[TS]
00:00:08
◼
►
OK from its ok to take a drink of water before the show starts at that I had
[TS]
00:00:11
◼
►
time you just jump right now I'm a professional John johnny on the spot I
[TS]
00:00:18
◼
►
guess we got an email from someone who works at Apple star who prefers to
[TS]
00:00:21
◼
►
remain anonymous as those people tend to do on the subject of Apple's messages
[TS]
00:00:27
◼
►
program and the iMessage service and the subtle partial email people stop by the
[TS]
00:00:32
◼
►
Apple Store with problems are obviously not representative of iPhone users in
[TS]
00:00:35
◼
►
general but I message is probably the top problem among the folks who do stop
[TS]
00:00:40
◼
►
by problems with iMessage are probably the top frustration with Apple's
[TS]
00:00:44
◼
►
products and services among the specials in our store we had a number of people
[TS]
00:00:47
◼
►
writing in saying it's it's always been fine for me you know but I i think
[TS]
00:00:51
◼
►
there's been enough reports of it being not fine for many people and that's
[TS]
00:00:55
◼
►
something like that that's a really good data point because obviously they only
[TS]
00:00:58
◼
►
see the people with problems but they see everybody's problems like any you
[TS]
00:01:02
◼
►
know there are in the best position to decide what is the most common problem
[TS]
00:01:05
◼
►
amongst all users Apple products period is not like just iPhone users or
[TS]
00:01:09
◼
►
whatever it is I cross all of Apple's products and services as in contrast to
[TS]
00:01:13
◼
►
the common podcast blog fodder other iCloud problems over those stemming for
[TS]
00:01:17
◼
►
obvious grocers are relatively rare so he saying that no problems are directed
[TS]
00:01:23
◼
►
revealed I like allowed or not as big a deal as they're made out but I message
[TS]
00:01:26
◼
►
is the number one
[TS]
00:01:27
◼
►
frustration from people who come in to see them just as a user of iCloud I use
[TS]
00:01:33
◼
►
it can gently I I use basically cut Calendar and Contacts Inc and not a lot
[TS]
00:01:38
◼
►
of other features it offers you know that the document in the cloud it really
[TS]
00:01:42
◼
►
use some of that and by using it lightly like that I rarely see any problems and
[TS]
00:01:47
◼
►
so that's probably how most people use it you know where you are you must hear
[TS]
00:01:52
◼
►
complaints about iCloud being weird and buggy and potentially awful
[TS]
00:01:56
◼
►
developers who are trying to develop against the sink API's which as we
[TS]
00:02:00
◼
►
discussed before have a lot of issues and possibly some some pretty fatal
[TS]
00:02:03
◼
►
designs and and you know so that you know the developer point of view of
[TS]
00:02:08
◼
►
iCloud is very different from what the public yeah I wonder like it for people
[TS]
00:02:14
◼
►
we're not fooling around the stuff if they have undemanding use them like me
[TS]
00:02:18
◼
►
three contacts in the modified not much there maybe didn't notice a big deal but
[TS]
00:02:22
◼
►
if you have if you have tons of stuff and wanted to work just so I wanna play
[TS]
00:02:26
◼
►
with the little icon seeking switches and everything and then something
[TS]
00:02:29
◼
►
doesn't work and it gets hosing goes off into the weeds I don't know those people
[TS]
00:02:32
◼
►
ever bother going to an Apple store and try to figure it out themselves and
[TS]
00:02:37
◼
►
having a lot of cases when icon doesn't work people just doesn't just don't
[TS]
00:02:40
◼
►
notice or like you said they blame the application and they don't blame you
[TS]
00:02:44
◼
►
know the phone or whatever but the number of people who go into the Apple
[TS]
00:02:48
◼
►
Store software problems
[TS]
00:02:50
◼
►
bagus is a different class of people because I would never go into the Apple
[TS]
00:02:55
◼
►
Store the software problem I think it's as long as I can actually determine it
[TS]
00:02:58
◼
►
was a problem because what did they get it do for me that is gonna post same
[TS]
00:03:01
◼
►
buttons I can't focus people who don't know Texas nothing you know or if you
[TS]
00:03:05
◼
►
wanna say maybe it is a hardware problem I'll take him to the back room hooked up
[TS]
00:03:08
◼
►
to a machine that had to run some diagnostic but it was interesting to
[TS]
00:03:12
◼
►
point something else also how many you what percentage of iPhone users do you
[TS]
00:03:20
◼
►
don't have any other Apple products and therefore don't really see like the
[TS]
00:03:24
◼
►
syncing issues necessarily connected with the history of all I would think on
[TS]
00:03:31
◼
►
the Apple those numbers like how many iPhone users also have a Mac but I would
[TS]
00:03:35
◼
►
love to know that you know it's getting smaller and smaller as PCs are doing
[TS]
00:03:39
◼
►
less and less well in the marketplace max are doing better and better I'm sure
[TS]
00:03:43
◼
►
that that's getting to be smaller and smaller but using anecdotal piece of
[TS]
00:03:46
◼
►
evidence the first Apple device that I believe my dad guard was either an iPad
[TS]
00:03:51
◼
►
or an iPhone I want to say was an iPhone and now fast forward two or three years
[TS]
00:03:55
◼
►
later and pretty much my entire immediate family as an errand and I as
[TS]
00:04:00
◼
►
well as immediate family is in my parents brothers they're almost
[TS]
00:04:03
◼
►
exclusively Mac now look at the sales numbers though how many iPhones apple
[TS]
00:04:09
◼
►
sold in the past three years versus how many accidents although no sales are not
[TS]
00:04:12
◼
►
the same as the stalled base but the number of iPhones just massively towards
[TS]
00:04:16
◼
►
the number
[TS]
00:04:16
◼
►
max in existence but this plane and they are like you know like the all the old
[TS]
00:04:20
◼
►
max that are sitting around how how how long do you keep counting like some
[TS]
00:04:24
◼
►
ancient Mac PowerPC still hanging around or whatever but there's just so many
[TS]
00:04:29
◼
►
more iPhone and iOS devices then max that you have to say most people who
[TS]
00:04:34
◼
►
have iOS devices do not have max me I would say if I had to take a guess at
[TS]
00:04:39
◼
►
what percentage of iPhone owners that was their only Apple device I would say
[TS]
00:04:44
◼
►
it's probably like 50% or maybe even more I think it's I think it's like if
[TS]
00:04:48
◼
►
you want to know the percentage if you look at all the people who buy phones
[TS]
00:04:52
◼
►
and say what percentage of those have a Mac its I bet it's very similar to the
[TS]
00:04:55
◼
►
percentage of gender general population has a Mac at this point because the
[TS]
00:04:59
◼
►
iPhone is is is a mass-market general-purpose product I don't think
[TS]
00:05:04
◼
►
people see any real connection to the Mac latest like it would never occur to
[TS]
00:05:07
◼
►
them that if you've got an iPhone that there was any connection to the max you
[TS]
00:05:11
◼
►
had to have a Mac that you should have a Mac anything but a true this year to get
[TS]
00:05:15
◼
►
out of having a Mac really I guess maybe a desktop version of the Notes
[TS]
00:05:19
◼
►
application so what did you know gaming PC and iPod shuffle sing better so much
[TS]
00:05:27
◼
►
and most people don't even think their phones to their computers which is why
[TS]
00:05:31
◼
►
Apple had to push for so long to get all this stuff over iCloud backups and
[TS]
00:05:35
◼
►
Cingular Wireless and iTunes Match all the other stuff like you know it wasn't
[TS]
00:05:40
◼
►
that long ago you know it's easy for you to forget but it was only iOS 5 that
[TS]
00:05:44
◼
►
brought most of that stuff that made you stop having to sync with iTunes to get a
[TS]
00:05:47
◼
►
lot of these features that was not that long ago to remember the the jailbreak
[TS]
00:05:52
◼
►
app that would allow you to do wifi saying and it was like such a big deal
[TS]
00:05:56
◼
►
this was roundabouts the violence 450 such a big deal because he could sink
[TS]
00:06:01
◼
►
over wi-fi and people like oh my god you have to do this immediately they were
[TS]
00:06:05
◼
►
like expecting a point release of iTunes the next day 22 to enable wifi sync not
[TS]
00:06:09
◼
►
recall exactly when it actually showed up in their members that being such a
[TS]
00:06:13
◼
►
big deal and that was the brief window of time around he was around the brief
[TS]
00:06:16
◼
►
window of time when I actually had a jailbroken iPhone and so I thought about
[TS]
00:06:21
◼
►
I think at this point three jailbreaking just for that it was so silly but yeah
[TS]
00:06:25
◼
►
there really wasn't that long ago you're exactly right
[TS]
00:06:27
◼
►
and they implemented a wi-fi sync and actually I'm curious what do you guys do
[TS]
00:06:33
◼
►
for forcing tobacco I was connected to cable yet typically I do as well I think
[TS]
00:06:37
◼
►
I wi-fi sync enabled but I believe unpacking well I'm backing up my iphone
[TS]
00:06:43
◼
►
to my computer and I'm on my iPad to iCloud but I actually have a gripe about
[TS]
00:06:49
◼
►
this which is branching away from follow-up it since I'm talking I'm
[TS]
00:06:53
◼
►
seeing a continued I think that because of SMS logs which I'm a packrat and I
