00:00:18 ◼ ► What everything can't be number five and then within the fourth like this is my number one. [TS]
00:00:31 ◼ ► and like explain like I realized that I'm I'm not able to even ball the simple formula in to like she's fine with it. [TS]
00:00:40 ◼ ► Yes she does that it's like she's not even frustrated by it like the show is called top four. Pick. [TS]
00:00:49 ◼ ► I'm so angry you for that that it's not anything it's not your top far as their top four I guess [TS]
00:00:54 ◼ ► but I know it's his top for example it's not as Probably that was probably number fifteen with every other game in [TS]
00:00:59 ◼ ► existence. But I couldn't agree with you more John Mark and you've got to get a grip on the top four. [TS]
00:01:06 ◼ ► You just need to fight not right number one two three and four in the right words next to each one of the. [TS]
00:01:12 ◼ ► So we've had to do tiptoes the test doesn't see how watch her do it if you need like she does such a good job she has a [TS]
00:01:20 ◼ ► list of all the ways you considered she's got her top four she has a reason but you're just like oh no T.V. [TS]
00:01:34 ◼ ► Just going like talk you into like you know like change your mind halfway through the show [TS]
00:01:38 ◼ ► and she's like she's even called you on she's like you to stand up because I like that you know like no no no I've [TS]
00:01:42 ◼ ► changed my mind at this moment. The good thing she's on that show she's really caring you. I agree. So true. [TS]
00:01:52 ◼ ► John I love you I enjoyed what is an example I'm going to you know. All right let's start with. [TS]
00:01:59 ◼ ► We have learned that not only does this universe have many many many many many tap to click Wizards. [TS]
00:02:06 ◼ ► But as I believe John has phrased in the show notes. We have also found that there are quite a few C.E.C. [TS]
00:02:13 ◼ ► Unicorns and it's kind of an oxymoron because the whole thing of unicorn is like the one rare. [TS]
00:02:19 ◼ ► You know of course but there's a lot of them there are these not yours but anyway yeah. Lots of C.C. [TS]
00:02:27 ◼ ► and My frustration with it almost working like us that's the the good thing about it like it almost works it works some [TS]
00:02:33 ◼ ► of the time. You can kind of had to work you can I think you have everything set up and is working perfectly. [TS]
00:02:41 ◼ ► And you maybe you'll never get all the I'm bored again that's been my experience with C.C. [TS]
00:02:45 ◼ ► Across many different manufacturers and many years. So I asked to anyone use C.C. and Have good things to say about it. [TS]
00:03:05 ◼ ► but a surprising number of people are using C.C. and Are happy with a lot of them. It mentally. [TS]
00:03:10 ◼ ► We have fairly simple needs like they like I turn the thing on and it's what should i am put turned the thing on. [TS]
00:03:18 ◼ ► Increases and as you have a greater expectations like not only does it have to just auto switch and puts and. [TS]
00:03:25 ◼ ► You know turn on the television stuff but do a bunch of other things in terms of changing surround settings [TS]
00:03:29 ◼ ► or whatever other things you can do that maybe it goes more I I maybe it's gotten better since I bought my T.V. [TS]
00:03:35 ◼ ► and Receiver a couple years ago so who knows but anyway. If you want to be optimistic about C.C. [TS]
00:03:41 ◼ ► There are people out there who are using it successfully and happily and it's working for them. [TS]
00:03:45 ◼ ► And Robert and thout wrote in to explain why C.C. Might be so terrible. He is a six designer. [TS]
00:03:52 ◼ ► What does that stand for guys is that it has a whole I don't remember off hand at the shoe. Nicely done. Yeah. [TS]
00:04:00 ◼ ► I can't leave it on others acronym of top my head. Australian Securities and Investments Commission Yeah. [TS]
00:04:06 ◼ ► Kanchan specific integrated circuit Well you know how could I not pull that out I'm going to hold guys. [TS]
00:04:10 ◼ ► All right anyway so nice again Janeiro with H.D.M.I. Experience and. He says the C.C. [TS]
00:04:17 ◼ ► Protocol is crappy because only a limited set of commands are defined in the protocol [TS]
00:04:23 ◼ ► and the rest is entirely up to the manufacture of the device so there's a small set of commands that are defined. [TS]
00:04:31 ◼ ► And so I assume Panasonic will make up a bunch of stuff that works with his own stuff [TS]
00:04:35 ◼ ► and Sonny will make up stuff that works with his own stuff. And I top of that the spec for C.C. [TS]
00:04:40 ◼ ► Says even the defined commands you don't have to implement them they're not mandatory. [TS]
00:04:47 ◼ ► You don't even have to employ of the defined command you could for example implement your own volume up down [TS]
00:04:52 ◼ ► or input switching that works with your receiver not implement the the standard want it to my two point zero apparently [TS]
