Tomorrow Daily - Dress made from beer and bacteria isn't an April Fools joke,Ep. 153

2015-03-31
on today's show facebook wants to give remote locations access to the internet with drones and lasers and april fools is tomorrow but we have a roundup of some of the jokes that people are going to be playing tomorrow so that are already online today and a dress made from beer everyone rejoiced people who've wanted a dress made from beer party of one samar daily greetings citizen to the internet welcome to tomorrow daily the best geek talk show in the known universe I'm your host Ashley scaled Remy's always killin eyes what up kill I was worth at pier dress today speaking of which I know I did too and then that would've been super awkward even like showing up to the Oscars in the same gown so it's your birthday it is my birthday Ashley's birthday today and Logan producer Logan and I decided we'd get her this a tower of cupcakes very delightful I can't wait to eat all of them at the same in the same city you have to wait till the end of the show I do have to wait till the end of the show we got really exciting um April Fool's like we got a little bit of a head start on that we did so I assume that's one of the things you guys are here to see so let's should we just get started do it so Before we jump in April Fool's gags there is something that is not enable fools gag that actually a few people have asked like please tell me this is an april fool's gag unfortunately no but i'll explain why it's totally fine and you should be that word it sounds like an april fools thing it kind of sounds like an april fool's joke but last week at facebook's f8 conference they announced that they had successfully completed a test flight of a drone that is going to offer internet to people in remote places so this is kind of an interesting concept we've seen you know Project loon that Google's Project to bring max remote places internet access via balloons like remote-controlled balloons yeah it's crazy so this is via drone so it's similar but kind of different um this they did a small scale on are unarmed no unmanned aerial vehicle I was probably on arm too um it was a small scale version of the actual craft which actually is kind of big it's uh it doesn't weigh any more than a small car but the wingspan is as wide as a Boeing 737 so it's like really like the wingspan is huge it look like they're gonna need actual permits to fly this oh yeah of course and there's safety issues and feasibility issues and all this stuff but the cool thing is is these will be solar-powered in the future like when they actually if they if and when they do launch these things into the sky they'll be solar powered so they theoretically could be in the sky like four weeks or months which is kind of neat um they would the drones called akela akela a qu IL a acute aquia and they want to have the first test flight the summer of the full-size model so they did this little small-scale version they said it was successful they wanted to test for aerodynamic stuff like that and it'll fly our kind of go around at about sixty thousand and ninety thousand feet up which is pretty high up there and the idea is that it would be equipped with these like sort of lasers that would be mown an impt like a backbone of internet access beam down internet to remote areas in in the world so I know Project loon a lot of project loons kind of processes they were saying we could give internet access not only to places that are really remote but we could also give it to places that have suffered a catastrophe so if there's a tsunami or an earthquake or something like that they could bring these balloons like remote control them over there and give internet so Facebook kind of wants to do the same thing obviously what imagine part of it is a little bit because you know they have not collected everybody into Facebook they want all six billion people using facebook like that and giving them internet access when they didn't have it before it's probably a good way to do that get some goodwill going then go they gave me internet access maybe I'll sign up for facebook um but yeah so pretty interesting no no launch dates no no word on like when this might actually be happening it could be years from now it could be good being a couple years I don't know it depends on again safety testing feasibility testing they really have to see if this thing is something that could be sustainable so but really interesting and you shouldn't really be that terrified about it because if you're watching this show you probably live somewhere where you will never see one of these Facebook drones even if they did end up going into into service that's that'd be cool if they just beamed tomorrow daily into your house if you were loved in a remote area yeah just a daily I'm like that and like remote like huts and houses so get like all over the place and then maybe like this is what the Internet's for forget it I don't want it take it back Facebook unfriend I'd like to unfriend my entire internet are you ready for a push oh that sounded like an April Fool's joke but uh so obviously April Fool's is tomorrow depending on when you're watching this episode maybe it's today b-but we already have a head start at some of these things they some people get them started early so that they can on April first go april fools so here we have three tek ones to talk about the first one is from google and has to do with google maps because they always screw around with google maps they did a Pokemon one I think last year this one is is you can play pacman inside your your browser for google maps you can even do it on your phone work lovingly calling this pack maps but you can find your neighborhood and play pac-man as if you know yeah it's