and welcome to the 43rd episode of the type of Buffalo show often live your to house for today Sean ani editor-in-chief of the site and i'm joined by managing deputy met Maggie epiny deputy man she had her taut Hazleton everybody I'm not sure the deputy's if you're you're managing the other deputies I died the Wild West exactly exactly get yourself some sarsaparilla and how are you doing this week god I'm good it's good yes it it's always a good weekend TechnoBuffalo yep I mean the folks in irvine aren't rubbing in my face at all to all the cool things are going to do this week that i would love to go do hahaha like the Avengers premiere the avengers the avengers premier john went to on monday night and then Roy on Tuesday went to Disneyland for a press event 16 university right yeah for the 60th anniversary there will be a post about that going up in a little bit and then this week at the end of the week they're going to Star Wars Celebration sorry this is still not enough to make me move out to her in anaheim right yeah Eponine high but yeah I'm sorry I'm uh not not going to be moving to California anytime soon but they've kind of the the need for me to move there has been somewhat eliminated this week at TechnoBuffalo that's right you should talk about our new friend in the office which we have not named yet we need to give them a name it doesn't need to have a name what we're talking about is a robot and we will fight over the term robot maybe a little bit like we have a robot in the office it's one of the what are they cause it's like telecommute not telling me you know tell me what size of those odds where you you can dial in through your web browser like we do and then all of a sudden I'm walking around the office on the robots ipad screen I can control it with the the arrows on the keyboard stuff it's really cool yeah we we have learned though lower the mast when you're going to move because it gets wobbly tips over or you could be like Joey and run into the refrigerator okay well what I was doing the other day is our managing editor Roy is out there and I was just running into his office window well I i got into Roy's office the other day I was like I'm here to have a meeting goes we can have it once you close the door I'm like that's hahaha but that's making fun of my lack of robotic arms yeah but uh this is there will be coverage of the robot coming up and all that but it thusly I was talking with Ralph our video producer yesterday I was like you know calling it a robot seems a little bit of a stretch yeah it's more like a really fancy remote-controlled car yeah with an ipad it cruises on top of it yeah I mean to me it okay let's put it this way to me the definition of a robot is something that works without assistance or what you've programmed it can work without assistance right instead this is completely controlled by the user exactly so like a Roomba to me is an actual robot you know the little vacuums that move around because all I do with my Roomba is I push the start button and I walk away right well except when I have to come back in empty its then but take it to the bathroom exactly but to me that's a robot but something that I have to sit here and it's not going to move around the office without me hitting the cursor keys is something that's just remote-controlled right yeah and it's cool that I can sit in Missouri and control this thing you know halfway across the country yeah and well you've been out to the office but I haven't been out to the new one yet so I got to explore it and it's just amazing what we can do now oh yeah no I don't get me wrong I think this is an awesome idea I I don't know how many use cases are really are for this thing though I'm I could see like it being used in hospitals if you ever notice that everything that I'm a little questionable I'm like well there's medical uses yeah my medical tech is so huge I know I always have a medical use for everything but in general I mean technobuffalo is a unique situation that we have so many remote workers say oh there's you Joey me Eric Ron who's in Japan Jacob who's with you in New York yep you know so there's a lot of us that are not in the irvine office that being said i hope they never put a telepresence robot here ah John's walking around our apartment us John's just like the right here behind me as i right yo what you doing what you doing are you sure about the headline ah-ah-choo mahasti what uh what Bryn is such a touching right um it's double robotics I believe yeah it's double robotics it's called the double which I have to say it took me a two or three minutes before ah it's like my doubles they're okay right it's we at but uh that's cool you know we could probe from the web browser you can control from a phone or a tablet but I I think that would be a little bit more difficult especially on club knowing when to release the the cursor and all that but that's it's fun but you know it just made me really start to think about the definition of robotics and all that and I don't know if you've heard any of the there's been a lot of talk lately about people are getting honestly afraid of the concept of robots and artificial intelligence yeah perfect BBC news the other day was running a special where there had been some summer symposium where people were talking about how we're letting this get too far hmm interesting I mean yeah you do have to worry about all that kind of stuff well I think these are people that have watched terminator a few too many times yeah but Google's got those killer wore robots right yeah that's honorary I I think there's a lot of potential unless of course you watch bastard Galactica where they were helpful robots before they became the murderous robots but I think