00:04:58 ◼ ► fixes this but I see my two point zero isn't how to. Yet on a lot of hardware. So C. C. Could get better and H.D. [TS]
00:05:05 ◼ ► My two point zero because I have learned from the past that if you let the manufacturers do whatever they want with [TS]
00:05:14 ◼ ► And maybe not even conducive to make thing with their own components from from distantly separated by time. [TS]
00:05:19 ◼ ► And not having the defined command be mandatory like I don't know what kind of standard is that if you don't have to [TS]
00:05:29 ◼ ► So that is the explanation for why people who had bad experiences with the bad experiences. [TS]
00:05:36 ◼ ► All right moving on we had yet another. Excellent post from dear friend of the show underscore David Smith. [TS]
00:05:45 ◼ ► David Smith blog posts are when he goes Spong King into data that he has gathered or can discover [TS]
00:06:00 ◼ ► And so the blog posts that is in question which relates to what we had lamented last episode is intitled sixteen [TS]
00:06:12 ◼ ► Underscore goes through his homegrown analytics that he has in his very popular Apple audiobooks. [TS]
00:06:20 ◼ ► That's not a super duper duper nerdy app and so it's got a really good kind of installed base of regular people [TS]
00:06:30 ◼ ► and he has these graphs of reported free space for sixteen gig Phones and. If you look at these graphs. [TS]
00:06:39 ◼ ► It's abundantly obvious that almost all these phones have almost no available free space. [TS]
00:06:44 ◼ ► And that just doesn't seem do it so I was it John that pulled out a couple of these choice quotes would you like to go [TS]
00:06:50 ◼ ► Yeah so the first thing is like if you know this is these are just the customers of one application [TS]
00:06:55 ◼ ► but it's not a super nerdy application but anyway. This is the premise of discussion as. [TS]
00:07:00 ◼ ► This is just among people who bought this one app from this one developer hoping it's representative of this is the [TS]
00:07:05 ◼ ► best data we have. It seems like it could be representative of anything it might skew more nerdy. I don't know. Anyway. [TS]
00:07:21 ◼ ► and I say it used to be that the most popular model of whatever Apple product was always the most expensive fanciest [TS]
00:07:27 ◼ ► one and that started to change. I don't know this point a decade ago. But anyway. It changed and now. [TS]
00:07:37 ◼ ► But even I was surprised to see that forty three percent of i Phone six X. Plus customers. [TS]
00:07:42 ◼ ► Got a sixteen gig model because that's the newest fanciest i Phone It's not like we're saying that the people buying [TS]
00:07:48 ◼ ► last year's of the year before phone or cheaping out. These are the people who want the new i Phone. [TS]
00:07:52 ◼ ► And just wanted like I said the last show. Want to find the cheapest possible way they can get the sixteen gig model. [TS]
00:08:00 ◼ ► and six plus is thirty seven percent of them have less than a gig of space available [TS]
00:08:04 ◼ ► and less than a gig of space available just basically full like less than a gig is almost anything can happen. [TS]
00:08:12 ◼ ► You know that's a point where I stand would start popping up dialogs in your face and saying. [TS]
00:08:24 ◼ ► but I bet everybody feels of their phones well among people who have sixty four gig phones only one percent of them [TS]
00:08:31 ◼ ► So it's not as if space it doesn't matter cycling is on high we're all you just make the phone bigger all people are [TS]
00:08:38 ◼ ► There is a certain amount of stuff that people have or expected to encounter during the useful life time of the phone. [TS]
00:08:45 ◼ ► Only one percent of the people have basically filled it. And among sixteen gig phones. [TS]
00:08:51 ◼ ► And then finally taking these customers the ones who have a six and six plus who have filled it up. [TS]
00:09:06 ◼ ► Are basically walking around all day as a newsgroup as if with the like a built around systemically [TS]
00:09:10 ◼ ► and sword dangling over their head that I got that right. You know the big sort of swings back and forth. [TS]
00:09:15 ◼ ► A ground ball. Is it the McLean I don't know. I'm going out on a limb here. Sort of Damocles. Anyway. [TS]
00:09:21 ◼ ► I don't even know that well. Yeah you can look it up Marco. At some culture. Yeah. So. [TS]
00:09:28 ◼ ► Seventeen percent of the customers now is just representative of all i Phone users in the entire world we don't know [TS]
00:09:33 ◼ ► this again it's one developers customers for one kind of general interest app. Only the i Phone six Plus. [TS]
00:09:39 ◼ ► But these numbers do not look promising like I I again I would think that underscores customers risk even more nerdy [TS]
00:09:46 ◼ ► because he moves in nerdy circles he is nerdy some of the out two thousand already but other ones are like [TS]
00:09:51 ◼ ► but I'm a plus plus and. The weather app and thought and the audiobooks opera just general. [TS]
