hi i'm molly wood and welcome to the buzz report the show about the tech news that everyone is talking about this week how to call someone a copycat in a legal filing Google stocking goes to the next level and stock advice of the buzzkill variety but first it's the gadget of the week the gadget of the week is the rumored new google nexus 4g boy genius report has the details on the next nexus which will reportedly take the smartphone arms race and turn it into global thermonuclear war but in a good way the nexus 4G will reportedly have dual 1.2 or 1.5 gigahertz course but with an ultra low-power snapdragon processor so it won't chew through battery life like a honey badger one gig of ram an LTE radio 1080p HD video a front-facing camera and a rear facing camera with a really good sensor so that finally an android phone can have a camera as good as the iphone 4 oh and also super thin plus it'll be the reference phone for unaltered Ice Cream Sandwich the next version of android yeah right even speculation that it might be an AT&T phone couldn't pour cold water on this smartphone buzz hot mess and now for the news apparently when Google is mapping Wi-Fi access points all over the world it's mapping you to cnet news com reported that when Google and skyhook wireless are collecting public Wi-Fi access points they can tie those public location databases to specific Hardware IDs and street addresses so if they've sniffed out your laptop or your mobile phone as a Wi-Fi access point then anyone with that gadgets unique MAC address could potentially track you to your house or anywhere else you go and some researchers think that maybe google has picked up addresses even if you're not using your phone or laptop as an access point just like if it's on the Wi-Fi they know where you are so that's fun Google actually won't say whether it's doing that they did say they're definitely doing the other thing though now yeah I know it's easy to get all worried and want to freak out about privacy and what dis latian to force companies to tell us what they're doing with our data or maybe just stop hoovering up every freakin move we make in our lives but you know I find it's just a lot more relaxing to just assume that Google is with me everywhere I go like an angel on my shoulder or an ingrown toenail or a high-tech implant that watches my every move crap i don't have an implant do i I probably do in the great Apple Samsung pissing contest of 2011 Apple is saying that mean old samsung is harassing them by asking for samples of its next-generation iphone and ipad products neither of which has been announced Apple as you will recall requested access to Samsung's future products to make sure they weren't copying Apple so then Samsung did the same thing to support its counterclaim that no apple is copying Samsung in the filing Apple actually called Samsung the copyist which is like as close as you can get in the adult world to calling someone a copycat I mean really you guys in fact I think fashion police probably has the best name for what's going on here bitch stole my look mary j blige vs drew barrymore and catherine malandrino the bitches were scheduled to work it out in court on Friday we'll be watching and in the bubble is growing news it's tech IPO season Pandora had its IPO this week opening at twenty dollars a share with a total market cap value of 3.2 billion dollars which is totally funny because of how their revenue is actually still negative the royalty payments for internet music streaming keep going up and Spotify is apparently about to storm us shores and kill them hey do whatever you want investors how's that LinkedIn stock working out for you and finally let's see what's clogging the tubes this week you know what I liked that website stuff white people like and also white wine calm a collection of first world problems I really relate to those in a slightly uncomfortable accurate kind of way which is also how I feel about this video which almost every single one of my boo you white friends has either sent me or posted on facebook now I'm on the inside looked in that my list organic chicken kale salad in a lemon twist some girl in yoga pants is looking at me funny I'm just trying to find a decent Pinot Noir ya know he's getting real in the Whole Foods parking my own you know the deal with the little shopping carts they got check out what I say it happens every day is how we live on the westside of LA yeah that's me see it whole foods tonight I'll be the one in the yoga pants and that's the buzz report for this week everyone I'm mollywood and thank you for watching this busters on his iPhone talking to his friends picking up some cayenne pepper for his master cleanse you're the most annoying dude I've ever seen brah could you please move your right in front of the quinoa damn i'm about to check out pay my 80 bucks for six things and get the heck out
