using pascal it might leak that they're

using in video but it wouldn't it

00:01:07
◼

00:01:09
◼
►
using you know that it would leak that
[TS]
00:01:10
◼
►
are using pascal architecture would just
[TS]
00:01:12

be a question of like which part but

[TS]
00:03:22
◼
►
yet to have a chance to even look at it
[TS]
00:03:24
◼
►
there are definitely parts as much as I
[TS]
00:03:26
◼
►
snark that um that I that I think are
[TS]
00:03:28
◼
►
interesting that I'd like to read a
[TS]
00:03:29
◼
►
little more about but I have another
[TS]
00:03:30
◼
►
chance yet so you can check that out in
[TS]
00:03:33
◼
►
the show notes is that really the only
[TS]
00:03:36
◼
►
Mac Pro follow because how many other
[TS]
00:03:38
◼
►
topic I see the topic is anyway we'll
[TS]
00:03:40
◼
►
get to it on the transcript I read the
[TS]
00:03:43
◼
►
whole transcript and of course surprise
[TS]
00:03:45
◼
►
surprise the you know the people they
[TS]
00:03:47
◼
►
had their reporting on it did a good job
[TS]
00:03:49
◼
►
reporting on it like there's any
[TS]
00:03:51
◼
►
important information in the transcript
[TS]
00:03:53
◼
►
that you're missing you can read it just
[TS]
00:03:54
◼
►
to get a flavor of what they said and
[TS]
00:03:56
◼
►
stuff like that but this it was well
[TS]
00:03:59
◼
►
covered but you know it's not as if they
[TS]
00:04:01
◼
►
left out of major sections that were
[TS]
00:04:02
◼
►
important the only fun thing about the
[TS]
00:04:05
◼
►
transcript as you can see since it's a
[TS]
00:04:06
◼
►
fairly faithful transcript I would
[TS]
00:04:08
◼
►
imagine because it's got all people's
[TS]
00:04:09
◼
►
false starts and weird sentence
[TS]
00:04:11
◼
►
structures and stuff it's just what
[TS]
00:04:13
◼
►
happens when people speak you can see
[TS]
00:04:17
◼
►
occasionally people getting their
[TS]
00:04:21
◼
►
raining in their instincts one
[TS]
00:04:22
◼
►
particular instance is a Craig federighi
[TS]
00:04:24
◼
►
talking about
[TS]
00:04:25
◼
►
you know the old Mac Pro and the
[TS]
00:04:28
◼
►
architecture with the tube in the
[TS]
00:04:29
◼
►
heating and you know how it was
[TS]
00:04:31
◼
►
difficult to put different components
[TS]
00:04:34
◼
►
and everything and so he talks about all
[TS]
00:04:35
◼
►
of that and then he said how they really
[TS]
00:04:39
◼
►
put a lot of energy behind that design
[TS]
00:04:41
◼
►
and his the next bit is in retrospect
[TS]
00:04:43
◼
►
that was dot dot dot and he's about to
[TS]
00:04:47
◼
►
say in retrospect that was it that was a
[TS]
00:04:48
◼
►
mistake that was the right idea that was
[TS]
00:04:50
◼
►
not the right thing to do but he doesn't
[TS]
00:04:52
◼
►
say that because he's disciplined he
[TS]
00:04:54
◼
►
gets into the sentence for that he is
[TS]
00:04:55
◼
►
abort abort in retrospect that was new
[TS]
00:04:58
◼
►
sentence while that system is going to
[TS]
00:04:59
◼
►
be fantastic for a huge number of
[TS]
00:05:01
◼
►
customers we want to do more there you
[TS]
00:05:03
◼
►
go and fill smiles next to us it's a
[TS]
00:05:05
◼
►
good job Greggy almost you almost landed
[TS]
00:05:06
◼
►
in it there but anyway they're very
[TS]
00:05:09
◼
►
disciplined with their message Craig
[TS]
00:05:12
◼
►
still manages to be funny and witty
[TS]
00:05:13
◼
►
within the bounds of being disciplined
[TS]
00:05:16
◼
►
for PR and Phyllis is Phyllis fell he's
[TS]
00:05:20
◼
►
the guy we know and love so if if you
[TS]
00:05:23
◼
►
have seen a lot of presentations with
[TS]
00:05:25
◼
►
the people who are at this meeting then
[TS]
00:05:28
◼
►
you will definitely get the flavor of
[TS]
00:05:29
◼
►
them just reading the transcript and I
[TS]
00:05:31
◼
►
don't know much about John Curtis I'm
[TS]
00:05:33
◼
►
not sure I've ever seen him on stage but
[TS]
00:05:34
◼
►
he's the other guy fair enough alright
[TS]
00:05:38
◼
►
moving on that's then just like that
[TS]
00:05:39
◼
►
we're done with Mac Pro right kids right
[TS]
00:05:41
◼
►
okay so work alone so somebody that
[TS]
00:05:44
◼
►
listen star show had a conversation with
[TS]
00:05:46
◼
►
the support team at work flow and they
[TS]
00:05:50
◼
►
received the following email which was
[TS]
00:05:53
◼
►
then forwarded on to us the person at
[TS]
00:05:55
◼
►
work flow said you know blah blah blah
[TS]
00:05:58
◼
►
fix for your problem blah blah blah but
[TS]
00:06:01
◼
►
just so you know we have no further
[TS]
00:06:03
◼
►
planned updates for workflow that being
[TS]
00:06:06
◼
►
said we are continuing to support
[TS]
00:06:08
◼
►
workflows current functionality have no
[TS]
00:06:09
◼
►
plans to end supports let me know if you
[TS]
00:06:11
◼
►
run across any buds or crashes cue the
[TS]
00:06:14
◼
►
sad trombone here Marco womp womp yeah I
[TS]
00:06:18
◼
►
mean to be honest like you know when we
[TS]
00:06:20
◼
►
when workflow was acquired and we did
[TS]
00:06:22
◼
►
mention like you know they they might
[TS]
00:06:24
◼
►
just let it die or kill it outright and
[TS]
00:06:27
◼
►
you know have have the staff work on
[TS]
00:06:29
◼
►
other stuff built into iOS that was kind
[TS]
00:06:31
◼
►
of the the long term idea that was most
[TS]
00:06:33
◼
►
likely to happen I will admit I did not
[TS]
00:06:36
◼
►
foresee them
[TS]
00:06:38
◼
►
because of the way it was bought and
[TS]
00:06:41
◼
►
because of the messaging around the time
[TS]
00:06:42
◼
►
that it was bought and and what they
[TS]
00:06:44
◼
►
told the users I did not foresee them
[TS]
00:06:47
◼
►
totally stopping all updates to the app
[TS]
00:06:50
◼
►
right now or at least like I think what
[TS]
00:06:52
◼
►
what what this the other way this reads
[TS]
00:06:54
◼
►
it's like they might do bug fix updates
[TS]
00:06:57
◼
►
but that's it like no new features are
[TS]
00:06:59
◼
►
coming to work flow and that is
[TS]
00:07:02
◼
►
unfortunate but i guess not a huge
[TS]
00:07:06
◼
►
surprise you know because like that's
[TS]
00:07:08
◼
►
that's what happens with you know this
[TS]
00:07:09
◼
►
was clearly an aqua hire you know in the
[TS]
00:07:13
◼
►
sense that Apple wanted the staff more
[TS]
00:07:15
◼
►
than the product and whether that was to
[TS]
00:07:17
◼
►
make the staff work on something boring
[TS]
00:07:19
◼
►
like you know Mail app probably not it
[TS]
00:07:22
◼
►
was probably to have the staff work on
[TS]
00:07:23
◼
►
workflow like functionality you know the
[TS]
00:07:26
◼
►
automation technologies for iOS that you
[TS]
00:07:28
◼
►
know that's that's my guess but the fact
[TS]
00:07:32
◼
►
is if you're a workflow user this
[TS]
00:07:33
◼
►
doesn't make it any easier to take that
[TS]
00:07:35
◼
►
basically workflow is effectively dead
[TS]
00:07:39
◼
►
in in the sense that no one will really
[TS]
00:07:41
◼
►
be working on it anymore unless they
[TS]
00:07:44
◼
►
want to fix some bugs for some reason
[TS]
00:07:46
◼
►
but that's about it so that that is
[TS]
00:07:48
◼
►
pretty unfortunate for workflow users
[TS]
00:07:49
◼
►
and i hope i hope that in the end this
[TS]
00:07:52
◼
►
will prove worth it you know like in in
[TS]
00:07:55
◼
►
in many aqua hires what happens is the
[TS]
00:07:59
◼
►
product gets shut down the team goes to
[TS]
00:08:01
◼
►
work on something similar within the
[TS]
00:08:02
◼
►
bigger acquiring company and sometimes
[TS]
00:08:05
◼
►
that sees the light of day and sometimes
[TS]
00:08:07
◼
►
it doesn't or sometimes what what
[TS]
00:08:09
◼
►
eventually comes out of that from the
[TS]
00:08:10
◼
►
bigger company is not nearly as good as
[TS]
00:08:12
◼
►
the acquired app was and it's kind of a
[TS]
00:08:16
◼
►
crapshoot you don't really know so I I
[TS]
00:08:17
◼
►
hope that this will lead to better stuff
[TS]
00:08:20
◼
►
in iOS that will replace the need for
[TS]
00:08:22
◼
►
workflow for the people who use it today
[TS]
00:08:24
◼
►
but honestly you know that's not the
[TS]
00:08:27
◼
►
most likely outcome the most likely
[TS]
00:08:29
◼
►
outcome is iOS stove moves forward a
[TS]
00:08:32
◼
►
little bit you know we get some part of
[TS]
00:08:36
◼
►
this in a future version of iOS and then
[TS]
00:08:40
◼
►
maybe maybe you know the original staff
[TS]
00:08:42
◼
►
who created it goes to work on other
[TS]
00:08:44
◼
►
things with an apple or maybe after a
[TS]
00:08:45
◼
►
few years they got unhappy and leave and
[TS]
00:08:46
◼
►
do something else that's that kind of
[TS]
00:08:49
◼
►
thing is more likely to happen
[TS]
00:08:51
◼
►
then then iOS gaining complete
[TS]
00:08:55
◼
►
functionality like workflow or even
[TS]
00:08:57
◼
►
something close to it I tell you I I
[TS]
00:09:01
◼
►
place much higher odds on workflow being
[TS]
00:09:05
◼
►
an apple-branded application for some
[TS]
00:09:07
◼
►
period of time you know like that it
[TS]
00:09:09
◼
►
would be brought into the fold workflow
[TS]
00:09:11
◼
►
by Apple as a downloadable thing on the
[TS]
00:09:14
◼
►
App Store possibly bundled with the
[TS]
00:09:16
◼
►
future Wes update wild you know while

[TS]
00:09:20
◼
►
you know and just this is pretty quick
[TS]
00:09:22
◼
►
it wasn't like you said the the press
[TS]
00:09:24
◼
►
releases and then very shortly after
[TS]
00:09:27
◼
►
yeah we're not doing that in what's been
[TS]
00:09:29
◼
►
like 10 days like it has not been very
[TS]
00:09:31
◼
►
long yes at times hi I don't know I mean
[TS]
00:09:34
◼
►
I don't know what to make of all this
[TS]
00:09:36
◼
►
it's just gonna be interesting watching
[TS]
00:09:39
◼
►
Mike have to become a real true
[TS]
00:09:42
◼
►
honest-to-goodness programmer and
[TS]
00:09:43
◼
►
writing Python easter spells cause he's
[TS]
00:09:45
◼
►
gonna be he's gonna have no other choice
[TS]
00:09:46
◼
►
so Mike welcome to our world well no cuz
[TS]
00:09:49
◼
►
workflow will keep working like I think
[TS]
00:09:51
◼
►
they will keep it working it's just like
[TS]
00:09:53
◼
►
I've been flowing you know well yeah
[TS]
00:09:55
◼
►
well what are were their major features
[TS]
00:09:57
◼
►
that people want add to work for like
[TS]
00:09:58
◼
►
you can you can add workflows people can
[TS]
00:10:01
◼
►
continue to do that and share and
[TS]
00:10:02
◼
►
distribute those isn't the workflow app
[TS]
00:10:04
◼
►
is just the engine so I feel like it
[TS]
00:10:06
◼
►
should last people until something new
[TS]
00:10:10
◼
►
comes but so that that's a good outcome
[TS]
00:10:12
◼
►
but if you were if you were really
[TS]
00:10:13
◼
►
excited about the engine gaining
[TS]
00:10:15
◼
►
features then you're sad well so you
[TS]
00:10:17
◼
►
know what if you know in in the past I
[TS]
00:10:20
◼
►
remember like what extensions came out
[TS]
00:10:21
◼
►
and I think even sometime last year for
[TS]
00:10:23
◼
►
some reason I've discussed on this show
[TS]
00:10:25
◼
►
how I think the future of you are of URL
[TS]
00:10:29
◼
►
scheme usage on iOS is probably limited
[TS]
00:10:32
◼
►
because you know now Apple has things
[TS]
00:10:34
◼
►
like universal links which replace a lot
[TS]
00:10:37
◼
►
of the need for URL schemes for like
[TS]
00:10:39
◼
►
average juices and X callback URL and
[TS]
00:10:42
◼
►
things like that are used only by a
[TS]
00:10:45
◼
►
narrow amount of power users for like
[TS]
00:10:48
◼
►
legitimate purposes and there's lots of
[TS]
00:10:50
◼
►
abuses that they're used for and Apple
[TS]
00:10:53
◼
►
has slowly clamped down that over time
[TS]
00:10:55
◼
►
to the degree that they can with various
[TS]
00:10:58
◼
►
iOS changes like having to declare your
[TS]
00:11:00
◼
►
URL schemes that you that you query for
[TS]
00:11:02
◼
►
in your info type plist file and stuff
[TS]
00:11:04
◼
►
like that
[TS]
00:11:04
◼
►
but it's it's no real secret that Apple
[TS]
00:11:08
◼
►
is not a huge fan of URL schemes being
[TS]
00:11:10
◼
►
used for purposes like this that i would
[TS]
00:11:13
◼
►
guess Apple probably wants to get rid of
[TS]
00:11:14
◼
►
them and you know make them actually
[TS]
00:11:15
◼
►
impossible for various privacy and
[TS]
00:11:18
◼
►
security reasons which is completely
[TS]
00:11:20
◼
►
reasonable so it would not surprise me
[TS]
00:11:22
◼
►
at all if you know say I maybe not iOS
[TS]
00:11:26
◼
►
11 but maybe iOS 12 maybe end support
[TS]
00:11:30
◼
►
for calling other apps via openurl and
[TS]
00:11:34
◼
►
can open URL and at that point workflow
[TS]
00:11:38
◼
►
would you know they're there are still
[TS]
00:11:39
◼
►
other features of workflow as it exists
[TS]
00:11:41
◼
►
today it could do other things but that
[TS]
00:11:44
◼
►
would lop off such a big portion of what
[TS]
00:11:46
◼
►
it could do that I think that would
[TS]
00:11:48
◼
►
effectively kill the app and hopefully
[TS]
00:11:51
◼
►
by the time Apple does something like
[TS]
00:11:52
◼
►
that if they're going to do something
[TS]
00:11:53
◼
►
like that hopefully they would have some
[TS]
00:11:55
◼
►
kind of replacement in mind like maybe
[TS]
00:11:57
◼
►
whatever the workflow staff is working
[TS]
00:11:59
◼
►
on an apple now I hope that's how it
[TS]
00:12:02
◼
►
would go but the thing is with big
[TS]
00:12:03
◼
►
companies and with acquisitions you
[TS]
00:12:05
◼
►
don't know that's gonna it's actually
[TS]
00:12:06
◼
►
gonna go that way like that could be
[TS]
00:12:08
◼
►
everyone's intention and plan now but at
[TS]
00:12:11
◼
►
big companies things change you know in
[TS]
00:12:13
◼
►
six months there something else might be
[TS]
00:12:15
◼
►
a bigger priority they might be
[TS]
00:12:16
◼
►
reassigned to work on that and this
[TS]
00:12:18
◼
►
project just doesn't continue or
[TS]
00:12:20
◼
►
anything like that I mean this is kind
[TS]
00:12:21
◼
►
of just a side effect of the the
[TS]
00:12:25
◼
►
economy's going on here you know if you
[TS]
00:12:29
◼
►
know like I had a early on in insta
[TS]
00:12:32
◼
►
papers days I had a couple of early
[TS]
00:12:34
◼
►
discussions about aqua hires companies
[TS]
00:12:38
◼
►
you know some some of the big tech
[TS]
00:12:39
◼
►
companies wanting to buy Instapaper for
[TS]
00:12:42
◼
►
some relatively insignificant amount in
[TS]
00:12:45
◼
►
order to get me to come work for them
[TS]
00:12:47
◼
►
and these conversations always stopped
[TS]
00:12:49
◼
►
pretty early on because at that time is
[TS]
00:12:52
◼
►
people was making very good money
[TS]
00:12:54
◼
►
because it was selling for like ten
[TS]
00:12:56
◼
►
bucks and then later five bucks in the
[TS]
00:12:58
◼
►
app store and it was selling pretty well
[TS]
00:12:59
◼
►
and so whenever I would whenever we get
[TS]
00:13:03
◼
►
to them to the money part of the early
[TS]
00:13:06
◼
►
conversations it would very quickly end
[TS]
00:13:07
◼
►
the conversations because it was like
[TS]
00:13:09
◼
►
well it for me to stop making this money
[TS]
00:13:11
◼
►
from this app you're going to have to
[TS]
00:13:12
◼
►
pay at least X for it and that was more
[TS]
00:13:15
◼
►
than they were willing to pay to just
[TS]
00:13:17
◼
►
get some engineer to come work for
[TS]
00:13:18
◼
►
and the problem is that as the app
[TS]
00:13:22
◼
►
economy has gotten worse and as the the
[TS]
00:13:26
◼
►
you know big handful of tech companies
[TS]
00:13:29
◼
►
have gotten bigger and have had more
[TS]
00:13:31
◼
►
money and have even tighter competition
[TS]
00:13:34
◼
►
for engineering talent the reishi like
[TS]
00:13:36
◼
►
the the economics of this have shifted
[TS]
00:13:38
◼
►
so much so that it is very hard for most
[TS]
00:13:42
◼
►
app developers to turn down a decent
[TS]
00:13:45
◼
►
aqua hire deal today because most apps
[TS]
00:13:48
◼
►
are not making that much money anymore
[TS]
00:13:51
◼
►
and these companies can now afford to
[TS]
00:13:53
◼
►
pay a lot for good engineering talent
[TS]
00:13:55
◼
►
and they would rather and they're soaked
[TS]
00:13:58
◼
►
there's so much competition for that
[TS]
00:13:59
◼
►
they would rather do that then then you
[TS]
00:14:03
◼
►
know let these apps continue I guess and
[TS]
00:14:05
◼
►
so the and again like as the developers
[TS]
00:14:07
◼
►
of these apps you can't really fault
[TS]
00:14:08
◼
►
them because if someone comes around
[TS]
00:14:10
◼
►
offering them like you know ten times
[TS]
00:14:12
◼
►
what they're making now per year in an
[TS]
00:14:14
◼
►
upfront some to buy their app and then
[TS]
00:14:16
◼
►
oh you'll also have a nice stable job
[TS]
00:14:19
◼
►
with us instead of having to rely on the
[TS]
00:14:21
◼
►
ups and downs of your apps on the App
[TS]
00:14:22
◼
►
Store I don't blame developers at all
[TS]
00:14:24
◼
►
for taking those offers they you know in
[TS]
00:14:26
◼
►
many ways like well you can't really say
[TS]
00:14:28
◼
►
no to to some of these offers because
[TS]
00:14:29
◼
►
they're so good and the only way this is
[TS]
00:14:31
◼
►
ever going to change is if the economics
[TS]
00:14:33
◼
►
of of app development change such that
[TS]
00:14:36
◼
►
it is more worthwhile for people to keep
[TS]
00:14:38
◼
►
their apps and not sell them and not
[TS]
00:14:40
◼
►
take jobs somewhere else then to do that
[TS]
00:14:43
◼
►
but I don't see that happening in the
[TS]
00:14:45
◼
►
near future right if anything I see
[TS]
00:14:47
◼
►
things going the other direction just
[TS]
00:14:49
◼
►
assume the work will developers have
[TS]
00:14:50
◼
►
gotten to work on the Mac Pro it's a
[TS]
00:14:52
◼
►
safe bet rent no because apparently the
[TS]
00:14:55
◼
►
Mac Pro is only started a week ago and
[TS]
00:14:56
◼
►
they they went there 10 days ago we're
[TS]
00:14:58
◼
►
getting to that we'll get to it oh my
[TS]
00:15:01
◼
►
word you guys I didn't even start my
[TS]
00:15:03
◼
►
holiday party yet this is gonna be a
[TS]
00:15:04
◼
►
long show for me probably should we were
[TS]
00:15:08
◼
►
sponsored this week by fracture printing
[TS]
00:15:10
◼
►
vivid color photos directly onto glass

[TS]
00:15:20
◼
►
special memories and your photos to life
[TS]
00:15:23
◼
►
they want to rescue your photos from
[TS]
00:15:25
◼
►
your social media feeds because if you
[TS]
00:15:27
◼
►
just put your photos out there on
[TS]
00:15:29
◼
►
Facebook or Instagram or whatever else
[TS]
00:15:31
◼
►
you look at them for
[TS]
00:15:32
◼
►
a day or two maybe and then they're gone
[TS]
00:15:34
◼
►
they're just into the digital ether
[TS]
00:15:36
◼
►
forever fracture wants you to pull your
[TS]
00:15:38
◼
►
favorite photos out of the digital ether
[TS]
00:15:40
◼
►
and get them printed and hang them on
[TS]
00:15:42
◼
►
your wall or give them as gifts because
[TS]
00:15:44
◼
►
these these prints look amazing they go
[TS]
00:15:47
◼
►
edge to get edge to edge right on this
[TS]
00:15:49
◼

wonderful piece of glass too thin little
[TS]
00:15:51
◼
►
piece of glass with this foam core
[TS]
00:15:53
◼
►
backing behind it so it's very
[TS]
00:15:54
◼
►
lightweight on the wall you don't have
[TS]
00:15:55
◼
►
to worry about it like falling off the
[TS]
00:15:56
◼
►
wall and shattering but it looks amazing
[TS]
00:15:59
◼
►
because it's glass across the whole
[TS]
00:16:01
◼
►
front surface so you don't need to frame
[TS]
00:16:03
◼
►
them or get them custom frame to some
[TS]
00:16:04
◼
►
expensive place or anything like that

