[TS]
00:00:06
◼
►
than I did all the RSS worked and sound a good couple of people owning it put a
[TS]
00:00:15
◼
►
little extra effort into it it seems like there were pretty well in terms of
[TS]
00:00:20
◼
►
all the stuff that was supposed to forward getting forwarded you know our
[TS]
00:00:25
◼
►
RSS Feed Reader X and it is crazy though because it's like there's like four
[TS]
00:00:30
◼
►
different redirects there's like feeds . new radio talk show is really a CNAME
[TS]
00:00:38
◼
►
that Feedburner now feed press OK press is like the new indeed totally India
[TS]
00:00:48
◼
►
version of FeedBurner as surprised get on then I'm still using Feedburner her I
[TS]
00:00:52
◼
►
still don't know though it's like I'm torn because they do seem to have some
[TS]
00:00:58
◼
►
good analytics but on the other hand I always like just controlling my feed
[TS]
00:01:03
◼
►
totally and they you know and their defeat press seems like the best option
[TS]
00:01:07
◼
►
for something like this by far and you know you can do as I can you you know
[TS]
00:01:12
◼
►
they have any PII so you can always do a manual rebuild say hey look I you know I
[TS]
00:01:15
◼
►
made an edit to my last entry rebuild the feed so there you have the current
[TS]
00:01:21
◼
►
version of everything I don't know I might seem so did do a decent job
[TS]
00:01:26
◼
►
estimating subscribers which is the big thing right
[TS]
00:01:29
◼
►
yeah and that's I think you're on Soundcloud as well yeah yeah why I
[TS]
00:01:35
◼
►
signed up their cause they're the only ones who even tried to tell you how many
[TS]
00:01:39
◼
►
times it's been played yes I don't know how they are determining you know what
[TS]
00:01:44
◼
►
counts as a play this was a gold YouTube question of 2006 like how much of the
[TS]
00:01:51
◼
►
video to actually watch and I actually own the listeners a a correction on that
[TS]
00:01:57
◼
►
over the last week
[TS]
00:01:59
◼
►
said SoundCloud was free and if they do have a free tier but for like unlimited
[TS]
00:02:05
◼
►
download it tonight free it's $30 a month I think which is i what I have now
[TS]
00:02:11
◼
►
44 the show but compared to what I would pay to host the audio on s3 which i
[TS]
00:02:19
◼
►
think would probably be around two or three Grand Am I and it is free right
[TS]
00:02:24
◼
►
when you when you're comparing two or three grand for hosting on s3 vs $30 a
[TS]
00:02:29
◼
►
month for SoundCloud alright that's free and my you know with an asterisk yeah
[TS]
00:02:35
◼
►
it's crazy that s3 gets expensive it doesn't really scale that well in terms
[TS]
00:02:41
◼
►
of pricing for media no not yet
[TS]
00:02:44
◼
►
like video I mean I can't even imagine what a popular video download would cost
[TS]
00:02:50
◼
►
ya cuz I would think video would have to be at least at least an order of
[TS]
00:02:55
◼
►
magnitude bigger than audio right which just makes YouTube's infrastructure more
[TS]
00:03:03
◼
►
impressive when ya about it yeah absolutely yeah cuz my show this show is
[TS]
00:03:08
◼
►
usually around seventy megabytes you know sixty seventy eighty megabytes
[TS]
00:03:14
◼
►
depending on how far past the hour mark we blow yea the one hour you mean the 22
[TS]
00:03:22
◼
►
hours you still do you usually under still under fifty megabytes for about an
[TS]
00:03:28
◼
►
hour and then at the you know with the audio compression settings we use and so
[TS]
00:03:34
◼
►
you know somewhere between fifty and a hundred for an hour plus show my first
[TS]
00:03:39
◼
►
big story at Forbes when I was there was trying and this was early 2006 trying to
[TS]
00:03:47
◼
►
guess how much you to spend with bill was based on there and this is YouTube
[TS]
00:03:54
◼
►
you know pre Google acquisition their their venture funded company and back
[TS]
00:04:00
◼
►
then there were very few options for hosting video so they were using these
[TS]
00:04:04
◼
►
content delivery networks I think one I think the one they were using was
[TS]
00:04:08
◼
►
limelight
[TS]
00:04:08
◼
►
the big one as Akamai which is actually both public companies now but and they
[TS]
00:04:15
◼
►
refused to talk to me they wouldn't tell me and so I just use kind of publicly
[TS]
00:04:21
◼
►
available data of you know how many how many hours of video they stream today
[TS]
00:04:26
◼
►
the kind of rate you know going rate for video streaming video they actually
[TS]
00:04:33
◼
►
don't did not stream it was a it was a progressive download which was cheaper
[TS]
00:04:37
◼
►
than streaming because back then to stream you had to have some Adobe
[TS]
00:04:41
◼
►
license and and then yet and then I guess and I guess that it was a million
[TS]
00:04:49
◼
►
dollars a month you know an educated guess based on interviews with all these
[TS]
00:04:53
◼
►
experts in that kind of stuff and we publish this article and people went
[TS]
00:04:58
◼
►
crazy it was just a huge got a lot of attention because I think the big
[TS]
00:05:03
◼
►
headline was something this was when did was massive it was like YouTube burning
[TS]
00:05:08
◼
►
up cash spending a million dollars a month on a ver VC money on bandwidth and
[TS]
00:05:16
◼
►
I think the first thing I heard it back you know kind of threw like a second
[TS]
00:05:23
◼
►
degree grapevine was that I was kinda off by 10 X which is kinda you know not
[TS]
00:05:30
◼
►
you know it's always was very clear that it was an estimate and you never want to
[TS]
00:05:34
◼
►
be off by by that much so you know a million dollars a month would have been
[TS]
00:05:39
◼
►
a lot back then especially in this was before the era of the fifty million
[TS]
00:05:43
◼
►
dollar VC round so I'm so her which way were you off though you were off hi I
[TS]
00:05:48
◼
►
was high so they were they were running YouTube free free Google they were
[TS]
00:05:52
◼
►
running at $400,000
[TS]
00:05:54
◼
►
a roughly a month maybe something like that but yeah yeah it was much smaller
[TS]
00:06:00
◼
►
than but then I think I saw an interview recently with one of the founders were
[TS]
00:06:06
◼
►
they said that it costs almost a million dollars a month so I don't know I don't
[TS]
00:06:11
◼
►
really i mean you know someone has the bill somewhere so we now but then if you
[TS]
00:06:16
◼
►
looked at Lime lights financials there is no way that YouTube
[TS]
00:06:20
◼
►
us you know that bigger there because they were not a huge company at that
[TS]
00:06:24
◼
►
point there is no way the YouTube is generating like a third of their revenue
[TS]
00:06:27
◼
►
or whatever it was so anyway it was a really it was one of the first business
[TS]
00:06:32
◼
►
tech stories I did where we kind of played the the wire you know the follow
[TS]
00:06:37
◼
►
the money game and there's a lot of fun it was a really fun story got a lot of
[TS]
00:06:41
◼
►
attention I i you know I hope it was more accurate than it was in actually
[TS]
00:06:46
◼
►
don't even know how accurate it was but people from YouTube just would never
[TS]
00:06:50
◼
►
commenter or give suggestion either way but it was fun yeah it's a fun like a
[TS]
00:06:57
◼
►
modern equivalent of how many jelly beans are in the chart type of question
[TS]
00:07:01
◼
►
totally yeah and back then you know now video delivery is a lot cheaper I think
[TS]
00:07:06
◼
►
and videos bigger to cause its H D but it it's you know and I'm sure there are
[TS]
00:07:14
◼
►
quite a lot of companies with billion dollar AWS bills out of me
[TS]
00:07:19
◼
►
yea well guggenheim wonder what do unwanted you know good question now is
[TS]
00:07:23
◼
►
what is Google paying for bandwidth for YouTube the month I wonder because I
[TS]
00:07:29
◼
►
think that a lot and this is where now I'm making stuff up cos I don't actually
[TS]
00:07:33
◼
►
know but I think a lot of their bandwidth is appearing basis so they
[TS]
00:07:38
◼
►
don't have to pay actual cash they just can't plug in to the other ISP and they
[TS]
00:07:44
◼
►
I don't know great question probably I'm not sure you must be a and yeah you may
[TS]
00:07:50
◼
►
be right that Google isn't a genie situation that there they don't pay for
[TS]
00:07:54
◼
►
been with like normal companies yeah and there always are all these murmurs that
[TS]
00:07:58
◼
►
like Google is buying up all kinds of dark fiber and I would not be surprised
[TS]
00:08:04
◼
►
if they have the most advanced network infrastructure of any you know company
[TS]
00:08:10
◼
►
it's not like a straight-up telecom company so I don't know now I'm just
[TS]
00:08:17
◼
►
making stuff
[TS]
00:08:19
◼
►
but thats commentary right that's how we're allowed to make stuff up its cast
[TS]
00:08:26
◼
►
I wondered 23 user-submitted videos to to YouTube they still have the
[TS]
00:08:36
◼
►
ten-minute lemon right I don't know I've never I haven't uploaded a video to
[TS]
00:08:41
◼
►
YouTube in a long time I know that you know that first stuff to deter others
[TS]
00:08:45
◼
►
like a commercial partnership I mean when when you know some people can host
[TS]
00:08:49
◼
►
their whole movie on YouTube right but that's not just like guys signed up your
[TS]
00:08:53
◼
►
YouTube account and upload an hour video like the 10 minute thing is still a real
[TS]
00:08:58
◼
►
limit but I'm not quite sure you still see videos
[TS]
00:09:04
◼
►
chopped into multiple parts when they're clearly not partner videos like you know
[TS]
00:09:10
◼
►
some rip Apple Keynote or something like that a lot of them are still junked up
[TS]
00:09:16
◼
►
another good question I haven't I haven't you know uploading making web
[TS]
00:09:23
◼
►
videos is one of those things that every like two or three weeks on my comment I
[TS]
00:09:27
◼
►
wish I was making cool videos and then that's the end of it but someday
[TS]
00:09:32
◼
►
marianna yeah I don't have the podcast audio thing again we talk about talked
[TS]
00:09:41
◼
►
about last week but it's it's it's weird I know but sounds cool and you're right
[TS]
00:09:47
◼
►
that they do just to circle back five minutes that they seem to do more work
[TS]
00:09:51
◼
►
trying to figure out how many downloads you have than anybody else and it isn't
[TS]
00:09:56
◼
►
just ok you started a download right well we think you don't but it's it's
[TS]
00:10:04
◼
►
important because a podcast is delivered many different ways you know I'm sure
[TS]
00:10:08
◼
►
some people are actually listening in to it via the actual Soundcloud player but
[TS]
00:10:13
◼
►
a lot of people probably most people are just pulling the file through either
[TS]
00:10:18
◼
►
iTunes or the iOS podcasts app or any other pod catching type things so
[TS]
00:10:25
◼
►
and the other thing that gets to be like RSS too because you know podcast is RSS
[TS]
00:10:30
◼
►
but the same way with RSS feeds that the the numbers of don't equate to people
[TS]
00:10:36
◼
►
because let's say you signed up in my apples podcast app and you have a
[TS]
00:10:40
◼
►
subscription to the show and now you're using castro or something else that new
[TS]
00:10:45
◼
►
people don't unsubscribe from the other ones who used you might be copying it
[TS]
00:10:51
◼
►
twice you may be down only unwanted items on your Mac were you don't even
[TS]
00:10:55
◼
►
listen to it and in 110 Castro on your iPhone you're just one person you're
[TS]
00:10:59
◼
►
only gonna listen lunch but you might have two or even three copies of it yeah
[TS]
00:11:03
◼
►
and I often listen to you know this show on three or four different devices
[TS]
00:11:09
◼
►
throughout the course of the show so who knows what it's better for everyone if
[TS]
00:11:16
◼
►
all of those count as a place nobody had a mean it's am i complaining about it
[TS]
00:11:21
◼
►
I'm just only pointing out that it's very hard thing to put a number on it
[TS]
00:11:25
◼
►
always has been I mean even the Nielsen numbers for TV they were nonsense you
[TS]
00:11:29
◼
►
know oh I mean have you ever been part of the Arbitron radio survey were you
[TS]
00:11:33
◼
►
actually have like a paper book and you're supposed to fill in what you're
[TS]
00:11:37
◼
►
listening to the radio that when I was like 12 is fine for five bucks I'll
[TS]
00:11:45
◼
►
write down the radio shows how much listening to right that is actually how
[TS]
00:11:50
◼
►
radio ratings I they're still computed that way but they might be and I think
[TS]
00:11:55
◼
►
it's a little more digital now but it's still there still believe I was talking
[TS]
00:12:01
◼
►
to someone about this someone recently at a member of his radio TV though but
[TS]
00:12:05
◼
►
still based on I think it's I think we're talking about TV Nielsen I think
[TS]
00:12:10
◼
►
it's still based on like you know Nielsen households that have some sort
[TS]
00:12:15
◼
►
of equipment or now it at some point in the eighties and nineties they switched
[TS]
00:12:19
◼
►
to equipment but I'll know when I was a kid in like the seventies I remember

