hi i'm molly wood and welcome to the buzz report the show about the tech news that everyone is talking about this week it's FaceTime election day and finding out who pirated The Hurt Locker but first it's the gadget of the week the gadget of the week is the iphone 4 of course everything gizmodo said was true but we did learn a little more at Steve Jobs WWDC keynote a new 5 megapixel camera with a flash the front-facing camera the ability to take high def video and even edit it with the iMovie app just on the phone there improved battery life thinner more square design crazy antenna bands they go all the way around and will hopefully improve reception super high res display and then the big keynote one more thing was video calling with an app called FaceTime hey Johnny how you doing I'm good okay thank you which yeah I mean it's kind of neat it's only iphone 4 iphone 4 over Wi-Fi right now so not like a world-changing revolution actually the biggest problem for me really is that even the normally hot-looking Jonathan Ive look like a big nose big chin stretched out weirdo and it didn't do Steve Jobs any favors either so I'm just saying no thank you but don't worry Apple totally anticipated that kind of cynical thinking from narrow-minded journalist types and that's why they prepared this video to convince you of just how great the video calling is when you smiling well you smilin smiles with you whoo huh well played Apple well played and now for the news it was election day in California this weekend tech took over the state's political scene former ebay CEO meg whitman won the Republican nomination for governor and I sincerely hope she'll use buy it now as her campaign slogan and ex HP CEO Carly Fiorina got the Republican nod for US Senate slogan only term limits can force me out this time haha not surprisingly Facebook's former privacy chief chris kelly did not get the democratic nod for State Attorney General his slogan right now damn you Zuckerberg damn you now sure the iphone 4 was the phone everyone was talking about this week but the HTC EVO had kind of an exciting few days to it debuted on Monday and is now apparently completely sold out so if you were waiting to get one until after seeing if the iphone 4 was unveiled at WWDC well it sucks to be you now granted it turns out sprint did totally exaggerated the number of Evo's they sold in those first days analysts now think it's around 150,000 and not likely to go up since it's sold out but hey still any competition is good competition moving on the producers of The Hurt Locker are looking to sue anyone who illegally downloaded that movie and this week they filed a legal motion to get ISPs to identify potential pirates based on a list of IP addresses and then that list became public and it's all bound to lead to some false accusations and of course we know that IP addresses are notoriously unreliable as a way to pinpoint pirates because people can spoof IP addresses they could sniff your Wi-Fi they could sneak into your house and download stuff when you're not there it's just not a good situation although I will admit there is something weird about the fact that this universally well reviewed movie only grows like 40 million dollars while sex in the city to which I think even Sarah Jessica Parker a bad review has made more than a hundred million dollars I mean that kind of makes me want to see somebody just like anybody and finally let's have a look at what's clogging the tubes this week it's the world cup the international football / soccer tournament starts Friday and it is on the internet live streaming of almost every game at ESPN 3.com mobile phone streaming Yahoo's got David Beckham pimpin soccer all over its pages and IT managers say company networks might be disrupted because of all the people expected to stream the game during work hours and who can blame us I mean the action the gameplay the excitement of the global stage Vanity Fair helpfully reminds us what's important here and Annie Leibovitz has a good gig why don't we make videos like that it's seen it sexy beasts of the tech world ok I know football and that's the bus report for this week everyone I'm Hollywood and thank you for watching you
