 Buttons and stuff like the Amish aren't But yeah No, they had buttons. They had like things like they are allowed. You said, okay I think I thought you I thought you bet they were loud like really colorful and plough Oh, no, well like the women's outfits can be can have patterns in them that in the way But very similar if you're not looking too closely and Yeah, one time they were just all standing outside at a church and if totally felt like a scene out of witness This is like what it's like all that's right Was witness out at that time. No witnesses out like 12 years prior to that or no 10 years prior to that Oh, okay. I got you. So it's just like Waymo has no smoking gun you mean a gun that can stop smoking. Oh Oh Activision has its earnings $1.88 per share up from a dollar 85 adjusted revenue of 6.33 billion up from 6.30 billion Analysts that expected less Overwatch drove all the results Yeah Good it was good positive Call of Duty call of duty and overwatch made the money To come back with Call of Duty back to the WW2 roots See how well that works out for them after touching the future they said to go back to the past Why don't they do Call of Duty like Byzantine or Mesopotamian or Egyptian period? Running around in the chariot lobbing spears Running around on a chariot lobbing spears It's just sound like good is Britney's uncle What? You are giving me crap. I know I know it was you yesterday. It's me today. I Tables of dirt. All right. Are you ready to do this or mr. Young let's draw this They All right Controllers yours mr. Chang here we go The Daily Tech news shows brought to you by listeners just like me and you not outside organizations to find out how you can contribute Visit Daily Tech news show comm forward slash support This is the Daily Tech news for May the 4th 2017 I'm Tom Merritt may the 4th be with you Justin Robert Young But it's great to be here Tom and I'm very very excited to bring everybody yet another full buffet of tech news Yes, we have stocked all of the chafing dishes filled to the brim with quantum computing and SMS vulnerabilities and even even an altruistic story our main topic today about a man who struggled with the right thing to Do morally with some source code he came across a modern morality tale. Yeah, every facet Well, let's start with a few tech things you should do about Researchers at the University of Science and Technology of China at Hefe Describe building a specialized quantum computer to model the movement of photons at a rate 24,000 times faster than a conventional computer They can't do as many of photons as a conventional one yet, but they're getting there Awesome US District Court judge William Alsup said he does not see any smoking gun that uber Conspired with Anthony Levandowski to steal trade secrets from Waymo and said that he is considering whether to send Waymo's claims To arbitration Waymo of course was formally known as Google self-driving car initiative I feel like judge Alsup is just tired of all of them and he's like, you know what? I'm just gonna go deliberate on this with myself. Get out of get out of my car Sprint is making an LTE signal booster called the magic box Available to qualifying customers for free. They're gonna start with businesses But it will come to consumers eventually the magic box has a dedicated cellular channel rather than using a customer's home broadband Yeah, they've got the magic box if you can call once you can call twice. Thanks to the boost now Here are some more top stories last month Imagination technologies announced it would lose business from Apple over the next two years as Apple brings GPU Manufacturing from old devices in-house. That's not the news today. If you're like, wait a minute. You already told me that Well, yeah, we told you that last month Thursday Imagination announced it will sell its embedded processor business and its mobile and Internet of Things patent licensing arm That's step one to dealing with all of this business loss step two imagination is beginning a formal dispute resolution procedure in the hopes of convincing Apple to license some of its graphics patents They've been negotiating behind the scenes and Apple keeps telling them. No, we don't need your license We can we can design our graphics processors without your patents Imagination finds that hard to believe They also find it hard to believe that Apple is taking away 60% of their revenue, which is what Apple accounted for last year Side note to this Bloomberg reports Qualcomm may bearing its dispute with Apple over licensing Qualcomm is apparently not licensing its modem technology on fair terms according to Apple there They're in various lawsuits about that Qualcomm might go to the US International Trade Commission And when you go to the ITC you generally ask for a ban So they may ask for a ban on imports of iPhones and all the iPhones are made overseas So it'd be a ban on new iPhones come in in the US Usually those bands don't last they end up causing people to settle if the ITC issues them But here we go Apple in licensing. It's not licensing hell, but it's a fighting several licensing battles on multiple fronts And this is really the strong that the strong suit from his background of CEO Tim Cook He was the supply chain guy that understood these deals not only in terms of where they need to license, but also the best financial Relationships that they could have to get these parts together and into the United States But at the same time when you are Apple and you have a a hard-nosed Strategy when it comes to negotiating these kinds of deals and The kind of cash on hand that could buy and