00:09:56 ◼ ► You know general interest applications. Yeah but we've said this for Apple has the real numbers. [TS]
00:10:01 ◼ ► We don't have the real number so that impairs our ability to definitively shame them for selling sixteen gave my [TS]
00:10:08 ◼ ► but the little data that we have you know we're not Apple not sharing this information the day that we can glean Here's [TS]
00:10:14 ◼ ► some more support for the theory that a sixteen gig phone is not a good experience for users. Yeah it's. [TS]
00:10:20 ◼ ► It seems completely obvious to me that this was a terrible terrible terrible decision and just like you said John. [TS]
00:10:25 ◼ ► You know we don't have all the data that Apple has. But. Gosh. I would love to see what metric. [TS]
00:10:38 ◼ ► or something along those lines one of those businesses terms that are not very good with. Then the money money. [TS]
00:10:50 ◼ ► Because it seems so obvious to me that this is just terrible terrible terrible decision. I mean it's look. [TS]
00:10:57 ◼ ► I'm totally agree with you it's you can look at all the different possible explanations of why they might reasonably [TS]
00:11:04 ◼ ► but none of them are particularly strong especially for a very high profit product like the i Phone even at the sixteen [TS]
00:11:13 ◼ ► So the reality is Apple very well could ship that device with thirty two or even sixty four at that price point [TS]
00:11:24 ◼ ► but I think the reason they do it as I said before is not because they can't afford to put sixteen gigs in a six [TS]
00:11:36 ◼ ► It's because if they did that it would hurt sales of the one of the hundred dollars more. [TS]
00:11:40 ◼ ► And so it would drive their average sale price down. In all likelihood So that is why it's not done. [TS]
00:11:47 ◼ ► If there is no any other explanation is really just grasping at straws trying to make an excuse that is the real reason. [TS]
00:11:55 ◼ ► I completely agree. I could go on forever about this but I feel like we've kind of beaten this hordes beaten. [TS]
00:12:05 ◼ ► We had I guess we had talked about it hit it getting a little bit smaller last episode is that right. [TS]
00:12:20 ◼ ► Has one thousand seven hundred fifteen so most exactly one hundred million power difference. [TS]
00:12:24 ◼ ► And that is about a five percent loss. In terms of the new i Phones. Six S. Battery. [TS]
00:12:32 ◼ ► Or I guess that's just the success I'm sorry not the success plus which is a little bit of a loss [TS]
00:12:37 ◼ ► but presumably the the different. Chips on the device and they did a shrink didn't say on this one. [TS]
00:12:51 ◼ ► And so confused and confused all the nerds like with a thing they did it as they trying to say Shrink. Yeah. [TS]
00:12:56 ◼ ► I'm pretty sure that it is trying to make what the other thing to do very often is reduce the number of chips. [TS]
00:13:05 ◼ ► I'm assuming that they can absorb a cyber Zen loss with combined with the shrink in the efficiencies of. [TS]
00:13:14 ◼ ► but again I don't want to put some hard numbers on like the last show I looked like that vibration tapped again [TS]
00:13:21 ◼ ► Quantifying it looks like it's about five percent and by the way. These numbers are pulled from. [TS]
00:13:26 ◼ ► Apple's videos where they like Pan over the Arabs and show the battery. And on the battery is stamped the power rating. [TS]
00:13:34 ◼ ► And of course the i Phone six everybody knows from you know tear down and stuff so. [TS]
00:13:47 ◼ ► but you know I just give people the source because of the ever turns out that the video was wrong because someone [TS]
00:13:53 ◼ ► Photoshop that number on their English were wrong in the real battery is different than. You know. Anyway. [TS]
00:14:07 ◼ ► That could also even if you ignore any kind of component changes they made I was nine more battery efficient. [TS]
00:14:21 ◼ ► They also I don't know if they're if they're including in their battery runtime estimates. [TS]
00:14:26 ◼ ► If they are including the low power mode being turned on at ten percent or whatever it is twenty [TS]
00:14:31 ◼ ► or ten the turns on the VAT is not automatically turn on it prompts you to turn it on and so. [TS]
00:14:36 ◼ ► But I'm I'm guessing if you want to fight a number a little bit really optimize your number. [TS]
00:14:41 ◼ ► They would probably do that and they could argue that's fair because most people would do that anyway so it could be. [TS]
00:14:46 ◼ ► It could be including those things where it wasn't before. So keep that in mind when you read the official estimates. [TS]
00:14:54 ◼ ► We'll see what happens in practice I am still very skeptical. I guess went to XO xo. And I took the six plus with me. [TS]
00:15:04 ◼ ► And I've been using the six. All year except for one to kill another trip around of the series of trips. [TS]
00:15:09 ◼ ► But I went back to the six plus for this trip for battery life primarily and. Wow It is glorious. [TS]
