today's Friday it is an exciting week
[TS]
00:00:53
◼

and has been a lot of stuff a lot of
[TS]
00:00:56
◼
►
stuff happened
[TS]
00:00:59
◼
►
that's true anything you want to talk
[TS]
00:01:02
◼
►
about I think there is why why you lower
[TS]
00:01:05
◼

volume today I could be louder if you'd
[TS]
00:01:08
◼

like oh maybe it might just be my

anything on your end not a thing
[TS]
00:01:13
◼

but I can I can boost the signal if
[TS]
00:01:15
◼

you'd like should I edit this Audi when
[TS]
00:01:20
◼

we leave this in it's part of the show
[TS]
00:01:21
◼

it's up to you I'm just I like it it's
[TS]
00:01:24
◼

real fascinated when things change the
[TS]
00:01:28
◼
►
more the more things change the more
[TS]
00:01:29
◼
►
they stay the same
[TS]
00:01:30
◼
►
alright we got a lot of stuff to get to
[TS]
00:01:31
◼
►
let's do it I'm actually going to start
[TS]
00:01:34
◼
►
with a bunch of follow up on file
[TS]
00:01:37
◼
►
systems I know it usually try to keep my
[TS]
00:01:39
◼
►
topics that might have minority interest
[TS]
00:01:41
◼
►
let's say to two shows or fewer usually
[TS]
00:01:44
◼
►
one show on the topic and then maybe one
[TS]
00:01:45
◼
►
show full of follow-up and then try to
[TS]
00:01:47
◼
►
cut it off kind of like a dip with the
[TS]
00:01:49
◼
►
video game controllers but there's still
[TS]
00:01:52
◼
►
too much you could follow up on the file
[TS]
00:01:54
◼
►
system stuff so yeah we will eventually
[TS]
00:01:57
◼
►
get talking about the iPad don't worry
[TS]
00:01:59
◼
►
but I do want to go through the last
[TS]
00:02:03
◼
►
batch of file system follow-up before I
[TS]
00:02:05
◼
►
get to that I can't believe there was a
[TS]
00:02:06
◼
►
any follow up there was lots lots of
[TS]
00:02:11
◼
►
them alright so first one is from this
[TS]
00:02:17
◼
►
is a email from Adam milky I talked
[TS]
00:02:22
◼
►
about ZFS deduplication I think in the
[TS]
00:02:24
◼
►
last episode and I mentioned the show
[TS]
00:02:27
◼
►
that I didn't know whether it happened
[TS]
00:02:28
◼
►
at the time you did i/o
[TS]
00:02:30
◼
►
or at a later point and it was some job
[TS]
00:02:32
◼
►
that went deduplicated lots of
[TS]
00:02:34
◼
►
enterprise storage products do that
[TS]
00:02:36
◼
►
after the fact deduping well they will
[TS]
00:02:38
◼
►
just crawl over your disk and find the
[TS]
00:02:39
◼
►
blocks that are common and discard all
[TS]
00:02:41
◼
►
but one of them ZFS deduplication
[TS]
00:02:44
◼
►
actually is synchronous so what happens
[TS]
00:02:47
◼
►
when you do the i/o and there's a
[TS]
00:02:49
◼
►
significant memory overhead to it
[TS]
00:02:51
◼
►
because it has to keep track of all the
[TS]
00:02:53
◼
►
different check sums and everything to
[TS]
00:02:55
◼
►
be able to quickly determine if there
[TS]
00:02:56
◼
►
are duplicates and it happens
[TS]
00:02:59
◼
►
differently the rationale given on on
[TS]
00:03:01
◼
►
the on the blog entry area this is that
[TS]
00:03:05
◼
►
they assume that CPUs have many cores
[TS]
00:03:08
◼
►
and the CPU cost of searching through
[TS]
00:03:10
◼
►
that table and finding people you get
[TS]
00:03:13
◼
►
they'll have plenty time to do that
[TS]
00:03:14
◼
►
because IO is always going to be much
[TS]
00:03:16
◼
►
slower than CPU and then the number of
[TS]
00:03:18
◼
►
CPU cores keeps proliferating and he
[TS]
00:03:21
◼
►
also had a point about that Solaris has
[TS]
00:03:25
◼
►
a sort of time machine like mechanism
[TS]
00:03:27
◼
►
that uses ZFS the last shot we talked
[TS]
00:03:29
◼
►
about how Time Machine could be made
[TS]
00:03:30
◼
►
more efficient by using some of the
[TS]
00:03:32
◼
►
features of ZFS and Oracle has done
[TS]
00:03:35
◼
►
something very similar to that they have
[TS]
00:03:36
◼
►
something they call time slider I've
[TS]
00:03:38
◼
►
linked it in the show notes that is a
[TS]
00:03:41
◼
►
typical kind of Unix Linux II interface
[TS]
00:03:44
◼
►
so there's no big fancy starfield and
[TS]
00:03:46
◼
►
windows going back into the distance but
[TS]
00:03:47
◼
►
it's like a slider control for going
[TS]
00:03:49
◼
►
back in time to look at all of your
[TS]
00:03:51
◼
►
different files and it's built on ZFS
[TS]
00:03:52
◼
►
snapshots and all the stuff we talked
[TS]
00:03:54
◼
►
about on the last show we also discussed
[TS]
00:03:59
◼
►
on the last show in the context of SSDs
[TS]
00:04:02
◼
►
the idea of this distinction we have
[TS]
00:04:05
◼
►
between memory and disk and how as disks
[TS]
00:04:08
◼
►
stop becoming actual spinning disks and
[TS]
00:04:11
◼
►
start becoming memory chips how they're
[TS]
00:04:13
◼
►
the storage hierarchy could be unified
[TS]
00:04:16
◼
►
into one model and I mentioned this
[TS]
00:04:19
◼
►
wasn't a new idea and Hugh Fischer wrote
[TS]
00:04:21
◼
►
to tell me that a specific instance of
[TS]
00:04:23
◼
►
this being done in the past in the 70s
[TS]
00:04:28
◼
►
IBM developed a series of machines and I
[TS]
00:04:32
◼
►
think they're still selling them called
[TS]
00:04:33
◼
►
system 38 and the as400 line I've only
[TS]
00:04:36
◼
►
ever heard of as400 system 38 looks
[TS]
00:04:37
◼
►
vaguely familiar
[TS]
00:04:39
◼
►
they do do this that have a unified
[TS]
00:04:41
◼
►
memory filesystem type of model so there
[TS]
00:04:45
◼
►
you go it's happening it's happening
[TS]
00:04:47
◼
►
long ago and it continues to happen but
[TS]
00:04:49
◼
►
certainly not in the PC space
[TS]
00:04:51
◼
►
Sean Cohen writes in that palm OS of all
[TS]
00:04:54
◼
►
things actually had a unified memory
[TS]
00:04:55
◼
►
model back in 1.0 mostly because they
[TS]
00:04:59
◼
►
all they had was Ram this is from the B
[TS]
00:05:02
◼
►
palm wiki palm OS 1.0 does not
[TS]
00:05:05
◼
►
differentiate between RAM and filesystem
[TS]
00:05:06
◼
►
storage applications are installed
[TS]
00:05:07
◼
►
directly into RAM and executed in place
[TS]
00:05:10
◼
►
so that's that's neat that actually kind
[TS]
00:05:13
◼
►
of went away when pomalyst 4.0 was
[TS]
00:05:15
◼
►
introduced and it started to look more
[TS]
00:05:16
◼
►
like a file system in RAM there was also
[TS]
00:05:18
◼
►
ROM in the original palm you don't hear
[TS]
00:05:20
◼
►
much about ROM these days but the
[TS]
00:05:22
◼
►
original Mac and many older computers
[TS]
00:05:24
◼
►
had some read-only chips they can
[TS]
00:05:27
◼
►
like based version of the operating
[TS]
00:05:28
◼
►
system or some routines that are always
[TS]
00:05:30
◼
►
going to be used by the operon system
[TS]
00:05:32
◼
►
just so they'd have to take up precious
[TS]
00:05:33
◼
►
ram with that information because the
[TS]
00:05:35
◼
►
RAM was more expensive than Rome ah Rick
[TS]
00:05:40
◼
►
Faribault writes to tell me that modern
[TS]
00:05:43
◼
►
hard disk drives do have their own error
[TS]
00:05:46
◼
►
correcting mechanism built into them so
[TS]
00:05:48
◼
►
they use a ECC fields on the sectors on
[TS]
00:05:50
◼
►
the disk and try to detect and correct
[TS]
00:05:53
◼
►
errors of various kinds he apparently
[TS]
00:05:57
◼
►
began his career in the 70s at IBM and
[TS]
00:06:00
◼
►
worked on the disk drive group worked on
[TS]
00:06:02
◼
►
the Winchester family of drives remember
[TS]
00:06:04
◼
►
that name from Shirley sure of course
[TS]
00:06:07
◼
►
yeah uh and he worked on making disk
[TS]
00:06:10
◼
►
drives work with the IBM 370 / 135 I
[TS]
00:06:14
◼
►
love IBM's product names it's always
[TS]
00:06:15
◼
►
letter a number / other letter and
[TS]
00:06:17
◼
►
number Oh
[TS]
00:06:19
◼
►
he also says his son listens to the show
[TS]
00:06:21
◼
►
so hello Rick son your dad is pretty
[TS]
00:06:27

Andrew Richard pointed me to a talk by
[TS]
00:06:31
◼
►
Abby Miller of Oracle at the Linux conf
[TS]
00:06:34
◼
►
au the Australian Linux conference in
[TS]
00:06:36
◼
►
2012 in January this is a very recent
[TS]
00:06:38
◼
►
talk the title of the talk was I can't
[TS]
00:06:42
◼
►
believe this is butter at or btrfs but
[TS]
00:06:45
◼
►
it's not btrfs it's butter FS but I keep
[TS]
00:06:47
◼
►
saying BTR I don't feel so bad about
[TS]
00:06:48
◼
►
saying btrfs because I watched this
[TS]
00:06:50
◼
►
video and in the video the presenter
[TS]
00:06:53
◼
►
frequently is typing at the command line
[TS]
00:06:54
◼
►
and the command line tool for fiddling
[TS]
00:06:57
◼
►
with butter FS is called btrfs so he's
[TS]
00:07:01
◼
►
speaking as he's typing trying to say
[TS]
00:07:03
◼
►
okay and I'll just type it put his buddy
[TS]
00:07:05
◼
►
you think he would say I'll just type
[TS]
00:07:06
◼
►
butter FS space list space - whatever
[TS]
00:07:10
◼
►
you know is but he says btrfs because
[TS]
00:07:13
◼
►
he's actually typed in the letters BTR
[TS]
00:07:14
◼
►
you can't bring himself to say butter so
[TS]
00:07:16
◼
►
i don't feel so bad about flubbing the
[TS]
00:07:18
◼
►
name so much but the reason I bring up
[TS]
00:07:20
◼
►
this video and it's in the show notes is
[TS]
00:07:21
◼
►
one I think it's pretty neat and the guy
[TS]
00:07:23
◼
►
is this has a fun personality it's not a
[TS]
00:07:28
◼
►
very dry presentation and at the end of
[TS]
00:07:31
◼
►
it they did something that I had never
[TS]
00:07:32
◼
►
heard of that I thought was a phrase
[TS]
00:07:35
◼
►
that I can't use in this program but
[TS]
00:07:37
◼
►
let's say pretty neat
[TS]
00:07:39
◼
►
he had an ext2 file system and he said
[TS]
00:07:43
◼
►
I'm going to show you how you can
[TS]
00:07:44
◼
►
convert this to butter FS and the way
[TS]
00:07:47
◼
►
the conversion works he didn't go into
[TS]
00:07:49
◼
►
technical details so I'm going to make
[TS]
00:07:50
◼
►
some speculation about the actual under
[TS]
00:07:51
◼
►
the technical underpinnings but the the
[TS]
00:07:53
◼
►
end effect is what he demonstrated the
[TS]
00:07:56
◼
►
the way it does this is it initializes a
[TS]
00:08:00
◼
►
BTR but RFS file system on top of your
[TS]
00:08:03
◼
►
existing the xt2 file system by making
[TS]
00:08:07
◼
►
all the metadata structures to point to
[TS]
00:08:08
◼
►
the data on disk but the data that it
[TS]
00:08:10
◼
►
points to is all the data where it
[TS]
00:08:12
◼
►
existed in ext2 file system so it
[TS]
00:08:14
◼
►
doesn't modify your ext2 file system at
[TS]
00:08:16
◼
►
all it just makes a bunch of new
[TS]
00:08:18
◼
►
metadata that says ok this is over here
[TS]
00:08:20
◼
►
that's over there this piece of this
[TS]
00:08:21
◼
►
files over here this is the information
[TS]
00:08:22
◼
►
about this file and when it's done doing
[TS]
00:08:26
◼
►
that and you reboot and then you reboot
[TS]
00:08:29
◼
►
to tell you at the edit the HDFS tab and
[TS]
00:08:32
◼
►
tell it that your file system is now but
[TS]
00:08:34
◼
►
er FS it's not ext2 anymore because had
[TS]
00:08:36
◼
►
already written information so you can
[TS]
00:08:37
◼
►
boot from this and when you boot it
[TS]
00:08:38
◼
►
looks like you have a brand new but er
[TS]
00:08:41
◼
►
FS file system with a snapshot and the
[TS]
00:08:44
◼
►
snapshot points to the exact state it
[TS]
00:08:46
◼
►
was before you did the conversion and
[TS]
00:08:50
◼
►
you know and then he you know he
[TS]
00:08:52
◼
►
installed a bunch of stuff and showed
[TS]
00:08:53
◼
►
how because this is butter FS we can
[TS]
00:08:54
◼
►
roll back because we have a snapshot and
[TS]
00:08:56
◼
►
all those other stuff but what you can
[TS]
00:08:58
◼
►
actually do is roll back to the very
[TS]
00:09:00
◼
►
first snapshot and in the very first
[TS]
00:09:02
◼
►
snapshot your file system was the XD to
[TS]
00:09:04
◼
►
us you can roll it back to the exact
[TS]
00:09:07
◼
►
point at which you converted the volume
[TS]
00:09:08
◼
►
and it will become an ext to file system
[TS]
00:09:11
◼
►
again it doesn't actually do this in the
[TS]
00:09:13
◼
►
video but the point is that you've
[TS]
00:09:16
◼
►
non-destructively changed your entire
[TS]
00:09:18
◼
►
file system and the reason you can do
[TS]
00:09:20
◼
►
that of course is because but our FS is
[TS]
00:09:22
◼
►
copy and write is never going to
[TS]
00:09:23
◼
►
overwrite the the blocks that make up
[TS]
00:09:26
◼
►
that ext2 file system leaves all of it
[TS]
00:09:28
◼
►
exactly as it is on the disk and just
[TS]
00:09:29
◼
►
writes new data to different locations
[TS]
00:09:31
◼
►
and so it's it's kind of you know once
[TS]
00:09:35
◼
►
you go back to the very very last nap
[TS]
00:09:36
◼
►
shot and you remove all the all the
[TS]
00:09:38
◼
►
butter FS stuff what you're left with is
[TS]
00:09:39
◼
►
a valid ext to volume that you can boot
[TS]
00:09:42
◼
►
from I thought that was amazing and a
[TS]
00:09:44
◼
►
really fun consequence of copy and write
[TS]

file system can look like it's another

00:09:53

because we will just point to all the
[TS]
00:09:55
◼

same data in the same location so that
[TS]
00:09:57

was cool so thank you Andrew for

FreeBSD s dragonfly hammer file system
[TS]
00:10:08
◼

I've heard of it I have not ever read
[TS]
00:10:10
◼

much about it I put the link in the show
[TS]
00:10:12
◼

notes to the page on the dragonfly bsd
[TS]
00:10:14
◼

org site that describes it it has a lot
[TS]
00:10:19

of the similar features that we've been

the things you would expect it doesn't I
[TS]
00:10:32
◼

didn't look into the tech specs enough I
[TS]
00:10:34
◼
►
assume it's kind of like a copy-on-write
[TS]
00:10:35
◼
►
buzzes and because that's the only
[TS]
00:10:36
◼
►
reasonable way to support all these
[TS]
00:10:38
◼
►
features but it didn't say explicitly
[TS]
00:10:40
◼

but that is another option of the free
[TS]
00:10:42
◼

option for if you're trying to set up a

00:10:44
◼

reliable and redundant take a look at

you a big freebsd user you never never
[TS]
00:10:59

never I mean at least love FreeBSD we

used to use that for all of our non

switch the Solaris to remember that I do

not remember that but we're all using

France beat FreeBSD now and if there are

00:11:20
◼

then we know it or not underneath there
[TS]
00:11:22
◼

a lot of the same code whether you like

00:11:24
◼

it or not yeah Steve Schreiber writes in

to tell me that he listened he listened
[TS]
00:11:30
◼

to the whole show by file systems and
[TS]
00:11:32
◼

got all upset about HFS boss the but
[TS]
00:11:34
◼

then he said he we never told him what
[TS]
00:11:36
◼
►
steps we take to mitigate this problem
[TS]
00:11:38
◼
►
of HFS getting corrupted and stuff like
[TS]
00:11:41
◼
►
that so for all people who are wondering
[TS]
00:11:43
◼
►
what should I do about it now that
[TS]
00:11:44
◼
►
you've heard all these bad things but
[TS]
00:11:45
◼

[TS]
00:11:50
◼

called backup vortex the summary of the
[TS]
00:11:53

advice in there is have multiple backups
[TS]
00:11:56
◼

in different physical locations
[TS]
00:11:58
◼
►
I do time machine to onedrive SuperDuper
[TS]
00:12:00
◼
►
to another plus I use a cloud backup
[TS]
00:12:02
◼
►
service I use Backblaze for one of my
[TS]
00:12:04
◼
►
computers and use CrashPlan for the
[TS]
00:12:06
◼

that takes care of having your data
[TS]
00:12:08
◼
►
backed up for combating H of s file
[TS]
00:12:12
◼
►
system corruption I run Disk Utility
[TS]
00:12:16
◼
►
pretty regularly not on a fixed schedule
[TS]
00:12:18
◼
►
or anything but every once in a while
[TS]
00:12:21
◼
►
when I get that feeling I'm not going to
[TS]
00:12:22
◼
►
be in front of the computer for a while
[TS]
00:12:23
◼
►
I will fire up Disk Utility and run
[TS]
00:12:26
◼
►
repair disk and I'll run repair disk on
[TS]
00:12:28
◼
►
my time machine volume I'll run it on my
[TS]
00:12:29
◼
►
SuperDuper volume and then I'll run
[TS]
00:12:31
◼
►
verify on my boot volume and verify
[TS]
00:12:33
◼
►
finds an error I'll reboot from one of
[TS]
00:12:34
◼
►
the other ones and repaired just doing
[TS]
00:12:37
◼
►
that you know people ask is that
[TS]
00:12:38
◼
►
something you should do regularly I
[TS]
00:12:39
◼
►
wouldn't do it every day or maybe not
[TS]
00:12:42
◼
►
even every week because it is highly i/o
[TS]
00:12:43
◼
►
intensive and you could be you know
[TS]
00:12:44
◼
►
wearing out here drive with all this
[TS]
00:12:46
◼
►
extra i/o and it takes forever and
[TS]
00:12:48
◼
►
especially when you do your boot disk it
[TS]
00:12:50
◼
►
locks things up for a long time
[TS]
00:12:52
◼
►
but I would put that as one of your
[TS]
00:12:54
◼
►
regular maintenance things unlike some
[TS]
00:12:56
◼
►
voodoo like resetting your pee Ram or
[TS]
00:12:58
◼
►
repairing permissions or stuff like that
[TS]
00:13:00
◼
►
like you want this to find no errors you
[TS]
00:13:02
◼
►
want this to be a no op but I suggest
[TS]
00:13:04
◼
►
running it because pretty frequently I
[TS]
00:13:06
◼
►
run it and it finds a little problem and
[TS]
00:13:08
◼
►
fixes it and it's much better to fix
[TS]
00:13:09
◼
►
those little things as you go than to
[TS]
00:13:12
◼
►
wait until they accumulate and maybe
[TS]
00:13:14
◼
►
they can't be repaired or I've caused
[TS]
00:13:16
◼
►
some problem already and of course what
[TS]
00:13:19
◼
►
can I do about the bits actually
[TS]
00:13:20
◼
►
flipping on the disk because of cosmic
[TS]
00:13:21
◼
►
rays or other you know or just things
[TS]
00:13:24
◼
►
going bad it's not much I can do about
[TS]
00:13:25
◼
►
that it's not much anyone can do about
[TS]
00:13:27
◼
►
until we get the quote-unquote end end
[TS]
00:13:30
◼
►
data integrity oh and speaking of Rick
[TS]
00:13:34
◼
►
Faribault's comments about the the ECC
[TS]
00:13:36
◼
►
things on drives that's all true with it
[TS]
00:13:38
◼
►
but one of the points of ZFS is that its
[TS]
00:13:40
◼
►
end-to-end data integrity that's their
[TS]
00:13:41
◼
►
slogan which means that all that the the
[TS]
00:13:45
◼
►
error correcting on the drive itself
[TS]
00:13:46
◼
►
means is that the drive can tell well I
[TS]
00:13:48
◼
►
was presented with this data and I wrote
[TS]
00:13:51
◼
►
it to disk and I can try to be sure
[TS]
00:13:53
◼
►
about that but there can be bugs in
[TS]
00:13:55
◼
►
other layers of the storage stacked like
[TS]
00:13:56
◼
►
for example just the disk controller or
[TS]
00:13:58
◼
►
a crimped SATA cable or anything like
[TS]
00:14:01
◼
►
that will affect what appears to the
[TS]
00:14:02
◼
►
drive so if bad data gets the drive and
[TS]
00:14:05
◼
►
the drive dutifully records that bad
[TS]
00:14:07
◼
►
data it's that's not helpful to you so
[TS]
00:14:09
◼
►
ZFS is trying to say if there's any
[TS]
00:14:11
◼
►
problem anywhere in the chain of the
[TS]
00:14:13
◼
►
storage stack we will detect it that's
[TS]
00:14:14
◼
►
the intent data integrity promise of ZFS
[TS]
00:14:16
◼
►
so that's why I responded him and said
[TS]
00:14:18
◼
►
that the error correcting codes on
[TS]
00:14:20
◼
►
this drives are good but not sufficient
[TS]
00:14:23
◼
►
to ensure that your data actually is
[TS]
00:14:25
◼
►
what you expected to be all right that
[TS]
00:14:27
◼
►
was pretty quick but that was the file
[TS]
00:14:28
◼
►
system follow-up I had four and
[TS]
00:14:31
◼
►
hopefully we the last of it
[TS]
00:14:34
◼
►
it's not so bad yeah that's actually
[TS]
00:14:38
◼
►
some of the shortest follow-up and maybe
[TS]
00:14:39
◼
►
you've ever done kudos a lot of entries
[TS]
00:14:41
◼
►
but I went through it quickly I think so
[TS]
00:14:45
◼
►
ready to talk about the Apple event I
[TS]
00:14:48
◼
►
would love to talk about this event did
[TS]
00:14:50
◼
►
you I know that you have a people may
[TS]
00:14:52
◼
►
not realize this but you are neither
[TS]
00:14:54
◼
►

