:15:07
◼
►
both customer service knows about like just buying stuff that makes such a
[TS]
00:15:11
◼
►
difference i mean a good service experience can actually make something
[TS]
00:15:16
◼
►
better than it was originally given a broken product isn't like that I had to
[TS]
00:15:20
◼
►
do the united to the

◼
►

pretty great as a free for endorsement the problem with Windows in this is kind
[TS]
00:29:25
◼

of counter-intuitive was the absurd situation application situation like the
[TS]
00:29:29
◼
►
third party apps just all socked obviously the Microsoft apps were good
[TS]
00:29:34
◼

00:29:40
◼

focus or more like a Twitter app like just all this like basic stuff the map
[TS]
00:29:48
◼

was even back in back then was cool but was so much better than then the window
[TS]
00:29:55
◼

situation where everything at best you could find something third party would
[TS]
00:29:59
◼
►
be super ugly you know just look like crap and then have like the
[TS]
00:30:03
◼

modernization would be weird that so actually the biggest problem I had with
[TS]
00:30:08
◼
►
using windows not windows it was not having a fab switches which at the time
[TS]
00:30:13
◼

I told some people that they like toys Ono that's the big advantage has but
[TS]
00:30:17
◼

even by then for a consumer sort of I was a bit but for personal app usage the
[TS]
00:30:25
◼

situations was pretty dire even then it obviously it's only gotten worse since

utility you know i kind of I don't I don't use any third-party utilities for
[TS]
00:30:53

00:30:58
◼

the stock stuff it's kinda hard when she used to use this napping stuff it's it's
[TS]
00:31:07

aspects of Windows 8 Windows Explorer out like the actual file management that
[TS]

right or you can like cut and paste like just and I think it's one of those
[TS]
00:32:10

things where it where if you're always used to them finder you would think it
[TS]
00:32:16

[TS]
00:32:40

who like the old finder and special finder without it seems to meet tend to
[TS]
00:32:45

be more mouse centric in their users of the computer it would get a fair

00:32:53

user interface design over at lower level you know Mac OS had problems and

00:35:47

it was showing its age but I would say 1995 it wasn't quite in the area I would

say at that point there were still advantages to be had by having an

00:35:55

operating system that was so low to the ground then there are the memory wasn't
[TS]
00:36:01

mean it like that right what I think it's it speaks to how good the user fees
[TS]
00:36:06
◼

was that I mean I mean what Apple died but the fact that they didn't die speaks
[TS]
00:36:12
◼

to how good it was because the reality is on almost every conceivable metric or
[TS]
00:36:17
◼

feature angle I mean the Mac was pretty hopelessly behind and performance
[TS]
00:36:23

yeah that was really I think that by 96 97 it was the fact that the operating
[TS]
00:36:32
◼

system was so crafty under the hood
[TS]
00:36:35
◼

memory was all shared was definitely a problem that they knew and as why did
[TS]
00:36:42

you know that it came to a head that way but next but the machines of the time

00:36:46

pretty stable experience the thing that really kind of did that and were web

browsers it was even the good ones at the time had a tendency to really lock

00:37:22

they're all running in the same memory spaces everything else it was more or
[TS]
00:37:26

less like people were making their own operating system but it's a long story
[TS]
00:37:31
◼

yeah we're doing everything we can to do not meet you mentioned before let's talk
[TS]
00:37:42
◼
►
about the topic engine I i think that among the top problems with alcohol
[TS]
00:37:49
◼
►
wipes now lo these many months in I think the tactic engine is one of the
[TS]
00:37:54
◼
►
top problems and probably the only a hardware problem while no I guess I have
[TS]
00:37:58
◼
►
a second hardware problem I have a list of three top Apple watch problems and
[TS]
00:38:02
◼
►
one of them is the tactic engine which I don't think is good enough yeah i i with
[TS]
00:38:07
◼
►
interesting and i think that arguably the killer feature of the watch that
[TS]
00:38:12
◼
►
that was what I miss the most when I was in how the watch for three days was back
[TS]
00:38:17
◼
►
to buzzing in my pocket like that was really annoying and so yeah I think the
[TS]
00:38:24
◼
►
fact that it's a hardware problem is magnified by the fact that it's so I
[TS]
00:38:28
◼
►
think central to the value that the device does does provide arms which to
[TS]
00:38:34
◼
►
me is all about is the notifications in some applications arm I have said for a
[TS]
00:38:39
◼
►
long time and maintained that it was a mistake to wash his hybrid apps like you
[TS]
00:38:43
◼
►
know I think they disproven user experience but the tactic engine is
[TS]
00:38:47
◼
►
great except for the fact that
[TS]
00:38:48
◼
►
at a standstill miles it seems to be failing for a lot of people yeah I think
[TS]
00:38:57
◼
►
that it you think that's true there's a lot of them in stainless steel that was
[TS]
00:39:01
◼
►
what my my review you know about that's what I mean based on responses I posted
[TS]
00:39:06
◼
►
my feeling I got quite a few responses in seem to be all stainless steel models
[TS]
00:39:13
◼
►
that were having problems and if you remember i think is a standstill miles
[TS]
00:39:16
◼
►
over the most delayed to getting out the door
[TS]
00:39:19
◼
►
remember there is the story about like one supplier of tapping engines you know
[TS]
00:39:23
◼
►
they had bad ones so I seems to have been there seems to be some sort of
[TS]
00:39:30
◼
►
common thread here involving stainless steel models in the template engine and
[TS]
00:39:34
◼
►
there being a problem I think I think that there's too many people who had
[TS]
00:39:39
◼
►
them fail maybe not so much that it really hurts the platform but it's it's
[TS]
00:39:44
◼
►
obviously a problem and I think even in 12 don't fail it's not good enough and I
[TS]
00:39:51
◼

