I feel a bit overwhelmed It's not often that I get asked to be respectful Respectable or know what I'm talking about. I prefer cord killers where I could just go off half You could say you could just say any crazy thing. Well, let me give you a carte blanche say whatever you want I think all phones should be bent by force and it should be a law We will get to that topic and we will dive into why Brian thinks that after the headlines Good tease, huh? Hey, watch out Google X Reuters reports Amazon will increase staff at its lab 126 R&D division by at least 27 percent over the next five years That's according to a tax agreement reached with the state of California in June among the projects that they'll be Researching sources told Reuters that areas of research at the lab include wearable devices Connected home devices and one of those connected home devices would allow one button product ordering from the kitchen over Wi-Fi Products like the Kindle e-reader and fire phone came out of lab 126 All right, maybe this is just me, but it's like every time I hear Amazon and a product I always link it to like so they can sell crap like as soon as that twitch got sold to Amazon I remember thinking like oh great. No every time I tune into a starcraft match It'll try to somebody's starcraft or whatever and that's not so extraordinary What's extraordinary to me is how how on earth from a PR perspective? Did Google manage to avoid this stigma because every time I hear Amazon doing anything? I immediately think so they can sell us crap But for some reason I don't think that about Google and yet Google's in the exact same business They're the ad sellers. They're their whole money-making empire is based on selling ads Well, and I think a lot of people do have that reaction to Google when the difference is Amazon sells you something and then ships it to you themselves in most cases, right? And so you make a direct connection Amazon wants to actually sell something and send it to me Google on the other hand has been a little more insidious because they're just selling ads But they I think a lot of people have the reaction when they see Google do something of yeah Google just wants my information so they could sell me ads. I hear that a lot from people. Yeah Well, well done Google the next web reports Blackberry unveiled its square passport smartphone today passport has a 4.5 inch 1440 by 1440 resolution display because it's square a 2.2 gigahertz quad core Qualcomm snapdragon 800 processor 3 gigs of RAM 32 gigs onboard storage 13 megapixel camera on the back 2 megapixel on the front and the phone runs Blackberry 10.3 and features the brand new Blackberry blend which allows users to manage files and communications across Devices even other platforms like Windows Mac iOS and Android phones available now cost $599 in the US $699 Canadian 529 pounds Stirling in the UK and 649 euros in Europe There's so many things I want to say like I want to make a hip-to-be square joke from the 1980s Or I want to say how adorable physical keyboards are But what I really want to know from you Tom is is is this thing still alive just based on its encryption and security? Because I know that that's a big part of it Leading up to this definitely I mean what John Chen CEO of Blackberry is trying to do here is appeal to the base saying please Don't leave look at what we have for you This is not a phone meant to convert people at least not yet We're really interesting email from rich from lovely Cleveland that we'll get to later in the show He's got a theory about what Chen might be up to that could shed some light on this But yeah, this is this is just blackberry trying to save its base at this point You and their blackberry thing the verge reports Apple says they received reports of an issue with the iOS 8.01 update are actively investigating those reports and have actually polled the update for the time being 8.0.1 was the first bug fix update to iOS 8 these first patches notoriously cause unexpected problems Sometimes they get polled most of the time they don't though So this is a little more serious than usual this time affected phones showed no service and Touch ID was unresponsive after the update the issue seemed to only affect iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 plus though The best workaround if you have a 6 and you did already update would be to downgrade to iOS 8 You can search downgrade to iOS 8 for several tutorials Mac rumors has one 9 to 5 Mac the next web will link to the next web one in our in our show notes But you you probably want to downgrade and wait for them to reissue that update Recode reports Comcast filed its response to comment on its proposed merger with Time Warner cable Comcast told the US FCC that Netflix dish network and discovery among others opposed the deal because the companies