00:00:00 ◼ ► Yes No I don't duck the question if you know look at the file. All right so let's start with some follow up. [TS]
00:00:10 ◼ ► To begin we have some follow up about the Tivo O.T. or Oter if you're Marco Otara my apologies. [TS]
00:00:24 ◼ ► Might be good for I said you know get it try it out if you don't like it you know the stopping of it in dollars a month [TS]
00:00:31 ◼ ► just points out that those require a one year commitment of service that has a thirty day money back guarantee in which [TS]
00:00:37 ◼ ► you can cancel or return it but you can't keep it for a couple months to see if you like it. [TS]
00:00:42 ◼ ► I didn't I didn't actually check whether this is true but I trust him like a trustworthy guy with a lone first name [TS]
00:00:49 ◼ ► and a last name so you go you know because over the air is not a wasteland of just four networks in San Francisco [TS]
00:00:57 ◼ ► and Dan Benjamin thermoses go rant here. There is over ninety distinct channels of content available over the air. [TS]
00:01:06 ◼ ► but there's tons of that stuff on cable to sell apparently in some places actually have lots of channels coming over [TS]
00:01:11 ◼ ► there. Yeah but like what kind of channels like is there that you actually want to watch. [TS]
00:01:14 ◼ ► See that's the thing so Aaron and I have season tickets to the universe of any football team. [TS]
00:01:21 ◼ ► And we've gotten pretty serious about the tailgates with a mutual friend of ours Brian and he brings a generator [TS]
00:01:32 ◼ ► and in Charlottesville Virginia which we've all established that you two think is basically the middle of nowhere. [TS]
00:01:42 ◼ ► and here in Richmond as well because of the Internet here we get I think Fox C.B.S. N.B.C. A.B.C. [TS]
00:01:50 ◼ ► I do know we get the C W Which was I was a little surprised to see but that's basically it [TS]
00:02:03 ◼ ► or three sub channels like weather which just shows the weather non-stop it's like a dashboard if you will. [TS]
00:02:19 ◼ ► but I tell you what this is where I live is not one of those places. Do we have any of the follow up. [TS]
00:02:34 ◼ ► Boateng album doing well he sent us a link to a tumbler dedicated to frayed lightning cables that is appropriately [TS]
00:02:42 ◼ ► named for a lightning cables dot com a dot com In fact it has more than just frayed lightning cables on it [TS]
00:02:47 ◼ ► but a lot of the things I had they were chewed by Animals I Have No no promise about what made these things fray I [TS]
00:02:55 ◼ ► but if you want to see a bunch of free lightning cables you know Rule thirty four an hour and all go for it. All right. [TS]
00:03:03 ◼ ► Yeah next bit of follow up is about Amazon buying twitch and how Google was look like they were interested [TS]
00:03:13 ◼ ► Here is a rumor sent to us by Hunter on Twitter saying the rumor is that the break up fee was too high relative to the [TS]
00:03:20 ◼ ► risk of regulators killing it so Google was going to buy them normally as part of the deal they say OK well we agreed [TS]
00:03:26 ◼ ► to buy you and it turns out that the U.S. Government doesn't let us buy you for like anti trust reasons or whatever. [TS]
00:03:31 ◼ ► There's some theory that will still pay you as part of this deal and apparently twitch wanted to break up see. [TS]
00:03:41 ◼ ► but I would that explains why twitch might have accepted an offer from Amazon that is reportedly lower than what Google [TS]
00:03:47 ◼ ► was willing to offer for them because there's more to the deal than just the numbers also what you're paying in cash [TS]
00:03:54 ◼ ► or stock and also things like break up fees so this is a plausible rumor about why. [TS]
00:04:00 ◼ ► Which might have gone with Amazon set ago. All right what about we breezed your file I'm not sure I shall forget it. [TS]
00:04:07 ◼ ► I'm impressed. Let's start with something cool and then we'll get into the real meat of the episode. [TS]
00:04:22 ◼ ► But anyway it's H A R R Y S dot com a kind of Harry's You know with the apostrophe but you can't put an apostrophe [TS]
00:04:28 ◼ ► or else I don't think police and host names anyway go to Harry's dot com and use promo code A.T.P. [TS]
00:04:45 ◼ ► Harry's offers a better shaving experience and better value than the Giants in the space like shaken Gillette. [TS]
00:04:52 ◼ ► So here is this is very much like like some or other sponsors like Parker's or eyeglasses. [TS]
00:05:01 ◼ ► and this is not a coincidence because one of the founders of Harry's Jeff also was the co-founder of Warby Parker So [TS]
00:05:11 ◼ ► Both of them are disrupting huge stagnant industries by offering great design meticulous craftsmanship [TS]
00:05:17 ◼ ► and great highly personal customer service and most of all they're offering this at an amazing value. [TS]
00:05:22 ◼ ► The other founder Andy he was motivated to to address shaving because he went to a drugstore one dated to restock on [TS]
00:05:31 ◼ ► and wait around for more than ten minutes for someone to come unlock the shoplifter resistant razor case [TS]
00:05:37 ◼ ► and he was eventually permitted to buy a four pack of blades and some shaving cream [TS]
00:05:44 ◼ ► and having a bunch of time wasted he to pay over twenty five dollars for just four blades and some shaving cream. [TS]
00:05:52 ◼ ► Harry is makes amazing German engineer blades they care so much about the quality of these blades they actually bought [TS]
00:06:00 ◼ ► German factory that makes the blades they did they went on the you you make great plays we're going to just buy you out. [TS]
00:06:10 ◼ ► and women a great shaving experience for a fraction of the price of their competitors they charge less than two dollars [TS]
00:06:18 ◼ ► and if you go look around at what you've been paying for reader cartridges from the big brands under two dollars each [TS]
00:06:25 ◼ ► is probably about half of what you've been paying if you've been getting a good deal. [TS]
00:06:36 ◼ ► and they're really good I was I was surprised you know I was worried that I might I might like try it [TS]
00:06:42 ◼ ► and maybe I wouldn't like it and I just wouldn't say anything because of awkward but I know I tried these [TS]
00:06:49 ◼ ► They I was very impressed by the blades and by the handle the handles like nice and weighty. [TS]
00:06:53 ◼ ► Everything about it is very high quality packaging is really nice. I was I was very impressed by all of it. [TS]
00:06:59 ◼ ► Harry's you get the convenience and ease of ordering online you get high quality blades you get a great handle [TS]
00:07:10 ◼ ► You can say you can try your so if you could see what I'm talking about guessers today with a set include the handle [TS]
00:07:20 ◼ ► That's a fifteen bucks including shipping for a handle three blades and green. You can't beat that. [TS]
00:07:25 ◼ ► Harry's even offers a custom engraving option on the handle if you are that kind of person. [TS]
00:07:33 ◼ ► To save five dollars off your first purchase thank you very much to Harry's for sponsoring our show once again. [TS]
00:07:39 ◼ ► So Marco when you were big into P C Did you read Tom's Hardware very often of course. [TS]
00:07:46 ◼ ► Yeah I remember back when they made Intel recall the one point one gigahertz penny. [TS]
00:08:06 ◼ ► I don't know ten years ago ish maybe even fifteen now just to talk about the real nitty gritty about hardware for the [TS]
00:08:15 ◼ ► P.C. World and to me is it. Anand techer Nanda tech I'm probably pronouncing it wrong both ways. [TS]
00:08:22 ◼ ► Do we know which one it is. John you're in charge of princes on the show. I got nothing on this one I don't buy it. [TS]
00:08:31 ◼ ► So an intact seem to me anyway to be very much the Toms Hardware of the Apple world in twenty fourteen [TS]
00:08:39 ◼ ► and if that doesn't sound like a compliment it should because that is a huge compliment [TS]
00:08:44 ◼ ► and apparently now going to say a non-self totally inconsistent but in times has left [TS]
00:08:50 ◼ ► and as it turns out he's going somewhere very interesting he's off to Apple. So Marco What do you think about all this. [TS]
00:08:59 ◼ ► I think I'm honestly I'm disappointed that we're not going to read any more of his awesome reviews because what he you [TS]
00:09:05 ◼ ► know I compare him to John like what what John does for software and then we're due for hardware [TS]
00:09:20 ◼ ► and he was really just incredibly good at both writing about this stuff at seeing what's what's here seeing what's [TS]
00:09:29 ◼ ► and explaining very very complex things about you know things like chip design you know explaining that in a way that [TS]
00:09:38 ◼ ► and so we don't know what he's doing in Apple We also know that they hired Brian clued into is that right. [TS]
00:09:45 ◼ ► I believe that's right. They hired Brian clue who was also a writer at an end tech. [TS]
