00:03:19
◼
►
automatically but I do like like OCD like every time there's update I'd
[TS]
00:03:25
◼
►
install them but the reason I don't do it automatically as I wanna know when
[TS]
00:03:28
◼
►
there's no wonder I like to read the release notes probably safer and just in
[TS]
00:03:34
◼
►
case you know I can't remember the last time that I've had like an app that I
[TS]
00:03:40
◼
►
didn't want to update been years you know just in case there's like you know
[TS]
00:03:45
◼
►
some kind of you know regression in a nap yeah it happened
[TS]
00:03:53
◼
►
right like the equivalent of like what they did with pages and iWork suite on
[TS]
00:03:59
◼
►
Mac you know going from nine to whatever they call the new ones and I mean
[TS]
00:04:04
◼
►
basically some of those just because of the way the App Store work in the
[TS]
00:04:07
◼
►
process because normally developers would just roll back something that was
[TS]
00:04:13
◼
►
there is a collection of her something they can't do that they have to resubmit
[TS]
00:04:19
◼
►
it you know I noticed someone talking about pages I I am i big complaint and
[TS]
00:04:29
◼
►
the thing that I could not stand about the update 2 pages in particular is that
[TS]
00:04:34
◼
►
for the few things I use word processing like for example with sponsors sometimes
[TS]
00:04:39
◼
►
you know if I send them an invoice I have a page template and it's really
[TS]
00:04:42
◼
►
nice I've got a nice typography on it and for years now maybe even 10 years
[TS]
00:04:48
◼
►
Mac OS tennishead wonderful built in system-level typography so that I can
[TS]
00:04:53
◼
►
open type font that has small caps and alternate dinner the figures the old
[TS]
00:05:02
◼
►
style figures were the numbers dropped below the baseline or sometimes go above
[TS]
00:05:06
◼
►
the baseline and you can
[TS]
00:05:08
◼
►
system wide open Text Editor Free Text you know just the symbols
[TS]
00:05:14
◼
►
replacement for simple text go to find panel open the typography panel and you
[TS]
00:05:18
◼
►
get this wonderful typography controls my template all set up with you know
[TS]
00:05:24
◼
►
small caps for certain things and stuff like that and pages the new version of
[TS]
00:05:28
◼
►
pages last year 2013 version dropped support for all of that in the name of
[TS]
00:05:33
◼
►
compatibility with iOS which doesn't have any of those typography features
[TS]
00:05:37
◼
►
anymore so I stuck with the patron pages in particular I stuck with 2009 version
[TS]
00:05:42
◼
►
like numbers I i dont know why I don't know what the you know I'm such as
[TS]
00:05:46
◼
►
simple simpleton using a spreadsheet that I didn't notice anything worse in
[TS]
00:05:53
◼
►
numbers I use the new version in numbers but I use the old version of pages but I
[TS]
00:05:57
◼
►
notice with the latest version of pages it's it is so complicated
[TS]
00:06:01
◼
►
I they had like an update with your sanity and I'm hoping that the
[TS]
00:06:06
◼
►
typography stuff is back and it's not create a new document and pages and you
[TS]
00:06:12
◼
►
have a fight that has true small-caps not like the fake fake fake small caps
[TS]
00:06:16
◼
►
but real small caps there's no way did to turn text into small caps in the new
[TS]
00:06:21
◼
►
version but if you open and pages 09 document in a new version of pages and
[TS]
00:06:28
◼
►
you already have small caps it now
[TS]
00:06:30
◼
►
still supports it doesn't make it go away so it and it seems like what you
[TS]
00:06:37
◼
►
can do it doesn't get into it seems like what you can do is you can open a new
[TS]
00:06:43
◼
►
version pages you can switch to text it and make your text in you know use the
[TS]
00:06:48
◼
►
advanced typography its features copy and paste it go back two pages and paste
[TS]
00:06:53
◼
►
works as weird so so it's really really like you know it I guess seems like
[TS]
00:07:01
◼
►
they're making some kind of progress on that front but it's actually more
[TS]
00:07:04
◼
►
complicated than it was a year ago when the simple it was just a simple answer
[TS]
00:07:07
◼
►
no you can use this feature
[TS]
00:07:12
◼
►
it's like there's nothing to do with iMovie years ago
[TS]
00:07:15
◼
►
yeah yeah when they switched from being a sort of very basic traditional
[TS]
00:07:21
◼
►
non-linear video editor to do whatever I was even seen that guy is Randy obelisk
[TS]
00:07:33
◼
►

[TS]
00:07:48
◼
►
there had been burned out you know that you know you know just had been their
[TS]
00:07:53
◼
►
own major major software projects for years and years and he may not be there
[TS]
00:07:57
◼
►
I'm not sure to good question anybody knows liberties you can tell me and then
[TS]
00:08:00
◼
►
doing a function really listens to show you know you'd be surprised but have not
[TS]
00:08:08
◼
►

[TS]
00:08:18
◼
►

[TS]
00:08:21
◼
►
fan of the show and they said that they were they were half laughing and crying
[TS]
00:08:24
◼
►
for hours but fired they TV guys had a good a good bit about how he was not the
[TS]
00:08:36
◼
►
guy who was I would I want to hear from as I want to hear from the guy who made
[TS]
00:08:39
◼
►
that graphic I want to hear the story of how the traffic now that ATP guys had a
[TS]
00:08:48
◼
►
good bit about the way that the iWorks apps feature wise you know when
[TS]
00:08:54
◼
►
comparing contrast that with Microsoft which you know never takes fans away if
[TS]
00:08:59
◼
►
there's ever in advance you know if we were never gained advanced typography
[TS]
00:09:02
◼
►
features you can bank on it that it's never gonna lose them in the future and
[TS]
00:09:09
◼
►
any other thing that they brought up in this to me is so crazy it cannot believe
[TS]
00:09:13
◼
►
that it's true and I didn't even know it i have it like Mark to do more research
[TS]
00:09:19
◼
►
linking up from Darren fireball that apparently the new version of
[TS]
00:09:23
◼
►
of at least pages but maybe it's the whole iWork suite no longer reads
[TS]
00:09:27
◼
►
documents iwerks documents that are older than the versions created by the
[TS]
00:09:32
◼
►
09 versions really so like yes I like pages like that the oldest Pages
[TS]
00:09:39
◼
►
document you can open now in the current version of pages is from pages 09
[TS]
00:09:43
◼
►
anything created with a version of pages earlier than pages 09 will no longer
[TS]
00:09:47
◼
►
open in pages which is as crazy as I was about to delete the old version in the
[TS]
00:09:54
◼
►
09 version supports that stuff in a folder I was thinking I can just get rid
[TS]
00:09:59
◼
►
of that iWork 09 folder is not now known as crazy or at the very least and it
[TS]
00:10:05
◼
►
sounds like such such busy work but you really like the sensible idea you know
[TS]
00:10:11
◼
►
what you really need to do is find every single iwerks document that you have an
[TS]
00:10:15
◼
►
open it costs like if make sure see if you have seriously this is what you we
[TS]
00:10:23
◼
►
would have to do what we will have to do is open up every version and any
[TS]
00:10:27
◼
►
documentation fine that's older than 09 and make sure it's saved as 09 at the
[TS]
00:10:32
◼
►
very least to go back I'm sure got some someplace but I probably can't find them
[TS]
00:10:36
◼
►
right now try it but I will make sure to add a note and put that in the show
[TS]
00:10:42
◼
►
notes and I have a link where everybody but I got away from it but it's so crazy
[TS]
00:10:46
◼
►
and that you know they they rightly pointed out that that is exactly like
[TS]
00:10:52
◼
►
where Microsoft is so great because they you does not like you know that word
[TS]
00:11:00
◼
►
go by the latest version of Microsoft Word you know it opens
[TS]
00:11:05
◼
►
1.0 don't know what I would you bet against just right click like if you set
[TS]
00:11:17
◼
►
up like a 1984 like PC running like da Stu and like the first version of
[TS]
00:11:24
◼
►
Microsoft Word four-dot I don't even know what maybe dogs came out later 1984
[TS]
00:11:29
◼
►

[TS]
00:11:38

◼
►
my wife and his word perfect for years even like long after it had been

00:12:08
◼
►

[TS]
00:12:16
◼
►
pretty was for some thing was it was always popular wordperfect was huge in
[TS]
00:12:21
◼
►
the legal community I think I remember correctly for some reason and then word
[TS]
00:12:25
◼
►
was leaked everywhere else
[TS]
00:12:28
◼
►
and it was a big was a big problem for a lot of thinking that's kinda what drove
[TS]
00:12:34
◼
►
a lot of people to switch to PCs because they're using Word and they had to
[TS]
00:12:41
◼
►
switch to world anyway and various other using wordperfect and they had to switch
[TS]
00:12:45
◼
►
to Mac and they had to switch to world anyway and so they're like well I must
[TS]
00:12:49
◼
►
switch I gotta buy a license so I'm just gonna go by MPC one thing from that era
[TS]
00:12:56
◼
►
was that there were no demos for commercial software and the commercial
[TS]
00:13:02
◼
►
software was very exams so you really our only options where to pirate it
[TS]
00:13:07
◼
►
spend a significant amount of money like probably I'm guessing you know like a
[TS]
00:13:14
◼
►
word perfect for Mac was probably like $149 oh that was like the student
[TS]
00:13:19
◼

◼
►
for gold government now I was always a Mac rate I'm a great man and part of it
[TS]
00:13:47
◼
►
maybe was just that I don't think I had to pay for it because it drexel we we
[TS]
00:13:51
◼
►

[TS]
00:13:57
◼
►
just go to the student center and get my first like first couple of years like
[TS]
00:14:02
◼
►
their early nineties 9192 you'd go to the student center with blank floppies
[TS]
00:14:07
◼
►
and there was a machine where you just put them in and it would one-by-one you
[TS]
00:14:12
◼
►