John about a possible explanation for
[TS]
00:17:09
◼
►
increased free space with a PFS on 10.3
[TS]
00:17:12
◼
►
if you please continuing the streak of a
[TS]
00:17:15
◼
►
PFS follow-up and what are we on like
[TS]
00:17:17
◼
►
five shows in a row now I don't know
[TS]
00:17:19
◼
►
we're keeping the streak alive some show
[TS]
00:17:23
◼
►
in the past we talked about people
[TS]
00:17:25
◼
►
upgrading to iOS 10.3 and saying hey I
[TS]
00:17:27
◼
►
have more free space available on my iOS
[TS]
00:17:30
◼
►
device now and you know that could have
[TS]
00:17:33
◼
►
been clearing caches or just rebooting
[TS]
00:17:35
◼
►
or other things related to the upgrade
[TS]
00:17:37
◼
►
and not related to the file system
[TS]
00:17:38
◼
►
itself I heard one theory that I thought
[TS]
00:17:40
◼
►
was worth pondering it has to do with a
[TS]
00:17:44
◼
►
PFS space sharing
[TS]
00:17:46
◼
►
I thought you guys remember what that is
[TS]
00:17:48
◼
►
because I think your eyes glad we're
[TS]
00:17:50
◼
►
going to talk about a PFS but yep I do
[TS]
00:17:52
◼
►
hey it's basically copy-on-write right
[TS]
00:17:54
◼
►
no no it's the that's one of the
[TS]
00:17:56
◼
►
features but the thing they caught refer
[TS]
00:17:58
◼
►
to a space sharing is well is this the
[TS]
00:18:00
◼
►
thing where you can have like two
[TS]
00:18:01
◼
►
different partitions that both kind of
[TS]
00:18:02
◼
►
share some space and so it's kind of
[TS]
00:18:04
◼
►
like whoever fills the first gets to
[TS]
00:18:06
◼
►
keep it exactly so you got a one gig
[TS]
00:18:09
◼
►
disk and you can put two partitions on
[TS]
00:18:10
◼
►
it you can put 21 gig partitions on it
[TS]
00:18:12
◼
►
you're like how can you put 21 gig
[TS]
00:18:14
◼
►
partitions on a one gig disk can't you
[TS]
00:18:15
◼
►
put two partitions that are like 500 and
[TS]
00:18:17
◼
►
500 + 250 or 750 how can you have 21 gig
[TS]
00:18:21
◼
►
partitions that makes no sense as
[TS]
00:18:22
◼
►
exactly how space sharing works that I
[TS]
00:18:24
◼
►
figure with the terms are they call it a
[TS]
00:18:25
◼
►
container or something and within the
[TS]
00:18:27
◼
►
container you could have separate
[TS]
00:18:28
◼
►
volumes and they share that space and
[TS]
00:18:30
◼
►
like Marco said whoever fills it first
[TS]
00:18:32
◼
►
wins right and that produces weird weird
[TS]
00:18:35
◼
►
results for saying how much free space
[TS]
00:18:37
◼
►
you have any way so this theory goes
[TS]
00:18:40
◼
►
that iOS has I don't know if this is
[TS]
00:18:42
◼
►
true maybe Marco does although I've
[TS]
00:18:44
◼
►
heard it before that as to places where
[TS]
00:18:47
◼
►
put stuff one is sort of the OS
[TS]
00:18:49
◼
►
partition and one is the user space
[TS]
00:18:51
◼
►
partition and they are separate from
[TS]
00:18:52
◼
►
each other does that sound familiar
[TS]
00:18:53
◼
►
Marco honestly I've never looked that
[TS]
00:18:55
◼
►
low level at the OS that's a question
[TS]
00:18:57
◼
►
for seat for Steve trout and Smith not
[TS]
00:18:58
◼
►
me yeah anyway um the idea is that yeah
[TS]
00:19:02
◼
►
there's an arrangement that has been
[TS]
00:19:03
◼
►
there for a while but with a PFS and
[TS]
00:19:05
◼
►
space sharing it changes the way free
[TS]
00:19:07
◼
►
space is reported and that the increase
[TS]
00:19:10
◼
►
in free space you're seeing is related
[TS]
00:19:12
◼
►
to that now I tried to think through
[TS]
00:19:13
◼
►
this to say well how does that work
[TS]
00:19:15
◼
►
exactly what would that do and what you
[TS]
00:19:16
◼
►
know having the notes your experiments
[TS]
00:19:19
◼
►
required unfortunately because we just
[TS]
00:19:20
◼
►
record four days ago I have not done
[TS]
00:19:21
◼
►
these experiments but changing the way
[TS]
00:19:25
◼
►
space is both shared and reported with
[TS]
00:19:27
◼
►
the file system could possibly account
[TS]
00:19:29
◼
►
for discrepancies in what is reported in
[TS]
00:19:32
◼
►
the u.s. you would think that apple
[TS]
00:19:33
◼
►
would work this out but you know in that
[TS]
00:19:36
◼
►
example I just gave what is the right
[TS]
00:19:38
◼
►
thing to do if you have 21 gig
[TS]
00:19:40
◼
►
partitions on a one gig disk and you ask
[TS]
00:19:43
◼
►
one of them how much free space it's
[TS]
00:19:44
◼
►
going to say I have one gig available
[TS]
00:19:45
◼
►
and the ass the other one it's going to
[TS]
00:19:46
◼
►
say I have one gig available that's kind
[TS]
00:19:48
◼
►
of the truth because there's nothing in
[TS]
00:19:50
◼
►
the disk that both technically do have
[TS]
00:19:51
◼
►
one gig available but if they were to
[TS]
00:19:53
◼
►
both start filling really fast you're
[TS]
00:19:55
◼
►
not going to fit one gig into each one
[TS]
00:19:56
◼
►
of those things so now you have like
[TS]
00:19:58
◼
►
smartass file systems now
[TS]
00:19:59
◼
►
like well technically I have one gig
[TS]
00:20:01
◼
►
available I didn't lie to you right you
[TS]
00:20:03
◼
►
could put what you could put one gig be
[TS]
00:20:05
◼
►
as long as you put nothing in any of the
[TS]
00:20:06
◼
►
other partitions that are sharing the
[TS]
00:20:08
◼
►
same space yeah anyway I I really you
[TS]
00:20:12
◼
►
know i wish i had more information to
[TS]
00:20:13
◼
►
provide but i just want to bring up
[TS]
00:20:14
◼
►
space sharing to remind people that
[TS]
00:20:16
◼
►
space sharing a pms is the thing and
[TS]
00:20:17
◼
►
it's weird and it's this is one of those
[TS]
00:20:19
◼
►
things where it's difficult from user
[TS]
00:20:20
◼
►
interface perspective to determine what
[TS]
00:20:22
◼
►
is the right thing to do it's not like
[TS]
00:20:23
◼
►
oh you just need to update your
[TS]
00:20:24
◼
►
operating system to report to understand
[TS]
00:20:27
◼
►
a PFS and report the right thing
[TS]
00:20:28
◼
►
people's mental model of how space works
[TS]
00:20:30
◼
►
on disks does not match how a PFS file
[TS]
00:20:32
◼
►
you know space sharing works so i don't
[TS]
00:20:35
◼
►
know what they're going to do on mac OS
[TS]
00:20:36
◼
►
iOS you don't this doesn't manifest in
[TS]
00:20:39
◼
►
any way that you can see except perhaps
[TS]
00:20:40
◼
►
in this free space thing but further
[TS]
00:20:43
◼
►
news as events warrant maybe next week i
[TS]
00:20:45
◼
►
will have some experiments and next week
[TS]
00:20:47
◼
►
is actually two weeks from now oh
[TS]
00:20:48
◼
►
goodness alright fair enough can we talk
[TS]
00:20:54
◼
►
about t-shirts because we've had a
[TS]
00:20:57
◼
►
little bit of agita with our t-shirt
[TS]
00:20:59
◼
►
rolled out this year so you guys have
[TS]
00:21:02
◼
►
been generous enough to spend most of
[TS]
00:21:04
◼
►
your time doing this I have been
[TS]
00:21:06
◼
►
completely swamped in all aspects of
[TS]
00:21:09
◼
►
life this week so take me through the
[TS]
00:21:11
◼
►
pain and suffering that you've gone
[TS]
00:21:13
◼
►
through to bring t-shirts to our lovely
[TS]
00:21:14
◼
►
listeners I don't want to go through the
[TS]
00:21:16
◼
►
pain and suffering but I do want to say
[TS]
00:21:18
◼
►
that as usual every time we do a t-shirt
[TS]
00:21:20
◼
►
launch there's something that's weird or
[TS]
00:21:21
◼
►
wrong and hot about it and we work it
[TS]
00:21:23
◼
►
out this time it was about mostly about
[TS]
00:21:26
◼
►
size availability where as far as we're
[TS]
00:21:29
◼
►
able to determine we had no visibility
[TS]
00:21:30
◼
►
into what sizes will be available until
[TS]
00:21:32
◼
►
after we launch it and in that and then
[TS]
00:21:35
◼
►
when we launched it like the you can go
[TS]
00:21:38
◼
►
to the size pop-up menu like I pick the
[TS]
00:21:40
◼
►
shirk that I want now I need to pick my
[TS]
00:21:41
◼
►
size and you will see all the sizes
[TS]
00:21:43
◼
►
listed all the sizes that we could see
[TS]
00:21:45
◼
►
before lunch we can see this shirt is
[TS]
00:21:46
◼
►
available from extra small to 3x L right
[TS]
00:21:48
◼
►
and then we launched it and you go to
[TS]
00:21:51
◼
►
the shirt and you see that pop-up menu
[TS]
00:21:52
◼
►
with those sizes in it but only two of
[TS]
00:21:54
◼
►
them would be selectable if I usually
[TS]
00:21:56
◼
►
extra small and some other weird size
[TS]
00:21:57
◼
►
like none of the common sizes would be
[TS]
00:21:59
◼
►
available to you and that's bad we want
[TS]
00:22:02
◼
►
the shirt to be available in all sizes
[TS]
00:22:03
◼
►
so what we had to do for a lot of the
[TS]
00:22:06
◼
►
shirts is sort of delete or end the
[TS]
00:22:09
◼
►
campaigns which by the way some people
[TS]
00:22:11
◼
►
bought shirts and those campaigns and my
[TS]
00:22:12
◼
►
understanding is they
[TS]
00:22:13
◼
►
we'll get delivered it is kind of weird
[TS]
00:22:14
◼
►
that you you were the one of the two or
[TS]
00:22:16
◼
►
three lucky people who got that shirt
[TS]
00:22:17
◼
►
before we frantically deleted it and
[TS]
00:22:19
◼
►
you're sure might be titled ATP shirt
[TS]
00:22:21
◼
►
delete me in the emails that you get a
[TS]
00:22:22
◼
►
better if you get an email and it says
[TS]
00:22:24
◼
►
delete me that's us trying to keep track
[TS]
00:22:26
◼
►
of which ones are the old bad ones and
[TS]
00:22:28
◼
►
which ones are the new good ones and
[TS]
00:22:30
◼
►
anyway and we replace them with
[TS]
00:22:32
◼
►
identical-looking shirts but with shirts
[TS]
00:22:34
◼
►
from a different vendor who had stock in
[TS]
00:22:36
◼
►
all sizes and we've been working on that
[TS]
00:22:38
◼
►
working with teespring to get more size
[TS]
00:22:40
◼
►
it's available and recreating them and
[TS]
00:22:42
◼
►
so on and so forth all this is to say
[TS]
00:22:44
◼
►
that have you tried to buy a shirt
[TS]
00:22:45
◼
►
because you heard the show last week or
[TS]
00:22:48
◼
►
whenever and you went there and you
[TS]
00:22:50
◼
►
couldn't find the shirt in the size you
[TS]
00:22:52
◼
►
wanted or the shirt wasn't available in
[TS]
00:22:54
◼
►
any sizes which was true or some cases
[TS]
00:22:56
◼
►
like the purple one that I really loved
[TS]
00:22:57
◼
►
was literally available in 0 sizes like
[TS]
00:22:59
◼
►
you could no one could order it because
[TS]
00:23:00
◼
►
you could not select any sizes at all it
[TS]
00:23:03
◼
►
would let you hit by now and then it's a
[TS]
00:23:04
◼
►
please pick your size and they were all
[TS]
00:23:05
◼
►
disabled so that's fixed you get your
[TS]
00:23:08
◼
►
purple shirts now we added a few shirts
[TS]
00:23:11
◼
►
to be larger sizes because some of the
[TS]
00:23:12
◼
►
other shirts only went up to 2 XL and
[TS]
00:23:14
◼
►
now we have three XL and I think up to
[TS]
00:23:16
◼
►
5xl on the European one so and also
[TS]
00:23:20
◼
►
finally teespring is told us that as
[TS]
00:23:22
◼
►
stock comes in four different sizes and
[TS]
00:23:25
◼
►
different colors those sizes will become
[TS]
00:23:28
◼
►
available so technically if you just
[TS]
00:23:31
◼
►
want to you know wait and check back
[TS]
00:23:33
◼
►
next week or something even if the size
[TS]
00:23:35
◼
►
isn't available right now maybe it will
[TS]
00:23:36
◼
►
become available so we apologize for
[TS]
00:23:38
◼
►
this it's difficult we'll try to do
[TS]
00:23:42
◼
►
better next year as always every year we
[TS]
00:23:44
◼
►
have to have something last year it was
[TS]
00:23:45
◼
►
really expensive shipping outside the US
[TS]
00:23:47
◼
►
this year we do not have super duper
[TS]
00:23:49
◼
►
expensive shipping outside the US which
[TS]
00:23:50
◼
►
is good but we have some size issues so
[TS]
00:23:53
◼
►
thank you to everybody who's bought
[TS]
00:23:55
◼
►
shirts and good luck out there yeah we
[TS]
00:23:58
◼
►
you know last year we had to apologize
[TS]
00:24:00
◼
►
for the expensive international shipping
[TS]
00:24:02
◼
►
and this year we're having to apologize
[TS]
00:24:03
◼
►
for some of these operational issues and
[TS]
00:24:05
◼
►
we we are sorry that we have to deal
[TS]
00:24:07
◼
►
with this and you have to deal with this
[TS]
00:24:08
◼
►
the reality is that printing and
[TS]
00:24:11
◼
►
shipping shirts all over the world is
[TS]
00:24:13
◼
►
complicated and you know we every vendor
[TS]
00:24:17
◼
►
who does it has different trade-offs
[TS]
00:24:18
◼
►
we've now tried you know two of the
[TS]
00:24:20
◼
►
major vendors and each one has strengths
[TS]
00:24:23
◼
►
and weaknesses and you know we've chosen
[TS]
00:24:25
◼
►
a different set of trade-offs this year
[TS]
00:24:26
◼
►
but we have not yet found a perfect
[TS]
00:24:29
◼
►
solution and we hope in the future that
[TS]
00:24:31
◼
►
one materializes or that we can tweak
[TS]
00:24:34
◼
►
things a little bit better but in the
[TS]
00:24:35
◼
►
meantime we're sorry please buy our
[TS]
00:24:37
◼
►
shirts now thank you one more thing we
[TS]
00:24:40
◼
►
are thinking about this is not yet
[TS]
00:24:42
◼
►
happened but the thing that may happen
[TS]
00:24:43
◼
►
is that you may get your shirts earlier
[TS]
00:24:45
◼
►
than you would expect we had said all
[TS]
00:24:47
◼
►
these things to be like a time-limited
[TS]
00:24:48
◼
►
campaign that we're going to end about
[TS]
00:24:49
◼
►
20 days from now we're still going to
[TS]
00:24:51
◼
►
end it that's still going to happen so
[TS]
00:24:52
◼
►
buy your shirts because we're going to
[TS]
00:24:53
◼
►
end this thing right but during the time
[TS]
00:24:56
◼
►
that it is running there is some
[TS]
00:24:57
◼
►
potential not a sure thing that your
[TS]
00:24:59
◼
►
church could ship like shortly after you
[TS]
00:25:02
◼
►
are them instead of having everybody
[TS]
00:25:04
◼
►
wait till the end of the 20 days and
[TS]
00:25:05
◼
►
then all the shirts go out at once and
[TS]
00:25:06
◼
►
the reason we're thinking about that is
[TS]
00:25:08
◼
►
it it gives you more time to hopefully
[TS]
00:25:10
◼
►
get your shirt in time for ww see if
[TS]
00:25:12
◼
►
you're coming or so you don't have to
[TS]
00:25:13
◼
►
wait so long or if their issues with it
[TS]
00:25:15
◼
►
you know anyway that's why we're
[TS]
00:25:17
◼
►
thinking about that and that may be a
[TS]
00:25:18
◼
►
thing so if your shirt suddenly arrives
[TS]
00:25:20
◼
►
and you didn't expect over 20 days don't
[TS]
00:25:22
◼
►
be surprised so apples clips app came
[TS]
00:25:26
◼
►
out today and I think we should spend a
[TS]
00:25:28
◼
►
lot of time talking about that because
[TS]
00:25:30
◼
►
it's my turn to talk about something
[TS]
00:25:31
◼
►
that I want to talk about didn't I put
[TS]
00:25:33
◼
►
that in there way way down below all
[TS]
00:25:35
◼
►
this cool new Mac Pro stuff well guess
[TS]
00:25:37
◼
►
what buddy it just got escalated and
[TS]
00:25:41
◼
►
actually I don't have too much to say if
[TS]
00:25:43
◼
►
I'm really honest with you so this is
[TS]
00:25:44
◼
►
only going to take a moment but Clips
[TS]
00:25:46
◼
►
came out today I played with it very
[TS]
00:25:48
◼
►
very very briefly and it's pretty cool I
[TS]
00:25:51
◼
►
like the I don't know what the official
[TS]
00:25:54
◼
►
term for it is but the transcribe what
[TS]
00:25:56
◼
►
you're saying as you're saying it
[TS]
00:25:59
◼
►
feature so you can turn on a like text
[TS]
00:26:04
◼
►
mode or it's a little speech bubble and
[TS]
00:26:06
◼
►
as you record speech will or your speech
[TS]
00:26:10
◼
►
will appear on screen so you know you
[TS]
00:26:12
◼
►
can hold to record and then as you talk
[TS]
00:26:15
◼
►
you can make it show the words that
[TS]
00:26:18
◼
►
you're speaking I just did that as we
[TS]
00:26:20
◼
►
were recording as I was saying those
[TS]
00:26:22
◼
►
words and it says honda accord instead
[TS]
00:26:26
◼
►
of hold while you record so this is
[TS]
00:26:27
◼
►
already going well I mean you know
[TS]
00:26:30
◼
►
automated transcription is still a very
[TS]
00:26:33
◼
►
very long way away from being good
[TS]
00:26:36
◼
►
reliably like even you know we you know
[TS]
00:26:39
◼
►
we we can criticize Apple for
[TS]
00:26:40
◼
►
like not being good at some of these
[TS]
00:26:41
◼
►
things sometimes but nobody can do this
[TS]
00:26:43
◼
►
very well yet you know even like the
[TS]
00:26:45
◼
►
fancy Google algorithms that do YouTube
[TS]
00:26:48
◼
►
transcription and everything like even
[TS]
00:26:50
◼
►
they are pretty bad at this so it's
[TS]
00:26:53
◼
►
going to be a fun little thing finding
[TS]
00:26:55
◼
►
like you know funny mistranslation to
[TS]
00:26:56
◼
►
people's videos sometimes and otherwise
[TS]
00:26:59
◼
►
it's a cool idea it's a cool use of
[TS]
00:27:01
◼
►
technology but yeah it's going to be
[TS]
00:27:03
◼
►
pretty imperfect for possibly ever if
[TS]
00:27:07
◼
►
not a long time it's going to make
[TS]
00:27:08
◼
►
people enunciate that's what it's going
[TS]
00:27:10
◼
►
to do I tried that feature as well
[TS]
00:27:11
◼
►
because I was excited to see if I could
[TS]
00:27:13
◼
►
do the thing that I talked about when we
[TS]
00:27:15
◼
►
first talked about clips which is make
[TS]
00:27:18
◼
►
the words appear over the video with
[TS]
00:27:20
◼
►
with a cadence with the purpose like say
[TS]
00:27:22
◼
►
things in a certain way and emphasize
[TS]
00:27:24
◼
►
certain things to have the words appear
[TS]
00:27:25
◼
►
with that rhythm and the lag seem to be
[TS]
00:27:28
◼
►
so big I'm not quite sure why whether
[TS]
00:27:30
◼
►
it's the you know rendering it on top of
[TS]
00:27:31
◼
►
the video versus understanding the
[TS]
00:27:33
◼
►
speech or whatever but the lag was so
[TS]
00:27:35
◼
►
much worse than for example when you
[TS]
00:27:37
◼
►
talk to one of Google now or the hell
[TS]
00:27:39
◼
►
they call it hard work where it shows
[TS]
00:27:41
◼
►
your words in real time or even Siri
[TS]
00:27:42
◼
►
these days but Google now was the first
[TS]
00:27:44
◼
►
one I remember being startled by exactly
[TS]
00:27:46
◼
►
how fast the words were appearing as I
[TS]
00:27:47
◼
►
spoke them that there wasn't a delay
[TS]
00:27:49
◼
►
that it wasn't like let me just think
[TS]
00:27:50
◼
►
about what you just said and make it
[TS]
00:27:52
◼
►
appear that it seemed to follow my
[TS]
00:27:53
◼
►
cadence and clips clips lags I found it
[TS]
00:27:57
◼
►
difficult even when trying to emphasize
[TS]
00:27:59
◼
►
in a very exaggerated rhythm to get that
[TS]
00:28:02
◼
►
rhythm to manifest in the video so oh
[TS]
00:28:04
◼
►
well the people using real video editors
[TS]
00:28:06
◼
►
can continue to dominate in the perfect
[TS]
00:28:09
◼
►
timing of their word appearances and
[TS]
00:28:11
◼
►
transitions but the meantime yeah it is
[TS]
00:28:13
◼
►
a cool app and the effects are really
[TS]
00:28:15
◼
►
neat and it makes it so easy to do
[TS]
00:28:17
◼
►
something you don't need any expertise
[TS]
00:28:19
◼
►
in any kind of video editing or
[TS]
00:28:20
◼
►
production you just need to be able to
[TS]
00:28:22
◼
►
tap things on the screen and hold your
[TS]
00:28:24
◼
►
finger on a giant red button and you
[TS]
00:28:26
◼
►
will make cool videos yeah i like i said
[TS]
00:28:29
◼
►
i only played with it briefly but really
[TS]
00:28:30
◼
►
really impressed with what I've seen so
[TS]
00:28:32
◼
►
far I also really like I think this was
[TS]
00:28:35
◼
►
covered on connected recently I forget
[TS]
00:28:38
◼
►
where I heard it but um rather than
[TS]
00:28:41
◼
►
rather than Apple trying to make their
[TS]
00:28:44
◼
►
own social network and do something
[TS]
00:28:45
◼
►
ridiculous like that they're actually
[TS]
00:28:46
◼
►
just embracing other social networks so
[TS]
00:28:50
◼
►
this is an app to pipe your video into
[TS]
00:28:54
◼
►
faces which i think is really smart did
[TS]
00:28:56
◼
►
you see her that I'm connected what did
[TS]
00:28:58
◼
►
we talk about it it's fine damn fine
[TS]
00:29:00
◼
►
it's like you thought you're on the show
[TS]
00:29:02
◼
►
with me when I said that same thing but
[TS]
00:29:04
◼
►
it's fine you can cite connected it's
[TS]
00:29:06
◼
►
all a blur monette event follow-up Casey
[TS]
00:29:08
◼
►
yeah you know they did it's it's weird
[TS]
00:29:10
◼
►
we appropriated it but it was all that I
[TS]
00:29:11
◼
►
actually heard that from some wasn't
[TS]
00:29:13
◼
►
connected with what was it bonanza that
[TS]
00:29:14
◼
►
did the the thing with like the echo and
[TS]
00:29:16
◼
►
reverb good god no that was that was
[TS]
00:29:19
◼
►
either the prompter connected all right
[TS]
00:29:20
◼
►
well anyway someone wrote me to say I
[TS]
00:29:23
◼
►
totally thought they invented it because
[TS]
00:29:24
◼
►
they had a cool sound effect follow
[TS]
00:29:25
◼
►
anyway they've been said they've been
[TS]
00:29:27
◼
►
set straight oh good so anyhow my very
[TS]
00:29:33
◼
►
brief playing with this app I definitely
[TS]
00:29:35
◼
►
like it although it confirmed to some
[TS]
00:29:37
◼
►
degree that I'm an old man because I it
[TS]
00:29:40
◼
►
took me a minute to realize how to share
[TS]
00:29:42
◼
►
a video that I created because it didn't
[TS]
00:29:46
◼
►
it wasn't obvious to me that in the like
[TS]
00:29:48
◼
►
creation screen is where you're doing
[TS]
00:29:52
◼
►
all your mod modifications and edits and
[TS]
00:29:54
◼
►
whatnot and from what I can tell you
[TS]
00:29:56
◼
►
have to back out to your like library
[TS]
00:29:58
◼
►
screen in order to actually share
[TS]
00:30:00
◼
►
something which I thought was a little
[TS]
00:30:01
◼
►
peculiar but you know whatever but
[TS]
00:30:04
◼
►
either way I in my very brief playing
[TS]
00:30:06
◼
►
with it I I really really like it and I
[TS]
00:30:09
◼
►
don't know that i'll use it that much
[TS]
00:30:10
◼
►
but it was really cool the only
[TS]
00:30:12
◼
►
complaint I have about it which actually
[TS]
00:30:15
◼
►
is probably for the best is that I kind
[TS]
00:30:18
◼
►
of wish it wasn't just square so as an
[TS]
00:30:20
◼
►
example I had recorded a video of myself
[TS]
00:30:24
◼
►
and Declan very quickly and I wanted to
[TS]
00:30:27
◼
►
share it as an Instagram story and when
[TS]
00:30:30
◼
►
I sucked it into Instagram it looked
[TS]
00:30:32
◼
►
awful and it was like only the center of
[TS]
00:30:35
◼
►
the of the video and it took me a second
[TS]
00:30:38
◼
►
to realize oh it's scaling it because
[TS]
00:30:41
◼
►
the video is square but Instagram
[TS]
00:30:43
◼
►
stories annoyingly our portrait only and
[TS]
00:30:46
◼
►
so it's just doing the best I can but
[TS]
00:30:48
◼
►
that ruined my video and so that was a
[TS]
00:30:50
◼
►
little frustrating but to be honest it's
[TS]
00:30:52
◼
►
probably for the best that um that that
[TS]
00:30:56
◼
►
that it is square because it's kind of
[TS]
00:30:58
◼
►
generic I also didn't see a way to share
[TS]
00:31:00
◼
►
to twitter but that again could be user
[TS]
00:31:02
◼
►
error and i only looked for a moment but
[TS]
00:31:04
◼
►
all in all I definitely liked it and I
[TS]
00:31:05
◼
►
think it's pretty good they gotta fix
[TS]
00:31:07
◼
►
that the answer
[TS]
00:31:08
◼
►
story thing that's not a minor issue is
[TS]
00:31:09
◼
►
that like I said the whole point of this
[TS]
00:31:11
◼
►
is to is to share another networks and
[TS]
00:31:13
◼
►
you have Instagram stories is does the
[TS]
00:31:15
◼
►
particular format the app needs to
[TS]
00:31:17
◼
►
support that in some way you can leave
[TS]
00:31:19
◼
►
the defaults is whatever they are but
[TS]
00:31:21
◼
►
someone who wants to use this app
[TS]
00:31:23
◼
►
primarily as a way to do instrum stories
[TS]
00:31:25
◼
►
that is not going to do it if they you
[TS]
00:31:27
◼
►
know it just won't feel it won't feel
[TS]
00:31:29
◼
►
right to not be able to shoot it in the
[TS]
00:31:31
◼
►
same aspect ratio so get on that clip
[TS]
00:31:33
◼
►
steam all right uh let's see what else
[TS]
00:31:37
◼
►
has happened recently now that was your
[TS]
00:31:39
◼
►

