00:01:43 ◼   ► connection other YouTube videos will just literally never load and it's one [TS]

00:01:46 ◼   ► of those situations impossible to divide the biggest you don't control the server [TS]

00:01:50 ◼   ► you don't control any of the internal routing at the IPO you know is your [TS]

00:01:54 ◼   ► connection to the Internet looks fine in most YouTube videos looks fine but this [TS]

00:01:57 ◼   ► one doesn't the I actually looked into that somewhat extensively about six [TS]

00:02:02 ◼   ► months ago and is really bad for me and a lot of people in files for complaining [TS]

00:02:07 ◼   ► about it and for the life of me I can't remember what the fix was but it didn't [TS]

00:02:33 ◼   ► trying is like temporarily running around wherever the problem isn't it [TS]

00:02:37 ◼   ► like we do that's not a we want you to find where the problem is that ok well [TS]

00:02:42 ◼   ► if I go through that server it's really slow so I'll go through a different one [TS]

00:02:45 ◼   ► like yes that's that's the case a lot of the time but like why is it slow when we [TS]

00:02:50 ◼   ► try to go through that one what's going wrong and that's what we want someone to [TS]

00:02:54 ◼   ► fix it it's like i don't know of any that anyone's job presumably someone in [TS]

00:02:58 ◼   ► the eyes peas job and I don't know the funny thing to me is the fix the air [TS]

00:03:11 ◼   ► content delivery network whose sole job is to get you that data as quickly as [TS]

00:03:16 ◼   ► possible [TS]

00:03:24 ◼   ► immediately throttling everything under the Sun story cuz I do not that they [TS]

00:03:28 ◼   ► could be throwing everything under the Sun but that story is based on nothing [TS]

00:03:33 ◼   ► that supports that like if you're going to do story that the throttle find some [TS]

00:03:37 ◼   ► evidence that's really helped to experimental events that's where I don't [TS]

00:03:40 ◼   ► based on a conversation with a customer support rep on the chat windows because [TS]

00:03:43 ◼   ► that is not a reliable source of anything else going on some follow-up [TS]

00:03:51 ◼   ► actually that's what's going on [TS]

00:03:52 ◼   ► alright so the first items from someone named steven stark Nvidia using the iPad [TS]

00:03:58 ◼   ► to do more stuff and Steven says he's older he's always that us a little bit [TS]

00:04:03 ◼   ► from his email here that I work in an office that use it [TS]

00:04:07 ◼   ► das Lotus 123 and das wordperfect only switch to Windows 3.1 we found that we [TS]

00:04:12 ◼   ► get our job done faster and easier [TS]

00:04:14 ◼   ► those but it using ISDN opposite is true as you mentioned it's harder to complete [TS]

00:04:19 ◼   ► office working I was so the algae of switching to iOS to complete work is the [TS]

00:04:24 ◼   ► same as when we switch from command line DAs to go is just plain wrong I kind of [TS]

00:04:29 ◼   ► get it what he's trying to say here I guess I just read the rest because once [TS]

00:04:35 ◼   ► we switch to Microsoft Excel and Word we found we could do more things that we [TS]

00:04:39 ◼   ► couldn't copy and paste from word excel working with files we just cut and [TS]

00:04:43 ◼   ► pasted or distracting dropped so it's like it's not the same transition [TS]

00:04:48 ◼   ► because trying transitioning to an iPad would make their work harder whereas [TS]

00:04:53 ◼   ► transitioning from das to Windows made their work easier because a couple [TS]

00:04:58 ◼   ► things that player one is switching from a personal computer to an iPad makes a [TS]

00:05:05 ◼   ► lot of things easier for a lot of people maybe not necessarily for this person [TS]

00:05:09 ◼   ► and example I would give us like people who can't do something on a personal [TS]

00:05:14 ◼   ► computer find that they're able to complete that same task on an iPad [TS]

00:05:18 ◼   ► whatever that desk maybe I'm sure you can think of examples of people who you [TS]

00:05:22 ◼   ► know who if left to their own devices could not do something on a personal [TS]

