 It's the the musilex, the luminex, the mucinex, there, the French word you see nicks You say it. Yeah, if you say something in English as if you have a stuff, he knows it sounds sort of French Let's go with that. Yes. Absolutely. I said in English. I wasn't trying to say that all never mind I'm ready to do the show Are you? Yes, especially since a couple of people sent me The more you know clips so the more you know and this one has Bill Cosby. Thank you bio cow. Oh boy Political minefield here we go Podcasts about technology in your daily lives from people who like to put pants on frogs and one guy with a trust Where they looking beard the Daily Tech news show with Tom Merritt is brought to you by You and I at Daily Tech news show comm slash donate This is the Daily Tech news for Tuesday September 15th, 2015 I'm Tom Merritt joining me today Because it is Tuesday and they have French Tuesdays. Patrick Beja is here. Hello Patrick. Hey Tom How's it going your is trustee-looking? You know, I was going through a bunch of old photos I'm referring to the intro there. Not just, you know, yes, right now. I get it now. Thank you And and I saw a few photos from that fateful meeting we had at New Media Expo all together In 2008 and you weren't wearing the beard then it was you looked so much I was gonna say younger, but that sounds bad. So I'm gonna say Less trust worthy sounds bad as well different. Yeah, you look different. Look awful. Yeah Naked naked face Who wants that? Yeah, anything to not have to get up and shave every day anymore. That's my motto. Absolutely Well folks, we're gonna talk about AI today in relation to virtual assistants like Cortana and Siri and such There's some interesting developments there that Patrick and I are gonna kick around But we're gonna start with the headlines and there's breaking news that Patrick's gonna bring you I'm breaking the news because Tom was too lazy to rearrange the way that the news were ordered And the breaking news is that CNBC reports mark Zuckerberg told in a Q&A session Tuesday That Facebook is working on a dislike button and is very close to shipping a test of it Zuckerberg said the new feature will allow people to express empathy with their Facebook friends. So, yeah, this thanks for the transparency I didn't want to have to reorder our our headlines, but this this happened I don't know 30 minutes before the show started and it sounds like from what he's saying that they aren't gonna have a Dislike button because they don't want people to use it to harass somebody and say I just dislike you What they want to do and what they've said they want to do for a long time is come up with a way to express Empathy so if someone says, you know having a horrible day, you could hit like a frowny face for instance I'm not saying that's how they're gonna implement it, but that's sort of the idea They say it's really complex, but they're getting close to figuring it out It's really interesting how complicated this this is because obviously when someone says, you know Oh just got divorced. You're like, yes, I want to do something like, you know, I'm don't care why enough to actually Put write a comment. It's I'm not gonna lose, you know, 15 seconds out of my day But I can click a button and like doesn't feel appropriate for someone who just you know got a divorce So and how do you do it? It's weird It seems like something that should be easy like how complex can it be but exactly, you know figure out yourself like how do you express? sympathy With you know with one word with one click. Yeah remote. I think I expect an emojis situation and dislike is indeed a little bit different and as you were saying it's very easy to then make every post a Barrage of dislikes. Yeah Snapchat has released an update that lets users pay to replay old snaps now You still get one free replay a day But now you can choose to pay 99 cents if you want three replays Snapchat also released a new set of seven Lenses that let you give yourself things like creepy large eyes or rainbow tongue basically just kind of fun little filter things Isn't snapchat that thing that where the snaps disappear forever, right? But you can replay one and then and then it still disappears forever But if you're like got distracted, it's good to be able to replay Three of them if you're extra distracted per day Yeah, it doesn't seem it seems like a fair price to me It's a it's a nap that's free in that a lot of people get a lot of views out of a one-time fee of 99 cents Doesn't seem excessive. I'm not I have no clue how many people will pay for this could be tons Could be nobody but seems like the kind of thing that snapchat would look at and say hey We're coming trying to come up with interesting monetization strategies Seems like more people would like to have a few more replays. Let's see if we can get them to fork over some cash for it Yeah, I'm fairly sure that you know more people than zero are gonna pay for it So it's gonna be making money for a snapchat The next web reports Tim Cook told BuzzFeed Apple could let users you've pre-installed iOS apps in the future Cook said some apps are tied into the US but added I recognized that some people want to do this and it's something we're looking at the entire interview with Tim Cook can be found on the BuzzFeed article 20 minutes with team cook very appropriately named Thanks to her mouth for the subreddit post. Yeah, so I