00:00:07 ◼   ► I read this week but it seems like this is the week where everybody is sort of [TS]

00:00:10 ◼   ► come to the conclusion that Windows 8 is failure [TS]

00:00:15 ◼   ► yeah I was actually thinking about that too and it's not that it's not that [TS]

00:00:20 ◼   ► literally nobody is buying it at all [TS]

00:00:24 ◼   ► not a Vista times a hundred million people have bought or something like [TS]

00:00:28 ◼   ► that yeah a large number of people but it seems to me that you know this is one [TS]

00:00:33 ◼   ► of those things where Microsoft s too not just kind of approach expectations [TS]

00:00:39 ◼   ► but has to far exceed expectations in order to be thought of as really doing [TS]

00:00:45 ◼   ► well and you know Windows Phone is a is a similar example and I posted about [TS]

00:00:50 ◼   ► this many times which is you know that's not this is not a place where they can [TS]

00:00:54 ◼   ► just do okay this is so important to the future of Microsoft that just doing ok [TS]

00:01:00 ◼   ► is is a massive failure here and in only huge success would be you know is the [TS]

00:01:06 ◼   ► only acceptable solution there so i i think thats exactly what we're seeing is [TS]

00:01:11 ◼   ► that it's it is pretty good and it's pretty popular but that's just not good [TS]

00:01:15 ◼   ► enough especially as you know the PC market itself heads into the into the [TS]

00:01:23 ◼   ► toilet basically and in the future of what you know what you know if this [TS]

00:01:29 ◼   ► trend holds up the shift to tablets and mobile devices you know the share of [TS]

00:01:35 ◼   ► Windows on those devices is you know single-digit or low double-digit [TS]

00:01:40 ◼   ► that's not going to work for the best for the biggest software company in the [TS]

00:01:44 ◼   ► world you know they can sure that they have the enterprise business and and all [TS]

00:01:49 ◼   ► that sort of stuff which which could very well be a large profitable business [TS]

00:01:53 ◼   ► for Microsoft but hard to see that being as big or as dominant as Windows was you [TS]

00:02:00 ◼   ► know now more than ten years ago [TS]

00:02:03 ◼   ► yeah and I i think i kind of I nailed half of it two years ago when they first [TS]

00:02:10 ◼   ► announced Windows 8 [TS]

00:02:11 ◼   ► wrote a piece about how it's the title but some about how it was a bad idea to [TS]

00:02:16 ◼   ► compete against the iPad and my argument and I think has proven to be exactly [TS]

00:02:21 ◼   ► right is that the appeal of the iPad is is largely based on all of the things [TS]

00:02:28 ◼   ► that it can't do because it makes it so simple and having a system where you [TS]

00:02:32 ◼   ► have all the complexity of windows and a simple interface over there to the side [TS]

00:02:37 ◼   ► isn't gonna do it and I think that's proven right now only and that but [TS]

00:02:43 ◼   ► that's only really half the story which is that Windows 8 wasn't going to be [TS]

00:02:47 ◼   ► competitive against the iPad in this new space of tablet devices the part that I [TS]

00:02:54 ◼   ► didn't think about and it just died I just never really occurred to me was [TS]

00:02:59 ◼   ► that it was going to also proved unpopular as a PC operating system for [TS]

00:03:04 ◼   ► people using it on desktops and traditional laptops right which actually [TS]

00:03:10 ◼   ► makes complete sense when you think about it i mean you know my my the [TS]

00:03:15 ◼   ► reason I still do all my work on a Mac and iOS is that there are certain [TS]

00:03:21 ◼   ► functions that lend themselves very well having a keyboard and trackpad shifting [TS]

00:03:26 ◼   ► between many windows at a time being able to go and look at an old email [TS]

00:03:30 ◼   ► while I'm writing a new email those are things that I OS does very poorly and [TS]

00:03:35 ◼   ► that the Mac still does extremely well and I certainly wouldn't want to run iOS [TS]

00:03:39 ◼   ► on my Mac at least not anytime soon so I could see how that would kind of cloud [TS]

00:03:44 ◼   ► the windows experience to rate now is that metro or what you know what used to [TS]

00:03:51 ◼   ► be called Metro isn't really something you want on your desktop and all Windows [TS]

00:03:56 ◼   ► is definitely not something you on your tablet so I just never really thought [TS]

00:04:01 ◼   ► about that other half of the story and the thing that I keep seeing I've seen a [TS]

00:04:04 ◼   ► couple of stories this week and I believe it is that a lot of people get [TS]

