[TS]
00:03:11
◼
►
of the staff blog more or less and

certainly got rid of the branding for
[TS]
00:03:13
◼

all the URL still work or they redirect
[TS]
00:03:15
◼
►
or whatever but and yeah they're set up
[TS]
00:03:17
◼

interview was from July first 2009 your

00:03:21
◼
►
main machine is a 2 x 2.8 gigahertz mac
[TS]
00:03:23
◼
►
pro can you guess what it is now same
[TS]
00:03:26
◼
►
thing same damn with eight gigs of ram
[TS]
00:03:31
◼
►
dual optical drives an nvidia geforce
[TS]
00:03:33
◼
►
8800 GT video card and 3.5 terabytes of
[TS]
00:03:39
◼
►
disk space spread over four internal
[TS]
00:03:40
◼
►
drives yeah well the specs have gone up
[TS]
00:03:44
◼
►
i got my ram more hard to suez via same
[TS]
00:03:45
◼
►
machine save gigs yeah for you almost
[TS]
00:03:50
◼
►
four years got 34 years ago all right ah
[TS]
00:03:54
◼
►
some follow-up before this is gonna be a
[TS]
00:03:56
◼
►
grab bag show so I've got follow-up and
[TS]
00:03:58
◼
►
then I've got a bunch of little many
[TS]
00:03:59
◼
►
things that could have been follow-up
[TS]
00:04:00
◼
►
except they're not but they're similar
[TS]
00:04:02
◼
►
sized alright so the first bit of fault
[TS]
00:04:05
◼
►
is from David Meyers uh letting us never
[TS]
00:04:09
◼
►
let the oh so important debate about
[TS]
00:04:12
◼
►
taping in and taping out died the
[TS]
00:04:15
◼
►
continues to live through David ah way
[TS]
00:04:19
◼
►
back when I mentioned taping up versus
[TS]
00:04:21
◼
►
taping and I said taping you know what
[TS]
00:04:23
◼
►
taping out where does that term come
[TS]
00:04:24
◼
►
from I always imagined it came for
[TS]
00:04:25
◼
►
something having to do with
[TS]
00:04:26
◼
►
actual tape laying down traces four
[TS]
00:04:29
◼
►
circuits and stuff back in the olden
[TS]
00:04:30
◼
►
days and then some people rode in said
[TS]
00:04:32
◼
►
actually it's about the magnetic tape
[TS]
00:04:34
◼
►
that you send to the fab that has the
[TS]
00:04:36
◼
►
information on it and it's in this old
[TS]
00:04:37
◼
►
creaky format or whatever well david
[TS]
00:04:38
◼
►
says that he suggested this theory to a
[TS]
00:04:41
◼
►
colleague who's been designing
[TS]
00:04:42
◼
►
electronics since the 70s and he says
[TS]
00:04:44
◼
►
after he stopped laughing he assured me
[TS]
00:04:45
◼
►
that your original theory was definitely
[TS]
00:04:48
◼
►
correct that is my original theory about
[TS]
00:04:49
◼
►
laying down tape is back in the day
[TS]
00:04:51
◼
►
before computers are widely available
[TS]
00:04:52
◼
►
all artwork for printed circuit boards
[TS]
00:04:54
◼
►
were created manually and the process
[TS]
00:04:56
◼
►
was called taping out because reels of
[TS]
00:04:57
◼
►
tape were used to create the tracks on
[TS]
00:04:59
◼
►
the artwork the artwork for the chips
[TS]
00:05:01
◼
►
were originally created the same way
[TS]
00:05:02
◼
►
many times larger than the actual chip
[TS]
00:05:04
◼
►
they were then photographically reduced
[TS]
00:05:06
◼
►
to create the final artwork for the chip
[TS]
00:05:07
◼
►
the entire process was optical with no
[TS]
00:05:09
◼
►
electronic data being generated so no
[TS]
00:05:11
◼
►
name for magnetic tapes Isis more
[TS]
00:05:14
◼
►
Stephanie's at the end it may well be
[TS]
00:05:15
◼
►
that the etymology of the phrase has
[TS]
00:05:17
◼
►
been lost as different generations have
[TS]
00:05:18
◼
►
changed its definition or repurposed the
[TS]
00:05:20
◼
►
phrase to match the technology changes
[TS]
00:05:22
◼
►
to the process ah so I'm glad my old
[TS]
00:05:26
◼
►
man's imagination about laying out
[TS]
00:05:28
◼
►
traces tape and then uh optically
[TS]
00:05:30
◼
►
shrinking them was not entirely off base
[TS]
00:05:32
◼
►
thank you David the next one is from Ben
[TS]
00:05:37
◼
►
Gomer it's in reference to a topic we
[TS]
00:05:40
◼
►
discussed on the Q&A show last time
[TS]
00:05:43
◼
►
somebody asked I figured what the
[TS]
00:05:45
◼
►
question it was like what changes would
[TS]
00:05:47
◼
►
you make to OS 10 or something like that
[TS]
00:05:49
◼
►
like if you were in charge what what
[TS]
00:05:51
◼
►
change did you make for us and one of
[TS]
00:05:53
◼
►
the things I talked about was bringing
[TS]
00:05:55
◼
►
yet more of the features that currently
[TS]
00:05:58
◼
►
only exist in you know mainframes and
[TS]
00:06:00
◼
►
other big kind of computers our
[TS]
00:06:01
◼
►
resiliency to failure and the ability to
[TS]
00:06:03
◼
►
upgrade and replace things without any
[TS]
00:06:06
◼
►
down time which would surely it's not
[TS]
00:06:09
◼
►
just a hardware feature would surely
[TS]
00:06:10
◼
►
need some sort of operating system
[TS]
00:06:11
◼
►
support ah so this paper is right up
[TS]
00:06:14
◼
►
that alley uh it is a paper it's in Jeff
[TS]
00:06:18
◼
►
fosters home directory so I don't know
[TS]
00:06:20
◼
►
he's the last author listed on the paper
[TS]
00:06:22
◼
►
do we have any people in the chat room
[TS]
00:06:23
◼
►
you know if the last author is the
[TS]
00:06:25
◼
►
important one papers or is it the first
[TS]
00:06:26
◼
►
author see how would think the first
[TS]
00:06:27
◼
►
right yeah but something like Tom a
[TS]
00:06:30
◼
►
building you wanna be you and be listed
[TS]
00:06:31
◼
►
first yeah wait for the chat room could
[TS]
00:06:33
◼
►
tell me there's surely some academics
[TS]
00:06:35
◼
►
lurking in there but anyway the paper
[TS]
00:06:37
◼
►
was in his home directories probably in
[TS]
00:06:38
◼
►

►
this he says the first author writes the

Park anyway that title the paper is
[TS]
00:07:15
◼
►
kitsune I'm assuming a pronouncing a
[TS]
00:07:17
◼
►
ride ki TSU any that looks right could
[TS]
00:07:20
◼
►
soon a colon efficient general-purpose

►
dynamic software updating for C and it
[TS]
00:07:24
◼
►
was presented at the oopsla conference
[TS]
00:07:26
◼
►
which is a great name ooops la
[TS]
00:07:29
◼
►
object-oriented programming systems
[TS]
00:07:30
◼
►
language and applications which is an
[TS]
00:07:33
◼
►
annual conference put on by the ACM ACM
[TS]
00:07:35
◼
►
is association for computing machinery
[TS]
00:07:37
◼
►
and the here's the the abstract for well
[TS]
00:07:43
◼
►
more or less the abstract paper dynamic
[TS]
00:07:46
◼
►
software updating abbreviated as DSU
[TS]
00:07:48
◼
►
systems allow programs to be updated
[TS]
00:07:50
◼
►
while running thereby permitting
[TS]
00:07:52
◼
►
developers to add features and fix bugs
[TS]
00:07:54
◼
►
without downtime so basically you know
[TS]
00:07:57
◼
►
say you want to upgrade some application
[TS]
00:07:58
◼
►
you have currently it's like will take
[TS]
00:08:01
◼
►
your old version move to the trash and
[TS]
00:08:02
◼
►
then give you a new version usually will
[TS]
00:08:04
◼
►
make you quit the app to it technically
[TS]
00:08:07
◼
►
on Mac OS 10 you can throw the app in
[TS]
00:08:09
◼
►
the trash and actually fully delete it
[TS]
00:08:10
◼
►
usually if you know if you know how to
[TS]
00:08:12
◼
►
do so and put a new version in place but
[TS]
00:08:14
◼
►
you're still running the old version and
[TS]
00:08:15
◼
►
possibly the old version will be very
[TS]
00:08:16
◼
►
cranky when it goes to try to read a
[TS]
00:08:18
◼
►
file from its bundle since you've
[TS]
00:08:19
◼
►
deleted it and all sorts of bad things
[TS]
00:08:20
◼
►
can happen so in general when you
[TS]
00:08:22
◼
►
upgrade an application I'm Mac OS 10 or
[TS]
00:08:24
◼
►
any you know regular PC operating system
[TS]
00:08:26
◼
►
you have to get rid of it ah and then
[TS]
00:08:29
◼
►
quit it and then get the new one
[TS]
00:08:31
◼
►
installed then relaunch that well this
[TS]
00:08:32
◼
►
lets you take a running program and
[TS]
00:08:34
◼
►
change it sort of in memory without
[TS]
00:08:36
◼
►
about quitting the program or anything
[TS]
00:08:39
◼
►
like that and this page this paper
[TS]
00:08:41
◼
►
introduces kitsune a new DSU system for
[TS]
00:08:44
◼
►
see whose design has three notable
[TS]
00:08:45
◼
►
features so there are many such systems
[TS]
00:08:47
◼
►
that do this type of thing where you
[TS]
00:08:48
◼
►
know altering a running program to be
[TS]
00:08:50
◼
►
different without having to X
[TS]
00:08:52
◼
►
the program maintaining up done this
[TS]
00:08:54
◼
►
particular one has these three
[TS]
00:08:55
◼
►
attributes said versus it's updating
[TS]
00:08:57
◼
►
mechanism updates the whole program not
[TS]
00:08:59

aspects of updating explicit in the

program text so you have like alter the
[TS]
00:09:13

program to let it know like here are the
[TS]
00:09:16
◼

important parts right and the programmer
[TS]
00:09:18

can write simple specifications to

traverses and transforms old version

state used by new code so if you're
[TS]
00:09:25

everything has some sort of internal in

memory state that doesn't work with the

new version of the program you can write

specifications that say okay you're

going to take this running program with

this internal memory state and replace
[TS]
00:09:35
◼

it with this new program with this
[TS]
00:09:37
◼

functionality and you have to sort of
[TS]
00:09:38
◼

translate the state to a state that
[TS]
00:09:39
◼

works with the new version of the

program and they used it as part of

paper to update five popular open source
[TS]
00:09:45
◼

single and multi started programs and
[TS]
00:09:47
◼

found that few program changes are
[TS]
00:09:49
◼

required to use kitsune and it occurs
[TS]
00:09:51
◼

essentially no performance overhead this
[TS]
00:09:53
◼

is all weird and academic and obscure
[TS]
00:09:57

but the upshot is that you can imagine

00:09:59
◼

that this technology came to Mac os10
[TS]
00:10:01
◼

it'll be possible to upgrade programs
[TS]
00:10:03
◼

and the operating system would not not
[TS]
00:10:06
◼

only about refining a reboot but without
[TS]
00:10:07
◼
►
even requiring you to quit the
[TS]
00:10:08
◼
►
application to get the new version we're
[TS]
00:10:11
◼
►
still in the age now or half the things
[TS]
00:10:12
◼
►
that I want to upgrade forced me to quit
[TS]
00:10:15
◼
►
all my browsers which makes me upset
[TS]
00:10:16
◼
►
mm-hmm it makes me less upset now that
[TS]
00:10:18
◼
►
have an SSD at work because man I never
[TS]
00:10:20
◼
►
realized how much of quitting a browser
[TS]
00:10:22
◼
►
with a million open windows and
[TS]
00:10:23
◼
►
relaunching it had to do with disk i/o
[TS]
00:10:25
◼
►
like I guess it's just reading things
[TS]
00:10:27
◼
►
from the disk cache and stuff like that
[TS]
00:10:29
◼
►
on as almost as if I wish it would just
[TS]
00:10:30
◼
►
pull from the network instead of reading
[TS]
00:10:32
◼
►
a dish cast because relaunching like
[TS]
00:10:34
◼
►
chrome with a million open windows
[TS]
00:10:35
◼
►
happens so much faster than you have an
[TS]
00:10:37
◼
►
SSD is that what you're browsing with
[TS]
00:10:39
◼
►
chrome I've Safari my primary browser
[TS]
00:10:41
◼
►
and chrome is my secondary Boozman it
[TS]
00:10:44
◼
►
used to be Safari primary firefox
[TS]
00:10:46
◼
►
secondary but chromis replaced by but
[TS]
00:10:48
◼
►
I'm running both all day for different
[TS]
00:10:50
◼
►
purposes and yeah but they both had tons
[TS]
00:10:53
◼
►
of open windows and I got a quote on my
[TS]
00:10:55
◼
►
browser is you're always worried you're
[TS]
00:10:57
◼
►
gonna lose state or and some of them
[TS]
00:10:58
◼
►
chrome was really good about maintaining
[TS]
00:10:59
◼
►
state like your history and everything
[TS]
00:11:00
◼
►
but like we did I have some form in some
[TS]
00:11:03
◼
►
windows and I can remember then it just
[TS]
00:11:04
◼
►
takes forever to quit
[TS]
00:11:05
◼
►
browser and we launched it but with an S
[TS]
00:11:07
◼
►
estate takes last time but anyway I hate
[TS]
00:11:09
◼
►
installing some program and it's like oh
[TS]
00:11:10
◼
►
by the way we're gonna make you quit
[TS]
00:11:12
◼
►
your browser's like come on like you're
[TS]
00:11:13
◼
►
not doing anything browser related what
[TS]
00:11:15
◼
►
kind of our we're messing with internet
[TS]
00:11:16
◼
►
plugins are you know isn't it I plugin
[TS]
00:11:18
◼
►
like flash I didn't like what flash
[TS]
00:11:20
◼
►
would make me quit the browser's you
[TS]
00:11:22
◼
►
know this is several levels above that
[TS]
00:11:24
◼
►
no restart don't need to quit the apps
[TS]
00:11:26
◼
►
will patch them in process who knows if
[TS]
00:11:27
◼
►
it's feasible or if it's a good idea but
[TS]
00:11:29
◼
►
like things like this happen in Maine
[TS]
00:11:30
◼
►
brings all the time and the things I was
[TS]
00:11:33
◼
►
thinking about uh it's hard to do
[TS]
00:11:34
◼
►
describe this is kind of like blue sky
[TS]
00:11:36
◼
►
you know our pie in the sky thinks I oh
[TS]
00:11:39
◼
►
sure we like everything to be magical
[TS]
00:11:41
◼
►
and wonderful but the technology exists
[TS]
00:11:42
◼
►
to do a lot of these things to you know
[TS]
00:11:45
◼
►
to be resilient against fate failures to
[TS]
00:11:47
◼
►
be able to roll your system back in time
[TS]
00:11:49
◼
►
selectively to various states you know
[TS]
00:11:52
◼
►
you can imagine if you did like an iOS
[TS]
00:11:53
◼
►
upgrade and a major things slower if it
[TS]
00:11:55
◼
►
was really easy to just slip back to the
[TS]
00:11:57
◼
►
old one without having to like you know
[TS]
00:11:59
◼
►
this would require uh yeah a filesystem
[TS]
00:12:03
◼
►
a file system they can do this type of
[TS]
00:12:05
◼
►
thing like btrfs or butter FS do we
[TS]
00:12:08
◼
►
talked about in the past of butter yes
[TS]
00:12:10
◼
►
and many other technologies to sort of
[TS]
00:12:12
◼
►
make make your system be able to be
[TS]
00:12:15
◼
►
updated on that like all the things that
[TS]
00:12:17
◼
►
humans don't like that computers need
[TS]
00:12:19
◼
►
like it's that's the human serving the
[TS]
00:12:22
◼
►
computer like all right well I would
[TS]
00:12:23
◼
►
don't like to I don't want to restart my
[TS]
00:12:24
◼
►
entire computer and quit all my programs
[TS]
00:12:26
◼
►
even if they like restore state there
[TS]
00:12:28
◼
►
try to restore state it's a pain in my
[TS]
00:12:29
◼
►
butt but the computer needs me to do it
[TS]
00:12:31
◼
►
you know and I don't want to quit this
[TS]
00:12:32
◼
►
application that I'm in the middle of
[TS]
00:12:34
◼
►
working but i do want to upgrade this
[TS]
00:12:35
◼
►
other one and the computer makes me do
[TS]
00:12:36
◼
►
it all those things that the computer
[TS]
00:12:38
◼
►
makes you do that you wouldn't otherwise
[TS]
00:12:39
◼
►
do those can all go away and should all
[TS]
00:12:42
◼
►
go away eventually so i put a link to
[TS]
00:12:46
◼
►
the actual paper to PDF in the show
[TS]
00:12:48
◼
►
notes and you can take a look at it if
[TS]
00:12:49
◼
►
you want next bit of follow-up is about
[TS]
00:12:54
◼
►
the touchy-feely geek culture misogyny
[TS]
00:12:58
◼
►
thing we talked about two shows ago one
[TS]
00:13:01
◼
►
of your most epic and most epically
[TS]
00:13:04
◼
►
received show then i got a couple extra
[TS]
00:13:07
◼
►
pieces of hate mail this week did you
[TS]
00:13:10
◼
►
really I hate this strike hate mail
[TS]
00:13:11
◼
►
stragglers are still there but yes
[TS]
00:13:13
◼
►
you're right overwhelmingly positive
[TS]
00:13:14
◼
►
feedback um this came from several
[TS]
00:13:19
◼
►
appointed to a YouTube video by someone
[TS]
00:13:21
◼
►
named Jay smooth this actual name is
[TS]
00:13:24
◼
►
John Randolph oh he's apparently a
[TS]
00:13:26
◼
►
jaysmith his DJ name he is the host of a
[TS]
00:13:30
◼
►
radio program in New York WBAI is
[TS]
00:13:32
◼
►
Underground Railroad he also does video
[TS]
00:13:35
◼
►
blogging on hip hop music calm and ill
[TS]
00:13:39
◼
►
doctrine which is YouTube video blog and
[TS]
00:13:43
◼
►
this is an older video and the title of
[TS]
00:13:47
◼
►
it is how to tell people they sound
[TS]
00:13:48
◼
►
racist and it draws at the links in the
[TS]
00:13:51
◼
►
show notes and it draws the same
[TS]
00:13:53
◼
►
distinction as we discussed last time
[TS]
00:13:54
◼
►
between what he calls the what they did
[TS]
00:13:57
◼
►
conversation and what they are
[TS]
00:13:58
◼
►
conversation and he gives this issue a
[TS]
00:14:01
◼
►
slightly more adversarial bent than I
[TS]
00:14:03
◼
►
did on the show it pointing out that
[TS]
00:14:06
◼
►
even though it feels good to slam
[TS]
00:14:08
◼
►
somebody with what they are attack
[TS]
00:14:10
◼
►
saying oh you are racist it feels good
[TS]
00:14:12
◼
►
to attack and I feels like the strongest
[TS]
00:14:14
◼
►
attack against someone who's doing
[TS]
00:14:15
◼
►
something like that yeah it's actually a
[TS]
00:14:17
◼
►
lot easier for the target of the attack
[TS]
00:14:18
◼
►
to deflect this kind of thing because
[TS]
00:14:20
◼
►
like I said you can't know what's in my
[TS]
00:14:21
◼
►
heart you know this is to talk about
[TS]
00:14:23
◼
►
like motivations and and thoughts and
[TS]
00:14:25
◼
►
feelings and it's much easier for them
[TS]
00:14:27
◼
►
to defend against you calling it what
[TS]
00:14:29
◼
►
you know doing the what they are thing
[TS]
00:14:31
◼
►
uh and it's true you can't know what's
[TS]
00:14:33
◼
►
in their heart like that's you know that
[TS]
00:14:34
◼
►
that conversation is that they do have
[TS]
00:14:36
◼
►
an upper hand there so it's a much
[TS]
00:14:38
◼
►
better idea to focus on what what they
[TS]
00:14:40
◼
►
did conversation which is something
[TS]
00:14:41
◼
►
concrete and even though it feels like
[TS]
00:14:44
◼
►
it's the wimpy air attack he's saying
[TS]
00:14:46
◼
►
don't let them off the hook by jumping
[TS]
00:14:47
◼
►
into the what they are conversation
[TS]
00:14:49
◼
►
because that's just so easy to deflect
[TS]
00:14:50
◼
►
and turn into something different if you
[TS]
00:14:51
◼
►
if you just focus you know and don't let
[TS]
00:14:53
◼
►
to move the goalposts you know you just
[TS]
00:14:55
◼
►
focus on the what they did conversation
[TS]
00:14:56
◼
►
were just concrete you can actually
[TS]
00:14:57
◼
►
discuss it's actually a stronger attack
[TS]
00:14:59
◼
►
so this is different than I was saying
[TS]
00:15:01
◼
►
you know don't go to the what they are
[TS]
00:15:03
◼
►
because that that feels like it's you
[TS]
00:15:05
◼
►
know back in them into a corner uh my
[TS]
00:15:08
◼
►
wife is here waving a wii u in my face
[TS]
00:15:10
◼
►
I've excellent she can she unpacking
[TS]
00:15:14
◼
►
this unpacking for me what if I wanted
[TS]
00:15:15
◼
►
unpack it all the popcorn that's in that
[TS]
00:15:18
◼
►
all right you're glad that I unpacked it
[TS]
00:15:21
◼
►
cuz I have a degree all right well so
[TS]
00:15:25
◼
►
I've got the wii u here but yes I can't
[TS]
00:15:26
◼
►
actually play it I'll just look at it
[TS]
00:15:29
◼
►
longingly on the desk during the blast
[TS]
00:15:31
◼
►
but so it is it is a black
[TS]
00:15:33
◼
►
not wii u deluxe deluxe digital
[TS]
00:15:37
◼
►
promotion as a sticker on an exclusive
[TS]
00:15:39
◼
►
offer yes that's you it's very nice I'm
[TS]
00:15:45
◼
►
gonna do want us would you like to stop
[TS]
00:15:47
◼
►
the show here and then you can go and
[TS]
00:15:49
◼
►
unbox it plain I can resume and we could
[TS]
00:15:51
◼
►
record sunday afternoon which is I would
[TS]
00:15:53
◼
►
not like to do alright I've got a show
[TS]
00:15:55
◼
►
to do here alright so where was I
[TS]
00:15:57
◼
►
alright so the J smooth video um so yeah
[TS]
00:16:01
◼
►
I thought that was interesting that the
[TS]
00:16:02
◼
►
same the same argument about not too
[TS]
00:16:08
◼
►
caught to you know to concentrate more
[TS]
00:16:09
◼
►
on the action rather than trying to
[TS]
00:16:11
◼
►
label the person with a totally
[TS]
00:16:13
◼
►
different angle on it also beneficial
[TS]
00:16:15
◼
►
saying like you know this is actually if
[TS]
00:16:17
◼
►
you're interested in attacking someone
[TS]
00:16:20
◼
►
for something like that don't it's to
[TS]
00:16:22
◼
►
your interest to stay away from the what
[TS]
00:16:24
◼
►
they are conversation because that one
[TS]
00:16:26
◼
►
is much harder to win its the you're on
[TS]
00:16:29
◼
►
shake your ground and there's a longer
[TS]
00:16:31
◼
►
version of this video that other people
[TS]
00:16:32
◼
►
sent me as well at TEDx Hampshire
[TS]
00:16:35
◼
►
College same guy j smooth the title of
[TS]
00:16:38
◼
►
this talk is uh how i learned to stop
[TS]
00:16:40
◼
►
worrying and love discussing race the
[TS]
00:16:42
◼
►
the other that you tube one is very
[TS]
00:16:43
◼
►
short it's like 60 seconds long or two
[TS]
00:16:45
◼
►
minutes long this one is longer kind of
[TS]
00:16:47
◼
►
TED talk length and in this one he
[TS]
00:16:51
◼
►
mentions that he gets feedback of two
[TS]
00:16:53
◼
►
main kinds about that video about how do
[TS]
00:16:55
◼
►
people tell people they race this has
[TS]
00:16:56
◼
►
been a very popular video and people
[TS]
00:16:57
◼
►
have been linking it around for a long
[TS]
00:16:58
◼
►
time the first kind of feedback he gets
[TS]
00:17:01
◼
►
is like positive support like you know
[TS]
00:17:02
◼
►
great job really like your video blah
[TS]
00:17:04
◼
►
blah ah and the second kind of feedback
[TS]
00:17:08
◼
►
he gets is reports from people who tried
[TS]
00:17:11
◼
►
the technique and it didn't really help
[TS]
00:17:13
◼
►
them so you know like I watched your
[TS]
00:17:16
◼
►
video and the next time something like
[TS]
00:17:17
◼
►
that happened to me instead of me you
[TS]
00:17:18
◼
►
know trying to have the what they are
[TS]
00:17:21
◼
►
conversation I tried to concentrate on
[TS]
00:17:22
◼
►
what they did and you know what it
[TS]
00:17:23
◼
►
didn't really help and I like this
[TS]
00:17:26
◼
►
because you know this appeals to my
[TS]
00:17:28
◼
►
sensibilities of this guy's famous for
[TS]
00:17:31
◼
►
this YouTube video and he goes and give
[TS]
00:17:34
◼

