 Hey, it's Monday We're very excited. So positive about Monday, right Veronica. Yeah So excited, I guess I'll cheer you up though fighting robots I'm in. All right. Let's do this Do I remember how to do this? I do here we go Australians have you ever wondered what a nickel is? Apparently it's five cents So give it to Tom at patreon.com slash ace detect This is the Daily Tech news for Monday, July 6th, 2015. I'm Tom Merritt joining me today She does most Mondays not every Monday, but most Mondays Veronica Belmont host of dear Veronica on a gadget co-host of the sword and laser science fiction and fantasy book club and as a meant just mentioned Monday contributor. How goes it Veronica? Very well. How was your fourth of July weekend? It was a patriotic full of cowering dogs and pie and Explosions. Yeah, the oatmeal was definitely out in force with his Anti-fireworks for dogs campaigning once again this year. He's very sensitive the the comic Artists the oatmeal to the needs of pets during this patriotic time. I Live in a great place for seeing all the fireworks not up close But like you can just kind of look around and see like seven different celebrations. It's pretty cool No, that's nice. I did not see any fireworks. I was up in Anderson Valley Up in the northern part of of the Sonoma Napa region She take you and I did not know she stayed with a friend here in San Francisco She was fine. She doesn't care. She's never fireworks have never bothered her. It's only Django really cares All right, but enough about dogs fireworks and Independence Day in the United States of America Let's get to the headlines so we can get to fighting robots Hey, the Guardian reports attackers took control of the Twitter account of Italian security firm hacking team and then Posted allegations that they took control of more than that Saying they have 400 gigabytes of documents that they accessed from Hacking team hacking team says it provides tools to police organizations and other government agencies that can prevent crimes or terrorism Hence the target on their back posted documents appeared to be emails invoices even some screenshots Some of which showed dealings with countries like Ethiopia and Sudan Christian Patsy of hacking team tweeted that a lot of what is being posted is not true Well, that's very convenient to say The hackers also had changed the hacking team Twitter profile to read hacked team. Yeah, that was cute There was a little fun poking at them as well I mean this kind of hacking team has a controversial reputation And a lot of these documents show that maybe they've been doing dealings with governments that they shouldn't have been or maybe violating export controls So there's a lot of people that have a motivation to make this company look bad Yeah, and you know sometimes just between different hacking groups There's little battles for dominance or just to or one upmanship So this is not surprising And I'm sure this will not be the end of it either this thing kind of goes back and forth Christian Patsy who I I just mentioned also had his Twitter account hacked So yeah bad time to be working at hacking team. I would indeed At last it is the time for rejoicing Sinha reports that Instagram will let you share pictures that are 1080 pixels by 1080 pixels The first improvement since Instagram launched supporting 640 by 640 resolution The feature is gradually rolling out and let's everybody take a moment to enjoy this terrific update before We start grousing about the lack of support for multiple accounts and things of that nature. Why can I get portrait land or landscape? I want landscape mode. Well, you got to get you got to get something like square ready There's lots of third-party apps that make that kind of thing much easier. I don't want to have to use a third-party app I'm gonna go Molly wood on you and say I just want it to be inside the app Hey, it breeds innovation allowing third-party apps to develop around these kinds of issues Doesn't it Tom look who woke up on the look at the positive side of things Yeah, no, this is actually what you're gonna dispute that. Oh, no, I'm a killing. No, I'm No, I was really happy that they finally enabled us to be able to edit comments You know if you the first comment that you post on an Instagram page You can now go back and add hashtags you missed or fix a spelling error That was a major thing that drove me crazy throughout the years. So that was my favorite improvement I don't you know 10 1080 by 1080. That's great If you're a photographer doesn't really affect me that much just a regular user posting dumb selfies all the time But I appreciate that they are upping their game a little bit. Yeah, I like the increased resolution I would just like it to be able to support a landscape. Yeah TechCrunch reports that Amazon has added an iOS app for its cloud drive Service Android apps for Google Play and the Amazon app store already showed up in June and the iOS app Became available over the weekends and now they're all there The apps are fairly basic offering a simplified folder list and a way to view and share files But you still don't get things like editing moving files around uploading for mobile automatic sync None of that stuff users can also play music and videos stored on cloud drive without having to use separate apps Amazon's unlimited everything plan cost $60 a year