about that we'll talk about that that is weird and an article I saw in the newspaper the other day says that no one's using the Internet I'm not really I don't barely even know what it is tomorrow daily greetings everybody welcome to tomorrow jelly the only geek talk show on the internet cuz let's get her head exactly pretty fresh I mean cnet just launched a month ago yeah I know it's great that you know now there's a place for for tech yeah like God like on this like thing where people we can like log in and do stuff like it's pretty cool I'll weird is a little bit weird but anyway we're gonna do our new show for you there are some super bizarre things that we have to talk about like that Sony thing is like throwing me I don't even know where begin with that but let's uh let's hit the headlines here so IBM has this really weird I guess it's a phone a cellular phone but it's it's not it does other things it's called the IBM Simon personal computer and they're calling it a personal digital assistant like a they said it's PDA is the you have to carry around a big computer well its kind I guess like I mean it's kind of a like little computer with a screen on it so it's like a celly it's like a cellular device and we've been hearing about it for a couple of years but it's finally I guess we're finally gonna be able to buy it I mean if you're rich but like it's about like eight inches long so it's pretty small yeah that's thing I need tiny and it only weighs 18 ounces so it's like a little over a pound which is super light and you're gonna be able to like use it to have like Oh your office in your phone so that yeah like it's everything on your phone it says that you can make and receive phone calls you can use it like a fat yeah but I have a computer what but they like they said you could take it with you and like do your business other places like you don't need to take your IBM with you your Macintosh you don't need to take that with you you can do electronic mail on this thing and something called cellular pages which I don't even know what that is so cellular pages but that's the battery which is like really small yeah that's a tiny little battery but I was expecting him to use like D batteries or like sees like a few C batteries but yeah you can like touch it and there's a pen that you can like pick things with but it runs it's not daus though it's like a graphical user interface they're saying right I guess I can see how this be useful for business people like I guess they have to do work when they're not at work yeah I mean there's a quote that I saw attached to this product was that it take quote takes all the gadget tree of the modern business executive and puts it into one unit so that sounds very fancy yeah that's really strange it looks it but it's a but it's a phone yeah it's like a cellular phone it's a phone that you take and then it connects to like places and then you make calls I'll tell you what once i get a cellular phone then maybe i'll think about getting something like that what you're gonna be waiting a long time not a businessman so i don't need it well here's the thing bellsouth cellular is gonna sell these and they're gonna be really expensive like eight hundred and ninety-nine dollars with a two-year contract or a thousand ninety nine dollars with no contrary he's never gonna spend that much money on now on a businessman thing but i mean i get like all in one knot is fine but how often I mean I know I send a lot of faxes but like do I need something to go out and send like well I'm Howard and about having my day no I can wait till I get home and use my computer like you said in my fax machine talk to people yeah just pick up the phone and call somebody yeah so yeah super weird but I mean hey if you're interested it's supposed to come out like later this year august i think they were supposed to release it in May but then they said no we can't we're not gonna make that so they said August yeah you know I can I talk about another thing that nobody saw coming yeah so you we all know Sony you know the guys that make your like your headphones yeah my woman i go i love my walk yeah we're walkman um well they decided to make a video game console they would like you can play video games on like a super nintendo yeah like a superintendent but it's all there's it's called the it's called the playstation so it's as the sony playstation oh yeah what's crazy about it is it's gonna use discs like cds well did you compact discs yeah i know i don't know i don't know how that's gonna work out but I mean it's not gonna be a cartridge anymore so now i can have to blow in it yeah what you but I like to like you know wave you a drop a card you like I don't feel it's always safer like we just see you you can't scratch a cartridge yeah that seems pretty good see these are cool I like yeah I mean they're all right so I get I guess we'll see but uh yeah we but it's different than you know the Super Nintendo and the Sega Genesis so I mean it's like why why is Sony getting into this it's so he's weird so it's so strange we heard about it looks cool though look at that there were yeah that looks really perfect unbelievable yeah I mean I think those are pre-rendered like I don't think like I don't think that those are it's like a bug me at the cycled movie like it's okay I think they just made it and then they're like okay this is what we think it's gonna look like but it won't it won't look like that it's not gonna look like that do you think Sony's gonna get like into movies or something I don't think so I mean I never heard a while ago like there was it I don't even know if it's true or not but we heard like I remember reading somewhere in like I don't know like nin 10 don't read somewhere in some magazine that they were saying that like oh it's gonna be maybe gamepro like it was they said something like oh they're gonna work with Nintendo on a console but I guess that's not happening anymore no that's crazy well anyway this all this sony playstation will be out this year in Japan I don't get it for free we have to wait till next year the playstation playstation or playstation like place T playstation or playstation I have no idea what you're talking I'm sorry I'm just trying to figure out it for now it's like kind of weird so I one word so like how do you but I mean that brings the question I mean obviously heard how we feel but our topic of the day is a do you think this will have a chance you think the PlayStation is that the sony playstation will have a chance moving forward with like having it on cds instead of cartridges and what and going up against Sega and Nintendo which I already have a Nintendo I can't afford cavesson I have a Sega Genesis and a tenia and Anna Super Nintendo it's like I don't I don't need another