◼
►

[TS]
00:31:54
◼
►
mac pro eventually and come out the
[TS]
00:31:57
◼
►
other side in 2019 into the sunlight
[TS]
00:32:00
◼
►
where we'll discuss patents and nvidia
[TS]
00:32:03
◼
►

[TS]
00:32:05
◼
►

[TS]
00:32:07
◼
►
next week so this is more mac pro ! the
[TS]
00:32:11
◼
►
show notes say i'm pretty sure i didn't
[TS]
00:32:13
◼
►
do that i I you know I didn't do it I
[TS]
00:32:15
◼
►
think I put the word more in there the
[TS]
00:32:18
◼
►
first bit is a rumor that I don't know
[TS]
00:32:21
◼
►
how much you know worth too attached to
[TS]
00:32:25
◼
►
but it is a rumor and it has been
[TS]
00:32:27
◼
►
reblogged as we used to say all over the
[TS]
00:32:30
◼
►
place which does not make it any more
[TS]
00:32:32
◼
►
true but anyway it's from OS news OS
[TS]
00:32:36
◼
►
news com and it is a rumor cited to
[TS]
00:32:40
◼
►
people and sources who know their stuff
[TS]
00:32:43
◼
►
that kills confidence that definitely
[TS]
00:32:48
◼
►
means it's true that's that's the way
[TS]
00:32:52
◼
►
rumors should be cited because that
[TS]
00:32:54
◼
►
again matches the the reliability this
[TS]
00:32:59
◼
►
says the macro was in limbo in size
[TS]
00:33:00
◼
►
Apple the decision to go ahead and
[TS]
00:33:02
◼
►
develop a modular Mac blurp low
[TS]
00:33:04
◼
►
replacement seems to have been made only
[TS]
00:33:06
◼
►
in recent months with development
[TS]
00:33:08
◼
►
starting only a few weeks ago so we were
[TS]
00:33:11
◼
►
last year we're talking about all this
[TS]
00:33:12
◼
►
you know seems like it must have
[TS]
00:33:13
◼
►
happened at the earliest during the last
[TS]
00:33:16
◼
►
12 months probably during last six
[TS]
00:33:18
◼
►
months this one says in recent months
[TS]
00:33:19
◼
►
the decision was made
[TS]
00:33:21
◼
►
and development started only a few weeks
[TS]
00:33:22
◼
►
ago so that is the tightest timeline i
[TS]
00:33:25
◼
►
have seen even suggested and then it
[TS]
00:33:27
◼
►
goes on to say why why did Apple do this
[TS]
00:33:29
◼
►
what why did Apple make them 180 on the
[TS]
00:33:31
◼
►
mac pro and the reason cited is a more
[TS]
00:33:34
◼
►
specific version of a thing we've talked
[TS]
00:33:35
◼
►
about a lot that apple was surprised by
[TS]
00:33:38
◼
►
the reaction of the macbook pro with
[TS]
00:33:40
◼
►
touch bar which heard from many
[TS]
00:33:42
◼
►
different places in a vague sort of
[TS]
00:33:44
◼
►
Apple thought that everyone was going to
[TS]
00:33:47
◼
►
love their product and the negative
[TS]
00:33:50
◼
►
reaction in the press if not in the
[TS]
00:33:52
◼
►
sales numbers caught them by surprise
[TS]
00:33:53
◼
►
and so this adds some more detail to
[TS]
00:33:56
◼
►
that with some more vaguely source
[TS]
00:33:58
◼
►
rumors after it says after announcement
[TS]
00:34:02
◼
►
of the new mac pro with the macbook pro
[TS]
00:34:04
◼
►
with touch bar orders for refurbished
[TS]
00:34:06
◼
►
old macbook pro supposedly went through
[TS]
00:34:08
◼
►
the roof and after the initial batch of
[TS]
00:34:10
◼
►
reviews came out they shot up even
[TS]
00:34:11
◼
►
higher so that would be a signal that I
[TS]
00:34:14
◼
►
think Apple would pay attention to hey
[TS]
00:34:16
◼
►
we've got the new macbook pro a touch
[TS]
00:34:17
◼
►
bar and the refurbished version of the
[TS]
00:34:20
◼
►
old one goes up really high now to
[TS]
00:34:23
◼
►
believe this you have to a believe this
[TS]
00:34:24
◼
►
is founded on anything and be you have
[TS]
00:34:26
◼
►
to believe that this is not something
[TS]
00:34:27
◼
►
that always happens every time a new
[TS]
00:34:28
◼
►
model is introduced which I'm not
[TS]
00:34:30
◼
►
entirely sure because maybe every time
[TS]
00:34:31
◼
►
you introduce two new model is different
[TS]
00:34:32
◼
►
from the old one people by the
[TS]
00:34:34
◼
►
refurbished ones really quickly because
[TS]
00:34:35
◼
►
they want to get their last chance to
[TS]
00:34:36
◼
►
get the model they know and love but
[TS]
00:34:38
◼
►
anyway that is a suggestion how that
[TS]
00:34:42
◼
►
would reflect on the Mac Pro it would be
[TS]
00:34:44
◼
►
just basically like we thought we knew
[TS]
00:34:45
◼
►
what pros wanted but we seem to be wrong
[TS]
00:34:48
◼
►
and they say similar combined with the
[TS]
00:34:50
◼
►
problems of the LG Display and stuff
[TS]
00:34:53
◼
►
like that and then finally to add more
[TS]
00:34:56
◼
►
exciting on source rumors that will make
[TS]
00:34:58
◼
►
Marco happy if you can bring himself to
[TS]
00:35:00
◼
►
believe in briefly so far I can't go
[TS]
00:35:03
◼
►
ahead yeah Apple is said to be exploring
[TS]
00:35:05
◼
►
additional retina macbook pro models
[TS]
00:35:07
◼
►
without the touch bar Oh wouldn't you
[TS]
00:35:09
◼
►
love that so there's something for
[TS]
00:35:12
◼
►
everybody in this vaguely source rumor
[TS]
00:35:14
◼
►
but again I you know since since people
[TS]
00:35:18
◼
►
are talking about it like I do believe
[TS]
00:35:22
◼
►
that the the new Mac Pro decision end
[TS]
00:35:24
◼
►
project were very recent I'm not sure
[TS]
00:35:28
◼
►
her believed a few weeks ago but very
[TS]
00:35:30
◼
►
recent and I do believe that Apple was
[TS]
00:35:32
◼
►
surprised by the press react
[TS]
00:35:35
◼
►
to the macbook pro with touch bars as
[TS]
00:35:37
◼
►
Apple emphasizes every time you talk to
[TS]
00:35:39
◼
►
them about it including the transcript
[TS]
00:35:40
◼
►
that we cited before the new macbook pro
[TS]
00:35:42
◼
►
would touch bar is incredibly popular
[TS]
00:35:44
◼
►
and has the most orders ever of any
[TS]
00:35:45

laptop evel's ever produced people love
[TS]
00:35:48
◼

it and it's awesome and all the numbers
[TS]
00:35:49
◼
►
are great for it but like so many other
[TS]
00:35:51
◼
►
things Apple said in that transcript and
[TS]
00:35:53
◼
►
about the Mac Pro and everything they
[TS]
00:35:56
◼
►
may be true but if you don't update a
[TS]
00:35:59
◼
►
model for a really long time some of
[TS]
00:36:02
◼
►
these results fall out of it you know
[TS]
00:36:04
◼
►
like we're not really selling a lot of
[TS]
00:36:06
◼
►
mac pro screw people buy them well you
[TS]
00:36:08
◼
►
haven't updated it in years so that's a
[TS]
00:36:10
◼
►
self-fulfilling prophecy as we've
[TS]
00:36:12
◼
►
discussed before and the mac pro pro
[TS]
00:36:14
◼
►
touch bar is the best-selling model ever
[TS]
00:36:15
◼
►
well again the macbook pro was a little
[TS]
00:36:18
◼
►
bit overdue for an update so there's
[TS]
00:36:20
◼
►
pent-up demand for it and the then you
[TS]
00:36:25
◼
►
have to map and like the curve like our
[TS]
00:36:26
◼
►
mac sales increasing overall I think the
[TS]
00:36:29
◼
►
macbook pro is a successful product for
[TS]
00:36:31
◼
►
them but again I do believe that Apple
[TS]
00:36:32
◼
►
was surprised by the negative reaction
[TS]
00:36:35
◼
►
of some of the press about it they even
[TS]
00:36:37
◼
►
emphasized in the transcript by the way
[TS]
00:36:38
◼
►
went back to the well on the battery
[TS]
00:36:41
◼
►
life of like their metrics say that the
[TS]
00:36:43
◼
►
battery life for the new macbook pro
[TS]
00:36:45
◼
►
with touch bar is better than the
[TS]
00:36:46
◼
►
outgoing ones I believe that too you
[TS]
00:36:48
◼
►
know what because the outgoing ones are
[TS]
00:36:50
◼
►
old and the new models are brand-new
[TS]
00:36:52
◼
►
don't feel that I'm sure they factor
[TS]
00:36:55
◼
►
that in and I'm sure they can tell the
[TS]
00:36:56
◼
►
age and normalize for it or whatever but
[TS]
00:36:58
◼
►
it's difficult to to hang your hat on a
[TS]
00:37:01
◼
►
lot of the stats because every what's
[TS]
00:37:02
◼
►
that they say I'm like a hundred percent
[TS]
00:37:04
◼
►
believe that but I also don't have
[TS]
00:37:06
◼
►
enough information to to really tell
[TS]
00:37:09
◼
►
whether it shows the thing you're saying
[TS]
00:37:12
◼
►
that it shows what they're trying to say
[TS]
00:37:14
◼
►
it shows this name the new macbook pro
[TS]
00:37:15
◼
►
with touch bar has better battery life
[TS]
00:37:17
◼
►
than our outgoing model but you haven't
[TS]
00:37:19
◼
►
given me enough information to believe
[TS]
00:37:20
◼
►
that all you've said is the stats say
[TS]
00:37:23
◼
►
people are getting better a better
[TS]
00:37:24
◼
►
battery life out of it than the old one
[TS]
00:37:26
◼
►
you don't tell me whether you've
[TS]
00:37:26
◼
►
controlled for the age of the machines
[TS]
00:37:28
◼
►
and you know you don't tell me if it's
[TS]
00:37:32
◼
►
an average or usage of what the
[TS]
00:37:33
◼
►
percentiles are what the histogram looks
[TS]
00:37:35
◼
►
like and also as well as tough as Marcos
[TS]
00:37:36
◼
►
pointed out many other times you get
[TS]
00:37:38
◼
►
fantastic battery life out of these new
[TS]
00:37:39
◼
►
models until you do something intensive
[TS]
00:37:41
◼
►
and then I tank and I bet if more people
[TS]
00:37:43
◼
►
don't do in terms of things people
[TS]
00:37:44
◼
►
aren't playing games with their laptop
[TS]
00:37:46
◼
►
unplugged because they did their game
[TS]
00:37:48
◼
►
be over in two and a half hours they're
[TS]
00:37:50
◼
►
lucky yeah and that would really bring
[TS]
00:37:52
◼
►
the numbers down but most people just
[TS]
00:37:53
◼
►
don't play and don't do that so that
[TS]
00:37:54
◼
►
doesn't show up in the stat so anyway I
[TS]
00:37:56
◼
►
want to go off on that tangent but
[TS]
00:37:57
◼
►
that's that's where my men mind went
[TS]
00:38:00
◼
►
when reading this weird rumor believe it
[TS]
00:38:02
◼
►
if you want to feel good for a little
[TS]
00:38:03
◼
►
while yeah i mean this this is not an
[TS]
00:38:06
◼
►
incredibly reliable source this is not
[TS]
00:38:09
◼
►
like somebody with a great track record
[TS]
00:38:11
◼
►
I don't lend a lot of credibility to
[TS]
00:38:13
◼
►
this basically it lines up with solemn
[TS]
00:38:16
◼
►
the other thing is that we've heard here
[TS]
00:38:17
◼
►
and there but not very strongly and
[TS]
00:38:19
◼
►
honestly for the most part it doesn't
[TS]
00:38:22
◼
►
really matter I think what matters is
[TS]
00:38:24
◼
►
Apple is at least you know if we believe
[TS]
00:38:29
◼
►
what they said and I don't think we have
[TS]
00:38:30
◼
►
any reason not to they were on a bad
[TS]
00:38:33
◼
►
path before they have finally recognized
[TS]
00:38:36
◼
►
that and yes they did recognize it
[TS]
00:38:38
◼
►
pretty late down that path they did not
[TS]
00:38:41
◼
►
recognize they were on a bad path in
[TS]
00:38:42
◼
►
2013 like it took a lot longer than that
[TS]
00:38:45
◼
►
I would guess they recognize it in 2016
[TS]
00:38:48
◼
►
sometime possibly even 2017 but the fact
[TS]
00:38:52
◼
►
is they are on the path to fixing it
[TS]
00:38:56
◼
►
something has clearly switched an apple
[TS]
00:39:00
◼
►
it's like something has clearly flipped
[TS]
00:39:02
◼
►
over or changed to to make them make
[TS]
00:39:05
◼
►
this decision because before this it was
[TS]
00:39:09
◼
►
very clear that they were doing things
[TS]
00:39:13
◼
►
their way what they thought was right
[TS]
00:39:14
◼
►
which involved a lot of things that did
[TS]
00:39:17
◼
►
not serve Pro users basically he
[TS]
00:39:19
◼
►
involved Singh saying no a lot and
[TS]
00:39:22
◼
►
taking a long time to do pretty much
[TS]
00:39:24
◼
►
everything and ignoring a lot of product
[TS]
00:39:26
◼
►
lines and and and to some degree this is
[TS]
00:39:29
◼
►
still what they're doing you know the
[TS]
00:39:31
◼
►
not a lot has changed in in their actual
[TS]
00:39:34
◼
►
actions here I think it probably will
[TS]
00:39:37
◼
►
over the next you know two years or so
[TS]
00:39:39
◼
►
as some of the stuff shakes out because
[TS]
00:39:41
◼
►
clearly something has changed to to make
[TS]
00:39:44
◼
►
them do this 180 on the Mac Pro because
[TS]
00:39:45
◼
►
again like they didn't decide three
[TS]
00:39:49
◼
►
years ago that this design needed to be
[TS]
00:39:51
◼
►
replaced and it took them three years
[TS]
00:39:54
◼
►
plus whatever is going to be nowt to do
[TS]
00:39:55
◼
►
it no they decided three years ago to
[TS]
00:39:57
◼
►
stop development Mac Pro and they have
[TS]
00:40:00
◼
►
been effectively
[TS]
00:40:02
◼
►
looking for what however many you know
[TS]
00:40:04
◼
►
whatever time span between then and
[TS]
00:40:07
◼
►
within the last few months they have
[TS]
00:40:10
◼
►
thought we don't need it we don't need
[TS]
00:40:11
◼
►
to develop mac pro anymore this is a
[TS]
00:40:13
◼
►
dead product line it is no longer
[TS]
00:40:15
◼
►
necessary for us to do we won't do it
[TS]
00:40:17
◼
►
well it's not like they weren't
[TS]
00:40:18
◼
►
developing in the buzz that something
[TS]
00:40:19
◼
►
came on the transcript like that they
[TS]
00:40:21
◼
►
further emphasized in the details that
[TS]
00:40:23
◼
►
they did think about upgrading this
[TS]
00:40:26
◼
►
component or that component they didn't
[TS]
00:40:27
◼
►
say that they actually tried it out but
[TS]
00:40:29
◼
►
how else would they have known that they
[TS]
00:40:30
◼
►
couldn't support like some one of the
[TS]
00:40:32
◼
►
the people present or one of the press
[TS]
00:40:34
◼
►
people present asked them specifically
[TS]
00:40:35
◼
►
oh so you I think maybe as panzram
[TS]
00:40:37
◼
►
saying so you were thinking like oh we
[TS]
00:40:38
◼
►
could increase the GPU frequency by 300
[TS]
00:40:41
◼
►
megahertz because that doesn't quite
[TS]
00:40:42
◼
►
seem worth it so we won't bother
[TS]
00:40:43
◼
►
updating it and one of the apple evil
[TS]
00:40:46
◼
►
said yes exactly yet that what you said
[TS]
00:40:48
◼
►
is what happened like so it they stopped
[TS]
00:40:51
◼
►
developing it in terms of ever releasing
[TS]
00:40:54
◼
►
products but it seemed like at least in
[TS]
00:40:56
◼
►
the beginning they would love to have
[TS]
00:40:57
◼
►
done a spec bump or component bump but
[TS]
00:40:59
◼
►
they just couldn't do it because the
[TS]
00:41:01
◼
►
design they had didn't support what they
[TS]
00:41:03
◼
►
had decided is basically we're not going
[TS]
00:41:05
◼
►
to invest in entirely new model so if
[TS]
00:41:07
◼
►
you can't update this one and the
[TS]
00:41:08
◼
►
engineer say we can't because they
[TS]
00:41:10
◼
►
either tested or ran the numbers or
[TS]
00:41:11
◼
►
whatever we'll look into it again when
[TS]
00:41:13
◼
►
the next round of GPUs and CPUs comes
[TS]
00:41:15
◼
►
out but in the meantime no you can't
[TS]
00:41:17
◼
►
have the budget to make a new one so
[TS]
00:41:19
◼
►
it's semantics say does that mean
[TS]
00:41:20
◼
►
stopping support or whatever but it does
[TS]
00:41:21
◼
►
mean that they they they would have
[TS]
00:41:23
◼
►
liked to have been able to offer speed
[TS]
00:41:26
◼
►
bumps in this one because it is
[TS]
00:41:27
◼
►
embarrassing to offer the same high-end
[TS]
00:41:29
◼
►
computer for multiple years without not
[TS]
00:41:31
◼
►
making it any faster well I die I would
[TS]
00:41:34
◼
►
nitpick a little about that I'm not
[TS]
00:41:35
◼
►
gonna go too far into it now for KC sake
[TS]
00:41:37
◼
►
but that's buddy but yeah I think they
[TS]
00:41:40
◼
►
could have done more in the meantime
[TS]
00:41:42
◼
►
like they could have updated to see the
[TS]
00:41:45
◼
►
CPU was thermally fine it was only the
[TS]
00:41:47
◼
►
GPU thermal balance that was the issue
[TS]
00:41:49
◼
►
with that design they could have updated
[TS]
00:41:52
◼
►
the CPU to the same model like the
[TS]
00:41:54
◼
►
equivalent models in the new families
[TS]
00:41:56
◼
►
and then they could have updated the
[TS]
00:41:58
◼
►
GPUs to more mid-range mid temperature
[TS]
00:42:02
◼
►
models over the years like they didn't
[TS]
00:42:04
◼
►
have to keep selling three and a half
[TS]
00:42:05
◼
►
year old parts like they could have
[TS]
00:42:08
◼
►
updated it by using similar class parts
[TS]
00:42:11
◼
►
there that they already used in that
[TS]
00:42:12
◼
►
design it wouldn't have been as
[TS]
00:42:15
◼
►
competitive but it is even less
[TS]
00:42:18
◼
►
competitive with three year old parts
[TS]
00:42:19
◼
►
they were saying they didn't think that
[TS]
00:42:21
◼
►
trade-off was worth it like the yep we
[TS]
00:42:22
◼
►
could have the parts that would fit in
[TS]
00:42:24
◼
►
there weren't better enough to warrant
[TS]
00:42:26
◼
►
it now arguably after three years if you
[TS]
00:42:27
◼
►
had merely done that thing that you
[TS]
00:42:29
◼
►
never thought was worth it a couple of
[TS]
00:42:30
◼
►
times then you would be farther from
[TS]
00:42:31
◼
►
where you are or even he wait till the
[TS]
00:42:33
◼
►
end and done it that's definitely
[TS]
00:42:35
◼
►
arguable but you know at some point I
[TS]
00:42:37
◼
►
think it really was you know so far on
[TS]
00:42:40
◼
►
the back burner that they weren't even
[TS]
00:42:41
◼
►
entertaining updates to it but what they
[TS]
00:42:44
◼
►
said in this thing was you know even
[TS]
00:42:46
◼
►
though we could have made incremental
[TS]
00:42:47
◼
►
improvements the incremental
[TS]
00:42:48
◼
►
improvements didn't seem worthwhile I
[TS]
00:42:50
◼
►
guess I couldn't justify whatever it
[TS]
00:42:52
◼
►
would take to you know the basically the
[TS]
00:42:53
◼
►
overhead of ever doing a spec bump and
[TS]
00:42:55
◼
►
making new models and doing all the
[TS]
00:42:57
◼
►
stuff or whatever this is taking
[TS]
00:42:59
◼
►
everything they said at face value who
[TS]
00:43:00
◼
►
knows but actually what's actually going
[TS]
00:43:01
◼
►
on and how far along they got with any
[TS]
00:43:03
◼
►
kind of upgrades this thing and at what
[TS]
00:43:06
◼
►
point they were nixed whether in the
[TS]
00:43:08
◼
►
idea phase or after it had been almost
[TS]
00:43:10
◼
►
ready for sale you never tell because
[TS]
00:43:11
◼
►
all we see is what they actually release
[TS]
00:43:13
◼
►
right but anyway so the point I was
[TS]
00:43:15
◼
►
trying to make is obviously something
[TS]
00:43:17
◼
►
has changed with with apples philosophy
[TS]
00:43:21
◼
►
or the whatever they're using to make
[TS]
00:43:24
◼
►
these decisions of whether to invest in
[TS]
00:43:26
◼
►
certain product lines whether to update
[TS]
00:43:28
◼
►
them or not because they were clearly
[TS]
00:43:30
◼
►
going in one direction for some time and
[TS]
00:43:32
◼
►
they are still going in that direction
[TS]
00:43:33
◼
►
for most the product lines I mean you
[TS]
00:43:35
◼
►
know nothing has changed in their
[TS]
00:43:37
◼
►
releases yet but it's pretty clear if
[TS]
00:43:39
◼
►
you look at the release schedule since
[TS]
00:43:41
◼
►
about 2012 everything slowed down and it
[TS]
00:43:45
◼
►
seemed like they went from releasing as
[TS]
00:43:48
◼
►
much as they could in most the product
[TS]
00:43:50
◼
►
lines to releasing as little as they
[TS]
00:43:53
◼
►
could get away with and that is
[TS]
00:43:56
◼
►
worrisome and that's what we've been
[TS]
00:43:57
◼
►
complaining about for years and so it
[TS]
00:44:00
◼
►
does it seems like whatever was causing
[TS]
00:44:03
◼
►
that to be the result maybe a maybe a
[TS]
00:44:07
◼
►
change has happened there in their
[TS]
00:44:09
◼
►
thinking or their decision making or
[TS]
00:44:12
◼
►
whatever else something has changed to
[TS]
00:44:14
◼
►
make apple flip around on the mac pro
[TS]
00:44:17
◼
►
and on displays and have this meeting
[TS]
00:44:20
◼
►
and tell us what they were thinking like
[TS]
00:44:22
◼
►
I hope that doesn't just apply to
[TS]
00:44:25
◼
►
placating the media enough for the mac
[TS]
00:44:29
◼
►
thing to say okay well now Apple cares
[TS]
00:44:30
◼

