 If you're watching live and you'd like to join the chat head to IRC dot chat realm net. Hi, I'm Tom Merritt. Welcome to our live broadcast Hey, so I was just we were just talking before I went live about things that make you feel old And here's one that makes me feel old I was interviewing someone on sword and laser with Veronica and the person we were interviewing She knows who she is said yeah So when I was I think high school my memory says junior high, but it was probably high school She's like, you know, so I'd use Wikipedia to look up things from my papers, and I'm like What? Huh? Wikipedia when you're oh wait not in that world book. Yeah, right? Childcraft edition We had the child craft annuals and the child craft and the world book We did not have the encyclopedia Britannica now couldn't afford those. No, that was too pricey Could use those at school if I wanted but you know, it's interesting every play every in high school and junior high We were limited to only one or two encyclopedia encyclopedic References everything else had to be oh Man, I remember papers. I would just copy the first paragraph You can only use one. Oh, I learned to paraphrase Was there what's a our term papers like you can only use one encyclopedia reference. It's okay I And then I just like it was easy because I picked the subject like whales because I was really big into whales for some reason And big in your eye. They were big. I think it's because they were huge right the large animals like dinosaurs And so there were no there were no shortage of books but when I when I had one of my urban studies are Urban studies class I had to research like particular aspects of city development and there are absolutely no books within like the past 30 years at the But any library kept like because there are journals But they were usually sold to architects or planning commissions or whatever But never no libraries happen. So you get the reliant encyclopedias are so annoying All right, well, let's get the show out of the way so we can start complaining about reference sources again I Sounds like I'm being a jerk, but I actually was like I'm tempted to be like yeah another thing All right, ready to go I Just looked up value for value in the dictionary And there's a picture of me because I went to daily tech news show dot com slash support and gave a nickel a day There's all kinds of ways for you to show the love and daily tech news show dot com slash support I can't guarantee what picture though use for you. When was I in France? This is the daily tech news for Wednesday, June 8th 2016. I'm Tom Mary joining me today Lamar Wilson Cuz Scott Johnson is gonna be on the show Friday cuz Darren kitchen still recovering from a strip to Australia Thank you Lamar Wilson for stepping in on Wednesday. It's awesome to have you back. I am so glad it's been years Tom Years, I don't I mean I think you're on like last month, man It's days Tom. It's been days Month Seriously, it's good to see you. We're gonna talk some old man talk about how to drive safely No, there's some way. There's some studies about you know, it's still it's not safe to drive a car and talk even hands-free And yet we know it's okay. All of you are doing it anyway So we're gonna talk about the research and why it's a bad idea and why we all insist on doing it anyway Mark Zuckerberg's holding a Q&A on Facebook live June 14th big news hitting the the wires right now But let's talk about some actual other news in the top stories Apple's Phil Shiller sat down with select publications to detail upcoming changes to Apple's app store starting this autumn All apps will be allowed to sell subscriptions It was restricted to certain categories before now everybody can sell subscriptions including subscriptions that cover multiple apps If you've got a suite you can say, oh, you know pay $15 a year and you get access to all my apps That starts June 3rd. I'm sorry that starts in the autumn starting June 13th Apple's cut of subscriptions will drop to 15% from 30% after the first year so Apple still takes 30% for a year But if the subscriber stays subscribed Apple drops it to 15% Starting in beta next Monday Apple will sell developer ads in search results pages in the app stores One ad per page of results and the ad is basically just very similar to an app listing only developers can buy them So you're not gonna see Viagra or anything like that unless Viagra has an app which they might Installed apps will no longer show in charts and featured pages So if you've installed an app and you're looking for stuff You won't keep seeing things you've already installed and the categories tab is coming back Really interesting Lamar all of these announcements But also that Phil Schiller told the the Verge and others these things ahead of WWDC, which is coming up Monday Yeah, I found that interesting. They're kind of breaking their their protocol here So I had a question and I know the answer to a couple but just for the audience So when they say subscriptions there, we're looking at things like HBO now possibly Netflix That's things like that. That's what we have now, but I guess what they're saying we you could do is say hey You want to play this game? It's five dollars a year or even like a productivity suite, you know like office 365 Microsoft could sell those subscriptions in the app store Yeah, any app basically any app you could say instead of selling it for 99 