networking inclined you can send us a message on Twitter either to me personally at Jonna for lakers or the company at TechnoBuffalo ask you a question use hashtag ask the be usually will pick about four questions each episode up this week we're going to talk about how to extend Wi-Fi covered in your house some stuff about the HTC One and lastly we're going to talk about whether or not this is the last generation of consoles that's actually going to have physical game discs this is asked the Buffalo to go and get started first question comes from user at the sock I think that's how you pronounce it at John for lakers hey John do you think the iphone 5s will have a 1080p screen or better I think for sure we are going to see a 1080p screen or retina display to or super retina s extra retina display awesomeness retina square everything aside to call it I do think we were gonna see the resolution upped in the next generation iphone not saying the screen is bad on the iphone but just to say spec for spec look what we've got it sort of become a marketing gimmick 1080p is definitely going to be the way they're gonna have to go we see it in the HTC One the droid DNA is becoming commonplace now so Apple wants to keep their market chair they're gonna have to up that screen I've been testing that HTC One for awhile absolutely love it I have fallen in love with the screen it's actually awesome so I can't wait to see what Apple can do with 1080p user I tronox who asks hey John give any idea how it can extend my Wi-Fi coverage in my house well I can tell you what I do I've got an airport extreme base station you can also use a time capsule I've got it right where my internet comes in and throughout my house I have to airport express is set up they're super easy to set up you just plug them into a wall you can do it from your iPhone iOS device or through the web portal and they will essentially extend your network dinner as the house it's not going to work to extend your network across the street if you got to get internet down to your basement if there's a room that's just not getting good service it's gonna be an awesome way to go it is a little bit on the expensive side each Airport Express costs around 100 ish bucks there are less expensive options out there linksys has a few you can also check on router extenders internet extenders on things like that and see the best option for you that's what's worked for me and it's worked very well user Ronaldo RDS asks hello there John hello Ronaldo if you think that the HTC One is future proof no nothing future proof do I think its two-year proof yes at least as close to the phone can be this thing has 802 11 ABG and an AC something that is not even close a commonplace in fact I can't even test 802 11 AC cuz I don't have anything that runs on it got two gigs ram it's got a really fast quad-core processor don't get caught up on the number of course because most of the applications out there didn't take advantage of quad core yet don't even think about how eight core is gonna perform I'll tell you this if I was going to sign a two-year contract right now I would have no reservations at all about signing my name on the dotted line for an HTC One so for that helps answer question these are Mike pickle on ask do you think optical discs are dead after the ps4 xbox 720 over they decided to call it sing his games are too large for most internet plans and flash storage is really cheap we expect to have game shipped on USB keys well the cheapness flash storage is definitely up for the beta Clifford tried to buy an external flash drive or if you want to put a solid-state drive into your computer certainly it can be less than affordable but thumb drive prices are certainly coming down I do think this is gonna be a laceration a console that we're going to see physical game discs you look at most games somewhere in the elite / generation seven gigabytes that's a little too much to be able to download it over the air at least for most people it can be condensed and it could be expanded when it gets on the console let's say we're looking at 10 gigabytes just score to make a round number that's gonna hit not only a lot of data caps sirs need to take a long time to download but the lifespan of consoles we're looking at about 10 years for each console so now at a 10 years of preparation of internet speed should be much much much quicker the idea of game shipping on thumb drives though is kind of interesting certainly there's a lot of piracy issues that have to be developed I don't think we're gonna see that sort of middle ground really ever become mainstream what I do think though is that we are going to see games go strictly online perhaps even streamed got fast internet speeds streaming games could be pretty cool that was a long answer to saying yes I think this last generation we're gonna see physical disks which should also be telling about what the future of blue right might eventually be so let me take a minute to thank our friends and sponsors at audible.com they are the leading provider of downloadable digital audiobooks and spoken word