about us again in the end I hope that
[TS]
00:44:32
◼
►
applies to their entire thinking about
[TS]
00:44:34
◼
►
all their products I'm tired of Apple
[TS]
00:44:39
◼
►
seemingly thinking you know what if we
[TS]
00:44:41
◼
►
can't do something incredibly innovative
[TS]
00:44:43
◼
►
and awesome we're better off just doing
[TS]
00:44:45
◼
►
nothing you know I think that's the
[TS]
00:44:47
◼
►
wrong approach I think they should they
[TS]
00:44:49
◼
►
should be saying yes to things that are
[TS]
00:44:52
◼
►
simple updates to their products like
[TS]
00:44:53
◼
►
it's one thing to spread yourself too
[TS]
00:44:56
◼
►
thin with new stuff you know new
[TS]
00:44:58
◼
►
initiatives new you know new heart
[TS]
00:45:01
◼
►
entire product lines things like that
[TS]
00:45:02
◼
►
that you could make an argument and we
[TS]
00:45:05
◼
►
have that they should you know be really
[TS]
00:45:07
◼
►
careful with that because it's hard it's
[TS]
00:45:09
◼
►
it's a huge risk of spread themselves
[TS]
00:45:10
◼
►
too thin but it is not hard it shouldn't
[TS]
00:45:14
◼
►
you know it if it's hard for them to
[TS]
00:45:16
◼
►
like update the Mac Mini with the same
[TS]
00:45:18
◼
►
processor line but the new version of it
[TS]
00:45:21
◼
►
like if that's hard they've set that up
[TS]
00:45:23
◼
►
wrong like they are a huge company with
[TS]
00:45:26
◼
►
tons and tons of money and tons of
[TS]
00:45:28
◼
►
engineering resources they should be
[TS]
00:45:31
◼
►
able to do what I described last week as
[TS]
00:45:33
◼
►
like boring updates like what if there's
[TS]
00:45:35
◼
►
a new processor put it in and start
[TS]
00:45:37
◼
►
selling it to all the products that
[TS]
00:45:38
◼
►
could use it like that there is no
[TS]
00:45:40
◼
►
reason why they need to do things like
[TS]
00:45:43
◼
►
what like what the Mac Mini is right now
[TS]
00:45:45
◼
►
right which is like sitting around with
[TS]
00:45:48
◼
►
ancient parts being neglected the last
[TS]
00:45:50
◼
►
he made it worse than it was before
[TS]
00:45:52
◼
►
there's nothing stopping them from doing
[TS]
00:45:54
◼
►
a new mac mini except high high up
[TS]
00:45:57
◼
►
somewhere they have decided that that is
[TS]
00:45:59
◼
►
not worth investing any resources into
[TS]
00:46:00
◼
►
at all and I think that's a mistake and
[TS]
00:46:03
◼
►
maybe we'll see something that turn
[TS]
00:46:05
◼
►
around again probably not especially
[TS]
00:46:06
◼
►
like the mac mini has always been a very
[TS]
00:46:08
◼
►
diluted product but I don't think that's
[TS]
00:46:11
◼
►
that's not a good excuse like if Apple
[TS]
00:46:13
◼
►
really wants like to fulfill what they
[TS]
00:46:16
◼
►
say they are and make the best products
[TS]
00:46:18
◼
►
for people that they can and only make
[TS]
00:46:20
◼
►
great stuff like they sit that's what
[TS]
00:46:22
◼
►
they say they do that isn't always true
[TS]
00:46:23
◼
►
but that is what they say to do and I
[TS]
00:46:25
◼
►
believe that's what they want to do and
[TS]
00:46:26
◼
►
that is what that is what they want to
[TS]
00:46:27
◼
►
be then they have to set up their
[TS]
00:46:30
◼
►
product line in a way that allows them
[TS]
00:46:33
◼
►
and end their management structure and
[TS]
00:46:35
◼
►
their priorities they have to set this
[TS]
00:46:36
◼
►
up in a way that allows them to not
[TS]
00:46:40
◼
►
leave things in complete neglect for
[TS]
00:46:42
◼
►
years because they aren't the most
[TS]
00:46:45
◼
►
profitable product lines in the world
[TS]
00:46:46
◼
►
like you know they sell a lot of all
[TS]
00:46:49
◼
►
these things all these products like and
[TS]
00:46:51
◼
►
we mentioned last week like they like
[TS]
00:46:53
◼
►
the one percent or whatever of mac sales
[TS]
00:46:55
◼
►
asst is like still like 200,000 a year
[TS]
00:46:57
◼
►
and like as many as the B interview x5
[TS]
00:46:59
◼
►
like it is worth them if they're going
[TS]
00:47:01
◼
►
to have a product line at all I think
[TS]
00:47:05
◼
►
it's worth it's worth them keeping it
[TS]
00:47:06
◼
►
minimally updated and what that means is
[TS]
00:47:09
◼
►
not every four years you make it worse
[TS]
00:47:11
◼
►
what that means is you keep it updated
[TS]
00:47:14
◼
►
every time you can and you don't have to
[TS]
00:47:17
◼
►
do a whole new case design you know that
[TS]
00:47:20
◼
►
like that's that I feel like you know
[TS]
00:47:22
◼
►
but like last week discussing about how
[TS]
00:47:24
◼
►
like Apple needs like the audacity and
[TS]
00:47:26
◼
►
confidence to release boring products
[TS]
00:47:29
◼
►
sometimes it seems like it seemed like
[TS]
00:47:30
◼
►
they would rather you know that they
[TS]
00:47:31
◼
►
would rather do nothing and neglect
[TS]
00:47:33
◼
►
something for years then release
[TS]
00:47:35
◼
►
something that isn't that exciting and I
[TS]
00:47:37
◼
►
just think that's the wrong decision I
[TS]
00:47:38
◼
►
think that they need to start thinking
[TS]
00:47:40
◼
►
either way of like that might be true
[TS]
00:47:42
◼
►
for certain products I don't know
[TS]
00:47:43
◼
►
certain like you know mass consumer
[TS]
00:47:45
◼
►
fashion type of products maybe the
[TS]
00:47:47
◼
►
iphone although that's kind of its own
[TS]
00:47:49
◼
►
schedule anyway you know not true the
[TS]
00:47:51
◼
►
watch they just gave that a speed bump
[TS]
00:47:52
◼
►
yeah what's your name on the outside
[TS]
00:47:54
◼
►
better stuff on the inside that's your
[TS]
00:47:55
◼
►
thicker but really I feel like they need
[TS]
00:47:59
◼
►
to bring that same philosophy to all
[TS]
00:48:01
◼
►
their products of just like you know
[TS]
00:48:02
◼
►
what when when there's like if the mac
[TS]
00:48:05
◼
►
mini can't be updated at least every two
[TS]
00:48:08
◼
►
years you know the stuff goes into it
[TS]
00:48:10
◼
►
like every year if the mac mini can't
[TS]
00:48:12
◼
►
consider at least every two years to
[TS]
00:48:14
◼
►
whatever's current first form factor
[TS]
00:48:15
◼
►
then it was badly designed and it should
[TS]
00:48:17
◼
►
be redesigned at me neither it is the
[TS]
00:48:19
◼
►
problem with the map really you know if
[TS]
00:48:21
◼
►
the mac pro can't be updated easily then
[TS]
00:48:23
◼
►
that they then they did a horrible job
[TS]
00:48:25
◼
►
designing it and so any of their
[TS]
00:48:28
◼
►
products that that you can say that
[TS]
00:48:29
◼
►
about like I feel like they they need to
[TS]
00:48:32
◼
►
and maybe this is what it to it like
[TS]
00:48:35
◼
►
they need to get like some humility in
[TS]
00:48:37
◼
►
the sense that like their designs need
[TS]
00:48:39
◼
►
to be a little more humble and they have
[TS]
00:48:42
◼
►
to be okay releasing you know like a
[TS]
00:48:44
◼
►
slightly more utilitarian version of
[TS]
00:48:46
◼
►
some of these products not all of them
[TS]
00:48:48
◼
►
but some of them and then they also then
[TS]
00:48:50
◼
►
have to have the confidence as I said
[TS]
00:48:51
◼
►
last week they have a confidence that
[TS]
00:48:53
◼
►
they you know what it's okay
[TS]
00:48:55
◼
►
to release a boring Mac Pro update and a
[TS]
00:48:58
◼
►
boring mac mini update that's okay no
[TS]
00:49:01
◼
►
one's gonna say Apple kit enemy anymore
[TS]
00:49:03
◼
►
anybody's ass because the mac mini got
[TS]
00:49:05
◼
►
updated again like that I don't think
[TS]
00:49:08
◼
►
that's true at all it's Tyra because
[TS]
00:49:10
◼
►
because the thing he's talking about
[TS]
00:49:11
◼
►
speed bumps we have a name for them
[TS]
00:49:13
◼
►
because they were so common so so common
[TS]
00:49:16
◼
►
for a long time for years and years and
[TS]
00:49:19
◼
►
years this was just a thing that
[TS]
00:49:20
◼
►
happened just like model years of cars
[TS]
00:49:22
◼
►
they were introduced a model and then
[TS]
00:49:24
◼
►
there would be speed bumps and that
[TS]
00:49:26
◼
►
eventually there would be a new model
[TS]
00:49:27
◼
►
that's fancier in some way that's how
[TS]
00:49:29
◼
►
Apple products work for a long time and
[TS]
00:49:31
◼
►
during that time every time there was a
[TS]
00:49:33
◼
►
speed bump nobody says oh no Apple can't
[TS]
00:49:36
◼
►
innovate anymore because we understood
[TS]
00:49:37
◼
►
with speed bumps were the fancy new one
[TS]
00:49:40
◼
►
is in here it's just a speed bump for
[TS]
00:49:41
◼
►
the other one and people go oh this is
[TS]
00:49:43
◼
►
boring announcement it's just a speed
[TS]
00:49:45
◼
►
bump but we had a word for it because it
[TS]
00:49:47
◼
►
was a thing that happened routinely
[TS]
00:49:48
◼
►
little did we know that you may not you
[TS]
00:49:51
◼
►
may like I don't want speed bumps I want
[TS]
00:49:52
◼
►
a fancy new one every time you know
[TS]
00:49:53
◼
►
what's worse than speed bumps no speed
[TS]
00:49:55
◼
►
bumps yeah exactly just nothing new at
[TS]
00:49:58
◼
►
all so I think there is no PR damage of
[TS]
00:50:03
◼
►
speed bumps it's just that at some point
[TS]
00:50:04
◼
►
Apple decided that speed bumps weren't a
[TS]
00:50:08
◼
►
thing they wanted to do and I have my
[TS]
00:50:10
◼
►
own completely unverified anonymous
[TS]
00:50:12
◼
►
sources who are not the ATP tipster or
[TS]
00:50:14
◼
►
they could be for all we know because
[TS]
00:50:15
◼
►
it's just email man I don't know where
[TS]
00:50:16
◼
►
the exit stuff comes from who conveyed
[TS]
00:50:20
◼
►
this again completely on source
[TS]
00:50:22
◼
►
information that the high-end imac was
[TS]
00:50:25
◼
►
the thing that Apple isn't playing for a
[TS]
00:50:27
◼
►
while so there are hopes for that to
[TS]
00:50:29
◼
►
have good internal who talk a bit more
[TS]
00:50:30
◼
►
about that with more on source rumors
[TS]
00:50:32
◼
►
later this is the unsourced rumor show
[TS]
00:50:33
◼
►
but the decision about the new Mac Pro
[TS]
00:50:37
◼
►
and display were made fairly recently
[TS]
00:50:39
◼
►
and the summary is neither of these
[TS]
00:50:42
◼
►
products meaning the high-end imac and
[TS]
00:50:44
◼
►
the new Mac Pro are a good financial roi
[TS]
00:50:46
◼
►
but there is now recognition to the
[TS]
00:50:48
◼
►
senior VP and CEO level that's important
[TS]
00:50:51
◼
►
for the company to make them and that's
[TS]
00:50:52
◼
►
what it boils down to like that I can
[TS]
00:50:55
◼
►
totally imagine all these products not
[TS]
00:50:56
◼
►
being a good return on investment
[TS]
00:50:58
◼
►
doesn't mean that they're they make
[TS]
00:51:00
◼
►
losses but you know good ROI means i put
[TS]
00:51:02
◼
►
x em on in and I want to get x times
[TS]
00:51:04
◼
►
some large number amount out and a
[TS]
00:51:07
◼
►
better ROI me like
[TS]
00:51:08
◼
►
yeah it doesn't seem like I make enough
[TS]
00:51:09
◼
►
money on speed bump Mac minis to even
[TS]
00:51:11
◼
►
bother doing that at all what if we just
[TS]
00:51:13
◼
►
don't do it how did the sales look it's
[TS]
00:51:15
◼
►
like up sales are flat it's like great
[TS]
00:51:17
◼
►
we just saved some money I just
[TS]
00:51:18
◼
►
increased the ROI and the mac mini by
[TS]
00:51:20
◼
►
not speed bumping it and they did they
[TS]
00:51:21
◼
►
did increase the ROI in the mac mini and
[TS]
00:51:23
◼
►
I think they can kind of get away with
[TS]
00:51:24
◼
►
that in the mac mini but a reasonable
[TS]
00:51:25
◼
►
amount but like one Mac Pro's what if we
[TS]
00:51:28
◼
►
just don't ever update the mac pro
[TS]
00:51:30
◼
►
because engineering says it would cost a
[TS]
00:51:31
◼
►
lot of money in require a redesign what
[TS]
00:51:33
◼
►
are the sales look like they go down a
[TS]
00:51:34
◼
►
little bit but they're about the same
[TS]
00:51:35
◼
►
great we just increased the ROI on the
[TS]
00:51:37
◼
►
Mac Pro and you know the what this
[TS]
00:51:40
◼
►
bullion source rumor now conveys is that
[TS]
00:51:43
◼
►
even though it's not a good ROI which is
[TS]
00:51:46
◼
►
a point I've been emphasizing since 2013
[TS]
00:51:48
◼
►
it's important for the company to make
[TS]
00:51:50
◼
►
these products anyway an apple is
[TS]
00:51:52
◼
►
totally on that page now and again
[TS]
00:51:55
◼
►
another thing you can pick up from the
[TS]
00:51:56
◼
►
transcript is everything Marco said
[TS]
00:51:57
◼
►
about frequent updates that was in all
[TS]
00:51:59
◼
►
the summary articles like that apple
[TS]
00:52:01
◼
►
says they want to make a new Mac Pro
[TS]
00:52:02
◼
►
that can have frequent updates it is
[TS]
00:52:04
◼
►
further emphasizing the transcript like
[TS]
00:52:06
◼
►
further in detail emphasizes like they
[TS]
00:52:08
◼
►
want to make a Mac Pro that they can
[TS]
00:52:10
◼
►
make the parts inside of it better on a
[TS]
00:52:13
◼
►
regular basis they don't commit to doing
[TS]
00:52:15
◼
►
it on a particular schedule but they
[TS]
00:52:16
◼
►
emphasize this is the thing we did wrong
[TS]
00:52:19
◼
►
and we're going to fix it by doing it
[TS]
00:52:21
◼
►
right we want a machine that without
[TS]
00:52:23
◼
►
redesigning the machine we can regularly
[TS]
00:52:26
◼
►
and steadily and easily and cheaply do
[TS]
00:52:28
◼
►
this things that we used to think are
[TS]
00:52:30
◼
►
boring which are called speed bumps and
[TS]
00:52:32
◼
►
so you know that's why we're all so
[TS]
00:52:33
◼
►
happy about this is because they didn't
[TS]
00:52:35
◼
►
just say we're going to make a new pro
[TS]
00:52:36
◼
►
mac pro and trust us you really like it
[TS]
00:52:37
◼
►
just wait they said specific things
[TS]
00:52:39
◼
►
about and the specific things they said
[TS]
00:52:41
◼
►
and emphasized are exactly what we want
[TS]
00:52:43
◼
►
so yay Apple let's now fast-forward for