cents You're just renting it on an ongoing basis. I think I think the game one is in most interesting I don't try to see how they would do a subscription for that. What would that start replacing some of the the Pay to pull it pay to win type type of games that are out there. It could or yeah that's that's a really interesting model for games and Yeah, you know, I use it in language courses where I I pay I get a free app And then I pay a subscription to get access to you know, multiple courses Memrise Does that so it it is interesting? This also comes on the heels of Jeff Bezos saying he doesn't want to give the Android or give the Amazon video app to IOS on Apple TV because of the cut I Wonder if this I don't think this is enough to change his mind because he's still gonna have to give up 30% of subscriptions for the first Year, right So I don't think it's ever gonna come to that Google's platform versions page shows that Android Marshmallow has now reached 10.1% of adoption That's double digits eight months after release It was the fastest-growing version of Android 2 increasing 2.6 percentage points since May Marshmallow is now the third most popular Android distribution behind lollipop and Kit Kat this is one of those stats Lamar where people are going to use it to make their case Whether they think Android is too fragmented or not fragmented You know is that because I was about to jump in here and say why don't more people? Why is it only 10%? You know, I was gonna be that guy Like what why is adoption so slow and you know, there's various reasons for that some people just don't update their phones Yeah, they're comfortable what they have and they just don't do it and some manufacturers take a long time Remember Android worldwide is 90 plus percent of the market So there are loads of manufacturers out there just not bothering to add even lollipop Much less marshmallow. So that's part of it. I am spoiled, right? I have a nexus nine So I'm used to like as soon as marshmallow was out I had the notification like you can you can put it on right now and it was easy But it isn't as easy for a lot of other people Yep, so they should they should all just switch to okay. I won't say that They should all switch to a boon-two phones. I was I took I know that's what I'm gonna say That was exactly it The US FAA warned pilots that experiments at the Naval Air Weapon Center in the Mojave Desert could affect planes GPS in the area the notice to airmen or no tam only the only Furnace testing pretty descriptive no other details. I mean it's a military test What do you expect the test began June 7th and affects a wider area the higher it gets they particularly I guess maybe this plane is more susceptible to the interference they particularly warned Embraer phenom 300 business jets to avoid the area on the six dates of testing coming up in June between the hours of 9 30 a.m. And 3 p.m. If you look at the map that's on this engadget story the area Gets wider as it goes up like I said at 40,000 feet the affected area stretches from the California, Oregon border South to Mexico East into Utah and then a big amount way out over the Pacific Ocean yeah, I did some extensive research on this before the show started and You know after looking all the algorithms and looking at the the longitude latitude I've just determined that you know the answer is aliens. Yeah, they've they've they've got a crash ship Well, or they're preventing aliens from landing potentially. Yeah. Yeah, I'm there. There's something else going on there I I am that person as well. Yeah, I Alien it's obvious that they're doing some kind of GPS blocking like okay If we're in a battlefield and we want to jam the other side's GPS. How do we do that? I guess they're Imagining an enemy building the sky with ember feet on three hundreds or something But it's a little bit crazy to think that These planes at 40,000 feet. That's a that's like half not half That's like a third of the United States. That's covered. They can they can block out. Yeah, that's really crazy. Yeah I you know what I should have Emailed Henry or Joe or one of the pilots in the audience I'm but I'm sure they'll they'll weigh in on this. How do you fly? Through this, I know that you don't really like it's entirely on GPS to get from one point to another There's obviously all kinds of things with air traffic control and towers, etc But I guess I bought it. It's yeah, you think that's all You have a sextant. You're just like There you go. Yeah Jalopnik noticed that dozens of US Lexus owners were complaining on Twitter about constant reboots blank screens and The now starting to get famous purple flashes on their Lexus in-dash entertainment systems It seems like models 2014 and newer seem to have the issues They affect the navigation system the sound system and temperature control at least that's what people are reporting Lexus is investigating they think it might be caused by satellite communications and Advising they're advising the owners to head to the dealer where they'll just reset the GPS and that seems to fix it for the time being Aliens It's probably aliens right Back to back by coincidence. I when I saw you did that I said see where Tom is going with this He secretly believes what I believe the purple flash That'll like communications. They seem like we get further Advanced and we have more more problems that they come up with these cars that I