hi i'm molly wood and welcome to the buzz report the show about the tech news that everyone is talking about this week the iphone 4 backlash nobody wants office 2010 and this buzz report is now diamonds but first it's the gadget of the week the gadget of the week is the samsung colon parentheses or is where apparently supposed to call it the smiley which i guess is better than calling it the samsung colon parentheses I suggest Samsung avoiding using the word colon when naming a product that is not medically necessary but anyway the smiley is a cute little messaging phone with a dedicated smiley face button so I guess it's really friendly it actually seems like a perfectly fine phone but seriously we really don't need emoticon names for phones if they come out with a samsung less than three somebody's getting punched although i would consider the samsung omgwtfbbq that would be ironic and now for the news as you may have heard this week lots of people are mad about the whole iphone 4 antenna not working depending on how you hold it thing and some of them including me have called for Apple to recall the device even Consumer Reports is saying yeah it's awesome but if we want to make calls we're just going to get a iphone 3gs even apple's stock price has started to suffer from the news personally although i think apple should bite the bullet i suspect the closest we're going to see to a recall is steve job saying i don't recall any antenna problem Bernstein Research Analyst Tony saganaki claims that a recall could cost Apple 1.5 billion dollars up like enough for several MacBook Airs not only that but a recall would cost Apple some credibility admittedly that credibility is already waning since Apple is apparently sticking with the whole whole different strategy which is like the high-tech version of jiggle the handle we'll see how that works out for them Oh hold your horses everyone Apple has scheduled a press conference for Friday July sixteenth at ten a.m. pacific tune in to cnet.com for ongoing coverage and possibly just forget everything I just said speaking of phone news the droid x land verizon stores this week and verizon was promising that unlike the incredible their will in fact be plenty of droid x supply which would make it the first serious iphone alternative that you can actually buy in other news a new NPD report says sales of microsoft office 2010 are lackluster yes that is because google docs might not be awesome but it's free and it doesn't include any Bob's or paper clips or ribbons or any other office baggage or maybe it's because most of us don't need to update from the version of office we already have it's not like the new version offers anything super mega cool like word with telepathy or unicorns or free and in other news remember last week's clogging the tubes with pulpo paul the psychic octopus well now there's an app for that you touch labs new ask the octopus app lets you put in a 2 choice question and get an answer from paul see now but what's funny is that i bet an octopus could actually under the right circumstances literally jump a shark and speaking of clogging the tubes let's have a look shall we it should come as a surprise to no one that this week's clogging the tubes is the latest brilliant Old Spice viral marketing campaign personalized videos from Isaiah Mustafa basically he's responding to questions and requests on Twitter Facebook and YouTube and well have a look Demi Moore tweets old spice guy I want a special video response wow thanks Demi Moore and I want to give you a special video response pingchat tweeted you started something big yes I did pingchat yes I did instead of opening the state of the union address with my fellow Americans try opening with hello ladies and end with presidential app point man those old spice people are marketing geniuses and actually if Isaiah makes a personalized video for me we won't send Old Spice a bill for all the free advertising we just of them by the way those videos are so good that they actually took our attention away from the double rainbow man and the double down KFC parody of the rainbow man so please go watch those if you haven't already kind of also clogging the tubes and that's the buzz report for this week everyone I'm mollywood and thank you for watching oh my god it's full on double rainbow all the way across the sky Oh delicious all the way oh my god
