00:06:33 ◼   ► ok but you know what that's gonna help

00:06:35 ◼   ► so much now Marcus case when he

00:06:36 ◼   ► making the making software he needs the

00:06:39 ◼   ► fastest concealed like that that changes

00:06:41 ◼   ► his his career if he can make the

00:06:44 ◼   ► software turn into software faster right

00:06:46 ◼   ► it is going to be sitting around some

00:06:48 ◼   ► kind of hobble genuine macbook air he

00:06:50 ◼   ► needs something that's gonna be called

00:06:53 ◼   ► building right because it takes time

00:06:56 ◼   ► that takes time and it takes it to your

00:06:57 ◼   ► pagan out your processors when you're

00:06:58 ◼   ► trying to make the instant papers that

00:07:00 ◼   ► correct yes that's one of those things

00:07:02 ◼   ► where the rest of us people who you know

00:07:05 ◼   ► like I don't think there's anything i do

00:07:07 ◼   ► anymore a computer that i have to wait

00:07:09 ◼   ► for the computer I i have the way less

00:07:11 ◼   ► energy unless something has gone wrong

00:07:13 ◼   ► that's exactly the same for me there's

00:07:15 ◼   ► nothing I do that wasn't a runaway

00:07:17 ◼   ► process that I mean occasionally you'll

00:07:20 ◼   ► see some squirrely happen for some

00:07:21 ◼   ► reason occasionally multi markdown takes

00:07:24 ◼   ► four processors and i don't know why but

00:07:26 ◼   ► friends not even running anything which

00:07:27 ◼   ► is weird but you know whatever it be

00:07:30 ◼   ► quit to quit the process but now like

00:07:32 ◼   ► what if i get real crazy and I have you

00:07:35 ◼   ► know 30 Safari windows open and a bunch

00:07:37 ◼   ► of tabs in each one and and there's a

00:07:39 ◼   ► couple of them that are doing JavaScript

00:07:40 ◼   ► over and open up activity monitor and it

00:07:42 ◼   ► says safari is using 90-some percent of

00:07:45 ◼   ► my cpu just idle in the background then

00:07:47 ◼   ► yes things get slow and presumably if I

00:07:49 ◼   ► had a faster machine i could still have

00:07:51 ◼   ► all of that going on and it wouldn't be

00:07:52 ◼   ► as noticeable but in general on my max

00:07:55 ◼   ► I'm never waiting for the cpu whereas

00:07:57 ◼   ► developers absolutely are like video

00:08:00 ◼   ► like if you're if you're doing video

00:08:01 ◼   ► there's a really kind of neat

00:08:03 ◼   ► you might have seen this on the app

00:08:04 ◼   ► store there's up I saw it ostensibly

00:08:06 ◼   ► because I was trying to test the new

00:08:07 ◼   ► drives you know when you get any dries

00:08:09 ◼   ► it's a good idea to kind of put him

00:08:11 ◼   ► through a torture test and at least find

00:08:12 ◼   ► out to the extent possible how you know

00:08:15 ◼   ► what I mean they say for drugs bad it's

00:08:17 ◼   ► going in the first few weeks which has

00:08:18 ◼   ► been my experience actually did find 1i

00:08:20 ◼   ► got a clunker but I there's this app you

00:08:23 ◼   ► can get and something disc something and

00:08:26 ◼   ► then cooked and I think what it does

00:08:29 ◼   ► it's made for video folks and so you

00:08:31 ◼   ► pound on this drive super hard and it

00:08:33 ◼   ► shows you how much like what's what's

00:08:35 ◼   ► sizes of video you can reasonably do

00:08:38 ◼   ► with your computer so right so if you're

00:08:40 ◼   ► if you're pushing out whatever 1080p

00:08:42 ◼   ► giant video you want all the power you

00:08:45 ◼   ► can get right that's heavily math

00:08:47 ◼   ► intensive stuff right

00:08:48 ◼   ► yeah ditto ditto for

00:08:50 ◼   ► pushing on instapaper right tell you

00:08:53 ◼   ► that was a good purchase room I yeah I

00:08:58 ◼   ► don't know maybe at I guess the thing

00:09:03 ◼   ► i'm not i'm confused about is how slow

00:09:05 ◼   ► but what kind of machine repair is

00:09:07 ◼   ► replacing with the i would i would

00:09:08 ◼   ► always feel like the same thing is like

00:09:10 ◼   ► moving somewhere you know like when

00:09:12 ◼   ► you're in a house you notice everything

00:09:14 ◼   ► that's wrong with where you live you

00:09:15 ◼   ► know the parking Sox your neighbor your

00:09:18 ◼   ► neighbors

00:09:18 ◼   ► I don't know what allowed to say on here

00:09:19 ◼   ► but your neighbors an unpleasant person

00:09:21 ◼   ► you know what you mean like you notice

00:09:23 ◼   ► everything that's wrong and then when

00:09:24 ◼   ► you move you suddenly noticed all these

00:09:27 ◼   ► things that you never knew or right

00:09:28 ◼   ► before and as i get older i start to

00:09:31 ◼   ► think more about the overhead involved

00:09:33 ◼   ► in changing anything and even today with

00:09:35 ◼   ► like migration assistant everything so

00:09:37 ◼   ► much better you can I have successfully

00:09:39 ◼   ► restored an ipad from the iCloud in like

00:09:42 ◼   ► minutes that you know sometimes it works

00:09:45 ◼   ► but you know what i mean it's like to be

00:09:46 ◼   ► the overhead of moving to a new machine

00:09:47 ◼   ► would be so much juju that I would worry

00:09:50 ◼   ► about that I would want a bigger

00:09:51 ◼   ► thinking about getting a new macbook air

00:09:53 ◼   ► because even though mind still working

00:09:54 ◼   ► great for almost two years ago i'm

00:09:57 ◼   ► attracted to the new ones but don't you

00:09:59 ◼   ► think I mean like I would way that in

00:10:01 ◼   ► terms of that bump and speed i would

00:10:02 ◼   ► think a lot about whether it's worth you

00:10:04 ◼   ► know me just for the chance that maybe

00:10:06 ◼   ► it's got a bum USB port or something

00:10:08 ◼   ► don't mean like that stuff happens the

00:10:09 ◼   ► overhead of that

00:10:10 ◼   ► yeah I also worry about and when I buy a

00:10:15 ◼   ► Mac I do i do I still feel like this i

00:10:17 ◼   ► still feel like you start you start over

00:10:19 ◼   ► right don't you go totally clean and

00:10:20 ◼   ► well that's now I don't really do that

00:10:23 ◼   ► but i had i feel like i'm gonna i'm i'm

00:10:26 ◼   ► in with this thing for four years

00:10:28 ◼   ► that's what i like to do I like to get

00:10:30 ◼   ► it set up and then I add all my stupid

00:10:32 ◼   ► little extras and get all the little

00:10:34 ◼   ► preferences moved over and and the

00:10:36 ◼   ► things that don't happen automatically

00:10:38 ◼   ► just through migration assistant

00:10:40 ◼   ► although I guess what i do is i don't

00:10:42 ◼   ► really use the migration assistant i try

00:10:44 ◼   ► to like start using the thing new and

00:10:46 ◼   ► then slowly one by one as I miss things

00:10:48 ◼   ► move them over that used to being up

00:10:50 ◼   ► that used to be easier in some ways that

00:10:54 ◼   ► back when you know what I mean like back

00:10:56 ◼   ► when you could just pull over an

00:10:57 ◼   ► application drop it in the folder I mean

00:11:00 ◼   ► for that matter you know extensions you

00:11:02 ◼   ► can just drop an extension in and

00:11:03 ◼   ► restarting

00:11:04 ◼   ► right you know what I mean he knew even

00:11:06 ◼   ► if you're not doing any tape stuff for

00:11:07 ◼   ► crazy cakes tough or anything like that

00:11:09 ◼   ► there's still there still a certain

00:11:11 ◼   ► amount of to do today and where's

00:11:12 ◼   ► migration assistant

00:11:14 ◼   ► knock on wood has you know if you've got

00:11:16 ◼   ► the time and the connection i bump blown

00:11:19 ◼   ► away with how migration assistant works

00:11:21 ◼   ► i have to say is it worked pretty well

00:11:22 ◼   ► for you yeah it does especially it works

00:11:24 ◼   ► a lot better for like Amy like as a just

00:11:27 ◼   ► a normal person it doesn't have stupid

00:11:30 ◼   ► system extensions and stuff like that

00:11:32 ◼   ► you know if you make sure you got enough

00:11:34 ◼   ► and she gets a new one she gets a new

00:11:36 ◼   ► machine you just do the standard

00:11:38 ◼   ► migration assistant thing and all of a

00:11:41 ◼   ► sudden an hour to later her machine is

00:11:43 ◼   ► all of our stuff on it I have it that's

00:11:45 ◼   ► that still feels like magic to me I

00:11:46 ◼   ► gotta say that this next one I don't

00:11:48 ◼   ► know if I want to spend the dough

00:11:48 ◼   ► because I i I've always said that my the

00:11:51 ◼   ► su-30 that I had whatever in there I

00:11:54 ◼   ► guess early nineties always still feels

00:11:57 ◼   ► like in my head like pound-for-pound

00:11:58 ◼   ► still feels like the fastest Mac I ever

00:12:00 ◼   ► had

00:12:01 ◼   ► that's probably not accurate but given

00:12:03 ◼   ► the balance of running like word 5.1 you

00:12:06 ◼   ► know what I mean like everything I was

00:12:07 ◼   ► doing just felt lightning-fast on a

00:12:09 ◼   ► computer but I gotta say this macbook

00:12:11 ◼   ► air i bought it on my birthday like

00:12:13 ◼   ► november two thousand ten i bought this

00:12:14 ◼   ► thing and it's to this day it still

00:12:16 ◼   ► feeling it still feels ridiculously fast

00:12:19 ◼   ► I know part of that's the SSD drive but

00:12:21 ◼   ► I mean that this one again my macpro

00:12:23 ◼   ► it's like beachball city and i'm forever

00:12:25 ◼   ► Apple jacking and f cking and doing all

00:12:28 ◼   ► the Mojo to try and you know when I

00:12:31 ◼   ► don't know this is true for you in my

00:12:32 ◼   ► experience it feels like most the time i

00:12:33 ◼   ► get beach balls

00:12:34 ◼   ► it's not because the processor stuff or

00:12:36 ◼   ► whatever it's because yeah maybe I'm low

00:12:38 ◼   ► on space but I it feels like it's always

00:12:40 ◼   ► like a tiny little nick of disc damage

00:12:43 ◼   ► that might be causing it to forget that

00:12:46 ◼   ► yeah I know exactly and so i'll go but i

00:12:49 ◼   ► don't think i get it anymore with the

00:12:50 ◼   ► ssds I think the ssds are sort of like

00:12:52 ◼   ► that well that's the thing is i mean i

00:12:54 ◼   ► don't know i'm so so the new macbook