get where certain apps maybe weather Maps certainly the browser Phone are very much tied into the operating system and you wouldn't want people to be able to remove them but Tips Just let me turn this. Let me hide them. Just let me let me make the icons disappear from the home screen if nothing else I mean, I would like to save a little storage if I could get rid of them as well, but Doesn't seem like it should be that hard, huh? I'm sure it's not hard But I think it's it's it's it always surprises me how much people hate the fact that you know I just put them in their own little Folder and I call it apple crap and just I don't use the ones I don't use And and but people get really angry about this. They're like, oh, but I want to remove them And I guess if it's an option then you can bring us is simplicity and design and if you have a tips app That you can't get rid of elegantly it ruins the simplicity and design of your experience That's debatable. I think depending on how you run them If you remove them and they can never come back I think it might be a problem for some of the very basic users who you know might do it Mistakenly but if you can bring them back in the settings that there there's a way to do it. It's just a choice Tech crunch passes along the Wall Street Journal report that Facebook has agreed to work with the German Justice Ministry to prevent Xenophobic and racist messages from being posted Facebook also says it's striving to partner with NGO FSM to combat hate speech Facebook is also setting up its own task force inviting local community organizations to cooperate Facebook favors an approach involving counter speech where you just try to outpost anything that is sort of Xenophobic or or hateful, but they're not against removing it if it violates local laws it's a really difficult problem and I know that European countries and France and Germany especially have been faith, you know have bigger challenges there than probably the US do because of the way we approach free speech especially xenophobic and anti-semitic discourse, but it's It's a really difficult problem Who is responsible for handling those because obviously the governments are saying well, this is Illegal so it should be removed, but then who decides what's legal and what's not do you involve the judge? Do you not do you automate the thing and then who sees it once it's hidden? You know that Twitter for example can hide Some elements in the country where it's illegal, but then in the other countries it will still appear and it's a Just like the dislike button. It's a lot more complex than you initially think but I think what Facebook's doing here is saying look It's always been the government would like us to move faster on these sorts of things Then we have so let's try to figure out a better way of approaching it That makes everybody happier because it is especially with the immigration crisis in Europe. It's becoming more of an acute problem Yeah, it's all we talk about here in the past few weeks. It's been very prominent. So Star Fury Zeta posted on the subreddit that open source certificate authority Let's Encrypt has issued its first certificate to beta testers If the test goes well, the certificate will be available for everyone sometime around November 16th 2015 let's Encrypt was founded by the EFF Mozilla University of Michigan In an effort to make HTTPS implementation easier. Yeah It's a nice signpost along the road to encrypting all the things so make it encrypts all the things Qualcomm unveiled new details about its upcoming Snapdragon 820 system on a chip according to engadget the 820 will support the 600 megabit per second LTE advanced standard with upload speeds up to 150 megabits per second and it will come with 802 11 AD Wi-Fi supporting speeds up to 7 gigabits per second snapdragon 820 also comes with Qualcomm's new quick charge 3.0 technology which can charge batteries from 0 to 80 percent in 35 minutes Snapdragon 820 is expected to arrive next year. Although the snapdragon 617 will come out by the end of the year and also supports that quick charge feature as Do the 430 618 and 620 models of snapdragon? You know what's gonna happen with Apple, right? They're gonna come out with in a couple of years with a feature and they're gonna call it Zoom charge and they're gonna charge They're gonna be like this is amazing fast charge 25 minutes. Yeah Facebook announced that its mobile website can receive push notifications in Chrome using Google's mobile web alert standard the this obtained I'm sorry this opt-in Feature is seen as necessary for data-limited users who use the mobile web more than apps Google's notification standard is used by opera and China's UC browser and will come to Firefox 42 in November Yeah, this is something, you know I sometimes a material leader for web apps over standalone apps and I believe there's a place for both There's certain things that that what that standalone apps can do better. That's why software exists But I think we are undervaluing the cross-platform Compatibility that the web is supposed to stand for one of the things that has been an issue though is doing notifications and alerting people Things in your app has been difficult on the web So I'm very happy to see that this alert standard is getting some momentum getting some take-up And that somebody like Facebook in in mostly in developing places where people don't use apps