2012-03-26
today is Friday March twenty thirty 2012 my name is Stephen Beecher i am brian song and I am hollywood welcome to buzz out loud the show that is one day late today it's episode 15 little late and 86 it's a little bit late but we're here both of us in the same building for the first time in probably months rare this is very rare there's a lot going on and so we actually want to start the show we want to just dive right in with our big announcement which I'm really nervous about gonna have to do it again my heart's beating I know I mean yeah tone of her voice goes buzz that lot is going away April fail your me one second april fifth april fifth will be our last day our last show we are ending cnet live in general is going away it's part of a big shift at Cena we are really changing our focus away from audio podcast moving really heavily into on-demand video there's some really exciting stuff going on and i'm doing exciting stuff and and and i think you know in a few minutes you'll understand part of why i like I've been on the road so much and we've all been on the road but a lot a lot is changing you're going to see major changes to seen it live most of the podcasts are going away and and will be eventually replaced by on-demand video shows in some form or be significantly changed the 404 is remaining but they're making major changes to the format there um but this is really hard for us it's really hard like this is the show's been six years of my life like it's pretty much my it's my baby yeah but everything everything even even I Love Lucy had to end that's Bonnie our producer keeps up sure everything has to change your errands and back shows you know the other thing guys is you're not leaving we're still here we're still things you'll see there's nothing that will probably make the community that you guys have really built this show and made it what it is the people in the live chat room we see we see what you're saying we hear you're saying a lot of no's and we're gonna still be here for special major announcements and events yes but overall it's it's a shift philosophically with what cnet as a whole is doing and we're not leaving you we're still going to be working on more things we're going to show you something a little bit but it's just the natural transition of what we're doing here at cnet and yes sometimes business gets in the way we still don't get us wrong we love what we do we're still here at cnet none of us are leaving cnet but this is going to be a natural transition for us as a company to to do things that are going to help us and still be able to provide you guys with content in just a different way and you know change can be hard but change is always for is for the most part for the better I mean those of you listening I change is not good and some people have been even telling us it feels like the shows going away and our schedules have been all over the place and you know it's it's a thing with other obligations and things that we're working on as a whole has started a pull away from this and I think you guys would rather see us do great content that you enjoy then something that is kind of limping on its way out maybe you know and so that's the we you know we love you guys like you guys have meant a lot for me just to develop my skills as a podcaster and to be a part of this I mean Stephen is amazing he's still going to be here producing shows there you know reporters roundtable will still be one of the on-demand shows right I'm still going to be doing round table and we're pitching a bunch of new shows and there's a whole bunch of things in the oven right now that are getting baked and it's going to be really exciting and I just want to say it's been an honor and a privilege to produce this show and I had a blast it's like changed my life you know it's been a year I'm getting alpha clamped right now you but uh it's my phone see the buzz out loud fans have just like embraced me and been so nice tweeting me nice things and just been really awesome ride and I appreciate everything from you guys so don't worry everything's going to be awesome I was going to go

I think we should just make this sucker like a two-hour-long blowout maybe the whole day I don't even know um it's it's gonna be super hard but I want you to know all of that said that I am so excited about what's coming next so justjust even what is coming at cnet you know you're going to get there's a loaded is morphing into a new show called Cena update that with Bridget Carey which i think is going to be amazing it's just going to be it's a very like newsy daily cool show it will be available in audio form so there will still be some audio options and that one's gonna it's going to be really focused on mobile delivery and I think that's going to be really exciting and um I've been working on a project that i'm really excited we should you want one we just feel time and show you guys show well I want to talk about what you're working on too well I'll talk about it after we talked about your family and it's I'm not gonna really tell them what I'm working on I got I got guys a little further along than because I got secrets he has secrets I have been working on developing a new long-form show for cnet that I hope to eventually transition to broadcast with CBS but we really want to start it as a web show because I'm super excited about some of the innovative like stuff that we can