The TechnoBuffalo Show Episode #072 – Star Wars, Apple rumors and more!

2015-12-23
and welcome to episode 72 the TechnoBuffalo show I'm live your to host for today Sean ani editor and chief of the site and i'm joined by deputy managing editor Todd Hazleton hey everybody are you doing today Todd I'm good yeah someday people are going to go g to not talk before the show how do you not know how he's doing now it's just you know it's it's a nicety formalities yeah formalities exactly so yes it is a the quiet time of the year we're in the holidays and leading up to CES which means companies are not announcing anything yeah just dead really dead yes a tumbleweed blew through my office earlier kind of sad you know but uh there are a couple things we can discuss a cursor there's some I don't know if you've heard of it some little movie I think was done independently Star Wars the farce I I run about that somewhere somewhere I don't know I and supposedly it's doing okay at the theaters I mean oh it's making a little bit of money yeah it was like an indie film right yeah I was an indie film which a lot of people don't realize actually their original Star Wars was an indie film was it really yes that's pretty funny yes it was picked up for distribution by 20th century fox but it was an indie film that's amazing I didn't know that good it a lead yeah it's the most successful indie film ever um but no of course we're talking about star wars the force awakens which came out last week has continued to break box office records just before the show started I looked up the Tuesday box office numbers it's at the highest Tuesday ever and it also crossed 300 million domestic in only five days which is a new record the old record was Jurassic world from the summer with eight days so it's doing unbelievable box office and now what's the record that avatar holds again what's what's that that is worldwide global all-time 2.78 billion oh it's an all-time record that's an all-time record that's the record everyone and such from the halls and the questions already asked about that you know can star wars the force awakens beat avatar the whole thing people need to remember about avatar is that it was built upon repeat viewings it was also the fact that it was unlike anything we had seen before you know it really was the launch of the new 3d movement right you know it was really the first use of motion capture I mean there had been motion capture but he really took it up to a new level all that being said I hate that movie I really do not like that movie I thought it was like entertaining but you know it up you know as well I guess it's one I've never thought about again so yeah well go watch Dances with Wolves then watch avatar and go hey look it's the same movie really it's almost beat for beat the same movie wow that's bad yeah it's really and there had been other movies that done the same story over the years it's kind of amazing but um we'll see I mean all that being said you know I'm thinking about going back and saying Star Wars again and I haven't done multiple viewings in a theater in years but you know it for everyone's knowledge yes I have seen I once on Monday night todd has not seen it yet nope yeah because Todd yo wants to be all yo I'm not going with the crowd uh no I probably would but um you know the theaters are crowd and stuff honestly oh yeah and that's why I wait till Monday night I mean everyone was amazed that I did not go opening night but I was just like look I want to be able to sit there and actually enjoy it yeah I don't want yo beer and in the middle yeah exactly as it was is I I got sure this little story about my my little town theater we do have an eight Plex it opened I think around two thousand or so so I got there early enough to you know get the back row which I always want the back row so i can see as much of the screen as possible and there was a group of two seats by themselves right in the middle and like yes so I go and sit down the first one I almost sink to the floor the seats so busted Mike oh great so I moved to the sea the left that one no problem it's going to see me fine except half the left arm is gone because people have torn off it's like a like movie Peter I know man i know and you feet are sticking to the floor I know and in my town this is the only theater so what choice do you have but yes I've seen it yes I wrote it up on I I don't usually like promoting my own personal site but if you want to see you know all my thoughts you can go Sean piane calm and I wrote up all my personal thoughts on it there but all that being said it you know such a ball is asking to live up to my expectations I really i think i have i have to see it multiple times before i can really say that i'll say this i mean it definitely was not the Phantom Menace um which you loved as much as I defend the prequels even I can't defend the fan of me nobody can defend the Phantom Menace I'm sorry you just can't um but as it stands right now it's in my top three star wars films for sure I I was really pleasantly surprised by the amount of humor in that all the humor worked which is not I mean yes there's always been some humor in the Star Wars films but this one had some truly laugh out loud moments I was like okay that's new and I'm fine with it yes my question that i've had that I had a problem with and I think I guess it was the three newer ones where I just sort of