[TS]
00:06:59
◼
►
don't delete barely any my sms logs and I probably should go and call all of
[TS]
00:07:04
◼
►
them but I'm I think it's because I have four years of SMS logs or something like
[TS]
00:07:10
◼
►
my iCloud account which I do I just have the free one which is happily five gigs
[TS]
00:07:15
◼
►
it is called the moment I start backing my iPhone up to it and I've looked at
[TS]
00:07:20
◼
►
the usage in settings and i'm looking a while so I'm a little fuzzy on the
[TS]
00:07:25
◼
►
details but there was nothing jumped out and said oh I'm you there's no app or
[TS]
00:07:29
◼
►
anything that said oh I'm using 34 gigs or anything like that and the only thing
[TS]
00:07:33
◼
►
I can guess cause I believe I turned off the the app backup sty cloud for just
[TS]
00:07:38
◼
►
about everything and it still was whining about not having enough space in
[TS]
00:07:42
◼
►
the only thing I can think of is I've got a gazillion SMS is in perhaps more
[TS]
00:07:45
◼
►
importantly mmm messes that that have been around since 2008 when I got my 3ds
[TS]
00:07:51
◼
►
that that I think are trying to go to iCloud and failing miserably and that's
[TS]
00:07:56
◼
►
that's kind of a bummer and as everyone in the chat his saying yes I am The King
[TS]
00:08:01
◼
►
of sending animated gifs to people which is certainly not helping so that's
[TS]
00:08:04
◼
►
probably a self-created issue when you first heard saying it was SMS I was
[TS]
00:08:08
◼
►
thinking yet it's like filling up a terabyte with Word documents but now
[TS]
00:08:11
◼
►
that you say you know that you get a lot of MMS and do a lot of image sending and
[TS]
00:08:16
◼
►
receiving that actually makes a lot of sense because where is that stored what
[TS]
00:08:19
◼
►
is that categorized as and that that really could be a problem plus your you
[TS]
00:08:25
◼
►
know your billions of emoji and especially imagine imagine if Apple
[TS]
00:08:30
◼
►
stores your emoji as images oh you actually stores high DPI images
[TS]
00:08:37
◼
►
bubbles but you don't i'm saying it's it's frustrating still a maybe I'm
[TS]
00:08:43
◼
►
abnormal in that I don't go through and call text messages and maybe most people
[TS]
00:08:49
◼
►
are paranoid or whatever but but for me it by me not taking action in other
[TS]
00:08:55
◼
►
words by me not going through and deleting all text messages in picture
[TS]
00:09:00
◼
►
messages I have put myself in a position where I cloud backup effectively doesn't
[TS]
00:09:06
◼
►
work for me unless I paid for it and and that's not necessarily a bad thing and
[TS]
00:09:10
◼
►
it pretty much is my fault but it's interesting to me that when I do
[TS]
00:09:14
◼
►
something that you would assume an average user would do which is just let
[TS]
00:09:17
◼
►
SMS and MMS is fly by and just let let them go into the ether by doing that
[TS]
00:09:23
◼
►
I've set myself up in a position where I can't use iCloud or not effectively
[TS]
00:09:27
◼
►
anyway does anybody pay for extra storage and iCloud I would if I wanted
[TS]
00:09:32
◼
►
to use it like it was it was better than local backup in more ways like it was
[TS]
00:09:37
◼
►
his as fast if it kept all my passwords and encrypt it like you know this stuff
[TS]
00:09:41
◼
►
things I club does slightly differently I thought about paying for many times
[TS]
00:09:44
◼
►
and is going and the reason I always use the cable to my backup system because
[TS]
00:09:48
◼
►
I'm against wife I think just because my battery almost always need to be charged
[TS]
00:09:53
◼
►
by the time I and the back of the computer I'm playing in any way to
[TS]
00:09:56
◼
►
charges why not also do the backup then I particularly liked it I don't think
[TS]
00:10:02
◼
►
it's a maybe I'll go wireless eventually but for now I keep doing it the
[TS]
00:10:06
◼
►
old-fashioned Lee and I believe I might pays for iCloud backup and I think he is
[TS]
00:10:10
◼
►
the only person on the planet and his his up according to his statement on the
[TS]
00:10:15
◼
►
prompt sounds pretty weird in general it is either very uncommon or like every
[TS]
00:10:22
◼
►
other non become the world's just like him and we just don't see it I think I
[TS]
00:10:26
◼
►
think what happens is like people would get the free iCloud and then they ran
[TS]
00:10:29
◼
►
out of space on Ibiza is not hard to blow through that space and then they go
[TS]
00:10:32
◼
►
to the Apple store cuz they can't figure out why the phone isn't working at
[TS]
00:10:35
◼
►
giving them some message about being in a room or something like that don't
[TS]
00:10:40
◼
►
understand what it's saying to them and eventually some explains them it's
[TS]
00:10:42
◼
►
telling you that if you want to keep using your phone like you've been using
[TS]
00:10:45
◼
►
you have to pass on that
[TS]
00:10:46
◼
►
and they hate bad and they complain about it but it's better than learning a
[TS]
00:10:50
◼
►
new way to do things a lot of people just end up not disliking Apple having a
[TS]
00:10:56
◼
►
bad feeling about Apple that happens which is why is that so many times they
[TS]
00:10:58
◼
►
need to like figure that out like giving people that little taste just as a
[TS]
00:11:02
◼
►
setting them up to four bad feelings later but for most people it's easier
[TS]
00:11:06
◼
►
than changing the way they do things I just want to keep doing whatever it is I
[TS]
00:11:09
◼
►
was doing make this go away you know or maybe they just like they just turn off
[TS]
00:11:15
◼
►
my car back up I'm not sure I want to take that alternative I don't need
[TS]
00:11:19
◼
►
backup nothing's gonna side so talk to me about East squished Mac Mini on
[TS]
00:11:28
◼
►
Twitter and he offers a theory about why the Mac Mini gets criticized my show
[TS]
00:11:33
◼
►
that I didn't like that I got social liked it better when I was taller and
[TS]
00:11:36
◼
►
skinnier and his theory is her theory is that it's because now it's if it's in a
[TS]
00:11:42
◼
►
way you rack which I kinda by like before they used to track them
[TS]
00:11:46
◼
►
vertically when they were found that many was they just turn them on their
[TS]
00:11:49
◼
►
sides and I get there take up to you at that point no more than that and in 45
[TS]
00:11:53
◼
►
probably remember what it was like some of it anyway like the many many as
[TS]
00:11:59
◼
►
doesn't really a rack mountable machine people have a rack-mounted it because
[TS]
00:12:04
◼
►
it's small and it will fit and squashing it down to one you may be was a nod to
[TS]
00:12:08
◼
►
the people
[TS]
00:12:09
◼
►
racking them but if you're gonna make something good for racking you wouldn't
[TS]
00:12:12
◼
►
make something like the mini like you would make it would be made differently
[TS]
00:12:18
◼
►
very least it would have little flanges are some things you could actually put
[TS]
00:12:22
◼
►
it in the mail but still looks like something is meant to be on desk
[TS]
00:12:26
◼
►
somewhere yeah I would agree and you know it if they wanted to rack mount a
[TS]
00:12:29
◼
►
Mac don't you think they would have liked some server or server and you
[TS]
00:12:34
◼
►
would run OS 10 but you would maybe abbreviated as like exercise one more
[TS]
00:12:40
◼
►
piece of follow up this is from
[TS]
00:12:42
◼
►
an anonymous industry source of course I'ma get to identify a person talking
[TS]
00:12:48
◼
►
about the the dole BCS damn I wish I found out at the end of the show that
[TS]
00:12:52
◼
►
neither one of you know what that was talking about last week's still be
[TS]
00:12:56
◼
►
showed this experimental like this is not a product but let's just show you
[TS]
00:13:00
◼
►
what this would look like this experimental crazy television set up
[TS]
00:13:02
◼
►
thing that was demonstrating what I was talking about you know in terms of
[TS]
00:13:06
◼
►
better pixels a much larger range between the darkest and the brightest
[TS]
00:13:10
◼
►
spot on a television you think about when you go outside the real world what
[TS]
00:13:15
◼
►
is the difference in brightness between a place that's under direct sunlight in
[TS]
00:13:19
◼
►
Newnan placed its shade under an umbrella or like it looking up at the
[TS]
00:13:24
◼
►
sky and the Sun is in the corner of your eye what is the difference in brightness
[TS]
00:13:26
◼
►
screamed at and in like a dark hearts huge gigantic dynamic range in a number
[TS]
00:13:32
◼
►
of ways but it's way more than as a TV TV as bright areas in dark areas but
[TS]
00:13:37
◼
►
they're much closer together and some of that is practically speaking to limit
[TS]
00:13:41
◼
►
because if your television had the same dynamic ranges real life and a show pan
[TS]
00:13:47
◼
►
the camera up to a sunny sky and you stared at the TV you'll go blind
[TS]
00:13:50
◼
►
that's bad if you had televisions admitting for the full of her magnetic
[TS]
00:13:54
◼
►
spectrum of the Sun at the same brightness a double take a lot of power
[TS]
00:13:58
◼
►
would not be good for your vision that's not what we're talking about receiving a
[TS]
00:14:02
◼
►
happy medium between the current incredibly small dynamic range of
[TS]
00:14:06
◼