do in terms of delivery and in terms of interaction with the show it's going to be called always on and we actually have a trailer let me roll it here we go yeah hi I'm Hollywood and welcome to always on the show where we test torture and occasionally destroy new tech so that it can stop driving you crazy and start making your life better every week we will stress test the hottest new gadgets in our custom lab and give you creative tips on how to master the tech in your life plus the latest news in-depth stories and interviews with a unique interactive format that makes every viewer part of the show Google's deal to buy motorola mobility is almost done anonymous has hacked the vatican again the new ipad comes out this week in surprise we're expecting lines at the store this is the pantech element from 80 they say it's waterproof we're going to find out look at but um don't use your tablet in the bathroom that's gross on today's road test we're gonna find out if the Kindle Fire can take the heat in the kitchen it's called chef's kitchen times and it lets you run multiple timers and if you're watching your weight you might want to track calories it's really bad a freezer bag oh yeah it still works they say its military spec so today's road test is actually a stairwell test so works no cracks I want you to know we threw this down the stairs 10 times so I think it's safe to say it works imagine if one single blood test could test for HIV malaria tuberculosis and even some kinds of cancer all at the same time and all in about 10 minutes now I'm going to try to control this skateboard with my mind did you run a man yell stop thinking stop thinking so this is called little bits and what they are our individual circuit boards that you can attach together via magnets and make whatever you want alright our first piece of mail comes from Facebook and it's about the story we did on self-driving car after I drop my headphones in the toilet I asked you guys on Twitter which new ones I should buy always-on is the show for today's world where tech is part of everyone's life we make that tech fun accessible and we decode it to keep you ahead of the curve stay tuned hey I have a little chat room and I'm so excited to see this because I'm so right i feel like this is the show that's gonna bring together so many of the things that we've been doing it seen it and I've been doing it seen it all this time like this and this is how we get mail bag coming back you know like the little man is in there um so that yeah this is what I've been working on we're going to launch this show in June nice launch date it is coming we're going to be doing like it's it'll be a 30 minute show on the web you know we'll deliver it to you in shorter chunks on mobile I'm I want to build an app for it but we're going to we're going to be building a lab we're going to be you know freezing things and superheating them and throwing them down the stairs and and all of that reviews and interviews and just and great cool segments about like what's happening in the tech world the out there out there in the world how dare I think another thing that also that you guys it eluded to in the video that you guys may not have caught necessarily is the fact that we have this kind of new cool initiative and it will be developing but we're time out a second-screen platform yeah and this is stuff where we've developed in-house the ability for while content is being served to you on your computer while you have a tablet device and yes we just like said Oh will the tablet market really mature anymore but there are still at least in the tech audience the people that we serve people that have their tablets and love them and the ability to interact to get additional content while this video and the things that you're watching is plain real time so we're super we're super excited about that I mean that's just one of those nuggets it's not like we're sitting here twiddling our thumbs I know I don't have anything to show you right now but trust me you have you have you heard some of the trick stuff that comes out of the shed trust me he is a working on him yeah and we're we're fired up it's basically like this is the teaser and then he's teasing YouTube because all what were what we're really doing is that we're kicking it up a notch yeah at Cena in terms of production right like nobody I feel like nobody does tech video better than seen annuls that's a fact that's a fact that's a fact we really are yeah we are investing mean the great thing about this is that although it feels like we're taking something away what we're really doing is investing in original content at Cena like you that that is a huge part of what's going on in the media world right now you see huffpo you know a hundred million dollars for original content Yahoo Google everybody original well we're no we're no different were no exception we're going to be making incredible video and I'm I'm just so I've been working on the show for a year you guys like I'm so excited about this show and what we're going to get to do and about the the new shows that are going to be happening at Cena it's going to be I know that this parts really hard for you and me but it's a big it's a big exciting shift I mean there's there are always going to be skeptics we know that many of you are like whatever we're just going to go to twit and that's fine like this or that they serve a purpose