you know if only you had a picture management's yeah nice we should I go
[TS]
00:00:08
◼
►
for another hour let's do that last week we talked about the problem of disabling
[TS]
00:00:14
◼
►
turning on the reduced motion thing and if you turn it off then you get a
[TS]
00:00:20
◼
►
parallax effect and it seems in your background image and it was cutting off
[TS]
00:00:23
◼
►
my background image that I want to use my dog was talking about if I could
[TS]
00:00:27
◼
►
extend the the background of the image of my dog to make the image bigger so
[TS]
00:00:33
◼
►
kind of look like I get the same crop as I had with reduced motion on and off a
[TS]
00:00:38
◼
►
few different pictures and imagine using Content Aware Fill to try to find
[TS]
00:00:41
◼
►
something I did that
[TS]
00:00:42
◼
►
Content Aware Fill is not magic worked ok I tried touching up and I made a
[TS]
00:00:47
◼
►
version that was extended a little bit boring grade and then a lot of people
[TS]
00:00:51
◼
►
recommended to me and iOS app called auntie cropped wow that's probably about
[TS]
00:00:56
◼
►
the same as Content Aware Fill but that was not the case of work way better than
[TS]
00:01:00
◼
►
Content Aware Fill obviously photoshopped head of someone who knows
[TS]
00:01:03
◼
►
what they're doing
[TS]
00:01:04
◼
►
might be better than any crap but for me you just want to spend two minutes in
[TS]
00:01:09
◼
►
antique and craft as possible and extended in my god oh yeah that's what I
[TS]
00:01:13
◼
►
just didn't finish above last five minutes of this is a better job so I was
[TS]
00:01:17
◼
►
impressed by that but of course indecrompt as same limitations as
[TS]
00:01:21
◼
►
Content Aware Fill Photoshop that it has no idea what the dog looks like my dog
[TS]
00:01:25
◼
►
is going off topic but it's going off the top and right edges of the screen so
[TS]
00:01:30
◼
►
neither one of these parties going to draw the rest of the dog it'll draw the
[TS]
00:01:34
◼
►
rest of the deck which is pretty regular straight lines and you know a single
[TS]
00:01:37
◼
►
color and stuff like that but it cannot draw the rest of the dog until new
[TS]
00:01:40
◼
►
Photoshop cs2 so someone named Jim Pearce on Twitter said hey I'm the
[TS]
00:01:47
◼
►
visual effects artist you want me to extend the picture of a dog that had
[TS]
00:01:50
◼
►
that it has entered the picture he sent it back to me and he did an amazing job
[TS]
00:01:54
◼
►
extended not only the the deck edges but also the dog because he knows what it
[TS]
00:01:59
◼
►
looks like so once again humans triumph over computers
[TS]
00:02:03
◼
►
his website he believed his hat and suitcase dot com his portfolio
[TS]
00:02:08
◼
►
everything up there but I'm not sure off all used the picture because I I just
[TS]
00:02:12
◼
►
couldn't stand the parallax stuff like I even with even with the picture cropped
[TS]
00:02:17
◼
►
looking right the dialog box is still move and the icons on the home screen
[TS]
00:02:21
◼
►
still move my background is black but I can still move on the black background
[TS]
00:02:25
◼
►
that I can see it then addressed me not so I'm still in reduce motion land
[TS]
00:02:29
◼
►
despite the fact that I don't like the crossroads yes what he say that so my
[TS]
00:02:34
◼
►
friend Chris Harris who I believe both you got some mad he works for the other
[TS]
00:02:38
◼
►
media and has been making a few waves lately for being the head of the company
[TS]
00:02:44
◼
►
or product called glide which down Apple's using for his rebooted loop
[TS]
00:02:50
◼
►
magazine one place he saw me or heard me complaining about the same issue and did
[TS]
00:02:55
◼
►
some sort of Photoshop magic on my picture of Erin that I took in 2008 and
[TS]
00:03:00
◼
►
extended was taken in our kitchen so he extended all the bits that are easy to
[TS]
00:03:05
◼
►
extend and that was the first time I'd seen any instance of Content Aware Fill
[TS]
00:03:10
◼
►
in my world I'd seen the original video from wet whenever few years ago when
[TS]
00:03:15
◼
►
this this concept was kind of invented and my goodness it it worked flawlessly
[TS]
00:03:21
◼
►
and looks really good it it's kind of creepy how good it can just invent
[TS]
00:03:26
◼
►
something out of nothing so I was very impressive think thanks Chris for that
[TS]
00:03:29
◼
►
and then I guess something happened with links and Mavericks is a huge on this
[TS]
00:03:35
◼
►
thing we talked about a couple shows maybe way back to the beginning and
[TS]
00:03:41
◼
►
remembering which podcast was on I mentioned that I had little folder or
[TS]
00:03:45
◼
►
little tag set and your Jimbo where I keep my starting point at my notes for
[TS]
00:03:50
◼
►
each new version of OS 10 and I have to make those notes before I know the name
[TS]
00:03:55
◼
►
of the OS would be and I was guessing for the name them
[TS]
00:03:57
◼
►
there and and for 10.9 I made a link sold out why an axe and not necessarily
[TS]
00:04:05
◼
►
because I thought that would be the name of the next big cat think I've always
[TS]
00:04:08
◼
►
thought like working to go from a lion and you know you're not online seemed
[TS]
00:04:11
◼
►
kinda lame but as i grateful they're done you know it can possibly be a
[TS]
00:04:14
◼
►
capital was a cat that should be links and spiro links and then of course is
[TS]
00:04:19
◼
►
called mary has a big cats but this past week I did get a tip that Apple was at
[TS]
00:04:26
◼
►
the very least investigating the word links if they were to go with cat names
[TS]
00:04:31
◼
►
would of course they didn't in the end so I still feel slightly vindicated in
[TS]
00:04:34
◼
►
my instincts for lexical mountain lion I dunno if you would force me to guess I
[TS]
00:04:41
◼
►
would have said was going to be some sort of thing I mountain lion or
[TS]
00:04:43
◼
►
something like that you know I feel like I have a good sense of what the cats
[TS]
00:04:47
◼
►
could be I think we talked about this and other recent talk show more about
[TS]
00:04:50
◼
►
the Catholic but anyway I am I feel good knowing that links was in play and that
[TS]
00:04:55
◼
►
it could have been a 10.9 name and I would have been perfectly happy with it
[TS]
00:04:58
◼
►
but we're on to the place in california's that's why it's funny
[TS]
00:05:03
◼
►
because the show notes the only entry is OS 10 10.9 ly an axe and I assumed this
[TS]
00:05:09
◼
►
was sent you going this is going to be you lamenting the lack of the web
[TS]
00:05:13
◼
►
browser or something changing about the web browser and in Mavericks and I'll be
[TS]
00:05:17
◼
►
lowering links friend and I i wasnt stolid startling son do you test your
[TS]
00:05:27
◼
►
website so I don't know occasionally find myself firing it up even sister on
[TS]
00:05:34
◼
►
links dashed as dumper something I use it on you would I even used it
[TS]
00:05:43
◼
►
ok so the other big news that just happen this week and then I think we
[TS]
00:05:47
◼
►
have a tremendous amount of average review related follow-up is ever picks
[TS]
00:05:53
◼
►
folded which I'm really really really disappointed by after listening to I
[TS]
00:05:59
◼
►
don't recall what episode it was at the prompt and I don't think it is in the
[TS]
00:06:02
◼
►
chat to correct me Bradley chambers came on the prompt to talk about photo
[TS]
00:06:07
◼
►
management which is something I've classically been very bad at
[TS]
00:06:10
◼
►
and said Oh you should really try to ever pics it's it's really good bond so
[TS]
00:06:15
◼
►
I tried it and decided it is really good and actually paid for your subscription
[TS]
00:06:18
◼
►
and it turns out that they have just decided to close their clothes their
[TS]
00:06:25
◼
►
business and I'm very sad about that and I don't know what you guys have to add
[TS]
00:06:29
◼
►
certainly there's some things we can talk about here in the show notes but
[TS]
00:06:32
◼
►
John it seems like you've taken a keen interest in this
[TS]
00:06:35
◼
►
yeah I signed up forever pics like a lot of people looking for some way to deal
[TS]
00:06:43
◼
►
with all my pictures to give me a little more security and all paranoid Neville
[TS]
00:06:46
◼
►
these multiple backs of my pictures but the thing about every picture is like
[TS]
00:06:49
◼
►
will star only pictures for you will suck them out from all the places where
[TS]
00:06:53
◼
►
they are so didn't wanna like own the pictures it was like will pull them out
[TS]
00:06:56
◼
►
an iPhone will pull off your phone open from wherever and will start in forever
[TS]
00:07:02
◼
►
and there's no limit and the price was like 50 bucks a year something so like
[TS]
00:07:06
◼
►
I'll pay $50 for one year just to try this thing out to see if it'll give me
[TS]
00:07:10
◼
►
like you know fourth or fifth backup my stuff and the fringe benefits of it
[TS]
00:07:15
◼
►
where that I had access to all my pictures from any device that could run
[TS]
00:07:20
◼
►
a web browser and there was a nice I was up as well so the some picture on the
[TS]
00:07:24
◼
►
right to see from like seven years ago or something I'm not gonna have it on my
[TS]
00:07:27
◼
►
phone because I can't have all my photos on my phone and you know if I didn't
[TS]
00:07:31
◼
►