[TS]
00:14:17
◼

00:14:22
◼
►
spreadsheet at the time and we had like like a university-wide site license for
[TS]
00:14:27
◼
►
Excel too and you would just go there with all you have to do is bring your
[TS]
00:14:31
◼
►
own poppies poppies and you get like officially licensed install disks for
[TS]
00:14:36
◼
►
cell like right now I always like I can remember not getting getting an
[TS]
00:14:43
◼
►
officially licensed yeah crazy it is absolutely crazy which was like one
[TS]
00:14:55
◼
►
point for four megabytes if it was double density high density right there
[TS]
00:15:03
◼
►
was the original lobbies however 401 Syracuse's Syracuse L is me on this cuz
[TS]
00:15:12
◼
►
I've whenever we go retro on the show I always say that they started at eight
[TS]
00:15:16
◼
►
hundred know they're like 1984 smacks had 400 K
[TS]
00:15:21
◼
►
3.5 inch floppy these and then and then 801 804 called double density and high
[TS]
00:15:30
◼
►
density
[TS]
00:15:32
◼
►
you could take even though you could take a double density the 800 K one and
[TS]
00:15:40
◼
►
if you punched a hole in the corner you could that the the floppy driver treated
[TS]
00:15:46
◼
►
as a high-density want because there was like for backwards compatibility the way
[TS]
00:15:53
◼
►
that they did it was
[TS]
00:15:57
◼
►
the high-density the ones you know one point four megabyte capacity with the
[TS]
00:16:01
◼
►
exact same form factor as the 800 K ones so you could put it in the same drive
[TS]
00:16:05
◼
►
but the way the drive would recognize that it was high density is that the
[TS]
00:16:10
◼
►
high-density once had a hole in the corner and if you took like it was the
[TS]
00:16:16
◼
►
dead people may I don't know if you could use a hole punch but there was a
[TS]
00:16:20
◼
►
good thing that people made you could buy that you would punch a hole in 800 K
[TS]
00:16:24
◼
►
desk and then the driver treated as a high-density one even though like the
[TS]
00:16:30
◼
►
manufacturer hadn't made it for that like that he'll lose you see we were
[TS]
00:16:35
◼
►
with her are dating back then the sailors floppy sometimes a little bit
[TS]
00:16:41
◼

now that's that's how the world works and you can fit you had to be able to
[TS]
00:16:48
◼
►
fit in a pond one I guess you get their installers for big bigger software where
[TS]
00:16:55
◼
►
the software would run across multiple discs and it would be like a zip file or
[TS]
00:17:01
◼
►
the equivalent that was spread across multiple yeah right I remember that
[TS]
00:17:06
◼

thanks to Squarespace alright so to me that your your story about not knowing
[TS]
00:34:59
◼
►
what what to get for hang for a PC is I feel the exact same way and I feel like
[TS]
00:35:06
◼
►
it's just one of those it's it's a chasm between Apple people PC people that only
[TS]
00:35:14
◼
►
widened over the years to me one of the great things about being all in on the
[TS]
00:35:19
◼
►
Apple platform is that it's so easy to know what the best thing you know if I
[TS]
00:35:24
◼
►
want the best iPad I know to get the iPad 2 and you know just decide which
[TS]
00:35:30
◼
►
color I want whether I want cellular and you know how much storage unit it
[TS]
00:35:35
◼
►
whereas if I want the best Android tablet who knows what it is like the
[TS]
00:35:39
◼
►
best Windows gaming PC who knows
[TS]
00:35:43
◼
►
yeah I mean there's some things said there are a few manufacturers that
[TS]
00:35:48
◼
►
specialize in that kind of thing but you know you go to the nobles site too and I
[TS]
00:35:54
◼
►
mean any kind of leaning towards Lenovo just because they've heard that they're
[TS]
00:36:00
◼
►
OK is as opposed to some of the rest of them it seems like a lot of violence
[TS]
00:36:03
◼
►
really had decreased quality over the years and a bunch of people going out of
[TS]
00:36:08
◼
►
business people have bought and the dizzying array of options they are
[TS]
00:36:16
◼
►
presented with four just laptops is on just Lenovo site is ridiculous and I
[TS]
00:36:23
◼
►
can't make heads or tails any of this stuff and there's a section
[TS]
00:36:27
◼
►
there is a it's like a matrix it's like a product matrix of different numbers
[TS]
00:36:34
◼
►
and within those numbers they'll say what's good for homeland good ones could
[TS]
00:36:38
◼
►
for giving one's good for business but I don't know but then you have to get
[TS]
00:36:45
◼
►
through those numbers in life I mean either gaming is the only one that makes
[TS]
00:36:52
◼
►
sense because gaming means it's going to have high-powered graphics if it if
[TS]
00:36:57
◼
►
they're being honest in saying this one is good for gaming that it's got to be
[TS]
00:37:00
◼
►
it means it's good good graphics or at least gaming optimized graphics because
[TS]
00:37:06
◼
►
you know it's you know you could have like a Mac Pro my dad very powerful
[TS]
00:37:13
◼
►
graphics but it's probably a more you know the drivers are more optimized
[TS]
00:37:17
◼
►
towards professional applications than gaming whereas a gaming PC you know what
[TS]
00:37:21
◼

i mean to me you know it's set up for all the stuff on Steam to be optimized
[TS]

dunno but what's the difference in a machine it's good for him and good for
[TS]
00:37:30
◼

business I guess that home is mostly just considered email and web surfing
[TS]
00:37:35
◼
►
and watching this I don't know and businesses businesses somebody else is
[TS]
00:37:41
◼
►
paying for us so this is a more expensive computer see I don't know I
[TS]
00:37:47
◼
►
kinda feel like it's such an artificial distinction that it dates back to the
[TS]
00:37:51
◼
►
back to what we were talking with like word 506 like 1989 and 90 when like
[TS]
00:37:58
◼
►
business would want like a networking card like it was a card that you
[TS]
00:38:03
◼
►
actually had to install in the back of the computer so you can plug Ethernet or
[TS]
00:38:06
◼
►
something like that and in Ethernet card was couple hundred bucks and it was
[TS]
00:38:10
◼
►
expensive and there's no way you'd want that at home because nobody had eaten at
[TS]
00:38:14
◼
►
all and so there where you know like physical differences between what you'd
[TS]
00:38:20
◼
►
want the business environment in a home environment whereas the distinction is
[TS]
00:38:25
◼
►
meaningless today I mean there's a reason why Apple doesn't have business
[TS]
00:38:28
◼
►
vs home distinctions in any other products
[TS]
00:38:32
◼
►
yeah right there's no business iPhone
[TS]
00:38:35
◼
►
business you know how my phone and in fact it's the fact that they didn't do
[TS]
00:38:40
◼
►
that and they don't have any such distinctions is what's driven this whole
[TS]
00:38:44
◼
►
you know I think revolutionary bring your own device to work thing that's
[TS]
00:38:50
◼
►
really gotten you know gaining momentum in like the biggest and most buttoned up
[TS]
00:38:56
◼
►
corporate environment I really think that whole good better best thing that
[TS]
00:39:02
◼
►
they did rounds 2009 that's not even started earlier in the wind up too late
[TS]
00:39:12
◼
►
2003 or something like that then they drop it was brilliant and I think they
[TS]
00:39:18
◼
►
should I frankly think they should still do that I think they do internally but
[TS]
00:39:22
◼
►
it's it's a little bit blurry r you know it's well and the other thing they did
[TS]
00:39:30
◼
►
was they had good better and best but then had just had the simple four-way
[TS]
00:39:34
◼
►
product matrix of pro not pro portable not portable and there was so there was
[TS]
00:39:43
◼
►
the not pro portable was the iBook and the pro portable was the MacBook or i
[TS]
00:39:49
◼
►
guess its powerbook then you know iMac was the night Pro desktop and the
[TS]
00:39:55
◼
►
paramedic however now I was gonna say macro a PowerMac was the Pro desktop and
[TS]
00:40:03
◼
►
then within each one was good better best yeah so it's a little bit more
[TS]
00:40:07
◼
►
complicated now but not too much I don't really have no idea what to do next year
[TS]
00:40:12
◼
►
the iPhone well shelf that lets cuz i think thats a deep conversation we
[TS]
00:40:21
◼
►
should return to it but I don't think it's hard to go in and buy a Macbook
[TS]
00:40:25
◼
►
today I think you know you know what would you rather do would you rather you
[TS]
00:40:30
◼
►
know I think I would get more complex maybe more complex if the rumored retina
[TS]
00:40:35
◼
►
MacBook Airs are coming as you know
[TS]
00:40:39
◼
►
in the early months of next year which i think is probably true I think if the
[TS]
00:40:44
◼
►
iMac has gone right now I think the MacBook Airs probably next and I think
[TS]
00:40:49
◼
►
suddenly suddenly that becomes a little tougher decision to make but it's a
[TS]
00:40:53
◼
►
transition right and if anything it's only going to steer more people towards
[TS]
00:40:57
◼
►
spending a little less and getting the retina MacBook Air and set of the retina
[TS]
00:41:03
◼
►
MacBook Pro 13 inch MacBook Pro you know which i think would save people money
[TS]
00:41:09
◼
►
instead of making people pay more but it's still right now today though it's a
[TS]
00:41:13
◼
►
very easy decision as I do you want the really nice machine and yet it's gonna
[TS]
00:41:18
◼
►
be a little thicker and heavier or do you want the cheaper lighter one which
[TS]
00:41:22
◼
►
is there it was pretty easy I know I'm getting my wife machine was actually
[TS]
00:41:30
◼
►
relatively simple because she's gotta monitors on an external monitor so she
[TS]
00:41:36
◼
►
didn't need a huge screen so ten-inch and definitely the air obviously and
[TS]
00:41:44
◼
►
then it was just storage space and she got a fairly big iPhoto library so she
[TS]
00:41:49
◼
►
knew she couldn't take though 28 gave her drugs and i was thinkin ok if you
[TS]
00:41:57
◼
►
want to get a machine now it's really make sense to get a king's ransom for
[TS]
00:42:00
◼
►
so that was it yeah yeah no other really know any other considerations whatsoever
[TS]
00:42:10
◼
►
yeah and I'm not you know and I'm sure that on the flip side it's like what
[TS]
00:42:13
◼
►
drives like this conversation of what how great it is that we don't have too
[TS]
00:42:16
◼
►
many choices to make
[TS]
00:42:18
◼
►
is exactly what drives PC sure PC fans knots and the think that Android fans
[TS]
00:42:24
◼
►
right as I think they're the same people you know I think that you know that
[TS]
00:42:29
◼
►
people who most liked the fact that they can configure the gym built can still
[TS]
00:42:34
◼
►
build their own PCs for the desktop are the sort of people who think it's
[TS]
00:42:39
◼
►
wonderful that there are so many Android phones
[TS]
00:42:43
◼
►
to choose from my thing was that I'm seriously thinking about like in the
[TS]
00:42:49
◼
►
next couple of weeks probably like maybe like maybe like for the month of
[TS]
00:42:52
◼
►
december 2 tried you know I haven't done it in like two years is given greater
[TS]
00:42:57
◼
►
shot try living for two weeks with an Android phone and so I asked around
[TS]
00:43:03
◼
►
waiting for the next 60 ship which I almost certainly knew I wasn't going to
[TS]
00:43:07
◼

