on today's show we check out a drone made of almost entirely biodegradable materials Sony Playstation unveils their new streaming service that's amazing I'm excited and we take a look at a bike path inspired by van Gogh's Starry Night it glows tomorrow daily greetings greetings citizens of the internet and welcome to tomorrow daily the best geek talk show in the known universe kills working on his fight moves I don't know what's going on i'm your host Ashley scale that Jamie's always kill anonymous yeah you got whooped in mario kart last night this morning producer Logan got too good at mario kart and I lost one race for those of you that have I lost more than one race for those of you that haven't been keeping up to date ashley is notorious for her prowess I'm an Oreo card I'm a very serious Mario Kart so it was a great defeat a great fall for her today so hopefully these stories will pick you up make you feel better again yeah well I he will be crushed producer Logan is listening he will be crushed soon enough ok I'm not know let's hit the headlines I feel like delivering malice is much better when you're smiling Yankee will be around terrifying really ok so you're really excited about this one so this is really cool ok so there is a biodegradable drone out there it's a bio drone as that that's what they're calling it so this drone is created by a team in the NASA Ames Research Center and the woman who led this team her name is Lynn Rothschild this is the first biological drone this is the material it's made out of their growing it right now this is the company ich ovate of design and what they're doing in this video is they're growing this kind of custom a biodegradable material called mycelium and it's a root like fungal material ok kind of like mushrooms like a fungus it's a fungal material so there it is and they use eco vated design actually uses this material for a couple of other things like shipping wine like packing wine and stuff they use it in surfboard course because it's biodegradable it's like really interesting that they're kind of using these things so they're I mean they're really working on all kinds of what why are they doing this well so one of the things about using a drone is that it lets say for example you wanted to research an ecologically delicate place so let's say you wanted to take it maybe into like a part of the Amazon that is very ecologically sensitive locate jenna maybe your drone crashes well now you have this pile of nuts and bolts just leave it there that's just not going to decompose it's just going to sit there and it could become toxic to it could imbalance the system and this would in effect dissolve and become part of part of the land you would see I think she mentioned this woman Lynn Rothschild mentioned that it would just sort of look like melted sugar on the ground like it would just look like a little pile of goo now there are parts of it like the propellers the rotors controls and the battery not yet biodegradable but they're hoping at some point to be able to replace them by biology and if we have a picture of it at the actual drone like I don't know if we if we actually pulled one but okay cool yeah alrighty so in they said data they said that you know obviously if you wanted to put a camera at one of the other uses that they had mentioned was a little more nefarious than ecological is spying of course you would send it in enemy territory you if it crashed you wouldn't want people to know that you had been spying so it just dissolves yeah usually when you're spying you're not supposed to say that that's what you're going to use it for well yeah I know but I mean they're you know the NASA Ames Research Center I don't think is planning on you know going spying on other people's space exploration paralyzed I think they're all pretty and because it's with each other the Space Agency's of the world so so they're they're pretty on the up and up but uh you got to tell me about playstation view because i read a little tiny bit about it but this is very interesting okay so Sony and PlayStation dropped depending on the way you think of it about it a little firecracker or a giant atom bomb of a news news today in PlayStation view this seems like a very big difference yes this is the think it was the first cable provider that isn't like it's not going through a cable service there it's basically their own cable service now basically that means through your PlayStation you're gonna be able to pay a small fee a monthly small fee mana house Sony likes not small maybe not small but a small a monthly fee in which you'll be able to have certain channels okay instead of having a cable service okay so then we're seeing on the TV so we're seeing some details that we're all familiar k so here there's going to be 75 channels at launch CBS FOX NBC Universal discoveries scripts and Viacom so I all those TV corporation at Comedy Central so Animal Planet oxygen sci fi Food Network how many central stuff like that so comedy central's good I did not see Food Network yeah did you know that's why i did not see a cartoon network ER like adult swim or anything like that which is a big / i also did not see AMC am silly but again that's just like me ouch this is just at launch so you don't need a cable service provider okay Justin internet just internet they're promising no commitments which means that you won't have to do it like a yearly promised thing oh no car no I bet they'll be like oh month month but it's cheaper if you do it by cars just like you know just like PlayStation Plus you