television's today and the outdoors and so this demo was like here here so we

there's really not much more to say about it but on the other hand I know
[TS]
00:18:50
◼

the three of us well enough to know there's probably some stuff to say so
[TS]
00:18:53
◼
►
are you tearing the thermostats off the mark of the story in case you've been
[TS]
00:19:01
◼
►
living under a rock and somehow the podcast are that Google has bought nest
[TS]
00:19:05
◼
►
or is about to buy now pending regulatory approval I believe that
[TS]
00:19:10
◼
►
Google is probably going to buy now for some 43 points something billion dollars
[TS]
00:19:15
◼
►
they point to whatever it was a little over three billion dollars and so I have
[TS]
00:19:19
◼
►
an estimate at my house there ok that might my favorite feature of them is the
[TS]
00:19:23
◼
►
remote control iPhone app that I turned off all learning stuff because it kind
[TS]
00:19:26
◼
►
of just bought with me all the time but imagine that something that wanted to
[TS]
00:19:31
◼
►
control didn't get along with me cause I want to control so big surprise right so
[TS]
00:19:37
◼
►
no american off the wall yet because first of all the one of the reasons I
[TS]
00:19:41
◼
►
got nothing else really does the remote control aspect while also looking
[TS]
00:19:45
◼
►
reasonably nice in the rooms so that's one problem one of the problems though
[TS]
00:19:51
◼
►
is is that this is still very new things so I'm not gonna like the wallet out of
[TS]
00:19:57
◼
►
some you know spite or speculation of what Google / nest might do in the
[TS]
00:20:02
◼
►
future that being said I wrote a post about to go too far into it but I don't
[TS]
00:20:06
◼
►
think it's wise for anybody to assume that these things are going to magically
[TS]
00:20:10
◼
►
remain completely separate obviously if they're going to make a separate why
[TS]
00:20:14
◼
►
would Google spend a lot of money on it that's that's probably not what happened
[TS]
00:20:18
◼
►
I i think you can look at what Google how googled acquisitions on this scale
[TS]
00:20:25
◼
►
YouTube from 1.6 billion forever ago back when
[TS]
00:20:29
◼
►
at the time nowadays acquisitions for a billion dollars are
[TS]
00:20:33
◼
►
are almost commonplace but back then they weren't and at least the tech
[TS]
00:20:37
◼
►
business and so you know when they bought YouTube it was it was very
[TS]
00:20:42
◼
►
clearly video is a big thing on the internet and I think history has has
[TS]
00:20:48
◼
►
supported that since then that was a very wise decision if they weren't if
[TS]
00:20:52
◼
►
they didn't buy it
[TS]
00:20:53
◼
►
Yahoo Microsoft will probably gonna buy it and it it's a very good thing you got
[TS]
00:20:57
◼
►
it for them because video is very very important represents tons of traffic
[TS]
00:21:01
◼
►
activity on the internet so they they kinda had to do that when Facebook
[TS]
00:21:07
◼
►
bought Instagram that was also over a billion wasn't it was or wasn't exactly
[TS]
00:21:11
◼
►
what was exactly one billion right someone that I believe is around two
[TS]
00:21:14
◼
►
billion so Facebook bought Instagram because they were threatened and freaked
[TS]
00:21:18
◼
►
out because Facebook's primary like most used application is Photo Sharing and
[TS]
00:21:25
◼
►
there was a huge world of photo sharing happening on the social network that was
[TS]
00:21:29
◼
►
dominating mobile so it was competing with things Facebook users the most on
[TS]
00:21:34
◼
►
mobile where Facebook was still pretty weak and was dead did not have a strong
[TS]
00:21:38
◼
►
foothold in this was a major threat to Facebook that's why is like rush the
[TS]
00:21:43
◼
►
deal through and and regardless of it being like right before their IPO and
[TS]
00:21:46
◼
►
possibly having problems with that like he pushed through his he's a smart guy
[TS]
00:21:50
◼
►
he knew this was a threat right now going back to Google they recently when
[TS]
00:21:54
◼
►
I more recently the new to at least they bought Motorola Mobility for a twelve
[TS]
00:21:59
◼
►
billion I don't remember I think Google which is it didn't remember to do so
[TS]
00:22:06
◼
►
google buys Motorola Mobility for something like twelve billion and it
[TS]
00:22:11
◼
►
seemed like the reason they bought it was cuz they were threatened and freaked
[TS]
00:22:14
◼
►
out again just like you know you're buying YouTube they were threatening
[TS]
00:22:18
◼
►
freaked out Facebook by Instagram they were they were threatened and right so
[TS]
00:22:23
◼
►
Google buying Motorola they were threatening freaked out because all this
[TS]
00:22:27
◼
►
patent stuff is going on around and raining very important to them in the
[TS]
00:22:30
◼
►
Android Market was kind of becoming the Samsung market and it was kinda nice to
[TS]
00:22:35
◼
►
prop somebody else up a little bit just for diversity sake and competition so it
[TS]
00:22:40
◼
►
was mostly about patents I think adding that in the industry bears out so far
[TS]
00:22:45
◼
►
but you know looking at that didn't turn out so well it seems like it was a
[TS]
00:22:49
◼
►
sloppy move it seems like it was it was maybe not bought through maybe maybe not
[TS]
00:22:54
◼
►
enough diligence down on what the value of these patents actually might be
[TS]
00:22:57
◼
►
whatever the reason it seemed like it was kind of a rash decision at the time
[TS]
00:23:01
◼
►
that a lot of people by surprise and so far has proven not to have really been
[TS]
00:23:06
◼
►
worth it so this brings us to nest what what the heck they want with nest there
[TS]
00:23:12
◼
►
is a good post on our friend Ben Thompson States trajectory that right
[TS]
00:23:16
◼
►
finally think strategically too long it got the little things every child I
[TS]
00:23:22
◼
►
pronounced in my head start a career but I believe its strategic re okay I think
[TS]
00:23:26
◼
►
you're right so anyway so it's a Ben Thompson at street Stratego rewrote this
[TS]
00:23:31
◼
►
is nice piece in the show notes about this might be Google's new business
[TS]
00:23:37
◼
►
model getting into that that all of their previous business models have been
[TS]
00:23:41
◼
►
focused on advertising and the number of people using the internet continuing to
[TS]
00:23:47
◼
►
grow tremendously but apparently we're starting to reach the limits of the
[TS]
00:23:51
◼
►
world population and economic realities such that the number of people using the
[TS]
00:23:56
◼
►
internet the growth peak of that is going to end in a couple of years it was
[TS]
00:24:02
◼
►
gonna start slowing down significantly so it's Google's relying on more and
[TS]
00:24:08
◼
►
more people using the internet looking at their ads every day for all their
[TS]
00:24:11
◼
►
future business it's kind of it almost saturated in notes it's not that it's
[TS]
00:24:16
◼
►
not drinking it's not going to stop all growth but the growth is going to slow
[TS]
00:24:20
◼
►
down a lot so his theory is that you're getting into devices getting into
[TS]
00:24:26
◼
►
hardware might be there next new business model arm because advertising
[TS]
00:24:31
◼
►
might be saturated for them or or close to it I don't know because so let's look
[TS]
00:24:39
◼
►
at what they bought here they bought a company that is not very old sells
[TS]
00:24:45
◼
►
products you know to a good volume but not like we're talking like an apple or
[TS]
00:24:50
◼
►
Samsung kind of volume of products they're they're shipping here
[TS]
00:24:53
◼
►
manufacturing so they're not buying a huge supply chain they're they're buying
[TS]
00:24:58
◼
►
some good retail connection certainly but but not something you're not not the
[TS]
00:25:02
◼
►
kind of connection that like a phone or computer OEM would have for instance so
[TS]
00:25:08
◼
►
I think one of the biggest things that they're buying what appears to be a
[TS]
00:25:12
◼
►
pretty good staff having Tony Fadell on the team is is probably gonna be a
[TS]
00:25:17
◼
►
pretty big win but they're saying they're keeping nest separate and he's
[TS]
00:25:21
◼
►
gonna keep running nest the next part of it so I don't know it kind of feels like
[TS]
00:25:26
◼
►
that's a lot of money to have spent on a company that I'm not entirely sure how
[TS]
00:25:33
◼
►
Google is really going to get that amount of value added this company
[TS]
00:25:37
◼
►
what do you think so could it be in Akwa higher it's way too expensive for that
[TS]
00:25:42
◼
►
for three billion I just how many employees using this house I i mean
[TS]
00:25:48
◼
►
probably probably a couple hundred and I'm just gets a couple hundred that's
[TS]
00:25:51
◼
►
why would I would say it's between 1,500 would be my guess based on no facts
[TS]
00:25:56
◼
►
you're thinking like programmers know companies companies have way more staff
[TS]
00:26:02
◼
►
than a lot then a program intended as made myself included because once you
[TS]
00:26:07
◼
►
leave the engineering department and you get into like retail sales support
[TS]
00:26:11
◼
►
manufacturing all that stuff it's massively people intensive they prob
[TS]
00:26:15
◼
►
they probably have a couple hundred guess I didn't even do I thought you had
[TS]
00:26:18
◼
►
to internet online and retail stores yet there in Best Buy that it had a big
[TS]
00:26:22
◼
►
block deal at Best Buy and then the Apple Store yep like whatever it is 3.2
[TS]
00:26:27
◼
►
billion is a lot of money for a project that I is a luxury product that I don't
[TS]
00:26:32
◼
►
think cells in any kind of both their products are luxury products because if
[TS]
00:26:36
◼
►
you just wanna smoke detector thermostat you can get them way cheaper right and
[TS]
00:26:39
◼
►
your house already has a thermostat only you know people with expendable income
[TS]
00:26:43
◼
►
or tech nerds want to replace something and people just gonna go to Walmart get
[TS]
00:26:48
◼
►
the cheap smoked chicken they can to be up to code it would take the battery out
[TS]
00:26:52
◼
►
never put it back in like these are luxury items they have to be low volume
[TS]
00:26:56
◼
►
there's not a lot of employees is not a lot of intellectual property there I
[TS]
00:26:59
◼
►
would imagine
[TS]
00:27:00
◼
►
you're getting a superstar Tony Fadell mister iPod but like that's one person
[TS]
00:27:05
◼
►
up and 3.2 billion for him I i kind of I think the the penetration of Internet
[TS]
00:27:12
◼
►
you know the growth peak thing is a real thing but I'm not sure that's
[TS]
00:27:16
◼
►
particularly related to the next acquisition I think the easiest for the
[TS]
00:27:19
◼
►
next acquisition is the obvious one which is Google
[TS]
00:27:23
◼
►
loves information they have you know that's that's what they found so much
[TS]
00:27:26
◼