00:04:08 ◼   ► it and honestly they have trouble putting their computer to sleep or [TS]

00:04:12 ◼   ► turning the computer off because they can't figure it out because the only [TS]

00:04:15 ◼   ► thing they've ever known what to do is go to the start menu [TS]

00:04:18 ◼   ► you and that's where you go to shut down and it's it's actually that all you know [TS]

00:04:22 ◼   ► everybody used to make fun of it is how do you shut down Windows computer go to [TS]

00:04:26 ◼   ► the start menu right which is kind of linguistically counterintuitive but [TS]

00:04:31 ◼   ► everybody knew to do that and now that the Start menu is gone nobody knows how [TS]

00:04:35 ◼   ► to help a shot off their computer and that's it right but I understand why [TS]

00:04:42 ◼   ► because think about the iPad right there how do you shut off the iPad within the [TS]

00:04:46 ◼   ► software there is no way because it's you know it's this one cohesive it's [TS]

00:04:51 ◼   ► it's not it's not just operating system it's a device and so they put this big [TS]

00:04:56 ◼   ► obvious power button up in the corner and thats you just tap that but if you [TS]

00:05:05 ◼   ► just put it in your purse without turning it off and then her style me but [TS]

00:05:09 ◼   ► that was me national yeah so you actually can do that though if you just [TS]

00:05:20 ◼   ► put your iPad in your purse or whatever without turning it off it will shut off [TS]

00:05:25 ◼   ► in a couple minutes it will it will mean unless I guess unless you leave it lets [TS]

00:05:29 ◼   ► you leave it streaming Netflix little oriental accidentally do stuff like call [TS]

00:05:36 ◼   ► me or something but I used to call it the pants style in fact there's there [TS]

00:05:46 ◼   ► term pants dial on CBS Radio that was confused enemies but right pants is [TS]

00:05:59 ◼   ► nobody will argue that is anything you know it's even vaguely scandalous but [TS]

00:06:03 ◼   ► there is something vaguely inappropriate about it it's funny it just sounds and [TS]

00:06:08 ◼   ► looks funny it's a great word senses that Letterman's production company [TS]

00:06:12 ◼   ► Worldwide Pants the greatest in the history of the universe like that [TS]

00:06:21 ◼   ► the other I guess the flip side of this thing with Windows 8 is this is it [TS]

00:06:30 ◼   ► official this is the thing I'm not a hundred percent on it has Microsoft [TS]

00:06:33 ◼   ► officially come out and said that the Start menu is coming back there are no I [TS]

00:06:38 ◼   ► haven't hit following that it seems as though people you know in the know like [TS]

00:06:42 ◼   ► Mary Jo Foley and and other you know really well sourced Microsoft reporters [TS]

00:06:48 ◼   ► are saying it and it seems like you can bet money on it but that there's going [TS]

00:06:52 ◼   ► to be one of a kind of Windows blue and i know i think they did officially said [TS]

00:06:58 ◼   ► it's slated for later this calendar year it's going to come out sometime in 2013 [TS]

00:07:01 ◼   ► but that is going to have a preference that and I guess OEM can turn it on by [TS]

00:07:08 ◼   ► default to boot to the traditional Windows look on if that's appropriate [TS]

00:07:13 ◼   ► for your device is this like a service pack or something like that I mean yeah [TS]

00:07:17 ◼   ► I think it's in between you know I don't think I think you know it doesn't really [TS]

00:07:23 ◼   ► fit and you know it's like an in-between update its not like a point one update [TS]

00:07:28 ◼   ► but it's not like a major new version of Windows Update you know it's a big [TS]

00:07:32 ◼   ► service com service packs anymore and it kind of got away from that but that that [TS]

00:07:42 ◼   ► song constantly Bruce Springsteen cover band well I think that makes sense I [TS]

00:07:52 ◼   ► mean if if people are saying hey look we you know we don't really care that much [TS]

00:07:56 ◼   ► about how Windows works but don't take away our start button I think that maybe [TS]

00:08:01 ◼   ► a fair compromise I mean the idea that Windows 8 is going to be some fast [TS]

00:08:07 ◼   ► change in how Windows works and how people think of it obviously is not [TS]

00:08:13 ◼   ► going to the ideal plans and also isn't the guy who kind of design all the stuff [TS]

00:08:21 ◼   ► gone anyway so why not so you know perfect opportunity for Microsoft ago [TS]

00:08:26 ◼   ► alright well those guys are gone we're gonna we're gonna fix windows and make [TS]

