uproarious hilarious tech gambling show were rear out of the rumors from the week and then bet on them and what better place for our tech gambling show to be than Vegas it's like our show has finally come home this I mean this is where it was meant to be I know among the poker chips and the cards and yeah all of our grasp you can always been Vegas related we finally get here and we were like we feel so much more comfortable right everybody gets it we finally get it yeah except for that I'm not good at gambling except for on this show as you guys know longtime fans and viewers of rumor has it will know that I have won every single month of our bedding by a miracle it seems sort of maroc by a miracle and by a lot of points also by using my little fashion noggin I mean not using my noggin my Kareem just allowing me to always bet first and take the easy bet and you know sucker bets and losing big time and so today's humiliation day yeah so let us explain up front what humiliation day is on rumor has it every month we take points we bet on all of the rumors and then we take points about which ones came true and who got it wrong and who got a right and then at the end of the month whoever has the least amount of points has to embarrass themselves on the podcast which every other time has been done in a studio in San Francisco with just the two of us going out to the Internet and our chat room and now it's going to be live for everybody here at CES so because the extra mortifying we decided that since we're in Vegas you have to do it up you have to do it really big so vegas it's going to be the most humiliating of humiliation days I've ever experienced and I am just so great I can't thank you so much for losing again i just i i really don't permit fun to do is because of me that's happening so anyway so that's going to come up later in the show yeah but we have titled this episode of rumor has it the CES hangover not because we're hungover not at all not that because we have this because here okay it's behind the 80s and we've made it everybody still yeah checking it out Samsung is pulling their booth down panasonic is done yeah we already gave all the award driving away everybody's exhausted and we're here to wrap it up and debrief you guys so we're gonna keep keep ya keep the energy up we're gonna keep it going it's like the best way to get rid of a hangover is just a drink again that's what the show us so the pacifica care of the dog right now if you're SI es peor de 17 you talking about it yes so um maybe we should start with our room start with our rumors let's okay well the first rumor that we want to talk about today on rumor has it is a biggie and it doesn't come out of CES but the things that have happened at CES this year have huge implications for the rumor and that is the drum roll that was that was a drum roll because you didn't know that's how i did dremel um apple TV apple itv apple television is going to be coming out everybody knows that everybody's been hearing about it we're so excited and a little bit of the thunder of that rumor has been lost based upon some of the announcements that came out of CES 2012 right and it's crazy that we're even talking about Apple because Apple isn't even here yeah well maybe here hello that in our next show yeah as you probably read there are potentially 250 Apple employees running around the halls of CES right to start any rumors so we'll just talk about we'll talk about ok but so Apple TV the rumors about Apple TV have been that it is going to have integrated series support which would allow you to talk to your television and say change the channel I really want to watch this up turn that off change the volume right and point at it and yell at it and do all kind of crazy person but that have amped up in the past months because Walter Isaacson's biography of Steve Jobs came out and in it he revealed that Steve Jobs hated the remote control so much that he wanted to revolutionize television so that you didn't have to push up I mean of course because doing this is so hard I mean personally that we have to do that instead this was gonna like the remote control already was like an innovative device so that you didn't have to do anything you already just sit there and push a button right so that I'll let me start yelling that I think yeah that would get easier for the thunder of that rumor has been a little bit taken away by the announcements from the likes of lenovo and samsung who at CES 2012 have already now introduced TVs that are going that have the little camera built-in right and they have smart motion control and they will at see your body and hear your voice and they will react to you exactly um and then another thing that was sort of one of the rumors of apple TV people have been saying that it would have OLED that it would be an oled screen and they would because you know that they're only going to make it if it's better than everything else exactly how thinner and more beautiful yeah and we're not worth it for it's not an apple product yeah and so the organic light-emitting diodes yeah I juggle that 25 times oh is it Oh LED or OLED and I really like to say oulad so and I think so we just made it and we decided that that was how I mean we didn't we also asked a couple of people and I agreed um and climbing with a pet it would be there would be an oled TV which is also one of the reasons why some of the first Apple TV rumors were saying it was going to be tiny not only huge and expensive zactly because up until this CES that all the ola TVs that are come out have been tiny yeah so I mean now I'm sure anyone who's here on the floor went and visited the LG and the Samsung booths and saw the ridiculous and if you guys haven't seen it go into the LG into the Samsung booths and it's like looking at a piece of glass like you can't see anything it was going to be amazing because i don't even have