Ep. 1344: Gadgets for rich, white people

Culture
This November 4 place them. -- -- -- -- -- right time Donald bell I am Hollywood -- and a buzz out loud to get podcasts indiscriminately it's episode thirteen 140 or below I've survived our trip to the parade yesterday. Apparently I'm still here so I guess -- -- the -- -- so earnings for pairing with that's incident by the way audience -- are like whirlwind episode. Yeah we got -- -- -- there aren't that great super awesome news we -- ago but today joining us in the house. Mr. -- that's right. And so. I mean rally that and they're in -- battery died today were when we get to the gadget segment we're gonna have specials the and it -- it might gadget sensors Brian. So it might agree unit on an intimately and other than your wit charm in general attractiveness as well -- my parent Donald Donald and paranoia paranoid so I guess that they -- -- Houston Ronald Reagan for the great -- when you think. One of the things we did not stick around for a yesterday on our -- for -- to the tech news -- a backseat a lot of them. -- -- -- live stream of Facebook's. What's going on with mobile event. Which turns out was okay what they announced it was. Among other things and new deals. Feature that will include coupons and kickbacks and suffered various vendors that's integrated with their places via platform yes which is basically yet another way to put portable or -- -- something and one of things in the press comes as they mentioned how. Geo location services are -- -- -- become a significant. They hadn't been an outright named go while they -- named Leo they did not specifically mentions the name or square and that. Is clearly intentional yet there there -- -- -- Am I BHF if you well and. We when they Lott would face that launched places never about -- -- know earth where the one thing apart crystal had. Was the deals and you know that rewards and I mean I guess -- the entire thing. So like people didn't really -- -- Places that much in face. I am -- -- notice is like a bribery of liking now you'll use places because you can get cheaper stuff okay did you actually start checking him. So you know I was looking out what are what are these deals -- gonna make them compelling so it actually basement posted. Some of these hot deals and so these are ten an entry like the go between for our -- people work out. You just check and donates a dollar to a children's health you go to you go to warriors game but hey if you check into locals it lawyers' game. You get exclusive invite later on two two like meeting with a player on the team like that tech stuff and there's also discounts obviously. But some you know 20% off an American offers an -- -- these things is McDonald's Macy's JC Penney to them. Lots of places legally and that and a 20% off -- -- -- -- the customers to record updates you have -- like 40% every dollar shirt I don't feel so. I'm just say it like other -- -- these deals and these are partnerships are actually making me say okay meal -- places now the flip side because we -- -- liberal FaceBook -- FaceBook -- is that if you take advantage of their deals in places program. They said it automatically will show Wonderwall you can't hide it's you can't prevent people from seeing this it blatantly no matter what you do. We'll show it everywhere can easily check Neeon for the deals when I'm not there. Probably meeting and it lets you disable S and Canada gap perfect marriage eaten and that's a classic difference -- I don't I think Sharia. -- yeah. Okay. -- -- -- But that's a class events to -- but ultimately classic is the light you know I really is is it's just a repackaging. It that clever way to bring backbeat get. Which with that whole thing where every time you -- something -- would post annual honor and it's your friends like -- -- cola you know and this is that. But now it's just disguised as it in -- -- but now you get something. Okay the palm an upgraded the palms upgrading your -- -- your weaken another night on the house. Okay I'm gonna totally is. And now gonna become as it becomes this -- or is it worth spending your fear and get a free night at the palms you know like. Probably -- -- when you're not gonna have any friends that he liked it or you just do the -- -- runs your laptop and and exit out. I guess yeah I mean you can remove it later but it's kind of limit you -- but it would time out -- the point of it is that these deals actually compelling. And -- back there are pretty it would be like you deliberately don't check in a McDonald's and your moment of weakness because you don't wanna coming up on a wall that you're getting a dollar off like that. Happy paying in this case are actually giving a dollar to the Ronald McDonald house so -- Donald it's not selfish that makes. The problem that they thought -- excitement that says Susan -- -- and yeah I wouldn't let. Yeah yeah. Taco Bell so another thing with force for those you can -- -- seconds with the deal that are associated with deals -- is faced with it via at least not across the board that can McGovern but they aren't -- musings as they say make mobile more social. Absolutely that's what they're doing I think I was. That all of their announcement through it they also have universal sign on to something happens with like an iPhone app I think -- -- and Yelp -- part of that so if you cited your FaceBook app. In auto signs in for some of these other apps you don't have to keep on like -- Interestingly though and we -- how we speculated yesterday with and one of the things that we would really