The Accidental Tech Podcast

00:00:00 ◼   ► that's my fault again well to combination transaction allows more [TS]

00:00:03 ◼   ► chances that it's not your fault again yes the most egregious error I made in [TS]

00:00:12 ◼   ► the last episode was reporting that the global San iSCSI initiator was free it [TS]

00:00:17 ◼   ► used to be free but apparently a couple of years ago [TS]

00:00:21 ◼   ► free now it's 90 bucks and so when looking at iSCSI initiators you have [TS]

00:00:27 ◼   ► global global Senate ninety an dado 295 so 200 basically I still continue to get [TS]

00:00:35 ◼   ► positive recommendations for the added one and mixed to negative [TS]

00:00:39 ◼   ► recommendations for the global San Juan few people send in a few a few kernel [TS]

00:00:44 ◼   ► panic stories about global San so given the price difference is now much much [TS]

00:00:49 ◼   ► smaller than it was before I would if I was going i skazhi I would go with the [TS]

00:00:54 ◼   ► arrow on but I still haven't won also interesting I skazhi thing that few [TS]

00:00:59 ◼   ► people have pointed out to me I didn't realize but it makes perfect sense [TS]

00:01:02 ◼   ► because I skazhi is basically just like running the direct drive access protocol [TS]

00:01:09 ◼   ► over the wire you can actually like like let's say let's say Mac OS whatever [TS]

00:01:15 ◼   ► Mavericks or whatever comes after Mavericks comes out and your iSCSI [TS]

00:01:19 ◼   ► initiator of your favorite stops working and just won't work again you can take [TS]

00:01:26 ◼   ► the drive out of the out of an ass and stick it either directly into the [TS]

00:01:31 ◼   ► computer into one of those drive dock things and because I just accessing the [TS]

00:01:37 ◼   ► drive directly if you plug it into your computer it works directly because like [TS]

00:01:42 ◼   ► it's formatted however you formatted it it's like a block level protocol so I [TS]

00:01:48 ◼   ► think it's pretty cool so that that's like an interesting kind of insurance [TS]

00:01:51 ◼   ► policy against cuz we know we were discussing last episode how I was [TS]

00:01:55 ◼   ► worried enjoyment you know you were worried about you know first of all even [TS]

00:01:57 ◼   ► needing to run a third-party colonel thing to to have this protocol enabled [TS]

00:02:00 ◼   ► but also I was worried about you know what happens when a new version of the [TS]

00:02:04 ◼   ► OS comes out and we know what if your iSCSI initiator breaks how long does it [TS]

00:02:09 ◼   ► take them to fix it do they ever fix it [TS]

00:02:12 ◼   ► has caused problems it's nice to have the option that you know we can always [TS]

00:02:17 ◼   ► just like they have wondered Dr duct injury nor does my now and if not you [TS]

00:02:22 ◼   ► can get one from Amazon for like 30 bucks or something but it is nice to [TS]

00:02:27 ◼   ► have that kind of fallback option and also one more little bit of follow-up on [TS]

00:02:32 ◼   ► the on the nasa topic one person recommends I was unfamiliar with this [TS]

00:02:37 ◼   ► cause I i've been paying a lot of attention to PC hardware and a prob [TS]

00:02:41 ◼   ► about five years but there's an HP microserver and it of course XP HP makes [TS]

00:02:49 ◼   ► a really really awesome servers and networking products and their website is [TS]

00:02:54 ◼   ► completely abysmal makes all the impossible to find an impossible to find [TS]

00:02:58 ◼   ► information about but if you search Amazon for HP microserver you can see [TS]

00:03:03 ◼   ► there's a few of these things as basically it it looks like a four bein [TS]

00:03:07 ◼   ► ass and it's it's like a little cube and it's like 300 bucks with some kind of [TS]

00:03:15 ◼   ► low power CPU a little bit of RAM and for hard drive bays and even optical day [TS]

00:03:19 ◼   ► so if you are looking into the build your own area of nasa's the HP [TS]

00:03:26 ◼   ► microserver might be worth looking at that's all I really know about it but it [TS]

00:03:28 ◼   ► looks really interesting and and i would i would certainly want to play with that [TS]

00:03:31 ◼   ► if I had a good reason to get what you guys have fun on the ice caused you [TS]

00:03:36 ◼   ► think with like playing the drives out of your nasa and connect directly with [TS]

00:03:41 ◼   ► enclosure or in the old days putting them inside your Mac Pro can make sure [TS]

00:03:45 ◼   ► you don't use any raid setup obviously you're nasty if you do this if you if [TS]

