hey everyone I'm Molly would welcome to the buzz report the show about the tech news that everyone is talking about this week it's Nokia's Hail Mary phone Steve Jobs is secrets at last and political suicide on YouTube but first it's the gadje of the week the gadje of the week is the Nest Learning Thermostat yep thermostat they're actually calling it the ipod of thermostats partly because nest labs was founded by tony fadell who led the design team that created the ipod so he has some nerd cred anyway the thermostat it's programmable obviously it's also networkable over a Wi-Fi and you can control it remotely with a mobile app you can Network several thermostats together and control them all at once and it has a motion sensor built in so it can see when people are in the room and then it supposedly learns your habits and auto adjusts to suit your heating and cooling needs ness says the thermostat could not twenty to thirty percent off the average utility bill which is good since it costs two hundred and fifty dollars although best part of all look how easy it is to install that is amazing let's watch that again in slo-mo uh-huh have your electrician on speed dial for that one other than that it's actually pretty awesome for a thermostat now the other big gadget news of the week is nokia showing off its first born child with microsoft the lumia 800 is Nokia's bet the farm smartphone and Microsoft and Nokia both are calling it the first real Windows Phone it's kind of a tricked up n9 it has gorgeous hardware although the specs are just okay single core processor 16 gigs of onboard memory the camera will be pretty amazing though 8 megapixels with a Carl Zeiss tesar lens and on phone editing features plus HD video capture and since Nokia never ever learns the phone will debut in Europe for about four hundred and twenty euros with no word whatsoever on a US release and that my friends is why the thermostat is the gadget of the week in other news this week the official steve jobs biography came out monday and it was full of fascinating stories not all of them flattering on the one hand walter isaacson's biography portrays a cool counterculture genius who left an incredible string of achievements and inventions behind him on the other hand abusive manager bad temper family issues calculating more than willing to screw his partners out of money brittle personality stuff like that but the worst thing that he did by far even worse than abandoning his daughter or worse even than the newton was that he hurt the feelings of that cute cute jonathan ives the vice president of design at apple in the book I've says it really upset him that Steve Jobs would often take credit for his fabulous designs and then get all the credit for being the only innovator at Apple Johnny don't worry sweetie we always knew you're the smart one and we here at buzz totally appreciate you moving on Netflix the company's quarterly report said that after it hiked prices sixty percent way more customers actually cancelled their subscriptions than netflix expected like 800 thousand of them Netflix is stock fell thirty-seven percent on the news and limped along down there all week see and now i'm not in the stock advice business and I'm not allowed to buy netflix stock but netflix also reported record revenues they're expanding into the UK they're not splitting up their business after all maybe calm down investors and ask for the rest of you buy low i'm just saying although that streaming catalog does still suck speaking of panicky investors even amazon was down this week after the company reported a dip in profits because it's been a lot of money making kindle fires and the rest of the new kindle lineup amazon also said though that it's rushing to produce way more kindle fires than expected because everyone apparently wants one and then when everyone has a kindle fire amazon may take a loss on the hardware but they'll sell bajillion zuv $15 ebooks plus movies and TV shows and magazines all with the little one click genius then they will be printing their own Kindle branded dollars but what do I know Wall Street's done a great job with America so far and now it's time for what's clogging the tubes this week it's the Herman Cain crazy train the internet went crazy for his most recent campaign video which features his campaign manager aka the smoking man from x-files together we can do this we can take this country back so that was baffling but then we all realize that Cain's campaign has been doing this for months go to his YouTube page check out the yellow flowers video it's like a four minute video with some guy claiming to be a famous actor and talking about how herman cain is great except the unknown actor dude is a total a-hole who can't drink a margarita without a straw and is rude to everyone around him and isn't good at his job at all so like how is that hoping herman cain oh I get it it's viral he's trolling America smart maybe you know I'll bit say you're as yellow as those clouds right now why has it always got to be about color what do you got liberal car care and that's the buzz report for