00:15:25 ◼ ► But it's very clear that they think this is good enough. And I don't and so we just disagree on that. [TS]
00:15:46 ◼ ► Term the naked robotic core theory which is that you know the ideal phone is really tiny thing that you can that is so [TS]
00:15:53 ◼ ► small that you can put it in a case. If you want some other ability whether it's more durability more battery life. [TS]
00:15:59 ◼ ► Whatever whatever cases can offer. You can put it in a case to fix a chore comings of being small. [TS]
00:16:11 ◼ ► So I looked after this trip over the last few days have been I've been trying to research i Phone battery cases. [TS]
00:16:22 ◼ ► And that medicine fit my current phone now but I look to see what's out there today and they're just so. So terrible. [TS]
00:16:29 ◼ ► And I feel like one of the biggest arguments against the naked robotic core theory is just how bad. [TS]
00:16:35 ◼ ► All the other cases are like. If you want to give this phone. Fifty percent more battery life. [TS]
00:16:41 ◼ ► You have to add so much bulk. And so much size. Way more than if they would have is built in to begin with. [TS]
00:16:48 ◼ ► Plus it's this big like you know plastic thing with some stupid logo on the back to you that's so ugly [TS]
00:16:53 ◼ ► and tacky that no one's heard of from some some case company who cares right to care in the stupid logo. [TS]
00:17:03 ◼ ► The phone has to be extended by like a half inch. Just to have room for this plug and it's it's the. [TS]
00:17:11 ◼ ► and so this is I think like a huge strike against the naked robotic core theory is that by by. [TS]
00:17:28 ◼ ► when all the battery cases are varying degrees of terrible. So I generally agree with you. [TS]
00:17:34 ◼ ► I DO YOU HAVE A landmark battery case which I'll put the link in the show notes for what I have. [TS]
00:17:42 ◼ ► when I know that I'm going to need some extra juice which is almost never the only time I took a CLI use it is that [TS]
00:17:51 ◼ ► And when I go to football games when my phone is just desperately melting it's on battery trying to search for service. [TS]
00:18:05 ◼ ► It is it was not cheap I don't remember how much it was it was cheaper than the movie was at the time and I. [TS]
00:18:12 ◼ ► I've chosen for more than just frugality I feel while so I chose maybe the batteries a little bit bigger. [TS]
00:18:18 ◼ ► It adds a crap load a bulk to phone that I still think is a little bit big for my taste. [TS]
00:18:25 ◼ ► But that being said just today I got an email from movie where they have announced a new juice pack which is their line [TS]
00:18:32 ◼ ► of batteries called the Juice Pack reserve and will put that link in the show no it's not just put in the chat room. [TS]
00:18:37 ◼ ► This one is a very very very slim line battery that does not looked ad very much baulked at all. [TS]
00:18:44 ◼ ► In fact in the email which I don't have in front of me. They had him. They had. Here it is now in the same page. [TS]
00:19:02 ◼ ► Whereas with the averages they say it are typical as they say a protective case. It would be fifteen millimeters. [TS]
00:19:08 ◼ ► So in other words. It is no thicker than a normal case you would put on your phone by whatever they define normal. [TS]
00:19:16 ◼ ► and I would absolutely buy one if it wasn't for the fact that I already have a case. [TS]
00:19:20 ◼ ► So this might be the exception proves the rule. Generally speaking though I think you hit the nail on the head. [TS]
00:19:24 ◼ ► They are all terrible in huge and bulky and annoying. It is terrible and huge to people like us though. Like you. [TS]
00:19:37 ◼ ► and ridiculous I've seen people with non battery cases that are bigger than any battery case that I've seen that are [TS]
00:19:48 ◼ ► and people love them so there's no accounting for taste right so that set that aside. The thing I would say is that. [TS]
00:19:53 ◼ ► As every time this comes up I say that there's a place in Apple's line for a phone that is thicker [TS]
00:20:01 ◼ ► They don't currently make that but if they keep diversifying maybe eventually they will [TS]
00:20:05 ◼ ► and that would satisfy Marco's need for Johnny I have to designed hopefully non tough long coated nice look. [TS]
00:20:12 ◼ ► PHONE OR DOES NOT to deal with someone else's things lapping onto or does not to deal with it extending the ports [TS]
00:20:18 ◼ ► And all the things that he finds distasteful about it but I would say that people like him [TS]
00:20:23 ◼ ► and people like me are in the vast minority based on what I see on the world of how much people love their super ugly [TS]
00:20:29 ◼ ► like a wallet credit card. You know a car jack combined. Whatever like bottle opener i Phone cases like seriously. [TS]
00:20:39 ◼ ► I thought of all the problems that you know that's. I would think that people consider that a feature like yours. [TS]
