this episode of TechnoBuffalo is brought to you by lynda.com what's up everyone welcome back to episode of ask the Buffalo Umberto's John ventures to show you could ask me any question you've got from the world of technology and sometimes outside up this week we're gonna talk about the moto 360 what devices I bring with me when I travel some Windows Phone 8.1 devices and watchphone would I pick if I could pick any of the current flagships out there that's a buffalo it's gonna get started so first question comes from Edgar uge gawa who asks it's not a secret that Android wear is half-baked as a bunch of flaws do you believe that moto 360 could be different if so how could Motorola make the Android wear experience better concerning only software so first it's not a given that's just an opinion on a lot of people really love Android wear we felt that it needs a lot of time to get better so the thing about Android wear is that Google releases software for it and really not allowing any customization options on it right now at all so the same experience you've got on the G watch think you're gonna have on the gear live the same thing you're gonna have on the Moto 360 though it will be circular and have Motorola zone watch faces on it doesn't that it's gonna be pretty much the same experience from the software standpoint so not much they can do about it if you like Android wear now you'll like it on 360 if you don't then you're not gonna like it even though it's on arounds very cool-looking watch next question comes from our friend Josh hey John when you travel for press events what are the products you most travel with the products change from event to event or they're just as simple as bring in your smartphone and tablet and that's it so you see when I travel I give the view editing on the road have to bring my MacBook Pro I bring a couple phones that kind of stuff now I don't have to do the video editing on the road I can just send it back to our home office and Ron or Mark and handle the video editing for me so I think is my bag a lot lighter I'll usually what I'll bring is make sure I've got a cost internet connection so I'll bring two phones on different carriers usually it's either AT&T and t-mobile or Verizon device that I can tether with if necessary the phones that I bring it really sort of depends and doesn't matter that much I'm using him as Internet devices whatever phone I'm using it my time plus another device I'll bring a backup battery usually when the movies use pack something like that or a juice tank something got an external power I can plug in necessary I'll bring in a battery pack forever phone I'm using and that's really it I've been traveling a lot with the surface pro so if asked do any video editing which usually I don't as I mentioned I just be able to have it tapped I can do a little bit more than just an iPad and that's really all bringing it up travel I'll keep it keep it light keep it funky fresh the next question comes from Twitter ads yeah me underscore 630 net jump for Lakers have you tried out Windows Phone 8.1 yet and if so what are your thoughts yes you've absolutely chatted 8.1 from the very first day of its developer release until now I think what Microsoft is done with Cortana is absolutely awesome so first the voice sounds like a normal person doesn't sound super robotic you can speak to a conversational you can learn what you do and tell you jokes and do impressions you can sing to you I think Cortana's probably Brad say the best Assisting going out there right now as far as what it can do I think sort of tosses depending on the day between Google now and serious Microsoft absolutely nailed it there Developer Preview now as folders hello what they did with the folders you also still get the live tiles inside of the folder to determine how big they are inside of the folders and the location in the folder the Microsoft did a really really awesome job there in fact I tried to switch to Lumia 1520 last week I use it as a daily driver right through cheese though with getting my pictures from Dropbox on to the device took like 40 steps I was a little more complicated than at the time for but I think Microsoft sent a really really good job of the software I think it's getting very very very close to me a complete even race as far as features with Android and iOS

picked the g3 I picked the g3 90 out of a hundred times I love the camera I love the feel I love the screen I love the speed I really love everything about that device I think it's absolutely incredible as probably my favorite phone that I've reviewed over the past year and perhaps they were phone ever so I would pick the g3 ii it would be the m8 in third with BBS five the last question
