The 404 Ep. 1006: Where we have no names, man

2012-03-08
it's thursday march eight 2012 you've tuned into the 44 show on Sina TV I'm Jeff Bakalar I'm talk panel bring Lana I'm Justin you and this is the show where we have no names man no name we're nameless we are essentially nameless that's right because the big news of the day or yesterday rather Apple goes ahead and comes out with a new iPad and guess what kids they're calling it the new iPad I hear you hear that that's every member of the AARP losing their minds and confusion because I'm sorry I a good farting noise I'm sorry correct me if I'm wrong correct me if I'm wrong he's simpleton you freaking kindergarten like can you get over this because whatever it's an incremental update it's not that big of a deal in my opinion incremental update I think a lot of people were pissed off at the to my friends were it not about the two can we get over the name i mean the name is knowledgeable know the name is the biggest deal about this okay how do you do this how does the most innovative and smartest company arguably on earth just like self title the ipad i mean i get it i think it's because people would be confused about the hardware versus the generation of the ipad like this is technically the third ipad but it has 4g sokol they can't call it the 3g crazy people think the G stands for a hole at the HD like everyone thought it was going to be me out every single person on the freaking internet was wrong about this I including Xena that's where I got my information but it wasn't just seeing it was everyone everyone said oh really want to call it the HD though that by dated in like 2004 i calling at the HD DVD ipad space yeah dude you look at man what's something like yeah totally right and i was making fun of my coasters use the HD suffix it's ridiculous it's complete nonsense yeah but it's it's still better than calling it the new ipad that's the dumbest thing I've ever what are they gonna call next year's I don't care call it ever unique ID is happening dude you left I don't care what it is you need to just be able to distinguish the dance they made like a sandwich its iPad iPad to an ipad right I don't understand I reckon next year they're actually going to go well I don't know what they're going to do next year but but look at the macbook for example they haven't changed that name the macbook pro they don't have different names it's just okay that's this year's good point right so maybe they're going for some more thing with the ipad good point that makes sense and then it eliminates a lot of confusion that came out of the iphone 3g 3gs 4g for like what is the S stand for in 40 speed obviously and it does it make sense that they shouldn't call it something look I'm just saying it's very confusing yeah I mean I literally had like a dozen people i am in the ashram being like so what is it called okay but just to play devil's advocate we've complained on the show before earlier this week actually about the nomenclature of things like televisions that have a million different suffixes right and so you're saying that you want somewhere in the middle where they don't have a lot at the end but aren't just the ipad you want somewhere no problem just doing numbers I just have no problem with right okay or call the ipad 2012 or whatever you know what i mean like or the IP do like what Maddon doesn't call it iPad 12 right and I've had 13 it's fine it's just think about like this is you know I know the macbooks every Apple product basically refreshes every year I get that yeah and I understand that uh you know maybe with something like the macbook that's how it comes out though like when you like my macbook pro is the macbook pro october 08 really mean uh you buy accessories for these things it's going to get confusing because it's like oh well i have an ipad a new ipad it's the third one but it's the little bigger than the two where did you get it when right now but it's not the first one sir you know i mean it's a little silly yeah and i kind of wish they got their crap together in that department okay well names aside ty what did you think about the announcements yesterday were you impressed or were you looking for something else that didn't announce well I got it wrong actually I predicted that would be Seri which they didn't have right what did I also predict that there wasn't going to be 4g which there was why did you predict that why don't you think that was I think the 4g it's it's different in every country mmm obviously they want to release a global device and they've just found obviously I'm an Australian we just found out that they're not going to have a 4g device for Australia ah so because you know I think the one that's released he is operating on eight hundred and twelve hundred megahertz okay the one in Australia would need to operate on two thousand megahertz to actually be 4g in Australia so yeah I thought that they wouldn't go ahead usually they they get on they either create their own interfaces or their own sort of technologies like was it Thunderbolt or whatever that right or firewire they don't usually tack on to nascent technologies there are someone else's sure so I thought that they'd wait a bit longer before they released a 4g device gotcha my opinion 4G is not the biggest uh update to this thing what do you mean I display I can get 4G on my iPad 2 by using my Nexus as a hotspot so that's moot as far as I'm