00:12:57 ◼   ► airs don't get the right now that's only

00:12:58 ◼   ► on the macbook pro right exactly yeah so

00:13:00 ◼   ► that's you know it's it's kinda like why

00:13:03 ◼   ► didn't get you know the ipad 3 is

00:13:06 ◼   ► because it's just not enough there yet

00:13:09 ◼   ► it's why for the sake of argument friend

00:13:11 ◼   ► is not me would not put iOS 6 on Carrie

00:13:14 ◼   ► phone it's not like I don't need sports

00:13:17 ◼   ► scores

00:13:17 ◼   ► from this not me does not need support

00:13:18 ◼   ► scores you know I'm saying it's not

00:13:20 ◼   ► quite there yet

00:13:22 ◼   ► it's almost there with macbook air just

00:13:23 ◼   ► because now i'm hungry in the same way

00:13:25 ◼   ► i'm guessing like Marco I'm hungry for

00:13:26 ◼   ► that like that pounding speed it's you

00:13:29 ◼   ► know so you know that phenomenon that's

00:13:32 ◼   ► so a common it's a cliché which is you

00:13:36 ◼   ► get your new computer and you go oh my

00:13:38 ◼   ► god this is so much faster than my other

00:13:40 ◼   ► computer and within four to nine days he

00:13:43 ◼   ► stopped noticing that it's faster now

00:13:46 ◼   ► maybe this is my virtue of the fact that

00:13:47 ◼   ► i do have two main max that I do stuff

00:13:50 ◼   ► on that that macbook air still feels so

00:13:53 ◼   ► freakin fast to me I mean everything

00:13:56 ◼   ► everything feels so fast it's like it

00:13:57 ◼   ► really is like a completely different

00:13:59 ◼   ► experience and in the memory very first

00:14:02 ◼   ► notice i I've got back and forth on now

00:14:04 ◼   ► back on launch bar but what I really

00:14:06 ◼   ► remember was when i first got it and I

00:14:07 ◼   ► still in Quicksilver it was the first

00:14:08 ◼   ► time in years the Quicksilver was a

00:14:10 ◼   ► no-look app it has been so long since I

00:14:13 ◼   ► could just hit a thing and know that it

00:14:14 ◼   ► was working in type to deny me know

00:14:16 ◼   ► because for a long time it went down as

00:14:19 ◼   ► Quicksilver or my mac but I got to where

00:14:21 ◼   ► I hid the thing and then I look to make

00:14:23 ◼   ► sure it got it and I type to make sure

00:14:26 ◼   ► that had caught up and you know as what

00:14:29 ◼   ► that stuff I think you like this a long

00:14:31 ◼   ► time ago like the name i think that was

00:14:33 ◼   ► you looking to like the difference in

00:14:35 ◼   ► like you know portions of a second in

00:14:37 ◼   ► terms of whether people will buy

00:14:38 ◼   ► something on amazon or on a site its

00:14:40 ◼   ► imperceptible but but you do it is

00:14:43 ◼   ► perceptible somewhere in your brain and

00:14:45 ◼   ► anyway that macbook air just so blazing

00:14:47 ◼   ► fast i think i'm addicted I'm hungry and

00:14:48 ◼   ► that's why I think a person like Marco

00:14:50 ◼   ► who probably a little too much money

00:14:51 ◼   ► like you go out and get that extra

00:14:53 ◼   ► little bit because you don't mean it's

00:14:55 ◼   ► like you know you at least you know in

00:14:56 ◼   ► your mind when you're sitting there and

00:14:58 ◼   ► waiting for the instapaper to get made

00:15:00 ◼   ► at least in your mind your knowing that

00:15:02 ◼   ► there's no chance you could be working

00:15:03 ◼   ► on something that's faster

00:15:04 ◼   ► yeah I I'd see the logic of that I do

00:15:07 ◼   ► especially if you're there it's the same

00:15:08 ◼   ► reason that I think it's worth it to buy

00:15:10 ◼   ► a good chair you know that you're in it

00:15:14 ◼   ► all the time you know I i spent i think

00:15:19 ◼   ► i think i bought this chair about a year

00:15:20 ◼   ► ago but i spent like the last I think

00:15:24 ◼   ► about that chair at ikea in 1999 or

00:15:27 ◼   ► something like that and it was like ikea

00:15:28 ◼   ► price desk chair and it was so I don't

00:15:31 ◼   ► know maybe I spent 60 bucks in 99 on a

00:15:34 ◼   ► chair that I thought was pretty

00:15:36 ◼   ► comfortable it didn't have adjustable

00:15:38 ◼   ► arm rest but they just were perfectly

00:15:41 ◼   ► placed for my arms very comfortable

00:15:43 ◼   ► chair and I sat in that chair my home

00:15:45 ◼   ► office until like last year i think and

00:15:48 ◼   ► then it finally they literally just

00:15:49 ◼   ► broke and my standards for buying a

00:15:52 ◼   ► chair where well i think you know 70 80

00:15:55 ◼   ► bucks is about what you spend on an

00:15:56 ◼   ► office chair and you know what I thought

00:15:58 ◼   ► that's not i should get seduced and

00:16:00 ◼   ► research because I'm there I'm here all

00:16:02 ◼   ► day long I'm here I don't know how long

00:16:04 ◼   ► do I work i think i work at least an

00:16:05 ◼   ► hour a day or more importantly spend it

00:16:09 ◼   ► in like three minutes in vegas exactly

00:16:10 ◼   ► so i don't know i know i said i got this

00:16:12 ◼   ► chair and i love it and i think i spent

00:16:14 ◼   ► I don't like seven hundred dollars on it

00:16:16 ◼   ► or something like them which seems crazy

00:16:18 ◼   ► to me it still seems crazy than air on

00:16:21 ◼   ► that it's it's not an aeron it's like

00:16:23 ◼   ► it's like an errand i forget the name of

00:16:26 ◼   ► it but it might even have been designed

00:16:28 ◼   ► but it's like super adjustable air

00:16:30 ◼   ► economic chuckles yeah it doesn't have I

00:16:34 ◼   ► don't think anywhere near as many points

00:16:36 ◼   ► of adjustment as as an actual air on but

00:16:39 ◼   ► it's like that and it has a couple of

00:16:41 ◼   ► key ways that it's adjustable and it

00:16:44 ◼   ► just it's have it set up just right and

00:16:46 ◼   ► I always you know very very comfortable

00:16:48 ◼   ► in the chair but it's worth it for you

00:16:50 ◼   ► know because I expect to have this chair

00:16:52 ◼   ► at least 10 years that's like a sharp

00:16:55 ◼   ► knife in the kitchen

00:16:56 ◼   ► exactly i mean it's it's not that much

00:16:58 ◼   ► more money to get and maintain a good

00:17:00 ◼   ► knife and keep it sharp because you're

00:17:03 ◼   ► going to be driven a little bit crazy

00:17:04 ◼   ► every time you almost cut your finger

00:17:06 ◼   ► every time you touch a cucumber

00:17:07 ◼   ► that's no way to live I i agree with you

00:17:10 ◼   ► and that's why I mean like I don't know

00:17:11 ◼   ► that again i have so much like probably

00:17:13 ◼   ► out-of-date accumulated Mac conventional

00:17:16 ◼   ► wisdom in my head but I still always

00:17:18 ◼   ► feel like if you're gonna buy a mac by

00:17:21 ◼   ► the by the top-of-the-line one in

00:17:22 ◼   ► whatever you're buying by putting as

00:17:24 ◼   ► much room as you can get the biggest

00:17:26 ◼   ► hard drive you can everything everything

00:17:27 ◼   ► and even if its imperceptible like when

00:17:29 ◼   ► I got that macbook air I got the most

00:17:30 ◼   ► tricked-out when I could because there's

00:17:32 ◼   ► never going to be a day where I go I

00:17:33 ◼   ► wish this thing was just a little bit

00:17:34 ◼   ► slower and you can you know the ram you

00:17:38 ◼   ► can always use more RAM that's number

00:17:39 ◼   ► you're never going to know

00:17:40 ◼   ► I need more ram exactly now I totally

00:17:43 ◼   ► agree it is funny that I think about

00:17:45 ◼   ► that i mean i use your mark down

00:17:47 ◼   ► I mean it's what I to the point where

00:17:49 ◼   ► people are sick of hearing about it it's

00:17:50 ◼   ► what I do all day long and what is that

00:17:52 ◼   ► I mean it's has a text file and then

00:17:55 ◼   ► occasionally it runs a little filter and

00:17:58 ◼   ► but i mean that's that's really the

00:17:59 ◼   ► extent acorn like I go in a corner and I

00:18:02 ◼   ► do stuff in layers and I mean it's

00:18:04 ◼   ► nothing like what I used to do with

00:18:05 ◼   ► photoshop back in the day it's kind of

00:18:07 ◼   ► funny though that computing power has

00:18:09 ◼   ► gone through the roof

00:18:11 ◼   ► I'm doing less and less stuff that would

00:18:12 ◼   ► need it I don't play games you know what

00:18:15 ◼   ► i mean but it does make a difference in

00:18:17 ◼   ► your if you like workflow there's so

00:18:19 ◼   ► many little things if you have added

00:18:21 ◼   ► little bits of stuff to make your

00:18:22 ◼   ► computer work more the way you want

00:18:25 ◼   ► I think it will tolerate a lot of that

00:18:26 ◼   ► stuff better we have more like I almost

00:18:28 ◼   ► want to say like I don't know

00:18:30 ◼   ► headroom like you just you're not gonna

00:18:32 ◼   ► run into those barriers as fast you're

00:18:34 ◼   ► not going to have to like delete stuff

00:18:35 ◼   ► from your drive is often you're not

00:18:36 ◼   ► going to have to like you know run all

00:18:39 ◼   ► those utilities we used to have to run

00:18:40 ◼   ► to find out what weird thing was causing

00:18:42 ◼   ► the problem that i like the chair

00:18:45 ◼   ► analogy though I freaked my god I'm

00:18:48 ◼   ► under strict forgetting I'm under strict

00:18:49 ◼   ► orders from my family to get a new chair

00:18:51 ◼   ► it's it's become it looks like something

00:18:53 ◼   ► that like used to be a well-loved teddy

00:18:54 ◼   ► bear and now like somebody at bus

00:18:56 ◼   ► stations been sleeping on its it is it

00:18:59 ◼   ► is disgusting and it's not economic and

00:19:01 ◼   ► I can't feel my left off

00:19:02 ◼   ► I think the problem is with you you

00:19:05 ◼   ► should got the air on because now you

00:19:06 ◼   ► don't have the the triceps flexor now it

00:19:09 ◼   ► is it's going to have an unarmed it is

00:19:11 ◼   ► also mine is like an air on which is in

00:19:14 ◼   ► that it's like a mesh you know like

00:19:17 ◼   ► instead of a padded foam thing that you

00:19:19 ◼   ► sit on it it's a mesh thing which I

00:19:23 ◼   ► think if you know if you really want to

00:19:25 ◼   ► think about the accumulated to that go