because of data charges Is finding it necessary to adopt it which will push it even farther into the mainstream Every time you go on your spiel about how the web is it's swinging between the web and apps I you did it last week and I wanted to jump into the show and go like but no Tom It's not necessarily the case. There are examples where this and that but that's swinging back with alerts for web Mmm We'll see we'll see Ricard reports nine of the world's biggest banks are partnering with financial tech company R3 to create a framework for using blockchain technology in financial markets These are big names on top of this J.P. Morgan State Street UBS Royal Bank of Scotland Credit Suisse BBVA and Commonwealth Bank of Australia have signed up so far the blockchain works as a Decentralized tamper-proof ledger of transactions obviously most famously Blockchains are used in Bitcoin. It's expected that this blockchain would be used initially in post trade For things such as issuing commercial paper Just sort of it's a kind of oversimplifying it sending a receipt if you will but it doesn't have to be public it can be private information exchange and I think this is one of the things people misunderstand about Bitcoin is there's the idea of Bitcoin becoming a currency and being accepted But then there's the whole underlying technology that makes Bitcoin work that a lot of financial industry is looking at and saying Well, we would like to do that with other currencies with the currencies we deal with every day You know the development of the blockchain Technology has been pretty staggering in the past few years. I know there are people who are trying to create a Sort of website protocol web protocol. I think at least one project is called Ethereum I think yeah, that's right. That sounds right. Yeah And and I still don't understand exactly how it works. I would love to do a show I think it's it's so important I would like to talk about it on my show, but I don't quite under, you know, my French show the only tech I don't quite understand it well enough yet So if you could please do a show where you explain everything about it first then I could you know, maybe one of these Tuesdays We should get a blockchain expert in and we can just kind of get them to explain all that stuff because I I have a very Minimal understanding I get a concept of how it works But I think it's harder for me to answer questions about it because I don't have a fundamental understanding of it Exactly. Yeah, it could be interesting Sony announced a few things at its Tokyo game show press conference today first the morphers the project Morpheus will be officially named PlayStation VR Second for new ps4 controllers will come out in Japan later this year in gold silver steel black and Crystal crystal is just transparent Plastic, but you know sounds cool and three the big news is that starting October 1st The price of the PlayStation 4 in Japan will drop from basically 40,000 yen to 35,000 yen give or take a couple of yen that's around $292 to 258 dollars so sizable chunk 250 euros Yes, oh, I'm sorry. I mean yeah euros the new price at around 300 euros or 250 euros more or less It's an interesting step. I mean the console is basically two years old Right about now. I Wouldn't expect the prices to come down in Europe quite as fast or the US basically in the West Because it's possible that they're doing this in Japan Earlier than they would have wanted to because they're not selling as much as they would have hoped in Japan and in in the West The PlayStation 4 is doing exceedingly well, so they could afford not to bring the price down And maybe they're going to wouldn't surprise me. It's not a guarantee and and to that They're not too many people are doing this, but a few people are like, why is it only for Japan's like? Well, it's the Tokyo game show people That's that's where you announce things that happened in Japan at the Tokyo game show How do you say Porsche or Porsche I? Would naturally say Porsche, but I've heard so many American TV shows or movies where people say Porsche I would be afraid that people wouldn't understand if I said Porsche. I'm gonna say Porsche then I'm gonna go with you Uh-huh. I stand with Patrick European Porsche is showing a concept car. Why it sounded suddenly so Midwestern when I said it Porsche Porsche it's like worse Porsche is showing a concept car at the Frankfurt auto show called mission E The electric sports car has 590 horsepower and acclaimed 310.7 mile range. It's a touch less horsepower But a bit more range than a Tesla Model S if you want to compare the mission E uses two permanent magnet synchronous motors Also uses an 800 volt system that can charge to 80 percent in 15 minutes What is it with everything charging to 80 percent faster today? This is kind of clear It's it's it probably has to do with complicated battery technology that can charge to 80 percent in 15 to 30 minutes Yeah, basically But I think if I if I could venture to I'm not gonna speak for Elon Musk But I would guess that when Elon Musk decided to go high-end sports car With the with his electric cars one of the things he was hoping is that he would spur High-end sports cars to try to make an electric car where they might not have otherwise because it was sort of disdain Does all electric cars are for little putt putt cars? So I feel like this is Tesla's mission being accomplished that Porsche