 Hiding in the basement hiding in the basement hiding in the basement. Yeah, you got it Hi, you got it We are inherently musical we are covered today and serate professionals of Tech analysis and music and outbursts. Yeah, it doesn't mean we're not human. Well, Patrick's human Anyway, I'm French, you know, it's close enough. It's close to human French. It's close to human So I have a problem. Oh, what's the problem before we get started? My CPU is currently running at 76 degrees centigrade. I discovered today that it's basically idle I discovered today that I had an issue with overheating. Uh-huh. It will be it's been going on for a while So it's not get an ice bath. I Probably should I've I'm gonna fix it, you know in the next couple next couple of days, but it's been going on for for months So maybe my CPU is gonna explode it shouldn't you know, it's okay, right and we though But if we see a fireball, you know, we know what happened I don't know if you'll see it the moment the CPU explodes. I don't think you're gonna I'll reconnect through the other computer Now you tell me All right, here's let's figures crossed there we go This is your captain speaking I'd like to take a moment to remind you that this show is brought to you by listeners like you who give value for value To show your support go to daily tech news show comm slash support We know you have a choice when it comes to getting your tech news and on behalf of the crew I thank you for choosing the Daily Tech News show This is the Daily Tech News for Tuesday, September 1st 2015 I'm Tom Merritt joining me today as he does most Tuesdays or should I say? Mach the that's not even close to that not bad. Really? Okay. Thank you very charitable DT desk contributor independent podcaster. Mr. Patrick Beja. How are you? I am not excellent and I will tell her why I will tell you why right now It's not related to the issue of potential CPU explosion that I told you just before the show It's related to my dog-like idiocy basically yesterday, I met a Swiss person who very kindly Gifted me with a box of chocolate and today. I proceeded to eating half the box of chocolate in about one sitting and It was very delicious chocolate To that story is the fact that I am intolerant to chocolate so I'm now very I have a very sore Belly and I'm soldering on though, you know, I'm not okay soldiering on good. I So so folks who are listening we are hoping to talk about Original content and whether with Apple now possibly the game every tech company needs to do it or not That will be our main topic should Patrick and or his computer survive To the end of the show stay tuned and find out. So it's great for ratings Patrick. Thanks for taking that hit for us. I try All right, let's let's try to get through some headlines Google has changed its logo This is apparently the top story of the day according to the Verge the new design uses a sans-serif type face Similar to the one used in the alphabet logo the colors are softer, but in the same Arrangement Google also changed its lowercase g logo the fave icon that shows up in browser tabs to a four-color Uppercase g the new logo is being rolled out across all Google products today. Thanks to her myth for posting this on the subreddit You know, so there's a lot that could be said about sure logo change And and I think a lot of prominent tech blogs have done so the one thing that irks me though Is that final e or that e? You know, it's ever so slightly crooked and it annoys me I want to reach out through the computer and just put it back like straight It it's very annoying. That's just the the typeface that they were using before I'm trying to look at the new one, but of course when you go to Google now It erases the old logo and writes the new one slowly So it's taking forever for me to actually see the e that you're talking about. Oh, yeah Yeah, yeah, it is it is It was crooked in the old one as well. So maybe it's just I don't know why it bothers me. It's an e that is tilted up looking towards our horizon in the future and Hopefully, you know, it's it's full of hope and dreams. Exactly. Obviously if it was looking down, it would be it's so depressing So good job right out of that Obviously not good job Google I could say that with another tone. Good job Google. All right moving on varieties and true Well-enseen report sources say Apple has had Preliminary conversations with several Hollywood executives about producing original video content for Apple Apple will supposedly start hiring for production and development for an operation to start next year It is unclear and possibly undecided if Apple would create a studio or instead hire production companies like Netflix does So like I said, we're gonna launch off of this for our main topic But specifically for the idea of of Apple nosing around Hollywood This strikes me a little bit like the rumors around their investigation into cars in those rumors They've already started hiring people But we have the same sort of well It sounds like and the sources say they're looking into self-driving cars and autonomous cars and car systems But will they ever come out with a product and we've talked about they might do all kinds of research spend a lot of time and decide It's not for them. This could be the same thing. I mean, but remember Andrew Wallenstein Responsibly says they're having preliminary conversations about the idea that could be them just nosing around saying