want because it's so huge it came out in the reviews came out yesterday a lot of
[TS]
00:43:14
◼
►
them are really really badly just to pull skis you know had pictures from it
[TS]
00:43:19
◼
►
and the heat thinks that the cameras actually worse than last year's Nexus 5
[TS]
00:43:23
◼
►
both of them are way worse than the iPhone camera it's a really shitty
[TS]
00:43:28
◼
►
camera and that to me is a deal breaker right there but it's just basic question
[TS]
00:43:35
◼
►
to twitter twitter followers is okay let's say I want to give Android
[TS]
00:43:39
◼
►
lollipop the new 5.0 version of Android which I do think from the outside not
[TS]
00:43:44
◼
►
having used it looks like the first one first version of Android ever that's
[TS]
00:43:48
◼
►
pretty well designed right that's why I want to try it and I have no interest in
[TS]
00:43:53
◼
►
trying Android four-point anything on any phone because I know that I don't
[TS]
00:43:57
◼
►
like it I know I've used it I've spent enough time with 204 devices I know I
[TS]
00:44:01
◼
►
don't like the design so it has to be 5.0 which which phone check and it's
[TS]
00:44:07
◼
►
there's no clear like this is the best one to get yeah yeah more or less it
[TS]
00:44:12
◼
►
comes down to the two most popular answers were the Nexus 5 which is the
[TS]
00:44:16
◼
►
year old Nexus phone and the Moto X Moto X is more expensive cost me 500 bucks
[TS]
00:44:24
◼
►
each sino HTC now because it hates PCs and made which did get some votes and
[TS]
00:44:32
◼
►
most of the people who voted for it said it's easily the best build quality of
[TS]
00:44:38
◼
►
any Android phone but all HTC has promised for the image is that it'll get
[TS]
00:44:43
◼
►
lollipop within the next 90 days which probably means 89 days
[TS]
00:44:49
◼
►
yeah I've talked about my Nexus 7 on the show before and it's it's the original
[TS]
00:44:58
◼
►
one and so the other day because lollipop just came out well maybe I can
[TS]
00:45:04
◼
►
see if I can get a lollipop on that device because it wasn't included in the
[TS]
00:45:10
◼
►
in the beta program originally was traded back in the summer and it was not
[TS]
00:45:15
◼
►
one of the devices that you could install the early release on and and and
[TS]
00:45:21
◼
►
still there is no release for that device and how old is that which was
[TS]
00:45:25
◼
►
very confusing so that's where that came out two years ago
[TS]
00:45:31
◼
►
two and a half years ago because it came out the summer before the many and it's
[TS]
00:45:44
◼
►
just it's just a little odd to me that lollipop is quote out but it's not they
[TS]
00:45:49
◼
►
haven't created an apparently they're going to create a build for it but they
[TS]
00:45:52
◼
►
haven't done no good at stuff like that let's you know it's from Google to
[TS]
00:46:00
◼
►
cool device they're not that I my broad impression Google overall I was talking
[TS]
00:46:10
◼
►
about this the other day but that it's like one of those outages and I know
[TS]
00:46:16
◼
►
it's you know it's obviously not mathematically true but you know the
[TS]
00:46:21
◼
►
first ninety percent of the effort takes have your time and the other 10% takes
[TS]
00:46:27
◼
►
the other 90% of your time
[TS]
00:46:28
◼
►
yeah it's that last 10% always is is not really 10% to really more like half
[TS]
00:46:36
◼
►
of anything any big project and Google is really bad going into that you know
[TS]
00:46:44
◼
►
and to me that like that like the hard part and for all the grapes people have
[TS]
00:46:48
◼
►
about you know like iowa new versions of iOS running poorly on the oldest
[TS]
00:46:54
◼
►
supported phones tab or iPad at least they do run and it's a lot more effort
[TS]
00:47:01
◼
►
to make that happen then I think people give it credit for
[TS]
00:47:05
◼
►
yeah and you know Google just punch on all that usually I mean I'd see or
[TS]
00:47:10
◼
►
Android pretty much every day every year like they've never really had a really
[TS]
00:47:15
◼
►
good sport even for their Nexus devices more than a year old
[TS]
00:47:19
◼
►
yeah because it's hard it's really really hard and they just don't even try
[TS]
00:47:25
◼
►
but the consensus seems to be that if I want the best like the state of the art
[TS]
00:47:31
◼
►
and great experience today
[TS]
00:47:33
◼
►
get a Moto X the new moto acts as they kept the name is Amy routier it's
[TS]
00:47:41
◼
►
interesting and everybody seems to agree with it to the consensus is that the
[TS]
00:47:47
◼
►
best build quality too good keynote competitive camera and Motorola's
[TS]
00:47:56
◼
►
extension it's not just a pure you know like the way that the Nexus has the pure
[TS]
00:48:01
◼
►
Google Android experience like Android 5.0 with nothing you know unadulterated
[TS]
00:48:06
◼
►
moto axes version is pretty close to stock and the only thing they really do
[TS]
00:48:14
◼
►
is they had their own applications says system apps he can't delete but they
[TS]
00:48:18
◼
►
don't change the system itself you know like the notification center looks like
[TS]
00:48:23
◼
►
the pure Android notification center you know stuff yeah it's a lot more it's
[TS]
00:48:29
◼