if you just want photos They already have the photos app that one only cost you $12 a year Amazon making baby steps towards this stuff, but still not in the same playing ground as one drive or drop box or box Yeah, and in fact I think they really have to find a way to kind of stand out from those services though I find myself continually using Google Drive and drop box in tandem together for different things So, you know, there always is room for for a new major player in that field if they do something a little different That the others don't do that's still convenient. I just don't enjoy having to pay for multiple services But you know who does really we have more Amazon news coming up later in the show as well. Yeah, it's it's you know It's cheap at $60 a year though. I'd like them to get more features. That's that's it's not I would say that's not cheap You think that's cheap. Oh, it's unlimited storage. Oh unlimited. Oh, right I apologize Amazon you win this round The Verge reports that it has sources that say Microsoft is finalizing Windows 10 for manufacturers this week Once the release to manufacturing RTM build is ready Microsoft will send the final copy of Windows 10 to its PC partners ahead of a release to the public on July 29th The Windows 10 bug fixes and updates will continue even after that Microsoft also announced its music service formerly Xbox music will be named groove in Windows 10 Okay, and Xbox video gets the snappy rename of movies and TV So wait The music app was renamed groove and the movie and TV app was renamed movies and TV No Xbox video Yeah, but it's essentially the movie a TV app and TV app. Yeah, so sad So the new Microsoft group got to rename the music app and the old Microsoft group got to rename the movie and TV. Yeah, I like that. They're just like hey, this is what it is It's the movies and TV app. What do you know? That's very classic Microsoft there Microsoft. What's up with groove though? I don't know They're running out of music words like in this space and so That to me, I'm not a huge fan of the word groove. It makes me think of the 70s and anyway Windows 10 RTM They've been really revving through the insider version of it to the point where you've probably got the next best thing to the RTM in your hands right now. So getting getting close to final cool The next web reports Bitcoin engineer Ryan X Charles wrote on medium that he worked on a decentralized version of reddit That used Bitcoin to fund people's hosting of content when he was at Reddit. He's no longer there Reddit would under this plan have no longer controlled content outside of what it wished to host in its official reddit Company version of the service. This is suspicious suspiciously close to what Fred Wilson was describing on a VC.com today He was predicting there that a decentralized media platform using the blockchain Would happen soon. He thinks it's an inevitability Meanwhile Reddit CEO Ellen Powell posted an apology and another promise that Reddit will improve tools and communication with moderators And in fact a new moderator advocate role will serve as a point of contact for mods I hear Victoria Taylor is looking for a gig. Maybe she'd be too soon too soon Too soon. Yeah, there's reddit. Oh, boy. I do not want to be Ellen Powell at this point in time I'm not a pleasant time. No, yeah, I don't know. I Can't imagine this is going to end well for her. I just can't if I want continuing on this track. I Don't know. I think I think it's gonna come back. I think the AMA subreddit people handled it very well That's what I'm gonna say Okay, you you're allowed to have an opinion on this, you know, I don't have to skirt the issue I have a strong feeling No, I don't because I don't really have a strong feeling about the admins at reddit I think they're they're fine. I think that it was a raw deal for Victoria Taylor and we don't really know what happened there So it's hard to have an opinion when you don't have all the facts On the other hand, I think what up from what I know of what the AMA people did and how they handled it They did they did a good job. Well done. I Have opinions about things. I don't understand the facts on Moving on Mojang has announced a whole new version of Minecraft Specifically for Windows 10 according to CNET the new version will feature creative and survival modes as well as online and local Multiplayer with the pocket edition It also adds multiple control setups a game DVR and a built-in feedback system So players can let Mojang know what they like and what they don't a beta version of the game launches on July 29th For $10 and will be free for owners of the existing Minecraft game Wow, so this is this is well done, right? If you're gonna come out with a new version The biggest complaint will be I have to buy the game all over again And they're totally subverting that and it's even cheap if you never did buy the original Minecraft. So a Nice bit of Jiu Jitsu here Kind of distracting us all from the idea of will it be any good will we like this new version? Do we need a new version? I don't know do we need one I mean, I guess if it somehow optimizes for Windows 10, but I'm not really sure what it would need to do to do that That would be so different But I'm also not an expert Minecraft dude So I don't really know what they're looking for for a newer version or if they're happy