like they love advertising or they'll of information and some people think it's
[TS]
00:27:31
◼

because they're even then I spy and everything but like I see it from their
[TS]
00:27:35
◼

perspective is a sort of perspective is like think of the cool things you could
[TS]
00:27:39
◼

do we had more information what if we had pictures of every street United
[TS]
00:27:43

States what if we did what we did the inside of those like that you would go
[TS]
00:27:46
◼

from right from the street into the inside of buildings and walk around you

00:27:49

know if they could have live cameras on every street in the united states they

this is basically a massively massively distributed computing infrastructure for

Apple that would also like if you really cared about personal computer market

share by Intel and stop selling the chips and I'll see what they would hurt

the most by the server world because like

on PCs who cares people use whatever the heck is cheap and they don't care and

the PC market is dying anyway but in the server world intel has a massive lead

over everybody else and that that would suck I will never do that because it'll

be super expensive and Apple shareholders were punished severely for

people who fab ARM chips and there's AMD sitting over there going hey we sell

hey what would hold the game consoles AMD got that contract that was that was

00:33:08

about price in servers it's it's about performance per watt always wonder why

00:33:13

Intel didn't compete for the harder for the impasse surely Intel could have

00:33:16

gotten the game console thing if it wanted it but there was like 10

00:33:19

that but let let him to have well it's probably because correct me if I'm wrong
[TS]
00:33:24

are all these game console CPUs not x86 know there are six AMD AMD has

particular assets to make it good because I can put you know it has the I

00:33:35

forget what they're interconnect buses cease to be HyperTransport wherever it

is like AMD is good at making you know integrated single-chip solutions which
[TS]
00:33:44
◼

is what the game consoles need it so they I think they were better tailored
[TS]
00:33:48
◼

to that and the margins has to be way way low on the game consoles so why
[TS]
00:33:52
◼

wouldn't tell bend over backward to make its custom tailored single-chip solution
[TS]
00:33:57
◼

for game consoles and their reward is super low margins compared to the
[TS]
00:34:01
◼

martyrs they're getting on the CPU that they're selling less of myself but they
[TS]
00:34:04
◼

sell into the server space those margins are much nicer so I don't know intel
[TS]
00:34:08
◼

intel has a problem in terms of what their future business gonna be like but
[TS]
00:34:11
◼

they didn't go for the game consoles maybe would be good for them to get in

00:34:15

but I was reacting to something which aaron is saying what what would be the

equivalent purchase for Apple and Google bison as far as apple pie beats me I I

wish a few years ago they would have bought Twitter because I think that

00:34:34
◼

important area called social networks something about in the last few years
[TS]
00:34:38

but it also would have given them a massive staff and has had a run major

00:34:42

web services they tried right well I mean I'm gonna try two years ago but
[TS]
00:34:46
◼

it's just it's not their style to buy large established companies that are not

00:34:51
◼

directly related to what they're doing you know i i wouldn't see them really

doing something like this that that that that's the problem is like there is no

why would we ever by a chip manufacturer with the fam for whatever lemme the fans

this is the one thing that's different than the other stuff because there are

only few fans in the world's fastest so insanely expensive intel has the best

destiny when I mean for Samsung spending so much of their stuff still that should

sometime in the future when the weaker smaller until then and you don't think

they would want Dropbox I don't think they would but I'm thinking what is what
[TS]
00:36:56

are Apple's big weaknesses at the moment and I think relying on other fabs is a

great example and as we've whined about ad nauseam on this show in just about

with the idea of Dropbox if memory serves now they want they want to buy

Dropbox totally but if that story if any of those stories are to be believed and

I didn't see you like Apple people categorically denying them

they want me to send you have any concrete evidence that they wanted to

there and Dropbox as soon as Steve Jobs come visit your company tells you your

Dropbox know Apple should have bought them and i wish i buy Dropbox trust me

you don't wish for that if you like Dropbox at all because it happened but

Dropbox it probably would have been for the talent and maybe some of the

00:38:08

algorithms or sink techniques maybe but mostly for the talent and they probably

have shut down the product or ruined it and and not having a fab is not a

weakness of appalachia again I think apples in a strength to dismiss like we

situation of relying so heavily on your biggest competitor that just like well

that just kind of happened but by the same token like that's billions of

they're gonna keep taking your going down as long as you're so Apple is

go home and Samsung could refuse are billions of dollars to buy chips

sentence can keep taking their money as long as you keep offering it is just

until as late so I keep looking at them and so few people pointed out to me last

brought this up and when when the people including our friend Ben Thompson we're
[TS]
00:40:01