could be wrong as it was one afternoon eleven months ago almost 11 months ago
[TS]
00:39:58
◼
►
now when I first got to see that the prototype pre-production Apple watches
[TS]
00:40:05
◼
►
that they had at the event last year you know six months before they actually
[TS]
00:40:09
◼
►
ship but what I recall from the ones I got to put on my wrist there that tactic
[TS]
00:40:14
◼
►
sensation was better and it wasn't it was just it was just more satisfying it
[TS]
00:40:21
◼
►
felt more like a tap whereas this and more like something that you couldn't
[TS]
00:40:26
◼
►
miss like they the ones that they had a year ago just seemed to me like they had
[TS]
00:40:31
◼
►
hit the sweet spot between your not gonna miss this but this isn't going to
[TS]
00:40:36
◼
►
start all paranoid
[TS]
00:40:39
◼
►
was just it was very humane is the best way that I could put it in the way that
[TS]
00:40:45
◼
►
if I would if I were standing behind you and you were talking to somebody
[TS]
00:40:48
◼
►
needed to get your attention I could tap you on the shoulder in an appropriate
[TS]
00:40:51
◼
►
way depending on the urgency of the matter is this seriously an emergency I
[TS]
00:40:57
◼
►
could you know I would have you more aggressively if it was just i I do hate
[TS]
00:41:02
◼
►
interrupt but i just want to let you know I have something for you I would
[TS]
00:41:04
◼
►
tabula certainly and show you could interpret that watches I remember from
[TS]
00:41:09
◼
►
September just sort of had that I really thought this this is a huge aspect of
[TS]
00:41:14
◼
►
that then where's the watch I we're now I just I do miss tops I don't think I am
[TS]
00:41:21
◼
►
afraid I know that it's not defective white with the defective tactic engine
[TS]
00:41:26
◼
►
it just isn't that great and I feel like it needed to be where it needs to be
[TS]
00:41:31
◼
►
like it's one of those things that the next generation they're gonna figure
[TS]
00:41:34
◼
►
something out to do it better
[TS]
00:41:37
◼
►
yeah I think the it's interesting I think my new watch actually I feel it's
[TS]
00:41:40
◼
►
not as good as my original I first got it again it's hard to measure your going
[TS]
00:41:44
◼
►
based on memory yeah but the way it failed was it went from think it tapped
[TS]
00:41:50
◼
►
to fill a vibration like so it was getting loose or something and so in the
[TS]
00:41:55
◼
►
end that had less of a sense of the tapping on your wrist as opposed to
[TS]
00:42:01
◼
►
being a very distinct out and I do think my new one well it's tighter than the
[TS]
00:42:05
◼
►
one that was failing it still feels more by Brady then like a tap that that I
[TS]
00:42:11
◼
►
recall recalls my web watch first gotta reviews from the event also but yeah i i
[TS]
00:42:19
◼
►
think that yeah it's interesting I I was curious if the smart ones are different
[TS]
00:42:26
◼
►
for the sport ones are different but if it's my favorite feature so hopefully
[TS]

Applewhite free after charging damn watch every night and that can be a

problem but it's it when it works it seems like that's all I can handle this
[TS]
00:50:44

this what you know but that's that's not my problem right
[TS]
00:51:35

you know if you spent $1000 on an Apple watch the fact that bluetooth is very
[TS]
00:51:39
◼

difficult to program and has all sorts you know whatever not your problem it
[TS]
00:51:44

sometimes take it just says they're right next to each other and not often
[TS]
00:52:20

not often but like it was just a week or two ago but her phone and a watch she

00:52:24
◼

isn't running any beta software on anything she's not running OS papers but
[TS]
00:52:29

cherry red right next to each other and getting them to see each other again
[TS]
00:52:38
◼

it's the best thing we could figure out to do was to reset her watch and then
[TS]
00:52:45
◼

restore it
[TS]
00:52:46
◼

repair it restore from the backup that she had on the phone it just seems like

00:52:52
◼

something you should never have to do
[TS]
00:52:53

think Apple problem I think that they're aware of this cuz i think thats how high
[TS]
00:53:38

their aspirations are but all these little fiddly little problems are fine
[TS]
00:53:42

for something like the pebble that's aimed at a certain sort of people who

you know charges people do you know this sort of finicky trying to get one piece
[TS]
00:53:57

of technology to talk to another is just what we're used to and that's acceptable
[TS]
00:54:00

