[TS]
00:00:04
◼
►
don't really you don't really have a vested interest in any of the particular
[TS]
00:00:07
◼
►
teams and then I get like I develop a little mini interest in one of the teams
[TS]
00:00:11
◼
►
and you know how it was we were talking about the journal World Cup where like
[TS]
00:00:17
◼
►
to TNC you don't really care about our plan and then one of them will do
[TS]
00:00:20
◼
►
something and it's like that's my teen then they're they're like invested for
[TS]
00:00:25
◼
►
like you're like a fan for an hour
[TS]
00:00:27
◼
►
yeah until the duration is is over and then then this penalty kicks and you
[TS]
00:00:33
◼
►
don't give a crap right now I became a temporary fan of the Los Angeles Dodgers
[TS]
00:00:39
◼
►
simply because their manager Don Mattingly who was he was on the Yankees
[TS]
00:00:44
◼
►
when I was growing up use my boyhood very you think to do that is so
[TS]
00:00:50
◼
►
arbitrary it's crazy he was my favorite Yankee growing up he was awesome
[TS]
00:00:55
◼
►
always loved the managers Yankees thats if your answer
[TS]
00:01:02
◼
►
yeah he played first base he was an all-star first baseman for the Yankees
[TS]
00:01:05
◼
►
through the eighties and then sort of the tragic career he's he's the without
[TS]
00:01:12
◼
►
doubt the greatest new york yankee who never won World Series and not only
[TS]
00:01:17
◼
►
never won a World Series II never won a playoff series he played right after the
[TS]
00:01:22
◼
►
Reggie Jackson era Yankees had won some World Series and then he played right
[TS]
00:01:26
◼
►
through the eighties and early nineties when the Yankees were actually pretty
[TS]
00:01:29
◼
►
bad overall he was a star player in pretty bad team and then in his last
[TS]
00:01:34
◼
►
season cut short he added relatively short career than most players had a bad
[TS]
00:01:39
◼
►
1995 from injury yea well just wear and tear who knows he can't have a funny
[TS]
00:01:45
◼
►
batting career he squatted over maybe that contributed to a bad back so it's
[TS]
00:01:49
◼
►
going to be as last year and Yankees made the playoffs for the first time in
[TS]
00:01:52
◼
►
a long time and they lost a
[TS]
00:01:56
◼
►
a game 5 in a five-game series to the Seattle Mariners john bolton Steam
[TS]
00:02:01
◼
►
Canadians then he retired and then then starting in ninety six the Yankees won
[TS]
00:02:08
◼
►
for the next by world leaders so yeah so he sort of a tragic figure in my mind
[TS]
00:02:15
◼
►
and now he's managing the Dodgers and they are still working in the field
[TS]
00:02:19
◼
►
that's not everybody gets to do that well now that's true and they just right
[TS]
00:02:26
◼
►
before we started recording their blood since Dodgers were eliminated just like
[TS]
00:02:33
◼
►
the cherry on his shit Sunday basically and it was closed Davis 322 heartbreaker
[TS]
00:02:39
◼
►
so you know what you turning the amount on baseball little bit for the playoffs
[TS]
00:02:43
◼
►
playoff baseball as a different sport and see if anything is good but yeah I
[TS]
00:02:48
◼
►
can see how a lot of people someone who doesn't really get it would could get it
[TS]
00:02:51
◼
►
seemed things to me with with the soccer there I'm not gonna really watch regular
[TS]
00:02:55
◼
►
season soccer but I i'm into the World Cup now yeah
[TS]
00:02:58
◼
►
euro to you stick your as we're going to have to pick something you know what i
[TS]
00:03:11
◼
►
mean your competition with panelists and left it what I like about soccer is the
[TS]
00:03:18
◼
►
end and it's kind of what you guys discuss it then surely the school and
[TS]
00:03:23
◼
►
doesn't matter it's two stories to get too old after the game with Derek Jeter
[TS]
00:03:29
◼
►
where you could both counts crazy moves it he did and you know not want to do
[TS]
00:03:38
◼
►
you ever heard him mention the scoreline right and if you look at that sort of
[TS]
00:03:43
◼
►
spreadsheet like you know here's the game reduced in numbers it just doesn't
[TS]
00:03:47
◼
►
it doesn't show up it doesn't pop off the page ya when I'm dismissive of a
[TS]
00:03:52
◼
►
statically baseball stats right only because without context so much that is
[TS]
00:03:57
◼
►
completely
[TS]
00:03:58
◼
►
I was adverse to baseball for many years probably still AM because it seems to
[TS]
00:04:07
◼
►
finish my stats in a way because nothing else going on sometimes yeah it lends
[TS]
00:04:13
◼
►
itself to it to its the page 22 game that lends itself to the keeping of
[TS]
00:04:19
◼
►
innumerable statistics and there's ways to show that all sorts of those
[TS]
00:04:25
◼
►
statistics correlate at least in some way to winning and losing and surely you
[TS]
00:04:31
◼
►
know it's just lend itself to just elaborate elaborate statistical analysis
[TS]
00:04:37
◼
►
and i ended up dead to me off though because when you start telling stories
[TS]
00:04:40
◼
►
about Derek Jeter whoever I'm all into that I love that stuff at that's kind of
[TS]
00:04:46
◼
►
way I like soccer and wanna say heroism but it's the you know if it's the ups
[TS]
00:04:55
◼
►
and downs of individual players teams and two catches my attention
[TS]
00:05:00
◼
►
yeah bottom line for me and i know i every week there's always somebody out
[TS]
00:05:05
◼
►
there but the bottom line from the pline it to it fits right in with Iran like
[TS]
00:05:11
◼
►
technology since yeah who's a big baseball fan likes football to USB but
[TS]
00:05:17
◼
►
you know obviously with all the in comparable-store he does he he consumes
[TS]
00:05:20
◼
►
an enormous amount of fiction narrative fiction it to me a lot of sports fans
[TS]
00:05:27
◼
►
release that like in my friend mad parlance Tatra story is the story guys
[TS]
00:05:33
◼
►
like me we watch sports for the same reason we like to watch things like
[TS]
00:05:36
◼
►
movies is there's drama but it's the weird thing with sports with a movie it
[TS]
00:05:42
◼
►
sensibly there's always gonna be drama and there's always going to be a good
[TS]
00:05:45
◼
►
ending good stories sometimes a sports game is just boring because one team
[TS]
00:05:50
◼
►
jumped out nothing crazy
[TS]
00:05:55
◼
►
so you can't fake and then all of a sudden sometimes it's the read it two in
[TS]
00:05:59
◼
►
the ninth inning and the bases are loaded and nobody is out and you've got
[TS]
00:06:03
◼
►
a real story and nobody there is no one person like an officer or director who
[TS]
00:06:08
◼
►
gets to decide how it turns out based on what they think you know and it's that
[TS]
00:06:13
◼
►
differences that realness it's that sometimes is you know you know the good
[TS]
00:06:18
◼
►
guys meaning the team I'm rooting for you are going to lose they're not always
[TS]
00:06:24
◼
►
gonna win like this
[TS]
00:06:26
◼
►
dodgers manager right good go rest ye merry his nickname literally I swear to
[TS]
00:06:32
◼
►
God his nickname is Donnie baseball as it is like this game right
[TS]
00:06:40
◼
►
done a baseball how does he get like that's crazy had to get that nickname is
[TS]
00:06:46
◼
►
like the baseball players baseball player Billy hes that can I swear to god
[TS]
00:06:52
◼
►
did I heard it the other day he's the guy who there's a YouTube clip of it
[TS]
00:06:56
◼
►
like in the regular season game in 1985 there was a foul ball that because I pop
[TS]
00:07:01
◼
►
up going over into the stands and he ran over to see if he could catch it and it
[TS]
00:07:04
◼
►
went too far into the stands can catch 'it meanwhile there's a kid in the front
[TS]
00:07:08
◼
►
row eating box of popcorn in the kid turned around to the ball landed and
[TS]
00:07:13
◼
►
Mattingly just reaches over and takes a handful and then he just took it turns
[TS]
00:07:19
◼
►
around and is like whoa Don Mattingly just don't have and in mattingly just
[TS]
00:07:24
◼
►
give them a little not like thanks for bob
[TS]
00:07:27
◼
►
goes back to first base to finish the game
[TS]
00:07:31
◼
►
rate that that's why he's done like while playing at the highest level he's
[TS]
00:07:37
◼
►
also thinking that's perfect see ya that's that's way better than what was
[TS]
00:07:45
◼
►
batting average yeah right but he took the popcorn that cool to me he's on my
[TS]
00:07:54
◼
►
fantasy team immediately they're talking on sports if anybody's listening stop
[TS]
00:08:05
◼
►
first of all second a sports game but I do enjoy stories right now
[TS]
00:08:11
◼
►
yeah to me that's listed though it's just the way it's a way of hopefully
[TS]
00:08:15
◼
►
manufacturing some actual drama that's gonna be it's going to come to a
[TS]
00:08:20
◼
►
conclusion
[TS]
00:08:22
◼
►
fair and square abilities of the people involved not even fair and square if you
[TS]
00:08:28
◼
►
get it just right
[TS]
00:08:30
◼
►
but even then it adds to the story
[TS]
00:08:36
◼
►
yes and the other thing too about to me it makes what's appealing is that it's
[TS]
00:08:42
◼
►
the fact is the complaint that a lot of people have about sports is that will it
[TS]
00:08:46
◼
►
pointless but that's sort of what makes it it makes it exciting because you can
[TS]
00:08:50
◼
►
get all invested in it and the team you're rooting for more invested win
[TS]
00:08:53
◼
►
lose and it's you know it hurts and you're upset and you feel terrible for a
[TS]
00:08:59
◼
►
day but ultimately it's ok because it was just nothing only invested what
[TS]
00:09:05
◼
►
you've put on the table like right this is something change anybody's life right
[TS]
00:09:11
◼
►
whereas in that she actually bit heavy which don't want to that way but whereas
[TS]
00:09:16
◼
►
concentrating something
[TS]
00:09:19
◼
►
even more dramatic but beware the stakes are real like you know the situation in
[TS]
00:09:25
◼
►
the Middle East between Israel and Palestine or Isis outfit anything like
[TS]
00:09:32
◼
►
all sorts of incredibly exciting drama involved great stories to be told but
[TS]
00:09:39
◼
►
the stakes are so real it's real stuff you can't you can't take it lightly and
[TS]
00:09:43
◼
►
can you know when when there's a big turn of events you can't go well that
[TS]
00:09:46
◼
►
was some butt to bed he you know yeah I know I think with sports
[TS]
00:09:51
◼
►
win or lose in a way you can always laugh at yourself right like I can't
[TS]
00:09:56
◼
►
believe how so happy that just Bantam team did this random thing I can't
[TS]
00:10:01
◼
►
believe it was so bummed out that they lost ya with real life stuff like you
[TS]
00:10:09
◼
►

►

[TS]
00:10:40
◼
►
other movie ever think that that's actually an interesting argument I would
[TS]
00:10:44
◼
►
almost certainly think that that is closed right I mean right if you assume
[TS]
00:10:49
◼
►
we don't know learn much about alder and that's assuming was roughly earth like
[TS]
00:10:53
◼

