we're gonna be talking about zito the robot yes cargo robot Bridger had a chance to check it out we'll get her impressions from her uh we were also talking about yahoo hack revelations of who was involved with the second biggest hack not the not the big one was it you it wasn't me here we go spoiler it wasn't me and then we'll lastly debate the merits of a matrix reboot do we want one I as says yes I say no we'll see pretty words my mouth spend the whole time of just doing that like Trinity pose yeah not the karate kid you doing we actually ran out of budget for money for that special effects Oh what time here moving in the chair all right so uh I gotta wrangle you guys it let's uh let's do that let's do the podcast will be back in three minutes 59 seconds I've you have any questions leave in the comments section and Brian will get to them all right here we go set the recording in three two welcome to the 359 where we talked about top tech news of the day don't have a crap you want to throw him I'm Roger Cheng I'm I as the wolf actor and with us is special guest Bridget Carey what up guys yeah she got she got to hang out with cheetah the robot robots Gina is a personal cargo robot able to carry 40 pounds of stuff inside it's two-foot tall orb shaped body yeah it's kind of like the size of a bb8 sort of kind of is it really but not as friendly and also it's not like you know not as cute well well well it's it's cute for a robot that has no face no arms and doesn't talk to you but okay alright well look so it we're used to at this point robot vacuum cleaners rumbas is this something that we're actually gonna realistically use on regular basis have robot helpers follow us around and carry our stuff well it it it's the technologies out there what they see it as right now first they're gonna go to the business side of things may be a nurse in a hospital is gonna be having one of these follow her or him around to be able to have their supplies what if you went to a hospital or a hotel and and you know so different kind of business enterprise things and then they'll going to put it out in two years to consumers like us maybe grandma and grandpa needs some help at home Oh carrying groceries home you know if they live near by the store or maybe you want to carry your heavy textbooks to class or maybe you just want a cooler for your tailgate to be following you everywhere you go not a question God that would be us you're walking around the streets of New York with this thing and this is very low there's no flag or anything where people running into this or not okay people were going between me and the robot see now to describe it but basically it kind of trails you and I had to wear this this belt yeah it looked like a stormtrooper it was like a spaceman fanny pack yeah it wasn't sexy but that's because this is a prototype they say later on he won't have something so huge you might just clip it on you but I had cameras around me it had its own cameras and it's merging all that together to know where I'm going to not run into me I turn a corner it knows it turned a corner and a small walks between us it's not going to run into somebody so it's pretty smart in that sense that said people were like what is that and and they're like it's a car girl robot okay what's new york people would accept that right like it's just weird so yeah sure uh and it's got a fingerprint sensor but like what stops people from just running off with this right right okay so um this is to back up a second it's made by the same company that makes Vespa scooters so they're thinking this in the same way you would think of you know having a scooter parked outside the grocery store they want to have it so you'll have the parked out there alarms will go off if someone tries to mess with it it's going to be about 50 pounds it's a little cumbersome you know but if someone does try to roll away with it you know there's a fingerprint scan a scanner to lock it that doesn't mean you can't still bust into it it's just like you could still probably still scooter if you really wanted to so it's that kind of mindset where it's cumbersome they have alarms but you know I guess anything's possible if it wants really steal it all right well next up the Justice Department is ready to hand out indictments for the 2014 hack of Yahoo that left 500 million accounts exposed turns out Russian criminals and spies were involved I as thoughts well there's no extradition deal with Russia so you can blame anybody you did it it doesn't matter if they either found guilty they're not coming over unless they're crazy but why they were going to go on vacation to America while we're under these charges well I mean look that said yahoo did hint at that these were state-sponsored attacks we finally get confirmation i'll use from the Justice Department allegedly is relegated you that that Russia was involved with this and just keep in mind this this is unrelated to the other attack that Yahoo suffered that lost a billion account so that was the world's largest arese largest attack this is history second largest attack all right lastly are you ready for a matrix reboot warner brothers are looking to reboot the sci-fi classic with Michael B Jordan of Creed Fame supposedly lined up as the next neo and next star is this too soon it's a huge rumor by the way it's not confirmed yet right police say they say it's in development but it's very early days just keep in mind there is no script just like there is no spoon so don't usually how the shoot movies know it is anyways right well when it comes to this kind of thing they might want to take this through you know it may be reloading the matrix was an inevitability all right I got a pocketful these I can just keep them coming all rights more of these stories check us out on cnet I'm Roger Cheng a Maya sector and I'm Richard Gary thanks for listening and the matrix really really really really me really you should have heard my script today I just kept going with it was great I even had a cookie i ate at the end and I just wide with the reboots do we know it's gonna be a movie series again they don't we don't know if it's remaking or this in the universe or I have made that point that since it's a really computer program that a reboot can literally funny could actually literally