long for the dumb car again It's like the dumb TV's are starting to come back It at all seriousness like it is disturbing that there could be an over the air to update to your car That would just bring down navigation. Yes, absolutely, you know and and as we have more This is where the people who are like told you driverless cars is gonna be dangerous like yeah You got to make sure that you don't do this sort of thing when the cars driving is involved That's gonna have to be a different update system have to be better tested Because you don't want to do that still leave it to Lexus to have a royal purple screen of death blue just is a good Slack is opening up voice call functionality to all users. Are you are you one of the slack devotees Lamar? I have never used this app We're gonna we're gonna take care of this So yeah, I haven't used it. I don't know why you got to join you got to join the slack cult man Where the aliens communicate? Slack is opening a voice call functionality users So a telephone icon will show up in the desktop client or if you're on mobile It'll be one of the drop-down menu items. You could touch it Communicate by voice with anyone in your slack if you're on one of the paying user plans You can do group calls for anybody on your team It it is eat go ahead go ahead and make fun of slack users like me for be like whoo now We can have voice calls. I mean you said it so I don't have to Cuz like I'm pretty sure my phone can kind of do that already but yeah Yeah, and and it what it is for is like I'm having a conversation with somebody on slack And I realized that you know talking about this in real time would be better So instead of saying hey, can I call you reaching over picking up the phone launch in Skype? Whatever, I'll be able to just touch a button. So it is a nice function. It is I get it People are going a little crazy over the fact like oh my gosh, I gave a call some slack That's how they say I think that you I think you're very defensive about this app. No, I'm not Hold on let me ask my buddies in slack if they think I'm being too defensive Developers at 10 digi created a homemade iPhone case that lets you run Android on an iPhone This may be my favorite story of the day Nick Lee Started out by testing this with a Nexus 5. So he took a Nexus 5 connected it by cable to the iPhone To see if he could develop tools that would transmit the Android devices screen to the iPhone So you you had an app running on the iPhone that was essentially like like a your vnc The Android and then send the touch input from the iPhone back to the Android device Lee then took it a step further because honestly we're like, okay, so I guess you're vnc and Android That's a neat trick. He created an Android development board Installed Android the the open version of Android on it 3d printed an enclosure to house it in that was in the shape of an iPhone case So that he could put the iPhone in the case launch the app on the iPhone and be running Android on an iPhone Okay, so I'm looking at the I'm looking at the screen now for it for the video viewers So the Android phone is underneath that No, the Android phone is in the case. I mean, it's not really it's not really an Android phone I guess it's just a it's just a development board, but it's in that little red case Okay So that is interesting. Yeah, and you can see where it's connected to the lightning port at the bottom That's how it's getting its actions back and forth these are the folks these are the same design studio that put Windows 95 on an Apple watch by the way and What is the purpose just to say they can do it? The purpose is for Tindigie to be able to say hey, we're those cool people who put a Windows 95 on an Apple watch And created that I it is definitely not a practical situation. It is a oh look at this crazy thing I did I'm running Android, but I'm on an iPhone I'm not really running Android on an iPhone, but it kind of looks like I am and it's smooth. Yeah Yeah, it's Yeah, so it's not something you're gonna sell or anything. It's just I don't think so I wish they were though they he might he might have I don't recall now whether he had made The the plans open source because you could just 3d print it Okay, I gotta get a 3d printer my audience keeps telling me to get one. Yeah, you could 3d print I'll borrow yours. I knew you have my two or three at there. You could instead of out of the boxes You could do out of the printers Yeah, they'll kill my unboxing business and create it and create a new thing though Well, you could just watch the printer print it slowly over six hours with YouTube red now You want to have longer videos? Yeah, you don't have that watch time going. Yeah, totally I'm finally a design patent from Magic Leap shows a helmet with slits to view the real world That doesn't look too far different from the VR headsets We have now are kind of similar to the Microsoft Holo lens has a helmet like covering for the back of your head Then a strap that goes from the back to the front of your head where it attaches to a shield like mask over the eyes Some people say it looks like Luke Skywalker's training helmet the patent describes quote projecting images to a wave guide through micro projectors for augmented or virtual reality and Providing variable depth planes through arrays of reflectors First of all, I thought this said leapfrog when I first read it I laughed really hard and I realized