concerned okay any sort of wireless connectivity it's like all right great you're spent if you have a 4g cell phone you pay for that anyway you might as well pay for that hotspot feature and not worry about it uh it's the screen for sure the screen is the biggest deal that's ninety percent of what the ipad is you're looking at the thing constantly the screens the biggest deal right and it's a really big update I mean this is a huge deal twice the resolution you have almost official resolution it's something crazy like 2048 or something like that yeah it's really high so I think that's pretty cool um then of course you know I definitely have a problem with when they came out and said all right this thing's got more memory and more resolution than an Xbox and a ps3 in fact throw those consoles out the window because you don't need that crap anymore right you don't need to play gears of war you don't need to play metal gear solid you don't need to play killzone or any of that crap play the iPad the new iPad when does this thing come out it comes out next week doesn't it yeah we can actually pre-order it now so it's actually a good time to pick up all of these discarded consoles yeah because everyone running all the street yeah that is be at the landfill yeah exactly everyone's gonna put you know in their rubbish bin gonna throw it out the window because no one cares about consoles anymore because Apple said that if you wanna console you're an idiot right now then said I did I did like how they were comparing the specs of the ipad to the ex-boxer and we'd write about this yesterday right when the xbox is going on seven years old right I mean is that not like make like the Vita making fun of like the game boy color you know being like you come on CULTAN three colors you have you know I'm a quad core with eight billion colors Reza you know that that sort of came off cheap and I wrote something about yesterday how you know it's it's it's a little bit to sort of jab at the big home consoles when you're just a tablet that put that plays angry birds I mean they should really be comparing it the specs to the two itself right because there's been such big changes since the first generation like I think there was some rumors today that although they didn't announce it uh the new iPad has a gig of memory sure four times the amount of memory that came out with the first version and then something that wasn't a big deal great point but i think you know if you're gonna compare to something talk about how much better it is in the first one but then that might make people feel like garbage for still using the first one yeah i mean uh but that's what they should do instead of going after I mean and they used to do this sort of you know this like weird logic this sort of like spin they put on their little keynote not you know things when they used to say like oh the App Store has 55 thousand times the games that the that the 3ds and the power the d/s in the PSP have yeah it's like well yeah they were all made in a week and cost 99 cents yeah and the vast majority of them are trash but if you look at what's happened with the Vedas store and you know supposedly they're getting these smaller games in right but they're charging too much money for them I agree with that what is it a plants vs zombies is still 10 to 20 bucks too much money for that stuff and that's been up for what four years now for a while a long time and I'm not saying that Sony and Microsoft have the answers and are correct in this but would you agree in saying that it was a little bit of a stretch for up forget this phil schiller is that his name comes out he's like he just run out there he's like this this stuff's more powerful than your stew xbox but I mean you know before that all I had to compare to was this this is more powerful than the stuff that sent people to the moon right and i still use that lantronix says we used headsets on the mood for 40 years ago 43 years ago you a-holes okay you this freakin iPad better be quicker than an Xbox in a playstation 3 kidding me if it wasn't I'd slap you know all these guys in the face is ridiculous so you preorder one I mean they're already rabbi bought for it yep I bought all I bought no I'm not gonna buy this yeah i'm just not it does there's not in and look as much as it sounds like i'm hating on it which i definitely am and i'm just looking like i reach a tipping point where it's like okay you know I've I've the boiling point is here because there's just so much hype I have nothing to do but to just rebel against it you know it's you can't be that powerful and not face some sort of scrutiny right arm up dude when when the ipad 2 announcement here i was like oh man i'm getting this thing there's not that drive for the for this new ipad i'm just not gonna lie i'm gonna say what's on everyone's mind is that the design did not impress me and the improvements in the hardware just weren't there it looks exactly the same which I know is a really pedestrian way of looking at it and we should be you know like investigating more into the inside sure the software is what's really important and that's gonna get a big upgrade sure it's just my perspective I just want something new in my hands you know that's a big deal yes aim said they're treading water this year you know the iphone 4s didn't really deliver on any of its promises the ipad new ipad whatever we're calling it now has a bigger screen