know it's cheaper if you just buy it in a year pack yeah but Playstations trying to just have everything all in one place we won't know again the reason I say it's either a firecracker and atom bomb is how many people adapt this right here is I could go like it could interfere with the cable service providers who are ancient great so ready to sign up I'm gonna download it tonight Ackley so I think you've really I'm gonna get I can't oh because it's rolling out to only a few cities it's gonna start rolling out to New York Chicago Philadelphia and then Los Angeles and stuff like that it's going to be coming to the ipad to lean on sony device that's interesting it's pretty good it's set to launch launch in q1 of 2015 so it's pretty pretty soon so if you're asking for something for christmas and you want to skip the cable service providers you can get a playstation 4 it's gonna be a ps4 ps3 okay so we have location 30 i want to tell you about the DVR because another exciting thing that everybody likes my cable is i don't have to just support on slide right yeah very so it kind of has a built-in cloud DVR interesting okay so if you want if you're an on-demand person the videos of the the shows will be on demand for about three days so you don't have the DVR but if you are a DVR person you can set it to DVR and I'll save in the cloud for 28 days wow so like you just record something it would go to the cloud and then there's like I think it was is it unlimited storage i think it is uh yeah yeah so far right now yeah unlimited it says no without storage online limitations so great I mean this all sounds pretty good legal all-in-one you know service provider yeah it's month to month you don't have to buy a cable box it's gonna depend on price yes and availability of channels yeah price and availability channels and they don't another big key thing as they do not have major like specialty ones like HBO yes pho to show timer probably not ESP vs shorts I'm sure they're gonna do just like cable service providers and make bundle it together but this is and this is one of my favorite things to talk about this is a step forward into you know not like having everything streaming everybody everything is nice okay so here's the this is brings us to the hashtag the day the question of the day we want you guys use the hashtag TD view vu ii because that's how you spell it to you and we want you to tell us what would it take for you to dump cable entirely or whatever it is that you're currently using and use view nothing nothing is stopping me from doing that it the price again we don't know the price I think I think how much is the happy baby channel selection and price though so much you pay for cable uh I think we'd be like well cuz we have a big we've like a triple play with verizon so we have fios and then we have the TV which I thought I don't know I think it's like maybe 80 bucks a month yeah 80 bucks a month plus HB o oka 9d right okay like ten dollars a month for age I think they'll be able to I think they'll be able to cut that cost a little bit cuz you're already thanks for the PlayStation I mean the thing is is I think the big argument is everybody goes well I don't watch ninety percent of the cable channels that I have to subscribe you to get like the four that I want like I know that if we didn't want BBC America we could go one step down which would drop us like 40-something channels but because we want to watch Doctor Who yeah we have to subscribe to the like extreme package I the reason I say not like it i would totally do it is because i'm already watching hulu on my playstation 4 or my place is three and i'm already watching netflix and the nettles in a race on playstation is so good yeah that's yeah I mean well an Emmy an xbox one has already been making a play at this sort of media but you have to plug in your cable box don't worry missing you this is this is not only a dangerous for the cable companies but also things like like Apple TV and Roku and stuff like that because if you could just have a PlayStation that does all that stuff exactly that's what I'm saying is like this is potentially a big thing but if nobody adopts it it's a firecracker Canada just another thing that PlayStation was just like we tried it but I appreciate the efforts I mean I really appreciate the effort I'm not even a fanboy but it was a nice day I mean I just wash right there are many studios so just try guys give it the old college so let us know what you think of that animal and also what it would take for you to get to crossover TW T TD view there you go do you ride bikes yeah bicycles yeah I love bikes so this is like a like this is so cool okay i'm gonna use this as a thumbnail for today's show because it is so awesome looking oh cool this is a something that is not necessarily changing the world dramatically bummer um but I pics the world a little bit more amazing I think so this is we've mentioned studio Russa guard before in the show but they're back in the news for this amazing bike path there it is gorgeous um this bike path is in the Netherlands it's called the van Gogh Russa guard bicycle path it's not very creative but the bike path itself is very very creative okay it is based on the starry night painting the one that we're also very familiar with we've ever seen this painting online I'm sure you have I hear your can see people touching it and writing on it and all this stuff it's a one kilometre long section of a route that goes through the province where van Gogh was born and raised so it's very near where he was brought