Select a time to play from there. The line being spoken is highlighted as the audio plays.

0:00:00yeah we can get right into it a long and when did you know you had your the dev

0:00:03kit for Apple TV

0:00:04yes and what's the story I mean I guess it doesn't matter I'm curious I did not

0:00:12get the dev kit I guess I should have signed up for it I just assumed that I

0:00:15would get a review review in it but they didn't a.m. I didn't get one till

0:00:21yesterday so we're recording here on Friday October 30 I got mine from Apple

0:00:26yesterday on 29th and I i dont think I touched one yet no I haven't since the

0:00:31event last month are you going to post it on a lot of press outlets just signed

0:00:39up and gone

0:00:40yeah well I did is that what happened but I think a lot of them did get review

0:00:43units too and I just you know it seems haphazard doesn't seem like there is any

0:00:48rhyme or reason to it a cool guy who didn't like TechCrunch tengo until

0:00:53yesterday either yeah I don't think any girl line now he didn't did really well

0:01:03she had access to one and all that

0:01:05yeah it's such a weird thing I get mad get so inside baseball but I guess

0:01:11that's what the point of pride casters yeah he is that it was the least

0:01:16secretive device give once it was unveiled you know so there's that it was

0:01:22unveiled on stage in September I think they did a pretty good job keeping it

0:01:25under wraps everybody knew that a new Apple TV was coming but nobody nobody

0:01:32knew what the remote was exactly like her stuff but nothing I mean I'd end up

0:01:39people who'd seen them but not right but then they started taking the developer

0:01:45requests like the next day and some people started getting on like a week

0:01:51later and I guess you're under an NDA you know based on your EDC account and

0:01:56they weren't supposed to write about it but it certainly wasn't a well-kept

0:01:59secret

0:02:00there's an additional indicated

0:02:02new and he got it could you not to do not let it never works the best the best

0:02:13example of that would be the iFixit guys who signed up for the defecate agreed to

0:02:19an NDA and then as soon as it came they take to get a pardon published there

0:02:24they're taking part I was pretty frustrated actually because of various

0:02:34things happen to do right and it so we don't want to piss him off and they

0:02:39cannot do it like I think it's great that they did this I think it's good to

0:02:43I think it was a mistake to sell into a book should be like double triple

0:02:48depressive was going to be a white where do you think they did it well I think

0:02:54they wanted everybody to get it you know

0:02:57responsible and encourage people to work and probably have to listen you know

0:03:05like maybe in a way that like Steve Jobs had to take a $1 salary and there were

0:03:12some kind of legal

0:03:16have to pay a CEO or something like that I swear that it was something and maybe

0:03:21over something like that to where they have to sell it for some amount of money

0:03:24is tight account for it in some way anyway so welcome to the talk show

0:03:31America's favorite accounting accounts

0:03:34sure but this week with Salesforce now so anyway though they had these out

0:03:44there lots of journalists and writers block them even though they weren't

0:03:47going to develop apps on them and I guess they mostly stuck to the NDA but

0:03:51it wasn't like it was tough to get but then the reviews all there was clearly

0:03:55like some some number of people just like without every other Apple devices

0:03:59iPhones and iPads that they were they got pre-release access to them probably

0:04:05about a week before and then the embargo was was clearly he was six six six

0:04:12o'clock eastern on Wednesday cuz all of a sudden you do it right and I was

0:04:18actually out it having dinner with our friend whiskas and Brady Haran you know

0:04:26the guy from hello internet he was over here in the States we were how was I got

0:04:33was sudden we were talking about the fact that there are no reviews of the

0:04:35Apple TV and then we're at dinner and then all of a sudden it was like all of

0:04:40a sudden they were like 15 reviews of that booty be but it was weird likes to

0:04:44take you know I'm or wasn't on that list

0:04:47TechCrunch wasn't on the list very strange and his teammates who was which

0:04:53makes sense yeah a lot of media stuff together and christine is she said been

0:04:59kicking ass yeah I just actually just before I we've sort of record actually

0:05:03just linked to her review is the only one I've read completely in and just

0:05:08like to accept that she nailed it I was like every single thing there is about

0:05:12ya gettin get interviews and surface yeah

0:05:17yeah interview Jony ive journey I and going to bank on it should have been

0:05:25into it right when she did and she got to choose she's the one who got access

0:05:29to when Tim Cook did the meet and greet with the teenagers at WWC yes she went

0:05:38in that and I think that was a good impromptu I think it might have been but

0:05:46I think it was you know it was clear you know right place right time you know

0:05:50yeah exactly that's good yeah I know you've only had it a day ahead mind

0:05:59longer guess I can talk about it as well and I am actually mad because if they

0:06:10don't do another day of Kitimat he said this is my case my question I want

0:06:15before we go on to is what was your experience like have you been able to

0:06:19upgrade from the the betas of the OS to the gym

0:06:23yeah it is but it didn't require using the diagnostic port or did it does not

0:06:32support I mean that USB port right but they even tell you in the instructions

0:06:36they're like USB seaport and then they're like this is his for diagnostics

0:06:40yeah well you know count against you just go to the website you download the

0:06:48package like the OS package and then you connect to itunes to it shows up in

0:06:55iTunes and then you just click Restore

0:07:01great so it's it's exactly like doing with it yet so you connected to your Mac

0:07:09with USB like the phone and then you can just do it from the idea and its USB CD

0:07:16which is one of the poorest out of being a potential

0:07:23yes I guess if your computer was a MacBook the new the new MacBook one port

0:07:31thing you would have to have a USB see the USBC cable yeah that's what I did

0:07:37really yeah I mean when i buy the MacBook I like to do little things I've

0:07:46known for years BC of one that turns your PC into so when did the App Store

0:07:55go live yesterday ok I can tell you what time but I think about noon because what

0:08:02we had to do with us so we had a GSM ended a few days then to get the App

0:08:10Store and it was kind of confusing we needed to be download EOS get back onto

0:08:15the device for the absolute of mistaken identification numbers identical

0:08:24wonder what they once which or I don't know exactly did a great now minus is if

0:08:32they just got out of the box so it's exactly the same as mind sending it yeah

0:08:42alright so