[TS]
00:24:25
◼

talked to said that there's any sense that he single-handedly pulled the
[TS]
00:24:29
◼

trigger
[TS]
00:24:30
◼

deserves that anybody other than the entire company deserves some credit for

00:24:35
◼

the for the fiasco
[TS]
00:24:37
◼

you know business week made it sound like one guy was hitting the button and
[TS]
00:24:41
◼
►
saying is ready to go and his role his role on maps was had nothing to do with
[TS]
00:24:49
◼
►
the maps data it was the maps app which nobody I which I know for users they
[TS]
00:24:54
◼
►
don't have it doesn't make a difference they don't see a difference between the
[TS]
00:24:57
◼

data and the app but anybody who's listening to this show goes through
[TS]
00:25:02
◼

knows the difference you know what anybody reporting on technology for
[TS]
00:25:05
◼

business should know the different right it's like being you know it's it's bad
[TS]
00:25:13

it's sort of like the difference between your email client and what's in your
[TS]
00:25:18
◼
►
emails you know your email clients fault if the emails are full of junk and the
[TS]
00:25:24
◼
►
maps app worked fine it was just that it had bad data and you know empty dated
[TS]
00:25:30
◼

that it was missing a lot of data we had nothing to do it it was that wasn't what
[TS]
00:25:33
◼

he was cute
[TS]
00:25:34
◼
►
there is listed in business week is like you know any insinuation it wasn't quite
[TS]
00:25:40
◼
►
direct but the only insinuation you could draw from it is that was the worst
[TS]
00:25:44
◼
►
thing though is that it was an insinuation it wasn't lake
[TS]
00:25:47
◼
►
putting out the word behind the error like at least I will be adding this is
[TS]
00:25:53
◼

just more like this was a backhanded gossipy stuff and it's like the
[TS]
00:25:57
◼

insinuations Apple has at least one inept bozo who's still you know after he
[TS]
00:26:05
◼
►
made a terrible mistake with the maps this dole bringing new iPhone which has
[TS]
00:26:11
◼
►
so far just somebody by the game I'll tell you why I never told this story
[TS]
00:26:21
◼
►
publicly I don't think but I well the writer of this one of the riders on that
[TS]
00:26:26
◼

me yours truly John Gruber which I went along with half heartedly I did talk to
[TS]
00:26:43
◼

him to get thirsty bear in france is your first mistake and I met with a
[TS]
00:26:51
◼
►
colleague of his here in Philly for follow-up questions about what I do
[TS]
00:26:55
◼

phenomenon and it was well as opposed to me initially as a deer gonna write a
[TS]
00:26:59
◼
►
piece about the independent pack journalism web people like me and Arnold
[TS]
00:27:06
◼
►
cam rumors and maybe Jim Dalrymple and other people like that you know people
[TS]
00:27:12
◼
►
who are covering Apple but you know either individuals like me or you know
[TS]
00:27:18
◼
►
publications like the loop
[TS]
00:27:22
◼
►
and it became very obvious to me as the interviews progress that it was not
[TS]
00:27:28
◼
►
going to be that there was more just about me which I found uncomfortable and
[TS]
00:27:32
◼
►
I encourage them to not make it about me and make it about all of us together
[TS]
00:27:37
◼
►
of which I'm just one example and so I kind of and as it became clear to me
[TS]
00:27:44
◼
►
it's participated lessons and you know I don't think I wasn't rude and I didn't
[TS]
00:27:50
◼
►
stop talking to them but I stopped participating and they asked me to pose
[TS]
00:27:55
◼
►
for a photograph refused that's awkward well i've seen the photographs the day
[TS]
00:28:05
◼
►
and published of others and he made people look goofy like I told them this
[TS]
00:28:10
◼
►

00:28:52
◼
►
somebody right it's boring to me I think a very photo i mean i think is good
[TS]
00:28:59
◼
►

[TS]
00:29:03
◼
►
that you smarter than that yeah it's a clown yeah yeah and and i've seen other
[TS]
00:29:12
◼
►
publications do this and I can also and so I wanted nothing to do with it and
[TS]
00:29:17
◼
►
you don't get to approve its not like if they shoot 20 photos of me I get to them
[TS]
00:29:21
◼
►
pick which one they can use their all there's yes
[TS]
00:29:25
◼
►
nor would I allow them to use any of the photos I have so they think if you look
[TS]
00:29:32
◼
►
at the profile their third party photos like a Creative Commons then from
[TS]
00:29:39
◼
►
flippers something but anyway that's the main point though is that they would
[TS]
00:29:47
◼
►
then towards the end they came out and asked the question I knew that they were
[TS]
00:29:51
◼
►
going to ask which is how much money do you and I said to them said on the
[TS]
00:29:57
◼

record I don't track cause he said really and I said really I don't keep
[TS]
00:30:06
◼
►
track and I said off the record and he said what I said dad what you doin I
[TS]
00:30:11
◼
►
just told you is what you can quote you can quote the world business week I
[TS]
00:30:15
◼
►
don't know any other than that I'm not going to talk about and he was a guy so
[TS]
00:30:24
◼
►
I could run out said sure I would love it if you read that right but instead
[TS]
00:30:28
◼
►
said Gruber wouldn't discuss it but somebody familiar with his finances who
[TS]
00:30:37
◼
►
happy with how I swear to God because he doesn't have permissions set paid his
[TS]
00:30:43
◼
►
income at $400,000 you have a big organizations I mean God knows who
[TS]
00:30:49
◼
►
leaked that made me so mad about that I i called Adam on it but privately and
[TS]
00:30:54
◼
►
publicly I didn't want to bring it up until now the talk show me they can do
[TS]
00:31:00
◼
►
it but I said I know that it bullshit I know that is bullshit is there's
[TS]
00:31:05
◼
►
literally only three people on the planet who have any familiarity with my
[TS]
00:31:10
◼
►
finances at all that mean my wife and my account and I guess maybe if there's a
[TS]
00:31:16
◼
►
fourth day would be somebody at the IRS who handles the tax return to my account
[TS]
00:31:21
◼
►
submit but
[TS]
00:31:23
◼
►
even and I doubt that there's anybody remembers my name I presume that those
[TS]
00:31:26
◼
►
things are completely yes just robot so there's literally only three people on
[TS]
00:31:31
◼
►
the planet and I know for a fact that he didn't speak to the corner and so what I
[TS]
00:31:44
◼
►
presume that I don't think he made it up I presume that what he did is he found
[TS]
00:31:47
◼
►
one person is sponsored by sight and asked you know what did you pay for the
[TS]
00:31:52
◼
►
sponsorship and multiplied it or something like that I don't know but
[TS]
00:31:56
◼
►
there's no way that it isn't rates any website right played the data what he
[TS]
00:32:04
◼
►
said though he did description he used in print in business week is absolutely
[TS]
00:32:09
◼
►
incompatible with any way that he could have a number yeah I thought that was so
[TS]
00:32:13
◼
►
telling will you know what it say he could get me a coffee go to this website
[TS]
00:32:18
◼
►
finally this number multiplied by 12 right doesn't it just right but I feel
[TS]
00:32:24
◼
►
like it's dishonest I feel like that's what he did then he should have said in
[TS]
00:32:28
◼
►
you know he should have a spell that out just like you didn't print and say
[TS]
00:32:31
◼
►
there's a ballpark estimate there you go
[TS]
00:32:33
◼
►
yeah you know what what he said was it somebody familiar with my finances you
[TS]
00:32:38
◼
►
didn't have which it's made me mad
[TS]
00:32:40
◼
►
two ways because the first way is that it's I know it's not true but the second
[TS]
00:32:45
◼
►
way is it insinuate that there's somebody those close to me who betrayed
[TS]
00:32:49
◼
►
which is even more angry that my secondary reaction in fact that actually
[TS]
00:33:00
◼
►
bothered me even more that somebody that I would I would share my finances with
[TS]
00:33:04
◼
►

[TS]
00:33:23
◼
►
information attributed to people familiar with the matter
[TS]
00:33:27
◼

[TS]
00:33:38
◼

you know just being here Palin know that no thats nobody would do that I don't
[TS]
00:33:46
◼

[TS]
00:33:53
◼

whatever we are tracked way putting it in a way of severe it can be a pain in
[TS]
00:34:06
◼

the ass right at least three months after the OS comes out your spic some
[TS]
00:34:10
◼

bugs you know and you know during that time hopefully the management is
[TS]
00:34:16
◼

trying to discern which the major teaches it can be able to make it into
[TS]
00:34:20
◼

the next release and then you've got maybe you know between if you're lucky
[TS]
00:34:27
◼

three to six months to implement if you like me and then last screens squeezing

timeline that through December it was mostly heads down on fixing stuff and
[TS]
00:34:54
◼

doing stuff or 7.1 January and February I'm sure a lot of resources started
[TS]
00:34:58
◼

going towards Iowa seat but somewhat still finishing the final touches on 7.1
[TS]
00:35:05
◼

[TS]
00:35:10
◼
►
version of new stuff done for the next version of the OS and yeah I'm hesitant
[TS]
00:35:17
◼
►
to take months to certain phases right because you know I think that fluid but
[TS]
00:35:26
◼
►
you know the general process is you'll get a few lucky Buddha six months to
[TS]
00:35:33
◼

believe that Apple has a good line that goes out you know couple of versions at

least they have aspirations you doing so only in chunks of three to six months of

pure creative engineering rest of the time is dealing with the bugs you

created in the previous version and the bugs are you fixing in order to get the

current version out the door and

00:36:52

and I you know I think ultimately what they want to get out the door may be

00:37:00

running up against the limits of what they can achieve in that time frame
[TS]
00:37:04

yeah I totally agree with that I think they have compounded the problem I mean
[TS]
00:37:10
◼

if this all sounds very negative but in the end of God Mac OS iOS and now
[TS]
00:37:16

they've got to wash away all of them increasingly have to work together at a

think maybe I think they'll be difficulties down the road though

there's a lot of bootstrapping is quite the right word but it's your fitting

where you know the way that these things are integrated with each other which is

great and which is the way to go and which is better than the way that
[TS]
00:37:48

everything used to be a lot more siloed from Apple but the fact that it's all

geared together creates these weird hiccups when one of the gears isn't

00:37:58

ready yet
[TS]
00:37:59
◼

right i mean just one example but I think it's a major one is the photos
[TS]
00:38:05
◼

situation with Iowa where where are your photos and where they how many are
[TS]
00:38:10
◼

backed up and the ones that are you know to the iCloud in and the fact that
[TS]
00:38:16
◼

they're not even trying it with even with when you're seventy ships the new
[TS]
00:38:19
◼

Mac photo stuff they've already said they said back into biddy biddy see that
[TS]
00:38:23
◼

that wasn't coming till 2015
[TS]
00:38:25
◼
►
you know in terms of having the Mac be a full client towards this new iCloud
[TS]
00:38:30
◼
►
centric look yeah and and I heard it suggested that they were doing in swift
[TS]
00:38:37
◼
►
it it's not just takes that long to do that kind of it
[TS]
00:38:42
◼
►
right and that they know that because they have they do have some experience
[TS]
00:38:46
◼
►
with and it's always hard to estimate exactly it's impossible to write but
[TS]
00:38:53
◼
►
they know how long it took to write iPhoto and they know how long it took to
[TS]
00:38:56
◼
►
write a picture and they know how long a major update aperture took in how long
[TS]
00:39:00
◼

the major update to iPhoto talk and they knew that what they are undertaking with
[TS]
00:39:03
◼
►
this is you know in that scope me know that you know that's that's at nine ten
[TS]
00:39:08
◼