like to have is you know some better apps. Because they're in I'm -- but the FaceBook -- just aren't all the way there yet Android when it's terrible half the things you wanna do it takes you out. Of the actual app into the touch up eighth but got -- lately it's -- -- And then we said hey how about that iPad how about that iPad -- that iPad app well. Mark Zuckerberg was asked directly why there is no FaceBook iPad -- And I have to say I and his response rather shocking -- as an area that you so he. It didn't like about three when he of the video which -- -- -- -- announcement. He was very dismissive. Of not only the question but the platform -- -- prepared for -- to say -- yeah clearly ready -- has -- -- questions -- because. They're okay there you go -- our. Next question. -- whenever I get up -- in our hands. I -- -- mobile next. School. -- It's not mobile -- -- a computer that's like different different things I think Apple would disagree with him well sorry. Yeah -- -- commodities conversations you know it's a likable guy it's a prime. And how much really friendly. Friendly respectful human and he seems like now is -- -- hang out of them are. Actually -- the thing about this is later later in the clip he emphasizes. Facebook's definition of mobile is a different experience with -- and -- there it would making -- mobile as mobile phone then the iPad is obviously a more mobile device. Than others but he's releasing its is that the -- problems we -- want to -- and focus on things like the iPad because they were all here to talk about mobile apps. That's they're yeah they're still bottom line is there's no iPad app. And it doesn't sound like they're gonna -- not just iPad but tablet. At the moment there's not at the moment and it doesn't -- Mikey has not invested I just I feel like mobile is. Although their -- making where -- -- the that is the one blind spot at -- but they took they -- in wait too long. To make to get their wraps up to speed remember initially was saying that he was -- -- -- do they said they weren't going to do an iPhone app now at first. I mean they're happy with their mobile version of the website. I mean I feel like that's there wasn't really -- spot where they don't quite get it and they think -- is dead wrong about this because I've been used in that app that web experience. On the iPad and it's not as good as now I would rather have an app and I think a lot of consumers would which is -- clearly he's being asked about this enough. -- give that Turkey responds. Yeah anyway. I could see that back out to -- like. And he is -- -- developing a free. I mean it did not dock and -- turn -- -- something. But Aaron has subsequent interview from this that I guess there is a an app maker that makes it's essentially like a wrap for. Though FaceBook website that's marketed as an iPad app and -- yeah I have it ideally I'd -- it as they wanna. It's called in the way of browser -- leaving money on the table by not making and a. When -- -- -- handing over to somebody -- yeah absolutely and I -- different kind of advertising within a minute I just think having an eight -- friendly to FaceBook browser. I I've been thinking about downloading it because I can't stand just trying to use the way and maybe it's something about safari -- the iPad but it's just kind of knowing that it doesn't know. That was all right honestly I didn't like assemblage of -- -- when you exit tolerate. That's like it but she just manna and he went and obesity jerk about. You can -- there's an. Rule in life -- you can be as right as you want -- -- -- mr. Let's take a quick break actually after -- big -- block and when we come back we're gonna talk about Apple's deliberate plot. To break your iPhone. -- you had to know it was coming a lawsuits have been filed against Apple in San Diego. Alleging that the company. Per hour of sleep I'm purpose triple -- iPhone three G with the IOS for introduction in order to boost iPhone for sales. Yet now this is just an initial lawsuit are the person his Beilin is it's a woman in San Diego is hoping that it gets elevated to class action lawsuit over so many complaints. Thousands of complaints actually about people's three G performance the freezing in the hanging we then have -- yeah I actually did a video to show people how to downgrade their phone. From Iowa sport -- three because there was so such a big deal and that is ugly. That's part of what she said according to her complaint Apple knew that the update for my OS three -- -- that would basically brick her phone she called it. It's is -- it turned -- a device with little more use them out of a paper weight just to criticize Apple over the difficulty in downgrading to the previous operating system without having to becoming hacker. -- which. And she said that even though Apple has actual knowledge of thousands of complaints from iPhone three G -- yes consumers. They don't allow for those same users -- consumers to download and reinstall earlier an optimist. I was three. Net and now Apple has really -- it -- I notes that -- but they did release an updated -- the stylus that does perform better -- -- three -- But at the same time that Mohawk yeah it's a little over about three months actually and it's one of this is one of it's great situations where the lawsuit itself as a little -- Triple threat -- it's a little and it'll trying to say. Apple with evil intent put out -- OS. Knowing make. It in a break -- but. -- -- -- your business model. Is forced death march upgrade right this is nothing new for Apple every new thing