is developing a mission E Yeah, good job, Elon and Finally sleepless in VA. Is that the right way to read? Yeah Sleepless in VA because I think VA is for Virginia. So sleepless in Virginia. Yeah So sleepless in VA sent us the daily dot report that a project loon balloon met its doom While sailing over a suburb of Los Angeles Project loon balloons are part of the Google X plans to provide accessible internet in underserved regions around the world But this one landed in Janet Oliphson's yard in Chino Hills, California medium-income $97,000 a year Google X's parent company alphabet Told KBCW that the loon was intended to land nearby. Yeah, they just missed They didn't stick the landing Good thing Chino Hills is getting that that project loon internet Those underserved mansions have been dying for a little wireless internet Sure, they they need those alerts on their mobile browser versions of Facebook too Now it's I mean There's really no significance to this story other than oh Google was like trying to land project loon somewhere and they missed You know what? It allowed me to say Project loon balloon met its doom. So I'm happy credit Jenny Josephson on the on the the poetry of our headline there and that's That's I'm gonna try to say this in reverse We get stories like that one from you you guys vote on them you submit them So keep doing that daily tech news show red dot reddit.com and that's a look at the headlines. There we go Get the new rhythm of things there. All right, so Don Riesinger Great writer writes for CNET writes for fortune writes for a bunch of people writing in fortune was talking about The fact that Apple Microsoft and Google are all competing for control of artificial intelligence Particularly we see it as a fight of personal assistance Cortana Siri Alexa Google now those are all the the products that are trying to take advantage of something called machine learning Bruce Daley principal analyst at Traktica wrote on April 23rd While artificial intelligence has been just beyond the horizon for a decades a new era is dawning systems modeled on the human brain Such as deep learning are being applied to tasks as varied as medical diagnostic systems credit scoring program trading Fraud detection product recommendations image classification speech recognition language translation and self-driving vehicles the results are starting to speak for themselves And there's a ton of news about this Apple recently planning to hire 86 full-time AI experts to beef up Siri Google if you remember back in 2014 started partnering with Oxford University's AI teams Google has a division called Deep Mind Facebook hired Professor Jan Lacoon who's a preeminent person in this field as director of its own AI research Remember we were hearing about project M Which actually combines real humans with AI to provide some kind of personal assistant Microsoft's been working on this forever Xbox one has voice recognition obviously Cortana Skype translation is another example of machine learning and Technology research from Traktica that I was just talking about estimates that deep learning for enterprise Which in 2015 is expected to be a 202.5 million dollar business will be worth eleven point one billion dollars as a market by 2024 so Patrick It's like looking at the tip of the iceberg when we're talking about personal assistance But while a lot of that machine learning is going to be used for lots of other things The most impact it's gonna have on us is in the ability for us to interact with our devices, right? I Think yeah, I think it's it's very easy to look at all of this and to think oh, you know They're need software toys They're kind of cool Then when you ask your phone for the weather it answers and that's funny and sort of discard it as a fun gadget But then you look at who's getting into this and and I don't know if you guys use that acronym of well not acronym But we say gaffa and we just said at the end so it's gaffam, which is Google Apple Facebook Amazon and Microsoft just joined the club recently But they're all all of those are like the most important tech companies in the world supposedly and all of them are interested in that field in the digital assistant and virtual and artificial intelligence so While it they are obviously trying to make something fun and more usable I think there's something more behind it, right? It's it's Supremely important for all of those because they're sinking a lot of money into it and it goes beyond just the funny The the fun toy and the fun sometimes reliable sometimes not super reliable thing and so the first thing I see is The in the you know midterm I see this becoming another another paradigm shift in Ui meaning it could replace in some cases and it's it already is replacing search And obviously we know what makes money on the web now It's content discovery con content is difficult to find and that's where Google is Has made its fortune because it was it became the interface For finding content on the web plaster some ads on that and rake it in that's what Google's been doing in ten years And and so what these digital assistants do is that they replace your interaction with your device In that you don't need to go in and type in a web browser anymore because you ask Siri or Cortana or Google now Hey, when is the movie playing that I like and so better yet Google now notices that you're near the theater and says hey I know