[TS]
00:14:57
◼
►
full time as a writer for four Ars
[TS]
00:15:00
◼
►
Technica you are full time in a mystery
[TS]
00:15:02
◼

company you're a big big come your
[TS]
00:15:04
◼
►
company man corporate stooge and dude
[TS]
00:15:07
◼
►
well I'm it's the polite term that's the
[TS]
00:15:11
◼
►
plight when I don't know that he'd be
[TS]
00:15:12
◼
►
impolite one oh you go to your you're a
[TS]
00:15:14
◼
►
working stiff stiff isn't it's not
[TS]
00:15:17
◼
►
getting better okay yet so and so how
[TS]
00:15:20
◼
►
did you see did you watch it when you
[TS]
00:15:22
◼
►
got home were you there were you
[TS]
00:15:23
◼
►
following along online did your boss
[TS]
00:15:24
◼
►
know you were doing this I do wonder
[TS]
00:15:27
◼
►
though sometimes if people assume that I
[TS]
00:15:28
◼
►
have three full time jobs or two full
[TS]
00:15:30
◼
►
time jobs is even two of those it seems
[TS]
00:15:32
◼
►
like look how could you possibly I don't
[TS]
00:15:33
◼
►
know anyway yes are you right that's not
[TS]
00:15:35
◼
►
I was at work during the day
[TS]
00:15:37
◼
►
I followed along tangentially in the
[TS]
00:15:39
◼
►
live blogs you know like the little
[TS]
00:15:40
◼
►
streaming thing of text but I didn't get
[TS]
00:15:42
◼
►
to actually watch the video until I came
[TS]
00:15:44
◼
►
home and the kids were in bed and so on
[TS]
00:15:46
◼
►
and so forth
[TS]
00:15:47
◼
►
so that that's how I watched but getting
[TS]
00:15:51
◼
►
the news is enough you know and speaking
[TS]
00:15:53
◼
►
of the video but a lot of people have
[TS]
00:15:54
◼
►
asked that I tweeted several times about
[TS]
00:15:57
◼
►
my trials and tribulations trying to get
[TS]
00:16:00
◼
►
a high quality version of the video
[TS]
00:16:03
◼
►
because Apple will post it on its
[TS]
00:16:05
◼
►
website but I usually put like a web
[TS]
00:16:06
◼
►
friendly bird and it's not so big and
[TS]
00:16:08
◼
►
and sometimes they have the super ultra
[TS]
00:16:10
◼
►
high def high quality version hiding
[TS]
00:16:13
◼
►
somewhere and I always try to ferret it
[TS]
00:16:15
◼
►
out so I put links in the show notes to
[TS]
00:16:19
◼
►
the embedded video on Apple's website if
[TS]
00:16:21
◼
►
you haven't seen this presentation and
[TS]
00:16:22
◼
►
you want to watch it you can just go and
[TS]
00:16:23
◼
►
it's on the website you can watch it if
[TS]
00:16:25
◼
►
you want a higher definition version of
[TS]
00:16:27
◼
►
it and you want to be able to download
[TS]
00:16:28
◼
►
it not just stream it in your browser
[TS]
00:16:30
◼
►
Apple has video podcast
[TS]
00:16:34
◼
►
feeds for its keynote presentations and
[TS]
00:16:38
◼
►
they recently reintroduced in HD one so
[TS]
00:16:40
◼
►
I provided a link to the Apple keynotes
[TS]
00:16:43
◼
►
HD video podcast feed it's still not as
[TS]
00:16:47
◼
►
high-quality as occasionally you can
[TS]
00:16:48
◼
►
find when they're like streaming it live
[TS]
00:16:50
◼
►
and you can you know dig into the
[TS]
00:16:51
◼
►
QuickTime files and find the actual
[TS]
00:16:54
◼
►
things that they're referencing in the
[TS]
00:16:55
◼
►
CDN and pull down the dot TS files then
[TS]
00:16:58
◼
►
cat them together there's a whole I've
[TS]
00:17:00
◼
►
done some crazy things because I like to
[TS]
00:17:02
◼
►
have high quality archived version of
[TS]
00:17:03
◼
►
this video but the HD video feed is what
[TS]
00:17:06
◼
►
I suggest if you want to just have a
[TS]
00:17:07
◼
►
nice downloadable copy that you can
[TS]
00:17:08
◼
►
scrub around and peek it stuff and
[TS]
00:17:12
◼
►
before we talk about the products in it
[TS]
00:17:14
◼
►
is this was this the first major product
[TS]
00:17:17
◼
►
announcement without Steve being there I
[TS]
00:17:18
◼
►
can't I don't remember anymore well then
[TS]
00:17:20
◼
►
now I mean major in the sense that it
[TS]
00:17:23
◼
►
was new I I guess so I mean there was
[TS]
00:17:25
◼
►
the iPhone 4s wasn't that announced
[TS]
00:17:28
◼
►
while he was still alive and and toward
[TS]
00:17:31
◼
►
the end there my memory so bad I don't
[TS]
00:17:33
◼
►
know but did one of the things I noted
[TS]
00:17:35
◼
►
it from watching in his house you know
[TS]
00:17:37
◼
►
is the first time it struck me about how
[TS]
00:17:39
◼
►
the presentation is different with Steve
[TS]
00:17:41
◼
►
not here and the main difference was
[TS]
00:17:43
◼
►
that I'll be his portions of the keynote
[TS]
00:17:49
◼
►
presentations were imbued with his
[TS]
00:17:52
◼
►
personality that's true of all the
[TS]
00:17:53
◼
►
presenters out there it's just that his
[TS]
00:17:56
◼
►
personality was different than their so
[TS]
00:17:57
◼
►
you know Phil Schiller his personality
[TS]
00:17:59
◼
►
is kind of you know goofy and fun and
[TS]
00:18:01
◼
►
he's always been like that in his
[TS]
00:18:02
◼
►
section of the presentation is like that
[TS]
00:18:04
◼
►
and Tim Cook is very professional and
[TS]
00:18:08
◼
►
he's all business and he's very serious
[TS]
00:18:09
◼
►
and he's you know intense when he talks
[TS]
00:18:12
◼
►
about the stuff that he's going to talk
[TS]
00:18:14
◼
►
about and now Tim Cook has taken over a
[TS]
00:18:17
◼
►
lot of the same stuff the jobs has done
[TS]
00:18:18
◼
►
including the ending thing where he
[TS]
00:18:20
◼
►
comes back on stage and puts the palms
[TS]
00:18:22
◼
►
of his hands together and says something
[TS]
00:18:24
◼
►
meaningful about the company as a whole
[TS]
00:18:27
◼
►
the thing I really missed about jobs
[TS]
00:18:29
◼
►
being there is that he was always just
[TS]
00:18:32
◼
►
so kind of snarky about competitors like
[TS]
00:18:36
◼
►
there was never there was never the
[TS]
00:18:38
◼
►
moment in the presentation where he's
[TS]
00:18:41
◼
►
got some formal formal things where he's
[TS]
00:18:42
◼
►
talking about the slides and you know a
[TS]
00:18:43
◼
►
great display and we really think this
[TS]
00:18:45
◼
►
is a great blah blah and there's always
[TS]
00:18:47
◼
►
that part

complete lack of inside info I guess I

[TS]
00:23:40
◼

the things I said last week you asked
[TS]
00:23:42
◼
►
about the Apple TV that I think there
[TS]
00:23:43
◼
►
would be something else something not
[TS]
00:23:46
◼
►
alluded to on the invitation
[TS]
00:23:48
◼
►
specifically about a TV thing I thought
[TS]
00:23:50
◼
►
the emphasis would be on the iPad and if
[TS]
00:23:52
◼
►
they had anything about Apple TV would
[TS]
00:23:54
◼
►
just be a new one of those little black
[TS]
00:23:55
◼
►
boxes with bumps specks and maybe some
[TS]
00:23:57
◼
►
1080p content to play on it and lo and
[TS]
00:23:59
◼
►
behold that's what we got a new black
[TS]
00:24:01
◼
►
box 1080p support and as I think I've
[TS]
00:24:05
◼
►
said on past shows I was gonna wait to
[TS]
00:24:07
◼
►
get an Apple TV until the new one came

00:24:17
◼
►
hopeful or you just said you know what
[TS]
00:24:19
◼
►
if I if I get a new one now I know this
[TS]
00:24:22
◼
►

[TS]
00:24:23
◼
►

[TS]
00:24:26
◼
►
that only did 720 because I my
[TS]
00:24:28
◼
►
televisions are all 1080p why would I
[TS]
00:24:30
◼
►
buy something like that 720 I wanted as
[TS]
00:24:34
◼
►
I also wanted as a Netflix box because
[TS]
00:24:36
◼
►
well Netflix doesn't even scream 1080p I
[TS]
00:24:38
◼
►
don't think anyway it's just on
[TS]
00:24:39
◼
►
principle why would I ever buy something
[TS]
00:24:41
◼
►
doesn't do 1080p I don't think it's out
[TS]
00:24:43
◼
►
of the realm like even the cheapest
[TS]
00:24:45
◼
►
Costco you know television sets
[TS]
00:24:48
◼
►
bargain basement things do 1080p these
[TS]
00:24:51
◼
►

[TS]
00:24:53
◼
►
to do 1080 subs no I was never gonna buy
[TS]
00:24:55
◼
►
a 720 only Apple TV I really hope they
[TS]
00:24:59
◼
►
would add a Bluetooth remote they didn't
[TS]
00:25:01
◼
►
but the up-res stuff is enough for me so
[TS]
00:25:03
◼
►
I ballin and I plan to use it as a
[TS]
00:25:06
◼
►
Netflix box basically because I have so
[TS]
00:25:08
◼
►
many things that stream Netflix but this
[TS]
00:25:10
◼
►
one has no fans in it and the TiVo the
[TS]
00:25:13
◼
►
TiVo Netflix streaming I was now
[TS]
00:25:15
◼
►
unusable for me because it's just so
[TS]
00:25:18
◼
►
slow and unreliable and crashy so I
[TS]
00:25:20
◼
►
would like to be able to stream Netflix
[TS]
00:25:22
◼
►
without turning on the ps3 and I use the
[TS]
00:25:24
◼
►
Apple TV do then and now I can finally
[TS]
00:25:26
◼
►
do airplay stuff and also the
[TS]
00:25:28
◼
►
things that you get with the appellee
[TS]
00:25:29
◼
►
view that I thought were neat but
[TS]
00:25:30
◼
►
wouldn't be reason for me to buy it
[TS]
00:25:32
◼
►
alone something John our friend John
[TS]
00:25:33
◼
►
Gruber pointed out is that you can now
[TS]
00:25:35
◼
►
sign up for Netflix all on the Apple TV
[TS]
00:25:39
◼
►
that you're in the past you have to go
[TS]
00:25:41
◼
►
to their website sign up create it and
[TS]
00:25:42
◼
►
then you'd go and you take your username
[TS]
00:25:44
◼
►
and password go to the Apple TV enter it
[TS]
00:25:47
◼
►
in there you no longer have to do that
[TS]
00:25:48
◼
►
you can create your account and my
[TS]
00:25:50
◼
►
understanding is that it actually will
[TS]
00:25:52
◼
►
bill you through your iTunes account
[TS]
00:25:53
◼
►
that you're not it's it's not like
[TS]
00:25:56
◼
►
you're now going to get a separate bill
[TS]
00:25:57
◼
►
that Netflix is billing through that and
[TS]
00:25:59
◼
►
that you can do the same thing for those
[TS]
00:26:01
◼
►
of us who are baseball fans you can do
[TS]
00:26:04
◼
►
the same thing with the MLB at bat and I
[TS]
00:26:06
◼
►
believe there's a couple other
[TS]
00:26:07
◼
►
subscription services that you can now
[TS]
00:26:08
◼
►
access and sign up right through the
[TS]
00:26:11
◼
►
Apple TV and have billed through your
[TS]
00:26:13
◼
►
iTunes account can you imagine what kind
[TS]
00:26:15
◼
►
of deal Apple must be getting for
[TS]
00:26:16
◼
►
Netflix like what cut of the of the
[TS]
00:26:19
◼
►
subscriptions or some sort of per
[TS]
00:26:21
◼
►
customer fee because man like Netflix is
[TS]
00:26:24
◼
►
asking Apple I know you have your own
[TS]
00:26:26
◼
►
service where you you know provide video
[TS]
00:26:29
◼
►
for money over this box so we'd like to
[TS]
00:26:31
◼
►
be on there too and you know customers
[TS]
00:26:32
◼
►
like us so can we get on your thing and
[TS]
00:26:34
◼
►
use your billing system because it
[TS]
00:26:35
◼
►
really reduces friction Apple Ike all
[TS]
00:26:38
◼
►
right but we're going to take who knows
[TS]
00:26:40
◼
►
what that business deal is but I'm
[TS]
00:26:41
◼
►
Netflix is getting the short end of that
[TS]
00:26:43
◼
►
it monetarily but it's still probably
[TS]
00:26:45
◼
►
worth it to them to get access to those
[TS]
00:26:47
◼
►
customers I definitely think and I think
[TS]
00:26:49
◼
►
it I think Apple should be very pleased
[TS]
00:26:52
◼
►
whether they are on the better end of
[TS]
00:26:55
◼
►
that deal or not simply because there
[TS]
00:26:57
◼
►
are people like you who you know for
[TS]
00:27:00
◼
►
whom Netflix is a huge selling point in
[TS]
00:27:02
◼
►
fact we have we have two Apple TV's
[TS]
00:27:05
◼
►
right now and one of them is is pretty
[TS]
00:27:08
◼
►
much dedicated just for my kid to watch
[TS]
00:27:10
◼
►
the Netflix stuff on it like that's it
[TS]
00:27:12
◼
►

