hey I'm Korean TV and i'm eric franklin and welcome to rumor has it the show where we round up the week's biggest tech rumors and vote on what sounds likely and what's probably bumped I remember that you can vote on all of the rumors too so keep your eye out for the pole in the interactive player if you're watching on Cena first up according to reports from Paul Thurrott and the verge Microsoft will unveil the next Xbox at a small event am a 21st at the event Microsoft will reportedly touch on many of the consoles details including a five-hundred-dollar price for the regular version and three hundred dollars for a subscription-based model these reports come just days after Microsoft creative director Adam orth basically started trolling his Twitter followers about the rumor that the new xbox will require an internet connection at all times yeah he just didn't understand why people were making such a big deal about it ending his tweet with the hashtag deal with it then he probably like put on stunner shades and he was done yeah chastising your current user base about something they're anxious about historically not awesome it will be like me trolling the comment sections of every cnet review i wrote telling people how wrong they were when they disagree with me yeah but don't you do that like every week quiet okay but i was just i think that oh my god i resisted what is wrong with you i have a problem next we've got some google news for you allegedly google wants to buy whatsapp the super popular messaging service that essentially allows for cross-platform texting without having to pay for SMS according to a report from Digital Trends citing an anonymous source whatsapp is playing hardball getting its selling price up to 1 billion dollars which is just how much Facebook paid for Instagram last year now Instagram was huge when Facebook bought it probably bigger than whatsapp which makes me think that 1 billion dollars is a little bit overpriced but maybe Google is feeling the pressure to boost its mobile chat capabilities especially on the heels of facebook's chat heads yeah cuz you know chat heads in any case all things D reported a whats app exec completely denied this anyway and won't comment any further probably because all these obnoxious journalists are probably calling them up being like hey was that no nope next up remember the ITV it's that fabled television that Apple is probably building causing the rumor mill to disrupt every couple months when talking about it now Apple analyst Brian White predicts the Apple will introduce a 60-inch ITV later this year for between 1500 and 2500 dollars depending on the configuration and accessories but then his prediction gets all crazy he said it would include an eye ring which is a small device placed on the finger that serves as a navigational pointer and takes over some of the functionality of a traditional remote control yes the eye ring also powered by the willpower of the user penny went on to say that the ITV would come with iPad like mini TV screens and that the rumored iWatch would also play an integral part in controlling the TV saying that the devices will increase mobility around the home so he basically just rolled every single Apple rumor into one yeah so you watch your I TV while wearing your i watch in addition to your eye ring and there's second screen action happening on your iPad this all sounds I crazy I think I crazy after all that what do you guys think is an eye ring part of the equation don't forget to vote and leave a comment and we'll check in with the cnet council the cnet council is composed of five editors who cast their votes anonymously their opinions are not an endorsement by cnet or CBS interactive obviously because these are rumors folks and the consul's verdict is no 4 out of 5 editors do not think that the ITV will come with an eye ring thank God now that's our show everybody please share your rumors that rumor has it at cnet com or call us at 1 800 750 cnet and tweet us and thanks to this week's guest host Eric thank you and to the next week for more tech rumors I went off-script I don't know but it still is that also I like spit in her face like sushi