00:19:28 ◼   ► into a chair i do think that's the way

00:19:30 ◼   ► to go for long-term maybe not it get to

00:19:33 ◼   ► scatological but there's something oh

00:19:37 ◼   ► you're seeing air that thing out a

00:19:39 ◼   ► little that you know I'm saying that

00:19:40 ◼   ► that uh I'm saying that maybe that that

00:19:43 ◼   ► ikea one that I had for 12 years had a

00:19:45 ◼   ► lot of

00:19:45 ◼   ► you know maybe i shouldn'ta just

00:19:46 ◼   ► throwing it out the trash maybe I should

00:19:48 ◼   ► have taken that to like a some kind of

00:19:50 ◼   ► special disposal we ever get stuff like

00:19:52 ◼   ► you know it's so crazy making and get

00:19:54 ◼   ► stuff in the mail that's got like

00:19:55 ◼   ► private information on your life haha

00:19:57 ◼   ► now i don't want credit card thing I

00:19:59 ◼   ► don't want this and then what do you

00:20:00 ◼   ► gotta tear off all of your identifying

00:20:02 ◼   ► information if you're like me in your

00:20:04 ◼   ► weirdo either like shred it or you tear

00:20:06 ◼   ► it into pieces and put in different

00:20:07 ◼   ► trash cans friends not mean in your case

00:20:09 ◼   ► you probably should have cut out i don't

00:20:11 ◼   ► wanna say the center of the seat

00:20:13 ◼   ► you should have cut out at least an oval

00:20:16 ◼   ► right after going out and a an asshole i

00:20:18 ◼   ► don't think that ass ellipses and then

00:20:20 ◼   ► you should probably either shred that or

00:20:22 ◼   ► put that in several garbage cans maybe

00:20:23 ◼   ► hazmat bag exact nobody's going to want

00:20:25 ◼   ► that you put on the street you can harm

00:20:26 ◼   ► a kid exactly you live in Philadelphia

00:20:29 ◼   ► hear you you like a good meal i don't

00:20:33 ◼   ► know i did try something drives me crazy

00:20:35 ◼   ► like on NPR when they're constantly

00:20:37 ◼   ► advertising the the Aeron chair and true

00:20:40 ◼   ► black I don't know if you get that their

00:20:41 ◼   ► know every time I hear that get angry

00:20:43 ◼   ► about aeron chairs like I don't know

00:20:45 ◼   ► exclusive movies really Aeron chair now

00:20:48 ◼   ► available in true black and you're like

00:20:49 ◼   ► oh god damn it I wish I hadn't bought

00:20:52 ◼   ► just that horse crap black one a few

00:20:54 ◼   ► years ago as it really is closer to

00:20:56 ◼   ► charcoal and now i have no i have not

00:20:57 ◼   ► heard this what is the difference do

00:20:59 ◼   ► they explain the difference between

00:21:00 ◼   ► black and true don't think they need to

00:21:02 ◼   ► explain i think you keep your Johnson

00:21:04 ◼   ► rod type situation with this chair stuff

00:21:06 ◼   ► i mean i think i think it's around all

00:21:07 ◼   ► the way down you could use always

00:21:09 ◼   ► probably I'm guessing there's always

00:21:11 ◼   ► more costly like mattresses you know a

00:21:12 ◼   ► racquetball yeah are right

00:21:14 ◼   ► same deal also can i just say mattresses

00:21:16 ◼   ► another situation we should probably cut

00:21:18 ◼   ► the ellipsis yeah well probably several

00:21:20 ◼   ► lipsy especially if you have made my

00:21:21 ◼   ► need a shredder like a giant industrial

00:21:23 ◼   ► sized shredder you should this room i

00:21:25 ◼   ► think the shredder

00:21:26 ◼   ► I don't listen to the radio much I don't

00:21:28 ◼   ► want the commercial radio much but when

00:21:30 ◼   ► I do it's all about mattresses

00:21:31 ◼   ► I'm just think there's a lot of

00:21:32 ◼   ► mattresses out there that probably

00:21:33 ◼   ► should be dealt with you know you see

00:21:35 ◼   ► the street mattresses right you get

00:21:37 ◼   ► Street mattresses i have you mean when

00:21:40 ◼   ► you see mattresses on the city is what

00:21:42 ◼   ► ya people just add they're not that they

00:21:44 ◼   ► put this way John they're not putting a

00:21:45 ◼   ► lot of care into what happens to the

00:21:47 ◼   ► mattress a lot it's a lot of stuff has

00:21:48 ◼   ► gone down on that mattress Jonas Jonas

00:21:50 ◼   ► and I have a running gag when we see a

00:21:52 ◼   ► street mattress this is something you

00:21:54 ◼   ► see in it and you know I think any urban

00:21:57 ◼   ► area you often to see a mattress

00:21:59 ◼   ► shoes on the wires you just see matches

00:22:01 ◼   ► some artichoke is you do you want a nap

00:22:03 ◼   ► haha i don't know what i would do we got

00:22:09 ◼   ► one of those

00:22:10 ◼   ► we got a fully Swedish one but now you

00:22:13 ◼   ► got me thinking about the that that

00:22:15 ◼   ► aerated but hammock and now it's gonna

00:22:18 ◼   ► be troubling to me and I feel like I'm

00:22:20 ◼   ► to need to stand up every time I need to

00:22:21 ◼   ► break when i'm i'm thinking the true

00:22:23 ◼   ► black Iran is that you say that and all

00:22:26 ◼   ► I can think of is the the business card

00:22:29 ◼   ► scene from american psycho haha yeah

00:22:33 ◼   ► right and they're talking about their

00:22:35 ◼   ► errands and then the last guy he says

00:22:37 ◼   ► well there's true black and then the guy

00:22:40 ◼   ► knows you know then he gets like the

00:22:41 ◼   ► sweat because he knows he's he's been

00:22:43 ◼   ► beaten doesn't have to but that's the

00:22:46 ◼   ► sort of thing that's why I was reluctant

00:22:47 ◼   ► to to even consider these

00:22:50 ◼   ► five-hundred-dollar and more office

00:22:52 ◼   ► chairs because I just didn't want to get

00:22:54 ◼   ► into that whole thing at night you know

00:22:56 ◼   ► that don't you feel like a sucker

00:22:58 ◼   ► I mean like a sucker for spending I mean

00:23:00 ◼   ► about you but like I don't spend seven

00:23:02 ◼   ► hundred dollars on chair is very often

00:23:03 ◼   ► but sometimes I'll go like you know I

00:23:06 ◼   ► need to go spend some money myself to

00:23:07 ◼   ► feel good

00:23:08 ◼   ► let's say maybe the chair and the chair

00:23:09 ◼   ► is a good way to do that I don't spend

00:23:11 ◼   ► that much less a lot of dough for me but

00:23:13 ◼   ► my problem is i would go in there and I

00:23:15 ◼   ► would want some kind of John syracuse

00:23:17 ◼   ► with me i would want some kind of

00:23:19 ◼   ► seating lawyer who could go in there and

00:23:21 ◼   ► make sure that i'm not getting the

00:23:22 ◼   ► screwgy right because I i could easily

00:23:24 ◼   ► go in there like the mattress thing

00:23:26 ◼   ► which let's be clear

00:23:27 ◼   ► it is a racket mattresses are a

00:23:29 ◼   ► reference but in my case it's the same

00:23:31 ◼   ► for everything i buy and and you know

00:23:33 ◼   ► really to nothing not to be on topic but

00:23:35 ◼   ► one thing to apples credit is really

00:23:37 ◼   ► only so many things you can do to trick

00:23:39 ◼   ► it out you can go and get like a you

00:23:41 ◼   ► know a calfskin case for your dingus but

00:23:45 ◼   ► by and large you know you're not gonna

00:23:46 ◼   ► be able to get you can't get like you

00:23:47 ◼   ► know what ninety six gigs of ram just to

00:23:51 ◼   ► say you've got it

00:26:18 ◼   ► stole from my college

00:26:20 ◼   ► ok so if anybody's ever seen a photo of

00:26:25 ◼   ► of anything I've ever done on my desk

00:31:15 ◼   ► generation but it's old and it being

00:31:18 ◼   ► serious is this sounds crazy but it's

00:31:19 ◼   ► kind of related when you're on a macbook

00:31:20 ◼   ► air a lot of the day or if I'm an ipad

00:31:22 ◼   ► the ipad 2 is a thousand times faster

00:31:24 ◼   ► than the thing that's running DMVs

00:31:27 ◼   ► whatever those are or mkvs whatever

00:31:29 ◼   ► those are you don't mean no I dunno even

00:31:36 ◼   ► watches appletv are you streaming it

00:31:38 ◼   ► running off a local box streaming from

00:31:42 ◼   ► just connect to itunes and if it's not

00:31:43 ◼   ► on itunes then I'm i'm not watching if

00:31:46 ◼   ► you'd asked me six months ago whether

00:31:47 ◼   ► that would work i would say sometimes I

00:31:49 ◼   ► can't believe how well that works it

00:31:51 ◼   ► works really well it's one of the few

00:31:53 ◼   ► things apple has going on in the cloud

00:31:55 ◼   ► that I think they've really got down

00:31:57 ◼   ► stone cold

00:31:59 ◼   ► no I there's like three things in that

00:32:03 ◼   ► space that they're getting right and

00:32:04 ◼   ► almost everything else is a mess

00:32:05 ◼   ► yeah i totally agree with you last I

00:32:07 ◼   ► told you I think it actually I don't

00:32:09 ◼   ► it was in messages that app so it

00:32:11 ◼   ► probably didn't go through what I was

00:32:12 ◼   ► telling you i watch the I was meant to

00:32:14 ◼   ► tell you i watch the Johnny Carson thing

00:32:15 ◼   ► I which is which is really really

00:32:18 ◼   ► interesting but I watched it like you

00:32:20 ◼   ► suggested i watched on my iPad in the

00:32:22 ◼   ► PBS app right which was completely crazy

00:32:25 ◼   ► making it was like after I got my iphone

00:32:26 ◼   ► and I had to go back to occasionally

00:32:28 ◼   ► doing anything on my chubby or or nuvi I

00:32:32 ◼   ► guess anything that ends with an is

00:32:34 ◼   ► going to be a terrible interface because

00:32:35 ◼   ► i feel like i had to punch it had to get

00:32:36 ◼   ► a special prodding stick to make the

00:32:38 ◼   ► chumby work you don't mean like when

00:32:40 ◼   ► your kid picks up a kindle and tries to

00:32:42 ◼   ► touch the screen

00:32:43 ◼   ► yep that's how I felt I've gotten so

00:32:45 ◼   ► spoiled already on apple TV streaming

00:32:47 ◼   ► that like when I want to watch this PBS

00:32:50 ◼   ► thing and like a notification popped up

00:32:52 ◼   ► and then i have to like start over or

00:32:54 ◼   ► something was so weird

00:32:55 ◼   ► yeah I run into that sometimes with the

00:33:01 ◼   ► baseball games because i have the

00:33:02 ◼   ► mentality yeah and it works great on

00:33:04 ◼   ► apple TV but every once in awhile and I

00:33:07 ◼   ► don't even think it's happening this