00:08:50 ◼   ► maybe that's partially why he left you know but you get the feeling that it [TS]

00:08:53 ◼   ► probably was his idea cuz he you know his reputation had a lot of control over [TS]

00:08:57 ◼   ► it I really like your old idea which was that they should have made something [TS]

00:09:01 ◼   ► that you know that maybe even only booted on a Mac at first and just new OS [TS]

00:09:06 ◼   ► that you know the people could get excited about it didn't have all the [TS]

00:09:09 ◼   ► baggage and that would be a way for them to to really move forward without having [TS]

00:09:14 ◼   ► to support you know thirty years of stuff and it seems like it could have [TS]

00:09:19 ◼   ► been cool you know I maybe I would have even install it where it's windows 8 I [TS]

00:09:24 ◼   ► just have no curiosity about it at all and it seems like the surface is [TS]

00:09:29 ◼   ► basically you know they copied the wrong iPad seems like something that would [TS]

00:09:35 ◼   ► have been may be interesting a few years ago but I my old idea I came up with [TS]

00:09:42 ◼   ► this with my friend Jason Hoffman is the Yankees CTO at Joint years ago I mean I [TS]

00:09:48 ◼   ► think the time to do it would have been years ago like around 2008 or so but it [TS]

00:09:52 ◼   ► was it was all stemming from that picture that picture that was widely [TS]

00:09:56 ◼   ► circulated at the college class it was like a college lecturer and 97% of the [TS]

00:10:03 ◼   ► kids in the room had a Mac notebook in front of them and there's I one poor kid [TS]

00:10:07 ◼   ► enough run with it or something like that [TS]

00:10:10 ◼   ► and it was you know I forget with just you know some random University in the [TS]

00:10:16 ◼   ► middle of the country and it was in any kind of there is no particular reason [TS]

00:10:19 ◼   ► why it should be the Apple centric and now it was yeah it wasn't anything like [TS]

00:10:25 ◼   ► that was just like you know I can 101 and kids taking lecture notes you know [TS]

00:10:29 ◼   ► and it just showed how overwhelmingly popular Apple notebooks have become an [TS]

00:10:35 ◼   ► RA deal was that what Microsoft should do is they should just put together put [TS]

00:10:41 ◼   ► one guy in charge [TS]

00:10:42 ◼   ► let him pick a hundred engineers take a hundred engineers go off and be like you [TS]

00:10:47 ◼   ► know like the Mac team was in nineteen eighty-four put a pirate flag up and [TS]

00:10:51 ◼   ► make their own new operating system and do whatever they want they want to start [TS]

00:10:56 ◼   ► with Linux instead of the Windows kernel let him do it you know do whatever you [TS]

00:11:00 ◼   ► want [TS]

00:11:01 ◼   ► under the hood for compatibility they could use something like VMware you know [TS]

00:11:06 ◼   ► that type of thing Microsoft even has something like that and let it run [TS]

00:11:09 ◼   ► Windows in an emulation layer you know like classic classic Mac OS was if you [TS]

00:11:15 ◼   ► wanna meet their Microsoft they can do whatever they want with Windows right [TS]

00:11:36 ◼   ► version is coming right out we're you know we're just working on the future of [TS]

00:11:40 ◼   ► this thing and then the brilliant yet brilliant idea I think would have been [TS]

00:11:43 ◼   ► if if as a beta you said and as the beta it only runs on Macs just because then [TS]

00:11:49 ◼   ► you have this small target of hardware to to to support any idea would be to [TS]

00:11:57 ◼   ► try to get people who you know young people and curious people to you know [TS]

00:12:02 ◼   ► play around with it I think the opportunity for that was over because [TS]

00:12:07 ◼   ► this point if a Mac can be the best computer to run Windows why can't a Mac [TS]

00:12:13 ◼   ► also be the best PC right now that's exactly true and I you know there was [TS]

00:12:17 ◼   ► just that polio other week that came out where somebody you know I forget it was [TS]

00:12:20 ◼   ► but it wasn't like a Mac publication it was a good some PPC publication but that [TS]

00:12:24 ◼   ► you know that Max hands down we're like the best Windows machines you can have [TS]

00:12:32 ◼   ► the best the best experience running Windows 8 is on a Mac or MacBook or [TS]

00:12:36 ◼   ► something like that she never even had the time I say the time for that his [TS]

00:12:40 ◼   ► passes because a new operating system that runs on PCs is chasing the wrong [TS]

00:12:46 ◼   ► chasing the wrong train you know you got it you know the future is with these [TS]