[TS]
00:19:04
◼
►
stuff next week
[TS]
00:19:05
◼
►
yes I'm wondering the big question I have been thinking about writing about
[TS]
00:19:11
◼
►
this tonight or tomorrow is how drastically different the new OS 10 is
[TS]
00:19:17
◼
►
gonna seem I just thinking about how you know when I was seven came out people
[TS]
00:19:24
◼
►
freaked out obviously not the Mac nerd types but a lot of other people did and
[TS]
00:19:32
◼
►
I wonder if changing someone's Mac that drastically would also cause people to
[TS]
00:19:37
◼
►
freak out and so I wonder how different it'll be theoretically they would change
[TS]
00:19:45
◼
►
a lot of the Mac OS two more closely resemble Iowa seven or whatever I S
[TS]
00:19:53
◼
►
eight is going to look and feel like but I don't know I do not know what to
[TS]
00:20:00
◼
►
expect and I spidey senses is failing me i mean clearly is going to change some
[TS]
00:20:06
◼
►
degree cosmetically but just how radically I know yeah and also the idea
[TS]
00:20:13
◼
►
of running this now almost four year old MacBook Air with a new software running
[TS]
00:20:21
◼
►
it also seems strange because OS 10 has really not changed that much
[TS]
00:20:26
◼
►
visually since then they've added a lot of stuff you like launcher and all that
[TS]
00:20:33
◼
►
kind of stuff but I don't remember like a different feeling Mac OS right yeah I
[TS]
00:20:39
◼
►
think that when they forget which version number one in 10 points six
[TS]
00:20:46
◼
►
maybe was ten five but one of them when they when they got rid of the separate
[TS]
00:20:51
◼
►
metal windows and just had all the windows just have one appearance in its
[TS]
00:20:55
◼
►
gray you know I mean there's not going to be two types of Windows anymore
[TS]
00:21:01
◼
►
a simple right
[TS]
00:21:03
◼
►
was probably 10 5 10 6 Snow Leopard yeah so tens 5's the one where they made it
[TS]
00:21:08
◼
►
look and and it certainly look different than what came before it because I got
[TS]
00:21:13
◼
►
rid of a lot of the candy-colored stuff but it was a good Jen toll flattening it
[TS]
00:21:20
◼
►
wasn't a radical flattening
[TS]
00:21:22
◼
►
this is the sword and I think that's what a lot of people were expecting with
[TS]
00:21:27
◼
►
iOS 7 was that kind of flattening and a perfect example of that if you can
[TS]
00:21:33
◼
►
anybody wants to look it up just look out the screenshots from last year's
[TS]
00:21:38
◼
►
WWDC app remember this and everyone was like this is what I yeah and I even saw
[TS]
00:21:48
◼
►
on Twitter mark Gurman from 9 to 5 Mac the other day was writing because he had
[TS]
00:21:52
◼
►
written about it you know that hey this is what I was seventh going to look like
[TS]
00:21:56
◼
►
and he still thinks it did that it was a clue as to what I was seven and I would
[TS]
00:22:01
◼
►
say no it was a step in that direction but like a half step as opposed to the
[TS]
00:22:06
◼
►
actual I was seven which was like holy shit yeah that was my you know had a lot
[TS]
00:22:11
◼
►
of people's reaction when that video came out just showing all the new
[TS]
00:22:17
◼
►
graphics and all that kind of stuff and I've said this before the last over the
[TS]
00:22:22
◼
►
last couple weeks on the show like the flat is overused and in talking about
[TS]
00:22:29
◼
►
these interfaces but you know there's no other word to say it a lot of the way is
[TS]
00:22:34
◼
►
West seven on the iPod iPhone and iPad it is flatters a lot less 3d treatments
[TS]
00:22:42
◼
►
between elements you know that when something scrolls underneath the
[TS]
00:22:47
◼
►
navigation bar there's no shadow there it's just just a one pixel line I just
[TS]
00:22:52
◼
►
don't see how the Mac can get away with that much flatness when you have by
[TS]
00:22:56
◼
►
definition these overlapping windows yes yeah by the way I love this is like you
[TS]
00:23:03
◼
►
know as someone who learn web design in the mid nineties and didn't really learn
[TS]
00:23:07
◼
►
much since then no 3d or gradient modeling
[TS]
00:23:12
◼
►
any of that kind of stuff I love flat design because it's all of a sudden I'm
[TS]
00:23:16
◼
►
actually a competent designer but and I'm nervous about when it's going to
[TS]
00:23:23
◼
►
start getting more more technical again and yeah we still have an iPad original
[TS]
00:23:30
◼
►
iPad running while i guess its iOS 5 now and I use it every few weeks and it's
[TS]
00:23:37
◼
►
super weird yeah I think it is anyways great but it also many ways I'm very
[TS]
00:23:43
◼
►
used to iOS 7 now and I really like it like there's there are some annoyances
[TS]
00:23:48
◼
►
but that's never not going to be the case but I really like the way it feels
[TS]
00:23:52
◼
►
yeah I think that for all the fights this what's the German terms determined
[TS]
00:23:59
◼
►
wrong yes something like that why you guys know what I'm talking about
[TS]
00:24:04
◼
►
well for all of the consternation that I was seven cause and and and as as vocal
[TS]
00:24:09
◼
►
as some of its critics are about the plane this of it visual style in
[TS]
00:24:13
◼
►
hindsight when I go back and fire up one of those devices i you know i phones and
[TS]
00:24:18
◼
►
look at Iowa sex or look at an old original iPad that has to be running iOS
[TS]
00:24:26
◼
►
5 or whatever the last version that it supports those it looks so much older it
[TS]
00:24:32
◼
►
just looks way more than we can it's hard to believe that it that that until
[TS]
00:24:36
◼
►
like eight months ago that was what everybody was using it really feels like
[TS]
00:24:42
◼
►
it it's just the distant past
[TS]
00:24:45
◼
►
visual style wise yeah and I don't see that changing I mean there may perhaps
[TS]
00:24:51
◼
►
make some tweaks like there are some of the Iowa 7 icons to just don't really
[TS]
00:24:57
◼
►
make sense like I think Game Center and then maybe also the newsstand one which
[TS]
00:25:06
◼
►
is hiding all the apps in there I don't know what's going to happen news denim I
[TS]
00:25:10
◼
►
just paper eyes but yeah maybe with new standards actually appropriate because I
[TS]
00:25:14
◼
►
feel like they don't know what to do with his stand-in so an icon that sort
[TS]
00:25:18
◼
►
of doesn't really know what it is either kind of
[TS]
00:25:20
◼
►
yeah that's going to be a jerk but it kind of fits whereas Game Center yeah I
[TS]
00:25:25
◼
►
don't know I kind of feel like they punted on its attractive to me but it
[TS]
00:25:29
◼
►
doesn't say Game Center no balls yeah just says like it just looks like
[TS]
00:25:37
◼
►
something you know we don't have an icon yet but we want to start giving beta
[TS]
00:25:40
◼
►
build it could be any at it could be any avital could be you know a photo app
[TS]
00:25:45
◼
►
Notes app could be a game you know we'll just put this placeholder icon hear ya
[TS]
00:25:50
◼
►
I'm excited about it though I do think you know in a big part I think it's
[TS]
00:25:56
◼
►
really cool here we are one week out from the BBC we have no idea what this
[TS]
00:25:59
◼
►
Mac OS 10 thing is gonna look like and as a longtime Mac guy you know someone
[TS]
00:26:06
◼
►
who really got drawn into the whole following up will closely specifically
[TS]
00:26:11
◼
►
only because of the Mac I think it's pretty awesome that here we are in 2014
[TS]
00:26:16
◼
►
in the most exciting thing we have coming up next week is a Mac interface
[TS]
00:26:20
◼
►
overall oh yeah yeah I'm pumped I remember when I switched from six to
[TS]
00:26:26
◼
►
seven on the Mac and now is crazy like that was the first one where the folders
[TS]
00:26:32
◼
►
are colored in ya 6 was system 6 worse you know
[TS]
00:26:38
◼
►
traced outlines and they are seven had the beginning of that kind of 3d bolder
[TS]
00:26:45
◼
►
look and that was just yes six supported color on certain models but it was funny
[TS]
00:26:50
◼
►
it was a very flat color because member like yeah it was very very flattered I
[TS]
00:26:57
◼
►
think it still had a black and white apple logo though I think the color
[TS]
00:27:01
◼
►
Apple logo didn't come in you know for the menu bar until but but everything
[TS]
00:27:07
◼
►
was fine in the win even though you have color the windows were still drawn just
[TS]
00:27:10
◼
►
blew snot grayscale black-and-white it was generally pixels on white pixels for
[TS]
00:27:16
◼
►
the windows in
[TS]
00:27:17
◼
►
and open and save dialogues and everything and then seven had like the
[TS]
00:27:22
◼
►
scrollbar had a gradient to the window title bar had a gradient yeah sorta
[TS]
00:27:30
◼
►
thing and it was you know it was clearly an evolution of the system 6 look they
[TS]
00:27:35
◼
►
just kind of colored in certain parts but didn't color in much I think it was
[TS]
00:27:39
◼
►
sort of I wouldn't call that an exciting overall though it to me gone from 67 it
[TS]
00:27:44
◼
►
was a huge change but the interface wasn't really that hugely changed I also
[TS]
00:27:49
◼
►
think that it it slow down our old maxim that was that was the thing I remember
[TS]
00:27:56
◼
►
is that system 7 really slow down your computer and it is I think we had a LCD
[TS]
00:28:03
◼
►
running six or maybe a plus or something I dunno yeah cause people used to people
[TS]
00:28:12
◼
►
used to complain about the old original Open and Save dialog boxes a lot because
[TS]
00:28:20
◼
►
they were mowed all and they were kind of ugly and it was system seven actually
[TS]
00:28:25
◼
►
originally didn't fix that I forget when the the NAB services Open and Save
[TS]
00:28:29
◼
►
dialog boxes came about which were a little bit more modernized you I was but
[TS]
00:28:33
◼
►
the thing about the old Open and Save dialog boxes was that if you knew the
[TS]
00:28:37
◼
►
keyboard commands the command up arrow and down arrow and you knew that you
[TS]
00:28:41
◼
►
could type ahead to match items in a list right like to match if if it's a
[TS]
00:28:48
◼
►
list of people's last names I could just type fr and get ya romer you can really
[TS]
00:28:53
◼
►
fly through those dialog boxes because when you hit command up to go up a level
[TS]
00:28:57
◼
►
in the hierarchy and down down down command outcome and down it would update
[TS]
00:29:02
◼
►
instantly it was like you could if you knew the incantation the new your way
[TS]
00:29:06
◼
►
around that you weren't using the mouse you're using the keyboard you could kind
[TS]
00:29:09
◼
►
of zip around your hard disk the similar paces to somebody who is an expert on
[TS]
00:29:15
◼
►
like a command-line system and then when system 7 came out to see Mike everything
[TS]
00:29:20
◼
►
got slowed down in
[TS]
00:29:22
◼
►
you did come in W you get the watch cursor for a little bit just a little
[TS]
00:29:26
◼
►
all sorts of little things really slow down and that was the thing that I hated
[TS]
00:29:30
◼
►
about visiting friends houses with PCs was that even though Windows was was
[TS]
00:29:35
◼
►
pretty awful it felt so fast vs system 7 and I wonder if maybe that's the kind of
[TS]
00:29:41
◼
►
thing that the new Mac OS by Willoughby attend her as we're not eleven you know
[TS]
00:29:46
◼
►
it'll be ten-point town I wonder if that's the kind of thing that a flatter
[TS]
00:29:52
◼
►
simpler you I could actually achieve a ps3 made your computer faster I don't
[TS]
00:29:58
◼
►
know maybe not I don't think feel like we've gotten to the point where even the
[TS]
00:30:02
◼
►
cheapest Mac can render pretty quickly yeah and especially if they're gonna go
[TS]
00:30:08
◼
►
in a less exuberant style like there's certain things in the transparency and
[TS]
00:30:12
◼
►
iOS that maybe they're pushing the limits on maybe they kinda are pushing
[TS]
00:30:16
◼
►
the limits on some of the iOS devices that supported true and the parallax and
[TS]
00:30:22
◼
►
stuff like that like that they didn't have a good frame rate on some of those
[TS]
00:30:26
◼
►
effects and it's gotten better with 71 but they were pushing but any Mac you
[TS]
00:30:31
◼
►
know even the cheapest Mac Mini which hasn't even been updated and six hundred
[TS]
00:30:36
◼
►
days or something like that
[TS]
00:30:38
◼
►
can just chew that stuff up I mean that the days when a Mac can render you know
[TS]
00:30:43
◼
►
Windows dropping down and stuff like that
[TS]
00:30:45
◼
►
menus dropping down quickly it's yeah I think so too is well with SSDs and all
[TS]
00:30:52
◼
►
that jazz
[TS]
00:30:54
◼
►
that's definitely a big change I think it's kinda cool though that we you know
[TS]
00:31:00
◼
►
hopefully that's the reason that it's kind of cool that that we haven't seen
[TS]
00:31:04
◼
►
any major leaks yet about what's going on
[TS]
00:31:09
◼
►
could just mean that there's nothing there's nothing worth knowing I don't
[TS]
00:31:12
◼
►
know her but I think it's kind of cool yeah I'm curious the leaks often come
[TS]
00:31:19
◼
►
closer to the event right especially when their software hardware leaks kind
[TS]
00:31:25
◼
►
of you know have been coming to early the supply chain stuff but when it's
[TS]
00:31:32
◼
►
stuff that never left Cupertino to begin with that the night before like wasn't
[TS]
00:31:39
◼
►
last year didn't some 1925 or someone else have all the icons either the night
[TS]
00:31:46
◼
►
before the morning of but I think that they had it as re-creations some right
[TS]
00:31:52
◼
►
yes someone like dictated to them and then they drew them and they did really
[TS]
00:31:56
◼
►
good yeah I think he joked about margaret was like like like a police
[TS]
00:32:01
◼
►
sketch where the yeah and it's like a dead ringer holy hell that's the guy
[TS]
00:32:06
◼
►
they they they like police sketched the icons and they did a really good job and
[TS]
00:32:12
◼
►
it was and they nailed it and there is so many people of course because the
[TS]
00:32:17
◼
►
icons are probably it's the first thing you see and be they are were kind of
[TS]
00:32:24
◼
►
radically simplified and there are so many people who are like no hope for
[TS]
00:32:28
◼
►
ways Apple gonna do I constantly was awesome and then you gotta wonder you
[TS]
00:32:34
◼
►
know for the apps that have the same app and OS 10 and iOS do they have the same
[TS]
00:32:41
◼
►
icons now so fari get this new icon the same as iOS or is it still Mac has their
[TS]
00:32:50
◼
►
own icon set right and are they going to do a thing like give Mac icons and
[TS]
00:32:55
◼
►
official shaped like a circle oh yeah interesting you know they've done a lot
[TS]
00:33:00
◼
►
of circles you know like the iBooks is new and has a circle and absolute gonna
[TS]
00:33:04
◼
►
circle though the iWork numbers that kind of stuff are still right free-form
[TS]
00:33:12
◼
►
shape their arbitrary shapes I don't know yeah I feel like I don't know I
[TS]
00:33:20
◼
►
wouldn't be surprised but I feel like they're so much I mean there's be thirty
[TS]
00:33:27
◼
►
years a history of Mac icons taking whatever shape that one whereas the iOS
[TS]
00:33:32
◼
►
always had you know you're going to make it a little round cornered square right
[TS]
00:33:37
◼
►
that's true yeah I used to make Mac icons that was
[TS]
00:33:42
◼
►
as a weird hobby like high school with resident just kinda goofed around is
[TS]
00:33:50
◼
►
there is a forgot which he was 84 85 had kind of these 3d folders and I would
[TS]
00:33:57
◼
►
draw the icon of apps back then you know I wouldn't keep my apps in the apps
[TS]
00:34:03
◼
►
folder I'll just keep them in their own folders right and Macintosh age D so
[TS]
00:34:09
◼
►
there is like the cork express folder and so I made like a special cork icon
[TS]
00:34:14
◼
►
for that folder I should think or category icon some of them had off like
[TS]
00:34:18
◼
►
a member of customizing icon so same thing you did it go in
[TS]
00:34:22
◼
►
did it go in and actually be an idiot and go in and get the actual resource in
[TS]
00:34:28
◼
►
the application or you would make your own icon and then copy and pasted in the
[TS]
00:34:32
◼
►
finders get info yeah and then you could just delete it and it would go back to
[TS]
00:34:36
◼
►
the regular I country that right and then some of them I even made aliases
[TS]
00:34:40
◼
►
and I think an alias could even maybe have its own icon yeah yeah good yeah
[TS]
00:34:45
◼
►
you could I think I'm almost sure you could which was crazy and confusing
[TS]
00:34:49

