Rumor Has It, Ep. 23: The iPad is so close, we can taste it

2012-03-06
tomorrow is the moment we've all been waiting for keppel's ipad event is finally here yay will they finally announced the ipad 3 will it be called something else will it have a home button are we so stoked to not have to talk about it anymore all that plus yeas and nays on today's rumor has it there now it's tuesday march six 2012 and welcome to rumor has it I'm Kareem levy and I'm Emily Dreyfus and you are tuned into the Internet's tackiest gambling show where each week we round up the hottest rumors and decide which ones are true and which ones are pure fantasy and then we bet and then we bet on them and in fact actually the bedding board this week is back to equal we're at a tie again oh right because of the cannon the cannon mark my 53 yeah thing that we didn't bet on the actual date it was coming out we just bet it was coming out soon came out and Laura Gruden held in her arms like a lovely baby totally so now we're we both have a point on the board halation day for last month when Emily didn't win I don't wanna say lost yet she lost thank you thank you mama mia we're gonna do that next week because we have something kind of funny ya later today we are going to go out into the streets to create a hilarious humiliation day video for you and so don't miss it next week that's next week Sancho before we get into our show we have something very important to talk about I think Steven wants to uh yes I'll take it from here we have we have an imitator what it was to say imitation is the highest form of flattery yeah yeah yeah I'm flattered or not flattered you mad yeah this is terrible Emmitt imitators yeah so we got a voicemail from Nathan in Australia and he's gonna he's going to kind of set this up for us so let's take a listen hey rumor has it this is nice and calling from Australia I'm just going said I was absolutely mortified when listening to this new circle podcast called the cult car I should when they copied your idea of yay 9 section and didn't even give you any credit for apple steals other people's paintings but I've been seized Apple podcast did the same anyway I thought you might be interested to know that these people are copying your ideas so we are interested on a hand a lawsuit of the show and then we got another email about an email about who I thought was the same guy no I didn't remember what the voicemail is the name was and it's a different person let's see if i could find that email he was like two minutes in they do this and I was like okay now that two people have said it we have to take it seriously we have to investigate yes we are on the wrong got an email from Robbie Barrett who is also on the case detective robby who said to listen to cult cast number two about a minute or two in what we do not advise that do not listen to it unless you want to comment on them their stuff and say you copied rumor has it who did it first yeah yeah and then he said you should sue them so basically two people have advised us to take this law and torah now I do know a bunch of law school dropouts perfect that's exactly Lori so we're gonna round up her gaggle of lawsuit dropouts and sue the pants off of beep beep I'm not gonna say their name yes let me say their name I did some investigating and I actually pulled an excerpt from the show and this is this is him verbatim copying our segment it's it's I don't like it you might expect there are lots of juicy iPad rumors and stories talked about and I thought to kind of get through all the rumors quickly we could play a fun new game you get eye cream may create hours ago called yay or nay and you're going to say yay if you believe the rumor to be true and that we're gonna see that rumor happen we're gonna say nay if you believe it to be inaccurate yeah your name and he created it literally several hours ago why did he have to say nothing that that listeners and viewers should know is that they started that like two weeks ago and we went back into our records and I decided when was it that Emily came in one morning and said Kareem we will now be doing this and green was like wait stop what do you mean and it was februari seventh yes day we first and he viewed yay or nay yea or nay if they start using our music and theme whatever that the thing that Stephen made yeah and if they do Cano's intro oh then we'll really know yeah that they're basically just spicing up our show no it could be coincidence but seriously back off our turf yeah this is our somebody said the solution is obvious call let's see Big Rob the solution is obvious call them out on Twitter and allow the internet to run its course thank you that's exactly right that's what will happen is they will be booed out of the country okay internet works in mysterious ways okay but now we've gotten that out of our system let us get to our special episode guys I know you know what's coming you see this from a mile away tomorrow Apple is having an ipad event and likely they are announcing the new ipad and i think that there's consensus among the people of the world but that's what's gonna happen so we are gonna have a special ipad focused show today and for all you Apple haters I'm so sorry but this is one thing that i will tell you because we're having the show today we won't have to have it ever