00:20:46 ◼ ► or allows allows people to exercise their different tastes Let's say you know what your taste of the sticker. [TS]
00:20:55 ◼ ► Because the public melt of the thing because I get so warm as you noted when you used it without a case or. [TS]
00:21:00 ◼ ► It's Yeah I think I mean I've turned into a case first and with the six simply because. [TS]
00:21:06 ◼ ► And I guess use the Apple leather case because it's really slim and feels very good I always like the feel of leather. [TS]
00:21:25 ◼ ► But I have my doubts that you know because the shape like it's the same shape. And the six. [TS]
00:21:31 ◼ ► Is a problem for two main reasons. One is the shape one is the is the slickness of the metal. [TS]

00:24:29 ◼ ► But there's also first party. A lot of stuff that they brought the dock back recently. [TS]
00:24:33 ◼ ► The new one I think even has a headphone port on the back of it and you can get it in pink I mean excuse me rose gold. [TS]
00:24:43 ◼ ► I haven't seen them person yet I assume it's pink in the same weight of the gold one of the gold [TS]
00:24:51 ◼ ► Yes so I haven't seen the phone but I did go to the Apple store Sunday. Oh I should do this quick. [TS]
00:24:58 ◼ ► Anyway once the up store Sunday saw the watch the rose gold watch it was pink it was not rose gold it was pink. [TS]

01:41:38 ◼ ► They are basically saying no freakin way we're going to touch the i Pad Pro cause we can't make any money on it that [TS]
01:41:45 ◼ ► Kind of struck me the wrong way because we all know there are problems with the App Store [TS]
01:41:49 ◼ ► and there are problems with the companies that have difficulty finding a way to make money [TS]

01:42:16 ◼ ► or anything like that it's just there are many reasons why it makes sense for them not to make the app. [TS]
01:42:22 ◼ ► Maybe they don't have you know they have not developers not i OS developers you know they can sell knockouts are more [TS]
01:42:27 ◼ ► like all the things we've talked about over there are but the idea that it is inconceivable. [TS]

01:42:35 ◼ ► We think that there's not a market for a sustainable market for us for. I Pad problem. [TS]
01:42:40 ◼ ► And then we think that because we've judge there not to be a sustainable market for these applications on the previous [TS]

01:43:15 ◼ ► It is a condemnation of the entire concept of there being a supportable pro application space I think. [TS]
01:43:20 ◼ ► If the i Pad Pro has the best chance maybe Apple T.V. So tied with that. The best chance to break through. [TS]

01:45:21 ◼ ► The big thing is going to be volume. It's. Will the i Pad Pro sell enough volume that. [TS]
01:45:29 ◼ ► It'll be worth developing high quality as for it. Because if there is if it doesn't achieve. Really high volumes. [TS]
01:45:36 ◼ ► And you know. High volumes for an i Pad are still very low volumes for an i Phone But let's let's just say like. [TS]
01:45:42 ◼ ► You know if it doesn't sell a lot. If. If a lot of these things don't sell by i Pad standards. [TS]
01:45:48 ◼ ► It's going to be very hard for most companies justify developing for it just on that basis alone. [TS]
01:45:54 ◼ ► I'm doing volume works against the because the high volumes as part of the reasons why there's such downward price [TS]
01:46:01 ◼ ► Most people don't want to pay for software period but if you're selling a pro app. You don't need. Like you know. [TS]

01:46:27 ◼ ► Drawing and designing things are there in the world not a lot like. I think volume. [TS]
01:46:33 ◼ ► That's a you know not the you can't sell like ten thousand on the you can't I think you probably even more than [TS]
01:46:38 ◼ ► but you don't need i have i Phones that number so I don't know what the middle is they're like. [TS]
01:46:43 ◼ ► If it just sells and merely normal i Pad volumes is that too few. But if it sells in merely normal i Pad volumes. [TS]

01:47:19 ◼ ► for an application it's unheard of. Well that's true however. Max also have the advantage of an installed base already. [TS]
01:47:33 ◼ ► If you want to really you know let's suppose Apple made a new mac. And you know with some interesting. [TS]
01:47:38 ◼ ► You know new screen. Shape or something. You know. And you made an app that worked well in that. [TS]
01:47:46 ◼ ► and millions of other Macs that already exist in the world that can probably also run that app. [TS]
01:47:56 ◼ ► Also I would argue that there's a lot more people who quote get their work done on a mac than i Pad in these kind of [TS]
01:48:05 ◼ ► like content creation or professional kind of fields. That's. I don't know that offhand. [TS]
01:48:09 ◼ ► However that sounds very likely if I had a guess now. You know on the i Pad Pro to make a really good i Pad Pro at P.T. [TS]

01:48:29 ◼ ► I like the pencil idea I think it sounds very good and very compelling and very interesting. However again. [TS]
01:48:34 ◼ ► There's going to be very few of these things the market for a while so it's going to be hard just numbers wise now. [TS]