color your iMac was though and and default to it but yeah you could pick
[TS]
00:39:31
◼

like highlight colors that matched your your candy colored I'm I can't do any of
[TS]
00:39:38

[TS]
00:39:44
◼

there's still something like that cuz they used to be something the early days
[TS]
00:39:52
◼

◼
►
guess these are these are many different options here you can pick blue or
[TS]
00:40:04
◼
►
graphite and then you can change the highlight color but blue or gray are
[TS]
00:40:12
◼
►
your choices now that's right maybe yeah and and you know this is obviously now
[TS]
00:40:18
◼
►
just just fanfiction almost but I wonder if the Mac hardware will ever kind of
[TS]
00:40:27
◼
►
more closely reflect the Iowa hardware like you know the five-seat I plastic
[TS]
00:40:33
◼

like the return of the iBook or something like that it just as I was
[TS]
00:40:38
◼
►
testing out that new Microsoft Surface this week
[TS]
00:40:42
◼
►
yeah and it reminded me just how old the MacBook Air design is i mean it's now
[TS]
00:40:47
◼
►
six years old almost the current MacBook Air and is a look the sting is lighter
[TS]
00:40:57
◼
►
than a MacBook Air MacBook Air six years old man yeah and it looks to me the part
[TS]
00:41:05
◼
►
that really kind of looks a little dated is the the bezel around the screen
[TS]
00:41:09
◼
►
writers writing over like this since thick frame around the screen and that
[TS]
00:41:16
◼
►
the only part that is black glass or plastic glass but you know shiny black
[TS]
00:41:21
◼
►
screen is the screen whereas on the MacBook Pros they've got this much to me
[TS]
00:41:29
◼
►
much more modern look which looks like it matches the phone in matches the iPad
[TS]
00:41:34
◼
►
matches the iMac which goes it today is now matches the current displays where
[TS]
00:41:42
◼
►
the whole front surfaces black glass or black shiny screen material and then not
[TS]
00:41:50
◼
►
all of it is actually screen pixels but it's just surrounded by black screen
[TS]
00:41:55
◼
►
that it strikes me as a kind of thing that they've learned so much since then
[TS]
00:42:00
◼
►
with the iPhone and with the other Macs that there's a lot of improvements they
[TS]
00:42:06
◼
►
could make it they were you know redesigning the
[TS]
00:42:09
◼
►
laptop from scratch today yeah my my guess though is that they're waiting for
[TS]
00:42:16
◼
►
retina heirs to write date that because they just came out last month with new
[TS]
00:42:22
◼
►
MacBook Airs think they're gonna end their you know their their latest CPU
[TS]
00:42:30
◼
►
kid from Intel and etcetera etcetera but it's you know what we call in the
[TS]
00:42:35
◼
►
business a speed bump update not a major update but given that it just came out
[TS]
00:42:40
◼
►
last month I can't imagine they're gonna go retina soon and i cant
[TS]
00:42:44
◼
►
therefore I think that when they do go right now they'll get the modern look
[TS]
00:42:48
◼
►
where the whole front when you open up his black yeah unless they introduced
[TS]
00:42:52
◼
►
that as a new line which they kind of did with the retina perot because they
[TS]
00:42:59
◼
►
kept the older bro around who knows now this is silly
[TS]
00:43:04
◼
►
well this sort of thing that they did it with the pros they could do it they
[TS]
00:43:10
◼
►
could do whatever they want but I kinda think they wouldn't because it seems to
[TS]
00:43:14
◼

me that that sort of bifurcation of the product line it you can do it with a
[TS]
00:43:20