00:33:07 ◼   ► season but every once in a while like

00:33:09 ◼   ► that the streaming on apple TV with MLB

00:33:12 ◼   ► would get get janky and i would think

00:33:15 ◼   ► while switch to my phone because it's

00:33:17 ◼   ► right here in my pocket and do the

00:33:19 ◼   ► airplay to the apple TV and then that's

00:33:22 ◼   ► just as good but then all of a sudden

00:33:23 ◼   ► one somebody sends you a text message in

00:33:25 ◼   ► the whole thing just falls apart because

00:33:26 ◼   ► the phone like drops the airplay so it

00:33:29 ◼   ► can show you that the alert

00:33:32 ◼   ► I i find that extremely frustrating and

00:33:35 ◼   ► uh personally and I i if I had my

00:33:39 ◼   ► druthers I would wish that that would

00:33:41 ◼   ► work a little bit differently and here's

00:33:43 ◼   ► a use case from from literally 10

00:33:45 ◼   ► minutes before our call

00:33:46 ◼   ► I was on I was on a phone call with

00:33:48 ◼   ► somebody long phone call and you know a

00:33:50 ◼   ► long phone call means four minutes 45

00:33:51 ◼   ► you gotta do gonna take a little

00:33:53 ◼   ► breather in between right yeah got to

00:33:55 ◼   ► spend a penny and so I jonathan coulton

00:33:58 ◼   ► got to hear me urinate for about 15

00:34:00 ◼   ► seconds because i thought that i had hit

00:34:02 ◼   ► the thing it shut off the call but the

00:34:06 ◼   ► dingus was up telling me that I had a

00:34:08 ◼   ► podcast with john gruber in 10 minutes

00:34:10 ◼   ► it's jonathan got a little cross country

00:34:12 ◼   ► treat that doesn't it seem like i should

00:34:15 ◼   ► be able to hit the red button

00:34:17 ◼   ► I mean you know there's always the joke

00:34:20 ◼   ► about like you can't like slam the phone

00:34:21 ◼   ► down with anybody with a mobile phone

00:34:23 ◼   ► like a feature phone doesn't seem weird

00:34:25 ◼   ► that I have to dismiss a pop-up in order

00:34:28 ◼   ► to like turn the phone off yeah i think

00:34:30 ◼   ► that the popups those blue pop up alerts

00:34:33 ◼   ► and iOS are oddly modal they're like the

00:34:36 ◼   ► JavaScript alerts you know when you just

00:34:38 ◼   ► in JavaScript you just type alert space

00:34:41 ◼   ► you know whatever the string here and

00:34:43 ◼   ► you get this thing that just pops up and

00:34:46 ◼   ► you can't use anything else in your

00:34:47 ◼   ► browser until you you know it seems

00:34:49 ◼   ► oddly reminds me of of not os9 but

00:34:52 ◼   ► whatever system nine well-liked system

00:34:54 ◼   ► we could six though you know what I mean

00:34:55 ◼   ► where everything where you had to click

00:34:57 ◼   ► ok or cancel and that was it you could

00:34:59 ◼   ► write desktop to click on write any time

00:35:01 ◼   ► an alert and any app would come up it

00:35:03 ◼   ► was system model you couldn't switch to

00:35:05 ◼   ► another app you had to do it just seems

00:35:07 ◼   ► very very model it just seems I don't

00:35:10 ◼   ► just one of those things where I think i

00:35:11 ◼   ► missed it in my

00:35:12 ◼   ► hey little things apple could fix in

00:35:14 ◼   ► ios6 just seems like they should I don't

00:35:17 ◼   ► know be at the top and slide down and

00:35:20 ◼   ► just sit there until you deal with them

00:35:22 ◼   ► you know sort of sort of more like a not

00:35:26 ◼   ► called what's the thing called on the

00:35:27 ◼   ► mac that now they have in the

00:35:29 ◼   ► Notification Center in Mountain Lion the

00:35:31 ◼   ► like we choose between it's almost like

00:35:35 ◼   ► he's talking about like the thing that's

00:35:36 ◼   ► like a growl ya around

00:35:38 ◼   ► it should be like growl in the way that

00:35:40 ◼   ► they've done it in it should just be

00:35:41 ◼   ► there any and will be visible and you if

00:35:44 ◼   ► you're looking at your phone you can't

00:35:45 ◼   ► miss it it's there but it doesn't

00:35:47 ◼   ► interrupt everything that's going on to

00:35:49 ◼   ► too much of that would be a little

00:35:50 ◼   ► android but but you know how you can

00:35:52 ◼   ► choose when you get a notification

00:35:53 ◼   ► center you can choose like nine and by

00:35:56 ◼   ► the way what a mess you know having me

00:36:00 ◼   ► on the show another time working just

00:36:01 ◼   ► wine and I got so much to worry about

00:36:03 ◼   ► right now

00:36:03 ◼   ► what you don't let me before you keep on

00:36:05 ◼   ► me to stop and do it yeah we have energy

00:36:07 ◼   ► everything we talked about that you like

00:36:08 ◼   ► I do I think you're gonna like this one

00:36:10 ◼   ► okay i want to tell you about Launch

00:36:12 ◼   ► Center pro from our friends at appt

00:36:15 ◼   ► cubby i'm predicting that you've heard

00:36:17 ◼   ► of this app big fan

00:36:19 ◼   ► it's an app for the iphone and I think

00:36:25 ◼   ► it's one of those apps it's really

00:36:26 ◼   ► really hard to describe it's sort of

00:36:28 ◼   ► like in in theory maybe sort of like a

00:36:31 ◼   ► quicksilver for iOS and i just wrote

00:36:34 ◼   ► this the other day about the Chrome for

00:36:37 ◼   ► iOS where if you want to fire off a

00:36:39 ◼   ► bookmarklet and chrome for iOS you have

00:36:41 ◼   ► to type it in their little omnibox you

00:36:43 ◼   ► up there and type this box retype urls

00:36:45 ◼   ► and search queries you can also type the

00:36:47 ◼   ► name of one of your bookmarks and if

00:36:49 ◼   ► it's a bookmark let then you can fire it

00:36:51 ◼   ► off but whereas on safari users tap

00:36:54 ◼   ► bookmarks and then there's a list of

00:36:56 ◼   ► your bookmarks so tap tap

00:36:57 ◼   ► you've done it on iOS I like to tap I

00:37:00 ◼   ► don't like the night I was when you and

00:37:02 ◼   ► your little short piece i was telling

00:37:03 ◼   ► with you I thought I open chrome and was

00:37:05 ◼   ► completely perplexed right and I like

00:37:07 ◼   ► where I would go I rely very heavily on

00:37:09 ◼   ► safari I have a very carefully crafted

00:37:12 ◼   ► series of bookmarking to show up first

00:37:14 ◼   ► exactly like it's like I've made my own

00:37:16 ◼   ► little interface to Safari which is like

00:37:18 ◼   ► the top six bookmarklets in my bookmarks

00:37:20 ◼   ► list which do things and I know exactly

00:37:22 ◼   ► i can almost navigate by this

00:37:25 ◼   ► that's without even looking I use on the

00:37:28 ◼   ► mac i use launch bar which is you know

00:37:31 ◼   ► competitive quicksilver's Alfred's

00:37:33 ◼   ► another one and these are these things

00:37:35 ◼   ► where you'd fire them up you type

00:37:36 ◼   ► something and hit return Launch Center

00:37:38 ◼   ► pro is the same thing in theory for iOS

00:37:41 ◼   ► but instead of firing it and typing

00:37:43 ◼   ► something you fire it and you tap

00:37:45 ◼   ► something and it's all customizable you

00:37:47 ◼   ► can configure it for the shortcuts you

00:37:49 ◼   ► need and the idea is that you're going

00:37:52 ◼   ► to put it somewhere where it's super

00:37:54 ◼   ► super convenient

00:37:54 ◼   ► I think it's really honestly I think

00:37:56 ◼   ► it's intended to be in the doc it's

00:37:57 ◼   ► supposed to be one of your like top four

00:37:59 ◼   ► things and what you can do is you could

00:38:01 ◼   ► take something out like let's say your

00:38:03 ◼   ► phone app take it out and create Launch

00:38:06 ◼   ► Center shortcuts for the people you call

00:38:08 ◼   ► the most frequently and then you go home

00:38:11 ◼   ► screen launch center boom call Merlin

00:38:15 ◼   ► because I call you I mean I probably

00:38:16 ◼   ► call you three four times a day at least

00:38:19 ◼   ► especially on weekends I actually

00:38:23 ◼   ► there's only one thing that's

00:38:23 ◼   ► frustrating about this app which is that

00:38:25 ◼   ► you have to launch it at all right

00:38:26 ◼   ► because once it's open there's nothing

00:38:29 ◼   ► the closest i can think of is not funny

00:38:31 ◼   ► i like a lot of people like I use search

00:38:34 ◼   ► on iOS like I would Quicksilver like I'm

00:38:36 ◼   ► forever I don't like flipping around so

00:38:39 ◼   ► like if I know I want to get to

00:38:40 ◼   ► something and I filled every screen I

00:38:42 ◼   ► got to that point where I can't see all

00:38:43 ◼   ► my apps you know what i mean so i'll

00:38:45 ◼   ► flip over to search and type in some

00:38:47 ◼   ► letters and that pulls up a nap that's

00:38:49 ◼   ► great but the thing Launch Center I

00:38:51 ◼   ► don't hijack your thing here but I

00:38:52 ◼   ► really been using this app and it's

00:38:54 ◼   ► amazing you're right you going to

00:38:56 ◼   ► customize but it's not even it's not

00:38:58 ◼   ► even just a launcher it's and your pride

00:39:00 ◼   ► getting to this but what's amazing is

00:39:02 ◼   ► you can go in and with a click you could

00:39:04 ◼   ► do things like create an item in a

00:39:06 ◼   ► calendar-like all agenda create an item

00:39:08 ◼   ► with this location create an item with

00:39:11 ◼   ► this default title so like

00:39:12 ◼   ► daddy-daughter time is is a that's a

00:39:14 ◼   ► button i click that you can then you can

00:39:16 ◼   ► also have putting the clipboard or put

00:39:18 ◼   ► in a contact name or put in input like

00:39:20 ◼   ► manual input and make stuff like

00:39:22 ◼   ► creating an OmniFocus task dialing a

00:39:24 ◼   ► number sending a message to this person

00:39:26 ◼   ► it's got little variables it's a little

00:39:28 ◼   ► bit limited but it's growing and you can

00:39:30 ◼   ► launch apps

00:39:31 ◼   ► it's aight i think it's a terrific app a

00:39:34 ◼   ► special note just for you and

00:39:37 ◼   ► upcoming version 1.03 and at the top of

00:39:41 ◼   ► their list text expander support you and

00:39:46 ◼   ► Errol attack spinners and it works in

00:39:48 ◼   ► the applique can explode text and

00:39:49 ◼   ► shortcuts