about this particular rumor I wouldn't
[TS]
00:54:58
◼
►
put too much into it you know and the
[TS]
00:55:00
◼
►
theta the other parts a bit about how
[TS]
00:55:01
◼
►
like you know like Apple is said to be
[TS]
00:55:03
◼
►
making a non-touch bar 15-inch MacBook
[TS]
00:55:05
◼
►
Pro option yeah that does just trolling
[TS]
00:55:08
◼
►
Marco I I honestly first of all you know
[TS]
00:55:12
◼
►
I want to be clear I don't hate the
[TS]
00:55:14
◼
►
touch bar that much I would just given
[TS]
00:55:16
◼
►
the choice to get it or not get it right
[TS]
00:55:18
◼
►
now I chose not get it and they're added
[TS]
00:55:21
◼
►
like that's due to other factors also
[TS]
00:55:22
◼
►
like like I wanted something smaller and
[TS]
00:55:24
◼
►
the the 13-inch that comes in both touch
[TS]
00:55:27
◼
►
bar on non touch bar like the non-touch
[TS]
00:55:29
◼
►
bar gets better battery life by a lot
[TS]
00:55:31
◼
►
and I really and better life is very
[TS]
00:55:33
◼
►
important to me right now so like you
[TS]
00:55:35
◼
►
it's obviously like you know other
[TS]
00:55:38
◼
►
factors have go into this decision for
[TS]
00:55:40
◼
►
everybody you know there's cost
[TS]
00:55:41
◼
►
considerations for a lot of people in it
[TS]
00:55:43
◼
►
so like I don't think there's actually
[TS]
00:55:46
◼
►
that much demand to make 15-inch MacBook
[TS]
00:55:49
◼
►
Pros without the touch bar and I also
[TS]
00:55:52
◼
►
would be incredibly surprised if Apple
[TS]
00:55:56
◼
►
did that for user satisfaction reasons
[TS]
00:56:00
◼
►
now what they might do you know there's
[TS]
00:56:03
◼
►
also a lot of complaints about the
[TS]
00:56:04
◼
►
pricing of the new macbook pros because
[TS]
00:56:05
◼
►
it is higher so I could see them may be
[TS]
00:56:08
◼
►
offering you know in in the next update
[TS]
00:56:11
◼
►
to the macbook pro generation whenever
[TS]
00:56:14
◼
►
that comes I don't know if it's I don't
[TS]
00:56:15
◼
►
know when the chips are coming out maybe
[TS]
00:56:16
◼
►
this fall or next spring who knows but
[TS]
00:56:18
◼
►
whenever that happens it would not
[TS]
00:56:20
◼
►
surprise me if they made an entry level
[TS]
00:56:22
◼
►
15 inch model that was maybe you know
[TS]
00:56:26
◼
►
1999 and that one had no discrete GPU
[TS]
00:56:30
◼
►
and no touch bar to hit that price point
[TS]
00:56:33
◼
►
the 15 inch escape yeah basically you
[TS]
00:56:36
◼
►
know it cuz in the past they you know
[TS]
00:56:38
◼
►
they've done that with the GPU selection
[TS]
00:56:39
◼
►
which I've talked about before where is
[TS]
00:56:40
◼
►
like in the past like the retina
[TS]
00:56:41
◼
►
generation everything the and even the
[TS]
00:56:43
◼
►
one right before that they had like the
[TS]
00:56:45
◼
►
base model which was about two thousand
[TS]
00:56:47
◼
►
bucks had only the Intel integrated GPU
[TS]
00:56:50
◼
►
and you had to spend a few hundred more
[TS]
00:56:52
◼
►
to get one with a little bit more stuff
[TS]
00:56:54
◼
►
in an end to discrete GPU and it would
[TS]
00:56:57
◼
►
not surprise me at all to see them to
[TS]
00:56:58
◼
►
the same thing here she just give it
[TS]
00:57:00
◼
►
another one that is 1999 so people will
[TS]
00:57:03
◼
►
stop complaining about the price and has
[TS]
00:57:04
◼
►
a few things cut out of it and one of
[TS]
00:57:05
◼
►
them would probably be this discrete GPU
[TS]
00:57:07
◼
►
and one of them might be the touch bar
[TS]
00:57:08
◼
►
and that would be totally fine like but
[TS]
00:57:11
◼
►
that wouldn't be because quote everyone
[TS]
00:57:13
◼
►
hates the touch bar it would be because
[TS]
00:57:15
◼
►
they want to hit a price point yeah they
[TS]
00:57:18
◼
►
did also mention the transcripts people
[TS]
00:57:19
◼
►
have some questions about ports they
[TS]
00:57:21
◼
►
didn't say they were going to even
[TS]
00:57:22
◼
►
entertain this idea but it was mentioned
[TS]
00:57:25
◼
►
as an idea that exists just like the mac
[TS]
00:57:27
◼
►
mini as a product that exists in the
[TS]
00:57:28
◼
►
lineup of having a macbook pro like with
[TS]
00:57:37
◼
►
legacy ports like that the only things
[TS]
00:57:39
◼
►
on the side of it wouldn't be the
[TS]
00:57:40
◼
►
Thunder ball three USB a few things that
[TS]
00:57:43
◼
►
was there was brought up as a question
[TS]
00:57:44
◼
►
and Apple didn't immediately shut the
[TS]
00:57:46
◼
►
door and say we are never doing that and
[TS]
00:57:48
◼
►
that's you know in the Apple it's like
[TS]
00:57:50
◼
►
wow they're entertaining the idea of
[TS]
00:57:52
◼
►
possibly having a macbook pro with
[TS]
00:57:53
◼
►
different ports on the side of it may be
[TS]
00:57:55
◼
►
an SD card slot I don't would hold your
[TS]
00:57:56
◼
►
breath for it but you know that's what
[TS]
00:57:58
◼
►
Apple does like they said they make a
[TS]
00:57:59
◼
►
product we do the best we can see what
[TS]
00:58:01
◼
►
people think of it what their behavior
[TS]
00:58:03
◼
►
indicates and then for the next one you
[TS]
00:58:05
◼
►
know they said for the next one we're
[TS]
00:58:06
◼
►

[TS]
00:58:08
◼
►
we've learned and you know and Marco
[TS]
00:58:10
◼
►
suggestion sounds totally plausible both
[TS]
00:58:12
◼
►
because it makes sense from a business
[TS]
00:58:13
◼
►
perspective and also because if that's
[TS]
00:58:15
◼
►
what people are telling them based on
[TS]
00:58:16
◼
►
like you know this rumor of buying
[TS]
00:58:18
◼

refurbished ones or people buying the
[TS]
00:58:20
◼
►
escape or whatever they'll do that to
[TS]
00:58:22

fill a market need and the same by the
[TS]
00:58:23
◼

quotes in the transcript if you're

like cut them off and like said no no

touchscreen Mac this is not something
[TS]
01:01:34
◼

customers interests and have it know
[TS]
01:01:35
◼

what customers are interested is because
[TS]
01:01:36
◼
►
they're talking to them right this is a
[TS]
01:01:38
◼
►
great example of I feel like if I was in
[TS]
01:01:41
◼
►
that meeting I mean I don't know I'm
[TS]
01:01:42
◼
►
it's hard to say what you were doing
[TS]
01:01:44
◼
►
your in these meetings but in a relaxed
[TS]
01:01:47
◼

environment where I didn't feel pressure
[TS]
01:01:48
◼
►
to be well behaved I would say but come
[TS]
01:01:52
◼
►
on guys you know you can't just ask
[TS]
01:01:53
◼
►
customers what they want like new yeah
[TS]
01:01:55
◼
►
you have to do that but customers don't
[TS]
01:01:57
◼
►
always know what they want until you
[TS]
01:01:58
◼
►
showed them no one would know customer
[TS]
01:02:00
◼
►
would have ever requested the iphone but
[TS]
01:02:01
◼
►
guess what when you made it there like
[TS]
01:02:03
◼
►
yes that if you ask them what they
[TS]
01:02:04
◼
►
wanted they would have been like a
[TS]
01:02:05
◼
►
fancier version of whatever nokia
[TS]
01:02:07
◼
►
smartphone they had right now right I
[TS]
01:02:09
◼

don't I think Matt custom Mac Pro
[TS]
01:02:12
◼
►
customers aren't requesting a touch
[TS]
01:02:13
◼
►
screaming but if it turns out that the
[TS]
01:02:16
◼
►
surface to do is a good idea that has
[TS]
01:02:18
◼
►
legs by the time your customers are
[TS]
01:02:21
◼
►
requesting it it's way too late because
[TS]
01:02:23
◼
►
of because of the the things you would
[TS]
01:02:25
◼
►
have to do to your OS or you know to
[TS]
01:02:28
◼
►
your to App Store economy depending on
[TS]
01:02:30
◼
►
whether you're trying to make a mac into
[TS]
01:02:31
◼
►
that or make an iOS device into that
[TS]
01:02:33
◼
►
will take you a long time so Apple
[TS]
01:02:36
◼
►
should not be asking its customers like
[TS]
01:02:38
◼
►
you know not be deciding just because
[TS]
01:02:40
◼
►
its customers don't want one now that
[TS]
01:02:42
◼
►
it's not a good idea clearly Apple
[TS]
01:02:44
◼
►
thinks it's still not a good idea and
[TS]
01:02:45
◼
►
I'm sure that experimented with and I'm
[TS]
01:02:46
◼
►
sure they use the service studio prop
[TS]
01:02:48
◼
►
they even even a dumped on the surface
[TS]
01:02:50
◼
►
studios like a drawing experience like
[TS]
01:02:53
◼
►
they basically said the ipad pro has a
[TS]
01:02:54
◼
►
better drawing experience i'm assuming
[TS]
01:02:55
◼
►
you mean more responsive and less
[TS]
01:02:57
◼
►
parallax because you did this you know
[TS]
01:02:58
◼
►
like which is true right it totally true
[TS]
01:03:01
◼
►
but I you know they may be right this is
[TS]
01:03:05
◼
►
not that the surface to do idea it
[TS]
01:03:07
◼
►
doesn't have legs in the design
[TS]
01:03:09
◼
►
community but the reason I would cite
[TS]
01:03:11
◼
►
for that is not that the first iteration
[TS]
01:03:13
◼
►
of this has flaws versus some existing
[TS]
01:03:15
◼
►
tech because that's just like I'm you
[TS]
01:03:17
◼
►
know a PR whatever like the first
[TS]
01:03:19
◼
►
version of everything is wonky right you
[TS]
01:03:22
◼
►
know the first Mac web was Ram starve
[TS]
01:03:24
◼
►
the first iphone like didn't even shoot
[TS]
01:03:26
◼
►
video right you know so you can't cite
[TS]
01:03:28
◼
►
that right that doesn't mean and you
[TS]
01:03:29
◼
►
also can't site of our customers aren't
[TS]
01:03:31
◼
►
asking this of course they're not asking
[TS]
01:03:32
◼
►
for they're never going to ask for the
[TS]
01:03:34
◼
►
visionary next big thing is they don't
[TS]
01:03:35
◼
►
know they want it yet but if the server
[TS]
01:03:37
◼
►
studio starts getting penetration and
[TS]
01:03:38
◼
►
starts being used by more people
[TS]
01:03:40
◼
►
eventually they will be saying hey I why
[TS]
01:03:42
◼
►
don't you have something like this and
[TS]
01:03:43
◼
►
maybe Apple will say take this humongous
[TS]
01:03:46
◼
►
iPad pro and try to find pearl apps for
[TS]
01:03:48
◼
►
it or something so anyway that bothered
[TS]
01:03:50
◼
►
me a little bit because I don't like to
[TS]
01:03:51
◼
►
say no and then you're not thinking
[TS]
01:03:53
◼
►
about it is fine but to cite those
[TS]
01:03:55
◼
►
reasons like those are those are not
[TS]
01:03:58
◼
►
those are not reasons that should be
[TS]
01:04:00
◼
►
convincing to you internally if their
[TS]
01:04:01
◼
►
reasons you want to pair it back to the
[TS]
01:04:02
◼
►
press to give explanations that's fine
[TS]
01:04:04
◼
►
but I really hope internally like there
[TS]
01:04:06
◼
►
does that fear I get especially want to
[TS]
01:04:08
◼
►
hear people who are good at talking to
[TS]
01:04:10
◼
►
the press at Apple the fear I get that
[TS]
01:04:13
◼
►
they believe their own hype that the
[TS]
01:04:15
◼
►
reasons they give externally for things
[TS]
01:04:17
◼
►
are also the reasons they use internally
[TS]
01:04:19
◼
►
to justify their decisions which I
[TS]
01:04:20
◼
►
sincerely hope is not the case because
[TS]
01:04:22
◼
►
so many of the reasons are our bad
[TS]
01:04:24
◼
►
reasons you know like they're there
[TS]
01:04:26
◼
►
like their their Apple 101 bad reasons
[TS]
01:04:29
◼
►
like the whole history of Apple shows
[TS]
01:04:30
◼
►
this is not how you should be making
[TS]
01:04:31
◼
►
decisions because every success you had
[TS]
01:04:33
◼
►
you know defied these or even just like
[TS]
01:04:35
◼
►
plain old you know ed catmull creativity
[TS]
01:04:37
◼
►
and success hides problem reasons what
[TS]
01:04:39
◼
►
evers like it's fine to tell them to
[TS]
01:04:41
◼
►
other people but i really hope you don't
[TS]
01:04:43
◼
►
believe like because this first server
[TS]
01:04:45
◼
►
studio has technical flaws that that's
[TS]
01:04:47
◼
►
why it's a terrible idea if you're going
[TS]
01:04:49
◼
►
to say we've tried the idea internally
[TS]
01:04:51
◼
►
and we found out that it's terrible
[TS]
01:04:52
◼
►
which they have said in the past that at
[TS]
01:04:54
◼
►
least I give more credence to because it
[TS]
01:04:55
◼
►
shows you are seriously pursuing the
[TS]
01:04:57
◼
►
idea but anyway that bothered me I still
[TS]
01:05:00
◼
►
think the server studio is an idea that
[TS]
01:05:02
◼
►
has some potential some artists also
[TS]
01:05:04
◼
►
agree I just hope apple doesn't get
[TS]
01:05:08
◼
►
caught flat-footed on this one because
[TS]
01:05:10
◼
►
again it's not like oh well so it
[TS]
01:05:11
◼
►
becomes accessible Apple can make one
[TS]
01:05:13
◼
►
they have a serious software and
[TS]
01:05:14
◼
►
platform thing to resolve to ever ship
[TS]
01:05:16
◼
►
anything like that they have to decide
[TS]
01:05:18
◼
►
whether it's a mac or an iPad and either
[TS]
01:05:20
◼
►
decision they make their a bunch of
[TS]
01:05:21
◼
►
other software and ecosystem things they
[TS]
01:05:23
◼
►
have to do to make that work yeah I mean
[TS]
01:05:25
◼
►
like everyone I've known who has bought
[TS]
01:05:28
◼
►
a surface to do or used one and the
[TS]
01:05:30
◼
►
granite this is not a large group of
[TS]
01:05:31
◼
►
people but you know it's like people on
[TS]
01:05:33
◼
►
Twitter and stuff the responses are all
[TS]
01:05:35
◼
►
are pretty consistent which is this is
[TS]
01:05:39
◼
►
really cool there's really something to
[TS]
01:05:41
◼
►
this but windows sucks like we we all
[TS]
01:05:44
◼
►
know that I really like this is no
[TS]
01:05:46
◼
►
surprise to anybody listen to this show
[TS]
01:05:47
◼
►
and I like no likelihood but you know
[TS]
01:05:50
◼
►
there is clearly like you know there's
[TS]
01:05:52
◼
►
something there's something here and I
[TS]
01:05:54
◼
►
think if Apple chose to do something
[TS]
01:05:57
◼
►
with that they might be able do a really
[TS]
01:05:59
◼
►
good job with it I mean there would be
[TS]
01:06:01
◼
►
certain limitations there's you know
[TS]
01:06:03
◼
►
every computer input method has weird
[TS]
01:06:07
◼
►
limitations to it the ipad you know has
[TS]
01:06:10
◼
►
problems with text entry unless you do
[TS]
01:06:12
◼
►
keyboards but that's a weird hack you
[TS]
01:06:14
◼
►
know the computers have problems with
[TS]
01:06:17
◼
►
you know direct interaction and maybe
[TS]
01:06:18
◼
►
leash in like at least there's all sort
[TS]
01:06:20
◼
►
of like everything you do is get it is
[TS]
01:06:21
◼
►
going to be imperfect but i think you
[TS]
01:06:23
◼
►
know the the kind of the model for
[TS]
01:06:25
◼
►
modern computing and devices and in like
[TS]
01:06:28
◼
►
the last decade has really just been
[TS]
01:06:29
◼
►
like well you know what we're going to
[TS]
01:06:31
◼
►
embrace that we can't get this perfect
[TS]
01:06:33
◼
►
and we're going to make things anyway
[TS]
01:06:35
◼
►
the best we can that take advantage of
[TS]
01:06:38
◼
►
what they are and
[TS]
01:06:39
◼
►
leave what they aren't to other devices
[TS]
01:06:41
◼
►
so like you know because if you didn't
[TS]
01:06:44
◼
►
if you weren't willing to do things that
[TS]
01:06:45
◼
►
way tablets wouldn't exist because
[TS]
01:06:47
◼
►
tablets are this this kind of weird
[TS]
01:06:49
◼
►
hybrid that is good at certain things
[TS]
01:06:51
◼
►
computers are good at terrible other
[TS]
01:06:53
◼
►
things are good at and but but they can
[TS]
01:06:56
◼
►
do things the computer can't you know
[TS]
01:06:58
◼
►
it's like it when apple says like oh
[TS]
01:07:00
◼
►
this this we've tried this and it
[TS]
01:07:02
◼
►
doesn't work it can't be done there's
[TS]
01:07:03
◼
►
lots of problems or whatever you could
[TS]
01:07:05
◼
►
have said the same thing about tablets
[TS]
01:07:06
◼
►
in 2009 but they made the ipad anyway
[TS]
01:07:10
◼
►
they found a way they found like like a
[TS]
01:07:12
◼
►
slot for it to fit in in the way people
[TS]
01:07:16
◼
►
use things they there there were things
[TS]
01:07:18
◼
►
that it was really good at and that made
[TS]
01:07:20
◼
►
it worth doing despite all the you know
[TS]
01:07:22
◼
►
downsides of tablets and those downsides
[TS]
01:07:25
◼
►
are still there today but it doesn't
[TS]
01:07:26
◼
►
matter because the things that good at
[TS]
01:07:28
◼
►
it's really good at for certain people
[TS]
01:07:29
◼
►
and so any kind of like touch or pen Mac
[TS]
01:07:34
◼
►
hybrid might be the same thing it might
[TS]
01:07:37
◼
►
be like you know this is kind of weird
[TS]
01:07:39
◼
►
for these reasons over here but it's
[TS]
01:07:42
◼
►
really good at these things and I think
[TS]
01:07:44
◼
►
the surface studios you know slight
[TS]
01:07:46
◼
►
success among among some artisan stuff
[TS]
01:07:49
◼
►
shows that to be the case that like you
[TS]
01:07:51
◼
►
know the drawing on Windows is weird you
[TS]
01:07:54
◼
►
know using a pen and touched on this
[TS]
01:07:56
◼
►
giant you know like drafting table form
[TS]
01:07:59
◼
►
factor pc running a PCOS is weird and
[TS]
01:08:04
◼
►
does have downsides but it also has
[TS]
01:08:07
◼
►
really cool upsides so there I think
[TS]
01:08:09
◼
►
there might be something there and and I
[TS]
01:08:10
◼
►
think it would be it would be
[TS]
01:08:14
◼
►
unfortunate if there was something there
[TS]
01:08:17
◼
►
and Apple wasn't able to or wasn't
[TS]
01:08:19
◼
►
willing to find it and deliver it
[TS]
01:08:22
◼
►
because they either are making bad
[TS]
01:08:25
◼
►
assumptions or that they aren't willing
[TS]
01:08:28
◼
►
to tackle the you know the software
[TS]
01:08:31
◼
►
integration costs that would result in
[TS]
01:08:33
◼
►
doing this kind of like Mac iOS touch
[TS]
01:08:36
◼
►
kind of hybrid OS and because those
[TS]
01:08:38
◼
►
aren't small problems you know those are
[TS]
01:08:40
◼
►
big problems but but I do think it would
[TS]
01:08:43
◼
►
be kind of a shame if there was really a
[TS]
01:08:45
◼
►
product here to be had that could be
[TS]
01:08:46
◼
►
really useful to some people and that we
[TS]
01:08:48
◼
►
weren't ever going to get it because of
[TS]
01:08:49
◼
►
these other issues you know that being
[TS]
01:08:53
◼
►
one of the other things I'm concerned
[TS]
01:08:55
◼
►
about is it does kind of seem like at an
[TS]
01:09:00
◼
►
increasing pace Apple is being surprised
[TS]
01:09:04
◼
►
by customer reactions to what they do
[TS]
01:09:07
◼
►
and that's a little concerning like we
[TS]
01:09:11
◼
►
keep like you know first like when you
[TS]
01:09:13
◼
►
know with with the the 2016 MacBook Pros
[TS]
01:09:15
◼
►
those came out and were you know really
[TS]
01:09:18
◼
►
met with a lot of ambivalence from
[TS]
01:09:19
◼
►
people head and a lot of criticism and a
[TS]
01:09:22
◼
►
lot of anger that they weren't certain
[TS]
01:09:24
◼
►
other things and an apple was you know
[TS]
01:09:27
◼
►
allegedly they were like shocked by this
[TS]
01:09:29
◼
►
that they were like we thought this was
[TS]
01:09:30
◼
►
and you know say the touch bar think we
[TS]
01:09:32
◼
►
thought we thought this was amazing like
[TS]
01:09:34
◼
►
it seems like it's actually not being
[TS]
01:09:35
◼
►
well-received like what how did this
[TS]
01:09:37
◼
►
possibly happen why is it so different
[TS]
01:09:39
◼
►
from what we expected and similar with
[TS]
01:09:41
◼
►
the mac pro you know it turns out that
[TS]
01:09:42
◼
►
if you kill your pro hardware line
[TS]
01:09:45
◼
►
slowly over years with you know neglect
[TS]
01:09:48
◼
►
after releasing and already polarizing
[TS]
01:09:50
◼
►
product then it turns out people get mad
[TS]
01:09:53
◼
►
who like the old thing or one of the
[TS]
01:09:54
◼
►
current things stay current and they
[TS]
01:09:56
◼
►
seemed greatly surprised by that as well
[TS]
01:09:59
◼
►
that reminds me of something else that i
[TS]
01:10:01
◼
►

[TS]
01:11:23
◼

move I just sincerely hope that
[TS]
01:11:24
◼
►
internally that they they have there are
[TS]
01:11:27
◼
►
clear-eyed about all this and you can't
[TS]
01:11:29
◼
►
tell they're not going to tell you what
[TS]
01:11:30
◼
►
but they talk about in their boardrooms
[TS]
01:11:32
◼
►
what do they put up in their slides and
[TS]
01:11:33
◼
►
I really believe they are clear I've is
[TS]
01:11:34
◼
►
it remember they had like a leak of the
[TS]
01:11:36
◼
►
like slideshow many years ago samsung
[TS]
01:11:40
◼
►
thing about it like like we don't have