failed in quote extortion attempts to get special favors Yeah, Comcast actually used the word extortion once and extortionate demands twice in the real filing discovery and Comcast Responded by saying they they continued to attempt intimidate opposing voices discovery said that about Comcast and Netflix said quote It is extortion when Comcast fails to provide its own customers the broadband speed They've paid for unless Netflix also pays a ransom. Whoa Look at this ransom extortion Intimidation come on folks is not fat Tony's house of legitimate business here First of all, I don't think they're using any of those words correctly I don't think any of those words are being used in in a manner consistent with their definitions. I Ran some kid out of a neighbor's lawn Tell that one's supposed to be Maybe intimidation is used correctly. I think whether it's true or not. I think that one might be The only one I could I could defend squarely But yeah, no these these guys Millionaires fighting with billionaires here essentially it's not fat Tony's house of legitimate business. It's fat Tommy's Reuters reports adobe will close its research and development arm in China by the end of December adobe will maintain its sales presence in Shanghai Beijing Guangxu Shenzhen Hong Kong and Taiwan and focus on market development in the region last week adobe reported its worst quarterly revenue for Asia in the Last five years. I'm not asking you to be a mind reader here, Tom But it seems like there's a number of reasons that they would pull out of China number one the one that the moment I read this I was like well It's got to be over the piracy because adobe is Notorious about trying to crack down on piracy of its own products, you know That's the reason to move to to adobe cloud creative cloud and so on I figured it was something like that But then I start reading this article and it talks about no is because Snowden revealed American spies or some read is this a security thing is a surprise even yeah, there was there was a source who told Reuters anonymously that part of the reason was because of China's policy of intimidating US companies and retaliation over spying Honestly, that really sounds like a defense to me adobe reported worst quarterly revenue for Asia in the last five years Now that could be because of piracy That could you could make a defense of that could also be that adobe just isn't as relevant in the marketplace It's it's hard to say. I think like Apple and Microsoft adobe is probably feeling a little bit of a crackdown and a little bit of a Chillier environment in China than they've had before but I wouldn't say that's the main cause for sure Time for some news from you These are submitted at our subreddit daily tech news show that reddit.com as are many Of the stories you hear every day Well, I always like to highlight a couple of them right here T2 T2 submitted the polygon story that Blizzard CEO Mike Morheim said the company will end development of the rumored video game code named Titan and today Kotaku compiled everything it had heard about the game from various sources inside Blizzard They're basically like they canceled the game so we don't really need to protect this information anymore Do we it had apparently been intended to be a near future earth set after an alien invasion had been fought off Players would choose one of three factions work normal jobs during the day that was to be your crafting professions You could be an entrepreneur or a butcher and then at night You would turn into a superhero like fighter against the other factions in a sort of a Team Fortress 2 style game Morheim told polygon they canceled the game because it just wasn't good enough then they weren't satisfied with how fun it was Yeah, you know the bummer is it's not even like they failed because the idea wasn't Massive or or ambitious enough. I mean what a great idea it is But especially seeing what happened with with bungee's destiny, which is getting you know lukewarm reviews and people Essentially saying like no you're saying it's not an MMO, but it is an MMO and other people saying you're saying it's not an FES, but it is an FES You know but essentially at the end of the day the main complaint seems to be that it's just grinding and people just get bored of doing That same thing I if anybody is going to do it It's gonna be like you know either valve or blizzard are the kind of companies That'll just put the just at the end of the day wasn't good enough and they can sit on the cash and fix it Yeah, and frankly good on blizzard if they didn't feel it was good enough even after ten years of development to Just pull the plug and say, you know, we'll try something else I hear that members of that Titan team are still together and working on something so who knows what we'll see I'll tell you a man and