00:12:51 ◼   ► post-pc things and the opportunities gone for that sort of [TS]

00:12:55 ◼   ► backdoor try to get Apple people to switch and go back because you can't as [TS]

00:13:01 ◼   ► far as I know I don't think you could make an operating system that ran on [TS]

00:13:04 ◼   ► iPads you know it's to their too tightly coupled with the hardware firmware and [TS]

00:13:10 ◼   ► stuff like that and the operating system is hardly the you know the the main [TS]

00:13:15 ◼   ► advantage there it's the way that the operating system in the content [TS]

00:13:19 ◼   ► ecosystem and all those things work together now it's not just that you can [TS]

00:13:23 ◼   ► replace the OSI mean to some just to the advantage of some companies a facebook [TS]

00:13:28 ◼   ► is using you know the fact that they don't have to replace Android to jump [TS]

00:13:34 ◼   ► onto those phones but yeah I mean I would even if I could install Windows 8 [TS]

00:13:40 ◼   ► on my iPad I don't think I would it just doesn't seem like something I want to do [TS]

00:13:44 ◼   ► like the curiosity just isn't there but if they had done something all new 3 45 [TS]

00:13:52 ◼   ► years ago I would have jumped on it at least it to play with it [TS]

00:13:56 ◼   ► yeah actually wanted to ask you about something [TS]

00:14:01 ◼   ► ok I know we want you want to talk to me about Netflix will do that in a bit but [TS]

00:14:04 ◼   ► I i've been thinking about something that is is kind of bigger picture and [TS]

00:14:09 ◼   ► you know for the last several weeks I've been thinking like all write a post [TS]

00:14:14 ◼   ► about this someday but I just don't have time I'm too busy with city notes now my [TS]

00:14:18 ◼   ► travel startup so I think I've been thinking about is you know this is kind [TS]

00:14:27 ◼   ► of the big picture with Apple which is why are people why has Apple done so [TS]

00:14:32 ◼   ► well over the last few years and what what can we learn from that would help [TS]

00:14:37 ◼   ► us determine whether it's going to continue to do so well over the last [TS]

00:14:41 ◼   ► over the next several years and there are several reasons why people continue [TS]

00:14:46 ◼   ► to buy Apple stuff you know for people like you and I have used Macs forward [TS]

00:14:51 ◼   ► for the last ten fifteen twenty years it's because we know them well and we [TS]

00:14:56 ◼   ► you know and we've used the marlboro lights in world oil to them to some [TS]

00:15:01 ◼   ► people it's the quality of products [TS]

00:15:03 ◼   ► but I think there's also a population and I don't know how big it is but [TS]

00:15:07 ◼   ► people who you know if you look at those great a simple charts of the the growth [TS]

00:15:12 ◼   ► of the iPad being so much faster than the growth of the iPhone which was so [TS]

00:15:17 ◼   ► much faster than the growth of the iPod and Mac and it's it's the people who've [TS]

00:15:21 ◼   ► joined Apple the most recently that's maybe the biggest population and and I [TS]

00:15:26 ◼   ► wonder how loyal they'll be and I wonder if what attracted them to Apple is not [TS]

00:15:31 ◼   ► necessarily the quality or the legacy but just that its new and and cool and [TS]

00:15:39 ◼   ► you know how sustainable is that and that's kind of what I've been wondering [TS]

00:15:43 ◼   ► is you know that people often say all Apple needs a disruptive new product or [TS]

00:15:47 ◼   ► or a new product category or something like that and then the response of them [TS]

00:15:51 ◼   ► is well we got to in the last in the last five years and three in the last [TS]

00:15:55 ◼   ► decade i mean that's asking a lot to have another one so quickly after that [TS]

00:16:00 ◼   ► but but maybe that's what people are looking for they're looking for that new [TS]

00:16:04 ◼   ► that sense of newness and and not to say that Apple's necessarily in a fetish [TS]

00:16:09 ◼   ► state but that people maybe aren't so tied to the experience for the quality [TS]

00:16:16 ◼   ► but they are attracted to that sense of newness and I was curious what you [TS]

00:16:20 ◼   ► thought about that is a good question I mean I think you know traditionally [TS]

00:16:25 ◼   ► Apple's customers have been exceedingly loyal almost extraordinary so and and I [TS]

00:16:30 ◼   ► think you can easily make the case that it's their customer loyalty that saved [TS]

00:16:36 ◼   ► them at their low point in the mid nineties when you know before the next [TS]

00:16:42 ◼   ► acquisition and etcetera it was the loyalty of the people who remained that [TS]

