on today's show a company that isn't facebook is also working on Wi-Fi drones a room that can take you anywhere in the world you want to go get what kind of and smart hair that's pretty much it it's it's smart hair weird tomorrow daily greetings citizens of the internet welcome to tomorrow daily the best ski talk show in the known universe i am your host Ashley scale Jimmy's always on Monday kill anonymous freshly after this weekend of extreme media there's so much stuff to watch gonna say you it's like extreme coach ello the man good to go outside that much between game of thrones of daredevil some photo uh Silicon Valley last me on earth yeah mad men it's like it's all coming down but i'm done now and we can actually talk about not in the world so let's do that let's do that's at the headlines okay so we know facebook is working on internet drones we talked about that like a couple weeks ago its crave it yeah which is really insane that there's gonna be I feel like this is now going to be a trend after reading this story because there is now another company working on internet drones so I have this dystopian image of drones flying the sky like giving us internet it's so weird so this company quark ssin has completed a test flight and they actually have video of this it's not just them saying at a conference like oh hey like we did this this is their sky orbiter drone and this is actually a model so it's a small model of what the actual drew these are like big drunk sober we talked about the wingspan of the Facebook drone it was like the size of a Boeing 737 the way is serious yeah so these ones are pretty similar to that like they have really big wing spans this is where they did it they said they don't want to say where because they tested it in a secret location ooh because I the country there there the Portuguese government is like we don't like this we don't approve of it so they I don't know where exactly they did this test but this is the video of it and they said it went really well they they said that obviously they had kind of a makeshift runway and didn't really have like optimal an optimal setting to do the test in but they said it went well enough and they were able to beam down a Wi-Fi signal which is very cool all right um and they said that these drones that they are planning on they want to keep them in the sky for weeks months or even years these are solar-powered drones the same as face and they they did get information to optimize the prototype but they didn't spend a whole lot of time in the sky I think because they didn't want anybody know really that was kind of what they were doing so and they actually their CEO thinks that mass production of these could start in four to six months which is pretty soon and that's like a Kickstarter four to six months delivery and then he also thinks and this is kind of unfortunately I guess for quark ssin he thinks that he is they're going to have to move their company either partially or entirely out of the country to be able to actually move forward with these drones because a lot of government sub kind of frown on this like they're not real keen on the idea that you know we don't want kind of these drones flying around in the sky giving giving people internet access I don't it's like I kind of understand because I'm sure there's a concern of like espionage or or hacking them and then like crashing them into stuff but yeah I there's a lot of countries that are not too too thrilled about it so they're saying they might have to leave Portugal how do they expect to keep them in the air if Portugal doesn't want them in the air yeah I mean well they want to go to another country where the government's like more willing they want to do it in a different country realistically not Portugal well yeah I mean it might have to end up being that they go to a different country and then and only do it there but I mean there are other countries I'm sure where they wouldn't move their company but they be able to take the drones there and say when we'd like to offer you the opportunity to have these drones bring Wi-Fi to people who otherwise can't have internet never say how good the wife is from these things so I've been hearing a pretty varied range on speeds like I think a lot of them are kind of like LTE speeds like beso got pretty okay pretty okay like they're not you're not getting like you know 2g it's not so you're not gonna be so sorry like it's but it's not it's no google fiber so arts a no fios it's no no fiber internet but it's I mean it's it's very reasonable pretty okay and for a lot of these sort of underserved areas they're not going to be running around with a whole bunch of you know Galaxy Note fours and iphone 6 plus is they're going to have feature phones that are inexpensive kind of these like entry models that you see from Microsoft and like Windows Phone and then Android how kind of these like emerging market devices so I think that's kind of what you would see all right which is totally usable then so there you go cool well that's uh yeah so it's Facebook and then these guys yeah also google right Google's named Project loon with the remote control balloons that given that's the worst name it's it alone hmm it makes me feel so whimsical it's kisses of the balloon right that's the okay still dumb all right so let me tell you about let me tell you about a singer plural all right no plural let's take a plural very clever name was as