sell most Hemispheres yes many many GDPs do not equal the amount of cash Apple has on hand then these companies really even gigantic companies Like walk walk on is no no no shrinking violet I mean imagination obviously something that's going to be affected greatly by Apple going elsewhere But we're in-house but Qualcomm's a gigantic company. What do they have to lose? Other than to play hardball with Apple and you know at this point going to a governing commission that could ban all-new iPhone imports is Effectively the alright. Let's see who blinks first move. Oh, yeah, no the Qualcomm plays hardball, too Witness our discussion from last week where we talked about the reason that that Google has to drop support for Android Faster than anyone would like is in part due the fact that Qualcomm just doesn't want to do the drivers after 18 months For its older hardware and they have that power So you've got yeah, you've got the the the hardball playing scrappy 27 Yankees in the Apple team But you've also got Ty Cobb's Detroit Tigers for Qualcomm These are the kind of metaphors that you could only get here a daily tech news show. Do you think that this matters? Ultimately No, I Mean it's not gonna phones are getting banned or no no no iPhones are getting banned, right? Yeah I mean ITC reports if you haven't heard of them before go back into the mid-2000s of oh, they're gonna ban Nokia's from coming in, right? Usually what happens is if the ITC issues a ban it doesn't take place immediately and It often only applies to older models of things Sometimes things that aren't even really shipping anymore But just because of the nature of the way patents work and it's it's almost always just used as leverage to get a negotiation done So this is Qualcomm just raising its game and and trying to call Apple's bluff I don't think it's going to affect us. I don't think it's gonna stop iPhones for being sold in the United States The imagination thing that's just a last-ditch effort, right? You know, that's a Hail Mary pass Because I know I was doing baseball metaphors, but I'm switching to football. Okay, just just deal with it Imagination is like we're we're going out of business if we don't come up with revenue So sell what we can sell and put as much pressure on Apple as we can afford to try to get some money out of them because otherwise their only recourse is to look at what Apple does after that and try to find some kind of Proof that they are right the technology that they had Contracted with and that's even more expense, you know, because then you get into Protracted court battles and as you mentioned Apple doesn't doesn't fold in these things No, and they have no reason to and they have all the money to pay the lawyers forever Meanwhile in Apple news in an interview with CNBC's Jim Kramer Apple CEO Tim Cook announced that the company will start a One billion dollar fund to promote advanced US manufacturing They're like we weren't gonna buy Qualcomm with that money, but instead we'll do this just because they're being such Weenies we're just gonna spend it on whatever That's editorial Apple is in talks with a firm to invest in although Cook did not say who Cook also said Apple plans to fund programs that teach people to code Ah Apple bringing manufacturing to the United States and and transitioning the workforce into coders, right? They are they are Doing what they can to try to change that conversation about the 216 billion dollars that they've got in cash Mostly stored overseas They're not gonna repatriate that they just aren't they've said as much But what they don't want to be seen as is not supporting US industry at a time when there's a lot of nationalist sentiment about that So throwing a billion dollars out there, even though it's one 216th of your cash on hand Sounds big and it sounds like it could bring jobs I'm very curious what this actually ends up meaning Billion dollars is a lot of money for a lot of people and a lot of companies Apple is not one of those companies a billion dollars Is something that they can allocate over several years and not miss as a remainder Rounding error for for some of their core businesses Without getting into the nitty-gritty and I don't mean this to be Necessarily specifically a commentary on our modern political times, but politicians love press releases This seems like the kind of press release that Apple can put out there not physically But in sentiment can put out there and a lot of politicians can get up and say look at Doing thing in America. Yeah, exactly Motherboard reports the German newspaper Suddeutsche Zeitung reports that attackers Used flaws in the text messaging system to steal money from banks So an SMS vulnerability led to a bank robbery not a stick them up bank robbery, you know, they just siphoned out funds Essentially the attacks used a vulnerability in the signaling system 7 or SS 7 you may hear that talked about quite a bit SS 7 is a standard for exchanging information So when you're on a moving object like a train or in a car It's SS 7 is part of the reason that you can keep your voice call going If you want to send a text message from one country to another SS 7 is used etc etc etc For years security researchers Including most prominently Carsten Null or someone who calls themselves Carsten Null have demonstrated how easy it is to hijack that process that The majority of the time people don't verify who is requesting access So someone can pay around a thousand euros purchase access to the SS 7 and All they need your phone number if they can match your phone number to an account Then they can hijack anything