this coverage of CES is brought to you by Toyota it's dark slacker here with android authority reporting live from CES 2014 and we are here with a very very special known or guessed a personal inspiration of ours in mind specifically John render of technobuffalo dude RZ thank you for having me man it's good to be here that's really great to be here you know we're really part of a really select lucky group of people I think the most fortunate of to get to do what we love for a career and it puts food on it is like mind blow and I'm only even rice and beans right now was it as long as it keeps you going the fact that we get to talk about technology and their shows like this exists that's right in audience like yours that net watch us is is incredible so how many CS is have you been to in your life this is my fifth CES that's been it's been a lot of a lot of cesses yeah if you if you what numbers is for you just be my third one yeah so even teen you've been here enough to see it like the show totally yeah totally change Oh radically changed I'm like giant announcements yeah to like we aren't micro stuff yeah it's been really strange to see companies not do big product announcements or they want their own state instead of being upstaged like 10 minutes later by something else we're just talking about the elf in the room the fact that apple doesn't have a presence at any of these events a lot of people like Samsung our student companies they board that model and they want to take an in-house they want to control the environment yeah no I think Apple to Apple inadvertently or advertently killed yeah CES and otherwise there'd be huge announcements millions of dollars spent yeah and then 20 minutes later there's another huge announcer everybody forgets about wishes announced actly and you know they're always doing like Samsung do is older event before Moldova Congress a always and you know they like to catch the attention getting the wave and they're always talked about during the event it's really smart actually no I agree unfortunate ever come be like Samsung made released like 90 products and once they're like they're always the new announcement coming out yeah have you seen our galaxy pro Galaxy Note pro galaxy the new branding is confusing don't you think it's so confusing I couldn't keep track beforehand you got like I there's so many Samsung products I think their model if like if there's a rumor about Apple making our product like an iPad pro they're like we we need that but it's worked for them they've been very successful and they certainly you know they make they make good product so it really do pen ain't broke don't fix it and they also make almost virtually every single component that goes into their mobile technology I mean they're like the largest heavy-duty construction industry business in the world yet and on and on they do a lot behind the scenes I think with the whole Apple lawsuit even though they technically lost they came out so so far ahead and kept them sure position them for market dominance I agree they essentially got to take apples R&D and only paid a billion dollars for it cheap it says but you know something just really nerdy him something I've talked to a lot of engineers and today on in other places but is that Apple still possesses the most advanced tool and dialing process in the world they invest billions of dollars on foxconn and their partners in China so they always have the most advanced fabrication and feel you know it's unmistakable you pick up an iphone 5 5 s it has the best build quality of any phone you know I think that was true except for the HTC One which which I love the HTC One and you can look at iOS and say maybe a little bit stale and you look at KitKat for Android and you're like it's really awesome like do I care about the build quality or ever you know more open OS that I can do anything I want with and that looks really nice you know we have something in common we also we love technology obviously we're really passionate about what we do but we followed in your footsteps and we actually gave the PadFone or sees me at the zenfone an order from Andhra Authority place for the best android phone simply because the build quality of it was fantastic you know and it's cheap and that's not tonight it's really I think you have to look harder now yeah to find a bad phone yeah then you do to really find just a you know a good phone everything's good everything's good now I mean it's got the point where Android especially like everything's pretty much has a dual core in a Giga ram or more and injury will run great undo Gorna Giga ran up so this they did with android 4.4 kitkat cleaned it up for you it's incredible with off contract phones like the Moto X and oh gee like amazing it's a go why it's not a contracting well I think a lot of people see the glitz and the glamour of a new device is heavily marketed and see $99 they just want to continue with rising so my family you know that's that's the mentality you're like what and I guess ironically we're promoting that whole like we kind of want mentality I new phones so we're we're we're contributing to the contradiction yes you know of it i'll get to philosophical of technology you know it's the last day the show i'm gonna wax poetic oh yes what did you love what was your favorite thing here at CES john so they're a couple things that I really loved and they're not overly traditional I guess first they actually are both in LG ok I'm actually LG and nikon LG had a 34 inch widescreen Thunderbolt monitor which looked ridiculously awesome out and they also had a mirror in a clear display would you do you can't see those I didn't see that but I did see the display for ya really good good looks like a window but it's a 10-point multi-touch touchscreen which is awesome Wow then we had a chance to go to nikon they've got like a 68 cameras set up they take a full 3d image of you I said it was awesome and they were you inside of the game I've always wanted to crush goombahs and now I can actually get a chance to do that and so coming up we have a lot of really big paradigm shifting stuff coming up huge oculus rift I mean everything is just getting faster and better like what do you see as being the next big thing yeah oculus is really at the heart of that I mean it's sort of a countdown so it's kind of weird yeah it's a countdown to when they get bought yeah and becomes more mainstream but they're committed to bringing the v1 out to market on themselves so I do think something like that is really going to change things certainly 4k yeah was whether we want it or not getting just like jammed down our throats Santa phone overkill that's so over I thought 1080p phones look great 2560 by 1600 displays that are coming out I lesbian chopra make it yeah for mobile it tell me how long the battery's gonna last the screams are advanced screens are advancing so far advanced a better technology I'm not sure they have 1080p and a phone that's gonna last me yeah you know but I understand the appeal behind something it looks like you're looking yeah yeah damier its can get it to the point where you're watching a show in like 4k and your phone's gonna look like you're just acting it like you want David Caruso to actually act out CSI miami in your house to get better resolution you know what you're getting on your tablet or phone in terms of wearable technology are you proponent of google glass and other augmented type realities I'm good for life good for people I don't I'm split on google glass in all in all honesty I I see the appeal yeah and I see the potential for but right now it's more of a toy yeah I think we're bull's eye like I think Qualcomm's talk is is awesome I think the new pebble steel is I'm rocking a pebble that's a beautiful thing to get yeah the pebble steel is great actually won one of our CS awards you know they're a ton of where I got a fuel band on under my broadcast it's slowly creeping into your life I'm laden with with the biometric sensors so your wife and baby can know how your horse I like you I like the other biometric sensors I do not yet have the biometric nipples but perhaps it was good someday I may know i i'd not any of that a quite yet but they do have a drop cam up so i can watch the little guy and yeah it's got creepy to say watch him sleep and you might not know but a big congratulations to thank you wife just gave birth legends I've lost a baby way I would swim dad yeah I got it huh gotta get three and a half month old and it's been it's been awesome to look at him dig you're a person like you actually exists yeah we're like there was no person and now there's a person it's been it's been really kind of cool well that's what it's all about I think what we often tend to forget is that technology is just designed to augment our lives to enhance them to make them better you know to increase communication with our loved ones and form more meaningful relationships I agree and we get lost all the glitz and the glamour of all these brands and all the breakneck pace of with which things change you know but I I couldn't agree more and every time I like to look at my phone and look up there in conversation I think it hurts a little bit to have to do that it's actually why I think something and I never saw the use of a SmartWatch really until I can be like the less it's still rude but less shoot I'm like reply to that nope nope I'm sure it's a lot less invasive like you're with people then whipping out your phone valentino three ambien leave especially galaxy not throwing really odd but what a phony nah actually what I knew I do i do i love i love i love phablets i'm not gonna lie i can't i can't hide it okay that's awesome well you know it's just such an honor for us you know the real thank you I'm honored I'm honored to be he to be on your