00:03:48 ◼   ► you have a bunch of drives in there and you want to [TS]

00:03:50 ◼   ► be able to flexibly takeout drives and stick in new ones of different sizes and [TS]

00:03:54 ◼   ► haven't you know three silver and everything like if you're doing that you [TS]

00:03:58 ◼   ► lose the advantage of being able to pull that drive out and attach it you know [TS]

00:04:02 ◼   ► not through the next year thing even if you're using iSCSI that's one thing to [TS]

00:04:06 ◼   ► be aware I sort of have enough of a reason to to try i skazhi and spent 200 [TS]

00:04:11 ◼   ► bucks and get the thing and and try it but it's it's nice to know that an [TS]

00:04:15 ◼   ► option like in case a time machine thing breaks with 10 9 because one of the [TS]

00:04:19 ◼   ► things as ten nine apparently changes either removes AppleTalk feiler Fe or it [TS]

00:04:27 ◼   ► is disabled by default one of those people who doesn't remove it [TS]

00:04:32 ◼   ► okay well anyway runs errands network access over SMB too much I should know [TS]

00:04:36 ◼   ► more about all this research on that but it ends of people are speculating that [TS]

00:04:40 ◼   ► might break or change the time machine things it will snow people keep asking [TS]

00:04:44 ◼   ► me that as well and i actually don't know the answer so I can break in da and [TS]

00:04:47 ◼   ► tell you but my guess is that time she is still only because they did a bunch [TS]

00:04:52 ◼   ► of weird enhancements to time machine to Network Time Machine backups and your [TS]

00:04:57 ◼   ► special that we got some email from somebody I think it was saying that when [TS]

00:05:01 ◼   ► when Apple made to the great time machine over the network used to be a [TS]

00:05:04 ◼   ► terrible and they did some sort of Procol great to make it not terrible and [TS]

00:05:09 ◼   ► if you happen to have a third party mask device that supported the old terrible [TS]

00:05:12 ◼   ► way and that company didn't upgraded to support the new way than you were sad [TS]

00:05:16 ◼   ► because even though your device typically supported time you should use [TS]

00:05:19 ◼   ► the old terrible and I think both felt terrible and the new way for both [TS]

00:05:22 ◼   ► buildup of that piece of my guesses Time Machine over the network to a time [TS]

00:05:27 ◼   ► capsule continues to use AFP even in Mavericks and I say that having not [TS]

00:05:31 ◼   ► tested it all good to know and I'll be able to I think actually ours is going [TS]

00:05:37 ◼   ► to do another article about s&V to an AFP and that's going to be my excuse for [TS]

00:05:42 ◼   ► not helping advertisers don't have this type of help I don't have a time capsule [TS]

00:05:46 ◼   ► of any stripe available for an ass for that matter where I also thought it was [TS]

00:05:51 ◼   ► interesting [TS]

00:05:52 ◼   ► last episode we talked very briefly about the the new Apple 802 11 AC [TS]

00:05:57 ◼   ► Airport Extreme and time capsules and you mention of course that has a family [TS]

00:06:01 ◼   ► was news to me and I i knew that there was an empty drive bay inside of it but [TS]

00:06:07 ◼   ► I didn't actually look at the turn onto something that I believe actually join [TS]

00:06:09 ◼   ► you probably told me at the BBC at some point we're walking somewhere but I [TS]

00:06:14 ◼   ► looked at the iFixit teardown of the new AirPort Extreme Base Station and it is [TS]

00:06:20 ◼   ► pretty comical because it is just like a giant three and a half inch hard drive [TS]

00:06:24 ◼   ► bay in the middle of this this thing that you know does not need one [TS]

00:06:29 ◼   ► otherwise if it isn't a time capsule its 3.5 inches are you positive you're on [TS]

00:06:37 ◼   ► the chat I gotta find things out to be gigantic is a bit like the amount it [TS]

00:06:43 ◼   ► diagonally so basically it standing up on end but it's oriented diagonally in [TS]

00:06:47 ◼   ► the case so it's as if you drew a rectangle a talk to hang around like a [TS]

00:06:54 ◼   ► diag [TS]

00:06:54 ◼   ► around a 45 degree day at the hard drive that is the shape of this thing it's [TS]

00:06:59 ◼   ► really weird and so that's and so i think is interesting first of all that [TS]

00:07:06 ◼   ► you know it has it that the risk of making the same unit whether it's a time [TS]

00:07:09 ◼   ► capsule or not and then just not having a hard drive or a or even a little [TS]