there's a lot of uses for robots I think there's a lot of jobs they can do that are too dangerous for humans or pose a significant risk to humans but I don't know I i I'm not the doomsayer that a lot of people are when it comes to robotics and artificial intelligence yeah well I'm not either when they're trained for you know regular things but when they're trained through military use that's kind of scary right right in such a Bohol's also asking what are you guys going to use the double robot for their there's actually a personal reason that the double robot is in the office I I won't go into it's not anything horrible it's just not my not my story to tell but we'll also be doing coverage on it and you know it just it will be an ability for those of us that are okay as odd as it is it did feel I mean even though we know we have skype and all that you know we do video calls with each other all the time if felt slightly more natural it did it's weird because you can you're like interacting with their environment sort of yeah it it shocked me how much more natural because I was like oh this is so silly and then once I started controlling it was kind of cool because like when I logged in yesterday just to play around you know John's wife and son were visiting and I was able to interact with Nathan oh cool you know which inhibit it was funny they kept telling Nathan ill and remember everyone Nathan is under two years old he's going to be two in September I believe and they're kept going well Nathan look at Shawn its Sean and he finally he walked over to my office I use when I'm out there and pointed that the Fathead how's that don't know there's a giant foam cutout of my head that hangs on the wall but so he knew who shot was he just thought it was the fat but no it was cool that you know if you know John walked to another part of the office i can turn and i can follow john and you know John wanted to show me something in the studio and I was able to roll into the studio although it took a while to get there but I was proud of myself I got through the door on the first try hmm yeah it's hard to know when you're controlling the robot like depth is like I was pulling up to a desk and I didn't know if I was going to hit it or how far away I am because you're looking like straight you know it's sort of like a true a window you can't look down upper deck though you can adjust the hot did you know there actually is a way to look down the wheels yeah yeah yeah but it's just like a camera switch right it's not yeah it's a camera Swift you can't wait yeah yeah but no I ran into Ron's trashcan the other days and then I ran into the corner of somebody's desk at one point but now it's cool and I I look I for one welcome our robot overlords yeah but the big topic we wanted to tackle the day and like I said last week folks you know we're going to try some different topics here simply because you know coming out what's week it's not as quickly as phone news comes out sometimes or no new major phone releases but this week otay and I every Tuesday were like what we want to talk about the show this week and we were I'm not even sure at what made us think of it but what mobile games we play yeah i was like maybe we can talk about Oh is hearthstone hearse don't come again maybe yeah that's right cuz that launched yesterday for iOS and Android phones it's already been on tablets then and I've played that I've been playing a bunch of other games I thought you know maybe that's a given topic and we and hopefully people can make some recommendations for us here too I enjoy her style aid on the desktop I played on the iPad not that often but I do play I was a big big time Magic the Gathering players I I like being able to play customizable card games on the go Joey was fighting her stone on his phone today and said it was like you could watch the battery meter going down like that yeah that there's not a light game right with all the graphics and all that so I'm not surprised that it's going to drain phones rapidly but no I do enjoy her stone what are some of the games that you played the mom well I I recently just started getting back into because I played it when it was first released but vainglory on my iPad and on my iPhone and that's one of the the games that Apple sorted they brought the developers up on stage during i think is last year's WWDC and to show off metal their new sort of graphics thing and and it's it the graphics are impressive but I love the game it's sort of like a league of legends style game and you you know you have your hero and then these minions sort of going at it and then your goal is to you know eventually you break down their guns and their turrets rather and then you sort of conquer their pace but it's like for people i guess or up to six I think multiplayer and again I'm just like getting back into it but you know and so everybody's characters sort of have a specialty and you do different things on the map and you try to conquer other people but Ivan have a lot of fun with it and it kind of reminds me of a game that John quach used to work here would be really good at you know like lots of tapping I mean something somebody was good at Starcraft or something would probably have a pretty good skills in this type of game but a lot of fun yeah I tried playing league of legends yeah I tried that's here I was like nope not happening same idea just cynical but like you know is it's it's one of those games and maybe this is something we can talk about to that you kind of need to be like sitting down the couch or you can even have a better experience just like putting it down on the counter and sort of tapping down on it it's not one that I would really play on the subway a you need a connection