on today's show NASA's Orion spacecraft makes a successful launches landing and we're going to tell you why that's so awesome and how it could lead us to Mars new technology lets you play video games at the crosswalk while you wait oh I like it and also Pizza Hut has a new piece of software that can read your mind I'm reading your mind right now mm-hmm Pizza yep sera daily greetings citizen from the internet welcome to tomorrow daily the best geek talk show in the known universe I'm your host Ashley scale adona me once again as always on a Monday cantle anonymous I want to go to Mars I do too yeah but no cell phone reception they're like no no no fios is a no internet is the reason why we wouldn't want to go to Mars I don't tell me the hardest sad yeah that's I mean if we could have an internet connection I feel like maybe I would go well it's 56 k well the problem is it would take so long to get like if we could just ask like google com to NASA like here on earth and then they don't send it back or take forever yeah half hour to like load up a page I change my mind I'm not going yeah alright so let's talk about how some other people might go there let's hit the headlines before we get started if I start coughing uncontrollably I'm feeling a little under the weather today so if I sound like a dying person I'm sorry I promise I won't get sick sit far away from you're a marine um yeah I stay away from nigerian please don't don't touch me during the show on your screen it's all germs okay so we have to talk about Orion they actually we were gonna report on this on Thursday but then they moved the launch date back a little bit because of the weather so they said it wasn't the right weather we're gonna wait a day we'll see how it goes and then NASA successfully launched the Orion spacecraft here is the actual footage of the launch which is super cool looking yeah look at that so this is a four hour to write short flight four hours it safely landed in the Pacific Ocean so it went from one side to the other right into the Pacific Ocean pretty cool and it basically the point of this if you haven't read up about this if you haven't been hearing about this is this is a capsule so it's not quite a space shuttle it's a capsule and this is one of the first steps in exploring and sending human beings to Mars which is pretty great so what this capsule did was it tested critical onboard systems while it was in the air like heat shields it took measurements on radiation exposure and it orbited the earth twice and then landed in the Pacific Ocean so basically the goal is to send some day send astronauts in a capsule like this to Mars so the road map includes sending Orion on an uncrewed trip to the moon so they want to send this capsule again like up to the moon uncrewed and then in the future at some point hopefully by 2021 they want to send astronauts into the craft I don't know if that's specifically to Mars I want to say that might be a little bit farther down the road but I'm having a crude set of astronauts like getting get into the capsule and fly it around you're pretty awesome we had a lot of work to do we got a lot of work there's a lot of work to do a lot of work but that's good it's good we have it we have you know it's good to have a success yeah yeah i mean it's it's been a rough couple months but i think now with you know even even feel a like landing even though it didn't go perfectly i think that was really exciting and then of course you know now we have this so more successes like it's it's feeling a little bit better I know for a while there was kind of dark like we were all kind of bummed because there were some some bad things that we're going on yeah some explosions some very bad likes of not cool things but the neat thing about the capsule is we saw a lot of people kind of or I did anyway saw some people saying like Oh reminds me of Apollo the Apollo missions and like it's the exact same and why aren't we progressing and why isn't this technology better than it was but the cool thing about this capsule as opposed to a shuttle as I were to understand it is that it's a safer and more efficient way to launch and recover spacecraft and the other thing is is it's mostly reusable so this is it's capable and it's also capable of farther and longer our farther and longer time space exploration so this is like perfect a much better choice for the first set of you know missions to get you know crews out farther into space for longer periods of time things like that sounds like that's the kind of upgrade you'd want I mean probably going to add laser guns or anything to it yeah or you know like space wheels like following next Twitter in base Wales I'm sick please um but yeah so I really really cool and I'm just good job NASA and everybody involved yeah great job NASA so um but now is good news now I would like to hear about this is this is the brink of technology right just kidding I said you know we're excited about going to Mars but this is something we could maybe potentially enjoy very very soon yeah this is true this is all happening in Germany but if you've ever been impatient while waiting across the street well now there's technology and video games that'll keep you occupied now back in 2012 these two Germans I decided that they wanted to create a video game where you can play pong with the person waiting across the street there's a pong game without and they finally they got approval so now they made it on a few street corners and as you can see people are sitting here playing pong they've even they now have a company called urban invention oh yeah and they've created a device called active wait and you can just sit there and play video games with the person across the street oh it's with them yeah its interactive with the person across the street there look at this they're playing it's time lapse and then of course like oh we can walk now you're good yeah when it when it's over when it turns green it'll it'll give you a alert go cross the street that's how much time you have I love it they high-fived airplane yeah it's an adorable way they are they now have an IndieGoGo that they have up try and raise funding for future future games