Oh one more second. I love when things don't work. Um, yeah, I'll paste it in after Let me take a second and actually re-record all right you can start anytime you want Shit Hey, dude, dude. All right, everybody's muted ready to go. There you go. I was born semi-ready This is the Daily Tech news for Thursday May 14th 2015 I'm Justin Robert Young filling in for Tom Merritt who is watching his nephew graduate this weekend Joining me is a lifelong friend and somebody that I think Can bring a fresh perspective now that we've vacated Tom for the For the afternoon he is the star of don't trust Andrew Mayn on A&E as well as the author of many books and Like I mentioned a dear friend Andrew Mayn welcome to the show Hey, mr. Justin Robert Young. Thank you. Thank you, sir We have a I think a really really great discussion considering how much time We have both shopped at Walmarts It is that we we have a big Walmart story here, but first let's get into the headlines Apple's beats bass streaming music service will be renamed Apple music and integrate deep social networking for artists according to 9 to 5 Mac The service will allow artists to have pages so they can post samples photos video concert information and content from other artists iTunes user will have iTunes users will have the ability to comment on and like posts from artists But won't have social network profiles like ping Apple music will be introduced at Apple's worldwide developers conference kickoff keynote on Monday, June 8th Andrew it's easy to get excited for big new Apple projects, however Social network and Apple have tended to result in disaster and am I crazy to say that this kind of sounds like my space? Ah, I don't think you're crazy at all I of course what the actual version of what it's going to be, you know, we'll have to see but I don't it's not a space that just sounds very exciting for Apple to get into I mean clearly with music and iTunes they were the forerunner and now is streaming has evolved and changed and They want to get into that space. They need to differentiate themselves, but I don't I don't know I just don't I I don't get it I guess I mean I get where in a boardroom This sounds like a neat idea like oh we can interact with Bands and stuff like that that people are already doing on Facebook and Twitter and YouTube and To try to create this sort of fourth place that that would take place. I don't And that's not even you know, you look at where social networking these things are going is that you know people are kind of moving away from platforms in general Yeah, so the only thing that I could see that makes this a little bit more appealing is if You have exclusive Albums and tracks that Apple makes these deals with artists that right now We've already seen that Beyonce drops her album on iTunes and all of a sudden it's the biggest thing overnight You've seen maybe Apple's learned the lesson where hey if we force a new you to record on everybody's phone It's a bit of a PR disaster, but if you do has an exclusive on our streaming service Maybe it's a reason for people to subscribe. Yeah, I think they're there certainly can be something in Pushing I mean I I I think creating new ways to create product or define what product is You know you I just watched on a Netflix They have supermench did the documentary chef Gordon is a guy who worked with Alice Cooper and a number of other bands And they talk about back in the day Alice Cooper records and how they would take like that one record that looked like you know I wouldn't you know a desk and you open up the desk and like inside was like you know Women's panties and these other things inside of there. It was a record album But it was this really cool kind of thing that you'd sit there listen to what the music and all that and I certainly think There's opportunities to say okay, how do we help artists create? Different kinds of experiences on the web so it's not just about selling a 99 cent or $1.29 single Well speaking of low-cost music Ardeo has launched a new premium tier allowing listeners to stream music on-demand Ardeo select costs three 99 per month and offers unlimited streaming radio without ads You can stream up to 25 on-demand tracks per day or store them for offline play black playback Plus you can swap out tracks for alternatives But you're still limited to 25 streams or downloads per day The new tier is available for users in the US Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India and South Africa Other countries will be added in the future. Do you subscribe to any of these streaming services Andrew? I've done Pandora and then you know I don't know if iTunes match quite subscribe counts as that and then with the Amazon unlimited music you get some of that But whenever I hear them announce like a pricing tier when it comes to streaming music I think about whenever I get you know Comcast or Time Warmer sends me the thing that says oh get all this cable for like $30 a month You know for six months and you're like what will the right here? What will be that we know this is a price to get people on board and if you look at the economics of streaming You know there are a lot of people saying this can't last this will not work And so we know there's you know pricing is gonna have to go up or pricing is gonna have to fall down as far as you know The artist get