that they put out doesn't work with the old thing. That and they I mean I have always thought that that their product release cycles frankly kind of abusive. Because it's just like. And oh yeah those peripherals they don't work anymore of -- accessories that yes. -- -- -- operating system there's no way that in -- Amazon is an operating system for a long time for from a laptop so like. Even night I old school -- memory -- Eight to nine. Nine to 1010 to ten wisely. Going by the the each -- about they would make my laptop more obsolete more and more about what features and be completely obsolete you know that -- -- manager. You and it do you it would be able to read this would even. On a smaller -- let's talk about their dock connector. Only when they've upgraded products earlier speaker set that you paid under fifty dollars or chargers. That hello party plug that have -- They changed. They change it enough so that you have to buy new ones -- -- -- -- -- that the Israelis might ever 1190 because they -- you remember that when -- let -- that's coach adapter I -- there was and I read about -- like a product that shouldn't exist -- -- money and little dollar adapter that turns your dock connector into -- dock connector. And that will work with your phone because it Dell dock connector which looks just like I'm -- the new dock -- doesn't actually even though it can connect your iPhone like it in my old BMW ray didn't. It had the iPod connector but it didn't work with my -- because why -- there is other players in the same thing and like of those people lost that the both sound dot systems the one that you -- like 4500 dollars and I'm like a really nice those -- here I -- And the firewire issue came -- concede they -- the voltage on the recharging from Mike -- we also part of the fire like -- voltage anymore. For no good damn reason because it's a at a we have as you need to buy new stuff as I guess Scotia again this but I can who puts us both coaches and happy are you kidding -- I don't -- -- they did -- -- and I didn't make an entire -- made up of Apple hadn't these little team -- The -- -- its adapters specifically for. The Bose sound -- customers who -- though you and won't make in the Big Easy thing yet -- in the -- they're that the idea this is they do this for the accessories they make the largest margins off their goods in the stores up accessories and imagine I mean you could definitely -- you could have made the -- argument about snow leopard. That Apple's new. That the snow leopard release would deliver wood brick your two year old MacBook you know I mean -- let's be honest that's what new operating system versions -- I think it's like. It's frustrating -- the lawsuit is prevalent but the the point is -- But this solution is just plain don't -- if you that he was gonna get -- -- a decent I have a friend who both had to upgrade to from a speech yes the iPhone -- because of the ballots in front -- him and -- -- any upgraded. And he bought the new iPhone -- without realizing that he had to up the he's a less make. To be compatible like my outlook or actually activate is -- gas -- I think and gas. I don't want to like -- Activated on a PC and like it's -- in such a cluster half of life things away he was looking -- -- Apple yeah is this version of iTunes update your phone that is tuned version of iTunes -- -- out of this -- that you don't know how Democrats yeah yeah. Somebody's anyways and it turns out. Oh yeah a woman sorry you and we we know other companies. Do things like this but Apple is probably use the one that that does -- the most. Turns -- back on in other and -- early adopters and continues to do so and it's like B onboard facilities that you viewed which is the buyer of goods and now and -- that it hold it differently. Oh yeah you're holding a bit differently. You're holding her and also you don't want flash on your iPhone or your -- device and lets you apparently really really freaking view it as evidenced by the fact. That's -- buyers iPhone browser which we talked about yesterday which converts flash states you know I've let you play all those as he left -- like -- -- on our website. That will otherwise not -- funnier I did I that was so exciting and popular. -- old owl it's survived only five hours. Similar. -- essentially sold out -- had to pull it. From the market place -- after noticing strain on. Servers that result in employees and essentially their servers crashed because so many people are using it and so they said instead of same. But you know attack fully marketing is always you know beauty and and -- instead of same that are servers crash they said. We're sold out of yeah now I say it sold out in lovely very -- what's our servers are backed up to speed it can -- attacks on the network. Will bring it back to 100. And counting the money that we -- -- The last five hours I I was excited I was so I did acknowledge they can get other I think they were probably just -- again. I was excited about this product I could I had a -- fidelity when -- they're like Causley it's elegant home. Well and take note re enable here invaders than the exact same thing in the chat -- now Apple take -- If customers want watch absolutely that's a -- and a -- and -- couldn't be a better -- demonstration that. Speed of demonstrations the Microsoft connect. Has arrived which mean little all of the nerds are putting up hilariously awkward videos of themselves trying to make it go. Make it -- -- low level it -- -- all around the living room. And it turned out that making it go as a little harder