months away thing but it's such a big hole in the process
[TS]
00:39:14
◼
►
you know in the overall experience right now that nobody quite knows where their
[TS]
00:39:19
◼
►
photos are and how to make sure that they're everywhere
[TS]
00:39:23
◼
►
yeah I think it likely that they had not likely they were hurt their head this
[TS]
00:39:30
◼
►
kind of weird little you know as you describe it did cause not maybe leading
[TS]
00:39:34
◼
►
out exactly as expected and I don't think it's just so far but I think
[TS]
00:39:45
◼
►
institutions have to sort of adapt to this kind of interconnected stuff
[TS]
00:39:51
◼
►
they're committing to again you mention this on your show last week and i think
[TS]
00:39:57
◼
►
is one other point I took note that it's worth pointing out and just saying it
[TS]
00:40:01
◼
►
like a look we're literally armchair quarterbacks here we're just two guys
[TS]
00:40:05
◼
►
you know the drill just two guys you know observing from across the continent
[TS]
00:40:13
◼
►
and inside out with their leadership is running a hundred billion dollar a year
[TS]
00:40:18
◼
►
corporation you know and we're not I'm not trying to tell them I know better
[TS]
00:40:24
◼
►
i'm just still good stuff but I'm just say no as an observer if we want to just
[TS]
00:40:31
◼
►
take a step back and look at the state that the whole software ecosystem is
[TS]
00:40:36
◼
►
across the Apple board right now it's not good right now and September October
[TS]
00:40:43
◼
►
yeah and last year was very similar I thought yeah I mean last year having a
[TS]
00:40:51
◼
►
lot of his choc choc get up to when he was 72 changes for sale being gone right
[TS]
00:40:57
◼
►
so that's going to be the process and they didn't write that those of us who
[TS]
00:41:02
◼
►
know how long stuff takes we're still and still to this day I'm kind of in on
[TS]
00:41:06
◼
►
that they shipped Iowa 7 as even though as rough as it was in a short time as
[TS]
00:41:11
◼
►
they did they don't win should not have happened right knowing that it really
[TS]
00:41:15
◼
►
didn't start until after four stalls ouster you know Layton Layton year 2012
[TS]
00:41:21
◼
►
will I think some of the technical underpinnings did but certainly the
[TS]
00:41:24
◼
►
redesign was yeah and some of the new links of the design had started yet but
[TS]
00:41:30
◼
►
but as a look we're going to actually do this and we actually need to take this
[TS]
00:41:35
◼
►
style of design and apply it to everything up the bottom didn't start
[TS]
00:41:40
◼
►
until the forestall ouster reading of the John Prine John I'm from georgia's
[TS]
00:41:47
◼
►
all designed software and hardware a challenging putting that what's his name
[TS]
00:41:54
◼
►
in charge of software engineering
[TS]
00:41:59
◼
►
yeah yeah factory in charge of the engineering that's incredible time frame
[TS]
00:42:07
◼
►
and so we think we we we as observers and critics of the company were willing
[TS]
00:42:12
◼
►
to grant a little bit more grace last year with I was seventh bug innocent
[TS]
00:42:16
◼
►
till iowa 71 whereas this year it doesn't really seem it seems like an own
[TS]
00:42:22
◼
►
goal like a foreign force there yes I double greatly sportsman if I go on
[TS]
00:42:30
◼
►
Foursquare gold goes a little where is to dress like that they didn't quite
[TS]
00:42:36
◼
►
have to do is much add this as they needed to all at once they didn't have
[TS]
00:42:39
◼
►
to do third-party keyboards right now
[TS]
00:42:43
◼
►
right well didn't think I don't personally know I don't think so I'm
[TS]
00:42:49
◼
►
probably not I just don't think they needed to do it again tonight you do you
[TS]
00:43:01
◼
►
think that would have been called out I we're still does not support the White
[TS]
00:43:06
◼
►
Witch yeah I did i do think I do think that there was you know there's this
[TS]
00:43:11
◼
►
weird I mean the new singles out the bending yeah I do think that you know I
[TS]
00:43:19
◼
►
firmly believe I said this for years and I think people are so you can kind of
[TS]
00:43:23
◼
►
tell just chillin alone is not is not just there to to do ads you know that
[TS]
00:43:29
◼
►
you know it's not like marketing I think it's a bad rap and there might be some
[TS]
00:43:34
◼
►
companies that do it this way but that you know somebody create the product
[TS]
00:43:39
◼
►
designs aren't tied the company designs whatever it is and engineers make it
[TS]
00:43:42
◼
►
becomes real and it's finished and then they handed to marketing and they say
[TS]
00:43:46
◼
►
now sell it that's not out marketing works at Apple is somehow works at most
[TS]
00:43:51
◼
►
companies now are getting is just describing what the product is and
[TS]
00:43:55
◼
►
marketing is part of the design process of making sure that it fills a need and
[TS]
00:43:59
◼
►
that it's going to sell before it made yeah I mean I didn't get naturally and
[TS]
00:44:06
◼
►
building yesterday guess I'm gonna need and I mean they were both they're both
[TS]
00:44:13
◼
►
been in meetings with with bill right hand
[TS]
00:44:17
◼
►
know it's very much but the design process say this is not working the way
[TS]
00:44:20
◼
►
it like it to work
[TS]
00:44:21
◼
►
go make it is this feeling me and he's going two ways it's it's it's part of
[TS]
00:44:27
◼
►
the process they could be getting and then at the end of the process when it
[TS]
00:44:32
◼
►
is time to come up with actual slogans and billboards and here is the way we're
[TS]
00:44:38
◼
►
going to presented on stage at the intro event you're just there just describing
[TS]
00:44:42
◼
►
what it actually is like and I think that's very very true of almost all
[TS]
00:44:47
◼
►
Apple products is that the marketing really is pretty apt its well you don't
[TS]
00:44:52
◼
►
why I think because marketing has been and marketing is horrible word it's it's
[TS]
00:45:00
◼
►
been stained too often yeah yeah it's not inherently bad words sounded like a
[TS]
00:45:06
◼
►
geek culture take lie to people
[TS]
00:45:10
◼
►
no no it's not always said I I had the same conversation this week on Twitter
[TS]
00:45:15
◼
►
within the old dash and Gina Trapani think up they were the sponsors don't
[TS]
00:45:19
◼
►
fireball last week and that they think they described as social network
[TS]
00:45:23
◼
►
analytics on Twitter or even in my right up under fire by said look at Alex's
[TS]
00:45:28
◼
►
sullied word
[TS]
00:45:29
◼
►
yet don't think of it that way it's just useful information about you that you
[TS]
00:45:33
◼
►
would want to know and it's not like douchebags and and you even said that
[TS]
00:45:37
◼
►
it's like internally like Danny knows they couldn't say it but that they
[TS]
00:45:41
◼
►
thought it was looking like its social analytics but I swear it's not douchey
[TS]
00:45:45
◼
►
because it is nothing inherently wrong with the word analytics technically
[TS]
00:45:51
◼
►
literally by the definition that is what does and that is what you know marketing
[TS]
00:45:55
◼
►
is you know it is what it says it is but the word is just taken on a bad
[TS]
00:46:00
◼
►
connotation
[TS]
00:46:00
◼
►
ya no that's that's good advice and I totally understand that one of the
[TS]
00:46:07
◼
►
marketing stamps for iOS aid this year able not to silence it goes hand in hand
[TS]
00:46:13
◼
►
with the fact that the iPhones 60 bigger is it's the shut up about Android right
[TS]
00:46:20
◼
►
like light leak or or a bad way to put it but it's the here's the things that
[TS]
00:46:28
◼
►
he hears the reasonable reasons that somebody might choose Android over
[TS]
00:46:32
◼
►
iPhone here will will give you are answering them right so you like bigger
[TS]
00:46:38
◼
►
funds totally reasonable ok now we have bigger funds you like third-party
[TS]
00:46:43
◼
►
keyboards ok now we have third-party keyboards you like sharing information
[TS]
00:46:48
◼
►
directly between applications and you know doing that you know and that is all
[TS]
00:46:53
◼
►
the big highlight most of the big highlight features are these sort of
[TS]
00:46:57
◼
►
things that and read it got into first yea even Windows Phone have taken a bite
[TS]
00:47:05
◼
►
out of that stuff yeah I think Windows Phone with the sharing between
[TS]
00:47:09
◼
►
applications was you know I know and I had some states to first but I thought
[TS]
00:47:14
◼
►
the way that Windows did it was was more of a highly enough of us closer
[TS]
00:47:19
◼
►
yeah it was a lot more like Apple's services in Pakistan you know it's just
[TS]
00:47:26
◼
►
taken Apple you know all these decades to get back around to services from you
[TS]
00:47:33
◼
►
know why so for sell stunt on the idea of services in ways I was no I didn't
[TS]
00:47:39
◼
►
know that you know you did not show yet
[TS]
00:47:43
◼
►
well not out it was because every single app that exposes service as a West End
[TS]
00:47:53
◼
►
owes you just haven't looked at completely unwieldy Services menu oh
[TS]
00:47:58
◼
►
yeah well that's a great Paul ICIC services they do that literally because
[TS]
00:48:03
◼
►
I mean they have a password server and I like it I was works incredibly similarly
[TS]
00:48:10
◼
►
to Mac toes it you know how to implement services it's really pretty basic it's
[TS]
00:48:17
◼
►
like something goes on a pasteboard not not the one you copy and paste into but
[TS]
00:48:22
◼
►
separate one another app can then is invoked and pull something up that pace
[TS]
00:48:28
◼
►
but it does something with it and paste it becomes a backup to the baseboard and
[TS]
00:48:33
◼
►
then the app that you called it from just takes it from the peace with it is
[TS]
00:48:38
◼
►
it you can do copy and paste you can do services
[TS]
00:48:41
◼
►
yeah and it's just a very basic level specification of here's the datatype
[TS]
00:48:45
◼
►
here's the standard data types for services and here are the ones I'm
[TS]
00:48:49
◼
►
interested in Stinson me as a service I might only be interested in text yet so
[TS]
00:48:54
◼
►
don't even bother with me if the selection is something else it's dead
[TS]
00:48:58
◼
►
simple and bright idea good well it didn't want to put it into iowa's
[TS]
00:49:02
◼
►
because did the model the interaction would just eventually become cumbersome
[TS]
00:49:08
◼
►
and you can see it you can see it on Pakistan if you have enough third-party
[TS]
00:49:13
◼
►
absence and nobody looks at you and I do and maybe a few listeners but it's a
[TS]
00:49:19
◼
►
power user future
[TS]
00:49:20
◼
►
definitely
[TS]
00:49:21
◼
►
always been and will always be into unless they've totally revolutionized
[TS]
00:49:26
◼
►
with extensions yeah I mean some Mayakkam imagine if you know when you
[TS]
00:49:31
◼
►
ship desperate for the Mac I imagine you think you'll be surprised at how few
[TS]
00:49:41
◼
►
people use it but he kinda needs to be there to use the people who do use it
[TS]
00:49:45
◼
►
will definitely want yes and you can go into it so we're is a you'd never think
[TS]
00:49:53
◼
►
to look there you have to go to System Preferences on the Mac System
[TS]
00:49:56
◼
►
Preferences keyboards shortcuts services and there you get a list of all of the
[TS]
00:50:06
◼
►
services from all yes you have installed and then you can turn off the ones you
[TS]
00:50:09
◼
►
don't use and it's so who is everything that you would go there to manage the
[TS]
00:50:16
◼
►
system services go keyboard shortcuts services just such a weird hit and it is
[TS]
00:50:22
◼
►
a giant list yeah and it's also a mess too because the service can specify a
[TS]
00:50:27
◼
►
keyboard shortcut but there's nothing that stops to services and there's no
[TS]
00:50:33
◼
►
good no good way to resolve that I don't you know what the rules are like one of
[TS]
00:50:39
◼
►
them somehow when I don't know if it's the first one to claim it over the last
[TS]
00:50:42
◼
►
12 climate but one of them wins but it's not not because you the user you can
[TS]
00:50:47
◼
►
order the first or last one so it's right now the last one that the system
[TS]
00:50:52
◼
►
notice it but completely arbitrary anyway so long story short it yet the
[TS]
00:50:59
◼
►
idea of services could get next in iowa's and I thought you meant when i
[TS]
00:51:05
◼
►
when i when i tooth sucked before inside out I thought you meant the idea of
[TS]
00:51:10
◼
►
extensions for known
[TS]
00:51:13
◼
►
you're saying certain literally literally service that makes sense and
[TS]
00:51:17
◼
►
that's forced all that is best I think says he and and I imagine this purple me
[TS]
00:51:23
◼
►
to show you were gonna have to edit some stuff gets it probably shouldn't get it
[TS]
00:51:30
◼
►
publicly I i think that that was forced thailand is best because he's an old
[TS]
00:51:37
◼
►
next guy and services were kind of a feather in the cap for the Nexus time
[TS]
00:51:44
◼
►
for him to be like this we really don't want to go down this rabbit hole and I
[TS]
00:51:50
◼
►
think he was he had his eyes open enough to see that it didn't play out well and
[TS]
00:51:55
◼
►
I think part of the reason it didn't play out as well america has 10 as next
[TS]
00:51:59
◼
►
is that next never really had a lot of developers they had like some and send
[TS]
00:52:05
◼
►
the ones that they had even a third party ones where amazing right on the
[TS]
00:52:08
◼
►
group is still around
[TS]
00:52:09
◼
►
group started you know you know fantastic company but there weren't
[TS]
00:52:16
◼
►
people with next computers are never complaining about how long their
[TS]
00:52:19
◼
►
services manuals because all the apps word providing all these services have
[TS]
00:52:24
◼
►
that many at that is exactly what it was like five acts out there doing what is
[TS]
00:52:30
◼
►
right and i phone and say I'm gonna be schooling for like three weeks trying to
[TS]
00:52:37
◼
►
figure out where the services they want right like I when I upgraded to I was a
[TS]
00:52:43
◼
►
tad took the time and deleted all the apps that I had used in I figured if I
[TS]
00:52:48
◼
►
have been using the more than just delete it really everyone about just go
[TS]
00:52:51
◼
►
to the App Store and get back we shined
[TS]
00:52:55
◼
►
and I still have so many you know and their summers I haven't used it but
[TS]
00:53:01
◼
►
anyway still have so many apps I can't even imagine
[TS]
00:53:04
◼
►
yeah well I mean I imagine you just install apps to try them yeah I did the
[TS]
00:53:10
◼
►
same thing and it's a lot easier to get around the net and literally have great
[TS]
00:53:16
◼