00:48:34
◼

opposed to the HTC and

00:48:36

00:48:49

I can look at is as hard now so next year's iPhones I had a lot of people
[TS]
00:55:36
◼
►
talking about this is what we're gonna do with the four in size
[TS]
00:55:42
◼
►
thinking yeah because I see a lot of a lot of people have been publishing their
[TS]
00:55:48
◼
►
whatever like months months with the iPhone 6 plus or minus with the iPhone 6
[TS]
00:55:53
◼
►
every since early like him I like the device
[TS]
00:55:57
◼
►
well enough about a six and but but I mostly what was that like about it is
[TS]
00:56:03
◼
►
the extra features as opposed to the larger screen if I could I would
[TS]
00:56:08
◼
►
actually go back to the Florange I would too I in fact I did it for two weeks I
[TS]
00:56:14
◼
►
went back just to see you know what I thought I actually took my sim card out
[TS]
00:56:18
◼
►
and went back to my 5s for 24 weeks and really liked it but ultimately went back
[TS]
00:56:27
◼
►
to the six because I can definitely tell I can absolutely Pepsi challenge the
[TS]
00:56:33
◼
►
superior photos especially indoors possible that outdoors in sunlight I
[TS]
00:56:39
◼
►
couldn't Pepsi challenge the photos but indoors I can definitely do it so much
[TS]
00:56:44
◼
►
less noise and brighter writer exposures and really low light on the sex that
[TS]
00:56:53
◼
►
it's that alone almost makes it seals the deal I also can tell and this is
[TS]
00:57:00
◼
►
something I didn't like when I wrote my review of it that I didn't notice and
[TS]
00:57:03
◼
►
it's a sort of thing that it why I wish that I could always take six weeks to
[TS]
00:57:07
◼
►
rate these reviews like a used to before I got the review unit as opposed to
[TS]
00:57:11
◼
►
doing it in like one week but I can the first week with it the two new phones I
[TS]
00:57:15
◼
►
noticed that the screens are nice but I didn't notice that they were actually
[TS]
00:57:18
◼
►
nicer than the 5s like ya later and there's that whole that the big thing I
[TS]
00:57:26
◼
►
was obsessed with the first week was the increase in pixels per inch on the six
[TS]
00:57:30
◼
►
place that they went to this 1920 by 1080 resolution runs it three acts right
[TS]
00:57:40
◼
►
now but on the fly they scale it down to like this weird 2.7 X scaling factor and
[TS]
00:57:47
◼
►
I spent the whole week like you know take my glasses on taking them off
[TS]
00:57:51
◼
►
squinting real close trying to see if I could see you know the scaling and AM
[TS]
00:57:56
◼
►
excited and it really the six plus really does look nicer to me like you
[TS]
00:57:59
◼
►
get really close to it and text looks better because there's more pixels per
[TS]
00:58:03
◼
►
inch even though they're scaling and it's not true three acts it really does
[TS]
00:58:06
◼
►
look better than two acts and the regular 6 has the same 326 pixels per
[TS]
00:58:12
◼
►
inch as the five ass i didnt notice in the first week with the phone cuz I was
[TS]
00:58:16
◼
►
obsessed with just the pixels per inch and their six had the same pixels per
[TS]
00:58:19
◼
►
inch for the 5s and I didn't really bother looking at it too much but now lo
[TS]
00:58:23
◼
►
these almost what two months later and with me having gone back to the 5s for
[TS]
00:58:29
◼
►
two weeks and now back to the sex I can really noticed that the six you know the
[TS]
00:58:36
◼
►
fact that had the same pixels per inch side is so much as a really nice
[TS]
00:58:39
◼
►
improvement to the screen and it and know that they talked about the fact
[TS]
00:58:43
◼
►
that they added a polarizing filter or a new polarizing filter so it looks better
[TS]
00:58:47
◼
►
with polarized sunglasses but I think something to do with that
[TS]
00:58:52
◼
►
also the screen is even closer to the glass than before it's even know that I
[TS]
00:58:59
◼
►
raved about it endlessly when they first went right now with the iPhone 4 that it
[TS]
00:59:04
◼
►
really looked like the the pixels are closer to the glass but now it's so much
[TS]
00:59:08
◼
►
closer to that it makes like my iPhone 5 look like the screen is too far behind
[TS]
00:59:12
◼
►
the glass and it even makes all of my iPad everything I look at other phone
[TS]
00:59:17
◼
►
look like the pixels are 22
[TS]
00:59:18
◼
►
glass and that's really nice but bottom line is it's all about the field in my
[TS]
00:59:25
◼
►
hand and I like the four-inch feel in my hand I do I use my phone so much of the
[TS]
00:59:30
◼
►
time they use my phone I really only have one hand rates it's just a
[TS]
00:59:36
◼
►
humongous issue I can I can't bring myself to get into region bility to use
[TS]
00:59:42
◼
►
reach ability you know even though my complaint is about not being able to
[TS]
00:59:47
◼
►
reach staff at the top with my grip it never occurs to me
[TS]
00:59:52
◼
►
gently Palma right and I have no there's no support at the bottom and I'm
[TS]
00:59:58
◼
►
reaching across the phone to get to the corner doing it right now which is where
[TS]
01:00:03
◼
►
my mouth is turning away from the microphone but and then just i know im
[TS]
01:00:06
◼
►
gonna drop it at some point because it's not a secure hold but reach ability to
[TS]
01:00:12
◼
►
get there but it doesn't often doesn't fire for me on the first try and so then
[TS]
01:00:20
◼
►
I'm doing this extra thing that he didn't used to have to do and sometimes
[TS]
01:00:24
◼
►
it's not working and it's not it's not solving the problem for me
[TS]
01:00:31
◼
►
definitely I just never occurred to me to use it it's it's part of what I love
[TS]
01:00:37
◼
►
about iOS is even more than Mac OS 10 to me the system makes such a coherent
[TS]
01:00:45
◼
►
sense the design of the way that you go in and out about and navigate within and
[TS]
01:00:50
◼
►
it's like I'm in just whenever I'm using my iPhone I'm just in a certain mental
[TS]
01:00:55
◼
►
zone and it using reach ability takes me out of that you know because it's not on
[TS]
01:01:00
◼
►
screen like part of what to me the magic of iOS is that everything is on the
[TS]
01:01:08
◼
►
anything you can do something you can see on the screen and that's a profound
[TS]
01:01:15
◼
►
decrease in abstraction like that's why I think that the like the hardware back
[TS]
01:01:27
◼
►
button that Android use even though they draw it on screen now on most phones
[TS]
01:01:31
◼
►
but the fact that it outside the rules of the system it just never occurs to me
[TS]
01:01:37
◼
►
and I find it hard to remember that that's you know that the only thing you
[TS]
01:01:44
◼
►
ever have to do an IRS that's that's hardware related is hit the home button
[TS]
01:01:49
◼
►
software allows you know and then there's things like volume but their
[TS]
01:01:53
◼
►
value makes sense that hardware because it's it's not the software you're
[TS]
01:01:57
◼
►
manipulating its what they actually make sense it's hard workers it's the device
[TS]
01:02:00
◼
►
that emits the sound and using readability just takes me outside that
[TS]
01:02:06
◼
►
it feels like it's not on the screen
[TS]
01:02:10
◼
►
you know if if if somehow I could just swipe my thumb down and the phone would
[TS]
01:02:16
◼
►
magically know that I'm swiping down to read something I'd probably use it all
[TS]
01:02:19
◼
►
the time but there is of course no way the phone could read your mind know that
[TS]
01:02:23
◼
►
you're sweating reachability as opposed to yeah you know if it could go read
[TS]
01:02:31
◼
►
your mind in theory I mean I know that I'm just saying I would use it all the
[TS]
01:02:36
◼
►
time I would I would just drag the screen down in you know that the hit the
[TS]
01:02:40
◼
►
back button but it's a big issue for me I also really really don't like the size
[TS]
01:02:46
◼
►
of it in my jeans and I keep sexually I really don't notice the difference there
[TS]
01:02:52
◼
►
I definitely do I think part of it too is that when I read my review in
[TS]
01:02:56
◼
►
September I was still somewhat shorts weather I might have spent more time
[TS]
01:03:00
◼
►
with shorts I don't know but that's why I keep I keep targeting the mute switch
[TS]
01:03:07
◼
►
as I take it in and out of my jeans I also I just don't like it I even like
[TS]
01:03:15
◼
►
the flat side of the iPhone 5s I kinda like that but I also kinda like the new
[TS]
01:03:21
◼
►
12 I mean I love the feel like the Smithfield to check that one up to
[TS]
01:03:26
◼
►
a wash because if there were in the area 4.05% 6 that had this shape I wouldn't
[TS]
01:03:36
◼
►
be complaining yeah I wouldn't either but I do think my thing is that I
[TS]
01:03:41
◼
►
noticed after switching back to the 5s for two weeks that it the flat sides
[TS]
01:03:46
◼
►
make for a nicer iPhone as camera to take a picture it feels more natural in
[TS]
01:03:54
◼
►
my hands to have my fingers pinching flat side but I'll call it a wash it
[TS]
01:04:00
◼
►
overall though how easy it is to reach everything with holding the phone in one
[TS]
01:04:03
◼
►
hand and how big it is in my pocket and it sometimes it seems like so so
[TS]
01:04:09
◼
►
our friend never morgan's game came out last night
[TS]
01:04:12
◼
►
space age and downloaded that and you know it's nice having a larger screen
[TS]
01:04:20
◼
►
play game but I don't think to me it's not enough it's not know I have a night
[TS]
01:04:27
◼
►
at it it's not nice enough on the phone to make the difference for me no
[TS]
01:04:33
◼
►
question when you're using it it's you know there are certainly reasons to to
[TS]
01:04:37
◼
►
prefer bigger screen i mean i i i watch most most of the day in the summer when
[TS]
01:04:42
◼
►
baseball seasons in and i watch seriously i watch you know I don't know
[TS]
01:04:46
◼
►
over a hundred yankee games a year the ones I don't watch on TV I usually watch
[TS]
01:04:50
◼
►
on my iPad but I wound up just for convenience sake sometimes watching them
[TS]
01:04:55
◼
►
on my phone and obviously watching something that's the equivalent of TV
[TS]
01:04:59
◼
►
like a ballgame the bigger the screen the better you know even the six places
[TS]
01:05:02
◼
►
better you know but that's to me isn't important enough to optimize which phone
[TS]
01:05:08
◼
►
i get if there were a 4.0 inch iPhone 6 3rd size zero hesitation a hundred
[TS]
01:05:16
◼
►
percent certainty that's the one I would have bought yeah well I think I mean at
[TS]
01:05:21
◼
►
this point I wanted to try it
[TS]
01:05:22
◼
►
try to bigger size and see if I liked it better but I've come to the conclusion
[TS]
01:05:26
◼
►
that they don't it's not even if it is your decision than almost any other in
[TS]
01:05:33
◼
►
the Apple product line no hesitation I think the iPhone 6 is I don't and I
[TS]
01:05:38
◼
►
here's the big here's the thing that I think its loss in this is that people
[TS]
01:05:41
◼
►
who'd love big phones and I know that they'd really do there are people who
[TS]
01:05:47
◼
►
love the five to six plus you know for whatever reason they seemed to as a
[TS]
01:05:55
◼
►
group to lump them all together they seem to think just unilaterally big
[TS]
01:06:01
◼
►
phones are better and you know now that now that the iPhone has bigger screens
[TS]
01:06:05
◼
►
iPhone users will see what they've been missing out on some years
[TS]
01:06:08
◼
►
everybody will see it and we'll get to appreciate it I don't doubt that the
[TS]
01:06:13
◼
►
right but I do I really do think though that there are you know I'm certain now
[TS]
01:06:18
◼
►
having used it for this but having gone back that you know it's the scale of
[TS]
01:06:23
◼
►
form factors that people want in phones definitely goes beneath four point seven
[TS]
01:06:31
◼
►
inches for you know my my my short version is not that the iPhone 6 is too
[TS]
01:06:37
◼
►
big it's that it's too big to be the smallest iPhone did I not that I'm
[TS]
01:06:45
◼
►
doubting that there are some people who loved the size and that it's perfect for
[TS]
01:06:48
◼
►
them so what are they gonna do next year
[TS]
01:06:51
◼
►
yeah I don't know if they don't update the that the four inch form factor
[TS]
01:07:01
◼
►
though what I hope they do is is expand the top of the line you know which would
[TS]
01:07:09
◼
►
be next year I would expect in a nine system-on-a-chip and you know and even
[TS]
01:07:15
◼
►
better camera I would say well I hope they do is expand to three sizes in a
[TS]
01:07:21
◼
►
day or whatever they call it you know if it's may I don't know if they're going
[TS]
01:07:26
◼
►
to stick with this thing where they seems you know if next year's 4.7 inch
[TS]
01:07:32
◼
►
is the exact same physical sizes and they call it the success and they called
[TS]
01:07:36
◼
►
the other one the success + and they fit the same cases and maybe they just
[TS]
01:07:41
◼
►
update the colors of them at all to show that the new ones and introduce I don't
[TS]
01:07:47
◼
►
know I found six air call it the iPhone 6 share and make it the orange size
[TS]
01:07:55
◼
►
with like I said what I would hope for is they would have their own and the new
[TS]
01:08:00
◼
►
camera and all that but oh well I think I'll have a bullpen matter what what i
[TS]
01:08:07
◼
►
think is more likely is that they would make it do it's sort of like they did
[TS]
01:08:13
◼
►
the five-seat two years ago and that the for it this is what I think is more
[TS]
01:08:18
◼
►
likely that the foreign size there will be a new phone but it'll be like the
[TS]
01:08:24
◼
►
five-seat might be even be plastic and would have the internal specs of these
[TS]
01:08:33
◼
►
phones this a a 8049
[TS]
01:08:40
◼
►
and the camera from this phone and it would be $100 lower starting price than
[TS]
01:08:47
◼
►
the success yeah that sounds more likely to me I think it's way more likely
[TS]
01:08:51
◼
►
because I think they have to they can't prices they can't make yeah I think you
[TS]
01:08:57
◼
►
know the screen size alone isn't enough for up to $100 difference right you know
[TS]
01:09:03
◼
►
that it would be eating into their profit margins too much you know that
[TS]
01:09:09
◼
►
you know they can't justify it wouldn't cost $100 less to do it so I think it'd
[TS]
01:09:14
◼
►
be more likely that it would be like the six see the iPhone 6 see and it would be
[TS]
01:09:20
◼
►
four inches but it would be a year behind on the specs to me the plastic
[TS]
01:09:24
◼
►
seems to belong at the bottom line no because what happens then I mean you
[TS]
01:09:27
◼
►
can't you can't then take the 5s and move it down to the free model and have
[TS]
01:09:32
◼
►
a plastic on the screen sizes the same that's what they did with the pipe they
[TS]
01:09:40
◼
►
had 24 s 125 C came out at the bottom but that was a different screen size
[TS]
01:09:49
◼
►
and it doesn't seem like they can push down i mean maybe they could just make a
[TS]
01:09:53
◼
►
new 25 C so then the bottom two would be both plastic yeah something like that I
[TS]
01:10:03
◼
►
don't know but that's what I worry that they're going to do and then I worry
[TS]
01:10:07
◼
►
that on the CPU side I would I probably would just prefer size alone and I'll
[TS]
01:10:18
◼
►
take the year olds CPU specs and get the small but I very much worried that the
[TS]
01:10:27
◼
►
camera in next year's iPhone will be so much better again than this year's that
[TS]
01:10:32
◼
►
yeah even though I'm so impressed this year with this camera I think next
[TS]
01:10:36
◼
►
year's cameras gonna be so much better that I won't be stuck getting the four
[TS]
01:10:40
◼
►
point seven in 2010 for the camera even I would take the aid the year old aid
[TS]
01:10:45
◼
►
because I don't really play a lot of games and stuff like that and it's you
[TS]
01:10:49
◼
►
know I don't know that that getting an improved a nine would mean that much to
[TS]
01:10:53
◼
►
me but the camera would I mention this a few episodes ago
[TS]
01:11:02
◼
►
firm thing about it but I heard a rumor of a rumor from a birdie who knows a
[TS]
01:11:08
◼
►
party like a distant but that number one it's it's not looking at every single
[TS]
01:11:14
◼