00:09:49 ◼ ► So so they hired Apple apparently hired him very quietly a few months back and so anyways anally got both of them. I. [TS]
00:10:00 ◼ ► Working for I don't know what their qualifications are exactly I would I was unsure guess that I don't know much about [TS]
00:10:05 ◼ ► Browder ensure against the demand probably knows probably has has enough background to work on the ticket on department [TS]
00:10:13 ◼ ► Yeah that's the question like When he posted on the site that he was just retiring he didn't say where he was going he [TS]
00:10:19 ◼ ► just said like I'm retiring from tech kernels which is different than leaving the Web site that bears my name like you [TS]
00:10:26 ◼ ► or something with something he wasn't leaving the Web site to go over some of those now I'm retiring from tech [TS]
00:10:31 ◼ ► and minus one tempered agent that was he wanted to do something else right because he's obviously has retired generals [TS]
00:10:40 ◼ ► and some other Web site is not going to start his own Web site with a different name [TS]
00:10:43 ◼ ► or you know like that that he was done with that and he wanted to do something else with this one [TS]
00:10:48 ◼ ► and then I tweeted that day like here are the list of companies that should be trying to hire him [TS]
00:10:54 ◼ ► and what I was doing that I was trying to think like what what value could he bring to a company [TS]
00:11:08 ◼ ► and in all of his contact with these various hardware vendors he definitely has some frustration with Intel like we all [TS]
00:11:20 ◼ ► When they sold all their ARM Holdings to get rid of you know they stop trying to make ARM chips to do their own thing. [TS]
00:11:30 ◼ ► and how that's going into various software initiatives vacation we have are they just going to be a fab [TS]
00:11:38 ◼ ► He had interesting things to say about what he thought Intel should be doing with their business [TS]
00:11:43 ◼ ► and how competitive their products actually are and could potentially be in the future [TS]
00:11:47 ◼ ► and I'm sure he told in tower all these things and he told the same thing to anybody which is the company I was did [TS]
00:11:53 ◼ ► and a bunch of other people you know it's kind of like an outsider's perspective of like look inside the Intel bubble [TS]
00:11:58 ◼ ► you maybe think you're doing. Right Thing but from my perspective you are you know you should be doing X. Y. and Z. [TS]
00:12:04 ◼ ► and You're not or you should do this sooner or later you should acquire this company or start doing that. [TS]
00:12:07 ◼ ► Stop doing that. So it seems like he had a lot of insight into their business and that would be valuable to them. [TS]
00:12:14 ◼ ► And same thing with other companies is that's what being content with these hardware vendors [TS]
00:12:17 ◼ ► and you would meet with them and they would explain what their upcoming line of things are and [TS]
00:12:24 ◼ ► and to their faces like you know I think you can do this and this other company doing that [TS]
00:12:28 ◼ ► and you know like just giving his opinion like what he wrote on his website about all of this is big picture things not [TS]
00:12:43 ◼ ► when it came out that he was going to Apple I didn't put up on a list because I thought that of all the things he can [TS]
00:12:50 ◼ ► offer Apple probably had existing people doing those same things and didn't seem as like sort of rudderless you know [TS]
00:12:58 ◼ ► or as sort of flailing at some of these other companies like Apple seems to have it stuff together right. [TS]
00:13:04 ◼ ► But Apple did hire him which again shows they're probably other stuff together more than other companies are going to [TS]
00:13:08 ◼ ► probably don't even know they need someone like him but Apple does know that having someone like him is valuable [TS]
00:13:12 ◼ ► and I was trying to think what he could do for Apple a lot of people guessed that he would have something to do with [TS]
00:13:18 ◼ ► and he certainly does have a heck of a lot of experience at the interface between technology companies and press [TS]
00:13:23 ◼ ► but he's always on the other side of it so I don't quite see what he would do for Apple on the I don't know I may be I [TS]
00:13:34 ◼ ► but I don't know if that would interest them I don't know enough about it interest chip stuff I don't know if he's ever [TS]
00:13:40 ◼ ► designed to be got opinions that J.P. Knows a lot about architecture on the broad level but down to the nitty gritty. [TS]
00:13:45 ◼ ► I don't know if he has that depth of knowledge about you know laying out laying out circuits [TS]
00:13:52 ◼ ► or deciding like you know and maybe you don't have to maybe you can be more you know a visor a supervisory role there. [TS]
00:14:08 ◼ ► Which is why Apple will never hire me as likely only have one call to do it. Apple is a tell everyone what to do. [TS]
00:14:18 ◼ ► and not just by saying well I have an opinion. Yeah well that's why you don't get that job right. [TS]
00:14:25 ◼ ► and has much more you know you have he has close contact with so many vendors in the harbor interesting [TS]
00:14:31 ◼ ► and such in-depth knowledge of all of their products and that that is valuable to them [TS]
00:14:35 ◼ ► and so it seems like he would have to be in a position of some considerable authority like you're not going to just [TS]
00:14:41 ◼ ► make him be some with another car going to machine like he left the Web site the founder he was fourteen [TS]
00:14:46 ◼ ► and has his name on it so I think he's in obsession where he's going to be able to make big moves [TS]
00:14:54 ◼ ► and be an important part of Apple's organization I find that exciting. Yeah I hope so. [TS]
00:14:59 ◼ ► You know like so in the chat room Pavan or a person linked to this thing will put in the show. [TS]
00:15:05 ◼ ► It's Apple Jobs entry on on their on their job site where it fits the job title is performance marketing analyst [TS]
00:15:20 ◼ ► and help prepare performance data to support product managers in creating compelling performance stories for product [TS]
00:15:41 ◼ ► This doesn't seem like it's a big enough car in an important part of a machine like that he's a little overqualified [TS]
00:15:48 ◼ ► but on the other hand Apple is the kind of company that smart enough to get someone is overqualified to fill because [TS]
00:15:54 ◼ ► like that position doesn't necessarily have to be as kind of grunt work as it seems because you could. [TS]
00:16:07 ◼ ► In this review combination and really they would've ended up with a better platform. They don't X. Y. and Z. [TS]
00:16:12 ◼ ► but He can actually make that happen whereas if you doing comparison tests of like prototype hardware inside the [TS]
00:16:16 ◼ ► company and it's OK Well for this one thing and for the next chip I think these guys are going to do X. Y. and Z. [TS]
00:16:23 ◼ ► That like you can actually influence the roadmap as opposed to just commenting on it from the outside. [TS]
00:16:30 ◼ ► but like the head of all the people doing that is potentially a powerful position within the organization because you [TS]
00:16:38 ◼ ► and that I mean you know that that's could be beneficial to Apple and I think it might be interesting to them. [TS]
00:16:44 ◼ ► Yeah I definitely think you know if if there is a chance that he's actually going to be involved in like you know [TS]
00:16:49 ◼ ► component selection maybe like you know what you're saying like trying to influence you know not necessarily designing [TS]
00:16:54 ◼ ► the chips but try to like helping Apple figure out you know what kind of G.P.U. Should they be. [TS]
00:17:06 ◼ ► and I'd imagine he's he's very much qualified to do that sort of thing so but who knows. [TS]
00:17:12 ◼ ► and I have a feeling it might be a while before we even figure out you know what exactly he's doing you know in the [TS]
00:17:20 ◼ ► thing that's interesting to me about it is he was kind of the big cheese in this apple bubble or what [TS]
00:17:26 ◼ ► when it comes to hardware related things I mean I think he was certainly an extremely important person in the community. [TS]
00:17:34 ◼ ► And if I'm maybe I'm just egotistic jerk but if I were to if I were unarmed and I was thinking whether [TS]
00:17:42 ◼ ► or not I should go to Apple it would have it would take a lot for me to say you know what I'm going to you know hang up [TS]
00:17:52 ◼ ► and I'm going to go work in a place that usually doesn't really smile upon being forthcoming. [TS]
00:18:00 ◼ ► And being very public with what you do and his whole existence up until this point was being forthcoming [TS]
00:18:09 ◼ ► And so whatever it is it's got to have scratched an itch that and an Tekken on tech couldn't scratch before. [TS]
