hi I'm Hollywood and welcome to the buzz report the show about the tech news that everyone is talking about this week the mystery missile that wasn't big bonuses at Google and accidental international incidents but first it's the gadget of the week the gadget of the week is the Samsung continuum it's the latest samsung galaxy s phone and it does a neat little trick it has two displays one is a nice big 4.3 inch Super AMOLED display and the other is a little 1.8 inch ticker at the bottom which can show you a customized stream of real time information like news sports weather Twitter and Facebook updates plus it can be a mobile hotspot for up to five devices there's a 5-megapixel camera one gigahertz processor on the other hand it will be preloaded with Bing and bings maps and verizon's crap we're out the wazoo when it hits stores November eighteenth so buyer beware and now for the news google is reportedly giving every single employee a one-thousand-dollar bonus and a 10-percent race now this follows earlier reports that Google was handing out huge cash counter offers to keep employees from leaving for facebook so either Google is a really really super awesome place to work or it's an increasingly terrible place to work and they're trying to beg people to stay with cold hard cash instead of actual efforts to boost morale I'm not really sure which one's true but I went ahead and submitted my resume just in case investigative journalism microsoft launched windows phone 7 this week with the not really like a bang more like a quiet hum early reports said first-day sales were probably around 40,000 units although that may have been the result of supply shortages in some places either way Microsoft is planning on playing a long game with Windows Phone 7 hey oh may be part of their strategy is to let Verizon ruin perfectly good android phones with Bing and tons of other crap where and then drive them into the arms of windows phone 7 instead devious oh alright cheap shot at Bing let's give Google a turn apparently an error in Google Maps cause Nicaraguan troops to accidentally invade Costa Rica I could tell you what happened but in this case I think I prefer dramatic reenactments ah bienvenidas are costa rica costa rica what are you talking about you need to clear out doesn't make a wrong go man no that's Nicaragua this is Costa Rica I know this is Nicaragua look can't you see I got eco-tourists behind me that's Costa Rica can't you see my google map it says this is Nicaragua you get out of here look at the sign says no no you get out I go you go you go I'm not going come on yeah oops also a potential oops this supposed missile launch off the coast of California this week a CBS news helicopter captured images that look a lot like a vertical contrail potentially from a missile launch now some experts said it could be from a plane a former NATO ambassador said it could be in underwater ICBM shot off as a show of force to Asia while Obama's in Indonesia the Pentagon said it couldn't figure out what was going on at all and the Federal Aviation Administration didn't have any answers either the Defense Department then went on to suggest that maybe it was just an optical illusion really this is the competence level of the United States government no one can tell you what that thing in the sky was so they start suggesting that maybe it was never there at all no no no my guess it's totally the Nicaraguans damn you google maps okay let's pacify the masses with a little clogging the tubes shall we internet memes collide with the kitty that says um nome no check it out see missile what missile and that's the buzz report for this week everyone I'm Hollywood and thank you for watching what the hell are you doing here man this is Nicaraguan territory I'm sorry this is costa rican Terry this is Nicaragua what are you trying to say this is Costa Rica that's no no no no no no uh-uh check it out google maps right here boom boom nicaragua let's try that be
