and welcome to the twenty sixth episode of the TechnoBuffalo show I'm live your to house for today Sean ani editor-in-chief of the site and i'm joined by executive editor mobile Todd Hazleton everybody how you doing today Todd I'm good because you know usual yeah you and I don't ever talk before the show ever so now I have no idea how you're doing but I actually I listen to this one podcast called how did this get made and two of the three house are married but when you first listen to the show you don't realize that because the husband asks his wife and Harry today June and once I learned they were married I was like that's the oddest opening ever hey but just to be clear Todd and I are not married no not yet Christy might have some things yeah so we're back after a short break I what last week Todd was sick unfortunately and was not in any shape to be doing a podcast yeah but we are back this week and there's not anything going on in the world of technology nothing except for a million things my phones and I don't know how it works we're struggling we have so many we have today how we're gonna review them all bye I have I have no clue how you guys were going to get through all the room I mean Joey and his crew and that's why Joey stood out here is there in the middle of meteor view season and now all of a sudden fall has turned into phone review season yeah you're saying it's unbelievable how many phones are out there but and I guess just in general I mean we have so much stuff so yesterday I was at Google's meeting in New York see where we got to check out for the first time firsthand because they made the Nexus announcements online you have to see the nexus 6 the nexus 9 though we'd seen that a little earlier with HTC about last week I guess and the nexus player for the first time so it was cool to see them all together and we're really excited they actually should be arriving on store shelves what started this of November and pre night the Nexus 6 were open yesterday so that's crazy I forgot that you got to see the nexus player I've ordered one but I have not seen yet how was it oh it's so cool like so it was basically like set up in a demo station so they already had it on screen and stuff like that but um it was really awesome so you can search for not just like by movie but you could say like oscar-nominated movies for 2011 and it'll bring them all up on the screen so really cool stuff like that so it's not just searching like movies with the word Oscar in it it's smarter than that and then it has its own sort of app system so it's it's obviously based on Android but it has so like you know like PBS absence they're sort of what you find on like an apple TV right like you get your Apple TV apps there are these apps that are dedicated for that and a lot of them are games too which is cool because they work with that gaming controller and they also would work with just the remote that comes with it some of those games so I thought that was neat and I'm kind of excited to see sort of that app ecosystem grow and so like HBO Go wasn't there yesterday but they were like well don't forget that it has the chromecast functionality built in so you can always just cast HBO GO from your Android device to it anyway so it's just really cool kind of super robust platform I'm excited I don't look really great too I might want to pick one up myself now yeah i'm looking forward to testing out one real quick note to charles who just asked a question could you be a little bit more specific i want to get to your question but i'd like to just know a little bit more about exactly what you're speaking of on the problems so yes you you've now gotten Todd to play with the nexus 6 again everyone these are what we're going to discuss here today does not count as our reviews these are from momentary hands-on with the devices we have not the Nexus 6 we'll have more time with soon a droid turbo I'm not sure when we'll have more time with it but we got that we put up our market point yes yes so that's out okay California I played they have it but so we should have more coverage on us you know yeah yeah we should okay droid turbo looks spec-wise to be an absolute beast yeah this crazy um but hand-in-hand like having played with both of these literally sort of back-to-back day-to-day droid turbo is cool on paper it's amazing you know I love that there's a promise of 48 hours of battery life which is pretty incredible obviously you have to test that and it says mixed usage and stuff like that but there you go um but I didn't get to like play with the camera very much a 20 megapixel shooter on it so that's exciting but when I held the Nexus 6 I was like you know wow this is an android phone that I I really want um it's big but it's not I mean I'm a phablet guy I've been carrying the note for iphone 6 plus so to me I was like wow this is great but I know some people are gonna be like it's a little too big you know write the code name I was joking about this with Jacob actually like the code game with shamu so it's like a whale of a phone right but but it just it feels awesome it's got that same aluminum kind of framed that the Moto X 2014 has the camera I tested I was like shooting it briefly while I was playing with it seemed to be really really good they had some demo pictures on there that they'd shot Google at shot in New York City and those looked really nice to like zooming in it was really clear um I don't know and and lollipop looks really cool it's just like a total fresh coat of paint