okay What would it take? How much would it be? Let me put down some numbers great. We're gonna go crunch that they might never do it Yeah, for sure It does seem a little bit less outlandish though that Apple who is already in the content business to some degree Would do that especially would be rumors about the revamped Apple TV. So Scratcher they have original videos that they do with musicians. They have original albums that they've put out on itunes They've even done they've even acquired some independent films to put into itunes At certain film festivals. So it's not it's not way far away. I mean beats one itself is a big 24-hour original radio station. What if they did a 24-hour original Apple TV station? Chaser 83 posted this topic on the subreddit and I feel some responsibility for making it occur four days after I bought a nest thermostat Nest has introduced a new nest thermostat The third generation nest is thinner at 1.21 inches versus 1.26 inches It's larger and has a higher screen resolution 480 by 480 or 229 pixels per inch a new feature called Farsight lights up the controller right when you walk into a room You don't have to walk all the way up to the thermostat anymore and can display the temperature or time You can tell it which one Furnace heads up is a new feature that tracks shutoff patterns and can alert you to possible problems with your furnace That feature is actually coming to the older nest thermostats later this year The new nest thermostat is available now for two hundred forty nine dollars Patrick. I Was you know amused when you said a few days ago that you had purchased a nest thermostat and that you it would probably mean the renewal of the product and I thought you know, oh everyone thinks that when they buy it. Yeah, I I stand corrected Tom What would you like me to buy next to make sure a new version comes out shortly thereafter? Just let me know feed back a daily Excellent service provided to you for your charge by Tom Merrick Crunch reports Instagram has added the ability to reply with photos in its Instagram direct private group messaging feature You can also start a conversation with just text 85 million of Instagram's 300 million users use the direct messaging feature. I didn't realize that many people used it It's kind of hard to get to you have to take a picture and choose to share it Like you normally would post on Instagram, but then choose direct Instead of what you would normally do, but I guess a lot of people are using it And it's very much in the vein of a snapchat. What's up? You know, they're trying to have that kind of feature in there So the ability to reply with images I mean if anybody's use Slack that has Jiffy integrated You know how conversations can take place entirely with images and that's that's a thing these days So people people want to be able to do that. Yeah, take place and get derailed by images So someone sends a funny picture and then you take a picture yourself laughing and then yeah That could be fun. It's surprising that you couldn't already reply with pictures on Instagram Which is exclusively and you couldn't start a thread with text You had to start it with an image and then that was the last image. It was very basic Mm-hmm CNET reports several tech companies including Cisco Microsoft Google Intel Mozilla Amazon and Netflix are joined together at an unholy alliance to create the Alliance for open media There's nothing holy or unholy is it the unholy Alliance for open. I wish it were I Kind of I'm gonna lobby for that. I mean it is open source Maybe I can just add that to a to a commit one day The purpose of the group is to create a new video compression technology by 2017 To make better use of network streaming in other words video that downloads faster and looks better if you need it and play in English One aim is also to avoid patent confusion. There's a lot of patent confusion around licensing HEVC or h.265 the current most popular video codec the new alliance tends to make their codec open source and royalty free So this is a little bit I don't know it wouldn't be to replace h.265 with it because h.265 is already in the pipeline It's getting used more and more it would be to replace it It would be just for for people who are having trouble because there's three different patent licensing Organizations around h.265 there's mpeg LA which was supposed to be the only one you were gonna deal with But then a couple more cropped up because of various issues what these companies and man when you get Mozilla Google and Microsoft all on the same side when Netflix You're gonna make something happen and the idea is like we will make something that nobody has to worry about the patents Nobody has to worry about the royalties. It is open source and everybody could use it Yeah, that would be a dream for sure obviously Apple is missing from that. Yes, and that's the other big player They have famously brought forth the use of h.264 a few years ago I'm just wondering if if h.265 is already kind of taking its place on the media landscape now Are they going to be able to replace it by you know, 2000 2017 or 18 or will they need to wait for the next, you know, generation of codex Normally, I would say that that is probably very difficult But when you have this much firepower together, I could see a world where they if they can come together That's the hardest part is coming together on an agreement if they can come together on an