pick that one it's gonna be there and wait till I get home and go through my
[TS]
00:07:33
◼
►
iPhoto library something whatever pics gave me access from anywhere to all my
[TS]
00:07:37
◼
►
pictures and you could easily like give 404 resolution download links to two
[TS]
00:07:43
◼
►
relatives if they wanted all I need to do to print throw all this picture of
[TS]
00:07:47
◼
►
whatever it was just it was convenient it's the way you know whatever you say
[TS]
00:07:52
◼
►
about everything now they're gonna like this is the way and search company
[TS]
00:07:56
◼
►
should should do photo mansion whether it's Google or Microsoft or Apple
[TS]
00:07:59
◼
►
anybody and actually cool sort of comes close to this with their with their
[TS]
00:08:02
◼
►
photo stuff but they don't have as many hooks into Apple's applications right
[TS]
00:08:06
◼
►
you don't have to worry about your photos they're all in the cloud will
[TS]
00:08:11
◼
►
save them all for you forever storage unlimited the pricing is reasonable
[TS]
00:08:15
◼
►
you have access to them anywhere so it was great and mostly I didn't think
[TS]
00:08:22
◼
►
about too much about it but I'm gonna try this for a year and it seems like it
[TS]
00:08:27
◼
►
works out just after months of trying the whole year and had a gun to the
[TS]
00:08:32
◼
►
whole year probably would have signed up for it again if only for just like I
[TS]
00:08:35
◼
►
don't like even if they didn't store them but somehow gave me a magical
[TS]
00:08:39
◼
►
access to data from everywhere but like you know telling through my own computer
[TS]
00:08:42
◼
►
something new just great to have access to them and there was a feature that
[TS]
00:08:45
◼
►
lets talks about a lot less treatment of the impression of podcast and other
[TS]
00:08:50
◼
►
things that he liked the the flashback emails it would send you would send you
[TS]
00:08:54
◼
►
an email like a visit what happened a year ago today two years ago as a three
[TS]
00:08:58
◼
►
years ago today and if you don't have kids you may think well nothing happened
[TS]
00:09:02
◼
►
three years ago to be able to have kids to take pictures in the young take
[TS]
00:09:04
◼
►
pictures like every single day and so it's kind of nice to see on this day in
[TS]
00:09:08
◼
►
history when your kids were three years younger
[TS]
00:09:10
◼
►
the pictures you took and I thought that was a little bit silly and I didn't sign
[TS]
00:09:15
◼
►
up for the emails sent need to get in the morning else but occasionally when
[TS]
00:09:17
◼
►
I'm flipping around my phone or go to the other pics after look at the
[TS]
00:09:20
◼
►
flashback and it was cute and enjoyable but alas the company is gone and they're
[TS]
00:09:26
◼
►
supposedly refunding the paraded amounts for the people who subscribe to their
[TS]
00:09:32
◼
►
descriptions were not be at and I think it's sad for everyone involved because
[TS]
00:09:35
◼
►
trust talk about everybody said this you know Apple AAPL should by these
[TS]
00:09:40
◼
►
companies build a bunch max apple people they're doing things better than Apple
[TS]
00:09:43
◼
►
does I don't understand why Apple can do it they're doing or couldn't do it
[TS]
00:09:47
◼
►
they're doing but they're not so wrong just by this company into it and that
[TS]
00:09:52
◼
►
didn't work out nobody wanted to buy them because they tried to sell
[TS]
00:09:54
◼
►
themselves they had you know a couple of close calls but no takers and they just
[TS]
00:09:59
◼
►
ran out of money
[TS]
00:10:01
◼
►
yeah you know when it's funny that you mention the daily flashback email
[TS]
00:10:04
◼
►
because when I started the trial with ever picks which would give you i think
[TS]
00:10:09
◼
►
a year photos and then you can pull my curly in you know sell your soul in
[TS]
00:10:13
◼
►
order to get more free
[TS]
00:10:15
◼
►
more more time for free well they even the the one year of flashbacks even for
[TS]
00:10:21
◼
►
a person who doesn't have children I thought was really cool and men as soon
[TS]
00:10:25
◼
►
as I signed up for the full year like you dated and started getting the
[TS]
00:10:29
◼
►
flashback emails from as much as like 10 or 12 or whatever years ago it was the
[TS]
00:10:33
◼
►
neatest thing to be able to see and I found myself I realized that I was
[TS]
00:10:37
◼
►
sending pictures to like Aaron and my friends of a look we're doing six years
[TS]
00:10:41
◼
►
ago and I was probably getting to the point that I was becoming a spambot hand
[TS]
00:10:46
◼
►
it's probably for the best in my personal relationships that ever picks
[TS]
00:10:50
◼
►
is going away but the the point in driving out is that the flashback emails
[TS]
00:10:53
◼
►
were incredible
[TS]
00:10:54
◼
►
even as someone who doesn't have kids and you had mentioned being able to get
[TS]
00:11:00
◼
►
to your pictures from basically anywhere and not unlike Mike I was one of those
[TS]
00:11:05
◼
►
people who had a camera roll three gazillion pictures in the reason I did
[TS]
00:11:09
◼
►
that even though I had gotten them off my phone and onto my computer I always
[TS]
00:11:14
◼
►
wanted to be able to show a friend or someone I just met or family member a
[TS]
00:11:21
◼
►
picture if I felt the need so for example if I'm talking about when Marco
[TS]
00:11:26
◼
►
and Tiffany and I went to Germany I want to be able to have those pictures always
[TS]
00:11:29
◼
►
or mine or the top your parties that we throw or whatever the case may be I want
[TS]
00:11:34
◼
►
to be able to show someone those pictures and whatever pics I could do
[TS]
00:11:38
◼
►
that and I didn't have to have a camera roll that was three thousand pictures
[TS]
00:11:43
◼
►
which is literally what I had and now I I don't really have a solution for that
[TS]
00:11:48
◼
►
at the moment and perhaps in in a minute we'll talk about some of the
[TS]
00:11:52
◼
►
alternatives but it seems like from what I've gathered there's no clear winner
[TS]
00:11:56
◼
►
and the other thing that I thought was interesting about this I don't think it
[TS]
00:12:02
◼
►
would have worked because it's too fiddly but I was surmising on Twitter
[TS]
00:12:05
◼
►
earlier it what would have happened if you could provide your own storage but
[TS]
00:12:11
◼
►
after pics provided the software so I'm thinking kind of along the line kind of
[TS]
00:12:17
◼
►
a cross maybe between file transporter of past sponsor the show and the fever
[TS]
00:12:23
◼
►
RSS reader where where it's it you need a web web server that you install their
[TS]
00:12:28
◼
►
software
[TS]
00:12:29
◼
►
we're on at least that's what it was originally made up anymore or even like
[TS]
00:12:32
◼
►
the backup app for Mac where which uses s3 as a store around you but you provide
[TS]
00:12:37
◼
►
will so you're you're the cost and they just sell you the at right is always
[TS]
00:12:43
◼
►
wonder if if S three bills weren't an issue for ever picks could they have
[TS]
00:12:49
◼
►
survived in and both bradley steven Hackett who I was talking I was
[TS]
00:12:54
◼
►
exchanging tweets with you know of course called me out and rightfully so
[TS]
00:12:57
◼
►
saying well then nobody would have bought it because it's way too fiddly
[TS]
00:13:01
◼
►
and that's true but on the other side of the coin I can't help but wonder what
[TS]
00:13:04
◼
►
could have been and it's very easy to be armchair quarterback in this capacity
[TS]
00:13:08
◼
►
but I'm really I'm really really bummed about about what's going what's happened
[TS]
00:13:13
◼
►
with ever picks and I and i wish that Apple had bought them up although John
[TS]
00:13:17
◼
►
you had exchanged a few tweets with I guess one of the employees one of the
[TS]
00:13:20
◼
►
founders I don't know if you want to talk about that at all
[TS]
00:13:22
◼
►
yeah so a couple people responding to the news respond to my retweet of her
[TS]
00:13:28
◼
►
four Ever whatever announcement was and more people rely on Twitter said the
[TS]
00:13:31
◼
►
classy thing to do these fail companies to outsource their technology you know
[TS]
00:13:37
◼
►
so that's the stuff that they wrote doesn't just go away like ok well the
[TS]
00:13:40
◼
►
company failed wanna make all your code open source and one of the engineers of
[TS]
00:13:44
◼
►
the company said we wish we could have but we had to settle technology to pay
[TS]
00:13:47
◼
►
for an orderly wind-down in a refund so they already sold like the underlying
[TS]
00:13:52
◼
►
technology I guess and they did that so they would have enough money to keep the
[TS]
00:13:56
◼
►
light on long enough to wind down the service and to give everyone back their
[TS]
00:13:59
◼
►
refunds to pay their bills and you know all the outstanding stuff so they're
[TS]
00:14:03
◼
►
trying to shut the company down a good way like giving you a refund for the
[TS]
00:14:06
◼
►
time that you paid for the you don't get this is Sarah's going away and and do
[TS]
00:14:09
◼
►
all that stuff and to do that apparently they had to sell the tactics of course
[TS]
00:14:13
◼
►
asked who bought it and he said that's currently private so we don't know who
[TS]
00:14:17
◼
►
bought so far we know Apple attack Yahoo bought the TAC Microsoft Google who