you've been wanting to see a beautiful mind. It's playing I don't know why a beautiful I would be playing straight out of Compton straight out of Compton is playing in an hour And and so I think it's easy to think well This is just a web search that the assistant does for us But really it isn't they can connect to any service that they want and they could connect as you know Some of them do directly to I don't know IMDB for example Bypassing the web search initially it was just web search that they did mostly But they can bypass the best web search meaning that when they finally become reliable enough that you can rely on them This can completely bypass the not the entirety but a good portion of Google's business model and become a Portion of the way we search for content. So I think in that already it is super important for the industry because it It is the first thing since the arrival the dominance of Google has been established that could circumvent it Also, I think that's it raises the frightening possibility of your your voice assistant Suggesting things based on advertising Well that that you know, right like oh you're near the theater. I know you want to see The straight out of Compton, which is playing in an hour. You can go get five dollars off a sandwich at McDonald's right now So basically it's the minority report ads that talk to you except they're not in In the street they're in your phone. Yeah, no, it's it's basically again in the same way that Google's technology Allowed for new kinds of interaction and advertising and business models We don't even know where those are going to be taking us and I think it's it's Very important for all of these companies there They're you know, they're seeing it coming and they're thinking if we want to stay relevant We'd better start investing in this now because once they're actually Important in two three four or five years It will be too late for us to get on that train at that point just like it's very difficult to unseat Google now because they're you know, they're established there. They have the first mover advantage now You can take this this analysis to its extreme and I know you were you were going to talk about this It can replace not just search But it can replace a lot of UI elements if you just tell your phone what you want and and that happens, right? Obviously if you want to play a video game, you're not gonna play it with your voice There's if you're typing a document, you might want to dictate it. You might want to type it But how much of the UI do you think it can replace because personally? I don't really like to talk to my devices a lot. I prefer to be silent And I've always been waiting for that that ability to recognize your your your facial muscles So I could mouth words without having to say I'm out loud, but maybe I'm in the minority Well, I think it also has to do specifically for the dictation I think it has to do with the fact that you have to utter the text Exactly the way you wanted to see appear you want to see it appear in order for it to work But imagine that you could talk to it just like you would typist and you would go, you know, all right, so next paragraph Start with I don't know. All right Tom was coming out of his house and suddenly the dogs Left into the garden. Oh, no wait not the dogs the dog He'll only have one dog and you and that person understood that person Yeah, that that AI understands what is supposed to be text and what is it maybe at that point? It might be More usable. Well, that's a little farther down the road Orin Etzioni is a professor of computer science and executive director of the Allen Institute for artificial intelligence In Reisinger's article said real understanding of what a person says and having the kind of dialogue You might have with a hotel concierge are elusive challenges He says you won't see them on your iPhone or your Apple TV anytime soon. So we're we're at the cuss But it's it's it's a little bit of a shell game, right? How much of it is supervised learning where they did a phone tree and they said well if you hear this this and this say this and How much of it can really anticipate based on a little bit of data analysis and machine learning or some kind of unsupervised learning? Where it's where it knows enough about you that it can Suggest and that's that's what Google now is doing. That's what Cortana is doing That's what Siri is beginning to do where they they know your behaviors They know the context. They know the GPS and they can anticipate a little more It's not quite the same as having a conversation with a butler, but it does things before you ask for them Which is extremely helpful There's a privacy trade-off there though, and that's that you have to let that assistant Store a lot of data about you on a distant server because your phone isn't powerful yet enough to do all of that processing Definitely. Yeah, no, definitely. I think but I think we're still in that mid-term phase here, you know the predictive stuff the Semi-phone tree type of interaction is sort of you're right. We're on the cusp of that, but the UI Parading transformation Is where things really start to get serious because I think at that point, you know, there's there's one thing that always amuses me We used to think that everyone would know how to use a computer Right, we used to think that it was a skill that we were going to learn and that the entire