year the cameras gotten better on the iPhone I think except for the first
[TS]
01:11:18
◼
►
except for the 3G did in 2008 iPhone had the same camera as the original 2007
[TS]
01:11:26
◼
►
like still didn't shoot video still was really ever since the 3ds every single
[TS]
01:11:34
◼
►
year the guy from camera has gotten noticeably better like enough better
[TS]
01:11:38
◼

than it was at the camera alone was tempting to be the reason that you
[TS]
01:11:43
◼

upgrade every single year
[TS]
01:11:45
◼
►
at least if you care about photography and it's so there's no reason to think
[TS]
01:11:50
◼

that's going to stop anyway but that the specific thing I heard is that their
[TS]
01:11:53
◼
►
next year's camera might be like the biggest camera jump ever that they've
[TS]
01:11:58
◼
►
got like really yeah that is I don't even know it since this makes but that
[TS]
01:12:04
◼

I've heard that it's it's some kind of weird to lens system like the back
[TS]
01:12:07

camera uses two lenses and I don't know somehow that it takes it up and sell our

quality imagery I don't know that well and in some ways that and that's what
[TS]
01:12:20

I've heard but it it can't really mean SLO our quality caused a lot of what

and have to do but that there's something they could do with two lenses

I don't just makes the photos if not a technical level SLR quality but at a

01:12:54

practical level for consumers taking pictures you know closer to sell ours I

[TS]
01:13:15
◼
►
me I'm not as big a camera but as you are and for years it did seem like you
[TS]
01:13:20
◼
►
ok ok I'm basically taking pictures with this because it's the one that's in my
[TS]
01:13:26
◼
►
pocket and I don't I don't be like that anymore like it's it's practically
[TS]
01:13:31
◼
►
speaking caught up to almost everything that I need now is they've gotten so
[TS]
01:13:36
◼
►
good it's time you know and I'm a guy is you know every every couple of years not
[TS]
01:13:42
◼
►
every year like every couple years I'll drop $800,000 I really do care about
[TS]
01:13:48
◼
►
some of that stuff and I really I could just see looking at
[TS]
01:13:51
◼
►
my you know like my Lightroom archive that every year it's more and more or
[TS]
01:13:57
◼
►
less and less photos shot with anything other than the iPhone it's always it
[TS]
01:14:04
◼
►
just gets more and more evenly on vacation and I have the camera camera
[TS]
01:14:08
◼
►
camera with me and it's like an affiliate look around my neck I just
[TS]
01:14:11
◼
►
what I do I think I think the cameras when it's going to come down to four me
[TS]
01:14:17
◼
►
next year unless they do what I really really hope they do is you know but
[TS]
01:14:22
◼
►
three phones at the top of the would-be when I would love to but I don't think
[TS]
01:14:27
◼
►
they will agree but I still think I would probably like I would probably go
[TS]
01:14:32
◼
►
back to stick with the relatively same internals is this phone
[TS]
01:14:37
◼
►
four-inch screen yeah I think if the camera isn't vastly improved if it's you
[TS]
01:14:44
◼
►
know i i would be very tempted just to get that from I noticed two in here the
[TS]
01:14:50
◼
►
other anecdotal thing is like two or three weeks ago there was a little small
[TS]
01:14:54
◼
►
indeed a conference here in Philly coca love I don't speak out about how I went
[TS]
01:15:01
◼
►
to it and you know
[TS]
01:15:02
◼
►
hundred and fifty yards while Estevan you know some friends marco was here
[TS]
01:15:10
◼
►
Dave Dave Wilkinson
[TS]
01:15:12
◼
►
here but I mean I met a lot of new people to really get out much so even
[TS]
01:15:17
◼
►
though the leaving the local people a lot of them are new to me and people
[TS]
01:15:23
◼
►
notice it was that was occurred during that two-week stretch where I went back
[TS]
01:15:27
◼
►
to my 5s and a lot of people noticed that I was using a 5s and specific they
[TS]
01:15:31
◼
►
asked and every almost every single person who I talk to about it was like
[TS]
01:15:37
◼
►
nodding their head in agreement that i've you know and they have a lot of
[TS]
01:15:41
◼
►
there are people who had this 626 + and all we're thinking the same thing that I
[TS]
01:15:47
◼
►
love so much about this newfound except that it's bigger yeah
[TS]
01:15:52
◼
►
so there's definitely and it's not just you and I are not outliers like we may
[TS]
01:15:56
◼
►
not be the majority like the the split across the product line may not be
[TS]
01:16:02
◼
►
one-third one-third one-third of they did this but I think that it's I think
[TS]
01:16:06
◼
►
it's may be close to at least a quarter of people would prefer the foreign size
[TS]
01:16:09
◼
►
yeah I think so too I mean I talk to me it seems like most of the people that
[TS]
01:16:14
◼
►
are too
[TS]
01:16:15
◼
►
actually yes I got a friend who who has signed up in size pants and so he got
[TS]
01:16:23
◼
►
his six-plus and he feels like he's home is even though he had a for which was
[TS]
01:16:27
◼
►
waiting you know thinking they're going to make a new they're gonna make one
[TS]
01:16:31
◼
►
it's better to wait for that and so we got six plus when I came out it's
[TS]
01:16:37
◼
►
perfect for him but our neighbor of the street was talking before the phone
[TS]
01:16:43
◼
►
these phones came out she said she said it's gonna be bigger only like I'm
[TS]
01:16:48
◼
►
getting my mom is on the 3ds keep saying when you get a new phone you need to get
[TS]
01:16:57
◼
►
a new phone software updates anymore and and then it was like ok well if I can
[TS]
01:17:03
◼
►
get a huge phone so I guess you should get the five pass and my wife same
[TS]
01:17:14
◼
►
things like that but the phone is so all the people I know who were in the market
[TS]
01:17:21
◼
►
right now are not terribly excited about the larger form factor I you know and I
[TS]
01:17:28
◼
►
think it's I think it's a complicated product marketing problem you know where
[TS]
01:17:35
◼
►
I think part of it clearly there are people out of sight I mean I know this
[TS]
01:17:41
◼
►
that there are people who love like your big handed friend who love the six plus
[TS]
01:17:45
◼
►
and I know that there are people with tiny hands who love the six plus you
[TS]
01:17:49
◼
►
know there are human and I know you know talking Ben Thompson huge every every
[TS]
01:17:54
◼
►
woman in Asia yeah
[TS]
01:17:56
◼
►
has a big dyke phablet size six inch phone and they were all all of them
[TS]
01:18:02
◼
►
wanted an iPhone we're all waiting for the six plus and and you know it's
[TS]
01:18:06
◼
►
almost like for some of the people who like to women with really small and that
[TS]
01:18:10
◼
►
they couldn't use the iPhone for one-handed either so the whole
[TS]
01:18:12
◼
►
one-handed thing wasn't an issue anyway so you might as well get a bit so I know
[TS]
01:18:16
◼
►
that it's not just an issue not just appealing to people with large hands
[TS]
01:18:20
◼
►
it's you know it's across the board
[TS]
01:18:22
◼
►
some people just use their phone to handle all the time if so why not get
[TS]
01:18:27
◼
►
the biggest one but it's not just nerdy others I just me like Amy who uses her
[TS]
01:18:34
◼
►
iPhone very differently from me she's nowhere near she's not on anywhere near
[TS]
01:18:38
◼
►
as much as I am but she she doesn't like the six eyes either she thinks it's
[TS]
01:18:43
◼
►
ridiculous she really can't believe that there's a bigger size it's pretty
[TS]
01:18:50
◼
►
astounding yeah well it you know it's funny it's funny cuz I even had one as a
[TS]
01:19:00
◼
►
review unit and they use it for a week but at the colo conference you know and
[TS]
01:19:05
◼
►
everybody had i phone every item out of the time and there were people of course
[TS]
01:19:08
◼
►
not just the people who you know who are not in agreement with me that the six is
[TS]
01:19:12
◼
►
too big but there are of course other people who had the six plus you see them