00:18:22 ◼ ► and especially if he does end up in engineering in what is that going to mean I'm not sure what his background is it [TS]
00:18:37 ◼ ► but whatever it is it's certainly an interesting move to Iran he says that Brian CLUCAS an optical engineer which you [TS]
00:18:52 ◼ ► but if he is actually a trained optical engineer that makes sense that he might have something there with cameras [TS]
00:19:06 ◼ ► or review type stuff they would have kept doing that on an on an end to act like they had a great set up there. [TS]
00:19:14 ◼ ► Like I think they would need to go to Apple to do something else to do something more engineering focused maybe like [TS]
00:19:19 ◼ ► there's no way they're going to Apple to go make a graph of the market apartment not a chance [TS]
00:19:25 ◼ ► and say that Apple it's not like we're ever going to know it's not like that and they're like oh we don't know now [TS]
00:19:30 ◼ ► but I'm sure Apple tell exactly what now they're never going to tell us like it's you know we see em next year we can [TS]
00:19:36 ◼ ► talk to him about it and maybe you know but like how many people do we know at Apple [TS]
00:19:42 ◼ ► and like that's it you know what specifically we're going to get you know it's like well you just accept it like you're [TS]
00:19:52 ◼ ► or a group that's as close as you can get usually And we don't even know if Phil Schiller does you know he does like [TS]
00:20:01 ◼ ► He goes he goes to Red Sox games right any of mountain bikes mountain bike sometime he buys R.H. For his team. [TS]
00:20:12 ◼ ► and his title doesn't mean anything so real real time follow up the chat room is telling us that Anon has a computer [TS]
00:20:22 ◼ ► and Surtees are from North Carolina State University which I actually very nearly went to it was between that Virginia [TS]
00:20:29 ◼ ► Tech such as rich in Utah so he certainly has an engineering background now you could argue whether [TS]
00:20:34 ◼ ► or not he's practiced that in the traditional sense of the word in the last I don't know ten years or whatever [TS]
00:20:39 ◼ ► but he certainly has the education to support him being in the engineering department. [TS]
00:20:44 ◼ ► It's a question as to whether or not he actually is in the engineering department right. [TS]
00:20:54 ◼ ► and it can't it can't be underestimated like who who in the entire industry has had more contact with the vendors that [TS]
00:21:09 ◼ ► Thing and goes to Samsung in Korea and goes to you know all the manufacturers in the Far East [TS]
00:21:15 ◼ ► and like just this incredibly detailed technical briefings on hardware and get to sample hardware and test it [TS]
00:21:21 ◼ ► and benchmark like who else has done that like this you know maybe with a couple of other web sites that are maybe [TS]
00:21:27 ◼ ► competitive like Real World tag or Extreme Tech and Tom hardware store around or whatever [TS]
00:21:31 ◼ ► but what kind of person is going on that circuit being in contact with companies of the course of years [TS]
00:21:37 ◼ ► and years like that is the experience that you can't buy from someone who you know comes out of college education [TS]
00:21:44 ◼ ► and I should also note more real time follow up from a different of the show Ben Thompson a nun was more than just Apple [TS]
00:21:52 ◼ ► and he was and I didn't realize this but apparently he and his site were more of a general. [TS]
00:22:00 ◼ ► Hardware reviews you never read that's what you read Tom's Hardware but not on tech. [TS]
00:22:05 ◼ ► He just got into Apple stuff like you know sort of a late comer like you and Marco you [TS]
00:22:09 ◼ ► and Margo moralizer I'd like to hear your view do you know all the P.C. Hardware type stuff. [TS]
00:22:14 ◼ ► Well maybe Apple has a MITI seven he got sucked in because Apple stuff is really cool just like you did it wasn't [TS]
00:22:18 ◼ ► wasn't the retina mapper pro is first mac now I was before the May be afraid of personal Mac. [TS]
00:22:26 ◼ ► and then they just all got hooked like that I mean it had been our second go to I may have had something to do with [TS]
00:22:31 ◼ ► that it's a lot like the way I read arse technical like I always read your reviews [TS]
00:22:38 ◼ ► I read occasional things that are non tech I can't say I read every single post by any stretch of the imagination [TS]
00:22:45 ◼ ► but like Mark I said in recent years it's been like if you want a review of the i Phone that is that is different then [TS]
00:22:51 ◼ ► like you know not just the product review but the guy was going to rip open the C.P.U. [TS]
00:22:55 ◼ ► and Talk about all the you know that's the site I would go to that was my go to site for that kind of review. [TS]
00:23:02 ◼ ► but I presume that there's quite a bit more to a non-technical sat in those I did not see. [TS]
00:23:08 ◼ ► Yeah I go there for I mean they have storage reviews are made up of lots of people writing their I mean aside I think [TS]
00:23:12 ◼ ► it's in good hands like that he doesn't write every single thing on the side obviously [TS]
00:23:17 ◼ ► and as a season you know graphic card stuff on that site is like a lot of the P.C. [TS]
00:23:22 ◼ ► Originated inside very big on benchmarks lots of graphs you know if I want to know what video. [TS]
00:23:31 ◼ ► and I think I have a big circle benchmark database for that like they're very thorough in that same vein they're [TS]
00:23:36 ◼ ► they're great at a photo to it even though it's not there and I hope he does great things for Apple. [TS]
00:23:44 ◼ ► All right we're also sponsored this week by our friends at square space square space is the only one platform that [TS]
00:23:54 ◼ ► Portfolio an online store for free trial and ten percent off minute squarespace dot com. And in her offer code A.T.P. [TS]
00:24:02 ◼ ► At checkout the better web starts with your website. Now square space they are simple and easy. [TS]
00:24:08 ◼ ► I told the story last week about how I I was I was tasked with redoing a website for a group that I that I work with [TS]
00:24:16 ◼ ► and my job was to put myself out of a job as quickly as possible so they would need to need to come to me for anything [TS]
00:24:26 ◼ ► and I basically said hey give me an hour and let me give me an hour and I'll show you I'll show you alternative [TS]
00:24:34 ◼ ► And I took I took an hour and I copied their entire site into Squarespace and I gave them a nice modern theme [TS]
00:24:40 ◼ ► and everything and it was it was glorious how easy it was how how quickly I was able to do it [TS]
00:24:46 ◼ ► and how great it looking at their old site was a really antiquated in probably made in in the ninety's you know really [TS]
00:24:51 ◼ ► really old site and I got this new site going in and in one hour and I showed them as look here. [TS]
00:25:01 ◼ ► and this cost ten bucks a month instead of three thousand dollars plus plus hosting ten bucks a month you get all the [TS]
00:25:09 ◼ ► and they don't to worry about it you can all the stuff as much as you want without having to go with your me [TS]
00:25:15 ◼ ► You you can change things you can change the theme you can change the colors you can change the pictures you can change [TS]
00:25:21 ◼ ► and if you need help Squarespace offers twenty four seventh's support so you don't need to go through me or any [TS]

00:26:43 ◼ ► but this week it's been even more rough for a bunch of celebrities and I believe all of them [TS]
00:26:52 ◼ ► and they really seem to have been targeted in order to get access to pictures that really the internet should not have [TS]
00:27:03 ◼ ► And what has happened is there's a ton of celebrities I've I heard and I honestly don't know how long list is [TS]
00:27:10 ◼ ► or a hundred names long tons of celebrities that have had private vote photographs stolen from them [TS]
00:27:25 ◼ ► and the going theory was that I believe was find my i Phone specifically did not have rate limiting [TS]
00:27:34 ◼ ► So some enterprising if you could call it that individuals started firing away brute force dictionary attacks against [TS]
00:27:43 ◼ ► the Find My i Phone Service trying to figure out what the i Cloud password is for all these celebrities [TS]
00:27:51 ◼ ► and eventually by some mechanism be it social engineering or this find my i Phone thing or whatever. [TS]
00:28:09 ◼ ► or not this is really the fault of Apple and i Cloud And there's a lot of thoughts I have on this [TS]
00:28:15 ◼ ► but let me start with you John what how do you think this is our poll or do you think this is something else. [TS]
00:28:28 ◼ ► It's not clear at all about any anything about this to the pictures come from Apple [TS]
00:28:33 ◼ ► or from multiple aces are they all pictures of the new pictures like an actual security flaw [TS]
00:28:42 ◼ ► All we know is these pictures are out there on the Internet the nature of these type of things like someone stole a [TS]