writing there but they've always had good stuff they've always had an
[TS]
00:52:24
◼
►
interesting design where it doesn't really look like anybody else's stuff
[TS]
00:52:27
◼
►
they were really early to me on that
[TS]
00:52:32
◼
►
infinite scroll where when you keep get you get to the end of a of an article in
[TS]
00:52:37
◼
►
a sort of a bottom of the page they just sort of algorithmically predict what
[TS]
00:52:41
◼
►
this might be something else you're interested in you can close the window
[TS]
00:52:45
◼
►
if you want but if you want to keep scrolling down here is another article
[TS]
00:52:48
◼
►
yeah and that's you know for better or worse I think it works really great on
[TS]
00:52:52
◼
►
on mobile when you know hey if you're still connected to the network here
[TS]
00:52:57
◼
►
something else to read sometimes the computer it's a little frustrating cuz
[TS]
00:53:03
◼
►
you wanna share the previous story that you read and then all of a sudden you're
[TS]
00:53:06
◼
►
at the next one but they've heard that you know again they have engineers in
[TS]
00:53:10
◼
►
the newsroom so they're making changes in real time as they decide whether
[TS]
00:53:15
◼
►
something's working or not but that reminds me of Adrian whole body during
[TS]
00:53:19
◼
►
any news I know the name co-creator of the Django Python ok a bunch of other
[TS]
00:53:26
◼
►
stuff from chicago he's been on a mean longer than anybody maybe even close to
[TS]
00:53:31
◼
►
a decade but at least from a 2006 2007 on programming as journalism you know
[TS]
00:53:39
◼
►
that it's now that that the output device for so much journalism is a
[TS]
00:53:46
◼
►
computer that it's not a piece of paper with ink on it and it's not a TV screen
[TS]
00:53:51
◼
►
getting something broadcast to millions of people identically that it's this
[TS]
00:53:56
◼
►
device that can compute that it's almost criminal not to take advantage of that
[TS]
00:54:01
◼
►
and that we can't you can't just hire your way to take advantage of it is not
[TS]
00:54:07
◼
►
just hire programmers to build you a CMS and then they go away and you're just
[TS]
00:54:12
◼
►
sit there and type text into it and pasted pictures into it but that they're
[TS]
00:54:16
◼
►
full time part of the team in the same way that a TV studio a TV news is always
[TS]
00:54:22
◼
►
going to have cameramen that website should always have programmers yeah that
[TS]
00:54:27
◼
►
you wouldn't the same way that you wouldn't get rid of cameramen at a TV
[TS]
00:54:30
◼
►
station you know you wouldn't just haven't come in at the beginning and set
[TS]
00:54:34
◼
►
the cameras up in the studio and say here to the angles they should be at now
[TS]
00:54:37
◼
►
you're on your own just just hit this button when you want the camera to
[TS]
00:54:40
◼
►
record you know you wouldn't want you don't want to dismiss the programmers
[TS]
00:54:44
◼
►
after they've built the system now and I think like having worked in a few
[TS]
00:54:48
◼
►
newsrooms now there in many organizations there tends to be a
[TS]
00:54:52
◼
►
combative relationship between product and and the journalists because you know
[TS]
00:54:58
◼
►
sure every CMS has flaws you're just sitting around
[TS]
00:55:02
◼
►
and and ragging on this crappy CMS you know you're probably not thinking that
[TS]
00:55:08
◼
►
the nicest thoughts about the people who made it for you and often are you know
[TS]
00:55:13
◼
►
trashing them whereas if they're sitting next to you and you are working on stuff
[TS]
00:55:17
◼
►
together it's a really cool opportunity it's also made me personally realize
[TS]
00:55:24
◼
►
that I need to learn to code to you know I've been programming web site since the
[TS]
00:55:31
◼
►
mid-nineties known HTML and later CSS since you know since it was a thing but
[TS]
00:55:37
◼
►
I never took the dive into more advanced stuff and now I realize especially the
[TS]
00:55:43
◼
►
last six months working with my friend marked orson on city notes kind of
[TS]
00:55:50
◼
►
feeling like a helpless loser not being able to help out with with building our
[TS]
00:55:56
◼
►
iOS so I know it's gonna take a lot of time but and it's kinda corny but in
[TS]
00:56:01
◼
►
this era it feels like coding skills are almost like freedom so I want two things
[TS]
00:56:08
◼
►
I'm gonna spend some of my spare time I now have already started actually I
[TS]
00:56:13
◼
►
don't want to use the metaphor but I'll compared to camera work again where you
[TS]
00:56:19
◼
►
know there was a time when it was so calm you know in the film days when you
[TS]
00:56:23
◼
►
had so much going on just take pictures where you know many people learned to
[TS]
00:56:27
◼
►
take photographs but now everybody has cameras with them all the time and not
[TS]
00:56:31
◼
►
everybody is going to be a pro photographer and not that you are going
[TS]
00:56:35
◼
►
to become a top notch developer but it's like you should have seen you know maybe
[TS]
00:56:39
◼
►
everybody should have a basic fluency in it
[TS]
00:56:42
◼
►
yeah a little coat and everybody should learn a little bit so you can take a
[TS]
00:56:46
◼
►
decent picture like maybe especially when you're out you're a journalist you
[TS]
00:56:51
◼
►
see something you should be able to get as good a photograph is your you know
[TS]
00:56:55
◼
►
your iPhone is capable of taking I think also the mobile era you know has a lot
[TS]
00:57:01
◼
►
to do with at least for me because back in the day like out by like student
[TS]
00:57:07
◼
►
edition of was a cold warrior
[TS]
00:57:10
◼
►
was the old yeah
[TS]
00:57:12
◼
►
and I tried learning that I bought books like learn C on the Macintosh works yeah
[TS]
00:57:17
◼
►
right and never took I can never got past hello world in part because you
[TS]
00:57:24
◼
►
know it's there my desk think well if I could make him a cap what would I make
[TS]
00:57:28
◼
►
not gonna make like an email client or something like that so and then the web
[TS]
00:57:33
◼
►
came out so I just kind of started goofing around on the web but now in the
[TS]
00:57:37
◼
►
iPhone era like I have an unlimited list of cool apps that I would want to make
[TS]
00:57:42
◼
►
and and and so one of the things that's that has kind of stuck with me over the
[TS]
00:57:48
◼
►
last week as I've been starting to learn JavaScript just kind of getting my feet
[TS]
00:57:53
◼
►
wet is it's strange and unfortunate that there is no kind of iPad native
[TS]
00:58:00
◼
►
programming environment and maybe I'm totally missing it but I've never heard
[TS]
00:58:04
◼
►
of one that's that's has any traction in or has any acclaim and some like you
[TS]
00:58:11
◼
►
know starting with these programming lessons and I have to sit at my computer
[TS]
00:58:15
◼
►
at a desk in this ok coo coo DEA definitely worth checking out
[TS]
00:58:24
◼
►
ok this wouldn't be good for you it more for kids there's a great one for kids
[TS]
00:58:29
◼
►
that Jonas has on his iPad oh cool less code in a little bit more visual code is
[TS]
00:58:36
◼
►
probably one worth checking out
[TS]
00:58:37
◼
►
people on people who are out there let's send us twittered send it hit us up on
[TS]
00:58:42
◼
►
twitter twitter is my
[TS]
00:58:45
◼
►
Torana let me know what I should be doing alright dude tips but you know and
[TS]
00:58:52
◼
►
this is one of the things I cover during the day is that post-pc shift like I did
[TS]
00:58:59
◼
►
an article this week in courts about tablet sales are actually on pace to
[TS]
00:59:05
◼
►
match PC sales this year or at least come very close and by next year
[TS]
00:59:10
◼
►
far surpassed them but you still can't make a tablet app on a tablet
[TS]
00:59:16
◼
►
well and that's the problem that could ran into is that they ran into it out
[TS]
00:59:21
◼
►
you get it but they've run into a lot of hassle with the App Store in terms of
[TS]
00:59:27
◼
►
like you interpret encoder some well I think that they're using javascript so
[TS]
00:59:33
◼
►
there's a rule that you're not supposed to include a third-party interpreter but
[TS]
00:59:38
◼
►
if you want to have interpreted code you can use the web kids javascript and have
[TS]
00:59:42
◼
►
at it but you can't they wanted to have it you could maybe like savior sample
[TS]
00:59:47
◼
►
project and then I could download your sample project and running and could but
[TS]
00:59:52
◼
►
then all of a sudden that runs afoul of the ARU distributing apps you make a
[TS]
00:59:58
◼
►
game and co dia and then you send me the game thing and now i cant open it in my
[TS]
01:00:03
◼
►
copy of could have a new game running and I didn't get it through the App
[TS]
01:00:08
◼
►
Store and so that was like so I forget all the crazy hoops you have to jump
[TS]
01:00:12
◼
►
through but it makes it all it's all worse for the overall experience for the
[TS]
01:00:17
◼
►
benefit of Apple's control overall distribution and you know there are
[TS]
01:00:24
◼
►
there are constraints you know typing in stuff on an iPad is annoying still and I
[TS]
01:00:29
◼
►
get it would be cool if either apple or a third party were to come out with a
[TS]
