hey guys it's jay's two cents and you're watching the Friday October 19th edition of tech addiction and we're going to talk about why the daily mail says owning this makes you a girl so the Daily Mail is reporting that iPads are taken away your masculinity they're reporting that the sales of man purses for the ipad are on the rise see they're attributing the need for men to carry around the latest and greatest tablets and technology and that brings up the iPad and apparently iPad type sling and fanny pack type devices are on the rise amongst men whereas they say women don't even feel the need to carry an iPad so feeling a lot more feminine already so this week Britain's court of appeal has ruled that Samsung has not infringe on Apple's iPad patents and patent if you weren't aware says that the rectangular design with rounded edges is something that Apple has apparently patented and pioneered in the industry who would have thought the Apple actually engineered geometry go figure anyway Britain's Court of Appeals is determined that Samsung is not in violation of any of apple's patents and that Apple is hereby ordered to run ads on its website as well as its TV ads in Britain stating that Samsung has not infringed upon its rights and to issue a public apology so if you're in great britain i want to see that ad send it to me i would love to put it up on tech addiction because a public apology from Apple over something like this would just be golden so speaking of Apple apples in hot water again I am so sick of reporting on Apple I'm sorry I apologize but she just it's like it's almost like a train wreck it's like Apple versus the world sad bear in lawsuits with motorola samsung on many different fronts and now apples being sued by one woman and that woman owns this eyeball you see she's a digital artist and she took this photo and she made this photo lot of people thought that this was an apple generated image but it's not and they've been using this to demonstrate the retina display on the new macbook pro you may have seen it I saw it but it turns out that the woman who this picture belongs to never gave Apple permission to use it really Apple you just think you can now steal people's stuff huh you you you think you can patent geometry and now you think you can steal eyeballs I'm terrified now that my iPad in my iphone are going to steal my eyes at night what's interesting about this article though is it reads that Apple obtained the image from one of the photographers agents in New York but Apple expressed in writing to the photographer and the agent that they did not plan to use this picture in any of its add material that they simply decide wanted to use it for layout purposes I really know what that means but anyway they decided to use it and now they're in hot water and chances are this is going to become a very valuable photograph because I have a sneaking suspicion that this will never go to court it will certainly settle and you know if Apple had to pay 10 million dollars for this it's just a drop in the bucket right they could have one of my eyeballs for 10 million dollars so in my last episode of tech addiction I talked about the fact that the Apple iPhone 5 is went on back odor ever since release has been at three to four hour week 3 24 hour week to be an awesome work there's been a three or four week delay through apple if you ordered the phone and I had ordered my phone a couple of weeks ago from verizon and they hadn't even taken my money yet what's funny about that it's the very next day they took my money and then I had a two-day tracking number and now I have my iphone 5 so I'm going to give you a little mini review of how i feel about this phone compared to my iphone 4s and i'm going to tell you right now it doesn't feel any better right should it have I don't know the 4g on it's awesome I mean look at the speed right here this is insane on the cell phone you see LTE right there 54 mega bits down almost 11 megabits up but other than that and the fact that it's really skinny hi I mean it's got a little bit bigger screen but as you can see right here shameless plug of my channel trains two cents subscribe today it's got a black bar on the bottom and on the top because most of the apps don't conform to the new four-inch screen so it's going to take some time for developers to update their apps to be able to tell the difference of what device you're on and to you know make everything fit I did see I I ordered the white and the bare aluminum iPhone because of us I was scared of the black iphone and the scratching issues but it didn't save me from the scratches I've got one two three four five six and that's a big one there seven scratches on this thing from the moment it came out of the box I don't care but it's just as I mentioned in the other video it's a prim principle of the fact that it's brand new it shouldn't have anything wrong with it so I'm happy with it but if you have a 4s and you don't do a lot with the internet I'm always on the internet I had to have 4g if you find yourself using Wi-Fi more than anything else and you just aren't anal about the speed of the internet there's no point in getting this phone there's not the 720p front-facing camera is nice because I kind of want to do some blogs later maybe get a little vlog series going so I could use that as a blogger put the slightly better front-facing camera the 720p front-facing camera a thinner lighter phone one that scratches easier and 4G or just not worth the upgrade path the only reason I did it because I was able to sell my iphone 4s and makeup like eighty five percent of the cost of the phone so it was kind of a no-brainer in the end it ends up costing me like 50 bucks for the phone so it's not that big of a deal but if you were to go out and have to keep your iPhone 4s and pay out right the three hundred dollars or two hundred dollars which ever you get I don't think it's worth it I really don't not to mention the build quality on this thing is not pristine like they advertised it the 4s feels better in your hand and feels more solid and that's all she wrote so a census up in the northern california area of Silicon Valley that's the San Francisco Bay Area if you weren't familiar did a recent poll on the average salary of some of the largest technology companies in the world for instance in Silicon Valley got google you've got apple yet facebook you've got Zynga they all are based in Silicon Valley so it's very competitive for companies to be able to keep quality engineers so Google is decided in order to stop companies from poaching its engineers you know