you're using to factor authentication force So granted they have to know your phone number They have to have also cracked your password on a bank account But even then if you have two factor authentication that uses SMS They can use this system to get your second factor and log into your account And that's exactly what they did now. This is not an easy thing to do Not everybody's gonna be able to do this but folks who you know want to go after some money can put in the time and effort and find enough accounts that are have easily crackable passwords and then hijack SMS and Basically make two factor authentication in those cases irrelevant. So That last year the National Institute of Standards and Technology said it was no longer recommending solutions that used SMS Companies should move to authenticator apps at the very least Something like the Google authenticator or off the or something like that And even better is you be keys or physical keys and something like that, but One thing I want to make clear Justin is if you have two factor authentication on Or if you were thinking about turning two factor authentication on you still should yeah, because What you what you're doing is putting in speed bumps And if if you have a strong password and two factor authentication even with this You make it harder for them to get into your account But it does show that SMS based two-factor authentication certainly not foolproof and Despite the fact that two factor is thought to be and is like you pointed out a better way to go It is always good for everybody and not the smart people that listen to this show But if you can proselytize amongst your friends and family that No security is foolproof security and there's a reason why you want to keep an eye on stuff like this So you can react accordingly as things are made vulnerable and hacked So this is a a troubling story. It is certainly something that that we In the know should keep our finger on but at the same time I almost find these stories to be good because The more these are out in the wild the more we can start to continue to understand and think We are not nearly as secure as we Think we are and there is always a need for continued Techno and said sadly you need stuff like this to force hands and force people to upgrade security SS7 Can be secured Theoretically it you can verify that the right device is actually contacting you but carriers just don't because Sort of the prevailing opinion I don't think anybody said this outright, but the prevailing opinion is as is so hard to do and it's never happened in real in real life It's only happened to demonstrations why bother? Well now some people have had their bank accounts drained now. It's time to bother Well put Facebook announced it's launching its express Wi-Fi service in the in India Barty Airtel joined several other regional providers providing service Express Wi-Fi lets local business resell internet access to their customers Express Wi-Fi is up and running in Kenya and in a trial phase in Tanzania, Nigeria and Indonesia This is pretty interesting. This is part of Facebook's internet org Effort to spread internet connections and they had some major missteps in India when they tried to bring their free basics Which is also very popular in Africa in parts of Africa, but in India It was seen as zero rating and violating that neutrality and it fell apart So this is a different effort to spread internet connectivity and the way it works is Companies local businesses, you know, like like a convenience store or a restaurant Will sign up for this and then offer it either free to paying customers or at low cost So so that folks can get internet access at their places of business. You're talking about 20,000 Spots going in with Barty Airtel. So this is this is something fairly widespread And it's way more acceptable to the Indian populace and It also continues to build a backbone for Internet based on the economic motivation for shopkeepers and people, you know Who are own places where people would gather and would enjoy internet a place to put it You know a lot of times what makes especially in developing countries what makes Technology that can better society stick is Finding the people that will implement it and a lot of times that is Like what we're looking at here if you can if you can convince all the shopkeepers in a town to Provide, you know buy these boxes and and provide, you know, basically just something they can turn on and collect money Then you're gonna have more of these boxes out there and more people are gonna have internet The world is gonna be a better place. So I do agree. This is this is a smarter way to do it Stoic Squirrel asks is this this is real internet not just Facebook access. Yes, this is this is actual internet This is just a Facebook provided program, but it just it brings you the internet Unmodified in any way that that it is otherwise unmodified in the country I don't know if India has certain blocks or things in place, but it's not Facebook limiting it Wall Street Journal reports that snap Inc. has signed deals with NBC Universal Turner discovery ESPN vice media and scripts networks as well as the NFL to produce Original video shows for snap TV. These are around five-minute shows, but snap wants original stuff scripted dramas news Animation others like that NBC's The Voice recently did a version of this. They ran a parallel singing competition So you have the voice singing competition on regular TV and then they had a second Competition going on on snapchat and the winner of the snapchat version of the show got to go on the main television show