it's not a children's You know that yeah, yeah, yeah, but we Right because I don't remember what Magic Leap did before I have they sound familiar though They they haven't done anything yet. That's they sound because for years They've been about to come out with this augmented reality headset Grant this is a patent design You should never look at patent designs and think you have any insight into what the project product is going to actually look like but This is the only look Without an nda that we have seen at anything even remotely similar to Magic Leap hardware And everybody involved in Magic Leap not just the investors But the journalists who've been allowed to to see some of the technology All go crazy about how great they think it is Oh All right. Well, at least they've drawn something That they put something on paper That's a that's good for getting millions and millions of dollars from investors So here's the disappointing thing though when I first heard of Magic Leap they talked about projecting The augmented reality onto my eyes and I thought well, this is going to be great Like I won't have to wear any kind of headset It'll just be like a little pair of glasses or something really unobtrusive This makes it look like wow. Okay. I'm definitely going to be wearing a full-on headset Yeah, you know, we're going to walk around with it Yeah, would you walk around with that on and like just to look at the world now? Tom, you know me very well, you know, I would I mean I would just just for the laughs just for the views on youtube when I right Okay, so you're the wrong person to ask Exactly Or or the right person to ask because that is the answer I want to run with my oculus. It's not even turned on. I just walk around with it with it on my head I crashed a lot, but um, yeah, I just you know, I think I'll put mine on too Well, I'm at it. Just yeah for the rest. So you got George right there Put that yeah, that's yeah, that's convenient, right? You got the whole show just like that Tom Merer ladies and gentlemen, thank you. Tom Merer That was not worth the visual aid Thanks to everybody who submitted things we used from our subreddit Get in there and vote daily tech news show dot reddit and dot com Let us know what you want us to talk about it. Definitely helps us put together our lineup every day Big thanks to everybody who votes and the people who submit like they made that and cosmo harley and another j martin Abatuella condolce steve iot m204 skyboard 13 and more Get into the subreddit daily tech news show dot reddit dot com and that is a look at the top stories I'm getting old A study from the University of Sussex has found that hands-free conversations caused drivers to react just less than a second longer than drivers not participating in a conversation the study tested 20 males and 40 females Uh, they divided them into groups not not by gender just divided them into groups Uh doing simulated driving situations one group just did the driving The other group was conversing with a male voice from a loudspeaker three feet away To simulate the idea that you're talking to someone but you can't see them They're not seeing the same thing that you are they're not in the car with you Now previous studies have found that phone conversations in particular are more distracting than conversations with a passenger Or listening to the radio So I went back and looked because I remember even in the buzz out loud days We were talking about this myth busters did this as an episode in august 2015 They found that of 15 drivers that were talking hands-free One passed a driver's test and eight of them crashed. It was in a simulation. So nobody was hurt Uh triple a study with the university of utah in june 2013 was meant to measure cognitive distraction This wasn't measuring your performance while driving. They were measuring how distracting things are They found that cell phone use was about as distracting as a passenger in the car with you less distracting than speech to text Where some where you're trying to compose like a text message while talking but definitely more distracting than the radio Uh 2009 review of literature in the journal of safety research found that talking on the phone has a negative impact on performance Especially in detecting and identifying events didn't matter whether it was hands-free or not A 2006 study from the university of utah of 41 adults found that drunk drivers performed better Than people talking on the phone even hands-free That result has been repeated by other people and a 2003 or a 2013 study in turo university Found them to be at least equal So you could say that talking hands-free on a phone is like driving drunk and the research would bear you out Lamar We all still do it All the pushes were for hands-free usage as a phone because everybody wants to still be able to talk on their phone in the car Yeah, um, I mean, I know I I use it, but it's it's interesting because It when when we use it or you see other people using it I I can see where the distraction comes from because I don't know about you, but I know I'm like yelling in this picture or Like directing my face to to it as if I yeah, I need to get closer and talk to it and that is clearly not Not keeping me 100 focused Oh, I'm where I'm supposed to be so I mean I I don't disagree with this I don't know what the solution is for because You know our people I mean remember when when