very good eyesight and so when I look at HD sometimes even when I'm wearing my contacts for my glasses I think I don't think I can tell the difference at home i have over the air free television because i don't have cable and the HD comes in pretty clear but when I can't get the HD channels I just watch the other ones and what does it matter so but then when I went to visit the LG booth and saw that 55-inch oled screen oh my god you know I was so impressed by how thin it was that I don't even remember looking at what was on it so I can take pictures of it and then it just came out it was just like looking at a piece of paper from the side yeah I know and I wanted to promote it on cnet com with a big picture showing how thin it was and it's kind of impossible to even get a photo like that right so you just have to imagine it your mind grapes guys raise your imagination squeeze your mind grapes ease your mind grapes that and figure out reference one of our favorite I'm rumor has it so now basically what this means is that Apple has to have those things because in order for the Apple TV that's going to come out if it comes out at all is that it'll have to be better and compete with these new TVs which is actually what Apple is really good at doing and that they exactly that's apples mo is to take a product that came out that was awesome that everybody was excited about and then make it better and then you know make it a little bit sleeker a little bit different and hide it and use their amazing powers of PR and to it convince everyone that they need it and and make it not a like luxury device that you don't actually need but that's something that everyone wants because it has this cachet and it's cool examined an apple and vulva Blanc and just like picture the Apple executives like sitting on their throne of broken dreams and clean lines and like unfinished wood and they're like oh yes let LG and Samsung have all the Thunder now began in a year I just made that up and some time we're going to come out with something awesome and people are going to forget about those other guys who started it I mean it's not a bad tactic I mean this is what they did with the iPad there were texts not like there weren't tablets out there were tablets but then they introduced the ipad in there and they made it so that everyone wanted it and I think it's pretty good they're going to let LG and Samsung work the kinks out with this technology right and then bring they're going to bring it to market once it's all figured out and it'll be better and that's what Apple does and then LG and Samsung will be like guys hello like remember we did this yeah once so but one other thing of note about the apple TV rumor and then we'll move on because it's really not that CES related is that sterne agee a stern agee analyst sha whoo said last week that one of the ways that Apple is going to have to compete with all the other television manufacturers that are coming out with all of this amazing new technology the way that they could differentiate themselves and really make to apple itv as it's being dubbed more interesting is to have all the cart channels which will blow a totally change everything he's mine good morning ala carte channels since before we even knew that that was a possibility because I'm a cable cutter and I don't believe in pain mission to comcast hundreds of dollars a month it breaks the bank it's ridiculous so I have a roku and I have amazon prime and I have it's like rumor has it we were joking with their rumor has it brought to you by amazon prime and roku because emily every time you go which if you know someone HBO and their kind enough to let you log in my refuel once in a while don't tell everybody that but you can watch HBO go and it's pretty wonderful but the one failure of a person like me who watches streams on roku and everything is that I cannot watch Showtime shows and I gotta say shameless is coming back I know I don't know what to do with my life without being a little ashamed up to go to somebody's house no I'm anti-social I want to watch it in oh and I home as a Herman you'll be the first in line to buy that I'll might be I library and then it'll let me I just want to buy Showtime that's basically it everything else I hope can be free I'm sorry and maybe Comedy Central all right I'm so thatís a turrible yeah you know yeah why not we're basically Stephen Colbert we're writing Colbert of Cena just watch us um okay so we move on to the next rumor please it is yours I believe no potato is it mine yeah it's from our friends at digits oh my goodness digit times we're always sort of citing digit times that's mainly because they write about every single rumor on the internet they don't really care if it's credible or not um this one is a little bit more credible and it's given even more credibility by the fact that our chums across the pond yes our new best friend hey you're sitting right back in here right behind that very wall seen that UK our new BFFs have written about how according to digit times the first quad-core smartphone to hit the market maybe the HTC edge which has been leaked weeks ago with it specs that it might be coming in February to mobile world congress in barcelona one of the reasons why they think this is happening is because an analyst for JPMorgan Chase allegedly mentioned these phones powered by nvidia tegra Nvidia's new Tegra 3 chip which they introduced here at CES 2012 while speaking in at in a commercial times report in china what he was cited as saying was that HTC will roommate maintain its lead against rivals by two months if and only if it unveils Tegra 3 and MSM 8960 base that's the Qualcomm processor smartphones in February and ships the models in time in April I mean there's so many caveats to this thing I know it happened this time Aurora but what that basically means if though if you if you adhere to those timelines