with the way things are It seems as though they're pretty content The earlier Xbox version, I remember was much more dumbed down or was that the iOS version? Yeah, the iOS version was for sure. So who knows I I want to get back into it at some point Maybe this will be my entree back into the world of Minecraft Windows 10 launches new Minecraft launches July 29th We'll start the new world I Google launched its first Android one device in Pakistan in partnership with Q-Mobile according to the Express Tribune the Q-Mobile a1 now available at retail stores across Pakistan comes with a four and a half inch touch screen a 1.3 gigahertz quad core processor a five megapixel rear camera with an LED flash two megapixel front camera gig a ram and eight gigs of built-in memory It's dual SIM phone runs Android 5.1 aka lollipop and will cost you eleven thousand five hundred Pakistani rupees Which roughly is about a hundred thirteen bucks us? Okay, cool and read one just you know conquering more countries. I like it there goes doing its thing The Wall Street Journal or in this case the Wall Street join all reports that McDonald's Corp Really, you're just gonna call out my typo right there. Okay, fine. No, that's fine It just was funny join all the Wall Street join all the Wall Street Journal reports that McDonald's Corp and Yom Brands Inc Are testing digital payment options in China? McDonald's will test mobile ordering and payment under a pilot program in the current third quarter The aim is to speed payment and meet customer demands Yum said its KFC business began partnering with Ali Baba Group holding LTD in June to launch mobile payment services for 700 stores in China Customers can pay for their in-store orders with scanning barcodes generated by Ali Baba's mobile payment application Ali pay So this is this is actually really important stuff that you're seeing these big companies starting to roll out of mobile payment services It's obviously a big deal for Ali Baba to partner with a big Chain a Yum Brands is KFC. It's Taco Bell all restaurants will eventually become Taco Bell So you want to partner with them? Good job Yes ECN MAG reports Dan Bachel and if I'm mispronouncing the name I apologize He's a mechanical engineer at the US Army Research Laboratory is testing something called Max Fass MAX FAS Which is a mechatronic arm exoskeleton designed to train new soldiers to shoot After subjects wore Max Fass then performed a shooting trial tremor Was lessened Max Fass is modeled from a robotic device that trains arm motion of stroke victims at the University of Delaware Bachel hopes someday that Max Fass could be used in the field under adverse conditions to steady your hand This goes into our main topic today of exoskeletons and mechatronic arms I'm super fascinated by this kind of stuff And in fact maybe we'll do more on that in the future because I know some guys I know some guys working on some pretty cool stuff that maybe you're gonna come out with an exoskeleton. Aren't you? Yes You can feel exactly what it's like to be me which is sad. Wow Anyway, it's time for some news from you, right? These come from our subreddit daily tech news show reddit.com as do many of the stories Obviously the hacking team story was number one on the subreddit today Everybody's interested in that but if you are like wait a minute. There's so much tech news out there We can't cover every single story Most days there's more interesting things than we can fit so we try to give you a good variety We try to hit the high points and one of the ways we try to figure out what to choose is looking at our subreddit So get in there and vote There's more than 5,000 folks signed up for it daily tech news show dot reddit.com ECF 88 sent us this one the next web and Buzzfeed report that Greece's temporary capital controls Which are currently restricting Greek citizens from taking money out of the country Also mean Greek citizens can't use their credit cards in the online store of a foreign country several people in Greece have tweeted that their credit cards were declined in Apple's online store and PayPal has issued a Statement saying that funding of PayPal wallets from Greek bank accounts is currently not available. I mean this has been just a tremendously incredible New story for Greece in general, especially with the voting on the referendum voting. No You know, nobody really knows what any of this is going to mean or how it's going to turn out for them I can't imagine it's going to be a good next couple of years It's gonna be really rough for the for the people of Greece people are saying that this could be Worse for them than the Great Depression was for us and just think about that for a minute. That's incredible Well, how did we get here? That's that's a whole financial podcast to figure out how we got there. I think what is what is Immediately curious to me from the tech angle on this is that we think of the internet as being region-free, right? And so if you're living in Greece and you're part of the European Union And you're having a fight between your country and the European Union and they decide to come in and like limit What you can take out of ATMs and allow only pensioners to withdraw 60 euros a day And and put capital controls in place saying okay companies can't pull money Out of the country right now. You don't think that's going to