they serve our purpose and we serve a different purpose and we're going to we're gonna you know bet big on our strengths and that's what we want to do in it we the thing is that mall and I and Stephen we're still going to be here on the big events yes we all have fun because I know I'm not I know reading what you guys say yeah someone's like we'll miss the dynamic between Molly and Brian and Stephan just the fun that we have and how we talk about tech we're still gonna be able to do that and it's not just only going to be Apple events right you know when Microsoft is going to end up rolling out with windows 8 big right you have Amazon that'll probably have some crazy tricks up their sleeve some of these major press conferences will be there so just you know just understand that like everything i'm sure many of you that have listened have may not have had a job for six years straight and have done something else we're still here at the same place we're just doing something else at the place that we still love ya so that's that's the best way that I can put in I hope that you guys continue to support us we appreciate so much of what you guys have done I mean it's amazing so and we hope we so hope that you will watch our new show I mean because we're it cuz like we just feel like we need to reiterate this again we're not leaving right like we're giving you more exactly giving you more and we're excited so and and for the person who said it seems like it's less radio more TV i think that's that's a really appropriate description that is totally what's going on cuz like we don't want to just sit in this room with it but these cans on we want to get out there and ride mind-controlled skateboards wouldn't you and the community the do we know the live audience that the community and even just kind of the fraternity and or sorority whatever you pick right that is here live there's nothing that replicates that and we hope potentially in the future we can still bring some of that those community elements into some of our future shows but um you know that I think that more than anything that's probably the part that you know when I thought about going away that's what we'll miss you know what we and you guys will miss the most is being able to real-time interact and goof around with everyone and like that's that's awesome but we can take slices of that and bring them into other stuff and I want you to know that is actually going to be a part of always on specifically so every week when that show airs it's not going to be a live show but when we brought when we post it at the actual posting time I plan to host a live chat so that we can all watch it together and comment and have this live interaction because i love this audience so much and I love this chat room and I just I don't want that ago to go away so kind of just like right now for about a half hour a week I hope that you will join me in a live chat so we can watch always on together and talk about it and and and just like Jaclyn our chat room I mean and who knows that there might be times where we might feel like we want to itch itch to the little scratch you know scratch that scab or scratch you know scratch that itch scratch that it scratch that itch and we'll just do like a random mystery show like that's kind of fun like yourself like a little mystery up so that you know whatever it's gonna pop out of nowhere and we just want to help you know we don't we're not leaving no oh you're the best she's like tweet it and we will come I love it there will be yeah so let's oh I mean that's just like I'm just throwing that out we've learned so much from from buzz out loud right like I've learned that I want that I want this audience to be part of every show like oh if you're building a fire-breathing robot in your backyard I'm gonna come to your house we're gonna do video and we're gonna have a chat room when we first watch the show and we're you know it's like they're I will never ever do anything in my career again I think that doesn't involve the community in the same way that buzz out loud is involved this community because that's I get like about a year into buzz out loud it was like oh I know it's special about this show yeah yeah it's like it see the secret sauce it is a secret test so I appreciate that the secret sauce accepted my secret sauce yeah i gotta say my favorite part that's true my favorite part disgusting I gotta say my favorite part of the show every day was the feedback loop like once we got through all the news and all that is check out to the feedback no I can sit back and have fun now now speaking of which next week we want we want to give you the chance to let it all out like next seriously let it out let it out we'll be here i'm going to read we will read whatever you whatever you write when evers with theirs it's only fair hey we rip on apple with praise apple we you guys have praised us it's time for you to praise us or also vent your frustration on we might have to use the beat button but if you want to write bleeps right bleeps and I yeah it's like I got it like that just be yourself be who you are and I think it's only fair to tell you that i actually won't be cuz i have to go to second so pretty much Steven and I will be your official lunch bags let it out unless you do the show next friday maybe we could talk about that we could talk about that cuz i could be here for a friday show it would be