◼
►

◼
►

[TS]
01:11:46
◼
►
phone yeah yeah that's that's how you
[TS]
01:11:48
◼
►
talk to yourself internally in a healthy
[TS]
01:11:50
◼
►
way and I'm sure they do but like it's
[TS]
01:11:51
◼
►
when you only get the external like the
[TS]
01:11:54
◼
►
you know the party line of like here's
[TS]
01:11:55
◼
►
what we have to tell you it makes me
[TS]
01:11:59
◼
►
worried sometimes because it's just so
[TS]
01:12:00
◼
►
hard like they'll they'll never they'll
[TS]
01:12:03
◼
►
never tell you what they tell themselves
[TS]
01:12:04
◼
►
internally and you just worry that their
[TS]
01:12:06
◼
►
believe in their own height because they
[TS]
01:12:07
◼
►
are so consistent and disciplined with
[TS]
01:12:09
◼
►
their message to the outside world and
[TS]
01:12:10
◼
►
because they choose to offer up these
[TS]
01:12:12
◼
►
things like this that are just like
[TS]
01:12:13
◼
►
instantly refutable like oh people who
[TS]
01:12:16
◼
►
are moving to I'm accent and macbook
[TS]
01:12:18
◼
►
pros like well duh like like why even
[TS]
01:12:21
◼
►
tell us that aren't we all smart here
[TS]
01:12:23
◼
►
don't of course they're moving to like
[TS]
01:12:25
◼
►
what else are they gonna do I guess I
[TS]
01:12:26
◼
►
could go to Windows is the other choice
[TS]
01:12:27
◼
►
right which is also happening by the way
[TS]
01:12:29
◼
►
and you're not going to tell us about
[TS]
01:12:30
◼
►
that so that anyway sorry to derail
[TS]
01:12:33
◼
►
there yeah anyway so all that is to say
[TS]
01:12:36
◼
►
that it it it certainly has seemed in in
[TS]
01:12:40
◼
►
recent times that Apple seems to be
[TS]
01:12:42
◼
►
increasingly surprised that people don't
[TS]
01:12:44
◼
►
universally loved what they brew what
[TS]
01:12:46
◼
►
they put out there and that that
[TS]
01:12:49
◼
►
concerns me and I hope in in whatever
[TS]
01:12:53
◼
►
has kind of flipped around or changed
[TS]
01:12:55
◼
►
that has caused them to decide to do the
[TS]
01:12:57
◼
►
Mac Pro again and to start you know
[TS]
01:12:59
◼
►
really serving pros well hopefully again
[TS]
01:13:01
◼
►
whatever whatever has changed to cause
[TS]
01:13:05
◼
►
that I hope it has also fixed whatever
[TS]
01:13:07
◼
►
was causing them to put out products
[TS]
01:13:11
◼
►
with with a very different internal
[TS]
01:13:15
◼
►
impression of what was going to happen
[TS]
01:13:16
◼
►
or how they're going to be received then
[TS]
01:13:19
◼
►
what public actually delivery because
[TS]
01:13:20
◼
►
that is worrisome
[TS]
01:13:21
◼
►
like Apple should not be that caught off
[TS]
01:13:25
◼
►
guard by their reactions to their
[TS]
01:13:27
◼
►
products you know Apple is really good
[TS]
01:13:30
◼
►
most of the time at product design they
[TS]
01:13:33
◼
►
have a huge history doing it very well
[TS]
01:13:35
◼
►
the track record is very very good they
[TS]
01:13:37
◼
►
have incredible talent within the
[TS]
01:13:39
◼
►
company you know and like you know if
[TS]
01:13:41
◼
►
they're going to do something like the
[TS]
01:13:43
◼
►
Apple TV remote that is incredibly bad
[TS]
01:13:46
◼
►
just terrible good thing they update the
[TS]
01:13:49
◼
►
Apple TV every year so that will have to
[TS]
01:13:51
◼
►
deal with that bad remote for a long
[TS]
01:13:52
◼
►
time right yeah like to get something
[TS]
01:13:55
◼
►
like that out into the world there are
[TS]
01:13:57
◼
►
people inside of the company who are
[TS]
01:13:59
◼
►
smart enough and clearly and
[TS]
01:14:01
◼
►
clear-headed enough to look at that and
[TS]
01:14:03
◼
►
say you know what this is kind of a bad
[TS]
01:14:04
◼
►
idea and here's why but for some reason
[TS]
01:14:07
◼
►
they weren't listen to so I just I hope
[TS]
01:14:09
◼
►
something that whatever has changed that
[TS]
01:14:12
◼
►
caused this Mac Pro thing is also going
[TS]
01:14:15
◼
►
to let them be a little bit more honest
[TS]
01:14:18
◼
►
about their own product reactions
[TS]
01:14:20
◼
►
internally before they decide to release
[TS]
01:14:23
◼
►
things or go ahead with things so that
[TS]
01:14:25
◼
►
they are less surprised when the public
[TS]
01:14:27
◼
►
doesn't love every weird beautiful
[TS]
01:14:29
◼
►
useless thing they release chatroom
[TS]
01:14:31
◼
►
points out a quick real-time follow-up
[TS]
01:14:34
◼
►
that federighi said and the things the
[TS]
01:14:36
◼
►
Mac Pro sales didn't fall off that's
[TS]
01:14:37
◼
►
what I said before when I said oh you
[TS]
01:14:38
◼
►
releasing Mac Pro and trash can and then
[TS]
01:14:40
◼
►
sales are kind of level it's another one
[TS]
01:14:43
◼
►
of those facts that could be a hundred
[TS]
01:14:44
◼
►
percent true but it doesn't tell you
[TS]
01:14:46
◼
►
what the initial value was so if the if
[TS]
01:14:48
◼
►
the trashcan Mac Pro was only appealing
[TS]
01:14:50
◼
►
to a certain very small subset of people
[TS]
01:14:52
◼
►
and those people were trapped into but
[TS]
01:14:53
◼
►
repeatedly buying it year after year
[TS]
01:14:54
◼
►
even though it didn't get updated
[TS]
01:14:55
◼
►
without result in flat sales and because
[TS]
01:14:58
◼
►
it's such a small percentage it would
[TS]
01:15:00
◼
►
result in look how many people who we
[TS]
01:15:01
◼
►
classify as pros according to the
[TS]
01:15:03
◼
►
wheeled met weird metric by our much
[TS]
01:15:05
◼
►
more popular machines well of course
[TS]
01:15:07
◼
►
they do those are your most popular
[TS]
01:15:07
◼
►
machines and you know like anyway stats
[TS]
01:15:11
◼
►
that are true but do not necessarily
[TS]
01:15:13
◼
►
prove the thing you're saying that they
[TS]
01:15:14
◼
►
prove it's it's a frustration yeah we go
[TS]
01:15:16
◼
►
ahead ukz now it's some it's curious
[TS]
01:15:21
◼
►
tread reason through what Apple is
[TS]
01:15:23
◼
►
thinking with regard to their products
[TS]
01:15:27
◼
►
and how they're received because you
[TS]
01:15:29
◼
►
know anyone I've ever spoken to us who
[TS]
01:15:31
◼
►
has spent any amount of time as an apple
[TS]
01:15:34
◼
►
employee has all
[TS]
01:15:35
◼
►
he's vehemently said that their biggest
[TS]
01:15:39
◼
►
critics are themselves and I completely
[TS]
01:15:42
◼
►
agree with you guys that from the
[TS]
01:15:43
◼
►
outside it seems clear that they offered
[TS]
01:15:46
◼
►
up this you know touch bar macbook pro
[TS]
01:15:48
◼
►
on a platter and said look at this
[TS]
01:15:49
◼
►
magnificent piece of electronics you
[TS]
01:15:52
◼
►
should be blessed enough to be able to
[TS]
01:15:54
◼
►
give us a whole pile of money for one of
[TS]
01:15:56
◼
►
these and then it did seem from the
[TS]
01:15:59
◼
►
outside like they were surprised that
[TS]
01:16:00
◼
►
people were like yeah we're good but I
[TS]
01:16:03
◼
►
don't know on the inside it's it's it's
[TS]
01:16:06
◼
►
a bold claim for any of us to make if if
[TS]
01:16:09
◼
►
we think that on the inside they were
[TS]
01:16:10
◼
►
really taken aback by it because as you
[TS]
01:16:13
◼
►
said John you know the messaging from
[TS]
01:16:14
◼
►
the out to the outside will always be oh
[TS]
01:16:16
◼
►
no this is exactly what we planned but
[TS]
01:16:18
◼
►
the inside I bet that they're being
[TS]
01:16:21
◼
►
pretty darn honest with themselves and
[TS]
01:16:23
◼
►
maybe the expectation was different but
[TS]
01:16:27
◼
►
I don't think it took them very long to
[TS]
01:16:28
◼
►
realize that who this didn't go the way
[TS]
01:16:30
◼
►
we thought it did and now they're
[TS]
01:16:33
◼
►
turning around now I will concede that
[TS]
01:16:34
◼
►
it certainly seems like the mac pro
[TS]
01:16:36
◼
►
something just went totally wrong there
[TS]
01:16:39
◼
►
because I concede and agree that it took
[TS]
01:16:41
◼
►
way too long way way way too long for
[TS]
01:16:45
◼
►
them to make any statement about what's
[TS]
01:16:47
◼
►
coming and and the consistent reports
[TS]
01:16:50
◼
►
you neyo be that rumors that it's been
[TS]
01:16:53
◼
►
in the last six weeks to six months that
[TS]
01:16:55
◼
►
they've really gotten in on a new mac
[TS]
01:16:57
◼
►
pro like that's kind of alarming but at
[TS]
01:17:00
◼
►
least they're turning the ship around no
[TS]
01:17:03
◼
►
it's just it seems weird it seems weird
[TS]
01:17:05
◼
►
to meet it for us to assume that that
[TS]
01:17:08
◼
►
there aren't some very vocal critics
[TS]
01:17:10
◼
►
within Apple of Apple Oh totally are
[TS]
01:17:13
◼
►
leavin marco was saying that they are
[TS]
01:17:14
◼
►
it's just a question of like they don't
[TS]
01:17:15
◼
►
win they don't win the argument because
[TS]
01:17:17
◼
►
we can tell who wins by what they
[TS]
01:17:18
◼
►
actually ship and yeah and the and like
[TS]
01:17:21
◼
►
i said i think that the presentation
[TS]
01:17:22
◼
►
about the iphone before they had a big
[TS]
01:17:24
◼
►
iphone with a slide i was trying to
[TS]
01:17:26
◼
►
quote was like you know customers want
[TS]
01:17:29
◼
►
what we don't have or something similar
[TS]
01:17:30
◼
►
phrasing like they were just totally
[TS]
01:17:32
◼
►
brutal about we don't have big phones
[TS]
01:17:33
◼
►
customers want them we should make one
[TS]
01:17:36
◼
►
and they did and guess what it sold
[TS]
01:17:37
◼
►
really really well so like I believe
[TS]
01:17:39
◼
►
internally that everything we're saying
[TS]
01:17:41
◼
►
has been said internally by multiple
[TS]
01:17:43
◼
►
people and it's just a question of who
[TS]
01:17:45
◼
►
wins the argument and my general
[TS]
01:17:47
◼
►
frustration is because
[TS]
01:17:48
◼
►
they have executives who are so good at
[TS]
01:17:50
◼
►
talking to the public so good at talking
[TS]
01:17:53
◼
►
to the public in terms of they'll never
[TS]
01:17:55
◼
►
get off message and also like they're
[TS]
01:17:58
◼
►
willing to throw out things that don't
[TS]
01:18:00
◼
►
actually support what they're saying but
[TS]
01:18:01
◼
►
sound like they do at first at first
[TS]
01:18:02
◼
►
glance and I find it frustrating to
[TS]
01:18:04
◼
►
never be able to get to the no seriously
[TS]
01:18:06
◼
►
just talk to me like a human being like
[TS]
01:18:07
◼
►
I guess you'd have to be off the record
[TS]
01:18:09
◼
►
on the record they're never going to do
[TS]
01:18:10
◼
►
that but because because in the end it
[TS]
01:18:13
◼
►
doesn't matter like who cares about the
[TS]
01:18:14
◼
►
internal politics so the products are
[TS]
01:18:15
◼
►
what they are when you ask me questions
[TS]
01:18:17
◼
►
about it i'm not going to trash my own
[TS]
01:18:18
◼
►
product and i'm not going to tell you
[TS]
01:18:20
◼
►
about future ones they could be working
[TS]
01:18:21
◼
►
on a surface studio style computer they
[TS]
01:18:23
◼
►
could have had it in the works for three
[TS]
01:18:25
◼
►
years now and they're trying to get it
[TS]
01:18:26
◼
►
right there never tell you that they're
[TS]
01:18:28
◼
►
you know they're just going to say right
[TS]
01:18:29
◼
►
to the point where they release it Steve
[TS]
01:18:30

this is one of one of Steve Jobs

relationship with Johnny ive and with

great balance
[TS]
01:20:02

of editing and criticism and honesty
[TS]
01:20:05

internally that resulted in mostly only
[TS]
01:20:08
◼

great stuff coming out like the hit rate
[TS]
01:20:09
◼

was pretty good there and and when
[TS]
01:20:11
◼

things did come out there weren't a lot
[TS]
01:20:13
◼

of controversial or polarizing
[TS]
01:20:16
◼

attributes of new products as there are
[TS]
01:20:18

now like now it seems like almost
[TS]
01:20:21

everything that comes out there's you
[TS]
01:20:24

know great advances in some areas but
[TS]
01:20:26
◼

almost all those advances come at some
[TS]
01:20:29
◼

kind of massively polarizing cost and I
[TS]
01:20:32
◼
►
feel like that's happening more recently
[TS]
01:20:34
◼
►
than it used to and maybe that's because
[TS]
01:20:36
◼
►
the the collaboration or the editing up
[TS]
01:20:40

top is not happening it with the same

01:22:00
◼

sponsoring our show I wanted to go back
[TS]
01:22:06
◼
►
just briefly I thought that the
[TS]
01:22:09
◼
►
statistic that John it brief that had
[TS]
01:22:12
◼
►
talked about earlier very quickly was
[TS]
01:22:14
◼
►
just fascinating and this is
[TS]
01:22:16
◼
►
voting from Gruber apples research shows
[TS]
01:22:18
◼
►
that fifteen percent of all mac users
[TS]
01:22:20
◼
►
use at least one pro app frequently
[TS]
01:22:22
◼
►
these are apps for things like music
[TS]
01:22:24
◼
►
creation video editing graphic design
[TS]
01:22:26
◼
►
and software development basically apps
[TS]
01:22:28
◼
►
at our performance intensive and
[TS]
01:22:29
◼
►
additional fifteen percent of all mac
[TS]
01:22:31
◼
►
users use pro apps less frequently but
[TS]
01:22:34
◼
►
at least a few times per month per month
[TS]
01:22:36
◼
►
that thirty percent of the overall Mac
[TS]
01:22:38
◼
►
user base is what Apple considers the
[TS]
01:22:40
◼
►
pro market I don't really have a lot to
[TS]
01:22:42
◼
►
extrapolate from this but I just thought
[TS]
01:22:44
◼
►
it was very very interesting that
[TS]
01:22:46
◼
►
according to Apple fifteen percent of
[TS]
01:22:49
◼
►
users uses them uses a pro app
[TS]
01:22:52
◼
►
frequently whatever that definition is
[TS]
01:22:55
◼
►
be that daily or multiple times a week
[TS]
01:22:56
◼
►
or what have you and then another
[TS]
01:22:58
◼
►
fifteen that uses them at least a few
[TS]
01:23:01
◼
►
times a month and I just thought that
[TS]
01:23:04
◼
►
was a really fascinating statistic that
[TS]
01:23:06
◼
►
I never expected to come out of that
[TS]
01:23:08
◼
►
meeting yeah that's that's a lot higher
[TS]
01:23:10
◼
►
than I would have guessed for is you
[TS]
01:23:11
◼
►
know especially like the thirty percent
[TS]
01:23:12
◼
►
total that's kind of amazing well they
[TS]
01:23:16
◼
►
didn't clearly communicate that because
[TS]
01:23:18
◼
►
if you read the transcript and it was
[TS]
01:23:19
◼
►
much debate about this but many people
[TS]
01:23:21
◼
►
interpreting but now having read the
[TS]
01:23:22
◼
►
transcript it is no more clear to me the
[TS]
01:23:25
◼
►
question is first one is clear fifteen
[TS]
01:23:28
◼
►
percent use use what they classify as a
[TS]
01:23:30
◼
►
pro app at least once a week totally
[TS]
01:23:32
◼
►
clear the second one is the problem
[TS]
01:23:33
◼
►
because they say this group of users
[TS]
01:23:35
◼
►
uses a pro app like once every few weeks
[TS]
01:23:40
◼
►
or whatever was some longer period and
[TS]
01:23:41
◼
►
the question is does that second group
[TS]
01:23:43
◼
►
of users include the first Gruber
[TS]
01:23:45
◼
►
clearly thinks it does because whether
[TS]
01:23:47
◼
►
Apple said was thirty percent use it you
[TS]
01:23:50
◼
►
know in the longer period and 15 in the
[TS]
01:23:52
◼
►
shorter but I can't tell up the 15 is
[TS]
01:23:54
◼
►
part of the 30 like other exclusive
[TS]
01:23:56
◼
►
groups are they inclusive and so you
[TS]
01:23:57
◼
►
can't tell if the total is thirty
[TS]
01:23:59
◼
►
percent or 45 Apple could have
[TS]
01:24:02
◼
►
communicated that better like perhaps
[TS]
01:24:03
◼
►
than text or in some other fashion or it
[TS]
01:24:05
◼
►
could have been clarified so depending
[TS]
01:24:07
◼
►
on how you interpret what they said in
[TS]
01:24:09
◼
►
the transcript and I think it's a big
[TS]
01:24:12
◼
►
difference are are forty-five percent of
[TS]
01:24:14
◼
►
mac users classified as occasional or
[TS]
01:24:17
◼
►
frequent Pro users or is it thirty
[TS]
01:24:20
◼
►
percent and 15 of them are once a week
[TS]
01:24:23
◼
►
either way these are very nice high
[TS]
01:24:25
◼
►
numbers higher than I would have guessed
[TS]
01:24:26
◼
►
but Apple pics what it means to be a pro
[TS]
01:24:29
◼
►
user they use a pro app which they don't
[TS]
01:24:30
◼
►
tell us what it is that it's that oh you
[TS]
01:24:31
◼
►
know like one of those apps use to make
[TS]
01:24:33
◼
►
things right well I think it's I think
[TS]
01:24:36
◼
►
it's pretty clear that what they mean by
[TS]
01:24:37
◼
►
pro app is anything Apple makes it ends
[TS]
01:24:40
◼
►
in pro so logic pro Final Cut Pro also
[TS]
01:24:42
◼
►
probably like I would say adobe creative
[TS]
01:24:44
◼
►
suite apps make sense there and i think
[TS]
01:24:46
◼
►
it was also very clear they meant xcode
[TS]
01:24:47
◼
►
and that includes a lot of people yeah I
[TS]
01:24:50
◼
►
would agree with all of those but there
[TS]
01:24:52
◼
►
how many other things are in that
[TS]
01:24:54
◼
►
categories they didn't give us an
[TS]
01:24:55
◼
►
exhaustive like you're just going by
[TS]
01:24:57
◼
►
their metrics and I bet they're picking
[TS]
01:24:58
◼
►
something pretty broad for example there
[TS]
01:25:01
◼
►
could be just one application that is
[TS]
01:25:02
◼
►
frequently used that they happen to
[TS]
01:25:03
◼
►
classify as pro that pulls up the
[TS]
01:25:05
◼
►
average everything else these are you
[TS]
01:25:07
◼
►
know we have no visibility duties the
[TS]
01:25:08
◼
►
Apple has all the information so I'm not
[TS]
01:25:10
◼
►
surprised that number it sounds about
[TS]
01:25:12
◼
►
what I would think they would because of
[TS]
01:25:13
◼
►
their very broad definition of pro
[TS]
01:25:15
◼
►
everything you defined like I don't
[TS]
01:25:16
◼
►
think that's brought but I'm gonna try
[TS]
01:25:18
◼
►
to think of like one other applications
[TS]
01:25:19
◼
►
they could throw in there there would be
[TS]
01:25:21
◼
►
like oh if you if you ever launched
[TS]
01:25:22
◼
►
terminal you count as a pro app you
[TS]
01:25:24
◼
►
could argue for that but there's
[TS]
01:25:25
◼
►
millions of people who are launching
[TS]
01:25:27
◼
►
terminal just so they can use their mac
[TS]
01:25:28
◼
►
desis a Shinto something to do something
[TS]
01:25:30
◼
►
and they're not using their makina
[TS]
01:25:32
◼
►
Procope asset it's it's a you know it's
[TS]
01:25:34
◼
►
a glass TTYL is we used to say back in
[TS]
01:25:36
◼
►
the day and that is not a pro use
[TS]
01:25:38
◼
►
because you can do that from the macbook
[TS]
01:25:40
◼
►
adorable and it works fine but if you
[TS]
01:25:43
◼
►
classify terminal as a pro app suddenly
[TS]
01:25:45
◼
►
that brings up your numbers play pro is
[TS]
01:25:47
◼
►
a state of mind oh my goodness alright
[TS]
01:25:53
◼
►
what else do we have to talk about with
[TS]
01:25:55
◼
►
regard to the mac pro well we can move
[TS]
01:25:56
◼
►

