on today's show amazon announced a new surprise product called echo but will you use it jimmy kimmel found a way to host two different shows at the same time on different sides of the United States no planes involved that's crazy to it also a high-tech ballet shoe might pave the way for better high-performance athletes okay but really Jimmy Kimmel on both coasts with a hologram in in the conservatory with a candlestick it's tomorrow daily greetings citizens of the internet welcome to tomorrow daily the best geek talk show in the known universe I got a clue referencing yeah that's exciting professor Mustard Colonel Colonel Mustard professor plum our Clues on my favorite games as a kid so I'm your host Ashley skeletron amis always kill anonymous that's a really boring game as a kid oh I loved it I love logic that's right you were yeah you're as awareness super duper nerdy in like a really great way a super weird kid um alright so we're just gonna jump right in because this has been a really weird kind of day for technology but in a good way like just weird so let's hit the headlines so this morning amazon announced a surprise product that nobody was really expecting kind of came out of nowhere called echo and I mean we've seen Kindle Fire we've seen their tablets their fire phone which didn't sell very well but now we're seeing this sort of new product which I find terribly fascinating and I'm dying to know if you guys are interested in this this is echo and and if you're just listening it is what looks like a tube in a Pringles can it looks like a Pringles can and it's actually about the size of a Pringles can its nine and a half almost nine and a half inches tall it is a voice-activated cloud-connected speaker woohoo so it's a 360-degree speaker which is cool listen music on it could push music from your phone to the device but the real cool thing about echo is as I mentioned it is cloud connected and voice activated so if you use the word Alexa it alerts the echo to the fact that you were talking to it and it will answer questions for you do things for you that you would request so for example in this video we see many different use cases of this family the guy is like hey you know the alarm goes off and he says it's Saturday and then she does Alexa what day is it and she says it's Thursday so till then he gets up so here's the the dad and the family pushing music over to the to the device but you can ask it a bunch of questions you can ask it I in the video they ask oh how do you spell cantaloupe Alexa you can do Wikipedia entries I know he asks how tall is Mount ever in this video music streaming shopping list so if you say add this to my shopping list echo will add that to your shopping list which is pretty cool it's it's not out yet I but will be very soon it's a hundred ninety-nine bucks to buy but if you're a prime member and here's the crazy thing nope you're a prime member yes you had a hundred dollars off you get it for dining dollars 99 bucks you can but you it's invitation only to buy it so you have to request an invitation to buy it they want to see I guarantee this as a test bed it's like how popular it's gonna be people will buy how many people by Georgia I think after the I think they got a little too confident with the fire phone and it didn't really sell that well so now I think they're taking a more conservative approach to getting these products out but yeah so 99 bucks for Prime members and really like for a prime member this is sort of the this is sort of a thing that you might want and I foresee in the future and this is my prediction that if this sells very well we are going to see the ability to say Alexa ship me wreck-it Ralph on blu-ray and then it automatically orders it from your Amazon account ships into your house like you don't have to even deal with amazon oh that's dangerous it is very dangerous or or maybe it's just add blah blah to my cart and then the next time you open it on your phone you can then check out this is the coolest tech that Amazon's had since like what the kindle fire or whatever right yeah i think this is really interesting I I know that a lot of people will probably be nervous though about the fact that it's always listening so it's always listening for you to activate it like so it still has to be listening even though you haven't activated it with the term Alexa but it's very similar to like Siri google now like okay Google yeah it's ok Google but it's always listening for that ok Google so that's I think that's the thing that people are still may be regular consumers might be a little nervous about I do like conspiracy theorists yes we have to get ready hey Alexis listening to you like Alexa shipped me at tin foil hat make a tin foil hat um fluoride in the water come on it's I mean it's a trade awesome $100 hundred bucks so that's 10 I thought it was really fascinating I think this really competes with a lot of the the little hundred dollars sort of speakers that you see definitely yeah there's I'd like to hear the sound test sure yeah and it's three but it's 350 or 360 degree sound and you're going to be able to also use streaming services they have a few streaming services like iHeartRadio signed up for this so you can say like subs you know Alexa play rock music is what they do in the video and then she just starts playing Rockies cool so that's kind of neat 100 bucks yeah back secure if your Prime member I mean here's the thing if you're not a prime member what is it it's like 100 bucks now to be a prime member so you pay that you'd pay full price but you get a free prime membership you should be a prime number anyway yeah after night when you're born they give you a prime member that's pretty true yeah I think now if you're born in an Amazon Fulfillment facility you get a free lifetime sometimes you get dry under there yeah sometimes people just have babies in there it's weird they don't ever let them out ah tell me about Jimmy Kimmel okay so some really cool tech was used on Jimmy Kimmel Live and basically it was hologram have you seen that Tupac hologram and who hasn't seen Tupac as a hologram yeah but they went they took it to the next level because not only did the first level was they projected him to Nashville okay for this is Nashville yes oh look there is he can popped up like magic he's uploaded he's just it's just him standing