like felt like I was just sitting there almost like Lord of the Rings just like ok did you ever have that kind of experience or was it more like the first three where there was always something sort of going on it wasn't just sort of chatter among you know what seemed like diplomats and stuff like that there was always something going on see that I think I would like that a lot better and there was maybe like one shatter scene and but it's like this long it really needed to happen okay yeah yeah it was a i won't i won't say what it was about but yeah it was an essential scene 2 setting up what's going to come and that's that's one thing I've seen a lot of people saying you know oh they didn't explain this and they didn't explain that and you know how could they not do it'll explain that most stories are built on a three-act structure this is the first of three acts right yes the force awakens has 3x within it but the force awakens is the first part of new trilogy so that's like saying I want you to give me a book in three parts but I want to know everything in part one of the book and part two and three are then what right right like you have to leave it sort of open-ended and stuff and build that story arc right exactly you know and that's what they're doing they set up a lot of stuff that's going to continue in two episodes eight and nine you know so it's just that folks calm down hey now i will say this there were a lot of times where Lucas premises things that never explained it you know he promised us for ages before the prequels came out you know I'm going to explain force ghosts you never explained force ghosts never explained why some Jedi became force ghost some didn't you know you got a little brief thing about Yoda had been talking with qui gonn you know and that was it as great a midi-chlorians were mentioned that never mentioned again you know so yes there are some people out there I mean yeah that was Lucas though this is Disney who Disney's going we spent over four billion dollars on those we got to make this good right right yeah but president I'll get to your question I just read it I yeah well I mean normally we save questions for them but i'll go ahead and jump to the so brazen Franco asked wasn't really amazed by Star Wars was kind of disappointed actually not trying to spoil and does this mean that that's certain someone without training is better than Anakim i'm going to assume you're meaning the one who wins the fight and i'm going to say that i think we're going to learn there's a lot more are going on there a lot more going on so hey I just here let me communicate in hand signals and hope but I I get that some people were at this point I think a lot of people went in just like I went into the prequels with super high expectations the problem there was that you know we had been since 1977 there had been this mention of you know you fought beside my father in the Clone Wars and every kid that I would you know I was six when it came out yo and at school we were all talking about well worth the Clone Wars what were the clone wars and we all came up with their own little theories of what the clone wars were and what they meant and so we had years and years I me by the time episode one came out we had had 22 years to think about what the clone wars were we we were kind of our own worst enemies going into the prequels and then he delivered the phantom menace and well he was his own worst enemy at that point but you know so I I'm very hopeful for you know this trilogy I think I had a good start we'll see where it goes I mean I as i said in my own personal review you know there's absolutely nothing I can say at this point that will stop anyone from seeing this movie I I could tell you that you know I I think the movie gave me cancer and people would still be going to see this movie yeah you know a more power to everyone I I hope everyone enjoys it i think you know and again i hate keep bringing this up I as I explained in my own review that I have a very very deep connection to start wars I you know I saw it in 1977 in the theater I without question know that it set me on some of the things that have happened in my life you know it sent me on the course of becoming a complete geek and you know becoming a toy journalist for many years and you know it led to me having a comic book store for 15 years you know it star wars without doubt shaped my life in a lot of ways so I have a very very different connection with Star Wars than a lot of people so if people are disappointed by it hey it's movie you know it's going to appeal to different people right but we will come back to a lot of these questions during the Q&A section it the other topic we wanted to touch on this week was of course apparently apples going to be doing something in March well March or April depending on where you're looking but I know the it's rumors folks yeah it's um I guess what we'll call it the 4-inch iphone it's it's funny all these sites like or people close to the supply chain etc etc are saying you know either iphone 6c which i think makes the most sense or yesterday it was called the iphone 7 c which doesn't make sense me but yesterday i groomed oh man so i'll just go over the rumor real quick for people that aren't familiar yesterday's rumor sort of like china mobile leaked its carrier in china a leak slide sort of like with its roadmap this is the same slide that a