2015-02-21
hi may your hair looks frosty and what's wrong with my natural highlights to seeing you without a tommy hilfiger polo is weird that shirt makes you look fat and yeah right back at you man we have a more premium look now and I'll make sure not to put myself on discount after that one that's right it's that time of the week I am hi Mary that this is pocket now and this is the bargain house daily recap for last week brought to you by Squarespace so on Monday ask you what do you think about VR headsets as LG has just launched the 3d our headset in certain markets for the LG g3 a good way to start we have 447 comments out of which sense says it's been what more than a year since these VR headsets started showing up and I still have no idea what the hell they are good for um they're good for gaming and there are other uses out there but still I do get your point they haven't taken off and I think there's a reason for that we saw the cardboard design we've signed the Samsung gear stuff and probably this free one will do but the fact that it's free tells us a lot about how bad a technology is right now good point and flame says why would I need a VR for my mobile phone sorry if I'm gonna be going around in public with my g3 strapped to my face if I want to be our gaming I'll pick up an oculus not an attachment for a phone good point it's better to have something that stand alone than have your phone on your face and your battery going dead at some point then Harrison says I think the VR will be more mainstream when a it gets cheaper and be when it stops looking like something that's eating my face and you're watching too many alien movies but yeah true about the cheaper part though we'll see how this LG one performs being free then on Tuesday asked you if you would prefer for Apple to improve its car play services that haven't taken off or if you want an apple car as the rumors are that Apple has hired as many as 50 Tesla employees and apparently that's a thousand employee project from Apple there are a lot more rumors about this we have 448 comments out of which CD gaming says I think I would rather have an update to carplay car play is just the pretty ugly and the benefit of being able to install car plate in any car if you want it's pretty great I do agree with that would rather have a service that I could install on any car then have a car that I would have to buy which is definitely not affordable then 10 says I think the I car is going to be a self-driving car just like the google one anyone agree the difference is the Google car still not being sold that up assess oh boy I can already see it the Apple car last five hours of driving cost the same as a Lambo and if I hit a pole or something the car will be totally destroyed and people will wait on the totally new Apple stores that now sells cars and the specific feel for the I car for months um yeah you're talking about experience here that on Wednesday asked you what do you think android wear needs to do to become popular as well there is the study that shows that it's only a tiny fraction of the amount of wearables that are being sold in the market we have 1078 comments thanks a lot guys out of which coyote says android wear needs to become a standalone device to become successful i would be able to forget my phone at home when i go out and jog and i still retain all the phone's functionality then it wouldn't be Android wear it would be an android phone and a watch but there are products that can do this and that haven't taken off light for example the Sony SmartWatch 3 for example can lock your run without the need of your phone but then again yeah the lack of compatibility of applications is really what's making this sluggish so I do get your point and Erin says well Android wear was only in its first generation last year prices will go down and the OS improvements Willie made as time goes on then we can expect to see Android wear take off and have seventy percent of the SmartWatch market by 2020 we'll see for me it's a battery life issue really the lewis says just like android on a smartphone it was mediocre in the beginning but as the years went by nick got better now it's the biggest platform in the world as you said that same will happen for Android wear as well could be we'll see if they figure it out again i think it's a battery life issue but on Thursday ask you something new to share your theft cases or memories as well the news are that Apple's investment in the whole activation lock feature has made a lot better for iPhones it has dropped the theft rates by forty percent fifty percent in some countries we have 370 comments out of which Prince Armstrong says ain't nobody stealing my smartphone I will fight you to death if I have to it's mine I wish everybody could actually say that that's true after it got stolen then harsh says was walking down the street with my new iphone 5 was very happy that I finally bought an iphone then suddenly a man pushed me and starts running I thought that he was just in a hurry but when I reached my destination I realized that my phone had been stolen that as far as that I had not activated find my iphone please do so android the vice manager or find my iphone do so now if you have it then Abu says I had my sony ericsson k750 stolen for me years ago since then I think I must have found there were 15 phones that someone had lost them every single time I made sure that to find that who would belong to and returned it really cool dude paid forward and I think everybody should do that but the point being is Apple has doing something really cool with activation lock cool with Android device manager these are new laws that are forcing people to not be able to activate a phone after stolen or found which is really cool and it's going to make that a mainstream going forward and then finally on Friday I asked you if Windows still in its preview would be enough to make you switch to Windows 10 as up the preview for phones is now out and we tested it then we like some things we didn't like others we have three and 61 comments out of which one of them says after Windows 10 update the platform should have more companies making windows phones like Motorola LG at other brands in that case I might pick it up and hopefully but the thing is Windows 10 doesn't really look that different to Windows Phone currently so that's going to be interesting Michael he menaces it's hard to switch from android OS or iOS the windows zone because of the many apps that are not windows compatible if windows managed to get more apps and update them faster people won't have an excuse to try windows you know the app gap is getting closed the problem is not really the app gap anymore it's really how the apps perform try Spotify for example you have to refresh modify every single time you launch it on windows phone so what's the point about having Spotify have it play so badly really that's what Microsoft needs to focus on when Jasmine says no update for the 1520 Wow and I felt the same about my lumia 930 only the 830 got the update and that's really bad I hate that fragmentation problem with Microsoft really a lot of people that adopt that Windows Phone years ago became sour over what happened between windows 7 and windows 8 windows 6.5 in windows 7 and it seems to happen with Windows 10 again so I don't know I get your point I agree with it and sadly oh my god we'll see what Microsoft does going forward this episode of the pocket out daily recap was
