Tomorrow Daily - 084: A Japanese e-paper bra, robot karate, all-electric watercraft and more

2014-11-11
on today's show a very special bra emerges from Japan which means you know things are going to get weird some people are trying to teach a robot karate cuz that's a good idea it's a terrible idea and we check out the Quadra foil an all-electric watercraft that looks like it came straight from the future not unlike this car tomorrow daily greetings citizens of the internet welcome to tomorrow daily at the best geek talk show in the known universe I'm your host Ashley scanning me as always once again forevermore Gaylen octopus forever and ever forever you're actually stapled to these chairs we are yeah there's a there's an Arduino that's actually keeping it's actually an electric fence in the studio this keeps us in here soured by raspberry pi in our shop real cheap cheap only caused less than $50 to keep us trapped in here we have guys it's a weird day it's a weird day we got some weird stories so so we might as well just jump right in let's have the headlines okay as we always say here on tomorrow daily we love Japan we love Japan love you Japan and when I saw this story very early this morning I knew it was gonna be on today's show because it is right up our alley this is called the close sisters bra now we're going to get this is a very special bra it's from a company called triumph and it changes look at that change yeah the cup changes yeah it changed the pattern change of the cup changed okay okay so this is okay the close sisters bra inspired by the movie frozen which is apparently why they're wearing these little crystal crowns and and it changes from polka dots to look at two snowflakes to blue and white snow so it's it's it's a it's a themed bra that listen I do not recall I've seen frozen I do not recall a scene in which Elsa Nana hung around in their undies but the version begun is it Japanese version of frozen yeah okay so the bras come with matching short skirts with little heart shapes on the hips and so what's happening is you can see a little heart shapes on the side there when they bump hips they eat it's the bras made of a paper the part that changes it's like an ePaper deccan that can transform so when they bump it changes so that's there you go goes back and forth from black and white polka dots to white and blue snowflakes the the saddest part about story is I know if there was a down side of the story here it is there is no plan to release these to the general public there's no plan to make these retail this was made with triumph and and they collaborated with this company called fashion entertainments in Japan to promote sisterhood and show off the technology the ePaper technology yes all right I just thought this was so bizarre apparently fashion entertainments actually already makes a bowtie out of this ePaper that changes that's cool which is really neat and so that they like took it to the next step which was working with a lingerie company to make like an ePaper bra I'm big on the ePaper has very very strange doubt by the bra but I bump your sister's hip I know I just so bizarre but I really like the concept of like clothes that can change on a whim as you to fit your mood or your stuffing what about what about if we did a couple thing you know like you you and your significant other you know like they you know your significant other had the bra and then you had the bowtie and then it would you burn in your case reverse it yeah yeah but cool that would be really cool so yeah it won't be for sale but I just saw it and thought you guys needed to see that and honestly anybody who's only listening to an audio version of this show please watch because that was incredible it was cute it was kawaii you might even say kawaii is adorable okay so speaking of some some weird tags I don't know I was gonna say I was hoping you weren't gonna say speaking of adorable because I'm like this is not it's not adorable this is a terrible idea this is a robot that knows karate his name is Atlas and this is from Boston Dynamics it's owned by go by Google so here we go it's it's this six-foot 330 pound robot nope that can do the the crane move like from karate look at it he's balancing on a cinder block with one leg and the other leg is in the air as if he is doing a crane and he's moving around so he's got complete control over his balance so this is a this this is Atlas of course this is from the same people that have made pet man and wild wild cat and big dog no but I don't like any and they're all terrifying all amazing but all kind of creepy but uh what's what's interesting is that the this robot was not programmed by Boston Dynamics it was actually programmed by a Institute named the IH MC so they programmed it to do the the karate moves here incredibly horrifying yes master controlls but I mean usually this robot is programmed for actual product productive things and to scare or beat us to death with karate moves right it's supposed to save people from like disasters and whatnot yeah I guess instance I guess it could go places like I like Fukushima it could have gone into a nuclear site where humans couldn't go be too dangerous and I guess it could do that but now we can send it to space to fight aliens with its karate moves well you know it's a really good contingency plan I think I think it's like I