you can simply project your games right
[TS]
00:27:30
◼
►
up there on the screen now there's a
[TS]
00:27:32
◼
►
little bit of a delay in a lag but if
[TS]
00:27:34
◼
►
you've ever had your kid wanting to
[TS]
00:27:35
◼
►
watch you play a game like maybe the
[TS]
00:27:36
◼
►
game is too advanced for your kid
[TS]
00:27:38
◼
►
although that that seems reverse mostly
[TS]
00:27:41
◼
►
kids are better and stuff but there's a
[TS]
00:27:43
◼
►
few games that I have that my
[TS]
00:27:44
◼
►
four-year-old likes to watch me play as
[TS]
00:27:46
◼
►
opposed to playing himself you just put
[TS]
00:27:48
◼
►
those right on the TV you can sit next
[TS]
00:27:49
◼
►
and watch it's great
[TS]
00:27:50
◼
►
I think I'll mostly try using it for
[TS]
00:27:53
◼
►
like showing photos and videos because
[TS]
00:27:56
◼
►
right now I can do that in ten different
[TS]
00:27:57
◼
►
ways I can show them from the ps3 I can
[TS]
00:27:59
◼
►
you know I have to go to the computer
[TS]
00:28:01
◼
►
and set up iPhoto and then I folk export
[TS]
00:28:03
◼
►
them and then various things can read
[TS]
00:28:05
◼
►
them on the TiVo or on the ps3 it's so
[TS]
00:28:07
◼
►
much easier if I could just do that
[TS]
00:28:08
◼
►
wirelessly oh yeah in the same room with
[TS]
00:28:11
◼
►
an iOS - by sitting in front of the
[TS]
00:28:13
◼
►
thing - just put up some pictures and
[TS]
00:28:14
◼
►
from a different room John if you want
[TS]
00:28:16
◼
►
yeah or car now with like with photo
[TS]
00:28:18
◼
►
stream and the new iPhoto for iOS now I
[TS]
00:28:20
◼
►
actually have access like my actual
[TS]
00:28:22
◼
►
photo so this this will be great I think
[TS]
00:28:24
◼
►
will be a good addition to the this set
[TS]
00:28:26
◼
►
of stuff I've have in my house so the
[TS]
00:28:28
◼
►
iPad my predictions on that were
[TS]
00:28:31
◼
►
pregnant displayed I knew that I thought
[TS]
00:28:34
◼
►
it would have the same case a little bit
[TS]
00:28:35
◼
►
thicker that was heavily rumored also
[TS]
00:28:37
◼
►
true we talked a little bit about the
[TS]
00:28:38
◼
►
dock connector whether they replace it I
[TS]
00:28:40
◼
►
said same dock connector that was right
[TS]
00:28:41
◼
►
on pricing I said I thought the pricing
[TS]
00:28:44
◼
►
would be the same and they would push
[TS]
00:28:45
◼
►
down by continuing to sell the iPad -
[TS]
00:28:47
◼
►
that's exactly what they did I said that
[TS]
00:28:49
◼
►
I thought Apple should push upwards but
[TS]
00:28:51
◼
►
they were afraid - and lo and behold
[TS]
00:28:53
◼
►
they didn't there is no 128 gigabyte
[TS]
00:28:55
◼
►
model top end price is the same as the
[TS]
00:28:57
◼
►
previous top end price the CPU I thought
[TS]
00:29:00
◼
►
I thought that the a6 wasn't ready and
[TS]
00:29:02
◼
►
it wouldn't be quad-core and lo and
[TS]
00:29:04
◼
►
behold it is the a 5x as rumored it is
[TS]
00:29:06
◼
►
dual-core but they wanted to have
[TS]
00:29:08
◼
►
quad-core somewhere in the presentation
[TS]
00:29:09
◼
►
and on the spec stage so they said
[TS]
00:29:10
◼
►
quad-core GPU we're really core counting
[TS]
00:29:14
◼
►
is not the way GPUs tend to be measured
[TS]
00:29:16
◼
►
these days but but that was an
[TS]
00:29:19
◼
►
interesting bit of marketing needed
[TS]
00:29:20
◼
►
their cameras I said I thought they had
[TS]
00:29:23
◼
►
to find some way to try to get some of
[TS]
00:29:26
◼
►
their markings back so I did not think
[TS]
00:29:27
◼
►
they would have the iPhone 4s camera in
[TS]
00:29:30
◼
►
the iPad in fact I said I thought I
[TS]
00:29:31
◼
►
wouldn't be surprised they didn't change
[TS]
00:29:32
◼
►
the cameras at all
[TS]
00:29:33
◼
►
well they didn't change the front one
[TS]
00:29:35
◼
►
it's exactly the same VGA FaceTime
[TS]
00:29:37
◼
►
camera there was that and the back one
[TS]
00:29:39
◼
►
has the 4s
[TS]
00:29:40
◼
►
optics the optics from the iPhone 4s
[TS]
00:29:42
◼
►
camera but not the same sensor it's 5
[TS]
00:29:45
◼
►
megapixels instead of 8 megapixels so
[TS]
00:29:47
◼
►
they sort of split the difference there
[TS]
00:29:49
◼
►
so I'm feeling pretty good about what I
[TS]
00:29:52
◼
►
thought was going to happen and what
[TS]
00:29:54
◼
►
they actually did what the
[TS]
00:29:55
◼
►
my big miss was the one I walked about
[TS]
00:29:57
◼
►
in the beginning I said that previously
[TS]
00:29:59
◼
►
I was so sure that they were not going
[TS]
00:30:00
◼
►
to do LTE but that in recent weeks I was
[TS]
00:30:03
◼
►
feeling more doubtful about that I stuck
[TS]
00:30:05
◼
►
to my guns and I said I think no LTE
[TS]
00:30:07
◼
►
well I was wrong on that one and I was
[TS]
00:30:10
◼
►
right to doubt it because they have LTE
[TS]
00:30:14
◼
►
and I find it a little bit surprising
[TS]
00:30:17
◼
►
mostly because I thought the power
[TS]
00:30:20
◼
►
consumption would just be too much but
[TS]
00:30:21
◼
►
that battery that they jammed in there
[TS]
00:30:23
◼
►
is supposedly a 70% higher capacity it's
[TS]
00:30:26
◼
►
not like you know like they made it like
[TS]
00:30:28
◼
►
less than a millimeter thicker so you're
[TS]
00:30:29
◼
►
like oh how much bigger could the
[TS]
00:30:31
◼
►
battery be how much more capacity could
[TS]
00:30:32
◼
►
possibly have you know 10% 15%
[TS]
00:30:34
◼
►
apparently has 70% more capacity so
[TS]
00:30:36
◼
►
those chips in that screen really are
[TS]
00:30:38
◼
►
sucking juice and they they solved that
[TS]
00:30:40
◼
►
problem by just jamming in more battery
[TS]
00:30:42
◼
►
it makes me wonder I guess for the next
[TS]
00:30:46
◼
►
year for the next model you would assume
[TS]
00:30:48
◼
►
they're going to go back to starting to
[TS]
00:30:49
◼
►
get thinner again and the way they'll do
[TS]
00:30:51
◼
►
that is not by increases in battery
[TS]
00:30:53
◼
►
technology because battery technology
[TS]
00:30:55
◼
►
increases very slowly but by new
[TS]
00:30:57
◼
►
chipsets that consume a lot less power
[TS]
00:30:59
◼
►
than the current LTE chipsets and maybe
[TS]
00:31:02
◼
►
reducing the power of the screen if they
[TS]
00:31:03
◼
►
possibly can
[TS]
00:31:04
◼
►
but not so much by saying ah now we have
[TS]
00:31:06
◼
►
a battery that's the same size but twice
[TS]
00:31:07
◼
►
the capacity that doesn't happen really
[TS]
00:31:09
◼
►
that would be quite a breakthrough in
[TS]
00:31:11
◼
►
battery technology so Apple is running
[TS]
00:31:13
◼
►
up against physics with the amount of
[TS]
00:31:14
◼
►
stuff they're jamming in here which is
[TS]
00:31:16
◼
►
another reason I think they should
[TS]
00:31:17
◼
►
consider going up scale to possibly have
[TS]
00:31:22
◼
►
I don't know I don't know how this I've
[TS]
00:31:24
◼
►
thought about this a lot I don't really
[TS]
00:31:25
◼
►
see a way out for them but I I think
[TS]
00:31:28
◼
►
long term the idea of an iPad is larger
[TS]
00:31:31
◼
►
than 10 inches starts to become
[TS]
00:31:34
◼
►
something Apple has to consider and do
[TS]
00:31:36
◼
►
and at that point you can fit all sorts
[TS]
00:31:39
◼
►
of things in there and battery life can
[TS]
00:31:40
◼
►
expand greatly and now you're talking
[TS]
00:31:42
◼
►
about like a professional pad we're not
[TS]
00:31:44
◼
►
there yet we're not even close to there
[TS]
00:31:46
◼
►
yet and we the real problem is how would
[TS]
00:31:47
◼
►
software work you know considering if
[TS]
00:31:50
◼
►
you try to keep similar sizes for
[TS]
00:31:53
◼
►
everything now a regular iPad app is
[TS]
00:31:56
◼
►
smaller in the center of the screen you
[TS]
00:31:57
◼
►
have to have these iPad pro apps that
[TS]
00:31:59
◼
►
are bigger that I think this will happen
[TS]
00:32:00
◼
►
someday but not this year not next year
[TS]
00:32:02
◼
►
and maybe not the year after that we did
[TS]
00:32:05
◼
►
talk about the name briefly you asked me
[TS]
00:32:07
◼
►
what I thought the name was I
[TS]
00:32:09
◼
►
went back to the podcast and listened to
[TS]
00:32:10
◼
►
see exactly what I said what I said
[TS]
00:32:12
◼
►
my first reaction of the name is I'm not
[TS]
00:32:14
◼
►
really interested in that because it's
[TS]
00:32:16
◼
►
not going to change the product that's
[TS]
00:32:18
◼
►
apparently Apple's not really interested
[TS]
00:32:20
◼
►
in the name either because they they
[TS]
00:32:23
◼
►
pumped it on that uh when press was you
[TS]
00:32:27
◼
►
essentially not going to commit to a
[TS]
00:32:28
◼
►
name I said that I thought if the case
[TS]
00:32:29
◼
►
was thicker than they would go with
[TS]
00:32:30
◼
►
three but it was exactly the same case
[TS]
00:32:32
◼
►
they get away with two s they decided to
[TS]
00:32:35
◼
►
go with no name at all and what I
[TS]
00:32:37
◼
►
tweeted during the presentation was like
[TS]
00:32:38
◼
►
the Apple in in the jobs two era has
[TS]
00:32:42
◼
►
been very anti speck where they didn't
[TS]
00:32:48
◼
►
want to compete on specs anymore because
[TS]
00:32:49
◼
►
they kept getting burned competing on
[TS]
00:32:50
◼
►
specs they would and the PC world was
[TS]
00:32:52
◼
►
all about the numbers and if if you show
[TS]
00:32:55
◼
►
all your numbers you are sort of
[TS]
00:32:59
◼
►
accepting that this is how products are
[TS]
00:33:01
◼
►
compared you put them in a big table you
[TS]
00:33:03
◼
►
say how many megahertz how many
[TS]
00:33:04
◼
►
megabytes you know battery life screen
[TS]
00:33:06
◼
►
size you just do the specs and say oh
[TS]
00:33:08
◼
►
well for the ascent and then the price
[TS]
00:33:09
◼
►
is the big number you say well for that
[TS]
00:33:11
◼
►
same price I can get a PC that has
[TS]
00:33:13
◼
►
better this better that better that
[TS]
00:33:14
◼
►
because the numbers are bigger and if
[TS]
00:33:16
◼
►
you keep playing that game apples always
[TS]
00:33:18
◼
►
going to lose there because they they
[TS]
00:33:21
◼
►
value different things and they put
[TS]
00:33:22
◼
►
their money towards different things
[TS]
00:33:23
◼
►
like yeah you know does this laptop a
[TS]
00:33:25
◼
►
case yes checkmark case case seems like
[TS]
00:33:28
◼
►
they're equal right well the Apple would
[TS]
00:33:29
◼
►
spend all this money on these cases made
[TS]
00:33:31
◼
►
of titanium or whatever and that is not
[TS]
00:33:33
◼
►
represented by a checkmark and so yeah
[TS]
00:33:35
◼
►
their CPU was slower the batterer your
[TS]
00:33:37
◼
►
life was worse but the other parts were
[TS]
00:33:39
◼
►
unaccounted for so Apple said you know
[TS]
00:33:40
◼
►
we're just not going to talk about that
[TS]
00:33:42
◼
►
anymore
[TS]
00:33:42
◼
►
starting specifically with the iOS
[TS]
00:33:44
◼
►
devices we're having to tell you what
[TS]
00:33:45
◼
►
CPU is in it Ram yeah they have RAM but
[TS]
00:33:48
◼
►
that's all we're going to tell you or I
[TS]
00:33:49
◼
►
can tell you how much RAM is in them
[TS]
00:33:51
◼
►
they really only wanted to focus on the
[TS]
00:33:53
◼
►
spec so they think matter to consumer is
[TS]
00:33:54
◼
►
like battery life or how long will the
[TS]
00:33:56
◼
►
battery last they don't tell you what
[TS]
00:33:58
◼
►
battery technology they're using or
[TS]
00:33:59
◼
►
anything like that when it suits them
[TS]
00:34:02
◼
►
they will tout specs that they think
[TS]
00:34:04
◼
►
they're ahead on hey the Retina display
[TS]
00:34:06
◼
►
look this resolution is bigger than HD
[TS]
00:34:08
◼
►
quad-core GPU that's meaningless quote a
[TS]
00:34:11
◼
►
quad-core GPU means nothing to anyone
[TS]
00:34:13
◼
►
but it sounds fancy and they need some
[TS]
00:34:15
◼
►
way to talk about the fact that the a5
[TS]
00:34:17
◼
►
has fewer doesn't have four cores
[TS]
00:34:20
◼
►
because they touted the a5 dual-core
[TS]
00:34:21
◼
►
bits like hey this is
[TS]
00:34:22
◼
►
back we camped out twice as fast dual
[TS]
00:34:24
◼
►
core whatever but they just don't want
[TS]
00:34:27
◼
►
to play that spec game at and you know
[TS]
00:34:29
◼
►
they only want to they only want to play
[TS]
00:34:31
◼
►
it when for any specific narrow
[TS]
00:34:33
◼
►
instances where they can win uh and that
[TS]
00:34:37
◼
►
philosophy is served them well moving
[TS]
00:34:39
◼
►
the conversation from you know don't buy
[TS]
00:34:42
◼
►
that iPad because you can buy a Zune
[TS]
00:34:44
◼
►
that has more megahertz you know I think
[TS]
00:34:46
◼
►
it's silly conversations like that and
[TS]
00:34:48
◼
►
even in the PC space talking less about
[TS]
00:34:50
◼
►
the specs on the PCs and more about the
[TS]
00:34:53
◼
►
the intangibles well as it turns out
[TS]
00:34:55
◼
►
there's one other number that Apple
[TS]
00:34:57
◼
►
needs to expunge from their product line
[TS]
00:34:59
◼
►
and that is the number after the product
[TS]
00:35:02
◼
►
iPhone 4 iPhone 4s iPhone 3G that one
[TS]
00:35:08
◼
►
little place where they let in eighth a
[TS]
00:35:10
◼
►
number that you need to increase that
[TS]
00:35:12
◼
►
they let that creep into their product
[TS]
00:35:14
◼
►
lines and they learned I think a hard
[TS]
00:35:15
◼
►
lesson with the 4s where they said you
[TS]
00:35:17
◼
►
know we're not going to call us the
[TS]
00:35:18
◼
►
iPhone 5 we're going to call it the 4s
[TS]
00:35:20
◼
►
same thing with 3G and 3GS and I just
[TS]
00:35:22
◼
►
kept getting slammed because the number
[TS]
00:35:23
◼
►
wasn't one bigger it's like well last
[TS]
00:35:25
◼
►
year was a four and now it's still a
[TS]
00:35:27
◼
►
four but there's a letter shouldn't it
[TS]
00:35:29
◼
►
be a five you know it's a spinal tap
[TS]
00:35:31
◼
►
well that's one louder isn't it but this
[TS]
00:35:33
◼
►
one isn't one louder it's just got an S
[TS]
00:35:35
◼
►
on the end and so Happold head you know
[TS]
00:35:37
◼
►
what fine if you guys can't handle you
[TS]
00:35:39
◼
►
know that if that suddenly becomes how
[TS]
00:35:41
◼

we're judged and how public perception
[TS]
00:35:43

support system the particular machine

comments and everything so there were
[TS]
00:38:11
◼

two unique ways to identify your think
[TS]
00:38:12
◼

one of them was techie and nonsensical
[TS]
00:38:14
◼

you know the MacBook Pro 8 comma 2 is

of the thing or the dual USB iBook all
[TS]
00:38:28

sorts of weird phrases to differentiate
[TS]
00:38:29
◼
►
it from the previous one and then
[TS]
00:38:32
◼
►
finally was is the product name itself
[TS]
00:38:34
◼
►
and even on the iPad even though it was
[TS]
00:38:36
◼
►
called the iPad 2 and they use iPad 2 to