I think that Apple has raised the bar with so many other things in their
[TS]
00:54:06
◼

ecosystem and with the pricing that they charged and the sort of you know
[TS]
00:54:13

consumer accessible luxury message that they're putting forth that's it's just
[TS]
00:54:19

not acceptable it's interesting wrinkle I will say the beyond the applet again I
[TS]
00:54:25

think I i feel like the fact that it shipped these hybrid apps was very
[TS]
00:54:31

concerning to me as well as well as a whole

that and I don't get that from the apparatus stainless steel with this team
[TS]
00:55:14

is still bad you know it's you know relatively high model but it definitely
[TS]
00:55:18
◼

well I absolutely think that it works a lot better than
[TS]
00:55:23
◼

the impeachment watches agree disagree it still feels pretty geeky and not not
[TS]
00:55:32
◼

like a luxury item even if it's the qualities nice the workmanship is nice I

00:55:36
◼

miss not having that luxury item and i know im wearing it anyway I'ma geek in

life issues even the flying that trip you don't know if no problem as far as
[TS]
00:56:25

battery life goes it is surely if you don't do a workout it is get out I find
[TS]
00:56:32

that it's half great for traveling and half terrible for traveling and I'm not
[TS]
00:56:37

sure interesting so like I i do think that the directions are pretty grade I
[TS]
00:56:45

00:57:07
◼

it for little things like as convenient as it is if a boarding pass on the watch
[TS]
00:57:12

in a way like you said with passbook that it just comes up like knows you're
[TS]
00:57:15

at the airport and just comes out good how many especially your traveling with

times your arms are full or you just don't feel like digging through it's
[TS]
00:57:25

and you wait and they come around and get your tickets and so instead of
[TS]
00:57:42

having to sit there with her ticket our fish in your pocket or something they
[TS]
00:57:45

Apple watches was just too much especially if you are staying in a hotel
[TS]
00:58:21
◼

room that doesn't have many outlets are ya
[TS]
00:58:25
◼

most hotels even you know when I get is probably a factor of eight but you know
[TS]
00:58:28
◼
►
even that at two major hotels its heart the one we're at Disney add additional
[TS]
00:58:34
◼

problem where it was sort of a lot of the sockets they were loose and so like
[TS]
00:58:38
◼
►
sometimes you don't have a charger and then it wouldn't but inside the three so
[TS]
00:58:42
◼

we did have a tangle of these white cables and it took you just look for a
[TS]
00:58:46
◼

lightning or what happened to be the one day as I had attached it to the thing
[TS]
00:58:52
◼

and I went to bed in the morning and it was dead
[TS]
00:58:56
◼

sort of thing and it wasn't plugged in then it was rain it was just an
[TS]
00:59:01
◼

unplugged in charger and I was like you know what that would put this away where
[TS]
00:59:06
◼

ya no that's definitely that's definitely a good point I think it's
[TS]
00:59:11
◼

kind of a one that when those ones that will never go away it does it gives me
[TS]
00:59:18
◼

his the outside the anxiety a get is then when I don't wear and we're at the

get any points to beat the game vacations working against you yes

[TS]
00:59:43
◼
►
notifications off the the i would tell you the our notification to stand up is
[TS]
00:59:50
◼

really irritating when you're on a plane by Esteban haven't turned off out of
[TS]
00:59:55
◼
►
some misguided notion that this is gonna you know the area would be bad for my
[TS]
01:00:00
◼

health to turn it off even though I never listened to it but I think I've
[TS]
01:00:08
◼

talked about this on the show before I think that and again I say this knowing
[TS]
01:00:12
◼

that famous last words is trying to tell some engineer what seems like it should
[TS]
01:00:17
◼
►
be easy to my guess it should be easy but it seems to me like it should be
[TS]
01:00:21
◼
►
possible for the watch to make a very educated guess that you are on an
[TS]
01:00:26
◼
►
airplane is it in knows when you're at an airport and its good point right and
[TS]
01:00:34
◼

especially if it knows that it has a passbook or called in I was nine wallet
[TS]
01:00:41
◼

and tree for a flight and it knows what time the flight is and if they can
[TS]
01:00:48
◼
►
somehow I guess it doesn't happen all altimeter right but there ought to be
[TS]
01:00:55
◼
►
some it just seems to me like there ought to be some kind of way that it can
[TS]
01:00:59
◼
►
figure out that you're probably on a plane and maybe it could even ask you
[TS]
01:01:02
◼
►
may be the key to even say are you going to be on a plane
[TS]
01:01:04
◼
►
when are you getting on this flight and then not ask you for that I have to
[TS]
01:01:08
◼
►
admit that that is I find that to be terribly annoying too because especially
[TS]
01:01:11
◼
►
in this you know second third fourth hour flight when you're really starting
[TS]
01:01:16
◼
►
to get antsy and you're like I just got them playing we get to where it's going
[TS]
01:01:19
◼

and then your watches like stand-up move around and say screw you I'm so when I
[TS]
01:01:26
◼

get your second third fourth hour characterization
[TS]
01:01:30
◼
►
after my my 13 hours yesterday to Lake the the standing indicator light can't
[TS]
01:01:37
◼

figure out whether actually standing or not either he just goes at the fed to
[TS]
01:01:41
◼

miss the hour no matter what
[TS]
01:01:43
◼
►
which is good just kind of annoying when you're walking around it taps on the
[TS]
01:01:46
◼
►
risk to stand up that's what seems that's weird though sometimes it seems
[TS]
01:01:51
◼
►
to know that you have been standing and it doesn't show it to you I don't get it
[TS]
01:01:54
◼
►
every every hour and 50 minutes I who knows maybe maybe maybe I don't but
[TS]
01:02:01
◼