etc. So I don't get you know it to me. It's It's not economics. It's marketing Yeah Well switching from streaming Walmart challenges Amazon with unlimited shipping for $50 a year The service promises 70,000 items at launch and three-day shipping according to a Walmart company spokesman the program will be Invite only initially and will evolve with feedback from early customers Will this be a legitimate competitor to Amazon Prime? We'll pick that apart in the discussion section a little bit later on Initial thoughts Andrew. I think a lot I Got it. I just the one of things we have to think about is how they're gonna compete I just got a box from Amazon, you know, which you get excited like look at this box Like right, you know, yeah, and she remarked that you know the UPS truck is like the adult version of the ice cream truck I open up that would be a That in stranger who said that I open this up and I'm thinking like man, what am I working? There was this big what did I order in? For those of you who are only listening to this via podcast Andrew is opening up a fairly medium-sized Amazon box with a lot of Packaging and he is now revealing Batteries it is one a thin strip of watch battery Decide smaller than a bookmark. This was on my step right before I walked in the door to do the show I'm like perfect visual aid for a podcast Amazon when you break down what they spend on shipping and all that they're constantly trying to figure out how to do that How much they actually lose in that area versus how much they make and that's a larger discussion to see Does Walmart have the stones to try to go head-to-head with them on that and we will dig into it Venture beat is reporting that Google has announced six new apps for its $35 streaming media stick CBS all-access HDTV Fox now FX now Pluto TV and haystack Pluto TV curates over a hundred channels of news music sports web and television shows while haystack presents trending TV news You can get the apps from chromecast.com Slash apps Windows 10 mobiles latest build 1008 Zero, I don't know what the prominent proper nomenclature for that is Add some important updates according to tech crunch The biggest is the first look at the windows store for mobile which will allow Microsoft to deliver Universal office apps plus music movies and TV shows other features include an Xbox app Xbox app a music app and a new camera app as well as a video app. It's a lot of apps That's a lot of apps man. Baby's got apps Konami's big focus moving forward will be mobile and not triple-a games according to a translated interview with the company's new CEO You know what just go ahead and look it up yourself. Hideke Hayakawa there we go Andrew you know Konami's gotten a lot of flack lately. This seems to be something that people are more excited about What what what's your thought on that? I think that you know you're looking at your your when you go through these big huge changes in Video games in and platforms and stuff like that and the revolutionary changes and platforms happens. Maybe every 20 years or so you had the cabinet to the desk council desktop You're just you mean to like you know the the console you hooked up your TV You had PC stuff and then you had the merging of PC and those consoles into what we have in the modern form of Playstations and Xboxes and now as mobile becomes The the the big platform and not just little hand and not handheld, but mobile It's disruptive. It's very disruptive. You know Nintendo finally said hey You know we're gonna actually try to push towards other platforms besides our own You know and here's you know one of the biggest You know Licensing one of the biggest creators of properties there is with Konami And I think that for them to say we're gonna do a focus on mobile because you look at where is the growth Where is the money? Yeah, it's it's not in consoles You know and it's exciting as Oculus might be and some of these other things It's the hand you walk into a restaurant and you look around the table with anybody who's younger than 18 And they've got you know an iPad out there playing something. It's just it's huge. So I think that makes it, you know I think it makes sense So speaking of Nintendo and they're pushed toward mobile if you are excited for Mario themed candy crush knockoffs or Zelda enhanced clash of Clans you'll be able to hold on to your rupees because according to Nintendo's CEO Satoru Iwata the venerable video game Titan won't obsess over trends and avoid quote-unquote imitating popular games as they venture into the mobile space he adds quote I don't think we can realize what we aspire to by simply imitating a past success Formula now this has certainly been the path to profitability When it comes to just reskinning popular games with slightly different variables But Nintendo seems to be relying more on in your original pathways for their IP I think that's a very smart strategy, you know if they can hold up on it But I mean you look at you look at the problems that you know Zynga got into in Rovio and some of these studios The only way they can hold on now and that's in Rovio for spin specifically But is by trying to emulate what other people have done they come out with one hit that they get you know cat You think it humongous success off of right, you know And then all of a sudden they can do IPOs or they can increase the