it's Tuesday jun 26 2012 i'm jeff bakalar it's the 404 show there's just a new home for dinner throw me off and I'm Justin you yes you want like you already said and this is the show where it's rude to point it is I don't care how old you are rude to point speaking of pointing just enough were you someplace that you should have told us about over the weekend what are you yeah where are you or were you I was I was at Fort Tilden have you been there before it's a beach nope never been to beach right on the tip of Brooklyn kind of right by Coney Island ok I'm off Flatbush at what's so special about this point and it's beef I'll get to it if you'd let me uh anyway so the weird part about this Beach is that it's mostly families but then there's a separate part of the beach um kind of by dead horse Bay where it's nude right yeah nude beaches are pretty common in San Francisco so I'm used to this kind of thing but we but we parked by the part of the nude beach right yeah yeah it's weird because the new beach is kind of separated by a fishing like a lot of fishermen go to this part of the beach as well like appear so it's like oh yeah it's like a weird dichotomy of like fishermen on the pier and then also naked dudes for some reason it's not a lot of naked chicks like there were some topless women you know right but a lot of naked dudes fuel and then some naked fishermen to just like a combination of both worlds yeah make send this guy already have the rod right this is what I'm talking about gems yeah gems gems Peterson over here uh that's so funny that at one point it sort of just you know a nomination to the naked the nude naked fishermen I don't know why you forced me to tell you this story I just I'm kick you know I'm curious about nude beaches because I find it fascinating that some people regardless of how they look naked right and they're there within their right to do so at a nude beach when I was in Dominican Republic a couple months ago there was a lot of that did you go need nope did not you know it's never the people that you want to see you know I've shown all their bodies I saw a few in the dr that I was very happy with it was very happy with I was like yeah tip them did you go nude I did not go nude know how those too self-conscious I don't want you drive your friends no no we just kind of walked by the new people and gawked for a little bit behind us angle oh like seven year old yeah exactly giggled giggled I'd imagine that you saw a bunch of new people this weekend though I did I went to the gay pride parade here in New York hmm it was interesting there was a lot of interesting costumes and lack of costumes yeah what are you going as nothing oh we're just walking naked down know there's there's not any like complete nudity but there's like skimpy speedos and there's like topless ladies with like pasties over their rivals yeah once again we are an anti pasty show that's right all Pacey's must die it's just it doesn't make sense to me you're leaving nothing to the imagination with pasties on I mean it's a it's a pointless accessory as far as I'm concerned were there any dudes or women in fake police costumes like in Reno 911 yeah I saw a lot of that Michael Reno 911 what is it called you 911 sorry no sorry sorry is my mistake it's just that was very nice Strange Days innocent mistake it isn't mr. um Reno 911 that's good is that our next one that is just great I'd imagine be pretty confusing to walk up to the wrong cop at the bribery yeah well you can usually tell because it's usually like a leather Cop suit he had a legitimate emergency them and the handcuffs are furry yeah yeah uh what if you had a you go up to a real police officer yeah how'd you do right what kind of question is that no I'm saying what if you had a real emergency but you went up to the wrong cop that would bode the embarrass money and bed at the same time yeah one of those one of those things so it was a good time it's good yeah yeah I walked in the parade oh you didn't see a lot yeah so you only got to see one of it yeah can you tell us about the craziest thing you saw at pride I don't know well I don't know oh there while I was telling you before there was this a float with a just a pull and like pull dancers yeah topless women pole dancer what that was going anything you have with pasties right damn it wasn't even there in a mad well that's cool you got ya walking in this yeah so the gay pride parade isn't just for gay men it's for straight men it's very it's for everybody I think it's a celebration of human sexuality yes what is it right absolutely and that's what matters and everyone gets laid no I don't know is that how it works I don't know I got a ticket for that you had your hand stamped I was walking in the parade with the group of gay Mormons I was exciting that is how now how many are were people are in your group there there there were like 40 people in our group there were we had a group from DC come up and join us you nerd so that we merging with Jenny Wow mmm how many Mormon people are in the country do you know I thought I could have sworn I heard millions a few million yeah a few million yeah interesting i was i think in the whole world there's like 13 or 14 million wha really yeah are there more Jews or Mormons I don't know this is there I think Jews might have him by like a small boy they're mormon the mormon church is growing fast growing by leaps and bounds and i was watching something this morning that would talked about how like Mormonism is uh infiltrating every facet of of of pop culture it is yeah you know you got your book of mormon you got your mitt romney's and all the sort of stuff