agreement with a workable codec They could make it available for everybody with the wave of a wand It's just like every Android device every Cisco streaming at Netflix supports it But the holdout being Apple if Apple's not in on it and Apple doesn't support it then we get into this Compression war sort of format war again Because the issue would be that you can't decode it through hardware on Apple devices Then making it not as interesting, but I guess, you know those companies Google and Netflix and Amazon alone Could make it interesting enough for their own service and then default to h.265 if they need to yeah other Devices do use system. Yeah possibly still better than you know 15 use system that like we've had in the past in some instances Android police reports the GoPro app gets an update today that will allow creation of 515 or 30 second clips Without transferring video off the camera. You can then share the clips directly to Facebook YouTube and Instagram Okay, I Know I have a GoPro But I'm not I'm not the kind of person who's so excited about this that I can't wait to get the video off to do clips But I know those people exist. So yeah, I shouldn't I shouldn't be so flippant. This is this is really cool Yeah, I think five seconds is a little bit too short to show up to show off anything that you've done on a GoPro But 30 seconds, you know 15 or 30 seconds could definitely see some use It's not you know, it's always good to to remove an extra step in getting things to the consumer. So yeah Wired has a detailed report on next bit which launched a Kickstarter Tuesday for their new phone called Robin It's two hundred ninety nine dollars if you pre-order it. It's three hundred ninety nine dollars if you don't Here let's run through the specs quick 5.2 inch 1080p screen snapdragon 807 usb-c super fast charging 13 megapixel camera Okay, the real difference is their storage plan now They're not the first to do a cloud storage plan with a phone But they have an interesting twist you get 32 gigabytes on board 100 gigabytes in the cloud And it is an Android phone But next bit says they have an implementation that syncs your data to the cloud as long as your phone's plugged in and on Wi-Fi and then only stores your most used programs and data on the phone So they say you never run out of space if you need to get a program or or a photo say that is no longer stored on The phone it will go in the cloud and it will get it and it will just constantly try to prioritize based on your usage patterns So this is super interesting. I think the immediate Thought that people are going to go to is well I have a 64 gigabytes phone and I don't have enough space for for that and a lot of that is probably going to be Is going to be data and even apps that you don't really use I think it would be staggering to people if they discovered how many apps they're storing just in case and Actually use every six months. So if it's done well, I could see it kind of working I'm also wondering if it isn't a little bit too convoluted to make a mark in an already very crowded Android market So maybe an issue says at least initially Yeah, and it's got a nice design and the wired story talks about all the effort that went into the design But even the designers Admit that you really can't do much to differentiate based on looks so they're trying to do something of functionality I'll be honest something that actually prioritizes the apps even just on the home screen Based on my usage. I would find Handy so I'm gonna keep an eye on this. It sounds intriguing. They just launched the Kickstarter today. They're almost funded So it's probably going to come out. I'll keep keep keep thinking about it. Keep looking at it Wikipedia Wikipedia has been 381 accounts for running an extortion racket reports the verge Investing investigation orange moody found people targeting accounts who had change requests that were declined and Offering to publish the changes for a fee After publishing the changes, they would demand additional payments for as much as $30 a month to prevent articles from being changed or vandalized To prevent I should add the quotes here Articles from being changed or vandalized it would be it would be really bad if something nice article here So the investigation was initiated by the check user team a group of trusted Wikipedia users who protect the site against the fugitive behavior Wow, well good for them for for ferreting this out and It to me is a really interesting and in some ways kind of a positive reflection on Wikipedia That it is successful enough to attract scammers If you know what I mean like it's not I'm not saying it's good that scammers exist But this means that Wikipedia has relied upon enough that you know You need to defend yourself against bad information in a new and interesting way. Does that make any sense? Yeah, it does definitely does I mean is Wikipedia is established now and that's you know a Fertile ground for things to happen. It's even more interesting that they actually have teams and Structures to handle these kinds of things. I guess they have to if they want to stay relevant, but it's it's very Encouraging to see that they are you know as a Completely free and open company Still managing to find counters to these kinds of issues that arise that I don't think many other people have encountered or at least not Many other companies not in this form. Yeah. Yeah, so anyway, every time