it would be trouble if we brought some sort of like pinata and for every negative email or just sad you know yet we beat the pinata and see voodoo doll if we get enough we'll see enough if we get enough of those and we hit the pinata nuff then candy will come out which means great things for the future and you will come out all right so please I was like shut up with the spin Tom bring it on shut up with a spin bring it on I love you guys we'd love you guys and we are with that we're gonna take a little bit of a break possibly cry a little bit more and then we will be right back with some actual news we got so we got news all right news news anyone we're back we now return to our regularly scheduled buzz out loud show already in progress hey hi hey guys do you want to talk about some news or something let's talk news okay uh those of you in the chat room who joined us like 10 minutes into the show just as man ask jeannie what happened justjust assets just ask the chatroom just what happened all right yeah all right but let's do some tech news because frankly that's what we do and it's good to take our mind off of things um I lost my ever lovin mind when I saw the story yesterday I could not believe that this was really associated press reporting this week that job seekers which is particularly awful particularly awful in this particular economy uh job seekers are evidently being asked on a semi-regular basis when they apply to turn over their Facebook user names and passwords so that employers can check out their private profiles and just see what's in there I don't we have a lot of listeners here and I'm just even curious if in general even if a few of our listeners have had to come across this but it's blatantly asking to dig deep inside your personal information things that you like people you're associated with and then making decisions about you being hired from that it's like it is the most insane violation of privacy i think i've ever heard like turn over your pan apparently it is most prevalent with public and government agencies so like the city of Bozeman Montana apparently for a couple years has had a policy of asking applicants for passwords for their email accounts and all their social network account so they can like check out their private crap yeah that's that's awesome I can't even really say this more clearly that is an insane violation of privacy and it ought to be illegal if those facebook profiles are private and employers can't see them then what do they need to be worried about in terms of something being on there it's not your business it's private profile so up until this point Facebook pretty much you know they were laying low it broke a couple days ago but facebook is now come out with a public statement on their blog and so they made their own position pretty clear they say just going kind of paraphrase some of this as a user you shouldn't be forced to share your private information and communications just to get a job unless you work a facebook now they didn't say that as the friend of a user you shouldn't have to worry that your private info or communications will be revealed you know we've made that a violation of facebook statement of rights and responsibilities to share or solicit a facebook password employers listen it's insane I know I really do understand that uh companies are trying to figure out how to handle social networking in this digital age we know that all too well but that's just insane and you talked about Facebook right just being like no thank you yeah yeah faces like i'll be doing that don't don't do that i mean really all right speaking of facebook they just purchased 750 new patents from IBM as an attempt to kind of build up a war chest of patents because they know that every bit like when you win the lottery every is coming out of the woodwork now to sue them for various patent infringement claims yeah Yahoo is actually suing Facebook claiming that the social network is has infringed on 10 of its patents so some of these are related to advertising privacy controls social networking which is what Facebook is based on so Facebook as a defense and we've seen this with hardware companies have acquired some pads from IBM to kind of hopefully alleviate or help them use it as a defensive shield against yahoo yahoos just kind of mad that Facebook is doing a lot of things they wish they could do and so they're trying to get money for it and that also happens in the hardware space yeah it's interesting there definitely I mean it's useful for them to have these patents some people are like do they really need to even defend themselves against Yahoo because that seems so like such a patently absurd case hey we but uh but you know I mean you can understand why they feel like they're in the they're in a position that they need to because I'm sure this is hardly the last patent infringement lawsuit that will be headed their way possibly bad news and then good news maybe for the windows phone plan babyish have you guys heard of this game called angry birds space never played it ya ever played ok is it like a new one I don't even try to figure this out because uh here you know what I just download the game because I'm like what is this all about and we all were talking about we're like kind of tired of Angry Birds my like well let's just buy it and see what happened so yeah it's an angry birds look it's in space except it's like in