a longer version of the talk and the
[TS]
00:17:36
◼
►
first thing he does is describe what's
[TS]
00:17:38
◼
►
wrong with this talking no it doesn't
[TS]
00:17:40
◼
►
work in your life uh you should watch it
[TS]
00:17:43
◼
►
though because uh what he
[TS]
00:17:46
◼
►
as in the longer talk is he is he flips
[TS]
00:17:48
◼
►
it around he talks about how to receive
[TS]
00:17:50
◼
►
this kind of feedback about yourself
[TS]
00:17:51
◼
►
yeah and and and make a positive change
[TS]
00:17:54
◼
►
based on it had it you know how to be on
[TS]
00:17:57
◼
►
the receiving end of it and how to avoid
[TS]
00:17:59
◼
►
getting defensive explaining sort of
[TS]
00:18:01
◼
►
rather than explain why this doesn't
[TS]
00:18:03
◼
►
work is explained well here's how you
[TS]
00:18:04
◼
►
can imagine why it doesn't work because
[TS]
00:18:05
◼
►
imagine if it happened to you wouldn't
[TS]
00:18:07
◼
►
your reaction be to get defensive and
[TS]
00:18:10
◼
►
the point he makes about this is that
[TS]
00:18:12
◼
►
when you believe that you have to be
[TS]
00:18:14
◼
►
perfect in order to be good it makes you
[TS]
00:18:17
◼
►
strongly averse to accepting any kind of
[TS]
00:18:19
◼
►
criticism it kind of it turns the what
[TS]
00:18:23
◼
►
you did criticism immediately into a
[TS]
00:18:25
◼
►
what you are calmed in nations you
[TS]
00:18:27
◼
►
because as soon as you say oh you did
[TS]
00:18:28
◼
►
this thing that's bad if your definition
[TS]
00:18:30
◼
►
your head is if you ever do anything
[TS]
00:18:32
◼
►
that's racist then you are a racist then
[TS]
00:18:35
◼
►
the what you did versus what your
[TS]
00:18:36
◼
►
conversation is not really helping
[TS]
00:18:38
◼
►
because as soon as cell someone tells
[TS]
00:18:39
◼
►
you you did that thing like all but my
[TS]
00:18:41
◼
►
personal definition is that if you ever
[TS]
00:18:42
◼
►
do anything racist you me to the r-1
[TS]
00:18:44
◼
►
therefore you know uh so I thought that
[TS]
00:18:47
◼
►
was clever interesting and this J smooth
[TS]
00:18:49
◼
►
guy looks really smart and awesome and I
[TS]
00:18:50
◼
►
like him uh I also get some up some
[TS]
00:18:53
◼
►
other feedback from people was that oh
[TS]
00:18:54
◼
►
is that the the what you did versus what
[TS]
00:18:56
◼
►
you are someone some brought up it like
[TS]
00:18:58
◼
►
the idea of a murderer like how you know
[TS]
00:19:00
◼
►
it's contracting what you did versus
[TS]
00:19:02
◼
►
what you are is letting them off easy I
[TS]
00:19:03
◼
►
think j smooth how do you encounter that
[TS]
00:19:05
◼
►
but my counter would be that like it
[TS]
00:19:07
◼
►
really depends on what is your talk like
[TS]
00:19:09
◼
►
you can't do a blanket I think people
[TS]
00:19:11
◼
►
were looking for a blanket rule like
[TS]
00:19:12
◼
►
what you did versus what you are is a
[TS]
00:19:14
◼
►
universal rule for life well there's no
[TS]
00:19:15
◼
►
rules like that very few rules like that
[TS]
00:19:16
◼
►
except maybe gravity uh and and if you
[TS]
00:19:21
◼
►
have to do on a case-by-case basis so
[TS]
00:19:23
◼
►
what it comes down to is do you think
[TS]
00:19:25
◼
►
the action is redeemable ah you you
[TS]
00:19:28
◼
►
shouldn't you know to disagree you're
[TS]
00:19:30
◼
►
worried about this up doing something
[TS]
00:19:32
◼
►
versus being something debate you know
[TS]
00:19:35
◼
►
it really depends on do you think anyone
[TS]
00:19:38
◼
►
who does this there's no redemption
[TS]
00:19:40
◼
►
there's no coming back from it once you
[TS]
00:19:41
◼
►
do this you are this thing and there's
[TS]
00:19:44
◼
►
no point in trying to change your future
[TS]
00:19:45
◼
►
behavior because this label should
[TS]
00:19:49
◼
►
rightfully apply to you always and a
[TS]
00:19:50
◼
►
good example is when you call someone a
[TS]
00:19:52
◼
►
murderer it's a many people may be of
[TS]
00:19:55
◼
►
the opinion that once you can murder
[TS]
00:19:56
◼
►
somebody you are
[TS]
00:19:58
◼
►
and it's not like oh man don't don't put
[TS]
00:20:00
◼
►
labels on man don't call don't call him
[TS]
00:20:02
◼
►
a murderer because that's gonna back him
[TS]
00:20:05
◼
►
into a corner you rally just talk about
[TS]
00:20:06
◼
►
what he did like that murdering you did
[TS]
00:20:07
◼
►
was bad let's talk about that versus
[TS]
00:20:10
◼
►
calling him a murderer which but you
[TS]
00:20:12
◼
►
know and it could be used aside that
[TS]
00:20:14
◼
►
action there's no coming back from that
[TS]
00:20:16
◼
►
and then label is yours forever and
[TS]
00:20:18
◼
►
tough luck right uh I would say that
[TS]
00:20:21
◼
►
saying something sexist or racist is not
[TS]
00:20:24
◼
►
is not the same thing as being a
[TS]
00:20:25
◼
►
murderer and you can't apply this
[TS]
00:20:27
◼
►
blanket rule to in either case right so
[TS]
00:20:30
◼
►
be be careful about taking you know
[TS]
00:20:33
◼
►
guidelines or advice from anybody and
[TS]
00:20:35
◼
►
saying it this kind of that's one of the
[TS]
00:20:36
◼
►
speaking of geek culture suddenly a geek
[TS]
00:20:38
◼
►
thing like you you're some piece of
[TS]
00:20:39
◼
►
advice or guideline you're like this
[TS]
00:20:42
◼
►
must be a general principle that applies
[TS]
00:20:43
◼
►
in all conditions otherwise it's
[TS]
00:20:44
◼
►
completely invalid that's not it's not
[TS]
00:20:46
◼
►
how the world works like everything is
[TS]
00:20:48
◼
►
context dependent in its stall fuzzy and
[TS]

00:21:53
◼

expenditures and Apple as usual and also
[TS]
00:21:55
◼
►
some of the things I William cock says
[TS]
00:21:57
◼
►
Horace I just thought you should know
[TS]
00:21:58
◼
►
that Apple is indeed popping up with all
[TS]
00:22:01
◼
►
sorts of plans to move things in-house
[TS]
00:22:02
◼
►
AMD and Qualcomm both have graphics
[TS]
00:22:05
◼
►
divisions in Orlando your old down no
[TS]
00:22:07
◼
►
yeah and now Apple has its chip
[TS]
00:22:10
◼
►
specialists from intrinsic code
[TS]
00:22:12
◼
►
designers with Samsung of the a4 chip in
[TS]
00:22:13
◼
►
Orlando setting up shop for a new plant
[TS]
00:22:15
◼
►
they're recruiting heavily from their
[TS]
00:22:17
◼
►
competitors senior staff I would look
[TS]
00:22:19
◼
►
for apple to abandon power VRS the GPO
[TS]
00:22:21
◼
►
supplier in a couple of years and move
[TS]
00:22:22
◼
►
everything in-house so here's a case
[TS]
00:22:24
◼
►
where retarded before I like you know if
[TS]
00:22:27
◼
►
apple buys a company it doesn't make a
[TS]
00:22:29
◼
►
difference if they want all the people
[TS]
00:22:30
◼
►
to work in cupertino well here's Apple
[TS]
00:22:31
◼
►
setting up you know Apple employees in a
[TS]
00:22:35
◼
►
shop in Orlando which just so happens to
[TS]
00:22:37
◼
►
be next to AMD in qualcomm their
[TS]
00:22:39
◼
►
graphics divisions right and actively
[TS]
00:22:41
◼
►
you know trying to get employees who
[TS]
00:22:44
◼
►
either currently or used to work for AMD
[TS]
00:22:46
◼
►
and Qualcomm to say you guys don't have
[TS]
00:22:47
◼
►
to move you can keep your house where
[TS]
00:22:48
◼
►
you are in fact we set up a shop right
[TS]
00:22:50
◼
►
here because it if you're if Apple wants
[TS]
00:22:52
◼
►
to like you know this is basically
[TS]
00:22:53
◼
►
saying I'd example apples makes its own
[TS]
00:22:55
◼
►
asics CPU but it's still using GPU made
[TS]
00:22:59
◼
►
by somebody else what if they want to
[TS]
00:23:00
◼
►
make their own GPU but you gotta you
[TS]
00:23:01
◼
►
know hire some good mobile GPU designers
[TS]
00:23:04
◼
►
and the best way to do that is to set up
[TS]
00:23:05
◼
►
some you know an office specifically for
[TS]
00:23:09
◼
►
this purses right next to two other
[TS]
00:23:10
◼
►
offices that have to do with making
[TS]
00:23:12
◼
►
mobile GPUs and of course they bought
[TS]
00:23:14
◼
►
intrinsically a while back which is also
[TS]
00:23:15
◼
►
a mobile GPU related chip-making company
[TS]
00:23:19
◼
►
so this isn't this is pretty strong
[TS]
00:23:23
◼
►
evidence if all this is true from this
[TS]
00:23:24
◼
►
common that Apple really has its eyes on
[TS]
00:23:28
◼
►
you know not relying on other people for
[TS]
00:23:31
◼
►
hardware we're gonna make our own CPU
[TS]
00:23:33
◼
►
designs a6 we're gonna make her own GPU
[TS]
00:23:35
◼
►
ah maybe they're not gonna buy their own
[TS]
00:23:37
◼
►
fabs but like reading this and thinking
[TS]
00:23:39
◼
►
about this and then seeing how serious
[TS]
00:23:41
◼
►
they are because like this no my reason
[TS]
00:23:42
◼
►
you know as you can surely test that's
[TS]
00:23:44
◼
►
the only reason you set up an office in
[TS]
00:23:47
◼
►
Orlando that's right but there's no
[TS]
00:23:50
◼
►
there's no reason to be there trust me
[TS]
00:23:52
◼
►
unless you're an imagined here or
[TS]
00:23:53
◼
►
something then even then even then you
[TS]
00:23:56
◼

[TS]
00:24:52
◼
►
people yeah so somewhat reading this
[TS]
00:24:55
◼
►
comment and assuming is true my thought
[TS]
00:24:57
◼
►
was is there anything Apple thinks it
[TS]
00:25:00
◼
►
can't do hardware-wise like I said you
[TS]
00:25:03
◼
►
know we have our own little box that we
[TS]
00:25:05
◼
►
put apple in like you know Apple makes
[TS]
00:25:07
◼
►
computers and they buy their you know
[TS]
00:25:10
◼
►
CPUs from Intel or IBM or motorola or
[TS]
00:25:12
◼
►
whatever and that box is not the same
[TS]
00:25:15
◼
►
box that Apple puts itself in because
[TS]
00:25:17
◼
►
Apple clearly says you know what we can
[TS]
00:25:19
◼
►
make your own CPUs a hire a bunch of
[TS]
00:25:21
◼
►
people there's no reason we can't do
[TS]
00:25:23
◼
►
this we go we'll get an armed license we
[TS]
00:25:25
◼
►
won't we won't just take someone else's
[TS]
00:25:26
◼
►
cores and put them together we're gonna
[TS]
00:25:27
◼
►
make her own CPU called ba6 right so
[TS]
00:25:30
◼
►
that was a box that other people had
[TS]
00:25:32
◼
►
apple in it but they you know said no we
[TS]
00:25:34
◼
►
don't we don't recognize that boundary
[TS]
00:25:36
◼
►
and now I'm thinking like is there
[TS]
00:25:38
◼
►
anything anything related to hardware at
[TS]
00:25:40
◼
►
all that Apple thinks well we can you
[TS]
00:25:42
◼
►
know make your own cases and maybe make
[TS]
00:25:44
◼
►
Iran CPUs but we can't do X is there
[TS]
00:25:46
◼
►
anything like that I think they can't do
[TS]
00:25:48
◼
►
can it do they think they can make their
[TS]
00:25:49
◼
►
own hard drives their own SSDs their own
[TS]
00:25:52
◼
►
screens there you know sure it's I think
[TS]
00:25:56
◼
►
everything is up for grabs now and it's
[TS]
00:25:58
◼
►
tempting to think of things with the pc
[TS]
00:26:00
◼
►
mindset especially people of our age of
[TS]
00:26:01
◼