00:05:26 ◼   ► computer to give the iPad they can't even if its symbols like browsing the [TS]

00:05:29 ◼   ► web [TS]

00:05:29 ◼   ► emailing something to someone would be great example is finding an application [TS]

00:05:34 ◼   ► that does something that they're interested in installing it amusing that [TS]

00:05:38 ◼   ► I think it is a really good one because lots and lots and lots of people could [TS]

00:05:42 ◼   ► not do that with a personal computer and maybe didn't notice like you know what I [TS]

00:05:47 ◼   ► wish there was an application that let me keep track of the score and my bridge [TS]

00:05:52 ◼   ► game left to their own devices finding that application downloading installing [TS]

00:05:56 ◼   ► it successfully and not screen up their computer and not getting a virus and not [TS]

00:06:00 ◼   ► down on the wrong things difficult [TS]

00:06:02 ◼   ► whereas if you give someone an iPad and they're interested in keeping score in [TS]

00:06:05 ◼   ► their bridge game they could probably pull it off and at the same time there [TS]

00:06:10 ◼   ► are lots of things were going going back to the doctor to Windows thing there are [TS]

00:06:13 ◼   ► lots of things that you could do in US but you couldn't do in windows or [TS]

00:06:17 ◼   ► couldn't do is easily [TS]

00:06:18 ◼   ► example anyone who was using das a bit like what if you want to do the lead to [TS]

00:06:23 ◼   ► you know who start out star are authorized to begin with the letter A or [TS]

00:06:28 ◼   ► something like all sorts of things you can do from the command line like a sort [TS]

00:06:32 ◼   ► of do that myself and sort things a list view and select Emanuel and drag to the [TS]

00:06:35 ◼   ► trash but it's like before I could just type out a wild-card there was so much [TS]

00:06:38 ◼   ► easier I can enjoy that sucks so saying that in any individual person can or [TS]

00:06:44 ◼   ► can't do something with it with the particular computers it's a very [TS]

00:06:48 ◼   ► contextual type of message and I think it all comes back to what I was saying [TS]

00:06:51 ◼   ► before the notion that iOS is better for people but it is a sweeping [TS]

00:06:55 ◼   ► generalization and I'm trying to sort of take the average of of all the people in [TS]

00:07:01 ◼   ► the entire world what can they do with a personal computer and of all those same [TS]

00:07:05 ◼   ► people the entire world what can make it done with an iPad and that's combined [TS]

00:07:08 ◼   ► with as you noted like the iPad would have to expand its capabilities if you [TS]

00:07:14 ◼   ► can ever hope to take people from office workers or anyone really get them off [TS]

00:07:20 ◼   ► their PC and get them onto the iPad because there are many things that are [TS]

00:07:24 ◼   ► better for everyone that an iPad but it's not a viable option for you if you [TS]

00:07:28 ◼   ► can't do whatever it is that you want to do so that's why I'm saying that I don't [TS]

00:07:32 ◼   ► the iPad would have to expand its capabilities and expand the range of [TS]

00:07:38 ◼   ► models available if it ever wants to do that I think it would want to do that [TS]

00:07:41 ◼   ► because the things that the iPad is better at for all people are also kind [TS]

00:07:46 ◼   ► of better for regular people in the same way the things that Windows is better at [TS]

00:07:49 ◼   ► 40 people it was also better ad for you know the more demanding users even if [TS]

00:07:54 ◼   ► they couldn't you wild card something to delete it or do stuff from the command [TS]

00:07:57 ◼   ► line right batch files and stuff like that [TS]

00:07:59 ◼   ► yeah they lost capabilities but there was it was enough for trade off I [TS]

00:08:03 ◼   ► thought more about this since the last show I don't really know if I'm [TS]

00:08:08 ◼   ► convinced as I was before [TS]

00:08:11 ◼   ► related to this but I don't know if you thought about it since then the whole [TS]

00:08:18 ◼   ► notion that appeared to Jupiter's blessedly forget it after the show was [TS]