day before on monday reference the galaxy s7 for march release so now this one is saying it said i think it was in chinese so like i can't read it but it was iphone 7 see April and that's sort of basically it right so that's like the four-inch iphone that has been referenced by lots of people they expected to sort of have the same body as the iphone 5s touch ID sort of but with upgrades internal so hopefully a nine processor that you have in the iphone 6s and 6s plus so basically just like this 4-inch phone that's hopefully a little a little bit more affordable that was I think the goal of Apple but also appealing to the people that want the smaller phones who still forever reason think the success is too big um so a couple interesting things about that that I'm kind of curious to see is a that the iphone 6s battery life is not great right and that's already kind of a small phone so I mean they just released that battery pack so how do they fix that and be like our there's still that many people who think that the 5s is too or the 6s is too big like for me I'm I'm kind of used to that size now like it feels about right then the other thing I want to talk about briefly in the rumor was the naming where you know the 7c i said this in the post it makes more sense to me that it would be the 60 because we have the word or just six mini or success money or something but because we already have the success plus in the success and then the sevens not going to be something we're going to see until September so why would they start the seven moniker you know I ever in April this there's absolutely no way they're gonna starts a seven moniker before the seven and 7's there just is no way yeah so that's why that's the hard thing though because this slide the the dates for the galaxy s7 in March like that makes a lot of sense because you have galaxy s6 typically in the galaxy s series in general just sort of unveiled in the world congress in either late februari early March it you know March is probably pretty much locked in for me for the galaxy s7 link I very much see that happening and so I kind of trusted the the China Mobile slide and then it also then references the new iphone and so piling all those rumors together it makes a lot of sense that maybe Apple really is the first time going to introduce another phone sort of mid-year for them but i also have a hard time i'm also i'm also curious that maybe china mobile because i don't know the context of this slide could be predicting the same way that everybody else is right like going off of analyst reports and saying well it seems about right if these analysts are true that that's when it's going to launch so we're gonna put it in this slider than all of a sudden now you know going from china to here to whatever it's just take out of context no and it's merely just a prediction and not going to happen so i don't know but it seems pretty plausible at this point i mean there's so many people that have referenced this device then i have to wonder anyway why would it exists if it's not going to happen in some form well even not so much speaking to that china mobile slide you know we've also heard the rumors of an ipad air three March and I exactly sorry i know i really i'm not sure how I can believe that I mean would Apple first off yo we know they're trying to get the ipad pro in two more hands but would they launched a major tablet upgrade in that point in the cycle to the holiday sales that's where I'm getting confused on that one I'm certainly confused too like why wouldn't you have had it out now or you know I don't know maybe because they're worried about it cannibalizing sales of the you know the earlier iPads like the ipad air 2 which i still if I was going to buy an ipad today just based on the price I would still go with the ipad air 2 I mean to me this is getting in there like a whole nother conversation but the ipad pro at its price point just doesn't make any sense once you add that keyboard stuff like I just can't figure out why you would spend that much vs I don't a macbook air or macbook or whatever I mean a macbook air I guess you're losing the retina display but you have a lot more power I mean you're moving into core i3 i5 and i7 processors so I don't know but the air three then you have to figure you're like what are the upgrades for that I imagine the e9x processor that's in the ipad pro so you know if that had that if it had that process area would it seems to me sort of cannibalized sales of the lower price point of the ipad pro and maybe that's why it's not out for the holiday season but i don't know yeah I i don't know i just i don't know if it really felt to me like Apple was going to take a whole year off on the iPad error and that we would see something next holiday season I just don't I all of a sudden everyone's pinning a whole lot of hopes on march you know because you know we've also heard Apple watch to as the possibility you know and I such a Bohol's asking you know do you think we'll see the ipad or not the ipad I'm sorry the Apple watch to in 2016 2017 I definitely think we'll see it in 2016 I think so too and I think wasn't marched last year when they announced the first one thing it was around there hey I honestly can't remember when it was first announced yeah so I i would say more than likely that the of all the devices we've heard rumor died I do believe the Apple watch chooses the