than it should be right but he audience I had it's intimidating and I is just for rich white people. Well the one -- want an excuse you know game games. Gamespot animals that games stopped the store because you know there's no hard and I haven't let you gamespot did a little testing over their own here in our headquarters. And found that it had problems with their face detection with people it characters in -- yeah. Also you how do you have an extremely huge place. Yeah that's where that does explaining whether -- -- people can incumbent but they they so gamespot tested it with few of their darker in employees and -- in the official recognition and her time. If -- seeing them with you know it's all about light yup and that. One of the complaints from -- reviewers was that in his small living room right you had to be not only with the. Back up again I guess that's how Leo least couldn't -- to be at least five or six feet away and then it became this really constraining think it'd be moved a little bit closer or if someone sat behind him yet. Or any kind of back light was back there than that system would see that -- -- -- -- -- -- -- will -- Apple's uranium and Lisa not racists and they make no judgments on the size of your. That is true that well because older clientele can afford that didn't totally horrible we should not -- -- -- -- That's. Problematic if not they didn't do it on purpose to be -- now let's say the only problematic but -- there was and I remember this and it's an article Hewlett-Packard did have some computers at their built in with built in webcams that had problems identified in. Darker -- -- -- people's because like with that at all ballot against just. When I go to Hawaii you connect won't be able to see me I have to say I mean -- -- Connect governor rough -- I'm not gonna like -- they hadn't put out any review units and so there were rumors back you know it's starting to circulate them. Maybe it wasn't packet and an out of people are getting their hands on it and it's apparently a nightmare that -- players like I'm gonna -- -- And then it recommends that you move all this for an interview talked about this and you if you don't have great faith. Yeah kinda thing about this is buildings and -- are interested you do it -- thing -- decoration and -- about this. Part of -- I don't feel like it needs to necessarily even if like the hardcore techie fans. Destroyed and shoot it down now if a mom at home sees your kid and did an out of you just using your body. And it works pretty darn well they're going to buy it. -- like it's it is. It's super funny use when it works in your environment -- little -- but. It is like an experience that you haven't had before so I don't know yet I still like it problem so yes I think this -- against anyone of those hot this is gonna be. Maybe I don't know -- -- anymore hotter than the iPad but its price point is a lot sexier. -- -- it -- of -- -- beta now like they're gonna have to work out some of these things mean to be fair it had a rough launched in some of those in from the commentary about and other reviews. Have been as it similarly similar to what you said which is going to look -- you can get it working at the space awesome it's fun I just I can't wait to see the Sony PS3. Campaign for like there was no there there one how they got yeah -- -- -- The mother ice cream oh we won't get it right now I'm all about go we have buttons I hated that happen and we're buttons and we're compatible with people who aren't quite. And and many -- -- -- January if you why you really know how to anywhere you want history of Microsoft you're talking in the wrong place -- I think the -- houses -- small upgrade. And other stories about people not understanding thing -- -- the streaming media west conference is going on right now and then DISH Network VP of online content development and strategy. Made this comment he basically said that Hulu is destroying. The TV industry. Bruce I've and that if I can -- believe tomorrow morning and I don't have a pay TV service I think that's bad. And if people decide that they don't have to pay for TV for pay TV. Then one of the pillars of the TV industry. Starts crumbling. They didn't agree free on TV -- on over there yet. Incidentally is where you thought about -- it's also make -- also thinks it's bad because he doesn't make. That extra money that they hope to -- -- -- -- yeah I think Atlanta who do you think I in the TV industry who wants to -- -- really expensive dish packets horrible things that bad and it would likely I'll I think a lot of the tech media has similar response upon reading the public. -- is destroying the TV industry. Yup. -- -- why is there that unfortunately happens all the time in business that -- -- technologies come along and you cannot title like force legislators to protect it. -- me I think it's also it's like it's. Is planning is pointing the finger at Iran and Iran and and Miami out of -- enemies is not the worst ones at least there's there's a way to make money off of having your content on if you would just get behind that embraces like Hamas and I have on record labels getting really pissed off that like Apple for iTunes Verisign you know the music so cheap when really the enemy. Existed long before them and file sharing and all. They -- they were able no one had trouble with an ideal or a model that actually was suitable for people to jump on so this guy. Is mad about that it became public the Hulu model he would've been happy as a -- He would have said Hulu is the greatest thing but because