00:08:21 ◼   ► over not looking at it I haven't really thought about it but I was not convinced [TS]

00:08:24 ◼   ► when we talked about it and I'm still not convinced [TS]

00:08:27 ◼   ► now are you not convinced that it's better for the IRS is better for people [TS]

00:08:30 ◼   ► like in the in the giant general average of all people kind of way to know that I [TS]

00:08:35 ◼   ► am absolutely convinced by that in like Sean Blanca really great story about his [TS]

00:08:39 ◼   ► grandfather now uses his iPad is a camera and how maybe that's largely [TS]

00:08:44 ◼   ► because of screen size its life memory serves it's largely because of its ease [TS]

00:08:48 ◼   ► of use but it's enabled his grandfather to do some things he would have [TS]

00:08:51 ◼   ► otherwise been unable to deal with that's a really great and touching [TS]

00:08:54 ◼   ► example of the story that everyone is telling or has told which is just like [TS]

00:08:59 ◼   ► you said it enables people to do things that they perhaps wouldn't be able to do [TS]

00:09:04 ◼   ► what I want I'm unconvinced about his asshole i petrol think I'm sure it will [TS]

00:09:08 ◼   ► happen in some capacity its own way but to me I don't see anything compelling I [TS]

00:09:12 ◼   ► see no compelling reason for to exist these tools exist phones tablets [TS]

00:09:19 ◼   ► computers there is some overlap between all of them of course and it's like you [TS]

00:09:23 ◼   ► can't you can use just one of those to do all your computing tasks you can if [TS]

00:09:29 ◼   ► you want to and I don't think there is I don't think it had like if if the [TS]

00:09:32 ◼   ► argument is an iPad you could probably do have an iPhone also I don't think [TS]

00:09:37 ◼   ► there's a whole lot of people for whom the tasks they do on iOS must be done on [TS]

00:09:43 ◼   ► an iPad and kendall Jenner on iphone certain screen size dependent things [TS]

00:09:47 ◼   ► notwithstanding but I think most people don't have a lot of those things but [TS]

00:09:52 ◼   ► ultimately these are different kinds of tools and I don't think we need to [TS]

00:09:57 ◼   ► choose you have to choose the point where you have to say you you have to [TS]

00:10:03 ◼   ► buy these devices have to buy what you can afford but you know chances are of [TS]

00:10:10 ◼   ► these three devices for most people at Adelaide is probably the third one to [TS]

00:10:13 ◼   ► buy [TS]

00:10:14 ◼   ► not not the first or second unless you have very very light needs in which case [TS]

00:10:19 ◼   ► you know might be the first that's fine I think a lot of people are trying to [TS]

00:10:24 ◼   ► cram too much into any one of these things and i know im not saying the [TS]

00:10:28 ◼   ► computer is the best one you know there's things you shouldn't come into a [TS]

00:10:31 ◼   ► computer either that that work better on cellular phone I think it's about using [TS]

00:10:35 ◼   ► the right tool for the job [TS]

00:10:36 ◼   ► and when when we have new tools available we can obsess over them [TS]

00:10:41 ◼   ► briefly and try and try to push the boundaries and see what we can do with [TS]

00:10:44 ◼   ► them but then you know then it just becomes a part of a regular toolkit and [TS]

00:10:48 ◼   ► we realize that it no tool is good for everything and that were better off [TS]

00:10:52 ◼   ► using what's best and I think tablature not replacing PCs you know we keep [TS]

00:10:57 ◼   ► seeing over and over again tablets are selling very well but I don't think [TS]

00:11:00 ◼   ► they're replacing PCs from for anybody except people for whom PCs were never [TS]

00:11:05 ◼   ► the right tool in the first place so that we can debate on you know whether [TS]

00:11:09 ◼   ► PCs were the right tool for so many people who are buying them and know how [TS]

00:11:13 ◼   ► big the number is depends on it like I think your argument depends on how the [TS]

00:11:18 ◼   ► numbers I think both of you are still not in my head and neither is everyone [TS]