most likely I would say the iphone 6c not 7c is the second most likely and I would put the biggest question mark next to the ipad air three yeah you know now of course you know we are coming up on CES which means apples got to say something about something during that week I'm i know i don't i feel like apple yeah i know that happens but i feel like they also just sort of like there were whatever cesi I don't feel like to Apple the competition's there any more like what's at CES that they have to worry about like tabloids aren't it's not a big show for tablets not a big show for phones it's not even really that big of a show for computers anymore so it's more like smart home stuff that actually supports you know I bet we're gonna see a lot of stuff that has home kid integration stuff like that so i don't know if it's gonna you know do something during CES but my world congress where we've sort of seen around it i don't think i think last year was the year that it actually didn't make an announcement during mobile cottage but i forget and i think it was right around it like maybe shortly after so well i am I do you know every year that I've been going to see us which this is gonna be my 6 i've kept saying this is the air smart homes gonna take off and i never really materialized ease it kisses mine OAS degrees yeah okay so she doesn't eat I don't remember them oh good good grief so but yesterday yo we ran that story about webos three for the LG televisions and the idea you know that now your television could become a notification centre from your smart home devices you know and the example given was like you a message pops up that your wash load is done right I think that is a really interesting new aspect too smart homes now I think you've got a good point i think maybe apple will be trying to push home kit more because it does seem like smart homes are finally coming at us fine here it's just taking forever and I of course right now the cost is also extremely high I mean my house was built in the 80s you know if I want I I barely can run ethernet cables through it hey oh so the idea of trying to retrofit it for smart home is a daunting one to be sure but moving forward with new home construction and apartment construction and all that yeah I think we're going to start seeing more and more home stuff so maybe that will be apple's foray into co co or announcement during CS like hey everyone's taking on home kit you know I or I or you'll just see sort of Apple don't doesn't have to do anything just like these companies will probably like oh and it supports a blanket and yeah that's how we'll sort of it there but not really okay it must be nice to be Apple not have to show up to things yeah hold your own show yeah I know it's always amazing but it's going to be interesting i'm sure we'll hear more about the potential march or april announcement as we draw closer and closer yeah i mean we still have to see you know there was that rumor the other day which i still it was a 60 minutes leaked or you know was that a new laptop on 60 minutes y le I I right away I was like that looks like a space grey macbook to me that's how we wrote the post but that there were people out there on other sites and stuff that thought it looked like a brand new computer so possibly that just brings up the topic that you know possibly this spring is the macbook air with retina unless Apple just sort of replaces it goes back to macbook and macbook pro and just upgrades the macbook from the core m processor 2 cor I which I think needs to happen but the benefit of the core m was that it it's fanless but we'll see yeah I don't know macbook air definitely needs a refresh the display compared to everything else is just it's kind of blurry to look at I guess when you go back to it yeah I know that I agree with okay so let's go ahead and jump into the questions we have a bunch of them here is we're wrapping up 2015 from such and Bohol is the Moto 360 2015 worth getting um I actually haven't used it neither I i I'm sorry special someone I saw it like when I was announced that I haven't used it does it tell time yeah my thing is um I just actually I'm not wearing a SmartWatch at all right now and I usually have the Apple watch three go you're still pebble I Android wear is okay and then I just I get annoyed with it like the notifications to me or just kind of useless same with seen with Apple watch though it's not that so it's just both I guess I'm just not really on board with either of them Jeff ki did you see your question about the ipad pro could you provide some clarification on it I'm a little confused by which mean um let's see here so jumping on down we've got a lot of questions coming in here to do we answered that one already 22 sue just a moment from such a ball should I wait until after the holidays to get a spear obviate do you think it will come down price in a couple of months um I don't think is it doesn't strike me as the type of product that will get a price cut I think you'll just have to find a sale um yeah those fears are always expensive right yeah there always are but I also think that it's you know it's been one of the hottest products for the Christmas season I don't think it's going to come down for quite a while I mean kind of like I why I do I dare admit those yes I have a large collection of the fancy metal light up light sabers yeah so I don't have kylo Ren's yet and