basically that movie pixels but not terrible so there you go that's not your first one so you can just try that Google Maps and then there'll be a little pacnet icon you click the button and it turns your map into it into pac-man so there you go so that's the first one very simple very easy very fun yeah you're you know anybody can enjoy this next one is like a press release from Samsung I kind of lie but a brand new phone and it's not just a phone it is a knife this is the Samsung Galaxy blade edge it's the new phone they're making fun of themselves which is what I like about this one because they have that edge farms yeah so this one they have this whole press release for it see there's a there's little factoids but there's a whole press release and they like really get into it they're like they're like uh renders your knives obsolete it can it can cut food and has all the latest features it has a diamond edge it uses analyze it analyzes your your hand to find out how much weight the the knife needs to weigh fireproof waterproof as a finger protection so you don't cut yourself foldable handle it's ridiculous come on they really think it all the way through a tiny get samsung galaxy cleaver yeah they're saying that you scan your thumbprint on the phone and then it will register that it will never cut you because it'll know when it's your head everything they think it all the way through the press releases is pretty funny but lastly let's talk about how far Google went okay as far as to fake a press conference I mean obviously it's a video principle but it but you can hear like people coughing but they have a press conference for the google panda oh look look at this press conference they did there's even like people live their phone yeah it's so great but this is the google panda it's basically kind of like your little mobile ask google thing you're okay Google you look at it and you ask it like how what what are nimbus clouds you like I love you but here's what Nimmi was clubs so it's like oh that's good for anyone um I love that they uploaded this to their Google Japan youtube account with subtitles in in Japanese when people are speaking English and in English from people are speaking Japanese this is fantastic yeah look they may they mimicked a press conference so perfectly they iLike again when they described why why and how it works they're like well you know the fur is so that it's shockproof and you can drop it on the ground and they're like black and white because and foot and furry because you know all the threads of technology buying together it's great then they also at the end introduced well we're releasing the the google panda five and the much larger google panda six so there you go that's great those are the first ones that we found if you guys find any other ones maybe hit us up on twitter at tomorrow daily yeah yeah that's a marketer send us some and that's a hashtag of the day Oh where's Kiwi all right TD fold you can hit us up on Twitter you can even send us an email send us a link to whatever it is that you got either fooled by her you thought was really clever we're dying to hear what you find and and and catch on the internet because there's always lots of it tomorrow and also one of the ones that i saw that was a week in the making was a whole bunch of websites picked up on this there's a rumor going around that like oh there was a leak that spotify was going to get sold in exactly one week from you know today which was last Wednesday they're like it's going to get sold exactly one week from today for 14 billion dollars and then it turned think that was like they had to like set it up a week in advance okay oh it's exactly a week from today then people kind of picked up there was probably ones you know what are you I know you hate april fools I mean for deep-seated reason I do but I don't know if I really like ones that are just kind of like they're gonna sell Spotify April Fool's I call him on that wasn't fun Google bit ly real effort Google and Samsung put some real effort into it they're they're great like when they were explained they had like they had the panda bear on a stool and they're like its shock resistant because we built the fur into it and they have this little robot we're she's a panda bear off and it falls and it goes like this and i also have like grids of what the panda bear looks like it's so sensors but this said have fun with it thinkgeek is obviously every year they have always have the best man and not only do they have like some really cool items you're like wait they should have that than they make and then they make it yeah if you like say I want I'm game for that stuff if you finally work look here it is here's I'm pushing the bear off the grid it's so high tech I love when they put effort into it maybe ours tomorrow we'll have effort in 20 if we do one if we do you love did you know who almond is tomorrow daily I don't know I'm stupid let's go to the next one alright last story I'll make it quick a few years ago there was a wine dress I don't some of you might have seen iJustine wearing it there was like an AOL feature on it but the this wine dress was made of like fermented wine and bacteria and the same designer and same designer and same scientists as a visual artist and a scientist collaborating together on this made a beer dress so this dress is actually this is it this is a dress made of beer which is kind of cool so here is how it works there the material they're calling it Nana lowes microbial cellulose it uses fermented beer and bacteria and hair and what they do is they add this bacteria called assetto vector to beer and that makes the bacteria convert the beer and a solid fibers and it's going to be so so it makes these solid fibers now the wine dress