Xeon e3 it might as well not be as easy
[TS]
01:27:24
◼
►
on the Xeon e3 is only barely different
[TS]
01:27:29
◼
►
from the consumer chips the imac already
[TS]
01:27:32
◼
►
uses the only thing that we get you is
[TS]
01:27:35
◼
►
support for ECC ram that's pretty good
[TS]
01:27:37
◼
►
though that's so that that that is
[TS]
01:27:39
◼
►
something but and so like that i feel
[TS]
01:27:42
◼
►
like you know if if the imac pro which
[TS]
01:27:45
◼
►
you know i just assumed whenever we say
[TS]
01:27:47
◼
►
I'm night pro its and thinker quotes if
[TS]
01:27:50
◼
►
if the imac pro is something to handle
[TS]
01:27:55
◼
►
like you know heavy horsepower then
[TS]
01:27:57
◼
►
that's not gonna do it you know that
[TS]
01:27:58
◼
►
that's that's what the old imac already
[TS]
01:28:00
◼
►
has had if it's something to add check
[TS]
01:28:03
◼
►
marks to make pro stop complaining about
[TS]
01:28:05
◼
►
certain things it helps a little bit in
[TS]
01:28:07
◼
►
that area in this is in the sense that
[TS]
01:28:08
◼
►
it enables ECC ram but that's about it
[TS]
01:28:11
◼
►
and thunderbolt three and USBC like i'm
[TS]
01:28:13
◼
►
assuming it has a lot of pci express
[TS]
01:28:15
◼
►
lanes does i don't know i don't know i
[TS]
01:28:17
◼
►
don't think it has any more get you have
[TS]
01:28:18
◼
►
to go to the e5 series like they they're
[TS]
01:28:21
◼
►
i'm pretty sure has the same pci express
[TS]
01:28:23
◼
►
configuration as the regular i7 high-end
[TS]
01:28:25
◼
►
chips because it really is just an i7
[TS]
01:28:27
◼
►
with like ECC compatibility basically
[TS]
01:28:30
◼
►
there's there's there's really nothing
[TS]
01:28:33
◼
►
else to it that's that's literally all
[TS]
01:28:34
◼
►
it is it is a way you know the III line
[TS]
01:28:38
◼
►
it is mostly it mostly exists to make
[TS]
01:28:41
◼
►
cheap server options because it you know
[TS]
01:28:44
◼
►
servers almost always want to ECC and
[TS]
01:28:46
◼
►
you know server needs almost always use
[TS]
01:28:48
◼
►
that like in data centers and stuff and
[TS]
01:28:51
◼
►
it's a way to basically bring the
[TS]
01:28:52
◼
►
wonderful economy and power of the
[TS]
01:28:55
◼
►
consumer i7 line
[TS]
01:28:56
◼
►
into cheap 1u rackmount servers so it's
[TS]
01:29:00
◼
►
there's not really a huge benefit and
[TS]
01:29:03
◼
►
that's why I like remember like about
[TS]
01:29:05
◼
►
two years ago they started selling not
[TS]
01:29:07
◼
►
they not Apple but like the pc enter
[TS]
01:29:09
◼
►
start selling xeon laptops and that was
[TS]
01:29:13
◼
►
the same kind of thing it was it was
[TS]
01:29:14
◼
►
based it was like using this III line
[TS]
01:29:15
◼
►
where it's like yeah that's that's not
[TS]
01:29:17
◼
►
really anything more than what we had
[TS]
01:29:18
◼
►
before it's not really anything more
[TS]
01:29:20
◼
►
than the consumer line so that's same
[TS]
01:29:22
◼
►
thing here like it would enable ECC but
[TS]
01:29:25
◼
►
that would be the only advantage that it
[TS]
01:29:26
◼
►
would have over what we already have any
[TS]
01:29:28
◼
►
imac that being said it would also not
[TS]
01:29:31
◼
►
require any additional thermal head room
[TS]
01:29:33
◼
►
because it isn't a bigger chip it isn't
[TS]
01:29:36
◼
►
it doesn't have more cores it doesn't
[TS]
01:29:37
◼
►
have a higher tdv like you know it would
[TS]
01:29:40
◼
►
be very easy for apple to configure an
[TS]
01:29:42
◼
►
imac with an e3 so if the idea of the
[TS]
01:29:44
◼
►
imac pro is to do as little work as
[TS]
01:29:48
◼
►
possible and check off a few more boxes
[TS]
01:29:50
◼
►
for pros while changing almost nothing
[TS]
01:29:52
◼
►
about the imac then okay maybe but
[TS]
01:29:55
◼
►
that's probably not like that wouldn't
[TS]
01:29:58
◼
►
be a very compelling product for almost
[TS]
01:29:59
◼
►
anybody so i hope that isn't what
[TS]
01:30:01
◼
►
they're doing i hope they're doing more
[TS]
01:30:02
◼
►
than that well if it's the only one that
[TS]
01:30:05
◼
►
comes with Thunderbolt three in USBC
[TS]
01:30:06
◼
►
then something that becomes a lot more
[TS]
01:30:08
◼
►
attractive because it's not just people
[TS]
01:30:09
◼
►
who are looking for pro we're buying it
[TS]
01:30:10
◼
►
it's like anybody who wants basically a
[TS]
01:30:12
◼
►
modern 105 k imac would buy it's like
[TS]
01:30:14
◼
►
well if that's the only one that has all
[TS]
01:30:16
◼
►
the new ports on it I'll get it and if
[TS]
01:30:18
◼
►
they want that fancy new keyboard right
[TS]
01:30:19
◼
►
other other ancillary rumors attach this
[TS]
01:30:22
◼
►
and I keep seeing this and I haven't
[TS]
01:30:24
◼
►
traced this back to the origin to the
[TS]
01:30:25
◼
►
fantastical origin but the 8k display
[TS]
01:30:29
◼
►
apples working on an 8k display for the
[TS]
01:30:30
◼
►
next generation of macros 8k display has
[TS]
01:30:34
◼
►
been floating around for a long time is
[TS]
01:30:35
◼
►
that thing something that anyone is it
[TS]
01:30:38
◼
►
asking for will tell just shipped one
[TS]
01:30:41
◼
►
you see like Dell just shipped 145 grand
[TS]
01:30:43
◼
►
I know I know all right so yeah right
[TS]
01:30:45
◼
►
but my question is like you like it like
[TS]
01:30:47
◼
►
it does the size math work out to be
[TS]
01:30:49
◼
►
something reasonable like like how big
[TS]
01:30:51
◼
►
would it have to be to keep the current
[TS]
01:30:53
◼
►
DPI yeah like I think would have to be
[TS]
01:30:54
◼
►
like 40 inches would it would have to be
[TS]
01:30:56
◼
►
pretty big I i think you know we we
[TS]
01:30:59
◼
►
learned from past monitor things and
[TS]
01:31:01
◼
►
some some like current day ones where
[TS]
01:31:04
◼
►
you know like you have like that one LG
[TS]
01:31:06
◼
►
like super wide 35 inch or whatever
[TS]
01:31:09
◼
►
yep so like we've seen like kind of you
[TS]
01:31:12
◼
►
know rough idea of what these you know
[TS]
01:31:13
◼
►
what monitor sizes are and what works
[TS]
01:31:15
◼
►
and what doesn't we can we can probably
[TS]
01:31:17
◼
►
agree actually I'm curious John because
[TS]
01:31:20
◼
►
you're probably the contrarian here what
[TS]
01:31:23
◼
►
do you think is the largest you know
[TS]
01:31:25
◼
►
inch diagonal measurement that that a
[TS]
01:31:28
◼
►
single monitor could reasonably be for
[TS]
01:31:31
◼
►
practical desktop computer use where you
[TS]
01:31:34
◼
►
wouldn't have to sit so far back from it
[TS]
01:31:35
◼
►
that the resolution would be wasted so
[TS]
01:31:38
◼
►
my answer to that question would
[TS]
01:31:39
◼
►
probably be maybe like 32 inches maybe
[TS]
01:31:44
◼
►
at most 35 what do you think I would go
[TS]
01:31:48
◼
►
up to 42 because I know people who use
[TS]
01:31:50
◼
►
televisions as their monitors obviously
[TS]
01:31:52
◼
►
the resolution is horrendous right but
[TS]
01:31:54
◼
►
they're using like actual televisions as
[TS]
01:31:56
◼
►
their monitors because they can get to
[TS]
01:31:57
◼
►
me really big sizes and why because if
[TS]
01:31:59
◼
►
you have any kind of vision impairment
[TS]
01:32:01
◼
►
you can't buy a computer monitor that
[TS]
01:32:03
◼
►
makes things as big as you want that
[TS]
01:32:05
◼
►
doesn't make it look like you're looking
[TS]
01:32:06
◼
►
through a tiny little portal so they
[TS]
01:32:08
◼
►
will get a 42 inch television and putted
[TS]
01:32:10
◼
►
it like a resolution that we would run a
[TS]
01:32:13
◼
►
23 inch display at and keep it like
[TS]
01:32:16
◼
►
normal computer distance from them and
[TS]
01:32:17
◼
►
just let them see things better so I
[TS]
01:32:18
◼
►
think it's actually surprising
[TS]
01:32:20
◼
►
surprisingly big but but that wouldn't
[TS]
01:32:22
◼
►
be a use case for 8k though ak is
[TS]
01:32:24
◼
►
talking about like right now you but you
[TS]
01:32:25
◼
►
just asked about the inch sizes right
[TS]
01:32:27
◼
►
now in case specifically the reason the
[TS]
01:32:28
◼
►
reason I'm skeptical the 8k thing is not
[TS]
01:32:30
◼
►
because I think 8k is not a thing right
[TS]
01:32:32
◼
►
but just when I envision Apple making a
[TS]
01:32:34
◼
►
monitor for its Mac Pro I envisioned 8k
[TS]
01:32:37
◼
►
as a thing that only people who are
[TS]
01:32:39
◼
►
working like at ILM yet so they can look
[TS]
01:32:41
◼
►
at their 8k video you know composites or
[TS]
01:32:43
◼
►
whatever like that you know people who
[TS]
01:32:44
◼
►
are working with source material shot an
[TS]
01:32:46
◼
►
8k but traditionally Apple has left that
[TS]
01:32:49
◼
►
market to like the super duper high end
[TS]
01:32:52
◼
►
color calibrated weird monitors with
[TS]
01:32:55
◼
►
hoods over them and like like that type
[TS]
01:32:57
◼
►
of thing Apple has never sold one of
[TS]
01:32:58
◼
►
those they've always sold a really good
[TS]
01:33:01
◼
►
monitor for regular people it has great
[TS]
01:33:02
◼
►
color calibration but always during the
[TS]
01:33:04
◼
►
entire history of Apple if you go into a
[TS]
01:33:06
◼
►
very fancy place that even just does
[TS]
01:33:08
◼
►
stuff with Photoshop or with special
[TS]
01:33:10
◼
►
effects or whatever you will see one of
[TS]
01:33:12
◼
►
those really weird i don't think any
[TS]
01:33:13
◼
►
seam makes a bunch of them or you know
[TS]
01:33:14
◼
►
one of those really weird monitors just
[TS]
01:33:17
◼
►
for this specific industry and right now
[TS]
01:33:20
◼
►
I feel like 8k is in that category the
[TS]
01:33:22
◼
►
only people who knew
[TS]
01:33:23
◼
►
k our people who are shooting 8k footage
[TS]
01:33:25
◼
►
who want to see it displayed in 8k so
[TS]
01:33:28
◼
►
you want it k monitor but like I'm not
[TS]
01:33:31
◼
►
going to be sad if Apple makes one I
[TS]
01:33:32
◼
►
think it'll be awesome but that seems
[TS]
01:33:34
◼
►
such like such a narrow thing that Apple
[TS]
01:33:37
◼
►
is going to go from we're not making a
[TS]
01:33:38
◼
►
matter at all to guess what i'm making
[TS]
01:33:40
◼
►
an 8k one and to get back to where you
[TS]
01:33:41
◼
►
were saying Marco if they do make an 8k
[TS]
01:33:43
◼
►
one I hope it's not the only one because
[TS]
01:33:46
◼
►
i really don't i personally don't
[TS]
01:33:49
◼
►
actually want a 40 inch monitor and I
[TS]
01:33:51
◼
►
think 8k at 27 or 30 inches is overkill
[TS]
01:33:54
◼
►
for my needs so if they only make an 8k
[TS]
01:33:56
◼
►
monitor it's going to be super expensive
[TS]
01:33:58
◼
►
and be oh god I probably actually buy it
[TS]
01:34:01
◼
►
too would not like oh you would it's not
[TS]
01:34:05
◼
►
it's not what I want out of modern I'm
[TS]
01:34:06
◼
►
thinking they're going to make a 5k
[TS]
01:34:08
◼
►
display because I think 5k is in the
[TS]
01:34:09
◼
►
spot where Apple usually makes monitors
[TS]
01:34:11
◼
►
and they leave a k2 Dell and NEC and
[TS]
01:34:14
◼
►
viewsonic and whoever else is making
[TS]
01:34:16
◼
►
these monitors for for professional
[TS]
01:34:18
◼
►
things that you can already buy today
[TS]
01:34:20
◼
►
but we'll see the 8k rumor won't die
[TS]
01:34:23
◼
►
anything else on the mac pro kids
[TS]
01:34:26
◼
►
there's always said you why do you even
[TS]
01:34:28
◼
►
keep asking that you know if you just
[TS]
01:34:29
◼
►
stopped asking that and just moved on
[TS]
01:34:31
◼
►
you would like catch us off guard no
[TS]
01:34:34
◼
►
because that there's more unfortunately
[TS]
01:34:35
◼
►
perkasie two related stories that were
[TS]
01:34:39
◼
►
in the notes last week or what least one
[TS]
01:34:41
◼
►
of them was and we didn't get to it that
[TS]
01:34:43
◼
►
may or may not be related the more
[TS]
01:34:45
◼
►
recent one is Nvidia's announcement that
[TS]
01:34:48
◼
►
their new graphics cards have mac
[TS]
01:34:51
◼
►
support and you're like what what do you
[TS]
01:34:54
◼
►
mean by that there are no max with card
[TS]
01:34:56
◼
►
slots what are you talking about how can
[TS]
01:34:58
◼
►
you have mac support but it's like oh
[TS]
01:35:00
◼
►
yeah all those cheese graters yeah you
[TS]
01:35:02
◼
►
can put these things in there so Nvidia
[TS]
01:35:04
◼
►
is offering drivers for its Pascal based
[TS]
01:35:08
◼
►
GPUs that's their latest architecture of
[TS]
01:35:09
◼
►
GPUs and this is the the titan nvidia
[TS]
01:35:12
◼
►
titan XP as their product they are
[TS]
01:35:13
◼
►
launching but the drivers they're making
[TS]
01:35:15
◼
►
will work with any pascal based GPU
[TS]
01:35:17
◼
►
apparently on the mac and why would they
[TS]
01:35:20
◼
►
do that I mean people will choose
[TS]
01:35:23
◼
►
graders can buy them and you know or
[TS]
01:35:25
◼
►
people with hackintosh is right we want
[TS]
01:35:27
◼
►
to run mac OS and do all this stuff and
[TS]
01:35:29
◼
►
Apple didn't ship drivers for this
[TS]
01:35:32
◼
►
because they don't ship any machines
[TS]
01:35:34
◼
►
with Pascal GP using them as far
[TS]
01:35:35
◼
►
I'm aware like it do they have a Pascal
[TS]
01:35:37
◼
►
base 11 of the portables I forget maybe
[TS]
01:35:39
◼
►
the chat room people tell me but anyway
[TS]
01:35:40
◼
►
I don't think Apple ships nvidia
[TS]
01:35:42
◼
►
anything right now apple an apple an
[TS]
01:35:44
◼
►
nvidia had seemed to have some kind of
[TS]
01:35:46
◼
►
major fallout and they I think they ship
[TS]
01:35:48
◼
►
ati stuff or AMD stuff now everywhere
[TS]
01:35:51
◼
►
which is kind of a problem like you know
[TS]
01:35:53
◼
►
we we keep hearing I don't want to see
[TS]
01:35:56
◼
►
what you're going to say if you're gross
[TS]
01:35:56
◼
►
sales but we keep hearing from people
[TS]
01:35:58
◼
►
who know this stuff that like really
[TS]
01:36:01
◼
►
NVIDIA has has kicked AMD's butt so hard
[TS]
01:36:03
◼

and GPUs and things like GPUs like those
[TS]
01:36:06
◼

like parallel computing cards recently
[TS]
01:36:08
◼

that Apple really really apparently if
[TS]
01:36:13
◼

they want to be competitive in these
[TS]
01:36:14
◼

high-end GPU areas they should really

consider going back to Nvidia and it
[TS]
01:36:20
◼

seems like for for whatever reason
[TS]
01:36:22
◼
►
possibly some kind of weird like
[TS]
01:36:24
◼
►
business disagreement or history they
[TS]
01:36:26
◼
►
have been unwilling to do that so far
[TS]
01:36:28
◼
►
but maybe they should reconsider now
[TS]
01:36:30
◼
►
they're try to address pros better so
[TS]
01:36:33
◼
►
that balance of power between AMD and
[TS]
01:36:35
◼
►
NVIDIA it has swung around it's not like
[TS]
01:36:37
◼
►
Intel and AMD where Intel just dominated
[TS]
01:36:40
◼
►
it has come back from the bruising of
[TS]
01:36:43
◼
►
the athlon age as we discussed in a past
[TS]
01:36:45
◼
►
show has just dominated for a long time
[TS]
01:36:47
◼

and like rising is just like the the
[TS]
01:36:49
◼
►
turn around possibly now but AMD Nvidia
[TS]
01:36:52
◼
►
have traded the lead many times and
[TS]
01:36:54
◼
►
specifically for apples purposes not
[TS]
01:36:58
◼
►
talking about the highest the high end
[TS]
01:36:59
◼

which Apple has been ignoring anyway
[TS]
01:37:01
◼
►
very often the ati or AMD part actually
[TS]
01:37:03
◼
►
is the right choice for specific things
[TS]
01:37:06
◼