but be like you get really into it and so like there's these two types of games right like my subway games I'll call them am I like at home on the couch or you know when I'm really gonna focus games now that you bring up a great point about need a connection because that is something that drives me bonkers like you know say I I fly a lot and you know I I play I've been planning simpsons tapped out for like two years i cannot play simpsons tapped out if i don't have internet right and that drives me nuts you know i'm on a tablet fine i'm on a plane you know like flying to England or whatever you know for six seven hours and i can't play my game yo so I've had to add games that I know for sure like you know I love playing risk so I've got risk on my iPad you know luckily that woman I can play without an internet connection right but any of any of my main games I play nope have to have an internet connection at yeah I understand the need for cloud saves and verification and all that but give it give you like a 12-hour window where you don't have to log in or something yeah I agree and that's the worst part I've had about travel is especially the games were like internet connection is not required to actually play the game you know it's just like the verification stuff that drives me bonkers I'll download a game you know get on the plane launch the game excited to get into it and then it's like you know it needs connection or something I'm like great you know like I just now what am I going to do the rest of the plane the flight because I was planning on playing all these new games yeah that's frustrating yeah I don't like i said i mean i understand you okay needs to save to the cloud and all that but do some sort of local management for like a window of time yeah like once a day or something you know yeah exactly you know I'd it's annoying especially when you okay and this leads us to another topic we wanted to touch on you know freemium games you know free-to-play homes you know yeah some of these games you have download for free and you may have never paid a dime into I have paid money into playing simpsons tapped out yeah but you know okay so fine I've paid for this I should be able to access it when I want to access it right you know that's what drives me bonkers now if I've never paid a dime into a game you know like I sometimes play frozen freefall aeo fine don't don't give me an extra feature right only understand not a problem but if I'm pumping money into a game let me do let me play without it yo internet for two minutes oh no it's true yeah I want to get my characters off tasks yeah and I'm halfway over the Atlantic Ocean one game that's free and I actually haven't bought but you can you can buy to sort of help you along the way if you if you can't beat the puzzles but it's called two dots it's on Android and iOS my only complaint is that it syncs perfectly across all Android devices and across off all iOS devices but not across the two so if I'm playing it on an Android phone and then I want to pick it up on my iPhone I'm like you know five levels backer I've I'm progressing on both of them together which is kind of frustrating i kind of wish there was a cross-platform sort of sync but that's a good game people should check out if you haven't already two dots we've got a good question here from such a bahal for mobile games would you prefer a game like candy crusher trivia crack that was free but in-app purchase or a game like GTA san andreas that you pay a certain price and has no in-app purchases whatsoever I'm more of I would prefer just pay a one-time fee and be done yeah i'm the same way definitely although i liked candy crush and trivia cracks a fun game but yeah i'm the same way i don't want to have to pay for things am I didn't know you play trivia crack we may have to have to friend each other on there yeah but like I totally understand games that you know you you play it and then maybe you want extra levels or something like that then that's fine I just think you know the freemium and then it's like you can't when you can't get any further or like it's painstaking Lee difficult unless you pay money that's frustrated right well I I frozen freefall which for those that aren't familiar with it's just your standard connect 3 game with a Disney frozen yo skin over it but you know there was one stage I got stuck on for like two weeks I was like nope not bad yeah that's right not gonna happen which is kind of the joy in that too like when I'm at a level on two dots now and I get on the subway and I know it's going to be hard to beat and it really takes up my time and I like that so yeah I I do know people that pay Yoda for like I said yes I do pay in simpsons tapped out i I what I'm doing is I'm buying the premium you know buildings really over but the you know in a puzzle type game I just cannot bring myself to pay for that stuff right you know because at that point becomes like a i'm going to show you this game is not going to get the better of me yeah yeah and you can see where it becomes like a requirement you like oh every time I get stuck i'm just gonna pay for it then like it almost takes the fun out of it like I said I kind of look forward to getting on the subway and playing that difficult level I just can't be right exactly you know but i don't know uh from frozen Franco what do you think of the new humble origin bundle and the humble mobile bundle I have never kept in here you know I check those out but I will definitely check those out this just made me laugh when it came in a human with anxiety from Sean the man 34 is it true that Todd and John are going to the Star Wars premiere in December he's not to her about that for those that don't know when John got