they said no texting I still I have been in a passenger And cars where people will pull out their phone and start doing this one and I'm like, excuse me Yeah But put that away and darn near had a crash because they they thought they were okay with doing that So if we still live on the line stop that yeah, we we still we see still we still see people doing that I don't know what the answer to this is I know before the show we were talking about, you know, well, you know driverless cars Um, yeah for our generation. I think I think we'll be okay with it But we were joking with roger with the younger generation even tolerate that because they want to have the power in their hands of Independence and driving their own car and doing what they want to do. Yeah, and maybe I'll go the other way Maybe they'll be they'll grow up with driverless cars. And so they'll just be like, oh, yeah That's the way you'd be stupid to drive yourself on the highway taking control of a cars for recreational use only I like maybe that's what it'll end up. Yeah Uh, but yeah, maybe and maybe that's the only solution here is driverless cars because I mean, there's a study from the national safety council that shows that brain activity for moving images decreases by a third when listening to someone talking on the phone, uh, and this is one of their Uh, examples from the study asking, where did you leave the blue file? The driver then concentrates on an area four times smaller than normal. This is that Sussex study that just came out Imagining the room where they left the file instead of checking for hazards in front of them So You may say like, well, wait a minute. Why is it okay? You I get that radio isn't as distracting because you can tune that out But what about the passenger next to you? Yeah, they are as distracting in some of these studies as a cell phone conversation But the passenger wants to live because they're in the car with you So they they have a vested interest in not distracting you when it looks like the driver needs to pay attention Person on a cell phone can't see any of that stuff Exactly. So it you know when I when I hear others it just again, I started thinking about what What can we do? What's the answer? But I saw one quote in an article They really brought it home and it says How important is any phone conversation that lives are lost? Now, I mean that that's that's something we just keep needing to be in our heads because If we're being realistic, no one stares at the street while they're driving The whole time, right? I mean, we're we're we're either looking at the navigation or we're You know again, we're talking with someone over you picking up our drink there there's we're going to be distracted, but If there's a study coming up saying that this is a serious problem, are we willing to wait For our conversations, you know before we take the chance of telling someone Yeah, I mean and that's the problem. We're really bad at risk assessment, right? It doesn't happen to us We we have like three phone calls while we're driving and we're like, hey, I didn't have any recs I'm fine. So I must be better at this than all those people in the studies And the fact is no you it's it's not like Having a phone conversation is immediately going to lead to a crash. It just increases your risk So the way I try to think about it is what are the behaviors that are increasing my risks? How do I minimize those? Not having a phone conversation in the car is definitely one of them now. Here's the thing I got to take I'm going to be 100 honest I have to take my dog to the vet at 3 45 this afternoon. I have a phone call with a publisher at 4 30 I will probably still be in the car at 4 30 And so I'm going to have to face that question of do I have them on the phone while I'm finishing the ride? Like that's just it's an uncomfortable truth because we all spend so much time in our cars Yeah, I mean and listen you think about like on a serious note You think about mothers who have their or fathers who have their kids and in the back talk about a distraction You know if they start hollering some go you see I've seen them driving that they'll turn around and like talk I mean that is seriously. I mean uh dangerous, but Like at what point do we I mean what what can be done? I just I think the driverless Or we all just start using uber I like I don't I don't because people are going to be people. I mean the devil's advocate there I want them to stop but people won't even stop texting I think you know, so what what I would say to folks is I don't know that the hands-free laws have done much these studies show that Well, if you're talking hands-free, you're probably not any safer So we've made it the law that you have to be hands-free But that that doesn't seem to have changed anything and there there's mixed results on whether there are more or fewer traffic accidents But the one stat that I could find for the national safety council is 26 of crashes involve cell phone use Uh, and it's been getting higher significant. Yeah So you make the decision don't don't rely on the law Make the decision yourself. Should you be doing this? You know, is it worth adding another risk because you have a risk already in you know, the person on the side Flipping the sign and and the guy who's about to cut you off There's so many distractions that are already there that you can't avoid Maybe you have kids in the back and