like certain things you do as the maker
[TS]
00:26:04

it comes to hardware to say ah the only
[TS]
00:26:14
◼
►
reason we would ever let a part supply
[TS]
00:26:16
◼
►
or do this is if the margins are really
[TS]
00:26:18
◼
►
low and it's not strategically important
[TS]
00:26:20
◼
►
for us to do it right the reason would
[TS]
00:26:22
◼
►
never be oh we don't know how to do that
[TS]
00:26:24
◼
►
oh we can't do though you know we can't
[TS]
00:26:25
◼
►
make desktop CPUs that's not you know
[TS]
00:26:28
◼
►
we're not in tell if Apple decides it is
[TS]
00:26:31
◼
►
strategically important for them to do
[TS]
00:26:32
◼
►
that they're not going to let that you
[TS]
00:26:35
◼
►
know old world definition of what Apple
[TS]
00:26:36
◼
►
does stop them and lay
[TS]
00:26:38
◼
►
other things stop them like economics
[TS]
00:26:40
◼
►
and feasibility and all sorts of other
[TS]
00:26:41
◼
►
things but clearly in this case their
[TS]
00:26:44
◼
►
eyes seemed set on making not only the
[TS]
00:26:47
◼
►
CPU part but also the GPU part and
[TS]
00:26:50
◼
►
that's very interesting um now but I was
[TS]
00:26:53
◼
►
careful to add hardware wise as a
[TS]
00:26:55
◼
►
qualifier to that statement is there
[TS]
00:26:57
◼
►
anything Apple thinks it can't do
[TS]
00:26:58
◼
►
because clearly there's plenty that
[TS]
00:27:00
◼
►
Apple can't do cloud service wise which
[TS]
00:27:03
◼
►
is sad a little sad smiley face my notes
[TS]
00:27:05
◼
►
likes that uh but maybe maybe this
[TS]
00:27:09
◼
►
Hardware machismo can be funneled into
[TS]
00:27:11
◼
►
apple finally taking the reins on its
[TS]
00:27:14
◼
►
service operations and you know building
[TS]
00:27:15
◼
►
its own server hardware since of course
[TS]
00:27:18
◼
►
it doesn't it doesn't make exurbs
[TS]
00:27:19
◼
►
anymore never really use them that much
[TS]
00:27:20
◼
►
and it's a server side stuff anyway so
[TS]
00:27:22
◼
►
maybe if Apple becomes like you know we
[TS]
00:27:25
◼
►
can do anything we can we'll make our
[TS]
00:27:27
◼
►
own Ram will make her own CPUs we make
[TS]
00:27:29
◼
►
our own but you know nothing we can't do
[TS]
00:27:30
◼
►
with hardware hopefully then was like
[TS]
00:27:32
◼
►
you know what we keep buying these uh
[TS]
00:27:34
◼
►
you know rackmount servers from Dell or
[TS]
00:27:37
◼
►
whoever the heck they're buying them
[TS]
00:27:39
◼
►
from these days why don't we make our
[TS]
00:27:40
◼
►
own ones of those and maybe parlay that
[TS]
00:27:43
◼
►
into saying we can make our own server
[TS]
00:27:44
◼
►
side infrastructure you know we can have
[TS]
00:27:46
◼
►
the our own equivalent of bc2 and gfs
[TS]
00:27:51
◼
►
and and a big table spanner and
[TS]
00:27:55
◼
►
MapReduce and all that stuff like why
[TS]
00:27:56
◼
►
can't we do that too uh basically this
[TS]
00:27:58
◼
►
this is my this gets back another
[TS]
00:28:00
◼
►
question last show you know what would
[TS]
00:28:02
◼
►
you do if you were in charge of Apple my
[TS]
00:28:03
◼
►
small one was new file system that big
[TS]
00:28:05
◼
►
one was get their server side stuffing
[TS]
00:28:08
◼
►
gear ah but the idea is giving apple
[TS]
00:28:11
◼
►
level attention to products that will
[TS]
00:28:14
◼
►
never be in the hands of users because
[TS]
00:28:16
◼
►
apples like all the whole company's
[TS]
00:28:17
◼
►
focus on making it so that when you go
[TS]
00:28:18
◼
►
into the store and you buy this you know
[TS]
00:28:20
◼
►
iPad Mini or whatever it's just an
[TS]
00:28:21
◼
►
amazing beautiful thing that's what they
[TS]
00:28:23
◼
►
care about you get that thing in your
[TS]
00:28:25
◼
►
hand how does it work how does it feel
[TS]
00:28:26
◼
►
has everything you know and then it
[TS]
00:28:28
◼
►
seems like everything else that's going
[TS]
00:28:30
◼
►
on back an apple like that their bug
[TS]
00:28:32
◼
►
tracking tool which the people who do
[TS]
00:28:34
◼
►
see to tend not to like and they're you
[TS]
00:28:36
◼
►
know how everything to internally and
[TS]
00:28:38
◼
►
what do they use for the data center and
[TS]
00:28:39
◼
►
it's like well then that doesn't matter
[TS]
00:28:41
◼
►
you don't see that when you go into an
[TS]
00:28:42
◼
►
apple store right but the turner has to
[TS]
00:28:44
◼
►
be no you have to also give that amazing
[TS]
00:28:47
◼
►
Apple attention to detail and level of
[TS]
00:28:50
◼
►
commitment to
[TS]
00:28:51
◼
►
awesome things to the things that will
[TS]
00:28:53
◼
►
never be touched by a customer and with
[TS]
00:28:56
◼
►
it physically touched because even
[TS]
00:28:58
◼
►
though customers will never be in your
[TS]
00:29:00
◼
►
data center and will never see all your
[TS]
00:29:01
◼
►
cool infrastructure and stuff that stuff
[TS]
00:29:03
◼
►
does affect the end-users increasingly
[TS]
00:29:06
◼
►
affects the end-user so even though they
[TS]
00:29:07
◼
►
don't steal that stuff when I cloud is
[TS]
00:29:09
◼
►
flaky and doesn't work right that
[TS]
00:29:11
◼
►
totally affects the other users and
[TS]
00:29:12
◼
►
that's that's the the philosophical
[TS]
00:29:14
◼
►
turnaround that Apple needs to get not
[TS]
00:29:15
◼
►
just like hey put a DQ in charge because
[TS]
00:29:17
◼
►
he makes a trains run on time and we'll
[TS]
00:29:19
◼
►
make iCloud kind of sort of do what it's
[TS]
00:29:21
◼
►
supposed to do it has to be an area of
[TS]
00:29:22
◼
►
excellence like it is with Google like
[TS]
00:29:24
◼
►
Google stakes the reputation on their
[TS]
00:29:25
◼
►
operational excellence they do amazing
[TS]
00:29:27
◼
►
things in the data center with amazing
[TS]
00:29:29
◼
►
technology like they concentrate even
[TS]
00:29:31
◼
►
though Google's customers don't touch
[TS]
00:29:32
◼
►
their server center Google's kind of
[TS]
00:29:34
◼
►
customers have no idea but all this
[TS]
00:29:35
◼
►
underlying technology but they know when
[TS]
00:29:37
◼
►
something doesn't work or it's flaky uh
[TS]
00:29:39
◼
►
so that that's the turnaround it needs
[TS]
00:29:41
◼
►
to happen there and I hope Apple's
[TS]
00:29:43
◼
►
amazing balls when it comes to what they
[TS]
00:29:46
◼
►
think they can do in Hardware some of
[TS]
00:29:48
◼
►
that transfer is over like maybe it
[TS]
00:29:49
◼
►
sneaks in the back door like just the
[TS]
00:29:51
◼
►
harbor guys going we're so awesome make
[TS]
00:29:53
◼
►
a hardware now why don't we just make
[TS]
00:29:54
◼
►
our own servers would be way cheaper I
[TS]
00:29:56
◼
►
can just sneak in that way making your
[TS]
00:29:58
◼
►
own service to run other people's stuff
[TS]
00:29:59
◼
►
you know running Windows Azure whatever
[TS]
00:30:02
◼
►
stuff on things that they make or
[TS]
00:30:04
◼
►
running oracle on their own servers and
[TS]
00:30:05
◼
►
maybe Oracle wouldn't ever give them
[TS]
00:30:09
◼
►
support if they tried to run another
[TS]
00:30:10
◼
►
hardware but you know I'm hoping this
[TS]
00:30:12
◼
►
will steamroll into them getting
[TS]
00:30:14
◼
►
religion about the server side but I
[TS]
00:30:16
◼
►
know what the odds of that are and this
[TS]
00:30:20
◼
►
is a follow-up QA almost done with the
[TS]
00:30:23
◼
►
follow up here okay it's a question that
[TS]
00:30:25
◼
►
was asked that didn't make it in the Q&A
[TS]
00:30:27
◼
►
show but it got sent in regular feedback
[TS]
00:30:29
◼
►
in it's all you have chosen seed that
[TS]
00:30:31
◼
►
could I was supposed to pick those
[TS]
00:30:32
◼
►
questions it was sent way after the show
[TS]
00:30:34
◼
►
was already recorded okay so you show
[TS]
00:30:36
◼
►
your chosen to receive a question and an
[TS]
00:30:38
◼
►
answer it despite the fact that you had
[TS]
00:30:40
◼
►
asked me to okay no that's cool it it'll
[TS]
00:30:43
◼
►
be fine you'll be okay all right ah me
[TS]
00:30:46
◼
►
and I asked answer questions in Fall
[TS]
00:30:48
◼
►
Ball time sometimes I just answer them
[TS]
00:30:49
◼
►
by email but I figured this one was of
[TS]
00:30:51
◼
►
enough general interest maybe I'm wrong
[TS]
00:30:53
◼
►
this is from brent Muir he says in hyper
[TS]
00:30:55
◼
►
covel 97 you mentioned that York with
[TS]
00:30:57
◼
►
work with oracle PL sequel have you been
[TS]
00:30:59
◼
►
able to find a decent Mac Oracle query
[TS]
00:31:01
◼
►
tool or he's been trying to find one for
[TS]
00:31:03
◼
►
a while but can't find long
[TS]
00:31:04
◼
►
and clunkier bloated blah blah I asked
[TS]
00:31:07
◼
►
me if I use a GUI sequel query tool and
[TS]
00:31:09
◼
►
if so which one uh-huh so what he's
[TS]
00:31:11
◼
►
asking about is Muir Island is that
[TS]
00:31:13
◼
►
where he's from Mui are I don't know
[TS]
00:31:16
◼
►
them you're our Island maybe that's a
[TS]
00:31:19
◼
►
mutant research complex so I've heard oh
[TS]
00:31:22
◼
►
really I mean that's how do I believe
[TS]
00:31:26
◼
►
you all right so this is asking about
[TS]
00:31:29
◼
►
when you have a database you need some
[TS]
00:31:32
◼
►
way to be able to type sequel queries to
[TS]
00:31:34
◼
►
it and say here run this query and show
[TS]
00:31:36
◼
►
me what the results are and there are
[TS]
00:31:38
◼
►
lots of different tools to do that he's
[TS]
00:31:39
◼
►
asking about a GUI tool we're gonna have
[TS]
00:31:41
◼
►
some little window where you type your
[TS]
00:31:42
◼
►
single query then you press a little
[TS]
00:31:43
◼
►
button and then you see the results in
[TS]
00:31:45
◼
►
some sort of like gooey table view or
[TS]
00:31:46
◼
►
something like that and I think the main
[TS]
00:31:49
◼
►
reason he's asking about this is because
[TS]
00:31:51
◼
►
Oracle comes with and has come with many
[TS]
00:31:53
◼
►
years a tool called sequel + SQL p lus
[TS]
00:31:56
◼
►
spelled out that way that is a command
[TS]
00:31:59
◼
►
line tool you run sequel + and you get a
[TS]
00:32:02
◼
►
little prompt than you type to query and
[TS]
00:32:04
◼
►
then return it runs your query and shows
[TS]
00:32:05
◼
►
you the results anybody who's ever used
[TS]
00:32:08
◼
►
a my sequel postgres or any you know
[TS]
00:32:11
◼
►
open source database is familiar with
[TS]
00:32:13
◼
►
this type of tool because they all come
[TS]
00:32:14
◼
►
with the tool that you it's usually
[TS]
00:32:15
◼
►
named after the database you type the my
[TS]
00:32:17
◼
►
sequel command and you've got you can
[TS]
00:32:20
◼
►
get a prompt and then type sequel
[TS]
00:32:21
◼
►
queries and sure the postgres one is
[TS]
00:32:23
◼
►
called psql without the G which I find
[TS]
00:32:25
◼
►
frustrating uh and we're used to that
[TS]
00:32:28
◼
►
type of thing now if you haven't used
[TS]
00:32:29
◼
►
Oracle what you may not understand about
[TS]
00:32:32
◼
►
SQL pluses a that it's really really
[TS]
00:32:34
◼
►
really old and be that it's like
[TS]
00:32:38
◼
►
seemingly never been updated to be
[TS]
00:32:40
◼
►
better and what do I mean by better well
[TS]
00:32:43
◼
►
this is a command line tool that has no
[TS]
00:32:45
◼
►
red line support nerds know what that
[TS]
00:32:48
◼
►
means but what it boils down to people
[TS]
00:32:49
◼
►
who don't know is that red line is the
[TS]
00:32:51
◼
►
library lets you do stuff like hit the
[TS]
00:32:53
◼
►
up arrow to get your previous command
[TS]
00:32:54
◼
►
history use the arrow keys command a to
[TS]
00:32:56
◼
►
go to the beginning committee our
[TS]
00:32:58
◼
►
commander petroleo beginning at R okay
[TS]
00:33:00
◼
►
to kill lines like line editing history
[TS]
00:33:03
◼
►
in lining then we take for granted like
[TS]
00:33:04
◼
►
who's going to make an interactive
[TS]
00:33:05
◼
►
command-line tool that does not have any
[TS]
00:33:07
◼
►
support for command history that seems
[TS]
00:33:10
◼
►
crazy and yet in in 2012 if you get the
[TS]
00:33:13
◼
►
latest version of oracle i believe we
[TS]
00:33:15
◼
►
have close to the latest one at work and
[TS]
00:33:17
◼
►
on the SQL plus thing that comes with it
[TS]
00:33:20
◼
►
and I can try to do command history at
[TS]
00:33:22
◼
►
the up arrow you'll see like uh carrot
[TS]
00:33:25
◼
►
left square bracket whatever the command
[TS]
00:33:27
◼
►
for a power like it doesn't work it
[TS]
00:33:29
◼
►
doesn't it doesn't have you know line
[TS]
00:33:31
◼
►
editing and this the defaults are crazy
[TS]
00:33:33
◼
►
like the faults made for like a a
[TS]
00:33:35
◼
►
mainframe terminal from years ago I I
[TS]
00:33:37
◼
►
don't know exactly why sequel plus is so
[TS]
00:33:39
◼
►
terrible i'm sure people will get me
[TS]
00:33:40
◼
►
feedback about the historical
[TS]
00:33:42
◼
►
terribleness of sequel plus and why they
[TS]
00:33:43
◼
►
can never ever change it because people
[TS]
00:33:45
◼
►
have sequel plus scripts that rely on
[TS]
00:33:46
◼
►
its terribleness everything about it's
[TS]
00:33:48
◼
►
terrible command-line options how you
[TS]
00:33:49
◼
►
connect the kinect strings that the way
[TS]
00:33:52
◼
►
results are displayed it is perhaps the
[TS]
00:33:55
◼
►
worst widely used command line program
[TS]
00:33:57
◼
►
in the entire world oh it's it's very
[TS]
00:34:01
◼
►
obvious that anyone who you have to use
[TS]
00:34:04
◼
►
Oracle in this day and age does not want
[TS]
00:34:07
◼
►
to use sequel plus so the desperate for
[TS]
00:34:10
◼
►
anything to use instead of sequel plus
[TS]
00:34:11
◼
►
and they're asking about GUI tools now
[TS]
00:34:13
◼
►
Oracle does make I don't know if it's
[TS]
00:34:15
◼
►
Oracle I think it's going to be Oracle's
[TS]
00:34:16
◼
►
own tool now called a sequel developer I
[TS]
00:34:19
◼
►
think it's called it's a job of thing so
[TS]
00:34:21
◼
►
right away it's pretty hideous on Mac OS
[TS]
00:34:23
◼
►
10 but it is a GUI and it as it is
[TS]
00:34:25
◼
►
actually better than sequel plus so my
[TS]
00:34:26
◼
►
answer to brent is the GUI tool i use is
[TS]
00:34:28
◼
►
Oracle's disgusting sequel developer
[TS]
00:34:31
◼
►
java thing that's what i use i don't
[TS]
00:34:33
◼
►
like it but i use it ah the the other
[TS]
00:34:37
◼
►
advice I have for doing stuff is if you
[TS]

visits gross and you can't instant super
[TS]
00:34:43

plus there is a command called RL wrap
[TS]
00:34:46
◼
►
which you may or may not know about our
[TS]
00:34:47
◼
►
L stands for read line RL wrap is a
[TS]
00:34:50
◼
►
general-purpose command that will take
[TS]
00:34:51
◼
►
some other command whose whose authors
[TS]
00:34:53
◼
►
are too too lazy or non-existent because
[TS]
00:34:58
◼
►
maybe the authors are all dead too and
[TS]
00:35:00
◼
►
read line support that's the only reason
[TS]
00:35:02
◼
►
I can think of either either your Oracle
[TS]
00:35:03
◼
►
or this program was written by people
[TS]
00:35:05
◼
►
who are now not living like how does it
[TS]
00:35:07
◼
►
has a command line program not have red
[TS]
00:35:08
◼
►
line support let's see it will wrap the
[TS]
00:35:10
◼
►
program so that you're really talking to
[TS]
00:35:12
◼
►
RL wrap and it gives you command editing
[TS]
00:35:15
◼
►
and stuff like that and then it will
[TS]
00:35:16
◼
►
pass that on to the to the underlying
[TS]
00:35:17
◼
►
program so you can use ro wrap with
[TS]
00:35:19
◼
►
sequel plus then they can alias and just
[TS]
00:35:20
◼
►
run that alias and it works surprisingly
[TS]
00:35:23
◼
►
well so I put a link to ro wrap in the
[TS]
00:35:25
◼
►
show notes it's one of those UNIX tools
[TS]
00:35:27
◼

that even a lot of UNIX nerds don't know
[TS]
00:35:28
◼

about and why would you
[TS]
00:35:29
◼
►
about it you'd know that if you ever had
[TS]
00:35:31
◼
►
to use Oracle because you were very

00:35:32
◼

quickly say there's no way in hell i'm

00:35:33
◼

using the sequel plus thing with

everyone or i got to find something and
[TS]
00:35:37
◼

you find our rap so that was the one
[TS]
00:35:39
◼
►
question i chose to entertain perhaps
[TS]
00:35:41
◼
►
too obscure oh and one final question
[TS]
00:35:43
◼
►
before we go through fault this is a
[TS]
00:35:44
◼

question that many people asked and

continue to ask and will continue to ask
[TS]
00:35:48
◼
►
this is a question for you Dan Oh

◼
►
hypercritical t-shirts everyone wants to

◼
►

[TS]
00:35:55
◼

00:35:56
◼
►
you actually anything about every
[TS]
00:35:58
◼
►
critical teacher in in this case you you
[TS]
00:36:00
◼
►
haven't do control the t-shirts uh
[TS]
00:36:02
◼
►
several t-shirt designs were put forward
[TS]
00:36:07
◼
►
going back I would say even as far as a
[TS]
00:36:09
◼
►
year ago and none of them i would say
[TS]
00:36:13
◼
►
none of them were suitable i gave you a
[TS]
00:36:17
◼
►
suggestion for a tag line and you should
[TS]
00:36:20
◼
►
put this on the shirt and and do so
[TS]
00:36:24
◼
►
you're saying now that you prove these
[TS]
00:36:26
◼
►
shirts but you you you showed me like
[TS]
00:36:29
◼
►
yes yes or no do you prove the last
[TS]
00:36:31
◼
►
shirt then that we talked about I think
[TS]
00:36:35
◼
►
that sure it's fine i'm not sure it
[TS]
00:36:37
◼
►
would be what people want but i thought
[TS]
00:36:38
◼
►
that shirt would be fine alright i also
[TS]
00:36:40
◼
►
said i believe last time we discussed
[TS]
00:36:42
◼
►
this that i'm also fine with a shirt
[TS]
00:36:43
◼
►
that just has the name of the show
[TS]
00:36:44
◼
►
that's fine with me too and i said i
[TS]
00:36:47
◼
►
think i saw i said that uh other people
[TS]
00:36:49
◼
►
may find just the name of the show more
[TS]
00:36:52
◼
►
appealing as a shirt than the thing I
[TS]
00:36:54
◼
►
suggested to be on the shirt um so in a
[TS]
00:36:57
◼
►
case I have no objections to shirts uh
[TS]
00:36:59
◼
►
but I'm also not doing anything to make
[TS]
00:37:02
◼
►
them happen okay so let's do the shirts
[TS]
00:37:03
◼
►
then we'll do them because I have
[TS]
00:37:04
◼
►
production facilities in place now for
[TS]
00:37:06
◼
►
all of this seriously i'm not i'm not
[TS]
00:37:08
◼
►
kidding we're ready to do this you want
[TS]
00:37:10
◼
►
feedback from from listeners about
[TS]
00:37:12
◼
►
whether they want a simple shirt that
[TS]
00:37:13
◼
►
just as the name of the show or a shirt
[TS]
00:37:15
◼
►
with an obnoxious text on it that i made
[TS]
00:37:18
◼
►
up uh we could do we could do both and
[TS]
00:37:22
◼
►

[TS]
00:37:28
◼
►
don't remember what the original shirt

00:37:32
◼
►
one so i said if you're gonna put a
[TS]
00:37:33
◼
►
bunch of text on it it's really it
[TS]
00:37:34
◼
►
should be this thing that I suggested
[TS]
00:37:35
◼
►
which I think no one would ever want to
[TS]
00:37:37
◼
►
wear but I think it's funny uh or just
[TS]
00:37:39
◼
►
the name of the show and that's you know