valuation of the companies on that But finding those other hits are really hard and either try to acquire or imitate I think for Nintendo to say hey, we're gonna keep being Nintendo and coming out with fun original things We're not just gonna slap our characters on others title is great because It's all too easy to you know get lost in the shovel And you even have you know really good games that come out that the imitators then start performing better than yeah And so to get into that you know area and you know dozens of imitators will come out there And one of them might strike it better, you know which we saw with like, you know threes getting knocked off Well, you know it certainly is iterative especially on very simple Concept games to to kind of add the wrinkle that makes it all the different especially if you have already Conquered it and you want to continue to have that experience and there's something need to about the idea of just saying you know We're not gonna we're not gonna throw, you know Mario Ironically into back into you know flappy bird, you know that we're not just gonna skin the games that are Nintendo Let's make special Nintendo games. Let's create excitement I think that's one of things that we don't have as much in mobile that we have in consoles because of consoles the life cycle so much Longer releases are big releases are really really really huge It's not so much for mobile unless it's tied into a console release But if you get into like hey, you know we're coming out with you know a new Mario totally for the iPhone That would be I think that would be a big deal Although you know it is Sacrificing something because Nintendo has very powerful in intellectual property if it is good enough to have universal Studios make a theme park out of it then it is good enough to play as a clash of can clash of clan skin But I think it is it's a good move all we saw it You know Star Wars and Disney have gone through that where they found out that sometimes put in their name on a lot of things Didn't help and they went back pulled back from licensing agreements. Yeah The New York Times reports that Reddit announced an update to its site-wide policies today that explicitly prohibits Harassments against users as of today users who view or experience harassment will be able to email reddit moderators Who can remove content and ban offenders from the site reddit defines harassment as quote continued actions Unquote that would make somebody quote conclude that reddit is not a safe platform To express their ideas and quote the company said the number one reason reddit users do not recommend the site to others Is to avoid exposing friends to hate and offensive content This seems to be a Growing trend with platforms specifically Twitter made a big point about this over the last month or so to say you want to know What growth is great? We love growth However now we need to take care of the housework a little bit when it comes to harassment Is this reddit growing up or is reddit always just going to be kind of assess Well, I mean it it it has a choice it you know it can look at itself and say okay. Do we want to? It is an amazing resource an amazing resource. You know they ask me anything's on reddit I think are just one of the most back, you know awesome social experiments There is and great for discovering things the communities there are great You know we're using it here, and they're looking at it saying okay. Do we want to be a? Big social platform like Facebook and other places or do we want to be? you know 4chan and I think that for reddit, you know they they wisely one who not become what 4chan is and you know You lose out on something when you have that sort of lawless sort of nature, and they want to move towards embrace it the problem is just you know Policing this stuff is actually not that hard when you come when you realize that what you need you get a few people a few tiny tiny Tiny minority people make it bad for everybody else and the easiest way to deal with that is you Make them you have to make them real people and make it hard to have anonymous accounts The way you do that is you have like credit card sign-ups Yeah, but nobody wants to do that because once they do that They lose a tremendous number of you know the overall size of people nobody wants to participate in more You know and I think that that's the challenge is that if you want to make it super easy to create an account You're gonna make it super easy to create an abusive account, so yeah, they'll be able to ban users They'll keep popping up like whack-a-mole Yeah, the question is because I feel like reddit is still smarting from some of the the fappening Stuff that went on a few months ago And then the the curiosity for me is how or if this would have affected that as it mushroom Well, you know the fappening gets into this sort of weird area where You know you compare that to the Sony leaks, you know Which granted, you know having your nude photographs, you know put out there is Extremely embarrassing and invasive etc. And all that but for many people so is having private emails Complaint grievances and things like that doing that and the Sony reaction the Sony leaks was well This is journalism, you know this other thing isn't yet. You get into this sort of weird murky area And I'm not for Distributing these kinds of