I mean cord. I mean you talk about this cord cutting stuff all the time and more and more people You know are into it and uh, you know have been waiting I mean people weren't waiting for this kind of thing For so long and finally in 2014, you know, some the ball has kind of been bouncing in its direction I think you know, you take this and what um, you know, our parent company cbs is doing with You know cbs news and some of its programming as well and a number of others. It's good stuff TechCrunch reports the great book war of 2014 has ended just in time for the holiday shopping season amazon and the hashet book group have agreed on a new multi-year agreement for ebook and print sales Hashet will set its own prices for ebooks. That's the so-called agency model But it will receive better terms in other words more promotion when those prices are closer to what amazon wants Via their guidelines the new prices take effect in 2015 But amazon will stop messing with hashet pre-orders and search listings and such right now So when you go look for hashet books, they'll be there exactly where you expected them to be Reuters reports blackberry announced its new mobile security and device management platform thursday bs-12 Blackberry enterprise server 12 will let companies and government agencies manage android ios and windows devices along with blackberry's own products It will also be able to handle medical diagnostic equipment industrial machinery and motor vehicles Among the partnerships is one with samsung to combine blackberry device management with samsung's Nox security platform for android phones. That's a scheduled to start sometime in early 2015 Blackberry also announced partnerships with salesforce.com and wireless distribution company bright star This seems like what everybody's been wanting blackberry to do for a long time Yeah, it was this is such a smart thing to do and i'm i'm confident Um, they'll do it. Well, it's just one of those things. They should have done in 2009, you know Um, if they would have done that and and not sort of been so infatuated with being a device maker They would have done this and focused in this direction You know, I think they wouldn't be in the in the problem in the trouble that they're in Uh, and certainly and it would have been a good thing overall for Um, you know government and high security networks who really need those kind of things and um, and you know right now There's just there's some really a lot of challenges with with mobile security Um because of the lack of these kind of solutions. So and samsung knocks in blackberry are two of the best so You can't blame john shen though. He wasn't there back then and this is kind of the fastest that he could get around to it So you got to give him points for like well, this this is what I need to do. I did it as fast as I could Uh, do you think it is too little too late though? Yeah, they really are not a leader in mobile device management, which is what this this um You know this sector is um, they're they're a uh, they're coming from behind on this Whereas they used to be really great, you know and now, you know, they're behind a number of other players and playing catch up And so, you know, it's not it's not inconceivable that they could you know become a big player in it But uh, they certainly could have done it, you know, if they would have done it a while ago You know, they were in a really good position now. They have to kind of play from behind But you know, you never know they still have a really good reputation in the enterprise go blackberry come from behind According to the next web nvidia announced the north american launch of its new cloud gaming service Called grid the service launches november 18th requires an nvidia shield tablet or handheld And they recommend a 10 megabit per second internet connection with a ping of 60 milliseconds or less to the grid servers Once you have all that in place though, you can play 20 games at launch including batman arkham city Borderlands 2 and darksiders 2 and the service will be free until june 30th nvidia also revealed its shield tablet will upgrade to android 5.0 lollipop on november 18th Coincidentally, probably not coincidentally at all probably my design The verge drops a little mathematical reality on the taylor swift spotify grudge match Spotify's founder daniel ekk said that swift was projected during six million dollars on his service before she pulled all her tracks Then the head of swift's label scott borcetta said wtf or words to that effect I would imagine spotify only gave us five hundred thousand dollars Well, it turns out both numbers are actually true spotify paid miss swift five hundred thousand dollars for her us streams Globally, they paid taylor swift two million dollars So just cherry-picking a particular market's number the six million dollars that daniel ekk was talking about Uh was projected earnings over time for the coming year and granted They were the most optimistic projection he could use since they gave him the biggest number But all of those numbers are true There's nothing so there's no dispute with taylor swift Just math problems Yeah, it is it's it's it's it's spinning statistics, right lies damn lies and spotify revenue as mark twain used to say as mark twain said ours Technica reports judge rois lambeth in washington dc ruled That country code top level domains cannot be transferred as part of a civil judgment the