it's Monday februari 27th 2012 it's the 44 show on Sina TV I'm Jeff Bakalar I'm Bridget Carey I'm Justin you this is the show where we're covered in scorpions what kind of a bizarre shows are we though I mean without the reference i think was flutterguy in the chat room there was a weird echo before in the pre-show yeah and her guy made an amazing reference to the original like 1995 x-men animated series where i think is like the Morlocks wow really dirty out right now but yeah I'm fine digitize Wolverine into thinking uh he was covered in Scott the evidence all the Wolverine you're just as vulnerable as we thought you were so good we got bridgie carry on the show today what's up Bridget it's not gonna be here how are you doing great thanks for uh for being here it's a pleasure awesome it's a pleasure for us as well so everyone is being pleasured right now Richard gross Richard is back as well yeah love that thanks man we appreciate you doing this we know you don't have to yeah well thank you for choosing us thanks a lot for a couple seconds and I pushed the wrong button you're like say your face if you want to do that you can you can don't be afraid man you're here all right there you go all right getting used to that I'm loving it Jeff I'm looking at a very cool photo that you took and put up on Twitter over the weekend uh can I want to call you a phony though for saying that you spotted this 404 sticker in the wild at windham mountain while you're skiing I'm not a phony yeah but in the wild meant that you just put it up there's technically I did see it yeah okay that's it after feeling someone hiding and putting it on the pole hey however it got there's none of my business okay all right but I went skiing this weekend at windham mountain and it was delightful yeah I was and we talked earlier in the pre-show apparently you're you're not Ivan scheme really long time but I feel like the window of opportunity to do that at my age is you know what are you Tom all early years older than you I'm saying to snowboard skiing maybe but you know alrighty guys are we yeah do you don't worry about it if you want a snowboard snowboard okay if you want to write your bike down the mountain we do boards on the wheels do it hahaha whatever you want to do to play skee free at home instead of going to the actual mountain I'm gonna do that you remember that game with you bominable snowman take me back what I don't understand yeah are the people who are in snow shoes walking up the mountain like that's something to do okay well hiking yeah oh do that I don't know I just don't get that you're here there's all these amenities available to you and you decide to put tennis rackets on and walk up the matter I'm sorry I just don't get it yeah you know maybe if you're walking up and then skiing down that sounds maybe it's pretty that's you know you're stretching out your day they're right but at least you're coming down and a lot of but walking up man I don't get people who do tell me the truth what color diamond oh we do I didn't wide just don't do double blacks and do black crazy one right those are the ones that are just like hey nice knowing you yeah you know yeah people die on those no beginner one was it goes it goes green blue and then black diamond and double black I stay away from double blacks I do everything else yeah I do regular black blues I like blue is the best very cool yeah but yeah man it was fun I love him just sore everything's my fingers hurt Oh buddy I got angry so but I've never done it what's what's better for you to try first green or the or the snowboarding or I would say you should try skiing first it's just I think easier I think Richard can attest to that skiing ZZ yeah I think skiing is easier to learn if you snowboard and as well boarded once um jenny was it wasn't funny you're all right yeah I hard time balancing when ya with one foot facing Brett one way you know I like both be facing the same of course and that's understandable because when you're on a snowboard you have to trust physics a lot you have to just put it past yourself that you know what I'm leaning over and it feels like I'm gonna fall but gravity and and you know kinetic energy will take their course and do what they have to do in sup it's scary if you don't you know if you know treasures up that's why learning Young is so important because when you're young you have no fear and falling you're not gonna hurt as much shorter what's gonna happen you're just you're just a 40 pound ball of mush it doesn't matter you're gonna hurt yourself you know what I have noticed though everyone's wearing a helmet now oh really everyone wears a helmet as did I remember your helmet that had an mp3 player and headphones rail right into its you listen for sure everyone on the mounds were in homes good and I think that's the smartest and and I've been you know on manza for you know 15 years right and in the beginning that was a rarity now everyone has which is great you were like the full face hockey mask no you know and I would and actually my nose is a little red yeah from stuck getting sunburned I guess I usually wear like a scarf over my face and then the goggle the right rabbit didn't do it and I guy look like you know better than that I know I know the only I don't know why it's like a smaller mountain you know it wasn't i wasn't expecting crazy conditions but it was beautiful yesterday and I just got blasted in the face yeah never worn a helmet you know you got a man I know it's time for you to do that I'll start now yeah you gotta do it even if you're just renting a helmet dude yeah all right prop look at me and promise me all right that's all I want to hear well while you were out skiing enjoying the outdoors I was inside with 200 nerds at this aviary photo hackathon really heard about like these kinds of things so long aviary is this website that lets you do online photo shopping tools okay it's really cool so it uh sort of democratizes the whole photo editing experience and every couple months they throw