photographs against anybody's will maybe they're very very clear But you're gonna find that like you know describing it is where somebody feels harassed or wherever they did that that gets It's gonna get tricky and even then like you know great. We can ban that person, but You you pop up with the account, you know of you know Loser guy number three. Yeah We're two more pop-up in its place and and also you did the tendency for those people is they then make it their mission to Go after it, you know, they get even more, you know energized So it turns out thieves can bypass Apple watch pass codes and pair a stolen watch to their own phone The Verge has compiled a bunch of reporting from 9 to 5 Mac and I download blog that concluded the Apple watch was Incredibly easy to steal because it's very easy to reset an Apple watch if you forget the password Just hold the side button until the menu appears with three options power off power reserve and lock device Then for such that screen to unlock a hidden option to erase all content and settings The watch has to be connected to its charger to activate the erase function Which is exactly what a thief would do the moment here. She stole your Apple watch time for an activation lock update Perhaps Andrew you are an Apple watch user. Do you feel that your new bobble is insecure? I I mean, yeah, it's insecure and that if so many steals that they wipe it. I'm not gonna lose my information just my watch And you know putting those sort of restrictive measures on iPhones has cut down an iPhone theft but it hasn't eliminated it because they're still useful for materials and parts and other things etc I Yeah, I think obviously I think this should be addressed. I'm every one of these has its own unique You know ID device number that they can then you know make these things more secure. So I'm not panicked. I think it'll probably be addressed in the grand heat map of of hacks that make or Exploits that kind of make pop culture news or pop tech culture news and break out of sort of the hackosphere I think this is more legitimate than let's say 3d printing somebody's thumb so you can use the touch ID feature or something I mean, but well, but the difference here is that if I You know with so many 3d prints your thumb and user touch it They have access to information here. They have your watch they it's a read its functions like a brand new watch We're talking about the loss of the use of the thing and not In terms of a likelihood that that's practical I you know I'm the idea that somebody could take something from me and get utility out of it is not a novel notion That's the way things always have a bit and and obviously there's technology to make that in probably in the case of the Apple Watch You know not happen. I think that'll you know, I'm not I'm sure I'm pretty sure Apple's probably on it BizTech Africa reports that Safari comm a Kenyan mobile network opera a mobile network operator has announced the launch launch of The big box a set top device that allows subscribers to watch TV and share broadband connectivity The device will connect to Safari comms 3g and 4g network and offer subscribers Access to several high-def TV channels as well as on-demand video content The device also serves as a Wi-Fi hotspot for up to 10 users Subscribers have the option of several plans based on their needs This is cool, I mean you just you look at how the emergence of of Telecommunications in Africa and you look at moving from when I mean you have places there that the economies are often based on buying You know minutes are now, you know, you know band width You know like in chunks on their phones to now that you're getting a company to go in there and put a streaming box It works over wireless networks and does that and they think they can make it economically feasible You know for you to sit there and watch Daredevil in Botswana, you know over a streaming thing. That's pretty awesome That's pretty cool. You know, I hope I hope something like this works I hope something like that successful and if it's there works there like great. Let's bring that over here Africa has been And has I think for the last decade and a half been a an extraordinarily interesting place to watch especially in terms of How much they rely on mobile, you know just just a fascinating incubator Recode is reporting that Sharp secured a 1.9 billion dollar bailout under the deal main leaders Mizuro Bank and Bank of Tokyo Mitsubishi UFJ will inject the combined 200 billion yen that is 1.7 billion dollars in a debt for equity swap in return for the funding Which will be used to repay debt and finance investments Sharp will also sell its headquarters and said it might seek a partnership for its TV business in North America and 5,000 job cuts in its global workforce Sharp posted an annual loss of 222 billion yen. This is Sharp's second bank-led rescue in three years yeesh Sharp was one of those companies that it was one of these big international conglomerates in a hundred-year-old company that was getting into so many different areas and LCD panels I think became kind of a big part of their market And you see the decline of these things you see that the growth and then you see these things are not they're not forever and Now you know you had I remember was a big deal when they made the light There was like the last TV