there are some times when I am up and I and then it anyway that's the top
[TS]
01:02:08
◼
►
complained about the airport yeah I think that is where I i for the record
[TS]
01:02:15
◼

remain remain pretty bullish on it just because I think you know the the arc the
[TS]
01:02:21
◼

architect is interesting is even when all these apps are coming I'm still a
[TS]
01:02:25
◼

little skeptical about the apt situation I think I'm a citizen the show
[TS]
01:02:28
◼

previously that you know kind of what matters on for one area doesn't as a
[TS]
01:02:33
◼

matter of the next one just absurd matter on the phone I don't think it's
[TS]
01:02:36
◼
►
necessarily a matter for the watch where I think the watch remains super
[TS]
01:02:41
◼

compelling is as a way to interact with the world around you you know and like
[TS]
01:02:47
◼

when you can start your car with their unlocked doors with it or or identify
[TS]
01:02:52
◼

yourself with it that's when it's it's becomes just a must have
[TS]
01:02:56
◼

and really transformed what you do in the meantime like I've been very pleased
[TS]
01:03:01
◼

with the notification stuff and yeah I just wish that I was with that Apple
[TS]
01:03:08
◼

they just intercepted at all but i said i four times and you haven't taken the
[TS]
01:03:12
◼

bait yet so i know i mean i i I even asked her about it
[TS]
01:03:17
◼

in the live show you know was you know what was the thinking if you knew your

01:03:21

gonna have this fuller St cages too few months later even oh yes announcing it

01:03:27

01:03:38

people would be there be some jackass out there writing articles in having

01:03:42
◼

written them all summer that Apple watches dead because it doesn't have any
[TS]
01:03:45

third party software but in the grand scheme of things it would have only gone
[TS]
01:03:50
◼

five months without rate without saying something is like in in other reviews
[TS]
01:03:56
◼

would have during the Apple watch for it but like all but of course it will be
[TS]
01:03:59
◼
►
rectified soon like that's a very different than like the watch is slow
[TS]
01:04:04
◼

because I if you don't interact with the absent all the watch in my estimation is
[TS]
01:04:09

perfectly acceptable and the new Apple that's not quite so secretive that Apple

01:04:14

that had Jeff Williams at recode conference in late may just say that he

01:04:39

the line I think that that Apple today's Apple could have also said at the exact

01:04:46

same event you know maybe a tree code that yes we are working on an SDK for
[TS]
01:04:50

Apple watching will have you know stay tuned for WBC next month right you know
[TS]
01:04:55
◼

i i actually agree it could have come out you know and even could have come
[TS]
01:04:59

out maybe it could have even come out at the when they had the event in March
[TS]
01:05:03

where you know the second event where they you know she did the things and

01:05:06

even said you know and you know state to know BC

helpful roles like their version ones are supposed to be under under featured

like there's there's there's a there's two things that are a product of a

measure on one is the features but the other one is is like how done it is

01:05:50

features that are their work perfectly and you like what Apple's always been

good at is yes well this is a version 1 it's going to be missing a lot of stuff
[TS]
01:05:59

but whatever is there's gonna work really really well remember the iPhone
[TS]
01:06:02

one like that that is arguably the most stable iPhone of all right i mean that

01:06:06

that thing was was incredible for what it was even though it was missing all

kinds of white basic stuff you know

copy and paste and all that although we cannot name but was there worked
[TS]
01:06:21

perfectly
[TS]
01:06:22

better in general in Apple's might have to ship without a featured all been to

ship with a crappy version of the feature exactly exactly in and that's

like they took somebody who knows maybe everybody was in agreement and it wasn't
[TS]
01:07:00

a fight about it but it seems to me like something that maybe was an internal
[TS]
01:07:04
◼

debate that there were had to be some people
[TS]
01:07:07
◼

who thought the same thing we do and it makes me think that the faction that one
[TS]
01:07:12

out and shipped it to the wrong lesson from the iPhone because famously we know
[TS]
01:07:20
◼

that in hindsight famously with the original iPhone it didn't ship with a
[TS]
01:07:25

SDK and I don't think it would have under any circumstances even if the

01:07:30

whole company was a unanimous that we need to have apps for this thing back in

01:07:36

2007 @ still wouldn't happen because the OS was still they didn't they weren't

ready to have public API and that's one thing Apple's always or at least the
[TS]
01:07:44
◼

next side of Apple even actually the non ex I think it's been pretty good about
[TS]
01:07:49
◼

over the years is that they you know once they publish API's they're pretty
[TS]
01:07:53
◼

you know pretty good about supporting them going forward until their
[TS]
01:07:57
◼

deprecated they don't really change things like that but famously you know
[TS]
01:08:03
◼

there are people in jobs was on that side of it that really thought that they
[TS]
01:08:08
◼

didn't need ups this you know we can do all the apps you need it would more or
[TS]
01:08:13
◼

less be like what Apple TV has been up till date we're not that they wouldn't
[TS]
01:08:16
◼

have new apps going forward but they would be things like the YouTube app or
[TS]
01:08:20
◼

they would do them in partnership with somebody else and that if maybe if there
[TS]
01:08:24
◼

was a Netflix app two years later Apple would write the Netflix app and put it
[TS]
01:08:29
◼