01:48:40 ◼ ► Assume they have healthy installed base. Assume it actually becomes reasonably possible to sell a decent number of. [TS]
01:48:52 ◼ ► Then the question is can you actually build and sustain a business with the app stores. [TS]
01:49:08 ◼ ► Five and a half years now and I know a lot of companies have struggled to bring that kind of business to the i Pad. [TS]
01:49:15 ◼ ► It's hard enough on the i Phone where you have tons of value to make up for it. It's even harder on the i Pad. So how. [TS]
01:49:29 ◼ ► It can solve the first problem of hail to get a bunch of people buy these things. You know because they're really good. [TS]
01:49:43 ◼ ► You know I don't know what the right answer is I do know that from the show been Thompson wrote a really good piece [TS]
01:49:49 ◼ ► about the Apple platforms becoming platforms rather than products and. I didn't get a chance to read it thoroughly. [TS]
01:49:58 ◼ ► So I now I'm assigning myself some homework to do so but will put a link in the chat for both myself [TS]
01:50:11 ◼ ► And that you know Apple seems to think that they can solve these problems by just creating new products [TS]
01:50:23 ◼ ► The reason i Pad pro's interesting is because it's find new product with different features that. [TS]
01:50:27 ◼ ► Like it changes a little bit of the equation. Like if you're going to sell a hundred dollar app for designers. [TS]
01:50:35 ◼ ► Like if you're in one of my muscles just swipe at us with my finger big smile she bawled rubber hot dog [TS]
01:50:40 ◼ ► or something that's nonsense on starter. So certainly things are more possible. They. [TS]

01:50:58 ◼ ► They sell for us is that the presence of family law and the reason is no trial. And we all agree that like you know. [TS]
01:51:08 ◼ ► Upgrade pricing trials for very expensive applications you can figure out if you like and so on and so forth. [TS]
01:51:13 ◼ ► That is a system that has already existed on the mac. The did work. Apple's contention. [TS]
01:51:19 ◼ ► Implicit contention with i OS has been. We can get rid of all the bad sides of that system. While you know. [TS]
01:51:28 ◼ ► And make up for it by just being better in so many other ways make up for an invaluable make up for it in an easier [TS]
01:51:35 ◼ ► develop platform make up for a better user experience and more people buy a rap song that you know. [TS]
01:51:39 ◼ ► Make up for it because people can just tap that finger on a piece of glass and buy rap really usually [TS]
01:51:47 ◼ ► You know probably the most successful application platform ever created because it's so easy to buy Apple cation is far [TS]
01:51:53 ◼ ► far far more people put apps on their phones than ever put apps on their computers. You know. [TS]
01:51:58 ◼ ► Volume wise like it's just so easy to get out like we talk to others before. There are lots of upside. [TS]
01:52:03 ◼ ► But once you get into the realm of professional applications applications that cost a lot of money to develop [TS]
01:52:09 ◼ ► applications that are always going to sell in smaller volumes they're not angry birds that you know there's only. [TS]
01:52:14 ◼ ► There's only seven hundred thousand people in the entire United States who even need this application [TS]
01:52:21 ◼ ► And that's my entire user base are going to charge each one of them a thousand dollars. [TS]

01:52:33 ◼ ► And if I can't do that. It doesn't work for me and pick whatever. Numbers you want the applications like. [TS]
01:52:38 ◼ ► I'm thinking back to the good old days of the I am rich application. In some ways. [TS]
01:52:44 ◼ ► That's going to have a kind of nostalgia for the idea that that's how high the pricing would go. [TS]
01:52:49 ◼ ► I know there are some high priced out locations and I was for a very very narrowly defined field [TS]
01:52:54 ◼ ► but it's just this big gulf. Like in the middle between free or almost free things. [TS]
01:53:01 ◼ ► And you know and things that are just really expensive are being sold to companies that used to be on the Mac. [TS]
01:53:08 ◼ ► There was and still kind of is a healthy place for applications that cost. Tens or hundreds of dollars that. [TS]
01:53:16 ◼ ► Let people do their jobs better. And that the developers. Support that application an ongoing basis. [TS]
01:53:23 ◼ ► Year after year after year just working on the application making a better porting its new platforms. [TS]
01:53:31 ◼ ► and bounds of able to continue to pay them a little bit of money each year for the new version of the whatever because [TS]
01:53:35 ◼ ► it helps them get their job done. So I sympathize with the sketch people but I really hope. I really help someone. [TS]
01:53:48 ◼ ► Can I make a business selling professional level applications for double digit or triple digit prices on the i Pad Pro. [TS]
01:54:12 ◼ ► and they brag about look at all these applications we have. And look at this once beautiful and and. [TS]