00:07:15 ◼   ► country cable that goes into it here you can see it and it also is how much it [TS]

00:07:21 ◼   ► looks like the new Mac Pro construction inside and then the third interesting [TS]

00:07:24 ◼   ► thing which puts kind of was a disappointment to me I thought that the [TS]

00:07:28 ◼   ► hope that the point of that tall shape was to make larger antennas inside to [TS]

00:07:33 ◼   ► have like it at all antennas are spaced out a bit for you know better better [TS]

00:07:37 ◼   ► reception better range [TS]

00:07:38 ◼   ► different different frequencies whatever the case may be and turns out I could [TS]

00:07:43 ◼   ► tell from this stare down it looks like all of the antennas are still in the top [TS]

00:07:48 ◼   ► elite so there's there appears to be no reason for it to be tall other than to [TS]

00:07:55 ◼   ► fit the hard drive and have a smaller footprint and maybe you know have have [TS]

00:07:58 ◼   ► more room for the cooling and everything that [TS]

00:08:00 ◼   ► but there appears to be no no good radio reception reason for to be tall with the [TS]

00:08:06 ◼   ► exception that maybe that it gets a little bit off of whatever service you [TS]

00:08:10 ◼   ► have the thing on [TS]

00:08:11 ◼   ► gets the intent is a little bit higher than that service to get a little bit [TS]

00:08:14 ◼   ► less interference but that can matter that much but I don't know so it was a [TS]

00:08:19 ◼   ► pointed out that anyway this might be the most boring follow-up we've ever [TS]

00:08:24 ◼   ► done that's saying something like this router is exciting because it's terrible [TS]

00:08:29 ◼   ► I don't want to buy this thing i buy on us like Asus things with to target [TS]

00:08:37 ◼   ► looking at an estate I i just like I want all the features of thing provides [TS]

00:08:41 ◼   ► I want to be able to just plug in the printer and have the USB printer sharing [TS]

00:08:44 ◼   ► thing because I still have my cheap printers and I like the management [TS]

00:08:49 ◼   ► software that the new versions kinda crappy but it's not you know it's [TS]

00:08:53 ◼   ► everything is fine except the fact that is gigantic and has a fan and there's a [TS]

00:08:59 ◼   ► place for hard drive that I'm not going to use and they took away one network [TS]

00:09:03 ◼   ► port versus the one I have now so I don't think I could could buy this thing [TS]

00:09:06 ◼   ► you have a month for yet another one I have like the one you know and then I [TS]

00:09:12 ◼   ► think it has four I could run over and check now as soon as long as they have [TS]

00:09:16 ◼   ► been the previous shape of the slick though at the white Mac Mini shape [TS]

00:09:19 ◼   ► rectangle they've always had three as far as I know mine mine doesn't let me [TS]

00:09:25 ◼   ► go check was a need to give Marco something to do in editing right back [TS]

00:09:35 ◼   ► account of that kind of the parts yet when he got the same as I was fooled by [TS]

00:09:41 ◼   ► like the USB cable sticking out of the back of its annoying because like it's [TS]

00:09:47 ◼   ► kind of a weird number to have i get if you have if you if you don't have any [TS]

00:09:51 ◼   ► wireless devices or any wired devices then you can use any ports and if you [TS]

00:09:55 ◼   ► have wired devices you probably need more than that I have a bunch of [TS]

00:09:59 ◼   ► switches connected I think so yeah quite a rat's nest as it extends out from I'm [TS]

00:10:04 ◼   ► a little disappointed that you don't have all your cables like zip tied [TS]

00:10:07 ◼   ► color-coded etcetera etcetera [TS]

00:10:09 ◼   ► I could but when I possible my dad and I rewired are my home theater which I say [TS]

00:10:17 ◼   ► that with enormous air quotes we we rewire the home theater in order to [TS]

00:10:21 ◼   ► change from component ur component composite that wrong whatever doesn't [TS]

00:10:26 ◼   ► change from those two HDMI cables and even I decided to color code the HDMI [TS]

00:10:33 ◼   ► cable so the ones going from the source into the wall [TS]

00:10:36 ◼   ► the colors match the ones coming out of the wall into the TV cuz I'm not dirty [TS]

00:10:41 ◼   ► that is impressive I know I thought you'd like that that's what we talked [TS]

00:10:45 ◼   ► about tonight [TS]

00:10:46 ◼   ► well it might be worth talking about the developer portal being done for so long [TS]

00:10:51 ◼   ► because at the time of record this it still is but because this is coming out [TS]