right it's interesting yeah yeah the book mormon on broadway have you seen it I have it's it's great I loved it you loved it's actually yeah cuz it's kind of like the story of my life no kind of yeah you you had a very fun elated yeah I exactly it's exaggerated of course it's it's like because it's about missionaries throw to a foreign country yeah to do their mission and you did that I did that where'd you go I went to Nicaragua Rilla so with it were they grateful for your services they were they were okay and it was yeah I was an overall good experience I'm sure that's interesting I'd we're learning a lot about actually today know all about the most I socks on this show ever ever since I've been here it's true Jim Peterson he's jealous as well yes Jim's volume baggage and my father before Jim's let's get into the stories of the day on this tuesday jun 26 facebook in the news again scumbag facebook strikes again yep apparently if you go into your profile and i did this this morning and this did affect me facebook has change your default email address to your facebook email address right you know the thing you've never used before in your entire life nor would you ever apparently if you go in and check it out so what I did was I I eliminated that and then I went and made my gmail one my default one yeah not only that it also by default or at least in my experience yep put the Facebook address on my timeline as well automatically makes it visible and even if you didn't have that privacy setting turned on before so we give the finger to facebook yep and we say hey man get out of my life give you enough information enough trends enough things to sell me let's maybe not change my email address you know what so I mean because I'm an advocate of the devil I wait that doesn't make because I'm gonna play devil's advocate I understand why Facebook did this right horse it's because they want they're trying to capitalize on lazy people that don't want to have to memorize another email address so they know that you could just use that handle that everyone shows like an April or something of this year remember that like two months ago they asked everyone to create their own vanity URL for facebook I did that years ago that they're using years ago right they're using that as your email address anyone can use like what's yours oh do i maybe i shouldn'ta mine is just you're just publicly available though it's like the one in ages yeah what do you mean whitepages yeah what do you mean whitepages what because your face that's offensive I know but I understand why they did this but as usual they should have let opal know they were gonna change right of course which again for the you know X amount of times stop doing this top changings up and not telling anybody yeah everything they do their privacy settings is always very confusing and deliberately confusing at times just become as transparent as you would want everyone else to be yeah um was gonna say oh I think I don't agree with you I don't think the reason they're doing this is the cash in on lazy people okay I don't think no one because of laziness switches email addresses you know I mean ok but what do you think they did it that way I think they're doing it because I think some of it has to do with that but it also has to do with the fact that that's the one thing Facebook has no grasp on nobody uses Facebook email if someone told you told you to email them at you know my name it at facebook.com/ you'd be like what the hell is wrong with you right it's like the equivalent of an AOL address it's weird it's it's crazy right so that's the one thing they have no influence on whatsoever and everything they've done leading up to this has not made their service more pervasive in terms of emails so why not do something sort of slimy like this right I don't know but that's what happened and so we encourage everyone check out your YouTube YouTube your facebook profile and see if it got changed on you it's pretty easy to just change its simple takes five secs implied it it's just annoying that you do you go there and you look and you're like what the hell yeah i didn't do that mm-hmm it's annoying yes annoying oh I'm doing the transition okay speaking of annoying uh where am I gonna go with this uh which store do you want to talk about next you're not very good at this justin no I want to Oh so yesterday we talked about newsroom the new show on HBO with Jeff Daniels yeah courage to everybody to go and check it out well guess what you can now watch it for free on YouTube on HBO's youtube channel right you can watch the entire full pilot of the newsroom I'm curious to hear what people have to does it have to say about it you can also watch it well okay so this is cool because HBO's never issued a free pilot online before not tonight as much as we wanted them to do it for Game of Thrones and stuff yeah it's going to be offered on HBO youtube like you said dailymotion tv.com on demand platforms like Hulu and iTunes as a podcast I think this is interesting because they're sort of using the immediate reaction to the show when I premiered on Sunday right I don't know if this was always in their in their game plan all along and how long do you think they're gonna be continuing to post these I just think it's just a pilot I just think it's going to be the first episode right um and you know obviously it's um it's the first episode was really good I thought oh you did say yes you like it I did I really liked it I saw my favorite scene was the one where the beginning the beginning where the the student asks Jeff Daniels character why America's the greatest country in the world