affect the internet But it absolutely does and and it makes me think of all these other region controls We have where VPNs get you around it bank accounts. Obviously. It's pretty easy to tell where they are But if you were I guess if you're I wonder if there was anybody wise enough to move money into an external bank accounts They could keep using PayPal and I oh, you know, I'm sure there have to be this will be a developing story throughout the next You know Several months year as we kind of find out what the ramifications of this are and how it affects the internet There's there's so much untread territory here for for something like this to happen in this age So it'll be very very strange and interesting to watch. I think moving forward. Yeah All right moving on Star Fury Zeta sent us the engadget report that in celebration of Amazon's 20th birthday on July 15th The company will host a global shopping event for Amazon Prime members with allegedly more deals than Black Friday If you're not an Amazon Prime member you can sign up for the free 30-day trial and experience the magic of wait for it prime day Prime After after our last discussion though, I immediately want to just say not in Greece or not But it seems like not a very good matchup of stories than that. No Nothing you could do well with the economic collapse of Greece. Yeah It's a weird thing for Amazon to I mean I get they're celebrating their birthday right July 15. Okay, fine I get that But to try to invoke the spirit of Black Friday somehow nobody likes Black Friday Hey, I mean does anyone really like have positive associations people like saving monies and people line up in great numbers So I assume there are people that like it out there But I haven't spoken with many of them even the people who go get in line often when I talk to them or like I'm gonna go get in line, you know and people people do shop and they think I Take it back. I know some people who got pretty excited about getting bargains on Black Friday So I don't know Amazon must feel like they're gonna make a lot of money off this. Oh, yeah, I mean, I'm a prime member I'm a subscriber. I don't know what these deals are gonna be But I'm like, what should I just not buy anything for another week and a half like do I wait? Do I hold off on everything suddenly Amazon sales plummet in the weeks leading up? Yeah, cuz I I weren't getting the same-day shipping now here in San Francisco, which is pretty incredible You order something and then it shows up at your door that day And you're like, how are you even doing that? There is the with that weird feeling when Something shows up faster too. Like you only select two-day shipping, but it shows up the same day I've had that happen to me a couple times now. Yeah, I've had it come where I something arrives the next day And it's so fast that I forgot that I was waiting for something Like wait, did I order? Oh, yes like three hours ago. I ordered that weird. It's crazy. That's prime day Anyway, good good stunt there Amazon That's a little bad last All right last week megabots issued a challenge to How do you say this Veronica? Suitabashi? Suitabashi? Suitabashi heavy industry To have a large robot fight They both make huge robots and Suitabashi heavy industry has accepted megabots challenge For a year from now some time to have a fight The megabots mark 2 is a 12,000 pound 5 meter high robot that requires two pilots a gunner sits in front and the driver sits in back Whereas Suitabashi's Kuritas is one pilot weighs 9,000 pounds and is 4 meters high So it's a little bit smaller Veronica is that why you think? Suitabashi responded accepting the challenge but saying no guns Yes, there has definitely been some limitations put on the upcoming duel This war between nations one could say between the United States and their arc robot rival Japan Yes, but the Kuritas is much in a much smaller weight class one could argue and so Yes, and so for it to be a fair fight They're asking for guns to be emitted from the battle and melee combat only to be allowed So this definitely gives quite a handicap to the megabot because guns are kind of its thing and in fact Kurata kurata kurata san from Suitabashi says that You know, it's very American to put big guns on all the things So a little dig there a little dig at our national pride of putting giant guns on all of our things Title guns on all the things on all the things Megabots co-founder geek have a Conti told quartz quote the fight is on We have to work out the ground rules and figure out how not to die But the fight is on because remember there are people inside these things We'll be releasing more information soon as we work through some of the logistics So I guess he's saying we accept the condition, right? Yeah, he hasn't come out and really well I mean he did say the fight is on so that to me leads me to believe that the the conditions have been accepted Though nothing really official has come out. They haven't released another YouTube video kind of saying alright Yes, we agree to melee combat. You know, we'll take the guns off We won't use them though. I think if they do remove the guns That would be a pretty good way of cutting down on some of the weight and making a little more even perhaps But yeah, they have very different fighting styles. I think you know megabot is all about shooting things up and