00:38:38
◼
►
the marking material when you bought one
[TS]
00:38:39
◼

in the store it comes in a package that

00:38:40
◼

says iPad on it doesn't say iPad to any
[TS]
00:38:42
◼

or on the package and same thing with

the iPods the iPod Nano gap applied a

note to the iPod Nano 3 the iPod Nano 4

new iPod nanos and they didn't put
[TS]
00:38:52
◼

numbers on them and they were you know
[TS]
00:38:53
◼

they had product numbers and names and
[TS]
00:38:55
◼
►
all this stuff where they could be you
[TS]
00:38:56
◼
►
could identified - so the name thing
[TS]
00:38:58
◼
►
just boggles my mind that I I'm not
[TS]
00:39:01
◼
►
surprised that people have the distil
[TS]
00:39:03
◼
►
reaction of all where's the number like
[TS]
00:39:04
◼
►
that's natural it's natural to have that
[TS]
00:39:06
◼
►
immediate reaction but once you've had
[TS]
00:39:08
◼
►
the 5-10 minutes to talk about it and
[TS]
00:39:10
◼
►
once you've seen the obvious rebuttals
[TS]
00:39:11
◼
►
I'm amazed that people don't find those
[TS]
00:39:14
◼
►
convincing and it continued to go well I
[TS]
00:39:16
◼
►
think it's Jap numbers really really
[TS]
00:39:17
◼
►
done let's see what else we have here
[TS]
00:39:23
◼
►
Ram we never talked about RAM when we
[TS]
00:39:26
◼
►
were talking about predictions to the
[TS]
00:39:27
◼
►
show Matt or maybe we did in a remember
[TS]
00:39:30
◼
►
I don't think we did actually
[TS]
00:39:31
◼
►
so Apple does another spec that Apple
[TS]
00:39:33
◼
►
doesn't talk about they don't they don't
[TS]
00:39:34
◼
►
obey Ram in the pressroom room
[TS]
00:39:36
◼
►
afterwards when the press goes in there
[TS]
00:39:38
◼
►
and gets to talk to the Apple people are
[TS]
00:39:40
◼
►
stacked nigga and other publications who
[TS]
00:39:41
◼
►
are read by nerds dutifully ask every
[TS]
00:39:43
◼
►
time how much RAM does it have and the
[TS]
00:39:46
◼
►
Apple people do beautifully today we're
[TS]
00:39:47
◼
►
not talking about that today or whatever
[TS]
00:39:48
◼
►
the hell they're you know polite no
[TS]
00:39:52
◼
►
comment answers that's that's so silly
[TS]
00:39:55
◼
►
and strange like the fact that they
[TS]
00:39:57
◼
►
don't talk about it fine they don't they
[TS]
00:39:59
◼
►
don't think that's something I'd
[TS]
00:39:59
◼
►
emphasize don't don't talk about it in
[TS]
00:40:01
◼
►
the event but afterwards in the press
[TS]
00:40:03
◼
►
room when some nerdy publication is
[TS]
00:40:05
◼
►
asking you just tell them how much
[TS]
00:40:07
◼
►
friend has it's not like they're not
[TS]
00:40:09
◼
►
gonna find out on March 16th they're all
[TS]
00:40:11
◼
►
gonna get the machines or I'm gonna fire
[TS]
00:40:12
◼
►
them up and load the little dinky piece
[TS]
00:40:13
◼
►
of software that measures the RAM and
[TS]
00:40:15
◼
►
say and tell us how much ram it has and
[TS]
00:40:17
◼
►
you know we have a pretty good guess now
[TS]
00:40:19
◼
►
anyway everyone seems to think it's one
[TS]
00:40:20
◼
►
gigabyte why not just tell us for sure
[TS]
00:40:22
◼
►
why I leave this you know what what does
[TS]
00:40:25
◼
►
Apple gain by obstinately refusing to
[TS]
00:40:29
◼
►
tell us this when asked don't listen I
[TS]
00:40:32
◼
►
respect Paige don't advertise don't put
[TS]
00:40:34
◼
►
it in the presentation but when asked
[TS]
00:40:35
◼
►
directly by a practicin for some obscure
[TS]
00:40:37
◼
►
nerdy publication just tell them it's
[TS]
00:40:39
◼
►
not you know it's not telling us does
[TS]
00:40:42
◼
►
not make this information not known it's
[TS]
00:40:44
◼
►
just like a spiteful two-week delay in
[TS]
00:40:48
◼
►
us finding out for sure and similarly
[TS]
00:40:51
◼
►
there was a another weird thing where
[TS]
00:40:53
◼
►
apparently in the press room people were
[TS]
00:40:55
◼
►
asking about the weight like is this
[TS]
00:40:57
◼
►
weigh the same as the previous iPad and
[TS]
00:40:58
◼
►
the Apple people kept saying that it did
[TS]
00:41:01
◼
►
weigh the same but it doesn't weigh the
[TS]
00:41:03
◼
►
I mean on Apple's own speck on that if
[TS]
00:41:05
◼
►
you were to go to their website I think
[TS]
00:41:07
◼
►
and look it up you can get a spec that
[TS]
00:41:08
◼
►
says that it doesn't weigh the same up
[TS]
00:41:10
◼
►
but in the pressroom people were saying
[TS]
00:41:11
◼
►
it weigh the same so why would Apple's
[TS]
00:41:14
◼
►
press people be saying something that's
[TS]
00:41:16
◼
►
contradicted by their own spec sheets
[TS]
00:41:17
◼
►
and that and again as soon as people get
[TS]
00:41:20
◼
►
them they can put them on a scale and
[TS]
00:41:22
◼
►
it's not like we're not going to know
[TS]
00:41:23
◼
►
which one weighs more and somehow by
[TS]
00:41:25
◼
►
Apple not telling us that weighs
[TS]
00:41:27
◼
►
slightly more than the other one that
[TS]
00:41:28
◼
►
you know so I was thinking about that
[TS]
00:41:30
◼
►
one is they could just be mistaken and
[TS]
00:41:31
◼
►
they didn't know about the weight
[TS]
00:41:32
◼
►
difference the second one is that there
[TS]
00:41:35
◼
►
is no real downside for them telling you
[TS]
00:41:37
◼
►
it weighs the same because telling you
[TS]
00:41:38
◼
►
weighs the same even if they know it to
[TS]
00:41:40
◼
►
be not true is good because it deflects
[TS]
00:41:43
◼
►
the story for the for the publications
[TS]
00:41:45
◼
►
that don't that aren't read by nerd like
[TS]
00:41:47
◼
►
USA Today asked at an apple spokesperson
[TS]
00:41:49
◼
►
does this weigh the same as the iPad 2
[TS]
00:41:51
◼
►
and the Apple spokesperson says yes the
[TS]
00:41:52
◼
►
USA Today person publishes that case
[TS]
00:41:55
◼
►
that I don't care I asked the Apple
[TS]
00:41:57
◼
►
representative they said wait that
[TS]
00:41:58
◼
►
becomes an on point in their stories
[TS]
00:42:01
◼
►
even like the New York Times The Wall
[TS]
00:42:02
◼
►
Street Journal if the apple spokesperson
[TS]
00:42:03
◼
►
say weighs the same maybe maybe Walt
[TS]
00:42:05
◼
►
Mossberg would be picky about that and
[TS]
00:42:08
◼
►
sale actually doesn't weigh the same but
[TS]
00:42:09
◼
►
for a lot of publications I'll just
[TS]
00:42:11
◼
►
print what Apple tells them so that's
[TS]
00:42:12
◼
►
upside for Apple because it deflects the
[TS]
00:42:13
◼
►
story from talking about how this is
[TS]
00:42:15
◼
►
slightly heavier and if you know and
[TS]
00:42:18
◼
►
when eventually people get the things in
[TS]
00:42:19
◼
►
weigh them or they go and look at the
[TS]
00:42:20
◼
►
spec sheet and see that it's different
[TS]
00:42:21
◼
►
and they call them on say hey Apple you
[TS]
00:42:23
◼
►
said these weigh the same Apple said
[TS]
00:42:24
◼
►
well come on it's like 80 grams it's
[TS]
00:42:26
◼
►
basically the same and that's true it is
[TS]
00:42:28
◼
►
basically the same which is why Apple
[TS]
00:42:29
◼
►
thinks it's a non-story and why they
[TS]
00:42:31
◼
►
don't want people to talk about it so
[TS]
00:42:33
◼
►
that could be a slightly evil PR
[TS]
00:42:36
◼
►
strategy to say look if we just tell
[TS]
00:42:37
◼
►
them it weighs the same it just makes
[TS]
00:42:39
◼
►
things easier that the Nerds you want to
[TS]
00:42:41
◼
►
know we're going to find out anyway and
[TS]
00:42:42
◼
►
so what and the people who don't know
[TS]
00:42:43
◼
►
it's basically the same anyway let's not
[TS]
00:42:45
◼
►
make this a story the other thing was
[TS]
00:42:48
◼
►
the thickness they in the presentation
[TS]
00:42:51
◼
►
they showed what the thickness was and
[TS]
00:42:53
◼
►
you can look up an Apple spec sheet what
[TS]
00:42:55
◼
►
this because of the iPad 2 was and
[TS]
00:42:56
◼
►
compare the two numbers but they didn't
[TS]
00:42:58
◼
►
make a big point out of it in the press
[TS]
00:43:01
◼
►
room they wouldn't allow any of the
[TS]
00:43:03
◼
►
press to take out their own iPad 2 as
[TS]
00:43:05
◼
►
which I'm sure all had and lay them down
[TS]
00:43:08
◼
►
next to the iPad 3 to do all those
[TS]
00:43:09
◼
►
pictures like let me take a picture with
[TS]
00:43:10
◼
►
my iPhone here's the iPad 2 is def ad 3
[TS]
00:43:13
◼
►
from the press room you can look at it
[TS]
00:43:14
◼
►
from the side and see which one is a
[TS]
00:43:15
◼
►
little bit thicker everyone
[TS]
00:43:17
◼
►
going to do those pictures once they get
[TS]
00:43:18
◼
►
their units to do the real reviews Apple
[TS]
00:43:21
◼
►
I guess didn't want those pictures to
[TS]
00:43:22
◼
►
happen now and the excuse they gave was
[TS]
00:43:24
◼
►
like well the iPad 2 looks so much like
[TS]
00:43:26
◼
►
the iPad 3 and we don't want people
[TS]
00:43:28
◼
►
taking these things out of the room
[TS]
00:43:30
◼
►
which I seems like it makes sense it's a
[TS]
00:43:34
◼
►
good kind of PR II type excuse but if
[TS]
00:43:37
◼
►
you think about it for a couple seconds
[TS]
00:43:38
◼
►
just like well maybe if you're inviting
[TS]
00:43:41
◼
►
press to your events who you think might
[TS]
00:43:44
◼
►
steal the iPad 3 maybe don't invite
[TS]
00:43:45
◼
►
those guys next time that's a little bit
[TS]
00:43:48
◼
►
of a glib answer because you could say
[TS]
00:43:50
◼
►
well if we knew they were going to steal
[TS]
00:43:51
◼
►
that we wouldn't invite them but we know
[TS]
00:43:53
◼
►
we won't find out until the first person
[TS]
00:43:55
◼
►
steals one and then it's too late so
[TS]
00:43:58
◼
►
really we would rather not let you have
[TS]
00:43:59
◼
►
things like that so the test of this
[TS]
00:44:01
◼
►
will be next year when the iPad whatever
[TS]
00:44:05
◼
►
the new iPad comes out and it presumably
[TS]
00:44:08
◼
►
it is thinner than the current one or
[TS]
00:44:10
◼
►
maybe at least stays the same weight or
[TS]
00:44:12
◼
►
Apple does have anything to hide about
[TS]
00:44:14
◼
►
the thickness will then it become
[TS]
00:44:16
◼
►
acceptable for the press to put their
[TS]
00:44:19
◼
►
own iPad 3's next to the new ones and
[TS]
00:44:20
◼
►
take photographs of it as these are all
[TS]
00:44:24
◼
►
things you can ask Gruber about because
[TS]
00:44:26
◼
►
he's actually in that room but I'm just
[TS]
00:44:27
◼
►
going on you know reports that I've read
[TS]
00:44:29
◼
►
from other people who are in the room
[TS]
00:44:31
◼
►
but it's just weird Apple PR is weird
[TS]
00:44:34
◼
►
sometimes they're weird with a purpose I
[TS]
00:44:36
◼
►
think all the things they're doing here
[TS]
00:44:37
◼
►
I can imagine
[TS]
00:44:39
◼
►
reasonable purposes for it and not
[TS]
00:44:41
◼
►
saying the way it's the same not
[TS]
00:44:43
◼
►
allowing pictures side-by-side not not
[TS]
00:44:45
◼
►
telling people the RAM is the toughest
[TS]
00:44:46
◼
►
one that I had that I can you know
[TS]
00:44:48
◼
►
figure out and especially since you've
[TS]
00:44:50
◼
►
doubled the RAM like if it really is 1
[TS]
00:44:53
◼
►
gigabyte going up from 512 answer that
[TS]
00:44:56
◼
►
question it's all there's only upside
[TS]
00:44:57
◼
►
really I know you don't want to
[TS]
00:44:59
◼
►
emphasize the RAM but I think just
[TS]
00:45:00
◼
►
telling publications in the press room
[TS]
00:45:03
◼
►
is ok you're not offering that
[TS]
00:45:06
◼
►
information but when they specifically
[TS]
00:45:07
◼
►
ask for it just tell them the answer
[TS]
00:45:08
◼
►
it's silly not to we're going to find
[TS]
00:45:10
◼
►
out as soon as we get the unit's anyway
[TS]
00:45:13
◼
►
face time versus eyesight did you notice
[TS]
00:45:15
◼
►
this in the presentation yeah there is
[TS]
00:45:17
◼
►
an iSight camera specifically something
[TS]
00:45:20
◼
►
identified as an iSight camera yeah and
[TS]
00:45:22
◼
►
this is the thing you miss like when I
[TS]
00:45:24
◼
►
was at work watching the live blogs go
[TS]
00:45:26
◼
►
by a window on the side these nuances
[TS]
00:45:28
◼
►
aren't expressed that
[TS]
00:45:30
◼
►
in one of the transcripts typed through
[TS]
00:45:31
◼
►
it I sighed and I thought it was funny
[TS]
00:45:33
◼
►
to use eyesight but when you watch the
[TS]
00:45:34
◼
►
actual presentation Phil Schiller says I
[TS]
00:45:36
◼
►
will read his exact words here even
[TS]
00:45:39
◼
►
though they're a little weird when the
[TS]
00:45:40
◼
►
camera that gets when when the camera
[TS]
00:45:42
◼
►
gets of such quality and capability that
[TS]
00:45:44
◼
►
you're proud to use it as your everyday
[TS]
00:45:45
◼
►
camera photographs we call it an iSight
[TS]
00:45:48
◼
►
camera so that sense is in the
[TS]
00:45:49
◼
►
presentation to explain to people who
[TS]
00:45:51
◼
►
are paying attention why they're calling
[TS]
00:45:53
◼
►
is eyesight when previously they were
[TS]
00:45:55
◼
►
calling you know that they didn't have a
[TS]
00:45:56
◼
►
name and they were calling things based
[TS]
00:45:58
◼
►
on so the implication there is that face
[TS]
00:46:00
◼
►
time means only suitable for video
[TS]
00:46:02
◼
►
conferencing so we just want to see your
[TS]
00:46:03
◼
►
face and send it to somebody over a low
[TS]
00:46:05
◼
►
bandwidth connection you use a FaceTime
[TS]
00:46:06
◼
►
camera but once the cameras cross a
[TS]
00:46:08
◼
►
certain threshold of quality that Phil
[TS]
00:46:10
◼
►
has defined as something you're proud to
[TS]
00:46:13
◼
►
use is your everyday camera that's
[TS]
00:46:14
◼
►
there's quite a bit of strange emotional
[TS]
00:46:19
◼
►
connection put up in there it's not
[TS]
00:46:21
◼
►
about quality it's about you being proud
[TS]
00:46:22
◼
►
of it I'm proud to use this as my
[TS]
00:46:24
◼
►
everyday camera what someone would be
[TS]
00:46:26
◼
►
proud to use a gigantic iPad as their
[TS]
00:46:27
◼
►
everyday camera I don't know but at the
[TS]
00:46:29
◼
►
very least it's clear that once the
[TS]
00:46:31
◼
►
quality crosses a certain threshold they
[TS]
00:46:33
◼
►
call it an iSight camera which to me is
[TS]
00:46:35
◼
►
really weird because the birth of the
[TS]
00:46:36
◼
►
eyesight brand was in a camera that sets
[TS]
00:46:39
◼
►
on top of your monitor and faces you for
[TS]
00:46:40
◼
►
the purpose of video conferencing but
[TS]
00:46:41
◼
►
now somehow FaceTime is the camera that
[TS]
00:46:44
◼
►
faces you for the purpose of video
[TS]
00:46:45
◼
►
conferencing and eyesight is the one on
[TS]
00:46:47
◼
►
the back of your devices that's the high
[TS]
00:46:49
◼
►
quality thing that you take videos with
[TS]
00:46:51
◼
►
and pictures with look bit weird you
[TS]
00:46:54
◼
►
know and finally I haven't read this yet
[TS]
00:46:57
◼
►
but I linked it because this stuff is
[TS]
00:46:59
◼
►
usually pretty good and nerdy and text
[TS]
00:47:01
◼
►
coverage of the new iPad is filled with
[TS]
00:47:04
◼
►
specs he for example he lists one
[TS]
00:47:07
◼
►
gigabyte and speculation and information
[TS]
00:47:10
◼
►
about the GPU and all sorts of other
[TS]
00:47:11
◼
►
stuff so I would recommend people read
[TS]
00:47:14
◼
►
that while they're waiting for their
[TS]
00:47:15
◼
►
iPad threes to arrive and yes the the
[TS]
00:47:18
◼
►
marketing name or the AppleCare name or
[TS]
00:47:20
◼
►
the support name not the marketing and
[TS]
00:47:22
◼
►
the support name of the iPad is iPad in
[TS]
00:47:24
◼
►
parentheses third-generation so not very
[TS]
00:47:27
◼
►
confusing if they really do release one
[TS]
00:47:29
◼
►
of these every year it will still be
[TS]
00:47:30
◼
►
very clear which model you have I don't
[TS]
00:47:32
◼
►
know what the the number comma number
[TS]
00:47:35
◼
►
version of it the thing is mary's ipad 3
[TS]
00:47:37
◼
►
comma one or something who knows
[TS]
00:47:42
◼
►
so that's all I think I have on the iPad
[TS]
00:47:44
◼
►
introduction you or your order yours I'm
[TS]
00:47:47
◼
►
I'm still waffling on that hmm I'm gonna
[TS]
00:47:51
◼
►
get one probably I guess kind of what
[TS]
00:47:54
◼
►
I'm waiting for is to see whether I end
[TS]
00:47:58
◼
►
up going to WWDC because if I go I'd
[TS]
00:48:01
◼
►
like to use this as my main device I I
[TS]
00:48:03
◼
►
brought my wife's iPad last year and it
[TS]
00:48:07
◼
►
worked pretty well for me and it was
[TS]
00:48:08
◼
►
certainly easier to carry around the
[TS]
00:48:09
◼
►
MacBook Pro which I also brought so if I
[TS]
00:48:12
◼
►
go I will want to have my new iPad 3
[TS]
00:48:15
◼
►
with me but if I don't go I don't know
[TS]
00:48:20
◼
►
maybe I'll wait a little bit longer I
[TS]
00:48:21
◼
►
also don't like to get the first batch
[TS]
00:48:23
◼
►
of devices there's some sort of problem
[TS]
00:48:25
◼
►
with them or the screens have some sort
[TS]
00:48:27
◼
►
of yellowing thing or the home buttons
[TS]
00:48:28
◼
►
get messed up I just let the early
[TS]
00:48:30
◼
►
adopters work that I know just get it
[TS]
00:48:32
◼
►
replaced under warranty it won't be a
[TS]
00:48:34
◼
►
big deal but I just want the hassle so
[TS]
00:48:35
◼
►
I'm gonna wait on that when I do get one
[TS]
00:48:37
◼
►
I'll probably get a 32 gigabyte black
[TS]
00:48:40
◼
►
Verizon 4G model that is my expectation
[TS]
00:48:45
◼
►
okay good model yeah that's that seems
[TS]
00:48:49
◼
►
to be all of our devices in our house
[TS]
00:48:50
◼
►
are 32 gigs black and if there's 3G on
[TS]
00:48:54
◼
►
them or any kind of cellular technology
[TS]
00:48:56
◼
►
its Verizon that's exactly what what we
[TS]
00:48:59
◼
►
got here there you go good choice yeah I
[TS]
00:49:03
◼
►
heard Marco getting his now he got the
[TS]
00:49:05
◼
►
miramare the millionaire model that's
[TS]
00:49:07
◼
►
what he got that's right
[TS]
00:49:08
◼
►
the millionaire millionaire model which
[TS]
00:49:12
◼
►
is basically the the highest end
[TS]
00:49:14
◼
►
everything max done everything I this is
[TS]
00:49:15
◼
►
the first one 18 t though he did because
[TS]
00:49:18
◼
►
where he lives in in Brooklyn ah-ha that
[TS]
00:49:22
◼
►
apparently service there on AT&T for him
[TS]
00:49:25
◼
►
is phenomenal I don't understand why he
[TS]
00:49:28
◼
►
would be using the I I didn't
[TS]
00:49:30
◼
►
disintegrate any to ask him why would he
[TS]
00:49:31
◼
►
be using the 4G at home but maybe when
[TS]
00:49:34
◼
►
he's out about in town it's better for
[TS]
00:49:37
◼
►
him but I think universally here in the
[TS]
00:49:39
◼
►
US people people report that Verizon
[TS]
00:49:41
◼
►
gets better coverage although maybe the
[TS]
00:49:43
◼
►
speeds on 18 T are better but I don't I
[TS]
00:49:47
◼
►
I don't know if that's the case here's
[TS]
00:49:49
◼
►
another question that that's come in do
[TS]
00:49:51
◼
►
you know if people and
[TS]
00:49:53
◼
►
this doesn't apply to an iPad because
[TS]
00:49:55
◼
►
you can't do calls on an iPad but do you
[TS]
00:49:57
◼
►
know if LTE it shouldn't have that
[TS]
00:50:00
◼
►
limitation for the CDMA users where they
[TS]
00:50:03
◼
►
can't do data and voice at the same time
[TS]
00:50:06
◼
►
again I know you don't do this on an
[TS]
00:50:07
◼
►
iPad but do you know what the status is
[TS]
00:50:09
◼
►
of that I would assume that limitation
[TS]
00:50:11
◼
►
is gone okay that was a believe in
[TS]
00:50:13
◼
►
limitation inheritance CDMA right and
[TS]
00:50:15
◼
►
will not be present at all on LTE and
[TS]
00:50:17
◼
►
that's the other thing like the Verizon
[TS]
00:50:18
◼
►
is like well you probably get better
[TS]
00:50:20
◼
►
coverage but 18 these speeds are better
[TS]
00:50:22
◼
►
when you're in some place with good
[TS]
00:50:23
◼
►
coverage of both but for LTE I don't
[TS]
00:50:26
◼
►
know what the answer is is Verizon's LTE
[TS]
00:50:28
◼
►
just as fast as AT&T is assuming same
[TS]
00:50:30
◼
►
signal strength I don't know I always
[TS]
00:50:31
◼
►
get Verizon because the whole purpose of
[TS]
00:50:34
◼
►
having cellular connection is you are
[TS]
00:50:38
◼
►
away from Wi-Fi and when you're away
[TS]
00:50:40
◼
►
from wipe I want a connection the most
[TS]
00:50:41
◼
►
important thing is not the speed of that
[TS]
00:50:43
◼
►
connection but whether you can get a
[TS]
00:50:44
◼
►
connection and I do not get good signal
[TS]
00:50:46
◼
►
from many cell carriers in my house but
[TS]
00:50:49
◼
►
the only time I ever use 3G on the iPad
[TS]
00:50:53
◼
►
that we have a 3G or my wife's eyes on
[TS]
00:50:55
◼
►
is when we are away from our house on
[TS]
00:50:57
◼
►
vacations come are mostly so we'll buy
[TS]
00:50:59
◼
►
we'll buy a month of 3G when we go on
[TS]
00:51:00
◼
►
vacation to the beach or whatever or if
[TS]
00:51:02
◼
►
we go somewhere I want to use the iPad
[TS]
00:51:04
◼
►
is like a big GPS or something or
[TS]
00:51:05
◼
►
getting from the airport to a hotel and
[TS]
00:51:07
◼
►
you're you know we're in a different
[TS]
00:51:09
◼
►
state we're nowhere near you know so the
[TS]
00:51:10
◼
►
coverage at my house is not that big a
[TS]
00:51:13
◼
►
factor so I just want to have the best
[TS]
00:51:16
◼
►
odds of wherever we happen to go getting
[TS]
00:51:18
◼
►
covered and so I'm going with Verizon
[TS]
00:51:22
◼
►
[Music]
[TS]
00:51:23
◼
►
don't do our second sponsor sure it's
[TS]
00:51:27
◼
►
Rackspace comm more than a hundred
[TS]
00:51:29
◼

thousand businesses trust Rackspace with
[TS]
00:51:31
◼

their hosting and cloud computing most
[TS]
00:51:34

people think when they think of

Rackspace they think okay they have

fanatical support thing that they do

with it make it faster that's what
[TS]
00:52:05

people think of all that's true
[TS]
00:52:07
◼

man they've come a long way since then
[TS]
00:52:08
◼
►
that's that's old-school stuff they've
[TS]
00:52:10
◼

got cloud hosting so you get up and
[TS]
00:52:12
◼

running in minutes they've got you know

[TS]
00:54:23
◼

that problem it also brings to Safari
[TS]
00:54:25
◼
►
what I believe is one of the best
[TS]
00:54:28
◼
►
features of Chrome which is an address
[TS]
00:54:32
◼
►
bar that doubles as a search bar so that
[TS]
00:54:34
◼

you no longer need to hit command L to

00:54:36
◼

get over to the search you just start
[TS]
00:54:38
◼

typing right in the address field and it

[TS]
00:54:53
◼
►

[TS]
00:54:55
◼
►
only time when the fat tab looks silly
[TS]
00:54:57
◼
►
is when it's the only tab or maybe if

►

when a new tab or window opens make it
[TS]
00:55:47
◼
►
active but I uh I don't see a tab but if
[TS]
00:55:50
◼
►
I if well and hold on let me verify that
[TS]
00:55:54
◼
►
I've got another machine here to check
[TS]
00:55:56
◼
►
the the new one running so that's the
[TS]
00:55:59
◼
►
current one now the new beta let me get
[TS]
00:56:01
◼
►
this thing going here you know these
[TS]
00:56:07
◼
►
these little uh these little errors they
[TS]
00:56:10
◼
►
really do start up fast don't they so
[TS]
00:56:12
◼
►
the options on the new the new one are
[TS]
00:56:14
◼
►
identical yeah I don't see they used to
[TS]
00:56:16
◼
►
be a thing that said oh you show tab bar
[TS]
00:56:18
◼
►
yes no and I always turn that off I said
[TS]
00:56:19
◼
►
of course I don't want to see the tab
[TS]
00:56:21
◼
►
bar with only one tab so that option is
[TS]
00:56:23
◼
►
gone and maybe they just changed the
[TS]
00:56:24
◼
►
behavior in five two so now that it does
[TS]
00:56:26
◼
►
show the tab it does it I'm not seeing
[TS]
00:56:28
◼
►
it and and when you open a new window
[TS]
00:56:31
◼
►
there's no tabs if you hit command T to
[TS]
00:56:33
◼
►
start a tab
[TS]
00:56:34
◼
►
you get two tabs one is closed closed
[TS]
00:56:37
◼
►
one of them though and then they both go
[TS]
00:56:38
◼
►
away all right oh so that's normal then
[TS]
00:56:40
◼
►
yeah I've seen the fat tabs the two time
[TS]
00:56:43
◼
►
I've seen it
[TS]
00:56:44
◼
►
Mountain Lion mountain line is Safari
[TS]
00:56:45
◼
►
five - so it has the same behavior III
[TS]
00:56:48
◼
►
think it is you have just the one or I
[TS]
00:56:51
◼
►
guess the two tabs there that does look
[TS]
00:56:52
◼
►
a little silly but really I think it's
[TS]
00:56:55
◼
►
great it you can see the full titles and
[TS]
00:56:57
◼
►
they just get smaller and smaller and
[TS]
00:56:59
◼
►
why would you not want them today you
[TS]
00:57:01
◼
►
don't want because it means that
[TS]
00:57:02
◼
►
clicking on the second tab is a longer
[TS]
00:57:04
◼
►
distance for your cursor to go if you've
[TS]
00:57:07
◼
►
only got your chitters next to the first
[TS]
00:57:08
◼
►
tab and you want to go from the first
[TS]
00:57:10
◼
►
head to the second time you've got to
[TS]
00:57:11
◼
►
travel all across this vast expanse of
[TS]
00:57:13
◼
►
probably empty first tab aha
[TS]
00:57:15
◼
►
that's why and that feels worse if
[TS]
00:57:18
◼
►
you're used to not having to move your
[TS]
00:57:20
◼
►
mouse as much obviously the obvious
[TS]
00:57:22
◼
►
advantages now you can see more of the
[TS]
00:57:23
◼
►
title and that's why you know compromise
[TS]
00:57:25
◼
►
is just shrinking the tabs to contain
[TS]
00:57:27
◼
►
the title plus or minus some some
[TS]
00:57:30
◼
►
fudging that at the title is
[TS]
00:57:31
◼
►
ridiculously long truncated anyway I'm
[TS]
00:57:34
◼
►
sure they'll tweak that stuff I'm not
[TS]
00:57:36
◼
►
too concerned about it I do like that in
[TS]
00:57:38
◼
►
five one they change to the chrome way
[TS]
00:57:41
◼
►
of opening new tabs I really like this
[TS]
00:57:44
◼
►
far away because I was used to it but
[TS]
00:57:46
◼
►
then I use Chrome all the time - and
[TS]
00:57:47
◼
►
then I'm using one browser they pay one
[TS]
00:57:49
◼
►
way one browser behave the other way but
[TS]
00:57:51
◼
►
now my both of my browsers are behaving
[TS]
00:57:52
◼
►
the same way that is opening when you
[TS]
00:57:54
◼
►
open a new tab it opens to the right of
[TS]
00:57:56
◼
►
the tab that spawned it instead of
[TS]
00:57:58
◼
►
always opening at the far out of the
[TS]
00:57:59
◼
►
full list of tabs now that both of my
[TS]
00:58:01
◼
►
browser's do that I find it more
[TS]
00:58:03
◼
►
convenient so I don't have to go all the
[TS]
00:58:04
◼
►
way to the right to find that tab that
[TS]
00:58:05
◼
►
just open that's it's just to the right
[TS]
00:58:07
◼
►
of the one that I opened it from but
[TS]
00:58:11
◼
►
that's that's off topic I do actually
[TS]
00:58:13
◼
►
have a second topic here besides the
[TS]
00:58:15
◼
►
iPad if you think we're done with the
[TS]
00:58:16
◼
►
iPad there was anything else you want to
[TS]
00:58:17
◼
►
talk about I think I think we've one
[TS]
00:58:21
◼
►
do do you anticipate using a case or
[TS]
00:58:24
◼
►
cover free our pen I'm just or anything
[TS]
00:58:25
◼
►
with the listeners life yeah my wife has
[TS]
00:58:28
◼
►
a smart cover for hers I think the smart
[TS]
00:58:30
◼
►
cover has problems the most annoying one
[TS]
00:58:33
◼
►
for me is when I flap it around to the
[TS]
00:58:35
◼
►
back of the thing that the very last
[TS]
00:58:37
◼
►
little bit of it doesn't stick well
[TS]
00:58:39
◼
►
because the back surface of the iPad
[TS]
00:58:41
◼
►
curves away from it and the magnets
[TS]
00:58:43
◼
►
don't quite hold it so I hate that
[TS]
00:58:44
◼
►
little back flap falling down I've tried
[TS]
00:58:46
◼
►
all sorts of other schemes of
[TS]
00:58:48
◼
►
according up the accordion accordion
[TS]
00:58:51
◼
►
hang up the case so it's also crunchy
[TS]
00:58:54
◼
►
underneath your hand I don't like doing
[TS]
00:58:56
◼
►
that either occasionally the magnets
[TS]
00:58:59
◼
►
aren't up to the task of holding the
[TS]
00:59:03
◼
►
thing on when I have an arrangement
[TS]
00:59:04
◼
►
wrangle but for the most part I think
[TS]
00:59:06
◼
►
the Smart Cover has way more pluses than
[TS]
00:59:10
◼
►
minuses so I probably will get a smart
[TS]
00:59:12
◼
►
cover for my iPad but I still also want
[TS]
00:59:14
◼
►
a sleeve to stick it in for further
[TS]
00:59:16
◼
►
protection when I'm not using it so that
[TS]
00:59:18
◼
►
my plan is get a smart cover and then
[TS]
00:59:21
◼
►
find some sort of sleeve that I can slip
[TS]
00:59:24
◼
►
the thing into that will give an extra
[TS]
00:59:25
◼
►
minor protection and then take that
[TS]
00:59:27
◼
►
sleeve and smart cover covered iPad and
[TS]
00:59:28
◼
►
stick it inside you know a bag a laptop
[TS]
00:59:30
◼
►
bag or whatever messenger bag whatever I
[TS]
00:59:32
◼
►
happen to be carrying more likely a
[TS]
00:59:34
◼
►
backpack this is the second topic for
[TS]
00:59:37
◼
►
the show if you think we have time yeah
[TS]
00:59:39
◼
►
let's hit the second time second topic
[TS]
00:59:40
◼