that was ever made in the United States And then all of a sudden we never nobody made TVs here anymore because it wasn't economical and manufacturing to move to Japan and then manufacturing moved from there to China in Korea and as these things become More commodities and it comes harder and harder to make a profit from that. You know your your fortunes are going to rise and fall Without you know a lot of hope for stability Low margin goods keep that in mind when we get to our our big discussion with Amazon In gadget reports that the Samsung wallet will stop taking purchases on June 30th in anticipation of Samsung pay Which is scheduled to arrive in September any reservation and tickets in wallet will still be valid through partner apps But Cubans will no longer be available and Now for some news from you if you'd like to head on over to our reddit that is reddit comm slash r slash daily tech news show You can submit everything that you would like and listen We use especially on a day like today when we're hunting for stories because the great man Tom married is not here for us We rely on the reddit even more than ever Star Fury Zeta wanted to make sure that we saw the US House of Representatives voted 338 to 88 for the US freedom act which regrets the NSA bulk collection of phone records The vote heads to the Senate with support from the White House intelligence agency leaders and us federal appears appeals court However, the Senate leadership wants to extend the existing language of the Patriot Act through 2020 I Yeah, I mean great. I just think whenever you build a machine that wants to have that kind of power or Capabilities, you know, it's it doesn't quite go away that way And I'm all for that and I hope through we're persistent in protecting our Privacy but yeah skeptical. We'll see yeah, I mean, you know, whenever you build a Gigantic bulk collection agency everything looks like a relevant piece of data no matter how much you try and it's the people who are like Yeah, we passed this thing because we didn't really think it through and there are people warning us about the unintended consequences It would be obvious and we ignored it. No, no, no, no, no, no we now we've got this under control And SP Sheridan sent us the verge report that the Wolfram search tool can now identify any item in an Uploaded picture according to the creator Stephen Wolfram quote it won't always get it right, but most of the time I think it does remarkably well in the warm language image identification project was fed quote a few tens of Millions of images to learn including tricky ones an image of a cat in a spacesuit a sloth and a party hat and Chewbacca himself when given an image of Tom Merritt the image identifier Pronounced that he is indeed a person. I played with this yesterday, and it is really good. It was very very good I only had you know a few wild misses like I put a chimpanzee feeding a tiger and said that it was a sleeping bag Which maybe it is now. I don't know it was very very good and it's interesting the Wolfram alpha a Platform is basically this big computational engine where we've talked about this before on weird things a long time ago Where? Google wants to create searched Steven Wolfram. This is the guy that create Mathematica Brilliant as a genius is creating this computational platform So try to try to understand information and you can ask it questions You can go there, you know how far away as Mars right now It'll calculate that and to put an image processing as part of the API that you could build Technologies that would then have this is really cool And it's kind of scary because now you could put give it a photo and say we're all the soft targets And it could draw circles around people something you know your camera can do on your phone But it is it's interesting it's very exciting and you look at where the technology is going for self-driving cars And how much being able to figure out what you're looking at is super important This was considered a trivial problem 40 years ago in AI a summer problem, and they realized is much much more complex And that does it for the headlines Now to get into our discussion Andrew we have What I view to be Two massive entities that I think are coming ever closer to getting into kind of an open Firefight let's let's let's take a look at Walmart's first just the news here Walmart is going to do an invite only Delivery service very similar to Amazon Prime It'll do three-day delivery as opposed to two and we'll have seven million products available at launch The this comes on the heel of the heels of a October 2014 quote from the CEO of Walmart Outlining growth strategies at their annual meeting for the investment community He said quote there's a growing consensus that the future of retail is not just in store and not just online The winners in retail will be those that can put them together and frankly we think we're already doing the harder part Locations matter because convenience matters We have the stores the associates and the experience in the physical world that others will need to build he went on Specifically we will moderate the growth of investments in stores and increase our investments in E-commerce which seems to make the point that You know especially now that we know one of the projects that they are launching out on this that this is more