and just goes off in like a very uh likes or Kenyan fashion oh yeah all these crazy statistics about how United States has the lowest one literacy rate it's a what doesn't the lowest ones alone would silly the only thing I find silly about watching an Aaron Sorkin show is that everyone is at the same level of intelligence in the program there's no like slackers there's no guys who don't get it at first everyone is at this same equivalent you know level of sophistication and it makes it that you know you just you just you just feel like you it's a science fiction world where nobody you know there's no varying intelligence is those dummies there's no dummies even the intern smart yeah even the intern was like brilliant yeah you know she's like 20 whatever it is you know I really like about this show is that it's set in the real world but in the recent past break like 2010 right and so I don't want you to give anything away and what everyone can watch this for free now so go out go out and watch it but point is that it basically takes a different spin on history that just happened yeah like the BP oil spill for example right like exactly the thing the first shows about yeah yeah what that's it's not a spoiler i was just like stop okay gets about this is a stern american there's other things that the first episode is about right it's really good uh Millie I the first comment on the story is who the f cares about this progressive propaganda BS show who said that in the jabber now in the first comment on the geek Oh system Oh No likes though yeah I would imagine a lot of stupid people are not gonna like this program um let's move along to the next story in our lovely run down today a little history lesson remember everyone's favorite mp3 player winamp it was seriously my favorite it took me a long time to finally transition over to iTunes yeah I I really hung on to that thing as long as I could the skinning the plug in the visualizes and I'm running if you could pull three off you're gonna be wheless is great my favorite feature on winamp 3 which was obviously the best version of it was twas uh Jay so if you just hit the j bois right it would bring up a search query that lets you type in any part of the song artist duration whatever you want it and it would bring up your son i don't think that itunes has something like that i mean you have to most certainly do what is the shortcut for it though uh you have a better just click on the search you could survive or its Apple I think it's Apple alt f but don't you have to be in the music tab of the left sidebar oh you can be clicked into playlists and then it will search your entire library and I think so dude that's what I'm talking about though is that Winnipeg winamp is also a very specific had very specific functionality not just designed to play music right let's back it up here back it up let's go back let's go back to nineteen ninety seven when when amp was created and ARS technica put up a really excellent very thorough history of winamp did you know that when amp is a acronym know what does it stand for uh windows advanced multimedia products okay so that's a part acronym yeah so it was created by the company knoll oft right it was one of the most famous of products that the company put out remember that do you remember what the mascot was the llama the llama the llama had a name though mike ma my mic the llama right how kind of a llamas name Michael this one aim name the lame name Richard yes pop quiz hotshot do you know what the motto of winamp was remember this motto yeah little NSFW but i'll let you say um I don't remember it was rid off in a voice like this Jeff tell me I win it i'm gonna it really kicks the llama's ass ding ding there you go that is right where's that come from though I don't know come true a wesley willis song who wesley willis what you remember that artist was like a homeless guy that made a bunch of crazy music yeah that guy I don't remember he was pretty big in the pop culture and like it anyway so he wesley willis was his independent recording artist and he was kind of homeless i think he had schizophrenia and he has this song called whip the llamas ass and that's where they took it from that's cool anyway so it was released to the world on April 21st 1997 and the reason why I took off so quickly is because prior to winamp coming out there was really no way to organize your digital music right it was wit there was windows media player which was poured yeah as real player which was worse it hit it the perfect time it was right when mp3s became so popular naps on Napster was huge and it just it was a great player that you know it sounded great it had an equalizer this is like one of the first ones that made it easy to use yup arm it was customizable is cuz it's a huge huge part of it they think that might have been the first sort of mainstream introduction of skinning and customization but they open source the designs of anyone create their own skin which was great yeah I remember I tried to do it oh really I'm not an artist I was terrible which one did you make the one that looks like a chalkboard yeah something stupid terrible terrible what I really liked about winamp was that it got out of the way really easily yeah so you could dock it into a corner infinitely resizable into thin line at that J function we talk about is easy to drag and drops always on till a list always on top only one playlist yeah but you could save them right as a PLU file which is really cool and that was something that didn't exist before winamp um also I didn't realize this before but even for its time when app the program was really small