01:19:15

he's like hey you know I think we should do in Minecraft book and get some other
[TS]
01:33:37
◼
►
people to do some different sections and be relatively easy to put together so
[TS]
01:33:42
◼
►
let's do it so he's the one we talked to WWDC when I was down there
[TS]
01:33:48
◼
►
Francisco which is where there were people is based hands basically wrote it
[TS]
01:33:56
◼
►
over the summer and into the fall and the video production how big how big is
[TS]
01:34:02
◼
►
your section I think my sections about forty plus pages forty to fifty pages
[TS]
01:34:10
◼
►
something like that so it's not not huge no no it's not huge
[TS]
01:34:16
◼
►
but it takes time so it's an interesting it's an interesting process and all of
[TS]
01:34:20
◼
►
it you know all of it in Word was not i wud that's one of many more men are used
[TS]
01:34:28
◼
►
to be ok but they do these people book production companies they they really
[TS]
01:34:35
◼
►
know all in all not just well we need we just need to agree on a file format that
[TS]
01:34:43
◼
►
we all can read it's because they're change tracking yeah it's mostly I think
[TS]
01:34:48
◼
►
the promise the biggest thing is the train change tracking and then after
[TS]
01:34:52
◼
►
that its formatting stuff I don't because they have all these so they have
[TS]
01:34:57
◼
►
alter their templates built into Word already so they provided me a template
[TS]
01:35:04
◼
►
and I typed into the template and then you know I would use they had macros
[TS]
01:35:11
◼
►
that would do
[TS]
01:35:12
◼
►
formatting stuff so yeah it's a part serious but I'm curious because I am a
[TS]
01:35:21
◼
►
writer I have written a lot I think I did a word count exported everything
[TS]
01:35:29
◼
►
from during fireball before xoxo I didn't actually include this in my talk
[TS]
01:35:33
◼
►
but caused by talking xoxo was about what it's like to have written during
[TS]
01:35:36
◼
►
fireball you know how I built it into a business and 12 years or whatever but I
[TS]
01:35:42
◼
►
was curious cuz Jim could I asked me a couple months ago how much have you
[TS]
01:35:46
◼
►
written by never counted before so I wrote a script exported everything from
[TS]
01:35:50
◼
►
the linked list and from my articles and I wrote a script that cut out all of the
[TS]
01:35:55
◼
►
block quoted material so the blockquote didn't count and it was remarkably even
[TS]
01:36:01
◼
►
there was a little bit over nine hundred thousand words for both linked list
[TS]
01:36:05
◼
►
entries in my column entries
[TS]
01:36:09
◼
►
so it's you know close to looks like maybe like within the next year I'll
[TS]
01:36:14
◼
►
crossed like the two million words sounds like a lot of words that's a lot
[TS]
01:36:19
◼
►
of that is a lot of words it really does its own sounds like about it right and
[TS]
01:36:26
◼
►
the basic I i've Google this many times but the books obviously very great with
[TS]
01:36:31
◼
►
greatly in length but like the typical length of the book is somewhere around
[TS]
01:36:35
◼
►
like sixty to eighty thousand words you know or something like that so it's you
[TS]
01:36:42
◼
►
know like the equivalent of a lot of bucks but but I've never written I've
[TS]
01:36:47
◼
►
never written anything in my life that's more than maybe four thousand words and
[TS]
01:36:51
◼
►
I don't know that I can I call you when I was younger I used to think eventually
[TS]
01:36:55
◼
►
you have to write a book that's if you want to be a writer you gotta gotta read
[TS]
01:37:00
◼
►
a book but you know I don't know I'm getting pretty old and I haven't written
[TS]
01:37:04
◼
►
it's really just a min particularly for something like this it's it's just them
[TS]
01:37:09
◼
►
it's like you're writing a series of articles I wrote a different number of
[TS]
01:37:15
◼
►
different sections different topics and so each one was its own little thing I
[TS]
01:37:21
◼
►
also think that I don't want to be too much like the princess and the pea but I
[TS]
01:37:25
◼
►
don't know that I could bring myself to working with word a real estate and that
[TS]
01:37:32
◼
►
sounds so my struggles with my hardware of the video production part which is
[TS]
01:37:36
◼
►
really just my own fault the the word partisan I you know I'm so picky about
[TS]
01:37:43
◼
►
what I write that I invented a thing that people use I invented markdown
[TS]
01:37:47
◼
►
specifically because I wasn't happy with what happened before that can imagine
[TS]
01:37:51
◼
►
writing anything long form not marked it seems like writing and mark down then
[TS]
01:37:56
◼
►
going into moving in the world would be such a huge pain in the ass
[TS]
01:38:01
◼
►
it is I tried that at first because once you do it right and it doesn't work
[TS]
01:38:05
◼
►
because once you have to make edits you can't go back
[TS]
01:38:13
◼
►
that's actually you know
[TS]
01:38:14
◼
►
to go back 10 years because I think I think this fall is the 10 year
[TS]
01:38:20
◼
►
anniversary of markdown 1.0 but the public beta came out in February so
[TS]
01:38:25
◼
►
we're past 10 years of public marked down but before markdown was marked down
[TS]
01:38:31
◼
►
it was it was a series of filters I had in BBEdit that we're like one way like I
[TS]
01:38:42
◼
►
would start by writing marked down like a very prototypical early version of
[TS]
01:38:46
◼
►
mark down that was mostly just like automatically putting paragraph tags in
[TS]
01:38:50
◼
►
between blank lines and tell you know asterisks Retalix and some kind of
[TS]
01:38:57
◼
►
shorthand for links so I would write that way and then I would run my name
[TS]
01:39:03
◼
►
for it but I would run the script and it would turn it into HTML copy and paste
[TS]
01:39:08
◼
►
the HTML into movable type but that grew it didn't last long because I would
[TS]
01:39:15
◼
►
think I was done with the article but then thought of something new I want to
[TS]
01:39:20
◼
►
go back but it's too late now had already need to Malin I'm stuck writing
[TS]
01:39:24
◼
►
HTML which is the whole reason I started writing the script in the first place to
[TS]
01:39:27
◼
►
let me use asterisks and stuff like that and even worse and worse to do it with
[TS]
01:39:33
◼
►
something that's rich text like yeah where'd ya and I know their pricing
[TS]
01:39:39
◼
►
there is there some tools out there trying to help you with that process but
[TS]
01:39:42
◼
►
yeah I gave up and when I had actually started writing in BBEdit with mark down
[TS]
01:39:51
◼
►
and then when I got to the point where I went I went to move the first section
[TS]
01:39:56
◼
►
into work I was like ok but if you write your own book you wouldn't have to use
[TS]
01:40:05
◼
►
right right I don't have to do you know go to someone like Peter patent use
[TS]
01:40:10
◼
►
their existing process I mean I'm sure that there's obviously a way that I
[TS]
01:40:13
◼
►
could I get to self-publish my own book at this point
[TS]
01:40:15
◼
►
I can do pretty well but I mean I would be surprised if David sparks actually
[TS]
01:40:18
◼
►
written word yeah I should talk to it would actually almost be hypocritical
[TS]
01:40:28
◼
►
since he's you know he's written a really really good
[TS]
01:40:32
◼
►
markdown book he uses iBooks Author has recently
[TS]
01:40:41
◼
►
so what would be the point I should there be no point going forward I
[TS]
01:40:47
◼
►
wouldn't be surprised I did read his book and it's XIO David sparks Martin
[TS]
01:40:51
◼
►
book in this show notes but trying to bulk up the show notes I've noticed that
[TS]
01:40:57
◼
►
a lot of the podcast alike have these copious show notes that are you know
[TS]
01:41:01
◼
►
that's my value add to the soup I guess then I'm on and i i suffer from podcast
[TS]
01:41:07
◼
►
Tunisia Susan done recording a podcast I don't even remember what they talked
[TS]
01:41:11
◼
►
about all I have to listen to it again that's the only way to do it right but
[TS]
01:41:18
◼
►
I'll try but only to me but i wouldnt be surprised I did read his book The maybe
[TS]
01:41:21
◼
►
a vague recollection and maybe even included something about how he wrote
[TS]
01:41:25
◼
►
the book in his production you know yeah and the other person who might notice
[TS]
01:41:32
◼
►
serenity Caldwell she has very well versed in public I think she knows more
[TS]
01:41:39
◼

about it than anybody who's anybody knows more than serenity I'd like to
[TS]
01:41:45
◼
►
meet them
[TS]
01:41:46
◼
►
yeah I remember her her singleton talk from two years ago about the
[TS]
01:41:50
◼
►
nitty-gritty details of trying to write trying to create an ebook just for like
[TS]
01:41:55
◼
►
just for like and candles Moby and it was like oh my god what a nightmare
[TS]
01:42:04
◼
►
yeah it was bad back in the days of special case
[TS]
01:42:09
◼
►
Internet Explorer and Netscape it's like magic if one uses HTML and one doesn't
[TS]
01:42:17
◼
►
so anyway anyway I use word right well I've used word by my license now elapsed
[TS]
01:42:28
◼
►
since I'm writing I don't know that it's later I'll get the license again I don't
[TS]
01:42:35
◼
►
even know bird looks like these days is it is it the case that does everybody
[TS]
01:42:38
◼
►
Peachpit Newsmax doesn't matter is it is it is like word at a state where they
[TS]
01:42:43
◼
►
all use Macs I don't we were so few people that I work with the Peach Pit
[TS]
01:42:49
◼
►
work left who was really basically putting the deal together you know
[TS]
01:42:56
◼
►
bringing the people together and then we had sort of a project manager who i
[TS]
01:42:58
◼
►
think is actually not a peach pit employee someone that they contract with
[TS]
01:43:05
◼
►
so I'm pretty sure she did not use a Mac but I think class uses a Mac so I don't
[TS]
01:43:14
◼
►
think it's that they're probably but it's a mixed environment I think I would
[TS]
01:43:19
◼
►
think that most of the I don't know I don't know actually it seems like a lot
[TS]
01:43:25
◼
►
of this stuff must end up going to Adobe at some point rate gas I would guess
[TS]
01:43:33
◼
►
that the book is probably actually laid out with InDesign yeah the print book I
[TS]
01:43:38
◼
►
don't know it just seemed its but they are you know the other thing I mentioned
[TS]
01:43:43
◼
►
while we're promoting the book if you go to Peachpit to buy your book they have a
[TS]
01:43:48
◼

really sweet deal where you can get the print version
[TS]
01:43:53

package of ebooks epub which works and I books mobi which work on any of your

registered to your name so that you know if you share it you would be you
[TS]
01:44:17
◼

wouldn't be tempted to share it publicly publicly shamed
[TS]
01:44:20
◼

well probably taken to prison but which is to me that the best way to do he
[TS]
01:44:28
◼
►
books you know I know there's other companies like O'Reilly that do that and
[TS]
01:44:31
◼