on the phone in with API help from Netflix and stuff like that that they
[TS]
01:08:33
◼

could just do it all themselves and have does he know couple of dozen apps and
[TS]
01:08:40
◼

that the other side was no we should never happen and they looked at how this
[TS]
01:08:45
◼

when and how the App Store was so has now become so essential to the success
[TS]
01:08:49
◼

of the iPhone and the iPad and just blindly said therefore we need to do
[TS]
01:08:57
◼

this for the watch and we need to have it right away I agree yeah I use I use
[TS]
01:09:06

overcast sometimes but that's about it I tried the I tried the SPG you are a
[TS]
01:09:15
◼

keyless entry by the I it was too much hassle going to be out quick in like it
[TS]
01:09:24
◼

would work better if they had like a beacon or something so came up
[TS]
01:09:26
◼

automatically that would be awesome in so that's gonna be like my whole vision
[TS]
01:09:30

about your watch do stuff for you it was great to watch his great double double
[TS]
01:09:36
◼

click it and do it it needs to be that easy to have you watched interact with
[TS]
01:09:40
◼

the environment actually only open up the app screen find the SPG app open it
[TS]
01:09:45
◼

quick to unlock key I get a multi-step process that was totally not worth it
[TS]
01:09:51
◼
►
on the phone on the phone the phone work great because made it to the phones
[TS]
01:09:55
◼

batteries to open the app but other than that I haven't touched at all
[TS]
01:10:03
◼

longtime yeah I very seldom go back to that app screen and just for example 822
[TS]
01:10:10
◼
►
time this ninety-minute episode the talk-show wanted to run the timer on my
[TS]
01:10:13
◼
►
watch and the way I wrote I'm sure is I know that there are over from the left
[TS]
01:10:18
◼
►
is the chronograph watch face and i cant which I love for doing timing because I
[TS]
01:10:24
◼
►
just don't have to launch anything there's a button right there on the
[TS]
01:10:27
◼
►
watch face that starts a stopwatch
[TS]
01:10:30
◼
►
no i i i i put I Marion Ave timer and alarm on my watch face and those are
[TS]
01:10:36
◼

that's what I used by far the most applications in they work well because
[TS]
01:10:41
◼
►
their native to the watch that there's no there's no wagon using them they were
[TS]
01:10:45
◼
►
they were quickly yeah so it will be a long night I think that we'll see what
[TS]
01:10:55
◼

happens this version 2 outside I'll be interested to see which ones
[TS]
01:11:00
◼

breakthrough you know what i was gonna stop I was gonna move to a new topic but
[TS]
01:11:05
◼

the other thing I knew I wanted to say something so great he said that is that
[TS]
01:11:08
◼
►
I'm thinking this is my hunch
[TS]
01:11:11
◼
►
can't I don't have concrete examples but my hunch is that the third party he
[TS]
01:11:18
◼
►
isn't the app like the the delivery whether it's technically in code that in
[TS]
01:11:24
◼
►
a.a bundle but the concept of a nap but faces a user and in iowa's parlance a
[TS]
01:11:32
◼
►
nap is the thing that is an icon on the home screen and you launch it and then
[TS]
01:11:36
◼
►
it gets the whole screen and then you interact with it until you hit the home
[TS]
01:11:39
◼
►
button go back to the home screen allows for Babs and Apple white house that they
[TS]
01:11:45
◼
►
have this thing full of absentee luncheon and takes over this I think I
[TS]
01:11:48
◼
►
just think it's the wrong word metaphor
[TS]
01:11:52
◼
►
package to me what's interesting and what works best from third parties right
[TS]
01:11:58
◼
►
now are the notifications and the ones that are smart and that you can tap and
[TS]
01:12:03
◼
►
get a list of buttons they give you options to do things like that I use for
[TS]
01:12:08
◼
►
certain reminders and I have you have you tried to look yet from Microsoft
[TS]
01:12:12
◼
►
email client now they have an excellent Apple Logic actually for that exact
[TS]
01:12:16
◼
►
reason you get notification email you scroll down and there is archived we do
[TS]
01:12:21
◼
►
a little later like whatever whatever the actions you wanna do on an email and
[TS]
01:12:25
◼
►
yeah it's always an occasion later into actually that is actually an application
[TS]
01:12:29
◼
►
that I use even though I never actually launch the application right you're not
[TS]
01:12:33
◼
►
really using it in the apt metaphor you using it in this notification metaphor
[TS]
01:12:37
◼
►
and you don't have people who put that together aren't writing all absurd to
[TS]
01:12:41
◼
►
say okay after this notification here is the list of the actions we want to
[TS]
01:12:46
◼
►
present and then you do these actions and yes they've written a peres code
[TS]
01:12:49
◼
►
that when you say archive nose and tells the app ok take that email message and
[TS]
01:12:54
◼
►
move it to the archive folder but it it from the user doesn't feel like using an
[TS]
01:12:59
◼
►
app and the other thing that I think might be a big deal
[TS]
01:13:02
◼
►
watch watch OS 2.0 our third-party complications yes being able to put
[TS]
01:13:10
◼
►
those complications on your watch faces I think could be a real step up in
[TS]
01:13:16
◼
►
within a month or two everybody's gonna be like I can't believe we live without
[TS]
01:13:19
◼
►
this I've got my favorite thing you know he scores right here or whatever your
[TS]
01:13:25
◼
►
favorite thing again again again that's not really that's not an app it's not
[TS]
01:13:30
◼
►
using it as an apt using it is this little thing my face that you can tap
[TS]
01:13:35
◼
►
and launch the app that you don't really think of it that way I think in
[TS]
01:13:40
◼
►
indicating the hearing is all of them are are in this weather watches
[TS]
01:13:46
◼
►
compelling is the degree to which it integrates with like the external world
[TS]
01:13:51
◼
►
as opposed to being like all include into an app like a nap on the phone what
[TS]
01:13:56
◼
►
makes the phone amazing is the phone anywhere you go you're connected to
[TS]
01:13:59
◼
►
internet and all apps as your you've read about it unlike you have the web
[TS]
01:14:03
◼
►
you know HTTP is thriving even if WWE is you know kind of a decline in mobile and
[TS]
01:14:13
◼
►
if you that's what makes the phone remarkable is the way it keeps you
[TS]
01:14:16
◼
►
connected to the internet everywhere but that that implies a different user
[TS]
01:14:21