sufficiently small as a super small like the mac version today I forget which version they're up to but the mac version is only four point two megabytes large great that's compared to iTunes like over a hundred mega tunes is becoming such a behemoth yeah it's like the Titanic you know it's there was a time when you could run itunes on your computer and just keep it open right now it's like a liability you know like geez stop hogging all the resources yea big you know ever it's better at switch if you're sharing a playlist with other horrible iTunes is a beast they need to come out with itunes light I'm serious I great very very you know trim sort of streamlined version of itunes I would love that right how they're doing anymore who knows the hell they're doing anymore well um so that leads us to this part of the history lesson their downfall so um winamp went from about 15 million in 1999 2000 watt 15 million users in 1999 to 60 million users in 2001 so that was its heyday but then it got bought out by AOL in 1999 you're yawning no really just yawning anymore just yonder just wanted information geez okay let's speed this up um this is when they got bought out by AOL they converted they started working at a abandoned sweatshop office in potrero hill in San Francisco and that's when it all started going downhill and that's for two reasons one they didn't have a music subscription service and that was around the time when everyone started wanting to pay for mp3s um well that was the thing because everyone was using their illegally downloaded mp3s with this right it came you know after all will nap sure is gone how am I getting all those music I have a place to play up I don't have a place to buy it right exactly and then the other big was that when a wall acquired them they started requiring users to sign with their AOL accounts in order to subscribe to the billing service for their arm for yes for their music subscription program right and the problem there was that all the winamp users and you can attest to this were digital music files right so like people these are like hackers and people that loved skinning stuff sure tinkerers right and that doesn't really align well with the AOL structure those a Wells members are Luddites basically right I like people i just want like the easiest way to get onto the internet to opposite side types of you yeah so that was a little bit of a misalignment that combined with the original ipad coming out 2001 on ipod uh coming on 2001 really killed spill disaster yeah and then when m5 came out and it was bigger they lost that simple touch and that's eventually how whenever I and kicked the llamas ass no more the llama kicked its ass in the final battle and it's still available though yeah you can still get it and you can probably get the good ones too the old ones that were you know the versions three and four whatever right those are great see ya you won't take a nap before we continue just going to say that was a great little book report you did on and when and little history I like that we should like do that little a little you know profiling yes thing to do this fun okay chalkboard we'll take a break when we come back more 404 so stick around we'll take a little nap this is the 404 mr f'ers the show where we all sing song you Ivan Anthony's on San Francisco thank you looking to the 404 where you won't care of lemma I would've got a limit no you won't get him I wouldn't have got a little I don't know if he had even heard the original advertised just mocking you yeah I think he was just doing an impression of me maybe he looked up the video after now the video doesn't exist online a chance because I wanted to show you what the original is like pretty funny we're talking about would you call those local local access uh regional cable commercials right but jingles like really catchy no longer at aluminum got a lemon you knew it you don't know just reply me was singing the other day well you won't get a lemon I won't have got 11 from toyota of orange it's pretty good it's pretty funny guys think of any from your local hometown you Tom must have had some crazy cackles I thought I thought of 1 i'm not sure how local it is it was from hardees did you guys have hearties yeah I know what Hardy's it's like a fast food place but there was what because they had like their kids meal was called a silly sac new nickname for mitch is so stupid really yeah I'll take three silly sacks yeah but their song was it's a hearty silly sexy really sack really makes kids feel happy like that don't be silly it's just a sack it's a hearty silly sac but uh gems you that's why you're on the fire right now gems oh man gems McGee over here Oh silly sac 90 goodbye my eyes wow Marty's silly yeah you guys do have silly side no I didn't have a heart there I don't think there are any heart is on the east coast i don't think so i think they were bought out by Carl's jr. ok I know Carl's jr. there's no car Junior on these cosita no no we just got sonic that was a big deal yeah yeah Sonic's terrible you ever had that oh I I had sonic in vegas and even it was good I kiram the only fast food I will settle for is Taco Bell mmm is that stuff is just magic you're crazy that's a whole separate conversation no it's look Carl's jr. is great back in the box is incredible del taco on top of the taco yeah talk I read there was there's some other taco franchise out west called taco time ooh the other thing taco time in life and they're slow yes that's where I had at that outdoor mall enough salt lake city yeah the Gateway yeah um it their slogan so it's taco time and their slogan is isn't it always isn't