The Accidental Tech Podcast

00:00:01 ◼   ► what does your application have going for a brand was that a hideous icon that [TS]

00:00:05 ◼   ► happens to include feet following following brands like a rebranding [TS]

00:00:13 ◼   ► effort all you've got going for you is the fact that your icon had feet and so [TS]

00:00:17 ◼   ► getting an Orange Julius icon has feet it's like like your own age you're [TS]

00:00:22 ◼   ► you're owning the feet so but what if I don't really need to worry about brand [TS]

00:00:26 ◼   ► recognition because only like three or four hundred people have ever bought the [TS]

00:00:29 ◼   ► damn thing in the first it doesn't matter is not going they're looking for [TS]

00:00:33 ◼   ► the feet that's what you've got his feet and you know I think being whimsical [TS]

00:00:37 ◼   ► like that was your instinct that's what you brought to the application you do [TS]

00:00:40 ◼   ► feed on that terrible icon you brought that they came from you that is your own [TS]

00:00:44 ◼   ► personal creative input into the branding of this application if you got [TS]

00:00:47 ◼   ► some other creative input put it in but don't like I wouldn't just throw that [TS]

00:00:50 ◼   ► away you wanted to feed you got feet I kept his feet [TS]

00:00:55 ◼   ► here's one from John dark spelled with an e at the end of dark it's pretty [TS]

00:01:02 ◼   ► awesome name of the issue really haven't eaten his first name but he brought up [TS]

00:01:07 ◼   ► an interesting point that I think of when we were talking about the Apple [TS]

00:01:11 ◼   ► lightning connector and the upcoming USB connector that we don't know anything [TS]

00:01:17 ◼   ► about other than it's not going to sock and it will be bidirectional wait we [TS]

00:01:20 ◼   ► don't know it's not going to say well it's still very much can suck it I guess [TS]

00:01:24 ◼   ► I suppose but they're saying all the right things about it and when we talked [TS]

00:01:28 ◼   ► about that I was saying like it's hard to think of that connect your doing [TS]

00:01:31 ◼   ► anything except for something like the Lightning connector not exactly but in [TS]

00:01:36 ◼   ► reverse with that but the contacts on the outside and a solid metal thing [TS]

00:01:38 ◼   ► instead of being like micro-usb mini-usb where it took a little bent piece of [TS]

00:01:42 ◼   ► metal crap on the inside because that is very delicate and annoying and crappy [TS]

00:01:47 ◼   ► and it seems crazy to me that they would make a new connector and make it like [TS]

00:01:52 ◼   ► it's like micro USB on our server ssible that's not really great for that [TS]

00:01:57 ◼   ► wouldn't be a very big improvement democracy right I suppose they could [TS]

00:02:00 ◼   ► still do that but anyway this blog post says okay so say my speculation and [TS]

00:02:05 ◼   ► being close to write and produce a connector that is in the style of the [TS]

00:02:11 ◼   ► Lightning connector but isn't obviously not allowed [TS]

00:02:13 ◼   ► connector and say that Apple eventually adopt that because it's a better [TS]

00:02:17 ◼   ► connector than the current full-sized USB input in all their products and all [TS]

00:02:20 ◼   ► that stuff you would end up with the cable like the one that's drawn in this [TS]

00:02:24 ◼   ► blog posted open link yet actually read this post earlier that cable would be [TS]

00:02:29 ◼   ► kind of a nightmare don't sugary cuz it looks like lightning on one end and they [TS]

00:02:34 ◼   ► made a USB connector on the other that looks like lightning but not really like [TS]

00:02:37 ◼   ► it's a little bit thinner and the context or longer and you lose all the [TS]

00:02:41 ◼   ► advantages of the reversible capable of the new USB thing and everything and you [TS]

00:02:46 ◼   ► know consumers would have trouble figuring out which ended which because [TS]

00:02:49 ◼   ► they look so similar and you have a linear revealed in overtime but maybe [TS]

00:02:53 ◼   ► even we were messin up of bleary-eyed in the morning trying to plug something in [TS]

00:02:57 ◼   ► so that's kind of like the the curse of being first for Apple came up with [TS]

00:03:01 ◼   ► lightning connector ball the USB guys kept screwing up their connectors making [TS]

00:03:05 ◼   ► their crappy things and not for a while now I can see Apple's get these great [TS]

00:03:08 ◼   ► connectors on their devices and of course the big fat ugly other end that [TS]

00:03:12 ◼   ► connects your computer is you never get a computer lightning connector right but [TS]

00:03:16 ◼   ► if the new USB connector look something like lightning Apple could find itself [TS]