00:10:55 ◼   ► to Muslim public in about a week I don't know how how useful that discussion [TS]

00:10:59 ◼   ► would be assuming it's probably gonna be up in a week a lot of the eyeless [TS]

00:11:05 ◼   ► development world is probably grinding to a halt right now it during a major [TS]

00:11:10 ◼   ► work period getting ready for iOS 7 so it's kind of a big deal but they're [TS]

00:11:13 ◼   ► still selling software like there I did increase of magnitude for example the [TS]

00:11:17 ◼   ► iTunes Store where nobody can buy anything that iTunes cells going down [TS]

00:11:20 ◼   ► would be more of a fire drill than this which is which is why I think I'll be [TS]

00:11:24 ◼   ► more willing to say look not like the iTunes Store went down guys I know [TS]

00:11:28 ◼   ► developer gonna be doable let's take the extra six hours or whatever to make sure [TS]

00:11:32 ◼   ► that we have our stuff together because as terrible as it is for the developer [TS]

00:11:37 ◼   ► portal to be down it's not a type thing with his big clock on the wall with a [TS]

00:11:40 ◼   ► dollar sign in front of it and numbers taking up every second thing is down [TS]

00:11:43 ◼   ► with two jobs ago I was a company like that it's like every every minute or [TS]

00:11:47 ◼   ► server is down we was this amount of money at the big number so it makes a [TS]

00:11:51 ◼   ► difference [TS]

00:11:51 ◼   ► whereas yet now it's a bummer that people can put stuff up in the store and [TS]

00:11:54 ◼   ► stuff like that but customers can still buy out the engine of revenue running [TS]

00:11:59 ◼   ► into Apple's still running and I think they can afford downtime here and just [TS]

00:12:04 ◼   ► like apologized profusely and be nice and extend people's undo all that stuff [TS]

00:12:07 ◼   ► versus like what we what we would see from Apple kind of motion and [TS]

00:12:11 ◼   ► communication we would see from Apple at the iTunes Store itself was down that [TS]

00:12:15 ◼   ► would be like New York Times headline calamitous I think this this might this [TS]

00:12:22 ◼   ► might be result and you know you kind of get the feeling from Apple that you see [TS]

00:12:26 ◼   ► in a valley WBC and you think wow they really love developers in this really [TS]

00:12:31 ◼   ► high priority for them but then you see what they do for the rest of the year [TS]

00:12:35 ◼   ► for developers and it's kind of a mixed bag some sometimes it looks like they [TS]

00:12:39 ◼   ► really care and put a lot of resources into it and sometimes it looks like they [TS]

00:12:44 ◼   ► couldn't possibly care less and you know we get a lot of a lot of everything in [TS]

00:12:47 ◼   ► between [TS]

00:12:48 ◼   ► Developer Program the the VP who's responsible for that is Phil Schiller [TS]

00:12:53 ◼   ► and Phil Schiller does a lot and it's kind of it's kind of hard for people [TS]

00:12:59 ◼   ► like us on the outside to really get that great of an idea of what exactly [TS]

00:13:03 ◼   ► Phil Schiller doesn't and how much she does but from what we can tell it seems [TS]

00:13:08 ◼   ► like he does a quite a bit and so things like like you know whether developers [TS]

00:13:14 ◼   ► can do XY or Z or getting the kind of attention they they want he might not [TS]

00:13:21 ◼   ► have time to care about that [TS]

00:13:23 ◼   ► throughout the entire rest of the year that's not to BBC week in scale study [TS]

00:13:28 ◼   ► there like he's not a tech guy you know not that nothing has to be there in [TS]

00:13:31 ◼   ► their fixing the service but it kind of like organization you would expect in an [TS]

00:13:35 ◼   ► organization responsible for some really important piece of server-side software [TS]

00:13:38 ◼   ► is important to the business would have come from the technical side then it [TS]

00:13:43 ◼   ► wouldn't be the guy would be marketing well but anybody does he know marketing [TS]

00:13:47 ◼   ► I think it isn't giant quotes there because he does so many other things [TS]

00:13:50 ◼   ► like he's he's involved with a lot of different things the company's product [TS]

00:13:55 ◼   ► design market like much more so than regular martini but not he's not a craig [TS]

00:13:59 ◼   ► Venter here for trying so they are anything like he didn't come up now that [TS]

00:14:02 ◼   ► you know that even like i mean any cute started charging the iTunes Store so [TS]

00:14:09 ◼   ► maybe did he come from engineering background but if you like that team [TS]

00:14:14 ◼   ► like knows that they're responsible for online services whereas developer [TS]