00:37:41
◼
►
generic

00:39:13
◼
►

[TS]
00:39:17
◼
►
the two shirts I I personally thought it
[TS]
00:39:21
◼
►
would be wonderful this was very quickly
[TS]
00:39:23
◼
►
vetoed by you i thought it'd be
[TS]
00:39:26
◼
►
wonderful to have a little road sign
[TS]
00:39:28
◼
►
that said sirak entering now entering
[TS]
00:39:31
◼
►
syracuse accounting be towed yeah i
[TS]
00:39:33
◼
►
would personally i would love the heck
[TS]
00:39:35
◼
►
out of that shirt I'd get five of them I
[TS]
00:39:38
◼
►
wear one every day over over my regular
[TS]
00:39:40
◼
►
shirt that's how much I like it and I'd
[TS]
00:39:43
◼
►
sleeping mm-hmm but you said no so the
[TS]
00:39:47
◼
►
choice that we have are either the name
[TS]
00:39:49
◼
►
of the shirt like I mean to the name of
[TS]
00:39:51
◼
►
the show on a shirt that just says
[TS]
00:39:53
◼
►
hypercritical would you want it to be
[TS]
00:39:55
◼
►
the same
[TS]
00:39:55
◼
►
sort of font and styling that we have
[TS]
00:39:57
◼
►
for the artwork ah or would you wanted
[TS]
00:40:00
◼
►
something different I don't know i'd
[TS]
00:40:02
◼
►
have to see options but yeah but okay
[TS]
00:40:05
◼
►
but that's the obvious way to go with
[TS]
00:40:07
◼
►
that one okay and then the other idea
[TS]
00:40:09
◼
►
that I had was your face with some text
[TS]
00:40:12
◼
►
that you had suggested which I like that
[TS]
00:40:14
◼
►
could be beneath it right you can put
[TS]
00:40:16
◼
►
the face with the one with the name of
[TS]
00:40:18
◼
►
the show to like I say the face is an
[TS]
00:40:19
◼
►
optional you can say with or without the
[TS]
00:40:20
◼
►
face either one of these two things
[TS]
00:40:22
◼
►
there are many possible permutation but
[TS]
00:40:23
◼
►
like what it comes down to is like these
[TS]
00:40:25
◼
►
are evenly spread then I can just pick
[TS]
00:40:26
◼
►
one right but if it everyone leans
[TS]
00:40:28
◼
►
towards one thing you want it like these
[TS]
00:40:30
◼
►
shirts are for the fans so I want to
[TS]
00:40:31
◼
►
give them something that they would want
[TS]
00:40:34
◼
►
right right so that's why I think they
[TS]
00:40:38
◼
►
should have input into this and Plus you
[TS]
00:40:41
◼
►
mean you want to sell a lot of shirts so
[TS]
00:40:42
◼
►

[TS]
00:40:43
◼
►
wants to buy and you will but just so
[TS]
00:40:45
◼
►
that people understand this you you will
[TS]
00:40:47
◼
►
profit from these shirts this is I
[TS]
00:40:50
◼
►
thousands of them yes I want yeah
[TS]
00:40:52
◼
►

[TS]
00:40:54

big margin and t-shirts I mean we do
[TS]
00:40:56
◼
►
make a few bucks but it's after after
[TS]
00:40:58
◼
►
production and shipping and the time
[TS]
00:41:01
◼
►
that it takes for the people to you know

[TS]
00:41:09
◼
►
will you will be a winner in the
[TS]
00:41:12
◼
►
profit-sharing game I'm assuming that's
[TS]
00:41:16
◼
►
a minimum threshold where you have to
[TS]
00:41:17
◼
►
sell certain number shirts or to be
[TS]
00:41:19
◼
►
profitable at all so well yeah but I

social network piggybacking on the

[TS]
00:47:13
◼
►
unified timeline and lots of like
[TS]
00:47:14
◼
►
clients don't have that so that's
[TS]
00:47:15
◼

keeping you away from other clients a
[TS]
00:47:16
◼
►
lot including tweet but uh but here's
[TS]
00:47:19
◼
►
the thing about twitterrific I used it
[TS]
00:47:23
◼
►
when it came out and then they came out
[TS]
00:47:25
◼
►
with a version to an aversion to was not
[TS]
00:47:27
◼
►
like version one with like stuff tweaked
[TS]
00:47:29
◼
►
it was like an entirely new program it
[TS]
00:47:32
◼
►
just happened to also be called
[TS]
00:47:34
◼
►
twitterrific there was some similarities
[TS]
00:47:35
◼
►
in like the default dark theme which was
[TS]
00:47:37
◼
►
one of their distinguishing
[TS]
00:47:38
◼
►
characteristics of having like text on a
[TS]
00:47:39
◼
►
dark background a little bit of the
[TS]
00:47:41
◼
►
colors the same and of course the icon a
[TS]
00:47:43
◼
►
little alley tweety bird which the
[TS]
00:47:46
◼
►
entire world steals from them and uses
[TS]
00:47:49
◼
►
in various ways was the same but
[TS]
00:47:51
◼
►
otherwise it's like they burn the
[TS]
00:47:53
◼
►
application to the ground and made a new
[TS]
00:47:54
◼
►
one right and that was disconcerting to
[TS]
00:47:57
◼
►
me and I'm like what but I like
[TS]
00:47:59
◼
►
twitterrific and now this is other thing
[TS]
00:48:01
◼
►
that you also call twitterrific it's a
[TS]
00:48:02
◼
►
totally different program so we're on
[TS]
00:48:05
◼
►
twitter if Rick five now and every time

[TS]
00:48:08
◼
►
back I have liked the old version better
[TS]
00:48:11
◼
►
than the new version at one way to look
[TS]
00:48:15
◼
►
at that is that twitterrific is getting
[TS]
00:48:17
◼
►
worse and worse over time but that's not
[TS]
00:48:19
◼
►
actually the case what happens is that
[TS]
00:48:21
◼
►
I'm like oh my god this new version I
[TS]
00:48:23
◼
►
can't use this I'm stickin with the old
[TS]
00:48:25
◼
►
one but by the time the new version
[TS]
00:48:28
◼
►
comes out the old version which used to
[TS]
00:48:32
◼
►
be the new version I like better than

00:49:01
◼

amazing phenomenon of uh you know Isis

00:49:06
◼
►

having an emotional attachment to the

00:49:08
◼
►
particular look and feel of the client
[TS]
00:49:10
◼
►
cuz it's not like they did radical
[TS]
00:49:11
◼
►
changes in functionality it's mostly
[TS]
00:49:12
◼
►
just look and feel and how things are
[TS]
00:49:13
◼
►
arranged and where buttons are and stuff
[TS]
00:49:15
◼
►
like that ah so I'm amazed again that it

00:49:18
◼
►
happened you know Twitter five once
[TS]
00:49:19
◼
►

[TS]
00:49:36
◼
►

►

[TS]
00:49:40
◼
►
that's just what I wanted to mention ah
[TS]
00:49:43
◼
►
now it could be like every time I was
[TS]
00:49:46
◼
►

[TS]
00:49:47
◼
►
but this time no seriously guys I really
[TS]
00:49:49
◼
►

[TS]
00:49:51
◼
►
this time I'm not gonna come around it
[TS]
00:49:53
◼
►
it's not just a matter of being used to
[TS]
00:49:54
◼
►
the old one there are actual real things
[TS]
00:49:55
◼
►
that are different about this version
[TS]
00:49:57
◼
►
that I don't like they're gonna keep me
[TS]
00:49:58
◼
►
on it of course I've thought that for
[TS]
00:50:00
◼
►
all the past version 2 and it's turned
[TS]
00:50:01
◼
►
out not to be the case ah so this time
[TS]
00:50:03
◼
►
around uh yeah got Twitter hook 5 and I
[TS]
00:50:07
◼
►
like to work for better because it looks
[TS]
00:50:08
◼
►
nice not because of the functionality
[TS]
00:50:09
◼
►
Turner 15 actually has better
[TS]
00:50:11
◼
►
functionality they finally added pulled
[TS]
00:50:12
◼
►
to refresh with a cute little animation
[TS]
00:50:14
◼
►
with that bird coming out of an egg ah
[TS]
00:50:15
◼
►
and it's it's faster and responsive it
[TS]
00:50:19
◼
►
has more features like it's just that my
[TS]
00:50:21
◼
►
tweets don't look like they used to and
[TS]
00:50:23
◼
►
for something you stare at so much like
[TS]
00:50:24
◼
►
I use Twitter a lot I'm constant looking
[TS]
00:50:26
◼
►
out on my ipod touch stuff you get
[TS]
00:50:28
◼
►
attached to the way things look like
[TS]
00:50:29
◼
►
that's not what at weeks supposed to
[TS]
00:50:30
◼
►
look like things are rearranged or in
[TS]
00:50:32
◼
►
the wrong colors and are in the wrong
[TS]
00:50:33
◼
►
fonts to the wrong size and yeah so this
[TS]
00:50:37
◼
►
is the challenge of making new software
[TS]
00:50:39
◼
►
and I applaud icon factory for across
[TS]
00:50:41
◼
►
five versions continuing to do this say
[TS]
00:50:43
◼
►
I think it called that on Twitter a
[TS]
00:50:46
◼
►
Phoenix like transformation like every
[TS]
00:50:47
◼
►
time they just burn there that their
[TS]
00:50:49
◼
►
most beloved think you know the beloved
[TS]
00:50:51
◼
►
Twitter client they burn to the ground
[TS]
00:50:52
◼
►
and make a new one and they just you
[TS]
00:50:54
◼
►
know they don't backslide and they don't
[TS]
00:50:56
◼
►
you know go back and change it so it
[TS]
00:50:58
◼
►
looks like the old one they just plow
[TS]
00:50:59
◼
►
forward it's
[TS]
00:51:00
◼
►
admirable and very interesting of course
[TS]
00:51:02
◼
►
if you've never used whatever for them
[TS]
00:51:03
◼
►
Twitter 5 can stand on its own merits
[TS]
00:51:05
◼
►
but apparently I'm sentimental about the
[TS]
00:51:09
◼
►
way software used to look was that fast
[TS]
00:51:12
◼
►
those fast is pretty fast Google Maps

◼
►

I just wanted to be sure okay yeah I
[TS]

[TS]
00:51:58
◼
►
yeah I've just put that into the into
[TS]
00:52:01
◼
►
the chat room that is the forerunner
[TS]
00:52:05
◼
►
sure in the shirt as opposed to just the
[TS]
00:52:07
◼
►
name that is the shirt that we have
[TS]
00:52:11
◼

proposed I certainly would buy one of

[TS]
00:52:16
◼
►
Oliver would you like it in the asphalt
[TS]
00:52:17
◼
►
or is there something different to you
[TS]
00:52:19
◼
►
and by the way that is is that it does
[TS]
00:52:20
◼
►
look like you as that idealized version

green color I also like great to either
[TS]
00:52:29
◼
►
one of those colleges fine so that would
[TS]
00:52:31
◼
►
the choice be that shirt or just along
[TS]
00:52:34
◼
►
with the name or just the one that shirt
[TS]
00:52:36
◼
►
or just the one with the name or how
[TS]
00:52:38
◼
►
about one with the name and your face on
[TS]
00:52:41
◼
►
also an option those are all okay those
[TS]
00:52:44
◼
►
are going to three options whatever the
[TS]
00:52:47
◼
►
people want got it check all right uh so
[TS]
00:52:53
◼
►
Google Maps yeah we've gone through some
[TS]
00:52:55
◼
►
past shows about Apple ditching google
[TS]
00:52:57
◼
►
for their mapping trying to do mapping
[TS]
00:52:58
◼
►
on their own that not workin out too
[TS]
00:53:00
◼
►
well for them due to mapping data issues
[TS]
00:53:02
◼
►
even though the Apple maps application
[TS]
00:53:04
◼
►
is actually pretty cool and then there
[TS]
00:53:05
◼
►
was the question of will Google make its
[TS]
00:53:07
◼
►
own Maps application for iOS and the
[TS]
00:53:09
◼
►
other question was will Apple allow that
[TS]
00:53:11
◼
►
to be in the store you know for
[TS]
00:53:14
◼
►
a cranky reason they might decide no you
[TS]
00:53:16
◼
►
we want you out you can't have your map
[TS]
00:53:18
◼
►
you know they make the rules owes it was
[TS]
00:53:20
◼
►
the possibility so we have the answer to
[TS]
00:53:22
◼
►
that at least Apple allows Google's map
[TS]
00:53:25
◼
►
application to be on the phone it's not
[TS]
00:53:27
◼
►
the default map application you can't
[TS]
00:53:29
◼
►
change that or anything like that but
[TS]
00:53:30
◼
►
you they did allow it to be sold on the
[TS]
00:53:32
◼
►
store and we also know the answer the
[TS]
00:53:33
◼
►
question of will Google deign to make a
[TS]
00:53:35
◼
►
map application for iOS yes they will
[TS]
00:53:38
◼
►
and here it is and we kinda had the
[TS]
00:53:41
◼
►
answers those before every school said
[TS]
00:53:42
◼
►
they were working on something and blah
[TS]
00:53:43
◼
►
blah blah but so many questions have
[TS]
00:53:45
◼
►
been answered by these distance of this
[TS]
00:53:46
◼
►
of this application and its presence on
[TS]
00:53:48
◼
►
the store although there was a fun part
[TS]
00:53:50
◼
►
in the beginning when it first came out
[TS]
00:53:52
◼
►
wherever I'm like I can't download the
[TS]
00:53:53
◼
►
store says this applications no longer
[TS]
00:53:55
◼
►
available then you could spin out
[TS]
00:53:56
◼
►
conspiracy theories about someone
[TS]
00:53:58
◼
►
accidentally approved it really apples
[TS]
00:53:59
◼
►
taking it down and they don't want them
[TS]
00:54:00
◼
►
yet but it turns out it was just just
[TS]
00:54:03
◼
►
Apple doing it's wonderful job of
[TS]
00:54:05
◼
►
server-side software services sad ah so
[TS]
00:54:13
◼
►
what does this google maps app have yeah
[TS]
00:54:14
◼
►
it has vector map tiles instead of just
[TS]
00:54:17
◼
►
bitmaps and which allows them to load
[TS]
00:54:18
◼
►
faster seen on to load these giant
[TS]
00:54:20
◼
►
bitmaps a great look really nice
[TS]
00:54:21
◼
►
remedies has turn by turn directions
[TS]
00:54:23
◼
►
which it didn't have before but which
[TS]
00:54:27
◼
►
Apple's new maps thing do have if you do
[TS]
00:54:29
◼
►
driving directions it will you know go
[TS]
00:54:31
◼
►
through the directions one turn at a
[TS]
00:54:32
◼
►
time for you instead of just showing you
[TS]
00:54:33
◼
►
the source and destination of the trail
[TS]
00:54:35
◼
►
between them one of the questions about
[TS]
00:54:38
◼
►
this is all right presumably Google was
[TS]
00:54:42
◼
►
not willing to provide these two
[TS]
00:54:44
◼
►
particular things vector map tiles and
[TS]
00:54:46
◼
►
turn-by-turn directions before when
[TS]
00:54:47
◼
►
Apple was in theory negotiating with
[TS]
00:54:50
◼
►
Google saying you know hey Google we see
[TS]
00:54:53
◼
►
on Android phones you've got
[TS]
00:54:53
◼
►
turn-by-turn directions of vector maps
[TS]
00:54:55
◼
►
we'd like to include those in our iOS
[TS]
00:54:59
◼
►
built-in Maps application that uses your
[TS]
00:55:00
◼
►
data can we get that data from you and
[TS]
00:55:03
◼
►
presumably Google was saying no and that
[TS]
00:55:06
◼
►
negotiation didn't work out I think this
[TS]
00:55:07
◼
►
is all hearsay in rumors I don't think
[TS]
00:55:09
◼
►
either company has officially revealed
[TS]
00:55:11
◼
►
the details of their negotiations but
[TS]
00:55:13
◼
►
the assumption is that Apple wanted
[TS]
00:55:14
◼
►
vector maps and turn-by-turn directions
[TS]
00:55:16
◼
►
and Apple and Google could not come to
[TS]
00:55:18
◼
►
an agreement about them Google was
[TS]
00:55:20
◼
►
saying you can have them but and Apple
[TS]
00:55:21
◼
►
would say we don't like that but and
[TS]
00:55:23
◼
►
they would go back and forth and
[TS]
00:55:24
◼
►
eventually Apple just said you know
[TS]
00:55:25
◼
►
we're going to make our own Maps thanks
[TS]
00:55:26
◼
►
but no thanks we're gonna let this
[TS]
00:55:28
◼
►
expire you're off the phone on iOS 6 and
[TS]
00:55:30
◼
►
that's what happened and so that's that
[TS]
00:55:33
◼
►
you know and then Google is at and puts
[TS]
00:55:35
◼
►
these things on the phone well if Google
[TS]
00:55:36
◼
►
was was trying to negotiate before I
[TS]
00:55:38
◼
►
saying you can't have these vector map
[TS]
00:55:39
◼
►
and turn-by-turn directions and then
[TS]
00:55:41
◼
►
they turn around and just give them to
[TS]
00:55:42
◼
►
them give them to Apple for free because
[TS]
00:55:43
◼
►
this is a free application how does that
[TS]
00:55:45
◼
►
make any sense suppose in Google's
[TS]
00:55:46
◼
►
stupid not to give in to apples demands
[TS]
00:55:48
◼
►
because then they'd still be the default
[TS]
00:55:49
◼
►
map data supplier ah but I think it's
[TS]
00:55:53
◼
►
pretty easy to explain because it's that
[TS]
00:55:55
◼
►
but part you can have vector maps
[TS]
00:55:56
◼
►
turn-by-turn directions but Google would
[TS]
00:55:58
◼
►
say we want this stuff from you and what
[TS]
00:56:01
◼
►
do they want they wanted more
[TS]
00:56:02
◼
►
information about users and so when
[TS]
00:56:04
◼
►
Google puts out its map application
[TS]
00:56:06
◼
►
they're much more willing to provide iOS
[TS]
00:56:10
◼
►
customers with vector maps and
[TS]
00:56:11
◼
►
turn-by-turn directions because they can
[TS]
00:56:13
◼
►
also get you to sign into your Google
[TS]
00:56:14
◼
►
account from the map application and
[TS]
00:56:16
◼
►
collect all of your data about what
[TS]
00:56:18
◼
►
you're searching for and where you're
[TS]
00:56:19
◼
►
going and all you're looking you know
[TS]
00:56:20
◼
►
and that's presumably all the stuff that
[TS]
00:56:23
◼
►
Apple was not willing to give to Google
[TS]
00:56:25
◼
►
when they were just the data provider
[TS]
00:56:27
◼
►
for the default Google max application
[TS]
00:56:29
◼
►
that Apple wrote uh so even though it
[TS]
00:56:32
◼
►
looks weird and strange how we arrived
[TS]
00:56:34
◼
►
at this point it actually doesn't make I
[TS]
00:56:36
◼
►
think a reasonable amount of sense given
[TS]
00:56:38
◼
►
you no plausible assumptions about what
[TS]
00:56:41
◼
►
went on in the negotiations between them
[TS]
00:56:43
◼
►
so when you launch the Google Maps app
[TS]
00:56:45
◼
►
it wants you to login with your Google
[TS]
00:56:46
◼
►
account which i did because i have no
[TS]
00:56:49
◼
►
paranoia about that i like my google
[TS]
00:56:50
◼
►
account and everything like that they've
[TS]
00:56:52
◼
►
got a little check box so you can
[TS]
00:56:53
◼
►
checked it whether you want to send
[TS]
00:56:54
◼
►
anonymous information for Google to help
[TS]
00:56:57
◼
►
them improve their services blah blah
[TS]
00:56:58
◼
►
blah the Gruber was complaining a day
[TS]
00:57:00
◼
►
about how the little check box they want
[TS]
00:57:03
◼
►
you to uncheck to say no don't send like
[TS]
00:57:05
◼
►
anonymous information to Google you can
[TS]
00:57:07
◼
►
uncheck that thing but it's tiny check
[TS]
00:57:09
◼
►
box and you know not only is it a tiny
[TS]
00:57:12
◼
►
check box but as Gruber pointed out and
[TS]
00:57:13
◼
►
things you wrote yesterday like iOS
[TS]
00:57:15
◼
►
doesn't really use check boxes they have
[TS]
00:57:16
◼
►
a slider on/off switches which way
[TS]
00:57:18
◼
►
bigger to Google's credit if you are in
[TS]
00:57:22
◼
►
a Google mindset in you soon every
[TS]
00:57:23
◼
►
single screen you see in a Google iOS
[TS]
00:57:25
◼
►
application is a webview yourself that's
[TS]
00:57:28
◼
►
a webview that I'm sure that that's a
[TS]
00:57:29
◼
►
checkbox control style.css and that
[TS]
00:57:32
◼
►
they've got that's a label tag
[TS]
00:57:33
◼
►
surrounding the giant text block and its
[TS]
00:57:35
◼
►
label and then has the for attribute
[TS]
00:57:37
◼
►
equal to the idea of the checkbox and so
[TS]
00:57:38
◼
►
if I tap anywhere in this text is gonna
[TS]
00:57:40
◼
►
uncheck the text wasn't sure enough
[TS]
00:57:41
◼
►
if you tap anywhere in that gigantic
[TS]
00:57:43
◼
►
text block it will uncheck the checkbox
[TS]
00:57:44
◼
►
I know this because I set up we will
[TS]
00:57:45
◼
►
maps on multiple iOS devices and I
[TS]
00:57:48
◼
►
couldn't hit that stupid checkbox either
[TS]
00:57:49
◼
►
and so I just went it said you know what
[TS]
00:57:51
◼
►
this is google this is probably a label
[TS]
00:57:52
◼
►
and sure enough it worked so if you're
[TS]
00:57:55
◼
►
trying to uncheck that checkbox remember
[TS]
00:57:57
◼
►
that you can tap the text area um so
[TS]
00:58:02
◼
►
yeah I tried the app it looks like
[TS]
00:58:03
◼
►
Google Maps a little bit faster a little
[TS]
00:58:04
◼
►
bit nicer vector maps are nice the
[TS]
00:58:06
◼
►
turn-by-turn directions seem to work I
[TS]
00:58:07
◼
►
haven't used it to navigate anywhere
[TS]
00:58:09
◼
►
maybe I'm going out this weekend maybe
[TS]
00:58:11
◼
►
I'll maybe I'll have a battle between
[TS]
00:58:13
◼
►
navigation services I don't only got one
[TS]
00:58:16
◼
►
iphone so maybe I can do them both at
[TS]
00:58:17
◼
►
once if you try to do apples driving
[TS]
00:58:19
◼
►
directions at the same times you do now
[TS]
00:58:20
◼
►
I when I won't pork I think it would
[TS]
00:58:22
◼
►
work because the apple one gets like
[TS]
00:58:25
◼
►
running the background stuff where it's
[TS]
00:58:26
◼
►
the google one you'd have to be in the
[TS]
00:58:27
◼
►
foreground on that app so I don't know
[TS]
00:58:29
◼
►
ah but anyway yeah it's a we live in
[TS]
00:58:34
◼
►
interesting times this is very good very
[TS]
00:58:36
◼
►
interesting too and thinking about the
[TS]
00:58:39
◼
►
mapping issue like everything I mentions
[TS]
00:58:44
◼
►
last time we talked about maps but you
[TS]
00:58:46
◼
►
know there's only one world here and
[TS]
00:58:47
◼
►
it's just it seems like such a shame to
[TS]
00:58:50
◼
►
have separate companies uh each pursuing
[TS]
00:58:54
◼
►
their own data about the one earth that
[TS]
00:58:56
◼
►
is the same for all of them all right it
[TS]
00:58:59
◼
►
wouldn't be much better if we could pool
[TS]
00:59:00
◼
►
our efforts and what I was thinking
[TS]
00:59:02
◼
►
about is how these big technology
[TS]
00:59:03
◼
►
companies frequently have patent cross
[TS]
00:59:05
◼
►
slicing agreements or other intellectual
[TS]
00:59:08
◼
►
property cross licensing agreements like
[TS]
00:59:10
◼
►
between Apple and Microsoft and Intel
[TS]
00:59:12
◼
►
and AMD and all over the place with like
[TS]
00:59:13
◼
►
you you don't sue me and I don't see you
[TS]
00:59:15
◼
►
and we can use each other's intellectual
[TS]
00:59:17
◼
►
property right a map cross-licensing
[TS]
00:59:20
◼
►
agreement this probably exists already
[TS]
00:59:21
◼
►
too but we better if we had more of
[TS]
00:59:23
◼
►
those where they say okay I can use your
[TS]
00:59:25
◼
►
map did and you can use mine and we'll
[TS]
00:59:26
◼
►
work together you know and on the
[TS]
00:59:28
◼
►
broader scale sort of worldwide
[TS]
00:59:29
◼
►
collaboration between everybody to let's
[TS]
00:59:31
◼
►
all just make the map of this one planet
[TS]
00:59:33
◼
►
better together and that's kind of what
[TS]
00:59:34
◼
►
openstreetmap is I put a link to that in
[TS]
00:59:36
◼
►
the show notes I better description is a
[TS]
00:59:39
◼
►
free worldwide map created by people
[TS]
00:59:40
◼
►
like you and at various times I don't
[TS]
00:59:43
◼
►
know if this has ever been proven or
[TS]
00:59:44
◼
►
just rumored it seemed like Apple and
[TS]
00:59:46
◼
►
Google both used OpenStreetMap data to
[TS]
00:59:48
◼
►
help make their data better and it's
[TS]
00:59:52
◼
►
good that opens bootcamp exists but
[TS]
00:59:53
◼
►
we're really need is the reverse Apple
[TS]
00:59:55
◼
►
we'll Nokia all those people giving
[TS]
00:59:57