it always time I think so pretty underhanded throw that sucks how can you say that about fast food chains I just like the other good ones I'd only favored wendy's I mean I just don't like it okay it's you know I and I know if you just like having a burger and fries isn't the worst thing you could possibly do yeah just don't like it though okay you know I don't really like there's something about taco bell though and I haven't had it in years just something about it that used to really do something to me probably on a chemical basis yeah yeah yeah but did you say whatever it did to me made me smile not like in Manhattan like the fast food here really sucks like the the main ones yeah McDonald's Burger King right it's just low quality well I mean you get what your pain ya know like seems like when I go home to visit my family and I go to you fast food I just better better yeah it's clear that you yeah here you have to worry about crazy people coming in throwing french fries at yeah I guess if that's you know one of your main pet peeve homeless people or something wrong yeah before we hit voicemails and calls from the public I want to talk about something in the news today orbitz the travel agency website came out this morning that they are in fact leading mac users towards more expensive prices meaning if you use a mac and you go on orbitz.com your excuse me results will be brought more expensive results will be fed to you before the cheaper alternatives well you're not getting they're not charging you more but they're leading you towards a more expensive product the reason they're doing this is because their research has shown that people who own mac computers spend more on vacation so and it's kind of not I don't blame them right I would I think this is smart and they should be doing it just sucks that it just came out because now the cats out of the bag they were they were basically saying that bolt because Windows Mac users are willing to pay twenty to thirty dollars a night more on hotels and PC users we're going to deliberately feed them more expensive options like the four and five-star hotels um it's smart it's very smart and and they're no different than Apple apples convince an entire generation of people that they need more than they do for computing I think they're making people by three thousand dollar Facebook machines and what's the problem if money's no object have them spent a little more on the orbits thing I think a lot of its psychological too but it's not like they're hiding the cheaper hotel offers no they're not all charging mat customers more hundred percent that's that's why they're able to do this and get away with it and they should continue to do I'm serious as a Mac user yourself you endorse this PR I endorse it i mean if you can't understand that you can you know filter your search returned by uh price right and you deserve to get ripped off guess so but i don't know if that's a direct correlation between people that spend more on computers vers it's a gel it's a general he is a general app it's it's just like a general sort of statement that they put into practice it's no different than google serving you uh ads based on what your gmail contains yeah you know but don't you think it's possible that maybe if someone spent less on a pc yeah cuter they would have more money to spend on a vacation that means that's silly there's a lot of different factors that go right either way i'm sure they did this for a reason and they continue to do it for a reason maybe was working out over a long enough period of time you get enough people the psychology of it all will start to pay off you know I mean yeah it's a shady though don't you think very shady what I mean come on it's it's just the way business works there's plenty of shady crap going on like we just talked about with Facebook and the email thing there's also too many companies name orbits by the way there's two and they're spelled differently there's three as far as I'm concerned okay what's four bits the travel recommendation at the end yeah there's orbits the gum right its orbit then there's orbit that weird drink with all the like speckles in it do you know I'm talking about there's a like a sound like a Snapple orbit trust me maybe you remember these look bring him up pick him up where it is orbits with a Z the drink with balls in it is that their motto yeah I know um yeah I never seen that very cool I think they're popular in mid-2000 I didn't really it was like a very futuristic drink to be having right um what are the balls in it just the same stuff in a lava lamps I think guaranteed to give me just cancer oh yeah I don't I don't I didn't realize they were spelled the same way as the travel site yeah it's funny isn't orbit drink those balls mmm I don't know what was their second the drink of balls in it yeah orbits there's balls in it balls equal better flavor balls okay I'm serious you could you know so but you understand where I'm coming from when I say that the Mac purchasing mentality yes so it buys one of those new MacBook Pros with the retina display right they probably have more money and uses it to like you know check their email and go on facebook yeah they should probably pay a thousand bucks more on their next vacation also because they can because they can't okay you know and there you know seemingly silly let's get two calls from the public that I'm to show the love 86 for Xena yesterday we're talking about people who had never signed up for facebook and we got a bunch of calls but people who in fact themselves had never signed up so here's why hey for four guys it's will from Atlanta just calling