by golly I can't find 1a you know list price at the moment so I'm waiting until the the fervor dies down before I pick up my kylo Ren saber but uh nice so they make like high-end lightsabers uh-huh okay I'll show you I'll show you one after the show they're here my office I think that's pretty cool I I don't dare light it up during the show because everyone listening to the audio version would go ah oh yes I'm a giant nerd in I admit it and proud of it Oh see here from Matt music why doesn't say gen mod make a version for 1 plus X oh I think there's a lot of reasons yeah i'm not sure what the answer to that is except for it sounds like their partnership was kind of uh died out yeah I think they just I I think part of the problem would be that if they did make a version it would almost seem like an endorsement of 1 plus and well they did the original yeah for the original but I think if they do it now after the partnership ended I think it would come across as like an endorsement and I I get the feeling this is pure speculation folks pure speculation that that relationship did not end well yeah I got that feeling too that's why I was calling and at end of the day I think one plus was trying to say look we want to get the software updates out there quicker than side engine auditor sign she was getting them so I think that's why they stuck to their own software this time ok ok so what Jeff k was saying was he said that the the the computer or whatever it was in the 60 minutes video looked to him to be like an iPad pro with a keyboard that we had not seen yet and he was wondering if we thought they did that on purpose I think apple is a canoe whatever that item was believe me Apple was well aware it was sitting there yeah I don't know yeah it was either it was either a prototype week on purpose and then they're gonna make a joke about it like you know because that's how the new Apple seems to me like when they're joking around you know but i honestly think and I think that's just you know going a little too far i honestly think it was just a space grey macbook yeah just a different angle than you know hey believe me eh I have a feeling that anytime apples got filming going on in their offices i am sure there is a team of people that come in and scan that room with their eyes oh yeah going is why is that there why is that there that needs to be put away you know just like when they went into jony ive's lab and you know and there were tables covered with grey sheets right absolutely they were well aware of what was in the shins yeah without question the only thing like and I said again i firmly believe it as a macbook the only thing i could see is like say the unveil the new macbook air with retina display or whatever in march or something and they're like remember this like as a joke and it had been in the background but i just don't see it happening i think it was just a macbook no I I tend to agree uh from session be hall first of all do you guys like the Beatles also what do you guys think of the Beatles music coming to streaming music services at midnight also known as December 24th let me share a really quick funny story for my recent trip to England so I took the train from manchester to Liverpool to go visit you've seen the pictures Todd the the Tudor house had a place called speak hall so I go to this very little train station and because it's the closest to speak all I call for a cab cab comes gets me he's like oh where am I taking I go speak hall as we're driving out of the train station not a word has been said about the Beatles not a word but I am in Liverpool their their home city and we get to the exit for the parking lot and we're about to turn onto the road egos yeah Paul McCartney and John Lennon lived right over there it's only a few minutes well I like that's awesome why did I need to know that I didn't say the last part of my head I like is that all you people could talk about maybe figure to the extra Ferris I know I fast I think that but he and I had a very very pleasant drive to speak all I was explained to him how we pay for for football stadiums and baseball stadiums here in the States compared to how they do it and he was explained to me that if they ever tried to pass a tax to pay for a stadium that there would be riots and so we actually had a very very pleasant drive but I was just like I have not said a word about the Beatles I do I I personally look I respect what the Beatles did for music their music to me isn't is enjoyable but I don't go bonkers for them I like them but yeah the same way yeah I'm I I respect their their place in music history without question but they're just not a hundred percent my taste but now saying that coming to the streaming services that's awesome i think tomorrow music that's on streaming services the better yeah i love how it's all of them at wants to is exactly yeah an exclusive somewhere for you know yeah remember when uh when steve jobs got so excited they were finally gonna be able to sell Beatles music yeah yeah itunes yeah that was crazy but ya know it's great I more music on streaming services the better I actually I had a talk with an old friend the other day via text and he was telling me about how many CDs he currently owns I'm like why in the yes I know you know there's compression and all that sort of stuff but really if you want to listen to a bunch of music either mp3s or streaming whatever