if you have a nexus 5 i'm sure you already played with it already or in some fashion but i think it just google set this to at Google i/o I think when they talked about it like they just made these like small animations like when you open up a nap or like do something and all just feels really fluid and alive and I think that's what I like so much about it so I'm very impressive what I've seen so far we saw the nexus 9 2 which excited to actually have our review 'not nearby but we can't review that yet we're just we're only on first impressions right now so we'll have to wait for for more information on that in the coming days and weeks yeah we have a like a double embargo on the Nexus devices we we can unbox them but we can't review them yet he's not yet yeah yeah so so yeah it's just it's interesting and you know I've never really seen it work out this way before that there were so many in the fall which almost makes me wonder if the phone companies are starting to think of these as holiday gift-giving items yeah and I think so in Google actually said yesterday they kept saying in time for the holidays in time for the holidays this is very much you know what was once a developer brand is so very much a consumer brand now which is really interesting how that sort of transformed for Google and I saw that yesterday the way they had the products on display around the room they had you know sort of like the living room here's our Nexus player and art and you know Google's partners can build off of that platform and then over here our watches and over here our phone in our tablets and it's this whole consumer ecosystem now you know they came out of just a couple years ago Nexus was basically just for developers can you can you imagine though trying to buy someone else's phone no I know that's what's always so strange about like holidays right like buy one get one free phones like I guess you know if you're getting your wife one and you could be like okay we're both gonna get it let's kind of it's kind of hard right you're gonna get a contract excuse me yeah I just I've always put I would not even from the contract perspective but a phone is such a personal item right you know because what if the person doesn't like iOS and you buy them an iphone and vice versa for an Android device or even in the Android ecosystem what if they're a samsung fan but not in LG Fanning you buy them a g3 right gonna have to know I'm never gonna go down this road you know the same with tablets I would I would never do this right my wife's been using HTC for a while now she's on the last year's mom m7 um so I know excuse me I'm still getting over this call I know that she would she's an android fan and she loves raised TC phones so I know that that's probably the rad i would go but i know it's hard yeah I i I'm I give somebody a gift card and say this is for a phone right but I would never go out and buy them the actual phone I just yeah I'd phones are way too personal I know probably one of the most personal thing do you have money right exactly exactly ayo because o most I mean people stress over these decisions I I just thought it would never even crossed my mind to try to do that but speaking of all these phones there was a very interesting tidbit of new stay out of Samsung do you want to obey audience in on that so Samsung marketeers down a bit and profits from their their smartphone division i think that's why you know in the past we'd hear like we sold 10 million 20 million you know galaxy x smartphones and this year was they were very quiet on that front and i think ultimately now we're seeing that in the latest earnings samsung said they're going to switch their strategy with their smartphones and i think in the past what we've seen this day they would sell you know 4 inch 5 inch 6 inches you know all these different phones at different price points you know like you have galaxy series then you have other ones like their galaxy s5 or whatever that flagship and the note and then other smaller versions in between and now this year I think they're going to consolidate that sounds like they have a new strategy about moving forward so yeah this is a very it almost seemed apologetic mmm their comment and you know that's what i'm reading into it it's it seemed very like okay yeah we know a guys we gotta change things which is fine you know what might have worked before it might not always work for a company but i gotta say I've been note for a year we just put up our review it is a fantastic device and the day if they stick to a strategy where they focus on these kind of products like that focus on materials and stuff like that i think you know we'll see a lot of really good things going on a samsung yeah by no means is jumping out of the game I think they're just there they're really focusing a bit which I think we can all agree they've needed for some time now but they have a screen size for everything which is cool I mean obviously I guess it's not sustainable which is what yeah there was one tablet release they did a while back or well it was at CES when I went to the samsung demo and I was I was getting so lost trying to shoot those videos because I was like wait which screen sizes this one there's three different right vice is running already here's the Galaxy Note pro 12.2 tab for Galaxy Tab 4 7 point oh and you know so many ya know so we're getting a lot of questions here several about Apple pay so I want to jump into those uh from Sean the man 34 and I know the answer on this one