he didn't and now he's ideas like that -- he's upset about it. I think I do you think they history will look back at like -- dish. Network I mean they dish like phenomena as -- the most ludicrous -- in the world when. Like when people when he drives do -- think about people actually melting their own dishes outside their homes put on their balconies. -- -- -- -- Get a television signal that was beamed at to a satellite and then being back down to them directly to their home and everywhere have to have this little tiny -- bowl and now -- to their balcony -- slick. What and why not just get yourself on the Internet. One cable a lot of -- area but it but these it is remarkable the way. It's not probably remarkable -- -- -- the history of industry. That existing industries try to stand in the way of new development technology and innovation yet there was also strip forgot to put it in the lineup but as -- reminded. About it that movie exact were talking at -- Blu-ray conference about that how they were so happy with the whole red -- the Netflix 28 day delay. For movies that they were big and can be longer. This -- you'll release window where we let you finally get over it for streaming like maybe could be even longer than a month. No one way down turn to piracy if they really wanted to let you ride they would wait. -- like I mean. I guess you've built a business summit that you have got to adapt or die isn't that it's remarkable how they keep trying to get I -- of the basic laws. Of the universe pay a lower -- they only think in dollar and cents they don't even think about what he would do less than nothing and that says he only -- -- and bigger dollars. Dollars and like if only they -- like a let me step away from my office. I'm a consumer what do I want -- while -- just as if I wanna pay attention to the horse -- -- there's no matter automobiles and they totally is Aaron -- that are still -- virtually carriage makers have gasoline. Then you -- you gasoline -- I am I'm Colin audible and move and -- -- our -- because we are just -- and it out today I'm far while -- and quit it don't hurt me. -- -- -- And then they'll love it -- get two -- New and to -- and -- client is getting a major upgrade which will near as I can tell. Make it achieved parity with the iPhone upgrade but that's actually pretty exciting now you'll get the details page there will be. Pasteur pulled out refresh and more polished which personally am excited about that -- have under -- -- make which doesn't. Authenticate very well but that there -- and when you're gonna love the -- down to refresh feature you know I have -- iMac had some pretty yeah the computer also Samsung galaxy at asks first Smartphone to be -- -- Direct certified -- guys and a little Wi-Fi directives that give it is like. Bluetooth for lack by where you do not need -- -- -- have devices speak to each other communicate they can directly -- sync send files shared connections. It's all -- This is all that's good -- for me because I have. Apple value of the -- I had the -- that is fascinating. -- -- -- -- -- If you have a MacBook air and you're having trouble with the in your internal display fading to dark and light after waking from sleep and you've got display issues don't worry. This is one of those instances where Apple's aware of it. At least according to Apple insider and that boy genius says they've obtained a memo saying that Apple is working on a solution in the form of an upcoming software update. So don't worry don't trip. Out if your screen turns green yeah that's it also Jenny Thomas our favorite file -- -- over many years of back and forth. Hurt the recent. Recent for retrial of a retrial she's now been hit with a one point five. Million dollar verdict out -- time it was lowered to 25000 dollars -- they wanted to appeal that and now it's back up to one point five million so. We will continue to see how this develops five years later from. And -- and feel like days Abu. All over again I read a headline -- like moral of the story from 2000 and they wanna make an example over the up and cannot yeah. I fit for our quick hits it's time to move line music gadget -- -- and we're excited because we actually have wanted to get that. Isn't that crowd in the house Donald. So there is it's a Bluetooth portable speaker eight hours battery life. It's super tiny and call -- itty bitty -- white border racer. But -- most of the -- because they get better this small. Sound like crap when I mean. Data can brag about the portability but I think the only thing going for -- this thing actually -- -- pretty balanced sound it's two drivers about what one point 21 point. My inch drivers and a -- and then there's there's a radiator -- from the -- actually -- -- these land. Meaning you powered -- 909 dollars cool. Flesh but I mean you can. -- its its pretty it is job and ready if you -- job on technologies so. You can customize this this Mac -- -- before on the side here we got my parents and anxiety yet all the is an actual kind of a less on the device dislike the job moan -- series headsets now one of those. You can deal like speech to as a mass if you -- to you. Dictate your own SMS messaging really trying to speakerphone in then I can do a voice dialing that's the boy is that -- kind built into this name. All kinds of different apps different languages that can support -- re flashed the Bluetooth like actual technology -- -- is an income if Bluetooth back. Things like that so it's an easy good and a long haul. That I mean that the sound cause those women compared to like that for the same price at 200 dollar like iPhone yeah docking speaker it has that -- It's it's really protection I compare this. -- -- -- about the justification for the price range and anything different color C get to the color of around one boom and really yeah see now -- so. Read out there -- -- because that's a woman thing did not say Afghan -- gone -- well. Again and -- and I -- I. I am. Told I -- -- -- not to my life I've read -- Little -- home like a couple -- because the test this against. Let -- and backpedaling but I'm also gonna fail by that statement and that. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Solid -- these kind of black plastic. Generic design by committee devices. And make my -- the reason -- -- -- -- -- like that kind of sounds a little bit better at that because that book -- -- it -- edit and also you can sync it with their phone you can do voice dialing great it has. The noise assassin technology -- it has noise cancellation so. You know I mean on its its like this turn on your -- and -- did this -- actually referred for all oh. Oh -- just turn it on and on again on they're not able -- panic that the little boom. Who thinks you're at then it went to view it punches you when you go to -- -- more. Yeah it's pared down hopes now it's off if you were on moron I try to play a song now percent up on here in the terrible -- he did that already. Blown. Okay. Yeah. A little bit about and I'm -- Okay. Let's see if this'll we'll talk -- -- -- more. But Gary Gary let's incision here this. You know the song. I'm going. Eventually. Oh they -- haven't liked -- and do it. And our biggest suit so I have to pay some money really everything -- and not the battery life. This that. I love I love how it's just completely. Imprecise. Battery is about allow full yeah whatever battery like media image again does that quick charge to the navy McMillan humble little cables as originally did you hear the love and commitment in ballerina. I did and I'm elements now anyway it's I -- -- up as a stocking -- off. The -- -- -- let it is talking you know dimensions you live in a large living room. And other and you are anglos -- lights go out there looking pretty loud because it originally people who either -- well -- connecting your stuff online -- I don't -- yeah. The there are bringing to the animals or their their American -- pretty heavily it's like an iPad access. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Under the Apple -- while on the air -- botnet at your job -- one point nine applied that he okay and then in other gadgets today I may. It couldn't be more excited about this amazing device gigabytes -- -- top. He eleven point five it to convertible tablet I know you thought that was dead all on -- don't know what it's not. Oh -- convertible tablet is -- live in -- in but now with a special value added it converts in Q. -- -- A desktop days. Eagle mine gotten station some dancing and getting to haunt me because well flip this -- I -- and when I was going into. Because of the screen down to get to that thing you have your -- I had an extra dvd player -- -- yeah. The -- or continent how to do it again you miss them if they in the passer penalty. V for 200 needed to eat and get others to seamlessly integrates from each other Lycos guys instructed not to talk with the I'm gonna go look at that look at that at act. Look we have evaluate -- -- -- content -- amazing fact -- amaze me and GSM my next question is how much. -- -- have to pay to get that. Why can't I have a bad thing they didn't led screen orientation didn't change -- -- on the windows startup screen and while that while I'm hopeful that design is look. At that not -- screamed. -- nothing. Man and I mean you turn it like ninety degrees but then the desktop vivid stayed the same you have all the space on the top in the bottom. Yeah. -- -- -- Oh wow. Public amazing -- that model all the way across my -- Let -- Know how. You. There -- -- yeah that they -- for the -- the hologram but the 3-D hologram in the movie okay we're finally there thank you we're finally almost there only been asking for for about four years now. If I -- -- IBM announced this week from the university of teeth and of their very close to being able to create. 3-D holographic display -- Multi Color 3-D holographic display. Now have -- four inch prototype now that I can't wait to look at this right now narrative that's awesome it and it's. Okay so and look -- -- as they say. And whatever did we're so -- the final goal of the team by the way is a federally funded team. The on time using this at the next -- time animation come here the money on -- game where will see this their ultimate goal is to create a six. To eight -- wide circular viewing screen and they say that within a decade we can potentially be watching the super ball. In a 360 degree surround you imagine how many cameras -- these. Strategically and precisely positions. To get that bad image it when he. Via. Also awesome and frankly I think crucial in this image where evidently no one camera to take responsibility for -- name here anymore. Is it. Web group's latest PR stunt this social media sobriety tests. It's a browser extension that you download and install you customize your test settings for example you can say hey between -- Oh. Probably like what I am and think they am I -- well -- under DePaul down -- around 6 PM yeah. Leo rallying in urban by then so if you go ahead and does not let me put anything underneath -- Twitter YouTube or. Opinion and instantly -- YouTube and that our.