00:39:50 ◼   ► I think it's going to explode

00:39:51 ◼   ► TextExpander shortcuts gonna that would

00:39:53 ◼   ► be that would be magic it you just have

00:39:58 ◼   ► to see it and it also i have to admit I

00:40:00 ◼   ► was very skeptical and this is from our

00:40:02 ◼   ► friends at apco bead David Bernard is

00:40:04 ◼   ► sort of the pool bar over there and he's

00:40:07 ◼   ► he's a great guy i've linked to many

00:40:09 ◼   ► times from during far but he's also very

00:40:10 ◼   ► open about his iOS experiences he's

00:40:15 ◼   ► documents you know pretty much open

00:40:18 ◼   ► kimono the financial aspects of being in

00:40:21 ◼   ► indy iOS developer and he sort of

00:40:23 ◼   ► admitted that launch center was sort of

00:40:26 ◼   ► just under just a little like scratching

00:40:28 ◼   ► his own niche idea and it's turned into

00:40:31 ◼   ► a big hit for them i think it's going to

00:40:32 ◼   ► get the top of some a lot of these lists

00:40:34 ◼   ► in the appstore afternoon when i first

00:40:37 ◼   ► heard it I didn't even think it was

00:40:38 ◼   ► possible because it seems like that sort

00:40:40 ◼   ► of extending the system type of utility

00:40:44 ◼   ► isn't really possible and i'll say what

00:40:46 ◼   ► it seems like it seems like one of those

00:40:48 ◼   ► apps that goes unlock your screen with a

00:40:50 ◼   ► gesture or you don't mean one of those

00:40:53 ◼   ► after like use your fingerprint and it's

00:40:55 ◼   ► totally not that that's why it's got one

00:40:57 ◼   ► star reviews it seems like it's one it

00:40:59 ◼   ► seems like one of those and I'm saying

00:41:00 ◼   ► it's not this but there's all these apps

00:41:02 ◼   ► that get on the top ten the with a joke

00:41:04 ◼   ► right

00:41:05 ◼   ► it seems like a joke and when I open

00:41:06 ◼   ► this thing up i thought oh haha how

00:41:09 ◼   ► funny is that click here to add an army

00:41:11 ◼   ► focus task with an input thing or and

00:41:13 ◼   ► it's hard to explain this except it's

00:41:14 ◼   ► it's getting i would put it up with

00:41:17 ◼   ► maybe why don't you know yeah you know I

00:41:19 ◼   ► don't understand computers i would put

00:41:21 ◼   ► it up with one password and text

00:41:23 ◼   ► expander in the oh my god how did they

00:41:24 ◼   ► get away with something that's useful

00:41:26 ◼   ► right because there's so and I don't

00:41:28 ◼   ► know how this is working but more apps

00:41:30 ◼   ► seem to get added to this we

00:41:32 ◼   ► yes it's great to be able to launch the

00:41:33 ◼   ► app I don't know if it's fun being clear

00:41:35 ◼   ► about this

00:41:36 ◼   ► you can have preset stuff if you do

00:41:38 ◼   ► stuff all the time it's all in there

00:41:40 ◼   ► it's all in this is why i say the only

00:41:41 ◼   ► thing is frustrating having to launch it

00:41:43 ◼   ► I i wish it was open all the time in the

00:41:45 ◼   ► same way that you use a full-time so i

00:41:47 ◼   ► hijacked your and that's alright it's

00:41:48 ◼   ► really i mean i've really you

00:41:50 ◼   ► did you tell me this was going to be the

00:41:51 ◼   ► sponsor did I know this no you did not

00:41:53 ◼   ► know this is all from my heart is on top

00:41:56 ◼   ► secret I don't tell anybody I spring the

00:41:57 ◼   ► sponsors on on the guest of the show

00:41:59 ◼   ► see that's where you got to make people

00:42:00 ◼   ► wait for it exactly but I mean I I'm

00:42:03 ◼   ► just telling you as merlin mann former

00:42:05 ◼   ► productivity guru I i think this is

00:42:07 ◼   ► really useful and if there's some way

00:42:09 ◼   ► that you guys keep that in nebulous

00:42:10 ◼   ► notes that would be really awesome but

00:42:12 ◼   ► launched a text file with this stuff in

00:42:14 ◼   ► it if you just think it's one of the

00:42:16 ◼   ► things like text expander and i am an

00:42:18 ◼   ► alternate text and rapper like me want

00:42:20 ◼   ► to use text expander you feel like a

00:42:21 ◼   ► sucker to to not use it i find myself

00:42:23 ◼   ► gravitating toward a nap i will write an

00:42:25 ◼   ► email in nebulous names just because

00:42:27 ◼   ► it's got all the stuff I one in it and

00:42:29 ◼   ► in this instance I mean I see this

00:42:31 ◼   ► applet some very interesting places as

00:42:33 ◼   ► long as it can that get away with it

00:42:36 ◼   ► well one of the things that really takes

00:42:38 ◼   ► advantage of and I think that the the

00:42:39 ◼   ► heart and soul of the launch center pro

00:42:42 ◼   ► is this these URLs that app support and

00:42:45 ◼   ► I think it's most people don't know

00:42:47 ◼   ► about this even people like nerds and

00:42:49 ◼   ► people who listen to our shows don't

00:42:51 ◼   ► know that on iOS really the only way one

00:42:53 ◼   ► app can talk to another is through

00:42:55 ◼   ► custom URLs and so like you could have a

00:42:58 ◼   ► note-taking app like by word or

00:43:01 ◼   ► something like that where by word has a

00:43:04 ◼   ► special URL instead of HTTP colon slash

00:43:07 ◼   ► slash it's like byword a / x dash by

00:43:10 ◼   ► word I don't know what it is but Launch

00:43:12 ◼   ► Center is programmed with knows about

00:43:14 ◼   ► all of these hundreds maybe I don't know

00:43:17 ◼   ► but doesn't say anything in the dingus

00:43:19 ◼   ► hear their sites that will show you

00:43:21 ◼   ► write that there are so many like if you

00:43:24 ◼   ► put one password at one time for colon

00:43:25 ◼   ► slash slash the it works it's an earl

00:43:28 ◼   ► scheme just like would work on the web

00:43:29 ◼   ► or as a lot of people don't know on your

00:43:31 ◼   ► Mac as well right and so Launch Center

00:43:34 ◼   ► he knows about these things it already

00:43:36 ◼   ► knows the format for these things so you

00:43:38 ◼   ► fill them in so you you can do stuff

00:43:40 ◼   ► it's really surprising the shortcuts you

00:43:42 ◼   ► can make so if you always want to fire

00:43:44 ◼   ► off a new note in this one app for

00:43:47 ◼   ► certain things

00:43:48 ◼   ► boom here to taps away one tap on launch

00:43:51 ◼   ► center one tap on your custom shortcut

00:43:53 ◼   ► that you've made for the thing that you

00:43:55 ◼   ► do the most frequently it's a great app

00:43:58 ◼   ► you can visit apka b.com for more

00:44:01 ◼   ► information and they have a demo video

00:44:04 ◼   ► or just search for launch center in the

00:44:06 ◼   ► app store things like buck 99 290 and

00:44:10 ◼   ► something like that i don't want your ad

00:44:12 ◼   ► to Longwood maybe after we're done i'll

00:44:13 ◼   ► give you a couple of these because I got

00:44:15 ◼   ► some good ones in here

00:44:16 ◼   ► yeah I knew you would love this app

00:44:17 ◼   ► because you're the master of stuff like

00:44:19 ◼   ► this how this you going to buy one of

00:44:21 ◼   ► those stupid is you don't have the

00:44:22 ◼   ► answers over but you know you go on but

00:44:24 ◼   ► when the stupid flashlight apps

00:44:25 ◼   ► how about this you hit a button called

00:44:26 ◼   ► flashlight and it hits your LED doing a

00:44:29 ◼   ► hundred percent Houthis have used toggle

00:44:31 ◼   ► here talking with giant like so you want

00:44:34 ◼   ► to keep your lady up or or I'm sorry

00:44:36 ◼   ► your bachelors partner and so you hit

00:44:38 ◼   ► toggle and you have a selection of two

00:44:40 ◼   ► ranges you pick a number between one and

00:44:42 ◼   ► a hundred and they want to hit toggle

00:44:44 ◼   ► change the parental how this works John

00:44:46 ◼   ► Gruber you hit toggle and suddenly my

00:44:48 ◼   ► screen changes to 2% brightness I hit it

00:44:51 ◼   ► again it goes to like what I keep it on

00:44:53 ◼   ► sixty sixty percent brightness but you

00:44:54 ◼   ► go in and you pick what that is

00:44:57 ◼   ► I'm and that sounds weird but like how I

00:44:59 ◼   ► mean think about this this is one that I

00:45:01 ◼   ► loved on my HTC android that i missed

00:45:03 ◼   ► here is the ability like flipping and

00:45:05 ◼   ► you flip bluetooth on and off or

00:45:06 ◼   ► whatever but you have to go change your

00:45:08 ◼   ► your embed your ipad i can't get an ipad

00:45:10 ◼   ► dark enough to not keep my wife awake

00:45:12 ◼   ► but in this instance yeah but you're

00:45:15 ◼   ► saying and where somebody hit dropbox

00:45:17 ◼   ► you go do a thing it's like it'sit's

00:45:19 ◼   ► crazy and then anything to do with

00:45:20 ◼   ► contacts this is going to obviate 50

00:45:22 ◼   ► different no offense to anybody else but

00:45:23 ◼   ► it'll obviate like five other apps that

00:45:26 ◼   ► you might be using for this hockey stuff

00:45:27 ◼   ► because you can just say make a phone

00:45:29 ◼   ► call to this person with this one click

00:45:31 ◼   ► I'm sorry I'm going onto i'm going to

00:45:32 ◼   ► try i'd i'd you went real fast you got

00:45:34 ◼   ► real Merlin either but powerful thing is

00:45:36 ◼   ► fascinating it's you hit this button and

00:45:38 ◼   ► it toggles your screen brightness

00:45:40 ◼   ► between like super bright you need it

00:45:42 ◼   ► because the sun shining in your eyes not

00:45:44 ◼   ► going to see it or really really dim

00:45:45 ◼   ► like it's the like you said like it's

00:45:47 ◼   ► your in bed it's nighttime and

00:45:49 ◼   ► somebody's next you trying to sleep two

00:45:52 ◼   ► taps away instead of fishing into the

00:45:54 ◼   ► settings app and going down to the end

00:45:55 ◼   ► if you're a nerd you pick axe and why

00:45:57 ◼   ► the room who knew that at third party

00:46:00 ◼   ► house tour and how that's possible can

00:46:02 ◼   ► change that because apparently because

00:46:04 ◼   ► the brightness setting has a you

00:46:05 ◼   ► Apple has a URL that developers can use

00:46:07 ◼   ► a URL scheme for changing the screen

00:46:09 ◼   ► brightness I didn't even know that was