this little gravitational pull little area yeah it's angry birds but anyways the story it made a cool space sounding name yeah well do you guys hear about how they did that demo at Space Needle in Seattle how they like flung an angry bird off a space needle to kind of promote the launch of this game oh my god even though that has nothing to actually do with space but its Space Needle shouldn't they have flung an angry birds on like a shuttle in space off of a shuttle but its Space Needle what are we using the Hubble still I don't think so I would get off the Hubble I wish I'd been in the meeting where they discussed that like well it's kind of weird because space is not actually space I should have just drive but it's a space needle it's the closest thing we've got people will get it it's high off the ground it looks tall it's really not that tall in life in person anyway it was not going to appear on Windows Phone and Windows platform at all they were just like we would have had to totally rewrite it that's like a lot of work for windows phone yeah I mean it didn't it did not launch a windows phone at all and this this whole chicken and egg right you need users and you'd have to drive users or you need apps you know users and apps kind of drive each other but if you're not going to get angry birds and you're not going to get users that doesn't look very good analyst said it was a quote worrying development for windows phone because it suggested that rovio did not have much confidence in its future it being Windows Phone well Rovio CEO did say that they're working on a version for windows phone with a yet-to-be-named release date but the the bigger thing is just the sign that it's whether they had to rewrite it or not it clearly wasn't a priority because if you launch on Android and you launch on iOS the two biggest platforms that pretty much tells us that's where you want to go and that's where the momentum is I mean we've we like in this room we've all said we like the interface of Windows Phone 7 it just has a lot of catching up to do mm-hmm but this is just another one of those things if the largest most popular game isn't going to be on that platform and let's say it comes out six months later that's a long time right it's really long time yeah I mean it's out and that comment to from the CEO kind of just makes it sound like what happened is that Nokia prop more likely Microsoft called and lost their ever-lovin mind right and then Ravi I was like oh okay we're totally working on that were delivered yeah you know we got the gummies and we got gummies in the supermarket i'm sure those took a long time to develop yeah you see those little gummy is there everywhere I mean like gummy Angry Birds that's the supermarket's at 7-elevens really front counter prime real estate point-of-sale right on the front whoa angry birds is everywhere I had no idea that gummy I only shop in the hippie stores I guess chatroom you you guys have seen the gummies right that's assault they've had to assume the girl that's easier than rewriting the entire code base that's what I'm saying yeah clearly hiring a factory over in Asia that hurts about Harry gummies I bet I god I can only imagine the phone calls that were coming into rovio headquarters for me I bet Microsoft which is like how what's it gonna take what's a good hundred million dollars what are we talking it was a Microsoft earlier when they released at windows phone seven saying how they were gonna pay developers to get them on their platform blah blah blah yeah I'm sure that they were hey they're writing checks or you know lobbing bombs um now or birds angry but nicely done we arguably though angry birds is totally over because the only game that anyone has cared about for the past six weeks of its existence was a draw something booya from OMG pop and in fact apparently they loved it so much that oh my god Zynga rather than in pursuing a new strategy for Zynga actually rather than just copy the game outright they probably were actually really impressed that draw something is just pictionary they were like oh nice we wish we thought of that one but instead they apparently paid a hundred and eighty million dollars plus another 30 million in employee retention payments just go ahead and buy it games been out for six weeks made 220 million dollars on pictionary why did I not think of that the well it's it's the whole formula right make a classic game and add a social networking element and just see if it takes off right and draw something is hot I mean if you have not if you you know what a lot of times people get all caught up and they say I'm not gonna jump on this bandwagon I'm not gonna jump on Angry Birds i'm not gonna jump on cut the rope you need a jump on draw something I'm doing it with my 5 i'm like playing it with my five-year-old niece yeah and it's it's it's amazing but I I was I was like wow zynga dropping the cash again this app has only been out for pretty much has gained its popularity in six weeks alright so they instantly dropped 200 million dollars on it I think they've been getting something like um one report said 1 billion ad impressions per week from draw something right the app is free with the ads you pay 99 cents if it's not free it had 25 million downloads of the app and within the first few weeks or so and doctoring dr. Kyle the chat room just pointed me to their Facebook page where apparently they post