already covered by customer income well as three variable costs are out there is

a story they were and so there there's a sort of on the verge that will link to

that that is like kind of like a first-person account of what anyway
[TS]
00:20:07

willing to it and they they mentioned they had a $35,000 to rebuild it was
[TS]
00:20:11
◼

about to come in that was going to be a problem and so anyway I think it's very
[TS]
00:20:17
◼

it's obvious that they were not you know about to be profitable because if they
[TS]
00:20:21

were about to be profitable then it wouldn't be an issue to refund
[TS]
00:20:25
◼

everyone's annual pre purchases because their annual pre purchases would not be

profitable
[TS]
00:20:34

33 times six thousand is not insurmountable with you know another

funding round if they could have got to three times their personnel they spent

00:20:44

the vast majority of the money invested on people so yeah it does not set fixed

costs we have six people who paid him salaries and that's that's where all
[TS]
00:20:51

their money went and so if you can get three times as described her base you

don't need three times the number of employees and you know they would've

business plan which is generally speaking when you're making a new

you know like as as we learned when an underscore David Smith and I thought

00:21:30
◼

kcrw Porto Rico in in the game of Puerto Rico generally speaking you to pick one
[TS]
00:21:37

extreme strategy and stick with it if you try to do like a middle strategy

00:21:41

that combines elements of like a ship a whole lot of good but also gonna build a

bunch of buildings you're not going to either of them long enough to win VC

fund company I mean web services new service like this are kind of similar in
[TS]
00:21:55
◼

in the growth factor versus financing and receive no pay your bills which is
[TS]
00:21:59
◼

you have to either go for something that is very cheap to scale but will attract
[TS]
00:22:07
◼

tons of users very quickly in which case you can pay for it by lots of easy money
[TS]
00:22:11
◼

coming in because you have tons of growth or pick something that's hard and
[TS]
00:22:17
◼

expensive to do like hosting a ton of photos on s3 but don't go into that with
[TS]
00:22:24
◼

a like re-growth base model upfront go into that with more bootstrapping more
[TS]
00:22:28
◼

self financed model witches you shouldn't be losing money on every new
[TS]
00:22:32
◼

customer and ever pics when it and you should also enter that kind of market
[TS]
00:22:38
◼
►
with very low expenses to begin with
[TS]
00:22:40
◼
►
not a big staff not in office you know enter the market with low at low
[TS]
00:22:44
◼
►
expectations of profit for awhile and you know just your costs accordingly and
[TS]
00:22:51
◼

instead ever picks gonna try to ride the middle day there they chose to do
[TS]
00:22:56
◼

something that's very expensive to scale they chose something that it was not
[TS]
00:23:00
◼

likely and maybe this is there I don't think it was ever likely to have booming
[TS]
00:23:05

explosive growth because the market for it is not everyone who ever takes
[TS]
00:23:11

pictures needs this man is driven to do this it's really only people who care
[TS]
00:23:15

about their photo storage and
[TS]
00:23:17
◼

you know enough about photo storage to know why they would need something like
[TS]
00:23:20
◼

this and that is not a big market you know relative to something like
[TS]
00:23:24
◼
►
Instagram and end this I mean to give you some idea like Tumblr like three or
[TS]
00:23:30
◼
►
four years into it had something like 20 terabytes of photos by my math ever
[TS]
00:23:36
◼
►
picks had 400 terabytes or so if there if there are three bill is correct and
[TS]
00:23:43
◼

so obviously they were scaling at a store example that's insane this was one
[TS]
00:23:49
◼
►
of my main things and John to go back to what you were saying about how you know
[TS]
00:23:54
◼

we always photostream kind of worked this way and it doesn't it's because
[TS]
00:23:59

people's photos are can vary so much inside you know the idea of her pics of
[TS]
00:24:04

upload all your photos to assemble store all of them forever that you're talking
[TS]
00:24:10
◼

potentially hundreds of gigs for people or or even terabytes 44 people and
[TS]
00:24:17
◼

that's not that uncommon of a case but Apple could absorb that easily like this
[TS]
00:24:21
◼

company will be profitable with their income stream with three times the
[TS]
00:24:25
◼

number of subscribers and remember like they're doing premium as they take the
[TS]
00:24:28
◼

freemen of the equation even more class to be profitable $50 a year Apple just
[TS]
00:24:33
◼

add $30 year spread across all its profitable product lines like you
[TS]
00:24:38
◼

wouldn't even notice that and who knows how much money they're already spending
[TS]
00:24:41
◼

to do photostream it seems like you know i feel like im like Apple with their
[TS]
00:24:45
◼

margins in their profits and what they're already doing could easily
[TS]
00:24:49

absorb this business a six-person start up with a freemium model where they have

55,000 customers but only you know 70,000 are paying can't absorb it and
[TS]
00:24:58

then they can they came closer they are one more funding round which they might

have gotten that they might have gotten the time around they had started this

00:25:05

company ten years ago released harder to get funding that caused people want to

00:25:08
◼

see you know Instagram or something and if they don't like math funding them no
[TS]
00:25:12
◼