chemistry so I dunno it's every now and then somebody notices to see what the
[TS]
00:53:26
◼

you I was just in case you get drunk and now I've got a tender to use its just
[TS]
00:53:41

01:02:22
◼

a lot like like Scott was better in knowing that we should we should kill a
[TS]
01:02:27
◼

couple of these features because we're not we're not going to ship on time
[TS]
01:02:30
◼

otherwise you know I don't know thought that was an interesting observation
[TS]
01:02:36

maybe that's not true and maybe there's you know people from Apple who are
[TS]
01:02:40
◼

listening to the show right now shaking their heads thinking my god that Scott

01:02:52
◼

leaving aside the design style of them which clearly opposition days his

01:02:58
◼

direction but in terms of how good were they when they shipped in September
[TS]
01:03:03
◼

they're not the not so good quality wise and I think in both cases it was because
[TS]
01:03:09
◼

of my I think it's too much to do any year I I honestly think it's too much
[TS]
01:03:15

doing here to be honest I've heard nothing bad about working under cut it

01:03:42

01:03:52
◼

the company happened maybe it's time to change management change it up a little
[TS]
01:04:01

it's unfortunate that since then we've had a couple of Phyllis releases iOS
[TS]
01:04:06
◼

releases did maybe you seem a little bit undercooked for lack of a better word
[TS]
01:04:16
◼

yeah and I i know you actually here to being locked to the hardware but I get
[TS]
01:04:23

to being overzealous with adding features because I mean two things right
[TS]
01:04:30

perspective I totally understand it but from this style of were gonna tell you
[TS]
01:04:53
◼

all about it at WWDC in June and I feel like they're a feel like they're painted
[TS]
01:05:00
◼

in a corner that what they've promised in June has to ship in September
[TS]
01:05:05
◼

yes yeah yeah and there's a couple of things that don't but that will be
[TS]
01:05:09

was there in October in a point release when Pakistan maverick ship because it

yeah this is just it's it's it's going to keep getting more complicated like
[TS]
01:06:00
◼

the interoperability is going to end up being difficult thing to address in a
[TS]
01:06:07
◼
►
lockstep manner and you need a lockstep but we don't need one but ideally you
[TS]
01:06:12
◼

would have a lock step at least for all of these features may be trying to play
[TS]
01:06:19
◼

devil's advocate maybe take a more optimistic view maybe though Iowa State
[TS]
01:06:24

the pixels they're thrown on screen across the system at once in nine months

01:06:51
◼

well in her and even further in her apt and interred device communication and

01:06:59

that maybe you know things can slow down in terms of how much cabins year over
[TS]
01:07:04

friction between two different cultures to I like to think of it as a

reunification that the the next side jobs created clearly had Apple DNA I
[TS]
01:19:08

couldn't agree more just you know but then they were separated by years like

01:19:13
◼

you know again at the draught 22 dramatic an analogy but like East

01:19:19

Germany and West Germany but then when the wall came down

yeah it was rough for a couple of years because it's been so different on the

01:19:25

two sides but germans know so I told a great so I came to this from the next
[TS]
01:19:32

point of view if not actually having been super invested in next and I would

01:19:38
◼

read you in syracuse and disagreements on the technical issues but you know I'm
[TS]
01:19:48

right I think we share the same philosophy in a lot of ways I think
[TS]
01:19:54
◼

we're all pretty much of one minded by this point right yeah I get insatiable
[TS]
01:19:59
◼

desire for nice things right and white what you would tribute to being a nice
[TS]
01:20:03
◼

thing i think is changed over the years
[TS]
01:20:07
◼

yeah but ultimately it's the same like you say it like a DNA right and you know
[TS]
01:20:18
◼

once the initial frictions off but I really years though I had very strong
[TS]
01:20:22

opinions on issues and almost always erred on the side of the traditional Mac

01:20:28

addressing files by path instead of file I D Nicklas ok with 20 year old argument
[TS]
01:20:55

at this point to get it right but ultimately if people have done what you
[TS]
01:20:59
◼

wanted them to do
[TS]
01:21:00
◼

did we start no I don't think so I think I would have gotten to where we are now
[TS]
01:21:08

anyway it's just where you are now well I don't know what did I say that I am
[TS]
01:21:17

NOT click this is a cool looking at the website of it and this is really unfair
[TS]
01:21:21

I don't have anything from this period that you can call me on to being stupid
[TS]
01:21:26

and I'm sure ways and I don't think this is stupid but you literally very I'm not

claiming that new karen was perfect in every way and not in any position to

01:21:38

make such judgments that's great but by all accounts the idea of using new

01:21:43
◼

kernel method mock was never even considered by two billion no matter what
[TS]
01:21:48
◼

eventually which the act because swapping on a new kernel remember was
[TS]
01:21:57
◼

designed from the outset as a colonel to power future our PC based Mac operating
[TS]
01:22:03

systems
[TS]
01:22:13
◼

superior peres management continuing weak spot in Mac OS it was at the time
[TS]
01:22:23
◼

you were completely correct now very true they saw so again they solved it in
[TS]
01:22:31
◼
►
a different way you know you could say that right but I don't know that
[TS]
01:22:35
◼
►
it was wrong and just saying but it was true that the commentary was different
[TS]
01:22:41
◼
►
because there was a cultural divide the kernel stuff is probably but no I mean I
[TS]
01:22:54
◼
►
know but another part to those i'd i'd
[TS]
01:22:58
◼
►
wasn't I didn't know enough about how the next system and I was thinking about
[TS]
01:23:02
◼
►
it more from like the open perspective maybe that was marked you but I thought
[TS]
01:23:08
◼
►
that was a little bit more abstract where it ran on Solaris it was marking
[TS]
01:23:12
◼
►
yeah it could well but that because like that open step ran on Solaris I thought
[TS]
01:23:19
◼
►
that Coco that the color you know and I that's what I thought that more or less
[TS]
01:23:27
◼
►
was I was thinking was that why couldn't they take Coco and do new kernel what
[TS]
01:23:33
◼
►
they did to get it running maybe that was a terrible idea maybe that's you
[TS]
01:23:37
◼
►
know that's what I don't know why I honestly dunno I i think you can always
[TS]
01:23:42
◼
►
probably right because they even had even had the cocoa later on when does
[TS]
01:23:48
◼
►
that mean that was they were missing and they've they actually thought maybe
[TS]
01:23:50
◼
►
they'd still ship that at first they were going to ship the yellow box from
[TS]
01:23:54
◼
►
India I mean did the open simply the cocoa later today can ship on a bunch of
[TS]
01:24:01
◼
►
different sizes and to be honest probably will in the future
[TS]
01:24:06
◼
►
eventually gonna swap out the underpinnings I i shouldn't be passing
[TS]
01:24:12
◼
►
judge and again from a computer so you literally say I am NOT in any position
[TS]
01:24:16
◼
►
to make judgments and you said it back in 2002 really not trying to be a dick
[TS]
01:24:21
◼

about it but it's worth it discussion right but there was it was a I was
[TS]
01:24:29
◼
►
expressing the frustrations from a lot of people in New within apple who were
[TS]
01:24:33
◼
►
there you know from the Mac side who knew that maybe that's just one example
[TS]
01:24:36
◼
►
but that there was a lot of Mac stuff that wasn't even considered you know
[TS]
01:24:40
◼
►
just because it was you know if it wasn't for the next item
[TS]
01:24:44
◼
►
yes and the only stuff that did survive the stuff that Nexon even have Quicktime
[TS]
01:24:50
◼

famously survived not because of QuickTime had a great AP I could come at
[TS]
01:24:54
◼

a horrible epi talk to anybody who have a program tonight and they get the
[TS]
01:24:59
◼

shakes but it was the fact that next in have anything they didn't have a
[TS]
01:25:04
◼

multimedia yeah they you know they needed you know QuickTime gave them
[TS]
01:25:08
◼

something they didn't even have a chance to be pleased with the court's yeah when
[TS]
01:25:15
◼

I was a big win because quick draw was much better if they did they did it
[TS]
01:25:21
◼

right right that was just you know that that was when I don't remember being
[TS]
01:25:26
◼

contentious though there might have been some of the best move should they did
[TS]
01:25:30

01:25:35

technically amazing things in 1984 1985 computers was not did not make it

yeah so yes of course the composite in Windows 7 was where it's time
[TS]
01:25:48
◼

yeah and at the time and was frustrated with Syracuse's we'd use because he
[TS]
01:25:54
◼

complain about resizing windows of every size with lifelike images to get the
[TS]
01:26:01
◼

classic Mac OS outline thing and I was a because it's cool and awesome but he's
[TS]
01:26:10
◼

come to see the product preview of it we're starting at five frames per second
[TS]
01:26:17
◼

is not tenable I remember at the time I was the years that I was working at
[TS]
01:26:26
◼
►
bare-bones software we get new developer basis of 10 and install them on you know
[TS]
01:26:34
◼

really good hardware and it wasn't like we were installing it on TV stuff
[TS]
01:26:38
◼