00:03:19 ◼   ► in a stranger uncomfortable situation and I don't think they can go USB on [TS]

00:03:23 ◼   ► both ends because of all this you know planning they have a lightning connector [TS]

00:03:27 ◼   ► and how it works with all their devices and how that's and change the insides [TS]

00:03:30 ◼   ► will keep him that the characters and all that good stuff well first of all [TS]

00:03:34 ◼   ► I'm guessing that the USB reversible [TS]

00:03:37 ◼   ► to discuss calling it USB Type C as I do we have this unofficial name the type C [TS]

00:03:42 ◼   ► plug [TS]

00:03:43 ◼   ► thanks for the call in the thing that he likes for me [TS]

00:03:46 ◼   ► good so we can go so if this if this type C thing ends up coming out be [TS]

00:03:52 ◼   ► reversible and resembling lightning in its general design I would guess almost [TS]

00:03:58 ◼   ► certainly it would be wider but by a substantial amount to accommodate all [TS]

00:04:03 ◼   ► depends necessary do usb3 at a reasonable cost us money not the [TS]

00:04:08 ◼   ► Lightning country has very very tiny little contact pads and the and then the [TS]

00:04:13 ◼   ► port is required to have these little tiny pins all that signatures Asian I'm [TS]

00:04:18 ◼   ► guessing might run afoul of USB his desire to be super cheap and and [TS]

00:04:24 ◼   ► and to have pretty broad tolerances so that any idiot can make one of these [TS]

00:04:28 ◼   ► connectors or ports and at work I'm guessing the connector would not be [TS]

00:04:33 ◼   ► nearly as small as lightning and that alone would be a pretty big pretty big [TS]

00:04:36 ◼   ► switch also lets you might realistically speaking here like how likely is it that [TS]

00:04:42 ◼   ► the USB people are going to make aspect that's as good as lightning to be [TS]

00:04:46 ◼   ► actually easily confused with it like I'm guessing to be in some way clunkier [TS]

00:04:51 ◼   ► and I love you proven wrong and I hope I am wrong on that but I'm guessing you [TS]

00:04:55 ◼   ► know looking at their history of how they had to do things when they [TS]

00:04:58 ◼   ► prioritize I don't think what they make is going to end up being confusingly [TS]

00:05:03 ◼   ► similar to like Apple's easy Appleby that no matter what the Kinect looks [TS]

00:05:06 ◼   ► like make the plastic gravity in thinking on the Lightning connector just [TS]

00:05:10 ◼   ► massive so that it's like the same size as the current USB connector on a [TS]

00:05:14 ◼   ► lightning cable except maybe there's a little dinky thing so even if they made [TS]

00:05:17 ◼   ► the connectors activism size Apple since it marlys controls the Lightning [TS]

00:05:21 ◼   ► connector market or the people who want to use lighting connectors could dictate [TS]

00:05:24 ◼   ► that the end is not lightning has to be this big fat chunky thing I think also I [TS]

00:05:29 ◼   ► am pretty sure we can safely rule out the the latter two possibilities in [TS]

00:05:34 ◼   ► John's blog post about either Apple basically killing lightning and adopting [TS]

00:05:39 ◼   ► USB or Apple working together with the USB foreign people to to to make one [TS]

00:05:47 ◼   ► better standard together I think we can pretty safely pull those things out as a [TS]

00:05:51 ◼   ► very very unlikely though it up as motivation would be to standardize since [TS]

00:05:56 ◼   ► they they love having their very own connector with their own particular [TS]

00:05:59 ◼   ► attributes they can license accessory manufacturers and all I could see [TS]

00:06:04 ◼   ► exactly because you know that they do make a lot of money off those licensing [TS]

00:06:07 ◼   ► fees and and I think I think more than the money I think the money is a [TS]

00:06:11 ◼   ► secondary concern for them I I think the bigger reason they do is control you [TS]

00:06:16 ◼   ► know they love having control over what their devices can and can't do they love [TS]

00:06:22 ◼   ► having control over what accessories can you can do how they interact with the [TS]

00:06:26 ◼   ► device and then I think they also like that if you make a lightning port device [TS]

00:06:30 ◼   ► it's not going to work on somebody's Android phone you know all these things [TS]

00:06:34 ◼   ► really benefit apple and there's there's really no motivation to change [TS]

00:06:36 ◼   ► and the best thing about it is finally Apple has found a market in a position [TS]

00:06:41 ◼   ► in the market where this lack of compatibility with the other guys does [TS]

00:06:45 ◼   ► not hurt them because back in the day was like whoa real keyboards and mice [TS]

