 It's my headset It's probably the government Maybe I've seen naked lunch. I know it happens Actually, I don't I've seen it eight times and I Know what happens? We are live on the YouTubes B&J I Had a PB and J Lara bar today I have a watch a Macaulay, but I feel that that's that's a sinful act if I'm gonna keep on my non-existent diet Yeah, it's not really a diet item watch a Macaulay What was that a thing? Yeah, oh come on, oh Keydokey you guys ready? Yes Here we go Daily Tech news show is powered by its audience to find out more head to daily tech news show comm slash support This is the Daily Tech news for Monday, February 27th 2017 I'm Tom Merritt joining me today. This is Veronica Belmont. How are you? I'm fantastic. How are you? I am so so good We had a weekend full of phone news. We're gonna do something fun today. Actually There's a lot of Mobile World Congress news a lot of it is specs So rather than just sit here and say that one has four gigabytes of DDR RAM For a half an hour. I'm going to read out the announcements in as efficient a way as I can So you get the sense of what they announced and then Veronica and I are gonna give them grades Okay, are you feeling? Yeah, you know, I guess yes I don't judge especially qualified to make these kinds of grading decisions That's the beauty of the internet. You don't have to be qualified to be judgy. You're a consumer. You use phones, right? I use a phone. Yeah, and that's that's who these things are targeted at they're targeted us So, you know feel feel free to play along at home with your own grades You can even send them in or put them in our slack if you're in the analyst like But before we do that Let's start off with the top five non-Mobile World Congress stories And this just happened right before this show Ubers senior vice president of engineering Amit Singhal has been asked to resign by CEO Travis Kalanick Recode reports that uber discovered that Singhal had not Informed them that he left Google after executives there informed him of an allegation of sexual harassment from an employee That an internal investigation had found credible now Singhal denied the allegations of harassment says there's no substance to them They're their false allegations But did acknowledge there had been a dispute at Google Recode says Google was prepared to fire Singhal But he redesigned before that could happen at the very beginning of 2016 went over to uber at the time Everybody thought it was just you know He decided to move on after a long career at Google and it turns out that he sort of rushed out the door ahead of something Yes, and he did not of course let uber know that and with the the situation they're going through right now They they deemed that to be an untenable circumstance and let him go Yeah, and he would certainly be considered a top performer whether he is the top performer That has previously been mentioned in Ms. Fowler's blog post. We don't know Yes, it seems unlikely that that those two situations are connected But just the the they said in the article that they do not believe it to be the same situation But just the culture there is is definitely going through a shift and something as as troubling as that definitely had to have been on the surface Initially and something they couldn't live with you're right Exactly Twitch will start selling video games this spring Partnered streamers will get five percent of sales originating on their channel with 70 percent going to the game publisher and the rest to twitch Customers who buy games get a twitch crate with emotes badges and bits the twitch currency Ooh take that valve twitch coming at you That's that's fascinating too in a really nice way for streamers to actually make some income off of the games they're talking about Yeah, there's no, uh There's there there's no, um Well, like league of legends none of the big streaming games are on board yet But if they did, uh, this this could become a bit of a source of revenue five percent Isn't isn't a huge amount, but it could become a source of revenue It's also possible that it could lead to allegations that that people are changing what games they're playing in order to sell the games, right? That's very true. But at the same token, uh, you know, this has been a great way for indie developers to kind of have their games be You know get some attention that they might not necessarily have gotten So now both the streamers and the developers can kind of benefit to to some effect for for this content In an interview with the new york times global chief executive for sony interactive andrew house said the company has sold 950,000 playstation vr units as of february 19th There's a lot of debate about whether the htc vive or the oculus rift are selling more units But it turns out playstation vr may be