◼
►
with the previous version of my trail
[TS]
01:06:17
◼
►
isn't and here's what i would say my top
[TS]
01:06:20
◼
►
picks for what what was wrong with
[TS]
01:06:22
◼
►
itunes 10 and earlier and then we'll see
[TS]
01:06:25
◼
►
how itunes 11 to us to address those
[TS]
01:06:27
◼
►
concerns and then people have their own
[TS]
01:06:28
◼
►
lists of what they think was wrong with
[TS]
01:06:30
◼
►
itunes they're like it lots of people
[TS]
01:06:31
◼
►
have complaints about itunes
[TS]
01:06:33
◼
►
particularly windows users but everyone
[TS]
01:06:34
◼
►
has some sort of oh I hate itunes you
[TS]
01:06:36
◼
►
hear that a lot even though everyone
[TS]
01:06:38
◼
►
hey iTunes maybe they all hated for
[TS]
01:06:39
◼
►
different reasons so here are my number
[TS]
01:06:43
◼
►
one mmm terrible performance and
[TS]
01:06:46
◼
►
reliability when it comes with dealing
[TS]
01:06:48
◼
►
on iOS devices that's sounds very
[TS]
01:06:51
◼
►
specific and pinky but i think it's like
[TS]
01:06:53
◼
►
you know it's one of the main things i
[TS]
01:06:55
◼
►
use this purpose thing for especially in
[TS]
01:06:57
◼
►
the days before wireless sync and
[TS]
01:06:59
◼
►
everything but even in the age after
[TS]
01:07:01
◼
►
it's something there are some things you
[TS]
01:07:02
◼
►
still need to connect your iOS device to
[TS]
01:07:05
◼
►
your Mac to do like if you just ripped
[TS]
01:07:07
◼
►
your own video and you want to shove it
[TS]
01:07:09
◼
►
on there I think it's still the only way
[TS]
01:07:11
◼
►
to do that is through USB cable or
[TS]
01:07:13
◼
►
wireless it would be a wireless
[TS]
01:07:14
◼
►
equipment like you have to use itunes to
[TS]
01:07:16
◼
►
do it I don't think there's any way
[TS]
01:07:17
◼
►
through i guess you can put it in your
[TS]
01:07:18
◼
►
dropbox and try to get it open and
[TS]
01:07:20
◼
►
anyway uh I still end up connecting to
[TS]
01:07:23
◼
►
itunes laden and I have lots of iOS
[TS]
01:07:25
◼
►
devices oh I find myself there a lot uh
[TS]
01:07:27
◼
►
there are even stuff like my ipod
[TS]
01:07:29
◼
►
shuffle but that's the only option if i
[TS]
01:07:31
◼
►
want to change what's on my ipod shuffle
[TS]
01:07:32
◼
►
which is where i listen to all of my
[TS]
01:07:34
◼
►
podcast for the most part i I have to
[TS]
01:07:36
◼
►
connect it sometimes I'm doing it every
[TS]
01:07:38
◼
►
day basically I'm connecting my ipod
[TS]
01:07:39
◼
►
shop will do my thing using with iTunes
[TS]
01:07:41
◼
►
so that's that's a very important
[TS]
01:07:42
◼
►
function of itunes for me is dealing
[TS]
01:07:46
◼
►
with iOS devices and everything about
[TS]
01:07:48
◼
►
that experience is terrible terrible
[TS]
01:07:49
◼
►
performance means that like doing almost
[TS]
01:07:52
◼
►
anything with my iOS devices not just my
[TS]
01:07:55
◼
►
shuffle but even the more advanced ones
[TS]
01:07:57
◼
►
like touches and iPads and stuff it it
[TS]
01:08:00
◼
►
hangs the entire UI like when it's
[TS]
01:08:02
◼
►
syncing stopping to my shuffle or like
[TS]
01:08:04
◼
►
when it's just connecting or whatever
[TS]
01:08:05
◼
►
there's nothing else you can do i get
[TS]
01:08:07
◼
►
the beach ball or if I don't get the
[TS]
01:08:08
◼
►
beach ball I can click and it doesn't
[TS]
01:08:09
◼
►
respond is hanging the whole UI so
[TS]
01:08:11
◼
►
that's that's performance ah plenty of
[TS]
01:08:14
◼
►
situations where i get a device stuck
[TS]
01:08:16
◼
►
when it's sinking like it's you know
[TS]
01:08:19
◼
►
sinking forever and not actually on you
[TS]
01:08:20
◼
►
know never completes or it sinks for
[TS]
01:08:23
◼
►
really really really really long time
[TS]
01:08:24
◼
►
and it fails at the very end and you're
[TS]
01:08:26
◼
►
like all i gotta try it again and it
[TS]
01:08:27
◼
►
sinks for a really really really long
[TS]
01:08:28
◼
►
time then fails at the end and if that's
[TS]
01:08:30
◼
►
maddening another classic one is can't
[TS]
01:08:33
◼
►
sink because the sync operation is
[TS]
01:08:35
◼
►
already in progress you're like oh now
[TS]
01:08:36
◼
►
do we need the hard reboot this iOS

◼

that's not true because you know they
[TS]
01:08:50
◼
►
are compatible
[TS]
01:08:51
◼
►
because if you get the file in there
[TS]
01:08:52
◼
►
another way Oh terrible lot but you know
[TS]
01:08:55
◼
►
lots of things that are unclear about
[TS]
01:08:58
◼
►
what will happen when you sync like you
[TS]
01:09:00
◼
►
want to know all right after if I put
[TS]
01:09:01
◼
►
this in here and I think that's what is
[TS]
01:09:03
◼
►
the outcome of this operation gonna be
[TS]
01:09:04
◼
►
and it's very unclear Oh what that's
[TS]
01:09:07
◼
►
going to be especially when it comes to
[TS]
01:09:08
◼
►
figuring out what to do about changes
[TS]
01:09:11
◼
►
you made on the device versus changes
[TS]
01:09:12
◼
►
that you made an itune have a reconciled
[TS]
01:09:14
◼
►
with each other and no matter what it
[TS]
01:09:16
◼
►
picks it's gonna be wrong in some way
[TS]
01:09:18
◼
►
like so I'm not so much something like
[TS]
01:09:19
◼
►
oh it didn't do the thing that I wanted
[TS]
01:09:20
◼
►
because yeah it's never gonna do the
[TS]
01:09:21
◼
►
thing you want the problem is there's so
[TS]
01:09:23
◼
►
many possible options but what the job
[TS]
01:09:25
◼
►
of the app is to at least show me like
[TS]
01:09:26
◼
►
even if it's gonna make decisions that I
[TS]
01:09:28
◼
►
don't agree with show me what the result
[TS]
01:09:31
◼
►
of this operation will be don't make me
[TS]
01:09:32
◼
►
surprised to go oh my god it wiped out
[TS]
01:09:34
◼
►
all these files or replace this version
[TS]
01:09:35
◼
►
with an older or a newer version or did
[TS]
01:09:37
◼
►
something else that I don't want is the
[TS]
01:09:38
◼
►
UI doesnt show me what what it's
[TS]
01:09:40
◼
►
supposed to be doing that's that that's
[TS]
01:09:41
◼
►
the second item is confusing you I and
[TS]
01:09:44
◼
►
not just for iowa's things by the entire
[TS]
01:09:45
◼
►
application I the most confusing thing
[TS]
01:09:48
◼
►
about the iTunes U I I the previous
[TS]
01:09:51
◼
►
iTunes U is a lots of small pieces of
[TS]
01:09:54
◼
►
hidden state like I don't maybe program
[TS]
01:09:56
◼
►
maybe non-programmers don't think about
[TS]
01:09:58
◼
►
programs this way but I'm thinking about
[TS]
01:10:00
◼
►
you know somewhere in memory isn't state
[TS]
01:10:04
◼
►
information that itunes has about what
[TS]
01:10:06
◼
►
it's doing and that state is really
[TS]
01:10:08
◼
►
important to the way this program works
[TS]
01:10:10
◼
►
but I can't see it because there's no
[TS]
01:10:11
◼
►
visual representation like one of the
[TS]
01:10:13
◼
►
pieces of state is oh the thing that's
[TS]
01:10:16
◼
►
currently playing the track is currently
[TS]
01:10:18
◼
►
playing what is that thing part of is it
[TS]
01:10:20
◼
►
part of a playlist is it part of you
[TS]
01:10:22
◼
►
know a filtered list is it a part of a
[TS]
01:10:24
◼
►
smart playlists a part of an album like
[TS]
01:10:25
◼
►
when I hit next or previous what will
[TS]
01:10:29
◼
►
that go to that information about where
[TS]
01:10:31
◼
►
this thing is playing itunes knows and
[TS]
01:10:34
◼
►
you can kind of figure it out by looking
[TS]
01:10:36
◼
►
at okay the little speaker icon is next
[TS]
01:10:38
◼
►
to this thing and stuff like that ah one
[TS]
01:10:41
◼
►
of the ways you can also figure it out
[TS]
01:10:42
◼
►
is if you are not you can't pause when
[TS]
01:10:46
◼
►
the currently playing when a list that
[TS]
01:10:48
◼
►
the currently playing thing is on is not
[TS]
01:10:50
◼
►
selected the the pause button change to
[TS]
01:10:52
◼
►
a stop button so if you're someplace
[TS]
01:10:54
◼
►
else in the application looking at
[TS]
01:10:56
◼
►
something else when you were playing a
[TS]
01:10:57
◼
►
song from a playlist you can't hit the
[TS]
01:11:00
◼
►
little into the little pause button as a
[TS]
01:11:02
◼
►
the square on has the stop icon on it
[TS]
01:11:04
◼
►
because
[TS]
01:11:05
◼
►
I don't know why because this is it
[TS]
01:11:06
◼
►
that's the same hole you that uses to
[TS]
01:11:09
◼
►
let you know that if you were to hit
[TS]
01:11:11
◼
►
that button now we're just gonna stop
[TS]
01:11:13
◼
►
what we were doing and do a new thing
[TS]
01:11:14
◼
►
we're not going to pause the track in
[TS]
01:11:15
◼
►
progress but when Yuri selects a your
[TS]
01:11:17
◼
►
playlist that the thing was playing them
[TS]
01:11:19
◼
►
I was like okay now if you hit it you're
[TS]
01:11:20
◼
►
just pausing in that playlist and we're
[TS]
01:11:21
◼
►
not gonna lose your place or whatever
[TS]
01:11:22
◼
►
that's terrible way to express that
[TS]
01:11:26
◼
►
state it's a terrible you I I hate it I
[TS]
01:11:28
◼
►
hate having to go back and select
[TS]
01:11:29
◼
►
something so i can find the pause button
[TS]
01:11:30
◼
►
so i can actually use the pause button
[TS]
01:11:32
◼
►
to pause the thing the status area of
[TS]
01:11:36
◼
►
itunes that little like fake LCD display
[TS]
01:11:39
◼
►
is supposed to I guess look like a
[TS]
01:11:40
◼
►
stereo component system that you know
[TS]
01:11:42
◼
►
kids these days probably don't even know
[TS]
01:11:43
◼
►
what the hell that is but I think that's
[TS]
01:11:44
◼
►
what it's supposed to look like or maybe
[TS]
01:11:46
◼
►
suppose look like a car stereo or
[TS]
01:11:47
◼
►
whatever it is uh it's not so much that
[TS]
01:11:49
◼
►
it's skeuomorphic trying to look like a
[TS]
01:11:51
◼
►
crappy low contrast LCD display although
[TS]
01:11:53
◼
►
that I think is dumb because why would
[TS]
01:11:54
◼
►
you intentionally make something low
[TS]
01:11:55
◼
►
contrast if they've changed our mind and
[TS]
01:11:57
◼
►
that a few times to like is it supposed
[TS]
01:11:59
◼
►
to hug you I'll see the years it just
[TS]
01:12:00
◼
►
grayish text or whatever but that's not
[TS]
01:12:03
◼
►
the worst part about the worst part
[TS]
01:12:04
◼
►
about it is that it's just one display
[TS]
01:12:05
◼
►
for the whole application so what even
[TS]
01:12:07
◼
►
when multiple things are happening at
[TS]
01:12:09
◼
►
the same time that display shows like
[TS]
01:12:10
◼
►
one of them or cycles between them or
[TS]
01:12:12
◼
►
lets you cycle between them like if
[TS]
01:12:14
◼
►
you're downloading podcast at the same
[TS]
01:12:15
◼
►
time you're playing a song at the same
[TS]
01:12:17
◼
►
time an iOS device is sinking and you
[TS]
01:12:19
◼
►
want to know what the progress of any of
[TS]
01:12:20
◼
►
those things are I hope the little
[TS]
01:12:21
◼
►
stupid display showing what you want if
[TS]
01:12:23
◼
►
not fight with it to try figure out you
[TS]
01:12:24
◼
►
know or change your view or click
[TS]
01:12:26
◼
►
something different the sidebar to make
[TS]
01:12:27
◼
►
that one stupid display show what you're
[TS]
01:12:28
◼
►
doing uh it's like this is a type of
[TS]
01:12:31
◼
►
thing where they sailed we're gonna do
[TS]
01:12:33
◼
►
visual simplification it's one window
[TS]
01:12:34
◼
►
with one status display but the
[TS]
01:12:35
◼
►
application isn't that simple you can't
[TS]
01:12:37
◼
►
simplify by merely changing your status
[TS]
01:12:39
◼
►
display to just be one window unless you
[TS]
01:12:41
◼
►
also change it to be that only one thing
[TS]
01:12:43
◼
►
could be happening at the time or fit
[TS]
01:12:45
◼
►
all your status in that window or
[TS]
01:12:46
◼
►
something but they don't do either one
[TS]
01:12:48
◼
►
of those things uh an iCloud just let
[TS]
01:12:52
◼
►
for all the benefits that have brought
[TS]
01:12:53
◼
►
over mold me just as even more weirdness
[TS]
01:12:56
◼
►
on top of this all i have a link in the
[TS]
01:12:58
◼
►
show notes for an arse article called
[TS]
01:13:00
◼
►
itunes through the ages that takes you
[TS]
01:13:02
◼
►
back through the history of itunes it
[TS]
01:13:03
◼
►
maybe you don't didn't live through it
[TS]
01:13:05
◼
►
so you don't know what I things used to
[TS]
01:13:06
◼
►
be like we can look at how it's changed
[TS]
01:13:07
◼
►
over this is a neat yeah we had this on
[TS]
01:13:09
◼
►
the frequency and like a week or so
[TS]
01:13:10
◼
►
going and it's it has changed if there's
[TS]
01:13:13
◼
►
some things that have not changed at all
[TS]
01:13:15
◼
►
and there's other things that have
[TS]
01:13:17
◼
►
changed so much
[TS]
01:13:19
◼
►
that it's weird because this is an
[TS]
01:13:22
◼
►
application that really has provided the
[TS]
01:13:24
◼
►
same functionality at its core but then
[TS]
01:13:26
◼
►
they've added so much other stuff on to
[TS]
01:13:29
◼
►
it and yet some things are just
[TS]
01:13:31
◼
►
uncannily the same and I call it iCloud
[TS]
01:13:34
◼
►
here at least it's like it's like the
[TS]
01:13:35
◼
►
status icon that broke the camel's back
[TS]
01:13:37
◼
►
or it's like all right itunes they kept
[TS]
01:13:38
◼
►
it anymore so you can see it in time
[TS]
01:13:40
◼
►
line they kept adding more stuff you can
[TS]
01:13:41
◼
►
do more stuff and more stuff and we have
[TS]
01:13:43
◼
►
iOS devices and we have this and we have
[TS]
01:13:45
◼
►
podcasts and we have all the stuff then
[TS]
01:13:46
◼
►
and now is like the line you know we
[TS]
01:13:49
◼
►
have a link to the store we have a link
[TS]
01:13:50
◼
►
to paying a little in a way uh like the
[TS]
01:13:53
◼
►
line items in listview just got any more
[TS]
01:13:55
◼
►
and more things and now we've got some
[TS]
01:13:57
◼
►
crazy cloud thing that can be in seven
[TS]
01:13:58
◼
►
different modes uh you know where is
[TS]
01:14:00
◼
►
this track and what happened to my
[TS]
01:14:02
◼
►
original track and and why couldn't it
[TS]
01:14:04
◼
►
be matched and what does matched mean
[TS]
01:14:05
◼
►
and like it's just too much now like
[TS]
01:14:08
◼
►
there's just too much information that
[TS]
01:14:09
◼
►
they need to convey on top of the old
[TS]
01:14:11
◼
►
interface which was just like used to be
[TS]
01:14:12
◼
►
simple you know uh when it was just like
[TS]
01:14:15
◼
►
a list of tracks and some metadata but
[TS]
01:14:17
◼
►
now there's like a million things in
[TS]
01:14:18
◼
►
there and iCloud just adds another
[TS]
01:14:21
◼
►
variable to all the other variables and
[TS]
01:14:25
◼
►
another huge set of functionalities it's
[TS]
01:14:27
◼
►
just too much and now it admittedly sink
[TS]
01:14:29
◼
►
in iCloud stuff like that these are hard
[TS]
01:14:30
◼
►
you I problems I'm saying oh it's so
[TS]
01:14:32
◼
►
easy they should obviously do something
[TS]
01:14:34
◼
►
with the obvious solution it's not
[TS]
01:14:35
◼
►
obvious how to fix all these things but
[TS]
01:14:37
◼
►
you know I n iTunes U I that was
[TS]
01:14:39
◼
►
designed in the modern era and not
[TS]
01:14:42
◼
►
designed in an age when CD ripping was
[TS]
01:14:44
◼
►
like the main activity yeah that's
[TS]
01:14:46
◼
►
application it was like wut rip urn mix
[TS]
01:14:48
◼
►
remember hey good I mean you can rip
[TS]
01:14:49
◼
►
your cds alright that was like the big
[TS]
01:14:52
◼
►
that was a big selling point and for a
[TS]
01:14:54
◼
►
CD ripper it was like it was
[TS]
01:14:56
◼
►
refreshingly simple and direct the good
[TS]
01:14:58
◼
►
way you know had a reasonably more
[TS]
01:14:59
◼
►
option you'd rip your cds to show them
[TS]
01:15:00
◼
►
up but like that's what the itunes
[TS]
01:15:03
◼
►
design is centered around and it hasn't
[TS]
01:15:05
◼
►
changed since when despite the fact that
[TS]
01:15:06
◼
►
what we do with itunes has changed
[TS]
01:15:09
◼
►
radically ah so if you're going to say
[TS]
01:15:12
◼
►
you know iTunes 11 you know a big change
[TS]
01:15:16
◼
►
from the past I would want iTunes 11 to
[TS]
01:15:18
◼
►
address these are the concerns that I
[TS]
01:15:20
◼
►
wanted to address I wanted to you know
[TS]
01:15:22
◼
►
have better performance and reliability
[TS]
01:15:24
◼
►
have less confusing user interface and
[TS]
01:15:26
◼
►
particularly be centered around like the
[TS]
01:15:28
◼
►
things we do with it now like you know I
[TS]
01:15:30
◼
►
cloud and roll i use podcasting maybe
[TS]
01:15:32
◼
►
it's an era
[TS]
01:15:33
◼
►
thing but like acknowledge what we do
[TS]
01:15:35
◼
►
now and de-emphasize the things that we
[TS]
01:15:37
◼
►
don't do as much and like and build the
[TS]
01:15:39
◼
►
UI around that don't just say okay we're
[TS]
01:15:41
◼
►
gonna hide that option but just like
[TS]
01:15:42
◼
►
rethink the UI like you if itunes didn't
[TS]
01:15:44
◼
►
exist and you had to make an application
[TS]
01:15:45
◼
►
that did these things now what would you
[TS]
01:15:48
◼
►
make it look like ah so you know I turns
[TS]
01:15:51
◼
►
11 chance for a fresh start ah but know
[TS]
01:15:54
◼
►
that we did not get a fresh start uh
[TS]
01:15:57
◼
►
which is a shame so the performance of
[TS]
01:16:00
◼
►
iTunes 11 still terrible still can sit
[TS]
01:16:03
◼
►
consistently terrible but we've
[TS]
01:16:05
◼
►
established that maybe is it worse do
[TS]
01:16:08
◼
►
you think it's worse than the previous
[TS]
01:16:09
◼
►
version mmm some people have been saying
[TS]
01:16:13
◼
►
like Oh iTunes 11 is doing stuff that
[TS]
01:16:15
◼
►
the previous version never did but you
[TS]
01:16:17
◼
►
know but certainly it's not like oh now
[TS]
01:16:19
◼
►
finally it feels so much faster and
[TS]
01:16:21
◼
►
snappier and more responsive that is not
[TS]
01:16:23
◼
►
the case at all no it's that there's no
[TS]
01:16:25
◼
►
improvement I'm just I'm just struggling
[TS]
01:16:28
◼
►
whether I would say that it's worse it
[TS]
01:16:30
◼
►
doesn't seem to feel worse for me it
[TS]
01:16:33
◼
►
seemed but see there are all these
[TS]
01:16:35
◼
►
little things that happen now that
[TS]
01:16:36
◼
►
visually little visual things like when
[TS]
01:16:41
◼
►
you you know when you switch between
[TS]
01:16:43
◼
►
different sections there's little
[TS]
01:16:44
◼
►
animations and things that sort of I
[TS]