00:46:11 ◼   ► possible not you know this isn't

00:46:13 ◼   ► jailbreak stuff this is right there in

00:46:14 ◼   ► the app store it's great that I've got a

00:46:16 ◼   ► bunch the only Calendar apps on my

00:46:18 ◼   ► favorite calendar app right now is

00:46:19 ◼   ► called calendars it's really really

00:46:21 ◼   ► great but the other thing that I also

00:46:23 ◼   ► really like one called agenda and so I

00:46:25 ◼   ► got one here when i click on this i

00:46:26 ◼   ► click on

00:46:27 ◼   ► so you've got these are described you

00:46:29 ◼   ► got a grid of what's four times three

00:46:31 ◼   ► you got 12 of these buttons on the

00:46:33 ◼   ► screen but then you can have the

00:46:34 ◼   ► equivalent of a folder by clicking and

00:46:37 ◼   ► you don't have to double click on it you

00:46:38 ◼   ► click it and it pops straight up so its

00:46:40 ◼   ► thumb thumb thumb and you're just doing

00:46:42 ◼   ► your thing and so it will go and create

00:46:44 ◼   ► an item and you know whatever I have a

00:46:46 ◼   ► family

00:46:47 ◼   ► let go create like time for me and my

00:46:48 ◼   ► kid to hangout hit that it doesn't

00:46:50 ◼   ► create that you can create with a

00:46:51 ◼   ► certain location and will eat it's there

00:46:52 ◼   ► and like any of this life hack nonsense

00:46:54 ◼   ► if you do anything more than once

00:46:56 ◼   ► automated like red shell script for

00:46:57 ◼   ► whatever in this instance it's all baked

00:46:59 ◼   ► in here the only two downsides yes you

00:47:02 ◼   ► have to launch it would be nice for open

00:47:03 ◼   ► all the time but you know that's a joke

00:47:04 ◼   ► John when I say that I'm saying I wish

00:47:06 ◼   ► this were bound to my home key but the

00:47:10 ◼   ► other thing is i could spend all day

00:47:11 ◼   ► making these because they are so useful

00:47:13 ◼   ► and they're adding new ones all the time

00:47:14 ◼   ► yeah and it's a very quickly be nice it

00:47:16 ◼   ► would be nice if you could set it to

00:47:17 ◼   ► launch on double tap home or something

00:47:20 ◼   ► like that or triple tap home like a way

00:47:22 ◼   ► that you could boom absolutely yeah

00:47:25 ◼   ► anybody's great at creating new textile

00:47:27 ◼   ► Launch Center pro in the App Store you

00:47:30 ◼   ► can do it all well is a new show next

00:47:33 ◼   ► week what you'll have your back and

00:47:34 ◼   ► we'll talk more about our Long Center

00:47:35 ◼   ► shortcut enjoy that do these do i like

00:47:38 ◼   ► to wait for time mercies do i know i

00:47:41 ◼   ► think ideally it to you

00:49:34 ◼   ► grizzly which may have got a little

00:49:36 ◼   ► weird but that was me that Apple's way

00:49:39 ◼   ► whereby got a little weird you may think

00:49:41 ◼   ► you've got trashed but that's a shame

00:49:46 ◼   ► but is that what letters little like

00:49:48 ◼   ► good

00:49:51 ◼   ► thing about you got to open a woman when

00:49:53 ◼   ► you're not gonna make buzz-buzz can have

00:49:55 ◼   ► a blog post you know where the funniest

00:49:57 ◼   ► thing about that though is that it went

00:49:58 ◼   ► in the strangest possible way which was

00:50:01 ◼   ► that it was say nothing about the

00:50:03 ◼   ► usability of the app just take a look at

00:50:05 ◼   ► it was exquisite

00:50:07 ◼   ► it was exquisite you did not see

00:50:08 ◼   ► anything you didn't need to see it was

00:50:11 ◼   ► he needed to see if your power user you

00:50:13 ◼   ► knew where it was and if you weren't

00:50:14 ◼   ► even care

00:50:15 ◼   ► Nevin Morgan is a designer he now works

00:50:17 ◼   ► at panic alongside cable sasser I mean

00:50:20 ◼   ► that that's the caliber of work that

00:50:22 ◼   ► Nevin does I mean this we're talking

00:50:23 ◼   ► about guy who went on to work i don't

00:50:25 ◼   ► think he worked at panic it maybe he did

00:50:27 ◼   ► but anyway he is bi world-class UI

00:50:30 ◼   ► designer and the app looked like it was

00:50:33 ◼   ► exquisite and then the they sold it to

00:50:35 ◼   ► brazilian grizzly came out

00:50:36 ◼   ► the version that looks like me and you

00:50:37 ◼   ► designed it you know like like on a

00:50:39 ◼   ► cocktail napkin like it wasn't bad per

00:50:42 ◼   ► se

00:50:42 ◼   ► I mean it was you know but it was like

00:50:44 ◼   ► they raced all of the exquisiteness and

00:50:47 ◼   ► it was just sort of genericized you know

00:50:50 ◼   ► I mean like if me and you sat down and

00:50:51 ◼   ► end and fired up photoshop and spend a

00:50:53 ◼   ► week trying to make a twitter app we

00:50:56 ◼   ► could make like what brisley came out

00:50:57 ◼   ► with and then we would hand it to

00:50:59 ◼   ► someone like Nevin and say now make it

00:51:01 ◼   ► look actually good i think they went the

00:51:03 ◼   ► other way like they know they gave us

00:51:04 ◼   ► like giving Natalie Portman trucker cap

00:51:06 ◼   ► is your movement moving in the wrong

00:51:08 ◼   ► direction Johnny but it was not enough

00:51:11 ◼   ► for me now are you are you a tweak tweak

00:51:13 ◼   ► pot user i use the tweet but the sweet

00:51:15 ◼   ► spot for me is another one that paul guy

00:51:17 ◼   ► seems a little aggravated sometimes on

00:51:18 ◼   ► the internet but had I love the sweet

00:51:19 ◼   ► spot he will either he's a pretty little

00:51:22 ◼   ► guy sometimes

00:51:23 ◼   ► yeah but i really like the sweet spot in

00:51:25 ◼   ► those gestures you know there's that is

00:51:27 ◼   ► the st. John I've always loved on max I

00:51:29 ◼   ► guess apple stuff in general which is

00:51:31 ◼   ► this magical thing where I'll do

00:51:33 ◼   ► something and maybe not even realize i

00:51:36 ◼   ► what i was doing and something happens

00:51:38 ◼   ► that i didn't realize i expected to

00:51:40 ◼   ► happen and it worked and suddenly it

00:51:42 ◼   ► feels like a moment of magic and that

00:51:44 ◼   ► happens sometimes now in apps will do

00:51:45 ◼   ► like I'll go you know what I'm going to

00:51:47 ◼   ► try and swipe to the right and see if

00:51:50 ◼   ► this takes me back i took me back to a

00:51:51 ◼   ► list that's so freaking cool the first

00:51:53 ◼   ► time I had motives plugged into my

00:51:55 ◼   ► macbook pro and I i we forgot that I

00:51:58 ◼   ► wasn't on my iPhone and hit mute and

00:52:01 ◼   ► we'll wait a minute commute worked on my

00:52:05 ◼   ► macbook pro you know what I mean that

00:52:08 ◼   ► that's that's so magic when you don't

00:52:09 ◼   ► have to sit there and read documentation

00:52:11 ◼   ► for that stuff it's just it was a term

00:52:14 ◼   ► for this new user experience right the

00:52:15 ◼   ► thing you've most expect to happen when

00:52:17 ◼   ► you do something

00:52:18 ◼   ► yeah there is a term but we'll just call

00:52:21 ◼   ► it the thing that you most expect to

00:52:22 ◼   ► happen but they also but the other thing

00:52:24 ◼   ► is you know and wipe creating this and

00:52:27 ◼   ► stuff like a bar like if I wanted

00:52:28 ◼   ► somebody said something nice about

00:52:29 ◼   ► Roderick on the line and I want to

00:52:31 ◼   ► retune it all that you do a long hold on

00:52:35 ◼   ► the reetou button and ask you which

00:52:36 ◼   ► account you want to that's really that's

00:52:39 ◼   ► really that's really clever because

00:52:41 ◼   ► you're not going on the modality stuff I

00:52:42 ◼   ► gotta change you have to go over here i

00:52:44 ◼   ► got re-enter a thingy

00:52:45 ◼   ► yes I i do understand that there's a lot

00:52:47 ◼   ► of people who think that the whole tap

00:52:49 ◼   ► bots you I aesthetic is too heavy-handed

00:52:52 ◼   ► and because it is i mean it's way over

00:52:54 ◼   ► the top and you know the whole robot

00:52:56 ◼   ► themed and you know I turn off the

00:52:58 ◼   ► sounds like the sounds the only app i

00:53:01 ◼   ► keep that nonsense on I sometimes I get

00:53:03 ◼   ► but sometimes i'll fire up a new device

00:53:05 ◼   ► and I'd forget I don't turn off the

00:53:07 ◼   ► sound I don't mind them but keyboard

00:53:09 ◼   ► clicking exactly that's a rookie

00:53:12 ◼   ► oh man the keyboard clicking oh I love

00:53:14 ◼   ► the keyboard clicking you don't use

00:53:16 ◼   ► keyboard clicking and iOS you really

00:53:19 ◼   ► don't you you're screwing with me now i

00:53:21 ◼   ► do use it and i have one time and i

00:53:23 ◼   ► would type 40 times faster if i had the

00:53:25 ◼   ► clicking but it just feels so douchey to

00:53:27 ◼   ► me to have that on me i really need it I

00:53:30 ◼   ► need the feedback

00:53:31 ◼   ► huh mine's been getting bad you know

00:53:34 ◼   ► it's adi have you gotten this like I'm

00:53:35 ◼   ► ready to do a reset because I now get

00:53:37 ◼   ► auto corrections of things I've typed

00:53:38 ◼   ► incorrectly before i'll try to type

00:53:42 ◼   ► anything and go like four loop you know

00:53:45 ◼   ► that that's another one of those things

00:53:46 ◼   ► that I can't believe they haven't gotten

00:53:48 ◼   ► the iOS yet is that you please help me

00:53:50 ◼   ► back because I i seriously listen to us

00:53:52 ◼   ► to hear this

00:54:11 ◼   ► keyboard and then have a list of the

00:54:14 ◼   ► auto corrections and you could add you

00:54:17 ◼   ► know and and and fix the ones that get

00:54:19 ◼   ► in it still seems like you can totally

00:54:20 ◼   ► tell you why not you can groove a bad

00:54:23 ◼   ► autocorrect right you let an autocorrect

00:54:26 ◼   ► go once or twice and then all of a

00:54:27 ◼   ► sudden it's in there and there's nothing

00:54:29 ◼   ► you can do about it

00:54:30 ◼   ► well I did you get this and I don't know

00:54:32 ◼   ► where this is coming from

00:54:33 ◼   ► hi this is this either at first I

00:54:38 ◼   ► hitting the wrong target

00:54:39 ◼   ► have you gotten the thing where it goes

00:54:42 ◼   ► so I do this thing sometimes I want to