selling more than both of them Sony's internal goal was to sell a million units by mid april It's very close to that goal But although it has been dealing with supply shortfalls, sony expects those supply issues to be resolved by april So it's probably going to hit that million target or at least get close And they also announced uh playstation vr will go on sale in latin america this autumn So if you've been waiting for it in uh south america central america, you should have a chance to get it by the end of the year Not quick enough unfortunately to help those numbers, but still exciting for for users down there That's a lot of vr helmets. Yeah So really is mozilla has acquired pocket the service that lets you save things to read or watch later I'm a fan pocket started as a firefox extension and has been firefox's default read it later service since 2015 Pocket has approximately 10 million monthly active users and will continue to operate as an independent subsidiary So, uh, do you have pocket guilt? I have a little pocket guilt. I say things to pocket all the time And then I don't go read them I'm I'm a little bit bad with that But I actually like finding them later like when i'm really looking for something to read And i'm like, oh, I saved all this great stuff, but ryan is religious about it He reads his pocket every week when he's at the gym on on the you know The elliptical machine or whatever it is he's using he gets he burns through all his pocket stories that then that's like his his his habit Well, he is not alone apparently with 10 i didn't realize they had 10 million monthly active users So this will be interesting too because what it looks like mozilla wants to do Is take that data and use it to improve the browsing experience and they're talking a lot about verification Uh of stories to say these are high quality stories because a lot of people are using them on pocket. So yeah I don't know if that's necessarily the best data data point, but yeah, yeah Line pay, which is the line messaging services. Uh, mobile payment system has passed 10 million registered users itself That's a 280 growth and the number of transactions on the platform has grown 13.8 times And all that growth isn't necessarily in japan where the line is based a lot of it's in korea And line pay added more than 400 merchants since its launch in taiwan in august of 2015 line is also promoting line pay heavily in indonesia and thailand uh, so A lot of people laughed at line when they were making money on stickers And then the sticker market sort of went south and a lot of people were wondering Is line going to be able to survive now and it looks like they've figured out another way to monetize Cool To get all the tech headlines each day in less than 10 minutes subscribe to daily tech headlines.com All right, here we go with our mobile world congress report card. We're going to move through these efficiently like I said If if you want to keep just just hearing what the announcements are you definitely should be subscribing to daily tech headlines.com We had a special sunday edition and then rich straffolino had a version this morning that kind of extended that so Let's start with nokia though three smartphones a 5.5 inch nokia 6 they announced this for china back at ces It's now going to be available worldwide for 229 euros and 299 euros a 5.2 inch nokia 5 That's 189 euros and the nokia 3 for 139 euros. These these are different variants in body Quality they're android smartphones Decent cameras. They can be pre-ordered at nokia.com slash phones. They'll ship in q2 But here's the big part and it's not even the big part That should be the big part right hmd is bringing back these nokia phones But they're also bringing back the 33 10 candy bar phone It's going to run the series 30 plus os with the 2.4 inch qvga screen 2 megapixel camera It even gets a micro sd card slot and comes bundled with the opera mini browser So even though it's not a smartphone you can do a little browsing on it and yes, you'll also be able to play snake Gonna cost you 49 euros. That's all in q2. All right Three android smartphones decent smartphones, but also the nokia 33 10. How do you grade this? I'm gonna give it a b plus just for the 33 10 Yeah, it really honestly the nokia smartphones is sort of like, okay, these specs aren't knocking me out But they seemed like decent phones. They're not getting me excited. I would give them a c on that But then you come with the 33 10 And on nostalgia alone, it's got to raise it to a b for me too. I don't want it I mean, it's only 49 euros. Also, that's probably like 75 bucks. We don't know what it's going to be in the us That's 75 bucks that I probably shouldn't waste on another phone On a phone on not smartphone. Just purely for nostalgia But it's tempting, right? I'm