00:06:48 ◼   ► use insert connector here but Apple uses this crazy thing called ADB and so you [TS]

00:06:52 ◼   ► have to buy special Apple keyboard attended by a regular keyboard and [TS]

00:06:56 ◼   ► eventually adopted USB and moralistic and a USB keyboard connected either [TS]

00:07:01 ◼   ► computer so during the whole Mac PC era the Mac was doing that every single area [TS]

00:07:05 ◼   ► where it didn't conform to the rest of the industry now in the portable device [TS]

00:07:11 ◼   ► basin you know the iPod space Apple so dominated the portable music players [TS]

00:07:15 ◼   ► based at 30 pin became sort of the defacto standard and now in the phone [TS]

00:07:18 ◼   ► market people might not buy an iPhone because it doesn't have a big enough [TS]

00:07:21 ◼   ► screen or like some other things like that but I don't think people are saying [TS]

00:07:25 ◼   ► well I was gonna get an iPhone but it doesn't use USB uses this lightning [TS]

00:07:29 ◼   ► connector type thing people may still grab a lightning connector and the cost [TS]

00:07:32 ◼   ► of it but it doesn't hurt them as much as I think all their special Apple [TS]

00:07:36 ◼   ► specific weirdness used to hurt and this Apple always want to have its own weird [TS]

00:07:40 ◼   ► thing but it was the negatives were not overwhelming but kind of must have [TS]

00:07:45 ◼   ► annoyed apple now finally they have the portable device market place where they [TS]

00:07:51 ◼   ► can do their proprietary stuff and only take a min demoted in the market for [TS]

00:07:55 ◼   ► almost non-existent and people just grin and bear it he said that though but [TS]

00:08:00 ◼   ► grouper made a post about this week or two ago about how the lightning cable I [TS]

00:08:05 ◼   ► think it was something he was is the epitome of the difference in perspective [TS]

00:08:10 ◼   ► between Apple users and Android users and actually pointed this out I sent [TS]

00:08:14 ◼   ► this article to 100 loving friends and they were like yeah that's stupid why [TS]

00:08:19 ◼   ► would you want a proprietary cable and man it's just to me that makes no sense [TS]

00:08:24 ◼   ► I don't need to have a really clunky cable that I have three hundred of I'd [TS]

00:08:29 ◼   ► rather have one cable that works very well all the time and it just struck me [TS]

00:08:35 ◼   ► is so weird that that was the posters right about the difference in the news [TS]

00:08:40 ◼   ► for those users who have already made their choice or who has some sort of [TS]

00:08:42 ◼   ► like some allegiance to one side of the other regular people who have no [TS]

00:08:46 ◼   ► I don't care or know anything different about them like they expect when you get [TS]

00:08:51 ◼   ► a new thing nobody knew accessories that have to go with that I know people are [TS]

00:08:54 ◼   ► enough people are like well I can't reuse my charging cable then forget it [TS]

00:08:58 ◼   ► because across Android phones maybe you can reuse the same cables are the same [TS]

00:09:03 ◼   ► charges they don't work as well it's it's not a big deal because they come [TS]

00:09:06 ◼   ► with you no wonder two cables or whatever the iphone come with this guy I [TS]

00:09:11 ◼   ► think the experience of using lightning cable like you said Casey for regular [TS]

00:09:16 ◼   ► people is more important than the theoretical advantage of being able to [TS]

00:09:20 ◼   ► reuse cables across bones that you're right we also got a lot of feedback [TS]

00:09:26 ◼   ► about dual input displays because during the believe was last show we talk a lot [TS]

00:09:32 ◼   ► or was it one tweet [TS]

00:09:34 ◼   ► well I saw one to eat now pay people kept waiting and saying isn't it [TS]

00:09:38 ◼   ► possible they just hooked up to cable right from two cables from your Mac [TS]

00:09:42 ◼   ► grouchy reminder that does not solve the problem [TS]

00:09:45 ◼   ► you know do you think Apple could do this do you think Apple will do this [TS]

00:09:48 ◼   ► every variation so there were allowed to write but John you've put one specific [TS]

00:09:53 ◼   ► tweet into the show notes do you care to expound upon that the slide from Apple's [TS]

00:09:58 ◼   ► most recent presentation about the Mac Pro that showing the back of the [TS]

00:10:02 ◼   ► machines as next-generation video up to 34 K displays single and dual input [TS]

00:10:07 ◼   ► displays and I don't even know what that means I remember that being on the slide [TS]

00:10:11 ◼   ► but I guess I just forgot about entirely I'm not even sure what they're getting [TS]

00:10:15 ◼   ► ready they want you want to venture a guess [TS]