think that's why companies and labs like Boston Dynamics like listen we have these robots they can help people but we should probably teach them martial arts because there could be aliens and maybe we can't fight them look if we if they had taught it to drink a cup of tea we wouldn't be reporting on it right now it's knows karate it knows more deadly moves than I do no but I mean it doesn't look it doesn't know any attacks it looks like it knows how to balance so it's almost yoga but only matter type but karate kid' reboot with the robot it is all I'm saying it is only a matter of time before we see a headline where Atlas the robot kicks researcher in face escapes Boston Dynamics facility that's that's what I'm waiting for kake's researcher right in the face takes off train it to help people all right so training it brings it to our hashtag of the day so our hashtag the day to day you guys are question that you are you are gonna answer is you're gonna use the hashtag TD karate but we want to know who's your friends completely run who would you want to hire fictional or real what person would you hire to train a robot and in what discipline so it could be anything really anything I would hire Cesar Millan Oh to train a robot to walk my dogs all right I would I would do Oh what's the Alton Brown okay and I would just teach you how to cook like everything real weird I like it did these macaroni and cheese bars and you make them and then you fry oh oh good I come on when he did that grilled cheese sandwich actually on the grill oh yeah that was the best so that's really smart I look about and that's that first step into the wally universe and where they feed us we get fat and then so then it's cupcake in a cup all the way but it could be fictional people like yeah good julia Morpheus Morpheus from the matrix it could be Morpheus or it could be Keanu Reeves from the matrix now I can say for John wick yeah from John wick anything how to seek revenge yeah I like it alright I'm gonna just see what people want to trainerroad I'm gonna do dying to know I'm dying to know alright let's talk about the Quadra foil this is a very interesting little bit of kits so usually if you write if you've ever ridden a jet ski or some other kind of watercraft they're pretty loud yeah they have motors in them they're run by gas you put gas in them that can be really expensive so not anymore because the Quadra foil is here to change that this is the Quadra foil it's a hydrofoil impersonal craft it runs entirely on electric power nice fully electric so those are the foils they look like little legs they actually act as lifts for the craft so once it hits seven miles per hour it rises up out of the water wow that looks creepy kind of amazing out looks like a giant spider floating through the floating through the ocean yeah very it's not touching the surface of the water very much so because it's electric it's very very quiet it releases zero emissions which is great because there's no oil getting leaks into the water there's no chance of if you have a crash it's not gonna you know spill a bunch of fuel everywhere but for me it looks like one of two things either a seadoo for rich snobs who hit country clubs way too often this couple this couple looks like the ad League Country Club like they should have cardigans and early haha Buffy like high ball once I get off my quadrupole I can well I dropped my gold watch that's okay I keep another exactly exactly all my gold by 24 karat gold Rolex went into the ocean oh well I have another one on my left arm like that's what it looks like or or it looks like an alien spacecraft that is meant to actually cruise the lakes of Europa which is like I thought that was pretty cool so is this thing shockingly light as well is that what we're looking at so the cool thing about this is is the creators say it's unsinkable they claim it as unsinkable oh that's always worked out well Titanic I'm sure it worked out really well fin abut it because the craft has a hollow hull so there's an engine in there but it's for the most part of the hull is hollow so it's very difficult to sink and it gets it seats to people as you can see in the video it tops out at 25 miles per hour and has a range of about 54 nautical miles so you know it's kind of his range and it takes two hours to charge fully so not long at all only two hours a couple hours um you can pre-order it so are you ready are you ready to get out your wallet you're ready to get out your gold Rolex sell it pocket buy one of these quadruples all right I like that you have a Velcro well I hate that I have a Velcro thank you you're such an adult okay so if you want the lower powered q2a model that's gonna cost you 18650 dollars but that but you know what if you have a little extra cash in there you can get the limited edition q2 S which has a larger motor and that'll set you back twenty-seven thousand nine hundred and eighty dollars how much does a normal boat cost probably well it depends on the size of the boat but you do get here you get some extras you get the Quadra foil you get two life jackets and you get a paddle in case you run out of power and you also get a safety whistle so if you want to recreate Titanic where she's hanging on to a board or something and be blows the whistle to get the ship to come rescue her you could do that okay so it doesn't sound that