gonna step i'm gonna step in here. Oh, roger's gonna give a great. All right. Go ahead roger I give that an a because that's a perfect like phone. You can take cross borders and not worry about anything Oh fair point. You know, it's like, oh, I'm just gonna pull out the nokia when I go through Yeah, the 33 10 is what I take. Go play snake. Go go knock yourself out Well, it still has a micro sd card slot There can still be data in there that they could access like phone numbers Hey, you know what it's can if it's not filled Mail it to your hotel. I don't know. It probably has some kind of internal memory I'm gonna swallow it. Just a phone number. I'm gonna swallow that micro sd before I go through There you go. Ah, right. Let's move on to sony Uh, sony really well known for image sensors these days. That's when they make their money But they do put those image sensors and phones still and so they announced the xperia 5.5 inch xz premium and the 5.2 inch xperia xz s big deal with these is hdr image support 19 megapixel camera ip68 dust and water resistance front facing stereo speakers And the xz premium has a 4k screen that hot snapdragon 835 processor. That's just out from qualcomm Four gigabytes of lp ddr for xram coming later in the spring no price because they're having a problem sourcing those chips The xz s is a 1080p display snapdragon 820 That's april 5th for seven hundred dollars with 64 gigabytes of storage And one more announcement before we give the grade The sony xperia touch projector An android device that can project a 1366 by 768 image at up to 80 inches on any surface it can be on a wall it can be on a table Uh, and especially when it's on a table you can use it for 10 point touch sensitivity 10 point touch So you can use that image that it's projecting on your coffee table as a touchscreen Also has google assistant, which all the android devices now are getting google assistant battery only lasts an hour So you pretty much leave this thing plugged in most of the time. Here's the kicker at 1,599 euros Spring in europe what grade do you give sony on the two xperias and the xperia touch projector? I mean i i like the phones. I like xperia phones I always think they're really pretty and very well made and attractive and the camera is always great And they always stuff a lot of technology in there So i would give those like probably an a minus But because the projector is so expensive and frankly, I just think projectors like this are kind of stupid I know people have uses for them. I get that that's fine The 10 point touches is actually rather cool, but the price point is just still Way inaccessible for most people. So i'm going to give them a b minus B minus. Oh, okay. I I would give the xperia phones a b They they they would get an a on imaging, but there's just nothing else really grabbing my attention there I would give the touch projector an a Except when it comes to the price that brings it down to an a minus. So averaging that out. I guess i'm giving a b plus So I guess we kind of were we were in the b range I give a b minus you give a b plus so they get a solid b All right tcl announced the blackberry key one tc like hmd is making the phones under the nokia brown tcl Has been making phones under the blackberry brand Tcl announced the blackberry key one a 4.5 inch 16 20 by a 1080 lcd touch screen with a three two Aspect ratio and a touch sensitive physical keyboard. So it's a narrow phone. It's got a physical keyboard Uh, it can do keyboard shortcuts. There's a fingerprint sensor in the space bar and it's shipping in april for five hundred forty nine bucks Keyboard I know what do you give a grade for that? I'm gonna give that an a it looks dope I'm torn. I'm torn. Are you kidding me? This is gonna make like old blackberry users like bananas. Look at that keyboard. It's exactly the same an old blackberry user I would give it an a I am not And the weird aspect ratio and stuff and and the review now I'd have to put my hands on it But the reviews say that the keyboard is actually slower than a touch keyboard But it's still nice to have a physical keyboard Actually, maybe we can call maybe we can call roger back in on this one. Who is an old blackberry user He used his blackberry bold until it like fell apart Which it literally did it just no I know stop recording. Um I give it a B. I give it a B. It's part of it is that The blackberry's original form factor made it very easy to use with the keyboard I don't know. This might be a little top heavy or you're using your index fingers to hold up as you type Yeah, I can see that Yeah, I think I'm gonna end up on a on a B with it. I still respect your a though. I like I just I'm excited about I like physical keyboards. I'm excited about them for other people The lg g6 was the lg