I know that our friends it take control folks you know that they days then there
[TS]
01:44:37
◼
►
you know their brains are all cross platform in and no DRM and stuff but
[TS]
01:44:41
◼
►
that's the best deal in my opinion 2159 $21.59 and you get it all in which is a
[TS]
01:44:50
◼
►
really good deal and just to be clear we wrap it up that when you go to go to
[TS]
01:44:54
◼
►
like the iBookstore and search for multi minecraft two books show up trying to
[TS]
01:45:00

help you search for multi minecraft to book show up and one's more expensive
[TS]
01:45:06

than the other
[TS]
01:45:07

that's because the one is more expensive is the one with all three of your

gorilla on the market it is tons of features in the features help drive it

01:52:24
◼

and you know the file format is sort of a standard and people hate it or at
[TS]
01:52:31
◼

least like for the real there's some people who love microsoft word I'm not
[TS]
01:52:35

everybody hate Microsoft Word some people love it I'm sure you know there's
[TS]
01:52:43
◼
►
people who just really get into I'm sure that people who love final draft but for
[TS]
01:52:47
◼

the type of people who don't like word and who would prefer to write a blog
[TS]
01:52:51
◼
►
post in a simple text editor with markdown if you're like that you don't
[TS]
01:52:57
◼

like writing your screenplay with Final Cut final draft final draft and so
[TS]
01:53:03
◼

instead there's two of these apps are great friends you know it's almost like
[TS]
01:53:08
◼
►
a friendly competition cuz they collaborated on the file format this dot
[TS]
01:53:11
◼
►
for fountain file format between them but it's very very marked down like just
[TS]
01:53:16
◼
►
with some assumptions based on the rules of ice cream place so like the way that
[TS]
01:53:22
◼
►
in screen play a character named for dialogue as always all caps so if you
[TS]
01:53:26
◼
►
write in all caps and moats return that it automatically knows that that's a
[TS]
01:53:32
◼
►
character name and that the next line is dial and you know if you want to put a
[TS]
01:53:38
◼
►
word that Alex wrapping and asterisks you know just like mark down
[TS]
01:53:42
◼
►
but it lets you use if you want to you could do something like BB it and just
[TS]
01:53:47
◼
►
write in a format that is very very readable in its native format and then
[TS]
01:53:52
◼
►
you processes and outcomes a PDF that looks like a screenplay everything's in
[TS]
01:53:56
◼
►
Currier all the margins are taking care of and stuff like that and but you could
[TS]
01:54:01
◼
►
use their apps and you know the slug line and fountain and it
[TS]
01:54:05
◼
►
format does as you're typing it looks a little bit more screenplay right off the
[TS]
01:54:11
◼
►
bat instead of you know your text but the file format you're saving underneath
[TS]
01:54:16
◼
►
is just plain tax and then you know you have that peace of mind like going back
[TS]
01:54:20
◼
►
to our discussion about iti works out like twenty years from now your
[TS]
01:54:23
◼
►
screenplay still just a plain text file you don't have to worry that slug line
[TS]
01:54:27
◼
►
is still an ass you laugh but it's no I know and laughing I'm still laughing
[TS]
01:54:32
◼
►
about the work thing and the other thing I think the reason that these apps have
[TS]
01:54:39
◼
►
taken off is even a final draft still sort of a standard like the basic gist
[TS]
01:54:45
◼
►
though as I can hear if you're a working you know screenplays screenwriter that
[TS]
01:54:51
◼
►
the canonical format that gets passed around as you submit your work and
[TS]
01:54:55
◼
►
studios read it or you know even if you're already been hired have to pass a
[TS]
01:54:59
◼
►
draft is a PDF file so it doesn't matter what you used to write it you generate a
[TS]
01:55:03
◼
►
PDF and that's what everybody reads and he stops create PDFs that looked like
[TS]
01:55:08
◼
►
perfect screenplays there's no you know there is no system in place like with
[TS]
01:55:12
◼
►
word with change tracking and stuff like that that you are obligated to use final
[TS]
01:55:16
◼
►
draft in a way and maybe some studios have something like that but for the
[TS]
01:55:20
◼
►
most part it seems like a lot of working screenwriters can just use these apps
[TS]
01:55:24
◼
►
and miss out on nothing pleases me to no end
[TS]
01:55:29
◼
►
that something I did you know like 0.000011% input from me that these guys
[TS]
01:55:37
◼

went out and made something inspired by it that is you know really solves a
[TS]
01:55:41
◼

problem
[TS]
01:55:41
◼

screenwriters that markdown solve for me as somebody writing for a blog right do

to have somebody like Tim Cook saying I am proud of it and consider it a gift
[TS]
02:07:06
◼

from God is its historic I really do think its historic yeah I can't think as
[TS]
02:07:13
◼

I can't think of any other executive Tony obviously follow Apple a closely
[TS]
02:07:20

[TS]
02:07:25
◼

don't didn't pay attention
[TS]
02:07:26
◼

there was a guy I don't know there was a guy was like a charge of the bank CEO of
[TS]
02:07:31
◼

a bank but he didn't come out until after he'd resign step down a retired or
[TS]
02:07:35

something like that and said that it was really a day was you know as he was in

the ER visits happening now is professional sports right right it's my

just a few things that have traditionally at two places that have

02:07:55
◼

traditionally been fairly conservative that are now being forced to open up
[TS]
02:08:02
◼

about what's really reality I also thought the other thing it was
[TS]
02:08:07
◼

remarkable not just that he didn't answer but I thought it was such a
[TS]
02:08:10
◼
►
well-written piece rear ended so short very success and I firmly believe I'm
[TS]
02:08:17
◼
►
sure that there you know he didn't write it without any help whatsoever editing
[TS]
02:08:23
◼
►
are you know and from within but I do think that it was his words you know in
[TS]
02:08:28
◼
►
the same way to me it was like like the Steve Jobs thought on music and Steve
[TS]
02:08:33
◼
►
Jobs was alone thoughts on flash where you could tell that it was jobs writing
[TS]
02:08:39
◼
►
yeah right that there was it wasn't just his name at the bottom of the letter
[TS]
02:08:42
◼
►
they could like like what we know of Steve Jobs and his obsessions in the way
[TS]
02:08:46
◼
►
things really came out in those to an early work on essays says yeah and I
[TS]
02:08:54
◼
►
can't help but think that this this piece is so very Tim Cook in in the way
[TS]
02:09:02
◼
►
that it's written there's a certain meticulous next to it and the tightness
[TS]
02:09:06
◼
►
of thought and anywhere where you might be tempted to sort of roll your eyes at
[TS]
02:09:12
◼
►
the sort of idealism of it I think it's genuine I don't think there's any reason
[TS]
02:09:17
◼
►
to I think it's genuinely how he feels that he truly feels like a social
[TS]
02:09:22
◼
►
obligation to our society as a whole
[TS]
02:09:27
◼
►
to to make things better in in this regard yeah do you think there's a
[TS]
02:09:33
◼
►
there's a reason now as opposed to earlier I i do I don't know it's it's it
[TS]
02:09:44
◼
►
seems like the Apple is it a better in a better position currently in terms of
[TS]
02:09:50
◼
►
public opinion because the stock prices doing better than it was like say your
[TS]
02:09:53
◼
►
ago I do I think that you know and who knows maybe he really only came to the
[TS]
02:10:01
◼
►
decision maybe it was something he was thinking about maybe doing for a year
[TS]
02:10:04
◼
►
two years and and finally thought maybe it just popped into his head maybe you
[TS]
02:10:08
◼
►
know something in September made him think you know I think I should come out
[TS]
02:10:12
◼
►
because this this who knows how how long it was planned and I don't know but in
[TS]
02:10:17
◼
►
hindsight it sure feels perfectly timed yes right like in some way it if he had
[TS]
02:10:28
◼
►
been out for fifteen years and had been you know had like a longtime partner you
[TS]
02:10:38
◼
►
know since before there was even legal gay marriage in California who
[TS]
02:10:41
◼
►
accompanied him to events and therefore you know had been out while he was COO
[TS]
02:10:47
◼
►
not CEO it certainly would have been his right and nobody would right-minded
[TS]
02:10:53
◼
►
wouldn't complain about it but it wouldn't have been as big a deal I don't
[TS]
02:10:56
◼
►
think you know somehow it feels right and the fact that it's a long as it's in
[TS]
02:11:03
◼
►
Steve Jobs dead three years as somehow it feels like the right amount of time
[TS]
02:11:10
◼
►
where the tumultuous of of him taking over past it seems like this year we
[TS]
02:11:16
◼
►
transition period is over even though Tim Cook spent a lot of time almost
[TS]
02:11:24
◼
►
effectively being see all jobs with sick right there were still you know jobs are
[TS]
02:11:30
◼
►
still there he still had input into how the products were designed and made and
[TS]
02:11:35
◼
►
to the point now where no one can reasonably say
[TS]
02:11:38
◼
►
know that you know the issue that's a good device but it was you know but jobs
[TS]
02:11:42
◼
►
had his fingers and that's owed him cocaine claimed it as its own right I
[TS]
02:11:46
◼
►
I've long thought that it even before Jobs was sick or what you know maybe he
[TS]
02:11:53
◼
►
technically was sick because he had the cancer
[TS]
02:11:56
◼
►
you know the whole period from when the cancer was first diagnosed until he died
[TS]
02:12:01
◼
►
a guess he was technically sick the whole time but even when he was feeling
[TS]
02:12:05
◼
►
well and they thought they had everything in remission I still think
[TS]
02:12:08
◼
►
that the the delegation of duties I what Tim Cook did Apple versus what Steve
[TS]
02:12:12
◼
►
Jobs did that Tim Cook was if you just described his duties to someone who
[TS]
02:12:17
◼
►
didn't know their titles you to where he's the CEO jobs is something else
[TS]
02:12:23
◼
►
maybe the president or something like that you know used to be a more calm you
[TS]
02:12:26
◼
►
know when we were kids a lot of companies had like a CEO and President
[TS]
02:12:29
◼
►
and CEO is more about making company-wide decisions and stuff like
[TS]
02:12:36
◼
►
that you know about the company and the bureaucracy of the company whereas jobs
[TS]
02:12:41
◼
►
could even when he was you know healthy was more solely focused on the products
[TS]
02:12:47
◼
►
and product development but even so I still determined to seem so perfect as
[TS]
02:12:53
◼
►
you said I think the transition period ended this year stocks stabilized
[TS]
02:12:58
◼
►
they've they've they haven't released it but they've at least unveiled a wholly
[TS]
02:13:02
◼
►
the watch which is wholly formed host Steve ghetto and its notes remains to be
[TS]
02:13:10
◼

seen how it's going to you know it isn't out yet but it certainly seems as though
[TS]
02:13:14
◼