plaintiffs in rubin Versus the islamic republic of iran sought to have the top level domains not just for iran, but also syria and north korea transferred in compensation for damages that had been awarded in a previous case brought regarding a 1997 suicide bombing in jerusalem, which hamas a palestinian organization claimed responsibility for so this Is a very complex system of relationships But essentially the plaintiffs were claiming that iran backed hamas Therefore they were responsible iran wasn't paying the damages And therefore they should seize their domain as sort of a seizure of property in lieu of compensation The court determined that country code top level domains cannot be conceptualized apart from domain name services And you can't garnish a service and therefore they were not allowed to take the domains But can you imagine if they had Suddenly you could just sue in the united states because that's where ican is to take any country's domain away Yeah, it would have been a bad precedent. It would have been a really bad precedent tech crunch reports reddit ceo yishan yang has resigned and vester sam altman wrote on his blog today that yang resigned Do a do a disagreement about the price and location of a new reddit office It was hastened to add that they didn't want him to resign, but he did COO ellen pow has become interim ceo and co-founder alexa sohanian has returned as full-time executive chairman Microsoft said on twitter today quote we plan to upgrade all windows phone 8 devices to windows 10 in the future So there you go upgrade path assured Windows phone users it's good news Time now for some news from you these come from our sub reddit at daily tech news show reddit.com Another jay martin gave us the ars tectica story that digital rights activists are continuing To criticize at&t subsidiary cricket for preventing email from being protected by start tls by removing The start tls flag that causes the encryption to take effect EFF staff technologist jacob hoffman andries posted tuesday that isps must stop removing customer security measures start tls Is used by a lot of people because they believe it'll protect them from Things like nsa surveillance last week vpn provider golden frog petition to the fcc opposing the practice Say you need to stop them from doing that a golden frog engineer discovered the issue And there was a reminder in our october 15th show Listener patrick wolf wrote in to note that he had used sisco asa firewall software And an upgrade to that software broke start tls in a very similar way So patrick speculated maybe that was what was going on with cricket If you had to guess jason i mean i'm not even going to ask you to guess but it's either incompetence or maliciousness It's got to be one of the other because you shouldn't be removing a start tls flag, right? Yeah, no, I agree. It's got to be one of those two. Um, you know people that work on these things are smart and so You know and this stuff is this is heady stuff. So um, I I like to I just like to give People the benefit of the doubt and so i'm just I gotta think it's a is an accident Yeah, and maybe incompetence is a little harsh Because peter wolf is not incompetent I've been I've been talking with that guy for years And they were the folks who had an upgrade turn off the start tls flag that they didn't know was going to do that Uh, the question is you know, when did they know it and what did they do once they found out? So hopefully we get a little transparency into that. Yep, exactly TM 204 sent us a bbc article about physicists from the university of vienna Using the twist of a visible light beam to transmit information by laser through the skies above vienna Here's how it works twisted light photons or sometimes called orbital angular momentum. That's the twist Uh can twist like a corkscrew rather than just rotating one direction or another Researchers set up a green laser in a tower shown it on a special light modulator which twisted the beam twice When the light showed up on a screen three kilometers away It had a detectable pattern of dots Which the scientists used to transmit black and white images now that was just a test if it worked It could be used for fast transmission of data where separate channels could be sent Simultaneously the results were reported in the new journal of physics Even if you didn't understand any of that that last sentence Fast data with separate channels sent simultaneously is pretty exciting right? Yeah I mean well on tucker public. There's like about three topics that are destined to everybody will always click on space Um lasers and robots So lasers, you know if it involves lasers and it's going to make your data faster than absolutely people are going to be interested I'm interested peaks my interest immediately. Um, but like the and light also I mean lasers are light. Obviously as the story says, you know, I mean light is still untapped In terms of and there are You know, there is capability there of course to get faster and and you know Really really awesome stuff. So uh, yeah, hope to hear more on this We need we need vacuum filled fiber optics so that we can send data at the speed of light Yes, yes, please Easy right at the back yard just to hook up a green laser Oh, that's a look at the headlines All right, I have to I I've been complaining about this all morning to anybody who listened to me Uh, I think these in these facebook privacy policy is the most