00:28:56 ◼ ► Apple does far has said they have not been able to determine that there is some kind of security flaw like the rate [TS]
00:29:05 ◼ ► and they investigated it basically their statement was something the fact that there is no like inherent exploit [TS]
00:29:15 ◼ ► or seem to be saying in our system that caused the leaking of these pictures from my guess would be that these pictures [TS]
00:29:23 ◼ ► did not all come from Apple and did not all come from wherever they came from recently. [TS]
00:29:29 ◼ ► and again this is just a theory is not a fact that sounds plausible to me is that there is sort of an underground [TS]
00:29:36 ◼ ► trading ring of you know illegally stolen digital data that is fetched from servers where people have backups [TS]
00:29:44 ◼ ► or whatever and this was just a leak out of that sort of little circle of people trading this legally acquired data. [TS]
00:29:55 ◼ ► They're not they're not leaked from the people who took the photos they were stolen from the people who took the photos [TS]
00:30:04 ◼ ► and it seems like a plausible theory to me because that type of sort of illegal software [TS]
00:30:12 ◼ ► and then being pierced by somebody who let something out in the inner circles revealed that sounds like a thing that [TS]
00:30:18 ◼ ► you know I've seen before on the Internet and that sounds plausible all of this is that people want to do. [TS]
00:30:23 ◼ ► The question is how did all these pictures get from the people's phones to the possession of the people who stole them [TS]
00:30:39 ◼ ► We've been through this before with him that was his last name Matt Honan. Yep yep. [TS]
00:30:43 ◼ ► That you know the security flaws that we would talk about in the very worst ones are not technical flaws it's like you [TS]
00:30:54 ◼ ► The fact that you can call someone on the phone pretend to be someone else answer their supposed security questions [TS]
00:30:59 ◼ ► that you can just look up on the internet about them like where they grew up or where they went to school [TS]
00:31:09 ◼ ► and so that no matter how strong your password is no matter how bug free Apple security software is in the right [TS]
00:31:25 ◼ ► and that's the most difficult thing you'd like to tell everybody hey everybody make sure you have good passwords don't [TS]
00:31:30 ◼ ► use your best of all the but it doesn't matter if someone does call back and get all your crap anyway. [TS]
00:31:33 ◼ ► And what they're getting is usually like a backup of your phone like the i Cloud backup of your phone. [TS]
00:31:38 ◼ ► And so you know and even that is encrypted for them what they have in there for that and they can decrypt it [TS]
00:31:45 ◼ ► and it's in the interest of if there is a group like this the stealing pictures of celebrities [TS]
00:31:50 ◼ ► and stuff like that it's in their interest not to like go into those accounts and like blackmail them [TS]
00:32:01 ◼ ► and is not the celebrities it's like everybody with an axe to grind to get somebody to go to one of these little rings [TS]
00:32:05 ◼ ► and say hey can you get me a backup of my ex-girlfriends phone I want to see all her naked pictures [TS]
00:32:10 ◼ ► or whatever it's just this is a criminal enterprise that you know exploiting weaknesses in our systems [TS]
00:32:16 ◼ ► and their weaknesses unfortunately that most customers can't do much about except I guess complain. [TS]
00:32:23 ◼ ► and surprising to me was that my understanding was a lot of people were blaming the celebrities for using like i Cloud [TS]
00:32:34 ◼ ► with Dropbox and things like that as though it was somehow their fault that somebody went in [TS]
00:32:42 ◼ ► and to your point illegally stole their pictures I know you shouldn't are going to get pictures like Are you kidding me. [TS]
00:32:50 ◼ ► That's like saying well you left your house unlocked so it's your own fault that everything got stalled it's not even [TS]
00:32:58 ◼ ► when that's not your I have your money in a bank maybe you think twice about using a credit card you know you have you [TS]
00:33:04 ◼ ► got your car stolen Tom That's what you get for having a car I mean this is not like leaving your house unlocked is [TS]
00:33:12 ◼ ► It's not an unfortunate bad thing to have everybody take pictures with their smart like it's it's ridiculous it's it's [TS]
00:33:20 ◼ ► and I you know that's really this is not really the issue we're getting out here with his eye contact [TS]
00:33:25 ◼ ► but like you're going to really come down to is if you want to go like keep cranking up the medal levels it's the weird [TS]
00:33:35 ◼ ► Weird as a species if you look at a really broad view go out to Mars or something but certainly in the U.S. [TS]
00:33:41 ◼ ► It's weird puritanical view of nudity and sex that we have that it's like Tad moon evil and like that. [TS]
00:33:51 ◼ ► The idea that like they're doing something wrong by taking naked pictures of themselves because if you were a good [TS]
00:34:05 ◼ ► Two things that are private that your possessions you're allowed to do. It's your money it's your bank account. [TS]
00:34:10 ◼ ► Other people should have access to your photo so there's a photo of your plants your your house your kids you with [TS]
00:34:16 ◼ ► clothes on without clothes on someone's day clothes on it becomes a category of craziness that anyway that's a whole [TS]
00:34:22 ◼ ► we're not going to fix the the problem of the United States and their screwed up attitude toward sex. [TS]
00:34:32 ◼ ► You know coming in were people lose their minds about and it's not even worth discussing this stupidity [TS]
00:34:37 ◼ ► but like I think the thing is where this guy thing is forget about what they stole. [TS]
00:34:44 ◼ ► but I don't care what them you know like it's that's that's what we have to address here [TS]
00:34:48 ◼ ► and I just I wish Apple would work harder to I mean like so riveted a post about how the how the backups you know the [TS]
00:35:01 ◼ ► backups are a good thing because people are much more likely to lose all their photos of their kids because their [TS]
00:35:08 ◼ ► and so it's a tradeoff between well if you just never do like live backups you're safe from hacking [TS]
00:35:14 ◼ ► and you're much more likely to lose all your pictures your kids than you are to get hacked [TS]
00:35:23 ◼ ► If they didn't have the stupid you know tell me your mother's maiden name in the high school you went to things people [TS]
00:35:29 ◼ ► and they'd be like Apple like well sorry you lost your password we never knew which a password you can get [TS]
00:35:33 ◼ ► and you have to raise your phone or you know be like Are you kidding me you know like the knee. [TS]
00:35:40 ◼ ► and so Apple is trying in the same terrible way that arouses doing to make it so that people aren't locked out of their [TS]
00:35:49 ◼ ► But what is it that you can replace a password with that is as secure as a password [TS]
00:35:53 ◼ ► or more secure that people won't forget. Like there's no good solution for that except for maybe a touch ID or. [TS]
00:36:00 ◼ ► I think if I had to advise Apple on how to address this I would go more towards like the other systems that we have for [TS]
00:36:11 ◼ ► and record a video of them get in touch with them make them prove through a trusted third party that they are really [TS]
00:36:16 ◼ ► are some sort of really annoying process that if you were concerned about security you could prove to them in a in a [TS]
00:36:25 ◼ ► And then if someone wanted to reset their password they would have to reproduce that extremely annoying you know proof [TS]
00:36:42 ◼ ► and convenience that inconveniences the fewest number of people but it is it is a trade off [TS]
00:36:51 ◼ ► when now it's so easy to find out the answers to people's security questions but is like trolling their Facebook [TS]
00:36:56 ◼ ► and stuff. Yeah. And I'm glad you jumped on me a few minutes ago in saying that it's like leaving your house unlocked. [TS]
00:37:04 ◼ ► and you're absolutely right that these people did nothing wrong either by means of a flaw in Apple's systems [TS]
00:37:11 ◼ ► or perhaps some social engineering they had something they had something stole from them and stolen from them. [TS]
00:37:19 ◼ ► And the one interesting thing to me is that when the Internet decided that this was all Apple [TS]
00:37:27 ◼ ► and i Cloud fall nobody seemed to think that was a surprising and that's a problem. [TS]
00:37:36 ◼ ► Like if everyone if there's this great huge security leak and everyone says oh well you know that cycle out. [TS]
00:37:43 ◼ ► Like that's a big freakin problem. And a branding problem. I mean right. Yeah. And that's exactly right. [TS]