But it was original, right? It wasn't just a promo Snapchat will give content providers 70% of the revenue if the content provider is selling the ads or they split it 50 50 if they have snap doing the selling But otherwise they don't pay to get the stuff in there Well, I this is kind of the the the defining story of the the last two years and I'm gonna go ahead and predict At least another couple years past this all of the ad money is in video That's where you can get the highest CPM the difference here is it appears that Snapchat isn't shelling out cash to get people to do it in a way that that previous new media companies like Facebook and Twitter did This is them just saying hey look money's out there We got the platform so sign exclusive deals with us to produce certain shows And then either you have your ad department go ahead and sell it or we have our ad department go ahead and sell it because It's in everybody's best interest to continue to Fill in for ad money because if you look at some of the people that are on this list Like NBC Turner Discovery ESPN they are all heavily affected by the degradation of Cable right now, and they are looking for any lifeline to start filling in those a balance sheet holes And I know that these networks had to decide is this right for us is a five minute is a five minute limit You know roughly Something that's gonna work with our content is our audience even there I know some brands were approached to look at this and said yeah people are too old They're not and they're not even there. We're not gonna do it So it is interesting to see who is who is signing up for this Vice being the only one that's sort of a modern Company at least in this list Yeah, yeah, but but everybody here produces something that appeals to to the youth or has licenses to appeal to something Yeah, that is there for for the young folks Hey folks if you want to get all the tech headlines each day in about five minutes You got to check out our sister show you can subscribe it as a podcast daily tech headlines comm Just around five minutes You can get it on the anchor app if you haven't tried out the anchor app You got to try that Justin Robert Young has some stuff on there too all kinds of stuff Annie Gauss has stuff on there is good things happening anchor Or you can get it on your Amazon Echo as a flash briefing, but daily tech headlines check it out That's look at our top stories. All right reddit user chemist 49 Bought a box of Blizzard stuff on eBay as you do I did this with Star Wars toys years ago I just want a box of stuff, you know, I'm a Blizzard fan. I would assume is what he said to himself He said chemist 49 you are a Blizzard fan by this box of stuff on eBay Well when he got the box in the box was a CDR labeled Starcraft gold master source code It's the source code that makes all the difference if this was just a gold master of the game that he could play It would be of interest sure it's the source code, right? Ah, that makes all the difference He posted on reddit as as you do when you face a moral quandary asking what to do eventually Blizzard contacted him Saying that the disc contained intellectual property and trade secrets trade secrets being the open sort of not open The source code and Blizzard would like it back. So he sought some legal advice Decided to return the disc to Blizzard Blizzard gave him a copy of Overwatch and 250 dollars in Blizzard store credit And he thought that was it. He's like, oh, it's nice of them to give me some stuff Well last night chemist 49 posted on reddit that someone from Blizzard called him Offering to pay all his expenses to come to blizzcon and take him out to drinks And they mailed him a giant box of Overwatch and Diablo peripherals and swag and stuff like that so Blizzard being very thankful to this person who in their opinion, you know, if i'm blizzard, I think he did the right thing so, uh Let's let's tackle this from from a little bit before Uh, uh the the the story timeline, right? Let's say that that this is Me and you right here in we are chemist 49 We are chemist 49 and together we're we're living as roommates somewhere we decide we're gonna your chemist i'm 49 We're always together Such power through we we buy have a box or are we each of blizzard stuff on ebay? It comes and now we have This gold master source code for Starcraft yeah now. I Have the worst of intentions you have the best of intentions. Let's dwell on mine Let's say that chemist 49 wanted to be As malicious as possible with this or maybe as profiteering as possible with this. What is reasonable that he could Do like like what if if he wanted to be as destructive as possible Oh, well, okay. I got two different answers for you depending on on where you're going Because to be as destructive as possible He doesn't tell anybody that he has this thing Uh, and he goes and takes that source code and he puts it up on paste bin and uh, and and anywhere else that that it can leak out Uh, and just starts telling people as often as possible Under assumed names and chats and and and various posts like check this out Can you believe it somebody has the source code to starcraft? Yeah, that's probably the most destructive to blizzard And it's destructive because blizzard doesn't want people to know how they coded starcraft Uh, there's there's some security concerns there too, but honestly if you intentionally open your source code You end up usually having better security because white hats will spot errors because they're all looking at it and and you'll Lock it down faster In this case the white hats aren't doing this because you didn't You