01:00:35
◼
►
fairly sophisticated yet iPad design and coding environment will remember you
[TS]
01:00:45
◼
►
can't do it right
[TS]
01:00:46
◼
►
member when we were kids and we would get magazines with programs in them
[TS]
01:00:50
◼
►
right now here's a program
[TS]
01:00:53
◼
►
that you know there's a simple I mean this is stupid you can write this in 10
[TS]
01:00:56
◼
►
lines three lines of basic you know but you know and to your weight on earth
[TS]
01:01:02
◼
►
here's what you weigh on the moon and here's what you would weigh on jupiter
[TS]
01:01:05
◼
►
and then you would type it into your you know your Apple $2.99 for a basic and
[TS]
01:01:12
◼
►
then you'd save it and then you type of run the name of the program and it would
[TS]
01:01:15
◼
►
run but to to duplicate these programs they were printed magazines and you'd
[TS]
01:01:19
◼
►
sit the magazine next to the computer and type the men and that's how I
[TS]
01:01:23
◼
►
learned a lot of HTML from the net magazine Jimmy like tables and that kind
[TS]
01:01:29
◼
►
of stuff you know and it's crazy that when when now that we've invented things
[TS]
01:01:33
◼
►
like the internet and copy and paste and down writing and stuff like that that's
[TS]
01:01:37
◼
►
sort of how you have to use ko diya because they don't want you to
[TS]
01:01:40
◼
►
distribute things that you just tap and open and run and so you're stuck
[TS]
01:01:47
◼
►
retyping all this stuff but I always worth checking out
[TS]
01:01:50
◼
►
yeah yeah I remember actually think Google made some sort of very simple
[TS]
01:01:54
◼
►
Android you know program almost drag-n-drop programming tools I don't
[TS]
01:02:01
◼
►
think it took off the price shut it down you know what that's an interesting
[TS]
01:02:03
◼
►
point because it doesn't have the disease that iron-fisted control over
[TS]
01:02:11
◼
►
executing code that by design not not like it's you know rights as a weakness
[TS]
01:02:15
◼
►
this is a difference of opinion you know so you know you could buy a Nexus and
[TS]
01:02:23
◼
►
you know stock app you know this is the stock Google Android device
[TS]
01:02:26
◼
►
annexes whatever the latest phone is and you can go into settings and say allow
[TS]
01:02:31
◼
►
you know applications from third parties and then it'll say you sure this is you
[TS]
01:02:36
◼
►
know could open up to security problems you say don't worry I know what I'm
[TS]
01:02:39
◼
►
doing and then you can install apps from anywhere and you you know with no
[TS]
01:02:43
◼
►
developer signing and stuff like that you can just install apps on your device
[TS]
01:02:47
◼
►
so there's an opportunity there were they could have something like a sort of
[TS]
01:02:53
◼
►
next-generation hyper card right i mean that so that's what everybody always
[TS]
01:02:57
◼
►
comes back to as they come back to hyper card because hyper card and the reason
[TS]
01:03:01
◼
►
people keep coming back to hyper card is that hydrocarbon people you know if if
[TS]
01:03:08
◼
►
if I don't know what the percentage of people who can program is this ballpark
[TS]
01:03:13
◼
►
in say 45 percent of people if they want to can program objectives he apps
[TS]
01:03:19
◼
►
probably lower than that I would say less than 10 let's say all right let's
[TS]
01:03:23
◼
►
be more realistic it's a one percent of people have that that aptitude and it's
[TS]
01:03:29
◼
►
a combination of ability and desire because it's so hard and complicated you
[TS]
01:03:35
◼
►
just can't make yourself do it unless you're driven to do it and you know how
[TS]
01:03:41
◼
►
hard was that thing we're way more maybe five percent of people who looked at i
[TS]
01:03:47
◼
►
per carton had ideas for a little thing a good programmer you know if you click
[TS]
01:03:51
◼
►
the button this happens and you can click this button and you have a list of
[TS]
01:03:54
◼
►
things that you can drag and drop to rearrange that there was way more people
[TS]
01:04:00
◼
►
who could look at it
[TS]
01:04:02
◼
►
get it and and and not in terms of intelligence I think entirely although
[TS]
01:04:07
◼
►
part of it is clearly intelligence but it's also that that level of obsession
[TS]
01:04:12
◼
►
where if it was so much easier to do it and you didn't have to commit so much
[TS]
01:04:19
◼
►
and learn at such a low level you'd be willing to do it would be willing to try
[TS]
01:04:24
◼
►
a little less abstract it's not you know a text editor with gibberish in it it
[TS]
01:04:30
◼
►
there's a lot more visual aspects they did it just removed a lot of friction
[TS]
01:04:35
◼
►
and it just the lack of friction would encourage more people to try it in the
[TS]
01:04:40
◼
►
same way the digital photography you know ultimately the best pictures we
[TS]
01:04:46
◼
►
take are they any better than the best pictures that were taken fifty sixty
[TS]
01:04:50
◼
►
years ago no but way more pictures are being taken period because there's so
[TS]
01:04:55
◼
►
much less friction you just turn on these simple devices and exposure is
[TS]
01:04:59
◼
►
computed automatically
[TS]
01:05:01
◼
►
you know the the apertures computed automatically and it's fiction is
[TS]
01:05:09
◼
►
removed and so people do it and that's what I per card was hyper card was like
[TS]
01:05:13
◼
►
a point and shoot camera for programming and there's less get that for iOS
[TS]
01:05:20
◼
►
you're listening you out with this bill will do it
[TS]
01:05:24
◼
►
yeah I think I think people's you know people have tried stuff like that and I
[TS]
01:05:28
◼
►
think sometimes people maybe get caught up because they want to boil the ocean
[TS]
01:05:31
◼
►
all at once and I think well it's not just you I listen to iOS and Android and
[TS]
01:05:36
◼
►
web browser Tuesday that anybody you can open it I say start simple maybe you
[TS]
01:05:40
◼
►
know to attempt to get to it and have it just run on the iPad right and then
[TS]
01:05:44
◼
►
worry about worry about other things next get it running on the iPad and
[TS]
01:05:50
◼
►
expanded the iPhone and then think about Android and then you know but get it
[TS]
01:05:55
◼
►
running one place at first anyway I think Google has an opportunity there to
[TS]
01:05:59
◼
►
do something Apple couldn't because Google could build a thing like that and
[TS]
01:06:03
◼
►
not worry about the distribution of these you know the hyper card parlance
[TS]
01:06:09
◼
►
the stacks right you hyper card was the app and it ran stacks whatever you want
[TS]
01:06:14
◼
►
to call them but you know that you would they could allow people to distribute
[TS]
01:06:18
◼
►
these things to other Android users and not they don't care if you're not going
[TS]
01:06:21
◼
►
through the Play Store anymore
[TS]
01:06:23
◼
►
totally yeah and I think they started to try it but then they don't know what
[TS]
01:06:29
◼
►
happened with that weird thing that they made maybe it was just too simple I
[TS]
01:06:33
◼
►
really think it was a typical Google thing where somebody you know some three
[TS]
01:06:37
◼
►
people built the thing I never really anything behind it and they relate well
[TS]
01:06:40
◼
►
to ship it you know who cares and then nobody ever right kind of headset with
[TS]
01:06:47
◼
►
Automator but that's not really that's not even hard but I remember in the
[TS]
01:06:54
◼
►
early Automator days actually my friend ran a cycle Automator world which was
[TS]
01:06:59
◼
►
you know a community of Automator recipes or whatever they are called now
[TS]
01:07:05
◼
►
is pretty cool
[TS]
01:07:06
◼
►
Automator school and Apple script still remains you know it's alive and well but
[TS]
01:07:12
◼
►
it's not
[TS]
01:07:13
◼
►
driving around and you know but you know there's little signs of health for it
[TS]
01:07:19
◼
►
like for example I mean the biggest signs of health for Apple script to me
[TS]
01:07:23
◼
►
is that when the new versions of iWork apps came out the new Pages Numbers and
[TS]
01:07:30
◼
►
Keynote with this unified file format across iOS and the web and the Mac apps
[TS]
01:07:39
◼
►
and they took out all these you know all these features that were in the Mac gone
[TS]
01:07:43
◼
►
because they'd they defied the whole platform on this common denominator
[TS]
01:07:50
◼
►
features Apple script is gone but in the months since they've they've brought it
[TS]
01:07:54
◼
►
back I don't think that they've brought entirely back but it mostly back you
[TS]
01:07:58
◼
►
know that most of the things you could do an AppleScript in those apps before
[TS]
01:08:01
◼
►
you can do again you know it wasn't enough to be there in their initial
[TS]
01:08:07
◼
►
release but it's enough of a priority that they got to it with before before
[TS]
01:08:12
◼
►
the end of the year
[TS]
01:08:14
◼
►
yeah that's good do you buy into the concept of multi view you know two apps
[TS]
01:08:23
◼
►
to up apps on iOS or playing with that surface let's hold that let me to the
[TS]
01:08:29
◼
►
third downs ok let's combine that with that for iOS combined with the surface
[TS]
01:08:34
◼
►
of a third sponsor final sponsor the show great great company carries was
[TS]
01:08:42