I mean the problem is that they were never gonna have the rate of growth
[TS]
00:25:17
◼

needed to get tons of VC money to pay these ridiculous costs like they are
[TS]
00:25:21

if the whole point your services include everything in her shot like when you

first start using it then your storage needs don't grow slowly over time as

of my best of kumar they have like five or six people so if you took away ninety

percent of their storage cause they would be fine it's the freemium guys

that killed them because they said hey sign for free upload your photos and you

that I really take issue with us on the market said a few minutes ago which is
[TS]
00:29:15
◼

you know this isn't for everyone and i actually strongly disagree I think ever

picks in principle was maybe not literally for everyone but was for any

a backup in John I completely agree with what you said a while back that this is

just one leg in a chair that holds up all of your all of your pictures and
[TS]
00:30:06

make sure they're safe but it was it it's a very easy way to do that and if

you think about it I don't think most people that I know use a crash plan or

back please or anything like that and so getting all of your pictures into the

00:30:19
◼

cloud is such an improvement over having no backup or just having time machine

it's not it's not it's not for everyone in this sense the Markham as it is not

that everyone can benefit from this because they can it's that it's not of

you wanted if you for everyone doesn't mean like if I were a difference to have

00:30:59

this day we get benefit everyone would get benefit from the question is is this
[TS]
00:31:03
◼

a type of product that if you talk to describe to anyone they are merely says
[TS]
00:31:07
◼

oh yeah I totally would like that and yeah here's a few dollars and yes that
[TS]
00:31:10
◼

was definitely no because this type of thing that people don't really know that
[TS]
00:31:12
◼

they need and it's also the type of thing that we've been conditioned by
[TS]
00:31:16
◼

sort of modern computing platforms to assume is a platform level concern my
[TS]
00:31:21
◼
►
car doesn't take care of that for me it doesn't Google take care of that for me
[TS]
00:31:24
◼

and it really properly should be a platform levinson which is why I kept
[TS]
00:31:28
◼

saying someone should I ever picks because it's like you know is the type
[TS]
00:31:32
◼
►
of third party thing we like whoever my platform vendor is should be providing
[TS]
00:31:38
◼
►
some way for me to do this weather is paying for iCloud storage or you know as
[TS]
00:31:42
◼
►
part of my really expensive phone or as part of my Google account they get all
[TS]
00:31:46
◼

their personal information or would like it should be a platform level concern
[TS]
00:31:49
◼

and so people aren't going to say I'll pay extra 50 bucks to this other
[TS]
00:31:53
◼

companies
[TS]
00:31:54
◼

this thing that yeah I make it valuable but it's not something that the only
[TS]
00:31:57
◼

people who really bothered by the crazy people like us who think about backups
[TS]
00:32:00
◼

and stuff and that's the terrible thing about every basis most people don't
[TS]
00:32:05
◼

think they need this at all even though they do and if you gave it to them for
[TS]
00:32:08
◼
►
free they would probably enjoy it but they're not going to go out and buy it
[TS]
00:32:11
◼
►
and if you have something people are going to go out and buy you basically
[TS]
00:32:13
◼

have a business that's quote unquote not for everyone because everyone does not
[TS]
00:32:17
◼

come to you to buy it and it's a subtle distinction but it's an important one
[TS]
00:32:20

when you're sitting there waiting for the customers to arrive
[TS]
00:32:23
◼

also I want to address 22 quick follow-up here one the idea that Apple
[TS]
00:32:28
◼
►
should just do this for everyone it is to put it bluntly it is not that easy
[TS]
00:32:34
◼
►
because Apple is so big and the number of iOS devices being used in having
[TS]
00:32:40
◼
►
Photoshop them is so large that like s3 isn't big enough for that
[TS]
00:32:45
◼

like that's the kind of scalar talking about their too big for s3 and doing
[TS]
00:32:50
◼
►
doing something like this on Apple scale is such a completely different ball game
[TS]
00:32:55
◼
►
then doing it on the scale of a new web service with with you know 10,000 50,000
[TS]
00:33:00
◼
►
whenever users this is it's not even close to the same game number two the
[TS]
00:33:06
◼
►
idea that a startup is only worth it is worth a lot less once they've made any
[TS]
00:33:12
◼
►
money at all is mostly not true in practice in practice growth matters
[TS]
00:33:17
◼
►
above above everything even if you aren't making a whole lot of money right
[TS]
00:33:21
◼
►
now if you are getting user growth trafficker of the tension growth but
[TS]
00:33:26
◼
►
especially user growth that papers over everything that's what the entire VC
[TS]
00:33:31
◼
►
road as is based on is just the stock market is the potential for future money
[TS]
00:33:35
◼
►
and if you've made some money now but it it's been disappointing but your user of
[TS]
00:33:39
◼
►
this totally through the roof that doesn't mean you're worthless it means
[TS]
00:33:42
◼
►
you didn't try to write business plan yet arrived revenue plan yet but that
[TS]
00:33:46
◼
►
doesn't mean there isn't one if you have user growth PCs will give you money .
[TS]
00:33:50
◼
►
yeah but like the easiest way to get that explosive growth in to make people
[TS]
00:33:54
◼
►
believe that there's going to be explosive growth is to not charge any
[TS]
00:33:58
◼
►
money money friendly because then people will truly believe all this can scale to
[TS]
00:34:02
◼
►
all the people who have computers as soon as you charge any money for anybody
[TS]
00:34:05
◼
►
for anything
[TS]
00:34:06
◼
►
like well that automatically puts a cap on your potential growth rate because
[TS]
00:34:09
◼
►
you're asking for money . totally agree but if I'm saying if your actual growth
[TS]
00:34:14
◼
►
rate is really good regardless of where they are charging for anything if your
[TS]
00:34:17
◼
►
actual growth rate is is consistently good you'll keep getting VC money and
[TS]
00:34:22
◼
►
that's why BC funded companies are we always give everything away for free
[TS]
00:34:25
◼

because you're correct that since the whole game is based on growth for as
[TS]
00:34:29
◼
►
long as possible
[TS]
00:34:30
◼
►
the last thing you want to do is inhibit growth by charging money for any part of
[TS]
00:34:34
◼
►
the product growth rate was not great and they kept telling their conversion
[TS]
00:34:38
◼

rate was very good but your conversion rate doesn't matter if you're converting
[TS]
00:34:40

that right yeah okay and those are the three that were where Gianmarco if you
[TS]
00:38:11

have anything to add about those three but those are the ones that are the
[TS]
00:38:14
◼

obvious ones rebels interesting I I have a brief a conflict of interest and that
[TS]
00:38:20
◼
►
they sponsored by sight when it launched travel for like something like eight
[TS]
00:38:23
◼
►
weeks in a row but
[TS]
00:38:26
◼
►
it's it's an interesting product I think it it seems as though a dubious not
[TS]
00:38:30
◼

paying attention to it recently and maybe I don't know Adobe it seems like
[TS]
00:38:35