00:10:17 ◼   ► well last unless we we talked about how it was going to be pretty impossible for [TS]

00:10:24 ◼   ► them to ship a 50 120 pixels wide monitor what should be a perfect to exit [TS]

00:10:30 ◼   ► the current 27 they would be impossible because it would use more bandwidth than [TS]

00:10:34 ◼   ► wonderful 2.0 cable will support and now back in the days when these 30 inch [TS]

00:10:43 ◼   ► Cinema Display first came out it was one of the first monitors in the market [TS]

00:10:46 ◼   ► required dual link DVI and what dual-link DVI basically is is a whole [TS]

00:10:52 ◼   ► bunch more D it's basically you know to regular DVI channels into in one cable [TS]

00:10:58 ◼   ► that has [TS]

00:10:59 ◼   ► ton of tens and it requires special video card that would support this and [TS]

00:11:04 ◼   ► it was everything was very expensive and everything that was pretty much the same [TS]

00:11:08 ◼   ► idea which is like you have the standard and forgiveness wrongly please email us [TS]

00:11:12 ◼   ► actually from going from curious but it was it was you know this the standard is [TS]

00:11:17 ◼   ► not fast enough to support all the resolutions that have basically as far [TS]

00:11:20 ◼   ► as I know that they've basically divided the display and half logically in the [TS]

00:11:23 ◼   ► controllers and just like how you can render one-half so by doing something [TS]

00:11:28 ◼   ► similar if you could lay together say two Thunderbolt cables into one monitor [TS]

00:11:34 ◼   ► that was made to handle this and the video card for me to handle this is well [TS]

00:11:37 ◼   ► you could theoretically then have enough bandwidth to drive a 5120 pixel display [TS]

00:11:44 ◼   ► the new Mac Pro and and doesn't the new actually at the open to that the new [TS]

00:11:52 ◼   ► Retina MacBook Pro it also has the double to right now so far the only able [TS]

00:11:57 ◼   ► to computer that shipping from Apple that has two ports on it as well and I [TS]

00:12:03 ◼   ► don't know if it has this capability it might not I don't think they've [TS]

00:12:06 ◼   ► advertised but it's it's worth noting that that does have two ports but this [TS]

00:12:10 ◼   ► would be a way now so last last episode they were saying it's impossible to find [TS]

00:12:14 ◼   ► office monitor now with the proof from this slide from Nielsen thank you with [TS]

00:12:20 ◼   ► the perfect the slide actually shows that if a dual input display exists and [TS]

00:12:25 ◼   ► that works the way you think it would which is being able to combine the [TS]

00:12:28 ◼   ► bandwidth of both cables into one display like DVI cable but regardless if [TS]

00:12:35 ◼   ► this works the same way is that that theoretical displayed now is possible [TS]

00:12:40 ◼   ► again for the new member but isn't that what it means when it says dual input [TS]

00:12:44 ◼   ► displays I'm not sure that what it means is a display of it has two inputs and [TS]

00:12:48 ◼   ► you mean both inputs drive to display its native resolution it could just as [TS]

00:12:51 ◼   ► easily mean a display that has two different inputs so you can switch [TS]

00:12:56 ◼   ► between them sooo two different max could share the same monitor I don't I [TS]

00:12:59 ◼   ► don't know what do input display means it's what I'm getting at night what [TS]

00:13:03 ◼   ► value would I don't know I mean I've never bought like you know maybe this [TS]

00:13:07 ◼   ► maybe there's something about produce played with this is a common feature [TS]

00:13:09 ◼   ► what value would there be an apple advertising [TS]

00:13:13 ◼   ► ability to plug into like a switch to monitor the has two different inputs for [TS]

00:13:16 ◼   ► two different sources like I know it's one of those are getting out I think [TS]

00:13:18 ◼   ► this in context were missing from people who produce video pros or something and [TS]

00:13:22 ◼   ► I use this I'm sure we will get email from the people explain to us but busy [TS]

00:13:26 ◼   ► put it on a slide with the expectation that everyone knows what it means and I [TS]

00:13:30 ◼   ► hadn't heard anything about it meaning you know the equipment that you don't [TS]

00:13:34 ◼   ► have been with the run the resolution you can learn to sew the overall of [TS]

00:13:38 ◼   ► people asking is it possible to they could do this it seems technically [TS]

00:13:42 ◼   ► plausible vaguely plausible because doing TV I wasn't a standard that Apple [TS]

00:13:46 ◼   ► may I don't think it was part of the you know whatever the DVI consortium is [TS]

00:13:50 ◼   ► never there were some of the first ones to use it right this this sounds a [TS]