have you guys used apple pay ya todd has i have not had the chance go yeah so I've used it twice now and all I have two different experiences so yesterday I tweeted Apple pay depressed me because by the time the awkwardness and fear of failure of using my phone to pay set in I'd already paid and that was that uh mcdonalds where I was like I don't look how does this work you know I haven't used it yet but I'm just going to do it when I just held my phone up to the NFC terminal and all of a sudden Apple pay opened up it starts getting my fingerprint that was it today have to open the app yeah you don't do anything like you just got pulled the phone over it and with your with your finger on touch ID it's really cool but then today I was um same thing I went to McDonald's for a coffee and I went to do it because I was confident from the last time it worked so well and I tapped it and I wanted to switch the card it was using and that it kept fumbling like because I was I held it over the terminal and it had like my default debit card but I wanted to switch it and then when I went to switch it I pulled it off and like Apple pay disappeared and I was like ah and then I just took out my credit card inspectors I think that's what's gonna happen to a lot of people yeah well the thing is like if it's if it's not working immediately and you're not used to like I kind of just want to get used to it you like my fears there's people in line waiting behind you come on stop fumbling you know just yeah hey dude like how I look at people now that write checks right yeah same thing yeah I i I'm amazed how many people I still see writing checks that like my local Walmart I'm just like are you kidding me in my generation I don't think I've ever written a check for anything besides like rent hey I actually I used to carry check McClendon on when I was like 16 to 19 or so I had to check my wallet my checkbook with with me everywhere hmm yeah so I I remember those days we would get a weird write on a piece of paper what we are paying yeah so true it we were when we were at it when i was at an irvine we were going through a box of something of John's from his brother-in-law at the bottom there was a 45 record mm-hmm now Todd I'm going to I'm going to hope that you know what a 45 is yeah right I had to explain most everyone else in the office 1 45 s right I think there's a couple songs about this yeah but I was speed right it was the number of revolutions per minute Yeah Yeah right but yeah they're smaller records and they had a bigger hole in the middle and you had to put an adapter and I'm unless your record player had an adapter built in okay but yeah I was just like I feel so old right now I feel so old so follow me on that Apple pay question we have a to hear from Charles bayonets the the first one saying thoughts about Apple pay and problems with it and I asked him earlier in the show to explain what he meant by problems and he clarified that such as most retailers not wanting to take it anymore CBS's backing out and not taking it while CBS actually never agreed to it walgreens did the CVS and Rite Aid never were announced as retailers yeah I think the thing um that happened right is that where there were NFC terminals Apple pay sort of happened to work right like I think it works in didn't actually is New York City I haven't tried it yet but but these these groups like CVS and other companies are part of the merchant customer exchange mcx which i guess is is working on their own sort of mobile payment service using QR codes called currency and I guess so they have this consortium and the deal is like how you you're not going to support these other systems and I think so they just disabled it sounds like right like CVS I could they're no longer taking anything that would have accepted Apple pay because Apple pace or just worked yeah which i think is weird like I don't know and then but mcx says like the retailer's know what their customers want I think it's the other way around customers know what they watch give choice everybody but exactly you know I think in the NFC payment space it's going to be very much a whatever the customers the customers are going to end up choosing the winning format and this one I feel it's uh yeah I mean there's been so many format Wars over the years especially in a home video with VHS beta blu-ray HD DVD and so on which means I always back the format that loses yeah so whatever NFC system I settle on don't worry folks it's going away which I have not settled on one yet but I think that mcx is not going to find this an easy fight also who you come on like QR codes yeah that that boggles my mind if you think if I think that it's somewhat awkward like when I was buying my coffee today to just tap my phone I'm not gonna like take pictures or whatever with QR codes like that's kind of takes so much longer I mean the Starbucks app which is a great that's great yeah I use that quite often and that works you're apparently seamlessly but still it's a little awkward in yo holding because sometimes I have to stand there and you know twist the phone a little bit to get the reader to hit it yeah but it's still quick I use it every morning like beep yeah no I I use it whenever I'm out of town you know could we don't have it well we finally have a starbucks here it's in the IV grocery store which means it's a pain in the butt to get to but yeah I mean whenever I'm traveling I'm like I love this yeah and i'm sure i will love NFC you know once it comes more to my tena