we've talked about this like on on all the different shows we've done It's like a failure is never in a bubble. It always turns into you know It is a part of shaping something better down the road Yeah Habituala condolce passes along the CNET report that Boeing has partnered with a company called liquid robotics to make seafaring robots That's right. Boeing wants to build robots that can surveil the open seas looking for drug traffickers and submarines Or maybe drug traffickers in submarines because why limit yourself liquid robotics is the company that built the wave glider sv3 It's a self-powered seafaring data center that can stay in the ocean for months at a time And we green researchers so add Boeing for the military aspect in Boots soldiers Brian man, I got really excited until the first application was to hunt down people in a drug war. I was like whatever Unverified Scene that could be below grade think of it that way But you don't want to give we don't have time to get me started on this I say we move right along sir. All right, and that is a look at It's bad ibuprofen it's past its date. I don't know Kick off today's main discussion story with a call Thomas O'Neill who actually I I want to apologize I usually don't do this I did edit Thomas's call because he had two parts one was about blizzard and the canceling of Titan But the other I think nicely kicked our topic for today Hi, this is Thomas O'Neill and then what you do is I need to show and I just want to give some Feedback on the iPhone case you guys are still doing that basically my buddy he got the iPhone 6 and I heard a news article about this also, but Apparently the iPhone 6 a little too fragile and it bends in tight pockets There's been quite a few reports of that. Thanks guys. I really enjoy the show and patreon. Love you guys. Have a good day Now if I was dr. Daisy And I'm ten years old and I go in to the doctor's office in Greenville And I say dr. Daisy my iPhone bends when I put it in a tight pocket Dr. Daisy would say well, don't put it in a tight pocket then and charge me like five dollars because it is that the equivalent of him Of him saying like well, don't bend it that way. Yeah, you're folding you're holding in your pocket wrong, right exactly Here's this here's the scoop. All right. This started with reports on Mac rumors There's a bunch of Twitter posts about it as well people said dude my iPhone 6 plus seems bent look at this You know and they're showing it a little warped Unboxed therapy on YouTube did a comparison. They actually did an iPhone 6 plus bending attempt where he like intentionally bends it and makes it bend and then took a note 3 which has a plastic case not an anodized aluminum case and Bent it a little bit. Well, it was not able to bend it nearly as much as an iPhone 6 plus Russell Holly a geek calm looked at his own iPhone 6 plus and realized hey This wasn't bent when I did the review on it, but it seems to be a little warped now I had noticed that so now there's reports all over of iPhone 6 plus is bending you got to remember this is anodized aluminum It's a strengthened aluminum, but it's still aluminum, which is a bendable metal It's 7.1 millimeters thick and it's 5.5 inch screen means that it is more likely to bend cult of Mac Put together a great Pictorial of all the other phones that also have reported having bending Samsung Galaxy S4 the iPhone 5s The a Sony Xperia z1 the iPhone 5 which I can attest to having bent one The blackberry q10 the HTC evo the oppo the iphone 4s So Can you get this repaired at a genius bar? The next web actually contacted apple support and said there is a test called a visual mechanical inspection that the device would have to pass They didn't say what the test involved or what the tolerances were But if it passed your repair would be covered if not you'd have to pay for the repair All right. Let me give you a hint a visual bendable Inspection or whatever it is bend it Brian bend it guy going like uh, yeah No, this looks to me like you sat on it and so I'm afraid we can't replace it um This is a really weird story because on one hand I want to say that this is the media blowing up a story out of nothing Because you know Headline reads aluminum bends like duh, of course however on the flip side I will say that it is surprising that that phones have gotten so thin and made of such Um a a light material that they would blend or bend and whatever. Uh, and so um, will it bend exactly? That's got to be the new show So I understand that the public would be surprised by this because I was surprised by this I understand that the news The news is covering it. That's fine too. I don't begrudge any of that However, I am somebody who has dealt with this who never Keeps his phone in his pocket when he sits down not because I'm worried about the phone bending but