01:54:18 ◼ ► You all of this opera whatever but where are there are success stories like you know you know dhobi Photoshop or B.B. [TS]
01:54:24 ◼ ► Edit for crying out loud or any applications like. This isn't just a flash in the pan. [TS]
01:54:29 ◼ ► Popular application for a company that got bought by Facebook or Google or went out of business [TS]
01:54:36 ◼ ► And you know and then that they have things like I'm in a group at the very least. [TS]
01:54:40 ◼ ► And I west they have like Well companies that can subsidize things like Microsoft and Apple itself [TS]
01:54:47 ◼ ► And then a bunch of other want to present shops to get really rich selling a game that sells to millions of people [TS]
01:54:56 ◼ ► But there's a dead spot in the middle for applications that could sell to a lot of people. [TS]
01:55:04 ◼ ► Because of the real or imagined pressure to price that low and the platform is worse for all for it and. [TS]
01:55:13 ◼ ► I think users are a software that's what setting aside developers because developers can always do something else like [TS]
01:55:18 ◼ ► a different application do you know developers are employable there but they'll be fine right. [TS]
01:55:22 ◼ ► It's just most disappointing for Apple and for users because users want better applications [TS]
01:55:26 ◼ ► and I think sort of Apple I think they would be able to brag more convincingly about the things that happen on their [TS]
01:55:36 ◼ ► So we have at least by the way the clock reads on the Sky call we have had two hours of follow up so I think we're [TS]
01:55:42 ◼ ► pretty much tapped out. Thanks a lot to our three sponsors this week. Squarespace. Lynda dot com and automatic. [TS]
01:55:49 ◼ ► And we will see you next week. Now the show is over. They didn't even mean to be good because it was accidental. [TS]
01:56:09 ◼ ► Because it was that little dental was accidental. And you today. And if you're trying to build. [TS]
01:56:25 ◼ ► And he was no sense that that's keep lists and the N.T. Marco are the men. Let's take the risk you. [TS]
01:56:54 ◼ ► So Marco did anything happen today. Barely. It almost happen tomorrow. For enough so you have a new thing. Yeah. [TS]
01:57:04 ◼ ► Launch a new app. It's called Peace. It's an I.R.S. Non-content blocker. And the big deal about it is. [TS]
01:57:11 ◼ ► So it's an addon tracker blocker but the big deal about it is that I actually license. The database from Go story. [TS]
01:57:17 ◼ ► So this is powered by GO story. Which is pretty cool I think I think it's I think it's the best database out there. [TS]
01:57:23 ◼ ► Honestly I tried a lot of them. And really a lot over the summer. And I found them to be the best. So I went to them. [TS]
01:57:32 ◼ ► I asked of avian treated and licensing it for a simple. Revenue share deal and they actually said Yes it's amazing. [TS]
01:57:47 ◼ ► Looks as you know they're big companies that was kind of a surprise for me. And yeah. Great all August of. [TS]
01:57:57 ◼ ► I had other databases you know in various stages of testing throughout the summer and. [TS]
01:58:07 ◼ ► And not just some like total mammoth thing like massive number of rules massive you know database size [TS]
01:58:15 ◼ ► and complexity and everything because the bigger you make the rules that the worse. It impacts performance and. [TS]
01:58:22 ◼ ► It is a pretty fast system. And you can do quite a lot of rules and have it not slow down too bad but you know. [TS]
01:58:33 ◼ ► When you make a change the rules you have to send the system all of your rules again. [TS]
01:58:37 ◼ ► So if you like add a white list and site. You to send all of your rules back to the system again. [TS]
01:58:41 ◼ ► And that actually takes. With my rule set on an i Phone six which is the grocery database. [TS]
01:58:47 ◼ ► That takes like two and a half seconds to do it by the way you can tell how long it takes is if you use the the. [TS]
01:59:03 ◼ ► And then when the Safari view controller closes it renewables the regular rule set. [TS]
01:59:07 ◼ ► And so you can tell when one is forgiven for close it says restoring peace about thought for a few seconds [TS]
01:59:13 ◼ ► and that screen goes away. That is how long it takes to reload the content blocker rules. [TS]
01:59:18 ◼ ► That is what that is waiting for. And so if you. If you test or. If you do a larger database. [TS]
01:59:22 ◼ ► Most of it the big host files the easy list all these. All the different sources of your ad log format or hosts format. [TS]
01:59:36 ◼ ► and mine is two thousand so it literally it loads for the most part pretty much five times more more quickly [TS]
01:59:46 ◼ ► and even the cost might be small it is still a per page cost to evaluate all those rules. [TS]
01:59:53 ◼ ► Fast parsers and everything but it's still you know the fewer rules. The faster it is so. [TS]