world would know Exactly how to do everything will be trained to use computers, right? Yeah, and and the reality is that Us and probably the audience listening to this now is when they go back to their family or when they have a neighbor Who does who has a problem they call us and they're like, oh the mouse thing is misbehaving and You know, so people and actually people don't usually don't really even know how to use a VCR People don't know how Android devices and iOS devices work. So where I'm going with this is the fact that all of those UIs are still too complicated for regular people and the ultimate UI is going to be Disappearance the entire disappearance of the you know the graphical UI or for most tasks and just you talking to the device The way you talk to someone and then or even you not having to talk to it Because it knows enough about you to just present you with the information, right? You're not you're not walking through the airport and saying Siri tell me where my gate is you're walking through the airport and then suddenly in your you know Subdermal Audio chip it says your gate is 82 because it knows you're close enough and you don't have to say a thing No, yeah, exactly. And that's where it becomes I see Ken from Chicago is Saying in the chat room people do know how to use computers for limited tasks. That's exactly my point I think The the they don't know how to operate the machine how it functions right and and for most tasks You actually do need to know that I realized my mom was trying to use her phone and even with her phone She doesn't actually you know know everything and the the the ultimate Point of these Devices is that anyone can use them easily and so whether they anticipate your Your needs or in the information you're gonna need or whether you have to talk to them This is a next step in computer interaction because what is a UI actually? You know it's user interface and the user interface could be really anything It doesn't have to be a mouse and a keyboard or your finger or a screen It could be anything yeah, and and and so no matter Where we go with all of this it will have to do with artificial intelligence and those Virtual assistants so again down the line. It's much further down the line But down the line it is the logical Conclusion of the efforts that all of these huge tech companies are undertaking now So I think they're looking at that and thinking again. We have to start now if we want to yeah We need to have our platform if we're not going to get left behind absolutely All right, let us know what you think about this sort of thing feedback at daily tech new show comm or pick of the day Comes from bill high-tech bill Analyst patron. Thank you bill says my pick of the day is Leapol Paris plum luggage LIP a ULT because they are lightweight 28 inch bags 7.5 pounds. This is great when I'll be gone for a week and need both professional and casual clothes I like a luggage pick My personal pick and I mentioned this yesterday when we had Kevin Purdy on the show is the Briggs and Riley Suitcase, it's not the one single pick from wire cutter But it was one that they said look if you're traveling internationally you need the 26 inch not the 28 inch sometimes You might want to look at that So I'm gonna throw in a pick and say look at the Leapol Paris plum that bill says maybe look at the Briggs and Riley as Well, I don't know if Patrick. I didn't prepare Patrick with a luggage pick well actually I do have a luggage pick it just so happens that I purchased a few weeks ago a few months ago a Herschel What is it Herschel design Herschel something?

That's the one yeah Herschel supply cool brand Excellent look. I who knew you would get so much luggage Advice on a tech show the day after getting toilet scrubber advice on a tech show We try to broaden our our offerings Send your picks to us folks feedback at daily tech news show calm You can find my picks at daily tech news show comm slash picks one message for today Jeff from Knoxville, Tennessee said on yesterday's show You and Veronica were questioning why Google is offering 34 minutes of high-speed Wi-Fi in India rather than 30 or 35 Or some other more Orthodox number if I know Google and I think I do the limit is probably really 34 minutes and eight seconds or 2048 seconds of high-speed internet Wouldn't be surprised Jeff that's that's interesting because I can't think of any other reason why it makes complete sense And you know what I think that from now on even if it's not the reason I think it is the reason Yeah, that's now become the reason there you go Well, thank you everyone. Thank you Jeff. Thank you Patrick Twitter comm slash not Patrick No T P A T R I C K and of course French spin comm for all of Patrick's English language podcasts of which there are a few and they are awesome Oh, thank you so much. Yeah, I do a few shows. I do a show about gaming. I do a show about international love I dare say because we talk and we talk in a very caring and Friendly manner and we express on love feel alias. Yes Exactly exactly but yeah, and also I Recently read if I went through my personal blog at Patrick Beja comm and I found a few articles one of them was something I wrote it was called true love and it was I wrote it just a few days before my wedding and I just published it for some reason. I hadn't published it and it made a few people happy and I found the blog post which