00:16:46 ◼   ► saved them because there was you know enough people to buy oh you know a [TS]

00:16:51 ◼   ► million or so max quarter for a few years until they turn the ship around [TS]

00:16:55 ◼   ► you know which was not that big a number compared to the whole PC industry but [TS]

00:17:00 ◼   ► you know a million two thousand or so dollar computers per quarter is enough [TS]

00:17:05 ◼   ► money to keep apple you know alive [TS]

00:17:08 ◼   ► and now when they're selling about 40 30 40 50 million iOS devices a quarter [TS]

00:17:18 ◼   ► something like fifty fifty five million iOS + iPod so price sixty million [TS]

00:17:25 ◼   ► quarter roughly and you know obviously that fluctuates with the holiday quarter [TS]

00:17:29 ◼   ► and with a big you know it combined with the fact that the holiday quarter has [TS]

00:17:34 ◼   ► now seems to be the new device quarter so it fluctuates but that's huge and [TS]

00:17:40 ◼   ► that's really at a radically different number than the million or so max that [TS]

00:17:45 ◼   ► they used to sell order how how loyal are those people that's a good question [TS]

00:17:52 ◼   ► I don't know I think that they're probably pretty loyal I think they're [TS]

00:17:58 ◼   ► more loyal than those in most companies customers and last loyal then the the [TS]

00:18:06 ◼   ► traditional Mac user base like I think it's because if you look at all of these [TS]

00:18:12 ◼   ► devices Apple has ever sold I would not be surprised if something crazy like 90% [TS]

00:18:18 ◼   ► of them have been sold in the last five years I just made that number up but [TS]

00:18:22 ◼   ► that would I think it probably does work out like that really do even in the last [TS]

00:18:27 ◼   ► ten years or something like that or or something like that I think it's heavily [TS]

00:18:32 ◼   ► front-loaded in the last couple of years and the other thing too especially in [TS]

00:18:37 ◼   ► the last five years the at you know the iPhone to iPad era is really the first [TS]

00:18:42 ◼   ► time when you would think most of their customers have multiple devices because [TS]

00:18:47 ◼   ► before the iPhone you know there were certainly professional people who had [TS]

00:18:53 ◼   ► but the desktop Mac and the Mac Book you know go back [TS]

00:18:57 ◼   ► PowerBook and iBook for every you know however far back you go but you know [TS]

00:19:03 ◼   ► normal people usually only have one computer I mean that's you know [TS]

00:19:07 ◼   ► computers you know especially with a further back in time you go the more [TS]

00:19:10 ◼   ► expensive they were right and so now i think is the you know I wouldn't have a [TS]

00:19:15 ◼   ► quite right and a proforma right where you would replace one and it would be on [TS]

00:19:21 ◼   ► a [TS]

00:19:21 ◼   ► use it for as many years as you could [TS]

00:19:24 ◼   ► whereas now I think that there's sort of an expectation that the typical Apple [TS]

00:19:31 ◼   ► user has both an iPad and iPhone and if they do by you know if they do switch [TS]

00:19:37 ◼   ► from Windows they're gonna buy a Macbook right if you look at the trailer at the [TS]

00:19:42 ◼   ► airport it's a it's a MacBook and an iPad and iPhone sitting on top of each [TS]

00:41:24 ◼   ► actually truly but it's you know I've seen a lot seems you know and it seems [TS]

00:41:28 ◼   ► like it's probably a legit statistic [TS]

00:41:31 ◼   ► yeah I guess I mean maybe BitTorrent surprises me a little but I guess that [TS]

00:41:36 ◼   ► that is always been kind of a an edge activity like not a mainstream thing and [TS]

00:41:42 ◼   ► to me it makes sense I mean that's Netflix is the mainstream long form [TS]

00:41:48 ◼   ► video service on the Internet like you know you'll watch YouTube for a couple [TS]

00:41:52 ◼   ► of minutes and a low bit rate so it doesn't matter how much bandwidth to [TS]

00:41:57 ◼   ► using but Netflix you will watch for hours in high def and you know that [TS]

00:42:04 ◼   ► makes sense to me what else is the bandwidth it's it's not like it's [TS]

00:42:07 ◼   ► possible bandwidth usage period its actual usage so it's not like you know [TS]

00:42:16 ◼   ► the potential capacity of all home internet connections in the country its [TS]

00:42:53 ◼   ► they're even on the [TS]

00:42:53 ◼   ► now right every every tablet every every phone you know basically anything with [TS]