00:38:00 ◼ ► They're going to talk about a lot of this photos in the cloud stuff that they talked about a D.C. [TS]
00:38:04 ◼ ► This is a this is not a good time for this to be happening and so I just I just feel like at some point [TS]
00:38:12 ◼ ► and I know we've said this thousand times at some point Apple's going to have to get really serious about their their [TS]
00:38:19 ◼ ► cloud services but in this regard it's not like the parts where they're not going to go to online services. [TS]
00:38:24 ◼ ► This is thing where a seriousness will not like it won't save them it's not like there is something that other [TS]
00:38:32 ◼ ► or as bad there is no good solution in this like two factor authentication where you where you have to authenticate not [TS]
00:38:38 ◼ ► just with a password or something else that you possess either they text your phone or [TS]
00:38:44 ◼ ► Gateway on the on the mac thing that techs will also appear on your back so someone has either thier mac [TS]
00:38:49 ◼ ► and travel ID they can get that text too but anyway two factor authentication helps [TS]
00:38:56 ◼ ► You kidding people can you remember the passwords to factor still to competence the balancing security [TS]
00:39:02 ◼ ► and the current balanced in security is already for most people's perspectives pushed too far into the side of security [TS]
00:39:11 ◼ ► Touch I think helps because that's that's a security convenience thing where they can give you additional security [TS]
00:39:16 ◼ ► and also a lot of additional convenience of not the usual trade off that you can do there [TS]
00:39:19 ◼ ► but there is not some obvious thing that Apple can do like boiling apples more serious like the reason it's so easy to [TS]
00:39:25 ◼ ► hack your account is because it has to be that easy for all the people who forget their passwords [TS]
00:39:35 ◼ ► Who'd you pissed off if they couldn't like you can't tell somebody well all your stuff is you know you forgot your [TS]
00:39:40 ◼ ► password you don't remember where is your backup is encrypted no one else going to decrypt about you then you've lost [TS]
00:39:46 ◼ ► all the pictures of your kids again I go I can prove that I mean like we don't know who you are you have nothing you [TS]
00:39:52 ◼ ► and so that's why I think like you have to it has to be a social sort of a change in society to realize that if you care [TS]
00:40:00 ◼ ► Stuff online you have to protect it in a way that is inconvenient for you in terms of proving who you really are [TS]
00:40:06 ◼ ► and at the very least start with having system the two factors One example that if you care about it you can go through [TS]
00:40:12 ◼ ► and go through the hassle for the increased security they should have a step up from that that involves like [TS]
00:40:18 ◼ ► authenticating who you are in every possible way using all technology in our disposal and the legal system [TS]
00:40:25 ◼ ► and to also quote Ben Thompson he wrote a piece today which is in the chat room over in the show notes about how [TS]
00:40:38 ◼ ► The problem is that Apple has no reservoir of goodwill when it comes to i Cloud And in this case it may [TS]
00:40:56 ◼ ► So yeah I guess what I'm saying is if it could be that i Cloud was reasonably proficiency at blocking these sorts of [TS]
00:41:06 ◼ ► attacks I'm not saying it is or it isn't but it could be that it was yet because we all know in this [TS]
00:41:12 ◼ ► or assume that i Cloud is a steaming pile of crap. As soon as somebody theorize that i Cloud is the problem. [TS]
00:41:19 ◼ ► The entire internet decided it must be i Cloud because people because people can't differentiate between like well [TS]
00:41:26 ◼ ► and responsive in their up time is bad versus like security flaws versus a fledging Yeah you're right it just goes all [TS]
00:41:33 ◼ ► or popular i Phones are popular with celebrities celebrities are you know like because who knows where these pictures [TS]
00:41:38 ◼ ► came from some of them surely came from I thought some of them surely came other places doesn't matter just really [TS]
00:41:49 ◼ ► but like all talk about this in a bit on the September ninth event when they're going to introduce a new i Phones [TS]
00:42:00 ◼ ► Granted you can fool it is not as secure as whatever involved but it's it's an additional factor right. [TS]
00:42:05 ◼ ► And they have you know existing two factor authentication like Apple is clearly trying to find ways to make things more [TS]
00:42:14 ◼ ► Instead of just saying OK we'll give you like what I was suggesting which is like make it more secure [TS]
00:42:18 ◼ ► and less convenient for the people who need that security like give them the option. [TS]
00:42:23 ◼ ► Another thing I have you know in response to this as I usually do like well to have general password again like I just [TS]
00:42:39 ◼ ► or something I said what I was originally going in was to see what my security questions were to make sure they weren't [TS]
00:42:49 ◼ ► or something coming to look up because they only give you a choice of like questions that anybody can look up [TS]
00:42:57 ◼ ► or anything about my car because soon as I logged in it said Your password is too insecure please set a new one I got I [TS]
00:43:03 ◼ ► couldn't get any of my the resource you can see my e-mail address can see my mailing address my payment info I You [TS]
00:43:08 ◼ ► couldn't get to the interface and he said everything worked fine I could still log in and use all my stuff [TS]
00:43:15 ◼ ► They are apparently trying to enforce better passwords by detail by deciding whose password is [TS]
00:43:26 ◼ ► and you know you know that it does security best you can do that I don't know how much that protects me. [TS]
00:43:30 ◼ ► If someone is really smooth at the bad you know telephone rep they can probably still social engineer their way in. [TS]
00:43:43 ◼ ► and you know we can we can all keep talking about how you know Apple could add all these things in to make things more [TS]
00:43:52 ◼ ► but one of the biggest problems is if these things are not the default or the only way to do things then they're not. [TS]
00:44:01 ◼ ► and you know most most of the celebrities who were targeted for this for this mass theft over whatever amount time it [TS]
00:44:08 ◼ ► was. They would be a good portion of them probably would have all their phones on whatever the default settings were. [TS]
00:44:16 ◼ ► And so unless you make the default crazy complicated and make that the only option. [TS]
00:44:26 ◼ ► Well celebrities might be motivated to like him a word to get around among celebrities like when you get an i Phone [TS]
00:44:32 ◼ ► and ask you if you want to use your fingerprint as a second factor say yes like you know this this type of thing is [TS]
00:44:37 ◼ ► something for people who are like targeted by likely be targeted by these attacks even if they're not tech savvy as an [TS]
00:44:43 ◼ ► example to the pretty good job of like during your like phone set up dates like you should set a password. [TS]
00:44:51 ◼ ► and same thing with such ideas like they're trying to encourage people to be more secure [TS]
00:44:56 ◼ ► and I think socially within groups of people who feel they are targeted for potential hacks have some motivation to [TS]
00:45:03 ◼ ► Yes you you know your phone doesn't have like like lock your phone doesn't have a lock code you can tell I have a lock [TS]
00:45:11 ◼ ► So there's hope there I think we're so breaking news as we're recording on this Thursday night. [TS]
00:45:22 ◼ ► or interview of some sort to The Wall Street Journal because the Wall Street Journal is a bunch of idiots who thinks [TS]
00:45:31 ◼ ► All I can read the following in his first interview on the subject Apple chief executive Tim Cook said slip now it's [TS]
00:45:54 ◼ ► and try to pay all that actually don't put the whole text there which is a shame the Google trick still works. [TS]
00:45:58 ◼ ► I tried that. Work for me. Maybe it's easier if I paste this into our Skype chat is that copyright infringement. [TS]
00:46:05 ◼ ► Now go ahead but I don't think we need to read it but anyway you can but you don't put a link to it [TS]
00:46:09 ◼ ► and do it do whatever on the website you had as you just put a link to the Google you know results of people going [TS]
00:46:14 ◼ ► anywhere like they said enough on our software other than the rate limiting which obviously they fixed [TS]
00:46:23 ◼ ► OK Pick some celebrities account with their permission say we'd like to investigate how you got hacked. [TS]
00:46:32 ◼ ► and that's exactly what I was talking about like that that's not the security questions are less secure than a password [TS]
00:46:39 ◼ ► Because when you forgot your password they want you to have some way to get your stuff back [TS]