had to always be moist it always had to be like really and it it was kind of stinky it looked like fruit roll-ups it was really gross like wet fruit roll-up so it was kind of gross looking this actually looks relatively wearable and apparently there are no odors there is a lot of flexibility in this like the other one is very skin tight like it's basically like I mean literally put some fruit roll-ups on yourself and make a dress and that was what it was this is much more kind of accessible to most people they say oh I could wear that like I might wear something made out of that type of material you have any factoids for this because I'm wondering like how much beer it took them to make this did they not release anything like that I haven't said anything yet it's gonna be on display at the world expo in Italy so people can go see it and like check it out and they'll probably talk a little more about the process I know we get sent to the world expo I don't think so I don't think in Italy no um but they hope that be the goal of this as we like to do oh yeah yeah we got another goal the goal here side's art it besides art is that someday maybe this this process might replace really costly an aggressive agriculture like cotton so cotton is it an extremely large like crop you have to make a lot of cod and be able to make clothes and so it's a lot of aggressive agriculture that happens around it to just create cotton in and of itself and so they were saying that maybe in the future this might replace that and we all be wearing beer clothes oh don't worry and fear close tonight maybe we'll someday how do you wash it is this washable uh it seems like it's a fabric so I I don't yet it's a water it turns into beer that way she turns back into Barry what are you sure it was spilled beer on it that just turns in a beer it cancels itself out i don't know that's pretty interesting they're tackling that as a solution to to cut yeah like this did this team of this scientist and his visual artists are really fascinating like they they're just really interested in like this kind of process of sort of adding bacteria to different sort of liquids and seeing what happens and this is sort of one of the things that they kind of struck upon and again disclaimer everybody I did as much research as I could into this this broke like like days ago so I'm hoping that it's not an April Fool's gag but you know who knows maybe it is I have knowing well if they have the video it's gonna be at an expo like nobody wins on this one like they had the wine dress yeah why wouldn't they why wouldn't this be real so I assumed this was I'm guessing based on the story I'm guessing this is a real thing make me a mr. Pibb dress oh that would be delightful or shirt shirt or suit you don't have to make it a dress suit I'd love to see you too mr. Pibb suit oh I'll be pretty good all right hip mr. Pibb we're gonna take a quick break we'll be right back we have a round of new releases some good ones this week and then we have your user feedback and our photogra for the day but before we go check out this this sheep herder that is a drone welcome back to the show everybody I you know somebody on YouTube just really briefly before you jump into new releases someone I'm YouTube made a comment of like I can't take these too seriously and I actually wrote back and I was like if you are looking to take people seriously you have come to the wrong place sir not to do it not here not here really not ever move along I'm sorry to have fun I said yeah inform there are people much better at being taken taking people seriously our viewers that watch that enjoy the show they get what we're trying to do here which is send a promotion I can't even take myself seriously you sir we're not do we don't do serious you sir are looking at the wrong show very true ok so it's Tuesday which means it's like kind of one of our favorite parts of the week which is we could talk about all the stuff that's gonna make our wallet card get to it new releases always when your voice cracks just was roll way to roll that just go with it I'm really excited for you this is an important time in your life I will be miss get a hunt down I gonna hunt a wolf or something like right it got a bear get take a ride on a bear uh so you like Metroidvania games right like 2d action sidescroller force yeah who doesn't so there was there's this great game called axiom verge I don't know if you've ever heard of it oh it's coming out today for ps4 they're gonna release it for windows pc though and also a PlayStation Vita later so keep an eye out for that but it's getting great reviews I have not played it yet I plan on it I fully plan on picking this up it's actually I think it's on sale if you're a PlayStation Plus member it's like a couple bucks off as a 20 of us totally metroid 100% like Metroidvania um and it's it's pretty cool there are some reviewers who like a giant bomb which never gives out five stars for anything gave this 5 stars she's pretty awesome i love it um yeah so this is it's getting great reviews it is totally a Metroid / kao slaves Metroidvania side scroller such a good good game highly recommended I if you love this type of game how much is it twenty bucks that's not bad totally reasonable and a lot of work went into it and it's not on pc yet but it will yeah but it will be um and they're these developers are just they are literally like the best in the game at making that type of game so what else it they may I assure you it's another game just like it's in the same see franchise but it was like it was a it was a while ago I want to say it was like maybe 10 years cause any touch of my indie games as I should be so um I kind of em not but I know about this I know about is a grace particularly good good