00:13:54 ◼   ► little weird you know especially since it would be 22 actual cables and they're [TS]

00:13:57 ◼   ► like bundled together or something I don't know but it's within the realm [TS]

00:14:01 ◼   ► father will Apple do this I think the costs of probably the cost of a display [TS]

00:14:06 ◼   ► of that resolution is put it outside the realm of things that Apple will do even [TS]

00:14:11 ◼   ► if they could definitely do it but I think the wild card is what did up on me [TS]

00:14:16 ◼   ► and my doin puts players and teams like none of us know for sure so if anyone [TS]

00:14:20 ◼   ► out there knows for sure exactly what happened but doing puts plays let us [TS]

00:14:24 ◼   ► know anything we should point out right now is that we are recording this on [TS]

00:14:28 ◼   ► Monday December 16th at night it is very very likely that the Mac Pros are coming [TS]

00:14:34 ◼   ► out tomorrow it's very likely that by the time most people here this the new [TS]

00:14:39 ◼   ► macros will already be out and if Apple is going to make any kind of display [TS]

00:14:44 ◼   ► announcement at that time that might have already happened as well and other [TS]

00:14:48 ◼   ► people might have already gotten these and tested them and we're saying all [TS]

00:14:50 ◼   ► this before the new macros actually out so this all could be irrelevant in 12 [TS]

00:14:56 ◼   ► hours why do you say that tomorrow will be the day which would be Tuesday the [TS]

00:15:00 ◼   ► 17th because today they rushed out on a 10 91 update that supports the new Mac [TS]

00:15:06 ◼   ► Pro and that's what this is one of the lender like to do this in Tuesday's and [TS]

00:15:10 ◼   ► this is one of the last potential weeks them to release something and still be [TS]

00:15:15 ◼   ► in December cos have Apple shuts down next week and this was the rumored date [TS]

00:15:19 ◼   ► as of a couple of weeks ago [TS]

00:15:20 ◼   ► right yes so it's it's I'd say I would say the 10 91 released today all but [TS]

00:15:25 ◼   ► confirms it I would say it's almost certain that they're being released in [TS]

00:15:31 ◼   ► 12 hours ago and it hasn't happened are based hardware in the recent past where [TS]

00:15:36 ◼   ► if you buy the new hardware you get a newer building the less than you could [TS]

00:15:39 ◼   ► get an existing MAC I don't know where you are you get you know you can get [TS]

00:15:44 ◼   ► 10914 only to buy a Mac Pro and then a week later comes out for everybody else [TS]

00:15:48 ◼   ► but they have definitely done things for you if you want about his new harbour [TS]

00:15:51 ◼   ► you get it a newer build of iOS 10 than anybody else can getting you to wait [TS]

00:15:55 ◼   ► until the next update yet that they definitely have done that so with its [TS]

00:15:59 ◼   ► release imminent johnnie buying one tomorrow definitely come tomorrow now I [TS]

00:16:07 ◼   ► have to wait even if everything was just right I want to wait until every people [TS]

00:16:10 ◼   ► test that I wanna see gaming benchmarks you know as far as I know I don't think [TS]

00:16:15 ◼   ► I'm going to buy one tomorrow unless they actually announcement over the [TS]

00:16:20 ◼   ► display in which case I would I would buy both immediately but besides that [TS]

00:16:25 ◼   ► and i think im also gonna wait and see [TS]

00:16:27 ◼   ► I'm really curious to see from reports from people about how it compares to the [TS]

00:16:31 ◼   ► 2010 Mac Pro in practice you know it has all sorts of the CPU improvements which [TS]

00:16:37 ◼   ► are you know there there there but it's not really what you'd expect from three [TS]

00:16:42 ◼   ► years of of CPU progress so besides the CPU appearance which are same moderate I [TS]

00:16:47 ◼   ► want to know is a whole new version of this system architecture like this all [TS]

00:16:52 ◼   ► PCI Express everywhere maximized for throughput and then these GPUs being [TS]

00:16:57 ◼   ► super high power like I want to know is it how big of an upgrade is that in [TS]

00:17:02 ◼   ► practice in regular use using not just you know 3d rendering absolute GPU the [TS]

00:17:08 ◼   ► easy just general apps development apps photo audio production stuff you know [TS]

00:17:14 ◼   ► that kind of stuff I would love to know how much of an upgrade is this really if [TS]

00:17:19 ◼   ► you already have a 2010 Mac Pro with gigantic pci-express SSD in a dirty [TS]

00:17:25 ◼   ► that's true well my highest is mediocre nothing like the disk throughput than [TS]