00:43:01 ◼   ► the screen can play netflix which is something that I don't think any other [TS]

00:43:06 ◼   ► service has has approached that level of ubiquity certainly not iTunes because [TS]

00:43:12 ◼   ► Apple won't put it on anything that's not made by Apple and Amazon is not as [TS]

00:43:18 ◼   ► widely distributed so I guess the one that would surprise me as YouTube I [TS]

00:43:22 ◼   ► quite as in you to do more but I think they're trying to but I think it's [TS]

00:43:29 ◼   ► because YouTube people think of YouTube is a place where you go and watch 24 [TS]

00:43:33 ◼   ► minute videos you know right [TS]

00:43:35 ◼   ► music videos in cat riding a skateboard and and shit like that whereas nobody [TS]

00:43:41 ◼   ► really thinks I'm gonna go watch a feature film or or a show I mean and [TS]

00:43:46 ◼   ► obviously I think a big part of Netflix's success is thats where people [TS]

00:43:49 ◼   ► go to bend you watch shows you know I'm gonna go get into homefront [TS]

00:43:56 ◼   ► I don't really know pump runs on Netflix but if you do probably is [TS]

00:44:02 ◼   ► you start watching Netflix and that's where these out you know forty [TS]

00:44:06 ◼   ► eight-minute TV show episodes come in and then you watch the next one and then [TS]

00:44:11 ◼   ► the next one so I think that's where I wouldn't be surprised if people watch [TS]

00:44:15 ◼   ► more individual videos from YouTube but that's not as much aggregate video right [TS]

00:44:22 ◼   ► and YouTube is trying to get more into the longer form stuff but not like it's [TS]

00:44:28 ◼   ► their only goal because actually their their business model you know show a [TS]

00:44:32 ◼   ► bunch of ads works better with short form i think im said interrupting a [TS]

00:44:37 ◼   ► movie eight times get someone to watch 24 minute videos or something like that [TS]

00:44:43 ◼   ► and then you could put an add between all of them [TS]

00:44:45 ◼   ► whereas Netflix you know is a subscription-based service they're happy [TS]

00:44:49 ◼   ► to have you watched an unlimited amount of video as long as you're paying near [TS]

00:44:53 ◼   ► eight bucks a month I was skeptical about Netflix when their stars deal [TS]

00:44:59 ◼   ► collapsed as the stars thing was where stars as like this sort of obscure at [TS]

00:45:07 ◼   ► least to me is sort of HBO type cable channel where they have like HBO where [TS]

00:45:13 ◼   ► they have feature films and they have original programming but stars has [TS]

00:45:18 ◼   ► feature films and and good ones too they had all the Disney stuff right like a [TS]

00:45:25 ◼   ► big a deep archive of old movies that they had the right exactly like lots and [TS]

00:45:31 ◼   ► lots of old Disney movies actually wrote a post 10 stars movies to stream on [TS]

00:45:36 ◼   ► Netflix before they go away and there was like Scarface Toy Story 3 mallrats [TS]

00:45:41 ◼   ► not like necessarily the newest new releases but still movies that you would [TS]

00:45:47 ◼   ► have heard of before unlike a lot of the stuff but Netflix and what happened it [TS]

00:45:51 ◼   ► was it's it's sort of like a beautiful bit you know everybody loves to complain [TS]

00:45:55 ◼   ► about lawyers but some somewhere there was a lawyer who did this is like like [TS]

00:46:00 ◼   ► lowering at its best [TS]

00:46:03 ◼   ► somebody figured out that stars had worked out a contract with their [TS]

00:46:07 ◼   ► standard contract with all these studios allowed them not just to put these [TS]

00:46:12 ◼   ► things on their cable channel but to also put them on the internet and they [TS]

00:46:17 ◼   ► had no way stars didn't have like absurd anything land and when these contracts [TS]

00:46:20 ◼   ► are written but there it seems like everybody agreed to it because it never [TS]

00:46:24 ◼   ► it nobody actually thought it was going to happen you know it was just like a [TS]

00:46:28 ◼   ► clause in there that they you know among the rights that they have for these [TS]

00:46:30 ◼   ► movies for this time period is the right to put it on the internet and [TS]

00:46:34 ◼   ► furthermore I guess somebody you know figured out I probably had Netflix that [TS]

00:46:38 ◼   ► the contract also didn't are also allowed them to resell those rights or [TS]

00:46:44 ◼   ► two to partner with somebody else to have those rights so Netflix had all of [TS]

