hey what is up guys I'm qHD here and welcome to the Q&A video number three for 2017 it kind of figured we're doing these on a monthly basis now there is one in January one in February and now it's March so before it snows us in here go ahead answer some questions from Twitter if you think Apple and Google are collaborating on something referring to Tim Cook and perch Ives dinner I don't know if you guys saw there is this picture floating around of sundar pichai the CEO of Google and Tim Cook the CEO of Apple at some dinner maybe I can't even talk during the same place the photo looks weird it looks almost photoshopped like the angles are messed up but you know what even if we take the picture of face value it is totally possible they have dinner together one day and someone took a photo of it I don't know if they're collaborating on something because they had dinner together but I still would love to imagine like I'd love to be a fly on the wall for that conversation all right you know how it goes first one to smile picks up the top for dinner right whoo you should update the Mac bro what is the worst thing you've ever done at a tech event I actually thought about this one for a little while and I couldn't come up with anything but then I read the replies to this tweet and actually brought up a good one there was once a moto X launch event in New York City and instead of bringing the typical camera that I usually do I brought the rx100 is one of the first point shoots at the time to shoot 4k video it was an opportunity to test it so I like a really good use for that camera and I brought it in to get the first hands-on for that new Moto X and get footage on the rx100 well that was when I very quickly learned that that camera overheats while shooting 4k for more than about five to eight minutes at a time so I was stuck in that event with a brand new phone in my hand and a camera that stopped working five minutes into my shooting because I had to take out the battery and would you literally blow on it to get it to cool down but luckily I had a couple batteries with me I could go through them and cool down the camera and get all my footage but that was almost a lot worse than it actually ended up being I mean the video I got out of it actually ended up being pretty good but that might be the worst thing worst thing I've ever done at a tech event if you could meet one person dead or alive and talk tech with them for an hour who would it be okay so brace yourself for the most unsurprising answer in the world I'm pretty sure this would be on anyone's list probably in their top three or five at least would be Elon Musk I've interviewed a couple people in the past and they weren't necessarily tech specific figures you saw the video I did with Kobe I tried to ask him about tech it was clearly not a huge tech head I've even talked with Neil deGrasse Tyson who's an astrophysicist but we talked more about like conceptual stuff but if you've ever seen Elon Musk get interviewed he was the CEO of an electric car company and he can literally give specifics about fine-tuning the ostrich cars motors and the aerodynamics and the technology that goes inside it all that stuff same thing with rockets he happens to also run a rocket company and talk specifics about rocket science so I think it'd be pretty awesome to talk tech with Elon Musk for like an hour even if we're just shooting about like it what phone do you use like what tab would you use what laptop do you use have you taken the challenge of making a Tesla Model S commercial so for those who haven't seen a Elon Musk of all people the CEO of Tesla retweeted tweet from apparently a letter he got from a five-year-old asking if they could hold a contest to make the best video about Tesla and they wouldn't have to spend any money on marketing because that's kind of a thing Tesla doesn't do but they could give some prize to the winter so now hustles actually doing it it's called Project love day I think that's the name of the little girl's last name and I'll link it below I'll link to tweet so you can see the whole story that led up to it but now they're opening submissions for the best possible video in under 90 seconds about Teslas of course naturally I'm thinking about making maybe not just one video but maybe I'll make a couple of submissions and like put them in to one video that I put on YouTube but also submit them separately so they can get those I think it'll be a lot of fun to try to make the best most clever possible video about the Model S considering the ability we have to do that I don't know if you guys have any ideas for what I should put in the video here's one why don't you talk about sponsors in your videos video the simple answer to that is usually because there is no sponsor if there ever is a sponsor it's actually legally required that I disclose it so that will always be either in like the bottom corner of the video you'll see that there's paid promotion in a video but that's very rare and in fact the last sponsored video that I've done I actually had to look it up was the 101 plus 3t giveaway a naturally on a tech channel you always think like oh if he shows a product or if he likes a product that's clearly helping the company that made the product out a little bit which is also the reason why anytime I like something I get accused of being paid for it but obviously you know I can't do that because that's illegal like super illegal so the one reason we actually do like to bring in sponsors for videos is to be able to make things happen that we couldn't ordinarily do sometimes it's to get access to something like a product to show you where sometimes it's to give away a hundred phones I'm pretty sure it would have been extremely difficult for me to buy a hundred phones and then give them all away and then ship them all internationally to the winners that would been impossible without the sponsors so that's the type of thing that I look to go to a sponsor for is to make stuff happen that couldn't ordinarily happen if you guys are ever at all curious about whether or not a device was provided for the video that I made about it you can always find that at the bottom of the description so if you see a review and you just want to know that's always going to be there you see smartwatches making a comeback in 2017 no not really I kind of see it the same way that tablets ended up tablets I made a video about if they're dying or not I think they kind of are if it's not an iPad it's kind of falling off the map in the tablet world I mean let's be real and it's kind of the same way smartwatches are now if it's not an Apple watch it's kind of off upon off the map which is pretty sad that doesn't mean there aren't other good smartwatches out there because there are there's really good smartwatches but in terms of sales volume brand awareness just people knowing about smartwatches pebble is gone all like a ton of the ones that we used to really put our name on like the Moto 360 that's gone it's the Apple watch or is nothing that's just the way it is plus predictions for those Clippers uh not looking too high I mean it's still like middle of the West but I'll say we will lose to either the Warriors or the Spurs where we play first because being a youtuber a career or a hobby what is your favorite meme at the moment awesome says if you could redo one video from the last eight years which would it be first of all Wow eight years have we been making videos for eight years second of all I almost have no good answer for this the one thing I can say is I did get to interview Kobe a while ago if I could redo that and meet Kobe again that would be pretty cool what do you expect from the pixel - okay so we know the pixel one the Google pixel was a surprise great phone from last year and we're kind of all but confirmed that we're going to see a pixel - this year what do I expect from it I have almost no clue all I know is stock Android the latest version there's people outside talking the designs we've seen from phones if you're already like the g6 with that great display and no bezel and also the Galaxy s8 coming kind of have me optimistic for probably a little bit of a more radical design for the pixel but again that the focus of the pixel has never really been designed I mean you go back to the Nexus it's all about the software so it's kind of a toss-up we'll see I'll be happy to see anyway that's where I'm gonna end this QA thank you so much for your questions and for your comments of course I'm looking forward to and if you want to be first in line to be able to ask questions for the next Q&A if you just want to see when it's happening be sure to follow on Twitter the link is below that's where I'll end it thanks for watching talk to guys the next one