second topic is all my new electronics
[TS]
00:59:44

[TS]
00:59:46
◼

about Wow how do you think we have
[TS]
00:59:50
◼

enough time for that could be that could
[TS]
00:59:51
◼

be huge I could just have one the

connection at home so now I am thirty
[TS]
01:00:04
◼

five megabits up and down you're on the
[TS]
01:00:06
◼
►
for those who don't remember these
[TS]
01:00:07
◼
►
conversations you have FiOS or feet feos
[TS]
01:00:10
◼
►
as you say mm-hm and this is provided to
[TS]
01:00:14
◼
►
you by what company is it as Verizon yes
[TS]
01:00:18
◼
►
and that means you have 35 up and down
[TS]
01:00:21
◼
►
simultaneous yes it's like a paradise
[TS]
01:00:24
◼
►
it's like living you you literally live
[TS]
01:00:26
◼
►
in heaven it's pretty good but you could
[TS]
01:00:30
◼
►
go up to what a hundred 100 by a hundred
[TS]
01:00:32
◼
►
right well it's all I'm sure they will
[TS]
01:00:34
◼
►
keep cranking it up like this is the
[TS]
01:00:36
◼
►
same price as my old 25 15 because they
[TS]
01:00:38
◼
►
just for because of competitive pressure
[TS]
01:00:40
◼
►
because I can also get Comcast here and
[TS]
01:00:41
◼
►
I can also get RCN I believe so there is
[TS]
01:00:43
◼
►
competitive pressure I can get more
[TS]
01:00:45
◼
►
download speeds from Comcast but Comcast
[TS]
01:00:47
◼
►
connections are comically asymmetrical
[TS]
01:00:51
◼
►
where it's like 72 megabits down and to
[TS]
01:00:53
◼
►
up and that's no way to live it's no way
[TS]
01:00:55
◼
►
to live so yeah I do this and Verizon
[TS]
01:00:58
◼
►
not that good about capping you either
[TS]
01:00:59
◼
►
because I do those speed test sites I
[TS]
01:01:01
◼
►
don't know accurate those are maybe
[TS]
01:01:02
◼
►
they're maybe they're fudged but I
[TS]
01:01:04
◼
►
always get more than 35 I get like up to
[TS]
01:01:06
◼
►
45 megabits down just because there's
[TS]
01:01:09
◼
►
probably too much work for them to
[TS]
01:01:10
◼
►
accurately cap the download speeds in
[TS]
01:01:12
◼
►
some situations but I do like having
[TS]
01:01:14
◼
►
good although speed but anyway as part
[TS]
01:01:15
◼

of that was part of a big reshuffling
[TS]
01:01:17
◼

that I did and my big reshuffling was
[TS]
01:01:19
◼

finally getting rid of the standard

definition television in the bedroom
[TS]
01:01:22

which had built-in DVD player and like
[TS]
01:01:25
◼
►
the kids would watch movies in there
[TS]
01:01:26
◼
►
occasionally and it had my old series
[TS]
01:01:28
◼
►
two dual tuner TiVo attached to it
[TS]
01:01:31
◼
►
recording standard def programs and I
[TS]
01:01:34
◼
►
had one of those giant Verizon standard
[TS]
01:01:37
◼
►
definition cable tuner things attached
[TS]
01:01:39
◼
►
to it and then the TiVo would have to
[TS]
01:01:42
◼
►
talk to the giant standard definition
[TS]
01:01:43
◼
►
cable tuner thing either through an IR
[TS]
01:01:45
◼
►
blaster or through a serial cable and we
[TS]
01:01:49
◼
►
use serial cable because I thought it
[TS]
01:01:50
◼
►
would be more reliable but occasionally
[TS]
01:01:51
◼
►
the Teva would fail to correctly change
[TS]
01:01:53
◼
►
the channel on the tuner and record the
[TS]
01:01:55
◼
►
wrong channel and it's just it was just
[TS]
01:01:57
◼
►
a mess and we knew you know it was only
[TS]
01:02:00
◼
►
a matter of time before that all got
[TS]
01:02:01
◼
►
replaced with HD so I got a new HDTV up
[TS]
01:02:03
◼
►
there I moved the the TiVo HD XL from
[TS]
01:02:08
◼
►
downstairs to the upstairs I bought a
[TS]
01:02:10
◼
►
blu-ray player for the upstairs and it's
[TS]
01:02:12
◼
►
like Christmas in your house
[TS]
01:02:13
◼
►
so now it's now the kids can watch the
[TS]
01:02:15
◼
►
movies on their still because you know
[TS]
01:02:17
◼
►
once the TV goes with DVD player at Matt
[TS]
01:02:19
◼
►
meant that I needed to get a new Tebow
[TS]
01:02:20
◼
►
for downstairs and rather than talking
[TS]
01:02:21
◼
►
about all those other things that I did
[TS]
01:02:23
◼
►
and by the way I did this in a one giant
[TS]
01:02:26
◼
►
thing where I had to get the Verizon
[TS]
01:02:29
◼
►
change to the service the new cable card
[TS]
01:02:31
◼
►
the new Internet service limits it also
[TS]
01:02:35
◼
►
changed my phone system changed the
[TS]
01:02:37
◼
►
channel lineups that I was receiving an
[TS]
01:02:38
◼
►
HDTV bought a new television bought the
[TS]
01:02:40
◼
►
blu-ray player they replace the TiVo
[TS]
01:02:44
◼
►
with a new TiVo all the new cabling the
[TS]
01:02:48
◼
►
new wireless connection for the upstairs
[TS]
01:02:49
◼
►
TiVo because there's no wire thing I had
[TS]
01:02:50
◼
►
to get all that stuff arrived at the
[TS]
01:02:51
◼
►
house at the same time so that I could
[TS]
01:02:53
◼
►
sit down when the weekend actually came
[TS]
01:02:54
◼
►
and do everything at once while everyone
[TS]
01:02:56
◼
►
was out of the house in like two or
[TS]
01:02:57
◼
►
three hours without saying oh I missed
[TS]
01:03:00
◼
►
the cable or all this doesn't work or
[TS]
01:03:01
◼
►
this thing didn't arrive in time and it
[TS]
01:03:02
◼
►
was pretty successful basically had
[TS]
01:03:04
◼
►
everything arrived at the house within a
[TS]
01:03:05
◼
►
day or two of each other
[TS]
01:03:06
◼
►
all that was ready and waiting on the
[TS]
01:03:08
◼
►
Saturday the kids and the wife leave the
[TS]
01:03:10
◼
►
house to go on their their morning
[TS]
01:03:12
◼
►
activities and then I just descend on
[TS]
01:03:14
◼
►
the living room and bedroom and tear
[TS]
01:03:15
◼
►
everything up the only thing I was
[TS]
01:03:17
◼
►
missing was a right-angle HDMI connector
[TS]
01:03:20
◼
►
so that the cable doesn't poke out of
[TS]
01:03:22
◼
►
the side of the upstairs I can't believe
[TS]
01:03:24
◼
►
that all you forgot that I mean come on
[TS]
01:03:25
◼
►
like who does that though that that's
[TS]
01:03:27
◼
►
one of my minor complaints about the
[TS]
01:03:28
◼
►
television which I don't won't talk
[TS]
01:03:30
◼
►
about today but there's four HDMI inputs
[TS]
01:03:33
◼
►
on it and it didn't think to look where
[TS]
01:03:34
◼
►
they were and so one HDMI input is on
[TS]
01:03:37
◼
►
the back and I goes to the TiVo but then
[TS]
01:03:39
◼
►
the blu-ray player has to go into one of
[TS]
01:03:40
◼
►
the all three other inputs were on the
[TS]
01:03:42
◼
►
side you know and like so one or two on
[TS]
01:03:45
◼
►
the side is for when you want to just
[TS]
01:03:46
◼
►
connect something up temporarily but who
[TS]
01:03:47
◼
►
puts three inputs on the side and one on
[TS]
01:03:49
◼
►
the back because then you have this
[TS]
01:03:51
◼
►
cable poka straight out of the side and
[TS]
01:03:52
◼
►
you try to bend it so it doesn't you
[TS]
01:03:54
◼
►
know then you look at the TV and can
[TS]
01:03:55
◼
►
always see this little curve of a cable
[TS]
01:03:56
◼
►
poking out of the side so I had to buy a
[TS]
01:03:58
◼
►
right-angle HDMI adapter so that the
[TS]
01:04:01
◼
►
cable wouldn't poke into the side does
[TS]
01:04:02
◼
►
the one thing I didn't have arrived in
[TS]
01:04:03
◼
►
time but everything else I had
[TS]
01:04:04
◼
►
everything all together and it all
[TS]
01:04:06
◼
►
no Verizon still had to come to the
[TS]
01:04:08
◼
►
house the cable card activation worked
[TS]
01:04:10
◼
►
nicely but the main thing I want to talk
[TS]
01:04:12
◼
►
about is the new Tivo for downstairs
[TS]
01:04:14
◼
►
which I had been putting off buying for
[TS]
01:04:16
◼
►
a long time and that is the TiVo premier
[TS]
01:04:18
◼
►
elite I didn't want to buy a new TV
[TS]
01:04:20
◼
►
premier because as I talked about on the
[TS]
01:04:21
◼
►
very first episode of the show many
[TS]
01:04:23
◼
►
complaints about TiVo and
[TS]
01:04:25
◼
►
I couldn't believe that the Tebow
[TS]
01:04:28
◼
►
products user interface and experience
[TS]
01:04:31
◼
►
of using continues to get worse even as
[TS]
01:04:33
◼
►
time progresses and in theory hardware
[TS]
01:04:35
◼
►
gets faster and the premiere in
[TS]
01:04:37
◼
►
particular changed its interface I
[TS]
01:04:41
◼
►
believe they're using flash for it but
[TS]
01:04:43
◼
►
whatever they're using it was way slower
[TS]
01:04:45
◼
►
to navigate the menus you'd hit down
[TS]
01:04:46
◼
►
down down and thing would go down oh you
[TS]
01:04:49
◼
►
want to go down again down did you sit
[TS]
01:04:51
◼
►
down I don't know that he sit down I'll
[TS]
01:04:52
◼
►
check all you sit down
[TS]
01:04:53
◼
►
it was just maddeningly slow so slow it
[TS]
01:04:56
◼
►
was unusable so recently the premier
[TS]
01:04:59
◼
►
elite came out which is a permit Evo
[TS]
01:05:01
◼
►
premier but instead of having two tuners
[TS]
01:05:03
◼
►
it has four tuners and a big giant hard
[TS]
01:05:05
◼
►
drive and all sorts of other fancy stuff
[TS]
01:05:07
◼
►
and as part of that release they
[TS]
01:05:08
◼
►
released a software update initially
[TS]
01:05:11
◼
►
only for the premiere leap I think now
[TS]
01:05:13
◼
►
you can get it on any premier that
[TS]
01:05:14
◼
►
supposedly made things faster made the
[TS]
01:05:18
◼
►
menus not seem so horrendously slow
[TS]
01:05:20
◼
►
because I'd used a friend of Mines TiVo
[TS]
01:05:22
◼
►
premier when he first got it and I said
[TS]
01:05:24
◼
►
oh this is so horrible I I can't buy
[TS]
01:05:25
◼
►
this I have to wait until they address
[TS]
01:05:28
◼
►
this in some way so the premier elite
[TS]
01:05:29
◼
►
and the software update the company it
[TS]
01:05:31
◼
►
seemed to address it in some way and I
[TS]
01:05:33
◼
►
think I talked about in a show sometime
[TS]
01:05:36
◼
►
in the middle of the run of this show
[TS]
01:05:38
◼
►
about about that software update and
[TS]
01:05:40
◼
►
said well and the TiVo premiere elite
[TS]
01:05:41
◼
►
saying is the elite does the elite have
[TS]
01:05:42
◼
►
a faster CPU does it have more RAM we
[TS]
01:05:46
◼
►
know it has a bigger hard drive but is
[TS]
01:05:47
◼
►
there anything about it other than the
[TS]
01:05:48
◼
►
software update that makes it faster I
[TS]
01:05:50
◼
►
think in my research I determined
[TS]
01:05:52
◼
►
basically that it's all the software
[TS]
01:05:54
◼
►
update that makes this thing faster but
[TS]
01:05:56
◼
►
either way I like the fact that the
[TS]
01:05:59
◼
►
menus wouldn't be so like unusable slow
[TS]
01:06:02
◼
►
and I had to buy a new TV and I can't
[TS]
01:06:04
◼
►
buy the one I have upstairs the TiVo HD
[TS]
01:06:06
◼
►
and that one angers me greatly anyway
[TS]
01:06:08
◼
►
because the name of the product is TiVo
[TS]
01:06:10
◼
►
HD but it doesn't have a high definition
[TS]
01:06:12
◼
►
interface a user interface not that
[TS]
01:06:14
◼
►
drove me not so here here's the the list
[TS]
01:06:16
◼
►
of the good and the bad about this new
[TS]
01:06:18
◼
►
product a lot of people knew I was
[TS]
01:06:19
◼
►
getting the TiVo premier lead wanted to
[TS]
01:06:20
◼
►
hear what I thought of it
[TS]
01:06:22
◼
►
the good it's got four tuners and he can
[TS]
01:06:27
◼
►
record four shows at the same time that
[TS]
01:06:29
◼
►
really works it works fine is to to
[TS]
01:06:31
◼
►
cable cards for that no one cable card
[TS]
01:06:34
◼
►
one cable card one multi-stream cable
[TS]
01:06:36
◼
►
card activation was pretty darn
[TS]
01:06:39
◼
►
let's just plug it into the back of the
[TS]
01:06:40
◼
►
thing fall there's it's getting this
[TS]
01:06:42
◼
►
thing I I feel bad for anybody who's not
[TS]
01:06:45
◼
►
a nerd who it would have the the amount
[TS]
01:06:47
◼
►
of stuff arrived at their house that are
[TS]
01:06:49
◼
►
out you know because you get the cable
[TS]
01:06:50
◼
►
card and that comes in a package with
[TS]
01:06:52
◼
►
extensive incredibly detailed
[TS]
01:06:54
◼
►
instructions that how to set it up and
[TS]
01:06:56
◼
►
then you get the TiVo which also comes
[TS]
01:06:58
◼
►
with like a giant fold-out post their
[TS]
01:07:01
◼
►
card instructions a link to your elf
[TS]
01:07:03
◼
►
instructions a giant manual of
[TS]
01:07:04
◼
►
instructions just really detailed
[TS]
01:07:06
◼
►
extensive instructions and step-by-step
[TS]
01:07:08
◼
►
how to set things up and then of course
[TS]
01:07:10
◼
►
you have a television which has similar
[TS]
01:07:11
◼
►
instructions all those instructions can
[TS]
01:07:13
◼
►
flick with each other none of them agree
[TS]
01:07:15
◼
►
in any way it's up you were presented
[TS]
01:07:17
◼
►
with a like well if I follow the the
[TS]
01:07:19
◼
►
instructions that came with the cable
[TS]
01:07:21
◼
►
card I can't also follow the
[TS]
01:07:22
◼
►
instructions came with the TiVo but I
[TS]
01:07:24
◼
►
follow the instructions come with the
[TS]
01:07:25
◼
►
TiVo at some point I have to do the
[TS]
01:07:26
◼
►
things it's on if I didn't know what to
[TS]
01:07:29
◼
►
do I would have been entirely lost
[TS]
01:07:31
◼
►
because everyone wants to help you and
[TS]
01:07:33
◼
►
they want to do they want to provide you
[TS]
01:07:36
◼
►
with incredibly detailed instructions
[TS]
01:07:37
◼
►
but none of them know about each other
[TS]
01:07:38
◼
►
because Verizon doesn't know that I have
[TS]
01:07:40
◼
►
a TiVo premier and Tibor you doesn't
[TS]
01:07:41
◼
►
know that I have Verizon
[TS]
01:07:42
◼
►
you know I feel bad for the people who
[TS]
01:07:45
◼
►
have to set this up themselves it is not
[TS]
01:07:47
◼
►
simple at all so but the four tuners one
[TS]
01:07:52
◼
►
multi-screen cable card no problems
[TS]
01:07:54
◼
►
records for shows can watch another one
[TS]
01:07:56
◼
►
absolutely no problem I'm in the good
[TS]
01:07:59
◼
►
section so I won't say what's bad about
[TS]
01:08:00
◼
►
for tuners way too that Dan and the next
[TS]
01:08:03
◼
►
good item is that it does have an HD
[TS]
01:08:06
◼
►
interface that means the menu screens
[TS]
01:08:07
◼
►
are rendered in high-definition
[TS]
01:08:09
◼
►
previously believe it or not the menus
[TS]
01:08:10
◼
►
were rendered in standard definition and
[TS]
01:08:13
◼
►
stretched to fill a sixteen by nine
[TS]
01:08:15
◼
►
screen so one of the major interface
[TS]
01:08:18
◼
►
elements in the TiVo user interface is a
[TS]
01:08:20
◼
►
colored circle next to your program that
[TS]
01:08:22
◼
►
indicates the age of that program and
[TS]
01:08:24
◼
►
whether it's about to be deleted or
[TS]
01:08:25
◼
►
whether it's been permanently saved and
[TS]
01:08:26
◼
►
so every program had a little circle
[TS]
01:08:29
◼
►
along the side of it well if you take a
[TS]
01:08:31
◼
►
standard def interface and stretch it to
[TS]
01:08:33
◼
►
a 16 by 9 HD screen all the circles
[TS]
01:08:35
◼
►
become ovals and it looks silly and
[TS]
01:08:38
◼
►
stupid and so now finally finally TiVo a
[TS]
01:08:42
◼
►
product from TiVo and the premiere had
[TS]
01:08:44
◼
►
this too not just the premiere elite
[TS]
01:08:46
◼
►
program Pivo has a high definition user
[TS]
01:08:48
◼
►
interface in which these circles are
[TS]
01:08:50
◼
►
actually circular
[TS]
01:08:51
◼
►
this ends the good portion of because
[TS]
01:08:55
◼
►
this review I guess I should also say
[TS]
01:08:58
◼
►
the implied thing and all this is that
[TS]
01:09:01
◼
►
for all the complaints I'm about to make
[TS]
01:09:03
◼
►
about TiVo the reason I keep buying them
[TS]
01:09:05
◼
►
is because I know of no better DVR
[TS]
01:09:07
◼
►
product and what I want is a DVR
[TS]
01:09:09
◼
►
I want a DVR that does these things they
[TS]
01:09:11
◼
►
can record many shows at once that
[TS]
01:09:12
◼
►
accepts my you know cable subscription
[TS]
01:09:15
◼
►
all my premium channels and records them
[TS]
01:09:16
◼
►
for me and TiVo is the best product I
[TS]
01:09:19
◼
►
family does that so for all these things
[TS]
01:09:20
◼
►
I'm going to complain about which are
[TS]
01:09:22
◼
►
all entirely true I don't leave the
[TS]
01:09:25
◼
►
product or not buy it or buy something
[TS]
01:09:26
◼
►
different because everything else I've
[TS]
01:09:28
◼
►
looked at has been worse in some way to
[TS]
01:09:31
◼
►
me so for example setting up my own
[TS]
01:09:33
◼
►
media center PC I don't want to deal
[TS]
01:09:35
◼
►
with that stuff I want it to be like
[TS]
01:09:36
◼
►
TiVo where it's an appliance and I don't
[TS]
01:09:38