and that's pretty much it so it either they're going to come up with an iphone 5 in what a couple of months they work unless i guess like September or something so you know they really i think a lot of companies not just Apple but a lot of company so they took this year and last year off you know they didn't really innovate as right sure you know whether that's a global economy thing or you know maybe they've got something saved up maybe they didn't put Siri into iPhone or the new iPad because it's going to be in the next one it's going to be even more amazing I just think Siri is uh I mean I think series overrated as it is you know maybe tossing it in there just uh no I think the dictation thing is good because typing on iPads pretty miserable right right and then I think I iOS 5.1 got a japanese-language addition to Siri which is a very minor detail right but and I love how like that's what they started off yeah exactly brought you to sunny San Francisco yeah to tell you that the thing on the Japanese now right and we're speaking English writer who would benefit from the Japanese language edition could understand what you saying no freaking clue yet definitely weird are the iphoto stuff is cool yeah I can't you can't deny that it's cheap it works with every ipad if i'm not mistaken um so yeah I mean I think that's kind of awesome yeah but yeah chat rooms just like pumping in a xbox 360 specs now right and make the comparison it's like it's like if Sony and Microsoft came out and they were like oh we just heard that the ipad 3 is more powerful it's like them coming on being like our controllers have 15 times the button capability as I've you know they mean it's like the same stupid re i'm looking at this the original xbox 360 had dual cores 3.2 gigahertz 512 megabytes of ram i would think that the jump seven years later which to the ipad 3 would be a lot bigger this thing should have 40 gig yeah yeah exactly kidding me it's just it's just the freaking cheap hitman yeah you know it's looking I don't like that speak now I'm not saying Steve Jobs would have done it any differently but you don't know you don't know and I'm not going it's hard not to think like somebody asked me someone asked me this morning would it be called the new iPad if Steve Jobs still around I don't know no idea anyone know that we don't know did he like have the final stamp was like this is the ipad 2 well it's tough cuz you don't know where his influence ended and where it's sort of true and i don't think it's ended at all right you know but I had that think tank I don't know we were talking about maybe has like a huge vault just full of ideas it's it it's gonna be like to pack you know he's gonna still be releasing 10 years time that's ridiculous yeah yeah for sure new turtle necks coming out thank you you know please away for the suit we're not making love steve jobs where we r miss steve jobs as for sure um we got to take a break when we come back more with ty pendlebury and the ipad and calls and all this good stuff stick around the 404 isn't going anywhere so I guess neither should you we'll be back this is the 404 mr effers the show where we all sing songs hey 404 crew this is rich in lovely warm Cleveland and it's taken some time to enjoy one of Cleveland's many great non-flammable rivers here and it's it's a beautiful sight after a long day of work and you know just got me thinking and really re-evaluate a lot of ways how amazing this will look on the iPads new Retina display just below this nature crap under the water hey this is greg from new orleans and you're listening to the floor for will proudly waving or panty Apple freak flag yeah wherever you are crying in an apple ditch somewhere I I'm not gonna lie wonder what he thinks about all this no you do you or do you not care i just want to know how he would spin it positively yeah yeah you know what i mean i was up definitely he's definitely thinking that what we just watched a video a video voicemail from rich from cleveland he's the guy that won our iPad competition yeah I'm kind of was hoping he was just gonna take it and just throw it into the river yeah just like get rid of it right yeah there no I don't need this piece of crap anymore like a year old now it just gives it like a lofty love in two years lake there but it does make a good point he's like the retina display almost makes it look better than real life yeah who needs nature when you can just look at a screen right so yeah I mean let's I want to talk more about this like yeah yeah so like it's not very clear to me at one point our people just gonna be using the iPad to look at things through the camera right like that's not gonna be like boy that's not gonna happen I'm pretty sure your eye is better than that Raleigh wouldn't that would a good point during yesterday's live cast and that people are stick because the cameras in this is quite good now they're going to start taking pictures no only the stupid ipad may already be needs they do yeah and they are teenagers are always pretty funny when people are just holding up and I'm gonna say that oh my god it's I feel like only athletes do it at all-star games that's things like the only application for using an iPad as a camera have you seen how ridiculous somebody looks holding a book up and taking it's like ready smile you need basically the big we're looking at a photo that a very attractive woman is taking right I bed takes