this episode of technobuffalo is brought to you by netflix hello internet and welcome back to another episode of ask the Buffalo the show where you can ask me Ashley ass gather any question you might have from the wide world of technology every tuesday we put up a call for questions on TechnoBuffalo calm you can leave your question there in the post comments otherwise you can send them to me at any time of the day or night on twitter app technobuffalo or at Ashley asked ebba just make sure you use the hashtag ask the be so I can see it and usually I answer between three and five questions every episode so let's get answering this is ask the Buffalo josh asks hey Ashley do you see curved phones becoming the next trend in smartphones or is it just something Samsung is doing this samsung galaxy round is a really interesting device I get how it could feel more comfortable in a pocket a front jeans pocket but I don't know that curved phones are really the future I think this is sort of a middle ground where we're kind of on our way to flexible devices which is a little ways out but I think we're on our way to flexible and to get there we kind of have to crawl before we can walk so to speak so I think that flexible devices are really the future future but for right now curved is where it might be going we'll see I am I don't know I don't I understand you know with the TV curved is more immersive but for a little tiny phone I don't know I don't think so paul asks hey Ashley what kind of car do you drive and are you into cars as much as John is or perhaps only the technology that is in them also what is your favorite car make well I will totally admit I'm a Hyundai fangirl I have driven a Hyundai ever since I bought cars on my very first car wasn't but my parents got me a little beater when I was 16 that I immediately flipped on the freeway three months later on the fourth of July so there's that but every car i've purchased has been a Hyundai I had no launcher in 2001 it lasted I still going strong i gave it to my grandma when i bought my new Hyundai which is a veloster her name is Vera she is gorgeous she's great I a salon gray I love cars I love cars i love how they look i love how they're designed i'm not a gearhead like John by any means but I did take auto shop in high school I do know how to switch out carburetor know how to switch out I know how to change oil know how to change the tires all the basic stuff that you need to know I think everybody should kind of know that stuff but I don't know why people don't but yeah I have a veloster I love it it is an amazing car I wish I had gotten a turbo but I will say it didn't come in the grey that I liked so it only came in matte grey so I had to skip the turbo but I love veera she's the best twitter user Kobe or die tryin asks if y'all were not professional tech reviewers would you still buy all the top phones with your own money hashtag ask the be so here's the deal about that uh actually most of the phones we get we send back a lot of the flagships we get for review go back home to the company so that other reviewers can then review the devices I still buy phones with my own money my iphone was purchased with my own cash it comes right out of my own pocket same thing for pretty much everyone here at the office unless you maybe want to do a long-form review then we'll hold on to a device for a little bit longer to see it you know how it performs over time we don't really get you know free phones raining from the sky I know it might seem like that but we you know have to share the love with all the other reviewers and websites and print outlets that are out there so PR companies will offer his phone we get them review them and we say okay buh-bye phone and then we have to send it away and it's very sad for user at blue bird told me says hey Ashley always were awesome t-shirts where do you get them from I buy my shirts everywhere on the internet this one today is from a podcast that I'm a huge fan of called welcome to night Vale it's super weird and super amazing the writing is incredible ah but otherwise I get my shirts from places like woot.com shirt.woot is another great one but if you want to go one of the places i really like is t magnet calm and you can actually see all of those sort of daily shirt sites they have them in a big grid so you can just see what's available all at once at the same time and then you can just go to each site based on what you want so that's where I shop for shirts guys I have to interrupt the show really quick to