00:46:44 ◼ ► and if you forgot your password we need to have something that you are less likely forget you're less less likely to [TS]
00:46:55 ◼ ► and it is a very bad trade off for people who could potentially be targeted so I think Apple is working in the right [TS]
00:47:03 ◼ ► and I think they should continue to go even farther in those even though little pictures video voiceprint like we can [TS]
00:47:08 ◼ ► prove to each other more a last couple generations having difficulty proving to each other that we are who we are [TS]
00:47:26 ◼ ► and I think surgery is not good enough to match you exactly we don't have holograms like we're in a place where we can [TS]
00:47:35 ◼ ► and we have the thing is we have the technology to convey more of that information about proving who you are. [TS]

00:50:41 ◼ ► So we're recording this on Thursday the fourth will hopefully be out on Friday the fifth maybe Saturday the sixth [TS]
00:50:51 ◼ ► Apple is releasing something new so it would be wrong of us to not to at least spend a few moments discussing what we [TS]
00:51:05 ◼ ► I mean there's the obvious stuff that's the stuff that like the rumor sites have basically you know there's been enough [TS]
00:51:11 ◼ ► and enough parts leaks to tough we've seen videos of assembled purported i Phone six is right that one even powered on [TS]
00:51:24 ◼ ► Yes I think if you can boot a new i Phone in to be a few mode I think it's probably confirmation that it exists. [TS]
00:51:31 ◼ ► I think it's pretty clear we're getting a four point seven inch i Phone six at the bare minimum Now hold on I'm not [TS]
00:51:38 ◼ ► The thing in the video that was the four point seven inch because that thing looked huge to me though that we haven't [TS]
00:51:45 ◼ ► We've seen almost nothing from a five point five inch I believe somebody's got a back panel like a couple days ago [TS]
00:51:51 ◼ ► but we've seen in general we've seen effectively nothing about the five point five I saw this device this new purported [TS]
00:52:00 ◼ ► Person's hand and I thought it looked enormous and if that's the four point five four point seven whatever it is. [TS]
00:52:07 ◼ ► Say work were close enough to the event now that of the five point five wasn't a real thing. [TS]
00:52:12 ◼ ► You would have you would think that Apple would do that thing it does where it gets the message out that maybe a five [TS]
00:52:17 ◼ ► point five is not a real thing right like so there would be a leaked report on Bloomberg the U.S.G.S. [TS]
00:52:22 ◼ ► Saying like Oh well actually even even not lad like they they can make their official statements [TS]
00:52:31 ◼ ► when They were going to have hardware that made it clear they were going to have hardware that they're going to have [TS]
00:52:34 ◼ ► hardware. Yeah yeah they don't care in the months leading up to a right before the event. [TS]
00:52:39 ◼ ► I feel like there was in going to be two sizes of i Phones big an even bigger. They would have been saying some things. [TS]
00:52:46 ◼ ► Yeah like getting the word out so I'm I'm I'm with Marco four point seven five point five i Phones I'm I'm also totally [TS]
00:52:57 ◼ ► Not just because they wanted differentiable because it's the bigger screen cost more money bigger batteries cost more [TS]
00:53:02 ◼ ► money and that's a lot of the cost of the phone is in the screen in a battery. So yeah those are the easy ones. [TS]
00:53:09 ◼ ► Yeah there's been a couple of recent very recent rumors like in the last couple days saying that both the that the i [TS]
00:53:15 ◼ ► Pad air to be unveiled. So a new i Pad air with like an anti-glare screen which sounds interesting and better touch I.D. [TS]
00:53:33 ◼ ► but it won't ship until next year so there's a whole bunch of recent craziness surrounding this event. [TS]
00:53:39 ◼ ► They're also building that that giant white structure that I think the most plausible speculation people have had it is [TS]
00:53:49 ◼ ► Who knows what we do know is that anything we say in this show predicting what's going to be there beyond a new i Phone [TS]
00:54:00 ◼ ► Because well I don't you think we can all be safe in saying that there is a better than fifty fifty chance that they're [TS]
00:54:11 ◼ ► I feel safe in saying that just because if this was going to be only an i Phone event the invitation would have been [TS]
00:54:26 ◼ ► and it's a giant venue that they like the Flint Center is way bigger than the normal venue they invited like tons of [TS]
00:54:32 ◼ ► press to this thing it is it's not like in the little town hall it's not in the it's a huge venue they're building this [TS]
00:54:39 ◼ ► big structure which you know why I assume is going to be there be like it's not the events not going to be there so [TS]
00:54:45 ◼ ► it's likely there are hands on area or you to consider like you know who knows what it's like. [TS]
00:54:51 ◼ ► It seems like a much bigger deal and you wouldn't do this if it was just a bunch of i Phones [TS]
00:54:55 ◼ ► or even if it was i Phones and i Pads and so what are we expecting from Apple wearables or T.V. Thing T.V. [TS]
00:55:06 ◼ ► and I also agree with the rumors that say it probably won't ship because shipping will be single leaks like they do [TS]
00:55:11 ◼ ► that they get to do the same thing at it with the original i Phone way pre-announce it because it's not like you're [TS]
00:55:27 ◼ ► and also I think this like so far you know if Apple makes any new products we see partly it's like if they make anything [TS]
00:55:37 ◼ ► We see parts we can advance because they're making things at such big scale that people that people care about things [TS]
00:55:53 ◼ ► or remember the matter of laptops their bestselling laptops it's like man I don't really know really cares I hope [TS]
00:56:00 ◼ ► There that they're producing they're like you know they sell so many i Phones that they can't keep an eye for under [TS]
00:56:09 ◼ ► and so they definitely run the same risk with a wearable thing that if they release a compelling wearable device they're [TS]
00:56:24 ◼ ► and so they're probably announcing it very far in advance if that is indeed what they're doing. [TS]
00:56:37 ◼ ► and then the you know the Internet ruins it with parts leaks in months ahead of time or weeks ahead of time. [TS]
00:56:41 ◼ ► I'm sure Apple wants to control every bit of the narrative of how this new device if it exists sounds like we do exist [TS]
00:56:51 ◼ ► and you know suppose we've got to partly suppose some rumor site had some picture of some like you know a wrist cuff [TS]
00:57:00 ◼ ► with the with the screen in the top and of the Apple logo on the back and and that's all we knew about it. [TS]
00:57:10 ◼ ► and you know possibly underwhelming it's like oh well they're just making something that looks like a nice smart watch [TS]
00:57:16 ◼ ► and that's all they would know and like that the whole narrative would be controlled by the rumor cycle and the [TS]
00:57:21 ◼ ► and the speculative press whereas if they have this event to show it off to us for the first time they control [TS]
00:57:26 ◼ ► everything about how it's perceived. They set the tone they set the talking points. [TS]
00:57:32 ◼ ► and then we get to go around telling everyone else their talking points about why it's so cool that's so much better [TS]
00:57:42 ◼ ► On those so I think it's very clear why they would do something this very far in advance for a brand new kind of device [TS]
00:57:52 ◼ ► There's no existing product you get to do it because you get a print out because you know killing sales of existing [TS]
00:57:56 ◼ ► products but then if it is an existing one like the phones like this. It's like I think the last one I can remember. [TS]
00:58:02 ◼ ► Well this is still in a result I think was going to say like the original i Pad didn't leak. [TS]
00:58:10 ◼ ► and I think they announced that not too long before I went on sale but we had no leak [TS]
00:58:16 ◼ ► It's you know tablets today the whole issue is like what's going to be on the screen but yet like [TS]
00:58:24 ◼ ► Like there was going to be gold one we already knew was going to be go home I saw all the parts they had in their [TS]
00:58:29 ◼ ► presentation they had to sort of work their magic to say I know you've seen lots of pictures of this gold back plate [TS]
00:58:35 ◼ ► and different things you see the darker role one of these in a wider goal the one I'm using next to the gray one [TS]
00:58:40 ◼ ► but we're going to show you a nice highly produced video with this liquid gold melting stuff [TS]
00:58:47 ◼ ► and tell you about the diamond cut chamfer and also has a sham for and it will be great [TS]
00:58:56 ◼ ► but you're right Marco it's so much better to not have any of that to compete with [TS]