this thing called the photo hackathon it's were like 200 pro companies will release the api's to their applications online okay like things like aviary and face match.com or things like that though releases AV eyes invite developers to come and build applications over the course of two days and then at the end of that they'll invite them to come to a show guys really cool display everything they made right so on like I attended one of these things because my buddy's works at aviary right I read your friends yeah really cool so one of the best things I saw there was this thing called the ex remover and the idea is that you know when you go on trips to like Paris sure ever all you want to remember those trips but if you break up with the person you when maybe you want to keep the photos but not remember that person is interesting you bring that very situation up yeah so the idea why because you just want a ski trip just know I'm saying like because I just got my wedding album back oh right some people who are in that wedding don't see not together anymore yeah so cool you could use this thing so basically what it does it uses every song on the EP I yeah it really does it don't like analyze the faces everywhere yeah in the photo yeah and then it like goes online and matches that face uses recognition to find other phases of models that look like the person sure and then replaces all that they just pictures go into the pest and kill them that could work to invent it just I mean come on I talk about a real photo shot that's right way to do it I think I'm sorry this is cool then it looks like you went on a trip with a model instead of this ex-girlfriend Beast you went with right Rachel wants a river that changes it's pretty cool stuff like that I think is is a pretty interesting alright that's cool so you did that this weekend yeah very cool our last night was the Oscars everyone watch the Oscars so much pieces of it yeah did you like the pieces you saw I saw the end mostly and I saw ya Billy Crystal's intro you know yeah classic yeah but a little don't aim side sure I like Billy Crystal yeah this is something a little awkward about him now really well he I don't I didn't think he was gonna be one of the guys to do all like the plastic surgery sort of thing tell he looks a little artificial I was thinking that I was thinking that as a key he aged and you know it's it's just weird that's not city slickers you know a billy crystal over there city slickers Billy Crystal was like healthy look right you know this guy's just looks like plasticky I was also watching clips of it cuz I didn't get to catch it live right but did he dress up in blackface to do a thing Davis jr. scale well he's been doing Sammy Davis for years we're gonna sin el mateys so so for him it well like what he what he's known for feel like he would rationalize it by saying he was a Jew also you know that's still not cool yeah wait Sammy Davis jr. I believe so wasn't he converted to Judaism was surprised because I grew up watching a lot of old SNL so it didn't phase me but then online everyone was going on about it yeah I endless in the chair go am I the only one that dislikes Billy Crystal I think so i don't really dislike him he's a lovable guy he's been around forever isn't done a lot of stuff lately but you know him coming back to the I don't know it is weird it was like man you're the same Billy Crystal 1987 right and you doing the same stick and I would be surprised a lot of young people watching the show drytown know who the guy was exactly haven't seen what you said i think what you said it's like bringing Jon Lovitz out right no one John leaping all the benefit yeah exactly yeah they're more worried about like remaking the matrix movie right something like that I can't wait till they do that ya know Billy Crystal's he definitely has this place in hollywood so we're there there any big surprises or disappointments rewards surprised that anyone won an Oscar because movies this year sucked okay I'm sorry I just didn't see in the artist but yeah yeah when it comes out see it yeah that was that was supposed to break it one board that was no surprise i mean you learn is something different so they're going to get rewarded for it right i don't know uh you know I Woody Allen won for best original screenplay from Midnight in Paris yeah it was good i enjoyed the movie i don't know if it was you know bad that i have judgments on these movies that i haven't seen like I could let me judge them by whether I would want to see it or not midnight in paris but i'm really excited that like the Muppets 14 song yeah just face up Bret McKenzie on flight of the conchords yeah Oscar that was cool I heard that a trent reznor didn't get nominated for the growth Dragon Tattoo score I thought that was supposed to be a shoo-in yeah I don't know that and then drive wasn't also nominated weird what are you gonna do yeah what are you gonna do you make a black black and white movie why not yeah that's what works I don't normally odds you guys catch the pre shows like the red carpet I did a little bit yeah yeah and cool happy with that all you heard about the ryan seacrest i did I saw that not funny and we're you know we're personally afflicted by that just because of him being a former seen at alumni that's right yeah a lot of people know that no rest used to work at CNN he did he do first look videos how'd it start other gorillas late he started a podcast yeah okay I don't know what happened but uh you know Sacha Baron Cohen was in the dictator outfit yet that new movie he's back knew he had to what they are saying no you can't come on the red carpet less he promises not to be the dictator yeah and then he did it and that was at any he said he had Kim's is that was the agent ashes any poor them all over there all poor Seacrest I don't bad for that guy like if anyone asks you what you wear anywhere in Kim Jong is that what he said yeah that's not bad man who did the prank thing better Sacha Baron Cohen or tom green what did Tom Green do