I remember watching Jim Korea is now a group with all the gym had just opened a
[TS]
01:26:48
◼
►
window and first he would grab the corner and resize it really really fast
[TS]
01:26:52
◼
►
and his eyes would start to roll that they need to grab the window title bar
[TS]
01:26:57
◼
►
and shake it over the screen as fast as he could and you'd see all of this
[TS]
01:27:00
◼
►
sharing I mean it was just no way they could keep up with you know James hand
[TS]
01:27:05
◼
►
just going side to side to side walk so it was so back you know what I think is
[TS]
01:27:13
◼
►
so interesting in between 2000 2001 Apple which went for it looks beautiful
[TS]
01:27:20
◼
►
even if it is painfully slow to 2006 Apple making the first version of iOS
[TS]
01:27:27
◼
►
which looked beautiful but never got was that it was a subtle shift in priorities
[TS]
01:27:34
◼
►
where i disagree with but here's the example that example as you load during
[TS]
01:27:42
◼
►
fireball Mobile Safari on the original iPhone running iOS one point out and you
[TS]
01:27:47
◼
►
start to scroll what do you see you saw that check report number the
[TS]
01:27:50
◼
►
checkerboard
[TS]
01:27:51
◼
►
so the scrolling always kept up with your finger but they would just dump the
[TS]
01:27:56
◼
►
contents show a checkerboard if they needed to do so it always felt like it
[TS]
01:27:59
◼
►
was perfectly responsive with your finger so you know but it wasn't showing
[TS]
01:28:05
◼
►
you the content in high fidelity and in fact with the checkerboard it would just
[TS]
01:28:10
◼
►
drop it completely and I thought you know I thought that was one of the most
[TS]
01:28:14
◼
►
genius decisions and all of the original I S one point out was that checkerboard
[TS]
01:28:18
◼
►
of course you know clearly the ultimate answer was to just keep up with your
[TS]
01:28:24
◼
►
finger with the actual content which is what all iPhones do today but in terms
[TS]
01:28:29
◼

of what they should do then the Mac OS 10 1.0 solution would have been for the
[TS]
01:28:35
◼
►
IRS to do really jittery shiri you know sharing
[TS]
01:28:39
◼
►
scrolling scrolling get real slow
[TS]
01:28:42
◼
►
page and get what they came up with in 2007 was delightful it actually even
[TS]
01:28:48
◼
►
know it was disappointing and slightly in first at all can keep the whole page
[TS]
01:28:52
◼
►
there but the fact that it no matter what you did what you saw those
[TS]
01:28:56
◼
►
checkerboard moving up in the screen kept pace with your finger was to me
[TS]
01:29:00
◼
►
delightful so I was initially disagreed but yet the check the instant
[TS]
01:29:07
◼
►
interaction is always better what I liked about Pakistan at the time when it
[TS]
01:29:17
◼
►
was released was that he was betting on the future like harder than it really
[TS]
01:29:23
◼

should've said the time when it ships the product I liked because I was more
[TS]
01:29:29
◼

on the dirty side of the scale I could see what they were doing but it wasn't a
[TS]
01:29:36
◼

great product
[TS]
01:29:38
◼

well and it's harder to bet on the future when you're behind but they did a

everybody on their toes so yes you know just going back to the main thesis of
[TS]
01:31:09
◼
►
this episode we're talking about is Apple doing too much per year maybe it's
[TS]
01:31:15
◼
►
better if they do a little bit too much per year then do a little too little too
[TS]
01:31:19
◼
►
per year right as a general rule of thumb if they have to air on one side or
[TS]
01:31:23
◼
►
the other and because humans are imperfect and because software planning
[TS]
01:31:27
◼
►
is imperfect and software management is imperfect
[TS]
01:31:31
◼
►
and suffer engineering is certainly imperfect you're never gonna get it
[TS]
01:31:35
◼
►
exactly right so if you have to take a guess whether you're gonna go a little
[TS]
01:31:38
◼
►
too fast or too little to slow it might be better to go too fast and you know
[TS]
01:31:42
◼
►
well and so i i agree with you but I'm gonna have to play devil's advocate to
[TS]
01:31:48
◼
►
the sake of conversation just before the show you sent me the link I was 8
[TS]
01:31:56
◼
►
adoptions has stagnated compared to 2007 adoption if it keeps happening it is
[TS]
01:32:06
◼
►
that's a bad sign I think this I think it's a really bad sign so these are
[TS]
01:32:13
◼
►
Apple's own numbers right which is really interesting to say damning but
[TS]
01:32:18
◼
►
right now
[TS]
01:32:19
◼
►
Apple has a web page on the App Store support page for developers and it tells
[TS]
01:32:25
◼
►
you that like once a week snapshot I think it's once a week as we record
[TS]
01:32:31
◼
►
today on October 7 the data comes from October 5th two days ago and it just
[TS]
01:32:36
◼
►
tells you
[TS]
01:32:37
◼
►
devices that have come to the App Store in the last week or something like that
[TS]
01:32:42
◼
►
here is what OS they were running and as you know twenty days after the release
[TS]
01:32:47
◼
►
of iOS aid it's about a 50 50 split Iowa seven forty-seven percent I was 8 47
[TS]
01:32:54
◼
►
percent and earlier versions the remaining 6% the reason that's bad
[TS]
01:32:59
◼
►
that's a means to be fair that's better than most other people in the industry
[TS]
01:33:03
◼
►
yeah but a year ago I was seven twenty days after it came out was it seventy
[TS]
01:33:10
◼
►
percent which is not it's not like that's well within you know outside
[TS]
01:33:14
◼
►
statistical variation
[TS]
01:33:19
◼
►
you know that's a big difference that's what is a 24 percent and you know there
[TS]
01:33:26
◼
►
might be almost certainly it's multi-faceted the reasons why but I
[TS]
01:33:30
◼
►
don't think it's outlandish at all I think it's almost certain that part of
[TS]
01:33:34
◼
►
it is that people out there feel like they've either had bad experiences in
[TS]
01:33:41
◼
►
the past when they've ok'd the ok a software update is available you wanna
[TS]
01:33:46
◼
►
install it and now they're more likely to hit cancel then they were otherwise
[TS]
01:33:51
◼
►
or is just what they're hearing from people about Iowa see how don't do it
[TS]
01:33:57
◼
►
you know I as i said i told Adrian not acted and she'd already heard people at
[TS]
01:34:07
◼
►
work that's a bad sign
[TS]
01:34:14
◼
►
you can't do that yeah like last week's episode of the show at Ben Thompson eyes
[TS]
01:34:21
◼
►
I just set off and I said you know that's the long-term if they keep having
[TS]
01:34:24
◼
►
a West releases like that it seems inevitable that that it's going to slow
[TS]
01:34:28
◼
►
the pace of adoption which is not in Apple's interests and it's not in the
[TS]
01:34:32
◼
►
interest of third-party developers like it's been a very virtuous circle for
[TS]
01:34:37
◼
►
Apple because their newest features are in front of more people and it you know
[TS]
01:34:42
◼
►
if it works well it makes people feel like hey my my year old iPhone is even
[TS]
01:34:47
◼
►
better than it was a year ago because I've got these cool new features and
[TS]
01:34:50
◼
►
it's good for developers because when newt new developer technologies come out
[TS]
01:34:55
◼
►
they can adopt them quicker than you know right away you know like the new
[TS]
01:35:01
◼
►
layout stuff and adaptive size stuff for new screens you can do that even though
[TS]
01:35:08
◼
►
at Iowa State only because Apple promises that you know a majority of
[TS]
01:35:12
◼
►
customers can be running I was a very soon
[TS]
01:35:14
◼
►
well I think like it's almost absurd that you can
[TS]
01:35:25
◼
►
great lands to look at Apple is to look at the priorities right which is at this
[TS]
01:35:32
◼
►
point pretty basic its Apple their customers and then third-party
[TS]
01:35:36
◼
►
developers I think that you know shipping buggy last updates initially
[TS]
01:35:45
◼
►
hurt them customers and that's probably the most trade ya and their customers
[TS]
01:35:50
◼
►
won't update and that's going to trickle down into throughput developers and then
[TS]
01:35:54
◼
►
adds did you know given the cycle of life that the feedback loop if
[TS]
01:35:59
◼
►
third-party developers can't count on customers have the OS updated they can't
[TS]
01:36:06
◼
►
deduct the good stuff to it
[TS]
01:36:08
◼
►
apple has released him to do it's it's a horrible cycle yeah as as the developer
[TS]
01:36:21
◼
►
that sucks did you know maybe I can't count on these new things but I think I
[TS]
01:36:28
◼
►
I think Apple is should probably save their customer service like
[TS]
01:36:33
◼
►
understand the priority system I think they've failed their own customers in in
[TS]
01:36:39
◼
►
a certain way to tell ya it might be you can't overestimate or underestimate her
[TS]
01:36:50
◼
►
know which ever whatever way works how much damage you can do to the trust
[TS]
01:36:56
◼
►
between the typical user of which there are now hundreds of millions of them so
[TS]
01:37:03
◼
►
they're not technical people at all they're just people who want to have i
[TS]
01:37:06
◼
►
phone that works on ipad
[TS]
01:37:09
◼
►
and the trust that they have an apple and that dialog box comes up and says a
[TS]
01:37:14
◼
►
new version of iOS device quickly tap here to install I think once you said no
[TS]
01:37:20
◼
►
one's why would you not say no again the second time you have to have been
[TS]
01:37:29
◼
►
trained to everything is great and then something but you know there's a little
[TS]
01:37:33
◼
►
boy who cried wolf angle to it and there's a bad metaphor because that the
[TS]
01:37:38
◼
►
kidnapped allegory is a liar and apples and doing this on purpose they don't
[TS]
01:37:42
◼
►
like everybody that Apple which is that all these features worked perfectly done
[TS]
01:37:48
◼
►
to show up every time the caicos we'll just do it gets get the kids better
[TS]
01:37:57
◼
►
solutions to this problem you know what you're gonna work inside for now anyway
[TS]
01:38:04
◼
►
so it can but but the the town's people's reaction though human nature
[TS]
01:38:09
◼
►
you know where if you feel like you've been burned a couple times and you feel
[TS]
01:38:12
◼
►
like you know my iPad got kind of slow and I thought I was seven is gonna make
[TS]
01:38:18
◼
►
you less likely to do it and I know that that that whole aspect gets you know the
[TS]
01:38:24
◼
►
Jackass way to overstated is that whole thing a game of last year with it was
[TS]
01:38:28
◼
►
planned obsolescence and well here's when I think now we're seeing why it's
[TS]
01:38:35
◼
►
so infuriating writes the last year there is there is there were people like
[TS]
01:38:39
◼
►
in the new york times every couple people should be in that hey I upgraded
[TS]
01:38:42
◼
►
my old iPhone it's a year older two years old and now it's slower Apple did
[TS]
01:38:47
◼
►
that on purpose because I want me to buy a new iPhone and I thought that was so
[TS]
01:38:51
◼
►
stupid because it's so little respect for people like if Apple had done that
[TS]
01:38:55
◼
►
on purpose isn't it a natural response for somebody who says hey I had I paid a
[TS]
01:39:00
◼
►
lot of money from my iPhone I did what Apple told me to do and I got slower
[TS]
01:39:04
◼
►
maybe I should try simpson fans something to the murky kind of thing for
[TS]
01:39:11
◼
►
me personally but I see the point I do
[TS]
01:39:14
◼
►
that's that's a perfectly rational reaction to it you know that's what I
[TS]
01:39:19
◼
►
had been the case yes but take the politics out of the fact that Android vs
[TS]
01:39:25
◼
►
iOS is sort of a political thing where we we've got we've got tribes you know
[TS]
01:39:30
◼
►
that you and I are part of this you know Mac Mini Mac iOS yeah I like to pretend
[TS]
01:39:35
◼
►
that I'm not but could not take it to something where there's there's less
[TS]
01:39:40
◼
►
really you know religious style for and I we try I do hope that I do to that
[TS]
01:39:45
◼
►
kind of try to stay above that and keep my mind open as best I can but to be
[TS]
01:39:49
◼
►
honest it you know and it's there in the people who listen to our show and just
[TS]
01:39:53
◼
►
I'm just saying no that like if you buy two brands are really close intertwined
[TS]
01:39:59
◼
►
in their histories and interpretations Honda and Toyota right that they're both
[TS]
01:40:03
◼
►
Japanese and they both have this reputation for quality and for
[TS]
01:40:07
◼
►
durability that you know you can buy a Honda or Toyota and it's a very good
[TS]
01:40:10
◼
►
likelihood its gonna last for over a hundred thousand miles and you know you
[TS]
01:40:15
◼
►
but Toyota's to two or three cars in a row and then you buy a toyota and you
[TS]
01:40:19
◼
►
get a bad one and it's you know has transmission problems two years and
[TS]
01:40:23
◼
►
doesn't that make you more likely to think a maybe I should try harder next
[TS]
01:40:27
◼
►
time right doesn't it make you think about Toyota did this on purpose cuz I
[TS]
01:40:31
◼
►
want me to buy another car right that's just it's counter to the brand and the
[TS]
01:40:35
◼
►
Apple brand is we make good stuff and it lasts at least into terms of technology
[TS]
01:40:40
◼
►
world last long and anything that anything that goes against that is off
[TS]
01:40:45
◼
►
the brand and off the message and off the relationship that they want to have
[TS]
01:40:49
◼
►
with their customers so I really think that that whole idea that that that its
[TS]
01:40:55
◼
►
planned obsolescence that new versions of iOS run poorly or less even less than
[TS]
01:41:01
◼
►
ideal leon older
[TS]
01:41:03
◼
►
devices such as wrong because I know from the people I know that Apple people
[TS]
01:41:07
◼
►
I know that Apple would quit if they were told they make this runs low on an
[TS]
01:41:10
◼
►
iPhone really I mean that sincerely with a friend at WWDC you will decide about
[TS]
01:41:18
◼
►
said literally I would quit if my boss came in to me and told me to do
[TS]
01:41:22
◼
►
something like that I would just immediately would pack up my stuff
[TS]
01:41:25
◼
►
because I get a job somewhere else am I gonna do you know why would I do
[TS]
01:41:28
◼
►
something like that you know even though it's not what you said but I would have
[TS]
01:41:33
◼
►
no respect for myself but Apple AAPL if anything Apple is Dec
[TS]
01:41:44
◼
►
attention yeah you start being like you know what cripple a phone in a year ago
[TS]
01:41:53
◼
►
judge me on either can get elsewhere like its fine these people can get a job
[TS]
01:42:00
◼
►
where they want the people I know an apple or the opposite where they would
[TS]
01:42:04
◼
►
take pride in the fact that you know I worked on you know I don't know I worked
[TS]
01:42:08
◼
►
on scrolling yeah and it still buttery smooth iPhone for us I totally agree
[TS]
01:42:15
◼
►
with you right and that's like a feather in my cap that it's you know 100%
[TS]
01:42:21
◼
►
somebody is trying to make things right and i think that this thing to go back
[TS]
01:42:27
◼
►
to this you know that the upgrade pace is apparently significantly off year
[TS]
01:42:33
◼
►
over year is to me a guy said the canary in the coal mine that those sort of hey
[TS]
01:42:39
◼
►
if you keep doing this it's gonna affected that it's come to fruition that
[TS]
01:42:44
◼
►
we've got a dead canary here
[TS]
01:42:46
◼
►
I feel like it to sprint to that is destroyed like a little bit off in the
[TS]
01:42:50
◼
►
soma stumbling at this point right and instead of saying like hey this could
[TS]
01:42:55
◼
►
happen you know it's actually happening and we're seeing you know the last lap
[TS]
01:43:01
◼
►
around the track was slower right that's not justice not just you and I the
[TS]
01:43:05
◼
►
commentators in the booth speculating maybe his lower the runners lower that
[TS]
01:43:09
◼
►
its aid you know can clock it faces off very very worrisome to me i i havent
[TS]
01:43:16
◼
►
looked it up on during for up I will before the show hits but I think it's
[TS]
01:43:19
◼
►
and there's a couple of somebody else has stated that backs up to mix panel
[TS]
01:43:22
◼
►
but the stuff from Apple I trust ya I mean it's the numbers I kinda had
[TS]
01:43:31
◼
►
imagined you can hold them to their phone numbers that I don't know why you
[TS]
01:43:34
◼
►
wouldn't want to I think I think that it's not like I don't think it's too
[TS]
01:43:40
◼
►
late I don't think they can not turn you know but I feel though that they've got
[TS]
01:43:45
◼
►
a shift priorities suddenly in favor of higher quality even at the expense of
[TS]
01:43:51
◼
►
doing less in the same amount of time
[TS]
01:43:55
◼
►
well I mean is it too late for the next cycle I don't know I don't know mark