are just developing controller yeah cuz I think it's like yellow one intersection yeah it's only one of their so that's still really bold step in the right direction captured oh oh my god there you go but it's really cool that they're doing we're that's a working prototype that's really neat producer Logan said something very appropriate for this which was guys uh how did you miss the obvious you should have put Frogger on there oh man that is great he's like so uh yeah like about Frogger you've like priori we'll watch a movie he meant to say he meant to say Grand Theft Auto yeah of course Wow yeah that's always the first choice but then you know Frogger pong those are your second and third yeah so there you go I don't have the information for the IndieGoGo but if you look up activate activate activate if you look up activate you can go see Mona you know what they're up to I like it what there you go pretty yeah pretty little fun little tidbit there for you so speaking of fun little tidbits um as we all know kilos pizza nobody could nobody knew that I don't nobody know it's a secret um trade secrets so I saw this story and immediately thought of kale because Pizza Hut would not actually need this piece of software for kill but maybe for other people so this is what they're calling a subconscious menu and what pizza hut is doing is they are going to they would give patrons a tablet and it has this software called Toby its eye tracking technology called Toby and the tablet running Toby will do this little thing if you're watching right now the pizza hut logo would go around and that actually calibrates your eye movement and then it'll show you a whole bunch of toppings that are happening and then based on your eye movement in three seconds it'll decide what toppings are the most important to you and show you the and put an algorithm together and parse it and then say this is the pizza that you want how great is that right Wow kill your crying I'm just glad it finally happened I'm glad to get my memo no this is super weird it's so Wyatt why is it why why why is it also well I'm looking at that tablet screen and the only thing I can think of is some of those toppings look super weird and at first I didn't even know what they were so I was I spent more time looking at looking at it and then I'm like this thing is gonna think look at the toppings you ordered one of those looks like a donut you ordered pig elbows you know I'm just looking at see whatever you know what that was like I'm sorry but it was corn on their shrimp like I would look at the shrimp going who would put you up you've ordered shrimp yeah I know yeah before you could even say like why is this on here I'd be like oh here's your pizza it's a shrimp and hushpuppies like on a pizza with so just we go instead of somebody coming up and going like what do you want and you go oh god I've never had any time before I just have zero idea what could you possibly but that's just weird pizza hut but it's like I think s it's for the people who come in and are like I don't really know what I'm in the mood for and then it's like well look at this thing and then it'll tell you you know Oh based on your eye movements these were the things you were most interested in here is a hero's a pizza that we think would be good it's not like here's your first and second choice it's like your first choice was this and so based on that we've created like a pizza with that topping and you know some other stuff on there that we think you would like based on what you looked at what if you just want one topping well then you wouldn't need it you just I want a pepperoni pizza you just look at the pepperoni and should be like just stare really hard at just the pepperoni all right don't look at anything else there you go it's weird pizza that is really really weird oh by the way I forgot to do our hashtag of their question of the day oh I was a sec yeah it is but producer ligand can you throw up the hashtag of the day on the the lower third here that would be fantastic the hashtag days TD game wait and I wanted to know and I feel good ask you what would you play if you were sitting at a stoplight like what's the game you would want to be playing I said fall out but i changed it to heart stone hearth gotta be it's got to be a quickie ok a nobody's gonna be like yeah nobody can say like Skyrim here's a little trick you see every 300 hours yeah no I'm sorry I can't ever leave this well it's a good question so what game would you want to play at a cross one I would say three's threes the it's a card game for puzzle game um did you ever play 2048 no okay well that get well threes is the original um shout out two threes but it was a it's a game at just one iphone game of the year cool yeah so you can go you go check out eyes it's an awesome puzzle game you like puzzle games like you have to basically get cards and you have to match ones and twos to make threes and then you have to match cards it's really and you can only swipe like up and down glad we both picked like card games yeah well I can't drag an angel position so that's your that's your that's your hashtag yeah what game would you want to play at a crosswalk well game you want to play in a crosswalk cuz that's that's actually really cool technology and it keeps you safe which is me you know don't forget you're also you can also pick a game that you're playing with the person on the other side so give you smash brothers a smash brothers whatever you want so um alright cool we're gonna take a quick 30 second break and then we will be back with a back at her Hackett and your user feedback and of course our phone talker for the day so don't click away tomorrow daily welcome back to the show we're back after a very quick break so this next thing is actually it's a back of their Hackett and we're really interested in it but you know we're a little skeptical so we have some fun stuff for you so check out back at Hackett so of course the holidays are upon us everybody's decorating one of the things that we always see like the joke the constant joke about Christmas lights is that they always get jumbled up into a big knot and they're really tough oh yeah rabble on so