00:14:17 ◼   ► relations probably within Apple as seeing as a wing of the company that [TS]

00:14:23 ◼   ► relates to people versus we run web services but developer relations does [TS]

00:14:27 ◼   ► run web services in their important web services those kind of schizophrenic [TS]

00:14:30 ◼   ► relating to people who need to make people happy it's like a customer [TS]

00:14:35 ◼   ► relationship management type role but this is under part of its Web Services [TS]

00:14:38 ◼   ► and it's really important so you have to have part of the team that in that area [TS]

00:14:42 ◼   ► versus people who run iTunes like look we're running a gigantic web store and [TS]

00:14:46 ◼   ► there may be some sort of relating to customers involved in that but really [TS]

00:14:49 ◼   ► burn online services think so and he was like I don't know she's in charge of [TS]

00:14:53 ◼   ► that whole thing ever said the org chart up I think he's the head honcho and try [TS]

00:14:58 ◼   ► to all that is that's what I thought I I think it's it's worth considering [TS]

00:15:03 ◼   ► whether I hate I hate to use the freezing it's time for a political [TS]

00:15:08 ◼   ► outlook that's like a crappy headline thing but do you think Apple needs [TS]

00:15:12 ◼   ► somebody at that as VP level representing the developers developers [TS]

00:15:18 ◼   ► and defend the App Store almost exclusively or primarily at least that's [TS]

00:15:22 ◼   ► what they do is right now you know Phil Schiller I think probably as too much on [TS]

00:15:25 ◼   ► his plate to be that guy you know do you think I mean what are you doing pretty [TS]

00:15:33 ◼   ► well but it's it's hard to argue that will surely change anything about what [TS]

00:15:37 ◼   ► they do because we're doing pretty well set up now but you know you look at [TS]

00:15:43 ◼   ► things like like the App Store and the App Store has always looked like it has [TS]

00:15:48 ◼   ► way fewer people working for that really does it has and there there are certain [TS]

00:15:53 ◼   ► things that [TS]

00:15:53 ◼   ► about it that have lasted way longer than they should have never changed for [TS]

00:15:59 ◼   ► instance the category list the app category list is really weird and most [TS]

00:16:05 ◼   ► of those categories reveille when the App Store launched most of the App [TS]

00:16:09 ◼   ► Store's mechanics most of the layout most of the most of the things we think [TS]

00:16:14 ◼   ► we know as the after today almost all of that was there on day 10 of 56 years ago [TS]

00:16:21 ◼   ► however many years ago 2008 was and so it seems like you you you obviously like [TS]

00:16:28 ◼   ► you look at at pages you look at what Google has done to the Play Store in the [TS]

00:16:36 ◼   ► same time or less time actually think and you can see I mean obviously they [TS]

00:16:41 ◼   ► have a whole bunch of issues themselves and certainly not perfect over there by [TS]

00:16:45 ◼   ► any means but they've they've had a lot of features that are really nice to have [TS]

00:16:50 ◼   ► some that aren't a lot they're really nice to have an Apple has done very [TS]

00:16:55 ◼   ► little of that sort of thing you know there's there's things that developers [TS]

00:16:59 ◼   ► are always posting blog post myself included for always putting blog posts [TS]

00:17:02 ◼   ► about you know if you could change one little thing or add this one feature it [TS]

00:17:06 ◼   ► would make such a big difference and those kind of changes almost never [TS]

00:17:10 ◼   ► happened in the App Store I think you might want to talk about something [TS]

00:17:14 ◼   ► that's awesome but you talking about bloggers that are saying if only this [TS]

00:17:20 ◼   ► one thing happened it would be so much better made me think of it underscores [TS]

00:17:24 ◼   ► article about upgrade pricing which i think is worth talking yeah definitely [TS]

00:17:27 ◼   ► so we'll get to that in a minute first me tell you about something we like this [TS]

00:17:32 ◼   ► is an app that you've probably heard of but amazingly as far as I know the [TS]

00:17:38 ◼   ► developer has not sold like three hundred million copies of how many iOS [TS]

00:17:41 ◼   ► devices are there three hundred million a lot more than that now a lot as far as [TS]

00:17:47 ◼   ► I know he hasn't sold three million copies it's so our job is not done yet [TS]

00:17:51 ◼   ► this act is called drafts and by advil tortoise and draft it's it's kind of [TS]

00:17:58 ◼   ► hard to describe what it is in a way that makes you realize how good it is [TS]

00:18:03 ◼   ► but I'll give it a shot [TS]