talking about this one of the problems is that supposedly people who are

smarter than me at the stuff figured out that intellectual doesn't have anywhere

00:40:23

chips on it there's a multi-billion dollar that they built the building and
[TS]
00:40:27
◼

everything they just didn't buy the family the super expensive fabric opened
[TS]
00:40:31
◼

up like two-thirds of the cost of the entire center but instead of buying
[TS]
00:40:34
◼

equipment installing it there just like saying just leave that aside for now cuz
[TS]
00:40:37
◼

they were going to find their stuff there instead they said they're gonna
[TS]
00:40:40
◼
►
414 enemy stuff in their existing fads and the reason it's speculated that
[TS]
00:40:45
◼

doing that is because they don't have enough customers to warrant opening an
[TS]
00:40:48
◼

entire new that so it's like if you know if you buy it they will build if they
[TS]
00:40:56

had if Apple Sunday said hey in 2012 to Feb all of our stuff someday they would
[TS]
00:41:00

say great we have all those excess capacity there were currently not usable
[TS]
00:41:04

by that it will install it in that building will start building more like

00:41:07

that's a problem Intel is happy to have but right now has had the opposite
[TS]
00:41:12
◼

problem that they were building with expectations of the regrowth would
[TS]
00:41:15

continue on the current trend but like a dip in the PC market and like the

out to build this giant famine Arizona looks like we're not even gonna need it

so just keep it on pause there maybe we'll need it later I think intel would

00:41:31

love to to fulfill Apple's needs but it's by increasing its capacity do you
[TS]
00:41:36

think intel will eat crow anytime soon do you think it will stop being so proud

00:41:40

and allow themselves to have Apple bully them into a deal because he know Apple

to your point earlier won't go into a deal must extremely lucrative for

Apple's well or perhaps maybe if it totally screw Samsung's so do you think

that Apple would get

despots right word but punchy enough to to give Samsung middle finger and

simultaneously Intel will get desperate enough to take on Apple I think that's

the only thing you can scare up with it would be like well I know we've been

00:43:19
◼
►
desperately needed a CPU solution Intel is willing to offer it and even that
[TS]
00:43:23

imbalance here it's here

[TS]
00:43:41
◼
►
our friends at transporter so transporter we've talked about
[TS]
00:43:46
◼
►
transporter a lot before to review in the new stuff but to review transporter
[TS]
00:43:50
◼
►
is its cool product which is basically it works in software like Dropbox but
[TS]
00:43:56
◼
►
it's a hardware external drive enclosure that you own and control so you you buy
[TS]
00:44:03
◼
►
this enclosure or the or their new protocol transporters sink which has a
[TS]
00:44:06
◼
►
USB port you plug in
[TS]
00:44:08
◼
►
any any external hard drive the already have you buy this enclosure or this
[TS]
00:44:13
◼
►
adapter for just an enclosure and your hard drive becomes a cloud storage drive
[TS]
00:44:19
◼
►
and its private and it's secure everything is encrypted back and forth
[TS]
00:44:22
◼
►
over the internet so you can have you can have this thing in your house and
[TS]
00:44:27
◼
►
you can have another one in somebody else's house or your office you can have
[TS]
00:44:30
◼
►
certain folders or the whole thing's sink to each other
[TS]
00:44:33
◼
►
you could install software on your computer or any other computers or even
[TS]
00:44:37
◼
►
on your iPhone or Android devices and iOS Android devices use me and you can
[TS]
00:44:42
◼
►
have you can access everything over the internet from that hard drive it sitting
[TS]
00:44:47
◼
►
in your house and all these folders on these files are not stored in the cloud
[TS]
00:44:52
◼
►
they are stored only on that drive or whatever you whatever computers are
[TS]
00:44:56
◼
►
seeking to it so everything is private and secure its easier for certain
[TS]
00:45:01
◼
►
regulatory compliance is easier for personal privacy and for you know if
[TS]
00:45:06
◼
►
your principles or or standards are such that you don't want to store stuff on
[TS]
00:45:09
◼
►
cloud drives if you're worried about security or the NSA it's really just
[TS]
00:45:13
◼
►
this very nice product for that this kind of hard to explain things but trust
[TS]
00:45:19
◼
►
me I just think of it like Dropbox where you own the hard drive that everything
[TS]
00:45:23
◼
►
stored on and they have awesome software you install a desktop they have a new
[TS]
00:45:30
◼
►

[TS]
00:45:36
◼
►
special user folders on Mac OS 10 you can say like think the desktop documents
[TS]
00:45:41
◼
►
downloads movies pictures music like all these like special media or destination
[TS]
00:45:46
◼
►
folders you can have those sync with Florida transport automatically and sync
[TS]
00:45:50
◼
►
between any computers you have connected to the transporter so I think about the
[TS]
00:45:54
◼
►
the possible uses of that I mean that's that's incredibly have all your photos
[TS]
00:45:57
◼
►

[TS]
00:46:01

00:46:08
◼
►
directly from your iOS device to your transporter with their with their iPhone
[TS]
00:46:12
◼