invited to the Avengers premier ice I was was not able to go out there because we just it didn't make financial sense I said but you know if you get invited to the star wars force awakens premiere I'm I'm going with you I will find some way to be there and jon was like sure no problem now mind you folks we have not been invited to the premiere as of yet I highly doubt we're going to get invited to the premiere this was just wishful discussion going on between John and me and so then yesterday a conversation started up on Twitter suggesting that I wasn't going that Todd was going to take my place and Todd was even suggesting that they go to dinner beforehand and they might get to the movie a little late Oh in late yeah yeah really not that big of a deal and I'm I'm saying they're going I will cut a person haha i will cut somebody mark my words yeah I may not look like it but I will cut it I will cook we're not really doing we were just messing with John hell maybe we'll go it just wanted me jump ahead from some of the other questions more of a comment from such a mahal hey Jean Todd I really enjoyed last week's episode about movies and TV it was a nice breath of fresh air from the regular mole news and stuff so thanks for that well thank you and as they we probably do a little bit more of in the future especially with the summer blockbuster season coming up right I I will ask you right now have you started watching daredevil yep no i didn't but i want see I was actually talking about watching last night than I fell asleep so I I'm only seven episodes in I am enjoying the heck out of it I don't feel you have to be knowledgeable the daredevil character to get it yeah okay good yeah it's real some of the Scimitar summits imitates Emmett agra feet that's the word I was going for na na nóg reputedly shot well acted well written it's really enjoyable so far cool actually one of my friends did start watching he said it seemed like a lot of the events were like fast forward in action is that true do you see any of that you think I don't know if it's like so there's one fight scene in the second episode that won't give you too many details on that you will notice as it goes on that you're like they're not cutting away they shot this in real time okay so it's over three minutes long Wow yeah you're like I wonder how many rehearsals they went through to get this because it's kind of nuts uh from Enrique erro big question here I want to get a SmartWatch I was looking at the Moto 360 and the LG G watch our but that's how the Moto 360 second gen is coming so I'd like to know one thing should i get the Moto the LG G watch our or wait for Moto 360 second gen um it's tough because i really liked moto 360 the prices dropped motorola or no google selling it for like 1 69 now i think amazon best buy haven't for 10 bucks more which is a really good price for that that smartwatches great the only thing is i hate to say like oh go buy it and then the Moto 360 2 comes out you know in the coming months because I expect it to especially with WWDC and tuned I'm sorry google i/o coming up where last year they sort of talked about Android wear and moto 360 was there and all these other new ones so I kind of want to advise you to wait that long um because once that comes out I i think the Moto 360 derision Allah probably drop too but you know I wouldn't be afraid if you buy the Moto 360 it's still a great SmartWatch so I wouldn't be upset with that purchase it's just barely up to you well here we go with a from social bahal hey guys just a mobile game suggestion you guys should check out 80 days it's five dollars with no in-app purchases but you get the game and you get that game and a few games for less than five dollars in the humble bundle awesome like check that out there now in another moto 360 question actually from Benjamin McDonald I got my moto 360 my batteries actually very good i came i come home from a school day 5 plus hours and come home with about fifty percent by have ambient screen mode is the this only me or do you also get that this result yeah i get through a like a full workday with ambien screen on which I prefer because I like having the you know the clock showing this little point of a lot to me so yeah that's about on a par with what I've gotten and when I turn off ambien sometimes I can get through the night into the next day a little bit too so I I have not used the Moto 360 so i'll say yeah it's good hey uh from funny i still wear just a classic watch Muslims from coot con 123 what do you think about the LG g4 leaks yeah well we'll be at the event I think it's next week right coming up mm-hmm I don't know I'm not crazy about the leatherback maybe I'm the only one I saw a lot of people online like like that and I think the one on the Moto X is a little different it's smoother this I don't like the stitching and some people actually really did I'm not know we'll see what actually comes and you know maybe it's not all leather maybe there's other stuff but I'm excited to see what it offers you know quad HD another quad HD phone that's that's always good faster build on the g3 which is still a fantastic smartphone I mean it still competes with everything else out there I didn't use the g3 except for you know for like a minute here or there I use droid did I carried the g2 for a while yeah I really liked the g2i how the g2 is a great phone I have to agree here though Todd I'm not a fan of this leather trend or from you know faux leather back so nothing no thanks ya SiC the metal I don't know I'd rather see LG do follow you know samsung and apple and HTC and then just you know try to do something with metal so the g3 was great but it was kind of fingerprint II and it was metallic which just means