00:55:22 ◼   ► know the Phenom it didn't used to do

00:55:23 ◼   ► this for me and now it does and i think

00:55:25 ◼   ► it's become sentient and I don't like it

00:55:27 ◼   ► it has at least given up on correcting

00:55:32 ◼   ► swears that did the trick

00:55:34 ◼   ► duck you know what when you address

00:55:36 ◼   ► contact caii did I I light but I was it

00:55:39 ◼   ► works for me now that I've taken them

00:56:23 ◼   ► excessive to me what the hell did that

00:56:24 ◼   ► happen

00:56:25 ◼   ► we should talk about this on another

00:56:27 ◼   ► showcase this is probably too long

00:56:29 ◼   ► already but this is this is this is the

00:56:30 ◼   ► thing what you're describing

00:56:32 ◼   ► yes I wish I had that I wish I could do

00:56:34 ◼   ► that on the desktop i wish there was a

00:56:35 ◼   ► desktop dingus where I could go in and

00:56:38 ◼   ► say here's all the audit you know what I

00:56:39 ◼   ► mean like I know that sounds ridiculous

00:56:40 ◼   ► right why why is it that i have to

00:56:43 ◼   ► re-enter those hobbled iOS abbreviations

00:56:46 ◼   ► on every device i sit there with two

00:56:48 ◼   ► devices open to try to make a matchup

00:56:50 ◼   ► that should be synced through iCloud

00:56:52 ◼   ► that seems like a no-brainer but then

00:56:54 ◼   ► what now going to go into the going to

00:56:56 ◼   ► the experience on iOS of having to do

00:56:58 ◼   ► that you get this long ugly list that's

00:57:00 ◼   ► totally unwieldy and that's the problem

00:57:02 ◼   ► notifications like tell me how a normal

00:57:04 ◼   ► person who's not a nerd with time

00:57:07 ◼   ► to kill gets all the notifications the

00:57:09 ◼   ► way they want because here's what

00:57:11 ◼   ► happens you got a new app

00:57:13 ◼   ► hey this thing would like to give you

00:57:14 ◼   ► notifications well of course I want

00:57:15 ◼   ► notifications I'm not an idiot

00:57:17 ◼   ► you hit it and suddenly you're finding

00:57:19 ◼   ► out that somebody just leveled up on

00:57:20 ◼   ► food book or whatever him now you know

00:57:23 ◼   ► Jonas has an old 3gs center right now

00:57:26 ◼   ► they play the games on and he's always

00:57:28 ◼   ► get notifications from the stupid games

00:57:30 ◼   ► he plays like you know you installed it

00:57:32 ◼   ► gets a new game a ninety-nine cents and

00:57:34 ◼   ► he okay's the the get notifications and

00:57:37 ◼   ► it's stupid stuff like you know you

00:57:39 ◼   ► haven't haven't played we miss you

00:57:41 ◼   ► you're eligible for a smart bomb

00:57:43 ◼   ► yeah there's no bullets available in the

00:57:45 ◼   ► cowboy game and I mean and it's like I I

00:57:49 ◼   ► go I see that I go in there and I just

00:57:51 ◼   ► turned it all I turn it all off its like

00:57:53 ◼   ► no you don't you don't get to send text

00:57:55 ◼   ► messages to make it telling mrs. no I

00:57:58 ◼   ► don't want to rehash my extensive lining

00:58:01 ◼   ► i did imac power users a couple weeks

00:58:02 ◼   ► ago because i went into a pretty long

00:58:03 ◼   ► thing on this but what I mean this is

00:58:06 ◼   ► one part that I wish that I cloud I

00:58:09 ◼   ► think could do a better job with ok

00:58:12 ◼   ► the basic value proposition of the Apple

00:58:14 ◼   ► products the the way that it's evolving

00:58:16 ◼   ► in a way that I like and I'm happy with

00:58:17 ◼   ► is that they are trying on some level to

00:58:20 ◼   ► simplify the experience right i mean you

00:58:22 ◼   ► know you go in you by your new iOS

00:58:25 ◼   ► device you don't need to own a mac like

00:58:26 ◼   ► that's really cool in theory right then

00:58:28 ◼   ► how do you delete large files

00:58:30 ◼   ► how do you know how much space is left

00:58:31 ◼   ► on your phone we all obviously you drill

00:58:33 ◼   ► down into settings and going to usage

00:58:34 ◼   ► and then go in there and you delete all

00:58:36 ◼   ► of your music or you keep all of your

00:58:37 ◼   ► music like that's a little ham-fisted

00:58:39 ◼   ► for me but the problem is so striking

00:58:42 ◼   ► that instance like it screw the idea of

00:58:44 ◼   ► just owning a phone is great but like

00:58:46 ◼   ► well let's take the total corner case

00:58:47 ◼   ► let's say you're super rich guy you're

00:58:49 ◼   ► super duper rich guy who just retired

00:58:50 ◼   ► and you say you know what I'm going to

00:58:52 ◼   ► buy one of these iphones when I was

00:58:53 ◼   ► tricked out what I can

00:58:55 ◼   ► I'm gonna buy all my favorite the

00:58:56 ◼   ► loneliest monk records i'm going to get

00:58:57 ◼   ► a 720p of my granddaughter taking our

00:59:00 ◼   ► first steps

00:59:01 ◼   ► pretty soon your phone's full you walk

00:59:02 ◼   ► into the foundation meeting you like a

00:59:04 ◼   ► dick like how do you how do you deal

00:59:06 ◼   ► with all that stuff on there without

00:59:08 ◼   ► either going through a million fiddly

00:59:10 ◼   ► swipes or buy a mac i actually think

00:59:15 ◼   ► android does a better job of this where

00:59:18 ◼   ► the

00:59:19 ◼   ► first the first run you mean II well

00:59:21 ◼   ► that you the basic idea is you buy a new

00:59:24 ◼   ► iOS device that's just a an iphone and

00:59:27 ◼   ► you give it your iCloud ID and it knows

00:59:30 ◼   ► some stuff about you and it will set up

00:59:32 ◼   ► some stuff and you can do stuff like go

00:59:36 ◼   ► to the App Store and seed apps you

00:59:38 ◼   ► already own that aren't installed on the

00:59:39 ◼   ► phone and it also offer to let you back

00:59:42 ◼   ► up from an iCloud backup but everything

00:59:46 ◼   ► doesn't come with that it seems to me it

00:59:47 ◼   ► doesn't seem like you get everything if

00:59:50 ◼   ► you don't really do a restart now my

00:59:53 ◼   ► I've done I've had two unsuccessful

00:59:55 ◼   ► restores and one successful restore the

00:59:57 ◼   ► first time it was successful which

00:59:59 ◼   ► seemed like Disney Matt

00:59:59 ◼   ► seemed like Disney Matt

01:00:00 ◼   ► dick but i did a restore of my eye when

01:00:02 ◼   ► I got an ipad 20 you know and the thing

01:00:05 ◼   ► is John this is the Albatross we must

01:00:07 ◼   ► constantly mention this to people I'm

01:00:09 ◼   ► click to encrypt in itunes because i

01:00:11 ◼   ► love your passwords why is that not

01:00:13 ◼   ► default i have no you will not get your

01:00:16 ◼   ► settings and let you have that turned on

01:00:17 ◼   ► its a marker trick but we've been clear

01:00:19 ◼   ► about what this is very flattered when

01:00:21 ◼   ► interacting you're going you know I got

01:00:23 ◼   ► it when you back up and iOS device to

01:00:25 ◼   ► your Mac or presumably a windows machine

01:00:27 ◼   ► not to iCloud but to your Mac and I say

01:00:30 ◼   ► do both i do the iCloud backups and the

01:00:32 ◼   ► mac backups because I figured you know

01:00:33 ◼   ► can't lose with you my daughter

01:00:35 ◼   ► suspenders yeah but when you back up to

01:00:36 ◼   ► your Mac if you encrypt the backup even

01:00:39 ◼   ► if you are not worried about somebody

01:00:41 ◼   ► snooping into your backup even if you

01:00:43 ◼   ► are completely certain that even if

01:00:45 ◼   ► you're using the the file vault and you

01:00:47 ◼   ► feel like you're covered because your

01:00:48 ◼   ► whole disk is encrypted so why encrypt

01:00:50 ◼   ► your backup you gotta click that button

01:00:52 ◼   ► and encrypt your back up with a password

01:00:54 ◼   ► because then then and only then your

01:00:57 ◼   ► backup book includes your passwords and

01:01:01 ◼   ► then when you restore from that backup

01:01:03 ◼   ► you don't have to enter every single

01:01:04 ◼   ► email accounts password again which

01:01:07 ◼   ► could have been so much easier to

01:01:08 ◼   ► explain if there was a check box that

01:01:11 ◼   ► said remember my settings right and then

01:01:13 ◼   ► ? for help i can tell you I down the

01:01:16 ◼   ► exact same as you where I was went years

01:01:18 ◼   ► on iOS without doing that because I was

01:01:20 ◼   ► not concerned about the the security I

01:01:23 ◼   ► anybody who had access to my Mac what's

01:01:25 ◼   ► the long way to phrase it i mean right

01:01:27 ◼   ► it's that it's really it's really

01:01:29 ◼   ► bananas

01:01:29 ◼   ► I mean because that's what you're the

01:01:31 ◼   ► value of that that seems like a nerd bit

01:01:34 ◼   ► to flip right right but it's absolutely

01:01:37 ◼   ► you know when it when I want to save my

01:01:39 ◼   ► butt was a friend of friend who's not me

01:01:43 ◼   ► was on iOS 5 beta lion beta and atv data

01:01:50 ◼   ► atv tube8 all at the same time no sorry

01:01:52 ◼   ► originally anyway the point being i was

01:01:54 ◼   ► constantly restoring constantly

01:01:56 ◼   ► constantly constantly restoring I mean

01:01:58 ◼   ► if you're probably on the 5 beta do you

01:02:00 ◼   ► remember when was like oh my god

01:02:01 ◼   ► suddenly Wi-Fi sinking worked

01:02:03 ◼   ► yeah and you're like this is the most of

01:02:05 ◼   ► it and then suddenly one day not only

01:02:07 ◼   ► did it stop working but it wouldn't take

01:02:10 ◼   ► a tethered did you get this one where it

01:02:13 ◼   ► would

01:02:13 ◼   ► not only stop backing upper 60s me stop

01:02:15 ◼   ► not only stopped syncing with itunes but

01:02:17 ◼   ► you couldn't reach either it thought it

01:02:20 ◼   ► was it like a dead other somebody else's

01:02:22 ◼   ► phone so you have to do a full restore

01:02:24 ◼   ► so God God save you you better have a

01:02:27 ◼   ► full backup of that with your passwords

01:02:29 ◼   ► or you're gonna be you're gonna lose

01:02:30 ◼   ► half a day every time that happens so I

01:02:34 ◼   ► mean that that's an example though of

01:02:35 ◼   ► that that's up there will be a piece of

01:02:37 ◼   ► you I what I'm trying to say though is

01:02:38 ◼   ► like in the past in itunes as flawed and