still slower than the TiVo hd's menu

system and the TiVo HD menu system in

ago to say whether the TiVo series one

had slower men had faster menus in the

series - but I wouldn't be surprised if

01:10:35

that was the case as I think I said on

01:10:38
◼

the first show there's some I can
[TS]
01:10:40
◼

imagine some kind of allowance for the

fact that when the TiVo product line

went from recording standard definition
[TS]
01:10:47
◼

television to high-definition television
[TS]
01:10:48
◼

it's a tremendous increase in the
[TS]
01:10:49
◼

processing power required to do that and
[TS]
01:10:52
◼

the storage space and the i/o and
[TS]
01:10:54
◼

everything it's just it's a big leap to
[TS]
01:10:56
◼

go from standard def to HD it's like I
[TS]
01:10:57
◼

don't know if it's 10 times as much but
[TS]
01:10:59

is it a huge amount of extra data and
[TS]
01:11:01

complexity and computation
[TS]
01:11:03

so I will give an allowance for during

that transition period when they're

changing from aged from standard-def to

Bluetooth remote with like a slider

guess it takes the IR a recognition out

of the loop right I don't like the

Bluetooth remote because it's shorter

ought that my friend of mine has it

maybe I'll try his remote and see if

that makes it feel faster but it's my

impression that it's not just like the

much faster you go you as fast as you

remote one thing they changed in the

01:12:50

remote it looks same on the outside but
[TS]
01:12:52

they switch from four triple-a batteries
[TS]
01:12:55

the two double-a batteries and the four
[TS]
01:12:57
◼

triple-a batteries were arranged in like
[TS]
01:12:59
◼
►
a grid - on top of two the two double A
[TS]
01:13:02
◼
►
batteries are side-by-side and that
[TS]
01:13:05
◼
►
shifts the center of mass backwards on
[TS]
01:13:07
◼
►
the remote a little bit and makes it
[TS]
01:13:08
◼

feel less balanced to me I'm getting it
[TS]
01:13:10
◼

- superb nitpicking but I over refer
[TS]
01:13:12
◼

everyone to the title of the show I did
[TS]
01:13:15
◼

like it better when the weight was more
[TS]
01:13:17
◼
►
evenly distributed
[TS]
01:13:17
◼
►
through the remote maybe I get more
[TS]
01:13:19
◼
►
battery life out of these other two
[TS]
01:13:20
◼
►
doublea's but we'll see so the second
[TS]
01:13:23
◼
►
thing with the menus is that despite the
[TS]
01:13:25
◼
►
fact that they put a high definition
[TS]
01:13:26
◼
►
menus in the circles and now actually
[TS]
01:13:28
◼
►
circles the old menu system is still
[TS]
01:13:32
◼
►
there lurking very near underneath the
[TS]
01:13:35
◼
►
surface so if you go into like settings
[TS]
01:13:37
◼
►
or something or one of the other screens
[TS]
01:13:39
◼
►
suddenly you're back into the old menus
[TS]
01:13:40
◼
►
the old-style menus I I don't think
[TS]
01:13:44
◼
►
they're standard def or maybe our
[TS]
01:13:46
◼
►
standard Devon stretch but it's not
[TS]
01:13:47
◼
►
there's a there's a new look for the
[TS]
01:13:48
◼
►
menus of a side by side thing of like a
[TS]
01:13:50
◼
►
primary and a detail view in this header
[TS]
01:13:52
◼
►
and if you do anything out of the
[TS]
01:13:55
◼
►
ordinary your switch back into the old
[TS]
01:13:56
◼
►
menus this kills me because TiVo the
[TS]
01:14:01
◼
►
first high-definition TiVo came out in
[TS]
01:14:02
◼
►
2006 which was six years ago and right
[TS]
01:14:04
◼
►
we're close to six years ago how long do
[TS]
01:14:07
◼
►
you think it should take the company to
[TS]
01:14:08
◼
►
convert this entire product line to to
[TS]
01:14:10
◼
►
have the user interface in HD how long
[TS]
01:14:13
◼
►
before we don't see those old menus any
[TS]
01:14:15
◼
►
more certainly for example the new Apple
[TS]
01:14:18
◼
►
TV that's coming out they've redid the
[TS]
01:14:19
◼
►
menus there is renewing the menus in the
[TS]
01:14:21
◼
►
Apple TV I suspect that when you go more
[TS]
01:14:24
◼
►
than two menus deep you won't suddenly
[TS]
01:14:25
◼
►
seen the old Apple TV man you know they
[TS]
01:14:26
◼
►
redid the whole thing and by the way the
[TS]
01:14:28
◼
►
whole thing is in HD
[TS]
01:14:29
◼
►
somehow Apple can do this on a yearly
[TS]
01:14:30
◼
►
basis and it was six years time people
[TS]
01:14:32
◼
►
can still not expunge the standard
[TS]
01:14:34
◼
►
definition or old style menus from its
[TS]
01:14:36
◼
►
system can you reason out what why can
[TS]
01:14:38
◼
►
you reason it out from a software
[TS]
01:14:40
◼
►
developer standpoint return on
[TS]
01:14:42
◼
►
investment maybe or like that maybe they
[TS]
01:14:45
◼
►
invested in like because they think who
[TS]
01:14:47
◼
►
cares about this only people like me
[TS]
01:14:48
◼
►
care about the menus are NHD or you care
[TS]
01:14:52
◼
►
about the jarring transitions do they
[TS]
01:14:53
◼
►
say well if we had to dedicate we have
[TS]
01:14:54
◼
►
these menus that work we have this whole
[TS]
01:14:56
◼
►
system that works why don't we just redo
[TS]
01:14:58
◼
►
the menus most people see most of the
[TS]
01:14:59
◼
►
time but leave the more obscure menus in
[TS]
01:15:01
◼
►
the old style because that's a better
[TS]
01:15:02
◼
►
returner it's just it's bad
[TS]
01:15:04
◼
►
prioritization I think it's not it's not
[TS]
01:15:06
◼
►
as if the engineers are at fault here
[TS]
01:15:08
◼
►
it's management deciding what we're
[TS]
01:15:09
◼
►
going to pay money to fix and what
[TS]
01:15:11
◼
►
they're going to do is make a fancy new
[TS]
01:15:12
◼
►
UI and their only going to hit the the
[TS]
01:15:15
◼
►
seven screens that people are most
[TS]
01:15:16
◼
►
likely to see and the old obscure ones
[TS]
01:15:18
◼
►
just use the old UI and the other thing
[TS]
01:15:20
◼
►
might be that they use flash for the new
[TS]
01:15:21
◼
►
interface and found out that it was not
[TS]
01:15:23
◼
►
great performance wise and one of the
[TS]
01:15:26
◼
►
options on the TiVo both in the premiere
[TS]
01:15:29
◼
►
and merely is you can say
[TS]
01:15:31
◼
►
let me use the old menu so you can
[TS]
01:15:32
◼
►
switch the whole thing back to the old
[TS]
01:15:33
◼
►
ugly user interface with the ovals and
[TS]
01:15:35
◼
►
the stretched standard F stuff that is
[TS]
01:15:38
◼
►
like a vote of no-confidence in your UI
[TS]
01:15:39
◼
►
saying we made this fancy new UI but if
[TS]
01:15:42
◼
►
you don't want to use it you can totally
[TS]
01:15:43
◼
►
switch back to the old way which by the
[TS]
01:15:45
◼
►
way is still not standard F and so it
[TS]
01:15:49
◼
►
does really amazed me that like maybe
[TS]
01:15:51
◼
►
that's your thing for your first HD
[TS]
01:15:53
◼
►
product well we'll just add it the
[TS]
01:15:54
◼

highlights let's not you know for the
[TS]
01:15:56
◼
►
first HD procs didn't do the redo the
[TS]
01:15:58
◼

main usability both series 3 use the
[TS]
01:15:59
◼
►
standard def menus that was in 2006 the
[TS]
01:16:02
◼

TiVo HD which is like a more affordable
[TS]
01:16:03
◼

version of the the fancier season 3 in
[TS]
01:16:06
◼
►
2007 use the standard def menus only in
[TS]
01:16:09
◼
►
2010 four years after they made the
[TS]
01:16:11
◼
►
transition to HD they put the very first
[TS]
01:16:13
◼
►
high definition menu anywhere in their
[TS]
01:16:15
◼

product 2010 four years later after the
[TS]
01:16:18
◼

transition to HD the very first High
[TS]
01:16:20
◼
►
Definition menu appears and then at that
[TS]
01:16:22
◼

point it still not all the menus and
[TS]
01:16:23
◼
►
here we are in 2011 the premier elite
[TS]
01:16:26
◼
►
still standard menu and by the way when
[TS]
01:16:28
◼
►
it changed the standard F menus if you
[TS]
01:16:30
◼
►
don't have if you have the thing set to
[TS]
01:16:31
◼
►
do native output because you want your
[TS]
01:16:33
◼
►
television to do the scaling for you
[TS]
01:16:34
◼
►
like I would set the Telos to do native
[TS]
01:16:36
◼
►
output so it's a 720p sense 720p to my
[TS]
01:16:39
◼

TV because I have more conference than
[TS]
01:16:40
◼
►
my fancy TV can display 720p then I do
[TS]
01:16:44
◼

to that allow the TiVo to do the
[TS]
01:16:47
◼
►
conversion for you like you can tell
[TS]
01:16:48
◼
►
TiVo always output 1080i no matter what
[TS]
01:16:50
◼
►
the signal is that the show is 720p
[TS]
01:16:52
◼
►
converted to 1080i and put it and send
[TS]
01:16:54
◼
►
it to my TV or convert attend 1080p and
[TS]
01:16:57
◼

send it to my TV I would rather have my
[TS]
01:16:59
◼

television decide how to display 720p
[TS]
01:17:02
◼
►
content how to display 1080i how to
[TS]
01:17:04
◼
►
display 1080p cuz my television cost
[TS]
01:17:07
◼
►
more money than my TiVo and I have more
[TS]
01:17:08
◼
►
faith those people know what they're
[TS]
01:17:09
◼
►
doing but that means that when you
[TS]
01:17:12
◼
►
change menus and it changes from like
[TS]
01:17:14
◼
►
you know a 1080i menu in the hi-def to
[TS]
01:17:17
◼
►
the 720p which is a stretched version of
[TS]
01:17:19
◼
►
the standard def menu you get this
[TS]
01:17:21
◼
►
flickering and the whole screen goes
[TS]
01:17:22
◼
►
black and it changes then terrible it's
[TS]
01:17:25
◼
►
it's it's you know if you showed TiVo to
[TS]
01:17:27
◼
►
Steve Jobs he would his head would
[TS]
01:17:28
◼
►
explode everything wrong with it you
[TS]
01:17:32
◼

could possibly imagine
[TS]
01:17:33
◼
►
yeah so the new UI does say okay we've
[TS]
01:17:40
◼
►
got a wider screen now so now we're
[TS]
01:17:42
◼
►
sixteen by nine and we can put things
[TS]
01:17:43
◼
►
side-by-side but
[TS]
01:17:44
◼
►
good take advantage of the wider screen
[TS]
01:17:46
◼
►
but they did move some stuff down the
[TS]
01:17:48
◼
►
lower level in the sort of menu stack so
[TS]
01:17:50
◼
►
one of the items that I use a lot is to
[TS]
01:17:52
◼
►
keep until thing where you go into a
[TS]
01:17:53
◼
►
show and you tell it out I have this
[TS]
01:17:56
◼
►
season pass set for you to delete the
[TS]
01:17:58
◼

shows if you need space but actually

this particular episode I really want to

watch so keep this show until I delete
[TS]
01:18:04
◼
►
it and that changes the little circle
[TS]
01:18:05
◼
►
next to the thing - a green circle so
[TS]
01:18:07
◼
►
blue circle means that we just recorded
[TS]
01:18:08
◼
►
yellow circle means is getting kind of
[TS]
01:18:09
◼
►
old in yellow circle the exclamation
[TS]
01:18:12
◼
►
point means I was going to get deleted
[TS]
01:18:13
◼
►
soon and then green means will never
[TS]
01:18:15
◼
►
automatically delete this will keep a
[TS]
01:18:17
◼
►
trip and so I frequently go through like
[TS]
01:18:19
◼
►
you know we have these kids programs
[TS]
01:18:20
◼
►
recording for my children and
[TS]
01:18:21
◼
►
occasionally my son or daughter will say
[TS]
01:18:23
◼
►
I really liked that episode I don't say
[TS]
01:18:25
◼
►
it they'll keep asking for it and I'll
[TS]
01:18:26
◼
►
realize oh geez I better I better keep
[TS]
01:18:29
◼
►
the Martha speaks episode where they go
[TS]
01:18:31
◼
►
camping because it seems like the kids
[TS]
01:18:32
◼
►
asked for it all the time so let me mark
[TS]
01:18:34
◼
►
it as green let me mark it - to keep it
[TS]
01:18:36
◼
►
forever so the other episodes will just
[TS]
01:18:37
◼
►
go off the end in turn or whatever but
[TS]
01:18:39
◼
►
any time they want to see the camping
[TS]
01:18:40
◼
►
episode I'll know I have it and that's a
[TS]
01:18:42
◼
►
frequent ask that I do on a per show
[TS]
01:18:44
◼
►
basis not saying keep every single
[TS]
01:18:45
◼
►
Martha speaks you record forever but
[TS]
01:18:47
◼
►
just the particular episodes the kids
[TS]
01:18:48
◼
►
wants I mark now that that's two more
[TS]
01:18:50
◼
►
menus deep in the menu structure I would
[TS]
01:18:53
◼
►
really like a shortcut for that there is
[TS]
01:18:55
◼
►
a shortcut for delete if you highlight a
[TS]
01:18:56
◼
►
program and hit the clear key it will
[TS]
01:18:58
◼
►
delete the program amelie instead of you
[TS]
01:18:59
◼
►
having to go into the program select
[TS]
01:19:01
◼
►
delete from the menu or whatever there's
[TS]
01:19:03
◼
►
no shortcut for keep until I delete
[TS]
01:19:06
◼
►
which is like well fine you can't have a
[TS]
01:19:08
◼
►
shortcut for everything but the tebow
[TS]
01:19:10
◼
►
premier remote adds four buttons to it
[TS]
01:19:12
◼
►
or four or five it's like it's got a
[TS]
01:19:14
◼
►
color buttons like red green yellow blue
[TS]
01:19:16
◼
►
whatever those buttons you normally see
[TS]
01:19:18
◼
►
on on a blu-ray remote control and maybe
[TS]
01:19:21
◼
►
you don't have a blu-ray player I don't
[TS]
01:19:23
◼
►
but I've seen ya the colored buttons
[TS]
01:19:25
◼
►
they put on they have a green button
[TS]
01:19:26
◼
►
it's not being used for anything you
[TS]
01:19:28
◼
►
push the green button when the program
[TS]
01:19:29
◼
►
is highlighted and nothing happens it
[TS]
01:19:31
◼
►
seems like if that should be the thing
[TS]
01:19:33
◼
►
they should make to make the little
[TS]
01:19:34
◼
►
thing green stuff like that it makes me
[TS]
01:19:38
◼
►
think that that someone's not paying
[TS]
01:19:40
◼
►
attention details the other one another
[TS]
01:19:41
◼
►
example they would probably make Steve
[TS]
01:19:42
◼
►
Jobs head explode is actually I don't
[TS]
01:19:45
◼
►
even have this in my notes beche talk
[TS]
01:19:47
◼
►
but anyway so when I got the new dinner
[TS]
01:19:49
◼
►
TiVo as you can imagine of someone who
[TS]
01:19:51
◼
►
lives their life on TiVo and has two
[TS]
01:19:53
◼
►
kids we have a tremendous number of
[TS]
01:19:56
◼
►
season passes season passes are where
[TS]
01:19:57
◼
►
you tell
[TS]
01:19:58
◼
►
TiVo that I will want you to record
[TS]
01:20:01
◼
►
every episode of this program instead of
[TS]
01:20:04
◼
►
me having to manually tell you every
[TS]
01:20:05
◼
►
week to record it that's called the
[TS]
01:20:07
◼
►
season pass and we have many many many
[TS]
01:20:09
◼
►
of those we have ones for kid shows ones
[TS]
01:20:11
◼
►
for the shows that we watch and you can
[TS]
01:20:12
◼
►
put different options on you can say
[TS]
01:20:13
◼
►
record only only the new episodes record
[TS]
01:20:16
◼
►
repeats and the new episodes how long
[TS]
01:20:18
◼
►
should I keep them should I keep them so
[TS]
01:20:19
◼
►
you watch them or should I delete them
[TS]
01:20:21
◼
►
if you don't watch them for a while all
[TS]
01:20:22
◼
►
sorts of options and then you prioritize
[TS]
01:20:25
◼
►
them it's like a big long list and you
[TS]
01:20:26
◼
►
reorder them so that there's a priority
[TS]
01:20:29
◼
►
order saying okay well these two shows
[TS]
01:20:30
◼
►
conflict let me see which one is higher
[TS]
01:20:32
◼
►
in the priority stack and I will pick
[TS]
01:20:34
◼
►
that one to record so as you can imagine
[TS]
01:20:36
◼
►
after it must be like 10 years of using
[TS]
01:20:38
◼
►
steve-o's or maybe not that long but a
[TS]
01:20:41
◼
►
pretty long time we have a big
[TS]
01:20:43
◼
►
complicated stack of season passes in a
[TS]
01:20:46
◼
►
particular order so that we get the
[TS]
01:20:47
◼
►
shows recorded that we want to be
[TS]
01:20:48
◼
►
recorded and when I get a new device
[TS]
01:20:51
◼
►
unlike you know your iOS devices and
[TS]
01:20:53
◼
►
with iOS 5 and iCloud you don't just
[TS]
01:20:56
◼
►
enter your username and password then it
[TS]
01:20:58
◼
►
sets it up for you it comes to you as an
[TS]
01:20:59
◼
►
empty device that has no idea who you
[TS]
01:21:01
◼
►
are or anything about you and used to be
[TS]
01:21:03
◼
►
that was that was it like when I set up
[TS]
01:21:05
◼
►
my my dual tuner series 2 I plugged in
[TS]
01:21:07
◼
►
and what I had to do was before I
[TS]
01:21:09
◼
►
disconnected the series 1 write down on
[TS]
01:21:12
◼
►
a piece of paper this was a long time
[TS]
01:21:13
◼
►
ago folks we had Pittsburgh the names of
[TS]
01:21:17
◼
►
all the season passes noting in me of
[TS]
01:21:19
◼
►
the options in the order that they were
[TS]
01:21:21
◼
►
and then I would sit there with the
[TS]
01:21:22
◼
►
remote control in front of the series 2
[TS]
01:21:23
◼
►
entering all these season passes again
[TS]
01:21:25
◼
►
with a with a five-way control up down
[TS]
01:21:27
◼
►
left right and select up down left right
[TS]
01:21:28
◼
►
and select it takes a long time so I was
[TS]
01:21:31
◼
►
excited to see on the TiVo website which
[TS]
01:21:34
◼
►
they've been slowly trying to add
[TS]
01:21:35
◼
►
features to that there's a thing to
[TS]
01:21:37
◼
►
transfer your season passes for one
[TS]
01:21:38
◼
►
device to another through with a web
[TS]
01:21:40
◼
►
interface now ignoring the fact that in
[TS]
01:21:43
◼
►
this day and age should be more like iOS
[TS]
01:21:45
◼
►
5 where you just enter something in and
[TS]
01:21:46
◼
►
it syncs a lot for you I'm like you know
[TS]
01:21:49
◼
►
don't look a gift horse in the mouth
[TS]
01:21:50
◼
►
just go to the go to the mouth go to the
[TS]
01:21:52
◼
►
website and do this transfer thing I
[TS]
01:21:56
◼
►
mean it doesn't hurt like how could it
[TS]
01:21:57
◼
►
possibly cause any problems because when
[TS]
01:21:59
◼
►
you get the thing out of the box it's
[TS]
01:22:00
◼
►
got nothing on it so even if it doesn't
[TS]
01:22:01
◼
►
work you have nothing to lose because
[TS]
01:22:03
◼
►
you're starting with an empty box if it
[TS]
01:22:04
◼
►
doesn't work well you got an empty box
[TS]
01:22:05
◼
►
or whatever so I hope the thing up get
[TS]
01:22:08
◼
►
everything ready go to the website go to
[TS]
01:22:10
◼
►
the season pass