01:14:29
◼

your the New York Times whatever whatever it might be
[TS]
01:14:32
◼
►
whereas the watch them with a complication what what it's doing is
[TS]
01:14:35
◼
►
that complication is putting the information into you like your external
[TS]
01:14:40
◼
►
world or the notification of interrupting what you're doing now and
[TS]
01:14:44
◼
►
and the context they are operating in is not contained within the device it's
[TS]
01:14:49
◼
►
like your world context and I think that hints that why why I'm still both on the
[TS]
01:14:54
◼
►
watch and why I think you know in the long run this will be not just a luxury
[TS]
01:14:58
◼

but but more much more of a must-have device is the degree to which will let
[TS]

you integrate computing with everything around you

with obviously there was a smokin think there'd be fire there's two possible
[TS]
01:21:37

outcomes here one is that Apple produces like a normal car which i think they

about the long-term trajectory of the car market particularly the rise of

car ownership is likely to decline which seems odd to watch into that the other
[TS]
01:22:00
◼

options do the self-driving car which i think is you know he is certainly the
[TS]
01:22:04

directory but then I questioned Apple competence in employing office off

driving car which seems to fit much more googles strength particularly the with

car he contested I'm not sure that holds though because I think Apple definitely

like that they're working on but that it's not really a self-driving car

doing that before they have the self-driving aspect down and then do you

know and then come out with up to come out with a self-driving car at the same

didn't make sense for them to wait until 2008 to ship the first one the one that

is shipped in 2007 was totally worth shipping did I think I'll be told they

were doubtful if they could shipping a car in 2020 that is sort of traditional

in terms of how you drive it and doing a self-driving car 2025 that's that I like

that that make sense in being because I they're still clearly a significant

dangerous for me to walk around so now I've got them written down but I've got

three reasons why they make sense for Apple why Ms financial cars are

expensive and they are big business there are millions of cars sold in the

general business to be in

happening moved to electric drivetrains and stuff like that

power power sources and the way that dr dre interchanging based on and self

driving as in other areas I guess it's unrelated I guess you could ever stop

01:27:51

driving a car that runs on gasoline and you can certainly have a self-driving

but that's too big areas though weathers enormous disruption and so it's time you
[TS]
01:28:03
◼

know the market is obviously going to change in the car markets gonna look a

01:28:07
◼

lot different than 20 years now and that's not necessarily true now from

01:28:11

where it was twenty years ago right the pop top carmakers today are pretty much
[TS]
01:28:15
◼

the same ones top carmakers twenty years ago and cars are technically very very
[TS]
01:28:20
◼

similar I don't think that's going to be true twenty years so it's a good time to
[TS]
01:28:24
◼

get in and they get to a point on that when computers come into a new market
[TS]
01:28:34
◼

and there's the old standbys and then there's the computer companies its the
[TS]
01:28:42
◼
►
computer companies it seemed to do better building the new the old then
[TS]
01:28:47
◼

then the old thing makers are computerizing there things so yeah it's
[TS]
01:28:55
◼

a dream is a perfectly built these phones and pagers and all of a sudden it
[TS]
01:29:02
◼

got to a point where these things could be real computers and all that sort of
[TS]
01:29:06
◼

an arbitrary distinction saying that you know today's smartphones are real
[TS]
01:29:09
◼

computers in the rim models from ten years ago or not but I I stand by it and
[TS]
01:29:16
◼

that companies like Apple were better at making phones even if the famously don't
[TS]
01:29:23
◼

like the first phone dropped calls whether that was a tease falter Apple's
[TS]
01:29:27
◼

fault whatever
[TS]
01:29:28
◼
►
Apple got better making phone antennas lot quicker REM gun building computers
[TS]
01:29:33
◼
►
think that the same thing that happened cars computing matters I think Apple is
[TS]
01:29:38
◼
►
going to be able to make a card easier than even BMW or Mercedes companies with
[TS]
01:29:44
◼
►
good you know well-run companies with good histories ago computers
[TS]
01:29:49
◼

there's also a third factor is very simple
[TS]
01:29:52
◼
►
the car market has always been a hundred years and counting and market where
[TS]
01:29:58
◼