up an eighth of the freaking screen ridiculous it's like ready cheese say cheese easy news like I don't sound weird yeah I don't understand it you need sort of like the flash and you need the big cape yeah there you go they did 1885 like that that's ridiculous uh taking photos and videos with your fring and iPad I don't know people will continue to not do that I think I don't care how good the cameras like an SLR right I look at that and how much heavier that is in an iPad that's what people take photos with I get it you may be you know you're in the situation where you need to do it but if I have a mobile smartphone or an iPhone or whatever it is and I have an iPad why I want you know I'm just obviously taking you with my phone it's not even I'm gonna freakin if I'm holding my iPad and my phones in my bag I'm going into my bag and taking cuz it's less cumbersome yeah maybe the larger display though allows you to see more of what a game viewfinder taking one photo on my iPad 2 it is by accident right cuz I was like what's this button do yeah and that's it oops I'm sorry I just I don't get it I don't get it here it's a practical that's not practical now there's a lot of heat on today's show I'm just saying it's a great device I'm actually going to buy the second one instead probably instead of a laptop oh you're gonna buy the ipad 2 yeah cuz I don't you know I've got a work laptop sure I don't really need one to take two events or you know if I'm going somewhere business all i need is basically something i can browse on the couch with and i think and ipads perfect for that it is second ipad still just as good i think they lowered it a hundred bucks yesterday immediately following the keynote so that's even better i don't i wouldn't pay an extra hundred for that's the big news man that yeah that to me that's the big news if you don't have an ipad man it's it's to me it's tough convincing someone to spend that extra hundred bucks when that ipad 2 is uh you know is a hundred bucks even do you remember us having this conversation about me buying the ipad one when the two camera is the exact same brain right I hate apple I'm starting to really just like this come people don't there's there's you know the pots brewing a little bit yeah I think so you know I mean it's just how long can and we talk we act like they're on their way down to react well they're there you know against all the odds are at the highest don't level they never being ever bigger than any company niggas cool reason yeah yeah who would have thought they'd be down in the gutter now yeah so refurbished ipad 2 in on the apple store right now Wi-Fi 16 gigs 350 bucks that's not bad you should just get that just get it by right now my click internet pad there you go your internet pet has been ordered it'll arrive in two to four days it's pretty awesome I was thinking the other day do we still need those little red flags we did they come on you know when the postman puts something in your letterbox you need a little red flag to come up yeah I'm waiting for stuff this week and I wanted the little red flag to show me that I had we're in your actual mailbox yeah you know they have a high or whatever I still get real mouth not packages I waiting for I think there's a cultural disparity here I think in Australia that everyone has red flag we do but our red flags mean are telling the mailman that we have outgoing mail in the box no that's not really it sure it is I take it easy yes it goes for both the mailman puts it up when there's mail inside oh you put it up when the mailman comes to notify him of outgoing Richard pictures from Utah I'm talking about there's mail America ya know you pull the flag up to when you have a male male in there that you need to go out thank you what the hell is a Boeing way of opening them my mailbox every day because I expect mail every day right why why would the guy be like just let you know there's mail in here no that's not it doesn't work like that you right now that would be practical no what are you talking about the way dragon our new cembran to tell the mailman hey I'm really good for you Jim my current mail for the day in here right stick your old hand in there pull out what I'm trying to get out to the world trolling you right now extra mailbox in Australia just for packages because then you will need to notify if there's something in don't know how it works you know cuz there are no remote much say this again there's some quite remote parts of Australia so obviously you can't drive down for hours and go to the post office I don't know what they do a pitcher they have flags or something better oh okay I'm the most of my life I don't but there's these flags I understand that and and and when you live in an urban area you're not you don't have a mailbox like you do in suburbia right where it's just like a little mailbox on the sidewalk you flip little Fleck here it's like others mailbox in every corner you're gonna dump it in there right or you gonna walk to the post office yeah this that's the your and you're kidding right you're right you're messing with me what about the flag yeah I don't even have a flag of course no one has a fun I just have like a 15 knowing you live apart when you get before drilling every single day right so you flip the flag when you want an outgoing okay this guy's just pulling much in my chain um the chatroom asks what is male yeah back in the day I just have to