know release it on purpose. So maybe it's it got some security vulnerabilities too And now if you wanted to be the most profiteering because although that is certainly a a a big black eye for blizzard That's the destructive way to go. Just why free and wide everybody hack away So if you wanted to make some coin on this though He doesn't know what blizzard's gonna do for all he knows blizzard's gonna be like what you got this illegally And and and and now we're gonna we're gonna we're gonna put you in jail for for doing that And we're gonna threaten you with some sort of lawsuit right you say he might ransom blizzard No, i'm saying i'm asking you what what would what would he sell it? I mean, maybe maybe maybe you could sell it. Maybe you don't know I mean, I don't think it's very lucrative at this point, right? I mean, I guess maybe you could contact a competitor, you know, call up ea Hey, I want to buy this starcraft source code But most competitors are not going to want to touch this right because of the legality around it Because that yeah, because that would be that would be a problem. I have somebody got their hands on it Randomly, but I guess that what i'm trying to illustrate here is that unless he wanted To intentionally embarrass Oh, I got one for you though I got one for you because this was in the reddit thread a lot of people are saying this They were saying what you should do Is handed over to archive.org Or and some people mentioned other organizations that are similar but a lot of people were saying Like don't give it back to blizzard, but be altruistic Yeah, give it to an archiving service that responsibly handles these things because that is a historical object that you have there And that is the thing that you should do don't give it back to blizzard Give it to someone who wants to preserve that source code for future generations to look at With the idea being that that blizzard can always change exactly what this is based on Whatever's in there, but having it be in some kind of digital smithsonian The people have a right to know It's the history of the internet and I actually very sympathetic that i'm a big fan of archive.org and what they do And so part of me says gosh, I kind of wish he had done that in the altruistic sense But it is blizzard's property and blizzard should probably make the decision of whether they want to hand it over to That that just seems like a mushy middle where you're doing the exact same thing as putting it on paceman Except you're fooling yourself into feeling better about your action, right? Yeah, well, you're making a decision on behalf of someone else exactly Uh now meanwhile, let's flip over to blizzard's side, right? They didn't seem to necessarily throw the goon squad at them You know, they let them know that it is Hey, we're gonna let you know these are trade secrets. Uh, there are kind of legal tendrils to that and there are there are actionable of moves that we could make but We would just like it back Guy gave it back. Who knows what happened behind the scenes. You're walking up to a pitbull You don't know whether it's it's a calm one or whether it's going to try to bite your face You know blizzard's just like hey hey guy. Hey guy. Can you can you just give it get can you drop drop leave it? Because I think if you're looking at the report card on something like this, which is really fascinating because in an era where customer service Seems more important than ever because of how things can mushroom on social media so quickly this seems to be blizzard kind of showing a A a kind-hearted Corporate ethic Right that that this this guy had this thing. They got it back. They didn't immediately Send him a You know some sort of threatening legal letter that he posted on reddit immediately He gave the thing back and now and now it's hey come on out here And maybe maybe they'll call him up on stage during a starcraft presentation at blizzard at blizzcon or something or you know The and we're announcing we're opening the source code. He wouldn't have had to give it back to us. Sure. I mean I guess it It's hard to look at companies and say You're doing the right thing when they're so big because Very often we find the remains of A negative situation As opposed to decisions that they say, you know discretion is the better part of valor here This seems to be on all sides. It's kind of a warm and fuzzy story. Yeah Chemist 49 did the right thing. He talked to his friends on reddit the public He talked to a lawyer and then After much consideration and due diligence Uh, did what most people considered the ethical thing? And and and blizzard Show is showing profuse. Thanks for that. Now on blizzard's end Man, you got to wonder who who took what home and left that in a box that they sold on ebay, right? Oh, man. Yeah. Yeah, that that's one of those like, all right How did that get out? Let's as soon as I got that cd, right? And I'm sure before that that they were doing a little bit of sleuthin on their own just to make sure that This actually did come from a box of stuff on ebay and not somebody just saying Oh my god, what a random it fell off the back of a truck. Yeah, right, right. That's your source code Well, that could explain why they're being so thankful, you know, who I don't know what other information chemist 49 was able to give them so Yeah Anyway, a starcraft samaritan. Hey good good samaritan story. I know a starcraft man. Tell you what blowing up there They're they're affecting the korean election. They're they're People feel good on reddit good ups big ups to starcraft In the rear with the gear. Hey, thanks to all