up there are surface patterns on there you can see there's like the spirals and these beautiful just sort of designs in this bike path it is very bright it is extremely bright so they're coated with special paint and it grabs daylight almost like you know something that's goal in the dark or solar powered right um but this is kind of a cool thing there are also extra LEDs along the sides of parts of the curves of the bike path so they help illuminate them when maybe it's overcast and there's not enough energy to actually power these like it'll add a little exercise so it looks absolutely amazing i mean it's super stunning I it's something that I would want it's it's so beautiful and this is a really great kind of example of how technology can make the world just a prettier place like and I just really love this like what a fantastic and whimsical way of giving people a beautiful well-lit bike path like it was when you pick a science / art story I like those stories yeah it's really it's really inspiring and just real cool yeah well it just reminds us that like very beautiful it just reminds everybody that science doesn't need to necessarily have an end game it doesn't need to have this like you know life-changing earth-shattering function it can just be beautiful and make people's lives happier or better yeah I'm in an aesthetic way I'm gonna get real hippie with it I I think that it's it's nice because it makes us kind of believe in magic it again I really like I don't know how to do that yeah but science doesn't it didn't then it just exists that I just have to be like wow they created this magical path just with magic like yeah but with with beautiful wizard magic I love popular love it yeah it's really cool cool so that's those are our headlines for today we will be back we're going to take a quick 30 second break when we come back we're and do a back of their hackett a really good one I'm that we actually got to check out in person and then of course your user feedback and our photog refer the day so don't click way it's tomorrow daily check out this r2 d2 bird oh yeah welcome back hello welcome back to the show Kailyn I've decided we are cautious optimists yeah we want to believe that things are gonna be really great like PlayStation via we're optimistic about it but cautious yeah the same time well because you know it could hurt us but I could really help us I could be really cool yeah so every week we like to take a look at some cool crowdfunding project this one in particular we really enjoyed because we actually got to check it out in person so this is back at our Hackett and of course we are continuing our streak of things that we actually just really like so yeah yeah we don't think this is really neat out though it's called screens TV continue with a TV theme this in this episode this is really neat so we got to check this out it's on IndieGoGo right now this is what the box looks like it's like a really cool looking kind of futuristic set-top box it's not that big you can see in the bottom right of the screen there and it is it allows you it's got five hdmi inputs and it will allow you to view all of those inputs all at the same time and interact with them on your TV screen what and adjust the size of each of the screens yes so uh it's it's actually a really clever user interface and it's really easy to use you can see this they're using it so they'll have like sports and then they'll have you know oh here's this football game on directv and then you have you know like xbox 1 i'm playing madden and then there's I want to see all my fantasy football stuff in my browser and then I want to see all the tweets about the you know what's a football team that people like the Patriots and the southern you have all the tweets in there Tom Brady like I wanna see my Tom Brady tweets I want to play Halo and Call of Duty at the same time because I can't make up my mind well I want to play I want to play call of duty and harass people on Twitter all at the same time like you can do that so it's actually really cool so they and and then there's the interface where you can actually adjust all the different screens and stuff so she'll like set it up it's Oh YouTube and skype and all these other things so that's uh that's what screens TV is and then we actually got to go i get to go check it out with producer Logan there's me using it and it was super easy to adjust everything super easy to move stuff around with the iPad in her face um it was really I was very surprised of how easy it was to use I thought it was going to be a little bit more counterintuitive I was like because of its five different inputs and oh this could get really messy and but I was I was I was very impressed with how it worked can I ask you a question yes what's what sound or which you had to pick the sound you can have sound on all of them via headphones and our Wi-Fi so it's like if you have he was saying I think something along the lines of like if you had like a headset working on your xbox you can like designate which input goes to it so you can actually like delegate which one sound goes where what's the maximum amount of processes you can have it at the time they have five inputs so you can have five screens it maxes out at five okay all right well he's no he said even daisy chain them you'd be able at side theoretically would be able to daisy chain them you ever seen back to the future too yes do you remember how it already had this screen with multiple televisions that's exactly that it was a lot like that came and he goes watching