you've got to take them to school. You cannot do that So why add another distraction on top of that? Good point and uh, did we sound old enough there? I don't know. I think you should have got a more uh, a little crotcheteer Yeah, so just don't drive stay off the roads. Just leave it to not Lamar Get off my lawn. We're the only one stop driving on my lawn While you're on your phone Which will be the result exactly Yeah, exactly. Uh, so anyway, yeah, let let us know. I mean We know, okay. So Lamar, we know The like people are like, well, let's make it the law that you shouldn't use your phone in the car at all I don't think anybody's gonna go for that. Uh, but that's one response. Uh, the other is, uh, you as a person should just commit to yourself I'm not gonna do this. That's one response. Is there anything else? Are we missing? Give us an email Yeah, I definitely want to want to hear more suggestions Even if I'm not sure I would love to, you know, hear them the next day because it's it's uh, I don't have any other solution Any ideas? Feedback at dailytechnewshow.com Our pick of the day comes from our own Jenny Josephson Uh, uh, she writes in with a simple and free piece of transcription software for short web videos that recently saved her bacon She says while it doesn't transcribe the speech to text for you It does make it really easy to take a video transcript and put it in the correct format for facebook and other videos For mac and windows. It's called Agisub Uh, I don't know if it's agisub or agisub, but it's a e g i s u b Dot org. It's a free cross platform open source tool for creating and modifying subtitles So like she said, you've got to have the transcript But once you do you can use this to sync it up with the right points in the video Oh, that is actually really cool. That's kind of like my alley, even though I don't do Trans I mean transcription. I like google do it, which is horrible. Yeah But um, yeah, this is really cool windows os 10 and unix versions. Uh, go check it out. A e g i s u b Dot org. Thank you. Jenny. Hey folks send your picks to us as well feedback at daily tech news show dot com You can find more picks at daily tech news show dot com slash picks Lots of messages, uh, we talked yesterday about bendable and foldable screens Jeff and mica from dallas both agreed that they had a different reason for wanting these than patrick and I mentioned Jeff says I was so excited when I saw the title of yesterday's episode because I've been yearning for the flexible phone But I hadn't even considered the use cases you guys discussed. My own interest is much more simple. No more cracked screens So, yeah, hey, yeah That's a good one. That's never cracked. I've never cracked my screen ever though. Oh man. Really? You just said that out loud Yeah, so I want those people don't have to worry about it. I could just do whatever with my phone because I It doesn't crack right and then paul in redding, pennsylvania said the way I see a flexible screen Using a phone hands-free where the phone is more of an arm brace that covers the forearm like wonder woman style So that it can be portable But when you need a tablet device you can take it off roll it out on a flat surface One of the benefits for this form factor is sensors could be added to the back to measure your blood pressure oxygen level and temperature I'm all for that I actually kind of I hadn't thought of this one paul blew my mind. I want I want the armband phone I'm really about wonder woman. I'm on my body in any way. So sure who is it? Yeah, that is so great. But you know what I mean? I think I know what you meant. Yeah In a cosplay sense No, and in like just being able to have that thing just on there It's the best of a watch, but then you can pull it off and use it as a phone Maybe you could even extend it out and make it a tablet I Love that. Oh lila is a much better example. Tenvec points out lila from Futurama Steve from Columbus, Ohio says in addition to unique passwords per site to factor two-step verification and last pass When I can I do the following for sites that use an email address as a login id I make the address unique taking advantage of the plus symbol that gmail allows you to use an address So an email address that is full name at gmail.com can become full name plus site unique At gmail.com even if my email and password leak from another site not only is my password unique But my login is unique too Uh, so in other words if they get his email even if they're like, well, we see the plus Let's just take that off. He hasn't used that as the login id at other sites That is a really good point. Yeah, I I used that. I mean yahoo had that for a while So I don't know if they still do but that unique name and I Uh, I maybe I should start using that. That's a really good good point My only problem would be I'd forget which which how to log in because I'd forget You know, I Yeah, I I got to change my my password from baba data or something whatever whatever Dotted out. Yeah Uh, and then for those security questions where we we said just don't answer them honestly Uh, the ones that are like, what high school did you go to? Who's your first pet? All of that stuff? Thinness says I answer them based on my backstory from my dungeons and dragons character Uh, he said now this will not work for everyone, but the basis is solid You could base your security question answers on a good friend a person