these two guys started a company and it's called aura powered by aura and these are Christmas ornaments that light up so that's what it looks like and their wireless and it's powered by a ring and that goes around the tree so of course I here's here it is the trope that you always see it's like all of these Christmas lights are so hard yeah look a Christmas vacation yeah and these are the two guys um oddly enough I talked to them and they said that they met on via Kickstarter you actually went and talked to them oh no they came to me they came to my house on Friday oh and they came to my house to show me the technology because honestly like I saw this video you guys and I was I was pretty skeptical I'm like I don't know like it this seems kind of gimmicky yeah we're square skeptical people and I noticed that they were located here in Southern California so I reached out to them and they you know okay like talk to their their lovely PR person and had him had him come out to the house because we don't have a tree here and we couldn't fit one even if we tried yeah plus we hate nature yeah we also just hate trees and so why don't because I have one in my house but I really wanted to see this technology first hand and so I did so invited the guys over to talk a little bit about aura and then also show me the actual product in you know working so check out this little video that i put cool my name is hardeep johar i'm the co-founder and CEO of aura my name is Chris Higgins I'm the CTO at powered by aura I've always been annoyed at the amount of wires on the Christmas tree my my mom actually puts up so many wire lights on the tree it just kind of strangles it so we really wanted to get rid of them and just make it a more fun experience the technology we're using as a perfect fit for the Christmas tree because it's vertical and it works better with the technology to get to this point we've gone through quite a few prototypes I'd say six seven different iterations of testing out different prototypes on the transmitter side the ring itself in the ornaments themselves I can't even count the number of PCBs I've got at home so probably on the magnitude of 10 to 20 different models of the PCBs are as really exciting is a future we're getting a lot of people interested as but people want to license the project as well as distributed the response has been pretty amazing people have suggested and we originally had gone with glass all glass frosted clear and crackle but people brought up the point and have shown us that they really like plastic for kids for dogs for animals and for just normal safety purposes so we're actually launching a plastic option as well once you have a field of wireless electricity around Christmas trees it's incredible what you can do with ornaments things that really have never been done before all wirelessly you can bring motion music all sorts of synchronization with smartphones and just a whole Internet of Things vissa that was a little bit on you know the technology and how many prototypes have gone through took him about a year about a year to put together and yeah it's actually really cool like I was really surprised at how well it worked um I loved how you know they were able to kind of run you know the different colors over the board and sort of show me like how each bulb lights up and it was just great like it was it worked really well yeah so there are crazy talking to the people that actually like worked on it yeah I know it was a deeper they brought over because you know obviously they have to go through the manufacturing process to get the small you know retail version of it so that prototype that you saw is like what they brought of the house is this huge thing and it's a lot of things going on on but it was amazing i was really neat technology with you know this they're calling a power ring where it's you know it's this loop that you would clip into your tree like if you had a tree that was taller than i think they said five feet you in like the middle of your tree and then it would light up all the bulbs from the top to the yeah which is I mean it's really cool like it's really good technology of course it's not going to be available this Christmas but there thanks Chris next Christmas yeah that you would get all your stuff by next Christmas and I really liked like they were saying in the video one of the things they did was they really listen to their backers and at the start of it they only had glass available and glass ornaments and then a lot of people said well I have kids or I have you know I have animals and pets that are you know love to get in my dream jerks yeah yeah like I've cat jerks like just like stuff off me okay your cat jokes began and so so they listen and they actually put together what you saw in video the one that was really glittery was a plastic ornament that would also work with it so it was really cool and it was really nice pillow talk to them they're super nice guys I just I really enjoyed kind of seeing what that technology was about and as a skeptic like I mean when I saw the Kickstarter video myke I feel like this could be manipulated in some way like the lights could be made a little brighter you know like and and it's real tough with Kickstarter because sometimes you watch these videos and you're like how much of this is real and how much of it is you know to either doctorate or otherwise like kind of out of 100 takes this was the one time it worked perfectly yeah you know so it was really nice ville actually just see it functional and working right in front of me it was really cool so I actually backed it this morning after seeing it and like I felt really good about was like okay I'm we're back I kind of want so maybe a great Christmas gift what's only 69 bucks and so it's 69 to get a version that is not Wi-Fi enabled so um you get the the loop and you get the 12 ornaments for sixty nine dollars and then 499 you get a Wi-Fi enabled one where they're gonna have an app where you can control lights oh man not an off that's great yeah that's super cool and they did I mean I'm sure somebody some company is gonna have like lots of interest in this like some Christmas lights company or