fuhrman reported that they've got 8.1 8.2 and 8.3 intestine which is different
[TS]
01:44:11
◼
►
than most previous years they've only done a point one
[TS]
01:44:14
◼
►
and I you know who knows if that's the case or not it was unclear from his
[TS]
01:44:19

report how much of that was just coming from user agent strings that that they
[TS]
01:44:23

saw at 9 to 5 Mac and Google Analytics which are usually fake yeah I'm has it

into it but he also suggested though that he'd spoken to people who backed
[TS]
01:44:34
◼

that up 8.2 he's great he's got good sourcing allow the time I'm hesitant to

yeah yeah like for example like for example the fact that the six is in 61
[TS]
01:45:25
◼
►
and plus is in 56 doesn't mean that the six came after there's no right it
[TS]
01:45:31

doesn't mean that there were four iterations between it it is apparently

01:51:21
◼

yeah it's like you know BBEdit is not sure like 20
[TS]
01:51:28
◼
►
you need it you you know you need it is Apple is focusing on you know all across
[TS]
01:51:35
◼
►
the board like that's the way to survive when Apple has a built-in app that does
[TS]
01:51:39
◼
►
busy Cal physicality gets by by doing more and better than the built-in
[TS]
01:51:45
◼
►
calendar and yeah I mean you should you should note that the Mac so you know you
[TS]
01:51:55
◼
►
gotta say we can do better but you have to look at it and say Apple's always
[TS]
01:51:59
◼
►
going to do something that sort of very very basic for the built-in get where we
[TS]
01:52:06
◼
►
you tell me I don't know I think we were talking about we're wrapping up I think
[TS]
01:52:17
◼
►
the discussion on the annual cycle yeah they where where where do we think that
[TS]
01:52:25
◼
►
they should go from here and I'll write about and you know what
[TS]
01:52:29
◼
►
honestly I think that at this point the I think one of the problems is they've
[TS]
01:52:38
◼
►
committed themselves doing a major revision every year and that is and as
[TS]
01:52:45
◼
►
much as a marketing and Apple
[TS]
01:52:49
◼
►
done correctly I don't think you can commit yourself to doing as many new
[TS]
01:52:58
◼
►
features per year as they have been committing themselves to do and
[TS]
01:53:04
◼
►
integrating across all the product lines from the Mac to Iowa to the watch and
[TS]
01:53:11
◼
►
eventually to the Apple TV stuff maybe that's a little you know it'll
[TS]
01:53:18
◼
►
eventually thing
[TS]
01:53:22
◼
►
I I don't know what to do i mean maybe just get away from numbers at that point
[TS]
01:53:28
◼
►
like this I need to be iris and I next year we're going to just be like years
[TS]
01:53:34
◼
►
only to stay away
[TS]
01:53:38
◼
►
I don't know though I don't know either really don't know what will happen is
[TS]
01:53:44
◼
►
untenable field I see the center that of getting a reversion arms but on the
[TS]
01:53:50
◼
►
other hand it's like I really don't know what version numbers mean to people like
[TS]
01:53:54
◼
►
what does my dad and his iPad says that I point out is available how much of
[TS]
01:54:01
◼
►
that is gibberish and how much of it did you get the basic idea that they're just
[TS]
01:54:04
◼
►
you know the new number I don't know I mean he's not you know but I do want you
[TS]
01:54:11
◼
►
so that's a that's a great point but I do wonder instead internally and because
[TS]
01:54:16
◼
►
there's so involved in the industry and the particular way of looking at things
[TS]
01:54:21
◼
►
and they see in new version number meaning major new features made it I
[TS]
01:54:29
◼
►
need you know and I know this is off the beaten path
[TS]
01:54:39
◼
►
horse that's beaten on somebody's been beaten
[TS]
01:54:43
◼
►
yeah but to compare them to compare software version numbers to the
[TS]
01:54:53
◼
►
automobile industry and nobody's confused when they say the new 2015
[TS]
01:54:57
◼
►
under court at the 2016 underscored may not be its only every four three four
[TS]
01:55:05
◼
►
five years that they actually do like wow that's altogether new drivetrain
[TS]
01:55:09
◼
►
that's a new you know new body shape you know and in between you know the years
[TS]
01:55:15
◼
►
their incremental but they don't label them differently and they might
[TS]
01:55:20
◼
►
advertising more when there's a major new change right when they truly chap
[TS]
01:55:25
◼
►
grade the body and make it look a lot more modern than it bigger and has a
[TS]
01:55:29
◼
►
major new technology in the engine
[TS]
01:55:32
◼
►
they might spend more on the ad campaign that year than they did the year before
[TS]
01:55:35
◼
►
when it was an incremental version of the one before but they still just give
[TS]
01:55:39
◼
►
it a new year and I just say it's the 2016 and you know and that seems to work
[TS]
01:55:47
◼
►
pretty well for them I don't know and I always thought that that was sort of
[TS]
01:55:51
◼
►
with Microsoft was going for when they went from Windows 32312 windows
[TS]
01:55:56
◼
►
ninety-five was the summer let's not bother people with and then windows 98
[TS]
01:56:02
◼
►
and then they you know I guess there is a Windows 2000 ran in different
[TS]
01:56:06
◼
►
directions with XP I think maybe because they were I think it was a good idea but
[TS]
01:56:11
◼
►
you know they would announce something and then shipped here later I think that
[TS]
01:56:17
◼
►
victim and 82 got cold feet
[TS]
01:56:19
◼
►
yeah that they were having they were and and that they weren't doing it annually
[TS]
01:56:23
◼
►
in so you were still running Office 98 in the year 2001 and its old whereas if
[TS]
01:56:29
◼
►
it had just been a version number you might not think that whereas it really
[TS]
01:56:32
◼
►
seemed like and I don't know maybe there is something even it made it worse about
[TS]
01:56:36
◼
►
crossing the millennium and still running you know maybe but I mean I
[TS]
01:56:40
◼
►
works 11 yeah that was awful I think Apple can I stepped in that exact same
[TS]
01:56:46
◼
►
right so I beloved up to the same thing yeah I work 11 was was up to date up
[TS]
01:56:52
◼
►
until and it's funny because some people still like it better
[TS]
01:56:56
◼
►
yeah show that's awkward date and a bit of a Microsoft know me and my cousin
[TS]
01:57:02
◼
►
matter it's just the case that you know even the companies that are functioning
[TS]
01:57:06
◼
►
well it's just so take so long to ship big software projects so yeah I don't
[TS]
01:57:15
◼
►
know if getting rid of version numbers will be the problem I don't know if just
[TS]
01:57:18
◼
►
doing less in each one and letting you know I guess other couple people have
[TS]
01:57:22
◼
►
called it having a snow leopard moment you know like Apple said with Snow
[TS]
01:57:27
◼
►
Leopard but you know what a great but a great balls he lifted I can't think of
[TS]
01:57:36
◼
►
any other company in the industry ever literally ever
[TS]
01:57:40
◼
►
had a big event saying we have nothing new
[TS]
01:57:46
◼
►
we're just going to believe we're just gonna spend the next couple of months
[TS]
01:57:50
◼
►
and you know we've spent the last few months I'm gonna keep me in the next few
[TS]
01:57:55
◼
►
months you know cleaning up the foundation
[TS]
01:57:58
◼
►
whichever wellness was effectively a misdirection because they had GCD did a
[TS]
01:58:04
◼
►
bunch of changes and yeah they had done but it was a user features yeah it was
[TS]
01:58:11
◼
►
really hard to market right GCD Dec that wasn't just as she sees a perfect
[TS]
01:58:15
◼
►
example where ya think so yeah and I think Syracuse have pointed out that
[TS]
01:58:23
◼
►
perfectly in his review that you know no new features does not mean he had
[TS]
01:58:28
◼
►
nothing to write about if anything he had as much to write about his ever
[TS]
01:58:32
◼
►
before because he cares deeply about that sort of stuff but from like what do
[TS]
01:58:37
◼
►
you tell normal people who are just coming in for a new MacBook will what's
[TS]
01:58:41
◼
►
new in Snow Leopard it's well we've cleaned up under hood and it runs more
[TS]
01:58:45
◼
►
efficiently
[TS]
01:58:46
◼
►
it's better to write better as seen in conversation but it's you know it was a
[TS]
01:58:54
◼
►
fact that the lot of engineering resources had been committed to and
[TS]
01:58:58
◼
►
devoted to things like GCD in dark and stuff like that that wasn't users facing
[TS]
01:59:03
◼
►
and you know again it's it's in a sense sometimes not even sometimes almost
[TS]
01:59:09
◼
►
always the best marketing is to be completely honest you know and even if
[TS]
01:59:14
◼
►
it sounds like a funny thing for tech company to say no new features I don't
[TS]
01:59:20
◼
►
know what over well with everybody I know and I think in hindsight it was a
[TS]
01:59:23
◼
►
great release I agreed but I do you know everybody you know and everybody I know
[TS]
01:59:29
◼
►
right did ya that's been a small window yeah but you know it is but think about
[TS]
01:59:38
◼
►
the people you know you know like with a dream-like with you
[TS]
01:59:43
◼
►
recommending that she not update wouldn't you like to be able to tell her
[TS]
01:59:47
◼
►
next year when I was nine yet just go ahead and update its gonna make your
[TS]
01:59:51
◼
►
faster but really if you really believe that that was the case don't you think
[TS]
01:59:55
◼
►
that would go over well with her I mean I yeah like restoring a little bit
[TS]
01:59:59
◼
►
shaken Stephanie narrative told kato 2880 to do it covered
[TS]
02:00:08
◼
►
can be good just a little bit of trepidation ya next year just for me I
[TS]
02:00:17
◼
►
do like I think like a lot of people like she had iTunes Match turned on and
[TS]
02:00:24
◼
►
she updated she got a new phone and she updated her she had the phone said
[TS]
02:00:29
◼
►
Oliver music was there and then she went to the gym and there was like no musical
[TS]
02:00:33
◼
►
as I got welcome to iTunes Match and she blame me because she just knows that I
[TS]
02:00:41
◼
►
don't work at Apple and I certainly nothing to do with iTunes Match but she
[TS]
02:00:46
◼
►
blames me that the cloud is just unreliable and I said hey I think the
[TS]
02:00:51
◼
►
but I did as I turned off iTunes Match and I have all the music I want it on my