looks like metal it's plastic and I'm also I gotta be honest I'm not crazy about Snapdragon 810 these days I mean I have it in the m9 here and I just can't tell you know like that it's much better like I feel like last year with new flag chips and stuff you like really felt like it was just a big bump and I just don't really see that with Snapdragon 80 and I can't like get my mind around it but actually notice has been it seems pretty pretty quick on the galaxy s6 and s6 edge so no see I honestly I I never really think about processors in that fashion I'm just like this phones yeah me neither i'm more like yeah I'm more like you know can handle what I'm thrown at and most of phones these days can you know at least for a couple months since I start seeing a slow down or whatever but yet camera is important to me in those extras like I really like a wireless charging in the galaxy s6 and I'd like to see all of those features make their way then become a standard from Sean the man 34 will we see mobile gaming come to the Apple watch yes yeah actually where you gain right we covered that yeah well we have a story coming up later about a game called watch quest coming from I cannot remember from way forward and it works in conjunction with the iPhone the iPhone will act like base of operations and but you will do the majority of the game on the Apple watch oh that's neat yeah so there there is actually already a movement to bring gaming to the Apple watch yeah I've never like I know there's games for pebble and some never really happened desire to playing him on my watch forget me either from marc eric lane what smartwatches if any will be ms the google i/o we usually have a general idea at least speculation about smartphones but what about watches yeah i don't know i think probably the new Moto 360 um I don't know LG just you know announced some back at Eva but end of februari early March so I don't know that they're going to be ready for new one samsung seems to be doing its own thing with Tizen you know maybe we'll see something from a sous but they just announced their own bebo watch earlier this week that doesn't run Android wear but they could follow up with something new I don't know it'll be really interesting to see what Google is doing with that on that front should be interesting iphone i want to see like android wear you know like to point 0 because i think it's time for that next uh also from mark eric lane hey Todd I spy your Jersey Shore stuff back there dress on represent yeah you're supposed to be the train stations on the way down like that all the shore towns but some of them aren't or they're out of order instead I think I got it like I hear something from Benjamin McDonald do you think that moto and maybe three years will be the new apple and if so do you think that they will buy themselves out of lenovo now no no it don't get us wrong we love company we love motorola around here they big big love for motorola but i just i don't see that happening unfortunately yeah i think motorola mobility is now part of lenovo and I think that's where it'll stay unless one of us sales yeah they're not gonna buy themselves at lenovo uh from such a mahal have you checked out the Apple watch yet i know i have not had a nap opportunity to introduce know yet i was in the apple store so I saw them but I didn't put it on my wrist I was there to check out the new macbook and I ultimately went with the macbook pro with retina the macbook Lee I was with my wife too and we were both looking at it again it really feels and looks kind of like a netbook and I just can't swallow that price for that and quorum for me hasn't been powerful enough and I was reading the reviews you know that other people have we had one out in irvine now i just couldn't do it i don't know i think i needed a little more power and you know in general what we do is just browse the web and right and even still i was later I can't you know if I wanted something like it I already have a netbook and even the apple store guy was like it's more of a secondary computer to be honest so yeah I guys must be saying that hey I've got a Chromebook for that so yeah yeah like right now I have this hooked up to i mean i have microphone plugged in i have a7 port USB hub I have a 32 inch screen right here another screen over to my left like you I don't think I could do that without you know jumping through hoops on the right I mean I think it got or No I've got two USB hubs connected to this imac I've got a USB keyboard a USB mouse two monitors this Mike you know now I just won't work for people like us unfortunately but speaking to brazen Franco's question first 24 hours oppression on the macbook neither totter i have spent any time with the macbook other than Todd in this store right now looking at it I like the keyword that was kind of neat I mean the keys are really shallow it's different yeah I need to try that out and see yeah well and I plan to write an article about this and also the ion we were talking about the glass on the on the Apple watch work but force touch to me I was talking to one of our staffers Brandon yesterday so it's on this new Pro and if you didn't tell me this thing hadn't changed i would had changed i wouldn't have noticed like I it just feels I don't know the same to me maybe I'm crazy I'm probably the only one that says that but like people have said that the trackpad doesn't actually move and it does i could be like when i push it i can watch it move it's just that it has like a balanced click throughout the whole thing and then the feedback is caused by like whatever the force touch thingy-majingy is underneath but it's not like like a physical click i guess but it does bend it should have a laptop talking