flagship phone. That's the one with the two one aspect ratio. You'll see it also expressed It's 18 9 so if you're thinking 16 9 aspect ratio, which is what your hd tv has 18 9 lets you see oh It's it's a little bit wider But 18 9 also if you know fractions this is down to 2 1 Got a new lg interface that takes advantage of that extra screen real estate So you can put some controls in there. You can also see two windows side by side for instance They had a cool camera thing where you could actually See the picture you just took while you're lining up the next picture to see if like you can improve on it Stuff like that no price of release date announced though. Uh, it's supposed to be coming to south korean in a few days I don't have any feelings So I guess I guess you're gonna mark you're gonna mark lg complete for handing in the assignment I can't the it's not making me feel anything. It looks fine. I don't know what that comes out to as a grade I would give it a d if it weren't for the 18 9 aspect ratio that brings it up to a c Okay, and I'm probably being too hard on it, but I'm just not I'm like it's beautiful maybe I should give it a b just because they they did a good job on design but Nothing the the the screen aspect ratio enough is not is not enough for me. This is my grade. It's just me Yeah, no, you're right. You're I mean I gave it I gave it a complete. So I can't really talk Uh, Lenovo. Well, this is Motorola, but Lenovo owned Motorola announced the five inch moto g5 and 5.2 inch g5 plus Android seven phones. They both are 1080p hd micro sd card slots Uh snapdragon 625 processor in the plus can record 4k video The g5 has a removable 2,800 milliamp hour battery. The plus has a sealed So non-removable 3000 milliamp hour battery both ship and march the g5 is 199 euros That one's not coming to the us though the g5 plus starts at 299 dollars That one is coming to the us, but our us version will not have nfc They keep like making me go. Oh and then Yeah, oh also, um, Lenovo is going to bring amazon voice services to the moto z phones That was part of their announcement. So there's going to be a module the moto z has the modules. There'll be an amazon voice service module So that's neither of these phones No, but that's part of the whole Motorola whole package. Yeah All right a c plus then. Oh wow. Okay. Yeah, um, I was thinking b minus because they kept doing cool things like Oh, that's a 4k video. That's not bad. Oh, it's sealed in. Oh, but it's a removal. Oh, it's not and the prices The prices moved me up in b territory the amazon voice service module. I guess just keeps it from falling I was like to give this thing a b plus actually Are we just learning that I mean Well, I was a lot meaner to LG. You're a lot of the meaner Motorola. So we're probably balancing out. Okay. Okay. Here's here's The student with the highest difficulty assignment samsung Samsung is going to announce its new galaxy s phone in new york on march 29th That would usually be their big mobile world congress. It's but it's not So they came with tablets Showed off the galaxy tab s3 and the galaxy book tab s3 is an android tablet with 2048 by 1536 display with hdr playback So you can show some amazon video in hdr on there galaxy book is a windows 10 convertible Both the 10.6 inch and 12 inch model They showed off a lot of s pen stuff that it could do and they've got partnerships with adobe and they showed photoshop running on the 12 inch model Samsung also showed off a new touchpad controller for the gear vr that acute that uses an accelerometer and gyroscope to track your hand motion Including tilt and including a circular clickable touch pads very much Like the daydream the controller also includes a trigger button along with standard home back and volume buttons No price release date on any of this I'm giving them a star sticker for participation Oh They get an honorable mention They get a star sticker Uh I'm gonna give samsung I'm gonna give them an a minus Whoa, and I'm definitely grading on a curve here Yeah, you are Though the galaxy book Is a really compelling windows 10 convertible If anything were to bring them down it would be it'd be the fact that there's no price and release date and the gear vr is like Set in the pace so bringing in the the most the motion tracking the you know the hand motion tracking That's that's pretty awesome. So I think they We all would have liked to see phones from them, but what they brought was pretty good All right. All right. All right. Uh, I got to start moving along here Huawei announced its new 5.1 inch 1080p p10 And 5.5 inch w qhd p10 plus flagship phones They both have really nice cameras. They both have like a dual camera lenses. The dual camera lenses can do lots of cool tricks They run the octa core kirin 960 processor 4 gigs