is this thing going do I look over there okay did I have any idea that YouTube was going to be sort of a success story for me no way absolutely not there was no indication whatsoever that anything i did on youtube was going to gain any sort of attention or views and it's definitely been fun while it's lasting yep plus it's a way to meet chicks my wife my wife here why did i do tech edition have you watched any of my videos seriously have you seen my office have you seen the amount of crap that i have the hell with that it's it really is just pathetic the amount of crap that I've accumulated technology and computer was so I sort of figured why not just do some sort of a show that I could be proud of and it gives me an opportunity to look like I have an excuse to be surrounded with all this stuff without it being just completely pathetic I figured I can't be the only one that's interested in this stuff there's got to be at least five or six more people out there that care about the things that I care about so I went ahead and did the first tech addiction and it was a success I started getting all sorts of comments and messages of people saying I love this show I love the show so just do more give me more give me more and that's what I did why did I stop doing tech addiction I get asked that a lot and I've honestly lost a lot of subscribers for people who just really loved tech edition and that's what they loved about my channel it was one of those things that I feel was just way ahead of its time it just wasn't getting the return on investment it was one of the hardest things I had to do on my channel was to quit doing tech addiction which I honestly love doing here we are now closing in on twelve thousand subscribers and it hasn't even been a year yet Jays two cents I just drop my mouse Jay's two cents tech addiction headquarters has not even been around for a year and I figured it's time to give the viewers back what it is they want and what it is they love and when I tweeted out that I was considering doing tech addiction again it was like Michael Bay just invaded my Twitter account and did his explosions and things and for about two hours straight my phone and my Twitter account and my emails just didn't stop ringing and even if I'm the only one watching and we're gonna do it bigger and better than ever and with that we're gonna go ahead and get things rolling here with tech addiction episode who gives a crap we're back we've got your crazy tech news it's Jays two cents and this is technician hey guys you're watching tech addiction it's jase two cents and we're back and we're doing this thing again if you ever sometimes feel like you just forget how to do certain things like why not holding this bottle of water but we're back and we're doing this same tech addiction once again I feel extremely rusty I kind of have no idea what's going on I'm kind of freaking out a little bit here because there's a lot more you watching then there was last time and I'm a little nervous it's kind of scary it's hot in here oh my god we're back and we're doing this thing and if you remember some of the old tech addictions I had a nasty habit of recording on Apple news so what's ironic about that is Apple's kind of been out of the news until recently and that's how we're going to start off this edition of tech edition Tim Cook but current CEO of Apple was recently summoned to capitol hill in washington DC to account for its tax practices the IRS thinks that Apple has been just a little bit dodgy when it comes to its tax practices because it is currently holding 102 billion dollars income assets and revenue outside of the country with all this growth and investment to the best of our knowledge Apple has become the largest corporate income tax payer in America last year our US federal cash effective tax rate was thirty point five percent and we paid nearly 6 billion dollars in cash to the US Treasury we pay all the taxes we owe every single dollar we not only comply with the laws but we comply with the spirit of the laws we don't depend on tax gimmicks we don't move intellectual property offshore and use it to sell our products back to the United States to avoid taxes Tim Cook basically looked right in the face of the United States Senate and the IRS and said we're not breaking any laws and we're going to keep our 102 billion dollars outside of the country until you start enticing us to bring some of that money back you're probably one of the coolest inventions I've seen in the last decade is the 3d printer a 3d printer is a device that is able to take strings of plastic and melt it and form a physical object out of it you can make statues you can make jewelry you can make just about anything and Americans were polled on whether or not they felt that 3d printers or something that they should be allowed to own sixty-two percent of Americans felt that they should be allowed to own a 3d printer twenty-nine percent felt that they should not and nine percent were undecided now that doesn't seem like incredible news until you consider the fact not only can you make cool little knickknacks and things out of it people have actually been able to make a plastic fully functional operating gun and because of that the United States government has been fully involved in going in common skating gun blueprints and 3d printers of those creating guns so those same people who were polled about whether or not Americans should be allowed to own 3d printers were asked Americans should be