I hear something like that. I'm I'm proud that I'm Giving money to Wikipedia. It's a wonderful resource and I'm happy they can keep doing it Samsung announced a new product called up day at EFA on Tuesday the joint project with Axel Springer will aggregate news Snippets from around the web as well as show summaries of the most important topics of the day written by a dedicated Editorial team company will pay copyright fees from the snippets. It runs from non Axel Springer news outlets The service will be available exclusively on Samsung products in beta on Thursday to launch fully next year So this is Axel Springer saying We are good for copyright and we are partnering with people who pay for things. Yeah, and it's Samsung saying Oh, so Apple's doing their own newsy thing. We're gonna do our own newsy thing, too And I think it's HTC already has a similar service. Yeah, it's it could be interesting I mean, I still think we don't have with our abundance and abundance of links and social media Buzziness and virality. I don't think we have a good solution for One way of finding out the important things that have happened in this day Except for you know, if you're interested in tech in which case you listen to the daily tech news show obviously obviously But for general news in a trusted manner, I know there are a few apps I think circa is one of them. There's a Yahoo news which Unfortunately, but yeah, right a few weeks ago actually yeah, yeah Yahoo news does something similar, but I don't think there's quite it. They've quite cracked it I'm not sure this is what update is going to be but certainly there's space to innovate there and certainly it's encouraging to see that Companies like Axel Springer are looking into these kinds of digital initiatives and not just Slowly dying away. I am very skeptical that this is going to work though The fact that it is only on a Samsung product it kills it in in its sleep for me Like yeah, I guess if I'm a Samsung user, I might like it But now I can't use it on my other phone and my friend I can't reckon to my friends because they don't have Samsung phones and I can't use it on my desktop Can I I don't know maybe I can it just it seems way too limited And we need services that are cross-platform if this sort of thing is gonna succeed in my opinion. I Would agree. I mean Samsung is trying to beef up their offerings and differentiating themselves from other Android phones It's not completely impossible that they would offer this app for other. No, they wouldn't all right Well, it's it will still be good for Samsung users, which is something, you know Samsung would be willing to pay for that sure and Gadget reports us users can buy 61 Nintendo titles for 3ds and we you through a digital download store on Amazon Purchasers will see a Nintendo Network link to click which will redeem content code and send the game to your device So I guess you have to log into your Nintendo Network account to do it, right? It seems otherwise pretty seamless. I could just buy on Amazon and it appears on my Wii U or my 3ds What you know, it's kind of an interesting thing because In theory you can just do that directly on your game console Why exactly would you need to be on Amazon to do it? But it's still you know, it managed it gives Nintendo a larger presence on more Outlets on the web. I could imagine maybe this could happen for other Console manufacturers. There's no reason why Sony or Microsoft wouldn't want to do it. Sony has a very large lead in this generation's Sales for the PlayStation 4 Microsoft has been selling less than Sony a lot more than we use though, but that's not very difficult But maybe that could be a way to expand visibility either way It's interesting to see Nintendo, which is a very conservative company in everything. They do explore this kind of different type of You know content deal so and apparently no no bad blood between Amazon and Nintendo as some might have suspected Yeah, they they have had a few run-ins in the past But Reuters reports LinkedIn rolled out a revamped messaging service Tuesday Oh, it's everybody now Instagram now LinkedIn The service from LinkedIn looks less like email than it used to it threads conversations like chat apps do it allows you to use Gifts and stickers users can also attach photos and documents LinkedIn says it is looking at offering voice and video calling even in the future So I don't know You know, I think LinkedIn has been trying for I would say 12 to 18 months now to Expand what they do and and be more inclusive to to get to become more than just a giant phone book of people's professional contacts I'm not sure when you think LinkedIn you think chat messaging with gifts of dancing cats It doesn't seem very LinkedIn to me But I wouldn't want to work anywhere that wouldn't hire me after I sent them a jiff of a dancing cat You know, I think you might an exception in the wonderful world of corporate America and the globe It's it's sort of it's a it's a corollary to I would never be a member of a club that would have me I would never work anywhere that wouldn't like dancing cats Hey, we get a lot of our news from you folks You heard me mention a couple thanks to people for posting stories in our subreddit So get over there and help them out either submit some links or the easy part you can say like yes I totally participate in the subreddit just by going to vote and look at submitted links to go Yes, I'd like that