hey everybody I'm Hollywood and welcome to the buzz report the show about the tech news that everyone is talking about this week Google really knows who you are the iphone 4s is like an app that prints money and the bestest xbox ever coming soon but first is the getch of the week the gadget of the week is the droid razr maxx arriving in verizon stores this week the razr maxx is pretty much the same as the old droid razr and by old i mean the one that came out like three months ago but the razr maxx has a bigger battery but it's not actually physically bigger it's just a new battery that lasts way longer but the phone is still almost exactly the same as the one that you already paid 300 bucks for three months ago but seriously you didn't want all day battery life and 20 hours of talk time with your other razor anyway that's just like a special thing that only some people want right no everyone wants that man this phone kind of pisses me off the battery thing is cool though it actually really is cool maybe all phones could have that someday anyway now for the news google introduced new privacy changes this week that unify all the company's various services so Google can now share information about you across all of its sites and services so gmail ads will know about your YouTube videos picasa ads will know about your search history maybe the ads in your phones Google Maps app could be based on your recent check-ins on google+ the policy will not include information from google chrome books or wallet however you can't opt out of any of these changes you're sharing everything across every Google site now and that's just the deal soho you know internet freaked out I admit my first thought was what's the big deal this actually sounds like the kind of unified integrated business strategy that Google has needed for years I mean what a good idea but since the people at Google are such robots they got all nerdgasm II about the cool stuff that they could do once they know everything about you and they put it in a blog post so obviously everyone freaked right the hell out including members of Congress listen Google I know that you're planning to make a digital cyborg copy of me and your secret headquarters any day now fine it's only probably half as skeevy is everything that Facebook is doing but maybe just try to keep it on the down-low PR wise like just tell me and everyone that it's for streamlining and efficiency and then stop talking also don't let my cyborg copy kill me that would not be cool interestingly Google actually missed its quarterly earnings expectations this week for the first time and who knows how long not so with Apple however holy Hannah they printed money this quarter 46 billion dollars in revenue and 13 billion dollars was pure profit all pretty much thanks to iphone 4s the revenue blew away even apples expectations in fact they even sold a record high number of max this quarter 5.2 million that explains why my facebook feed right now is suddenly full of people asking hey who here bought Apple at a hundred bucks want to buy me a yacht I did not in case you were wondering stupid ethics moving on if weird things were happening with your gadgets or TV the power and you're building stuff like that don't worry it's just death from above the biggest solar storm in eight years pummeled earth this week causing aurora borealis across Canada Britain even as far south as Oregon the storm was said to be even stronger than originally predicted in fact flights near both poles had to be rerouted for two days as a result of satellite and radio interference also my ATM card would not work yesterday and I'm convinced that's why I'm just saying all right some quick headlines from the tech news this past week new rumors suggest a new Xbox coming in fall 2013 the xbox 720 will reportedly be six times more powerful than the current xbox and twenty percent more powerful than the upcoming wii u sadly the manners of all those foul mouth misogynist homophobic juveniles on xbox live will be zero percent improved at long last the co-ceos of research in motion stepped down this past weekend the news went public right in the middle of the extremely close playoff game between the New York Giants and the San Francisco 49ers entering that most of the tech media was otherwise occupied and yeah at this point I cared all exactly enough to retweet the news about half an hour later good luck new guy anonymous says it's targeting facebook again the loose consortium of the planets hackers said Facebook is going down on january 28 my sources tell me that's unlikely mainly because even though anonymous managed to take out the CIA the Justice Department and the FBI websites with their op mega upload hack this week Facebook is a whole different ball game compete Facebook is big and that's a buzz report for this week everyone I'm Mollywood and thank you for watching