just pranks in general was he drinking with a better prankster Oh Sasha yeah I mean more like when you watch the HBO Borat now that's I mean he got some people he really shows the true side of of like real you know dirty sort of places in America right you know maybe one of people that should be made of course he makes fun of people who are ignorant and racist yeah so that's great you know um anything else cool happen at the Oscars nip slips that's all like a JLo nip slip dreamer see that I don't think it was fully out yet it's there's no fully you know it wasn't like the groundhog came out yeah it was just more like a chance of it right I did my research yes you have the official like yes or no I yeah I got to complete now like wave it off no guy Google notification for nips legit with the into the replay yeah yeah you challenge the ruling on the field alright so maybe we should get into a little bit of news yeah you know this new clip thing so what's going on in the world is uh more Mobile World Congress is going on in Barcelona my own world expo mcgarin and apparently the big news from there is that quad core is the is the wave of the future in terms of android cell phones is am i right in saying that but you're the news expert here my mind you are the expert I just you know read headlines every yeah quad-core everyone's talking about that algae and and I'm looking at the names of some of these new phones and I think we went from this era of everything very empowering and you just felt so great having your hero or your epic and now it's all letters really yeah it's the 1x the 1s the 1v or the Xperia P you again wait was that a real thing yes interceptors ooh the pnd you it was like this apu that's what we were talking about this last we were saying you know TV manufacturers should adopt the nomenclature that cell phone manufacturers have have sort of evolved into in calling phones words verb something trying to get them under one family released HTC One X the 1s its kind of playing off of samsung galaxy and it's the gas samsung galaxy blink right you always remember to go to that brand and whatever kind of flavor it is you figure it out I yeah and are trying I think copy that success okay it's interesting but but but to me the little but the letters after it just kind of become nothing Yeah right it's a little bit more difficult to understand but Sony I like that they just do single letters right so it's Sony Xperia P or zone Xperia you like that seems a little easier than that well John will dry out yeah soon as well there's it tell us about the Samsung Galaxy Beam though this is something that kind of interest yeah this sounds yeah they Samsung pulled out a cool card by showing a smartphone the beam that has a projector built into it I mean that that thing looks really is on the top it yeah they said with the first look of it in a dark room the Cena editors were saying it looked like a good quality of course there's no you know facts on availability or price there never really is on these first days but right um it's pretty it's kind of like an interesting gimmick they say they're not targeting business though they're targeting like young consumers who just want to show off videos photos to friends right at least that's the impression that seemed to be in the atmosphere there without all the amazing applications for this though yeah and I'm thinking in the most perverse sense of things really mess with your teachers class no like I'm worse things are you men so like there keep your teachers up in front of the class yeah and oh no she's wearing a white blouse or whatever Oh so you just project something amazing onto her I mean under whatever you know like I'm just thinking of like that scene in a sprint or two right you know what I mean wait wheeler in the projection room right that's what I'm thinking right right these are endless with this thing yeah okay here's a picture my knees and I'm just gonna project on the wall fine yeah but come on man it's and have some fun I think it's gonna be really weird to see a bunch of crazy people just staring at what looks like a normal wall but then if you go up closer the rightly projecting a photo on right right like a brick wall or something I think a great idea for commercial for me and this is something that I would instantly relate to I'm walking down the street and I just see a guy on this like on the side of the corner right he's projecting slingbox onto a blank wall because he wants to watch the end of the game right that's kind of cool then everyone will gather as a gathering and the police come and lock them all about your commercial Samsung so you know I'm saying like that to me is really cool yeah but does it work with any sort of video outlet can you put says affect anything that is green gonna project the exact screen yes total just mirror what I was on the screen that's really cool and I'm sure the resolution is gonna be better it's got it if they're really come out with it they're not gonna it's really cool I just a I don't know I wonder how much energy it takes I wonder how it must kill the battery here's one I don't get okay so nokia comes out with a camera phone or a phone that has a camera 41-megapixel what what 41 41 point 1 i'm not missing a point that seems like way too many megapixels camera girl regular consumer cameras don't anyways what is that doing except for just you know marketing and killing a onboard storage or your memory card there should be a printer embedded into that phone you can immediately print out those hi Reza you want what what is this for the the billboard is going to be your view wow is that a game changer no no that's a stunt that is a stunt here it is this is a game ender your view 808 look at that 41 megapixels you have it almost looks like you have to bring along this attachment it's ridiculous to carry on the phone that's ridiculous man all right what is anything else of note coming out of uh mwc is what the is gonna happen it's gonna be all week long and we're gonna get lots