far as getting a Singapore and it's about it is a convention celebrating design so we have one thing that came out of this that really like that impressed us and it was actually a booth done by Airbnb if you don't know that is an online being be a bed and breakfast thing where you can have you can like book somebody's house in or like an apartment all over the world everyone just anywhere pretty oh they decided to show that off by showing you one room that could be any number of rooms oh ok so here it is it's it basically what what they have here is they designed this one white room that just has a bed and a couch and a TV and it's all white but they use a projector to project that what it would look like in different locations oh so they do a lot of exotic locations it's really cool yeah they do they do there's different stuffs the first stop is Bali okay see tropical images bamboo screen and the ocean outside your window then they go to Malaysia then they go to Paris you can see it's whopping two different locations then it's pretty cool yeah it looks like a little Hut on the outside you go to Paris and you can see the Eiffel Tower outside then you go to Tokyo they're sliding screens it's just a creative add it doesn't look like they're like trying to make this like a like a destination I yeah but you can see there's the room without any of the projections on it and then when they see the projection be isn't for you look there's crazy that's assume that's Bali hello honey but yeah there you go this is so it's basically just to show off Airbnb and these are real locations right and these are actual places you can like book on air B&B which is I like that I think that's pretty awesome right so there you go it's just a creative way to do advertising but it's also kind of like a cool look at how you can use future tech I like that too would you put my bedroom I was gonna say like would you put this into your I would love to have something like that in like a bedroom or the living room remind would be messed up i wouldnt try to be like fallout horror take a bolo stole your like I wanted just clown faces like nine would just be mine would be like what I relaxin kales nightmare fuel just like nope you can't sleep in this room well that actually brings us to our hashtag a day which is TD stay and the question is exactly what we're just talking about if you could put this in your bedroom what would you have it brought look what would you have these projections what's your job what would you want to promote would be like the dreamlike room that you could say now a lot of people would probably expect me to say pizza but i would feel saddened by this and wouldn't be able to eat any of the things around nights can't do it so no mine would probably be something terrifying like it would be an alarm clock for me okay it would be you know how that we should we talk about the thing that projects a light or not really well imagine like i have sometimes get have trouble getting out of bed imagine if i woke up and everything was clown faces horrible scary my dental look look get out of the room running into the shower you're right i'm ready to go so I think I guess my officer answers clown face that is a very that's a very interesting alarm clock that I think says a lot about you what about you i think i would go with okay kind of a weird tangent story i'll try to keep it short went to this restaurant one time and i think it was called Atlantis and on the walls they had they I don't think there are projections I think they're actual like screens that were built into the walls and they had three different areas you go to you could go to Atlanta so you could go to the the Serengeti or you could go to gosh I don't remember the third one but it was like a living the one that I was in with a Savannah so it was like you sat down to eat and the Sun would rise in the Sun would set and you would see animals that actually live in Africa like walking through go to the water hole like everything you see lions like chasing after gazelles and stuff it's a very realistic depiction of that world and I thought that was so cool at the I'm i want to say a guy was like 16 when i saw this oh my god so much better but I feel like that would be so cool to be able to see like i love the Airbnb idea of being able to pick a city but being able to watch it may be from the outside in real time like where you can watch people like walking or a real time would be cool like a live feed yeah like a real-time satellite feed from like inside a different place in a different part of the world so it's like today I would like to be in Australia and then it's like you hit the Australia but and there's a live feed of the for the windows that show you like what's happening right outside like in Sydney or something I think that would be really cool so i would go with like live webcam public web cams all over the world where you could like pick different locations and it would give you the interior that would give you an idea of like what the architecture was like in that city in that place and maybe you could also pick a time period so you would say like i would like to stay in the edo period in japan you could go way back and you stay in these like big elaborate sort of houses and it's like the time you can see samurai training out in the yard and like all this stuff like that would be awesome so time is sort of a time machine you didn't have a very short