Gadgetory

hey everyone I'm Molly wood and welcome to the buzz report the show about the tech news that everyone is talking about this week I phones on the loose a high five and a what what for the Department of Justice and when there's no more room in tech Hell the Dead will walk the earth but let's begin with the gadje of the week the gadget of the week is the samsung galaxy s2 epic 4g touch yes it was announced this week for AT&T t-mobile and Sprint where it will be known simply as the samsung epic 4g touch anyway the samsung galaxy two epic 4g touch pad pad has a 4g support 1.2 gigahertz dual-core processor a rear-facing 8 megapixel camera that takes HD video a ten percent bigger battery and a Super AMOLED touchscreen plus the samsung galaxy two epic 4g touch 3d hurricane will run the latest version of gingerbread with samsung's custom TouchWiz interface on it and it will include a bunch of new enterprise features the ability to connect to your computer and other devices over Wi-Fi for like Wireless transferring and texting more voice command support and you can even take screenshots on the phone finally awesome the samsung galaxy two epic 4g touch hypnotized Firedancer flying squirrel honey badger has almost as many features as it has words in its name and now for the news top story of the week the US Justice Department also hates AT&T or at least it hates the idea of the 18 t t-mobile merger just like the rest of us the DOJ filed a lawsuit this week to block the proposed 39 billion-dollar merger the agency said that merger would substantially damaged wireless competition it would lead to higher prices worst service and less innovation especially in rural areas and for low-income customers and the DOJ gave a nice little present to t-mobile saying that they had been totally good for competition because their innovative and spunky and they had the first android phone and the first high-speed data network man it's almost like the DOJ has been listening in on our conversations about the merger and reading our tweets and emails and stuff and just this one time I'm totally cool with that but do not call this story over not by a long shot because don't forget if this merger doesn't go through AT&T has to pay t-mobile three billion dollars in cash plus spectrum and Airwaves deals that add up to a total break up package of about seven billion dollars so don't look for ATT to go away quietly I mean when do they ever and other top news this week apparently another iphone prototype was left in a bar this time in San Francisco no I'm not joking we have no idea if it was an iphone 5 prototype or some other iphone what version of iOS it was running or any other specs we only know that it was taken from a Mexican restaurant and bar it might have been sold on craigslist for two hundred dollars and when the police tried to find my iphone feature on it they tracked it to a house searched the place and couldn't find it and then the guy who lived there said he didn't know anything about it even when Apple employees reportedly offered him cash on the spot for the phone back no questions asked I love this story and it kind of just goes to show that Apple employees are human too I mean they get wasted and lose their phones and bars just like the rest of us does anyone have an advil or my phone I need my phone also this week the HP TouchPad tablet or zombie after HP sold thousands hundreds of thousands of touch pads in a $99 fire sale earlier this month the company announced it will manufacture just a few more touch pads and sell them for the same price except at retail stores where they can price it whatever they want and then after that though then webOS and the tablets are dead for real except that there's a software update coming for webos for all you knew touchpad owners so it'll get better and then of course there were rumors that Samsung might buy webOS and then you have the executive vice president of HP's PC group which may or may not get spun off telling the press that sure HP might totally get back into the tablet game all I know is this time I'm getting one of those 19 dollar touch pads and I really hope it doesn't eat my brain the way it apparently eight Leo Apotheker spring and finally speaking of doom let's have a look at what's clogging the tubes the Cornell creative machines lab posted this video on YouTube that they say is what happened when they hooked an artificial intelligence chat bot up to itself and then let it have a conversation with itself prepare to panic I am the report yes I'm not together they're robots I'm not a robot I'm a unicorn what is God to you not everything not everything could also be something for example not everything could be half of something which is still something and therefore not nothing very true I would like to imagine it is odd you say you are not helpful therefore you're a meaning how you say it or team that does not make sense so do you want to have a body sure or if one you should really go watch the whole video at youtube but I think the first comment are there pretty much nailed it quote so when you let robots talk to each other they instantly identify their own kind start discussing God and their wish to have physical bodies yeah let's not do this again end quote and that's the buzz report for this week everyone I'm Hollywood and thank you for watching can we go full this this this feels like it should be a Ron Burgundy moment I can we go full screen on some hayseed so I can just do a pickup