the Lightroom team is rocking it with with the success of Lightroom and I wish
[TS]
00:38:40
◼
►
these things were just part of Lightroom and it seems like there's no good reason
[TS]
00:38:43
◼
►
or rather have a good reason but I wish revel was just like a Lightroom cloud
[TS]
00:38:50
◼
►
and it's not it's a separate thing you can publish to it but it doesn't it
[TS]
00:38:53
◼
►
doesn't store Roth and stuff like dad and and it kinda tries to bridge the gap
[TS]
00:38:58
◼
►
between consumer and pro- and and doesn't really satisfy either of them
[TS]
00:39:02
◼
►
amazingly and so it's kind of an odd product and it seems like it's kind of
[TS]
00:39:08
◼
►
getting lost and those complexity but I'm what I would love really is
[TS]
00:39:12
◼
►
Lightroom cloud like I would pay a good price for that basically have the Revel
[TS]
00:39:21
◼
►
ability to store them online just have some nails and stuff on iOS devices and
[TS]
00:39:26
◼
►
be able to download anything by tapping it to have that but integrated fully
[TS]
00:39:30
◼
►
with Lightroom and and sporting raw that would be amazing but doesn't exist I
[TS]
00:39:38
◼
►
haven't tried any of these services you there although I did look at all their
[TS]
00:39:42
◼
►
pages and the one thing they all have in common is much higher prices than ever
[TS]
00:39:45
◼
►
picks so take take that for whatever you will
[TS]
00:39:49
◼
►
chances of surviving better than ever picks but they were so mean I don't know
[TS]
00:39:53
◼
►
if anything even have a freemium model I think they'll just charge of practice of
[TS]
00:39:56
◼
►
the games I don't have been investigated but they may be out looking to the mall
[TS]
00:40:00
◼
►
and try but one of the things that I found attractive about every picture was
[TS]
00:40:04
◼
►
that it was so inexpensive it's kind of like the like Backblaze when they first
[TS]
00:40:09
◼
►
came out many many years ago that I call the company will be out of business
[TS]
00:40:11
◼
►
because they charge in like five dollars a month for unlimited backup how can
[TS]
00:40:14
◼
►
that be sustainable and here we are many many years later and they're still
[TS]
00:40:18
◼
►
around and they have competitors and apparently been able to make that work
[TS]
00:40:21
◼
►
wanna go back to bite mark was saying before about how
[TS]
00:40:25
◼
►
Apple scale be much larger I think that's true but never picks said they
[TS]
00:40:31
◼
►
would be profitable three Xe subscriber and that's $50 year per person right so
[TS]
00:40:35
◼
►
Apple will have three thousand three hundred thousand times our subscriber
[TS]
00:40:39
◼
►
aid so presumably if it's profitable three times the rate will be profitable
[TS]
00:40:44
◼
►
300,000 and I think Apple is especially position to be even more cost effective
[TS]
00:40:49
◼
►
in this thing because I had to pay s3 which means Amazon gets to skim some
[TS]
00:40:55
◼
►
profit off the topic is their reasoning storage service Apple presumably would
[TS]
00:41:00
◼
►
implement its own storage solution or have its own already something something
[TS]
00:41:04
◼
►
his own storage so that it doesn't have to give Amazon a some other company a
[TS]
00:41:08
◼
►
piece of its profit and that's even before you get into you know I was
[TS]
00:41:11
◼
►
talking about like ok we'll take some of your massive profit from your other
[TS]
00:41:14
◼
►
product lines and plowed into that which presumably is what they're doing with
[TS]
00:41:18
◼
►
the iCloud storage which must be subsidized by their other products and
[TS]
00:41:21
◼
►
stuff and iCloud storage I don't know how it compares to $50 a year for
[TS]
00:41:26
◼
►
unlimited but again I feel like I've ever pics with their technology that
[TS]
00:41:30
◼
►
they were using was able to be profitable at fifty dollars a year if
[TS]
00:41:33
◼
►
Apple charge $50 a year and they would stop store all your photos in iCloud for
[TS]
00:41:38
◼
►
you and then just put the most recent thousand on your phone or something they
[TS]
00:41:42
◼
►
would have i think a a service that is the very least breaks even if not make a
[TS]
00:41:47
◼
►
profit on someone you know you mean the issue I don't think about profitability
[TS]
00:41:50
◼
►
would just be just dealing with that scale would be a ton of Engineering time
[TS]
00:41:56
◼
►
and and and resources just to deal with the scale not necessarily the raw costs
[TS]
00:42:01
◼
►
of ok we at we're paying for this many servers in this much bandwidth like it
[TS]
00:42:04
◼

it it's not that it's like the massive engineering effort required to operate
[TS]
00:42:08

something about scale where something like three is is really not suitable and

cheap and it does this culture in and text arabs these days that the default
[TS]
00:42:22

of your starting a thing the default answer is it hosted all on Amazon Web
[TS]
00:42:26
◼

Services and that is not cost effective at all for almost anything you do it on
[TS]
00:42:33
◼
►
Amazon Web Services because the scaling is effectively free up to a limit that
[TS]
00:42:38
◼

so hard
[TS]
00:42:39
◼

even tumblr probably hasn't reached yet although Apple I think would with with
[TS]
00:42:44
◼

that data set but you know you're talking on scales very very easily with
[TS]
00:42:51
◼

some of their services
[TS]
00:42:53
◼

ec2 maybe s3 definitely and you pay a big premium for that if you if your
[TS]
00:42:59
◼

entire business like back to back losses based on s3 they would not be able to
[TS]
00:43:05
◼

offer that kind of pricing that play is made very famously made their own
[TS]
00:43:09
◼

storage servers like they design their own storage servers with massive numbers
[TS]
00:43:13
◼
►
are harder I screamed in this case they even open source the design something
[TS]
00:43:16
◼
►
like that and you know they they actually design custom hardware to get
[TS]
00:43:21
◼

tons of storage as cheaply as possible and that's why they can offer that if
[TS]
00:43:27
◼

your entire business is storing a very large amount of data for as little money
[TS]
00:43:33
◼

as possible
[TS]
00:43:34
◼

s3 is not actually a good fit for you that's not going to scale very well but
[TS]
00:43:39
◼

it's the easy you no quick fix up front at least while you figure out whether
[TS]
00:43:42
◼

your business has legs at the problems ever pics did you get in without a big
[TS]
00:43:47
◼

putting a bunch of money down because investor it's like a zero dollars and
[TS]
00:43:53
◼

you put your first bite of storage and you pay for that first bite of storage
[TS]
00:43:56
◼

and you keep going and eventually becomes ridiculous and unsustainable
[TS]
00:43:58
◼
►
because now you're giving all your father Martin's to Amazon but unless you
[TS]
00:44:03
◼