00:46:49 ◼   ► his movies not because Netflix worked out the rights to have them through all [TS]

00:46:54 ◼   ► these studios but all they did have a deal with stars to allow them to [TS]

00:46:58 ◼   ► broadcast the movies that started it and so you know this because whenever you [TS]

00:47:03 ◼   ► started those movies there would be a little stars bumper at the beginning of [TS]

00:47:07 ◼   ► it you know that the equivalent of the day HBO and that under down you know [TS]

00:47:15 ◼   ► that the stars equipment was before it so when that when that deal expired and [TS]

00:47:21 ◼   ► that was one year and a half ago when did you write February 2012 so I was [TS]

00:47:27 ◼   ► pretty close so a little bit over a year ago I really thought that puts us in [TS]

00:47:30 ◼   ► trouble because that's when I use Netflix most for almost all of my [TS]

00:47:34 ◼   ► Netflix viewing was movies that they'd had three stars and they don't they [TS]

00:47:40 ◼   ► really don't Netflix does not have a lot of good selection of movies anymore I [TS]

00:47:45 ◼   ► think I don't think at that point they had said that stars was eight percent of [TS]

00:47:52 ◼   ► their viewing so actually was before that so that's a that's adding that [TS]

00:47:59 ◼   ► shows that I'm I was in it was me being in a typical networks user not that [TS]

00:48:04 ◼   ► stars that essential to it you know and I was a little too [TS]

00:48:08 ◼   ► self centered about what what I thought other people were doing on Netflix [TS]

00:48:14 ◼   ► yeah and that's the thing that another thing that folks always did well even [TS]

00:48:17 ◼   ► going back to the DVD days was having this this extremely deep library of [TS]

00:48:23 ◼   ► stuff in effect actually just last week resub scribe two DVDs to get a couple [TS]

00:48:29 ◼   ► things that you still couldn't get anywhere online and try and I get a free [TS]

00:48:35 ◼   ► months I've been getting it just some random stuff sent to me but like some of [TS]

00:48:38 ◼   ► it is very obscure like a documentary about Ron Santo the World Cups player [TS]

00:48:43 ◼   ► that I don't think I'd ever find online but sure enough there it is on DVD and [TS]

00:48:48 ◼   ► Netflix so so but it's interesting they have signed some more so more deals to [TS]

00:48:55 ◼   ► get more stuff but other studios are also going away and and Netflix [TS]

00:49:02 ◼   ► meanwhile is doing its own content as well [TS]

00:49:05 ◼   ► house of cards arrested development and so far they've done quite well with it I [TS]

00:49:11 ◼   ► think I don't know if you watched house of cards I haven't yet I'm definitely [TS]

00:49:15 ◼   ► going to there's a hundred percent chance but I haven't it's it's good I [TS]

00:49:19 ◼   ► mean it's not like I wouldn't I didn't watch The West Wing and not really a Dec [TS]

00:49:24 ◼   ► politics kind of guy but Kevin Spacey's good I mean it's a little weird at the [TS]

00:49:29 ◼   ► beginning but it gets it gets really good and and apparently that got them a [TS]

00:49:34 ◼   ► lot of new subscribers and arrested development probably will too and [TS]

00:49:39 ◼   ► it seems to be that that Netflix is like the same person you know something that [TS]

00:49:45 ◼   ► belongs in every scene household anyone who watches TV should probably have a [TS]

00:49:49 ◼   ► reason to subscribe to Netflix at this point but that's something that's gonna [TS]

00:49:55 ◼   ► last for a long time or not [TS]

00:49:57 ◼   ► yeah and it's an interesting business model because they're not asking a lot i [TS]

00:50:01 ◼   ► mean you know $8 a month is here that's how much of your cus thats nothing but I [TS]

00:50:11 ◼   ► mean it was so you know what youre talking in the ballpark of $100 a year [TS]

00:50:15 ◼   ► which is not nothing but it's certainly nothing compared to what we are used to [TS]

00:50:19 ◼   ► paying for cable for me over $100 a month so I think it is for most people [TS]

00:50:24 ◼   ► and probably watch as much Netflix as cable sometimes maybe not all the time [TS]

00:50:31 ◼   ► but sometimes especially when we're binging through a series or something [TS]

00:50:34 ◼   ► like that so I think they're doing well I think that they're they're on to [TS]

00:50:39 ◼   ► something and i think that the original programming is obviously a big part of [TS]

00:50:42 ◼   ► it but I posted a a chart earlier this week which you linked to and exits funny [TS]