what that basically means is that the phone would have to come out in Mobile World Congress because that's in February exactly and since we didn't see it at CES 2012 it sort of makes sense that's the next big event for them to introduce this and it's the next big evolution of the smartphone right because I mean they can only get faster they can only get better they can only get smaller or bigger as we've mentioned before there are people who are not interested in having they say there's no reason to have quad-core phones because really why do we need all that power I'm just gonna be draining it is that what they said about quad you know dual core phone now it's like what is also what's he said about 4G and I have to say I was one of those people who was saying that about 4G saying you know 3g seems pretty fast wrong sort of a real really really fast and then last night I was playing with the Galaxy Nexus it's awful mg ah just a neck house of Android Atlas described it to me as basically the difference between using 3g and 4g is that it's like you're driving from San Francisco to LA at 60 miles an hour and it takes you 10 hours or six hours and you're driving from San Francisco to LA at a hundred and forty miles and right I really just get there and then there you are no wait I think he said faster than that like you get there in half an hour which is pretty much maybe like that here that's what 4g is is basically light speed but so this is what the rumor would be and so if we see HTC edge I'm a rule Congress what it will have my BFF in East cnet you pay luke westaway has said that it would have a 1.5 gigahertz cores 720p obviously it's going to be HD Ray's gonna have an 8 megapixel camera it's going to be 4.7 inches diagonal so that's pretty huge but it's smaller than the breadbox that they announced here so the galaxy note the Galaxy Notes like this big basically like having another like person in your pocket right to have the galaxy note what did I describe it as it's basically as big as a Sunday ham I don't know why I think the galaxy note is as big as a Sunday hand yeah more like I get it what did we feed your family with the galaxy knows I'm not Renee that I am wrong oh yeah cos a little stylist oh that's so adorable is it's really um and so that would be so exciting so we'll see we'll have to bet on whether or not I mean this is actually a pretty great bet because if the HTC edge doesn't come out of movie will Congress one of us is gonna get a point oh shoot and it's probably gonna be probably gonna be big yeah because that's how it's a lot of you always get the point I know okay well speaking of the fact that I always win the bedding a portion of rumor has it so far let's take a break a commercial break and hear from our sponsors and then coming back we are going to see careens humiliation video which I want you to know I she hasn't even seen it is not allowed me to see it because it's too mortifying and they want to see the shock and all on my face as we perform a friggin enjoys shocking and awful how do you feel is that what you say yeah shock and awe shocking and awful I think it's usually awesome miss yeah but it's gonna be that no it's just all yeah right got it okay come back in a second we're back from our short commercial break and now is the moment that everybody but me has been waiting for which is the humiliation day portion of the show oh man exactly again as we mentioned before we take bets on the tech rumors that we think are going to come true and at the end of the month we round up the points and whoever loses has to humiliate themselves so so far I've lost twice so I had to dress up as a banana suit and walk around the streets of San Francisco and I like I went to subway hey a nice nap tended like everything armel and nobody cared or notice San Francisco I mean I got a pair of banana sativa wearing coffee it's not out of the ordinary and then we did a scene we read a scene from Twilight we and i bothering country white shirt and I wore it on the show so it only gets better from here yeah let's uh let's play the video my god I can't wait to see it who I am I name is for you baby and I'm the

say thank God you are such a good sport doing that and seriously finally rumor has it fans you finally got to hear Kareem levy sing I've been trying to get her to sing on the show the entire time she's in an acapella group they perform you can hire them oh yeah oh yeah they do Bar Mitzvah I know the whole beer all weddings try the veal anyways no seriously how are you going to do that thank you so much absolutely next month all lose it's all fair it's all fair all right so let's move on to our next rumor now this one is kind of silly it comes out of the everybody at CES this week has been talking about Angry Birds like in every single press conference it's like Angry Birds Angry Birds Angry Birds so at the Samsung press conference they mention angry birds because part of the motion control with their new TVs is that you'll be able to play Angry Birds on the screen which is you mean like this like push yeah or pull the thing i don't know i'm not really sure how it works with your hands because i can't i'm so over with the on the tablet so anyway rumor has it I love when I say rumor has it on my good show here i'm laying the name ID show again listen so that's why this is called never has it anyway so rumor has it that samsung ordered two thousand plush angry bird stuffed animals and to help them promote angry birds on their tvs and we're going to hand them out after people left the audience so the rumor is that the boxes of angry bird plush dolls came too late and they were stuck with 10,000 plush angry birds so then and they didn't know what to do with it so they were kind of like giving it to their friends giving it to the guy at the bar layout throwing it down instead of money at the poker tables and they didn't know what to do so