various things in the OC seem like a lot of puffed up kinda corporate speak and
[TS]
01:16:39
◼

and Sasha actually sounded more human and you know what he said was smart that
[TS]
01:16:45
◼
►
they're making these devices that every single product ass to get into their
[TS]
01:16:49
◼
►
cloud strategy and all this stuff and then the guy who came on a demo the
[TS]
01:16:55
◼

hardware was kind of a bozo and they were making all these really stupid
[TS]
01:16:59
◼

jokes about Joanna stern the new Wall Street Journal reviewer on if you watch
[TS]
01:17:04
◼
►
the video it was just really awkward and not not funny at all I didn't watch the
[TS]
01:17:10
◼
►
video but I was following along on Twitter and I got just that they were
[TS]
01:17:15
◼
►
making they were referencing Joanna
[TS]
01:17:17
◼
►
a lot yeah and it's kind of funny the first time but then they did at like
[TS]
01:17:21
◼
►
four more times can you imagine like you know Phil Schiller stopping an Apple
[TS]
01:17:28
◼
►
Keynote four times to rib Walt Mossberg about something right for me alright
[TS]
01:17:33
◼
►
what if he did he'd John remember that post and and maybe once is kind of funny
[TS]
01:17:38
◼
►
well I guess it's because Joanna who is she was gonna show a couple months ago
[TS]
01:17:45
◼
►
but talking about these issues with tablets and laptops and tablets was
[TS]
01:17:49
◼
►
right after she had done I'm sure this is why they referenced her is that she's
[TS]
01:17:52
◼
►
done she's been on this beat for a couple years now
[TS]
01:17:55
◼
►
of you know what's the ideal form factor for like one and a half
[TS]
01:18:00
◼
►
122 pounds portable computer that you're gonna do real work on is it a tablet if
[TS]
01:18:05
◼
►
so how do you put in your lap how do you get a keyboard to type press if it's not
[TS]
01:18:09
◼
►
if it's a laptop you know does it have a touch screen what what what where's this
[TS]
01:18:13
◼
►
going she's written a lot about it and she's done fantastic work reviewing a
[TS]
01:18:18
◼
►
wide variety of stuff so I'm sure that's why I think she came from reviewing
[TS]
01:18:23
◼
►
laptop so she has probably you know if if not the best one of the best kind of
[TS]
01:18:28
◼
►
history's in her brain of the evolution of these devices so it makes sense that
[TS]
01:18:35
◼
►
they would reference heard during a keynote I suppose once but then it was
[TS]
01:18:41
◼
►
very weird I think I tweeted something like Microsoft you're still so Microsoft
[TS]
01:18:46
◼
►
or something like that she was curious why she was in the front she found out
[TS]
01:18:53
◼
►
why because she was part of the part of the play went to take like a regular
[TS]
01:18:58
◼
►
season yeah right in front
[TS]
01:19:02
◼
►
yeah some of the stuff they did was actually kind of funny like you know
[TS]
01:19:05
◼
►
they made the kind of self-deprecating comment about how everybody in the
[TS]
01:19:10
◼
►
audience was typing on a MacBook Air but dragged along
[TS]
01:19:17
◼
►
and then I grabbed my service in and got out of there
[TS]
01:19:23
◼
►
yeah that's funny that's like an interesting I say they definitely
[TS]
01:19:27
◼
►
definitely notice that they made a joke about the fact that the MacBook Air is
[TS]
01:19:32
◼
►
likes stock issue for what we call this decade the tens you know in the tens
[TS]
01:19:39
◼
►
tech journalists have MacBook Airs it's just it's just ridiculous what
[TS]
01:19:45
◼
►
percentage and that I you know most of my press event or Apple event but even
[TS]
01:19:50
◼
►
that like build when I was it built in the press room not everybody and clearly
[TS]
01:19:55
◼
►
there's a lot of Windows devices in the bill press room but here's a crazy
[TS]
01:19:59
◼
►
amount of MacBook Air is too crazy and if this thing it was pretty much all
[TS]
01:20:04
◼
►
Macs I rarely see Windows PCs in my life which is kind of funny but well life I
[TS]
01:20:13
◼
►
guess the thing to remember is that journalists most of them are on a tight
[TS]
01:20:18
◼
►
deadline
[TS]
01:20:19
◼
►
you know they've got two files if there are there today to cover the Microsoft
[TS]
01:20:24
◼
►
service event they've gotta have something ready to go pretty soon after
[TS]
01:20:27
◼
►
the end and the lot of people now like most sites now they're taking photos and
[TS]
01:20:32
◼
►
they're putting photos in then there's it's more than just typing in a textarea
[TS]
01:20:36
◼
►
field hitting a button there's you know a CMS production system and you know you
[TS]
01:20:41
◼
►
kinda need your you know I don't test them any devices but a lot of people do
[TS]
01:20:48
◼
►
but in terms of actually doing the work of covering the event you want your
[TS]
01:20:52
◼
►
go-to trustee this is my thing and it's got all the apps I need to you know get
[TS]
01:20:58
◼
►
into the CMS to you know format is the way I wanna formatted to get the photos
[TS]
01:21:04
◼
►
into where the photos go in the CMS so I can put him in the article and all this
[TS]
01:21:07
◼
►
and from most of the people working today it's it's a MacBook Air totally
[TS]
01:21:13
◼
►
any especially if you're carrying around areas an amazing portable computer so
[TS]
01:21:21
◼
►
then you know the microsofts argument seems to be
[TS]
01:21:26
◼
►
that a tablet with a keyboard is better than a laptop because they have
[TS]
01:21:34
◼
►
different you know one was that it's lighter than a MacBook Air which I don't
[TS]
01:21:39
◼
►
you put that big keyboard thing on there it's I don't think it's lighter I don't
[TS]
01:21:44
◼
►
know their comparison in in this is to me it's everybody called this out is
[TS]
01:21:49
◼
►
that their weight comparison was the uncovered surface to the MacBook Air
[TS]
01:21:56
◼
►
which has an attached cover and if the 13 inch six-year old MacBook Air vs the
[TS]
01:22:04
◼
►
brand new uncovered twelve-inch the design is six years old dozen that's
[TS]
01:22:12
◼
►
fair game
[TS]
01:22:14
◼
►
yeah it's still just came out with new ones last month you know that's fair
[TS]
01:22:19
◼
►
game but it just doesn't seem like a fair comparison to say here's here's
[TS]
01:22:26
◼
►
this device where a big part of it is that we've built this great cover with a
[TS]
01:22:30
◼
►
keyboard and a great much improved over last year's trackpad and then we
[TS]
01:22:34
◼
►
compared to this device that has a built-in keyboard and trackpad we're not
[TS]
01:22:38
◼
►
gonna put the cover on the way right yeah so that's i mean that's also the
[TS]
01:22:43
◼
►
cutting like okay but in your backpack with a few other things there's a really
[TS]
01:22:47
◼
►
in in use I will say there's there's no noticeable difference in you know how
[TS]
01:22:53
◼
►
light one of those things feels next to the other one and that's not even really
[TS]
01:22:57
◼
►
the point like weight is not really the deciding factor in this its is this
[TS]
01:23:03
◼
►
better for and I guess straight up just going after people who are using this
[TS]
01:23:09
◼
►
for work like if you're the kind of person who is doing work and a laptop
[TS]
01:23:14
◼
►
which is really the only thing I use my laptop now four straight up work is the
[TS]
01:23:19
◼
►
tablet with a keyboard better and it's still to me it just fell off and I
[TS]
01:23:25
◼
►
haven't used it much and I i really should use it more but the idea of
[TS]
01:23:28
◼
►
balancing this heavy screen and with the slider keyboard than that kind of
[TS]
01:23:35
◼
►
attached to a but not very rigid just seems
[TS]
01:23:39
◼
►
very awkward I just I would always rather have a laptop and then you know
[TS]
01:23:45
◼
►
for the stuff that I use it a touch tablet for have a separate tablet that
[TS]
01:23:51
◼
►
is you know really designed for that and you know hardware and software and size
[TS]
01:23:58
◼
►
and all that sort of stuff for wait to really matter it has to be like a next
[TS]
01:24:04
◼
►
level i mean it's it's all a little arbitrary but it's gotta be like hey
[TS]
01:24:09
◼
►
this is actually like a game changer and example out I'll bring up is the MacBook
[TS]
01:24:14
◼
►
Air totally wear a year ago when it was the iPad 3 and then 24 and he's rather
[TS]
01:24:20
◼
►
than the iPad retina iPad still had the full bezel around the hole size doesn't
[TS]
01:24:25
◼
►
matter they were the same way to 394 versus the first generation iPad Mini it
[TS]
01:24:33
◼
►
was like wow this one has a lot faster and has a beautiful Retina screen but
[TS]
01:24:38
◼
►
man it's so much heavier than the mini which doesn't have a Retina screen and
[TS]
01:24:42
◼
►
it's using your old you know
[TS]
01:24:44
◼
►
system-on-a-chip but man is it late and it just seemed like a real easy decision
[TS]
01:24:53
◼
►
you want to go lightweight and easy to carry around or do you want to go
[TS]
01:24:57
◼
►
beautiful screen little bit have here whereas this year with the error it was
[TS]
01:25:01
◼
►
so much lighter like everybody who was at the original press event in the last
[TS]
01:25:07
◼
►
October for the iPad everybody was like geez I don't know how to decide which
[TS]
01:25:11
◼
►
one of these two get now because the area so much lighter it's the whole
[TS]
01:25:15
◼
►
reason I wanted to many in the first place was it was easy to hold one hand
[TS]
01:25:18
◼
►
it but this is easier than it was so much lighter than what came before the
[TS]
01:25:23
◼