[TS]
02:00:55
◼
►
computer and I just sync to iTunes feel passionately as I see your phone turned
[TS]
02:00:59
◼
►
off iTunes Match plugged into a Mac and sink in said put all of her music on it
[TS]
02:01:05
◼
►
and now older music is there and she never gonna complaining it but I would
[TS]
02:01:09
◼
►
love to have been able to say to her yet just upgrade to Iowa State and it fixes
[TS]
02:01:12
◼
►
on the iTunes Match issues
[TS]
02:01:14
◼
►
yeah that makes sense to me i i haven't actually used iTunes Match but the
[TS]
02:01:21
◼
►
little things with the cloud stuff that works like yeah that's what I'm saying
[TS]
02:01:26
◼
►
like I used to really worry about back in a fight inside because I thought that
[TS]
02:01:30
◼
►
and it died I'd be screwed that's mostly no longer the case
[TS]
02:01:38
◼
►
yeah yeah I don't care about a new device gotta love it least it lists
[TS]
02:01:46
◼
►
everything that everybody can watch and I you know I can buy my new phone and I
[TS]
02:01:51
◼
►
can watch seen around on it as a body
[TS]
02:01:57
◼
►
so I don't really care about them well I think music not to go to lighten the
[TS]
02:02:07
◼
►
tension but I think music is very different from movies because with
[TS]
02:02:10
◼
►
movies if you you know you don't necessary
[TS]
02:02:16
◼
►
there's no real good reason to have all of your movies with you all the time on
[TS]
02:02:19
◼
►
your local device really the only time I worry but yeah something and even then
[TS]
02:02:27
◼
►
you're probably a load a handful of them and you can't stand to see their way
[TS]
02:02:31
◼
►
whereas you know what I listen to music for the next 90 minutes and you don't
[TS]
02:02:36
◼
►
have any of it on your device it you know it's a pain in the ass if you have
[TS]
02:02:40
◼
►
to sit there and wait for the most part the stuff does still just work where you
[TS]
02:02:48
◼
►
get a new device and sign in here if you don't restore from a backup and
[TS]
02:02:52
◼
►
designing your iCloud account and you say what was that book that I book and I
[TS]
02:02:56
◼
►
wanted to look back up there isn't it the club unjust comes down but it
[TS]
02:03:00
◼
►
doesn't always work sometimes it just download get stuck so what's your take
[TS]
02:03:09
◼
►
on this yearly update thing you know John group in 2002 he seemed to think it
[TS]
02:03:18
◼
►
was a great idea I think what like what would you be here they have you seen
[TS]
02:03:23
◼
►
this discussion now you know if you had to be this piece
[TS]
02:03:26
◼
►
well not to appease plywood and I think that they I think that they should go
[TS]
02:03:30
◼
►
there I think the annual pace is probably fine and actually probably
[TS]
02:03:35
◼
►
helps keep them in check but I think that they should consider doing less per
[TS]
02:03:40
◼
►
year and polishing more and if they can figure out a way to let some ideas
[TS]
02:03:49
◼
►
operate you know well if you get it done then you're in but if you don't but then
[TS]
02:03:54
◼
►
maybe not advertising them it w maybe promising less at WWDC and maybe slating
[TS]
02:04:00
◼
►
some of those things for
[TS]
02:04:02
◼
►
or a 9.2 update in March 2016 that it does make it hard for developers and it
[TS]
02:04:11
◼
►
makes it hard for custom more importantly from Apple customers like
[TS]
02:04:15
◼
►
you need to I think the reason that they stick to hard version numbers is it that
[TS]
02:04:23
◼
►
is the gate through functionality right and it is and so many other things our
[TS]
02:04:28
◼
►
annual at Apple the phones come out on an annual basis and for competitive
[TS]
02:04:33
◼
►
reasons they really do need to because their competitors come out with new
[TS]
02:04:37
◼
►
Apple only come out with one set of new phones every year is slow compared to
[TS]
02:04:41
◼
►
everybody else in industry and it will take place but it it's delivered and
[TS]
02:04:48
◼
►
delivered in an industry where there's not much deliberation where it's sort of
[TS]
02:04:52
◼
►
soon you know if you can ship it less shipping see if people buy but Apple is
[TS]
02:04:58
◼
►
very deliberative and a half to be but then they run the things we're gonna
[TS]
02:05:01
◼
►
sell hundred-million of the same thing here they need to be able to have a
[TS]
02:05:04
◼
►
hundred million of every single component you know they need to have a
[TS]
02:05:08
◼
►
hundred million a chip hundred-million of the new you know eighty retina
[TS]
02:05:15
◼
►
displays in two different sizes etc etc it every single thing in the box but the
[TS]
02:05:21
◼
►
hardware runs on doesn't run on a yearly cycle though that's the thing they come
[TS]
02:05:25
◼
►
out every year but they're in the works for longer than a year a lot longer than
[TS]
02:05:30
◼
►
a year which is why it's taken them a little bit to longer than the market
[TS]
02:05:34
◼
►
would dictate to come out with bigger phones because it's you know if it takes
[TS]
02:05:38
◼
►
two years to make a new iPhone they didn't get to commit to these phones
[TS]
02:05:42
◼
►
until about two years ago
[TS]
02:05:44
◼
►
like the iPhone seven or whatever you wanna call nature's years maybe but it's
[TS]
02:05:48
◼
►
more than a year it's so maybe it's not quite two years maybe more later but but
[TS]
02:05:55
◼
►
the team that doing next year's iPhones is already long day at work force you
[TS]
02:06:01
◼
►
know 67 a month yet
[TS]
02:06:03
◼
►
I don't know I mean I'm sure you know but just to listen up there it's kind of
[TS]
02:06:08
◼
►
funny when you talk to people who work at Apple because they have no idea what
[TS]
02:06:11
◼
►
happened in what police know they actually do like to gather more for them
[TS]
02:06:20
◼
►
it's a guy was done with that six months a year before you ever sides right yeah
[TS]
02:06:28
◼
►
and that they don't know what's going to be called to have no idea they honestly
[TS]
02:06:33
◼
►
don't know and so that really is what confuses it for them historically is
[TS]
02:06:37
◼
►
that while they were working on stuff they don't know what it was going to be
[TS]
02:06:39
◼
►
called and so in hindsight back to three years they don't they just know we

sidebars sidebars
[TS]
02:09:10
◼

is translucent whatever it reflects the color of your desktop regardless of how

02:09:52
◼
►
upgrade to yosemite in a couple of weeks a week or two and then the river was
[TS]
02:09:57
◼

right but it's like so if you just imagine you have one window open and
[TS]
02:10:02
◼
►
that's how Apple all their screen shot shows just one window at a time
[TS]
02:10:05
◼
►
this translucent part chose the colors blurred shows the colors of your
[TS]
02:10:10
◼

underlying desktop picture through so if you have like an orange top pattern
[TS]
02:10:14
◼

orange blurry but then if you have Windows in between the front window in
[TS]
02:10:20
◼
►
the desktop and they're all white like this is say they're all txt Edit windows
[TS]
02:10:24
◼

but there are stacked on top of each other
[TS]
02:10:26
◼

the sidebars so large it somehow right I can imagine the discussion that led to
[TS]
02:10:36
◼

this where I can imagine a discussion where the idea was started well we'll
[TS]
02:10:40
◼

make it you know you make it see through make a translucent and it was all based
[TS]
02:10:43
◼

on just like one window on the desktop and then somebody was like but what if
[TS]
02:10:47
◼

you have Windows in between Jackson right what if there was room with a
[TS]
02:10:53
◼

window and instead of saying we should start right they would just be like well
[TS]
02:10:59
◼

then it would be it would just be gray and instead and somebody will be dull
[TS]
02:11:04
◼

and it will lose that was that phrase a keeper using those shows the character
[TS]
02:11:07
◼

of your desktop and then somebody somebody said well it'll still show here
[TS]
02:11:14
◼

to top colors and that's what they might happen I don't understand there's no
[TS]
02:11:23

logic to it maybe and maybe that's you know maybe they're going to two people

arbitrary

restrictions placed on this did ya get why did you as well made but instead
[TS]
02:12:09

[TS]
02:12:18
◼

just you know you said with the whole compositing system
[TS]
02:12:59

02:13:07
◼

ready and you know I feel like I feel like the whole yosemite look and feel is
[TS]
02:13:13

[TS]
02:13:22

02:13:35

I am sitting in front of him Mac Pro Apple and screen right and can you
[TS]
02:13:52
◼

every now and then there's gonna be a jump and something is gonna be degraded
[TS]
02:14:07

and you know to bring it back to the peace did we talked about previously and
[TS]
02:14:15
◼

tickner 2034 every now and then you take it you take your lumps take a step back
[TS]
02:14:21

classic Mac OS that no matter where you put the application on your hard disk if
[TS]
02:15:30

02:15:33
◼

identifier and then update the app to the latest version so you don't have to
[TS]
02:15:38
◼

less hesitant to go a little over the top you know to to fill the glass

to become essential I agree with that to some degree I I would at least say that
[TS]
02:27:10

there's a do it wasn't an unreasonable the other side of the argument wasn't
[TS]
02:27:14

unreasonable to think so which is why add value in syracuse and it was

02:27:19

different sets of tradeoffs
[TS]
02:27:21
◼

value more and I just you know you know and again you might be right note that
[TS]
02:27:26
◼

in the long run it worked out better going with those decisions then and you
[TS]
02:27:30
◼

know one of the reasons why is that ultimately resulted with iOS where the
[TS]
02:27:35
◼
►
actual file system is hidden
[TS]
02:27:38
◼
►
which i think is is it big proponent yeah that that's fine to me because then
[TS]
02:27:45
◼
►
it doesn't matter if under the hood it's a case-sensitive file system with file
[TS]
02:27:50
◼

extension would I think it's cases which is fine I would argue again said only if
[TS]
02:27:58
◼
►
they ever did that with the Mac where the filesystem matters raucous it's
[TS]
02:28:02
◼

exposed to you but right to usual users right let you know I can conceive of a
[TS]
02:28:08
◼