answer no I did it wasn't like clown face and no to wake me up now I'd also like to interject that mine could be fire to everything could be on fire wake up and scared cuz everything's on fire see I'm telling you it's limitless TD stay tell us what you were you'd say I really love that idea is so funny to me um okay so the very last one this is smart hair it's all hair wear and okay I great transition I responded uh the same as this as you did where you're like okay like not sure sounds a little weird but this actually has the potential to kind of be something cool like I thought this was sort of neat so Katie Vega is the researcher in charges she created a hair extension with a capacitive wire inside of it so you can use these little hair extensions as a touch input for your smartphone so notice as she's touching it you see the phone is noticing which one she's touching so one two three okay waiting for the applications okay so she's gonna yeah so okay mortgage ok so you can it has okay it's got a remote touch sensor there's like a barrette that has an Arduino controller in it and bluetooth so that you can send the commands to your phone and basically they have three different locations on the hair extension that you can touch like three different sections and based on how you touch it so if you just give it a tap maybe it activates an app on your phone and then maybe if you caress that lock then it will do something like send your location take a selfie record a conversation like do whatever you program it to do so like here she is taking a selfie with her a pair this piece is like some spy stuff right here like you get you're in a situation you just like Oh mr. evil guy what's your plan exactly mr. record record the whole thing it's like that's crazy anyway mr. Bhalla makes you look flirtatious to have to like do all that stuff that's crazy ok give me get one anymore so yeah so it connects there say she's saying that they already tested this at a conference in Atlanta people were able to try it and they were able to take selfies with it and so it is an actual functioning thing it is this is a real thing on no word on commercial-use so things like I have a feeling like some government is you don't like by this lady like not the hair it's just to buy her never develop it like in house like I was like put her in some sort of secret facility somewhere I can't see many of my lady friends being like oh I want to touch my hair and like take pictures or whatever I mean it seems like it's not really answering a prop but I do like the lace I well spying there's there's of course like a spy like safety safety that's the big one where it's like if you don't feel safe in a situation it might not be the best thing ever to like take your phone out come on so this video you would program maybe you're you would program your hair if you moved it in a certain way to text a friend say I'm I'm at this location here's my GPS coordinates I please help or you would send it you could text night I think it's some countries you have the ability to actually text 911 I think we do too in certain states this is another one I feel like most of our audience would have a better would have better ideas for yeah we would yeah like mine was immediately lightly like well you know you're you're you're drunk at a club and you can't like you're so drunk you can't drive you just call your uber or touching your hair well because you're already like oh hi I'm so good wasted like or whatever I would say like if I'm stressed out like maybe you pull on your hair a little bit or you're just like frustrated and then all of a sudden like a massage place comes there like we noticed you were stressed out we're gonna give you a massage see we're not good at these no I'm not good at these you come up with one's better please thank you all right so that's a that's hair where hair where is a real thing is the passage of hair wait I forgot is she trying to sell these I no not yet okay they're just basically prototype she's a she's a researcher at the pontifical catholic university of rio de janeiro so she's this is like her big thing so i right number one used safety number to espionage those are your two options really i think number one use SPS safety in espionage you need to get out of a drop point you just use your hair weird um all right guys we're going to take a quick break we will be right back and when we come back with a kind of a back of a racket it's not a crowd fund it's actually a voting thing so I found this though and I thought it was interesting and we also have your user feedback from last week TD Brutus and our photog refer the day so don't click away it's tomorrow daily so a really brief update on that poor poor drone that was swatted out of the sky by the monkey in our break video the drone did not survive the terrible attack but the GoPro did that monkey has wanted now in 15 states yeah he's on the run if you see that monkey please call your local police officer he's armed and dangerous I feel like this is a little different but I feel like we could give them maybe votes because that's what they're looking for a looking for votes in this situation so I guess we vote or don't vote ok mozart don't vote ok wearables smartwatches really big right now Apple watch pre-orders happened last Friday people make a big deal out of it a lot of wearables trying to kind of write on the Alpha watches coattails and pick up people who are like I