design matters
[TS]
01:29:58
◼
►
design matters
[TS]
01:30:00
◼

and that plays into Apple strength when I just that is without a couple things
[TS]
01:30:05
◼
►
out when they first came out I wrote an very similar article like saying there's
[TS]
01:30:09
◼
►
actually a lot of things that make sense and I would you nailed most of them out
[TS]
01:30:13
◼
►
just add from the design design matters perspective the making electric cars got
[TS]
01:30:23
◼

a lot simpler so
[TS]
01:30:26
◼
►
or whether Karzai relative to a mechanical car is a much simpler thing
[TS]
01:30:30
◼

to build motors are much more will unite national car like is a controlled
[TS]
01:30:35
◼

explosion happening constantly and so that the level of refinement need to
[TS]
01:30:41
◼
►
build a quality engine and all that sort of things is much different in much
[TS]
01:30:45
◼
►
different skill set then that electric car where it so it's much easier to
[TS]
01:30:49
◼
►
enter the market now than it was and what happens is you know I think you're
[TS]
01:30:53
◼
►
driving up this because that having engine expertise in having know how to
[TS]
01:30:59
◼
►
build a great combustion engine is no longer a price of entry that changes
[TS]
01:31:06
◼
►
what matters the priority so used to be that you first off making a good Angeles
[TS]
01:31:12
◼
►
table stakes and then you could get to the quote-unquote user interface but now
[TS]
01:31:18
◼
►
that the engine is no longer price of entry what matters most
[TS]
01:31:23
◼

has changes because there there is not there is there's new table stakes just
[TS]
01:31:27
◼
►
look at what BMW's names down to four right
[TS]
01:31:30
◼
►
the variance motor works exactly exactly and so this is my second point which is
[TS]
01:31:36
◼
►
that the reason why I think you you said that the list of top makers will be very
[TS]
01:31:41
◼
►
different twenty years and is today is it's any time because this fundamental
[TS]
01:31:46
◼

change from from mechanical to electric and get this an iPod Touch himself
[TS]
01:31:49
◼
►
driving stuff which I think you perfectly articulated is gonna be a
[TS]
01:31:52
◼
►
separate event because you have this shift from mechanical to electric it's
[TS]
01:31:58
◼
►
everyone's starting from the same spot
[TS]
01:32:01
◼
►
objectively in this like going to mobile right it wasn't ever like all Microsoft
[TS]
01:32:06
◼
►
miss more often dismal they were they were on mobile earlier than anyone else
[TS]
01:32:10
◼
►
the issue was that
[TS]
01:32:11
◼

what mattered in mobile it was a brand new paradigm being good at the desk top
[TS]
01:32:15
◼
►
10 advantage of mobile in fact if anything it made Microsoft worse off
[TS]
01:32:21
◼
►
because the temptation to do take the desktop paradigm in stick it on a mobile
[TS]
01:32:28
◼
►
was overwhelming and it's like what they did right Windows Mobile actually had a
[TS]
01:32:32
◼
►
start by a start button you press the stylist in a pop-up windows ninety-five
[TS]
01:32:38
◼

menu and I think it's probably gonna be the same challenge with with cars the
[TS]
01:32:45
◼
►
mechanical it's not just that the mechanical guys no longer have an
[TS]
01:32:49
◼
►
advantage over the electric guys if that they're actually at a disadvantage
[TS]
01:32:53
◼
►
because they will be much less capable of truly starting from with a fresh
[TS]
01:32:59
◼
►
sheet and rethinking what a car means and if electric start with the idea that
[TS]
01:33:05
◼

is going to be a car and all that other stuff that has to gym goes away then
[TS]
01:33:10
◼
►
yeah I have you like a 17 screen in in their car right that's actually much
[TS]
01:33:15
◼
►
more important and and I think that's a reason why in these big transitions
[TS]
01:33:21
◼
►
the big players actually not completely transforming and look at my reasons are
[TS]
01:33:27
◼
►
no one they're expensive in its people spend a lot of money on the 22 market
[TS]
01:33:32
◼
►
right protect disruption three it's a market where designers historically
[TS]
01:33:36
◼
►
mattered that there's the same three things going on with the watch people
[TS]
01:33:41
◼
►
spend a lot of money on watch it right for technical disruption and by what I
[TS]
01:33:47
◼
►
mean by that is that we we've reached a point where you can build a UNIX
[TS]
01:33:52
◼
►
computer that runs in a wide size device which is networked which is a point of
[TS]
01:33:59
◼
►
disruption to the did you know whether or not you know who knows maybe the
[TS]
01:34:02
◼
►
digital watches are gonna die again
[TS]
01:34:04
◼
►
bbw fat ladies but there certainly seems like it's time for disruption because it
[TS]
01:34:09
◼
►
wasn't possible before and it is possible now
[TS]
01:34:11
◼
►
and three it's a it's a market where design matters well that's absolutely i
[TS]
01:34:15
◼
►
mean I don't know that that's more true for any market of the watches maybe you
[TS]
01:34:22
◼
►
know you'd only other thing you compared to be women's fashion you know in terms
[TS]
01:34:27
◼
►
of importance of design and the incredible variety of it at the top
[TS]
01:34:32
◼
►
there so the exact same reasons I think that Apple's got in to watch market
[TS]
01:34:35
◼
►
exactly the reasons I get in the car market and it's exactly the same reasons
[TS]
01:34:39
◼
►
they got into the cell phone market they're expensive it's a market that's
[TS]
01:34:43
◼
►
right for technical disruption in an area where Apple's expert and design
[TS]
01:34:48
◼