console like I don't I don't need it oh yeah wow you're like rich well my parents like they do the thing where it's like for Christmas they'll say this one thing is for all three of you and so it's like yeah it's that kind of thing you're gonna get shows we did well we yell shafted on that so it's like oh you and your brother have to share this forever and then we end up fighting over it it's terrible um but I don't know I say too little too late I don't know I don't I don't it's gonna be tough I mean they're gonna really have to make something that we've never seen before I love those graphics I love the the way it looks it looks really really real well beyond real if it's so yeah um I definitely wanted sony playstation so that'd be fun next year next year the controller's weird do you see how many like buttons it is so many I mean what are you gonna use them for I don't know like my mind can't even process that many buttons is it I mean it well it's kind of close any SS the little bumpers like they have the ones on the top yeah but it has the ones on the bottom and the top yeah that is a little bit weird we're super weird um so I gotta talk to you about this article and I'm curious as to your opinion I saw this in the new york times in the paper the other day and I was super kind of scared because we're doing the show now with with Cena on the internet and this article said that no one is actually using the internet somebody's watching this I don't think so I don't think anybody's watching this because in the new york times they said the internet might be overhyped because they a lot of people are saying like Oh 20 to 30 million people around the world they're using the internet but what I read was a lot of experts think that number is way too high they say it's way way way too high like that it could be ninety percent less than that's like ten percent of that amount like two to three million right yeah no I mean I I mean like I can't what I use the internet barely I don't even know how to use like that got this thing so we get our like AOL disk or whatever yeah and it you get like an email an electronic mail but like who I don't know anybody I don't want to email anybody really they said ask your friends for their electronic mail addresses and I'm like why I talk I could call them yeah so it doesn't I don't know but so they said that it might the problem is is that there's about they think experts think there's like two to three million internet hosts out there and so the argument is how many people are accessing the internet from those hosts so they're saying oh and in an office building maybe it's ten people are accessing the internet from that spot okay but then a lot of other people are saying no it's more like two to three yeah like two to three people are accessing the internet cuz nobody else is nobody wants in and so a lot of businesses like people who are trying to like make their businesses on the internet I don't know how that works but I've got a lot to do besides email people so yeah maybe pen pal business look at a pen pal business can look at like places and go on AOL but yeah um you do chat room so you could talk about do the chat rooms i go to chat rooms sometimes ASL guys tell us ASL yeah so um but yeah I'd like I just I think it's really weird and they're saying that out of those two to three million hosts like a million of them might be like they're calling it a firewall like it might they might be firewalled which I guess is like an electronic so scary it's like an electronic wall that it keeps out bad people like hat and they're calling it hackers say hackers oh so they said oh this is to keep out bad people but nobody else can have that internet so it's there maybe it's only two million people see men have a firewall I hope so it sounds really dangerous like I don't know if we do or not but I mean I feel like I should ask all right well I guess not many people are using the Internet well they said there's no real way they say there's no real way to know exactly how many people are using the internet and that will just have to wait and see so we might actually like they keep saying like oh there's gonna be this big revolution where people are gonna do everything on the internet but it's like if this few people are using it like we might be waiting a really long time I know if the people don't adapt it I mean we're not gonna people aren't gonna use it yeah it's not gonna be very good so maybe use the internet I try it like try it I'm sure you I'm sure you've gotten an AOL floppy disk and you're in your mailbox yes I think it's kind of a fun hobby like I kind of just mess around with it sometimes yeah we have an electronic mail at the show which is pretty cool we'll talk about that yeah we'll get to that later so well let's do a quick break and then a commercial break and then we're gonna come back and we have a summer movie preview or really excited man there's there's a lot of movies coming out so many good these look amazing and then we also have into it we're going to tell you all the cool stuff that we really like so stick around its tomorrow daily welcome back to the show we're back and we want to talk about all the cool movies that are gonna come out this summer someone look amazing like we can't wait so let's talk about our summer movie preview all right let's get started okay so first off uh we have a speed speed yeah it's a

the next movie that we have coming out which I am pretty excited about is the Flintstones that comes out mates yeah they're like cartoon no they're doing like with real people they're gonna do it with real people and I am super excited because Elizabeth Taylor is in this movie I guess and low oh she obviously would like I mean it that it means it has to be pretty good right yeah I guess she's a legend so I am really jazz and I used to watch tips crazy this looks cool and I watched it when I was a kid so like and they made it look like they're in the Stone Age which is crazy so I've like that's really exciting to me like I really hope this doesn't become a trend where they turn cartoons into live action I mean wow hopefully this will be just kind of that's really weird yeah cool special thing I don't know yeah it does look it looks good yeah it looks really fun and I'd like I'm just I don't know I'm pretty excited and that like a look he skates off the dinosaur just like in

everyone walks all over him and he has like kind of a sad life right so why is it called the masculine way he finds like a mask i guess like in the trailer he gets a mask and it makes him like this weird like oh not a cartoon character be looks like a cartoon but he's a person and he does like all such a wacky cartoony thing oh ok that's crazy it's uh yeah i don't know how the girl in this is