the hell does at modal mean it's a
[TS]
01:18:39
◼

little sidebar on that for people
[TS]
01:18:41
◼
►
wondering what a modality and user
[TS]
01:18:44
◼
►
interface means so a mode is a state of
[TS]
01:18:47
◼
►
the user interface ah where it's focused
[TS]
01:18:51
◼
►
on a particular activity so the user
[TS]
01:18:55
◼
►
interface changes in such a way this
[TS]
01:18:56
◼
►
icon now you're going to do this and so
[TS]
01:18:58
◼
►
the user interface will change to the
[TS]
01:19:00
◼
►
mode where you're doing whatever this is
[TS]
01:19:02
◼
►
and and modes are generally considered
[TS]
01:19:04
◼
►
user unfriendly and the reason they're
[TS]
01:19:06
◼
►
considered unfriendly is because you
[TS]
01:19:08
◼
►
don't want Peter users to be stuck in a
[TS]
01:19:10
◼
►
mode because you have an interface that
[TS]
01:19:11
◼
►
changes mode and says okay you would
[TS]
01:19:14
◼
►
like to do X now we're in the X mode
[TS]
01:19:16
◼
►
that sounds fine it's like it's not
[TS]
01:19:18
◼
►
great this the software is tailoring
[TS]
01:19:20
◼
►
itself to this one thing that I want to
[TS]
01:19:21
◼
►
do until you decide oh actually I want
[TS]
01:19:23
◼
►
to do something else and if you want to
[TS]
01:19:25
◼
►
do something else now you have to figure
[TS]
01:19:26
◼
►
out how to get out of the mode you're in
[TS]
01:19:28
◼
►
and then go into the other mode or
[TS]
01:19:30
◼
►
whatever and get it you don't you're
[TS]
01:19:31
◼
►
getting out of a mode can be frustrating
[TS]
01:19:32
◼
►
if you're in a mode and you want to go
[TS]
01:19:34
◼
►
do something else you want to just do it
[TS]
01:19:36
◼
►
you don't be like oh how do I get out of
[TS]
01:19:37
◼
►
this mode ah that that's why they're
[TS]
01:19:41
◼
►
considered unfriendly a great example of
[TS]
01:19:42
◼
►
software with modes is everyone's friend
[TS]
01:19:45
◼
►
VI the UNIX text editor he has famously
[TS]
01:19:49
◼

insert mode and command mode which if
[TS]
01:19:52
◼
►
you describe this to a modern computer
[TS]
01:19:53
◼
►
user sounds crazy and I would agree with
[TS]
01:19:55
◼
►
modern computers you're in this class
[TS]
01:19:57
◼
►
that is crazy ah insert mode is where
[TS]
01:20:00
◼
►
get the type stuff like what why would
[TS]
01:20:02
◼
►
there be a mode in a text editor where
[TS]
01:20:04
◼
►
you don't get to type stuff in insert
[TS]
01:20:05
◼
►
mode when you press the letter a key
[TS]
01:20:07
◼
►
I'll letter A appear like when you're
[TS]
01:20:09

typing and and that's the way everyone
[TS]
01:20:11
◼

[TS]
01:20:13
◼
►
typing something when I type the letter
[TS]
01:20:14
◼
►
A I want the letter A to appear but VI
[TS]
01:20:17
◼

also has command mode where when you
[TS]
01:20:20
◼
►
type things it doesn't interpret them as
[TS]
01:20:22
◼
►
a request for you to put that text into
[TS]
01:20:24
◼
►
the document it interprets it as a
[TS]
01:20:25
◼
►
command VI users will tell you this is
[TS]
01:20:27
◼
►
awesome because then you can have
[TS]
01:20:28
◼
►
commands that are a single key press so

[TS]
01:20:52
◼
►
your key presses are interpreted as
[TS]
01:20:54
◼
►
commands and that's a mode because the
[TS]
01:20:56
◼
►
same key press in a different mode does
[TS]
01:20:58
◼
►
a different thing uh and you know again

[TS]
01:21:35
◼

those things where are the things that I
[TS]
01:21:36
◼
►
learned in VI including like how to move
[TS]
01:21:39
◼
►
around the screen and a little little
[TS]
01:21:41
◼
►
insert in front of the line n to the
[TS]
01:21:43
◼
►
line I don't know what any of them are
[TS]
01:21:45
◼

if I was asked it's become muscle memory

01:21:47
◼

01:21:53
◼

the week after that I was like the king
[TS]
01:21:55
◼
►
of VI remember everything I was using it
[TS]
01:21:57
◼
►
and then like after that I forgot it all
[TS]
01:21:59
◼
►
and I'm back to like the five basic
[TS]
01:22:01
◼
►
things that I remembered in 1994 when I
[TS]
01:22:04
◼
►
first learned a is a pen not beginning
[TS]
01:22:06
◼
►
Alonso is a hand and I is insert wasn't
[TS]
01:22:09
◼
►
that was the last command
[TS]
01:22:11
◼
►
anyway the key breakthrough for me for
[TS]
01:22:13
◼
►
VI was like I would get into the eye and
[TS]
01:22:15
◼
►
I didn't want to learn I didn't want to
[TS]
01:22:16
◼
►
know what I'm like just giving it out of
[TS]
01:22:17
◼
►
this thing but if you don't know the a
[TS]
01:22:19
◼
►
command for a pen you can get into
[TS]
01:22:21
◼
►
situations where you can't do what you
[TS]
01:22:22
◼
►
want to do like I can't get to the end
[TS]
01:22:23
◼
►
of this line when I go to the end of it
[TS]
01:22:25
◼
►
won't let me move the cursor to the
[TS]
01:22:26
◼
►
right so I can't you know you get it I
[TS]
01:22:27
◼
►
to go in insert mode but then you're
[TS]
01:22:28
◼
►
putting the thing before so you have to
[TS]
01:22:30
◼
►
know a pen to get the maddening I do not
[TS]
01:22:32
◼
►
like modes I do not like VI yes for the
[TS]
01:22:34
◼
►
people asking chat room I mean Emacs
[TS]
01:22:35
◼

01:22:39
◼
►
the only time I've ever in Lisp in my
[TS]
01:22:41
◼
►
life but you know the whole nine yards
[TS]
01:22:42
◼
►
the Maxis is my friend and even Emacs
[TS]
01:22:44
◼
►
you get into them open you're gonna
[TS]
01:22:45
◼
►
forget mini buffer and emacs if you're