don't want to have to watch but I may be interested in something else that sort of suits my needs so there are a lot of people who decided not to get an Apple watch so that's where didja tox comes in so this company is called digit ox digit talks digit rocks oh ok gotcha digit ox yeah just shocks um kind of weird alternate to a SmartWatch because in essence it makes your actual watch that use right now into a sort of SmartWatch so odd clever yeah this is pretty clever so it's a little disc and it attaches to your any watch that you have any any regular old watch that you have and you can so you can make your favorite watch kind of a intelligent watch and then they have this you have this ability to kind of do a deep dive into your apps and say I only want notifications like if this happens or so here's that the app so it'll say like only if I get the out these are the only notifications I want to get if i get messages from these people calls from these people emails from these people so and you can also keywords so it's like maybe you get a regular email from somebody with I don't know I'd like a daily rundown of something at your job that you don't necessarily need to look at right away but you want emails from them if they if it's not that email if it's something else you want to make sure you're notified you can get those notifications you like program it very specifically to like notify you so you're not getting like that fire hose of notifications where it's like your wrist is constantly buzzing okay so that's that's the gist of it is that you would be able to get a message and it vibrates your watch yes the disc has like a little but it's not like it changes the screen of your phone no it's just a little vibrating notification thing yeah okay how much is it ok so the voting thing is actually that's it they're not selling it it's not a crowdfunding yet it's part of a contest i guess like Virgin Mobile is doing this contest called pitch to rich it seems like a little shark tank kind of thing where people pitch their ideas and everybody votes on it it's online I think it's a UK contest and so people can vote on good ideas there and like I said they basically say two things their goals are they want you to be able to digitally detox on your smart watches and stuff they're like basically this is kind of the notification that most people really need with a SmartWatch they don't need to get every notification through their wrist like you really only want the most important things and that'll help you not look at your phone as often serum say yeah yeah like and then then then the other part of it is a lot of people have a favorite watch and they don't didn't want a SmartWatch they want to be able to use their watching you a lot of people have a favorite watch I would say there are a lot of people who wear a watch that have a favorite watch and wouldn't necessarily be interested in upgrading to an Apple watch but might be interested in something like this do a lot of people have a watch uh well it depends may depends on where you are in the world one and then two it depends on I mean like most people I know my age in this area don't watch a--'s like my husband wears a watch every day but he doesn't have any interest in a SmartWatch so how can this be how can how is this better than if they had created an app that only makes my phone vibrate when i get an important message so i think how is that how is that different especially since if this vibrates and I was like oh I got an email for my boss that says fired and that's the key word that I'm looking for how does how does the watch vibrating make any sort of difference than my phone vibrating whereas when it vibrates then I look at it I think how is that better I think it's a really good point and I would say I'm the only thing I would argue with is that a lot of people might not have their phones handy like if they sit at a desk maybe their phone is like you know across the desk or maybe they have it in their computer bag a lot of people especially in the UK a lot of people take the tube a lot of people walk everywhere so they're constantly using messenger bags things like that maybe your phone would be in there as opposed to in your pocket so i would say in that way in your purse in your messenger bag your computer bag your bag pack whatever you can keep your phone in there and then that way you know if something important comes so if you don't carry your phone in your pocket and you also wear a watch it's very nice yeah and you also wear a watch but you also need notifications with specific keywords because you get message that much right then this is the device for you exactly sorry it's cool I wanted to bring this to you cuz I thought you would have interesting things to say about it which you do I think those are really good arguments I think that's really it's very specific I feel like they very much or something out here like it could make sense there's some potential but you gotta have a watch already like yeah well maybe I mean this is like dude this is like almost like half tech like this is almost I feel like I'm sure this you provide you with a cuff you could probably do it with a thicker bracelet cuz it doesn't look huge so I mean you could probably put it on one of those things like you wouldn't necessarily be beholden to a watch but I think that's sort of what their marketing it is so would you give it a voter now I don't know any of the