i can use it on a more regular basis but I as for mcx I have a lot of problems with it the fact that it's connected to your your bank account it is connected you know it it's transferring information which Apple pay does not yeah there's d neglected right yeah there's data collected it's transferred via the cloud including your card number and there's a lot of big question marks here I'm sorry not your card number because it doesn't work with credit cards right yeah just bang him yeah would you make a oh I understand you know having been a retailer it sucks you know a lot of people don't realize that retailers have to pay a percentage of every credit card they take to the credit card processor so yeah it as a retailer it'd be great to get rid of that you're never going to pry credit cards from your clients hands it's not going to happen yeah you know and now with all these cards that also collect points like I use a hotel card that you know earns me points with my chain you know I don't want to lose that right yeah so use a delta card yeah I mcx has got some issues you know and I I've not used mcx I am speaking only from the information i bred you know but it's not alluring to me at all yeah I'd rather stick with google wallet and Apple pay those out google wallets not accepted everywhere but it's accepted at least around me sort of in the same areas where you can pay with apple pie and I don't know it seems to work as well but you just have to you know answer a pin codes of the fingerprint which I kind of prefer yeah as Charles just pointed out mcx has been in development for three years and that's great but it's still yeah I I'm not sure about that thing from Sean the man 34 do you ever get weird reactions when you explain what you guys do what you guys do for a living yes yes every single time so that number one answer is you get paid to do that I get that a lot and I also get a lot of so you just play with bones oh yeah right yeah I imagine what it's like for Joey he's play games yeah it's it's not an easy job to explain in the first place and if you don't do an absolutely perfect job the reactions or even odder yeah yes a lot of times i just say i work in consumer electronics yeah but the thing that I get quickly is I'm automatically either like a developer or an IT guy and I'm like honestly I have no idea because I don't deal with IT stuff at all like we deal with like consumer products not so much that other side of it and then develop it looks like if you're in tech and you must know how to like program too yeah upon a time I did no longer I you know the the other thing that I love is once your friends and family know what you do they assume that you know absolutely everything yeah about every tablet every phone how to fix every problem they've ever had on their computer yeah yeah I there's times where my mentors yeah oh yes I printer in two years I don't know what to do with it I just went my mother's printer was at work house like I feel its installed I don't know I finally after like an hour I narrowed it down to her the black cartridge that was plugged but I was like why do you think you know what I do why do you think I am an expert on printers see I stopped buying printers when the cartridges were just expensive is just buying a new printer and honestly I you know cuz I didn't do a lazer bond announced I can't forget it there's a male knock down the road I just go there a lot of times it's just cheaper to buy a new printer every time you run out of ink yeah exactly this clunky thing which is a blows my mind that there have been times where i'm like i need anchor II could just buy a new printer right yeah because it's actually gonna be about twenty dollars cheaper okay so funny everybody is its kind of mind-boggling hmm um Oh from Sasha Mahal good question in the u.s. do you guys have chip and pin for your debit and credit cards okay here's the funny thing that's us okay so my first trip to England was in 2011 and every place I went to use my credit card just looked at me what oh yes wipe I have both online and I finally I finally have pit or chip cards but here's the thing a lot of our cards even though we're finally getting the chip are not chip and pin their chip and signature right which I don't know why and they saw the extreme right mind you I think they still have yes they still have the magnetic strip it's I I cannot believe we're still working with magnetic strips in 2014 but yeah so chip and we have chip cards now and I think by next year or 2016 every card has to be chipped but for whatever reason we went with chip and signature as opposed to chip and pin because America likes to do everything differently hey the rest of the world's using this other measurements us up I think we should come up with our own okay that's true everyone's using centigrade let's go fahrenheit from Sean the man 34 and also from Roman development both of you kind of asked the same question that's on the Microsoft fit band yay I was like you know it's another one but I thought it was cool that it's cross-platform um you know because there's not many out there if you if you look around I guess you have that really synced up data you have sort of pebble but it's not even like real fit data unless you I mean you kind of can with the latest update so I thought that was cool but the format's weird right like it's it's it's rectangular on your wrist so it's kind of like upside down like I naturally kind of like look at my watch like this I don't know I have to play with it