you had just asked about privacy do you care to restate the question sir Marcus
[TS]
00:47:48
◼
►
is the most the most aunty Google amongst us a lot of people free hand
[TS]
00:47:53
◼
►
over privacy concerns that not only other testifies going to start spying on
[TS]
00:47:57
◼
►
them but now like nest previously the company that they loved and trusted is
[TS]
00:48:02
◼
►
going to start making your products that come pre-installed with Google's evil
[TS]
00:48:06
◼
►
and all spy on you and steal your school and do whatever they do and you said
[TS]
00:48:11
◼
►
your not gonna get rid of your nice things but how do you feel about the
[TS]
00:48:15
◼
►
like previously if we have seen how do you feel about the company now right
[TS]
00:48:19
◼
►
whatever it now as I don't know Google has them there now they're evil I would
[TS]
00:48:23
◼
►
certainly hasn't hit me forever buying another one that's that's for sure but i
[TS]
00:48:29
◼
►
think im not gonna lie I don't hate
[TS]
00:48:34
◼
►
Google I i mean I'm kind of just a maybe a skeptic or maybe a cynic but certainly
[TS]
00:48:40
◼
►
a skeptic and and by that I mean you know I don't mean that I look at
[TS]
00:48:43
◼
►
everything and try to find the worst possible interpretation I just try I
[TS]
00:48:48
◼
►
look at things like I try to cut through the corporate speak and the you know hey
[TS]
00:48:53
◼
►
we're all friends here kind of a translation translation Petra decision
[TS]
00:48:58
◼
►
to cut through all that and because corporate communication is is just
[TS]
00:49:05
◼
►
infected with bloat and and euphemism and just just diversions you know all
[TS]
00:49:11
◼
►
this crap 22 can decode bad news or to hide things they don't really want you
[TS]
00:49:18
◼
►
to think about or they are that are in communion for you to think about and
[TS]
00:49:23
◼
►
this this you know we used to think that the tech industry was different a real
[TS]
00:49:27
◼
►
and and now the tech industry is big enough that that's not the case at a
[TS]
00:49:31
◼
►
chemistry is just as much corporate crap and all the communications everybody
[TS]
00:49:33
◼
►
else does so I tried to cut through all that and and look at things
[TS]
00:49:38
◼
►
realistically because history has proven that all these nice candy-coated
[TS]
00:49:42
◼
►
statements from the big tech companies there is usually a real truth there that
[TS]
00:49:47
◼
►
that's less pretty if you if you think about it so and history has proven that
[TS]
00:49:53
◼
►
that is usually the case once you see like you know what companies say versus
[TS]
00:49:57
◼
►
what happens and what happens next and what happens two years later I i think
[TS]
00:50:02
◼
►
im not be unreasonable as lot of this stuff so I can always write that
[TS]
00:50:06
◼
►
everyone turns evil or anything but I think I think history has shown that
[TS]
00:50:11
◼
►
there's good reason to be skeptical of what companies tell you is good reason
[TS]
00:50:15
◼
►
to cut through some of this crap that tries to candy coating spending so I
[TS]
00:50:20
◼
►
look at what they're doing here and I say well you know obviously they say now
[TS]
00:50:25
◼
►
that you don't have to worry we're keeping these companies as a separate as
[TS]
00:50:29
◼
►
separate units and nested will only be used for improved Nestor products and
[TS]
00:50:33
◼
►
services but obviously that doesn't really mean anything because they can
[TS]
00:50:37
◼
►
always change that because privacy policies can always be changed as they
[TS]
00:50:40
◼
►
can change that and
[TS]
00:50:43
◼
►
the definition of what exactly a nest products and services can be so broad
[TS]
00:50:46
◼
►
once they're owned by Google then you know it doesn't really matter so if
[TS]
00:50:52
◼
►
you're concerned about ness data being used by Google
[TS]
00:50:57
◼
►
valid concern and I don't think you can trust anything that they say to the
[TS]
00:51:01
◼
►
contrary that you shouldn't be concerned about that I think if you don't want
[TS]
00:51:05
◼
►
Google knowing stuff that your nest can find out or can or can infer then that's
[TS]
00:51:14
◼
►
a valid concern and and their statements have not done anything to alleviate that
[TS]
00:51:19
◼
►
to any critical eye that being said me personally I don't I don't care that
[TS]
00:51:23
◼
►
strongly about it you know I don't know if I cared so strongly I would block
[TS]
00:51:28
◼
►
Google in my hosts file and and just not ever use any of their services in block
[TS]
00:51:33
◼
►
all their beds everywhere and and just be fine with that I don't care strongly
[TS]
00:51:39
◼
►
about it about it you know i i try to keep a somewhat healthy distance from
[TS]
00:51:44
◼
►
google but I still use their stuff when it's the best tool for the job for them
[TS]
00:51:47
◼
►
doing and just so I still use search I still use maps and probably some of the
[TS]
00:51:53
◼
►
stuff I'm not even aware of my studies analytics on my site even though I hate
[TS]
00:51:56
◼
►
it and so you know I strongly about it and I think caring so strongly to try to
[TS]
00:52:04
◼
►
avoid one company went like like bending over backwards to avoid one company is
[TS]
00:52:10
◼
►
usually just hurting yourself and you know it's it's like when people had a
[TS]
00:52:15
◼
►
bad experience flying somewhere and I'm never gonna fly Delta never again there
[TS]
00:52:20
◼
►
at airlines at five years exactly exactly and that's all the stuff is like
[TS]
00:52:27
◼
►
this every tech giant Apple included does stuff that I don't like and it
[TS]
00:52:31
◼
►
offends me and so you just gonna have to have to look at pragmatism and say well
[TS]
00:52:35
◼
►
ok you know I I could go go . men or I could be useful and and its use to have
[TS]
00:52:44
◼
►
things be a little bit easier and everybody makes the same trade off
[TS]
00:52:47
◼
►
that's why all these ad-supported creepy services are able to exist and thrive so
[TS]
00:52:52
◼
►
well because everyone is making the same tradeoff people say I don't want to pay
[TS]
00:52:54
◼
►
for email hosting
[TS]
00:52:55
◼
►
final go to Gmail it's good enough for a TV or its the best in their opinion and
[TS]
00:53:00
◼
►
that's fine with them so you know everyone has a line where they draw to
[TS]
00:53:04
◼
►
say like well I will tolerate you know X amount of ads / creepiness slash costs
[TS]
00:53:11
◼
►
to me I will tolerate that in exchange for the service apart they want to use
[TS]
00:53:16
◼
►
and you know I just I'm not saying that you should necessarily move that line
[TS]
00:53:22
◼
►
and where you draw it I just think it's worth knowing what you're getting into
[TS]
00:53:26
◼
►
and and and looking at things critically I think I'm probably the biggest Google
[TS]
00:53:32
◼
►
fan amongst us to use more of their products like I use Gmail as my mail
[TS]
00:53:37
◼
►
calendar and let us use this search how I even use Google Plus sometimes I have
[TS]
00:53:44
◼
►
course you're doing everything and I think I think we're a lot of the
[TS]
00:53:49
◼
►
commentary on Google Nexus 10 Google privacy concerns from your market but
[TS]
00:53:55
◼
►
also from other people
[TS]
00:53:56
◼
►
goes wrong is not so much in what's going to happen but why some of the good
[TS]
00:54:03
◼
►
thing about you know it's obviously nice and cool stuff can be integrated and you
[TS]
00:54:07
◼
►
know they're they're going to share data and anything else does
[TS]
00:54:11
◼
►
by definition is to improve ness products that Samuel statement and blah
[TS]
00:54:15
◼
►
blah so they're going to be connected schools going to connect up all the
[TS]
00:54:19
◼
►
information do always through all the other products that's what Google does
[TS]
00:54:22
◼
►
and I think a lot of those things could be cool
[TS]
00:54:26
◼
►
could be could enhance Google's products can enhance national making us better
[TS]
00:54:30
◼
►
make your Android phone better illegal search better maps better give me
[TS]
00:54:34
◼
►
driving directions but like everything it's there's a lot of synergy as they
[TS]
00:54:38
◼
►
say in the business between the speed sensors that more sensors and more data
[TS]
00:54:43
◼
►
makes more intelligent decisions and that's all good and so I and i think
[TS]
00:54:48
◼
►
that's mostly how Google season because they're the people who work there like
[TS]
00:54:52
◼
►
thinking I like what can we do if we had all this information and people always
[TS]
00:54:56
◼
►
wanted sensors and stuff in the home and you know things that smart smart homes
[TS]
00:55:00
◼
►
and other crap in a way to make that happen so that's that's gonna happen
[TS]
00:55:04
◼
►
right and
[TS]
00:55:07
◼
►
the next thing is I okay well once that happens just saw happening kind of
[TS]
00:55:12
◼
►
within one company you know Google even though its cool Nestor whatever this is
[TS]
00:55:16
◼
►
all happening like some centralization of power group was already so powerful
[TS]
00:55:20
◼
►
because it had searched everything and now just more and more information is
[TS]
00:55:23
◼
►
accumulating in Google which is why people get this topic Google+
[TS]
00:55:26
◼
►
integrating with you to comment and everything is like they want to think of
[TS]
00:55:28
◼
►
it as silos those selling out behind the scenes and once it becomes clear to them
[TS]
00:55:32
◼
►
this is all going to one place in the AM I got this one company know so much
[TS]
00:55:36
◼
►
about me if I think what is Google know about me they know everything about you
[TS]
00:55:40
◼
►
know you're worried about like the NSA having meditate on your phone calls and
[TS]
00:55:43
◼
►
everything if you use all Google services they have way more information
[TS]
00:55:46
◼
►
here that obviously different because the NSA is taking it unwillingly and
[TS]
00:55:50
◼
►
that the government in it and I'm not saying this year equivalent to saying
[TS]
00:55:52
◼
►
that a lot of information about you and Google and here's where I think it goes
[TS]
00:55:57
◼
►
wrong what the danger of Google having all this information is not that Google
[TS]
00:56:02
◼
►
is going to do terrible things with it the danger of Google having all the
[TS]
00:56:05
◼
►
information is the Google will do something stupid or people will hack
[TS]
00:56:10
◼
►
them although get them I mean just look at the target thing of getting on your
[TS]
00:56:12
◼
►
credit card information on target any giant pool of information about people
[TS]
00:56:17
◼
►
as a target and the more centralized that pool is in the more valuable
[TS]
00:56:20
◼
►
information is in the more of it there is the more it to target and I don't
[TS]
00:56:24
◼
►
think Google is going to get all this information and be evil with it although
[TS]
00:56:28
◼
►
depending on your definition of evil that that may have already happened I
[TS]
00:56:31
◼
►
think the danger is also information gathering into this big funnel into
[TS]
00:56:36
◼
►
Google and Google will now that information to leak out into the world
[TS]
00:56:40
◼
►
accidentally people get it from them it will leak out
[TS]
00:56:42
◼
►
unintentionally because that's the nature of the things we've been putting
[TS]
00:56:46
◼
►
credit cards and giant databases for years and we just kept doing that until
[TS]
00:56:50
◼
►
finally you know there's a little change in the dam and some credit card or
[TS]
00:56:54
◼
►
whatever ventures gonna be look every credit card every issue has now been
[TS]
00:56:57
◼
►
stolen like netscape that's that's going to happen eventually because you this
[TS]
00:57:00
◼
►
information is in too many places all over the place and I think where people
[TS]
00:57:05
◼
►
go wrong with their Christmas and the like Google is mean and evil not doing
[TS]
00:57:08
◼
►
this because they're even know
[TS]
00:57:09
◼
►
incompetents it's gonna happen it what's gonna happen if they're doing it because
[TS]
00:57:12
◼
►
they are well-intentioned and they want to meet cool products and then that
[TS]
00:57:16
◼
►
information will get out because it's impossible not for it to get for it not
[TS]
00:57:19
◼
►
out and then we're all screwed I think the thing that that people find alarming
[TS]
00:57:25
◼
►
is that Google is getting demonstrable better over time at figuring you out and
[TS]
00:57:34
◼
►
getting a more complete picture of who you are and what you do for example at
[TS]
00:57:40
◼
►
work I was sitting there this was two or three months ago in somebody'd started
[TS]
00:57:46
◼
►
like spazzing out at their computer and they were kind of modern themselves
[TS]
00:57:49
◼
►
while whites and then the same almost exact same thing happened just a week or
[TS]
00:57:54
◼
►
two ago what was going on was when that person with my co-workers went to KU to
[TS]
00:58:00
◼
►
google.com it had like I didn't see myself but it it had like confetti or
[TS]
00:58:05
◼