matters what I would add I guess the thing would phrase about the Technol
[TS]
01:34:53
◼

disruption who would refine it further to say it's not that these decals
[TS]
01:34:57
◼

eruption it's that what used to be a mechanical object is becoming a computer
[TS]
01:35:02
◼

and a little computer company and a car today is a mechanical object laws
[TS]
01:35:08
◼

computer stacked on top of it like some models like nearly a hundred micro
[TS]
01:35:12

processors but if you think like the reason why there's a hundred different
[TS]
01:35:15
◼

ones in all distinct and they all know it in why it's hard for you to a
[TS]
01:35:19
◼

mechanic even service a modern car is because they're all kind of tacked on
[TS]
01:35:23
◼

their tactic by if you start with the assumption that an electric car is a
[TS]
01:35:30

computer with wheels attached then it becomes very obvious that a computer
[TS]
01:35:35

company is going to is going to have an advantage in the long run and that's a

01:35:40

similar phone it it it was no longer a phone with you know calendar
[TS]
01:35:46
◼

functionality or functionality it became a computer that could also make calls
[TS]
01:35:50

and that that that flipping of the paradigm is is what makes it an
[TS]
01:35:55

attractive market for Apple for Google for the big software companies yeah and
[TS]
01:36:02

I think you're exactly right and your example that the entrenched market
[TS]
01:36:07

leaders are the ones about the heart of trouble

zooming out far enough to go back and just start over
[TS]
01:36:13

that they've found best example that I can think of and I know I've done this
[TS]
01:36:17

for years is the fact that the iPhone doesn't have a green make a call button
[TS]
01:36:21
◼

and a red Hang Up button up shirt and found an old mansion before I think
[TS]
01:36:26

people have pointed their jobs you know there are certain phone to come up
[TS]
01:36:29
◼

before that didn't have those things but very few it is you know they're David

their way off in a corner of phone history every single mainstream cell

01:36:38

phone that was ever made before the iPhone had in fact the color is almost

01:36:41

never change they had a green button to make a call and a red button hang up the
[TS]
01:36:45
◼

call so getting rid of those buttons was just like a huge and end really does
[TS]
01:36:51
◼

relegating the phone to a nap status you know I've said this before too I think
[TS]
01:36:55
◼

in hindsight I think if there's a mistake that Apple's made in the you
[TS]
01:36:59
◼

know what's it been eight years since the phone I feel I really wish the day
[TS]
01:37:03

would further reduce the magical nature of the of the phone app I don't want I
[TS]
01:37:12

would like to reduce incoming phone call to the same sort of notification I get

01:37:16

from anything else I'll tell you why should it take over my screen and Indu
[TS]
01:37:20
◼

yeah sure let it out let me send ringtone so if I have the volume on
[TS]
01:37:24

it'll play the ringtone but I don't want to take over the whole screen and if I

01:37:29

have it on silent I just wanted to drop down a little window shade at the top I
[TS]
01:37:32

really their phone calls are just not that important to me so if anything I

feel like Apple has fallen behind in reducing the fact that the phone should

most part they did and I don't think any of the existing phone makers would have

well that's always the thing in this is the this is why I started succeed and

why incumbents fail like the incumbent to easily has more experience they have

and that was this Amazon day in new york new york times you see this I did I
[TS]
01:43:40

01:43:44
◼

to be a mistake and then came back or truck parts reports oregon is she was
[TS]
01:44:14
◼
►
basically marginalized and resigned a few months later which you know
[TS]
01:44:19

certainly so I think just to be clear that sort of behavior in all the kind of
[TS]
01:44:25
◼
►
anecdotal allegations of treating a miscarriage poorly the cancer patient
[TS]
01:44:30
◼
►
like that's horrible and and deserves to be condemned the strongest possible
[TS]
01:44:35
◼
►
terms and I will say I believe that it happened because if you're in an
[TS]
01:44:42
◼
►
environment where they're pushing so hard
[TS]
01:44:44
◼
►
if you're if you're running wraps of the line like you're gonna go over it
[TS]
01:44:49
◼
►
sometimes so I actually tend to believe that there there is there isn't true
[TS]
01:44:53
◼

that stuff so that that that aside just be super clear that that that should be
[TS]
01:44:59
◼

tolerated and I hope that this will produce changes
[TS]
01:45:03
◼

secondly though the the issue I had with the New York Times article specifically
[TS]
01:45:09
◼

was in this sounds really like like silly but was the tone of it I there's

working so hard so you get scotch tape like there was kind of the the the Snort
[TS]
01:45:29
◼
►
and the disdain that in the condescension they felt it had that
[TS]
01:45:33
◼
►
really rubbed me the wrong way and the reason it did was the fact of the matter
[TS]
01:45:40
◼
►
is I know a lot of the renowned in Seattle I personally chosen not to work
[TS]
01:45:44

[TS]
01:45:53

loved the opportunity like I love the idea of an environment where they are
[TS]
01:45:57

that you can dig deeper in go down a deeper level and get something better