Mac 10 years from now maybe even last may be five years from now where it's
[TS]
02:28:13
◼

the file system is only for people who've install Xcode
[TS]
02:28:16
◼

so I have a difference between the presentation versus the representation
[TS]
02:28:21
◼

right where presentation is what you see is a user and the representations WiMAX
[TS]
02:28:26
◼

is actually happening on disk anything found systems in a lot of ways and David
[TS]
02:28:32

exposing have representation of exactly what's happening rather than you know

projecting a view that it is more useful to the gym file system file name
[TS]
02:28:49

extension as a user exposed feature has always been a bullshit it's awful it's

two pieces of data makes anyone feel separated by carbon just a piece of a

piece of text just a dot will turn sit in between right and so it's easily you
[TS]
02:29:11

know it's easily it is easily changed you know if you want to but you know I
[TS]
02:29:17
◼

can't take any times I've talked to people who thought that the way you
[TS]
02:29:19
◼

convert the ping to a JPEG is to erase the PNG and type jpg you know that
[TS]
02:29:25
◼

should actually work it should in theory that would be amazing if I could see you
[TS]
02:29:29
◼

know should do that that's right it should say I notice you did that would
[TS]
02:29:35
◼

you like me to change this to a JPEG I would be amazing but guess what that
[TS]
02:29:39
◼
►
doesn't actually happening but people I can see why north to a normal person it
[TS]
02:29:44
◼
►
should work and to me it's just like well why not put the creation and
[TS]
02:29:49
◼
►
modification date in there too and then you have to have a date and a name and
[TS]
02:29:52
◼
►
file extension on no its exact same it's the file says same thing the file system
[TS]
02:30:03
◼
►
has always had a field for the creation date and the modification date it's
[TS]
02:30:07
◼
►
different from the name and never had never had a field for the type so and it
[TS]
02:30:11
◼
►
should have a history of this no but I'm just saying that two pieces of data in
[TS]
02:30:17
◼
►
the same field is the Mac didn't suffer from that had something that was more
[TS]
02:30:23
◼

graceful and it wasn't built for the future and it wasn't built for
[TS]
02:30:26
◼

compatibility with anybody else but they should have only replaced it with
[TS]
02:30:30
◼

something that was better with something that was
[TS]
02:30:33

more primitive I think found a mixed engines were you didn't matter it was

bill defeated into the correct at this before you know school stuff when it

became apparent that we would have to file formats that would work in not just

one application but in multiple applications extensions were born right

and the way the dead cat addressed with just being literally appended to the end

02:31:12
◼

of the funny it's the most pragmatic workmanlike thing you can do and it was
[TS]
02:31:22
◼

so obvious and so basic that I think pretty much universally it was it was
[TS]
02:31:28
◼

adopted the Mac try to throw it off and I think ultimately failed because it
[TS]
02:31:34
◼

didn't fit in command a market share that they could really make it happen
[TS]
02:31:40
◼

you know but it wasn't really wasn't a problem for Mac users so when you
[TS]
02:31:45
◼

download in the old days when you could download a file on the server those
[TS]
02:31:51
◼

coming from it didn't have any type code because it wasn't a Mac server it would
[TS]
02:31:56
◼

just come down whatever software you downloaded with would look at the file
[TS]
02:32:00
◼

extension and just put the right creator Kota are not greater could type it in
[TS]
02:32:06
◼

what way to look at the mimetype given by the private mind and all the all the
[TS]
02:32:14
◼
►
browsers did all the FTP clients did it it was it wasn't as as much of a problem
[TS]
02:32:19
◼
►
as you would think it was it was it was not an issue known I am saying this is
[TS]
02:32:24
◼
►
why did the file name extension thing exists and why I think you can explain
[TS]
02:32:29
◼
►
it to anybody and anybody would get it yeah but i just i in hindsight to me is
[TS]
02:32:35
◼
►
the big thing isn't which side was right it's that everybody was wrong because
[TS]
02:32:39
◼
►
giving users access to the file system
[TS]
02:32:42
◼
►
in the first place i 100% right and it was what level of technical ability are
[TS]
02:32:49
◼
►
you expecting the people who do have access to the file system to have well I
[TS]
02:32:55
◼
►
agree with you but I don't think it was wrong so much as a necessity at the time
[TS]
02:33:02
◼
►
I mean the first Mac ships
[TS]
02:33:05
◼
►
640 case no car no 128 K
[TS]
02:33:13
◼
►
128 yeah ok whatever ways you didn't have to be sources in abstract storage
[TS]
02:33:23
◼
►
system away right and I'm sure their minds I can't believe this were arguing
[TS]
02:33:29
◼
►
I don't know who are doing and not really but there's another factor too so
[TS]
02:33:34
◼
►
that techno 2034 said use file extensions I think it said use it
[TS]
02:33:39
◼
►
instead of typing creator I'm not sure but it was what the problem is that it
[TS]
02:33:46
◼
►
broke the way millions of actual Mac users were using their Macs and Mac
[TS]
02:33:52
◼
►
users did they did that's how many shell on the corner of these days so I know
[TS]
02:33:59
◼
►
it's a very small number I mean it was for a long long time the estimated user
[TS]
02:34:04
◼
►
base of active Mac users covered that's dangerous when it hovers instead of
[TS]
02:34:10
◼
►
grows and twenty twenty million yeah i dont wanna guested
[TS]
02:34:16
◼
►
425 million yes I'll ok so maybe who knows who knows how many reas but but
[TS]
02:34:28
◼
►
the idea but handy to hand-wringing over that that person and as a graphic
[TS]
02:34:35
◼
►
designer as an artist you assume that you could have files with the same
[TS]
02:34:39
◼

extension that would open when you double-click would open in different
[TS]
02:34:42
◼

apps you know that the ones you created in Photoshop would open Photoshop and
[TS]
02:34:45
◼
►
the ones you created
[TS]
02:34:47
◼
►
in Table I would open in da belies I think that's a good feature i think is
[TS]
02:34:52
◼
►
this feature when you send that followed the network and simply tricyclic it and
[TS]
02:34:57
◼
►
told him that happen
[TS]
02:35:02
◼
►
yeah I totally agree with that
[TS]
02:35:08
◼
►
where it did make some problems I was just again this tradeoff is a better for
[TS]
02:35:12
◼
►
me is it better for me to be able to have all my files open right in the
[TS]
02:35:15
◼
►
Apple made them with or is it better for you when I give them to you that they
[TS]
02:35:19
◼

have the right code
[TS]
02:35:19
◼

actually like we could hit me again would say if you strip off to create

02:35:22
◼
►
occurred during transmitted panic plague transmission its nine you'd get a new
[TS]
02:35:32
◼
►
one based on your preferences when Defoe had been created code but the main point
[TS]
02:35:37
◼
►
it is the main point though is that none of these people in the graphic design
[TS]
02:35:41
◼
►
workflows should not have been built around direct access to the computer
[TS]
02:35:44
◼

file system you know there should have been something a little bit more
[TS]
02:35:47
◼
►
abstracted in the doorway iOS is gone
[TS]
02:35:49
◼
►
is ideal and it makes everybody happy I think so I mean it's literally a fresh
[TS]
02:35:55
◼
►
reboot grade and you know there's been missteps yeah but it's taken awhile to
[TS]
02:36:01
◼
►
get the document picking thing which is what everybody brings up is up now we're
[TS]
02:36:06
◼
►
back with a file system is not the file system a system like what did you call
[TS]
02:36:11
◼
►
projection projection and i actually an on premise of the bad that often but I
[TS]
02:36:18
◼
►
really think that projections debate with Dad I Cloud Drive on you simply
[TS]
02:36:26
◼
►
does it right i think that this is not we are not looking too fast
[TS]
02:36:32
◼
►
a projection of data Jess's is pulled up the photo picker don't think about the
[TS]
02:36:40
◼
►
files you think about the photos he's good and I think that this is the better
[TS]
02:36:45
◼
►
way forward and it's not confusing it might be limiting it still is limiting
[TS]
02:36:49
◼
►
and until you know until the document picture it was definitely limiting
[TS]
02:36:54
◼
►
because to open the same image that was from it was in your photo in your camera
[TS]
02:36:59
◼
►
roll to open it in after light or visco camp he would make a copy of it and
[TS]
02:37:03
◼
►
imported into their thing and then they would open in if you want to save it
[TS]
02:37:06
◼
►
back out you have to save a new copy back to the photo also you've got three
[TS]
02:37:10
◼
►
copies now your original the one in this Go cam Inman it was the filtered version
[TS]
02:37:15
◼
►
saved back to your camera obviously inefficient but didn't you know it was
[TS]
02:37:21
◼
►
inefficient but it didn't you know at least protected people from blowing
[TS]
02:37:25
◼
►
their photos apart and the new way you know is better its way cooler that you
[TS]
02:37:31
◼
►
can just open it right up
[TS]
02:37:32
◼
►
Invesco Canada saves right back to the same camel all it's great but it was
[TS]
02:37:43
◼
►
that's what that's the ultimate goal the whole you no idea that users are not
[TS]
02:37:48
◼
►
gonna have direct access to the file system because so many things and I to
[TS]
02:37:52
◼
►
me the most telltale sign that it was a filing extension for about a day in the
[TS]
02:37:56
◼
►
Mac was at the immediately defaulted to hiding them yeah and I mean it came
[TS]
02:38:03
◼
►
pretty quickly
[TS]
02:38:04
◼
►
where the file name extension and it made people so confused because in the
[TS]
02:38:10
◼
►
old Mac in classic Mac OS if you had a file named portrait . jpg didn't have to
[TS]
02:38:19
◼
►
have the Dodge Jeep YouTube so you could just had you don't need to be a JPEG but
[TS]
02:38:23
◼
►
it would just be an importer and if you had another file you want to convert it
[TS]
02:38:28
◼
►
to a different format like pain or something like that you couldn't give it
[TS]
02:38:31
◼
►
the same name you couldn't have to file name portrait same folder because it's
[TS]
02:38:35
◼
►
whereas all of a sudden a Mac OS 10 you can have portrait JPG and PNG in the
[TS]
02:38:41
◼
►
same folder and they both said portrait and they both look like the same
[TS]
02:38:44
◼
►
because extensions hittin you can't tell which is BS right so you know you just
[TS]
02:38:50
◼
►
talking yourself in circles when you start saying that its ok we can do it
[TS]
02:38:53
◼
►
and then to avoid the confusion will hide it and you know hiding things never
[TS]
02:38:58
◼
►
the right idea i i agree with you and I did at the time I just think it's a
[TS]
02:39:03
◼
►
magic solution but you know the truth is the reason I say that is distraught
[TS]
02:39:10
◼
►
fighting over which ways to be wrong because that Mac users shot themselves
[TS]
02:39:15
◼
►
in the foot with the file system to aid in different ways I feel that there is
[TS]
02:39:23
◼
►
as yet unsolved problem here I don't think exposing fascist go basically it's
[TS]
02:39:35
◼
►
a developer the file system is a developer level yeah anyhow and can
[TS]
02:39:41
◼
►
important you can be a good weekend we got on the nerd talk about them
[TS]
02:39:52

◼
►
freely and will cut so that's it the debug podcasters yeah yeah and that's
[TS]
02:42:28
◼
►
the only project that I'm willing to play because it's very little to do with
[TS]
02:42:34