01:22:12
◼
►

01:22:17
◼
►
destination select all the bunch of

checkboxes select all the checkboxes and
[TS]
01:22:21
◼
►

[TS]
01:22:23
◼
►
it goes grind grind grind shows me a
[TS]
01:22:25
◼
►
little spinner thing or whatever and
[TS]
01:22:27
◼
►
after a couple minutes of that it pops
[TS]
01:22:28
◼
►
up a thing that says the following
[TS]
01:22:30
◼
►
season passes could not be transferred
[TS]
01:22:31
◼
►
and it shows the entire list of season
[TS]
01:22:34
◼
►
paths it's another very bottom it says
[TS]
01:22:35
◼
►
this could be because the this may be
[TS]
01:22:38
◼
►
because the channel lineups are not
[TS]
01:22:39
◼
►
identical on the t-bo's or at some
[TS]
01:22:43
◼
►
obscure message like that and so what am
[TS]
01:22:45
◼
►
I supposed to do with this information
[TS]
01:22:46
◼
►
the channel lineups are not identical
[TS]
01:22:48
◼
►
they're connected to the same cable did
[TS]
01:22:49
◼
►
I set up the channel lineups differently
[TS]
01:22:51
◼
►
am I going to go to the upstairs TiVo on
[TS]
01:22:53
◼
►
the downstairs TiVo and compare their
[TS]
01:22:56
◼
►
channel by Janet because you can turn
[TS]
01:22:58
◼
►
channels on and off like you can say I
[TS]
01:22:59
◼
►
don't want to see the standard F
[TS]
01:23:00
◼
►
channels or I don't want to see you know
[TS]
01:23:02
◼
►
HBO Latino or whatever because I don't
[TS]
01:23:05
◼
►
understand Spanish like you can turn
[TS]
01:23:06
◼
►
them on and off do I have to get and by
[TS]
01:23:08
◼
►
the way I have like a thousand channels
[TS]
01:23:10
◼
►
on my FiOS subscription so I would have
[TS]
01:23:12
◼
►
to go a list oh through a list of a
[TS]
01:23:13
◼
►
thousand things and match up for each
[TS]
01:23:15
◼
►
one so they're identical if I was to
[TS]
01:23:16
◼
►
take that error message at face value
[TS]
01:23:17
◼
►
but as a long time TiVo customer I know
[TS]
01:23:20
◼
►
enough not to take that message at face
[TS]
01:23:21
◼
►
value and I assumed maybe it's just not
[TS]
01:23:23
◼
►
ready for me to transfer season passes
[TS]
01:23:25
◼
►
because it's only been a day or
[TS]
01:23:27
◼
►
something or something hasn't been
[TS]
01:23:28
◼
►
updated in system or god knows what I'm
[TS]
01:23:30
◼
►
just like whatever I tried it a few
[TS]
01:23:32
◼
►
times same error message every time I
[TS]
01:23:34
◼
►
said forget it I'll do it manually so I
[TS]
01:23:36
◼
►
go and I start doing it manually with my
[TS]
01:23:38
◼
►
little written list this time on you
[TS]
01:23:40
◼
►
know and iPad so I don't have to write
[TS]
01:23:42
◼
►
it with a pencil and paper and enter the
[TS]
01:23:45
◼
►
season pass is manually in the order
[TS]
01:23:46
◼
►
that used to be accounting for the fact
[TS]
01:23:48
◼
►
that now I have four tuners no probably
[TS]
01:23:50
◼
►
fewer conflicts and I get them all
[TS]
01:23:51
◼
►
arranged and by the way this is another
[TS]
01:23:53
◼
►
adorable feature of TiVo when you're in
[TS]
01:23:56
◼
►
the season pass list and you are
[TS]
01:23:58
◼
►
rearranging season passes we have over
[TS]
01:24:01
◼
►
100 season passes that sounds crazy but
[TS]
01:24:03
◼
►
there are many things that cause us to
[TS]
01:24:05
◼
►
have over 100 one of them is that TiVo
[TS]
01:24:07
◼
►
has no way to know that the show will
[TS]
01:24:10
◼
►
never air again or that the program info
[TS]
01:24:12
◼
►
change so for one season of Survivor you
[TS]
01:24:14
◼
►
set up a season pass for it when the new
[TS]
01:24:16
◼
►
season of Survivor comes that is a new
[TS]
01:24:18
◼
►
season pass it does realize that this is
[TS]
01:24:19
◼
►
Survivor again right it has
[TS]
01:24:21
◼
►
has no notion of that but that's that's
[TS]
01:24:23
◼
►
across the board
[TS]
01:24:24
◼
►
yeah and and also doesn't realize that
[TS]
01:24:26
◼
►
the old season of Survivor is never
[TS]
01:24:28
◼
►
going to air again you know what I mean
[TS]
01:24:30
◼
►
so that's why we end up with 100 and and
[TS]
01:24:32
◼
►
and it's like why don't you just clean
[TS]
01:24:34
◼
►
them out while I'm getting to that so
[TS]
01:24:35
◼
►
you have this big long list of 100
[TS]
01:24:37
◼
►
season passes and you wanted to be in a
[TS]
01:24:38
◼
►
certain order so here I am entering them
[TS]
01:24:40
◼
►
and sometimes rearranging them and
[TS]
01:24:42
◼
►
moving stuff in the right place if you
[TS]
01:24:45
◼
►
move one of those season passes in my
[TS]
01:24:47
◼
►
season pass list and say okay please
[TS]
01:24:49
◼
►
move this from slot 4 to slot 5 the
[TS]
01:24:51
◼
►
thing will tell you please wait for five
[TS]
01:24:53
◼
►
minutes sometimes longer go walk away
[TS]
01:24:57
◼
►
you will not be able to use your TiVo
[TS]
01:24:59
◼
►
again for a long long time as you can
[TS]
01:25:02
◼
►
imagine if that's how long it takes to
[TS]
01:25:03
◼
►
move one in one position rearranging the
[TS]
01:25:06
◼
►
entire list would take forever now there
[TS]
01:25:08
◼
►
is a trick where if you go over to the
[TS]
01:25:10
◼
►
moving around thing and you never say
[TS]
01:25:12
◼
►
okay this is where I want it but stay in
[TS]
01:25:13
◼
►
the little moving around column there's
[TS]
01:25:15
◼
►
like little arrows you can go on the
[TS]
01:25:16
◼
►
right side of each item you go up up
[TS]
01:25:17
◼
►
down down if you just stay over there
[TS]
01:25:19
◼
►
and don't accidentally hit left don't
[TS]
01:25:22
◼
►
accidentally hit right and don't
[TS]
01:25:23
◼
►
accidentally hit select but just hit up
[TS]
01:25:24
◼
►
and down you can rearrange all of them
[TS]
01:25:27
◼
►
then say at the end okay now commit and
[TS]
01:25:29
◼
►
then go walk away and and find something
[TS]
01:25:31
◼
►
else to do for five or ten minutes but
[TS]
01:25:34
◼
►
of course you are severely punished by
[TS]
01:25:36
◼
►
accidentally hitting the wrong way and
[TS]
01:25:37
◼
►
the five way pad so here I am carefully
[TS]
01:25:39
◼
►
rearranging this list of things and
[TS]
01:25:40
◼
►
entering stuff first I have to enter
[TS]
01:25:42
◼
►
them all and then I have to arrange them
[TS]
01:25:43
◼
►
all in one step and while I rearrange
[TS]
01:25:45
◼
►
them I can't accidentally hit the arrow
[TS]
01:25:46

time minimize what is walk away
[TS]
01:25:49

incredibly frustrating why does it take
[TS]
01:25:51
◼

this long to rearrange them I don't know
[TS]
01:25:52

is there's some sort of you know
[TS]
01:25:54
◼

quadratic algorithm that's that you know
[TS]
01:25:57
◼

scaling exponentially inside so that you
[TS]
01:25:59
◼

can rearrange one of them in in you know
[TS]
01:26:02

one second but you can rearrange 50 of
[TS]
01:26:04

them and you have to wait for the heat

death of the universe I don't know what
[TS]
01:26:07

algorithm you see there it's like but
[TS]
01:26:10
◼

it's bad maybe they don't expect you to
[TS]
01:26:11
◼

have this many season passes maybe I'm
[TS]
01:26:13
◼

an outlier or something but it seems to
[TS]
01:26:15
◼

me that I'm one of their best customers
[TS]
01:26:16
◼

because I'm really using their products
[TS]
01:26:18
◼

maybe I'm using it too much but this is
[TS]
01:26:20
◼

horrible so I do all this work get
[TS]
01:26:22
◼

everything arranged as much as I
[TS]
01:26:24
◼

possibly can this is exhausting to sit

there in front of it you're not being

entertained I'm not being entertaining

while I'm doing this I'm just moving

stuff around getting things set up

downstairs

what do I find I find that in the night
[TS]
01:26:37
◼

something in TiVo's back-end system
[TS]
01:26:40
◼

perhaps their website had decided ok he
[TS]
01:26:42
◼
►
wanted transfer a bunch of season passes
[TS]
01:26:43
◼
►
let me do that for him and shoved some
[TS]
01:26:46
◼
►
crazy subset of season passes not all of
[TS]
01:26:48
◼
►
them mind you but some of them and then
[TS]
01:26:50
◼
►
scrambled the auto randomly so the new
[TS]
01:26:54
◼

rule was ok let's never touch that
[TS]
01:26:57
◼

website again does the season pass like
[TS]
01:26:59
◼

migration thing obviously is pure evil
[TS]
01:27:02
◼

we can never go to that page again don't
[TS]
01:27:04
◼

even load that page because if we
[TS]
01:27:05
◼

actually load that page for all we know
[TS]
01:27:07
◼

it's going to scramble our season passes
[TS]
01:27:08
◼
►
again is the whole process all over
[TS]
01:27:10
◼

again of rearranging everything not not
[TS]
01:27:14
◼
►
a good user experience Tebow no but and
[TS]
01:27:16
◼

yet you're still loyal but yeah I but
[TS]
01:27:18
◼
►
I've got one more this is the one more
[TS]
01:27:20
◼
►
thing but there's one more thing like
[TS]
01:27:23
◼
►
all the stuff I kind of knew what I was
[TS]
01:27:24
◼
►
going to get going to I new season pass
[TS]
01:27:25
◼
►
this load rearranged I figured the
[TS]
01:27:27
◼
►
rearrangement thing was going to be a
[TS]
01:27:28
◼
►
dud and it was it had one little sneaky
[TS]
01:27:31
◼
►
trick where it totally destroyed all my
[TS]
01:27:32
◼
►
work because I dared try to use it and
[TS]
01:27:35
◼
►
it figured out that the channel apps
[TS]
01:27:36
◼
►
weren't the same and tried to do it but
[TS]
01:27:39
◼
►
amazingly amazingly there's one thing
[TS]
01:27:42
◼
►
that even I and my pessimism and
[TS]
01:27:43
◼
►
crankiness could not have predicted it
[TS]
01:27:45
◼
►
would have been worse about this TiVo I
[TS]
01:27:46
◼
►
totally do not predict this so on the
[TS]
01:27:49
◼
►
TiVo there's a little button on the
[TS]
01:27:51
◼
►
remote control called I don't know what
[TS]
01:27:55
◼
►
it's called but it's the 30-second skip
[TS]
01:27:57
◼
►
button that's what a long time TiVo's
[TS]
01:27:59
◼
►
users call it out of the box it wouldn't
[TS]
01:28:03
◼
►
skip for 30 seconds the first TiVo's
[TS]
01:28:04
◼
►
what it would do is skip you to the end
[TS]
01:28:06
◼
►
of the program it's a little picture on
[TS]
01:28:08
◼
►
the button is an arrow with a vertical
[TS]
01:28:10
◼
►
line narrow touching a vertical line
[TS]
01:28:12
◼
►
that sort of universal symbol for goto
[TS]
01:28:14
◼
►
end but there was a secret code you can
[TS]
01:28:16
◼
►
enter in your remote not so secret that
[TS]
01:28:18
◼
►
on the classic old TiVo's would change
[TS]
01:28:20
◼
►
that button from go to the end of the
[TS]
01:28:22
◼
►
program to merely jump forward 30
[TS]
01:28:24
◼
►
seconds and this button is great for
[TS]
01:28:26
◼
►
skipping commercials because commercials
[TS]
01:28:28
◼
►
tend to come in multiples of 30 seconds
[TS]
01:28:30
◼
►
or close to it anyway and if you entered
[TS]
01:28:33
◼
►
the secret code that button became
[TS]
01:28:35
◼
►
jumped forward 30 seconds and the button
[TS]
01:28:37
◼
►
to the left of it on the other side of
[TS]
01:28:38
◼
►
the remote became go backward
[TS]
01:28:40
◼
►
eight-second so the little sequences
[TS]
01:28:42
◼
►
select play select 30 select that any
[TS]
01:28:44
◼
►
long time TiVo owner can memorize it's
[TS]
01:28:46
◼
►
like the Contra code 41 thinks that and
[TS]
01:28:48
◼
►
that enables 30-second skip so and
[TS]
01:28:51
◼
►
luckily TiVo supports this and remembers
[TS]
01:28:53
◼
►
that even if you reboot the thing or
[TS]
01:28:55
◼
►
unplug from the power it's kind of like
[TS]
01:28:57
◼
►
a nudge-nudge wink-wink supported
[TS]
01:28:59
◼
►
feature of TiVo and has been for many
[TS]
01:29:00
◼
►
many years so when this TiVo came I
[TS]
01:29:04
◼
►
tried the 30-second skip button to see
[TS]
01:29:06
◼
►
what the default was and the default
[TS]
01:29:08
◼
►
does not jump all the way to the end of
[TS]
01:29:09
◼
►
the thing the default is kind of like a
[TS]
01:29:10
◼
►
30-second scan where it moves forward 30
[TS]
01:29:13
◼
►
seconds but does it in kind of a really
[TS]
01:29:15
◼
►
really fast fast forward even faster
[TS]
01:29:16
◼
►
than the fastest fast-forward that you
[TS]
01:29:18
◼
►
can do with the fast-forward Scan button
[TS]
01:29:19
◼
►
it kind of goes bit into 30 seconds and
[TS]
01:29:22
◼
►
when it does this it does his weird
[TS]
01:29:23
◼
►
animation with the playhead on the
[TS]
01:29:25
◼
►
scrubber on the progress bar where it
[TS]
01:29:27
◼
►
jumps away ahead of where it's supposed
[TS]
01:29:28
◼
►
to be then back and then ahead then back
[TS]
01:29:29
◼
►
does some strange visual stuff I'm like
[TS]
01:29:32
◼
►
ok I don't like that it's better than I
[TS]
01:29:33
◼
►
guess jump to end maybe which you can
[TS]
01:29:35
◼
►
still do with some other sequences of
[TS]
01:29:36
◼
►
inputs but I like I want my 30-second
[TS]
01:29:39
◼
►
skip back so I did it's like place like
[TS]
01:29:41
◼
►
30 select and realized it didn't work I
[TS]
01:29:43
◼
►
wasn't even looking at the screen but I
[TS]
01:29:44
◼
►
realize it didn't work because when
[TS]
01:29:45
◼
►
you're watching you have to type this
[TS]
01:29:46
◼
►
when you're watching television when you
[TS]
01:29:49
◼
►
hit select when you're watching
[TS]
01:29:50
◼
►
television with the new HD interface it
[TS]
01:29:51
◼
►
brings up a menu thing like that
[TS]
01:29:53
◼
►
actually does something unlike on the
[TS]
01:29:55
◼
►
previous TV O's where select did nothing
[TS]
01:29:56
◼
►
and you were just entering your code and
[TS]
01:29:57
◼
►
it was like watching your remote input
[TS]
01:30:00
◼
►
to accept this code so then I'd to go
[TS]
01:30:03
◼
►
back to the computer and say oh surely I
[TS]
01:30:04
◼
►
would have heard about this this was
[TS]
01:30:05
◼
►
actually a problem so a little bit of
[TS]
01:30:07
◼
►
googling around found okay so the secret
[TS]
01:30:09
◼
►
way to enable select place like 30
[TS]
01:30:11
◼
►
select on your TiVo premiere for all
[TS]
01:30:12
◼
►
those people out there who might be
[TS]
01:30:13
◼
►
wondering how to do this you have to
[TS]
01:30:16
◼
►
switch to the old UI hey finally a use
[TS]
01:30:18
◼
►
for the old for keeping the old UI
[TS]
01:30:20
◼
►
around go to the interface say please
[TS]
01:30:22
◼
►
use the old menus start watching a TV
[TS]
01:30:24
◼
►
program and lo and behold now select
[TS]
01:30:25
◼
►
does nothing and you can do a select
[TS]
01:30:26
◼
►
place like very select done then I
[TS]
01:30:29
◼
►
changed back to the new menus because I
[TS]
01:30:31
◼
►
do actually like them better for for
[TS]
01:30:32
◼
►
finding programs and stuff and hit the
[TS]
01:30:35
◼
►
button and it jumps toward 32nd like yay
[TS]
01:30:36
◼
►
fine turnoff done for the day then when
[TS]
01:30:39
◼
►
I was actually watching TV with it maybe
[TS]
01:30:40
◼
►
it was that night or some other time the
[TS]
01:30:42
◼
►
first commercial break comes along and I
[TS]
01:30:43
◼
►
do my typical thing to pick up the
[TS]
01:30:45
◼
►
remote and go tap tap tap tap tap maybe
[TS]
01:30:47
◼
►
usually like six times or whatever I
[TS]
01:30:48
◼
►
just got how kind of having a two to
[TS]
01:30:49
◼
►
feel for how many multiples of 30
[TS]
01:30:51
◼
►
seconds so I think this commercial break
[TS]
01:30:52
◼
►
is going to be and as I get down to like
[TS]
01:30:55
◼
►
the six or seven tap look up at the TV
[TS]
01:30:56
◼
►
see if I can see a frame from the from
[TS]
01:30:59
◼
►
the program that I was watching
[TS]
01:31:00
◼
►
the button or maybe go back eight
[TS]
01:31:02
◼
►
seconds the forward thirty back eight
[TS]
01:31:05
◼
►
equation it's kind of hardwired into my
[TS]
01:31:07
◼
►
brain after all these years of doing
[TS]
01:31:08
◼
►
this now what they've managed to do on
[TS]
01:31:11
◼
►
the TiVo premier elite the highest at
[TS]
01:31:13
◼
►
high-end the most expensive the
[TS]
01:31:14
◼
►
presumably most powerful box at TiVo
[TS]
01:31:16
◼
►
sells is that now when you go tap tap
[TS]
01:31:19
◼
►
tap tap tap on a 30-second skip button
[TS]
01:31:21
◼
►
the video does not change it freezes on
[TS]
01:31:25
◼
►
the frame that you are watching before
[TS]
01:31:26
◼
►
the first time you hit the button if it
[TS]
01:31:29
◼
►
doesn't have time between your taps to
[TS]
01:31:30
◼
►
change the frame of the video so you
[TS]
01:31:32
◼
►
have no idea when you should stop
[TS]
01:31:33
◼
►
tapping if you go tap and then wait a
[TS]
01:31:35
◼
►
second then you'll see a frame of video
[TS]
01:31:36
◼
►
then tap and then wait a second oh then
[TS]
01:31:38
◼
►
I see it for any video gotta go more and
[TS]
01:31:39
◼
►
tap and then wait a second they've made
[TS]
01:31:43
◼
►
the performance a 30-second skip worse
[TS]
01:31:45
◼
►
with their more powerful elite super
[TS]
01:31:48
◼
►
expensive highest end product it is now
[TS]
01:31:50
◼
►
basically unusable because how can I
[TS]
01:31:52
◼
►
skip come on like if I wanted to tap in
[TS]
01:31:54
◼
►
and wait for their show frame I might as
[TS]
01:31:55
◼
►
well just scan that's what I'm doing now
[TS]
01:31:56
◼
►
I'm hitting the fast-forward Scan button
[TS]
01:31:59
◼
►
three times like an animal just
[TS]
01:32:02
◼
►
commercial that's no way to will live I
[TS]
01:32:04
◼
►
don't want to see the commercial scan
[TS]
01:32:05
◼
►
past me as a series of little fuzzy
[TS]
01:32:08
◼
►
images and the thing is like how is that
[TS]
01:32:11
◼
►
different what do you care if if it's
[TS]
01:32:13
◼
►
the image of scanning past you first I
[TS]
01:32:15
◼
►
just find that visually uncomfortable
[TS]
01:32:17
◼
►
because what I'm trying to do is watch
[TS]
01:32:19
◼
►
to see when the program is on again I
[TS]
01:32:22
◼
►
don't like seeing the snuggle fabric
[TS]
01:32:23
◼
►
softener bear going dancing by really
[TS]
01:32:25
◼
►
fast or something else it just is it
[TS]
01:32:28
◼
►
just made you that you find that like
[TS]
01:32:29
◼
►
visually uncomfortable to watch
[TS]
01:32:31
◼
►
something in a fast-forward scan with
[TS]
01:32:33
◼
►
the intent that you're trying to see
[TS]
01:32:34
◼
►
when you should stop like you're trying
[TS]
01:32:35
◼
►
to watch you to see when should I stop
[TS]
01:32:36
◼
►
when do the commercials end in the
[TS]
01:32:37
◼
►
program I don't like seeing that which
[TS]
01:32:39
◼
►
is why I love 30-second skip because I
[TS]
01:32:41
◼
►
know that the commercial is gonna be at
[TS]
01:32:43
◼
►
least you know one minute or two minutes
[TS]
01:32:44
◼
►
or three minutes like you get a feel for
[TS]
01:32:46
◼
►
how long the commercial breaks are I
[TS]
01:32:47
◼
►
don't even have to look at the screen
[TS]
01:32:48
◼
►
till the fourth or fifth app when I know
[TS]
01:32:49
◼
►
me near the end and then I just see
[TS]
01:32:51
◼
►
frame frame frame frame thirty seconds
[TS]
01:32:53
◼
►
as soon as I see the first frame that
[TS]
01:32:55
◼
►
looks like fringe I let go of the button
[TS]
01:32:56
◼
►
or maybe hit back eight you know it just
[TS]
01:33:00
◼
►
verses the scan thing where you do scan
[TS]
01:33:02
◼
►
scan scan stands in and see the program
[TS]
01:33:03
◼
►
and when you hit okay I see the program
[TS]
01:33:05
◼
►
hit play it does this back off thing
[TS]
01:33:07
◼
►
where it realizes you probably overshot
[TS]
01:33:08
◼
►
so it backs off but backs off way
[TS]
01:33:10
◼
►
farther than I need it to because it
[TS]
01:33:11
◼
►
assumes I have the reflexes of an 80
[TS]
01:33:13
◼
►
year old or something
[TS]
01:33:14
◼
►
so now you really back something off way
[TS]
01:33:16
◼
►
into the in like okay this must be the
[TS]
01:33:17
◼
►
middle the last commercial so just let
[TS]
01:33:19
◼
►
it play and the commercial ends and
[TS]
01:33:20
◼
►
there's another commercial you like it
[TS]
01:33:21
◼
►
pushed me back past two commercials so I
[TS]
01:33:23
◼
►
gotta wait until I see lots of it's just
[TS]
01:33:24
◼
►
incredibly fresh I never would have
[TS]
01:33:27
◼
►

thinking that the the cable DVR was bad

but I actually think maybe TiVo is worse
[TS]
01:35:14
◼

now it's not though because I've used
[TS]
01:35:16
◼
►
these cable DVRs they are they are worse
[TS]
01:35:18
◼

there uglier they are slower they have
[TS]
01:35:21
◼
►
far fewer features they have they are
[TS]
01:35:24
◼