lick the top of an envelope yeah that's just poof okay mail sucks man surely mail does stink let's go talk about a few other things not the iPad um this is cool the very popular simulation city game right that's what i call it simulation city it's coming back SimCity's coming back after like what a 10-year hiatus when did full commit 2005 something like that I don't even think it was giant evil it was that late I think well we're looking at the post on crave here it says nearly 10 years after the last major SimCity release which I would imagine was SimCity 4 right the fifth version of the iconic SimCity game is due out 2013 and features a large range of graphic and gameplay improvements over previous generations one major new feature is multiplayer support for up to 16 players that doesn't sound like a lot of fun multiplayer in SimCity know that horrible that's like a committee game yeah that just sounds like it's like sim council board it's like no you know it's on everything in triplicate I just don't bunch of stuff yeah the garden vote anyway these concept art they were looking at on the on the page here looks brilliant um I I mean you know SimCity's come a long way we first got a taste of it I I can't remember when it was must have been the late what late eighties was the first SimCity game and remember but I used to be a Sim City attic yes definitely the first multiplayer game that really people just lost their life not multiplayer just like leaning all in the app just just really really addicted to the gameplay and managing your city and making sure you you know it was logical for where the power lines were and residential and commercial and industrial and all these different sort of segments of your city and then once they went to like a 3d sort of thing in SimCity 4 I was like well for get it right it's over but I'm pretty psyched man I I feel like SimCity is due for a refresh arm and Maxis in EA you know are bringing it to us in 2013 I'm really looking forward to that tapped out game the simpsons which is essentially building springfield right we have that is it any good it's good um it's not as complicated as SimCity which obviously should not be it's on your iPad but it's good and if you're a Sim City fan and or obviously a Simpsons fan for sure it's a lot of fun yeah it's pretty cool Oh check it out well then check it out um so yeah simcity 2013 look for it well we'll post the story we have on crave in the show notes today other news uh is that Netflix might be coming out of your cable box and this is a interesting sort of story I don't really understand how that could possibly work but according to Reuters Netflix honcho hit Reed Hastings has been meeting with us cable bigwigs in hopes of injecting the company's streaming video service directly into your TV's cable box now I'm just trying to like look from the outside in on this one isn't that doesn't it defeat the purpose of what Netflix is as a separate entity al colleague David Katz my actually came up with a good point in that it would be a gimped version so essentially what a baby like a special net cast on you know what netflix on comcast something so be branded like that right and it would not have duplicate content right so all the stuff that they've got on video demand they wouldn't have so it's a branding exercise for netflix and obviously the whichever company they go for get some sort of kickback financially sure so to be for the people who don't want to buy a separate set top box basically they've got like a CRT or something still they've just got one cable box and then they get extra movies so it's win for them and it actually sounds like a good deal but of course the smart people would go out and buy a fifty-dollar roku box which you can connect right tht my body feels I think it still has a composite port so if you want to live you know in 1932 you can do that as well this is oh but yeah I mean that's I think it's actually a good thing it's a good branding exercise for them and then it actually might be like a gateway device and people actually go on by well the simple set-top box good point will be curated movies and TV shows absolutely dream right I you will be able to choose like you would on a normal netflix i think you would be able do you still have like a user interface you be able to pick but you will have the cut the library that you do on a normal for netflix I us something I'm still definitely just bitter about with Netflix is like the constantly changing library there's no it's not an archive anymore it's sort of like well these 50 movies are here for four weeks and you better watch now because you're not gonna be back I don't like that I kind of and I know it's you know a first-world problem of course but I really wish the every movie that ever hit Netflix was there and is there forever you mean because you're like all right well I know I'm always gonna watch back to the future two over and over again but I don't want to have it with like limited availability on this thing i'm paying books a month for my grad about netflix is that it assumes what I think I'll like or dislike about a movie right like the ratings that show up share stars I thought I always thought those were user ratings but I think that's just netflix this best guess about what i think will the movie will be like yeah I appreciate that I mean a little invasive to me like how and they're always very specific like you like