solid I don't know I don't know I especially with key action I i want to i want to feel what's going on so i will have to try that new keyboard oh and the force touch to like it you can hold you know long on a word in safari but i don't use safari seven sling yeah i wouldn't go out of my way to get a force touch track that is what I'm saying it's not David I see your question about Ram if you could be more specific which of our computers are talking about from Shaun the man 34 do you think 1 million Apple watch is sold in the US on the first day is low or do you think they sold more than expected I think they probably met expectations I don't know it's definitely not load android wear took what 700 700 20,000 units in six months so considering Apple did that 24 hours navy is up so why it's not official yet and then pebble took what a year to get to a million a little over here I guess so I think it's pretty crazy but they slowed that many if it's true the I I don't know but to me the first weekend of sales with any Apple product is you have to while they're huge you also have to somewhat remove the fanaticism out of those numbers to me the more telling thing is how the watch does from like here on out right you know which doing Apple they won't tell us because people want the you know the latest and greatest from apple and so there you know ordering it and not lining up in stores this apple doesn't want people to do not that you can even buy them in stores which I think it's weird and like like what and even on the twenty-fourth when it launches its not going to be in stores and like a macbook they don't even have a date when I was in there were like oh we should have it on the twenty-fourth the same day is the Apple watch we're not sure if you ordered it'll come in a couple days and also court is going oh this is weird it's a very odd set up very odd well yeah that's a good point i'd say like and how many does it sell in the first year let's do this yeah from Benjamin McDonald right now i have a macbook pro 13-inch 2010 and sweden we go free one from school well i need to move to sweden go to sorry i've been thinking about buying a surface 3 as a secondary computer do you think i should buy one i also have a gaming pc so i don't really need a gaming machine honestly if you're looking for just base operations i would say a Chromebook it totally depends on what you want to do with that secondary machine you know to me when someone's the secondary machine I'm thinking just like web browsing email light video viewing you're not doing any sort of heavy lifting with it yeah while the surface is more versatile the surface is also considerably more expensive yeah it starts at what 499 now and then you have to buy the keyboard right so having processor which you can find in other notebooks yeah so I I would say if you're just looking for something to do very light competing with I would look at a chromebook before i would look at a surface yeah um from from Roy lambright if microsoft released a zune phone years ago would they be doing any better or they'd still be behind everyone in terms of market share no it would not be doing better it would have flopped like the kin one in the King to Microsoft I don't get it I i I've said this before in this show I actually like Microsoft peripherals i'm using a microsoft keyboard and a microsoft mouse with a mac you know i like herself not Steve I yeah I really enjoy their computer peripherals anytime they go beyond that and hardware things go wonky yeah it's it's very bizarre and like todsah I mean the kid one in the kin two were spectacular disasters yeah the zune brand name we could just start we could do a whole show just on what was running the zoo see I liked the zune but I was like the only one one of my first reviews I was in college well Todd were you part of the social no but I actually wrote about this social and how it was like this you know they wanted like this counterculture this cool thing and then Wow our first device is going to be ups Brown yeah like what and the zune name never made sense not not that's not to say that ipod made a ton of sense when it first arrived right but my Microsoft did so much wrong with both the zune and the kins and other pride no I don't think they would be doing any better unfortunately yeah and remember they were still making phones at that time they were just windows mobile then they switched to Windows Phone ah well Jame selling software her phone Benjamin McDonald clears up on the second computer i was thinking more like watching movies on airplanes and trains then a tablet a pure tablet although you could pick up a surface without the keyboard and still 499 at that point i would say it depends on what ecosystem you're in you know if you've been buying your your movies on say Google Play or on iTunes or if you've been torrenting them we're not not saying nasty things towards you but you know just in case you've been torrenting them get one with the micro SD card slot yeah i would say then maybe I would go surface from mark Erica Lane what's on your wish list for the new android where i have NFC and biometrics a fingerprint sensor for payments on the watch but what else would you like to see um i would say NFC would be great I I fully agree with you on that one biometrics I'm still not sold on their usefulness yeah I don't know that we need that I mean it's the same like the Apple watch doesn't have a fingerprint sensor on it it just connects to your phone NFC for payments i guess would we need for for sharing or something like that i don't know i i'm still trying to figure out i think the whole industry is like what are these good for be like and for me it seems to be mostly notifications but so long as