more every day yeah guys I mean there's apparently more coming at it from Samsung to it seems like the trend though is to have just larger larger physical displays though I just wonder like 4.7 I'm looking at this LG optimus 4x HD yeah where's name ever uh it has a 4.7 inch HD display they're all at least four inches do I don't know if that's for the trench yeah in fact i saw one looks like the smaller 4 inch model like four inches now the smaller but you know what i don't know i think the end so i think the next iPhones gonna have a huge screen um i just i go back to my galaxy nexus to someone's I've I'm just like what is this giant what is this it was this a little kids phone that you found on the playground come on I do like the the larger screen I don't know about four point you know five inches or getting up to five inches yeah but I mean if we're doing more media and you know you know surfing the web more of czar one device right it is comfortable to look at long yeah i was reading about the gallic of the samsung galaxy note 3 OS three okay which is supposed to have a 1080p resolution on a four point eight inch screen that is mind blow ya and you know is it me or is the evolution or the sort of like proportionality of of where phones and and and their speed sort of like lineup that is just quicker than anything yeah you know i remember even with like personal computers it just took a while you know things you know it would go okay 16 gig 16 gigabytes of uh 60 megabytes around then yet 32 and now they're like single core dual core quad core within 18 months it seems like there's a disparity between what these two industries want like laptops are getting smaller mmm tablets are getting smaller than phones are getting bigger at what point others gonna meet in the middle and just finally decide on what size we should all be used right this one will be the galaxy note yeah that's it totally I wonder with a sweet spot is no also out of uh the the Congress there uh there was an unbelievable stat that I thought I was worth sharing with everybody Android operating system see 850,000 activations a day think about that how many new phones yeah new I guess it's the people switching over to google or whatever it is that's a lot 850,000 a day whether what that is compared to iPhones I don't know sup from 700,000 in January so little food for thought yeah really cool you're included in that list of people well not real I've had a good I've had an android phone for a while right right but it's yeah it's it's pretty impressive arm let's talk about uh facebook and text messages this is a scary headlines yeah you know speaking of your Android this is something that's affecting this community here so over the weekend the London Sunday Times they reported that Facebook has admitted to reading text messages as part of a trial program I guess in the future they're gonna be planning to offer SMS messaging embedded in their app okay so right now they're testing that out part of that trial to launch their own messaging service involves uh looking at users text messages that download their facebook application to their android phones and uh you know a lot of those publications have contacted facebook there's a statement admitting to it and uh yeah i think this is more of a reason why obama's privacy policy last week should definitely be happening soon so that companies can't do this or you should be able to opt out okay i'll let you know that they're doing something yes well apparently there is a you know there was a disclaimer when you check out the term service agreement in the beginning but no one reads one's dreams I about this but that's the next sort of legality that needs right yeah stay right yeah we're not going to read the 20 pages but say up front here are the things that are changing right right no one's ever come out and said look terms of service are nonsense who's gonna read literally 15 thousand words on what exactly is going on someone used either like bullet point it or make it digestible in a way that I can see it right understand it and move on I make it a law that it has to be this easy to digest exactly it's all fine print BS is is it's too much yeah you know it's like at the end of those radio commercials we're here guys speak in a mile a minute right you're like what the hell saying who knows what's gonna happen right I hit OK and then apps get updated all the time so much to where there are like pages and pages of new features and upgrades and no one reads s up they just hit the upgrade who does it the worst starting to piss me off Sony does it with their PlayStation stuff right when you want to install the new version of the firmware for playstation 3 right you gotta flip through an entire friggin thing right and no one does that who the hell well you got a scroll down till it says except like okay finally after you know 40,000 words I can play you know twisted metal and only one verb change on line 6 of page 32 exactly why do you I'll put out a play devil's advocate here and ask if it's the consumers responsibility to read it just like they would with ingredients on the side of a package before they himself there's a lot of less ingredients on the side of a package right there's a reasonable expectation I think and I think it's too much to ask to say why are you chain why what is the update yeah what's the highlight right that's you know that's a lie a sort of trying to do stuff like that we know they're there new privacy policy that's taken effect march one they've been blasting every time you go check your gmail bless you bless you bless you look we're changing stuff click this and it gives you a decent summary of what exactly is happening you know they're being as transparent as I guess we would like them to be so I don't know that I would like that trend to you know be universal we only have a few minutes today because we have to end a little early as a few other shows coming in after us but let's get to some calls from public quick time to show the love 86