apples banana pets other map engineers Facebook has been after some of the front page design engineers and they've been successfully stealing talent from google so Google's decided to fight back by just raising everybody salaries last year they did a ten percent across the board raise and right now Google has the highest-paid software engineers of anybody in Silicon Valley and more than likely of the entire nation because the average software engineer salary at Google is 128,000 and some change and that's just an average at an airplane flying now get away and we got a helicopter so the average salary of a software engineer at Google is 128 thousand dollars and some change to put that in perspective the average software engineer salary in the nation is only 92,000 so you're talking almost forty thousand dollars more annual to work for Google than to save you know somebody else in the nation Facebook comes in at second at one hundred and twenty three thousand dollars in change an apple comes in third at one hundred and fourteen thousand dollars in some change now this is average salary people this is like a base salary come in working as a first-year engineer you can make that much money I'll be right back okay so I just put in my application at Google and here an IT engineer or you've got any sort of software background or even just you know I t and networking I suggest you apply Google chances are you can make some serious dough so Google's really out to make their Chromebook more affordable and a bigger staple in the mobile OS market by reducing the price of their Samsung built Chromebook they've reduced the price to two hundred and forty nine dollars and for that you get a 16 gigabyte hard drive it does have an expandable memory slot where you can add more memory for you know putting more files or programs or whatever that's two gigs of ram and it has capability of running 1080p at 30 frames per second they did say that was games or movies but you know this thing is really small only comes in at two and a half pounds it's only point eight inches thick and I was just at Best Buy and it happened to take a look at it and it's very impressive it's very quality build I don't know what I would use it for but maybe if you want something that's very light mobile maybe something that's kind of like a macbook air but you don't need as much power it's only 250 bucks and I think that this might be a pretty good bye but Google really wants to make the Chromebook more affordable and I think $249 price point is definitely affordable so in the first episode of tech addiction i mentioned to you that AMD had mentioned that it was no longer going to be making performance desktop processors when pile driver was released we're going to take that a step further today because rumor has it the AMD is getting ready to lay off twenty to thirty percent of its staff AMD currently employs over eleven thousand four hundred employees so we're talking over 3,500 people potentially losing their jobs because AMD just has not been able to compete first it had manufacturing problems where it couldn't keep up with man then it had performance problems where it couldn't keep up with a Speak & Spell and now we've got just their stock is plummeting into the ground we got a RM has cornered the mobile market AMD couldn't get its foot in the door you've got Intel that's covered you know everything when it comes to personal computers and their xenon processor has just been creeping and creeping and creepin on the opteron processor and there's just nothing AMD can do to stop those two trains from plowing them into the ground so it's official now if you have AMD band and chip JumpShip getting your d me row for your life because AMD I have a feeling within the next five years if that is no longer going to be around it's going to be bankrupt it's going to be gone that's it so that also means if you're looking at building a computer I suggest you buy your Intel products now because when you have a major competitor if they ever really were there's no longer in the scene prices only look at guess right there's a competitor gasps like how much we pay so halo for one of the most anticipated games of 2012 is due to come out next month and Microsoft is pissed because somewhere along the line this copy of the game got free got out and they don't know where the security breach was but if that wasn't bad enough copies of this game have now been appearing all over the peer-to-peer network scene so Microsoft wants to find out who leaked this and they want to find out what type of prosecution they can pursue on this so they're using their own personal security as well as local law enforcement to try and track down who initiated the leak and find out what they can do to hold them responsible because people have been saying already that they played the game they've beaten the game and it's popped up all over the peer-to-peer sites so Microsoft's pissed speaking of games I'm going to be starting a brand new series coming to first week in november i'm going to call it game addiction i'm going to be talking about the latest and greatest news when it comes to games on pc console and i'm going to let you know everything that's coming out let you know how it looks and I'm gonna tell you everything you need to know about the world of games I like gay alright guys that's all I got for this week so we're gonna end this the way that we always do and I'm gonna bring you technologies dumbass of the Week this week that dumbass is Timothy Clarke you see Timothy Clarke walked into his local Walmart and said I'm gonna get me a Fivefinger discount on some video games yep so he went over into the electronics section and somehow got into the glass case and he stuffed 26 xbox 360 and playstation 3 games in his shirt 26 he's not a big dude that's obvious that's gonna show man so anyway he stuffs him in his shirt and then he kind of tries to meander right out the door and walmart security stops him and he started to put a little bit of a fight and tried to get away but it was pretty much pointless because you see Timothy Clarke is the dumbass who decided to try and shoplift from walmart 637 dollars worth of items because not only did he have 26 games you have to xbox controllers in there as well for those of you who game on console you know xbox controllers are not cheap on the shop with a cop charity event there were fifty off-duty police officers working at Walmart that day earning money for charity Timothy Clarke for trying to shoplift a Walmart on a day where there's 50 cops present you're a dumbass alright guys so