expensive but it also sounds like it might be cheaper to get a boat I just you know what my recommendation is don't ever buy a boat and just rent one whenever you want it because most people unless you're gonna live on the boat my dad has a boat and it's just AM is a money pit just keep putting money into it it's ridiculous alright scary spider boat yeah scary spider boat Quadro foil pretty cool though I mean I thought it was really neat I would like for them to get cheaper in price and then maybe maybe not $30,000 doesn't mean the cost of student my student loans maybe maybe not that so alright well on that note we are gonna take a quick break we'll be right back in about 30 seconds with new releases and there are so many good ones this week and of course your user feedback and our phone target for the day so don't click away tomorrow daily hey friends we're back I know you points it looks so nice and I pantomime stupid like you anybody listening is like what's really not adding a lot today killin really is just not he's just he's not into it today alright you guys it is Tuesday which means and we are gonna jump into all the cool new stuff that you should be checking out so this is new releases I feel like we actually might have to be due to new releases every week these are so much good stuff reading much today leading up to the holidays it's gonna be an avalanche of amazing games but that's good stuff down right so that when Black Friday happens you have your shopping the best American you can be by buying all of them buying all the things so our very first new release is of course Assassin's Creed unity out today for Xbox one Playstation 4 and PC Oh PC PCI so this is well that's what I saw in Ubisoft so hopefully hopefully PC today I haven't I've heard that it's not not getting great reviews not not a hundred percent great it's that every other one gets great reviews though yeah I mean if you're looking for multiplayer I mean this is this is the Assassin's Creed for you if you've always wanted multiplayer this is the one you want to get because this is the only one with it not to extend this this part but like how can they get it wrong they've been kind of just adding things and not really subtracting things yeah I mean I'd like the reviews that I've seen thus far have been like well and producer Logan and I were discussing it too right before the show what we've kind of seen is that people are saying well you have to communicate with your teammates like vocally like which I don't care for if you're playing with strangers because you know how that always ends you guys and then the other part of it is is that the single-player game wasn't really like it was just kind of like they're like it was just like oh okay well it's no Assassin's Creed game so but the thing is is there are diehard fans in the series who I'm sure will love it so there you go and then not and then also today but speaking of multiplayer speaking of multiplayer big the the one the one that you could argue started at all yes halo Master Chief collection is available for Xbox one today $60 for all the Halo for every Halo that you've ever played including online remastered in 1080p 100 maps for multiplayer it's got Halo one two three and four and also I think has the TV series on it nightfall yeah it's this episode nightfall and then I think it has access for the Alpha 4 halo 5 Guardians somebody in the in the comments correct me if I'm wrong yeah please correct Kel if he's wrong and also the one thing that I have been hearing about that is that matchmaking is broken right now yeah so we did it apparently very popular a low master chief collection but you know that's good that means people are still people still love it which is so cool I mean that that was really the game that broke open I would say that and maybe goldeneye for the 64 broke open multiplayer console like FPS I think it was Halo that was the online one the one that was the big one where yeah where it was online and then but I would say like console FPS like gold and I would be the first of like that I can think of where I was like oh my god like this is changing everything halos one of the smartest shooters for sure it's really great you made my Kneedler yeah you're a needler person now everybody hates to be like a real person everybody hates the needler it's the worst but great go $60 very very very reasonable and if you have a friend or a family member that likes video games they probably want this if they don't have it if they have an Xbox one and then also today which I thought was super cool is if you have ever loved Batman the Batman 1966 television series is available now on blu-ray oh yeah this is an unbelievable remaster okay like look at how beautiful the remaster is of this show so they remastered everything oh wow it's gorgeous like it is so beautiful compared to what we used to see on TV and so look at how crisp everything it was only 120 episodes yeah fully remastered blu-ray all the things there's some really great special features they have like I think it's like a sit-down talk with Adam West where they it's Guelph Garmin and Kevin Smith sat down and talked to Adam West there's like a roundtable kind of discussion with the others but it's really really cool and and it's available I want to say on Amazon I want to say it was pre-ordering for like 170 bucks but it's