dark comedies sit in my future with Jude Law yeah well that's very specific yeah maybe I do you know I don't like that I think if they actually charged a little bit more so you could have a library like other streaming services so dancer three or four dollars and then you could have back to the future for us all those sort of things i think you know i do think and I've said this before the netflix is actually to cheap and that's not a very popular opinion but no I think you know if they did my pitchfork rate actually charging more money then I would have more leeway with the studio's I could pay the studio's more money they'll be able to keep hold on to these catalog I agree you I hundred percent agree with you seriously I'm not I'm not messing around you're right it almost is too cheap and they can't afford these sort of premium luxuries that would definitely I think you know if I gotta pay 12 bucks is at eight bucks somebody up there more good same with and I mean that's another thing for Spotify as well as that they have a similar problem in that they are they're actually streaming full quality mp3's to your phone which you can actually archive now which I think why would you buy anything anymore right when you can just stream it and hold on your phone you you pay eight bucks or whatever it is to to Spotify and I think that's gotta change that will change all right well really insightful stuff from tied today that appreciate this is streaming media is my my bugbears I've your what your bugbear bite my bug bag is that mean like your bag I love to hide it okay all right thing that expression before that's why we bring you on cuz you don't have my bears in Australia no I'm drop bears that's another thing drop bears share what you have a drop in those terrified I was better drop down and if we can their case essentially they're like killer koalas oh kayla carrera they drop on tourists and and they have like poisoned la little poison knobs at the holiday this is just like a chupacabra is a real real this sounds like it's out of like a Napoleon Dynamite movie drop bears to is it really funny it was not bears up their poison fangs oh my god I can't even show some of these photos I don't want to see it switch I don't want to see him no thank you Oh drop bears are a lot scarier looking all ABARES I'm not looking at that yes you are this what is this do i got like Alf acid it's killa elf it's crazy rendering oh here's a drop bear loose oh my god meaner that koala has seen better yeah Jesus why it's like a koala mated with a vampire have you seen one of these things before oh look every Australian knows about the drop bear tourists don't like it I'm just so disseminating the information it's a myth like Congo with the aggressive gorillas are telling you it's hard rock days boo alright calls from the public time before we gotta head out of here I'm love 86 404 scenic do not switch do not switch horrible first call one of our Dominican friends wants to give me some advice or maybe cheer me up about my experience while I was down in his fine country wanted to say I like to show you guys are great listen to you for a while Jeff in the Dominican Republic if they give you a

here ginger beard and your stupid face yeah that's it sober drinking and you're saying you're sober drinking that's funny we had someone else call that uh taking a honeymoon in Punta Cana he's like I was drinking all these strawberry daiquiris and found out they were virgin shrubbery deck right dude you hear about this yeah stupid me Oh what an idiot our deli yeah um let's lucky to stop us it is awesome here's some more stuff of the iPad and then your touch bed hey guys is orange county from Ryan just three quick things Jeff really loved your post yesterday about the ipad versus the home console comparison really look down what I was feeling and thanks for that I'm a suggestion said that he touchpad use have gone down you should try putting them ice cream sandwich through signs in maan nine alpha p on yeah I did it last week it was great took a half an hour not in dual boot into web Louis and ice cream sandwich I'm a touchpad they're just some small issues I worked out on the forum are two dude you should do that so he's talking about what models at the cyanogen I think it's called Sanjana cyanogen nine just came out yeah it up online what the hell's that it's a way to root your eye your touchpad in order to put a to do yeah you know what i would do it with it is a amélie install Flipboard and that's something that I really wish that was on the touchpad do it man I mean ice cream sandwich on my Nexus is awesome yeah I love it okay do it I'll try it it'll be like a nice little project for me a report back everyone what's the worst I get up and you'll break your touchpad yeah i'll be out a hundred dollars Oh big of a deal you know that like that to me that's like disposable yeah I'm kidding it's not a lot of money but uh but yeah you should definitely try it here's a good idea about adding something called study mode to iOS 8 40 for this is Long Island from freshman and I just really wanted to emphasize what you guys were talking about before about reading books on the ipad I'm how there's like notifications everywhere yeah the thing when I use my iPhone and stuff for one studying because I should own airplane mode I don't know why Apple has made like a study move like I split on airplane mode I just tell everyone to go