02:00:02 ◼ ► Had more compatibility problems like certain sites like there's there's a tracker I think it's called Adobe I'm not [TS]
02:00:08 ◼ ► sure I don't know much about the stuff about the specifics of these things but in the enterprise. Exactly. [TS]
02:00:13 ◼ ► It's also used on Apple site. And if you. If you don't. If you allow for other if you block. [TS]
02:00:28 ◼ ► It doesn't work because certain sites will actually use various events triggered by these analytics packages to trigger [TS]
02:00:35 ◼ ► page functionality. So if you disable some of these things. Pages actually stop working right. And go story. Does. [TS]
02:00:43 ◼ ► Compatibility work they're big enough company they have the resources to to both hear about these things and does [TS]
02:00:48 ◼ ► and to make exceptions of their their databases pretty sophisticated like you know these rules should be should be [TS]
02:00:57 ◼ ► So they so their data was just it was better for me it was just better I did try. One of my. [TS]
02:01:04 ◼ ► One of my crazy ideas which I ran for about two weeks. Was to just block. All third party javascript. Just all of it. [TS]
02:01:14 ◼ ► And I found I had to already make a few little exceptions even just to make that work. [TS]
02:01:18 ◼ ► Like one of the biggest ones was Squarespace sites. They were just break like simple things like links and images and. [TS]
02:01:28 ◼ ► and domain which you consider third party if you look at our pigs template because we have our own domain. [TS]
02:01:32 ◼ ► So any Squarespace site hosted on some domain name. Would break without the certain exemptions made on Google as like J. [TS]
02:01:38 ◼ ► Query hosting and tons of people use that so you can't block all third party because just lots of the whole arc. [TS]
02:01:44 ◼ ► Exactly and I even found like. Like I was like so many sites that you wouldn't think like like out like. [TS]
02:01:49 ◼ ► It was when I was drunk when I started my camera and B.H. Their site broke. Like the whole B.N. [TS]
02:01:58 ◼ ► Since there were just there were so many things that broke. With simpler rules like that and then the bigger rule sets. [TS]
02:02:06 ◼ ► Worse. We're primarily focused on like hiding ads on P.C.'s and without regard to breakage is really. [TS]
02:02:15 ◼ ► So they had a lot of those issues with breakage is they also just had these giant rule sets that were full of like you [TS]
02:02:21 ◼ ► know. Five thousand entries for Russian porn sites and do I really need that to I really need to waste. [TS]
02:02:26 ◼ ► Thousands of entries on things like that in to block those ads for the X. Ten camera. Allow. [TS]
02:02:40 ◼ ► and rule sets I inquired about about licensing because a lot of these things like for instance. [TS]
02:02:51 ◼ ► You could include a lot more host names and block list sources than if you're a commercial product. [TS]
02:03:00 ◼ ► There's a lot of these list that you're not allowed to use by their license agreement. I did go to some of them. [TS]
02:03:05 ◼ ► Approach them for licensing. Most of them didn't respond some of them said no. Some of them said yes for X. [TS]
02:03:11 ◼ ► Dollars a year. But I never found any that were both usable. And were actually good enough. [TS]
02:03:18 ◼ ► If that makes sense except Go story. And I went That's why I went there I did not think they would say yes. [TS]
02:03:23 ◼ ► I figured their big company they have these plugins they don't want to do their own thing. [TS]
02:03:29 ◼ ► and I was because the concept like are so limited they can't do their core business function. [TS]
02:03:33 ◼ ► So they didn't really have anything ready for us nine. And I was. And I had an app that needed a database. [TS]
02:03:39 ◼ ► And they had a database need a nap. So there you go. That's pretty awesome. Yeah it really worked out very well. [TS]
02:03:47 ◼ ► To channel some friends of ours you know I've been testing it for a couple of weeks now and it is pretty darn good and. [TS]
02:04:00 ◼ ► Especially at home when I'm doing more browsing for me rather than you know looking up things for work. [TS]
02:04:06 ◼ ► I felt like my internet had been getting slower lately and I couldn't put my finger on what it was or why it was. [TS]
02:04:13 ◼ ► And between installing go straight on my mac and installing peace on my US devices. Suddenly. [TS]
02:04:19 ◼ ► Things seem snappier again and there's very well could be that this is ALL my head. [TS]
02:04:32 ◼ ► Snappy like they did just a year or two ago. And so whatever content blocker you choose to run. [TS]
02:04:40 ◼ ► I strongly encourage you to to run one because it really does make your your browsing experience that much better [TS]

02:05:10 ◼ ► And of course he had profit previously about that is wealthy should read those see already has your homework. [TS]
02:05:14 ◼ ► Was an earth. Next week we'll probably talk more about at blocking a lot of stuff but in the meantime. [TS]