in about the facebook argument I guess I'm not on Facebook and I am just completely against ever signing up maybe it's my punk mentality I don't know it's a little too cool so I just can't be a part of it i don't know but really what it comes down to is I just never signed up and when my 60 year old uncle was calling me what you're not on Facebook you need to be on facebook I didn't at that point I'm like now no way in hell you want to see pictures of my kid go follow my wife there's no way no way I just I really don't want psycho ex girlfriends finding me because they will and I just I'm a little more private you like you know my I guess my perspective here so yeah talk to you later bye alright that i do man I do none of the people I know who are not on Facebook have that explanation yeah that was the first good one I've ever heard I'm trying to think about if my life has been enriched significantly by the existence of facebook do you think you would something bad would have happened to you had you not had a face no count no yeah my life is neither building anything nor yours it worse yeah yeah exactly it's just enough to keep your profile alive yeah yeah I don't know what it is I don't love it you know it's a way to kill boredom yeah that's really all it is but it's only this is lacking of that on the internet there's plenty of sites and you don't have to share every single detail in every photo of your life yeah like some people do yeah naughty private if you want to for sure you can be totally private and totally closed off which is fine alright one more call about this Chicago from Eric there's one's counting on your facebook discussion yesterday oh one of those guys it doesn't have Facebook and I do the same thing that we used to do before Facebook whenever I need know something get a call or text or my good friends having a baby i found out before everybody on facebook was simply a text so you know I think you guys are way over eighteen the facebook crap I'm to tell you how many canvassing people just send they're glued to each other and moving craft and bunch of that crap all right this is gonna duvall van to get off my lawn I feel like um so he's not wrong though um there's nothing wrong with you know actually calling somebody but there's also time when people used to say what are you not writing letters for and stuff like that right um yeah I don't know everyone's got their own prerogative i guess going on their prerogative what do you think um I'm look i mean i use facebook for very minimal tasks during the day but there's something there's no news that I've missed out on because i have not been on facebook all day long right yeah uh I'm telling you the one the one thing that's sorry started to really nag me I guess is my mom being office okay well your mom is on Facebook cut room she hasn't added me yet cuz i don't know we don't care love my life's doing I don't know what she doesn't face but I know she's hearing this now and I'm sorry I'm just I'm being totally honest yeah so you know like she'll chill call me and she'll say did you see that on facebook and I'm just like your mom has every right as you to be on facebook why should she be I'm not cheating friends I am NOT saying that what are you putting words in my mouth I'm not saying that she doesn't deserve to be on facebook anyone in the world can be on facebook yeah but I just I don't want to talk about Facebook outside of Facebook do you really mean talk about if you should tell your mom that then you're you just did I think I just did is she listening right now I'm in trouble hey Terrance in the charms like she added me maternal in Mexico hey Justin hey Jeff this is Molly from Santa Cory you wanted to know how to tap shoes and I met up well he told me he was going to be on Oahu so I made some plane reservations and we met up we had a wonderful time and talked all about the show I guess this proves that the fluorophore brings friends together thanks guys Wow in addition to tearing people apart it does in fact bring people together Cory bought a plane ticket

really is so mature yeah we have not out of the room also I'll say that Fifty Shades of Grey is not a good book I'm not recommending it to anybody in terms of reading and writing quality is just from its Jack Barrymore it's like a 12th grade reading level first of all don't knock don't knock book because of their reading level why not because that's silly yeah you can be a great writer no not great right out of level beyond you know I had a 12th grader but this wasn't a 12th way to their wrote the book I'm just saying you're blaming the book because is it what you said because it's a 12th grade am on that's not fair I why not because the giver was what like fifth grade maybe they'll know book sounds like the author had a thesaurus next to her maybe they did the word for good another word for going to use nice three thousand times yeah alright so it's another word for throbbing member is that like the giver for example is technically children's book writer Lois Lowry wrote that I think I like a 12 13 year old I don't know what the reading level is I just a lollipop yeah it's like a young adult book great it's great and does it read like you should be 4 12 year olds this one does I'm noticing ready player one I'm I went back in like read a couple parts yeah sort of feels like it like maybe the writing isn't spectacular wait you ups are you read parts of what I went back and read some parts of ready player one oh yeah ernest cline but it's still a great book and i definitely recommend it but it's not at i'm sure it's a better i'm sure it's written better than 50 she's