because for four years I've suddenly had earbuds in and if you have your earbuds in and they're plugged in on the bottom When you sit you're gonna torque that you're gonna break your earbuds So like the hygiene I developed is anytime I ever sit down I always keep my pocket or my phone in my front left pocket Like when I'm walking and then when I sit down I take it out and I set it in my lap That's always what I've done. So it's like, uh, I guess I guess if you're not somebody who always has your buds in Then this is news and you have to change your habits. So I understand that Yeah, and and and frankly that's what's going on here is people are getting used to having a bigger phone 10 million people bought this phone or or at least 10 million phones were sold over the weekend, right? So a lot more people have a 5.5 inch phone that have had one in the past all at once Anyway, yeah, and I find myself at the curious position of the the phone I'm using right now is the traditional 6 and I've got a 6 plus on the way So I'm sitting here just terrified that the 6 plus I'm gonna regret having bought but we'll see But here's the thing. Okay I I think maybe there's a reasonable expectation that apple could have Informed people. Hey, don't forget this is a much bigger phone than you're probably used to Because we see you have an iphone 4 or 5 etc If you're used to putting it in your pocket, which we know everybody does You remember that, you know sitting in your pocket. It might be a little more likely to get bent So be extra careful with it, right? But this is not a new problem as the cult of max said big phones can bend people with skinny jeans We decided on the morning stream are in the worst possible scenario for this because it puts the most pressure on whatever you stick in your Pocket and a lot of people buy apple iPhones probably have skinny jeans. I'm just gonna guess on that, right? All right, look as somebody who's wearing skinny jeans, right? I'm offended there and what kind of phone do you have? My back pockets. Boom No, and and there is a tradition now When an iphone comes out that it has to be perfect And whatever flaw and every device that comes out has a flaw whatever flaw surfaces blows up Into a big controversy in 2009 the 3gs had a yellow tint to the screen 2010 and Tate you're holding it wrong. It might lower your reception a little bit if you hold it in a certain way 2011 there was a yellowing screen controversy again 2012 was mapgate with with ios adding apple maps 2012 was also the purple lens flare Which apple only responded to by saying well, you know, you might want to cover the the phone then if you get the little Purple lens flare when you take a picture 2013 there was the motion sickness thing over ios 7 and the tilt shift It was probably 2013 was their biggest success. They didn't have anything really really bad 2014. It's the fact that it bends Yeah, man, which to me that's a triumph. It's like look And you've heard me say in other contexts that the only time you have no problems is when you're dead So all you want to do is trade up for a better set of problems through the rest of your life Or your life or your life You're hanging out with lice. Um, but the important thing is like this is the best problem We've had how rad is it that the phones are so light and so cheap and so big that you can bend them by hand, man That's awesome. Get bent How does your iphone apple should like totally lean into this like how does your iphone bent? What do you know what they think about this way? It's like, you know, it's like, oh, I don't know You know a coke can that came out the other day. Look at this. I got bended with my hand Doesn't say this is a poorly made cork coke can is what it is Here's the thing. I you know, I try to strike a balance and say, yeah, maybe apple could have done a few more things to alert Their populace that this phone because it's bigger It needs to be treated a little differently But I have bent an iphone before because I kept it in my front pocket and it sat and it was wedged Uh, and it didn't break it just bent. So wouldn't lie flat on the table anymore Uh, and that's more likely to happen in a larger phone like this So I I think this is just our typical apple outrage And we can now check off that box, you know, right with the 0.01 problems the 0.01 software update problems that always happen We got both of those out in one day. Isn't that great for those of you guys playing apple bingo? Take your free square. Congratulations Uh calendar for tomorrow september 25 through the 27th is the online news association conference in chicago illinois Today back in 1993 broderbund software released the game mist for the macintosh computer It became a record-setting bestseller and helped popularize cd rom drives I played a lot of mist in austin I recall I hated mist.