complex story It's not the most difficult story, but the most complex story we've had in a while Here's here's the basics of it facebook started their basics page at facebook.com Slash about slash basics available in 36 languages. They've got 15 animated tutorials more to come Trying to help people understand how to manage their privacy Uh, they're also as we mentioned earlier proposing a new simplified Uh policy for their terms and conditions for their data and for their cookie policy Uh within these new terms they address things like the buy button and how your information is treated there And your credit card being exposed to facebook what they're going to do with that information They have updated policies and more information on location collection as more people use mobile And they're asking for you to read through this stuff and give them comments and feedback over the next week november 20th Now lindsay, I know you were looking at it earlier. Uh, do you think a week is enough? Probably not uh 15 animated videos they were talking about I mean Not going to happen for most people So I don't I don't really see even Through all this I don't see people changing their behavior based on what they what they read You know, they're still going to use facebook for what they use facebook for Yeah, it's kind of an FAQ situation So I suppose you don't need to watch all 15 necessarily but I I actually made the notes here of all the different parts of the basics So under privacy basics, they have three parts. What others see about you? How others interact with you and what you see and under the what others see about you You can just deleting post profile friend list search likes and comments tagging account deactivation to deletion It's freaking complicated in there This is most people are going to look at this and their eyes are going to glaze over and they'll be like forget it I don't even I don't even want to know the problem is if I know the question. I have yes I'm probably going to be able to find it here and it's nicely laid out I don't want to give them credit for that like it's it's certainly easy to get around in and it's written in plain language But as far as like exposing people to things that they need to know that they don't need know that they need to know This is not going to do it Yeah, you know the funny thing is I thought I was thinking about this and I was thinking They probably had a people like a team of like 20 to 30 people that went off and you know made this thing And they probably had this mandate of like look This is but one of the things we get the most criticism for and let's like make this easier for people to understand um, but at the end of the day, I think that um, you know kind of what you know You're saying is that I don't know that it's going to change people's behavior yet Because there's no pain there. There's not like a pain for you know, um privacy Yeah for it being divulged and so until there's some tangible pain. I mean maybe people worry a little bit about You know, they're They're credit cards or you know those kinds of things being taken But people don't you know have this this overriding sense of Fear around privacy that makes them change their behavior yet kind of like lens was saying so Um, I think until there is that like you said tom I applaud it and I think that they're it's good that they're trying to make people um understand it But at the end of the day, it's still supremely complicated Kind of like the facebook site itself when you go to change your settings, you know Like yeah, you can change the settings on a lot of things but finding it is really tough And so, you know facebook's still having a tough time With with this idea of making things simple making things simple for sort of average user and uh And it takes a lot of sort of discipline to do that and they're struggle with it Yeah, the data policy they did a really good job of making it very easy to read The problem there isn't that I mean I want to give I want to give them full marks like good job taking the initiative Trying to make it simpler trying to improve it easier to understand plain language all of that great job The problem is it's still very complex And I don't know if I blame facebook for that terms and conditions are very often complex They're complex issues because you have to protect yourself in so many different ways So I'm not sure that anybody could have done better, but I'm not also not sure how much of an effect It may end up having it does seem Because in this basics area, they really hammer this home that getting people to adjust their advertising preferences Is an important part of this they're saying hey, we know you're concerned about your data being shared with advertisers They were the Pew research report out earlier this week saying that people are more concerned with what advertisers know about them Then they're actually concerned about what the government knows about them And they're saying look, they're not telling you you can turn it off But they're saying you can control your with with these preferences How and they're they're talking about expanding it to other countries these preferences are coming to australia canada france germany ireland the uk however You can't opt out from the facebook panel You have to go somewhere else to do it and Really the only thing you're controlling on that facebook ad preferences panel is whether your actions on facebook Get