the subtle but that we heard on the show floor is that is that they had these left over Angry Birds that they could not give out at the press conference so I took my crack investigative team we pulled together some people who wanted some free swag and we ran around the show floor we got to the Samsung booth and we're like hey we heard you had 1.5 bazillion angry bird plush dolls where are they and they said they didn't know anything about it they claimed they had no no that is very angry bird plush doll fiasco did not happen so I don't know somebody's walking around right now with at least 60,000 angry birds like in their suitcase like my god i didn't give those things away i guess located at $95 overweight charge on my back because i saw her and they had like foam wearing one I mean they had all the angry Pakistani accent number one you guys that's what happens here so anyway so I was so annoying like we so see it I don't know if you guys were watching our site on Monday but we were covering every single live event live blogging it live streaming it live tweeting it live facebooking it Google+ again sometimes when we remember the Google+ existed and sorry snap but the time was it was like we were totally crazy busy and we're working like maniacs in our trailer and aunt the computer and we're listening to every single event and every single keynote speaker mentioned angry birds like I thought it was so cool in it and it was like a drinking game of angry yards over it's been an actual driver you would have been with by 11am and you know and then as i floated over my body existentially as I was running around this humongous central hall looking for the angry bird plushies I realized that this is the most ridiculous thing I've ever done you're like Who am I I know Angry Birds has completely jumped the shark and nobody I don't I hate it I don't even want to talk about it yeah because i just mentioned angry but I'm one of them I know well I mean I think it's kind of like once the higher execs start mentioning it because they think it's the cool little hip thing that like gets them in with the people you realize that that's one that people are gonna stop using it yeah but now we're done hope you guys had fun with Angry Birds cuz he never see it again you every year on where has everybody Oh said angry birds and now it's done nobody wants to play it anymore so anyway so that was my my little but the thing is I do want to say I'm really sorry you didn't get a stuffed animal like I is what of it all I did I mean I'm Jewish but Santa brought me some among the guests that I got was an angry bird that when you squeeze it it yells so i'm pretty set in my already heard quota for the mother I've got a couple say let me say well it's our necks on to our next rumor which is about the PlayStation 4 well my favorite thing to talk about is gaming because I'm a gamer I love games and I mean I say I'm a gamer is such a gamer but she just got the PlayStation know the xbox I just finally buddy i'm a gamer and i play lego batman oh yeah checking over who's been using the ps2 for the past 10 years I mean you guys know it's not a gentle area it's really sad so speaking to reporters at the Consumer Electronics Show this week Sony Computer Entertainment Chairman Kazuo Hirai said that his company won't be unveiling a new console at the e3 gaming expo this summer which is when everybody thought that the next PlayStation was going to be announced because I don't think everybody thought that because the room I for that yeah you thought that I'm everybody but the rumors that have been saying that it was gonna be 2014 which sort of makes it they were going to announce it or start to oh yeah maybe at this III or the next you know that it was good there were rumors the rumor mill about the plate the next yeah a generation of the PlayStation and the Xbox have started to any reported before that there's that people are saying that's Sony and Microsoft are already working on it maybe even like given gaming companies access to some of it so that they can tell them how what they want the new devices right they're going back to us like they're going to start developing the games and then make the yeah consoles based on the awesome game they want they say okay this is what the console needs which is a great way great idea I think yeah I mean that it should be designed um so historically console makers have kind of stuck to a five-year life cycle for for console and after five years of being on the Shelf then they're like okay like now it's time to release a new one and it doesn't mean that the pie mean maybe just recently the ps2 started like I mean there's a couple guy make money on the shelf at gamespot for the ps2 and I know because just until like two months ago I was still playing them oh my god Blaire like on sale for 99 minutes I would buy the new ones you're like 22 dollars I spent money on a new bestie wave left in the last year so I don't know i mean the five-year life cycle is pretty well and now we're coming up on that how we're coming up on that the ps2 is released in two thousand the ps3 was released in 2006 yeah and so now you know six years later like maybe it's time but Sony is so stubborn and sonia's like we do not have to stick to this five-year life size yeah but so every question last 10 years it's stubbornness or is it that their company is so many layers of bureaucracy on top of itself that they're like someone wants us to introduce the ps4 but this person does known exactly so then they announced it happen and then they're like oh wait maybe that oh honey you never made the power and enters five cycles I don't know if L scared and I like to start talking like robots what so he is who cares because the ps3 is still so great if you don't easy today but even if they came out with the ps4 it doesn't mean that the ps3 is gonna go out anything no I mean it's been making