and he looks it looks perfect at this was at the cma theater um and he even brought on Guillermo his sidekick well you gotta have a Guillermo as a sidekick so this is while he's hosting his live show here in Los Angeles here on channels and then they says in Nashville and then during his show later on his show they projected some they projected a band that was at CMA to his theater that as well as crazy Musgraves where he interviewed her on stage see here's his stage in Los Angeles and all the other people were in Nashville that's the outdoor stage yes Andy the other way this is all done by hologram USA there look oh whoa look there's Kacey Musgraves all her legs um so much legs so yeah so this is this I love hologram technology they've done it with the gorillas at i think it was american music awards it's always really fun obviously they're goofing around with it in this video but there's they want to do some some interesting things they want to get dead celebrities in music and stuff like that protect them onto stage for concerts for like 90 minute concerts I'd like to lock I feel like I heard about this when they were saying something about wanting to get the rights as hologram us a company one of the rights like Frank Sinatra and stuff and they wanted to do these like sort of specials where they were like 90 minute sort of things that people could either watch or like they could attend that would be like like Elvis and stuff that's crazy I'm so skeptical skeptical of all I'm so skeptical if I would do that I don't know if you guys are watching in the comments would you do that and who would it be for no that's that's that is in fact the hashtag of the day it is hashtag TD dead Hollow yeah and this question is what dead celebrity would you want to see resurrected via hologram who would it be for me oh gosh um I would say well it's really hard I think I'd want to see the Beatles performing but with a live Paul McCartney and Ringo but then you have George Harrison yeah I mine was also mine was also Beatles or Jimi Hendrix Oh Hendrix or uh yeah just anybody from that era on it Jim Crow she ever see Joe Pesci wow that's that's a really weird that's a crazy reference I like they pulled that one out Janis Joplin that's well that's a good one she's going crazy oh this Elvis would be good there's like so many really great oh you could see you watch you know there are there a little chains you could see you can see oh just not disturbed what's the 10 drowning pool's drowning pool we could bring back drying pull you guys they can perform that one song and they just lime we could bring back sublime a blind you're gonna have Roman yeah Oh nirvana oh we could see we could finally have a real David role would be on the drums yeah well I mean they still at pat's mirin and Chris Chris Nova see like they're so around they're playing with food fighters they're coming out again Kirko just gotta have made Kurt back that's really awesome that's really cool so that's your hashtag of the day hashtag TD dead Hollow she's your head later she did I say Jim could I liked hey I had a clue reference so now we're even okay all right our third story today is I found very interesting I don't necessarily go to the ballet very often but I saw this video and I thought it was pretty neat this is I know it is a shame I'm so uncultured this is called eat race and so here is a ballerina and she's putting on some point shoes and this this technology allows the dancer to track their movements through visual translation so what's happening is it is it works with lily pad Arduino technology so this video that they made is a little bit more of an artistic sort of representation of what you would be seeing but you can see in the video like this the swoops of like her movement so what it does is it uses Arduino you attach it to the pointe shoes so here's the here's the technology where it's in the shoe already or use your own shoes I believe these ones are I think there are costs either custom-made or like the the ribbon is custom-made like so it's sewn in like you can't just like pop it on there but it is generally I would imagine you could convert a pair of pointe shoes to these so it sends that data as the dancer moves around it tracks pressure and movement and then translates that data into pictures and then the dancer can export that image as a video those images as a video so you can see exactly where your feet are your positioning where you're putting your weight things like that for me I saw this and I thought that it would be really awesome for athletes if anything that involves very intricate footwork this would be a really cool thing to sort of find out like hey like for example I had ACL surgery when I was 16 I blew out my ACL because I wasn't landing on both feet at the same time and for me like I would have loved to have known I was that I was doing that so that I could have stopped doing that but the thing is is like this is really cool and for me it there are a lot of doors that could open for professional athletes dancers people who are learning to dance so maybe it's like oh hey like here's a comparison of your Foxtrot or whatever to a professional dancers Foxtrot and you can see where your mistakes are what's different about their steps versus yours so I just thought that was really neat yeah perfect your your craft yeah perfed k leavin finally perfect your electric slide I got that in the moonwalk so down again I gotta get that I go get that good yeah oh and uh Joe oh who doesn't love my repertoire is really well that's broad that's pretty broad that's pretty big I'm all over the men good yeah but yeah so that's our third news story we will be right back we're going to take a quick break we'll be right back with another round of into it having to do with this this delightful little friend here and and then of course your user feedback and our phone tog refer the day so don't look away it's tomorrow daily welcome back welcome back to the show it's tomorrow daily every week on Thursday before we release you out into the world to be miscreants or whatever it is that you're doing they love being this currency yeah I mean I guess we did too to be fair um but every week before we do that we like to tell you guys what we as individuals are obsessing about and so this is into it okay audience what do you what are you into this