allowed to print 3d guns and the pole was a little bit different forty-four percent felt that you should be able to have the right to print your own plastic gun fifty-three percent felt that you should not 3d printers are becoming more mainstream what are your thoughts on this do you think you should be able to own a 3d printer or do you think you should be able to print your own 3d guns is the hot topic that's been around for quite a few years I'd like to hear so on tuesday the 21st it made microsoft held its reveal event for the brand new xbox console named xbox one a lot of people have been asking for my opinion about this device I wanted to see if there were any last-minute press releases regarding the xbox one maybe Microsoft want to clarify a few things and I'm glad i waited because microsoft has put out a full Q&A on the Xbox website regarding the most common questions asked after the reveal event before I get into that I'm going to go ahead and talk about my two cents regarding the xbox one I like the concept of the media control center I think it's kind of cool that you can control your TV and your xbox with gestures and hand movements and throwing gang signs you know particularly like taking their fingers and stretch it out and be like what up I'm controlling my TV is my hood but can you imagine the remote control wars that would be happening in front of the Kinect currently if you have an old school system like I do or a Logitech Harmony remote whoever has the remote their God their King and they're controlling the system but now you're gonna have people fighting over and doing all sorts of stuff to try not to hold on xbox and people are gonna start fighting and punching the xbox I could know what happen and is gonna explode I personally don't do fantasy football our fantasy basketball or baseball or any of that crap i'm not a huge sports watcher I don't need to have ESPN Stats up while I'm watching TV the fact that it has a built-in blu-ray player is kind of nice because it would allow me to eliminate a whole nother component inside of my entertainment center unfortunately it wouldn't really reduce the amount of components i have because it's not backwards compatible with xbox 360 games which means i'm still going to have to have my xbox 360 in their entertainment center taking up more room than my blu-ray player is no backwards compatibility that just sucks we don't know what pricing is going to be yet we don't know when it's gonna be launched and we don't know what countries it's gonna launch in first so when they talked about the actual availability they should have just said it's gonna be available later this year at a price we haven't mentioned in countries that are yet to be determined first and foremost I think one of the biggest things people want to know is is xbox one backwards compatible with 360 games and the answer for that unfortunately is a disappointing no pc xbox feels that in order to get better gaming experience with future hardware they felt that they had to change entirely the way that the drive works the way that the developers code and they don't feel that xbox 360 backwards compatibility fits in there this is something they could have done but I feel that for whatever reason they want to just completely alienate the 360 from this brand new media device that's what i'm calling it a media device that can play games in order to get the most amount of money out of you guys players want to know what's going to happen to their old gamertag on their xbox live account what's going to happen to their achievements their gamerscore well fortunately all of that stuff is going to transfer over to the brand new xbox one system and it's not going to change anything you're going to have your achievements all your xbox 360 achievements your gamerscore off everything that's in your account now you're going to have with xbox one which raised me into the next question do you have to have an xbox live gold membership to use xbox one their answer was no you don't need it but of course there's going to be a lot of features and things that you use on xbox one that are only going to be available through gold membership what I thought was really cool though as they did go on to say that one xbox gold membership does work on both devices simultaneously so you don't have to have a separate membership for one and for 360 they were asked straight up about the always-online requirement and they said no you are not required to have the internet at all times to use xbox one however they kind of dodged this question a little bit because they did go on to say there are some game modes and some features that are available on Xbox one without an internet connection but they recommend having an always-on internet connection because of the ability for xbox one to be able to read your thoughts and watch you through the Kinect and spy on you while you sleep and watch you do all your dirty deeds through the Xbox Kinect sensor I would assume that when they say certain game modes we're talking about multiplayers not going to work that's a given probably any of the gesture stuff or any of the voice commands that's probably not going to work through just like Siri on Apple they're going to try and get as much information and much as much money out of you as possible by simply saying well you gotta have this to have this they did end it by saying we'll have more information on that later okay guys last but not least it's my favorite part of the show and