01:02:40 ◼   ► goofy as itunes is at least I always had

01:02:42 ◼   ► a sense that there's a folder somewhere

01:02:44 ◼   ► we're all my mp3 is live and let me be

01:02:46 ◼   ► clear i love itunes match I have become

01:02:48 ◼   ► a big fan of itunes match in a lot of

01:02:50 ◼   ► ways but we're losing our sense of place

01:02:52 ◼   ► with Apple devices and that's what's

01:02:54 ◼   ► that's one thing starting to frustrate

01:02:55 ◼   ► me

01:02:55 ◼   ► we're getting a collision of the

01:02:58 ◼   ► embarrassment of riches of all the great

01:03:00 ◼   ► stuff we can have my gosh you're kidding

01:03:01 ◼   ► me i throw in some hundred 28k version

01:03:04 ◼   ► of the song and now it's just everywhere

01:03:06 ◼   ► like how is that allowed to happen

01:03:08 ◼   ► that's amazing but if I pull down if

01:03:11 ◼   ► that rich guy goes or gal goes and pulls

01:03:12 ◼   ► down everything loneliest monk record

01:03:14 ◼   ► 256k get whatever those are big files

01:03:19 ◼   ► right they bottle that music where's

01:03:21 ◼   ► that music live well obviously just go

01:03:23 ◼   ► to iTunes so you can delete and

01:03:24 ◼   ► redownload it is that's super obvious to

01:03:26 ◼   ► most people do you think i don't know i

01:03:29 ◼   ► don't know that it is and i still think

01:03:31 ◼   ► i think that the roots of iOS being

01:03:34 ◼   ► without any iCloud we're just being

01:03:36 ◼   ► something that syncs to your Mac that it

01:03:39 ◼   ► still is not shaking those roots

01:03:41 ◼   ► I don't think it's as clear that that

01:03:43 ◼   ► the stuff economically lives in our did

01:03:47 ◼   ► you know to put it is certainly not

01:03:48 ◼   ► because in the cloud

01:03:50 ◼   ► they're certainly not one correct way to

01:03:51 ◼   ► do it anymore either in theory or

01:03:53 ◼   ► practice um I mean the iCloud sinking is

01:03:56 ◼   ► great arm again now I mean there's all

01:03:59 ◼   ► kinds of things world that the trust is

01:04:01 ◼   ► not there for me I still don't

01:04:02 ◼   ► understand why I can't enter this one

01:04:05 ◼   ► email address in 3c I messages in this

01:04:07 ◼   ► one place it's in use under the device

01:04:09 ◼   ► ok what devices that we're like I don't

01:04:14 ◼   ► know how to fix that and I went to

01:04:15 ◼   ► college and stuff like I think there's a

01:04:17 ◼   ► lot of stuff that's pretty confusing but

01:04:18 ◼   ► this the collision that I think is

01:04:20 ◼   ► interesting from a John Gruber

01:04:21 ◼   ► standpoint is that it is so great that

01:04:23 ◼   ► we've got all this stuff the fact that I

01:04:25 ◼   ► cloud works at all

01:04:26 ◼   ► is amazing and the fact you know I like

01:04:28 ◼   ► Dropbox in some ways which is better

01:04:31 ◼   ► it is amazing that that works but now

01:04:34 ◼   ► you've got this collision of oh my gosh

01:04:35 ◼   ► abbreviations on iOS are great but if

01:04:38 ◼   ► they don't sink I've got to go reenter

01:04:40 ◼   ► those I mean yeah why don't they sink

01:04:42 ◼   ► where they supposedly is it a bug or I

01:04:44 ◼   ► don't get that I don't know it'sit's for

01:04:47 ◼   ► now though it certainly doesn't make me

01:04:48 ◼   ► worry about the future of text expander

01:04:50 ◼   ► that's for sure

01:04:51 ◼   ► at least in my head like but but here's

01:04:53 ◼   ► the problem with that okay so that's

01:04:54 ◼   ► frustrating i understand apples great

01:04:56 ◼   ► about rolling stuff up when wrong stuff

01:04:58 ◼   ► out when it's ready so I get that you

01:05:00 ◼   ► don't overwhelm people with all these

01:05:01 ◼   ► different things but first of all it

01:05:04 ◼   ► feels real hockey

01:05:05 ◼   ► I'm glad it's there but it's tacky i

01:05:07 ◼   ► would have to manually keep this updated

01:05:08 ◼   ► all over the place but look at every app

01:05:10 ◼   ► I use instant cast nebulous notes

01:05:14 ◼   ► nebulous macros I can export and import

01:05:16 ◼   ► through dropbox to anywhere I can spit

01:05:20 ◼   ► out my instant cast as opml and move it

01:05:22 ◼   ► anywhere right and and this is this is

01:05:24 ◼   ► where I get my tinfoil hat on is the

01:05:26 ◼   ► that collision of the power of what this

01:05:30 ◼   ► can do the large you know the ability to

01:05:32 ◼   ► have these high quality files you know

01:05:34 ◼   ► the 720p videos add up

01:05:37 ◼   ► you know what I mean all that stuff then

01:05:39 ◼   ► colliding with ok now how do I handle

01:05:41 ◼   ► having all these notifications

01:05:44 ◼   ► that's a lot of bits to flip on a screen

01:05:46 ◼   ► that sighs you know I mean like it's an

01:05:49 ◼   ► interesting inflection point for Apple

01:05:50 ◼   ► because as they try and make this more

01:05:51 ◼   ► simple as they do add the sandboxing as

01:05:54 ◼   ► they try and bring in this fatter middle

01:05:55 ◼   ► part of the adoption curve i think these

01:05:57 ◼   ► collisions are going to get interesting

01:05:58 ◼   ► to watch and I'm sure they will in the

01:06:00 ◼   ► meantime fix them even as new collisions

01:06:02 ◼   ► come up but did you see that as a

01:06:04 ◼   ► tension at all dude i'm afraid i don't

01:06:07 ◼   ► know if i'm posting this question right

01:06:09 ◼   ► now I'm not sure you are there you've

01:06:11 ◼   ► got a lot of great stuff out there

01:06:12 ◼   ► they're trying to make it simple but

01:06:14 ◼   ► they're trying to potentially introduce

01:06:16 ◼   ► simplicity into something that is native

01:06:18 ◼   ► complexity

01:06:19 ◼   ► yeah very where my music natives and how

01:06:21 ◼   ► I not get this notification or even

01:06:23 ◼   ► where your preferences live like in the

01:06:26 ◼   ► old days it used to be real simple

01:06:27 ◼   ► reason your preferences folder in Iowa

01:06:30 ◼   ► you would well on the mac not on is

01:06:32 ◼   ► because you never had access to the

01:06:33 ◼   ► folders we're not even an iOS though I

01:06:35 ◼   ► mean why increasingly I'm seeing

01:06:38 ◼   ► preferences inside of that

01:06:39 ◼   ► but there's still tons of times right by

01:06:41 ◼   ► a nap and I buy a lot of apps and i'll

01:06:43 ◼   ► open up and I'll go hm i can change some

01:06:46 ◼   ► things in here but it feels like i can

01:06:47 ◼   ► probably change more so what do i do i

01:06:49 ◼   ► click the home button i go to settings

01:06:51 ◼   ► and then I go discover that there's an

01:06:54 ◼   ► area in there where I can change more

01:06:55 ◼   ► and sometimes that is one more for the

01:06:58 ◼   ► call it a radio button but one flip

01:07:00 ◼   ► checkbox that will be reset cash it

01:07:03 ◼   ► might just be that it might be huh

01:07:05 ◼   ► or it might be something like good

01:07:06 ◼   ► reader where you're like oh my god

01:07:08 ◼   ► there's like 16 pages of preferences in

01:07:09 ◼   ► here right and I don't feel like there's

01:07:11 ◼   ► any kind of standard for is their

01:07:12 ◼   ► standard for wear that stuff should go

01:07:14 ◼   ► and no not really

01:07:17 ◼   ► they used to say that used to be the big

01:07:20 ◼   ► that the the guideline was that all

01:07:22 ◼   ► settings go into settings app and that

01:07:24 ◼   ► app shouldn't have settings and that's

01:07:26 ◼   ► why did they might even still be in the

01:07:28 ◼   ► head but nobody nobody crosses dead

01:07:31 ◼   ► because there's too many settings that

01:07:33 ◼   ► are to you don't want to you know like

01:07:35 ◼   ► in in tweet bot on a per account basis

01:07:41 ◼   ► you can set up a read it later service

01:07:43 ◼   ► like Instapaper or pin board or image

01:07:47 ◼   ► posting or yes shortening or meeting you

01:07:51 ◼   ► can write I think you can mute hashtags

01:07:54 ◼   ► and people on one account and not on

01:07:56 ◼   ► another right and it would be

01:07:57 ◼   ► infuriating if you had to go to the

01:07:59 ◼   ► Settings up to do that you know it

01:08:02 ◼   ► belongs in the app but my point though

01:08:04 ◼   ► is more like in the old days if you want

01:08:07 ◼   ► if you had two machines and to max and

01:08:10 ◼   ► you want the exact same bbedit set up in

01:08:13 ◼   ► both you knew what to do go to the one

01:08:15 ◼   ► that set up the way you want to take the

01:08:18 ◼   ► Preferences copying over to the other

01:08:19 ◼   ► one put them in the Preferences folder

01:08:21 ◼   ► and then boom you've got them now they

01:08:23 ◼   ► wouldn't it wouldn't stay in sync but

01:08:24 ◼   ► you could at least you knew that it

01:08:26 ◼   ► wouldn't stay in sync right you know and

01:08:28 ◼   ► you could start with a known good

01:08:30 ◼   ► preferences file put it over on the

01:08:32 ◼   ► other one and then you'd have those

01:08:33 ◼   ► preferences you can't there's no way to

01:08:35 ◼   ► do that in iOS like if you've got this

01:08:37 ◼   ► you know you've got all these cool

01:08:40 ◼   ► abbreviation set up on one device and

01:08:42 ◼   ► now you've got this other device and you

01:08:43 ◼   ► want those abbreviations will have to

01:08:45 ◼   ► you you've got to sit there and type

01:08:46 ◼   ► them all out by hand right

01:08:49 ◼   ► yeah I hmm i don't know there's there's

01:08:54 ◼   ► I guess the the tinfoil hat part for me

01:08:57 ◼   ► is that the house a lack of vision

01:09:01 ◼   ► because there's certainly a lot of

01:09:03 ◼   ► vision happening but there's certainly a

01:09:05 ◼   ► lot of ambition going on with all of

01:09:07 ◼   ► these things but it's a weird universe

01:09:09 ◼   ► where is a strange universe to me wear

01:09:13 ◼   ► something like the hacky abbreviation

01:09:16 ◼   ► stuff sets sits alongside the ability to

01:09:18 ◼   ► restore and ipad um and where I don't

01:09:25 ◼   ► know I just feel like I don't have this

01:09:26 ◼   ► total level of confidence like you just