01:22:50
◼
►
many buffer and DBP but it beeps at you
[TS]
01:22:51
◼
►
and you're frustrated and even the Emacs
[TS]
01:22:54
◼
►
has modes uh yeah modes are generally
[TS]
01:22:57
◼
►
considered not friendly because you know
[TS]
01:23:00
◼
►
you don't want people to be stuck there
[TS]
01:23:02
◼
►
they want I want to do something else
[TS]
01:23:03
◼
►
it's like actually you can't do
[TS]
01:23:05
◼
►
something else because that's something
[TS]
01:23:06
◼
►
else you wanted to do is interpret it
[TS]
01:23:07
◼
►
differently in this mode oh well if you
[TS]
01:23:08
◼
►
want to do something else you have to
[TS]
01:23:09
◼
►
get out of this mode I hope you know how
[TS]
01:23:10
◼
►
to exit this mode ah so modes not
[TS]
01:23:13
◼
►
friendly now a modal window in the sense
[TS]
01:23:16
◼
►
of a graphical user interface on modal
[TS]
01:23:19
◼
►
window is a window that puts the
[TS]
01:23:20
◼
►
application into a particular mode and
[TS]
01:23:22
◼
►
that mode is usually deal with this
[TS]
01:23:25
◼
►
window now please ah and you can't do
[TS]
01:23:29
◼
►
anything else in the user interface
[TS]
01:23:30
◼
►
until that window is dealt with lots of
[TS]
01:23:34
◼
►
user interface on the Mac used to be
[TS]
01:23:35
◼
►
modal back in you know the 80s and 90s
[TS]
01:23:37
◼
►
for example open save dialog box used to
[TS]
01:23:42
◼
►
be modal and you went hit commando to
[TS]
01:23:43
◼
►
open a document you could not do
[TS]
01:23:46
◼
►
anything in the rest of the application
[TS]
01:23:47
◼
►
until you either decided to open a
[TS]
01:23:48
◼
►
document or hit cancel that that's what
[TS]
01:23:51
◼
►
we called app modal where the entire
[TS]
01:23:53
◼
►
application is blocked by this one
[TS]
01:23:55
◼
►
window that's up on the screen back in
[TS]
01:23:57
◼
►
the old old days the whole application
[TS]
01:24:00
◼
►
was system modal like when you were
[TS]
01:24:02
◼
►
running an application you couldn't even
[TS]
01:24:03
◼
►
see the finder I wasn't running anymore
[TS]
01:24:06
◼
►
you you know it was so at modal was
[TS]
01:24:09
◼
►
system a little back in those days
[TS]
01:24:10
◼
►
basically because you couldn't run
[TS]
01:24:12
◼
►
multiple applications at once when you
[TS]
01:24:13
◼
►
launch an application the finder was
[TS]
01:24:14
◼
►
gone all you were in was this
[TS]
01:24:16
◼
►
application and so when you hit the
[TS]
01:24:17
◼
►
commando to open a document you couldn't
[TS]
01:24:21
◼
►
use the rest of mac paint or whatever it
[TS]
01:24:22
◼
►
is you were using until you've dealt
[TS]
01:24:24
◼
►
with the dialog box and
[TS]
01:24:24
◼
►
couldn't do anything else because this
[TS]
01:24:26
◼
►
was the only thing that was running
[TS]
01:24:27
◼
►
because the thing had 128 kilobytes of
[TS]
01:24:29
◼
►
RAM people all right uh gradually
[TS]
01:24:32
◼
►
modality has been reduced in the mac
[TS]
01:24:34
◼
►
operating system once you could run
[TS]
01:24:36
◼
►
multiple applications at once there was
[TS]
01:24:38
◼
►
a distinction between system modal a nap
[TS]
01:24:40
◼
►
modal a system modal dialog box or
[TS]
01:24:42
◼
►
window would stop you from using that
[TS]
01:24:44
◼
►
application but you could switch to
[TS]
01:24:45
◼
►
another running application and use that
[TS]
01:24:46
◼
►
in system modal dialog box you couldn't
[TS]
01:24:49
◼
►
do anything until you dealt with that
[TS]
01:24:51
◼
►
dialog box couldn't change another
[TS]
01:24:52
◼
►
application couldn't touch anything its
[TS]
01:24:54
◼
►
system modal huh all those things were
[TS]
01:24:56
◼
►
considered unfriendly because you don't
[TS]
01:24:58
◼
►
want to be blocked from doing what
[TS]
01:24:59
◼
►
you're doing by this stupid window that
[TS]
01:25:01
◼
►
wants you to deal with it uh it in OS 10
[TS]
01:25:05
◼
►
in the modern era of course you can run
[TS]
01:25:07
◼
►
multiple applications and everything the
[TS]
01:25:09
◼
►
way OS 10 application should work and
[TS]
01:25:10
◼
►
mostly do is that almost nothing should
[TS]
01:25:12
◼
►
be mobile so you have tons of apps
[TS]
01:25:13
◼
►
running at once you can switch freely
[TS]
01:25:15
◼
►
between them open save doesn't block the
[TS]
01:25:17
◼
►
entire application it's not at modal
[TS]
01:25:19
◼
►
anymore and good applications you can
[TS]
01:25:20
◼
►
have multiple occurrences of those
[TS]
01:25:22
◼
►
running at once because they're you know
[TS]
01:25:23
◼
►
sheets you know if you go to text edit
[TS]
01:25:25
◼
►
or whatever and hit open or save uh well
[TS]
01:25:28
◼
►
open and open seven dollar box but save
[TS]
01:25:30
◼
►
or whatever you can have them attach the
[TS]
01:25:31
◼
►
sheets to to our I'm in the middle of
[TS]
01:25:33
◼
►
saving this document but I haven't
[TS]
01:25:34
◼
►
decided where I'm gonna save it I'm
[TS]
01:25:35
◼
►
gonna work on this one now okay i'm
[TS]
01:25:37
◼
►
gonna try to save this one but i haven't
[TS]
01:25:38
◼
►
decided where i'm going to save it you
[TS]
01:25:39
◼
►
can have to save sheets attach a two
[TS]
01:25:41
◼
►
different documents still go to a third
[TS]
01:25:43
◼
►
document within the same application and
[TS]
01:25:44
◼
►
work on it that's the advantage from not
[TS]
01:25:46
◼
►
being modal like your whole application
[TS]
01:25:47
◼
►
your whole work in TextEdit is not
[TS]
01:25:49
◼
►
blocked because you haven't decided to
[TS]
01:25:50
◼
►
make a decision about where you're gonna
[TS]
01:25:51
◼
►
save this thing yet you can just have it
[TS]
01:25:53
◼
►
stew over there of course autosave puts
[TS]
01:25:55
◼
►
more wrinkles into this you can read my
[TS]
01:25:57
◼
►
mountain mind review for more on that if
[TS]
01:25:58
◼
►
you want but in general reduction of
[TS]
01:26:02
◼
►
modes is how we make progress because we
[TS]
01:26:03
◼
►
don't ever want to be trapped in those
[TS]
01:26:04
◼
►
things those you know it's appropriate
[TS]
01:26:06
◼
►
for some of these actions to block
[TS]
01:26:08
◼
►
something like you can't do any more
[TS]
01:26:09
◼
►
work on this document until you decide
[TS]
01:26:11
◼
►
where you're going to save it if you
[TS]
01:26:12
◼
►
don't want to say but now he canceled
[TS]
01:26:13
◼
►
right that's appropriate but it should
[TS]
01:26:15
◼
►
only block of that document that's why
[TS]
01:26:16
◼
►
sheets were a nice innovation in
[TS]
01:26:18
◼
►
reducing modality because previously the
[TS]
01:26:20
◼
►
open say a dog a box would block the
[TS]
01:26:21
◼
►
whole app and now it was just linked to
[TS]
01:26:23
◼
►
that one document and so you could put
[TS]
01:26:25
◼
►
it off to the side uh preferences
[TS]
01:26:28
◼
►
getting back the getting closer back
[TS]
01:26:29
◼
►
contract iTunes thinks preferences on
[TS]
01:26:31
◼
►
iOS 10 are not only supposed to be non
[TS]
01:26:33
◼
►
at modal like you should be able to do
[TS]
01:26:34
◼
►
all their stuff on the application when
[TS]
01:26:36
◼
►
that applications preferences
[TS]
01:26:38
◼
►
dialogue is on the screen but ideally
[TS]
01:26:40
◼
►
they should also be live updating I
[TS]
01:26:42
◼
►
haven't looked at the human interface
[TS]
01:26:43
◼
►
guidelines to see if they spell this out
[TS]
01:26:44
◼
►
or actually recommend against it but in
[TS]
01:26:46
◼
►
practice most of the mac applications
[TS]
01:26:48
◼
►
that I like and that are good both from
[TS]
01:26:50
◼
►
Apple and other places when possible
[TS]
01:26:52
◼
►
they make it so when you change a
[TS]
01:26:54
◼
►
setting in preferences if that setting
[TS]
01:26:56
◼
►
changes something like visual in the
[TS]
01:26:57
◼
►
application you can see that change so
[TS]
01:26:59
◼
►
you can have the preferences when to
[TS]
01:27:00
◼
►
open and hit some checkbox that says
[TS]
01:27:01
◼
►
like you know hide or show bookmarks bar
[TS]
01:27:04
◼
►
something sorry I don't know this is
[TS]
01:27:05
◼
►
actually a case where it's live updating
[TS]
01:27:07
◼
►
I haven't done in a while but ideally
[TS]
01:27:10
◼
►
you shouldn't even have to you know open
[TS]
01:27:12
◼
►
preferences change settings and it save
[TS]
01:27:14
◼
►
or okay or whatever and then those
[TS]
01:27:15
◼
►
settings take place you should be able
[TS]
01:27:17
◼
►
to see them while you're fiddling with
[TS]
01:27:18
◼
►
the preference yes and if you don't want
[TS]
01:27:20
◼
►
to deal with apartment that's then fine
[TS]
01:27:21
◼
►
don't click in a different window in the
[TS]
01:27:23
◼
►
application preferences window is still
[TS]
01:27:24
◼
►
open but you still use the rest of the
[TS]
01:27:26
◼
►
application you can open Safari
[TS]
01:27:28
◼
►
preferences and then open a new browser
[TS]
01:27:29
◼
►
window and browse for a wild and go back
[TS]
01:27:31
◼
►
to the Preferences window and stuff uh I
[TS]
01:27:33
◼
►
hope this is true I'm just assuming
[TS]
01:27:35
◼
►
because that seems like the way it
[TS]
01:27:36
◼
►
should work but no I I have the
[TS]
01:27:39
◼
►
Preferences window open right now I'm
[TS]
01:27:40
◼
►
able to go to different windows two
[TS]
01:27:43
◼
►
different things and no problem
[TS]
01:27:45
◼
►
whatsoever and there there's a little
[TS]
01:27:47
◼
►
there's a little window and I can
[TS]
01:27:48
◼
►
command tilde around and get to it
[TS]
01:27:50
◼
►
change it whatever I'd like it is not
[TS]
01:27:53
◼
►
apt modal it is not system modal is just
[TS]
01:27:55
◼
►
a window I like any other window and you
[TS]
01:27:57
◼
►
can put a deal with it or not deal with
[TS]
01:27:59
◼
►
it and that's the way preferences is
[TS]
01:28:00
◼
►
supposed to work and the fact that
[TS]
01:28:02
◼
►
iTunes preferences window is app modal
[TS]
01:28:04
◼
►
like that is such a throwback to the you
[TS]
01:28:09
◼
►
know it highlights iTunes origin as a
[TS]
01:28:12
◼
►
classic mac OS application which is one
[TS]
01:28:14
◼
►
thing you'll be young people might see
[TS]
01:28:16
◼
►
when they look at that iTunes through
[TS]
01:28:17
◼
►
the ages yes it started out as a classic
[TS]
01:28:19
◼
►
mac OS application because Mac os10
[TS]
01:28:21
◼
►
didn't exist yet uh that was something
[TS]
01:28:23
◼
►
that those applications to do all it's
[TS]
01:28:25
◼
►
not like you know pulling down menus
[TS]
01:28:26
◼
►
it's another big one it has more to do
[TS]
01:28:28
◼
►
with pre-emptive versus cooperative
[TS]
01:28:29
◼
►
multitasking about you when you pulled
[TS]
01:28:30
◼
►
down a menu from the menu bar in classic
[TS]
01:28:32
◼
►
Mac OS uh nothing else could happen on
[TS]
01:28:35
◼
►
the system menu was down and you know
[TS]
01:28:37
◼
►
everything would stop frozen yeah oh
[TS]
01:28:39
◼
►
they would they tried that you know okay
[TS]
01:28:41
◼
►
everything stops except audio keeps
[TS]
01:28:42
◼
►
playing everything stops itself as
[TS]
01:28:43
◼
►
quicktime keeps playing or whatever but
[TS]
01:28:45
◼
►
it was incredibly limiting all those
[TS]
01:28:46
◼
►
things they've been trying to get rid of
[TS]
01:28:48
◼
►
and so having a preference dialog box in
[TS]
01:28:50
◼
►
2012 on your like what I
[TS]
01:28:52
◼
►
have to call flagship application for
[TS]
01:28:53
◼
►
Apple the company given how it interacts
[TS]
01:28:55
◼
►
with iOS devices and the itunes store
[TS]
01:28:57
◼
►
and everything when you pull the purpose
[TS]
01:29:00
◼
►
of dialog box the entire rest of the
[TS]
01:29:01
◼
►
application is blocked makes no sense
[TS]
01:29:03
◼
►
except once you realize that itunes is
[TS]
01:29:06
◼
►
an application originally developer
[TS]
01:29:07
◼
►
classic mac OS that has been slowly
[TS]
01:29:08
◼
►
changed over the years all right it's
[TS]
01:29:11
◼
►
like a Scarlet Letter of user
[TS]
01:29:12
◼
►
unfriendliness that's why that's why
[TS]
01:29:14
◼
►
this thing is important because like if
[TS]
01:29:17
◼
►
I need if I want to know like have they
[TS]
01:29:19
◼
►
finally turned the corner on iTunes is
[TS]
01:29:20
◼
►
this like really an all-new and iTunes I
[TS]
01:29:22
◼
►
just go to that person style I box if
[TS]
01:29:23
◼
►
it's still at modal then they haven't
[TS]
01:29:26
◼
►
turned the corner and so yeah be
[TS]
01:29:27
◼
►
preferences dialog box and I to an 11
[TS]
01:29:29
◼
►
still at modal they have not turned the
[TS]
01:29:31
◼
►
corner now so the upshot in itunes love
[TS]
01:29:34
◼
►
performance and reliability have not
[TS]
01:29:36
◼
►
been fixed whether they got worse not
[TS]
01:29:39
◼
►
certainly have not been fixed the UI has
[TS]
01:29:41
◼
►
not been rethought in light of you know
[TS]
01:29:43
◼
►
what we currently use it with they've
[TS]
01:29:45
◼
►
they've added to the UI and they tweak
[TS]
01:29:47
◼
►
the UI but it has not been rethought
[TS]
01:29:48
◼
►
they've added even more different hidden
[TS]
01:29:51
◼
►
state for like you know what the up next
[TS]
01:29:53
◼
►
list is attached to the thing and what
[TS]
01:29:55
◼
►
you're searching and stuff like that and
[TS]
01:29:56
◼
►
the hidden side bar by default and stuff
[TS]
01:29:58
◼
►
you know and having figured out ways to
[TS]
01:30:01
◼
►
do certain things with the old user
[TS]
01:30:03
◼
►
interface I now have to figure out how
[TS]
01:30:05
◼
►
to do those same things within your user
[TS]
01:30:06
◼
►
interface up but you know that happens
[TS]
01:30:10
◼
►
you do I knew how to use this old one it
[TS]
01:30:12
◼
►
didn't make any sense but I figured it
[TS]
01:30:13
◼
►
out I know I knew when I got to figure
[TS]
01:30:15
◼
►
it out it again but there's no real
[TS]
01:30:16
◼
►
benefit to figure out the new one like
[TS]
01:30:17
◼
►
there's nothing good about the new
[TS]
01:30:18
◼
►
program that makes it worthwhile for me
[TS]
01:30:20
◼
►
to learn this new way of doing except
[TS]
01:30:22
◼
►
for the fact that like look you know
[TS]
01:30:23
◼
►
soft fur up these gonna keep insisting
[TS]
01:30:24
◼
►
that I updated so I better just bite the
[TS]
01:30:26
◼
►
bullet and learn it so I give itunes
[TS]
01:30:28
◼
►
loving a big thumbs down it's nice
[TS]
01:30:31
◼
►
they're trying to do something with it
[TS]
01:30:32
◼
►
i'm not saying i had to keep it the old
[TS]
01:30:33
◼
►
one I certainly didn't like the 0 1 i'm
[TS]
01:30:35
◼
►
not gonna say the old one was perfect
[TS]
01:30:36
◼
►
you shouldn't change it i just i want to
[TS]
01:30:37
◼
►
see performance and reliability address
[TS]
01:30:40
◼
►
that's like my number-one and then
[TS]
01:30:42
◼
►
rethink the you i don't just add to it
[TS]
01:30:44
◼
►
tweak it or fiddle that maybe they think
[TS]
01:30:46
◼
►
this is rethinking but it's just not
[TS]
01:30:48
◼
►
it's adding more confusion on top of the
[TS]
01:30:50
◼
►
way I think you know even if you go like
[TS]
01:30:52
◼
►
okay i won't i won't show the sidebar
[TS]
01:30:53
◼
►
I'll try to use it the way I want it's
[TS]
01:30:56
◼
►
not enough of rethinking they didn't go
[TS]
01:30:57
◼
►
far enough uh they added too much cruft
[TS]
01:31:00
◼
►
on top of the stuff that was already
[TS]
01:31:03
◼
►
so thumbs down boo yeah and if the bugs
[TS]
01:31:08
◼
►
are bugs describing that's like I mostly
[TS]
01:31:10
◼
►
use the mini player and the mini player
[TS]
01:31:13
◼
►
has this bug where every once in a while
[TS]
01:31:15
◼
►
it will decide to show the album art and
[TS]
01:31:16
◼
►
then draw like the previous track button
[TS]
01:31:19
◼
►
right on top of the album art when many
[TS]
01:31:20
◼
►
players in the smallest smallest mode
[TS]
01:31:22
◼
►
you can get it you know shrink it down
[TS]
01:31:23
◼
►
as small as you can get it horizontally
[TS]
01:31:24
◼
►
so it's very very small every once in a
[TS]
01:31:26
◼
►
while sigh i would like to display the
[TS]
01:31:28
◼
►
album art underneath the previous track
[TS]
01:31:29
◼
►
button it's just a bug it's an ugly bug
[TS]
01:31:32
◼
►
but it's like didn't these people are
[TS]
01:31:33
◼
►
like if you use them any player for a
[TS]
01:31:35
◼
►
single day you will see that bug and
[TS]
01:31:36
◼
►
it's it doesn't make me think this is
[TS]
01:31:39
◼
►
you know high quality software and I
[TS]
01:31:42
◼
►
knew like when iTunes they says going to
[TS]
01:31:43
◼
►
come out and they didn't mention again
[TS]
01:31:45
◼
►
first when they announced it instead
[TS]
01:31:47
◼
►
it's gonna be out in November right away
[TS]
01:31:49
◼
►
I said alright that's that's an
[TS]
01:31:50
◼
►
application that's in trouble because
[TS]
01:31:52
◼
►
they would like to have announced that
[TS]
01:31:54
◼
►
shipping that day but they can't because
[TS]
01:31:56
◼
►
it's not ready yet and I immediately
[TS]
01:31:58
◼
►
thought this is not going to be ready in
[TS]
01:31:59
◼
►
November either it's gonna be buggy and
[TS]
01:32:00
◼
►
it's gonna be a mess and here we have it
[TS]
01:32:02
◼
►
so they obviously didn't have enough
[TS]
01:32:05
◼
►
time right now it's time to do what they
[TS]
01:32:06
◼
►
wanted or even enough time to get this

the show notes and so first thing to say
[TS]
01:36:51
◼
►
about Tim Cook being in the news is that
[TS]
01:36:53
◼
►
it's not the steve jobs never did things
[TS]
01:36:57
◼
►
like this cuz he did he did publicity
[TS]
01:36:58
◼
►
unlike these same news shows and stuff
[TS]
01:37:01
◼
►
like when a new product was announced
[TS]
01:37:02
◼
►
that have some little segment that we

themselves and saying we're opening the
[TS]
01:37:13
◼

store like he would do news segments for
[TS]
01:37:15
◼

the national news but these these type
[TS]
01:37:17
◼
►
of things uh but in general when he did
[TS]
01:37:22
◼
►
stuff like that he was acting as a
[TS]
01:37:24
◼
►
spokesman for the company to talk about
[TS]
01:37:26
◼
►
a new product like it was it seemed like
[TS]
01:37:29
◼
►
to me that it was more on on apple's
[TS]
01:37:32
◼
►
terms like we are using you national
[TS]
01:37:34
◼
►

[TS]
01:37:36
◼
►
just created uh and we'll talk to you

interview to talk about the product or
[TS]
01:37:43
◼

whatever especially video like is his
[TS]
01:37:45
◼

steve jobs would be you can get quotes

[TS]
01:37:50
◼
►

[TS]
01:37:53

►
more than like cuz apple didn't have a
[TS]
01:37:56
◼
►
product to announce like yes they had

personal interview then than expected

about us and this you know this lets Tim
[TS]
01:39:46
◼

01:39:49
◼

era same thing with the exec shuffle

opportunity to sort of explain itself to

the world which ah this I think this

steadily gets a word that I can't stand
[TS]
01:42:11

they are done but I also believe that in

that's how it begins it meaning like
[TS]
01:42:26
◼
►
apples fall like so he's saying like you
[TS]
01:42:28
◼

need some sort of amount of internal
[TS]
01:42:29
◼

conflict and disruption to continue
[TS]
01:42:31
◼
►
innovating and whether you like Scott
[TS]
01:42:34
◼

Forstall or not he surely was causing
[TS]
01:42:36
◼
►
internal tension and conflict you know
[TS]
01:42:38
◼

and that is saying this as I is a
[TS]
01:42:41
◼

necessary component of innovation like
[TS]
01:42:43
◼
►
you can't you know he says it might make
[TS]
01:42:45
◼
►
for a more stable company and when I
[TS]
01:42:47
◼

read that I thought of like the old saw
[TS]
01:42:48
◼
►
that stable you know in biology is a
[TS]
01:42:51
◼
►
euphemism for dead because anything
[TS]
01:42:52
◼
►
that's stable anything it's not changing
[TS]
01:42:54
◼
►
might as well be dead and that's the
[TS]
01:42:55
◼

danger like you know what's gonna bring
[TS]
01:42:57
◼

Apple down is it going to be bad
[TS]
01:42:59
◼

decisions are just going to be you know
[TS]
01:43:00
◼
►
too much stability and conservatism so
[TS]
01:43:02
◼
►
by removing Forrestal which was this
[TS]
01:43:04
◼
►
wild card and the source of tension and
[TS]
01:43:06
◼
►
drama and everything perhaps that makes
[TS]
01:43:09
◼
►
apple weaker because you need some
[TS]
01:43:10
◼
►
minimum amount of tension inside the
[TS]
01:43:12
◼
►
company to get stuff done and
[TS]
01:43:14
◼

counterpoint to that is their article
[TS]
01:43:16

posted by Jason Snell just today
[TS]
01:43:17
◼
►
entitled for Apple change could be a
[TS]
01:43:20
◼
►
good sign and he links to the reins and
[TS]
01:43:23
◼
►
repose thing which he's providing
[TS]
01:43:25
◼
►
counterpoint to and he says this about
[TS]
01:43:29
◼
►
after like nothing this is when I first
[TS]
01:43:32
◼
►
heard word of forestalls departure the
[TS]
01:43:34
◼
►
first thing I thought of was something
[TS]
01:43:35
◼
►
Steve Jobs himself said and he gives a
[TS]
01:43:37
◼
►
quote from Steve Jobs Stanford
[TS]
01:43:39
◼
►
commencement address in 2005 it's this
[TS]
01:43:42
◼
►
bit death is very likely the single best
[TS]
01:43:45
◼
►
invention of life it's life's change
[TS]
01:43:47
◼
►
agent it clears out the old to make way
[TS]
01:43:49
◼
►
for the new right now the new is you
[TS]
01:43:51
◼
►
he's talking to the audience and the
[TS]
01:43:52
◼
►
commencement address but someday not too
[TS]
01:43:54
◼
►
long from now you'll be gradually become
[TS]
01:43:56
◼
►
the old and be cleared away sorry to be
[TS]
01:43:58
◼
►
dramatic but it's quite true hmm so
[TS]
01:44:00
◼
►
Snell's take on it is that you know you
[TS]
01:44:05
◼
►
know things change you can't another
[TS]
01:44:10
◼
►
form of stability is keeping the same
[TS]
01:44:11
◼
►
crew with same tensions over a long
[TS]
01:44:13
◼
►
period of time and like you know even
[TS]
01:44:14
◼
►
though doesn't sound like stability
[TS]
01:44:16
◼
►
because its fault on everything it oh
[TS]
01:44:19
◼
►
changing being afraid to make that
[TS]
01:44:20
◼
►
radical change in personnel is another
[TS]
01:44:23
◼
►
way that you can end up stagnating and
[TS]
01:44:26
◼
►
you know death is the single best
[TS]
01:44:29
◼
►
invention of life saying you need
[TS]
01:44:30
◼
►
something to come along and clear out
[TS]
01:44:32
◼
►
the old you know Steve Jobs is kind of
[TS]
01:44:34
◼
►
talking about himself there something
[TS]
01:44:36
◼
►
like some day I'm going to die in
[TS]
01:44:37
◼
►
someone else's got to take you over in
[TS]
01:44:38
◼
►
the same way you can't have the same
[TS]
01:44:40
◼
►
executive team forever uh it's good to
[TS]
01:44:43
◼
►
have some kind of turnover and you know
[TS]
01:44:44
◼
►
in this case it wasn't death but firing
[TS]
01:44:47
◼
►
but it's in the form of corporate death
[TS]
01:44:49
◼
►
that's a single best invention of apples
[TS]
01:44:52
◼
►
corporate life that they need to have
[TS]
01:44:53
◼
►
some turnover so uh I'm not gonna come
[TS]
01:44:58
◼
►
down on one side or the other I think
[TS]
01:44:59
◼
►
both of these points are equally valid I
[TS]
01:45:01
◼
►
think I personally don't know enough
[TS]
01:45:02
◼
►
about what's going on inside Apple to
[TS]
01:45:05
◼
►
know was this good or bad I'm inclined
[TS]
01:45:08
◼
►
to side with Jason overall given the
[TS]
01:45:11
◼
►
imperfect information because I think
[TS]
01:45:16
◼
►
four Sol's been there for a long time
[TS]
01:45:18
◼
►
and played a significant role and if the
[TS]
01:45:21
◼
►
things I hear about him causing
[TS]
01:45:22
◼
►
disruption internally are true it would
[TS]
01:45:26
◼
►
be difficult for me to imagine a radical
[TS]
01:45:28
◼
►
internal change happening when he's
[TS]
01:45:31
◼
►
still there and demanding to do exactly
[TS]
01:45:32
◼
►
the same things that he wanted to like
[TS]
01:45:34
◼
►
if he wants to have his little kingdom
[TS]
01:45:35
◼
►
and not collaborate and everything like
[TS]
01:45:37
◼
►
regardless of whether you think
[TS]
01:45:38
◼
►
collaboration or having Silas is the
[TS]
01:45:40
◼
►
right thing to do clearly apples been
[TS]
01:45:41
◼
►
doing it one way for a long time and I
[TS]
01:45:42
◼
►
think it's good to try a different way
[TS]
01:45:44
◼
►
and if he was standing in the way of
[TS]
01:45:45
◼
►
trying that different way then he needs
[TS]
01:45:48
◼
►
to go that's what Tim Cook said his
[TS]
01:45:49
◼
►
interview when asked about force tall
[TS]
01:45:51
◼
►
and proud he you know deflected as usual
[TS]
01:45:53
◼
►
and then said I've always believed in
[TS]
01:45:54
◼
►
collaboration i wish i had a Tim Cook
[TS]
01:45:56
◼
►
impression I can't I don't have a real
[TS]
01:45:58
◼
►
one does yet yeah he's is it from
[TS]
01:46:00
◼
►
Georgia or something or he's from the
[TS]
01:46:02
◼
►
south he's got a southern accent but
[TS]
01:46:03
◼
►
it's very tamp down anywhere says you
[TS]
01:46:06
◼
►
know I've always believed in
[TS]
01:46:07
◼
►
collaboration and it's not like a new
[TS]
01:46:08
◼
►
thing for me and you know we think this
[TS]
01:46:10
◼
►
is gonna help us you know that the hint
[TS]
01:46:12
◼
►
is like he was not a team player he was
[TS]
01:46:13
◼
►
not willing to collaborate or whatever
[TS]
01:46:15
◼
►
he come out and say this but this is the
[TS]
01:46:16
◼
►
implication uh and him saying it's not a
[TS]
01:46:19
◼
►
new thing is kind of like saying look
[TS]
01:46:20
◼
►
when I took over I wanted everyone to
[TS]
01:46:23
◼
►
collaborate and I was already frustrated
[TS]
01:46:24
◼
►
with the fact that these guys couldn't
[TS]
01:46:26
◼
►
collaborate cuz they were fighting with
[TS]
01:46:27
◼
►
each other but I gave it a try but they
[TS]
01:46:29
◼
►
just couldn't work it out you know what
[TS]
01:46:30
◼
►
this is the last straw and I said he has
[TS]
01:46:31
◼
►
to go so that's what it came down
[TS]
01:46:33
◼
►
seems like healthy dynamic to me that
[TS]
01:46:35
◼
►
like he was willing to it was wasn't
[TS]
01:46:37
◼
►
immediately coming in and firing
[TS]
01:46:39
◼
►
everybody and putting a stamp and
[TS]
01:46:40
◼
►
everything this is the egomaniac but at
[TS]
01:46:41
◼
►
the same time he's like look I have a
[TS]
01:46:44
◼
►
different philosophy about these things
[TS]
01:46:45
◼
►
that Steve Jobs did and the way I want
[TS]
01:46:47
◼
►
things to work is more collaborative and
[TS]
01:46:48
◼
►
if this guys getting in the way then
[TS]
01:46:50
◼
►
he's got to go and then brow it which he
[TS]
01:46:51
◼
►
didn't address at all in the interview
[TS]
01:46:52
◼
►
which is kind of a shame the exhalation
[TS]
01:46:54
◼
►
sure that would have been good old Steve
[TS]
01:46:56
◼
►
Jobs explanation that we've heard on
[TS]
01:46:58
◼
►
past shows what can I say I hired the
[TS]
01:47:00
◼
►
wrong guy yep you did and then you fired
[TS]
01:47:02
◼
►
them Tim so I guess it's better than
[TS]
01:47:03
◼
►
nothing but next time don't hire the
[TS]
01:47:04
◼
►
wrong guy maybe and the final the only
[TS]
01:47:09
◼
►
new pieces of information I really new
[TS]
01:47:11
◼
►
but like a criminology or is that a
[TS]
01:47:13
◼
►
thing where you're you're hanging on