other contestants of this contest but I mean regardless but I don't because I'm gonna do like on shark tank I don't really know much about watches nor do I wear a watch typically so I'm out i think i'm with you i think i'm with you i also it's nothing much cool tech it also won't it feels like this will be coolin long to me it feels like this would be really useful in areas where people a use a lot of public transportation and have their phones in bags and stuff like the fact that you're having a list of all right that's it right it's very nice like that this is a very narrow use case for like I would say it's a very narrow use case so I'd say no I can't even think of messages that again my phone vibrates when something is up like you know and I can tell it like hey don't alert me unless this happens all right and then not only that when it goes off uh-oh my girlfriend is you know is leaving me then I can look at it and be like oh noes your fire emoji hey Dad emoji but there are apps that allow you to really kind of dig deep into whitelisting and all that stuff so I I say no but I did think it was interesting enough to bring on the show Logan your vote no he says nope three nopes we know it's pretty harsh but ash wait maybe they came up with a new use for it i don'ti there needs to be another use their something is missing I'm out okay fair enough so I let us know what you guys are called again sir you can look it up it is called digit digit ox digitana but talk like the clock yeah like tick tock not TLX yeah it just took Avengers okay guys it's time to talk about what you think about different things that we put up on the show it is time for user feedback okay so last week we saw the adorable dog Brutus who had for prosthetic legs yeah pause thetic legs I know this is the second time you've tried not a jit Rottweiler no all right uh so you guys had some really great ideas on what you would also like to add to Brutus's repertoire of abilities to make him sort of a Superdog all right looks really good ones um I'm gonna try to pronounce this and I'm sorry if I mess it up um do me so says I would get Brutus a pair of sleep things fangs that inject sleep serum into bad guys leaving them knocked out for the cops holy crap I love that Gregory wrote in said I think brutish should have telescoping legs so he doesn't have to jump up on you lick your face he could walk long distances in just a few steps and he fetch kites while there's still here I love no that's like um Mega Man's dogs like google gadgets like go go gadget dog yeah but mega mans dog already has those extended legs elbows name is um Tim please somebody's screaming at us right now exam as much Michael wrote in and said I would make Brutus like spyro the dragon and give him fire breath I don't get what was the goal here to make him kill people no he's a super dog he could fight crime okay sleeps here on me see you looking so it sounds like the judgment it's like Batman like you he's making the judgment call to burn someone or alive and he's a dog put them to sleep and leave him for the cop again also scary house is very no just actually made a really good point not an upgrade but said Brutus still needs a poop catcher and sent us this which I did not realize that is a real product poo trap it's like a harness on a dog with a bag on the back which man if you're putting your dog in that we need to have a talk you guys I like the idea that he has to like carry it around oh my god okay so that was a pilot I think that made me laugh good perfect Frank wrote in and said hashtag bat dog he looks like Batman's dog give him a bionic batwing so when he gets tired of walking he could just fly away I can't the flying I get all the fine i was flying around but no i'm n-not to reuse the back I like it I like the bat one and then very lastly I thought this was very sweet Neil wrote in and said I would give Brutus a hug and now we all feel good about ourselves except for calyx he has no heart so how it works dude uh-huh and then brew did you give Brutus a hug and then Brutus wouldn't bite you with his sleep fangs and knock you out and a run away see I want to make him more deadly he's just a sweet guy I said I'd make him camel I'm gonna love him alright alright so are very macho very lies piece of user feedback as always as our phone talker for the day you're gonna like this with pictures from Tim Tim wrote in and said good morning tomorrow daily team I'm living an old beautiful city in a northern part of germany called lubeck by the way this is the city where marzipan was invented 00 Japan mavi pan I always liked the old charm of it but never really discovered it completely so when my exchange partner from France came me and my friends were on a small tour through the city when we were on the st. petri church tower chip I took this picture of the Holston gate in the bottom right which will be able to see see it a little bigger it's got the little peeks and then there's a little arch sir he said the only thing I added was a gradient map in Photoshop for the black and white filter quote unquote I hope you like it best wishes and a successful show Tim he took that with an iphone 4s yeah that looks incredibly cinematic well done it's such a nice picture that's like 12 frame maybe yeah I like he chose right with the black and white yeah it look really old and got really nice like foreground with the beam and then it was like the gate and then all the way in the