ram 64 gigs of storage as well as a version that's 6 gigs of ram and 128 gigs of storage for the plus The p10 has a 3200 milliamp hour battery the p10 plus a 37 50 milliamp hour battery P10 cost 649 euros p10 plus starts at 699 euros Shipping in march in parts of europe and asia australia new zealand The Huawei also announced the Huawei watch 2 and watch 2 classic those include gps heart rate sensor NFC so they can do android pay 1.2 inch circular display and 12.6 millimeters thick with double the battery life of the previous watch at two days Watch 2 will have a model with lte as well as a Porsche designed version pricing begins at 329 euros Coming to china parts of western and central europe in march and then more widely in april and may Yeah, i'm giving this an a I think they are like the brand to watch Well, you see the watch makes you give them an a The p10 and the p10 plus kind of bore me. Don't tell me why I gave them an a Oh, well, I'm just saying they make me want to give it a And and and I think they they actually just you know the p10 and p10 plus aren't bad enough to bring the watch grade down So i'm gonna give an a minus total. Okay. Yeah, they're totally solid phones and they look nice and they've got sweet sweet cameras Uh, I like this one especially because what's that? What's that show with mike coal? hunted the hunt hunted this is the kind of device you would see on hunted HP announced a windows 10 equipped pro x2 612 g2 Ways 2.65 pounds nice keyboard good travel last up to 11 hours can be charged up to 50 within an hour It also features mill std a 10g spec for Drop shock proof dust proof humidity proof Has an lte modem 512 gigabytes of removable solid state storage 8 gigabytes of ram a core i7 cpu with intel graphics 615 and you can pop the back off it for in the field service To replace components including that solid state drive bundles in a wacom stylus Uh and available now starting at 979 dollars. So all those specs aren't necessarily in the 979 dollar version Uh, but you can start the spec It's there and a rugged case runs your 49 box bucks There's even a dock coming for it in march when you do have to be out of the field that'll run you 140 I want to go into the field just for this hybrid. I'm giving it. I'm giving it an a plus a plus I think you know what? We're both suckers for this. I'm giving it an a plus too, right? I mean, we really shouldn't we should really try it and see if it lives up to the hype of its ruggedness They had me at military spec. I'm sorry. Yeah, it's it's really tough and I'm I've never actually Think pad is the closest to a tough laptop I've ever got because it was a more sensible like those ruggedized laptops from panasonic and stuff They never really were as rugged as they wanted you to think Maybe I'm just being silly by thinking this is going to be but I'd take it on a test run. I like the spec take it out into the boonies for sure All right back to Lenovo this time for tablets and laptops The yoga 720 laptop line 13 and 15 inch versions Yoga has that 360 degree hinge. These have a 4k display fingerprint reader active stylus 15 inch has an optional nvidia gtx 10 50 in it with up to 16 gigs of ram and 512 gigs of solid state storage That starts at 860 dollars coming in april Then there's the Lenovo tab 4 and tab 4 plus Both of these come in 8 and 10 inch versions Here's the kicker. I mean, you don't really have to hear the specs The tab 4 8 inch is 104 dollars. The tab 4 plus 10 inch is 249 dollars And the other two are in between Okay, the specs wise, you know the tab 4 only has a snapdragon 4 25 and 2 gigs of ram Tap 4 plus has a snapdragon 6 25 4 gigs of ram Tab 4 plus has a fingerprint reader But man, uh, I mean you can get some options too. You can add lte for a little bit more There's a kid's pack that gives you a kid friendly case. It's a little durable in a blue light filter That's 20 dollars or 25 dollars for the plus or for the 10 inch I mean a productivity pack for the 10 inch with bluetooth keyboard is 50 bucks But really I mean 104 to 249 dollars if you need a solid tablet But if you don't need it to do a ton these are pretty good I'm not super impressed by the by the yoga like this most recent iteration. It's fine It's fine. I am impressed by the price point on the tabs. I think that's pretty nice So I'm going to give this a b plus I'm going to give it an a minus just because I'm going to be I'm decided to be impressed by the nvidia gtx 1050 option On a decided. Yeah, and I've always thought the yoga idea was pretty cool. That's that 360 degree hinge Also, I need to learn more about this productivity pack. It sounds like it's got a bluetooth keyboard for 50 dollars Is that a pack or is that just the keyboard is well the keyboard like automatically launches some stuff for you You