again yeah until the iphone sorry yeah sorry that's a week it'll be all android and webos no no I want me know I bless but will be Android and it will be Windows Phone and it'll be wonderful but today we've gotta take the bull by the horns and talk about the ipad before we have to that's our job and it's not because we're getting paid by Apple it's not because we work for Apple secretly or not fatty it's because there's I mean this is what is happening in the world tomorrow there is an event and we've been talking about rumors since I don't know ninety four episodes baby yeah um and the thing is this eat whether or not you want the ipad the device that's going to come out tomorrow there's so much hype surrounding it there's so many eyes on it that it's going to be really really important can it live up to the hype will it be a game-changer has Apple managed to get the retina display does anyone care will it be more expensive it's all going to have a huge impact on the technology world and on the market so let's get down to the rumors that we think are really gonna happen all right the first one is the rumor that I think has been going around since last July that the ipad the new ipad will not be called ipad 3 but will rather be called ipad HD I can't believe this rumors been coming around since July that's pretty yeah oh yeah I mean anything in July it was all anonymous sources and we were drinking rum every time anyone spoke about it because this is you know we drink whenever anyone mentions an anonymous source but just yesterday our cnet news Apple blogger Josh Lowensohn confirmed with a trusted source now granted this is an anonymous source we said you should all drink even though one of our people but he spoke by phone to a apple app developer who has been right before right and so has a proven track record in Josh's mind who confirmed one hundred percent without a doubt that the ipad is going to be called ipad HD now to me this rings completely true because as we've been hearing and as people who've been listening to this podcast for all 24 episodes will know the big feature that is the main reason why there even is going to be a redesigned ipad is to get a Retina display a higher resolution jam more pixels into that display that's why apple's doing it that's that is I mean that the way that they could fail tomorrow is by not delivering this high def display because everyone assumes it's coming so and and even though like it was called iPad that was called ipad 2 and they do that with the iphone they have like a numerical way of doing things they have in the past deviated from that right by calling out the big feature and that is was the first time they did that was the iphone 3g right which without exactly which was the reason to even create a new iphone at that time was because it was suddenly going to have 3g which was at that point a really big deal it wasn't going to be a slow little slow poke running its data on an edge network I remember those never that does news like eons ago yeah but so because this one feature is so hyped it kind of to me make sense that they would call out that feature because realistically a lot of people are saying and I think Kareem and iron and Stephen are in consensus it's not gonna be a new shape they want the way the old covers to fit it want the old apps that are designed for a four by three aspect ratio to work you know right because everybody exactly because that's their banking on how many apps they have right now totally and they wouldn't scrap those thousands and thousands of ads by apps by and ads and adds exactly and revenue um by changing the shape and size so I think the big thing is gonna have is a huge high high def high res and that is how they're gonna convince little old people like me who literally bought my ipad to what six months ago yeah the other day the other I mean and granted thought was a while ago and I still love it and I'm not gonna get rid of it but this is the way they're gonna make me try try to convince me to go further into debt to buy their new shiny toy well and I still have the first generation iPad and I'm like new ureter totally well and what's funny when I was talking with I hung out with my parents as weekend I hung out with some of their friends and I was like and they were asking me what I thought was going to be the big news on Wednesday because now I'm a rumor expert obviously and and I was like well i think you know it's going to have an HD display or the retina display and they were amazed that it didn't already have that because they're like i have an ipad 2 and it looks unreal look so much better even than my iphone and I'm like I don't even know how I mean it's basically you're gonna be like in India head of it well how is it gonna fit how's it gonna get anybody well know what they're gonna do is I can tell you exactly they are going to cram in um it's going to be better than 1080p basically it's going to be 2048 x 1536 pixels so essentially they're going to double the amount of pixels in the screen it's going to be like in real life and I actually totally agree with your parents that like the iPad you already looks wonderful i watch movies on it i watch HBO go on and it's crisp it's clear a beautiful however sometimes you can see where it falls apart when you interact with live streaming