that's interesting vote them up vote them down dailytechnewshow.reddit.com Apple is moving into original programming Microsoft is moving sort of out of the original program Remember that last jump the summer they close their Xbox entertainment studios although they still have a few original programming efforts Sony obviously owns crackle, but on the PlayStation 4 side They have the show powers so they're dabbling Google owns YouTube They just hired MTV programming chief Suzanne Daniels to be involved in their YouTube originals program Snapchat has been partnering with channels who have been making originals in their stories section Amazon obviously with Prime instant video Facebook just now started to encouraging video But folks like the young Turks have been doing original video on Facebook so you could see down the road where they might want to Do this there's Hulu there's vessel Is there a reason for Apple to get into this like Google owns YouTube? So they kind of already were doing something similar Microsoft has decided you know what we're we're a software and services company I think we're gonna back off on creating original entertainment. Would it be a mistake for Apple to do that? I Think if they end up doing it, it's definitely to push some kind of an asset of a Plus for the Apple TV they I think what we've seen in the past year or so is that the real commodity the real Gold in a lot of services now is content and For the music industry. It's kind of they're trying to get control back of Those their property a control that they had somewhat relinquished to Apple to an extent and Arguably to Spotify and other music services in the case of Video content they had learned from the lessons of the music industry and they're holding on to those rights a lot more strongly a lot more exclusively so it is very difficult for services and and Manufacturers to offer something that is compelling. We've just seen a few days ago that Netflix has lost the deal. They had with the epics was it it's an American Yeah, I mean they chose to not pursue it as according to them as well And they basically are saying we only want exclusive deals which they have with Disney So they're not hurting for movies But yeah, I know what you mean like it is a changing landscape because they're focusing on in their originals Exactly, and I think a lot of companies are starting to realize that maybe what you do need to make your content or your service attractive is Quality original programming basically the HBO model of old But do you need that for every service like I get that for Netflix right Netflix was like saying we Can't continue to rely on other companies to provide us their old content because it's just going to keep getting more expensive We have to come up with a way since they won't work with us more to create content that people want to come that we control That just makes sense if you're Apple It kind of makes sense in one way it kind of doesn't and like you said if I want to sell Apple TV as a really great device And we heard the rumors it might be a hundred ninety nine dollars or two hundred fifty dollars Then I got to provide something and Apple music has done that they've said if you want to subscribe to Apple music You'll not just get Apple music You're also going to get beats one and it's an amazing thing right so there could be something there and the idea of Apple doing a 24-hour channel with original programming. I think is intriguing I think that could be different Programming than house of cards or HBO game of Thrones type programming and then it might make more sense to me But Apple sort of getting into bank rolling high quality episodic dramas I Don't know that that really makes sense Because they either restrict it to Apple products Which then makes a lot of people angry because they don't use Apple products or they don't restrict it to Apple products And then they're just competing with Netflix and it's a whole new business for them There it seems to me that there is some piece missing here You're right. It wouldn't make sense to integrate the you know Apple original programming on what we know as the Apple TV today or you know any of the their devices they have They provide the devices and then anyone else can go and create an app and deliver their content themselves So why would Apple also have something there? It could make sense Potentially that the thing that's coming to my mind now is Maybe if you start going after the court cutters or the court killers because you know you're going to try and Get as much of the content as you can that people would usually get over their Regular cable subscription, but you also know that you are probably not going to be getting everything Right, you're there are things there obviously spending years trying to get something together and they can't get anything So you're right. I mean if they get something going it probably won't be comprehensive Exactly. So how do you solve that problem? Well? Probably you follow what Netflix has been doing very brilliantly is create super high quality Programs that people are actually going to want and on them by themselves. They're maybe not enough for you to sell out the money for subscription, but if you have this and Maybe most of what you would want out of your cable or regular over the RTV It might become worth it. So I'm thinking There might be maybe that's it. Maybe that's something else. Maybe you know, but