[TS]
01:47:26
◼

subtle moves that you see in these
[TS]

refers to the study of Soviet society as
[TS]
01:47:42
◼

a whole the term is named after the
[TS]
01:47:44

Kremlin seat of today's Russian and then

soviet government criminologists

study of criminology it's sometimes used

sweepingly to describe Western scholars

in Russian or Soviet law pizza box got

[TS]
01:48:07
◼

you're like oh it must have been a
[TS]
01:48:08
◼

falling out there like that reality so
[TS]
01:48:10
◼
►
we're seemingly insignificant details
[TS]
01:48:13
◼
►
but they're all we have to go on and we
[TS]
01:48:14
◼
►
hang on them and so this one is one of
[TS]
01:48:16
◼
►
those things is the one piece of
[TS]
01:48:17
◼
►
significant information out of the
[TS]
01:48:19
◼
►
interviews when asked about television
[TS]
01:48:21
◼
►
Tim Cook said we haven't this is an area
[TS]
01:48:25
◼
►
of intent quote intense interest unquote
[TS]
01:48:27
◼
►
for Apple uh and why does that make a
[TS]
01:48:30
◼
►
difference housing he said the same
[TS]
01:48:31
◼
►
thing 50 times all but he used slightly
[TS]
01:48:33
◼
►
different words this time he said this
[TS]
01:48:35
◼
►
is an area we're looking into this is an
[TS]
01:48:37
◼
►
area that's important to us now they
[TS]
01:48:38
◼
►
have intense interest which is different
[TS]
01:48:40
◼
►
than you know that's that's why i was
[TS]
01:48:43
◼
►
thinking criminology cuz like all he
[TS]
01:48:44
◼
►
said intense interest that's totally
[TS]
01:48:45
◼
►
different
[TS]
01:48:46
◼
►
you know they are slowly slowly ramping
[TS]
01:48:49
◼
►
up the rhetoric on television of saying
[TS]
01:48:51
◼
►
like oh we're kind of looking into it or
[TS]
01:48:53
◼
►
we're very interested in this area now
[TS]
01:48:54
◼
►
the interest is intense then it's
[TS]
01:48:56
◼
►
intense it's not just regular interest
[TS]
01:48:58
◼
►
and so uh yeah we don't know what
[TS]
01:49:01
◼
►
they're doing TV but they are not
[TS]
01:49:04
◼
►
backing off on the rhetoric and they're
[TS]
01:49:05
◼
►
not dropping it there in fact cranking
[TS]
01:49:08
◼
►
it up still no actual information about
[TS]
01:49:09
◼
►
what like they're gonna do or anything
[TS]
01:49:10
◼
►
like that but uh there you have it I
[TS]
01:49:13
◼
►
don't have in mind to recap the TV thing
[TS]
01:49:16
◼
►
you know the very first show we talked
[TS]
01:49:18
◼
►
about television it's fitting towards
[TS]
01:49:19

too and some of the audience asked about
[TS]
01:49:33
◼

television and he gave an answer that
[TS]
01:49:35
◼

basically said and in most the most
[TS]
01:49:39
◼
►

models like the demands of content

the various networks oh brother you know

the cable companies that you want to use

our wires you know it's our rules and

content deal or a compelling
[TS]
01:52:06
◼

infrastructure deal or both and it's not

a technology problem it is a business

hardware device or anything about it's

entrenched interests and all the things

want to replace them or supplant them or
[TS]
01:52:40
◼

wedge themselves into their business
[TS]
01:52:42
◼

model and they don't like it so we
[TS]
01:52:44
◼

continued to wait 100 shows have gone by
[TS]
01:52:46
◼
►
and no progress has been made in this
[TS]
01:52:48
◼
►
area for the people who think that
[TS]
01:52:50
◼
►
everything Apple you know there's
[TS]
01:52:52
◼
►
nothing new from apple they made their

01:53:00
◼

this I don't know this is gonna be the
[TS]
01:53:01
◼
►
last one but this is surely the next one
[TS]
01:53:03
◼
►
in a hundred shows hypercritical almost
[TS]
01:53:05
◼
►
a hundred shows it has not happened yet
[TS]
01:53:08
◼
►
shame but it's an area of intense
[TS]
01:53:09
◼
►
interest and I remain intensely
[TS]
01:53:12
◼
►
interested but you're on you're on board
[TS]
01:53:15
◼
►
with this when they you you it sounds
[TS]
01:53:18
◼
►
like you're optimistic
[TS]
01:53:18
◼
►
uncharacteristically optimistic well
[TS]
01:53:22
◼
►
they keep cranking up there the public
[TS]
01:53:24
◼
►
statements like what why keep you know
[TS]
01:53:28
◼
►
that's not the apples way to you know
[TS]
01:53:30
◼
►
like what when the ipad was coming they
[TS]
01:53:32
◼
►
didn't hint for like three years or
[TS]
01:53:34
◼
►
think we're really looking into tablets
[TS]
01:53:36
◼

[TS]
01:53:38
◼
►
screen devices bigger than an iphone
[TS]
01:53:39
◼
►
like they didn't do that everyone else
[TS]
01:53:41
◼
►
thought they were gonna make a tablet
[TS]
01:53:42
◼
►
any time you asked Apple by the tablet
[TS]
01:53:44
◼
►
they would say we don't comment on
[TS]
01:53:45
◼
►
future products right but with a TV
[TS]
01:53:46
◼
►
thing it's like we're totally looking
[TS]
01:53:48
◼
►
into that area we're really interested
[TS]
01:53:49
◼
►
in TV are you making something then they
[TS]
01:53:51
◼

[TS]
01:53:53
◼
►
interested in TV yeah you know and
[TS]
01:53:55
◼
►
that's what's interesting is how this is
[TS]
01:53:57
◼
►
so different from you know before the
[TS]
01:54:00
◼
►
days of doing anything with iPhones you
[TS]
01:54:02
◼

01:54:05
◼

then oh no one wants to read on you know
[TS]
01:54:07
◼

all of the all of the stuff that they
[TS]
01:54:08
◼

used to say to whether that was what
[TS]
01:54:11
◼
►
they believed no we know now that wasn't
[TS]
01:54:13
◼

them off the scent like you were talking

01:54:15
◼

about and and now they're actually

[TS]
01:54:23
◼
►
real revolution in TV because listen I
[TS]
01:54:27
◼
►
you know that if I didn't believe and I
[TS]

think you probably agree with me cuz I
[TS]
01:54:31
◼
►
know how many podcasts you listen to but
[TS]
01:54:33
◼
►
I believe that this is the future of the
[TS]
01:54:36
◼

way that people will consume their audio
[TS]
01:54:38
◼
►
stuff body i believe it's podcasting
[TS]
01:54:41
◼
►

[TS]
01:54:45
◼
►
not the future of anything the future is
[TS]
01:54:48
◼
►
people listening to the things that are
[TS]
01:54:51
◼
►
interesting to them when they would like
[TS]
01:54:53
◼
►
to listen to those things wherever they
[TS]
01:54:55
◼
►
happen to be that's that's the future of
[TS]
01:54:58
◼
►
the way people listen and people will
[TS]
01:55:00
◼
►
always listen to audio stuff because
[TS]
01:55:02
◼
►
it's a wonderful secondary activity you
[TS]
01:55:04
◼
►
can listen while you're walking your dog
[TS]
01:55:06
◼
►
or at the gym you can listen to when
[TS]
01:55:08
◼
►
your roommate is watching something on
[TS]
01:55:10
◼

TV that's stupid you can listen to while

[TS]
01:55:15
◼

you're working and so the people will
[TS]
01:55:18
◼
►
always listen to audio stuff and that's
[TS]
01:55:20
◼
►
the future but TV
[TS]
01:55:21
◼
►
is the big thing that's the big thing
[TS]
01:55:23
◼
►
that's going to really change what
[TS]
01:55:24
◼
►
changed about radio not so much the
[TS]
01:55:27
◼
►
delivery mechanism in in the very
[TS]
01:55:29
◼
►
physical sense and that we still have
[TS]
01:55:31
◼
►
things that are plugged into a device
[TS]
01:55:33
◼
►
that are plugged in to our ears like
[TS]
01:55:34
◼
►
that that's pretty much been that way
[TS]
01:55:36
◼
►
for since the Walkman and that really
[TS]
01:55:39
◼
►
isn't going to change that much but how
[TS]
01:55:43
◼
►
we listen to what we listen to has
[TS]
01:55:44
◼
►
changed what's next for the TV we're all
[TS]
01:55:47
◼
►
going to sit and look in front and look
[TS]
01:55:48
◼
►
at some box it's going to have a moving
[TS]
01:55:50
◼
►
picture on in some sound yes we all DVR
[TS]
01:55:54
◼
►
stuff and we get to watch it at
[TS]
01:55:55
◼
►
different times but it has to do with
[TS]
01:55:57
◼
►
the delivery mechanism from whatever
[TS]
01:56:01
◼
►
those people who create stuff to the
[TS]
01:56:03
◼
►
people like us who they and if you think
[TS]
01:56:04
◼
►
about how much content is independent
[TS]
01:56:07
◼
►
that somebody like you John listens to I
[TS]
01:56:09
◼
►
think most of what you listen to is
[TS]
01:56:11
◼
►
relatively independent content in that
[TS]
01:56:13
◼
►
it comes from individuals or small
[TS]
01:56:15
◼
►
companies like mine who make audio stuff
[TS]
01:56:19
◼
►
as opposed to you're not like going and
[TS]
01:56:22
◼
►
downloading chose from NBC is my guess
[TS]
01:56:24
◼
►
you may be from like Public Radio but
[TS]
01:56:26
◼
►
not from Universal you know what I know
[TS]
01:56:29
◼
►
that was the point I was gonna make
[TS]
01:56:30
◼
►
though like on that we're even audio
[TS]
01:56:31
◼
►
we're in this transitional phase it's
[TS]
01:56:33
◼
►
uncomfortable NPR is a great example
[TS]
01:56:34
◼
►
because you're right like I you know
[TS]
01:56:36
◼
►
even when I listen to NPR it's not on
[TS]
01:56:37
◼
►
the radio like I'm downloading it as a
[TS]
01:56:39
◼
►
podcast but those NPR things could not
[TS]
01:56:41
◼
►
exist if it weren't for the pledge drive
[TS]
01:56:44
◼
►
that runs on the terrestrial radio that
[TS]
01:56:47
◼
►
suckers who don't know about podcasts it
[TS]
01:56:48
◼
►
through on their way to home to work
[TS]
01:56:50
◼
►
from work and get guilted into like if
[TS]
01:56:52
◼
►
it wasn't for the National unskillful
[TS]
01:56:54
◼
►
you know terrestrial radio broadcast of
[TS]
01:56:58
◼
►
pledge drives an NPR they couldn't
[TS]
01:56:59
◼
►
afford to pay for the show's I like to
[TS]
01:57:01
◼
►
listen to on my podcast and so they're
[TS]
01:57:03
◼
►
stuck halfway in between to you know
[TS]
01:57:05
◼
►
they have it they don't have a new
[TS]
01:57:06
◼
►
business model that supports them they
[TS]
01:57:07
◼
►
have the old one and then they have the
[TS]
01:57:09
◼
►
new way and when all those people listen
[TS]
01:57:11
◼
►
to terrestrial radio die like who's
[TS]
01:57:12
◼
►
gonna you know they can have pledge
[TS]
01:57:14
◼
►
drives on the podcast you know it's it's
[TS]
01:57:16
◼
►
weird yeah I don't I don't but that's
[TS]
01:57:19
◼
►
the real the real question is how do we
[TS]
01:57:23
◼
►
change this but when you think about
[TS]
01:57:24
◼
►
that independent content I don't think
[TS]
01:57:27
◼
►
there's a lot of
[TS]
01:57:30
◼
►
I don't think there are a lot of
[TS]
01:57:31
◼
►
channels for people making independent
[TS]
01:57:33
◼
►
video content the way that there are
[TS]
01:57:35
◼
►
four audio I mean look at look at iTunes
[TS]
01:57:37
◼
►
as a really good example I mean the
[TS]
01:57:39
◼
►
other video podcasts but that's not what

01:57:41
◼
►
you and I are talking about when we talk

◼
►

[TS]
02:00:55
◼
►
kind of putting his reputation on the
[TS]
02:00:57
◼
►
line by continuing to talk up the
[TS]
02:00:58
◼
►
television thing because if that day
[TS]
02:01:01
◼
►

02:01:03
◼
►

[TS]
02:01:04
◼
►
television thing this is what we meant

[TS]
02:01:20
◼
►
presidency is riding on us but it's not
[TS]
02:01:21
◼
►
a presidency but his presidency of Apple
[TS]
02:01:23
◼
►
sort of is riding on this TV thing I
[TS]
02:01:25
◼
►
mean how many more sponsors doing no I
[TS]
02:01:29
◼
►
mean I'm somewhat less there's someone
[TS]
02:01:31
◼
►
you wouldn't do no I have one final
[TS]
02:01:33
◼
►
thing here which is the Apple made in
[TS]
02:01:34
◼
►
the USA thing with the mac pro figured
[TS]
02:01:37
◼
►
it was worth talking about for a couple
[TS]
02:01:38
◼
►
seconds yeah I think it's a I think it's
[TS]
02:01:42
◼
►
an important thing to mention because it
[TS]
02:01:44
◼
►
it's the only one that makes sense and
[TS]
02:01:46
◼
►
it's also like their lowest volume thing
[TS]
02:01:48
◼
►
so yeah like that was the other other
[TS]
02:01:51
◼
►
bit of information and you know the
[TS]
02:01:52
◼
►
template like when you go on national
[TS]
02:01:53
◼
►
news you want to have something and

02:01:55
◼
►

[TS]
02:01:57
◼
►
thing he's bringing with him as like the
[TS]
02:01:59
◼
►
you know the carrot for the things I'll
[TS]
02:02:00
◼
►
reveal some news that had ever talked
[TS]
02:02:01
◼
►
about for well i'm here to announce that
[TS]
02:02:03
◼
►
apple's going to build you know one of
[TS]
02:02:05
◼
►
their lines of computers entirely in the
[TS]
02:02:07
◼
►
US we're just you know friendly national
[TS]
02:02:08
◼
►
media rara don't build things in china
[TS]
02:02:11
◼
►
the labor disputes bring jobs back
[TS]
02:02:13
◼
►
United States blah blah blah but all
[TS]
02:02:14
◼
►
nine yards right and so philip
[TS]
02:02:16
◼
►
elmer-dewitt had this article in fortune
[TS]
02:02:17
◼
►
which lays out a whole bunch of reasons
[TS]
02:02:19
◼
►
whether why it would be the mac pro he's
[TS]
02:02:23
◼
►
saying that you know they said they're
[TS]
02:02:25
◼
►
going to spend a hundred billion dollars
[TS]
02:02:26
◼
►
and he's saying 100 million dollar
[TS]
02:02:27
◼
►
factory puts about a million units a
[TS]
02:02:29
◼
►
year and the only computer the Apple
[TS]
02:02:30
◼
►
sells a paltry million units a year of
[TS]
02:02:32
◼
►
is the mac pro it's heavier so shipping
[TS]
02:02:36
◼
►
costs you know or more it's easier to
[TS]
02:02:38
◼
►
assemble because the pieces aren't is
[TS]
02:02:40
◼
►
small if labor costs are more here you
[TS]
02:02:42
◼
►
can make that up with the fat margin
[TS]
02:02:44
◼
►
that you get on a Mac Pro more than you
[TS]
02:02:45
◼
►
couldn't a small all these reasons make
[TS]
02:02:47
◼
►
sense although our friend film are so it
[TS]
02:02:50
◼
►
makes the mistake of saying Apple
[TS]
02:02:52
◼
►
through a spokesperson and through Tim
[TS]
02:02:54
◼
►
Cook himself has already indicated that
[TS]
02:02:57
◼
►
will be producing a new mac pro in 2013
[TS]
02:02:59
◼
►
and as I've taken great pains to
[TS]
02:03:01
◼
►
emphasize many times he did not say
[TS]
02:03:02
◼
►
he'll be making your mac pro in 13 2013
[TS]
02:03:05
◼
►
he said he'd be making something the
[TS]
02:03:06
◼
►
customers who are disappointed with the
[TS]
02:03:07
◼
►
reason i'm at updates of the mac pro
[TS]
02:03:09
◼
►
might like presumably that's a new mac
[TS]
02:03:11
◼
►
pro but that is a presumption ah so in
[TS]
02:03:15
◼
►
the beginning I was not on board with
[TS]
02:03:16
◼
►
thinking that this made in the USA think
[TS]
02:03:18
◼
►
is gonna be a mac pro because I'm
[TS]
02:03:19
◼
►
thinking I my thought was that they
[TS]
02:03:21
◼
►
don't sell enough mac pros for that to
[TS]
02:03:23
◼
►
be remotely worthwhile like if you're
[TS]
02:03:24
◼
►
gonna make something in the US you got
[TS]
02:03:26
◼
►
to make it something that actually sells
[TS]
02:03:27
◼
►
in volume don't make it a mac pro uh but
[TS]
02:03:30
◼
►
looking at these numbers assuming philip
[TS]
02:03:32
◼
►
elmer-dewitt is correct with these
[TS]
02:03:33
◼
►
numbers may be it may be does all fit uh
[TS]
02:03:35
◼
►
I don't care for the record I do not
[TS]
02:03:37
◼
►
care where my replacement for mac pro is
[TS]
02:03:40
◼
►

02:03:43
◼
►