terrible and they're the reliability of
[TS]
01:35:26
◼

like I said that the record but it's
[TS]
01:35:27
◼

like it didn't and I don't know why or
[TS]
01:35:29
◼

where did that chef go it they are worse

01:35:34
◼

cable company isn't if that's what
[TS]
01:35:36
◼
►
you're competing with for hardware and
[TS]
01:35:37
◼
►
software products this we've talked
[TS]
01:35:39
◼

about it before I would've loved for
[TS]
01:35:40
◼
►
Apple to make a DVR they're not going to
[TS]
01:35:41
◼

do it that that's an old technology
[TS]
01:35:43
◼

I like DVRs I like what TiVo does for me
[TS]
01:35:46
◼
►
I would rather have my Devo DVR than not
[TS]
01:35:49
◼

have it is just frustrating to me that
[TS]
01:35:50
◼
►
they seem outside the the laws of
[TS]
01:35:55
◼
►
physics time for some crazy reason yeah
[TS]
01:36:01
◼
►
and have one more bonus item even though
[TS]
01:36:03
◼
►
I'm not gonna talk about all the other
[TS]
01:36:04
◼
►
stuff I bought maybe we'll do that in
[TS]
01:36:06
◼
►
the show I have one more bonus I'd okay
[TS]
01:36:07
◼
►
that's vaguely related so we can smoke
[TS]
01:36:11
◼
►
alarms all over the house as you have to
[TS]
01:36:12
◼
►
have one of the ones we have is at the
[TS]
01:36:14
◼
►
top of the stairs and this was a smoke
[TS]
01:36:16
◼
►
alarm that was in the house before we
[TS]
01:36:18
◼
►
bought it it's not one of the new ones
[TS]
01:36:19
◼
►
that we put in and it was really could
[TS]
01:36:21
◼
►
look at it it was kind of like a you
[TS]
01:36:22
◼
►
know an 80s or 90s style plastic smoke
[TS]
01:36:26
◼
►
detector and we do like every six months
[TS]
01:36:28
◼
►
or whatever go around the whole house
[TS]
01:36:29
◼
►
with a bunch of nine volts and replace
[TS]
01:36:31
◼
►
all the batteries because these are
[TS]
01:36:31
◼
►
battery-powered they're not they're not
[TS]
01:36:32
◼
►
wired in because when the batteries get
[TS]
01:36:34
◼
►
low in a smoke detector it does this
[TS]
01:36:35
◼
►
little beep little piercing beep once
[TS]
01:36:38
◼
►
every you know 60 seconds or something
[TS]
01:36:40
◼
►
and then you like where'd that come from
[TS]
01:36:41
◼
►
Chris to be especially and it always
[TS]
01:36:44
◼
►
happens like in the middle of the night
[TS]
01:36:45
◼
►
where's that beep and you wait for it
[TS]
01:36:47
◼
►
again beep yeah where's fresh it always
[TS]
01:36:48
◼
►
happened when whenever we would have a
[TS]
01:36:50
◼
►
houseguest it would happen yeah and you
[TS]
01:36:53
◼
►
gotta find it's very difficult to sort
[TS]
01:36:55
◼
►
of locate where a high-pitched single
[TS]
01:36:57
◼
►
noise is coming from beep twice you have
[TS]
01:36:59
◼
►
like better odds was you could like turn
[TS]
01:37:01
◼
►
your head and compare did that you know
[TS]
01:37:03
◼
►
your brain is doing this for you but
[TS]
01:37:04
◼
►
like did I hear more of that in the
[TS]
01:37:05
◼
►
right ear lifelike directional sound
[TS]
01:37:07
◼
►
very difficult is you hunt it down and
[TS]
01:37:08
◼
►
that's why you replace the batteries on
[TS]
01:37:10
◼
►
a regular schedule every six months so
[TS]
01:37:11
◼
►
you want to deal with that it's like
[TS]
01:37:12
◼
►
they're all fresh and when you know in
[TS]
01:37:14
◼
►
six months we'll just replace them all
[TS]
01:37:15
◼
►
again even if they're not dead or
[TS]
01:37:16
◼
►
whatever just easier that way but this
[TS]
01:37:18
◼
►
one we recently did a big replacement
[TS]
01:37:20
◼
►
this one was still doing like weird
[TS]
01:37:21
◼
►
chirping and occasionally making louder
[TS]
01:37:23
◼
►
noises like BP people like it's going
[TS]
01:37:25
◼
►
off and like what's going on with that
[TS]
01:37:26
◼
►
you know is it because it's like smoke
[TS]
01:37:29
◼
►
from the kitchen or steam from a shower
[TS]
01:37:30
◼
►
why is it you know and turns out we're
[TS]
01:37:32
◼
►
just like look it just must be old and
[TS]
01:37:34
◼
►
broken it's making too many beeps we
[TS]
01:37:35
◼
►
know the battery's not dead we just put
[TS]
01:37:36
◼
►
a freshman's just got a new smoke
[TS]
01:37:38
◼
►
detector so down comes the old one
[TS]
01:37:41
◼

[TS]
01:37:42
◼
►
water and know where she picked it up
[TS]
01:37:43
◼
►
it's just you know you knew it's a smoke
[TS]
01:37:45
◼
►
and carbon monoxide detector because
[TS]
01:37:47
◼
►
they usually combine them these days so
[TS]
01:37:49
◼
►
I can take it out of the box this takes
[TS]
01:37:51
◼
►
a double ace instead of nine volts fine
[TS]
01:37:53
◼
►
shove them in there push the battery
[TS]
01:37:55
◼
►
compartment closed and this is a talking
[TS]
01:37:57
◼
►
one so it says welcome set room name is
[TS]
01:38:01
◼
►
this the bedroom living room got anyone
[TS]
01:38:05
◼
►
you wait have to wait for it it has like
[TS]
01:38:06
◼
►
spoken instructions which by the way the
[TS]
01:38:07
◼
►
instructions are spoken at the same
[TS]
01:38:09
◼
►
piercing volume it's the alarm
[TS]
01:38:10
◼
►
if the klaxon it sounds when there's
[TS]
01:38:12
◼
►
smoke and so you hold down the little
[TS]
01:38:14
◼
►
button when it gets to the thing you
[TS]
01:38:15
◼
►
want ours was at the top of stairs was
[TS]
01:38:16
◼
►
hallway so it's like you have selected
[TS]
01:38:18
◼
►
hallway you know then it says testing
[TS]
01:38:21
◼
►
fire in hallway evacuate evacuate bpp
[TS]
01:38:25
◼
►
evacuate you know fine whatever the
[TS]
01:38:28
◼
►
voice I guess helps you know it still
[TS]
01:38:30
◼
►
had the regular siren type noise they
[TS]
01:38:32
◼
►
would wake you up is very very loud and
[TS]
01:38:35
◼
►
and then at the end it says car monoxide
[TS]
01:38:39
◼
►
detected event great beer at the end of
[TS]
01:38:41
◼
►
the test it says previous carbon
[TS]
01:38:43
◼
►
monoxide level was zero ppm you know
[TS]
01:38:46
◼
►
it's just the test thing like alright
[TS]
01:38:48
◼
►
fine so now we know what that's going to
[TS]
01:38:50
◼
►
sound like it's all set I bet it will
[TS]
01:38:51
◼
►
probably I think I read the instructions
[TS]
01:38:52
◼
►
and like it will talk to you when the
[TS]
01:38:53
◼
►
battery is low will say battery low in
[TS]
01:38:56
◼
►
smoke detector in hallway I'm like
[TS]
01:38:57
◼
►
that's much better than the single beep
[TS]
01:38:59
◼
►
because then it will tell me where it is
[TS]
01:39:00
◼
►
and we only have one talking one in the
[TS]
01:39:01
◼
►
house anyway but it'll be clear when the
[TS]
01:39:03
◼
►
batteries bit put it up in the ceiling
[TS]
01:39:05
◼
►
make little new screw holes for its
[TS]
01:39:07
◼
►
clicking in there all set that was like

01:39:09
◼
►
in the morning sometime in the evening

[TS]
01:39:15
◼
►

[TS]
01:39:17
◼
►
now by the way this is really hurting my
[TS]
01:39:19
◼
►
parenting because when we're getting
[TS]
01:39:20
◼
►
this new thing when the kids are in the
[TS]
01:39:21
◼
►
house and trying to say wow kids what
[TS]
01:39:23
◼
►
are you doing here the smoke detector
[TS]
01:39:24
◼
►
now like don't hide in your room don't
[TS]
01:39:27
◼
►
stop looking all over the house for
[TS]
01:39:28
◼
►
mommy you go out of the house you don't
[TS]
01:39:30
◼
►
go on the street you go to the neighbors
[TS]
01:39:31
◼
►
you you know call the firemen like
[TS]
01:39:33
◼
►
teaching kids what to do when they hear
[TS]
01:39:34
◼
►
a fire alarm and I get this at school
[TS]
01:39:35
◼
►
and take care to you know that I'm
[TS]
01:39:37
◼
►
basically trying to avoid them getting
[TS]
01:39:39
◼
►
scared hiding under their covers and
[TS]
01:39:40
◼
►
staying in their room because you want
[TS]
01:39:41
◼
►
kids when they hear a fire alarm to get
[TS]
01:39:42
◼
►
out of the house even if they can't find
[TS]
01:39:44
◼
►
you or perhaps especially if they can't
[TS]
01:39:45
◼
►
find you get out of pass I don't know if
[TS]
01:39:47
◼
►
that's where you're supposed to tell
[TS]
01:39:48
◼
►
kids that's what I'm telling my kids
[TS]
01:39:49
◼
►
because that seems like the most logical
[TS]
01:39:50
◼
►
thing because I don't want them to hide
[TS]
01:39:52
◼
►
in their bedrooms assuming you know my
[TS]
01:39:54
◼
►
you know my wife and I are both dead in
[TS]
01:39:56
◼
►
our beds I don't want them to say well I
[TS]
01:39:58
◼
►
think go outside the house with mom
[TS]
01:39:59
◼
►
again it's all quiet under my covers but
[TS]
01:40:02
◼
►

[TS]
01:40:05
◼
►
warning evacuate warning like you just
[TS]
01:40:07
◼
►
got through telling them they're
[TS]
01:40:08
◼
►
supposed to leave the house so you can't
[TS]
01:40:10
◼
►
tell them now like like you as an adult
[TS]
01:40:12
◼
►
know that nothing is actually on fire
[TS]
01:40:13
◼
►
but you have to - you know I almost okay
[TS]
01:40:16
◼
►
kids like this is not an actual alarm
[TS]
01:40:18
◼
►
but then you're telling them it's like
[TS]
01:40:20
◼
►
like that the smoke alarm that cried
[TS]
01:40:22
◼
►
well when you hear it ignore it because
[TS]
01:40:24
◼
►
most of the time is just a false alarm
[TS]
01:40:26
◼
►
it goes off for real live like out it's
[TS]
01:40:28
◼
►
just that thing going off again he
[TS]
01:40:29
◼
►
always tells me to ignore it right so
[TS]
01:40:31
◼
►
this is bad so it goes off in the middle
[TS]
01:40:32
◼
►
of the day I don't like what that what
[TS]
01:40:33
◼
►

[TS]
01:40:38
◼
►

01:40:39
◼
►
like I go up to it I hold on the little
[TS]
01:40:41
◼

[TS]
01:41:48
◼
►
I'm I'm kind of technically minded but I
[TS]
01:41:51
◼
►
don't expect to have to like read
[TS]
01:41:53
◼
►
extensive instructions on how to operate

01:41:54
◼

a farm it was an operator error was I

01:41:59
◼
►
I'm gonna read these damn instructions
[TS]
01:42:00
◼
►
because you figure with the firearms got
[TS]
01:42:02
◼
►
one button that's test slash silence
[TS]
01:42:05
◼
►
it's got batteries and that should be
[TS]
01:42:07
◼
►
and this one even talks to you so I
[TS]
01:42:08
◼
►
there shouldn't be this big setup
[TS]
01:42:09
◼
►
procedure so I find the manual which I
[TS]
01:42:11
◼
►
saved and I sit there and I read it and
[TS]
01:42:13
◼
►
I read had the setup instructions and
[TS]
01:42:16
◼
►
what you're supposed to do my get butt
[TS]
01:42:17
◼
►
did that yep I did that I did exactly
[TS]
01:42:18
◼
►
that I look to see if it's got a test
[TS]
01:42:20
◼
►
itself weekly says no I won't test the
[TS]
01:42:22
◼
►
bra test ourselves weekly yeah not
[TS]
01:42:23
◼
►
nothing about that nothing about self
[TS]
01:42:25
◼
►
testing or going off randomly nothing
[TS]
01:42:27
◼
►
about false alarms except it says you
[TS]
01:42:29
◼
►
know where you should put it yet but I
[TS]
01:42:30
◼
►
follow those instructions don't put it
[TS]
01:42:32
◼
►
near the stove don't put it in a
[TS]
01:42:34
◼
►
bathroom don't put it in play in all
[TS]
01:42:35
◼
►
this true and especially senses that you
[TS]
01:42:37
◼
►
know it would always say 0 ppm at the
[TS]
01:42:39
◼
►
end so it's not detecting carbon
[TS]
01:42:40
◼
►
monoxide like it's like are you sure
[TS]
01:42:41
◼
►
you're not being poisoned by it was
[TS]
01:42:43
◼
►
telling me 0 ppm every single time so
[TS]
01:42:45
◼
►
it's not carbon monoxide that was
[TS]
01:42:47
◼
►
setting the thing I'll feeder and it
[TS]
01:42:48
◼
►
said the word testing in the beginning
[TS]
01:42:49
◼
►
so it was triggering the testing
[TS]
01:42:51
◼
►
procedure so finally I got the section
[TS]
01:42:52
◼
►
of the manual to explain what was going
[TS]
01:42:54
◼
►
on they said to test your bla bla bla
[TS]
01:42:58
◼
►
fire alarm press and hold the testing
[TS]
01:43:00
◼
►
button or use the channel or volume up
[TS]
01:43:03
◼
►
and down buttons on your remote control
[TS]
01:43:05
◼
►
to test it and I assume that it didn't
[TS]
01:43:08
◼
►
say this this is if you have a very high
[TS]
01:43:09
◼
►
ceiling in a room and the smoke alarm is
[TS]
01:43:12
◼
►
like like a cathedral ceiling or
[TS]
01:43:13
◼
►
something in a smoke alarm is up in the
[TS]
01:43:14
◼
►
cathedral ceiling and you can't reach it
[TS]
01:43:16
◼
►
that you can test it and silence it by
[TS]
01:43:18
◼
►
pointing your remote control at it so
[TS]
01:43:20
◼
►
this fire alarm has an IR sensor
[TS]
01:43:23
◼
►
somewhere inside it oh no now there's no
[TS]
01:43:26
◼
►
television is in the bedroom and totally
[TS]
01:43:28
◼
►
facing the other direction is not facing
[TS]
01:43:30
◼
►
you know so and we were asleep when this
[TS]
01:43:32
◼
►
thing went off it's like 2 a.m. right so
[TS]
01:43:33
◼
►
it's not our remote that's firing it but
[TS]
01:43:35
◼
►
there is a line of sight from the smoke
[TS]
01:43:37
◼
►
detector out the window through the
[TS]
01:43:40
◼
►
neighbors window into the neighbor's
[TS]
01:43:42
◼
►
house and I can imagine the neighbor
[TS]
01:43:44
◼
►
probably has oh you've got to be kidding
[TS]
01:43:46
◼
►
an IR blaster of some kind you know when
[TS]
01:43:48
◼
►
IR blaster is like you have some device
[TS]
01:43:50
◼
►
that's controlled by IR but you want
[TS]
01:43:52
◼
►
some other device to control it so you
[TS]
01:43:53
◼
►
take this IR blaster which is something
[TS]
01:43:54
◼
►
that sprays IR in all directions to try
[TS]
01:43:57
◼
►
to activate your device and that's why I
[TS]
01:43:59
◼
►
mentioned before the IR blaster for the
[TS]
01:44:00
◼
►
TiVo what's going on was that my
[TS]
01:44:02
◼
►
neighbor or something over there was
[TS]
01:44:04
◼
►
watching TV in the middle of the night
[TS]
01:44:06
◼
►
and just happened to point the remote in
[TS]
01:44:08
◼
►
the wrong direction or the IR blaster
[TS]
01:44:10
◼
►
came through there and they're
[TS]
01:44:11
◼
►
activating like my white smoke alarm in
[TS]
01:44:15
◼
►
the middle of the night and it was
[TS]
01:44:18
◼
►
unbelievable yeah so I'm going to say to
[TS]
01:44:21
◼
►
smoke alarm
[TS]
01:44:22
◼
►
companies I think the idea of having a
[TS]
01:44:25
◼
►
an IR sensor in your smoke detector for
[TS]
01:44:28
◼
►
places where it's up high that I think
[TS]
01:44:31
◼
►
that makes sense because you don't want
[TS]
01:44:32
◼
►
someone to climb in a tall ladder and it
[TS]
01:44:33
◼
►
would be nice to be able to test your
[TS]
01:44:35
◼
►
thing or whatever uh but there has to be
[TS]
01:44:38
◼
►
way to disable to disable that because I
[TS]
01:44:40
◼
►
can literally not use the smoke detector
[TS]
01:44:42
◼
►
because that's where it's all supposed
[TS]
01:44:44
◼
►
to be the hallway smoke detector we have
[TS]
01:44:45
◼
►
them in the bedrooms this is the hallway
[TS]
01:44:47
◼
►
one and the hallway has line-of-sight
[TS]
01:44:48
◼
►
apparently two sources of IR let's say
[TS]
01:44:51
◼
►
I'm not gonna blame my knee before
[TS]
01:44:51
◼
►
they're just watching TV or whatever or
[TS]
01:44:53
◼
►
whatever they're doing so that smoke
[TS]
01:44:56
◼
►
detector is gone and when I buy a new
[TS]
01:44:58
◼
►
smoke detector now I have a new thing to
[TS]
01:45:00
◼
►
look for on the box does this thing tout
[TS]
01:45:02
◼
►
any feature that allows it to work with
[TS]
01:45:04
◼
►
the remote control if it does I cannot
[TS]
01:45:05
◼
►
buy it so let this be a warning to
[TS]
01:45:07
◼
►
everyone when you the next time you have
[TS]
01:45:08
◼
►
to buy a new smoke detector you may not
[TS]
01:45:09
◼
►
know that many of them come with the
[TS]
01:45:11
◼
►
ability to detect infrared signals
[TS]
01:45:14
◼
►
consider not buying one of those if it's
[TS]
01:45:16
◼
►
somewhere that you can reach the end
[TS]
01:45:20
◼
►
that's terrible it's terrible terrible
[TS]
01:45:24
◼
►
terrible and and quite funny John it's
[TS]
01:45:28
◼
►
not funny at 2:00 a.m. let me tell you
[TS]
01:45:32
◼
►
not funny at all oh boy now it's your
[TS]
01:45:38
◼
►
wife just used to this kind of thing
[TS]
01:45:40
◼
►
with you you cannot blame this on me she
[TS]
01:45:43
◼
►
bought the smoke detector about me and
[TS]
01:45:44
◼
►
I'm the one who has to get out of the
[TS]
01:45:45
◼
►
bed because she can't reach the ceiling
[TS]
01:45:46
◼
►
how no one has to get another better
[TS]
01:45:48
◼
►
than it 2:00 a.m. and disabled the thing
[TS]
01:45:50
◼
►
she still will find a way to be mad at
[TS]
01:45:52
◼
►
me about it but that but it's not
[TS]
01:45:53
◼
►
actually my fault let's keep that does
[TS]
01:45:55
◼
►
think so yeah and I think she should be
[TS]
01:45:58
◼
►
very happy with the fact that more or
[TS]
01:46:00
◼
►
less within a two day window got this
[TS]
01:46:02
◼
►
whole big reshuffling of internet that
[TS]
01:46:05
◼
►
television phone in new television new
[TS]
01:46:08
◼
►
TiVo blu-ray player everything all set
[TS]
01:46:10
◼
►
up and she didn't have to worry about it
[TS]
01:46:12
◼
►
and that's that's something I should
[TS]
01:46:14
◼
►
talk about another show the effort the
[TS]
01:46:16
◼
►
effort required by me to get a wireless
[TS]
01:46:18
◼
►
connection to my TiVo in the upstairs
[TS]
01:46:20
◼
►
bedroom not beyond my means as a geek
[TS]
01:46:23
◼
►
but there's no way anyone who was not a
[TS]
01:46:25
◼
►
geek could have successfully done this
[TS]
01:46:26
◼
►
no way at all it was it intensely
[TS]
01:46:29
◼
►
complicated so I think I'm still earning
[TS]
01:46:33
◼
►
my keep and as I said she bought this
[TS]
01:46:36
◼
►
smoke detector on me I should put a link
[TS]
01:46:39
◼
►
in the show notes the smoke detector I'm
[TS]
01:46:40
◼
►
going to buy to replace this but I
[TS]
01:46:41
◼
►
haven't picked one yet but presumably I
[TS]
01:46:43
◼
►
will be able to find one that
[TS]
01:46:44
◼
►
emphatically does not have an IR
[TS]
01:46:46
◼
►
detector and I'll buy that so in a
[TS]
01:46:51
◼
►
little long talked about some stuff
[TS]
01:46:52
◼
►
that's not really iPad related to put I
[TS]
01:46:55
◼
►
think we're done now all right
[TS]
01:47:00
◼
►
the the chatroom is under the distinct
[TS]
01:47:03
◼
►
you know the consensus that this was an
[TS]
01:47:06
◼
►
epic episode for you an epic rant

01:47:08
◼
►
mmm-hmm I agree with them it's just it's
[TS]
01:47:11