with facetime now part of the problem with facetime because the cameras off right I bet do is so bad so hopefully the new iPad tomorrow we'll have a better camera and I'm sure that that'll be like the last thing they even mention at the announcement because it's not a big deal but it'll make things a lot better but I mean I'm just freaking out like imagine if they make the camera really really great then this high res HD when you FaceTime with people you're gonna be so distracted by being like look at my look at how amazing I look or like how did I look you're like you know you have that moment like I'm looking pretty good oh yeah things are going pretty great and then you see yourself in HD and you're like oh god I really gotta reevaluate my place hopefully and my makeup situation or he'll be like actually grandma I don't want a face time with you right now because I'm a little scared sorry grandma um but so basically that's um one rumor I pad HD not ipad 3 great the next rumor is that it may be running iOS 6 now this is a controversial rumor I tweeted about this earlier today and every single person on Twitter it appeared to me said Oh dummies I was 6 and I lost all respect for you when you said the word something oh you just lost two hours I don't know I did I lost your mother like someone called me on more on now I will have you know winner that ARS technica another little tech blog found iPads running ios6 in their traffic logs now that does not mean at all that the device coming out tomorrow is going to be running iOS 6 all it means is that something dubbed iOS 6 on an iPad which could very easily be iPad tues or read that let's not have to invite s let's also point out that they pinpointed this to uh what what what yeah 14 oh yeah yeah so it was from Apple headquarters it wasn't just I mean and that makes sense right because they're testing the other texture and I mean Apple does as we know from the times they've lost iPhones in bars they do give their developers and their testers devices to take out into the world and take home with them like the other day when I was at my friend's house and he was using an iphone that had a little developer number on it it was a prototype and he is all trying to show me pictures of his baby and I was like yeah I'm pretending to look at the pictures of your baby but really I'm memorizing the prototype number eight in the house her I was like so Emily what was it she's like no I'm not it i have it i googled it i just it doesn't come up i don't know what it is yeah 2446 memorized it oh I totally didn't look at those amazingly gorgeous baby photos for you I sacrifice yeah not so new for 46 means something somewhere to some baby yeah or maybe he's nothing but what I'm saying is I think that that that is probably not even a new iphone I'm sure that was like an old old old prototype but what I'm saying is that it peep they do give devices out to test but these I've pads that were found running iOS 6 on ours técnicas traffic logs on sup using safari were located in cupertino at apple headquarters the testing was happening in house so I mean to me that means I don't know what maybe it's not that far along in development all right and it's just interesting that like they just found it now like when there's an event coming you know what i mean so maybe it is coming out soon tomorrow yeah not however like when mountain lion was being tested they found evidence of it in logs six months before it came out so the fact that they just found evidence of it means that maybe it's very much still in production however if it were to have iOS 6 that would be very interesting for us because I mean the new iPad would then who knows what it would have it right have more capabilities in terms of different touch gestures and that would drive with the rumor that you're gonna discuss in a moment I know that is there maybe there's no home button yeah which is crazy um yes sirree as well i mean well series on iOS 5 right well what's interesting about the iOS 6 is like I feel like this is the first time that I've heard this rumor like it just happened the other day and and all these other rumors like the HD or no home button you know there's just yet a lot of chatter about that and so this iOS 6 thing seems like it just came out of nowhere and like I don't know I feel well we could bet on it later but I feel like it is a little premature for it to happen tomorrow because we just started hearing about it and usually we hear about something for a thousand years before it happened totally exactly so yeah it's interesting though that it just happened I mean it's kind of a coinky and probably they will announce something like oh and also there's gonna be a new I work and a new ilife suite and therefore you're gonna have to download iOS 5.2 right in the six months alright so as Emily mentioned the other rumoured that is going to be big is uh that the ipad 3 may cast off far away the home button which would be a huge departure from their design so when Apple sent out its ipad event invite last week everybody freaked out over the missing home button in the photo as you can see there is you know an apple always when they when they send out invites or they always have like a secret message like their wednesday the seventh like that's when the date is and oh god what why