those who participate in our subreddit You can spit stories of vote on them at dailytechnewshow.reddit.com a bunch of messages So we're just going to plow through these but thank you for sending them to us feedback at dailytechnewshow.com paul Was listening to the may 3rd episode of dts when I asked scott. What do you want in regards to streaming options? paul Uh says I really only ever watched local terrestrial tv station cbs mbc abc I wish someone would give me a streaming option for only Those stations right now. I get them for free, but I can't watch cbs if it rains I would gladly pay for more reliable delivery of those stations. I would probably also purchase streaming to my mobile device as an add-on I don't think we'll ever see that though There are a lot of logistics to having a single source provider of just that service and not as much profit to be made Yeah, you set up you set up too many caveats there because you can buy cbs all access for seven bucks a month And get your cbs local channels in most cases Streamed to you and all the cbs programming so you could solve your cbs program But it's not going to get you the other channels if you want to have it all in one place And for that Yeah, it depends on where you live But some markets will have it for playstation view and sling and hulu and youtube and some won't But you're not paying for just those you're paying for all those other stuff, too I I do think though that there is the the the future does lie in more And niche opportunities for over-the-top stuff Yeah, I mean if you don't mind it being multiple services NBC is considering doing this for their own programming once the the restriction on them doing it from Comcast buying them ends ABC has been rumored to be thinking about it too So you may at some point be able to buy all the major stations a la carte And then just say well, I it's not one service, but at least it gives me what I want And I can't see a place in the future where you know either Apple or Roku or something are you know makes a better Service in which you can plug all your subscriptions into one mega meta Viewer that can that can help with stuff like that Regarding resist bot we talked about on Monday We were talking about it And I mentioned that the bot can attach a physical address to a to a Message so that they know You know who you are can validate that you're a registered voter And Dave and Orlando wrote in to say hey, I just wanted to confirm That it actually does that I actually got a phone call response from my representative inviting me to a town hall She was doing on the topic of one of my faxes during the last congressional recess So thank you Dave for that also Thank you for the go blues because Dave is from st. Louis originally Hey Fred and finally sunny southwest wisconsin said in this time of shifting sources of media Conception does the dts brain trust see a place for the local television network affiliated tv station Beyond being a lifeline for cord cutters that actually this they should have read this along With the with the email from paul earlier but I think local television affiliates are going to be Your local news source and competitors with your local newspaper all on the same platform We don't have television newspaper and radio anymore. It's all internet Yeah, I mean, I guess is he is he saying like the show like the 10 o'clock news the six o'clock I think what he's saying is do we need a local cbs affiliate when cbs can just provide programming nationwide? Like why have an affiliate? It's a really good question You know, I I I do think that as as far as news goes Yeah, you're there's always going to be some kind of source for news although To be fair over the years and it just might be the case of being too early But local news on the internet is something that nobody has really been able to crack But go ahead. Oh no, no, I was going to move on to dwayne thought you were done. Sorry about that Dwayne said the surface laptop That's $999 is for the college student He has a quote from the microsoft event for surface This is where we wanted to put our focus into the next four years of a student's life when they're just about to get out of high school So dwayne says this makes sense when you go to campuses today, you see macbooks and other high-end laptops So a thousand dollars is not a stretch for the college student But is that getting heat for being uh to well someone complained about the price of windows 10 s laptops And I I pointed out to them that the price for all the non microsoft ones is like $189 $299 So those are cheap Uh, and then we were like, well, which one is the thousand dollar one for? Well, it's it's for the senior in high school I guess sure. Yeah, and listen microsoft wants to get in on that that premium pricing, right? Yeah Well, thank you. Justin robbie young, of course as always, uh, what you got going on to tell folks about Oh, well, tom, you can join me every single day that is twitch.tv slash justin r young where I am uh streaming Every day about something wrestling politics your emails Tech chat with tom before this very show every thursday morning.