before our judge it but yeah there's so many fit bands on the market yeah yeah i i'm not writing that it just so everyone knows I'm not you know but moaning this because it's microsoft I'm just been moaning it because I'm like another fit band seriously yeah you know and I I've thought about buying some fit bands and then every time I go to and read him like well it decided that me writing a motorcycle was me walking so I had all these fake steps I'm just like then what's the point yeah it's like even with Android wear and and Google fit now the app that takes advantage of the steps and stuff on your phone um they give different readings which is annoying yeah so just ring up and lie to me but just sync up and see this is seen as I just spilled coffee on my magic trackpad uh Todd you tried to tell me this was a no coffee zone I get but I have one right here so yeah I'm here here's the idea folks just get out walk I mean it's just just just gonna walk don't worry about it is sad when though when I see how little i've moved all day though that's what I'm funny I tried I try to get up at least once every 90 minutes and you know just walk around for a man like every time I get a phone call in my lane in line I go outside nice you know yeah i just i feared that's it okay I'm on the phone this person needs my attention but it gives me an excuse to get up and walk around I do enjoy that stuff like with s else that's the s health point five on the node for it and probably earlier versions it's like you haven't moved for an hour you haven't moved for two hours even move for three hours it's like to take a walk and I'm like uh yeah probably yeah this job folks does require a lot of sitting listening guys didn't understand Jessica nevermind yeah we did it's actually the dusk that John's filming at now the white desk oh nice yeah it uh it has a motor in it and can go up and down I've actually I've stood at it and that was an interesting experience it was not as it wasn't as difficult as i expected it to be hmm and I actually I did it for like a half hour so I'm one of my visits out there I knew will be a half hour but when you've never done it before I was like okay but uh it's kind of an interesting experience like I liked it uh from Nicholas Pepin drow I hope I said your name correctly iphone 6 plus or Nexus 6 that's so tough they're both really great-looking phones if you have an Android at all Nexus 6 is really really cool yeah I really like that phone um and if you hit half an iphone i say 6 plus i like but I said I like phablet big phones that's what I carry two right now I've been carrying the note 4 and the six plus two phablets and this day I don't get the complaints about like not fitting in jeans I don't learn super baggy jeans and I carry two phablets so yeah Nexus I don't know Nexus 6 is an exciting phone and I think just in the same way that the iphone 6 and you know it's what Apple does for all their products but it'll get the updates you know each year Nexus 6 is a good bet to because you just going to get the latest version of Android for a couple years to come yeah uh from Roman development i knows that techno Buffalo has been receiving new banners and artworks across the YouTube channel in Google+ page is this hanging towards a new website design maybe lastly we we probably have weekly conversations about the the look of things and designs I will say this there will be at this the current version of techna Buffalo is called TB 3tb for is discussed frequently but we have no current timeline to it but we do have a list of features that we want to add features we want to tweak so that there will definitely be a TV for at some point I just don't have a definite timeline the right now the artwork is just artwork it's to freshen things up although I think it all looks great I think that's all been done by a mark at Irvine and he's been doing a really nice job I feel creative but it there will be a new TV at some point I'm just not i don't have a timeline so it'll happen at some point great yeah and it will be another weekend where the week and we launched tv3 we had so many problems oh that was not a full 30 yeah but wasn't the first was the first TV that was the first tee be completely crashed and 45 seconds tv3 that was managed by John kwacha myself and we went home on Saturday night and got we slept for six hours and we came back sunday morning at 9am and we were we were here for 25 hours yeah oh it was awesome I went home and napped for three hours of K back I was like all right would you guys find broken like napped because I knew this up they had two broken logs gone oh let's see we got a lot of questions here so let me uh oh this is a this is a tough one from sasha baja one plus one or nexus 6 and why Nexus 6 I don't know what I could just say that right after that I really like the one post one I bought one myself I I don't know man i'm in love with the nexus 6 I think you're just like it feels great it looks great maybe it's lollipop maybe I don't know and I love cyanogenmod to on on the wall post wow that was great I don't know I got my George is really kind of dropped when I finally helped the next 26 yesterday I was like wow we've actually got a question here from Twitter someone tweeted to me from shabam Kaylee I hope I said your name correctly what Samsung HTC or Apple make a cheap smartphone like the Moto G Apple wooden without doubt um I don't see why Samsung wouldn't though I feel like team some sort of has but not really I mean they're not they're