and more Of a priority, so let me make this plane Is this a threat to Amazon? I think anytime somebody is willing to spend billions of dollars To try to get into your territory as Walmart's doing as jet.com is doing you can't ignore it I think the problem here and and and I might actually be a little bit more bullish on jet than maybe Walmart is it You know I got you know as I explained before I have this big huge stupid box with one little strip of batteries in there And I'm an Amazon Prime Subscriber and I love it and I don't know that Amazon made money on that I don't know that they made money on that I think you know Amazon has some fun little tricks that they can do as far as you know doing payables and three month increments And stuff and make them interest money on rolling over payments to vendors etc. And create billions of dollars Etc. One of the things that when you look at Amazon's stock valuation It's ridiculous compared to the amount of profits they have and the the belief is that Amazon is building towards this bigger future and is able to keep itself going but is building to this bigger future and Yeah, they'll ship this to you right now and not make any money But maybe five years down the road they will and or they're just making sure that I'm a good customer And then I'll keep going to them to other things that where they will make money. I don't know Walmart is in the position to lose money like that Well, so there's my question because Walmart has is is about The only people who are probably more ruthless with price negotiations than a company like Amazon does considering their scale Does a price war between these two companies? Effectively hurt both of them considering that their margins for either of them aren't necessarily great like how much lower can they go? Yeah, and it's it's not so much trying to compete in pricing, you know, they're looking at and trying to compete in like delivery and I If you order in some areas Amazon gets it to you that day and I can order stuff and I get packages on Sunday now They don't even think about it, which is just sort of a weird idea in yeah Amazon hires people driving their own cars to do that And as you look at companies like uber look getting into delivery and stuff. I Don't know that Walmart is involved enough in there, you know, they're trying to get to where Amazon was 10 years ago Amazon's trying Amazon's, you know, half seriously half not whatever making drones and things like that and Walmart's trying to get into a market that is already going away and Amazon's trying to before and as far as yeah Walmart can certainly get great prices on stuff And you know you saw the way that you know why they were resistant towards credit card companies and Apple pay in some ways because They hate that losing that 3% because that means a lot to them I just think that you look at Walmart had a great opportunity early on in Online when they tried their you know their their Netflix competitor and yeah was it was riddled with problems It wasn't profitable But it probably would have been a very good idea for them to have kept doing that because when I go to Walmart comm Like I don't know if I have an account. I think I may bought some things from them But it's not I use it so infrequently That You know I don't wear you know one of things that Apple talks about which was really smart is what their iTunes They would talk about how many credit cards they have on file, you know We had 20 million hundred million You know yeah Gazillion credit cards on file and what that meant for Apple was you could go to iTunes and press one button And we can send you something you didn't have to go through and fill out your address fill out all this other stuff And it's gonna be you know You know it's it's we like Walmart because I can just run across well not in LA But you can just go down the street there it is grab it and be done with it the idea of Walmart Well now we can get it to you in three days How is this better than Amazon? You're charging me 50 bucks less a year great? What kind of streaming movies am I getting you know what are all these other perks that I'm getting? I haven't heard anything about Walmart making studio deals for content The only thought though is like let's say if you are within 30 minutes of a Walmart that you can get Within three hours delivery if now all of a sudden they leverage some of their physical locations to make this more of a Instant situation. I mean they made a point that convenience is their key. Okay That's one of those things that sounds kind of neat on paper conception like hey, we have a Walmart store. We have products You have a house Look at what it cost to get a pizza delivered They deliver somebody delivers a pizza your house and they now charge a service charge for the pizza delivery And you're paying another four or five bucks on top of that and then you're expected to tip the person who brings this thing to you Okay, it is Expensive to do local delivery local delivery Nobody has been able to make a big impact and local delivery outside of delivering pizzas and for the idea that you know Amazon's gonna have a service where they is are they gonna do that with $3 batteries? You know are they gonna do with the small little things? It's great if everything's a $500 camera, but most things aren't are they gonna do it for