week okay what can people check out this is an oldie but it's a goodie and I've known about it since YouTube I really like DIY channels and i really like channels where people show you how to do things for less than I like that that are like you know a oh look I want to bust through a wall but I'm not I don't you know I don't have Hollywood budget right this is called Indy mogul now it is now a dead Channel but they have a back catalogue that goes for like three years forever and they basically teach you as a novice filmmaker an indie filmmaker how to do some stuff that you couldn't otherwise do so you teach you how to use like pipes or you know specific lenses and just basically really anything they just got to make props they teach you how to use your camera better just a ton of stuff anything you would want to do with special effects horror films again like the the busts through the wall but one of my favorite segments that they do is they're like okay so let's say we want to build like a laser gun like a prop laser gun they have this this wheel and it's like a challenge thing they spin it and it lands on a specific price la prices alone so I'll be like five dollars one hundred dollars and attributes immedi but they never haha bankruptcy they spin it and then it'll land on purpose to save five dollars and they have to build it for five dollars and they always do it so it just shows you that with any budget you could build something so it's a really it's a really positive channel engineering your new stuff you can just thought you can go on there and search for a specific type thing like I did the other day I did like steady mounts yeah I looked that up and then I looked up different lenses make sure you got to make a lens that like instead of a telescopic lens they they taught you how to make one from scratch oh wow it's really cool I oh I want to go check that out it's the boat now but it was bill 2013 but it's really cool they've done practically everything at this point so I really like that yeah check it out yeah it's I love DIY stuff so that is pretty on stuff okay so your turn obviously you guys I'm excited I've got my murloc I'm ready kales dropping his phone is an item mad guys it's time for blizzcon 2014 I'm not messing around anymore okay so it's at the anaheim convention center i'm going i bought my ticket i sigh i bought my ticket i paid my money i'm going to blizzcon as an attendee I don't even have a press badge I just go cuz im a nerd what oh cuz im a nerd and no I'm really excited there's gonna be obviously diablo 3 is gonna be their heroes of the storm hearthstone my favorite okay my favorite part a blizzcon those cost you the cosplay is amazing that's always a favorite of mine they got a contest and it's always amaze they do and it lasts for like three hours that's the crazy thing is it lasts forever and they have to do like dances and stuff like that people stop doing it oh my god they'd stop doing the dancing because because I was there um I was there at the year yeah this is my murloc hat I was there the year that the kid came out to do the undead like headbanger dance and he broke his leg on stage like he was jumping up and down and just like snapped his leg like obviously to not get enough calcium what a new super noob level 1 undead warlock obviously there's not always something cool the company broke is like so they stopped doing the dance competition but they still do the cosplay and it's still ridiculously good and they also stopped doing the voiceover the voice' likes where people would come out and do quotes like and they pretend to be a character because everybody came out trying to do like you know like four different characters and then and the other thing was is it was really boring and it took like an hour to get through everybody and everybody just over it yeah but it should be really fun Nerdist apparently is like taking over like they're they're doing a bunch of stuff I think Chris Hardwick is the one hosting the costume contest this year which is pretty awesome oh yeah nice that'll be entertaining yeah that'll be really fun and then add the bikes everywhere I know he didn't notice and not as a hologram which is unbelievable um but no my favorite thing about blizzcon is always two things one the heroic raids because you always get to see raids that you're never going to see otherwise they always bring out the best Oh top to the top alliance and horde raid guild in the world like I think last year was method and I don't remember the name of the other one and then they it's like a it's competition they got to get through all five losses five heroic raid bosses 25-man 40 grade so it's pretty fun i love watching it and then the other thing that i really like watching is the starcraft two finals which is super intense yeah I I have no idea what's going on because I can't think that fast gosh it is hardcore like those guys are crazy good at starcraft and i've played starcraft and i enjoy it but i can't play it like that yeah no it's unreal have to be your but i love watching it I love watching and I love the the play-by-play commentary like that's my super bowl like that's the sports event that I like to see every year so that's I'm really excited and also metallic is performing Metallica I'm excited about that sale they put on a great show there's always really good concerts at that blizzcon really really good except for last year was blank what I do too but before those it Tenacious D and Foo Fighters like Ozzy played one year blink-182 yeah I was blink I didn't stay for that I sia mediately went out and actually no I spent time i think i was playing um i think i was playing Reaper souls I was I stayed in and just got in line and got to play all the games that I had missed I don't have anything particularly gift link Oni to just doesn't make sense yeah was a little weird okay Metallica makes sense yeah but yeah it was that I'm blizzcon that's what I'm into all right no way are you gonna dress up no I don't dress up in cosplay but I will be there so if you see me don't be afraid to stop me and ask for a picture or whatever if you want one I mean like don't do that if you don't want to figure with me because that would be awkward if you're gonna force you ok time for user feedback i blathered on about blizzcon sorry I give realize like this is like it's like my