the best pictures of the day oh yeah they're amazing oh my god you are using this for are also welcome I can't go back and see my pits at facebook.com slash play draw something how come I can't go back and see my old drawings but they can grab them and post them on their facebook cuz they're stored locally on their server good to know I'm mad about that cuz sometimes i think my drawings were like so funny they're not good but they're funny like the one I drew for Sweden I thought was genius what'd you do I drew this like blond lady with really big blue eyes and then I drew a plate full of meatballs and then I drew a little IKEA store that's cool sweet name I like to draw I was cracking myself up see look at that Lenny Kravitz I mean that is unbelievable and the funny thing about this is you if you play this game right the hook is that you earn coins or points based on the difficulty of the drawing you make and you let someone guess it the only reward in this game is you can get more colors to paint with okay the other care of other than seen the replay of what your friends draw and laughing every time they erase that line because they can't get the correct thickness of the line it's to get more colors and to draw your network on so no I'm plus amazing I am in a game with Jeff Sparkman who works here uh you I'm sure you guys have heard us talk about it before but dude that guy he's a good drawer his Darth Vader blew my mind here's the thing you can take two perspectives on draw something you can draw the stick figures or you can spend half an hour of your time on a single drawing beautiful pads only worth one damn coin you go three coins I expect some are you go one coin give me a stick figure the people drawings are the hardest because it has all that okay weird Wow anyway you can we do why like once you start talking about this you could understand why people get all my guys so far we're like when you see your friend guess the word and they keep on guessing wrong and they shift the tiles and you're like you're an idiot I know you're an idiot ah all i do i googled once one time i did google what i did i did it new new phenomena also while you guys are listening people are buying styluses specifically for draw something i kid you not oh my starting to hear that from my peers I'm starting to see that cuz on the phone it's a lot harder to draw on an iPad it's amazing right you have more space but on the phone it can be a little tricky you know what I'm talking about you know what I'm talking about i bet i don't want to play with Sharon because I bet that Sharon has hurt one of her custom styluses that she built with like a toothpick in it like the Chi macgyvered oh the foil foil foil she did this amazingly make your own stylist one um interesting actually once I started playing on the ipad 2 is a whole different whole different universe and trust me you don't need the ipad 3 4 draw something in fact you don't need the ipad 3 dear everyone you don't need that baby oh my gosh all right let's uh let's keep it rolling here google wallet no surprise not turning into the massive market changing juggernaut that Google may have hoped and now there are reports that the first stage hasn't been going very well and Google might be wooing AT&T and Verizon to join sprint and make some partnerships to try to get the wallet thing off the ground this prediction has already come to fruition from you and I I know we both said the exact same thing like mobile payments will not take off because of the fragmentation there's the distribution of it the concept of course we're gonna see this take off but it's still going to be a few years away the idea awesome but look google launched with their Galaxy Nexus on verizon where the feature was already crippled on that specific phone right I mean if it's not available on your flagship phone on the country's biggest carrier I think it's a little bit of a setback wouldn't you say God's sake you also have the competition with Isis who's a it's a conglomerate between carriers and some of the phone providers and pretty much a platform that vendors can choose to jump on or off of google wallet was completely on an island separate from Isis Isis is the one that's really looking to kind of be that platform that pushes forward and if you want to make the argument of VHS versus beta Google might have tried to be the VHS but they're the beta right and people will still tell you that beta was probably better technology what doesn't really matter it was when you're facing illegal collusion between the various I mean really anyway so they may be pursuing partnerships with the carrier's then I guess we'll we will continue to wait for something that Japan's had for like 10 years well it's out assault by Southwest I a guy came up to our booth or a little our setup stage where we're doing interviews yeah any happen to be from Isis oh we and we started talking and picking his brain and he would not say when they're actually gonna officially roll out because Isis is still working on these agreements behind the scenes before they launch it and roll it out they were showing kind of proof of concepts at South by Southwest like because in America people like wait America you can still touch a phone and it pays would America sorry about that I channeled my inner Midwest am I gonna get stoned right now yes okay I'm gonna stop moving on in case you have not read it you guys