well I I crowd your life anymore with CDs I mean I used to have thousands of cds I've sold them all yeah it's just too much of a pain link put a CD and you listen to this on you oh but I want to listen that one the NIA take it out go find the other one when I was in high school ideo and my my big cruise on the weekends phase I had a past days I had an ad cassette tape case I carried with me whoa yeah I had 80 cassette tapes with me every weekend around every week it was like oh do I take that one with me ooh that's a lot of tapes to carry around yeah no actually it said on the I had a bench front see it say on the front seat in between the two see place yeah all those almost always Guns and Roses Appetite for Destruction on the tape deck so I don't know why anything else with me I I went through three copies of that cassette really oh yeah I I was really into that album listen to that for the show uh you can skip most upside to anyone moving on so I speaking of music services such a bahal asked what music streaming services are you guys subscribe to we've gone over this before I I'm the oddball now I'm only subscribe to pandora because I like to explore for music otherwise I primarily have everything on mp3 and just listen to you know whatever i'm in the mood for Todd however on the other hand yeah I have too many music streaming services i'm actually on google play music now so I can play Appetite for Destruction next which I realize I know most all of these songs anyway but i'll listen to them in order oh i also have this let's google play music i also have spotify apple music and I don't pay for whatever Microsoft's is true these days anymore and then I actually do use pandora I just I don't pay for it like you do yeah I I just don't want to listen to commercials but yeah i don't know why i have three it doesn't make any sense but you know there's no there's things that like to bother me about one that I like about the other so yesterday for example like um like I was just messing around with some Elvis and I don't know like a lot of old elvet I mean I don't know like a lot of unpopular Elvis so I was just looking for like his greatest hits or something and that exists in Apple music and google play music but not on Spotify and most of the time I'd say ninety percent of time I want Spotify but then when there's something like that I'm like okay I got to go to something else and switch it off him uh from just not worth the additional money but I'm doing from Jeff k we already answered the first part of his question about which which music streaming services but he asked have you seen the latest Apple iPhone video leaked looks similar to the back of the leaked Moto X coming out this next year with its metal flat back finish I assume you're talking about the video that came out yesterday which we're calling bogus too yeah I just couldn't buy that I just couldn't yes we ran it and I think you explained it well in the post it was like it the fact that the supervisor air called supervisor yells hey yeah it would the supervisor have not grabbed the guy's phone deleted the video absolutely like that guy would be in a river somewhere yeah I mean there's no way that real there's no way I don't know what I did it was convincing like it looked like the foxconn logo kind of like a period on the shirt and like I don't know but like I know that that's crazy like Fox coming too aren't those factor like I'm pretty sure it's like a campus like can you imagine the risk you'd be going through filming that like I know yeah I did whatever yeah yeah oh good grief i I just whatever uh from such a baja are you guys more excited for episode 89 or the Star Wars story films IE console about fed origin films in rogue one well I i would assume this is more me yeah I am really super excited for rogue one because that is the type of story I've been looking for since the original star wars in 77 when they once they got to the oven for base and we saw all the troops there and then during the medal ceremony you saw the troops lined up I even at six years old I want to know the stories of your average everyday rebel and that's kind of what rogue one's going to be uh Han stay up real rebel housewives yeah Real Housewives of Yavin 4 my husband they seized an x-wing pilot but I'm the one that flies this ship I cannot believe I just thought that off the top of my head anyway wow I have never watched it up so drill has was I either I just however i watch the parody show on hulu the Real Housewives were Ledo the Real Housewives of Las Vegas Oh Perry's yeah those are parodies they're hilarious the Han Solo origin film concerns me greatly because you're you're doing something with potentially one of the most iconic characters in cinematic history yes so that is going to be really really risky how they handle that that being said I would love to see the story of Han and Chewie meeting each other yes we we've heard rumors and speculation on how they met for years and that there was stuff and they expand universe but all that's been thrown out with the last cannon reset so they really can go anywhere with it Boba Fett origin story ok this is this is where people are going to wonder what exactly I'm on I've never been that fascinated by Boba Fett has a lot of other people I think he served a purpose yes his armor was cool I never said I ran go and wow I really want to know more about boba fett yeah it