is the most informational piece of text I have ever written called the real secrets of the French kiss Which teaches you how to not the you know, slobbery, you know tongue kiss But how to greet people in France and you know, you have to do that the French kiss got it. Yes, exactly. It's a funny title But yeah, so go to the blog Patrick Beja comm and search for kiss There's a little search field and you'll get everything you need to do to greet people the proper way depending It's actually super complicated if it's a if it's you know, if it's a guide you kiss them If you're not in Paris, is it the same as if you are in Paris? So there you know, who knew you would get such a wealth of different kinds of advice Well, I don't know who knew but if you go read that article you will know. Yeah, the more you know Daily tech news show comm slash support if you want to keep this ball rolling Thanks to all of our bosses our analysts our co-executive producers And the folks who just chip in five cents a show You are all amazing and you've changed our lives and made it possible for us to share our passion with you So if you can become one of their number, they will welcome you daily tech news show comm slash support There's also a new item in the store daily tech news show comm slash store because I'm always saying that my wife works at YouTube So it's disclosed Someone said I need a t-shirt that says my wife works at YouTube.

These are the talky stage And by talking I mean making noises She's podcasting She sees you doing it. She's like, oh, this is what we do da-bla-bla-bla-blah I just sounded like a Neutron from Hearthstone Oh Man you're making Hearthstone references now. Look at this. I don't play Hearthstone. That's crazy Have you played Heroes of the what's the one? Heroes of the storm? Yeah. Nope. I've never played a single blizzard game Have you played Heroes of the storm Tom? Yeah, I've not in a while Wasn't very good at it It's not my kind of game. It does have a high frustration factor initially Chris, I guess I just know what I like I love those almost open world and full open world games and I'm content with that In a way but like that I don't have to play with other people because we play those games to like go away from the World and not to join it in a different way so it's just you know Like right now we're playing the Witcher or Witcher 3 And That's good because you could just it's not quite full open world like it's definitely still driving new places. Yeah but But I enjoy it Yeah, that's why that was the last game I played with Skyrim It was funny. I really enjoyed that game and I tried to pick it up again. It's like I can't get into it Yeah Skyrim. Yeah Yeah, that's a thing certain what you're done And then it's just wandering around doing variations of things and I didn't want to do the DLC just yet. So You know life Life don't talk to me about life. I'm just wait. I'm just warming up for fallout I'm wearing I'm getting used to wearing things on my wrist So my pit boy right Wendy is your pit boy come I don't know. I'm so excited. Oh Mass Effect Ken from Chicago. Yes, I played the Mass Effect 3 I played no two Three I three I got stuck No, I got stuck at that beginning Rolling there was some weird thing like really near the beginning where you had to execute like a tuck-and-roll around a corner And I must have done it a hundred times and I just couldn't do it and I gave up and that was it for Mass Effect 3. I Finished it just because I want to see how the story ended. I was very very disappointed in Bioware Yeah, I Gleaned that that was the general sentiment. Well, it got so bad that they just came out with a special download to give you What other option the third option? Which is kind of like a cop out whatever The whole story was better initially in the first and the second one that the way it resolved itself I'm hoping Mass Effect 4 goes back to Slightly more and this is what I call the trilogy effect like you saw it in the Matrix, right? Yeah, the second one was not as great But it was good because he's trying to explain stuff and all that mystery and magic He was like what and the third one really just like okay. This is the dumbest thing ever Yeah, it's a bunch of hippies at a rave under the earth Yeah, see and isn't it in plays in three act plays the first act is good The second act drags and the third act brings it all back And that and basically they're failing on the third act. Yeah Brothers didn't plan on making two more than someone dangle a giant pile of cash like oh your first movie did so well Wait, there was another director that that happened to like they made three and they hadn't planned really to make But then I realized there was a giant pile of cash. Yeah Yeah Did you guys see the Creed the second Creed trailer that came out today, I'm pretty excited about that As in Rocky oh Didn't see that. Yeah, it's pretty solid I thought you meant the band and I thought the guy like yeah Yeah, I was like I was think I knew that she didn't mean the band, but that's all that was in my head was like Apollo Creed's son right grandson. Yeah. Yeah Yeah, I'm pretty excited about coming out in November as long as they keep up with the original Rocky formula and not like go No, they're going it looks like from the second trailer. It's crime Rocky Formula they're gonna do a sequel to Mary Poppins What I just read this morning. They're doing a seat.