paired with ads for friends. You can say yes or no Yeah, not much. Yeah, right? There's not much you can do that. That's going to make a difference I think they could have boiled it down further. Honestly. I think they did a good job But I think they should have gone further. Like you said, there's three different policies. Yeah, there's still too many steps You have to go to yeah. Yeah, I think they got to keep trying on this Well, if you're interested if you're like wait a minute I didn't realize facebook allowed other people to track me Through facebook. Here's how you you get out of that. You visit the digital advertising alliance And you opt out That you can go to about ads dot info slash choices in the u.s Your ad choices dot ca slash choices in canada or your online choices dot eu and europe and give facebook credit on their advertising preferences panel They link to all of those And then for mobile you just got to turn them off in your settings for android You go to accounts google ads and then opt out of interest-based ads in ios You go to settings privacy advertising and select limit ad tracking Which doesn't sound like you're turning it off. It sounds like you're limited, but yeah, yeah, true So good step. They just got to take it further cmbc Lindsay you found this earlier. Uh cmbc reported facebook is the company the most concerns people In regard to collection of personal data. That was a poll conducted for cmbc by survey monkey and they did about 546 people randomly surveyed So maybe that's what facebook's trying to combat here I mean, we all say that facebook is the great privacy threat a lot, uh, and they're they're trying to combat that Do you think it succeeds? I don't know It's funny because if you look at your newsfeed you would not think that anyone has a concern for For privacy or what they're putting on there, you know, so um, I again kind of back to the behavior change you know, it's good on their part, but um Obviously people are worried about it. Um, I still don't think that they'll change their behavior because They love facebook and that's why they use it. Yeah To share that kind of stuff. So well, I'll give I'll give half marks I'll I'll give facebook a good job for at least making it easier and putting more things in front of people But the system is still complex. It's it's too. There's there's they've they've still got too much Benefit to expose people to make it like a one deal thing like turn off all my privacy Give me that give me that button like not turn off all my privacy, but turn it on protect me Yeah, complete privacy. Yep. Yeah Turn off is the default actually All right, let's look at the calendar tomorrow, november 14th netflix cuts off open api access There's a few things out there that we're still using it And most of them have been wound down samsung galaxy note edge will be released in the united states tomorrow AT&T is going to charge you 400 dollars on contract more than 900 dollars off contract That's more than like a 4 gigabyte ram Intel i3 laptop Sprint and t-mobile will start carrying the galaxy note edge for 800 dollars off contract us cellular and verizon have not yet announced pricing details And uh sony's playstation tv available in europe playstation tv being the essentially the vita In a box that you could connect to your television Our pick of the day comes from k rv hill who points out charity season is here And k rv hill says i wanted to pick my favorite desert bus for hope At desert bus dot org a comedy troupe playing the world's most boring video game for child's play charity It's in its eighth year and keeps getting bigger If you prefer different games check the schedule at child's play charity dot org to see a list of other webathons coming in the next Months, uh, but yeah, if you don't know about desert bus. Do you guys know desert bus? No Uh-uh This was part of an unreleased game From pennanteller in the 90s pennantellers smoke and mirrors It was supposed to come to sega in april 1995 and they were going to do pc and 3do versions. That's how old it is Whoa, yeah It included a lot of like trick games and one of the Then was bus which was a game where you drove a bus at 45 miles an hour from tusan to las vegas in real time With no passengers when you got to vegas you got one point And then you could turn the bus around and drive back to tusan in real time The fun part of the game is that the bus has uh a misaligned steering wheel So it kind of pulls to the right So you can't just leave the joystick in position. You have to continually Adjust the steering so that the bus stays on the road because if the bus goes off the road A tow truck shows up and starts towing it back to your your starting point in real time Oh, man Whoa, okay. Yeah, I think the only event is a bug hits the windshield halfway between Do you get points for the bugs how many bugs you I don't think so No, you only get a point for showing up in the city Anyway, so the comedy troupe does this because it's the world's most boring video game And they're trying to raise money for charity And then they have they do a lot of riffing and talking and having fun while they play it And then you can sit there and and actually watch without having to play it yourself And see what it's like Yeah, so thank you caravihill For sending that along you could send your picks to feedback at daily tech news show dot com And you can find my picks at daily tech news show dot com slash