just never did much for me I am super excited for episode 89 so i would say in my order he'd go rogue 189 han Solo Boba Fett yes I just ranked movies that don't even exist yet two thumbs up uh from Jeff k are you saying foxconn kills their employees no nothing else documented they kill themselves that is that is documented that there are suicides you know I although we haven't heard that in quite a while so hopefully that was a anomaly um let's see here from also from jeff k awesome Todd are you guys going to cover the development of the video app services working on for stern shows I knew they were doing something with Stern shows I didn't know it was going to be a nap yeah me neither off to look into that thanks we will look into that Jeff I don't know why I suspect he's a stern fan maybe it's his icon yay uh moving on down the road from such an Mahal what is the number one tech tip for this holiday you know I really don't think there was one be all end all this year yeah well were you saying you thought the Sphero would be well I know and this girl has done well but seek to me I I count that is more on why yeah I to me he's more of a toy than a tech gift but I mean if you're speaking traditional tech you'll be it tablets phones computers and all that I really haven't heard of anything being the hot gift this year yeah it's like I mean it's like we talked about time but like sales numbers of tablets you know like those are kind of wanted to climb because people don't need new ones that much so like I feel like tablets aren't hot I mean I'm sure they'll sell ball but I feel like it's not like Oh everybody's getting a tablet this Christmas and then you know like there aren't what's the new major phones I mean there's been a couple you got the v10 the Lumia 950 1 plus X and stuff like that but if you like those aren't you know gonna fly off shelves for Christmas so I'm not sure what's like what's gonna be I wonder if it's things like amazon echo and stuff like that which I love and I I feel like that's one of those things where it's kind of expensive and you're like I don't really want to buy it but I don't mind asking for it someone else buys it so I wonder if that's going to be a popular holiday gift Wow right I just looked over at the clock I cannot believe how time has flown by here let's blow through a couple more questions real quick from Jeff k why doesn't anyone sit in on the videos I like watching you two just curious as to why we don't see anyone else contribute I'd love to see what joy has to say I mainly it's because choice has nothing yeah we're just sits there and Reuters one you'd be great for the show the whole problem is of course the end of the show and I'm getting a phone call the whole problem is with time differences because I'm in central time Todd's and Eastern those guys are in Pacific's you know so right now they're just getting into the office well they've been in for 40 minutes so we'd have to move the show so much later in the day we actually when we set the show up we did have the idea of rotating house but it's just been a time issue you know maybe at some point we will move the show a little bit later so I can rotate in Roy and John and you know whoever else wants to sit in but it is not that uh Todd and I just want to dominate the show but it's just unfortunately we have the best time zones yeah Eastern sort of rule uh from met music uh your subscribe to all those why not deezer I've actually not heard of Deezer Deezer I just I subscribe to the main ones and I don't even know why i've subscribed to this many so it's sort of like i need to cut back not look for more hey oh why not uh yeah come on Todd one more what morning I mean I had one of these mornings days I just got to switch to I guess I'm waiting for like a Spotify family plan that makes sense but uh yeah I probably switch like my wife and I to one of them and stick with it super geeky question here from Branson Franco I always wondered could the commandos resist order 66 I just can't imagine that elsa squad attempting to kill OB if you watch the clone wars cartoon there was an episode where one of the commandos figured out the the chip that was in their head that would have forced them to do order 66 and he removed it some of them were able to resist as we've seen in rebels but the vast majority could not resist it because it was hardwired into their brains and there are people going right now but he just speak English just did they over my head uh from jeff k what did you guys get your others for christmas well since i'm completely single still are they I didn't do tech gifts for people i don't usually it i don't usually get them for myself um how did i get people like clothes and stuff shoes I'll sue your boring yeah okay I mean from wife like all the tech that we have in the Hat she take like for her phone she takes my hand me downs like she has my iphone 6 plus right now and then the rest of the house is stuff i buy so it's not like a tech gift with you dads well i mean my family and I are kinda like honestly what we do any more Christmases we say what one project are you dying to get done oh yeah we have enough stuff in our lives so you know it's like I I think this weekend I think I've got to build a kitchen table nice enough fun actually no no it's really not it's from Ikea have you ever read those books you put it together I thought you're gonna cut the wooden