know, yeah, sure. Is it's not it's not a surface, but There you go. All right two more to grade before we're done here And these are neither one of them going to be phones tablets or laptops Because there is more in mobile than just those devices DJI announced the matrice 200 quadcopter with IP 43 waterproofing some other weather proofing can hold up to three cameras Has enough sensors to navigate with centimeter precision has a camera in its nose For when you're piloting you can see where you're going from the perspective of the quadcopter A dual gimbal for a zoom lens and thermal imaging camera and a top mounted gimbal that can shoot straight up And they use bridges as an example like oh when you're inspect inspecting your bridges You can shoot straight up from the top So, yeah, they are really marketing this is at things like structural inspections monitoring like enterprise situations Also has an adsb receiver so that it can detect and get out of the way of passenger aircraft No price on this yet, but they are saying q2 2017 What grade do you give the dji enterprise level bridge inspector? A plus A plus because I already said it I already said it twice because it does all the things I know because that's it's great I'm going to give it an a I don't know if I'm going to give it an a plus because I don't know enough About the uses that this will be made of I bet you there are some folks in the audience who do and and if you could write in And tell us about that that would be great, but it's well specced. Also, we don't know the price Oh, yeah, if it's like $10,000 that might be problematic. Yeah Uh, finally htc announced the vive tracker a device that can attach to you Like on your wrist or on your legs Or to objects so that you can see them in vr games It'll cost $100, but it's only being given to developers starting March 27th They said it'll be available for everybody by the end of the year The deluxe audio strap is the second vive accessory that htc announced with an adjustable sizing dial So that it's pretty comfortable and built-in headphones.

I'll I'll give you that But they do sound like good solid accessories Maybe not essentials Yeah, I agree. Um, but I do I do like stuff like this I were I kind of wish things worked better out of the box and didn't need stuff like this But if that's the way we're gonna have to do it. Okay. Yeah for now for now. Also, um side note lg I think it was lg. Yeah lg announced a um a A uh steam Cooperation they don't have many details about it.

And I keep realizing well, I can't really say anything about it because the book's not out But I have to at this point. There's there's this great scene about people using blackberry pagers in the early 2000s And that reminded me of that. Yeah Thanks Thank you. Nate go check them out tech podcast dot uk one more email before we're done Tennis he says pronounced t-ness the h end. I is silent. There we go. I keep saying thinnest Thank you for the correction. Tennyson Cape Town says your whatsapp comments got me thinking Whatsapp in South Africa is the de facto messaging app Its biggest appeal is the fact that you don't need a username All you needs the app if your contacts have it they are already there waiting for you to message them Making the barrier to use really low. What's app is so popular that one of our smaller cellular operators Zero rated whatsapp data to entice people to join them Now for the reasons why whatsapp might not be so popular in the usa could have to do with the iphone And it's disproportionately high usage there compared to the rest of the world So iMessage has better traction because it comes with the iphone and chances are that your friends will have an iphone too I can only imagine that the bay area is a bastion of iphone users. Anyway, thank you as always for the great show tennis That's very true. Well, it's a very good explanation of south africa for sure But overall in the u.s. You may be right about the bay area all over Android is dominant here. I mean iphone has a bigger market share here than many parts of the world But android is still huge and i have plenty of people that i Communicate with regularly That their messages show up on as green if i'm using an iphone not blue Which means they're not using an iphone so I I think it really i don't know that could have something to do with it. Maybe I really think it just has to do with the unlimited messaging plans. Yeah That's how many how many friends do you think you have that you text with regular? I can think about four Yeah, that's probably like definitely on android. Yeah. Yeah, it's a it's it's it's not the majority by a long long shot But it's noticed close to half an half for me. That's yeah, that's a lot Uh, well, thank you veronica belmont as always for joining us. Uh, what's going on?