should go start following Maggie Reardon's ask Maggie column it's awesome she is like the the mobile phone and mobile policy reporter for cnet news calm and she has this great QA about mobile phone issues and today's is basically just like yeah um did you know that brezin is also throttling your unlimited data plan just a little FYI laughs why I think a lot of people did not realize that and and we're like 18 d throttles nuts rude people throttles nuts rude and she just wants everyone to know in the QA just just in case you weren't aware verizon also bez that so that's our like PSA from us to you and check out her column it's one yes it's not just AT&T Verizon system like will throttle you down depending on the load on their overall network and then bring you back up it's not as blaine whereas it sounds like with AT&T they just pretty much put the hammer on you yeah no matter what their network overall is doing whereas verizon at least it will fluctuate based on the overall network congestion so totally just a little different way of doing the same thing they also do and then some insane thing happen with apple today they're screwed i think apples over right apple's totally over that's after they heard after they heard us talk about the ipad 3 the market responded with a flash crash that scared the bejeebies out of investor so somewhere in earlier in the day in the afternoon apple's stock dropped about ten percent out of nowhere it fell as low as 542 dollars he was hovering around whatever 596 hundred it was an erroneous trade known as a flash crash they halted all trading at ten fifty seven a.m. eastern time and resumed trading normally at eleven but everyone was pretty much going bye bye bye but there you go totally just in case your portfolio take a dip for the worst it's 45 minutes don't panic don't panic battle mimic you're still rich i think some people's entire retirement is probably an apple stock right now so like I'm be sure that that is not yeah that's I'm not gonna say that's not a smart move right now they they're happy if it fell down to 542 and the target price is still seven hundred dollars like by oh yeah yeah bye if I could I probably would good i would i'd buy my one little share maybe two you'll still get like a what something like an eighty percent return on it i know exactly so why not buy one and that would be fine then I could get then if I bought one and it got to 700 maybe I could afford to buy any map just use it for your macbook I cannot full disclosure I can't describe apple stock nor do I ever get to and will disclosure we can't purchase any technology stopped not by any tech stock which is the source of endless frustration which is really where everyone makes their money to us and our financial advisors such as they may be like the dude at the bar by Apple what but i did my undry in a good scotch I like the hiccup that was nice yeah that was very subtle did you hear that hiccup I did all right guys this is a fun story that we just can't get away oh my god this it boggles the mind nokia filed a patent recently and it just came to light it's let's just say it let's call what it is a technology for a vibrating tattoo i love would you like a vibrating tramp stamp that should have been the headline of this not this article but the mobile company filed for a plant patent that would let it place haptic feedback technology on to a tattoo to alert customers to a new call that's outstanding it could also be a patch to just like you don't want to patch you want the tattoo I want to tattoo I don't want to tattoo that vibrates now Molly knows a thing or two about tattoos I thought that might go totally different way um i would definitely dude i would totally get a vibrating oh really yes you just know i mean okay for one thing girls are the legendary problem when it comes to answering the phone right guys are always like you never read through no no Michael I didn't hear it cuz it was it and my person a little bit and if I could get like a cool like a really cool little tattoo and then it would just like every time the phone was ringing wow that's awesome alright so here I also like I want all the implants I wanted yeah yeah yeah like I'm on board with the singularity I'm i want the google goggles or you want implants you don't want to work the last implants okay see that's what i'm saying so here's the technology nokia will use magnetic waves to create the effect it could be extended to an invisible tattoo what's what's the fun in an visible tattoo there is no point you're either talent you're either tell me you freeky deeky are you really about your art on your body or you don't get an invisible tattoo yeah i mean i can see why an invisible tattoo would be useful for people who don't want to have a tattoo like that makes perfect sense in some ways cuz then you still get all the benefit but but i like the idea of having some cool i don't know like it incoming can I tell you a fun little story that why this is great why this story made me laugh tattoo can I tell you a fun little story please this is for the bol audience only if you're under 13 close your ears okay so am I designed this tattoo for a significant in the past and she got it placed right down here nah right down here like here all right I designed it I thought what if it vibrated ah now moral the story Jack Toby was like I'm 14 ma moral the story that reached a moral destroyed that trick