there you're right There is a piece of the equation missing. I and maybe that's why Apple's having preliminary discussions Maybe they're not sure what the equation should be yet and then and as I mentioned during headlines They're just gathering Intel because the other side of this remember is Apple is not necessarily known as having a good track record delivering cloud services and Streaming video is a cloud service. I know they're beefing up their data centers, etc. But as many Issues have as have had happened with HBO go in the past with WWE live in the past and Apple's not Apparently going to hire major league baseball advanced media or bam or whatever it's about to become I think that could be risky. That could be risky on its own Even if they figure out the reason for doing it that is compelling for people I I do think though just just to underline this before we we drop this discussion It really is interesting that cord cutting has ended up not being How can I get my shows from the traditional cable companies on the internet cord cutting is now becoming How do I balance the shows that I can only get on the internet with the shows that I want to get from the traditional Broadcasters, they're starting to pull the more of these these services that come along if apple does this They're starting to pull people away from cable because they can't get these shows You can't get amazon prime shows on cable. You can't get hulu originals on cable You can't get netflix originals on cable and I think I think that Is the more interesting side of this that it looks like we are pulling people away from cable at this point not Riding the tide of mostly young people who just don't subscribe at all There's there's definitely a change in the way we look at things We we mentioned this a couple of times in the past We used to think that we would have the spotify model for tv And that every you know, we would get one subscription We get everything we're happy and things are cheaper Turns out that's really not the way it's it's working out You have a zillion different providers a zillion different content producers And you need to subscribe to all of them if you want to get everything So yeah, it's it's definitely the rise of the internet Companies in a way that is different from what's been happening in music. It's not You know the intermediaries that are simplifying everything and delivering you your content for you on the internet It's one step further. It's the people who are creating the content selling it to you directly And in the case, you know for the the the issue of the structurally soundness That's not a structural soundness. Yeah, but there you know the solidity of apple's Infrastructure, I would say, you know in the past two years. We've seen we've made great strides in those Uh content delivery networks really um, and I think apple would be able to do that now because it's it's been Worked out by a lot of other people and we know how to do it, but you know, yeah I mean they've definitely taught them how to do audio So it is a much bigger and more complex thing to do video But maybe you're right just enlarge the tube use bigger. I just use a bigger tube. It's that easy Our pick of the day comes from quarantine our boss from currently gray, but also kind of sunny paris Who wanted to let us know about a website or service for podcast eddix called huff duffer, which lets you Create an rss feed from audio and video files you find when you're surfing the web So you have a bookmarklet in your browser that you click and that will add things to a feed Which you can then access in any podcasting app quarenton says I use it for downloadable shows that lack a proper podcast feed I just entered the title the audiophile url and a description and i'm ready to go You can also subscribe to other people's feed just as easily or just explore content that is huff duffed By the community you can check it out at huff duffer.com But so do you need to For those shows that don't have a proper rss feed. Do you need to add everyone? To as they come out. Do you need to create that yourself? It sounds like it? Hmm, which but maybe the music does it? Yeah, maybe maybe that's the thing you find a huff duffer who reliably adds those shows and then maybe you can subscribe to it that way It's it's an intriguing looking service. So thanks for mentioning it. And you know, it was good to have another peresian represented on the show I wonder if I know him. I wonder if we cross paths every day without knowing. Yeah, you probably meet at the baguette shop Yes, that's that's where I go every day. So that's what I was thinking about Sorry for enough. Yeah, send your picks to feedback at daily tech news show dot com You can find my picks at daily tech news show dot com slash picks got a few messages here Of course, we got a bunch about our discussion about watches on yesterday's show sam in parched origan Said what he likes about his pebble the most is physical buttons I use the buttons to control podcasts timers and music without having to touch my phone without having to even look at the watch Which is great when I'm driving working This is the use that wasn't obvious when I bought the phone or bought it the pebble But that has been the most useful to me a remote for my phone that I can use without looking at the phone Or even the watch And bram breastwood and I were talking about this he points out you can use this When