I heard that It was your original tv judge That judged people I mean, he was not perry mason, but he was an actual judge. Well, he was retired. He was a retired and then he made a court of it his court based on his experience Was was he did he create that show? No, but the uh, the idea behind it was Who was first court show was history conception John Masterson devised the original camera in court concept in 75 Okay, it's at the montee hall Um, the networks weren't interested. So the guy Uh, they put a guy named stew billet originally to sell it didn't work out with the networks So he just went on in his own refined the concept into a show show shot in the studio rather than in the courtroom Because originally I guess the original thing was they would actually be in the actual courtroom Cops but for court rooms.

Did you watch it all the way to the end? I watched the final the final award And but I didn't see that we left thinking that a lot. Oh, I was gonna say that's what I wanted to know if you saw the Yeah, we we we got home. It's like what? Yeah, uh, that seems That seems to happen last year didn't it for something or no not for the oscars No, there was the mist universe thing. Is that what you're thinking of? No, there was another award It was another award show where the wrong Maybe it was a couple of years ago Golden blows the only one I can the only one I know of is mist universe where steve harvey read the wrong winner Oh, maybe it is maybe that but that's it It's still a great night Actually, the best thing I loved about the oscars. I believe or not is jimmy kimmel's schtick where he brought in those Tor at tour group. You like that? I loved it. That's like so taking his uh, his uh show Into the oscars very smart. Definitely Definitely him taking a show Uh, and eileen's a big fan of his show. So she's been on jimmy kimmel. Oh nice She went to see a recording with my nephew and they both got sat by jimmy while he did one of his tosses to break Oh nice, uh, so we I think we still have the recording of her Oh, that's so cool. It's like on my tv I mean she didn't say anything. She's just sitting there a bit Uh, yeah, she's a big fan. So she loved it And uh gearmo from the show was I don't know if you notice. Yes And if they if I ever did something that would that would get people Outraged, I mean there's enough outrage to go around to be honest always there always is Um, but yeah, I guess what happened is there's two pricewaterhouse coopers people who are the only people who know the winners They each have a set of their own cards Uh, like a you know like a redundant set. So they so in case one gets misplaced or lost, you know Or damaged they still got a second set and they gave they announced best actress And then accidentally gave, uh, Warren Beatty the second Best actress envelope instead of the best picture envelope and that's what confused them So they gave them the wrong they gave him the best actress envelope. He opened it up. It said Emma stone lala land He was confused why Emma stone's name was on it And then he handed it to fey denaway to look and she just read lala land and said it uh You know, yeah I mean, I know they don't want people to see but there has to be a way to tell Sometimes well the outside of it's actually a lot of people are criticizing the UI or the design Of the cards because the outside said you could actually see if you zoomed in on the on the still It said best actress, but it was yellow on a red background And so it just kind of faded in you didn't really notice it. Yeah, it's bad bad human engineering human engineering Speaking of which it's friday. We gotta we gotta wake up early that day. Mm-hmm Imagining Oh, yeah, so we should tell folks about that and we should mention it on the show. Uh, there will be Uh, our friday show will actually happen saturday morning Uh this week.

Thailand also a place that's very mobile first Mobile first mobile first mighty mobile first But if you want a little insight into how things are different Online, you know people have different attitudes online and different parts of the world Uh And and just just to see how like even though we all have the internet We don't necessarily use it the same way.