00:50:48 ◼   ► every time I write about AOL the chart showed how basically as AOL has lost [TS]

00:50:54 ◼   ► subscribers over the last 10 years [TS]

00:50:57 ◼   ► netflix has gained them in almost perfect symmetry Netflix is now bigger [TS]

00:51:03 ◼   ► than a while ever was [TS]

00:51:04 ◼   ► but if it's kind of cool chart it's one of my favorite charts visually that I've [TS]

00:51:09 ◼   ► ever made which is kind of showing this looks like a como most of it while [TS]

00:51:14 ◼   ► declining in Netflix growing and a guy who writes for real clear technology one [TS]

00:51:21 ◼   ► of the things I ask in the post was you know what what is what's gonna hurt [TS]

00:51:26 ◼   ► Netflix eventually what's going to cause them to eventually fizzle out if [TS]

00:51:29 ◼   ► anything you know something that's gonna be mobile oriented the Netflix can't do [TS]

00:51:34 ◼   ► or what's going to be and and and the guy had some interesting points one of [TS]

00:51:41 ◼   ► them was the potential for internet providers to [TS]

00:51:45 ◼   ► we talked about how Netflix is maybe a third of the bandwidth used you know if [TS]

00:51:51 ◼   ► if they were to charge for bandwidth by the Gigabyte the way that they do on [TS]

00:51:55 ◼   ► wireless networks you know and all the sudden Netflix cost a lot more than [TS]

00:52:00 ◼   ► eight bucks a month to use that's certainly potentially not good for them [TS]

00:52:06 ◼   ► or another one could be that they would continue to lose contracts for content [TS]

00:52:12 ◼   ► until now [TS]

00:52:14 ◼   ► netflix has been a source of new revenue for a lot of D TV studios who all the [TS]

00:52:19 ◼   ► sudden had a a place where they could make money off their old shows no one's [TS]

00:52:23 ◼   ► gonna pay 40 bucks and iTunes for season one of you know seasons one through five [TS]

00:52:28 ◼   ► of Mad Men but someone will certainly tear through them on Netflix but at some [TS]

00:52:34 ◼   ► point more content owners studios TV networks may kind of figure out oh well [TS]

00:52:41 ◼   ► you know if if there's an audience for this stuff maybe we should own that [TS]

00:52:44 ◼   ► maybe we should have the Warner Brothers I think Warner Brothers is actually [TS]

00:52:48 ◼   ► building their own online subscription-based movie service so I [TS]

00:52:55 ◼   ► don't like about that most people have no idea what the hell studio made [TS]

00:52:59 ◼   ► certain movies like nobody thinks like that nobody thinks let's go watch a [TS]

00:53:03 ◼   ► Warner Brothers movie no wonder I mean I guess you kind of have to do that with [TS]

00:53:07 ◼   ► TV shows like where if you want to watch Game of Thrones you know you gotta go to [TS]

00:53:11 ◼   ► HBO GO [TS]

00:53:12 ◼   ► by right but there's only four TV networks writer you know the movie [TS]

00:53:20 ◼   ► studios are there and who who is ever even thought about what movie studio [TS]

00:53:24 ◼   ► owns it besides maybe Disney yes that's why the one that has the most [TS]

00:53:27 ◼   ► recognition but even so even if you know it I think that's why the Netflix is [TS]

00:53:32 ◼   ► doing so well is that you just know all you have to know is go to Netflix open [TS]

00:53:37 ◼   ► up netflix on your Apple TV you're fired up on your Playstation or on your iPad [TS]

00:53:41 ◼   ► or something like that and you can find something and you don't have to worry [TS]

00:54:13 ◼   ► app store right who knows that I won't be surprised you know I think it's [TS]

00:54:19 ◼   ► coming but there have been so few changes to that software and so many new [TS]

00:54:26 ◼   ► people buying and using it that they gotta do something eventually I think [TS]

00:54:31 ◼   ► we're waiting on a better remote I think it's it's going to be a next generation [TS]

00:54:35 ◼   ► Apple TV was some kind of better I don't know if I can make any prediction about [TS]

00:54:40 ◼   ► what it's going to be but I think something better than an infrared up [TS]

00:54:44 ◼   ► down left right play pause to facilitate more than just play pause apps where the [TS]

00:54:52 ◼   ► best thing is that for whatever reason my tv remote and the Apple TV remote are [TS]

00:54:57 ◼   ► on the same whatever frequency or something so whenever I try whenever I [TS]

00:55:03 ◼   ► go left right on the AppleTV it changes the input on my TV also have to wait and [TS]