you dislike Just nothing rather than your own identity. That's okay. That's that's really funny. Yeah, I I could I could definitely see that I actually love the idea of coming up With a character that you use for your security questions that you don't tell anyone about So that no one could ever guess no one knows. Yeah I love that so Marlin the guy from Trinidad, uh, was noticing that yesterday we mentioned the twitter got a material design makeover for android and fans got Really excited. He says now, I know you know why we get excited But I wanted to quickly share the reasons for other ios users like scott who may not know And also why twitter getting material design was such a big deal in the first place Android apps have a history of getting really crappy ports of ios apps that didn't take into consideration how android operates When material design launched suddenly we had apps that looked great and worked fantastic and devs who switched to material design Usually saw an uptick in usage and downloads Pair that with the fact that twitter has always been horrible on android and superstar android developer and creator of the acclaimed Twitter client falcon pro Joaquin Verhes was hired by twitter and is behind the redesign And you can see why it's a big deal Okay, I have not played material design, but I have been on android before and it always had crappy ports. So if it's better serious serious applause for that Yeah, and I feel like it's been getting better. So this this design is only gonna gonna notch it up even farther Uh, then yesterday patrick beija who is from france and living in japan made the statement Why doesn't everyone in the world just use 911 as their emergency number was not me the united states citizen saying that It was that world citizen patrick beija saying that But carl from wendy stockholm was one of the people to point out that uh, Here in sweden the emergency number is 112 Which apparently is a worldwide standard that works on mobile phones But in sweden 911 also works they use both Okay But yeah, I think universal standard It you know will be great just like the metric system because everybody uses that. Yeah, I mean, uh, yeah, absolutely Yeah, I wish you no, I mean that's what's gonna everyone will use 112 eventually except us We'll still be on 911 and we'll be like 911 is a joke in your country because you don't use it Uh, finally, I wanted to pass along from gadget chaser that the washington dc area meetup is happening this saturday If you're in the delaware maryland virginia area or the district of columbia Head to o'sullivan's irish pub and restaurant in clarendon arlington virginia on clarendon in arlington virginia That is saturday uh, june 11th 2016 at 1 p.m. Until they all decide to leave And we'll have all of that information in our show notes at daily tech news show dot com as well Are you gonna be there?

She just looks out the window She'll be she'll be fine the way it's supposed to go. Here's the way it's supposed Lamar the way it's supposed to go And it won't but this is the way it's supposed to go is 345 for the vet appointment. It's 15 minutes away All right, it takes no more than a half hour Because it's just a check-in We we leave at 415 takes 15 minutes to get home get home pull in make the call Okay, right I'll be watching from outside of light with the aliens I'll be jamming your gps No, that's that should work no the whole time I was uh, I was doing the finding all those studies and everything I was like, oh my god. I'm gonna be that the headline of like man who does podcast about phones and cars Exactly like that cannot happen Um The drive really slow deliberate Well, yeah, no, but I got to make it home in 15 minutes You know what that'd be great if um self-driving cars had a sundry sunday driving mode So it's just a little bit safer and slower. No We already got sundry driving mode. There's called 80 year olds in it on the road No, but like once we have driverless cars And all the 80 year olds are just sitting there. They'll need to have their own setting. So we know who they are It's like an early bird special except for cars As long as like early in the morning like get them to denny's at five in the morning get get them there early Yeah, they don't have they don't have denny's at five or four p.m tops So will it be illegal in the future to have a self-driving car with no one in it? Well, that's one of the questions is when when will they be allowed to to be empty because because that's what uber wants to do That's what I would want to do a car and it just drives itself to you Elon musk has talked about how the he believes his tesla could could drive across the country without a driver in it I'd pay a monthly fee for that Like a like a rental thing to and apple will take 15 after the first year I mean if you think about all the use case scenarios Uh, oh, I need to pick something up at the uh my like for example of a mailbox that I get on my packages Right, right They can just meet the car outside shove everything into the car and it just drives back I don't have to leave I would love that because I have to go to my ups store today and I hate going there Uh, yeah, it's a pain in the ass. I love my ups store. No, I love I love the people I just don't like you just hate having to go there It's the drive there. It's just got you like I can do that with my teeth I can take my teeth out put it in the seat and I