and Kura toss is all about kind of crunching things and and coming at it from a different fighting perspective But you know when it comes to giant robots, there aren't too many contenders in the ring at this point so to speak So it really I mean these are the two we want to see go head to head Now you you're right about there being more guns and obviously they're being room for it a separate gunner in the megabots mark 2 However, it only shoots paintballs. Whereas the Kura toss shoots 6,000 round per minute BB gatling guns controlled with the pilot's smile That's a different definitely a different fighting technique. Yes And I think the more you fight the more you win the more you smile Therefore it really ratchets up the ultimate firepower of that particular giant robot But yeah, I mean we have to look at this from a historical perspective. What are these two competitors really bringing to the ring? What does this battle mean for us Tom? Yeah, megabots is a little newer They want to create the first robot fighting league hence the challenge They attempted to kickstart a fighting league in November They fell far short raised 65,000 of the 1.8 million they were seeking However, the founder of megabots did previously successfully kickstart Stompy a giant rideable walking robot in September 2012 That is about 83% done as of November not sure if we'll see Stompy before this whole thing goes under way Everybody else at megabots is pretty much donating their time to work on this Whereas the Sudabashi heavy industry they unveiled Kuritas in 2012 demonstrated at the wonder festival Megabots did demonstrate Their mark to at the maker fair recently But what I'm trying to say here Veronica Sudabashi heavy industry They may have a slightly smaller bot, but they have the experience they aim to spread the human ride robots They mass produce and sell prototype Kuritas And when you look at the control systems, you're talking about some you know pretty normal Joystick like controls in the cab of the megabot mark 2 Whereas Sudabashi heavy industry uses a 3g touchscreen phone as the primary interface for remote control and an onboard user interface with a connect Base device hence the ability to shoot with a smile. Yes Yes, you know, I really think that the Japanese as usual have a bit of a technological one Upmanship on us in this particular battle though as tinvec says in the chat room. It would really be unfair to use Live rounds or or guns of any kind when there's people riding in the cabins Because typically if they're going to be used as an assault vehicle That makes sense to be able to have guns and shoot at inanimate objects But if it's if it's you know head-to-head robot combat and there are you know fleshy humans inside the robots That could give an extra level of danger to the occupants Are you aware of if megabot has a remote control capability or is it only human driven by the by the two pilots? I did not see any evidence of remote control capability. That doesn't mean it couldn't be done It's it's it's operated with a laptop so at the very worst you could VNC in there I would expect and and create some kind of remote control But it really is built to be driven by humans Hence the cockpit situation where the gunners out front where they can see where they're shooting and the driver is Behind with monitors so they can actually get a better view than they would even if they were sitting with a clear view So megabot not meant to be remote controlled. I would assume that Both of the I mean they'd sudubashi did not put in a condition of remote control I would assume these would be pilot driven Hmm. Yes, interesting But we do have an entire year for this story to continue developing that is kind of when they have set The the epic battle of sorts to take place We don't know yet where the fight will happen whether it'll be here on American soil Or if it will be across the seas in Japan or he'll be at some kind of neutral Meeting ground of sorts. I don't know perhaps in Europe for example a midway point or Hawaii Which would be even more amazing Let's do it in Hawaii and live stream from there. I'm getting let's go cover it I think if it's in Hawaii, can we make that a patreon goal? I think so. I think that should happen Live coverage of the giant robot battle So yeah, I am personally very excited to see how this develops over the next year. I you know I haven't really picked a side yet. I am a I am a fan of Japanese culture. I enjoy their their robot making prowess And however, I do feel some, you know patriotic desire to support my fellow Americans I don't really know where I fall on this Tom. Have you have you picked a side in this particular battle? I'm gonna try to stay above it all which means I have to be very high because these are rather tall At least six meters up. I Do think that the patriotic appeal of both of these videos Speaks to to the hearts of their countries and it would be hard If you're in one of these countries not to pick your own side I'm curious people outside of Japan in the United States where they would fall It's similar to what you know the elephant in the room is the United States won the women's World Cup yesterday against Japan Immediately following that game. We had the acceptance video come up from Sudabashi heavy industry You could look at this as a response. I think you could be correct as