happy birthday is bad but it was taking information that yes they willingly
[TS]
00:58:29

provided to Google but maybe gmail for example and using it on google.com and
[TS]
00:58:35

just like you said John you know it's it's not really siloed but it sort of

I with each passing year and I think that the again the real problem instead
[TS]
00:58:58
◼

that Google's getting a more complete picture of who we are and to think that
[TS]
00:59:02

00:59:36
◼

that was a nice way of saying we only to relax and this may not be so bad and I
[TS]
00:59:42
◼

think that's both right and wrong I don't think it's going to be bad soon I
[TS]
00:59:45
◼

don't think it may not be bad at all but the thing that creeps me out is when I
[TS]
00:59:51
◼

was in college I was just graduating from Virginia Tech in 2004 when this is
[TS]
00:59:57
◼

right around the time of Google Gmail came out and I remember covering a gmail
[TS]
01:00:02
◼

invite like nobody's business for sale on eBay for like $100 exactly in so I
[TS]
01:00:08

wanted one so so badly and in soon I eventually had a friend at school that
[TS]
01:00:16
◼

that got one and he gave me an invite in all my god I'm so excited because Google
[TS]
01:00:21
◼

doesn't do evil it says it in the fridge amato they don't do evil and I was so
[TS]
01:00:26

excited have a gmail invite I can get away
[TS]
01:00:28
◼

well I knew I was going to have to leave my my Virginia Tech email address and

was so excited to be on Gmail fast forward from 2004 to 2040 name a decade
[TS]
01:00:42
◼
►
later and everytime Google does something I end up giving it harder and
[TS]
01:00:47
◼
►
harder side I and I look at it again be like that you're doing the same thing
[TS]
01:00:53
◼

though they got your friend who was freaked out about the birthday thing and
[TS]
01:00:55
◼
►
you are both miss attributing your discomfort to Google Google does not
[TS]
01:00:59
◼

have your your personal information does not have any value to Google in the way
[TS]
01:01:04
◼

that you mean like now they know you're cheating on your wife and they have this
[TS]
01:01:09
◼

they can sell you like you know what does that actually madison.com whatever

salacious Lee trolling through the details information but the discomfort
[TS]
01:01:27
◼
►
you feel is founded in its founded in not the Google is gonna do evil things
[TS]
01:01:30
◼
►
with your thing is that once Google has that information
[TS]
01:01:34
◼
►
everybody else who would want that information knows exactly where to get
[TS]
01:01:38
◼
►
they go to Google if you want to find out
[TS]
01:01:40
◼

Google's not going to use that information it is not in Google's best

probably to shoot sway the the the outcome of political races are a move

politics is about choices actually prolly would be cool interest but i

01:02:08
◼

to school today because I tractor your GPS was on your Android phone to your
[TS]
01:02:11

check-ins and I'm gonna tell your parents that you didn't go to school
[TS]
01:02:13
◼
►
Google is not gonna do that it is really dumb to do evil things with that
[TS]
01:02:18
◼

information but once Google has information which one that information
[TS]
01:02:21
◼

is in one place everybody else who wants to do bad things to you and the mundane
[TS]
01:02:27
◼

you know your random dirty guy down the block or a bunch of hackers who want to
[TS]
01:02:31
◼

get it and sell it to people who want to use it or whatever that's the problem
[TS]
01:02:34
◼

and so on people when you giving you a hard side I it's not that you shouldn't
[TS]
01:02:39
◼

be afraid the Google is gonna do evil stuff because that would be incredibly
[TS]
01:02:42
◼
►
stupid for Google to do evil stuff to you it wouldn't it would not be in their
[TS]
01:02:46
◼

interest but you you do know that they have this information and you do know
[TS]
01:02:50
◼
►
there's someone out there who would want another network together
[TS]
01:02:52
◼
►
yeah and I think you're right but it's not necessarily about Google doing evil
[TS]
01:02:58
◼
►
it's about the mundane things that you think should fly under everyone's radar
[TS]
01:03:05
◼
►
anymore let me give you a concrete example friend of mine at work my buddy
[TS]
01:03:09
◼
►
George he said to me oh you know I was looking up how much it would be to pay
[TS]
01:03:14
◼
►
off the rest of the loan in my car and he said I did this on Saturday that will
[TS]
01:03:20
◼
►
get this case he's come monday I got a call from my dealer that I bought the
[TS]
01:03:27
◼
►
car from saying hey man you know everything about coming in and upgrading
[TS]
01:03:30
◼
►
your car and there was something else he had said mean I don't recall what it was
[TS]
01:03:34
◼
►
but it was a couple of me begun email from someone someone else that wanted to
[TS]
01:03:39
◼
►
like get him into a new BMW
[TS]
01:03:42
◼
►
he has a BMW now and so it was very creepy that him doing nothing but
[TS]
01:03:48
◼
►
looking at how much it would cost to finish his loan
[TS]
01:03:51
◼
►
presumably mean that we don't know this for sure but presumably led to some
[TS]
01:03:57
◼
►
dealer calling him in saying hey do you want to get into new BMW I bet we can
[TS]
01:04:02
◼
►
make that happen in so the point of driving this was a very mundane thing
[TS]
01:04:06
◼
►
that he didn't think would make any difference and suddenly he's now getting
[TS]
01:04:11
◼
►
heckled from a dealer because of it and I think Google having a more complete
[TS]
01:04:15
◼
►
picture of who each one of us is could lead to things like that in another
[TS]
01:04:20
◼
►
example is tight I in the chat earlier said I read the same article but I
[TS]
01:04:24
◼
►
forget the details that target had started emailing some woman's some young
[TS]
01:04:30
◼
►
ladies dad because I like shared a credit card or something like that
[TS]
01:04:34
◼
►
information like hey we think you might like the following things and the things
[TS]
01:04:40
◼
►
were all things for new moms so target had deduced based on the purchases that
[TS]
01:04:45
◼
►
that the young woman made that she was probably pregnant and will probably need
[TS]
01:04:49
◼
►
the following things and so her dad found out that his daughter was that
[TS]
01:04:54
◼
►
that the daughter was pregnant by way of target saying hey we think you might
[TS]
01:04:57
◼

want the following and that's just weird like that was old world tech tracking
[TS]
01:05:03
◼

your credit cards for decades and you know that you don't need too much
[TS]
01:05:06
◼

information about is where how do you make the system work because in one in

01:05:10

some respects inevitable that is going to be more information but always out
[TS]
01:05:13
◼

there and it's getting more interconnected and that's just the
[TS]
01:05:14
◼
►
bottom line like there's no turning back on it because the usefulness of these
[TS]
01:05:17
◼
►
two great outweighs the same thing with credit card when you pay for everything
[TS]
01:05:20
◼
►
with cash nobody knew what you bought the credit card their way to get me and
[TS]
01:05:23
◼
►
we are willing to live with the fact that the credit card company knows
[TS]
01:05:25
◼

everything we buy we made that decision
[TS]
01:05:27

decades ago everyone's ok with it the thought of it is sometimes targets and

that I was talking about the care member when we used to be excited when Google

rerunning the story every year

been skeptical of Google and and expressing fear of an unchecked Google I

think I think a few years longer than most people have in in the tech writing

out in the middle of the woods
[TS]
01:15:13
◼

you know you are I am that's true but it felt like I was the only one who felt
[TS]
01:15:19
◼

this way who'd wasn't that excited whenever Google would roll out some new
[TS]
01:15:23
◼

feature that would crush the whole industry you know and and who was like I
[TS]
01:15:26
◼

was never I was never like all in on Google shares that may be with the data
[TS]
01:15:31