you're in a when you're swimming because it's water resistant So as long as you're not deep diving with it you can actually use it to do swimming apps Which you can't do with a touchscreen only watch And then scott aka cdn dude 74 Thinks he's finally cracked the smart watch problem Because the industry's been looking at it the wrong way around patrick. He says we should have dumb screens That have large batteries and no sensors in our pocket And you could use that as a charger for your watch. Perhaps it's used as a storage device You could have your full music collection on the dumb screen and be able to copy and move a couple of dozen songs to your wrist But your watch would have all the functionality So First of all the buttons. Can't you use your headsets buttons? Usually they have those but maybe not for a swimming app. Maybe I don't know. Yeah, that's a good point But yeah, so no headsets required Hmm So I'm not sure exactly how scott's suggestion would go you have the dumb phone But it still has to has to have a cpu and you know the The bluetooth antenna at least to beam stuff to your Watch and then your watch needs to have all the sensors the Cell uh capability, you know and the It's a battery problem, right? It's how it would make sense if you had a long enough life battery But then I I suspect you would need to charge your watch every two hours with your dumb screen Battery phone. Yeah, I'm not sure it would work out If we get very tiny infinite life batteries, then what do you think? Then I think everyone would use watches and also cars would not pollute the environment And also all kinds of other probably we would probably figure out, you know, uh teleportation Even we wouldn't we would leave our bodies behind at that point, right? Uh, then harish wrote I wanted to chime in on the google adding support for android wear with ios devices I think this is also a big move on google's part to get people to use google now more I've used a moto 360 in the past and noticed that many of the cards on the watch were actually google now cards And I think the google now cards are pulled directly from google and don't depend on the phone os for the functioning So android wear could essentially become a great advertisement for google now The timing is also interesting as it's just before an apple event Where siri is likely to get some enhanced functionality and we know from w w d c that some of that functionality is proactive alerts Getting android wear on ios is possibly a great way to circumvent that and get people to use google now more I'm not sure how well google now would work on an android wear watch on ios Uh, it should work fine because the because because you have that new app for android wear And it will be tied into your google account. So as long as you're using enough google products overall It will make google now appear More prominently than it would normally on an ios phone where you have to have google's app running and then swipe up So basically The watch is google now on all the time and it just uses the phone for your Connection for the data And so it circumvents the limits that that apple imposes on apps on the phone. That's that's really clever I don't know how compelling it is for apple users to all of a sudden start using the Google wear when they're using an iphone But you know i've had the apple watch since it came out and i've stopped using it You know basically what feels like three years ago. So maybe yeah, if the watch would be useful That's a negative amount of years Yeah, that's how useless. I felt it was. Yeah, I Know Yeah, oh you did.

I have to say I would never have imagined it to be that cool when I was younger Really? Yeah, I was Roger in front of his daughter It's just it not like uh I don't know I my my conception of marriage is like that's that's like your final step When you're like totally in with someone so it wasn't like oh, it's I don't know some people have a weird View of marriage is kind of like a lifelong sentence, which it can be if you married the wrong person Yeah, well, that's the thing, right? Yeah, it makes all the difference. I feel the same as Patrick because I married the right person Exactly. Yeah, it was and I had that You know, well, maybe not that image for everyone but at least like the the idea that It would be good in some ways and super annoying in other ways And you know people keep some people keep telling me well, you know, you've been together for one year You've been together two years and you'll see when things settle down and blah blah blah now It's been six years and we're still Yeah, they're still I went through a lot of relationships before I found the right one It takes it takes some some time and some patience Uh, and I wasn't ever really interested in getting married until then either I know what you're saying. It's uh, I basically it's when I gave up that I found Same one exactly the same. Yep. You got off the carousel of dating. Yep. All right. This is it Well, we don't really date that much in France actually we We're either together No, but it's like if you start going out with someone you're together It's not like oh, I'm just seeing that person and then we're exclusive and then we blah blah blah It's just if you go out you're together I went with a lot of people but I didn't really Date like I didn't like you know repeatedly say you see the same person for the course of a year You're like once is enough.