cheated on me I should have known because she got that little tattoo in that special place and but but it could have vibrated if it was if I met her like 20 years later it's gonna change the industry the industry when you can have when implants at only just enhance the experience and I'm not having about the normal implants I was getting these days like the whole new I'm just saying there's a little world out there that's for a different show and you sing a song from a kids show I cartoon it's so bad just that were there were there were some you know messed up things in Disney movies so let's not pretend like they're innocent too true too true but I this also this technology would allow different patterns like you could have a but you know your ringtones are different they vibrate differently like how on is that if like what is your mom's ringtone vs like your significant others to tattoos into specific new tattoo tattoos all right let's uh uh huh we're gonna we're gonna have to move on i think to the assisted save yourselves china is the new hot bed of smartphone technology they have surpassed the United States in activations of Apple and Android devices not too surprising because they have way more people a lot more people that's more like a lots more also just a couple days ago Twitter turn six you all know about this if you didn't know well maybe you should know now they turned six years old with 140 million active users now what's kind of cool is our own social guru nathan bransford he pulled up our first tweets did you see this no so I don't remember like ours like Steven I tried to find your first tweet but I really wanted to track it down but nathan bransford in the article whatever he puts some of ours I like to read your tweet if you open up the link and we can read mine looking tell me when you got yours okay here we go mollywood first tweet wondering how many morning Twitter's include drinking coffee and preparing to podcast with a baby strapped to my chest drinking coffee very first tweet oh my god I remember because I totally got on Twitter when I was home on maternity leave with Eli and I was super I just needed to be connected to the world again and then veronica was like you should tweet and i did and that's hilarious ah brian tongs first tweet getting down and dirty with playoff football that sounds like a 13 year old wrote it yeah wow they're all in here this is amazing stephen shankland well i joined twitter to give it a shot too bad the IM link is good bust reports of twitter flakiness are validated CNET's first twitter was not personal at all it was an article posted in april of 2009 you know we made our twitter account a little later than others like in 2009 netsol here I mean there were vibrating tattoos back then Wow ATT increases their bounty on fiber vandals to 250 k for reals give me something josh Josh Lowensohn scratch in my ears that's pretty much Twitter fair that's pretty cute yeah he didn't see that was that was self aware it was self aware tweeting by the ones in there yeah not surprisingly Brian Cooley finishing up a car tech podcast then heading out into rush-hour traffic I need a drink I'm demic cars drinks again self-aware very self-aware again so there you go there's Twitter's a six years of Twitter pretty outs and it's made our life so much better it actually has it's amazing I think it's cute that they have 140 million users Oh what's on their birthday not important that's interested oh that's got to be a priority that's how high are they I know I was like I think that's not that's total crap trivia fans were unhappy about the ending to the mass effect 3 game Lala don't tell me well i also don't know what the ending was but apparently they were so mad about it that they're giving it a new they're considering giving it a new ending they won't do it no no there here's the thing okay just like doing angry birds for windows phone place your bets down which one's more likely so what happened is the ending for my friends who have finished I'm still playing the game because I've been a little bit out of town it was really kind of ambiguous and this is a trilogy where people have literally spent for each game approximately 40 plus hours so you're kind of hoping for a payoff if at the very minimum you've invested 120 hours of your life and they just weren't satisfied with it bioware earlier had said that they cut out some of the details of the ending because they felt it would draw it out too long and I've got to imagine Bioware says they're working on DLC that will address some of the shortcomings because they wanted to respond to the audience who's really so passionate about this franchise which is which is what is another thing that's amazing about our current state of the Internet in the world is that look we can voice our displeasure or a favor and some of these developers will actually be like you know what you guys are right we're gonna deliver the goods and we can change the zoo we're going to change the mass effect ND so they're going to address that sometime in April they said they're going to talk about it I like it my friends were kind of bummed overall overall sentiment people were bummed people were bummed but I like the fact that they're changing it all right I think we should I think we should let Stephen because we're running low on time here we should let Stephen do his thing all right do is they do you thing and