get off the ground for companies like Apple though at a certain point it is
[TS]
00:44:08
◼
►
going to become the price of entry if you are platform vendor my Google
[TS]
00:44:11
◼
►
already there were there like you know people are certain things people to
[TS]
00:44:15
◼
►
start to expect like a long time ago Apple didn't give you an email address
[TS]
00:44:19
◼
►
and nowadays you are the platform vendor even a lot of people don't use it and
[TS]
00:44:23
◼
►
even if your thing doesn't become the most popular e-mail think Apple has to
[TS]
00:44:26
◼
►
offer people a way that like a mac.com and iCloud icon
[TS]
00:44:30
◼
►
is a core part of the business know where they're going through Gmail or
[TS]
00:44:33
◼
►
Hotmail know but it's the price of entry you just have to do that but you're
[TS]
00:44:37
◼
►
gonna have an email application of you know you and so it a certain point I
[TS]
00:44:40
◼
►
hope eventually a price of entry will be of course whoever my platform vendor is
[TS]
00:44:45
◼
►
will store all my pictures for me in the cloud as you know some yearly fee part
[TS]
00:44:51
◼
►
of my cell phone plan you know some way to get enough money to cover the cost
[TS]
00:44:56
◼
►
for that it's it'll become the price of entry because Google is almost already
[TS]
00:45:00
◼
►
doing it and if people get used to that it is terrible for Apple to be like well
[TS]
00:45:05
◼
►
let me show you this diagram showing you where your pictures are and how much
[TS]
00:45:07
◼
►
money you have to pay it and if which device burns down which photos you lose
[TS]
00:45:11
◼
►
it what time just wanna know how to think about it and so if it's difficult
[TS]
00:45:17
◼
►
to do and they can't do it because why would you give Amazon all that money
[TS]
00:45:21
◼
►
Apple supposed to do it themselves Apple has to figure out a way to do it it's
[TS]
00:45:25
◼
►
time is coming where there is gonna have to face the music and just do it all
[TS]
00:45:29
◼
►
over again I make the same argument made last we talked about that which is that
[TS]
00:45:33
◼
►
the reality is that that people's photos and God especially videos are so large
[TS]
00:45:40
◼
►
file size was that you're into pretty severe upstream bandwidth problems and
[TS]
00:45:46
◼
►
data cap problems if you try to do a lot of this like any other one of the
[TS]
00:45:50
◼
►
problems that ever picks had is that for every pics to be useful to you had a lot
[TS]
00:45:56
◼
►
of photos to a lot of people just don't have a fast enough connection to do that
[TS]
00:45:59
◼
►
in a reasonable time its online back that's a problem for a lot of people and
[TS]
00:46:03
◼
►
i think that limitation of just been with not catching up very quickly and
[TS]
00:46:10
◼
►
when it does catch up
[TS]
00:46:11
◼
►
you start getting data caps a fight that you know that's that's all we can be a
[TS]
00:46:15
◼
►
problem and and as bandwidth increases so will photo size and so will the
[TS]
00:46:21
◼
►
amount of videos people take their bandwidth is already running photos and
[TS]
00:46:24
◼
►
video you're still true
[TS]
00:46:26
◼
►
video it's a big problem is getting a long time to get the video and I don't
[TS]
00:46:32
◼
►
think porque videos around the corner but 1080p video was already way too big
[TS]
00:46:35
◼
►
for him I do but I think photos I think we're already there for photos by I
[TS]
00:46:39
◼
►
think anybody with a photo collection
[TS]
00:46:41
◼
►
and anywhere you would call broadband thing is going to take off all your
[TS]
00:46:44
◼
►
photos will eventually go up which is not true video so I think I think we've
[TS]
00:46:48
◼
►
it's kinda like the bullet passed the point where you could download music on
[TS]
00:46:51
◼
►
Napster but you couldn't download feature length movies we're at that
[TS]
00:46:54
◼
►
point you can do
[TS]
00:46:55
◼
►
photos alright if most people don't have brought OJ pics and yes the pictures are
[TS]
00:47:00
◼
►
getting bigger but I think bandwidth is getting bigger faster Minnesota casey
[TS]
00:47:03
◼
►
was LTE nirvana is amazed at speed again something like that for the speed that
[TS]
00:47:09
◼
►
he gets on his phone is sufficient for any photo collection of anybody who's
[TS]
00:47:13
◼
►
been a lot less than a hundred years and you know takes a dozen pictures a day
[TS]
00:47:17
◼
►
and night I think I think we've passed the phone around that activity of some
[TS]
00:47:21
◼
►
extent of the problem but I would say for Apple they can just call we don't
[TS]
00:47:23
◼
►
backup your videos is what can they do with videos 1080p is just too much data
[TS]
00:47:27
◼
►
already from you know maybe maybe when they do teach 265 whatever the neck
[TS]
00:47:33
◼
►
standard is i think thats I got the number right that supposed to give you
[TS]
00:47:36
◼
►
another to access to react compression thing with no loss maybe we start and
[TS]
00:47:40
◼
►
then like LTE becomes common in people's broadband has to at least match out to
[TS]
00:47:44
◼
►
you then maybe we start to enter the promo video but like I said if we ever
[TS]
00:47:47
◼
►
gonna for cage starts all over again but pictures I think I'm gonna probably top
[TS]
00:47:51
◼
►
out at like 30 40 or 50 megapixels like regular people are never going to want
[TS]
00:47:56
◼
►
more pixels than that and their images because of what you gonna do put on the
[TS]
00:47:59
◼
►
side of a building like it's big enough to get 24 by 24 inch printed right and
[TS]
00:48:04
◼
►
so I think that will top out and I think we passed that so you know if available
[TS]
00:48:09
◼
►
to start trying to do it now they're not going to wait until then within carrier
[TS]
00:48:13
◼
►
and its ok now now that we feel like we can so comfortably doing everything
[TS]
00:48:18
◼
►
uploaded whole photo collection an hour now is do they got to start now they
[TS]
00:48:22
◼
►
have started somewhere photostream as just a it's kind of a shame to do a
[TS]
00:48:27
◼
►
solution they should just try to do the whole thing and you know the boys now
[TS]
00:48:32
◼
►
yeah we've spent quite a bit of trash talking about ever pics I think that's
[TS]
00:48:38
◼
►
because I i know i speak for myself and probably both of you that that I'm
[TS]
00:48:42
◼
►
really bummed that left any other thoughts that real quick before we move
[TS]
00:48:46
◼
►
prob matters in the chatroom thinks that upload bandwidth stop problem I point to
[TS]
00:48:50
◼
►
Casey's phone you had good upload speeds around it wasn't just download the UN
[TS]
00:48:54
◼
►
press load speed on that LTE I forget something to try to look but it was
[TS]
00:49:00
◼
►
something to the order of like fifteen 15 which 15 megabits up that's plenty
[TS]
00:49:04
◼
►
and that's on a phone I can everyone will have a phone wireless upload speeds
[TS]
00:49:09
◼
►
are fine
[TS]
00:49:10
◼
►
home broadband tablets be too terrible I know but like if that happens
[TS]
00:49:14
◼
►
home broadband by the people who are selling LCE because like everyone
[TS]
00:49:18
◼
►
already knows they need a cell phone that everyone is eventually get healthy
[TS]
00:49:21
◼
►
self on and that's a bad for cable companies if they can get their acts
[TS]
00:49:24
◼
►
together to get their upload bandwidth better than people realize they have
[TS]
00:49:26
◼
►
faster upload bandwidth from their iPad their iPhone and that's not even a
[TS]
00:49:31
◼
►
problem perhaps respect everyone's taking pictures with their iPhone and
[TS]
00:49:34
◼
►
it's already on LTE you know there you go you upload bandwidth data compliments
[TS]
00:49:39
◼
►
I mean like it's there's not there's no clear path for this immediately like you
[TS]
00:49:45
◼
►
know maybe you know maybe in five years
[TS]
00:49:48
◼
►
typical carrier data caps will be two or three times as high who knows maybe they
[TS]
00:49:52
◼
►
won't be the same or lower
[TS]
00:49:55
◼
►
you know who knows all data caps artificial those who like that that is
[TS]
00:49:58
◼
►
the type of thing that can change without people running new copper or
[TS]
00:50:01
◼
►
putting up new cell towers are doing infrastructure things some someone just
[TS]
00:50:04
◼
►
you know changes the number in a spreadsheet and all of a sudden you're
[TS]
00:50:06
◼
►
allowed to upload I guess not I feel like that's the type of thing that will
[TS]
00:50:11
◼
►
solve it and and sometimes there's also issues with with like radio spectrum
[TS]
00:50:15
◼
►
space and crowding of the towers though i mean they're like none of the scales
[TS]
00:50:18
◼
►
particularly gracefully and all of its controlled by companies that
[TS]
00:50:21
◼
►
historically have not shown much of a willingness to lower prices over time or
[TS]
00:50:26
◼
►
to give you more overtime you never know what's gonna lead though because
[TS]
00:50:29
◼
►
sometimes it's competition amongst the people providing the service will
[TS]
00:50:34
◼
►
compete with each other all files coming now when you do it you know soon as
[TS]
00:50:37
◼
►
filed under seal the cable ppl cranked up their their bandwidth and everything
[TS]
00:50:40
◼
►
you know is that that's one level competition the other level competition
[TS]
00:50:43
◼
►
is if there's something on the net that draws customers customers will you know
[TS]
00:50:48
◼
►
will be will be drawn to it like oh I've gotta have Netflix and Netflix doesn't
[TS]
00:50:53
◼
►
work on time
[TS]
00:50:54
◼
►
able to pick something out of a hat because i dont have enough bandwidth is
[TS]
00:50:57
◼
►
terrible I'm going to find a new ISP assume he has any competition all which
[TS]
00:51:01
◼
►
is another big problem but I'm going to find otherwise even if its wireless or
[TS]
00:51:04
◼
►
WiMAX or whatever the hell is going to be cause I need to watch Netflix and
[TS]
00:51:07
◼
►
then in that case Netflix's the draw so you have forces on both size and I think
[TS]
00:51:12
◼
►
the forces on the side of competition on service providers are so terrible that
[TS]
00:51:16
◼
►
we should be relying on the force
[TS]
00:51:18
◼
►
make this thing on the net the people want and you'll get pissy if they can
[TS]
00:51:22
◼
►
get it and if the part of the thing is so all my photos are backed up and safe
[TS]
00:51:27
◼
►
because I have a decent ISP or my caps are whatever your reason you should
[TS]
00:51:31
◼
►
switch to t-mobile Sprint or whoever the hungry competitors who gives you some
[TS]
00:51:35
◼
►
insane no limit
[TS]
00:51:36
◼
►
you know t-mobile doing like the 200 megabytes tree man with it ever despite
[TS]
00:51:41
◼
►
the incredible dysfunction in our thing I think if you make a product or service
[TS]
00:51:45
◼
►
out there that everybody wants they'll be pissed if they can't get it and
[TS]
00:51:48
◼

they'll be pissed at their carry-on that will look for any alternative that the
[TS]
00:51:50
◼

market opportunity for the people who are currently losing and the market to
[TS]
00:51:54
◼

do something so real-time follow-up from myself I just ran speedtest on my phone
[TS]
00:52:00
◼
►
on LTE and I got 25 megabits down in 15 and told the story at least once or
[TS]
00:52:06
◼

twice before but outside again when I bought our house in 2008 I was arguably
[TS]
00:52:11
◼

more excited about getting files and I was about owning our first home and at
[TS]
00:52:14
◼

that point in time the reasonable mack daddy service was fifteen 15 and that
[TS]
00:52:22
◼

was just 2008 which is just five years ago and on my cellular telephone I just
[TS]
00:52:27
◼

got 2515 at this point where we're past the point which photo uploads are doable
[TS]
00:52:33
◼

over even LTE with the exception of the data caps like we talked about how much
[TS]
00:52:40
◼

do you like not counting uploading photos but just like regular phone use
[TS]
00:52:45
◼