not like pure Android and not targeted that way they're sort of just released to different markets yeah I don't know maybe maybe that's what samsung's new strategy this year will be though I mean if they're tweaking the way they do things they could potentially take the motorola sort of model and have this like entry level and then you know just split it up between flagships instead of having like 40 different phones yeah now I I don't know oh here's a question from sasha baja about when did each version of t be launched I actually can remember this fairly well nice tb1 launched oktober 2009 db2 launched January 2011 I remember that because we got the final code as john and i arrived in vegas for CES and we launched TV 2 from john's hotel room etsy ad and it's now writing joke between John I because that did not work so well it's been running joke between John and I that we're gonna go to a hotel every time we launched a new versions tb3 was like a little over a year ago I don't remember the exact time though but yeah I can vividly remember the teacher already over here ago yeah this is an amazing how time flies yeah that's unbelievable to me how fast time flies anymore uh okay let's see here I saw 1 i'm on the other it is from charles van ness do you have any thoughts on the ipad air 2 in the mini 3 and why they didn't upgrade the internal specs well they did upgrade the internal specs on the air too yeah satiate a8x processor right I don't know why they did that I'm still trying to figure out why they remove the rotation switch yeah maybe just to fit things in the right places that's all I can figure but man does that's not convenient um as for the mini three blah ah I don't know what they were thinking there is literally a fingerprint reader different yeah and then you color right cool oh well let me let me just like get the two you don't need a touch ID on exactly I will say this after having touch ID on the iPhone I do find myself quite often with my ipad air going oh yeah right it's right but there wasn't enough difference with the ipad air 2 this year for me to upgrade I I I was at an Irvine when it was announced and I talked to John about it when he got back from the apple event and he's like don't do it cuz you know next year there's going to be major differences right so I I'm holding out for a year and I'm not gonna have good guy I've honestly what tempted me the most upgrade wasn't touch ID but the 64 gigabytes now being the same prices 32 good yeah that's nice yeah cuz I use my iPad extensively especially when I'm traveling to watch movies and stuff and so I'm always like uh I can only fit three movies on I know first world problems I know ah you know but with like I've got a trip to England coming up I'd like to have more than three movies on my iPad mmhmm yeah I'm not going to do that just for another 32 gigabytes of space and a fingerprint reader yeah yeah uh speaking of movies from Sasha be hall which Marvel Cinematic Universe movie are you looking forward to some or all of them from 2015 onwards um this is clearly more in my wheel if anyone had come to me say ten years ago and said there's going to be a Black Panther movie and Inhumans movie I've first said who are you and what are you doing in my bedroom and then I would ask them what hallucinogen they were on I i love the fact that i'm living in a time where people have finally realized what I've known about comic books since I was four years old that these are great stories that they are a just a endless well of great entertainment and so it's very rewarding to me to see that finally being recognized by mainstream media I'm excited for all of them the civil war story for Captain America's should be a great one the idea that i'm going to see the infinity war which is the Infinity Gauntlet story in the comics the idea that i'm going to see that spread over two movies on the big screen my brain explodes its concept I mean I know nothing but still to see see it actually up on a screen and say you know part 1 and part 2 infinity war I'm just like up so I'm excited for all of them I really really excited you know at marble has I remember when Marvel was bankrupt I remember when there was a lot of scuttlebutt in the industry that marble was going to be a ram did 12 months and they did everything they could have pulled themselves out and then Disney stepped in and bought them you know so it's mind-boggling to me to see Marvel going so we've done seven billion dollars every 10 movies and I remember when their stock was 25 cents on the Nasdaq Wow and I was trying to sleep together money to buy as much marble stuck as I could because I knew that couldn't last yeah but yeah so now I'm looking forward to all of them I i think they announced a great slate and I'm thrilled that characters like black panther finally going to be known by the wider world and in humans and Captain Marvel and so I'm very very excited um actually Sean the man we've already answered this house the ipad air 2 worth the upgrade from my ipad 2 3 no well no I take that back from a 2 3 yes I think so yeah from from an ipad 2 or 3 yes I I would say it's worth the upgrade from an ipad air no it's not enough there yeah I'm sure there'll be a lot going on next year uh let's see Oh interesting question from Henry Kaler oh hi question for a gaming user like me in gaming terms should i buy the iphone 6 4.7 or the nexus 65.9 please help if you're gaming I'd get with the bigger scheme but your screen definitely because then you have to kind