Thanks. Bye Uh in in just okay silicon valley made me laugh. Good a good one bio cow Uh when this is in regards to the google eu regulation brian Uh and patrick vasia pointed out yesterday that google has a 98 percent market share So what do you do to ensure a fair marketplace in that situation? This is one of the and and again I I don't know nothing about nobody but I remember reading an article at some point that says that it's not illegal to have a monopoly Right illegal is to use your monopoly position in an unfair manner So it's like it could be that google just happens to be the best one and that's why they have 98 percent And I'm I'm gonna say that's impossible But certainly if they got there because they used their dominant position In order to force people to make them the default search engine on x y or z then that would be illegal. Um, I mean, I don't know the eu is weird I'm sorry. They're weird this whole like forget about your past thing that they're doing on google Like telling them to with hold links that are over seven years old or whatnot I don't remember that story because I had to remove it. Okay, see And that's and also removed is my interest in caring about the way you does their thing I'm sorry. I'm just not well educated enough Rich from lovely cleveland wrote in said a while back I watched the 1997 macworld keynote that mark steve jobs returned to apple apple was at rock bottom And jobs was trying to rally the troops and point away forward One of the major points was market focus and the main question posed was where is apple relevant Where is apple still the dominant player which market segments remember this is 1997 in the case of apple It was creative content and education and in the following years apple completely zeroed in their focus on those segments Creating power max for the former and the bulbous plastic iMac and iBook for the latter This didn't win them a vast market share, but they dominated in those segments enough to allow the company to get back To provide the luxury of exploring other markets Why bring this up now he says it was my first thought when I saw the reviews for the blackberry passport It is an uncompromising business device That has no pretensions of directly competing with ios or android unlike their previous effort with the z10 It's such a remarkably focused device john shen is embracing their niche status as their business model Of course, this is where the analogy with apple ends blackberry faces a very steep climb to profitability and relevance And they've burned through a lot of goodwill that the brand had with fundamental mismanagement although to be fair So did apple at the time, but if the company is to survive It's this kind of bold and perhaps bizarre strategy That will allow them to do so as someone who literally has no interest in the product personally I find the passport fascinating in its focus Yes Dude, yes. Yes. Yes a billion times. Yes. This is the smartest thing either Of the two of us this guy rich had the smartest thing we said said on the show As a matter of fact, I say they go a step farther They need to focus their brand not only on business, but specifically security blackberry could make big noise By talking about the ways they don't cooperate with the nsa If this was the securest device that you could get for communicating online I think they would they they could do very very well Great insight. I think he's right from beginning Dan And and the fact that they are allowing with blend to manage across devices Shows that they are interested more in your security and your management and your enterprise level The fact that they have touch on the physical keyboard says we know you want a physical keyboard You are blackberry niche, but we're going to make it better We're not going to just stop by continuing to throw chicklets out here So they've got gestures on there. You can you can go next in your email. You can swipe to delete This is I think rich is right. I think blackberry is showing like we are going to double down on the people We know still want what we make what we're good at and then hopefully if we can stabilize Then we can move forward from there. Good stuff rich from lovely cleat. I appreciate that Finally regarding apples desire to store customers personal data your boss chris My boss chris writes in I feel that regardless of any company's best intentions any data in their possession is subject to the honesty of those in their Employee larger companies introduce a greater probability that someone may Misuse the information. I personally would not store data in this way besides my memory needs all the exercise it can get I'm with you chris and that's why apple's making a big deal of the things that are stored on your phone They can't even get to so that that is a defense against what you're saying here, but the stuff you store in iCloud They have not been as rigid to say like yeah, you have the key to your iCloud stuff too You can't get to that. I don't because I don't think that's true something like spider oak Is one of the few products out there that says yeah, you have the key your stuff stored here But we can't look at it either So, you know, you need to see something like that from them to really satisfy somebody like chris And that my friends is the daily tech news show.

Oh, well, yeah, I know That's true That's just it still floors me that By the way speaking of women like I think my favorite part because I bought Spoiler for next week's court killers, you know, I bought Iron Man 3 because it's not available for rental and I was like fine Yeah, let me just buy it. It was a good movie and peeking in here and there as when watching penny watch it and like seeing her giddiness like there are so many sweet moments I love the fact that when the Paltrow spends like as much time in the Iron Man suit as As Tony Stark does it's amazing. Yeah. Yeah, really enjoyed that No, that's such such a well put together movie. Yep Uh, would you like some titles? Yes, definitely Okay, the number one I have voted for this title and really like it is will it bend? Uh, simple uh letterman reference Uh, there is a TM next to it.