00:11:22 ◼   ► in the audience and it's my failure to convey this occurs but you keep coming [TS]

00:11:25 ◼   ► back to these these things these you know this choices that don't exist in [TS]

00:11:29 ◼   ► the end these dichotomies that I'm not getting at anything like what I'm [TS]

00:11:33 ◼   ► getting maybe what I'm getting at is too simple and obvious but it's like saying [TS]

00:11:40 ◼   ► in the days before the PC existed that you would look at what most people do [TS]

00:11:45 ◼   ► all day when it's in front of the desk in front of like desk with like stacks [TS]

00:11:49 ◼   ► of paper I'm trying I don't know what it is but like what whatever it is the most [TS]

00:11:53 ◼   ► people think it like Microsoft bob look there's like a desk with an organizer [TS]

00:11:58 ◼   ► and once those flippy card things you made a role in the hand and a giant a [TS]

00:12:03 ◼   ► rotary phone maybe and habit maybe a record player was at that how things [TS]

00:12:07 ◼   ► were actually coming it's trying so hard to get you going to see what what is so [TS]

00:12:15 ◼   ► obvious to me but it's impossible to convey without people extrapolating out [TS]

00:12:19 ◼   ► into it ridiculous scenario sort of you know following it through to its logical [TS]

00:12:23 ◼   ► ridiculous conclusion and then saying that that's not going to happen I mean [TS]

00:12:26 ◼   ► like if if you want to go out in the sales number way PC sales are not [TS]

00:12:30 ◼   ► growing anymore why not do we not need to do the things that personal computers [TS]

00:12:37 ◼   ► did [TS]

00:12:38 ◼   ► anymore no presumably people are buying things other than PCs right and it used [TS]

00:12:43 ◼   ► to be that the PC was the computing device that everybody had and we can say [TS]

00:12:47 ◼   ► our goodbyes now the phone is the computer by said everybody right but [TS]

00:12:50 ◼   ► there are things you can't do on a phone [TS]

00:12:54 ◼   ► want to do anything you wanted to do video editing on a phone number 12 [TS]

00:12:58 ◼   ► creative work like Photoshop on a phone no one wants to development on a phone [TS]

00:13:02 ◼   ► nobody wants to do lots of word processing on a phone like they're just [TS]

00:13:06 ◼   ► tons of things that you do not ever want to do in the fungus is too darned small [TS]

00:13:10 ◼   ► that's the reason it's not like anyone resist you need more space right people [TS]

00:13:15 ◼   ► don't sit at work all day in front of their phone and do all their work on [TS]

00:13:18 ◼   ► their own right and yet PC sales are still not growing like they used to it [TS]

00:13:23 ◼   ► may actually be going down this point and I'm saying if people are sort of [TS]

00:13:29 ◼   ► voting with their feet that they prefer to use these things that run iOS four [TS]

00:13:32 ◼   ► things like them more than they have forty-two species but they can't stop [TS]

00:13:36 ◼   ► using PC is because there are certain things that the PC can do these other [TS]

00:13:41 ◼   ► devices can't I'm saying if you can't hold back with tired of people prefer to [TS]

00:13:45 ◼   ► work with the simplicity and the you know without the legacy hassles whatever [TS]

00:13:51 ◼   ► they are overlapping windows filesystem you know all the things that we got rid [TS]

00:13:55 ◼   ► of an iOS people seem to prefer that and they they're gonna some of their tasks [TS]

00:14:03 ◼   ► down to the device the device has to expand to meet them in some way they're [TS]

00:14:07 ◼   ► not gonna they're not going to willingly wedged themselves into a tablet so I'm [TS]

00:14:11 ◼   ► trying to look forward to the future to think if I was really is better for [TS]

00:14:14 ◼   ► people surely [TS]

00:14:16 ◼   ► and PC sales are going down or staying seminar grown like they used to Shirley [TS]

00:14:20 ◼   ► at some point all those people with PC is like for twenty thirty years are most [TS]

00:14:24 ◼   ► people sitting in front of a PC with overlapping windows access the file [TS]