spatulas? And they're gonna have to have minimums to say oh, you know $50 or whatever and all of a sudden you start getting into This structuring and assuming that they can do this effectively I don't have you've ever been to Walmart and talk to some of the people there who worked there late at night, but You know you're on your own Well, we would like to hear what you guys think about everything a feedback at daily tech news show dot com One was Alex Hanna aka tinvec. He wrote in howdy Justin Andrew Jenny Roger and crew to two numerous dimension I've got a pic for you. It's a website. It's been around for over a year But arguably has increased in usefulness over time have I been pwned a dot com that is a HAV e I be E E N P W N E D dot com in case you're a noob It is very it's a very simple site that does one very helpful thing It scans through your known data breaches for email or username that you enter Why is this helpful as the saying goes knowing is half the battle if you see that your information has been compromised on a website You can change your password or take other similar actions to Rescure your information the site has also had some good info on large data breaches that have been in the news If you want your pants scared off, I hope this helps people to be more secure. Thank you very very much tinvec I have a question If I wanted it to attach IP addresses to names of People because I wanted I was maybe I had a legitimate, you know tracking company that was making You know adware or whatever or I wanted to do pop-ups and all that and I wanted to know the names of the people doing that I would create a site where people would go in and enter their name on their computer And then I would know this and I'm sure this is legitimate, but I would be even suspicious of something like this Well, all right, so there we go always never never don't trust anybody But but check it out. That was our pick of the day. I'm just I'm just saying I Again again my point here is is if this was done by You know somebody with some reputation at stake I would be a little bit more trusting that I just think that you need Go here and type in your email or your username and all of a sudden they have that attached to an IP address I'm sure it's legitimate, but but it's like when I would get you know You know Bank of America used to send these sort of warnings like legitimate warnings about like, you know Oh here, you know, you need you know create a new password or do this thing or whatever and It was very easy to have done man in the middle of tax very easy to do. They don't do that anymore, but yeah No listen, it's a good point messages Let's go ahead and read one here this one or sorry See where this comes from yesterday Tom and Scott discussed the announcement of the new ultra blue way blue ray format which supports 4k video Joshua Gardner wrote in about the unspecified audio format and they mentioned just an FYI The reason the audio format is unspecified is because there is an audio war going on Dolby is fighting for Dolby at most Which features the traditional seven speakers setup plus a subwoofer But also adds two speakers in the ceiling for additional height Dolby has stated this sound format is Expandable to as many speakers as you wish Although they have stated that most audio will be mastered to support the maximum of 12 speakers plus a subwoofer Discrete channels requiring the receiver to create additional audio channels for anything over the 12 channels DTS has yet to announce a sound format But should very soon one of the primary differences between DTS and Dolby digital is DTS uses uncompressed audio which consumes more disk disk space Versus Dolby digital which sacrifices a fraction of audio quality and frequency response both on the upper and lower end To use about one quarter of the required space It should be noted that most people do not have high enough end equipment to hear the difference Again feedback at daily tech news show if you would like to send in either feedback on stories or a pick Andrew Thank you so much for helping out.

Good job gentlemen Roger loved it so much it crashed his chrome It did it did that's not too hot man. I'll tell you what that was it a lot of reading I I somehow neglected didn't take count the headlines because I kept just seeing it in the one view I didn't realize we had 12 Yeah, how many do you normally have like nine They I kept not seeing them all in the same view until I was like wow We're still in headlines and I We did a good job Justin. You did a great job. It was a great job. There was a lot of news Jenny Let's say good. Let's give them reason to all right. Okay. Yeah only good Yeah, I'll tell you what man a lot of words That's that Tom Merritt man. It's got a hell of a job You know the amazing thing I've learned from watching Tom Merritt and you do these kind of shows And it's a very good skill that that I I try to want to emulate I think we could all is you can get a discussion going and somebody can make a point that you disagree with And you can let them have the word and they go all right next topic Yeah, you know That's I mean it really is The thing that I've always loved the most about Tom's work and really has gotten me obsessed with his his shows Including this one is that dude plays point guard better than anybody in podcasting like the The ability