isn't there a home button like that just yeah seemed a little bit too coincidental to not mean anything so people were quick to point out that the ipad in the picture is actually maybe on its side is that landscape yeah and i was immediately i'm showing is that you can move the dock to the side so like cuz what in that image the doc is down below where you would normally find the home button but maybe what they're showing is that that doc can be moodle little slider rather than staying cuz it always stays on on the normal one oh you know oh i see that's interesting yeah i forgot that that happens i guess i could have brought the ipad in here i I was gonna bring mine into it I can oh so anyway so people are you know commenting and they were looking you can tell that it's in landscape because of how far away the apps are spaced from each other like they were I mean they were looking at it in so much detail that I barely even noticed that the home button was missing when I looked at that picture until josh lowensohn like made that picture with like a pugio the day there's like meeting here look here so I was like wow that's pretty crazy but I don't know so iOS was at 4.3 wrong with it the touch screen jesters as you were just mentioning where you can like move with four fingers you can use your hands kind of like what the mac OS x 10 mountain lion 90 I am a stabbing robot I am a stabbing robot you guys that's five voices my boy e-roc reference I don't think that counts as a as a voice that was a five that's five five win um so anyway so the touch gestures have been a thing there you know that you could already do it on your trackpad on your Mac you can already do it on your iPad so you can swipe with four fingers you can do this to close an app you can whatever so the home button is kind of I don't want to say unnecessary because frankly I don't use the touch stressors I have them enabled but I still click on the button or double-click to bring up all the apps that I have open heart over and so I guess they're kind of moving in that direction that you don't really need the home button the home button really only gets you back to your I think of the home button is like the button of last resort yeah gotten too far into your app and you're like I must go back must abort abort mission work and push it so hey exactly this will self-destruct so I mean I guess that button might not necessarily be necessary unless you you're looking for Siri because you hold on to it up series so if they get rid of the home button does that mean that Siri won't be there well Siri just be like another app on the dock Thank You Siri have our own special touch screen thing regal like nothing here we come maybe you have to make all those voices and faces together on sir you have you seen um how I windows 8 unlocks I was playing with we have a tablet that has windows 8 they down on it and it's really cool it unlocks with like a touch password and intersex Rosenblatt has it set up that like so when it's when it is not on and when it's locked it has a picture of his motorcycle and then he has a secret password that involves him touching the images of his motorcycle in exactly the right weird pattern and that's the unlock that's pretty awesome so that's maybe you have to unlock Syria like that your LCD on write my name I mean the whole gun the funny thing about Syria those the whole point is to make it like easier text message while you're driving and like to do all this time I mean I guess you don't know surely need to do your ipod if you're like sex xx 1 yeah like drawing her face on the screen like a love letter to Syria by that time is crashed and then you're like Siri get the police and she's like you want to listen you want to listen to the police okay so anyway so this rumor about the the myth that you know getting rid of the home button has been around since the ipad 2 came out when touch gestures came out so interesting it's kind of interesting to note we'll see you know yeah maybe it is that the doc is now moving to its side which will be exciting but not as exciting as a redesign totally um but this is a very controversial rumor I mean some people are like of course though everything's moving in the direction of touch screen only and other people are like that puttan is perfect yeah don't shut my move the button yeah I hope they don't cuz then how are you gonna hard boot I mean my phone gets stuck and I have to hard boot it sometimes right that's true cuz right now you have to click the top thing I've never had to hard boot my my iPad though someone would shoot I know my first generation iPad is probably they're probably sending things to it right now to break it so i buy an ipad 3 i'm sure there is that lasting longer than we thought dad oh my god over the air update to home buddy stop working so anyway okay so the next rumor that might happen tomorrow that has been loud and clear in the rumor mill is that Apple is prepping an eight gig ipad 2 like they did when they released the iphone 4s they then said that the iphone 4 will be 8 gigs and will be ninety nine dollars so in order to compete with all the stuff that they're not tablet and the cattle fires that remove that both have eight gig versions right so then so and and they're a little bit cheaper I don't think they're going to drop the price