I can manage those notifications because i don't want everything just wants some things something matters and I can I don't know that I really care to use my watch to make a payment but in wearables in general I i 100% agree with you Todd it feels like we're and we're part of a giant beta test still yeah so one of these things do yeah it's all not even so much a beta test it's more like market research yeah seriously you know what what are these let's let's sit at the corner and watch what they try to do with them yeah yeah it's like a sociologist watching monkeys you know slow hell yeah today's the big one used his one hahaha okay it's it's very odd and you know a lot of people are like you I I didn't order an Apple watch I just was not that interested you know i'm still using the pebble and to me I was having a long talk with Joey our gaming editor the other day he he does not see the appeal of the SmartWatch up and I you know I he and i ended up in a very long discussion about why i like using the SmartWatch and I told him he owed to me if freed me from my phone to an extent he was viewing it as tying him yourself down to the phone more but no it has freed me from the phone somewhat because you know most people when you pull out your phone you're like oh I don't need to respond to that well as long as I've got my phone out let me look this up right right then let me look that up with the with the pebble I just you know I ok I don't need to deal with that and I'm that's the end of my interaction with my phone and so to me the simpler the SmartWatch the more useful it is yep and you know what I I know I get a nap I'm sorry go ahead well one thing I'd say is that I could use more location-based information too because that's one of the things where you always have to pull out your phone like it should I'd like it if it knew that I was next to the subway and that it just brought up the next train times and stuff like that or you know in the future brought up my payment card then we could use NFC and then I could just hit the turnstile and go through like that would be neat and doing it automatically I don't want to have to pull it up well I don't you know can it no you know through using sensors that I'm have to gate for checking into my flight and just pull up my boarding pass like that kind of stuff that would be useful to me that would be great I mean well I mean there's a reason Google's paper boarding passes there's a google app called field guide which it it makes a sound when i'm near like historical locations yeah that's cool yeah it's a great app so use something like that you know it can be set up through a beacon system okay I now know you are okay my phone picks up the signal I am near gate a 7 that means i'm near my flight that means it's time to populate the watch with my boarding pass right and it seems like we're getting there like that's what I beacons are foreign beacons in general you know or getting around a stadium like where's my seat and stuff like that it's just that I feel like the watch needs to be smarter instead of just this thing yeah I don't know with notifications I don't care about yeah Benjamin seen your response about you burn your own blu-rays yeah go go Windows then and in case you haven't noticed Mark Eric lane is talking to you in the comments 0 which we welcome guys have a discussion let's see here we've got time for one more question so let me just scroll through these as always we have more questions than we have time and we greatly appreciate of you guys we like to see so much interaction with you um but I'll take this one since a little different from kuta con 123 Shawn favorite headphones I'm not a fancy headphones guy when i fly i use bose quietcomfort 15 s4 sound canceling these are i can never remember their name there you go tactica yeah audio-technica i don't know why like away it's printed right there for me John quach also loved in this ya know these are great headphones these are called studio headphones are built for this type of work although there have been people that have commented that i should just wear earbuds and not where the giant headset but I like my giant headset so yeah I'm not real big Todd do you have any favorite headphones I don't um you know the problem is I end up breaking them all or something like that so I typically stay cheap I just have these you know the apple ones here I have a desk full of like you know what are they skull candies and stuff you buy at radioshack like 10 bucks and you can pay like two dollars to get them replaced once a year so my god i found the other day i got so tired of these just on my desk I was like there's gotta be some sort of headphone gadget and I'm for you I can't take it up over here now on my desk I found there's a hook that was made my audio technica that was built for these and she's gonna mannequin head that's on top of my desk him this name is key this hangs under my desk and the bottom hook swivels so I can like hide them under my desk oh when I use and then when I want him I just swivel it out and I know this is way more complicated than it needed to be anyway I'd like mannequin head would be creepier oh yeah which and honestly I have I have a garbage bag full of mannequin heads because you really yes oh man the styrofoam mannequin heads for those that don't know my mother used to own a costume shop and she kept Oliver man I can have when she closed we're all behind that sheet yeah that's exactly we also have a full-size mannequin we have a torso mannequin we have a animatronic Santa Claus which is creepy and I East a blur I hate that thing things like six feet tall we have some very odd things we also have coffins oh man they're cardboard so ke dohe tray it was a costume