a watching a little TV yeah it's like a bit yeah that's like 15 shows what are your kids coming together it was really cool so if you want to get in on this they just started their IndieGoGo today okay which is congrats on your lunch and it's 399 for early backers so if you want to get one it's 399 bucks for the base model of screens which is the box and it's four gigs of on store onboard storage oh no um which four gigs you know it's fine but they also have upgradeable storage like I believe it's a hundred bucks more for I think either 32 or 64 today but it goes all the way up to i think 128 gigs what am I story you go way up you can actually like I think they were saying you could load like themes and stuff I I'm really being terrible at this but there were other processes that I'm sure you could load into screen sorry they also have html5 available for canvas programming so like let's say for example there was like a theme that was like you know the Cleveland Browns like put together I'm making all these gears of all references put together a package for screens where you could choose a theme that would give you your the game and then it would have liked your fantasy football information Twitter like all the stuff that follows like Cleveland Browns or whatever and then it would all be overlaid on this like you know kind of not interactive but serve like a themed framing that is you could see a theme that is pretty cool Sam is really neat i like I thought it was really interesting and honestly like there are a lot of people who kind of like doesn't everybody have a house where it's like the living room is still the TV everyone wants to use like it's like even when I was a kid we had a TV in our bedroom but I always wanted to use the living room TV because it always seemed better so this would allow people to use well I'm like a I'm like a terrible i'm a terrible gamer i put up like my i usually put up my video game and then like watch a movie on an ipad never really asked you before focus to anything yeah no yeah they were showing that was just like okay so you have like you know it let's say you have three things going on once you have like Twitter happening and then maybe you're playing a game and then you have a movie going on or you know live TV here what's actually really cool it's pretty cool i liked it i thought was really neat and and they're they're looking to ship in december of next year so it's it's about a year out the 0 delivery in the box so get it for next Christmas but they were saying if you get in early backer you get access to like betas and like early access to a lot of things that are going on and they're really obviously keep you in the loop on all the development and stuff cool this was pretty neat I thought it was cool anyway on that screens TV so I say I say yes I say it's great I'd back it yeah I would too I like the idea of having multiple stuff on the screen I have a problem yeah it's adventure I need this type of thing we have no attention span you guys oh um okay well now that we are done talking about backdoor Hackett let's talk about you it's time for your user feedback short attention span is short it's all over the joint yeah so yesterday we asked you guys to just just tweet nice things to the ESA and to feel a and Rosetta and use the hashtag TD Rosetta and you guys really did I picked three of my favorites Shannon wrote congrats TD Rosetta and all who were involved and then J Wallin said congrats a good work and also tagged the ESA so good job and then Rick actually told a Rick actually told a joke he said what did rosetta say to comet 67p you spin my head right round yeah so I thought that was funny that was good I really hope they can figure out feeling like it for did you hear the update so it's sitting on two legs one of the legs is up oh and they're not really sure if they can fire the harpoon because it might actually like launch the thing off the comet to like anchor it into the ground yeah and it's also going to run out of batteries in two days if it doesn't get enough Sun and they're saying where it is right now is up against sort of a rock face like a formation that is blocking most of its Sun I think they said something that gets like 30 minutes of sun every like two hour 90 minutes of sun every 12 hours which is not enough to power the battery so they're going to try to do some of the functions and hope that it kind of pops it into a place where I can get a little more sunlight but they're saying they might actually lose if they might die the batteries could die you guys got to work on battery technology the batteries could die in the next two days if they if they can't all those calculations to get there just to have the battery when shutting off of plan Mars the I know and then it landed weird and well and the battery's gonna die man like so frustrating so but we'll see we really will keep you posted but um yeah I just I saw that this morning and I'm like man I can't believe I mean it's amazing that they even got it there in the first place like incredible but man how does that I'm sure that feels like just it's a lit sting the guy that made the harpoons is fired yeah like not well I think I did the harpoons James so remember that time that the harpoons didn't fire well you are now actually fun oh ah call yourself a harpoon cuz you're well but not fired yeah you know how you're not like a harpoon you're fired all right so it is done for our last piece of user feedback our phones Agra for the day we're gonna have to try that joke again on Monday yeah we