money every single year in San now just in 2010 it they sold 14 million consoles oh my god that in their fiscal year in their 2010 fiscal year Sony got well I money they NFS slim won that year which made it like pretty alright takes up less space on your home entertainment and then I wondering if the playstation move which is like the other connect but the kinect if that is going to extend the life cycle a little bit because it's adding a little bit more capabilities and that's what Microsoft has been doing like they're not introducing an entire new xbox but they announced to connect and then they're gonna announce improvements to connect and now they announce new ways you can use the Kinect interactive their television that's right about gay so nobody's going to know you're not going to be getting rid of your Xbox in anytime soon but well I know and then there's the PS Vita which is that handheld thing that yeah you can touch it and like that looks cool I can't wait to go to target and play without I know Jeff got more before boy on to play with it so many times in loves he does love it although he says there's a caveat and I can't remember what it is I can't either there's a problem ask Jeff help i think its proprietary proprietary audibles potentially in time ends I don't know I look it up I'll tweet it out later but yeah so the thing is I really feel in my heart of hearts that the ps4 is not coming out until 2014 because it takes a long time to develop something like this and a lot of coordination with the gaming makers and these people and it's like it's actually a huge deal and to develop like a whole new generation of graphic graphical technology and to take it to the next level to even justify it being a new gaming rig takes forever but I personally am sort of hoping selfishly that it will come out this year only because I once was on vacation and Sharon Vaknin took my place at rumor has it as the co-host and she bet that on my behalf that it was going to come out this year and even though I completely disagree with her and I don't so much with your bind gonna get that point if it comes out I mean you don't even believe that it's gonna happen just because she's been shown to you how to do changing your tune you fickle fickle I know there was one time when I said I would be a gentleman and even if it came out and I got that point I would not take it because I hadn't actually said that that I know but no way my life in front of all these nice people you're like I'm taking that point I shouldn't and I'm gonna actually as you point I drink your water I can have your computer again everything look I want every day so anyway so we'll see we'll see if ok yes or 47 yes four yes four I don't know not now i'm an xbox girl i guess so now you've totally jumped ship for i know but i don't know and i really both of them you'll probably buy the ps4 you buy everything I mean I have a wii a ps2 and then an xbox 360 sitting right next to each other like I have no more room on my on my dresser alright guys are so what we need to do now since we're at the end of our bet of our rumors those are the four rumors wanted to talk about we should now move on to the much more exciting most exciting part of our show which is where we actually bet on the enjoyment right right yes so the beti bet yeah all bets are wrong yeah bad i do it all right which ones are there oh yeah okay so many of music but we don't need it no we don't need music apple itv is going to have all this stuff that we talked about it'll have all the car channels OLED technology you can yell at it and do this to make it changes channels oh absolutely that'd definitely it'll be so beautiful and hang on your and you won't even be able to see it and it'll be wonderful and how big will it be it won't be tiny it's going to be like 55 inch you think it's gonna they're going to manage to make it if you have interested in that rumor did come out yeah alright so that's the bet will it be all of those things in a bag of chips yes what do you say I say yes do you had to their other sorry agree that's a you know you can't do it but we never said when it'll come out which I think we can't take that bet because that's when it gets all know I mean I I do believe that it'll try to come out this year but there have been a lot of discussion I mean I feel like the Apple board every time someone's going to come out this year apples like yeah don't don't talk about it and then they're like oh one more thing here's our humongous television yeah the eye is having an event in New York soon oh yeah but that's not event I've been there news fest of a lifetime I mean is not worried about that night that's not gonna be Apple TV um our next that was about the quad core HTC edge coming out at Mobile World Congress hmm hmm I say yes I'm gonna go ahead and say no ooh we've got a game late in my BF fcuk we're gonna be there luke westaway I no no tell us God also nice and helpful this week I used his expertise you know cnet we have actual offices all over the place we have a beijing office we have people in Kentucky ya seen at UK we've seen at asia

hang out in sync Young's any enemy toe and made uh what are they called s'mores okay so the next rumor I don't know how we're gonna bet on this about the plushies it's 2.5 million angry bird plushie dolls so I roaming the central hall so the rumor is that they had them they were going to give them out and they were not delivered in time yes how do we even prove that well we'll find someone we

my own that happen okay I say yes it did have that you're sure I'm like I know it won't know I regret and our final bet is that the PlayStation 4 will come out this year right or 2014 I mean that's a long way yes this rumor actually is that it's not coming out anytime soon not coming out anytime soon I agree see I agree but then Sharon is already previously saying you got it you know I'm in