[TS]
02:13:18
◼

when happiness Steve we're still not entirely but it's we've passed it I
[TS]
02:13:33
◼

don't remember a year ago twenty the shower files but there are a lot of
[TS]
02:13:38
◼
►
people literally calling for Apple's board the fire Tim Cook you know fired
[TS]
02:13:43
◼

him cookies terrible you know when and where passing it is somehow feels right
[TS]
02:13:50
◼
►
yeah I'm looking forward to the addition of haunted empire has a new book out a
[TS]
02:14:01
◼
►
shorter shelf when I wrote about it I did I wrote I was like I really feel
[TS]
02:14:07
◼
►
like they knew it because it really does it part of what I thought was bad but
[TS]
02:14:12
◼
►
the book is it felt rushed it felt like the editing
[TS]
02:14:15
◼
►
if it could have been tighter and I can't help but think that they wanted to
[TS]
02:14:19
◼
►
rush out back in February because they thought it was going to turn around the
[TS]
02:14:25
◼
►
latest you know I think the writing was on the wall that the book was already
[TS]
02:14:29
◼
►
gonna get out quickly last thing I think I've had this in my notes as you see
[TS]
02:14:42
◼
►
this thing yesterday with the Twitter mission statement
[TS]
02:14:46
◼
►
well and i cant but I think about it as I compared to the Tim Cook essay on you
[TS]
02:14:56
◼
►
know coming out as gay and proud and how good the writing is I say this is side
[TS]
02:15:01
◼
►
maybe I value good writing more than most people because I'm a writer I care
[TS]
02:15:05
◼
►
about it but I can't help it has basic theory in general whether it's something
[TS]
02:15:08
◼
►
personal like Tim Cook's thing or whether it's something purely business
[TS]
02:15:12
◼
►
like like a strategy statement that good writing is the result of good thinking
[TS]
02:15:18
◼
►
and bad writing is usually the result of sloppy thinking incomplete thinking you
[TS]
02:15:25
◼
►
know that it
[TS]
02:15:26
◼
►
and here's the twitters strategy statement to reach the largest daily

revenue-generating Internet companies in the in the world and i cant believe more

people I didn't jump on it right away about complete that I was the first
[TS]
02:15:53
◼
►
person I saw to point out that that was not even close to hitting in the length
[TS]
02:15:57
◼
►
of a tweet it's two hundred and shouldn't your strategy statement and
[TS]
02:16:06
◼
►
especially if your Twitter it's so that they put it into a longer one of the
[TS]
02:16:17
◼
►
things called it's so bad it's really bad yeah I really find it worrisome I've
[TS]
02:16:26
◼
►
had a very worrisome as a platform that I really care about and someone will
[TS]
02:16:31
◼
►
love but that seems to be floundering at an executive level you know there's just
[TS]
02:16:36
◼
►
had some more executive shakeup site where there that they've had like three
[TS]
02:16:41
◼
►
had to product in the last like two years and the last one they just demoted
[TS]
02:16:47
◼
►
was only there six months it's it's very worrisome in this draft statement
[TS]
02:16:52
◼
►
doesn't make me feel any better about it it's like every other day about the net
[TS]
02:16:58
◼
►
neutrality we're like to meet President Obama's statement on it was very clearly
[TS]
02:17:06
◼
►
written and that there might be room to disagree there might be a reasonable
[TS]
02:17:10
◼
►
argument against it but I thought that his arguments in favor of it we're very
[TS]
02:17:14
◼
►
clearly expressed 1234 here's the reasons that we should make sure we keep
[TS]
02:17:20
◼
►
it keep this sort of not favoring one companies packets over another companies
[TS]
02:17:25
◼
►
packets on an internet keep it the way it is
[TS]
02:17:29
◼
►
which has been that all packets are treated equally
[TS]
02:17:32
◼
►
and the arguments on the other side from the cable companies and the phone
[TS]
02:17:36
◼
►
providers so obtuse and it's like you can read them and their their words
[TS]
02:17:42
◼
►
words but damned if I know what damned if I know what the what the meaning is
[TS]
02:17:51
◼
►
yeah other than the old Senate Live skit with frankenstein and caveman and
[TS]
02:17:58
◼
►
Frankenstein and yeah they sing Christmas carols
[TS]
02:18:05
◼
►
like kevin newman who is Frankenstein and he never said was bad I can't help
[TS]
02:18:20
◼
►
but think that the argument in the face against this net neutrality is more or
[TS]
02:18:25
◼
►
less a knee jerk frankenstein Ian regulation bad regulation is basically
[TS]
02:18:31
◼
►
right and I'm not one in favor of red tape and bureaucracy it's not you know I
[TS]
02:18:37
◼
►
really think you have to see government regulation as as a continuum you know a
[TS]
02:18:42
◼
►
scale from light graded our current not zero not not binary you know on her off
[TS]
02:18:48
◼
►
and these companies are regulated already would you know it's not like
[TS]
02:18:52
◼
►
Comcast doesn't face for some regulations it's the regulations kinda
[TS]
02:18:56
◼

favor consumers and and small companies start-ups are multi-billion dollar
[TS]
02:19:04
◼
►
stack the deck in favor of Verizon New made who's making eight billion dollars
[TS]
02:19:09
◼
►
because they need they need yeah and I can't I should the whole cynicism behind
[TS]
02:19:17
◼
►
that I can't even understand because so there is that the comment that tweet by
[TS]
02:19:25
◼
►
Ted Cruz yes senator from Texas read the texts you know
[TS]
02:19:34
◼
►
and he said it's the way the Obamacare for the internet rain rain right and
[TS]
02:19:42
◼
►
what's not have the internet operate at the speed of government right and I
[TS]
02:19:47
◼
►
tweeted something back to you know some basic I insulted him and his
[TS]
02:19:52
◼
►
intelligence and and Josh Saunders is the editor to correctly pointed out that
[TS]
02:19:59
◼
►
he's the guy graduated magna cum laude from Harvard or something yeah that's
[TS]
02:20:07
◼
►
right but you know he's actually not an idiot it's just the nasa like he's
[TS]
02:20:18
◼
►
protecting his buddies at the big cable industry's the aids is like a loud I
[TS]
02:20:27
◼
►
guess if I ever went to harvard is well with my grades and never really never
[TS]
02:20:35
◼
►
came up
[TS]
02:20:36
◼
►
yeah it's definitely not a dummy but he's definitely a cynical because he
[TS]
02:20:40
◼
►
knows how to communicate at this sort of caveman level of Internet government
[TS]
02:20:47
◼
►
regulation bad goes no further and you know it's the same people who think that
[TS]
02:20:56
◼
►
the government should cut back on handouts and not decrease the size of
[TS]
02:21:01
◼
►
their medicare check sure social security right that it's the other hand
[TS]
02:21:06
◼
►
out keep government out of my social security the government out of my system
[TS]
02:21:11
◼
►
like that you ask people if you think the government should stay out of social
[TS]
02:21:14
◼
►
security and you get like a 60 percent response rate this
[TS]
02:21:17
◼
►
yes keep them out of social security
[TS]
02:21:20
◼
►
but anyway I'm deeply worried about Twitter and their yeah yeah I did they
[TS]
02:21:27
◼
►
thinking about the future that does not make me very happy
[TS]
02:21:31
◼
►
yeah I can't help but think that the translation from whatever language that
[TS]
02:21:35
◼
►
is written in the English that the reach the largest daily audience in the world
[TS]
02:21:38
◼
►
by connecting everyone in the world
[TS]
02:21:41
◼
►
something something something they want to be more like Facebook is to me what
[TS]
02:21:47
◼
►
that means because Facebook is more popular that the target of this message
[TS]
02:21:51
◼
►
was not normal people it was two bankers investment people in you know people
[TS]
02:21:55
◼
►
who've kept Twitter's stock its I think it last I checked it slightly below
[TS]
02:22:01
◼
►
where the IPO last year so it hasn't created hasn't tanked but nobody has an
[TS]
02:22:05
◼
►
IPO and hopes that the stock is flat first year you know and so there is some
[TS]
02:22:11
◼
►
definite skepticism and that this is a dress that the people who have kept
[TS]
02:22:15
◼
►
their stock to press and in the meantime Facebook is going up and up and up and
[TS]
02:22:19
◼
►
to me the translation of this is we're going to somehow try to be more like
[TS]
02:22:23
◼
►
Facebook whereas to me the whole point of Twitter is that it's sort of an anti
[TS]
02:22:27
◼
►
Facebook and whether that means that inherently they're always going to be
[TS]
02:22:31
◼
►
smaller than Facebook financially and user-based wise so be it but at least be
[TS]
02:22:35
◼
►
true to yourself you know and the whole reason that you had any success at all
[TS]
02:22:40
◼
►
is that you're not then right there's nothing wrong sometimes a great idea
[TS]
02:22:46
◼
►
isn't going to be the most successful version of that idea that Twitter i
[TS]
02:22:50
◼
►
think is genius and his so well designed and so clever in so many ways but maybe
[TS]
02:22:55
◼
►
the ways that it's genius and simple inherently mean that it can never be as
[TS]
02:23:00
◼
►
big as Facebook and so be it can still be profitable
[TS]
02:23:03
◼
►
you know that to me is the the scary part of their strategy statement is that
[TS]
02:23:10
◼
►
to me is it somehow translates into we're going to wreck what makes twitter
[TS]
02:23:14
◼
►
twitter
[TS]
02:23:16
◼
►
well interests addresses nothing about what users liked about her know that
[TS]
02:23:25
◼
►
seems to be that that to me seems like the thing that you should be doing the
[TS]
02:23:30
◼
►
things you should be doing primarily in your mission statement and really only
[TS]
02:23:34
◼
►
in your mission statement and that's what makes them a mission statement and
[TS]
02:23:40
◼
►
make it makes it reach people and I worked at work in a financial services
[TS]
02:23:44
◼
►
company back when it was good but when the company was going around the company
[TS]
02:23:53
◼

was good I think it was because of your time by the whole industry 300 you know
[TS]
02:23:58
◼
►
announced the company they worked at their mission statement was improving
[TS]
02:24:02
◼
►
financial security for people that's not bad
[TS]
02:24:05
◼
►