Usenet post and that's how they got all that became Gulu groups and a good news
[TS]
01:15:46
◼

was like outdated news great you can find stuff and you could use that was
[TS]
01:15:49

terrible to use like the native way and so you would use day's news in the
[TS]
01:15:53
◼

Googlebot Americans like to bed and that like I don't know what date that is on
[TS]
01:15:57
◼

the chair encoded up with that was a long time ago and that was I think the
[TS]
01:16:00
◼
►
first time that conversation came up at like we all love Google we all of data
[TS]
01:16:05
◼
►
news why are we happy when Google by station news well groups is why what
[TS]
01:16:11
◼
►
gives me hope is that this is no longer an isolated opinion this is no longer
[TS]
01:16:15
◼
►
minority opinion this and it was even back then it was even a year ago it was
[TS]
01:16:20
◼

now though people are starting to get a little bit creeped out by Google and I
[TS]
01:16:25
◼
►
think that's the best for everybody including Google that people are finally
[TS]
01:16:29
◼
►
getting a little bit skeptical a little bit like you know maybe we should put a
[TS]
01:16:34
◼
►
little more critical thought of this before we go celebrate and through all
[TS]
01:16:37
◼
►
of our data in here and I thought that's just that's a very good spread spreading
[TS]
01:16:41
◼

wider like the nerds have always been concerned but sharon says it was 2001
[TS]
01:16:45
◼

news but now it's spreading wide and varied just attack married site but just
[TS]
01:16:51
◼
►
like I don't get enough like the new york times and stuff today is coming up
[TS]
01:16:56
◼
►
at that point but I think now if you asked
[TS]
01:16:58
◼
►
if you ask the average person how do you feel about Google acquiring company
[TS]
01:17:02
◼
►
they're gonna say I don't know what next as explained to me if they think about
[TS]
01:17:05
◼
►
it for a little while to them you know getting a lot of information about us
[TS]
01:17:10
◼
►
and I think like you know it's just been slowly ramping up maybe once we get the
[TS]
01:17:14
◼
►
mainstream kind of acceptance but you can take a microphone to anyone on the
[TS]
01:17:16
◼
►
street and say hey Google thinking of buying X what do you think about that
[TS]
01:17:20
◼
►
and they grown then that's it you know they will have commit complete
[TS]
01:17:23
◼

penetration so I think it's escalating and I guess you measure it in in our
[TS]
01:17:28
◼

nerd nearby
[TS]
01:17:31
◼
►
number and volume of in terms of loudness of posted whenever Google by
[TS]
01:17:38
◼

somebody and so maybe like this time there's even more articles in there even
[TS]
01:17:42
◼

more strained an angry about it but i dont not quite sure to cross over the
[TS]
01:17:47

USA today maybe USA to write a story about this but will will the tone of the

01:17:52

USA today's story be look at all the extra information goals getting about

01:17:56
◼

you and is it an unsafe that one company information and again I cringe every
[TS]
01:17:59
◼

time it's like because Google is going to do evil things with the Cougars going
[TS]
01:18:03
◼
►
to stuff to make some money with it and maybe that's an average sizes and stuff
[TS]
01:18:07
◼

like that in my view consider the evil but Google is not going to tell your
[TS]
01:18:10
◼

wife is not include interest to do that on purpose anyway they do accidentally
[TS]
01:18:14
◼

did you see the flat LED light bulbs
[TS]
01:21:55
◼

Phillips ones yeah yeah as soon as I can buy 1 I'll just try it out but it's it's
[TS]
01:22:00
◼

getting to the point now where there's tons of pretty decent LED bulbs that are
[TS]
01:22:06
◼

roughly 60 Watts equivalent in brightness for roughly $12 it why do
[TS]
01:22:10
◼

they keep doing only sixties I would but I would start buying them maybe if it
[TS]
01:22:13
◼

hundreds equipment why did find a good hundreds of them but it's still like
[TS]
01:22:17
◼

fifty-five dollars so I bought one of them and it's awesome I put it in like
[TS]
01:22:22
◼

in the 10 lab next to my desk that I've had that I was keeping a CFL in all
[TS]
01:22:27
◼

these are all these years I think I think I know whether all well there's
[TS]
01:22:30
◼
►
probably some technical reason for the low wattage but you know in terms of
[TS]
01:22:34
◼
►
marketing and selling them I think they'll watch because people who have
[TS]
01:22:38
◼
►
enough money to buy LED light bulbs also houses with many pictures and a lot of a
[TS]
01:22:43
◼
►
lot of fixtures will use like late one to three 60 watt bulbs like if you have
[TS]
01:22:49
◼

a lot of pictures you don't put a hundred water equivalent bulb in
[TS]
01:22:51
◼

seventeen pictures right whereas my house which is ancient and
[TS]
01:22:55
◼
►
described it as very few pictures so I need those pictures to be super duper
[TS]
01:22:59
◼

bright so I will be willing to buy the you know the highest output both you can
[TS]
01:23:03
◼

put in there and I would love it if they didn't actually consumed hundred-plus
[TS]
01:23:08
◼

wats electricity producer you know and Jen you know transferring most of the
[TS]
01:23:11
◼
►
heat and putting out a little bit like well also I i think one of the one of
[TS]
01:23:16
◼
►
the reasons I mean first of all I think the technical reason for it is is
[TS]
01:23:19
◼
►
substantial and that is I believe mostly heat-related because yes led to produce
[TS]
01:23:24
◼

way less heat than incandescents but there are also a lot less tolerant of
[TS]
01:23:29
◼

heat himself that he is concentrated in a small area you know I i've heard that
[TS]
01:23:34
◼

said I don't think that's the problem I do the problems that led themselves are
[TS]
01:23:39
◼

not are not that tolerant of operating in extremely high temperatures for a
[TS]
01:23:43
◼

very long time but that's probably true to their word every bit like the Philips
[TS]
01:23:48
◼

Bobo some rather flat won the Innovation on it is they spread things out so it
[TS]
01:23:52
◼
►
dissipates heat better at the same amount of heat output but it spread out
[TS]
01:23:56
◼
►
over its like instead and they don't have to put a big gun metal heat sink I
[TS]
01:23:59
◼
►
like it it's kind of like be the air-cooled equivalent they spread
[TS]
01:24:03
◼
►
everything out in a big fan shape on this flat plane apparently that helps
[TS]
01:24:06
◼

cooling and its way cheaper to do that and it is doing it put a big expensive

01:24:11

metal heaps income thing as of January 2014 it is I'm pretty sure it's now
[TS]
01:24:15
◼

illegal to to sell manufacture hunter watt bulbs in the us- which is why
[TS]
01:24:21
◼

there's all of a sudden a few a few more hundred-word equivalent LED something
[TS]
01:24:24
◼

that is plenty of CFL so yeah but CFLs are so awful house doubled them and and
[TS]
01:24:34
◼
►
they're awful right I not as sensitive to light color as you are apparently
[TS]
01:24:38
◼

because they don't bother me nearly as much as I seem to bother you and the
[TS]
01:24:42
◼

flickering or whatever this seems to bother people doesn't either I don't see
[TS]
01:24:45
◼

it or doesn't bother me and they take less energy than incandescent so I
[TS]
01:24:49
◼

replaced all my because they're so cheap like the cheap compared LEDs so I don't
[TS]
01:24:54
◼

think we have any conditions like now is also a part of me wishes that I had more
[TS]
01:25:01

in in satisfaction between CFLs and LEDs CFLs CFLs were were mediocre when they

were new and then as they were as they age their colors would shift and get

01:26:56

even worse and take longer to warm to full brightness and it was a disaster
