00:12:12 ◼   ► just moving alerts to my wrist it it just feels like a punishing myself right [TS]

00:12:18 ◼   ► and you know that's one of the things I had [TS]

00:12:20 ◼   ► spoken to Google about before the review and then obviously pointed out in the [TS]

00:12:25 ◼   ► review is that there needs to be deeper customization of that but even then you [TS]

00:12:53 ◼   ► hits the front lock screen of your phone then it will hit your wrists yeah but it [TS]

00:12:58 ◼   ► needs to be deeper than that but they have to do it in a way where it's not [TS]

00:13:01 ◼   ► really completely frustrating to figure out how to get those things there [TS]

00:13:06 ◼   ► yeah of course a lot of people and I would argue that a lot of people who [TS]

00:13:09 ◼   ► want Android phones don't mind tinkering with that kind of stuff but I would also [TS]

00:13:12 ◼   ► say that even then that that's overwhelming yeah and it's it is so true [TS]

00:13:18 ◼   ► to that you get a new app and you launch it and you're using this new thing and [TS]

00:13:24 ◼   ► it's going to be send you notifications and it just says this app would like to [TS]

00:14:06 ◼   ► yeah I mean I've gotten pretty good about on my iPhone customizing what hits [TS]

00:14:11 ◼   ► the lock screen but that was after quite a bit of tweaking and settings stuff but [TS]

00:39:55 ◼   ► think you are [TS]

00:39:56 ◼   ► versus how fast you really are and if you feel like you're fast enough on the [TS]

00:40:00 ◼   ► iPhone that's really all that matters even if you found out that I got a [TS]

00:40:04 ◼   ► stopwatch still not as fast as you were on blackberry great so I famous example [TS]

00:40:23 ◼   ► human interface design guru has to be an apple and now he said whatever group and [TS]

00:40:32 ◼   ► Apple used to used to test an awful lot of stuff in with cameras and behind [TS]

00:40:39 ◼   ► glass and just test real people doing stuff and what they found out is that [TS]

00:40:44 ◼   ► people were WAY faster like let's say they wanted to print it say make a new [TS]

00:40:50 ◼   ► document and Mac right and then going and when they would tell some of the [TS]

00:40:55 ◼   ► people to use the mouse to file now down to print and tell other people to use [TS]

00:41:01 ◼   ► the keyboard shortcuts and they found that the mouse was using the mouse to go [TS]

00:41:46 ◼   ► of your brain at once there's the first part where you have to remember the what [TS]

00:41:52 ◼   ► it is like you know you want to save this document and in your brain causes [TS]

00:41:55 ◼   ► alright its command s use your use your left thumb put it on the command key and [TS]

00:42:02 ◼   ► then you hit the ice and then you know well I did it might be different now [TS]

00:42:07 ◼   ► because people are so used to computers who knows but that point is though that [TS]

00:45:34 ◼   ► HTC is interesting you know I know words a little bit HCC is interesting company [TS]

00:45:39 ◼   ► because I have said this for years and it sort of is it just goes to show how [TS]

00:48:44 ◼   ► you know really glowing review of like a new Galaxy found it inevitably mentioned [TS]

00:48:49 ◼   ► you know kind of a cheap build quality feel to it I i i dont know I haven't [TS]

00:49:01 ◼   ► mean it is it it was baffling to me how many more people I mean even appreciated [TS]

00:49:08 ◼   ► the galaxy s4 design over the HTC One about two years ago people would even [TS]

00:49:15 ◼   ► say even without all things that other things were equal people are [TS]

00:49:19 ◼   ► recommending the Samsung over the HTC and and part of that was marketing part [TS]

00:49:24 ◼   ► of that might have been some of these software features that no one ever [TS]

00:49:26 ◼   ► figured out how to use and are not even in the phone but yeah I mean Samsung's [TS]

00:49:32 ◼   ► biggest problem to me at this point is in hardware design it is a hundred [TS]

00:49:36 ◼   ► percent [TS]

00:49:37 ◼   ► software designed by Galaxy Tab Asus a really nice piece of hardware if you can [TS]

00:49:42 ◼   ► look inside the plastic backing that software is just a nightmare that's the [TS]

00:50:10 ◼   ► tooling on the back and to make it a little bit later bad doesn't bother me [TS]

00:50:14 ◼   ► as much as as as the software I think part of it too I do think part of it is [TS]

00:50:20 ◼   ► an institutional lack of taste because even materials aside even if you say [TS]

00:50:25 ◼   ► cost what we've got to build this out of plastic they've done things where [TS]

00:50:29 ◼   ► they've made the back look like fake leather and they even have fixed it [TS]

00:50:32 ◼   ► it's just tacky tacky but I think another thing [TS]

00:52:32 ◼   ► you know I don't know that that that what they're thinking but i would i [TS]

00:52:36 ◼   ► would wonder whether they're looking [TS]

00:52:37 ◼   ► some kind of big acquisition to get to bring in software talent that could you [TS]

00:52:43 ◼   ► know just hired figure out some but some company that does mobile software well [TS]