like a box that like it's a full box out of a whole series so I would imagine that's not too unreasonable there's a lot of extras and for people who are really big fans of that series and there are many it's a it's a good deal think about already how much people spend on like the box set for friends with the entire series the entire so many episodes is that well it's like ten seasons 22 episodes of season oh there we go there we go you pulled it up Logan pulled it up how much to say 175 yeah free shipping that's all would be a lot of fun to provar weekend's hang out the front I wait man I mean it's one of those things where it's like it's really fun to have it's cool you can throw it on during like a party or something it's always entertaining I just have on the screen so I'd be like a good gift for my dad my dad would probably really dig that yes and also just to Betty's getting a tie again this you're gonna get an ePaper bowtie oh yeah I'm gonna get my stepmom a bra perfect and then that won't be awkward at all also we are just because because we don't have video of this but Foo Fighters sonic highways dropped yesterday so if you're into Foo Fighters their new album is out which it's producer Logan's the head musician of our crew he likes yeah he missed her musician well yes it he doesn't want to listen a whole thing until he watches the documentary series on HP I can't tell if that makes him a good like music fan or not he's like maybe a little bit of a music snob but in a really good way this gives us good recommendation yeah he does so a party he told me to listen an eye-for-an-eye party high fives for knife party uh on that note it's time for user feedback picking a knife party I am jumping around stab people you're all you do is just say speaking of speaking of and then whatever the line I know is that that's I there's something endearing and charming about it to me especially when has nothing to do with what you're about to say that's the best part so first of all I just want to really briefly say thank you to attack beast who yesterday wanted to beam us as Holograms into his living room so that he could have tomorrow dealings living room he actually photos we gave him an opportunity to photoshop into the show which he did and say thank you very much for that and it just makes me laugh every time I see it's great like he says here's my here's my hologram of me and you guys on the show lol happy Veterans Day and also yeah happy Veterans Day to anybody out there who has will or or is serving in the military thank you for being better people thanks mom thanks dad thanks stepmom thanks dad stepdad thanks stepsister I know I'm like I'm like grandpa great oh yeah bye grandpa yeah I mean like there's no you have a lot of a lot of service history and my family as well okay so moving on to our tweets we asked you guys yesterday to use the hashtag TD net to ask us your net neutrality questions or to ask or to make comments about it so okay Matt wrote to us and said I think net neutrality is a great thing the internet needs to be the same for everyone that's just my opinions right we agree there shouldn't be any roadblocks and communication and information I agree so here's an interesting question most of these other through your questions so Jay wrote to us and said why did net neutrality become an issue and they go that is a really good question so basically back in the 90s we passed the Telecommunications Act which required the FCC to treat ISPs like common carriers which meant that there couldn't be discrimination of content or going to or from your computer so it's basically right at the beginning kind of when the internet started picking up steam with the general public they were like okay listen it's common carrier at one point then after that some folks in the government people who are now lobbyists and all this other great stuff decided to change that and reclassify broadband as an information service so that now that sort of regulation of you can't discriminate does not apply to information services so it stops the FCC from being able to stop ISPs from discriminating against specific types of content so this reclassification is really what's at the heart of the issue so this reclassification when did that happen I want to say it happened in the 2000s like during when Bush was president okay I think so this reclassification is sort of the problem because a lot of people think that we should go back to classifying the Internet as a telecommunication service which would let the FCC disallow any type of traffic discrimination okay so that's what we mean when we say that we would reclassified as like under title 2 which was reclassified as sort of a public utility and we used to so when we had phones just landline phones and Telegraph's as we used phone lines to access the internet for dialogue right so we used phone lines to contact each other it was our main means of information which means that we could not discriminate against content going across that data or across that pipe when I call it a pipe okay so now because the Internet is our source of information we we get some people get their television from an Internet loop some people have they have all of their internet from that some people have their phone line set up to run off of their internet they have voice over IP so why would we not the argument is