surface Pro is not like that the service is over a pound so it's it's you know

it's not heavy thick it's it's not and that's fine I mean it's you know i i
[TS]
01:25:35
◼

guess its thinner than a laptop
[TS]
01:25:37
◼

and maybe a little lighter than one but it's not the difference between to me
[TS]
01:25:41

the big the best example is still actually the MacBook Air vs my old
[TS]
01:25:47
◼

plastic MacBook which was so happy that I dreaded carrying it around it whereas
[TS]
01:25:52
◼

the the minute I got the 13 inch MacBook Air
[TS]
01:25:55
◼

it was the first computer I'd ever owned that I am happy just to take anywhere it
[TS]
01:25:59
◼
►
never is annoying to carry it around and there were other benefits too like the
[TS]
01:26:04
◼

battery life and that kind of stuff but this so the surface is not like that and
[TS]
01:26:10
◼
►
again I should use it more and I'm not a Windows guys kind of foreign to me still
[TS]
01:26:18
◼

although I did pop open Twitter and Internet Explorer side-by-side and I was
[TS]
01:26:25
◼

actually pretty cool I got totally so how does the how what is the interface
[TS]
01:26:29
◼
►
for for putting two side by side of the full screen I'm sure there is a way to
[TS]
01:26:37
◼
►
that is the actual way to do it but in my case it was poked around until it
[TS]
01:26:41
◼
►
happens by accident it some secret gesture like swiping in from one of the
[TS]
01:26:47
◼
►
sides or something like that which again I'm sure there's there's an actual right
[TS]
01:26:51
◼
►
way to do it I just haven't figured that out so that's my ass quake and I wrote
[TS]
01:26:56
◼
►
about this this week as you know I'm not opposed to it and you know I got some
[TS]
01:27:01
◼
►
respect but like I wrote something I would like to put it in you know Randian
[TS]
01:27:05
◼
►
terms Michael to still Michael lops Twitter schtick you say I want to run to
[TS]
01:27:11
◼
►
AB side-by-side on my iPad and I hear I want the iPad to become more complicated
[TS]
01:27:18
◼
►
right and that doesn't mean that I think that they shouldn't do it or they're not
[TS]
01:27:22
◼
►
going to do it but all I want to China light on is that if they do it no matter
[TS]
01:27:28
◼
►
how clever it is it will therefore make the iPad more complicated than it was
[TS]
01:27:33
◼
►
before may be justly so maybe it's a good decision you know when when when
[TS]
01:27:38
◼
►
the iPhone couldn't copy and paste when he couldn't select text and copy and
[TS]
01:27:41
◼
►
paste adding that made the iPhone more complicated and I think everybody would
[TS]
01:27:50
◼
►
it was complication for the better
[TS]
01:27:53
◼
►
yes it's more complicated but better now because it's just so essential maybe
[TS]
01:27:58
◼
►
we'll come up with something for side-by-side apps that will look at the
[TS]
01:28:01
◼
►
same way and it'll work for everybody but to me I think about it as a UI
[TS]
01:28:06
◼
►
designer and I can't think of anything that really is approachable that most
[TS]
01:28:14
◼
►
people would use it to me it the only things I can think of are something
[TS]
01:28:17
◼
►
where you double tap the home button to go into the multitasking thing and then
[TS]
01:28:22
◼
►
drag drag those little window versions that you see in the multitasking somehow
[TS]
01:28:29
◼
►
dragged two of them together and they did I just thought of that too
[TS]
01:28:32
◼
►
independently so maybe we're onto something there
[TS]
01:28:35
◼
►
yeah but I when I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it's only gonna work for
[TS]
01:28:39
◼
►
apps explicitly supported because it's a new year half the screen is gonna be a
[TS]
01:28:43
◼
►
new picture in resolutions after you ran along time ago the other one that you
[TS]
01:28:47
◼
►
want on their right and it's not update it right how are they going to tell you
[TS]
01:28:51
◼
►
how are they going to suggest to you that this app is you can select it right
[TS]
01:28:57
◼
►
I don't know the other ones black and white I don't know how to count I it's
[TS]
01:29:01
◼
►
it's a complicated complex question you i mean it's kind of like how you join
[TS]
01:29:07
◼
►
phone calls that are in session
[TS]
01:29:10
◼
►
yeah either put one on hold start another one and then join the two of
[TS]
01:29:14
◼
►
those or you can put a hole in creating new on and then join them but it's it's
[TS]
01:29:20
◼
►
not that simple because that's just kind of running audio running in the
[TS]
01:29:24
◼
►
background where is this is if it takes three or four taps to get two of them
[TS]
01:29:28
◼
►
together you don't want to have it completely undone by just hitting the
[TS]
01:29:31
◼
►
home button once to do something else right if you've set this up and it's
[TS]
01:29:37
◼
►
taken three or four taps and you've got your Twitter client running next to
[TS]
01:29:40
◼
►
Safari and all I gotta check like my ideal living room
[TS]
01:29:46
◼
►
set up right quick wanna check my email because there's a thing I want to copy
[TS]
01:29:50
◼
►
and pasted from the email to put into the Safari and then you hit the home
[TS]
01:29:54
◼
►
button you don't want to have to rebuild that Twitter thing you want to be able
[TS]
01:29:57
◼
►
to somehow go back to it and I don't know what
[TS]
01:29:57
◼
►
to somehow go back to it and I don't know what
[TS]
01:30:00
◼
►
that is because the only thing you can go back to an iOS as we know it is an
[TS]
01:30:03
◼
►
act right and now the surface if I recall correctly the way that that works
[TS]
01:30:09
◼
►
is that it basically starts a third window and you can then decide where
[TS]
01:30:13
◼
►
that one third window goes if anywhere I don't have it in front of me so I B
[TS]
01:30:17
◼
►
that's a false memory but that's what it seemed like so you know I know Mark
[TS]
01:30:23
◼
►
Herrmann said they're working on it although he did not say that they're
[TS]
01:30:26
◼
►
doing it for sure seems to me like he doesn't even have that much stuff this
[TS]
01:30:30
◼
►
year in terms of what's for sure other than like the health book thing yeah so
[TS]
01:30:35
◼
►
I wouldn't be surprised I wouldn't like to bet on that I wouldn't bet on scene
[TS]
01:30:38
◼
►
next week right yeah I mean I would like it if it were elegant you know
[TS]
01:30:45
◼
►
Twitter on the iPad is the same with column that should be on the phone and
[TS]
01:30:53
◼
►
then it's taking up the rest of the screen so be really cool to have Twitter
[TS]
01:30:57
◼
►
as a side bar while I'm you know whatever using Safari or email or
[TS]
01:31:04
◼
►
anything like that but as you say that have to do it in a way that is elegant
[TS]
01:31:09
◼
►
and makes sense otherwise they're messing with their Nos
[TS]
01:31:13
◼
►
other thing that they would be messing with and government acknowledges in his
[TS]
01:31:17
◼
►
report reason I don't leave I don't know there's no word on whether it would be
[TS]
01:31:21
◼
►
for the full-size iPad air only or for the iPad Mini 2 but the thing is is just
[TS]
01:31:25
◼
►
in terms of the physical just physical size half of the iPad Mini screen is not
[TS]
01:31:31
◼
►
a lot of screen yeah but in terms of pixels at the same as an air is no I
[TS]
01:31:38
◼
►
don't know yet terms of pixels is the same but now you're talking about a lot
[TS]
01:31:41
◼
►
very small physical space and yet they the OS is exactly the same pixel for
[TS]
01:31:48
◼
►
pixel is exactly the same between the two there's nothing you can do on the
[TS]
01:31:51
◼
►
one on the air that you can't do any other discuss its bigger everything is
[TS]
01:31:55
◼
►
the pixel for pixel the same right can't help but think that if we gonna split in
[TS]
01:31:59
◼
►
it may not work out as well yeah they'll be an interesting thing to do some some
[TS]
01:32:04
◼
►
mockups of i mean and that was the most compelling thing to me about that
[TS]
01:32:08
◼
►
surface is why this is what a 12 inch touchscreen feels like this is kind
[TS]
01:32:13
◼
►
cool like I could see that was a big guy power is kinda angle by piece about this
[TS]
01:32:19
◼
►
was a can actually see a big iPad being useful like my you know my dream set up
[TS]
01:32:24
◼
►
now would be a big iPad that I don't really take places and then a big iPhone
[TS]
01:32:29
◼
►
that kind of replaces my small iPad but I don't you know now I'm just fantasy
[TS]
01:32:35
◼
►
designing
[TS]
01:32:36
◼
►
Apple hardware has lots of england plays what we doing but I'm excited for it I
[TS]
01:32:44
◼
►
mean just in terms of if it does come out I can't help but think that the only
