this episode of TechnoBuffalo is brought to you by lynda.com hello internet and welcome back to another episode of ask the buffalo the show you can ask me Ashley together any question you might have from the wide world of technology every Tuesday we put up a call for questions on TechnoBuffalo comm you can leave your questions in that post comment otherwise you can send her to me any time of the day or night at TechnoBuffalo or at ashley ask either on Twitter just use the hashtag ask the bee so I can see it and usually I answer between three and five questions every episode let's get answering this is ask the Buffalo our first question comes from Ben's fans club on Twitter he says get the Galaxy mega 6.3 or galaxy s4 or wait for the Galaxy Note 3 well the Galaxy mega 6.3 the thing I have a problem with this it's a 720p screen so you're not gonna get that beautiful crisp 1080p screen that you really want right now I think that's sort of a hot thing right now 1080p screens and it really actually shows resolution wise on that device as for the s4 it is a little bit older so I'm gonna say since we're more than likely gonna see the Note 3 at IFA this year in a couple of weeks I would wait for the Galaxy Note 3 but that's just my opinion I think the note 3 is sort of the best of both worlds you get that big screen size but then you also have all that speed and beautiful resolution that you have on the s4 twitter users son t guts 14 asks i'm starting last year of high school soon I need a new backpack with enough space for textbooks and laptop and charge devices all my suggestion is obviously the power bag I'm a huge fan of the power bag they have back packs that have 3000 and 6000 million batteries so you can charge all of your stuff you can charge your laptop you can charge your tablets your phones and you can take it with you to college because they're really super durable I have had one for tradeshows and that is honestly one of my absolute favorite things to have with me while I'm on a show floor Josh asks hey Ashley what does Nintendo need to do this holiday with the Xbox one and PlayStation 4 coming out of November this is a really good question that not a lot of people are actually asking so many people are so excited about the new consoles that everyone's kind of forgotten about what Nintendo needs to do strategy-wise this holiday season I think Nintendo strategy needs to be get those first party titles out I mean that's when intentos famous for the Mario's the Zelda's I would love to see a new Metroid I would love to see a full-blown Kid Icarus game and you know just bear with me on this it could be really amazing that's all I'm saying I think that they need to really look at their stable of characters what they have available and they need to just start cranking out those first party games because really that's where Nintendo's salvation lies Twitter user at Droid edge asks covering any upcoming trade shows and any advice for first-timers doing so yes actually I will be at IFA in Berlin so Aoife my nice - anybody going to a trade show I have definitely done a lot of the don'ts for trade shows which is like buy a new pair of sneakers the night before the show not a good idea so here are my dues for any trade show that you might be going to travel as light as possible you don't want to be bogged down with you know your 17 inch laptop and a whole bunch of camera equipment I mean really pare it down to the bare minimum of what you need and always bring a notepad and a pen just in case you run out of battery you don't have connectivity you want to remember something we're worn and sneakers definitely wear sneakers that you have worn before otherwise you will be on a train to blister town which is never fun I have certainly been there and for CES one year I was pretty miserable so we're worn and sneakers very important you want to bring a sport coat or something nice for a little bit of extra polish because you never know when you might snag an interview with a high-profile executive or you might want to be interviewed by a different news station or somebody might ask your opinion on camera and a sport coat or something light that just sort of polishes up a t-shirt and jeans look it's something that's always good to have on hand drink tons of water I this is a marathon that you're running especially at a show like CES where it lasts a week long for people who are pressed you want to continually be drinking water if you can bring your own water in from outside the tradeshow even better because you can buy it cheaper wash your hands hourly this is something I learned the hard way after it's my first year at CES they don't call it Khan crud for nothing it is a miserable I was sick for two weeks it will lay you out you have to remember how many people are touching phones all day long and you're touching those phones that all those other people have touched before you're putting them up to your hands you're rubbing your eyes you have to make sure to keep your hands clean super super important you're gonna be shaking a lot of hands there's so many germs out of convention just keep your hands clean because that will keep you from getting very very sick that's my number one piece of tradeshow advice and now we want to take a minute from answering your awesome questions to thank our friends and sponsors at lynda.com you can learn it at Lynda an online learning company with more than 77 thousand video tutorials that teach software creative and business skills al membership starts at just 25 bucks a month and you get unlimited 24/7 access to high-quality video courses taught by expert instructors with actual real-world experience al videos range from quick bite-sized tutorials to all the way into comprehensive courses and subjects like web design programming photography business animation and more they add new courses every week and you can save prioritize and track your progress for every course in your queue if you have an iPhone or an iPad there's also a lynda.com app for members so that you can learn on the go you could try lynda.com for free for seven days by visiting lynda.com/tekzilla flow so make sure you use that link so they know we sent you well that's it for this week's ask the Buffalo thank you so much for watching please give the show a thumbs up if you enjoyed it we really appreciate that and check us out at TechnoBuffalo comm for all the latest and greatest tech news until next week I'm Ashley Scapa see you next time hey guys Ashley here just wanted to let you know that if you liked what you just saw we've got two other shows that go live every single week Redinger rants where John totally goes nuts about issues that bug him across consumer technology and rumor roundup where he tells you all about the best rumors in the world of tech so click the text below that says subscribe and if you want to check out either of those shows click right over here see you next time thanks for watching