why would we not reclassify it as a public utility because it is used very much in the same way that phone lines were back before we have the Internet so that's why it's important and why it happened so there you go that's it's sort of a weird like I I feel like it's important for people understand why and what's going on and stuff but that's why so that's there you go so like the big argument is that let's say like Comcast says well I don't want you to use Google anymore yeah we don't like Google yep so on the oatmeal they have this great cartoon about what net neutrality is and he explains it this way so Comcast decides we're gonna have our own search engine and to go to Google either Google house maybe Google has to pay a bunch of money or maybe you get slower internet if you want to go use Google or they basically try everything they can to discourage you from using the sites that they don't want you to use so that is not very good thing so bad so but no one's saying and here's the thing no one's saying that's happening right now but it could and the other thing by little to it is kind of happening because we saw Comcast very publicly throttling Netflix and saying no during these negotiations you need to pay more for all the bandwidth you're using Verizon doing something like that today we're - and as soon as Netflix paid oh suddenly miraculously they're there download speeds went way out so you can find these charts online and basically like the mom they're like the mom kind of yeah yeah it's just it's really it's a lot of strong-arming and it's not good for anybody who loves a free and open Internet that's which is you yeah so really yes everybody it's all of us it's me it's you it's everybody listening and watching so you're just scared of it slowly happening because it's slowly happening you can go into the radar but as long as we're like hey we need to keep aware of this then we can like the net neutrality thing needs to be a big noise right now all the time like yeah so that we've got our eye on it and it's good that Obama said it so that we can have some subscribe everybody can hear it so right and I mean very much is that whole concept of if you put it it's like an old adage if you put a frog in hot water the Frog immediately jumps out and boiling water frog jumps out if you put it in cold water and slowly bring it to a boil frog won't jump out I'll just sit there and die so we don't want to do that with the internet we have to be vigilant about what's going on here so we'll see how at work we need Google Fiber like now everybody hates good we need Google Fiber was it one terabyte down it's crazy it's just like really slow high-speed Internet compared to a lot of places in the world Korea is theirs it's like cell phones have like 150 down I mean it's it's nuts like your infrastructure is a madness but it's also about smaller than the US so it's much harder to build out an infrastructure here than it is in a smaller country mine is like 12 12 down it's not cool not so great I'm still loading a picture of a fish that I was looking at earlier I have said I have 75 75 on quantum FiOS but whoa the average say it like 60 down 60 that's why you're good at Mario cards cuz you beat every because you got a better internet connection no I'm just better lamb just better all right our very last piece of user feedback as always is our photogra for the day this phone target for the day we're gonna have problems with I'm gonna tell you right now here's why dear tomorrow daily crew my name is Connor C and I am an avid 14 probably 15 year old photographer I took this photo whilst on a day trip to London with my new iPad oh why did you do that the photo is of London's iconic Tower Bridge with the Sun setting behind dense clouds in the peripheral of the image there was no post editing a photo shopping just plain old HDR I hope you like it enough to be featured on your amazing show Connor whilst I know that the iPad is not a phone I still hope that it qualifies I will allow it I will not appreciate it as much really nice picture it's a fantastic picture it's beautiful but but all I can see here is what I see I know you see it you see I'm doing it here's yeah I this is what I see this is what I see when I when I see that picture I see this yep the instance someone said I am looking through that picture and all I can see is you taking it but I will say that I am impressed with the actual photo no it's a great picture it's gorgeous yes it looks look at the color in the sky I mean it's really beautiful obviously I mean listen I'm not about taking pairs of tablets cuz it makes me enraged but but I will say that the iPad twos camera looks really good yeah I'm gonna play devil's advocate iPad air 2 I'm sorry I'm gonna play devil's advocate and say well you probably could size of the pictures actual scope better because he was doing it on an iPad oh okay all right let's get artsy let's talk about it he's Connor Kevin you're sad Connor kills has called you out that was a really nice picture of the Tower Bridge though they're really nice and it took me a great spot in London I liked that he knew we were gonna have a little bit of a problem he's like I already know it's the only reason why we were so like oh I know I know it's so great so that was our phone time of the day if you guys want to submit your phone tog Rafi or you want to