00:14:27 ◼   ► system in Emmaus and everything [TS]

00:14:30 ◼   ► order some of the people found a way to do their work with an iOS device or [TS]

00:14:35 ◼   ► tablet type device and that's all I'm getting that like I'm in the moment you [TS]

00:14:40 ◼   ► can always say well the tablet not appropriate for that the PC or but you [TS]

00:14:44 ◼   ► could [TS]

00:14:44 ◼   ► replace PC but like many computer well personal computers are good for some [TS]

00:14:47 ◼   ► people but they're really too simple and real people need many computers and [TS]

00:14:51 ◼   ► workstations or whatever you want to put it just like if people prefer to work [TS]

00:14:55 ◼   ► and in that type of environment it seems like it those things have to come [TS]

00:15:00 ◼   ► together like otherwise what's the thing that PC sales slowly declined by the PCs [TS]

00:15:04 ◼   ► and yet none of those people also have replaced their PCs with an electronic [TS]

00:15:08 ◼   ► device or do they do everything on their phone like I'm saying I think the tablet [TS]

00:15:12 ◼   ► can expand to meet some of those needs in the future and my dad to basically [TS]

00:15:17 ◼   ► like will anyone company pulled that off because if if no one does a good job of [TS]

00:15:23 ◼   ► knowing rises to meet those needs to just be using increasingly better and [TS]

00:15:27 ◼   ► simpler PCs and that's that's conceivable as well but I think it's [TS]

00:15:32 ◼   ► either like I said it's easier for iOS to get slightly more capable than it is [TS]

00:15:36 ◼   ► for always tender windows or anything else to get some [TS]

00:15:39 ◼   ► I really only way we can tell just passed over in the universe but I would [TS]

00:15:43 ◼   ► say dwell on look at the horse posts like charts of computer sales look at [TS]

00:15:47 ◼   ► those and think about how like for our life inspired the fault of a working [TS]

00:15:51 ◼   ► person you know a knowledge worker whatever was sitting in front of a PC [TS]

00:15:55 ◼   ► and say well PC sales are going down it was all home users and like it working [TS]

00:16:00 ◼   ► people are gonna forever by some amount of PCs or is that trend line indicate [TS]

00:16:05 ◼   ► that this transition taking place even with out any iPad pro type of thing so [TS]

00:16:11 ◼   ► let me kinda sorta repeat what you said to see if i understand what you're [TS]

00:16:16 ◼   ► saying is since everyone seems to prefer these touch-based devices being a phone [TS]

00:16:22 ◼   ► or perhaps even tablet and that's where all the usage is going then it stands to [TS]

00:16:27 ◼   ► reason that whatever the shortcomings are they will be solved over time and [TS]

00:16:31 ◼   ► that will be that will usher in all these magnificent new features so it's [TS]

00:16:36 ◼   ► not that Apple necessarily will deliberately set out to create a new [TS]

00:16:39 ◼   ► iPad pro that does this this is the iPad pro because we say so it's not an [TS]

00:16:43 ◼   ► evolutionary in an evolutionary way it will become the iPad will become more of [TS]

00:16:47 ◼   ► a more capable device by whatever means we're not really sure what that is [TS]

00:16:53 ◼   ► simply because it's whatever first years so it's a shame because you can't say [TS]

00:16:57 ◼   ► it's going to make it there for people are gonna wanna and people are going to [TS]

00:17:00 ◼   ► want their for Apple's going to make it there has to be comes from both [TS]

00:17:04 ◼   ► directions so it's it's it's sort of like this is a crummy analogy but you [TS]

00:17:10 ◼   ► know when planes were brand-new they can only fly for a few minutes and not [TS]

00:26:09 ◼   ► more like a keyboard on a desk and so that makes me think of what if we could [TS]

00:27:48 ◼   ► become more capable and people continue to prefer to use them for more and more [TS]

00:27:52 ◼   ► task and that's it nigga that sort of goes in tandem where it's like people [TS]

00:27:55 ◼   ► prefer it and so maybe it will expand its capability once it expands [TS]