I'd say between one and two gigs and in general month and I don't even know how
[TS]
00:52:49
◼

to be with you cuz I'm on wifi always but somehow or another I find a way it
[TS]
00:52:54

has been a doesn't do sell filtering you for the temple I'm not a week there is
[TS]
00:52:59

no I was gonna say it was like four hundred megs for the months

our second punch this week is FCM space shuttle this is this is interesting this

this is a new title sponsor for us

FSI m.com as in flight simulator Epsom space shuttle is an iOS and Android

flight simulator that is highly realistic and it's designed to simulate

00:53:26

specifically the landing of the USS space shuttle in its final descent into

Kennedy or Edwards Air Force Base when I first saw this as I have a whole app for
[TS]
00:53:40

that and then I tried the app it's incredibly detailed I mean they've gotta
[TS]
00:53:45

read the reviews I mean their views back this up and it's not just you know
[TS]
00:53:48
◼

paying us to say this like this is creepy view on the Mac Observer I'm not
[TS]
00:53:52

really a flight sim person in general but you can look at people who are
[TS]
00:53:56

flight sim people and you can see what they say about this and they just love
[TS]
00:54:02

this thing
[TS]
00:54:03

it simulates various TV special in his new can configure everything you can

00:54:07

challenge yourself you can let me let me turn on a major major turbulence and
[TS]
00:54:13
◼

I'll do it at night with really cloudy visibility and all simulate the failure
[TS]
00:54:17
◼

of one of these instruments or you know the my flaps homework or something like
[TS]
00:54:21
◼

that and I'll have to talk to still try to land it well under these challenging
[TS]
00:54:26
◼

conditions or you can just do it straight and do it under a perfectly
[TS]
00:54:30
◼

clear conditions and try to get it exactly right without running down too
[TS]
00:54:35
◼

hard and putting too much force on the landing gear or you know being unsafe or
[TS]
00:54:40
◼

or missing the glide path things like that it's really interesting like I I
[TS]
00:54:45
◼

didn't realize there is a whole world around this stuff until we receive this
[TS]
00:54:49
◼

app for your review for the spot and I have to admit I'm terrible at it I mean
[TS]
00:54:54
◼

I i've tried and tried and tried to challenge myself and the best I can get
[TS]
00:54:59
◼

is what they call a crash landing which is like that you don't crash but you've
[TS]
00:55:05
◼

landed hard enough
[TS]
00:55:07
◼
►
re no wrong enough they've put too much force on certain parts and it's not
[TS]
00:55:10
◼

proper and could be unsafe so there there's the crash which I haven't done
[TS]
00:55:14
◼

there's the proper land in which I haven't
[TS]
00:55:17

and in the middle there's the crash landing which is what I keep getting
[TS]
00:55:20
◼

it's it's like it's an exercise in precision and just like you know
[TS]
00:55:26
◼

practice and self-control it's really cool the graphics are amazing by the way
[TS]
00:55:29

like this is you know flight sims are always again I don't know that much
[TS]

landing until it tells you that it is technically a crash landing as you just

jammed up the space shuttle into the ground
[TS]
00:56:50
◼

way too fast and you'll get a low-scoring you feel bad but the point
[TS]
00:56:53
◼

is you don't have no idea what do you can immediately pick it up and use it in
[TS]
00:56:56
◼

the one thing I really like about this game is that I hate games with tilt
[TS]
00:56:59
◼
►
controls but this came when you do the tilt controls and I don't have any other
[TS]
00:57:03
◼
►
games but I think they all should now that I've seen it when you tilt the iPad
[TS]
00:57:07
◼
►
the picture stays levels like the horizon stays level with your eyes even
[TS]
00:57:12
◼
►
as you till the iPad and Tilton the iPad is how you control you know nothing from
[TS]
00:57:16
◼
►
left to right but the image on the screen doesn't tell there's nothing
[TS]
00:57:20
◼

worse than playing like a game like this driving games are you try to turn the
[TS]
00:57:22
◼
►
steering wheel and the whole world tilt when you tilt the screen
[TS]
00:57:26
◼
►
I hate all those games this works in that mode if this option to turn on a
[TS]
00:57:29
◼
►
motive that's what you prefer but I vastly prefer the mode where as i turn
[TS]
00:57:32
◼
►
the iPad the horizon does not tell the tilt with me unless until the things
[TS]
00:57:37
◼

like rolling so it's that made it immediately accessible now playing like
[TS]
00:57:42

00:57:47
◼

[TS]
00:57:56
◼

inclement weather or did you download whatever this is a game that if you're
[TS]
00:58:04

you are obsessive flight sends you could I don't know how long will take you
[TS]
00:58:12

00:58:16
◼

that this thing doesn't work in the wind picks up just can you actually do
[TS]
00:58:19
◼
►
perfect landing in perfect weather visibility and no thanks I think that
[TS]
00:58:24
◼
►
would take you a long time so this this is an extremely deep game that
[TS]
00:58:26
◼
►
nevertheless you can pick up and just immediately play and do something with
[TS]
00:58:31
◼
►
it short like if you do a final approach it's it's like enough two minutes worth
[TS]
00:58:34
◼

of gameplay it's not something to be there for seven hours fly across the
[TS]
00:58:38
◼
►
country and Microsoft Flight Simulator you know right that's what I was going
[TS]
00:58:41

00:58:46
◼
►
gamer online depending on who you ask
[TS]
00:58:48
◼
►
in that it's only a couple minutes long and so unlike say flight control which
[TS]
00:58:53
◼
►
is a very great game but could last forever if you do well no matter what
[TS]
00:58:56
◼
►
your gonna win that shuttle so it's a matter of just a couple of minutes it
[TS]
00:59:01
◼
►
really works well when you just have a couple minutes to kill which is when I
[TS]
00:59:04
◼
►
typically play these kinds of short games as the building where the shuttle

00:59:08

questions which I will be to him so did do a fresh install always doing and I
[TS]
00:59:53

[TS]
00:59:58

fresh install and then I would manually bring over all the little files they

were part of the system folder because you know I'd like to thank me later

[TS]
01:00:13
◼

my hand like under the classic ones and be once I started doing the update
[TS]
01:00:17
◼
►
installs and saw that it didn't lose my settings because that was the old slam
[TS]
01:00:20
◼

against classic my glasses if you try to do an update install you could lose some
[TS]
01:00:24
◼