much but if the ipad 2 is still going to be on store shelves and then they release kind of a cheaper version it's their way of being like all right fine you guys can have this thing why wouldn't they do that because it's like I know you know yeah it's not an apples like their mentality to like compete directly like that with other people but I mean if they did it with the iphone they might as well do it with this one my gut tells me that this is not something Apple would do with the iPad because they kind of invented the tablet market there they run they run the show they develop they created the need and they don't I don't think they really do need to compete with kindle fire and not tablet because they're not really the nook tablet and the end the Kindle Fire competing with that each other you're like oh they're competing for the like five percent of the market that the iPads not dominating right and a beat master in the chat room has a good point says that they need cheaper iPads for selling ibooks to school that is true which is a good a good thing but the only problem I see with an eight gig ipad is you know I have a 16 gigabyte which is the smallest iPad watching and I was like this is gonna last me forever and ever I don't I'm not gonna cut ever and all of a sudden i'm downloading fifa that soccer game and it's like one gigabyte i had to delete everything and look the thing with iCloud is that your games still exist in the cloud you don't know if like rebuy them you can just redownload them and kind of switch up so it's like you're saving your stuff in the cloud but it sucks like that i mean not also waiting almost set up your ipad i think that like just the system takes up four gigs right which was shocking and i guess it on an eight gig they would have a more like stripped-down system because that would be half of your memory yeah so i don't know but without an expandable memory like an SD card slot or ever will not happen that was definitely not going to happen so without that I mean that's how the kindle fire the nuke tablet has a SD card yeah I guess yandel Fire doesn't but interesting tablets big selling point and i also think like if they did do this they created an 8 gigabyte ipad that would be cheaper it would not be the magic number of 199 that the nook tablet and the kindle fire are i just don't think i will can go that low i don't think they will go totally not if it has a Retina display which they're gonna be paying a lot to make and is well this is for the ipad 2 ipad 2 is gonna be eight gig not an ipad you're saying it won't uh they're gonna release us like they did they released the eight gig iphone 4 when they did that iphone 4s yeah does that change your mind a little bit no i don't know don't it doesn't change my mind but it does make me think that maybe it would be a little bit cheaper because i was think that you did this little ass till like one hundred and fifty dollars more than the kindle fire which I still think maybe is true the starting point would be like 350 right instead of 499 yeah but interesting very interesting so we'll see all that tomorrow so let's take a quick quick break so we can regroup and get ourselves and we'll see you on the other side television is about to change and we're the ones who are going to change it hello what would you like to watch introducing Sri TV the simplest way to watch television sory what else is on I'm sorry I didn't catch that what else is on oh I'm already on what would you like to watch change it to the Bachelorette ah good one no seriously what would you like to watch sherry turn up the volume to turn up the so the way to do turn up the volume show me Portlandia searching the web the TV show Portlandia searching for directions to Portland while all directions to Portland this is the worst thing I've ever seen changing to that new Tim Allen show a very clear the house changing to house no maybe if you hadn't have kept me up all night I'm changing to up all night margarita please don't even get me started about your friends changing to friends are you listen to me but what's on the TV ok Siri turn on genius genius activated you recently watched real sex 32 you may also enjoy cathouse no siree TV still working out the Cape seriously you and we're back thanks for joining us again on the other side of the break um so we just ran down a couple apple rumors for tomorrow's event emily has a couple more that we're going to just yay or nay on later yeah I just want to bring the mention two more features that people expect to get in the ipad and that are really exciting first would be the a6 processor chip and most likely it will have I believe it probably will have a new chip the question is will the a6 actually be quad-core because that's the thing that was rumored to be coming out in June yeah core asus quad-core a6 and maybe it won't be called the asics if it's not quad core but Donald Bell in his predictions post Ryan down really good reasons why they would not want a quad-core chip in this new ipod because it would slow it down or and because it would ruin the battery life that's the main issue right which people would freak out they hate bad back however you need a lot of power and processing power to run the graphics that are going to be wanting that we're going to want on something that has such a