Well Time to fix it time to fix it Uh, this is before even that uh sms story broke that I wrote that column too Just more fuel for the fire Hey, man, good show. Yeah, good show. I agree. What should we call it? Uh I think hold on. Let me take a look at the old show bit. Can't hear me. Yeah, I said seven Oh, you can't ss seven licensed to steal Oh like 007 I get it Oh, may the source be with you. I kind of love that. May the fourth out of the park Well done source code of ethics The starcraft samaritan source code of ethics is good too. I like that one too Uh, it fourth be with you of apple carts and ban death wagons A blizzard of reward blizzard gives a warm thanks I think may the source be with you is my favorite. I think that's that that just hits on on too many levels too many All the levels I used to have a bunch of gold masters from tech tv This game's almost ready to play Were they source code though or just old masters just gold masters source codes really rare to find And um and generally depending on What's on it may or may not be useful uh for for the average person Because it's not like you can just compile it Oh, you know one thing I left out of the story when I when I did the retelling he he did play it and stream it Oh to show that it was real So he did actually manage to compile it. Yeah And a lot of people started advising him like you might want to do that like you're on you're on thin ice Unless there was a executable copy of the game already on the disc Yeah, my man. Maybe maybe that's all he did. I'm just because sometimes they just get they put out the source code But they don't include the libraries that they call on right or whatever they wrote Because they assume you have it Well, maybe he had a copy of starcraft already that he could use the libraries from I don't know All right to compile it probably probably not So let's uh, let's uh Let's let's let's get to the meat of of what's important here. Uh, roger when when are you're gonna go see? Guardians of the galaxy. I don't know. I mean I want to see it, but honestly, I don't know I mean unless you can find me an awesome Baby, sir You know that it's guardians of the galaxy like the movie that came out a couple years ago that everybody's like I liked it. It's so this is my thing I was a fan of the comic comic series before they rebooted it and I'm a fan of the New one, but it's one of those movies that's really really fun to watch But as soon as they get home, I it's not like something that stays with me It's not an impactful movie Like lore of the rings when I first thought it's like whoa, you're still talking about it like a month later Like I'm in the galaxy. It's like that's cool. It's fun. And you know, I mean I think guardians of the galaxy is Is kind of like, you know, uh as it is themed Like the the super fun Yeah, a mix tape, right like gives you gives you a good feeling you make it's it's Yeah, it's it's it's like It's it's very interesting because compared to most of the Disney marvel lineups, it's not that it's not that weighty It's not doesn't have the yeah, it's just gravitas because you know the end of the world or the universe But really it's just it's like one huge Heist slash You know humor Funny it is a lot like pirates like when when the first pirates of the Caribbean came out Although that that movie was long and they only got longer past that but like, uh the idea Of it just being like, yeah, I mean who really remembers who's got the The golden doubloons and is it is it barbosa or is it captain jack? He just wants some pirates that swashbuckle a little and then they poke somebody off the And you you like hearing johnny death go captain jack swallow sparrow swallow Oh Sparrow say something say something incredibly Uh witty or clever or just you know whims, but it's just funny right because you enjoy that But you don't go you don't go home and start like i'm gonna turn our master bedroom into like the the You know the ship of or whatever the ship the black pearl You know, it's it's not it's not something that impacts you in that way, but it's a fun movie By the way, the new pirates which we own in the movie draft Is tracking for a 90 million dollar opening. No bad. Not bad Well, you have guardians pirates and one other small one right girls trip girls trip Can't get an infection in your booty whole tom. Ah, how could I forget? Wait, what movie is that? I I'm totally out of it Girls trip is uh is is a is a comedy about a bunch of uh African-american women uh of a certain age that have reunited that from their wild past and now go on a little girls trip to Let loose some of them are buttoned up and other rooms are still wild, but uh Uh had a funny trailer and and we're gonna hope that it does well We're kind of screwed though. Uh, uh, we we really need a A massive massive overperformance by guardians and like I'm seeing excitement for it. I don't know if it is like world shaking It's not getting the buzz That it did the first time around and and we we mentioned this before but the first time around it was a surprise, right? Like wow, how good is that this time around? There are high expectations for it and but You know That movie created chris pratt As a star, right? Uh, yeah, it definitely vaulted him from that guy on parks and rec to a movie star. Yeah Star he was a actor people like yeah, nobody was like Oh, let's go see her because chris plat pratt plays a supporting role No, I remember people going really the fat guy from parks and rec which I never thought he was that fat But I heard several different people say that Yeah, totally worked out and he totally got ripped and now Now he's quick press chris Pratt on as a marvel. It's kind of the same thing with what's his name? Uh doing ant man Um, Paul Rudd like, you know, I mean he still plays kind of the Paul Rudd feels like the kind of typical I'm a comic actor that does a comic action movie kind of guy in a way that chris pratt hadn't really even done the like comic Movie that centered around him. You know, there's been plenty of movies that have centered around Paul Rudd as like the funny guy like I I