[TS]
01:32:48
◼
►
real if it is gonna come out that they've got something really
[TS]
01:32:51
◼
►
thoughtfully designed because I don't think they're under any market pressure
[TS]
01:32:54
◼
►
to do it
[TS]
01:32:55
◼
►
know so so Microsoft has been banging the drum for this sort of not technical
[TS]
01:33:02
◼
►
multitasking not computer science 22 processes running on the same operating
[TS]
01:33:07
◼
►
system at the same time but visual multitasking two things on screen at the
[TS]
01:33:13
◼
►
same time
[TS]
01:33:14
◼
►
Twitter and YouTube video or you know your email and web browser on our own
[TS]
01:33:21
◼
►
time no room for my work a web browser and accelerate something like that so I
[TS]
01:33:25
◼
►
could get data in in spreadsheet at the same time it certainly hasn't Microsoft
[TS]
01:33:31
◼
►
having gotten to it first two years ago I guess a year and a half ago hasn't
[TS]
01:33:36
◼
►
really help them make a dent put a dent in the tablet market so it's not like
[TS]
01:33:39
◼
►
Apple's under under market pressure to do so in the same way that they seem to
[TS]
01:33:45
◼
►
be under market pressure to come out with a bigger iPhone right and you know
[TS]
01:33:51
◼
►
that there are people who are buying other brand phones because they want a
[TS]
01:33:55
◼
►
bigger phone you know how big of that market
[TS]
01:33:59
◼
►
you know how many people there are you can argue about but you in arguable that
[TS]
01:34:03
◼
►
it's a number worth caring about totally
[TS]
01:34:07
◼
►
whereas I don't see that for this multitasking on tablets to me they're
[TS]
01:34:12
◼
►
not gonna do it unless they have something clever so I'm excited because
[TS]
01:34:15
◼
►
of these show it I feel like we're going to see some pretty pretty interesting
[TS]
01:34:19
◼
►
yeah I hope so
[TS]
01:34:21
◼
►
in one of things I was thinking about 10 is in as you mentioned
[TS]
01:34:25
◼
►
speakers such as not cut any traction with with tablets or phones I wonder if
[TS]
01:34:34
◼
►
they should make a laptop or is that too competitive with all their partners I
[TS]
01:34:40
◼
►
don't know how it is to me they've already broken the seal I think they
[TS]
01:34:43
◼
►
kinda have but see here's the thing I think though and this is what I took
[TS]
01:34:47
◼
►
away from the coverage last week and your piece in particular is that to me
[TS]
01:34:52
◼
►
it seems like what they were saying last weeks of men is that they think this is
[TS]
01:34:57
◼
►
the future of the laptop right a tablet that attack you know you know the screen
[TS]
01:35:03
◼
►
part is a tablet and the keyboard part 2 detaches yeah and its cover and to me
[TS]
01:35:11
◼
►
that's why they kept bringing up the MacBook Air and MacBook Air not the iPad
[TS]
01:35:16
◼
►
that they weren't talking about iPads really they were talking about the
[TS]
01:35:18
◼
►
MacBook Air that they're saying if you wanted to work this is the form factor
[TS]
01:35:23
◼
►
you know and like the way I put it is that they're saying this tablet form
[TS]
01:35:27
◼
►
factor isn't just for iOS type devices media so simple well in not just media
[TS]
01:35:33
◼
►
stuff but simplified one thing at a time
[TS]
01:35:36
◼
►
a simple system that anybody can kind of get the gist of you know you you tap a
[TS]
01:35:41
◼
►
nap you're in the apt to tap home to go back to your apps and that they're
[TS]
01:35:46
◼
►
saying this form factor is useful for more complicated systems like Windows or
[TS]
01:35:52
◼
►
you know in theory now Microsoft is insane but in theory that there there
[TS]
01:35:55
◼
►
there by implication there saying that Apple is wrong not to be doing a Mac OS
[TS]
01:36:03
◼
►
device in this form factor
[TS]
01:36:04
◼
►
yeah and that this is your next laptop it's this tablet right that Apple apples
[TS]
01:36:10
◼
►
stance is that the form factors are tied to the complexities of the systems that
[TS]
01:36:17
◼
►
tablet form factor is meant for the simple iOS
[TS]
01:36:21
◼
►
interface and that the more complicated MacBook form factor with the task to
[TS]
01:36:27
◼
►
keyboard and trackpad and this layer of abstraction between the trackpad in the
[TS]
01:36:32
◼
►
pointer on screen is inherently suited to the more complex OS Mac OS yeah and
[TS]
01:36:38
◼
►
Microsoft to saying that to me is what I took away from is they're saying no this
[TS]
01:36:43
◼
►
form factor is the future of portable computing for any level of complexity
[TS]
01:36:47
◼
►
the app and then the trick the trouble I have it that was that the minute they
[TS]
01:36:52
◼
►
got into anything rather complicated immediately the stylus came out and
[TS]
01:36:57
◼
►
keyboard so is that better you know than a just as a keyboard that's not a touch
[TS]
01:37:04
◼
►
screen I suppose for some applications it is like you know you link to the
[TS]
01:37:09
◼
►
people drawing on and that kind of stuff I don't you know I don't know if that's
[TS]
01:37:15
◼
►
better than a than a purpose-designed drawing tablet like one of the Wacom
[TS]
01:37:21
◼
►
Wacom whatever they're called a lot of what I i've always thought about with
[TS]
01:37:26
◼
►
that and the Wacom and forget who else and then you know apparently that the
[TS]
01:37:30
◼
►
surface is really good for this is Gabe the Penny Arcade guy who's the artist
[TS]
01:37:34
◼
►
who's been using one for a while he has you know had that got the surface pro 3
[TS]
01:37:39
◼
►
roadway and says it's really good for precision driving in a way that the iPad
[TS]
01:37:45
◼
►
screens are not precise like that but there's nothing that stops apple from
[TS]
01:37:50
◼
►
eventually making an iPad that has a screen that that that is that precise
[TS]
01:37:55
◼
►
and right I don't think they'll ever ship with a stylus but they could make
[TS]
01:37:59
◼
►
one that you could get a third-party stylist that would have professional
[TS]
01:38:03
◼
►
level precision yeah I actually bought a Kickstarter stylist that was the most
[TS]
01:38:10
◼
►
precise like iPads obscene so far very small tip and it's it's alright but I
[TS]
01:38:17
◼
►
just don't really have any use for us yet I never use it but is that the other
[TS]
01:38:22
◼
►
one the pics are people members
[TS]
01:38:28
◼
►
yeah so that's why I don't know I'm not sold on that I'm not sold and I'm sure
[TS]
01:38:35
◼
►
there my guess is that this will be the most successful tablet PC ever made
[TS]
01:38:42
◼
►
because that's basically saying that more than 20 people will buy it but I
[TS]
01:38:48
◼
►
you know when I think about writing a lot or you know building a document in a
[TS]
01:38:56
◼
►
spreadsheet program or doing graphic manipulation I'm still much happier with
[TS]
01:39:03
◼
►
a keyboard and a real trackpad then then what they're shipping that's not to say
[TS]
01:39:10
◼
►
that they can't keep improving it but it just like that that keyboard still feels
[TS]
01:39:15
◼
►
like a cheapo ad on keyboard relative to the real rigid bottom half of of a good
[TS]
01:39:24
◼
►
laptop let me know me just over here and cut off all the people who are probably
[TS]
01:39:28

already halfway through emailing me syntech si ti Q is it's a line of
[TS]
01:39:36
◼
►
touchscreen tablets from Wacom oh so that's that's that's that's what I was
[TS]
01:39:43
◼

thinking of but that's why you thought Wacom Wacom line of touchscreen tablets
[TS]
01:39:48
◼

do you think they would do that Apple would do a touchscreen Mac OS device
[TS]
01:39:54
◼
►
whether it's a marriage book yeah I really think now I think we're we're
[TS]
01:40:01
◼
►
more likely to see a laptop iOS devices then touch screen Mac interesting I just
[TS]
01:40:09
◼
►
you know what though will I don't think that they'll announce a hardware next
[TS]
01:40:14
◼

week but that's something to keep an eye on when they show us Mac OS 10.2 10 is
[TS]
01:40:19

look at what the chips well no look at how big the screen elements are on

01:40:24

screen is based in such a way that they look like they're amenable to big fat

fingers interesting ya go as we know it is totally

01:40:35

totally horrible forefingers like just the simplest thing like the red yellow

green buttons in their windows for closing not going to happen

weather so close to each other you do nothing and iOS is never that close to

01:41:09

with the space around and the wifi in that kind of stuff none of that would

really be right and combine it with the File menu like the the top window in

Safari on my Mac right now that the close button is right under the File