to kind of not only do what is normally him and guest shows But when it's more panel shows, which we're going to get more and more into a daily tech news show now that we have all the contributors It's really really hard to When when you are a a pundit, you know and you were used to just saying like oh take take thing thing Let me keep the conversation going. It's almost unnatural to say No next like let me shut down the like the take thing what Tom's really good at is making The two second point the addendum point and then kind of moving it into the the other The other frame of reference so I've been I've been trying to do that on weird things too where you know Because Mike Mayan's dick is like no you're wrong and I'll prove to you. I'm worried, you know And it's like all right. It's gonna go backwards. Let me let somebody say it and then go all right Well, let's go to this now Yeah, well because you know there's always time and that's that's the the funny thing about it is that it always makes for more time It makes for a better quicker show and it makes for more time So it's like you're always just able to even get to more and talk about more in more substantive ways if everybody's If the length of everybody's point is almost just a little shorter, you know, just it makes more room for everything Um, well, thank you guys so much for hanging out and not just throwing fruit at me. I and and I Do appreciate it show titles Yes I'm level-ating. So this is a good time. I realize why Tom sometimes has a three second delay in the post-show is because he's actually Doing a whole bunch of complicated things that are really hard Okay show titles The Number one WTNS that that would be weird things news show For me who watches the stolen watches Yeah, that one that one's very very good by the way applause to everybody who is not making a show without merit the number one suggested topic That shows growth That after a decade of Tom doing these shows and eventually taking a vacation That that's not the number one. So thank you very much for that I am a fan of Oh, hey, I think from from Tom on your Apple watch. No, I got it on black. Oh Justin did Tom send you a congratulations on your Apple watch like listen. Come on It's just picking on the kid who wears a helmet to school Did you get one on your watch did you get did you get it? Stop it Getting I should be getting a notice any day now because they've apparently started chipping the model I ordered finally. I Yeah, I'm a fan of Walmart Prime Walmart Prime is good Biocow makes a point to say jury I'm not sure if Andrew is in chat, but tell him Tim Vex pick hashes your submission in the browser before sending it in Yes, I know it can still look up the username or email, but it is a legit site vetted by Steve Gibson of security now And also it's run by a trust a guy who's very trusted in the security or a Troy Hunt. I think his name is So I believe all of these things. I also believe that that I guess like the the When we get into my friend says they're trusted and And you come in from the critical thinking area. Well, how do I know, you know, it's that's the thing Oh, and again, I believe this. I think it's legit I think we look it up totally believe that but we get into many of these problems arise because I got an email that says It's from Facebook and Facebook says I need to do that. Well, Facebook's trusted. I trust Facebook Well, no, it didn't really come from Facebook, you know, that's that that's where these problems arise from is because We use reputation that we don't quite know are we here second-hand second-hand reputation or whatever, but again I think it's totally legit. I think it's totally legit. It's but it's just sort of to me It's kind of you know, well, I would I would have it hosted by a You know Yeah, I think it's really good to know not just to plug your username into some annual thing That's the takeaway. Well, yeah, I think in the spirit of the site It's a good thing to think about like the whole point isn't like oh, here's the panacea for for security Right, it's to be more knowledgeable about it So whether or not you want to use it based on the fact that you don't feel that it's a secure portal If that's what you believe then that's cool, you know, then that's I think that that's kind of what they're going for then you are then you are For the record, I am Confident enough that it's secure that I would put my own name in there my own information there I'll make that very clear But I just remember when I first saw this pop up a few weeks ago or one of these other ones like hey Go see and I went to go. I'm like, oh my well. I don't know anything about this By the way, I now I'm ashamed of all of you who have made the show without merit the number one vote getter on Just how about the show with Justin And it's going to take me a little while to edit because I actually have to add in a couple things Post show so you can all talk as long as you want But don't wait for it all to be done because it'll take a little bit. That is perfectly fine. I actually need to get to a Few other things but but thank you guys so much for your Watching me clawed my way through an otherwise seamless pro process if Yeah, I wish I could be here tomorrow, but I know you guys you guys do rock and roll, huh? This was choice. It'll be fun. I Know I'm stopping it. Bye