good HD display if they have it so I don't know I'm not sure that's up in the air and then the next one is whether or not it will have 4G data right and people are super into that rumors yeah I think it will have forces now AT&T and Verizon both have 4G networks that are in more places they're way more reliable than they were before and iPads do come with a data requirement and with the moment that 3g was available they were on 3g so i think that it is there's a strong likelihood that the data version of the new ipad will be able to run 4g and in that case it'll be so fast but then we're all gonna feel like idiots I don't know Moe I don't know what we're thinking before we think it yes but those are the last 2 i've had rumors that i just want get on the table alright so let's move away from the ipad for really quick for just a second and there was a rumor that came out this week that portals valve will release a steam box console according to overcome so valve which is the company behind the hit computer game portal which i haven't played but i've heard people getting we are alive sucked away into that that's what portal about yet I spent like six months playing this game yeah that's what i've heard which is why i can't pick it up because you'll never see me again because I get totally immersed in these kinds of games and there are also the people behind the popular online game downloading system steam has been working on a hardware and or has sorry been working on hardware and software for a steam box which is a set-top console that would rival the xbox 360 the playstation 3 and even Apple TV according to a report from the verge sorry I citing unnamed sources drinking now there's I just caught a copy editing mistake that they spelled citing wrong I'll go in and fix that later this device could be released at e3 in June or the game developers conference which is like this right now Jesus yeah I this breeze from last week so I guess it's next month but it suits me so holy crap this is what my notes a holy crap this would rock everyone's world which would be so I had to do a little bit of research by talking to some friends who play the steam which is Sparkman from the chat room and he was telling me that he's played some steam games a little bit basically it's downloaded games from their site that you download onto your computer or whatever and you can play it on you even have a mobile app I guess it's a nap whatever mobile you can play it on your mobile device you can play it on your Mac you can play it on your pc and it's PC games that you can play anywhere even if your computer isn't necessarily a gaming computer because you're it doesn't need the resources i guess that a gaming computer hey yeah i think it like allows you to it offload some of the work load onto their servers their Soviet even if you have not as you don't have an alienware tower computer that can do it it can supplement so that you can play the great good game and so and it's not like streaming necessarily it is downloaded onto your computer but yeah so it's a little bit maybe it's kind of like how the kindle fire works like some of the stuff is happening up there and some of the stuff is happening on your i remember when it first came out dan ackerman was like ace is blowing my mom yeah and summoning the chatroom said that they were talking about it yesterday in labs cast so I think this so this is blowing everybody's mind um so what's interesting about this rumor is that day if they are creating a set-top box and the rumor doesn't say that they will be doing that by themselves so they're not going to get into the hardware manufacturing business yet they might partner with alienware or dell or I guess dell isn't dell alienware i think dell is alienware yeah okay sorry that was actually I'm not positive um anyway there might be partnering with a hardware manufacturer to create the set-top box and the it will even be able to is dull yeah it is Adela's alienware the steam box will be able to serve up games from its rival which is EA's origin which is really good job opens up their game library and what's cool about steam is that they put a lot of their older games on sale they're usually a lot cheaper than buying them at the store from amazon or whatever so steam is a really cool system having its own dedicated box means that you can do all your gaming through this one box you know rather than having it take up resources from your other stuff or whatever yeah I read everything or I heard someone speaking about how Ackerman was saying that this may be vaporware mmm because this something like this happened in the past where a game company said oh we're gonna create a whole new device that is optimized for our games and when it finally came out it was just a computer oh and it was basically just a gaming computer and so I'm I think that it'll be very interesting to see if this turns into an actual legit gaming console right is a set-top box or if it's just like a computer that's optimized to run steam totally well and then what was cool about that little you know the diagram that they had in the in that story was that it looked like an Xbox controller and yeah which all the buttons yes and if I'd like yes buttons or I don't I mean I guess you don't because it's all pc games but if you need like an X button