well. I think it is it is a Conveniently timed in many ways perhaps to win back some some glory for for Japan, you know After this crushing defeat in women's women's soccer Yeah, and as tensor guy points out The American one is heavier and has more guns. It always has more guns. We like guns on things It's kind of see American way kind of what they do here in the land of the free and the home of the Really big people with guts Yeah, no, this is a honesty. This is gonna be amazing. I hope they're able to work it out logistically Because anybody who enjoyed Pacific Rim despite its great plot problems is gonna want to see this happen Yeah, we need to put that cat the Pacific Rim cat gif somewhere in the show notes. I'll send it to you later On the planet Excellent Let's move on to our pick of the day from Nias who sends us lots of great picks. Thank you Yes, I know we don't use every single one you send you send too many good things This one Nia says you know how we can get the special characters like the spades symbol or musical notes or the percent sign Using the built-in character map apps or even selecting special fonts like webdings on a desktop This has always been more difficult on a mobile device enter no Tango and yay at M dot N O T E N G O E N I E Dot-com They have a set of special characters not a very exhaustive one He says that we might need quickly while composing something on a mobile device I've used this web app so many times it is on the top of my bookmarks sometimes owing to the sheer convenience of it I even use it while I'm on my desktop So if you've been looking around for the end yay single the little curly cue on top of the end Or a pound symbol or a euro symbol or the sigma symbol or musical notes or a heart Or the yen symbol go to M dot no Tango anya calm They're taking away. Yeah, look at them all They have everything there now granted if you're gonna use these a lot you should learn the keyboard or shortcut But that's not gonna help you necessarily on your phone Sometimes you can you can long press maybe on a keyboard and get it up there that might be working better for you But this is a this a handy reference. So thank you. Yes M dot no Tango anya. That's N O T E N G O E N I E That's anya calm Send your picks to feedback at daily tech news show calm and you can find my picks at daily tech news show comm slash picks Got one message of the day before out of here Jonathan says hey Tom Jenny and Veronica Roger ask someone who commutes over an hour one direction every day for work I am I'm sorry as someone who commutes for over an hour every direction every day for work I am all in for self-driving cars the efficiencies of metering traffic and having cars adjusted traffic conditions would be great Not to mention I can't wait until we get to the point that I could have that hour of sleep back in the morning While the car gets me to where I'm going all of that sounds great as we go down the path of our eventual robot Overlords delivering us like packages on drones. However as a motorcycle rider I don't want to get to a point of riding without me in control Even if we do start getting self-driving motorcycles, it would take the fun out of the experience So while I look forward to the benefits, I hope we never get to a day where manual driving is not possible or even legal Thank you. Have a great day Jonathan What do you think Veronica? I mean I We talked about this before and we talked about you know Driving parks and a lot of people wrote in and like well there are driving parks and there there are to a certain extent But I'm thinking of something much bigger Than what we have now more than just racetracks or or closed courses Do you think that it ever becomes a point where they say no, that's just too dangerous? No, I don't think they'll really I think a closed course is kind of what I was imagining when we were discussing that last week I Yeah, I don't really foresee that anyone would be like well, that's not that's not ever going to be allowed I find that kind of hard to believe there's always going to be you know Specialty groups and hobbyist clubs and people who want to experience You know take the risk into their own hands and drive their motorcycles or their cars Yeah, as we do it in these days on a closed course of sorts In the future, so I'm not sure I get where a motorcycle rider would think about this particularly right because the idea right now is Well, I drive my car to work and back and I want something to take the place of that And then maybe on the weekend I'll go out into the countryside and drive around in my car But if you drive a motorcycle part of the pleasure of having a motorcycle is just driving it around all the time that freedom to lane Split and do all that sort of things self-driving motorcycles do not seem to offer the same advantages that self-driving cars would I'm sneezing. Sorry. I had to mute myself. It's nothing to sneeze at Veronica. I know I apologize I apologize. Anyway, thank you Jonathan for riding in And hopefully they won't take your motorcycle away anytime and thank you Veronica Belmont for sneezing and being on a show I apologize. Yeah, I got a little like a little tickle at the end there If you didn't hear me talking it was because I was muting myself for your own good everybody Host of Dear Veronica on Engadget and Gadget.com go check it out.
