this episode of TechnoBuffalo is brought to you by domain.com and wizard magic welcome back to another episode of ask the buffalo i'm your host jon rettinger where you can ask me anything that you want to know from the wide world of technology you can ask your questions one of two ways every tuesday will put an article up on TechnoBuffalo com asking for your questions and then if you're not feeling so tuesday 'ish you can go ahead and send your questions to us any day of the week at technobuffalo and use the hashtag ask the bee this is asked to Buffalo let's go ahead and get started this one comes from Twitter and it's from user Luke JW 93 who asks what do you think the biggest innovation in mobile phones will be in the next five years at some point the processors have got to sort of slow down a little bit and become a bit more optimized so we're coming to quad core right now you know eight core eight core something crazy to say eight core 16 cores might be standard five years from now the power that smartphones have now are almost equivalent to the power that computers had five years ago so you probably don't have to look much farther than your desktop to see what your smartphone is going to have I think we're going to see a really big push for glasses-free 3d particularly stereoscopic technology and hopefully do it in a way it does it make your brain feel like it wants to fall out in a pulsing pound of headache I think we also might see pico projectors finally become mainstream as they get smaller and smaller so you can pico project what you're looking at on to onto a screen I think we're certainly going to see phones get larger and larger and larger then see phones get smaller and smaller and smaller again so in five years we'll probably have 40 inch phones to put in our big fat pockets solely that help answer your question so the next question is a little bit to do with the TechnoBuffalo website itself and how we dictate what content goes up there this question comes from I geek TV plus how do you use analytics to help you develop your audience we use analytics quiet but fozia don't know what analytics are there are tools that sort of show you what people are looking at how many people are looking at them what quantity what times where they are in the demographics we as Google Analytics primarily and that's a free option that most websites take advantage of that helps us dictate what content you guys like to read and what videos I need to make that you guys like to see now there are examples and times when we go totally go counter to what analytics would tell us to do because we think a topic is really interesting to us or one of the staff and we'll go ahead and post those anyways that's the primary way that we use analytics hopefully that helped answer your question so Mobile World Congress is coming up very quickly in Barcelona you might hear abbreviated as mwc and it's generally where we see new smartphones and what we're going to see over the next year released on a global stage technobuffalo will be there in full effect and user PT tech HD asks what do you think about the samsung galaxy s3 not being shown at Mobile World Congress what do you think the star of the show will be well Samsung never said they were going to have the galaxy s3 there and they kind of hinted at maybe they weren't going to have it if the galaxy s3 is not shown presumably the only quad-core phone that will see will be the HTC edge is what it's been remember to be called which will be rocking a quad-core processor HTC's been in bed with qualcomm for a while and their snapdragon chips but there have been rumors that we might see some NVIDIA Tegra 3 action smacked into an HTC phone so that will probably steal the stage socially that helped answer your question and speaking of question in seamless transitions I want to go ahead and thank our friends at domain.com a website that I use quite a bit domain com is perfect for that moment when genius strikes you need to snag the domain fast to one-stop shopping for setting up a website to start a business blog or Internet altering social media mega app so if you want to start John's hipster glasses calm domain com is gonna be where you're gonna want to go to do that domain.com quickly shows you available name is making it easy to select domain extension that's right for you but you don't want to pay full price do you there's like you're at a techno Buffalo watcher you know we got your back so the guys domain.com love techno Buffalo and are giving you our fans fifteen percent off when you use coupon code he be at checkout plus if you go to domain.com / TV they'll throw in a free 2 gigabyte jump drive available while supplies last so don't forget when you think domain names think domain.com go ahead and go back to questions alright so our next question comes from Twitter and perhaps one of the best user names I've ever heard mr. Danielson wants to know John what do you think the best smartphone is at the moment so the smartphone that I've got in my pocket right now is the samsung galaxy note is 5.3 inch behemoth and you hold it up your face it is huge and it's strange and it's big but I love this guy I love how big the screen as I find myself very really using my iPad I'm sitting on the couch from doing fantasy sports or I'm checking the side or sending an update this phone has been absolutely awesome and it's got a ridiculously long lasting battery now you'd say oh it's a big faux it's got a big battery generally when i get home and plug this phone at the end of the day mound midnight ish i usually have between forty and fifty percent of battery left and i've tested pretty much every mobile phone in the past few years and generally with other devices i'm lucky to have twenty percent by end of the day with them galaxy note is probably one of my favorite smartphones on the planet my number two would be the HTC Titan again big screen sir seems to be a trend with me I love windows phone 7 I don't care that it's only using a single core processor the experience is seamless and that's what matters to me is the end user experience however that Titan too it's coming very soon it's going to get even better bringing LTE and a whopping 16 megapixel camera to the market to hopefully that helped answer your question mr. Danielson now bow to your sensei Cobra Kai who wants to be the bad guy in a crowded kid movies um it would guess thank you for watching another episode I've asked the Buffalo we will be here every Monday entering your questions here to checkout TechnoBuffalo com for all of your tech news thank you to our friends at domain.com thanking you for watching thank you too I don't know just thank you i'm jon rettinger and i'll see you the next video bye bye Kubrick hi