can drive to the dentist the dentist could work on it And send it back. I don't know that The way you think it would it's pretty clever, huh? Roger you you're old, but I didn't think you were Man, did you did you guys ever have relatives that took their teeth out at night? Yeah Yeah grandparents did that And they brush their teeth with tooth powder No, it's scared. They told me they're like you should brush your teeth with tooth powder It's just as good as the toothpaste. They're like, yeah, but you guys don't have teeth We don't know that Like I don't know that you're the best testament for good You got to swish your mouth with apple cider vinegar every every day Like yeah, I see what happened to you. That's the second time apple cider vinegar has come up Veronica was mentioning it this week, too Yeah, I'm a big I'm a I'm a big proponent. It's disgusting, but I'm a big proponent of it. I have I have it meatloaf actually Well, you cook Yeah I'm not being like funny. I didn't know you I didn't know I didn't know you So wait a minute that part of your master sauces No, it's just uh, it just goes in the meatloaf to kind of give it a little acid Reflex No, it's uh, I predict Driverless cars will expand sprawl Well, expand sprawl. Oh because you'll be able to live You'll be like, oh, it's not so the traffic's not so bad. I can live a little farther away And I can sit through a plate clash where I don't worry about And you can get more work done on the commute because you're not actually having to drive Like how about this? Podcasting daily tech news on the road. It's all in the car Daily tech road show. There you go That was one of the first podcasts I ever subscribed to is a video podcast called drive time This guy Ravi in boston who would just he put a camera on his dashboard and he would just talk To the camera while he was driving to work Huh, I bet back then it'll be like extremely interesting Ravi james extremely interesting now He would pick up guests. He worked in the startup community in boston He would pick up guests who were people who were working on apps And talk to them in the car during his commute Okay, that's ash. That is a really good idea He was like the robert scoble of driving. I wonder whatever happened to him because I loved his show It was really good He interviewed the guys from dodgeball. Those are the folks that ended up making four square Oh, that's you meant the movie dodgeball. No If you could dodge a hammer face good ball maybe but not dodge ball I like that movie. I need to that was like the last movie. I liked, uh, what's his name? No, the big tall guy. That's the the lead Oh Vince Vaughn Vince Vaughn is the last movie I liked Vince Vaughn it Wow Then after that I just did a bunch of stupid, baby You know what I saw last night when the first time because it was on hbo go I thought I've been waiting for it for weeks of the martian. I had never seen it. Oh really and I That's like I was waiting for it to come out on on digital, but then I saw hb, you know, because I have hbo um, that's like wow it that was an amazing movie like I I I really I just truly enjoyed it Audio if you do you ever do audiobooks? Yes, matter of fact if you go to audible.com slash lamar you can get You I'm like wait a minute. Do I have any audible codes right now? No, okay, that's fine then you asked and Go and get the martian And then you can use it in your ads to talk about how awesome it was because it's really well done So it's a auto. It's a audio. Wait. Was this a book first? Yeah, Andy Weir wrote the book and then they turned it into a movie Oh, okay. So who who narrates to just uh, it's one of the one of the good audible narrators, but the near escapes me I wonder what I like that as good as as well as the movie probably because with all the detail W's got us one. Put your put your audible code in the uh chat. Oh Oh, thank you That's funny. I expect a commission on all these exactly No, I just I just did an audible ad. I think a week or two ago. I haven't done one in like a year. So it was kind of Oh, really? Yeah. Yeah, that's pretty There's a lot of youtubers doing them right now Some some of them I've seen is so I hate the word cringy. I really do but there's some there's some of them are just so like Oh, come on. They're not doing it You're just doing this video just because of the audible ad Where I was going to do my video. Anyway, I did an Oculus rift I was going to I was going to unbox Oculus rift. Anyway, they unboxed their own phone running in the audible app Yeah, so It's a Everybody has to get paid their own way. I don't I don't I don't Lots of different ways lots of ways to go around that's what when when we went ad free I had to do a lot of explaining to people like no, I'm not against advertisements But in this situation it does a lot of good things It takes pressure off me. It's one fewer thing. I don't have to track impressions I can freely laugh like I can encourage people to spread the show around and share it Because I don't care if I track anything like it just it does all kinds of good things for dts But that doesn't mean that I don't still find advertising supportive content perfectly legitimate in other situations. So Just a different way of doing it. Yeah, no, I really like that All right. Well, that is it for us. Thanks everybody for watching. Thank you again. Lamar. We're going off the air. Well, all right tomorrow though Take care