of consider that iphone 6 plus i think in terms of games available they're pretty all the good games are available on both platforms at this point there's still some exclusives on itune well it goes either way yeah there's lose both drugs heck I saw a fire phone exclusive game today right so for all ages ago they were like oh yeah there you go you got an exclusive game guys I would just go with the biggest screen you can for gaming I like gaming on like I said three times or hit show i'm a family guy so I like outer screen especially for gaming and movies on you know when you're riding the train or something like that and so I like big screens that I came that bad yeah everybody ya go always go with the bigger screen for gaming and to be honest though um when i play android games i really like the it's not game center which it called play game google play games i guess like the achievements and stuff i think are a lot better on android vs game center on iOS for like they're kind of like worthless but like as your gaming now and a lot of the games have achievements in them you know pops up and it's like you've done this and now your level and like level 12 or something in the android like Google Play I like that aspect of it all yeah exactly the achievement guy Android seems like a freakin video from Sean the man 34 or will amazon give up on making a phone or do you think they will try again little boy oh that's a tough one I guess they're not gonna try again but who knows I mean they took it back on that they're sitting on 83 million dollars worth of fire phones yeah I mean if they do it again I have to rethink the strategy sell it unlocked on their site direct at a low cost like Motorola model yeah and then I'm sure that'll do well the phone's not very that was the whole that was the number one problem with the fire phone was that they did not follow the motorola model yeah i mean not that we're saying motorola came up with the ultimate system but when you think amazon you think lower price and they came out with a flagship phone price for a phone that didn't match the price yeah exactly yeah I'd lucid ATT and contract and all that was just dead I really I don't know if they will try again they took a huge bath they've got success with the tablets they've got success with the e-readers so why drag themselves back down with another phone yeah I read your like an Amazon shareholder review like are you kidding me you're doing this again and they flop again that I don't think they'll do it hopefully not I mean there were rumors that they were building like two or three phones right but now we haven't heard anything and maybe those are all yeah see uh from e wat buys which do you think is better Nexus night or iPad air 2 funky it's so hard comparing android/ios just totally different platforms and I use them both and like them both um yeah I don't really have an answer to that I again that really that comes down to which operating system you prefer more and more we talked about on the show the ecosystem that you're sort of in yeah look it it doesn't make to me if you're if you own an iPhone to me it doesn't make as much sense to then buy an android tablet and vice versa because you might as well stay in the ecosystem where you're already buying your books and your movies in your music so that you can access them on both you know your messages are coming in on both your email accounts I just feel like you get the most out of your tablet and your phone if you stay in the same ecosystem for both and that's where it's going across the board so I don't know that there's an answer like which is better because it's really which one are you most invested in and do you want the best experience from that a totally agree yeah totally agree a fun question from Sean the man 34 uh why do you guys choose live where you are now and not move out to irvine well the thing is we California's beautiful California's beautiful is absolutely nothing against irvine I at least in my case being older I was very very established in Missouri when I got hired by technobuffalo uh you know I have a home here I have property here I have a farm here I mean I have I'm very established here so moving for me would be a major major change for me also along with the fact that everything out there's far more expensive I was looking for me I'm right here near New York City yeah I mean for me though you know I whenever I get into urban I go grocery shopping as soon as I get there yo for the week you pick up stuff you know water drinks whatever for the room I look at the price I paid their compared to what I pay here like wow okay uh so yeah frying at least for my case I was very very established here in Missouri Todd a yeah I guess my age I'm just born and raised on the east coast my whole family's here my wife works here as well right across we're right across the river from manhattan so oh we've just been here for a while and on that note we actually have a lot a lot of meetings in New York City so for me and mobile I'm you know once or twice a week at least going in isn't to meet with somebody so you know I keep trying to convince John that we need to have one of the future right or summits you know here in kirksville yeah we've moved them around I just don't understand why we haven't had one in kirksville yet you should I we totally should and John's Kyle stares at me blankly when I bring it up well folks I think that's going to about do it for today we have a lot more questions from you all and I wish we