whatever i'm sure they'll have you know like very strong interest is really cool and I think a lot of people would really enjoy this I would kind of a neat way to light up your tree that's right I like the charger thing i like the charging that loop yeah I want that what that day it's really neat and it's it's bigger than I thought it was um but it also was a lot more subtle like I feel like you could put it in a Christmas tree land it would camouflage in pretty well okay so oh yeah that's it's called aura powered by aura you can go check it out but thank you to the team over at aura for for coming over and and showing me the technology I know that that's all it was a little bit of a hike for them because they're out by the beach so so G Drive especially on a friday in Los Angeles so I appreciate that and but yeah so that's aura I say obviously back it because I actually put my money where my mouth is and backed them this morning so I was very skeptical but now i'm a believer pretty neat yep I think it looks great I'm bakit I like that technology and actually that it's pretty affordable too yeah like I was expecting it to be like oh it's 199 for the starter kit cassette that always feels like the end really prized point for a lot of stuff on Kickstarter that's sort of tech based or it's like 200 bucks is the get in you know are like 150 or you know Saudi hero was under 100 bucks a--'s yeah for nice the one I backed I got like four bot I got like four boxes or something oh nice oh it's like if you're gonna you know go big or go home yeah that's I'm a Kickstarter guys I'm a Kickstarter fiend yeah it's very every week I'm always telling you get a box and you're just like was it your Kickstarter's we don't even cover on this show that I'm like I just back this I just back this like I back lots of stuff so but i did back this i decided to put my money where my mouth was and I back to this morning pretty cool so thanks sora are you ready to toxin user feedback yes all right let's do it last week we asked you guys Suicide Squad right that's gone yeah to use the hashtag tds squad to tell us whether or not they got the casting right and everyone said yes i will show you who are pretty much an agreement with it which is pretty cool even the creator of Suicide Squad didn't write to us but in an interview the guy who created the comic book was like he was he was very happy and pleased with casting he thought was really good he said he was really impressed and felt that Warner Brothers was taking his property very seriously by casting these major actors and all the roles he thought that was awesome I'm so it was really neat i read that this morning and i thought that was cool that he was so excited um lady be excited to have margot robbie play Harlequin yeah yeah i just saying all right I agree so one of them would they say so Rick wrote to us and said excited for Will Smith hope he doesn't pull another Hancock hahaha by the way Jake horny is of john mcclane and he's going to be Kyle Reese I know he's I am well aware that he's going to be in the Terminator movie that I'm still kind of ignoring yella you got a lot of hate for some of your jai courtney it was one of them jai courtney i actually may be all ok alright what else we got I'm also Leo Rosen said I personally think that the Joker should have that should have that awesome man bun of Jared Leto's tds squad hashtag 10 out of 10 movie cast yeah she's a guest eyebrows hashtag Cara Delevingne yeah she does have the best night Ross in the universe yeah sure it's pretty good but jared leto does have the best man but i will give you go we're gonna go man bun and eyebrows all right I think um I think that's a really good comic book series that we should start man bun and I browse button browse yeah I I dig it um but those are our those are our two main ones and then also we're still collecting your TD 100 tweets oh there were some really good ones so any of you've been leaving comments about what you what your favorite moment and all of tomorrow daily whatever yeah we've had some really good ones yeah we're gonna share them with you at are intercepting through we have more so shifting through and then we're gonna make producer Logan's stay up all night one night to comb through every show we've ever done to find every one of those clips we like to make him stay up late and not have a social life as often as possible yeah so this is another opportunity that you can help us out with yeah very true and of course it's time for a very last piece of user feedback this is our phone tog refer of the day so I hope I get this right Jai Courtney it's not from Jack well this is from growl I think that's how to pronounce his name i hope that i got it he says hello guys my name is Zhao Gustav Gustav oh I'm sending a picture of a huge ant I found while practicing tennis in a club here in Brasilia Brazil it was taken with my note 2 cell phone say hi to the Brazilian fans I love the show by hey Brazil look at crazy ant that's a giant ants wow I feel like doing really good photos like you can just write city it is very macro it's super good boom boom that's great ya know it looks amazing I just I was like some of the best fans like all of us like some of the fans that have come up and to me and just fans in know as I say fans in general they're really good at being fans of everything you really are like whatever a Brazilian chooses to be a fan of like that's bonus that's literally grey because there are such good fans like I'm not joking this is super serious like I have a friend i have a friend whose families from Brazil she lives here she's like anytime she's gets fanatic about something she's like number one fan like she doesn't mess around like she's serious yeah so that makes this guy my favourite viewer now it's my fav ish ly yeah um but yeah high Brazil hello all of Brazil all of Brazil not one person not just one or even just Rio de Janeiro nobody that's all yeah even the people that hate the show in Brazil even if you hate it fine I'm still saying hi to you hi we like you anyway we liked you anyway um if you guys want to send in your phone tog raphy to be considered to be featured on the show you can email us