00:59:01 ◼ ► and just say your first your first picture your first introduction to this thing will be through marketing materials [TS]
00:59:08 ◼ ► You'll see it in the best light in the context we want you to see it in the purposes we think is the thing is going to [TS]
00:59:13 ◼ ► and by the way speaking of our Because a lot of people in chat room talking about oh you want to better authentication [TS]
00:59:18 ◼ ► for i Cloud Security Well this response might help. Yeah it might. But does touch I.D. Sensor. [TS]
00:59:25 ◼ ► and the other part of your body has any better access to proving you are who you are OTHER THAN the same ways that a [TS]
00:59:33 ◼ ► but anyway that's that's an angle we can look for these it's interesting to me that Apple is gone is so enthusiastic to [TS]
00:59:46 ◼ ► have put up a countdown like it seems so not happily to me to put up this countdown like this I mean generally speaking [TS]
01:00:07 ◼ ► and it's surprising to me to see this countdown basically saying this thing that we all know we're probably going to [TS]
01:00:17 ◼ ► Fourteen hours forty nine minutes and four seconds on the kind of downs before like. [TS]
01:00:21 ◼ ► Keep in mind this is account on a page where the only line is wish we could say more like they don't even give you like [TS]
01:00:27 ◼ ► or hint there like they've gone so far as to make a little twisting Apple thing to show a little lion behind the back [TS]
01:00:34 ◼ ► of them acting like they ought to give you some kind of they even at the handling make sense in retrospect. [TS]
01:00:41 ◼ ► and you get a statement that could only be construed of it's like I wish we could make Siri say more things are some [TS]
01:00:48 ◼ ► Script stuff like that like we were just desperate to try to mine any no good immigration [TS]
01:00:51 ◼ ► but they're essentially saying you know I know that you know that I know that you know that I have not I got you know [TS]
01:00:59 ◼ ► and that's and really like the stakes in this could not be higher. First of all putting aside like the port C.E.O. [TS]
01:01:09 ◼ ► and putting aside that this is kind of the you know this is Tim Cook's like not going to say make it [TS]
01:01:15 ◼ ► or break it moment but this is an important moment for Tim Cook Apple because previously the big plane was yeah. [TS]
01:01:20 ◼ ► Find Jimmy doing well with a company in stock prices like doubled or whatever things you do go over [TS]
01:01:29 ◼ ► and you know where's the i Watch where is right the world so he was going to be a new product categories talked about [TS]
01:01:52 ◼ ► Does it look like it's good to look like it's going to going to be popular does look like a stinker. [TS]
01:02:00 ◼ ► And that sold pretty well so this is an important moment for Apple and for Tim Cook [TS]
01:02:06 ◼ ► and it will be an important rest of the year especially Klingon ship of the next year to really know until like the [TS]
01:02:11 ◼ ► first big burst of people who are desperate to have this thing get it and the reviews come in [TS]
01:02:20 ◼ ► and we alluded to this earlier was a dear friend of the show underscored David Smith pointed out the relative seating [TS]
01:02:28 ◼ ► capacity of Apple event venues the campus town hall three hundred one point a center seven hundred fifty seven Flint [TS]
01:02:43 ◼ ► I mean obviously like you both said earlier this is they Apple is of the opinion that this is going to be big. [TS]
01:02:50 ◼ ► If you look at the things that were released in the Flint Center someone tweeted that as well I think it was like the [TS]
01:03:02 ◼ ► and sunny because it's obvious I mean they they built a whole temporary building like something is going down here [TS]
01:03:10 ◼ ► So I think it's not going to be I thought they are going to be great you know I'm sure they will. [TS]
01:03:15 ◼ ► And very interesting and by the way we do need to mention N.F.C. Near field communication. [TS]
01:03:19 ◼ ► You know end of the wireless thing that lets you not touch your phone to something to sort of bring in nearby to sort [TS]
01:03:28 ◼ ► and more rumors about that of you know the deal they're making with the gravitas most of the deals they're making with [TS]
01:03:33 ◼ ► the banks to lower the fees to make you know like it's all like all the things that we we talk about N.F.C. [TS]
01:03:43 ◼ ► and that could be integrated with some sort of thing that you wear as well so there's a lot of long rumored things [TS]
01:03:52 ◼ ► Yeah I think it's going to be as big as they're hyping up to be because I don't I think Apple is smart enough to know [TS]
01:04:02 ◼ ► Yeah and and by the way size of the invite a lot of people I got invited to the event as well [TS]
01:04:07 ◼ ► and much to the chagrin of everybody who knows me I will not be at the event. I'll come on really well are the worst. [TS]

01:12:15 ◼ ► Yeah so there's little things are where this is there's no actual like the difficulty due to getting up to speed is [TS]
01:12:22 ◼ ► like there's no actual like news there there's nothing nothing substantive for you to it's all like a metaphor it's all [TS]
01:12:32 ◼ ► The substantive parts like that you would think is like a controversy where there's like one side and another [TS]
01:12:42 ◼ ► It's essentially a bunch of women in the industry who are fighting for more equality in the most like tame [TS]
01:12:51 ◼ ► non-controversial way you could possibly imagine. The best example of this is and it is our T.V. [TS]
01:13:00 ◼ ► Go watch these videos that she puts up it's a critique of the treatment of women in gaming it is the most calm like [TS]
01:13:08 ◼ ► gentle hand-holding like noncontroversial like it sometimes it's face almost boring like an eminently reasonable [TS]
01:13:33 ◼ ► and that's why there's not a controversy because it's like what is it that you are opposed to in these things so they [TS]
01:13:39 ◼ ► write this stuff like that it is article about herds are caused by related issues I mean just the general treatment of [TS]
01:13:45 ◼ ► and actual women who work in the gaming industry on the other side of this are people who are terrible doing terrible [TS]
01:13:51 ◼ ► things to other people harassing them posting their personal information sending them death threats [TS]
01:14:00 ◼ ► New this is just a flare up of something that happens all the time to women everywhere not just in the gaming industry [TS]
01:14:05 ◼ ► but in particular these women who are doing terrible thing in the gaming industry by merely talking about these issues. [TS]
01:14:12 ◼ ► And in recent weeks it's been getting worse because the terrible people are trying to organize [TS]
01:14:17 ◼ ► and trying to be even more super terrible and women are leaving the industry because they can't take the harassment [TS]
01:14:25 ◼ ► And so it's not like you say well there's there's a debate here there's these people who did these bad thing these [TS]
01:14:35 ◼ ► and that's why it's been hesitant to discuss it because I'm like well there's no story it's not like we can talk about [TS]
01:14:40 ◼ ► and people are reacting to it you know we can talk about this completely tame totally rational calm normal everyday [TS]
01:14:46 ◼ ► thing that happens all the time that is not bad in any way. And then these terrible people. [TS]
01:14:51 ◼ ► And so now this is just become a story about the terrible people of like it doesn't matter what anyone even if they had [TS]
01:14:57 ◼ ► done something like I've written a really mean blog post that it like they haven't. [TS]
01:15:03 ◼ ► And so I don't know what more they really say about us other than Whenever people ask you about on Twitter. [TS]
01:15:10 ◼ ► My my position is that the people who are angry have no idea what they're angry about. [TS]
01:15:19 ◼ ► They think they're angry about ethics they think they're angry about people taking away their games I think they're [TS]
01:15:24 ◼ ► angry about people lying. They have no idea what they're angry about is the biggest case of self delusion. [TS]
01:15:32 ◼ ► and they will never be convinced they don't know what they're angry about what they're doing is trying to in their mind [TS]
01:15:37 ◼ ► they're going to like actually what I really care about is journalistic integrity in video games already really care [TS]
01:15:42 ◼ ► about is that someone is lying or is it like they make up all these crazy conspiracy theories [TS]
01:15:47 ◼ ► and decide that they are really they that they have a righteous cause they do not have a righteous cause what they are [TS]
01:15:52 ◼ ► actually angry about has nothing to do with the things they claim they are angry about which is so easy for an outside [TS]
01:16:01 ◼ ► and they're like oh well you know I have a million issues they could you could just just look at any of the replies [TS]