definitely I definitely want to see aliens covenant But I don't think I'll be able to catch in the theater either, you know, that's an interesting one because like I really don't know. I'm also just realizing That frog pants bought every movie that comes out Uh-huh. I noticed that and may 19. Yeah Two whole weeks. It's like the mid made block frog pants block rock block. It's uh There's something about the aliens lore universe. That's really Well, now does your wife want to see it? Jen, she said it looks cool, but it's she's not like okay Because my suggestion is oh, that's right. I mean and I come visit Eileen and and Jen hang out with ellie and we go see a movie or vice versa Yes, but it has to be a movie that those two don't care about And we do does Eileen not care about aliens. I don't know I have I'll have to ask her She doesn't like horror movies, but it's not exactly a horror movie. So, you know It's like it seems like that they are leaning like at least the marketing materials seems to be kind of a reaction to prometheus where it's like This is not just a yes Meditation on life. This is a horror movie. Look at all these people that are going to die Things are going to pop out. Look how scared they look. It's going to be exciting I was exciting I I liked This is the bug meppo primitius. I just really wanted it to bridge a lot of the backstory, but It just left a lot more questions. I guess Scratch in your head. I'll so do Oh, I'm sorry It I agree. I I think it kind of bears the hallmarks of some of the lesser writing of of damon lindeloff who wrote uh, or had a impact on the script in that The mystery is kind of more important than the story. Yeah. Yeah, so they they that was like This is can't miss it's ridley scott returning to aliens Like we're gonna do this thing and so we'll set up this part one But just wait until part two and you find all this other stuff out and everybody was like part one was Boring, I guess it did not keep me interested enough in part two I was like worse. I said when when does when does the other bit come? I was like sitting through the movie. He's like, where's the reveal? Where's the whatever? And it's like, oh, you gotta be kidding me She aliens flying around and flying horseshoes creating Bioweapon alien thingies It's the problem with prequels They're hard. They are Especially if you especially if the expansive universe continued after the original movies were done Like star wars like the expanded universe whether or not you expanded aliens universe The dark so dark horse says for the longest time had a huge license to do Uh continuation stories based off star wars aliens predators And that's where you first saw the aliens versus predators as well as aliens versus superman alien versus batman Uh predator versus batman. I mean, there was just a lot of people wanted to see like ooh What if we cross over they think they also did robo cop versus terminator? Um, and they tried to backfill that story where the technology created Doctor to build versus Yeah, they did one of those. Yeah, it did one with oh no, that was that was dc wildstorm did one were batman The authority not the authority planet planetary Kind of like the authority uh comic book group of like superhero archaeologists Go through all the multiverse and encounter all the various incarnations of batman like the adam west batman the michael keaton batman The frank knight batman There was one there was the guy who wrote independence day Or one of them one of the writers wrote a short treatment comic for a movie he wanted to do called aliens versus dinosaurs And the dinosaurs are pictured as having a very kind of although still primitive very advanced hierarchical society. They had Um, they had traditions. They had rituals religious rituals and stuff and the aliens come and they have to fight them off We've been cool as a movie. There wouldn't be that many humans if any in it, which might be uh a big no-no that was uh Yeah, dean devlin and rolin emmerich wrote it Uh independence day, but yeah, they were they were hot as hell back in the 90s And then they did they did Godzilla and everyone was like, what? Why does Godzilla look like my pedaguana? And also, why does he get kind of small enough to swim through the sewers and yeah, and they're but big enough To crush a bill. It was just really wise Matthew Broderick in it and Man, I could not be more excited for a movie than I was for Godzilla I think everyone was just like, well, this is gonna be awesome. I was of that age, man I was I was in my We all used to hang out because I was a super cool dude ladies and gentlemen. We used to hang out in uh, our favorite science teachers class after school and we We're looking up trailers and we were so excited for Godzilla and I remember the week before it came out because they kept the the the look of Godzilla a secret the entire time And we wound up going to like the taco bell website or something because there was like you're talking about in the 98 Godzilla 98 Godzilla gotcha. Okay, 90 freak me out there when you said you were in science class I was thinking of the 2014 one I was gonna make a gross joke. Um Anywho we went to a taco bell website It loaded in a crisp 30 minutes and because they had a some new trailer or something and they showed the the The actual like they had like a promo image of Godzilla from the movie and I was like It was the first time I remember just talking myself into something. Uh-huh Oh It'll be good. It'll still be good. It'll still be good Boiler alert. It wasn't good I never saw it. Yeah, I saw the 2014 one, but Was there any other movie after that?