or this button were a rolly wheel yeah that's the only switch out the components so that's a pretty neat way of doing things that might be the future maybe you know maybe more a controller should be like that although I really do love my xboxes controller it's big it's ergonomic and I finally have learned what the RT and LT and art whatever buttons arm where they are so I don't die while I'm like looking like this I also think that something like this makes sense because like classic really dedicated consoles may not be long for this world I hate to say it but right when I get one like neither like goodbye well I heard a person from EA talking about how the next generation of xbox and ps3 may really be the last ones and then from that moment on it's going to be sort of focused more on like creating a universe that is melded together for gaming that is a mobile pc and other things which would then in that direction be basically desktop and mobile gaming that have the power to have the graphics of games on ps3 and xbox right which is I mean it's just kind of like how maybe the new PS Vita is because you don't like by actual games anymore like you download that you're just you just are using this device to play games that exists that you're downloading or in the cloud but it is a dedicated piece of hardware writes really interesting to see I mean maybe it's just that people are constantly saying but it's gonna die dedicated gaming hardware is gonna be dead in a few years and maybe it never happens yeah well I don't know if it isn't especially and I would be sad if it did because I like having a dedicated box and and it's cool that the Box can do other things like watch Netflix HBO Go every that eight that you know the next box on yet so I wanted to come to ps3 come on HBO you know i just bought a little like a six dollar DVI to hdmi thing to hook up my computer to my TV so i can watch HBO go and now there was a rumor the other day that it might come to xbox and so i just spent six dollars from nothing oh I need to see my brother all right okay so let's move on I think that we should just I'm gonna basically duck timer myself on this next room or because who cares about you the doctor I'm sure yeah this is about this next rumor is about an apple subscription TV service and it comes from macrumors a report claims that Apple is interested in offering entire channels as apps that could be used on a number of the company's devices including the apple TV which may be getting a refresh tomorrow at the ipad event and potentially the apple branded television set that is in the works so the Wall Street Journal said something about this a little while ago that said basically said that Tim Cook is focusing on trying to do this to try to get content subscribe partnerships with movie companies and TV companies and NBC and CBS and blah blah blah to provide content their way because Apple believes they know how to do it better and Walter Journal said that they had created a new technology for delivering video but then did not say exactly what that was and so basically this is just another example of Apple kind of wanting to control video they dominate music with with the ipod and they sort of created that whole online market they managed to make really good deals with publishers for ibooks though it was a struggle but but Apple has not managed to do that with Hollywood they have not had as much luck and a lot of people it's hard to woo Hollywood you got to take him out to the right restaurant right right on the Rights take seriously no I mean you honestly really have two people said that that was why Google TV failed was because Google didn't go news moves the right way they didn't do the old-school schmoozing they showed up with their Silicon Valley outfits on they weren't dressed up they didn't take them to the ivy in beverly hills and the people in Hollywood really you don't know how to win us over you did it wrong that's so old school I love it it actually makes me like feel good about everything I play that there's little old timey things very only old-timey red wine and a good steak yes how you that's how you got a deal in this town yeah well I know it's like if you're wearing the right baseball cap and you have to order a Caesar salad from the right restaurant an Arnold Palmer yeah but I I think this would be kind of cool mainly because what this would be saying is that you could download the Bravo app the Showtime app I would imagine or the NBC app and then you could get your what the TV that you want instead of having to pay for bundles dr. timer so I think doesn't it might be going in this direction I think that if Apple's trying to do it I applaud them I want to be able to have choices like that I'm not sure that it's going to work but I think that everyone would feel liberated by being able to say look I just want an app for NBC Bravo Showtime Food Network and whatever the channel is that my boyfriend likes to watch that has top shot oh that's good it's the worst show on television but I watch it anyways as of love for love in the right right musing buy you a steak and a glass of wine yeah like behind what I'll do anything so all right so let us how about I read the your knees and you read the voting section sure or do you want to yeah yeah that sounds great alright so now or nay