be just a reboot a--they but the enneagram but the universe might remain with the promise that like if people wanted to be out that can be out said the architect to the Oracle on the bench no you got me I I watched big we yet read it just now again cuz it's like yeah it's been years well I remember I watched that third movie I just thrown on my back I've watched it from the floor and I'm like this is awful why is this getting worse like I've had a lot of pain imitating worse of my watching the third matrix well I mean that's I mean I'm actually I'm fine with them rebooting boats the second two movies if they just kept that first one intact cuz I'm like I'm a big fan of the original first ones good the fish was great and you know then and then it just becomes this Hollywood overblow universe creating mess with the first or the next two movies so but they want to reboot those that's fine there hold it I mean Michael B Jordan is an incredible actor I'd be curious to see where you would play catteries actually that would be awesome when I know he's up like you and just actually plank it's a movie about the making of the matrix yeah starring Michael B Jordan as canario like I can act he can't believe this man whoa uh any questions from the maybe it's a young morphine no no nothing nothing yet yeah Oracle that's what he is mmm when were they gonna take this though like they're gonna like spin it into some kind of I don't know I'm just interested to see what their ain't cuz you know in 99 right that's when the first one came 99 it was all about like we're right into the new Internet age and kind of not the new Internet age but it was really stunned to become more prominent idea that things were connected still is still a novel idea and now we're way past that well you don't need to have it set here it's their world in the computers and maybe in that world isn't this world yeah that was already done two and it was called reboots okay yeah I guess I don't know I mean that maybe it has been too long but the animatrix was was good i don't want to see it remade at all i'd rather just see it be a side story they can't remake something I cuz i would if they were to make another matrix movie i wouldn't mind if they expanded the universe that would be fine to me but yeah rebooting it yeah they did I mean they did the what was it the was at a prequel or something was gonna live the last fun of the Osiris or something that was that part of the animatrix and all that yeah yes that was like I think that was like the long video in the animatrix series kinda like six or something we were talking the video game with Jada Pinkett Smith I mean that was a side story in you know adding to them what wasn't in the movie like yeah there's a lot to be done on coming with that you don't need to you know spoon feed us neo all over and don't bring back Colonel Sanders I'm still curious about landline phone for what it's worth he was still my favorite part of that third movie really just not saying wait what how was your favorite part at their movie that's not an insult well what's even in dunno he was the last there's like a hundred Smith's oh you have to have Smith agents man I mean that Ben baller the mr. Anderson that that's like an autonomous thought that like it's a hive mind you know that that will always exist the agent smith character will always exist yeah sure but i don't think that you go we things coming back after feelings would be really bad like tie ends like oh there's a mess on alexa device and that's how you get into the matrix or like how are they gonna i could just imagine that world was so green and and bear in 99 this thing of all the corporate sponsorship of your samsung phone versus though they did have nokia phones and I mean there's everyone had a nokia phone true at the time yeah then it's gonna be a samsung phone it'll inevitably be it they'll wear snapchat spectacle that's how we watch you instead of the sunglasses that server some regular so that's how they connect with each other now it's spectacles oh my god give me a hard line not gonna need a hardliner good my senses uh thanks everybody for joining us in the post show and we ramble on word i'm usually we do have to cut it short today because meeting haribol schedule today stuff but we'll be back tomorrow we will um we have an announcement to make though we do we do oh we're coming up on the big 200th episode yeah and if we're all ready to celebrate we have an idea we want to reach out long story short we have an advantageous fan who is joined us many times in the in the chat he goes by the name christian and he is coined our mantra as it were for the show I in 194 episodes I have counted no less than at least 13 times he has quoted this exact phrase in the show in the comment and the chat I want to punch Roger Cheng in the face yep there you go so what I'm going to do what we're going to do is in the description below after the show publishes you'll be able to finally punch Roger check find a link to a high-res image of Roger we want you not just Christian anybody to go and take that image and do whatever you want with it you go whoa let's let's say baby or whatever yeah let's in the realm of putt we want to see how you would punch Roger check in the face if you print it off put it on a punching bag if you make a little animation we want to see a dark ya Dartz it that's not really punch though yeah I want to see a punch I want to see how you would punch Roger Cheng in the face yeah I do come in the face yes yeah totally that's a power punch but that'll be our little celebration for somehow getting through 200 episodes of this crap and but before the end of next week is going to be our deadline for you just for funsies make the video send it to us i'll put my email in the description send it along if we like it we'll put it in the show maybe we'll send you a t-shirt or something but before the end of next promises Polly we just want to see how you'd punch right in the face so thanks everybody for joining us so long yeah and we got to wrap it up relation yeah thanks for again sticking with us for this long if you liked anything you saw or heard here check us out on cnet our podcasts also available on itunes tune in stitcher SoundCloud feedburner and google play music see you all tomorrow