but if your concern is i want the best
[TS]
01:37:10
◼

performance in a given thermal envelope
[TS]
01:37:12
◼
►
or whatever and that thermal envelope
[TS]
01:37:14
◼
►
isn't really really low nvidia is
[TS]
01:37:16
◼
►
currently the leader that could change
[TS]
01:37:19
◼
►
with the next generation of GPUs but
[TS]
01:37:22
◼
►
either way Apple has nothing in any of
[TS]
01:37:25
◼
►
its product and hasn't for many many
[TS]
01:37:26
◼
►
years that could be considered a
[TS]
01:37:28
◼
►
high-end GPU none just they don't they
[TS]
01:37:30
◼
►
don't sell them they didn't even when
[TS]
01:37:32
◼
►
the 2013 trashcan Mac Pro was brand new
[TS]
01:37:35
◼
►
the day it was released today was
[TS]
01:37:38
◼
►
announced for that matter you could buy
[TS]
01:37:40
◼
►
faster cards and put the new pcs single
[TS]
01:37:42
◼
►
cards double cards everything I'm pretty
[TS]
01:37:44
◼
►
sure like the last time they had
[TS]
01:37:46
◼
►
competitive GPUs was when
[TS]
01:37:49
◼
►
you and at the time i bought the 2008
[TS]
01:37:51
◼
►
mac pro and you could for two hundred
[TS]
01:37:54
◼
►
dollars get an nvidia 8800 GT and at the
[TS]
01:37:57
◼
►
time that was like an upper mid-range
[TS]
01:37:58
◼
►
card and we're like oh that's Brett's a
[TS]
01:38:00
◼
►
nice option thanks yeah it was it was a
[TS]
01:38:02
◼
►
decent car long time ago yeah and always
[TS]
01:38:04
◼
►
there has been there have been
[TS]
01:38:06
◼
►
third-party people like buying pc cards
[TS]
01:38:08
◼
►
and flashing the firmware and stuff and
[TS]
01:38:09
◼
►
it was just a matter of like does apple
[TS]
01:38:11
◼
►
support this GPU architecture because if
[TS]
01:38:12
◼
►
they supported it sometimes the drivers
[TS]
01:38:14
◼
►
would work with the higher end cards
[TS]
01:38:15
◼
►
that were just overclocked or just had
[TS]
01:38:16
◼
►
more vram and stuff like that and so
[TS]
01:38:18
◼
►
this announcement by nvidia has a lot of
[TS]
01:38:21
◼
►
people thinking maybe maybe the new pack
[TS]
01:38:23
◼
►
that apple just admitted they were
[TS]
01:38:25
◼
►
creating like three days ago maybe it's
[TS]
01:38:27
◼
►
going to use pascal base GPUs and and
[TS]
01:38:29
◼
►
you know what that would be awesome and
[TS]
01:38:31
◼
►
i hope it does because they're really
[TS]
01:38:33
◼
►
good right but i can't draw any kind of
[TS]
01:38:36
◼
►
same connecting line between nvidia
[TS]
01:38:38
◼
►
supporting max with its current crop of
[TS]
01:38:42
◼
►
lines and anything that Apple's going to
[TS]
01:38:44
◼
►
do by its as-yet-unknown to anybody
[TS]
01:38:46
◼
►
outside Apple Mac Pro project so I can't
[TS]
01:38:51
◼
►
connect those lines but I really
[TS]
01:38:52
◼
►
sincerely do hope that an option on the
[TS]
01:38:56
◼
►
new Mac Pro is the highest of high end
[TS]
01:38:58
◼
►
video cards from Nvidia because that
[TS]
01:39:01
◼
►
would be awesome and they kept talking
[TS]
01:39:03
◼
►
about how people want a single really
[TS]
01:39:05
◼
►
fast GPU and this is sing a really fast
[TS]
01:39:07
◼
►
EPO for all we know Apple could have
[TS]
01:39:09
◼
►
made a deal with NVIDIA for them to
[TS]
01:39:10
◼
►
develop these drivers because like
[TS]
01:39:12
◼
►
that's that's the only line i can draw
[TS]
01:39:13
◼
►
is like why the heck is envy doing this
[TS]
01:39:14
◼
►
are they so desperate for money that
[TS]
01:39:15
◼
►
they want the seven people who have hack
[TS]
01:39:17
◼
►
and dodges to buy this card and put it
[TS]
01:39:18
◼
►
in right like what why because making
[TS]
01:39:22
◼
►
drivers for making mac drivers for a
[TS]
01:39:25
◼
►
video card is non-trivial it's it's a
[TS]
01:39:28
◼
►
difficult thing to do working with
[TS]
01:39:30
◼
►
apples you know driver stack so
[TS]
01:39:32
◼
►
different from windows and for what
[TS]
01:39:34
◼
►
benefit so maybe there was some kind of
[TS]
01:39:37
◼
►
agreement or money changing hands to
[TS]
01:39:39
◼
►
have nvidia do this sometime in the
[TS]
01:39:42
◼
►
past-- and they're just like well while
[TS]
01:39:44
◼
►
we wait to be in the new mac pro will
[TS]
01:39:45
◼
►
sell this to people or whatever i don't
[TS]
01:39:48
◼
►
know but anyway i'm excited about this
[TS]
01:39:49
◼
►
people who have cheese graters who are
[TS]
01:39:51
◼
►
more that are more modern than mine that
[TS]
01:39:53
◼
►
actually run this i believe i can't run
[TS]
01:39:54
◼
►
this in mind because i think it requires
[TS]
01:39:55
◼
►
more pieces you can even run sierra you
[TS]
01:39:59
◼
►
know yeah I can hear it anyway this
[TS]
01:40:02
◼
►
seems like an X
[TS]
01:40:03
◼
►
announcement for a very small group of
[TS]
01:40:04
◼
►
mech nerds I'm excited by the prospect
[TS]
01:40:06
◼
►
of a very super high-end GPU and if
[TS]
01:40:09
◼
►
you're dramatic pro but for now I can't
[TS]
01:40:13
◼
►
I can't connect the dots on this to say
[TS]
01:40:15
◼
►
that this means anything about what what
[TS]
01:40:17
◼
►
GPU the next Mac Pro is going to have
[TS]
01:40:18
◼
►
and related to this is the older story
[TS]
01:40:22
◼
►
which is about apple moving away from
[TS]
01:40:25
◼
►
imagination the power be our power VR
[TS]
01:40:29
◼
►
GPUs that it uses in all of its iOS
[TS]
01:40:31
◼
►
products for many many years speaking of
[TS]
01:40:33
◼
►
of GPUs Apple's GPUs in its iOS devices
[TS]
01:40:36
◼
►
have been awesome they have been
[TS]
01:40:39
◼
►
amazingly good they always show that
[TS]
01:40:41
◼
►
graph that shows look how crappier GPUs
[TS]
01:40:43
◼
►
were in the beginning of the of the iOS
[TS]
01:40:45
◼
►
devices before we even called it iOS and
[TS]
01:40:47
◼
►
look at this curve every time we come up
[TS]
01:40:50
◼
►
with the new product the GP was like
[TS]
01:40:51
◼
►
super duper faster it's like it's not
[TS]
01:40:53
◼
►
linear it's like going up like a hockey
[TS]
01:40:55
◼
►
stick if we are kicking butt on GPUs and
[TS]
01:40:57
◼
►
look what we can do with these games and
[TS]
01:40:58
◼
►
you know and it's true they have been
[TS]
01:41:01
◼
►
doing a really good job with the GPUs
[TS]
01:41:02
◼
►
and for I think for the entire life of
[TS]
01:41:05
◼
►
iOS devices they have been using power
[TS]
01:41:09
◼
►
vr base GPUs with intellectual property
[TS]
01:41:12
◼
►
license from imagination technology and
[TS]
01:41:14
◼
►
imagination technology put out this
[TS]
01:41:18
◼
►
press release is very sad angry press
[TS]
01:41:20
◼
►
release that's like Apple tells us
[TS]
01:41:23
◼
►
they're not going to be using our
[TS]
01:41:24
◼
►
intellectual property anymore and Apple
[TS]
01:41:27
◼
►
by the way is like more than fifty
[TS]
01:41:28
◼
►
percent of our revenue but we think
[TS]
01:41:30
◼
►
basically it's impossible to make a
[TS]
01:41:33
◼
►
modern GPU without infringing our
[TS]
01:41:35
◼
►
intellectual property which by the way
[TS]
01:41:36
◼
►
is another reason the patent system is
[TS]
01:41:38
◼
►
ridiculous I like little biz Apple no is
[TS]
01:41:40
◼
►
literally impossible to make a modern
[TS]
01:41:42
◼
►
GPU without our intellectual property
[TS]
01:41:43
◼
►
right so we own these ideas forevermore
[TS]
01:41:47
◼
►
or like whatever the ridiculous term
[TS]
01:41:49
◼
►
limit is on patents but Joanne patents
[TS]
01:41:53
◼
►
are to foster innovation without patents
[TS]
01:41:56
◼
►
nobody would innovate no one would ever
[TS]
01:41:58
◼
►
be able to make a GP without these ideas
[TS]
01:42:00
◼
►
that are not obvious to everybody who is
[TS]
01:42:02
◼
►
what is it obvious to people verse the
[TS]
01:42:05
◼
►
well versed in the art anyway I hate
[TS]
01:42:06
◼
►
patents but but apple says there they
[TS]
01:42:10
◼
►
are not licensing this technology which
[TS]
01:42:12
◼
►
means that Apple is going to make GPUs
[TS]
01:42:14
◼
►
for its iOS devices presumably
[TS]
01:42:16
◼
►
or when you know whatever they do
[TS]
01:42:18
◼
►
they're not going to make GPUs or
[TS]
01:42:19
◼
►
they're going to make GPUs license from
[TS]
01:42:21
◼
►
somebody else or they're going to make
[TS]
01:42:22
◼
►
their own Apple has as Phil Schiller
[TS]
01:42:25
◼
►
points out or one of the people points
[TS]
01:42:26
◼
►
out one of the best chip design groups
[TS]
01:42:29
◼
►
in the world arguably the best going
[TS]
01:42:31
◼
►
based on how good their system-on-chips
[TS]
01:42:33
◼
►
are for their devices and like have you
[TS]
01:42:35
◼
►
seen like have you seen liked hit the
[TS]
01:42:36
◼
►
benchmarks of the new samsung s 80 River
[TS]
01:42:39
◼
►
it's like it matches the performance of
[TS]
01:42:41
◼
►
like the iphone 6s like two generations
[TS]
01:42:43
◼
►
behind and yeah their apple is doing
[TS]
01:42:46
◼
►
amazing like they're making these chips
[TS]
01:42:48
◼
►
themselves yes its arm its arm based
[TS]
01:42:50
◼
►
technology and they have that license
[TS]
01:42:51
◼
►
from arm to use the instruction set and
[TS]
01:42:53
◼
►
all that other stuff or whatever and yes
[TS]
01:42:54
◼
►
their licensing GPU stuff from power boo
[TS]
01:42:57
◼
►
yarbrough but Apple make no mistake
[TS]
01:42:59
◼
►
Apple is designing these things ever
[TS]
01:43:00
◼
►
since the the confusingly named swift
[TS]
01:43:02
◼
►
CPU actually it was the first one that
[TS]
01:43:04
◼
►
they really like did themselves from
[TS]
01:43:06
◼
►
scratch as the iphone 5 right yeah
[TS]
01:43:08
◼
►
they're they're doing amazing so I have
[TS]
01:43:11
◼
►
zero doubt that if Apple wanted to they
[TS]
01:43:13
◼
►
have the in-house expertise to make an
[TS]
01:43:15
◼
►
amazing GPU for the next iPhone whether
[TS]
01:43:18
◼
►
or not infringed on patents who the hell
[TS]
01:43:20
◼
►
knows what the lawyers fight it out if
[TS]
01:43:21
◼
►
the camels going to win that one because
[TS]
01:43:22
◼
►
they have more money and that's how our
[TS]
01:43:23
◼
►
legal system works like you know what if
[TS]
01:43:27
◼
►
you imagination we're going to buy your
[TS]
01:43:28
◼
►
company done and done we win and that's
[TS]
01:43:32
◼
►
and that's their worst case scenario so
[TS]
01:43:34
◼
►
Apple will not lose this or they could
[TS]
01:43:39
◼
►
be licensing someone else's think but
[TS]
01:43:41
◼
►
combining the new Mac Pro rumor which
[TS]
01:43:43
◼
►
now it affects everything but that is
[TS]
01:43:46
◼
►
discussed at surrounding the Mac it's
[TS]
01:43:48
◼
►
like does this mean Apple is going to
[TS]
01:43:49
◼
►
make their own GPUs for the new Mac Pro
[TS]
01:43:51
◼
►
and while I think that would be amazing
[TS]
01:43:54
◼
►
and fantastical i'm going to say Noah
[TS]
01:43:56
◼
►
yeah that makes no sense because because
[TS]
01:43:59
◼
►
Apple already doesn't like the ROI on
[TS]
01:44:02
◼
►
the Mac Pro reportedly and and in fact
[TS]
01:44:05
◼
►
they seem to not like it so much they
[TS]
01:44:07
◼
►
didn't even make one they just barely
[TS]
01:44:08
◼
►
decided to make one the if Apple is
[TS]
01:44:11
◼
►
making a GPU architecture they're making
[TS]
01:44:13
◼
►
it for iOS devices and I have a hard
[TS]
01:44:16
◼
►
time believing that the GPU design could
[TS]
01:44:19
◼
►
even be adapted from iOS devices to
[TS]
01:44:23
◼
►
something like the new mac pro so I'm
[TS]
01:44:25
◼
►
thinking the new Mac Pro will not have a
[TS]
01:44:27
◼
►
GPU of Apple's own design
[TS]
01:44:29
◼
►
I'm hoping it will have a super I an
[TS]
01:44:32
◼
►
NVIDIA GPU or at least the the best
[TS]
01:44:34
◼
►
whatever the best architecture is that
[TS]
01:44:36
◼
►
AMD has Africa what this is called is it
[TS]
01:44:38
◼
►
Maxwell and I remember maybe that's
[TS]
01:44:40
◼
►
another end video on and I don't think
[TS]
01:44:44
◼
►
the the imagination rumor is connected
[TS]
01:44:46
◼
►
to the mac pro either it does make me
[TS]
01:44:47
◼
►
kind of excited about what the next
[TS]
01:44:49
◼
►
iPhone you know and the GPUs are going
[TS]
01:44:52
◼
►
to look like they're because like
[TS]
01:44:53
◼
►
presumably Apple is ditching imagination
[TS]
01:44:57
◼
►
for some benefit and I don't think the
[TS]
01:44:59
◼
►
benefit is the relatively piddling
[TS]
01:45:02
◼
►
amount of money they pay it's like only
[TS]
01:45:03
◼
►
so only 75 million dollars a year which
[TS]
01:45:06
◼
►
is a lot of money to imagination
[TS]
01:45:07
◼
►
technologies apparently is like you know
[TS]
01:45:08
◼
►
the Apple is their biggest customer it's
[TS]
01:45:10
◼
►
like more than half of their revenue but
[TS]
01:45:12
◼
►
Apple sneezes in 75 million dollars
[TS]
01:45:14
◼
►
comes out and falls on the carpet like I
[TS]
01:45:15
◼
►
thought that's how much they got so much
[TS]
01:45:16
◼
►
they they spend for snacks at the the
[TS]
01:45:19
◼
►
defunct Apple car project right yeah so
[TS]
01:45:25
◼
►
I think they wanted to do it for the
[TS]
01:45:27
◼
►
same reason they do or they want I want

blah blah blah and I bet they have some

good ideas about you know that that chip
[TS]

team is like we have some good ideas

about how to do a GPU in ways that are
[TS]

are there our own our own ideas why
[TS]
01:45:43

don't we do it why do we need this
[TS]
01:45:44

imagination technology stuff anymore we
[TS]

have all the expertise in-house to make
[TS]

an amazing GPU ourselves we don't need

them anymore it will free us up to do

what we want now there's a couple of

good articles about this is saying all
[TS]
01:45:54

right so Apple could do this but there
[TS]

is an entire software ecosystem built up

around the power of the architecture

that take advantage of features of the

really low level type of stuff like

things that perform particularly well on

a particular chip with a particular set

of the time especially as you get up

towards the high end if Apple makes a

new GPU that has very different

any of these weird power vr specific
[TS]

extensions that are there are things

that game developers can use or could

have used in the past that may be a
[TS]
01:46:40
◼

problem for iOS game compatibility
[TS]
01:46:43
◼

like metal may help with this because
[TS]
01:46:46
◼

presumably metal provides I mean it's
[TS]
01:46:49
◼

it's less of an abstraction layer than
[TS]
01:46:51
◼

OpenGL but it's more than like writing
[TS]
01:46:54
◼

against the you know the bare metal of
[TS]
01:46:56
◼

the GPU so there could be troubled
[TS]
01:46:59
◼

waters at for iOS game performance but I
[TS]
01:47:02
◼

have faith that Apple knows about all
[TS]
01:47:04
◼

these issues and will have software
[TS]
01:47:06
◼
►
based solutions and because their new
[TS]
01:47:07
◼
►
GPU will be so much faster than the old
[TS]
01:47:09
◼
►
ones games tuned for the power via our
[TS]
01:47:11
◼
►
performance specifics they'll get by on
[TS]
01:47:13
◼
►
the know in just because it's it's so
[TS]
01:47:14
◼
►
much faster so this this development
[TS]
01:47:17
◼
►
this sort of corporate divorce divorce
[TS]
01:47:19
◼
►
makes me excited to see what what the
[TS]
01:47:22
◼
►
next GPU will be like and I assume it's
[TS]
01:47:25
◼
►
like the not this year's one but next
[TS]
01:47:27
◼
►
year's like might as well find out this
[TS]
01:47:29
◼
►
soon as the iphone 8 or whatever they're
[TS]
01:47:30
◼
►
going to call it comes out and someone
[TS]
01:47:31
◼
►
checks it out and see it sees if it has
[TS]
01:47:33
◼
►
a power via our base to GPU in there but
[TS]
01:47:36
◼
►
i'm kind of excited about that but i
[TS]
01:47:38
◼
►
don't think it's related to the mac pro
[TS]
01:47:40
◼
►
yeah i agree completely there's no way
[TS]
01:47:43
◼
►
that is connected to the mac pro the
[TS]
01:47:45
◼
►
timing is a coincidence yeah there's no
[TS]
01:47:47
◼
►
way i also think you know with with the
[TS]
01:47:49
◼
►
with the idea of like you know changing
[TS]
01:47:51
◼
►
it and being a problem for games i don't
[TS]
01:47:54
◼
►
think it's that big of a deal because
[TS]
01:47:56
◼
►
there aren't that many people writing
[TS]
01:47:59
◼
►
high-performance low-level game engines
[TS]
01:48:01
◼
►
at that you know at that level on for
[TS]
01:48:04
◼
►
iOS or for anything really you know
[TS]
01:48:06
◼
►
there's not a lot of original low-level
[TS]
01:48:08
◼
►
game engines being written at any given
[TS]
01:48:10
◼
►
time you know most games that come at
[TS]
01:48:12
◼
►
are using someone else's engine so it's
[TS]
01:48:16
◼
►
it's a relatively small number of like
[TS]
01:48:19
◼
►
engine providers and authors that will
[TS]
01:48:21
◼
►
need to adapt to any changes like this
[TS]
01:48:23
◼
►
anyway and the fact is enough I phones
[TS]
01:48:27
◼
►
are sold that if the new iPhones from
[TS]
01:48:30
◼
►
this point forward have this
[TS]
01:48:31
◼
►
architecture every mobile game developer
[TS]
01:48:34
◼
►
is going to demand support for that and
[TS]
01:48:36
◼
►
so the engine makers are going to do it
[TS]
01:48:38
◼
►
so it it's really not an issue like
[TS]
01:48:41
◼
►
that's that's not going to be a problem
[TS]
01:48:42
◼
►
at all yeah it's still it's still better
[TS]
01:48:45
◼
►
at same thing on game columns like
[TS]
01:48:46
◼
►
consoles these days we're like game
[TS]
01:48:48
◼
►
consoles will feel free to rev their
[TS]
01:48:50
◼
►
hardware and then
[TS]
01:48:51
◼
►
console game developers just deal with
[TS]
01:48:53
◼
►
it like when the PSP s4 pro comes out or
[TS]
01:48:56
◼
►
the Scorpio like this lik well the
[TS]
01:48:58
◼
►
hardware changed in a way that we have
[TS]
01:49:00
◼
►
never optimized for but then again also
[TS]
01:49:02
◼
►
the hardware is faster as this new GPU
[TS]
01:49:03
◼
►
will faster as well and they figure it
[TS]
01:49:05
◼
►
out because that's how you make as how
[TS]
01:49:07
◼
►
you make the money how you sell the
[TS]
01:49:09
◼
►
games thanks for our three sponsors this
[TS]
01:49:12
◼
►
week Squarespace audible and fracture we
[TS]
01:49:15
◼
►
will see you next week now the show is
[TS]
01:49:21
◼
►
over they didn't even mean to begin cuz
[TS]
01:49:25
◼
►
it was accidental oh it was accidental
[TS]
01:49:28
◼
►
John didn't do any research Marco and
[TS]
01:49:33
◼

Casey wouldn't let him cuz it was
[TS]
01:49:36
◼
►
accidental it was accidental and you can
[TS]
01:49:41
◼
►
find the show notes at ATP FM and if
[TS]
01:49:46
◼
►
you're into twitter you can follow them
[TS]
01:49:50
◼

at cas Eyl ISS so that's Casey list ma

USA Syracuse
[TS]
01:50:18
◼
►
ah so once i went back and listened to
[TS]
01:50:21
◼
►
the tape last time it certainly does
[TS]
01:50:23
◼
►
appear that i'm going to win the bet in
[TS]
01:50:24
◼
►
all likelihood because I never I never
[TS]
01:50:27
◼
►
bet on it being unmodified I just said
[TS]
01:50:29
◼
►
if the 2013 Mac Pro is still for sale on
[TS]
01:50:31
◼
►
january first that's gonna make someone
[TS]
01:50:35
◼
►
did provide a link that i actually
[TS]
01:50:37
◼
►
removed from follow up that was like see
[TS]
01:50:39
◼
►
look they didn't change the name of it
[TS]
01:50:40
◼
►
and they gave me a link to the page that
[TS]
01:50:42
◼
►
talks about the 2013 but i couldn't find
[TS]
01:50:44
◼
►
anything on the page that said that it
[TS]
01:50:46
◼
►
wasn't just like a page hadn't yet been
[TS]
01:50:47
◼
►
updated like nothing about it indicated
[TS]
01:50:49
◼
►
that that page was aware that they did
[TS]
01:50:51
◼
►
the reconfiguration thing but anyway I
[TS]
01:50:53
◼
►
everything that I've seen indicates to
[TS]
01:50:56
◼
►
me that this is just a price drop and a
[TS]
01:50:59
◼
►
model elimination and everything about
[TS]
01:51:01
◼
►
them will be exactly the same including
[TS]
01:51:04
◼
►
the name and the model number and so no
[TS]
01:51:06
◼
►
even on the strictest possible
[TS]
01:51:08
◼
►
definition they could still be for sale
[TS]
01:51:10
◼
►
yeah so I won't do clear victory until
[TS]
01:51:12
◼
►
January first but I am confident that
[TS]
01:51:14
◼
►
i'm most likely to win this you should
[TS]
01:51:17
◼
►
just start scrounging for money in your
[TS]
01:51:18
◼
►
couch kch day if you find any change
[TS]
01:51:20
◼
►
there a little jar and by the end of the
[TS]
01:51:23
◼
►
air you'll have five dollars now
[TS]
01:51:24
◼
►
remember I found five dollars at the end
[TS]
01:51:26
◼
►
of last week's story so we're going and
[TS]
01:51:32
◼
►
some well we don't worry at some point
[TS]
01:51:33
◼
►
we're going to talk about something else
[TS]
01:51:34
◼
►
just that time is not today I'm
[TS]
01:51:37
◼
►
skeptical it's probably not until 2018
[TS]
01:51:41
◼
►
actually no and then in 2018 it'll be Oh
[TS]
01:51:44
◼
►
where's the mac pro where's the mac pro
[TS]
01:51:46
◼
►
where's the macro it's not here where's
[TS]
01:51:48
◼
►
Mac Pro it's not here why isn't it here
[TS]
01:51:50
◼
►
Apple is doomed where's the mac pro it's
[TS]
01:51:52
◼
►
not here they already said it didn't
[TS]
01:51:54
◼
►
even say was gonna come in 2018 so we're
[TS]
01:51:56
◼
►
already we're already saying it might
[TS]
01:51:58
◼
►
not be here to play 19 so our
[TS]
01:51:59
◼
►
expectations are appropriately set will
[TS]
01:52:01
◼
►
be like that's gonna stop you too they
[TS]
01:52:04
◼
►
totally like this I seriously though
[TS]
01:52:06
◼
►
this announcement that they're doing
[TS]
01:52:08
◼
►
this thing gets rid of a lot of anxiety
[TS]
01:52:12
◼
►
it's like it's just a matter of what we
[TS]
01:52:13
◼
►
used to before say it's just a matter of
[TS]
01:52:15
◼
►
when but we didn't know now we know they
[TS]
01:52:17
◼
►
put a stake in the ground they said
[TS]
01:52:19
◼
►
words they made promises they're going
[TS]
01:52:20
◼
►
to keep them like it's gonna happen it's
[TS]
01:52:22
◼
►
gonna happen for us I know it mmm then
[TS]
01:52:26
◼
►
we can plan what they release that's
[TS]
01:52:27
◼
►
where the good stuff is after they
[TS]
01:52:29
◼
►
release something or announce it
[TS]
01:52:30
◼
►
everything in between to like
[TS]
01:52:32
◼
►
if they preview it at you know a fall
[TS]
01:52:34
◼
►
event or WTC or whatever else then we
[TS]
01:52:37
◼
►
can nitpick the preview to death that
[TS]
01:52:39
◼
►
that's at least two episodes yep then we
[TS]
01:52:41
◼
►
can say like they said they were gonna
[TS]
01:52:43
◼
►
make the parts upgradeable but
[TS]
01:52:44
◼
►
everything is soldered to this
[TS]
01:52:45
◼
►
motherboard what were they thinking that
[TS]
01:52:46
◼
►
they just mean that they're gonna create
[TS]
01:52:48
◼
►
an a they won't even upgrade it if
[TS]
01:52:49
◼
►
everything is soldered on yeah well have
[TS]
01:52:52
◼
►
fun there but but now they said so many
[TS]
01:52:54
◼
►
of the right things is just that this
[TS]
01:52:56
◼
►
this is going to be a long honeymoon
[TS]
01:52:57
◼
►
period for me to just imagine how
[TS]
01:52:59
◼
►
awesomeness things going to be and then
[TS]
01:53:01
◼
►
a three-year-long just tirade about how
[TS]
01:53:06
◼
►
it doesn't meet your every expectation
[TS]
01:53:07
◼
►
I'm still even considering buying the
[TS]
01:53:11
◼
►
imac pro like in addition to the mat
[TS]
01:53:14
◼
►
just has been so long so they bought a
[TS]
01:53:16
◼
►
mac i should do a marco thing where i'm
[TS]
01:53:17
◼
►
gonna buy the imac pro keep it for a
[TS]
01:53:19
◼
►
little while sell it by the mac pro
[TS]
01:53:21
◼
►
because I i had the mac pro for only
[TS]
01:53:23
◼
►
about 9 or 10 months before the 5k came
[TS]
01:53:26
◼
►
out and i didn't lose that much money on
[TS]
01:53:28
◼
►
it like I lost I think like fifteen
[TS]
01:53:31
◼
►
percent or something over like you know
[TS]
01:53:34
◼
►
almost a year that I consider that
[TS]
01:53:36
◼
►
pretty good yeah do you think I a
[TS]
01:53:38
◼
►
macbook adorable update is eminent cuz
[TS]
01:53:41
◼
►
I'm really itching to buy one you mean
[TS]
01:53:42
◼
►
the speed bump sorry I blows and do
[TS]
01:53:44
◼
►
those anymore it's really it honestly is
[TS]
01:53:48
◼
►
a very good question like where the heck
[TS]
01:53:50
◼
►
that is because it sure seems like you
[TS]
01:53:53
◼
►
know that that probably should have come
[TS]
01:53:54
◼
►
out this spring pretty sure the trip was
[TS]
01:53:56
◼
►
available but you know at me there could
[TS]
01:53:59
◼
►
be seen a like now we don't know before
[TS]
01:54:01
◼
►
we could just say it's just Tim Cook
[TS]
01:54:03
◼
►
being you know Tim Cook now we can say
[TS]
01:54:05
◼
►
maybe they're rethinking things maybe
[TS]
01:54:06
◼
►
like now we can be a little more
[TS]
01:54:08
◼
►
optimistic and like well maybe maybe
[TS]
01:54:09
◼
►
they're doing something else well like I
[TS]
01:54:12
◼
►
said when you talked about the mac mini
[TS]
01:54:13
◼
►
just because they've realized that if
[TS]
01:54:16
◼
►
you want a high-end computer you have to
[TS]
01:54:17
◼
►
update it like they've clearly made that
[TS]
01:54:19
◼
►
realization that a they do want a lion
[TS]
01:54:21
◼
►
computer and be you can't have my
[TS]
01:54:22
◼
►
computer you don't update it right that
[TS]
01:54:24
◼
►
doesn't mean they made that same
[TS]
01:54:25
◼
►
realization but anything else in the
[TS]
01:54:26
◼
►
product line because they could be
[TS]
01:54:28
◼
►
saying as you go down the line it's like
[TS]
01:54:29
◼
►
you can have a macbook adorable that we
[TS]
01:54:31
◼
►
never update it's not a high-end product
[TS]
01:54:33
◼
►
nobody cares about performance it's fine
[TS]
01:54:34
◼
►
why why waste time updating it every
[TS]
01:54:36
◼
►
year with speed bumps you know and like
[TS]
01:54:38
◼
►
that that's one of those things like so
[TS]
01:54:40
◼
►
many things that Apple reconsider is
[TS]
01:54:41
◼
►
like why does a computer have to have an
[TS]
01:54:43
◼
►
dr why why the batteries have to be
[TS]
01:54:45
◼
►
removable laptops right all these things