01:16:07 ◼ ► streams of any of these people in to see all the things they think their anger about these people are not angry about [TS]
01:16:16 ◼ ► They're intellectually dishonest both with themselves and other people and it's it's just terrible [TS]
01:16:22 ◼ ► and by the way this is this is gaming is where we're talking about this everywhere. [TS]
01:16:26 ◼ ► We're going to treated badly everywhere to varying degrees. Like if you don't believe it. [TS]
01:16:30 ◼ ► Talk to a woman in your life and ask them for stories and if they actually trust you [TS]

01:17:35 ◼ ► and were all brought up in a culture that embeds in US biases I you know against all sorts of things race religion [TS]
01:17:48 ◼ ► We're all brought up in that environment we don't want to think of ourselves as bad people there's a cognitive [TS]
01:17:51 ◼ ► dissonance thing going on there the best thing you can do is just to immerse yourself in that sort of equality debate [TS]
01:18:00 ◼ ► Way I think people get around this is no way me arguing with someone on Twitter is going to commence [TS]
01:18:03 ◼ ► and they're not mad about journalistic ethics and they don't know what intellectualized is and they have [TS]
01:18:10 ◼ ► There's no way I think and it seems like it's so clear that they're so far gone there's no point arguing with them [TS]
01:18:15 ◼ ► and the only thing I think interview around including people like us who are just like sort of you know well I'm not [TS]
01:18:19 ◼ ► really involved in this I'm not a terrible person I'm not sending death threats I think it should be more quality in [TS]
01:18:24 ◼ ► but I don't want to get involved because it's a fight to get out of that mindset I think you have to really understand [TS]
01:18:31 ◼ ► and the way to really understand what's going on in a way that you better come through with is just to if you care [TS]
01:18:43 ◼ ► but just feel like you can get get a picture of it that's beyond a picture that just reinforces the things you make you [TS]
01:18:48 ◼ ► feel good about yourself. Reason things that actually make you feel bad about yourself. [TS]
01:18:53 ◼ ► So earlier today and I'm not sure if this is why it's bringing this up and I want to bring it up [TS]
01:19:01 ◼ ► Earlier today I made a perhaps a dubious choice of saying somebody said we should talk about this tonight [TS]
01:19:15 ◼ ► and I'm not sure what to do because I feel like well the people who are ostracizing women and [TS]
01:19:24 ◼ ► and threatening women unequivocally like John said unequivocally are wrong and that's a terrible thing. [TS]
01:19:30 ◼ ► And how these people look at themselves in the mirror. I don't understand how they sleep at night I don't understand. [TS]
01:19:45 ◼ ► or not I did a good job of patrolling nephew point on Twitter in one hundred forty characters minus like probably [TS]
01:20:00 ◼ ► The way in which I approach this I think is nuanced and and I don't think that the discussion is nuanced. [TS]

02:13:15 ◼ ► I was so hopeful my God this is speedy they were they realize their mistake sooner [TS]
02:13:22 ◼ ► Yeah well and again it's you can you can tell the attitude of this post and that's how they're going about this. [TS]
02:13:28 ◼ ► It's more of the same that they not only do they feel entitled to only mark down themselves [TS]
02:13:34 ◼ ► but they really do not respect John Gruber at all and they don't respect him as a person even [TS]
02:13:51 ◼ ► but that doesn't give you the right to be a jerk like you can you can have an ever opinion you want about that you can [TS]
02:13:56 ◼ ► be like oh I don't like the way felt fine great you don't like the way you handle it it is like the way you. [TS]
02:14:02 ◼ ► Therefore I get to do this no not therefore you get to do that and no it doesn't follow. [TS]
02:14:07 ◼ ► So it's like they're giving into their their frustrations on technical and sort of you know issues of stewardship [TS]
02:14:15 ◼ ► But like you cannot parlay those feelings into being a jerk and say well justified because this guy's not good. [TS]
02:14:33 ◼ ► and all cation Lee I'll get just extremely kind generous wonderful e-mails you know long it takes me to reply to most [TS]
02:14:52 ◼ ► He didn't not respond if you know around an e-mail he didn't respond he didn't want to respond. [TS]

02:15:08 ◼ ► the chat just said Yeah I think all the disrespect comes from the fact that Gruber doesn't want to blank [TS]
02:15:12 ◼ ► or going off the pot when it comes to markdown like what people I think are not understanding. [TS]
02:15:20 ◼ ► Well and this argument is that John Gruber has no obligation to do anything with markdown. [TS]
02:15:25 ◼ ► He has no obligation at all to respond to Jeff with the e-mails he has an obligation at all to make changes that people [TS]
02:15:33 ◼ ► want or to fix perceived or actual bugs or problems with Mark down. It's his project. [TS]
02:15:41 ◼ ► and again leaving aside the legalities of things like trademarks you know that's those are all arguable. [TS]
02:15:46 ◼ ► I think just common sense looking at this he owns this and to to think that you can just go up and take it as yours [TS]
02:15:55 ◼ ► and say well he doesn't seem to be using it so we're going to take the project over. [TS]
02:16:00 ◼ ► You know there's a way to do that respectfully and the way to do that respectfully is to fork it [TS]
02:16:05 ◼ ► and use your own branding period and not try to commandeer his because it does not matter what what he is doing [TS]
02:16:14 ◼ ► or not doing with it it is still his and there is nothing wrong with you doing your own take on it with your name [TS]
02:16:28 ◼ ► and Gruber's like fine forget like he is being a much nicer than most maintainers open source products are alike who [TS]
02:16:34 ◼ ► view any kind of fork at the hostel a tenth takeover especially if you give it a new name [TS]
02:16:38 ◼ ► and it's like you want to be the new thing it's like no way we're like They hate that group was like go ahead like do [TS]
02:16:44 ◼ ► whatever you want. Like Mark I was not hard to MY yourself you don't need a source code at all it's a B.S.D. [TS]
02:16:49 ◼ ► License if you want to then you can use and be willing to give you the source code. [TS]
02:16:52 ◼ ► LOL you know you've been a marked out the like it's like go ahead call them to what you want make your own thing like I [TS]
02:16:57 ◼ ► don't care this is my thing. Feel free to have your thing here in the grand scheme of maintainers open source. [TS]
02:17:12 ◼ ► He's willing to let people make things called insert modifier here markdown which way more than most other open source [TS]
02:17:22 ◼ ► but I try to try to make like you know a standard my sequence you know much the mice you know like what you know [TS]
02:17:30 ◼ ► and it's just it's all this comes from frustration like he's not running a project the right way [TS]
02:17:34 ◼ ► and he's not running the process the way I would want I agree with all the things I do not think is right in front of [TS]
02:17:39 ◼ ► but you can't then just doesn't fall this is huge gap between disagreeing what someone's doing with their project [TS]
02:17:48 ◼ ► and you deciding that you are now you are now the standard bearer for that project that you did not start. [TS]
02:17:54 ◼ ► All right we got that pretty early I think it's pretty open close I think common markdown will not last. [TS]
02:18:00 ◼ ► Name then we will see more of this but there's a time and I think that will come and erase all this [TS]
02:18:05 ◼ ► when it is called Something that does not have marked down the name and we finally get this all behind us. [TS]
02:18:10 ◼ ► Do you really think he's going to change in him again I don't think you will it's gotta change can't leave it is common [TS]
02:18:14 ◼ ► it's ridiculous there's too much too many people think is a jerk for doing it and they're right. [TS]
02:18:18 ◼ ► But the attitude he has in this post does not fill me with hope that he's going to admit that this was not good [TS]
02:18:36 ◼ ► Right I think it's interesting like not one of the names that he suggested to Gruber didn't contain markdown program [TS]
02:18:47 ◼ ► or maybe even struck Marquel like there is a precedent for modifier markdown to Gruber is OK We're going to get [TS]
02:18:53 ◼ ► but if he does if he says if he doesn't say find any your name then just begun No it's really easy. [TS]
02:19:05 ◼ ► but I still like it if this is just bad business like if you want your standard to actually have power to have a chance [TS]
02:19:13 ◼ ► of becoming quote a standard as instead of as you say it standard you know insert X K C D comic here instead of you [TS]
02:19:20 ◼ ► saying that for it to actually be adopted to be widely out there to be powerful to be the standard they can't have [TS]