picks by the way bio cow says it pulls to the left Not the right. That's my mistake I obviously have not played enough desert bus And I won't ever play enough desert bus Our message is of the day first one comes from max A little comment on the amazon echo and voice enabled computers I was one of the Kickstarter backers for the ubi and have had it for a while now It does a similar thing with voice activation. You don't have to touch it. You just tell it. He says sadly It has not been what I hope for not that it has it has anything wrong with the ubi in particular But since I always listen to music or podcasts, it prevents me from talking to the ubi I do think most people have some noise around them And if you're not alone You will have to tell the people around you to be quiet for you to be able to talk to the computer It also tends to go off every once in a while due to something being said in my room by someone or the tv There's also the issue of the distance to the mic When you move around in your home or office I think that the future of this is in wearables since both mic and speakers need to be close to be useful Shouting or hearing responses all over the house is not practical If you're not alone jarvis is what we all want But I have a hard time believing it being possible without having microphones and speakers installed everywhere And maybe it also needs to recognize who is allowed to give it commands just some thoughts from someone with an experience with the ubi Thank you max. I appreciate that sort of report from the field Amazon says that it's beam forming is going to help with this, but I can't I mean I've had problems with the xbox same way Yeah, um, I mean this is again getting at some of this uh next generation interface and living room stuff And this is I mean as we think about You know interfaces and what they look like and where they go I mean this is where the rubber meets the road on a lot of this stuff So it's this is great feedback This is the stuff that all these people that are working on these kind of problems You know need to be thinking about I need to be realizing I'm sure some of them do in the labs and they're testing But you know the best way to really get it is to hear users You know having their issues and and then um, you know solving those so um, good, so There's a lot. Yeah, there's been a lot of studies done on mimicking the human ability to pick out a voice in a noisy room So that needs to make more, uh progress I guess Yeah Got an email from steve boland in st. Paul minnesota. I assume it's minnesota. He didn't actually say could be st Paul anymore actually Uh, and he was responding to our pick of the day about amazon smile Which allows part of your purchases to go to charity Steve says that 0.5 percent donation for most nonprofits won't add up to much money But it's important to think beyond just the cash that gives that is given for charities when these opportunities come up nonprofits may do financially better as an amazon affiliate But the smile program offers a chance to get introduced to new audiences if their smile Info is correct. He says however many charities already in the database have out of date information And this can be confusing should anyone stumble across them when exploring the idea of smile Community organizations which have paid attention to keeping their public data up to date will do better with the pr value Of asking for donations than perhaps they would with the small percentage of stales. He says I do this stuff for a living Uh, so yeah, thank you steve. I appreciate The update on that. That's really cool this one I sort of amazon needs to do a little bit better job of this because I have the one kiva is the one that I have chosen for mine on this Yeah, and a great charity and But it's like it prompts me to to actually use it. I can't just tell it. Oh, yeah, everything I do just kiva Right. It's always like would you like to use smile this time? Yeah Yeah, I notice that go to that and then order your thing there. And so, um, I know face or amazon's not, um You know Incented to do it that way, but I wish they would just let you say, okay. Yeah opt-in. I want to do this apply this to all of my Now I'm sorry. Go ahead. I said, oh, anyway, that's an amazon problem. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, definitely Rob wrote in regarding, uh, people talking about the fact that their Voice activated assistants may accidentally go off as was mentioned in the earlier email Rob says I'm a couple of days behind here, but regarding the hey And I'm going to put a pause in Siri conundrum I feel slightly smug every time you mentioned it because I have my system language set to french And it therefore it doesn't activate Siri You can ask patrick beija how to do so if you like but my suggestion to circumvent the issue is simply learn french Bonus then you can listen to the rendezvous tech as well So you go problem solves problem solve until everyone learns french And then everyone's talking in french on their podcast and then it sets off your thing again It's a never-ending circle Well, thank you everybody for writing. Uh, thanks to you guys jason heiner and lindsay gilpin The title of the book they're working on is called follow the geeks and you can follow it at follow the geeks book Dot com the twitter account is at follow the geeks facebook.com slash follow the geeks book as well Love all that information in the show notes.