of your settings right over your preferences when they want it was not

[TS]
01:01:22

[TS]
01:01:41
◼

01:01:44
◼

01:01:46
◼

but for computer in my house I won't set my wife's computer to auto-update like
[TS]
01:01:50
◼
►
if I'm not going to be there I decided not to update to these have some
[TS]
01:01:53
◼
►
confidence that updates are being played in some fashion at some point but if I
[TS]
01:01:57
◼
►
have access to the machine anyway I'd rather handle that myself just like you
[TS]
01:02:02
◼
►
know like I wouldn't put my life and art of the day because what are some up
[TS]
01:02:05
◼
►
there and she didn't like it like I wanna I wanna be able to clearly it's
[TS]
01:02:09
◼
►
one that when I'm far away I'd rather just have the others run so I guess it's
[TS]
01:02:13
◼
►
a distance in then what are your thoughts on the early release cycle
[TS]
01:02:17
◼
►
preview I got the impression that you have some concerns at large important
[TS]
01:02:21
◼
►
features will have a hard time fitting in it was mostly mostly the idea that
[TS]
01:02:27
◼
►
people shouldn't feel like it has to do yearly updates just because i OS does
[TS]
01:02:33
◼
►
your the updates just like as if we didn't have yearly updates people would
[TS]
01:02:37
◼
►
say all they're ignoring the Mac and the reason I worry about it is because if
[TS]
01:02:40
◼
►
you're always in the yearly update cycle it's more difficult not impossible but
[TS]
01:02:43
◼
►
more difficult to do
[TS]
01:02:45
◼
►
features that can be done in a year because then you got a sort of like half
[TS]
01:02:49
◼
►
to them while you all the while you're tracking the two versions of OS 10 that
[TS]
01:02:54
◼
►
its slide by underneath you and see which one you can Landon and that is
[TS]
01:02:58
◼
►
little more uncomfortable like well if we had 18 months or even two years we
[TS]
01:03:03
◼
►
could do a really impressive update and in the middle of that a team of the
[TS]
01:03:07
◼
►
two-year cycle we don't really have anything releasable that's worthwhile so
[TS]
01:03:10
◼
►
why bother going through this overhead for each releases overhead for you know
[TS]
01:03:14
◼
►
the process and putting out the end mktg msgs figure out what it is you're going
[TS]
01:03:19
◼
►
to highlight in like a special housing is freezing like your foregoing any
[TS]
01:03:23
◼
►
income that you could have gotten in there so I'll be perfectly fine with
[TS]
01:03:28
◼
►
them sort of slacking off with it I think Apple thinks that they need to do
[TS]
01:03:33
◼
►
every year every year yet a new Mac OS and they're both free and I understand
[TS]
01:03:38
◼
►
why they're doing it I just think that it's actually going to delay some
[TS]
01:03:43
◼
►
interesting new features more so than they would be if the OS 10 releases are
[TS]
01:03:46
◼
►
allowed to come out sort of as they naturally want to make sense
[TS]
01:03:51
◼
►
can you estimate how much time he took on your review
[TS]
01:03:55
◼
►
just track based on when the whining began amount amount online I had a huge
[TS]
01:04:04
◼
►
amount written before I ever went to watc this year than right here in front
[TS]
01:04:09
◼
►
of it had lots of notes and stuff you know things to look into it but like I
[TS]
01:04:14
◼
►
do we know anything before we do anything of substance no I don't think
[TS]
01:04:17
◼
►
we don't even have we didn't have bills but in heaven's name we didn't have like
[TS]
01:04:21
◼

oh here's what's going to be in the OS you know and like insider henceforth in
[TS]
01:04:25
◼

on the ground it's not like there wasn't in all the stories about it here's my
[TS]
01:04:29
◼
►
pin 10.9 there wasn't even like the whole you know when I'm gonna be about
[TS]
01:04:32
◼
►
energy saving that even that big rumor was not in the air before it if you say
[TS]
01:04:36
◼
►
so I don't have much so I guess you could probably track it for him you know
[TS]
01:04:41
◼
►
as soon as the over this is done I not a single reason I haven't created many
[TS]
01:04:45
◼
►
document pretend 10 yet but I guess when I do I'll mention it on the air once I
[TS]
01:04:50
◼
►
have anything to put in document I make it and I'll start adding stuff to it but
[TS]
01:04:53

at the end of a long day at work I don't want to use my brain anymore like its
[TS]
01:06:04
◼

work on not just like to lay my thumbs I'm using my brain and programming like
[TS]
01:06:08
◼

that can that can burn you out and plus and sometimes like that down time I'm
[TS]
01:06:12
◼

sure you know about this like where you spend the day programming right when you
[TS]
01:06:18
◼
►
come home and that break we're not doing anything we're just making dinner and
[TS]
01:06:23
◼
►
you just you know watching some TV show or whatever that's when your brain is
[TS]
01:06:28
◼

working on the program problems that you encounter that day so when you comin the
[TS]
01:06:31
◼
►
next morning
[TS]
01:06:33
◼
►
now you have a much better approach to that problem and it may be occurred to
[TS]
01:06:35
◼
►
you during dinner in the shower in the morning or whatever and if you didn't
[TS]
01:06:39
◼

have that down time if you just SAT there plugging away the problem you

01:06:43
◼

never want to come up with that it's almost like some of those and you know
[TS]
01:06:45
◼
►
what I should stop working soon as soon as I stopped working and I bring showing
[TS]
01:06:49
◼
►
that it became obvious that stupid do it this way and then you go in the next
[TS]
01:06:53
◼
►
morning already that's just dumped out your fingers up up up up up dun dun dun
[TS]
01:06:58
◼
►
I worked on it for three hours before I went home yesterday and got nowhere and
[TS]
01:07:02
◼
►
all I need to do is stop working let me bring still for a couple hours go to
[TS]
01:07:05
◼
►
sleep wake up and you know fifteen minutes of work and it's like yep that's
[TS]
01:07:10
◼
►
what I should've done last night so that's the way I feel and if I if I try
[TS]
01:07:14
◼
►
to take that time my brain was working at work programme problems and so switch
[TS]
01:07:18
◼
►
gears now you gotta work on a whole other thing work work work like you burn
[TS]
01:07:23
◼
►
out so I really tried to save the crunch time for just like a couple of weeks or
[TS]
01:07:29
◼
►
maybe a month of crunch time where it's like know every waking moment after do
[TS]
01:07:32
◼
►
and even then I tried to give myself down time you home sacrificing sleep
[TS]
01:07:36
◼
►
like ok I can stop writing for the night at eleven o'clock when you're watching
[TS]
01:07:39
◼
►
TV and then go to bed because I need that are half as likely to impress
[TS]
01:07:43
◼
►
there's also a little bit of feedback from Michael James Boyle I guess this is
[TS]
01:07:49
◼
►
about the ebook is that right
[TS]
01:07:52
◼
►
asking about like how the eBook stores handle updates on his very bad and the
[TS]
01:07:57
◼
►
question really is if you do stuff to you block you make notes highlights and
[TS]
01:08:02
◼
►
just like that and then you update the ebook how well does eg bookstore
[TS]
01:08:06
◼
►
handle that updating process to lose all your notes all your bookmarks and all
[TS]
01:08:10
◼
►
your highlights and everything
[TS]
01:08:11
◼
►
artists try to incorporate them and so he gave the answer for how I books works
[TS]
01:08:16
◼
►
and he said it does not lose everything you have it tries its best to preserve
[TS]
01:08:20
◼
►
it and doesn't do a good job but it's better than deleting everything so even
[TS]
01:08:25
◼
►
highlights of passages of text that have not changed the highlights will be off
[TS]
01:08:30
◼
►
because they'll be shifted rather text or other things but the house will be
[TS]
01:08:34
◼
►
there on the notes will be there and so you could like in theory if this book
[TS]
01:08:37
◼
►
hasn't changed that much
[TS]
01:08:38
◼
►
manually fix them which is vastly preferable to wiping out everything but
[TS]
01:08:43
◼
►
it's not as great as like we figured out they had a paragraph here so I'm just
[TS]
01:08:47
◼
►
gonna shift all my other highlights down but I can find where they begin running
[TS]
01:08:51
◼
►
diff intelligently in traffic though this was inserted here and then should
[TS]
01:08:55
◼
►
have said something literally just like storing a text offset and land for a
[TS]
01:09:00
◼
►
much better than nothing I mean like for example one of the updates my iBook say
[TS]
01:09:06
◼
►
I did was I changed all the you know the primes and double crimes into girly
[TS]
01:09:10
◼
►
quotes in you know smart apostrophes and everything and that will totally skip
[TS]
01:09:14
◼
►
who was trying to say to track the text of the texts any sort of contraction in
[TS]
01:09:17
◼
►
the quotation mark the Texas different you know like that would totally throw
[TS]
01:09:21
◼
►
off any kind of diff algorithm less than a gram of also smart enough to know this
[TS]
01:09:27
◼
►
character is more or less that 10 so it's very difficult to do this correctly
[TS]
01:09:30
◼
►
but I think Apple solution of doing it badly but attempting it is way better
[TS]
01:09:34
◼
►
than we're used to be the Kindle solution I'm not sure it still is like
[TS]
01:09:37
◼
►
you lose everything
[TS]
01:09:39
◼