away I'm really homework I just want to listen to music I don't want to hear that Bob inches profile picture here that Julie texted me yeah hey what's up what are you doing i meani pizza no now I can just listen my music and just do what I need to but if they put it like a you know you know education mode it can leave on the internet so i can browse the web and look up information you know and you know let me just call you know a certain contact or just know he's not with me on this are you is it going to go to it don't let you to Wikipedia for example or no I think you've got the internet there that's that opens up a whole lot of just no rights what I just call it the ipad babysitter mode oh that's what he's asking for you know it's not like computers duh they don't have that function and you can still access all the same things just turn off aim turn off facebook yeah listen to me i'm not i think it should be disciplined dude i got to be mean on this guy i'm just saying you know like I bishop or imagined like I have a TV right in front of me like we have all this entertainment around the office we still get work done yeah I did I just think there should be a no I all the other crap whatever there should be a no notification mode yeah definitely especially for the book stuff I'm sorry man you cannot argue with me that it's cool getting popups while you're reading a book yeah there is just not cool it's why you shouldn't be reading books on here of course should be reading on your kindle ah we got a couple emails from Alessandro people like my dad and Wilson's grandma and sweet Lou would probably SQ hey son the new ipad 3g or is it 3g no data grandma its 4g see the confusion if you shorten ipad 3rd generation to ipad 3g then everyone there will be confused as to what technology capability they the ipad has i was just my teasing he's right but they weren't they weren't gonna call it throughout three they were going to call it HD that was the thing right in which i still think it should be called that even though the HD suffix is tired you know originally what was it seven 1024 x 768 the original that is HD right because it is it's it's 720p yeah yeah so I don't think HD was always a bad name for me I don't know I'm with I'm not saying it's good but at least it freaking tells the difference uh Colin from weehawken always a neighbor of mine this is what I said everyone gets one he says hey 44 crew and 09 my macbook pro battery had swollen to the point where I had to remove it really that could happen on a macbook your batter can swell that's insane uh it's so much of the point he couldn't press up on the trackpad have you ever heard it he's like very annoying I think it's more than annoying sounds dangerous I was going to buy a cheap replacement off ebay but he went to the fourteenth Street apple store to see if he could get a free or discounted one his macbook warranty was done and they were going to get him a new battery for 70 bucks rather than the list price of 120 the guy typed the return label in incorrectly and said his name was uh something else and he got a free battery and then the UH realize they made a mistake in the Apple Genius said I'll don't worry forget about it will just give it to you for free that's what I'm talking about like this it is like pro tip give them an ink ragni dance say it's wrong when you go to pay actually that happened to me ya like my my phone died yeah my old phone that i bought from australia and i actually went in but they actually read the serial number off wrong so it was under some other dude yeah um you know in it with an Australian number and I was like I don't want his phone to suddenly stop working because there's exchanged mine right I said and they gave me a free phone amazing judge but they don't care you wanna know why cuz they're stocksfield 500 ah this year I don't know ok so we got another email that's kind of contradicting this point it's from Barry he says I work at a genius bar in somewhere I don't want to blow them up I can confirm that it's no longer true everyone does not get a free pass at the genius bar while yes we waltzed yes we used to offer a free first time pass service model that turned out to be very inconvenience istant now we work on a fast and fair model of service where everybody gets the same answers in revel in resolution so well I think so but if they were looking for consistency it sounded like they already had it yeah you know in giving everyone one you know free pass right it isn't some we're doing that anymore I hoped I hope that's not the case because rich people to do applecare maybe is they're losing on money but did some bind it seemed to sort of feel like there's no incentive to getting out of here after i got it for free um we're talking about app hoarding yesterday dave says i am officially an appt hoarder i am currently at listen are you kidding me 4770 9ab stored on my hard drive in itunes hill bro you've got a problem that is way too many a plucked it I it's that that's crazy gonna go into kill mode uh I

that's still too many that's about 4,700 too many i think yeah anyway as long as you can do and you know I just I feel like it's like gambling people get into debt with this stuff I hope they're all free or 99 cents even though it says a lot of money that is up man that's crazy um oh and then yes you talking about bringing an ipad into an outhouse right how did you get that point of I that's