pick Super Kick um and then also if you're single enough this comes out from mobile I came out a few days ago and it's actually getting really good reviews and I I'm very hesitant always to recommend like free to play in app purchase games especially ones that are from really big companies like Disney but Star Wars rebels recon missions is apparently getting really awesome reviews it's a platformer and you played on your phone yeah it's like a full-on platform watch you'll see it you'll see some of the gameplay see look it's on your phone look how nice that looks yeah it looks pretty good ours rebels and it's there's some in-app purchases but from what I've read you really it's like eight bucks to unlock like most of the game's content that you would need to like finish it and then on top of that another thing I really liked was and you guys will be really excited about this iOS Android and Windows Phone yeah everybody wins I failed on all three platforms and it's also available I think for like windows so it's in the windows marketplace like if you don't have either any of those smartphones but yeah I thought that was pretty cool that's great you know you haven't tried it out yet haven't tried it out yet but I actually when I saw the trailer for and I was like oh this actually wait folks is a lot of money by the way for a cell phone yet current currently see I disagree with that but i have a whole I have a whole rant about like giving developers the money that they have earned like making a game and so it depends to me how much replay abilities in the game and also like I'd give jetpack drive given jetpack joyride like twenty dollars at this point just like just buying coins and stuff because I'm like well the developers have earned my money look I bought I bought GTA on there like all the duties Final Fantasy debug it's free play so it's like you play it for free and a few if you don't want to pay anymore you don't respect yeah so and then also uh I don't know how many people are super jacked about this movie but furious 7 comes out this yeah so get in our cars it's all above film family family family family now let's jump this car from one building into another everybody that's seen its mind has been blown and I'm talking about out I'm talking about like I met up with this guy who's like this really snobby movie guy that I like that's my friend she loved he's like I'm telling you it is crazy he goes I've seen them all I'm telling you this is crazy Vin Diesel says this is gonna win Best Picture Best Picture Helen Mirren says she wants to be in a basket furious movie uh there everyone's saying the paul walker thing was handled perfectly I can't really think of a reason not to see this you have to go to the theater and see guilty movies every now and again to this is a guilty pleasure mood guilty pleasure movie I love Luda I know Luda look at this machine guns on the side of a bus all this as you're jumping out of planes yeah if you if you go see this you know exactly what you're getting I love it you want to go have fun at the movies and go strawberries show up Regas just everybody ever that is awesome and then the Fast and Furious movies not too for us to get to to distract on this have been getting better and better in their own respect I think starting to understand what they are I've seen none of them and i plan on an entire marathon before i go see ferry seven like this we can have a little movie marathons all the spoiler free yet it's about family I've heard that I've heard it's about family it's a bad family I am Groot this is also about family it's about fair you guys are our fam hey fam hey get my next day okay we r group okay so we asked you guys use the hashtag TD 64 to tell us what game would absolutely ruin you if it was available in a browser to play as opposed to a lot of responses a lot of responses and really good ones I have to say though if you have not yet played that that demo that HD demo it is gone Nintendo cease and desist that thing into oblivion the 40 mm Mario is gone I actually got into it with somebody in the comments in the YouTube but let's get to you all right uh Walter wrote i would want to play mario kart 8 in my browser multiplayer that would possibly caused me to OD on gaming oh my god would never end and never end yep Neil wrote in and said i would love minesweeper available for everyone to play so much fun I think I feel like that probably can't play that in a browser with that this is you learning that it probably does exist so at Michael wrote in and said and a couple other people did too mario super mario RPG legend of the seven stars i fully back and endorse that that one because that is one of my all-time favorite mario games that I feel is very underrated and nobody ever remembers it but I remember it it's a great game do you remember that game yes you're like malo and gino and like all it though it's really hard you made by square enix yes way to bring that back i haven't played it we do that uh and then over on youtube Michael one two three four to five to 11 TD 64 i would pick pokemon or mario kart 8 so another vote from our oh man i think the pokemon would be good too pokemon be gonna do and then Greg road on via email and said beam writer descent good show thanks but I mean if he wants it to be in browser probably is pretty good right there were some good ones on YouTube that I got into it with somebody that was like what game was that they were like oh someone would say smash brothers is available available I was like well no we were talking about in browser said someone tells him that anywhere ash brothers yeah 3 and I don't have a 3ds so I'd need to buy the game and the 3 d's i play it and then I'd need to connect to you but it's on the browser I just would be in
