this episode of technobuffalo is brought to you by full sail university hello internet and welcome back to another episode of ask the Buffalo the show where you can ask me Ashley ask ever 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 in the post comments otherwise you can send them to me anytime of the day or night on twitter at technobuffalo or at Ashley ask ever but make sure you use the hashtag ask the be so I can see it usually every show I answer between three and five questions so let's get answering cuz this is ask the Buffalo josh asks hey Ashley I was curious which character thus far announced for super smash brothers we use / 3ds will you play as I'm a big super smash brothers fan all the way back to the original but I always play as metroid samus iran and will continue to do so until i die or they remove the character although this summer on i may take a spin with pit from Kid Icarus cuz I'm a huge fan have a little nostalgia for Kid Icarus if I had a dream character for super smash brothers that I could add it would either be Sora from kingdom hearts or or and this is my favorite mallow from Super Mario RPG on Super Nintendo I don't you guys remember this game but seriously how amazing would be would combat with malo be it would be the best thing ever he's like that little marshmallow dude with the long arms Sarov asks ashley now that Apple iPhone 5 is being discontinued do you know what Apple did with the remaining stock any chance we'll see them for sale in the near future via any third party seller this is a really good question and I think a lot of people have this one but on my end pure and total speculation but I would imagine that any iphone 5s Apple had in house would be dismantled and repurposed for the iphone 5c since they have the same guts in the same dimensions of the five they just have that polycarbonate back I don't know that we'll be seeing any like third-party retailers get like a fire sale of stock of the iphone 5 it's not really how Apple sort of functions but I do think that you are still at this time able to sort of I and iphone 5s here and there if you go to the right place oh yeah I have a feeling there anything anything Apple has in stock i have a feeling are being repurposed for iphone 5cs twitter user Kevin Driscoll 13 says do you think apples ibeacon will overtake NFC or do you think it'll fade out an apple will support NFC later this is actually an awesome question because certainly this is a battle of you know different near field communication projects I really think this is going to be a case of who makes a killer application for either tech first not necessarily an app but an application so a real-world use case that is amazing super compelling and basically makes it mandatory to have that technology and a phone there's really not one mega reason to have NFC right now or I beacon and the first OS to utilize their respective technology is gonna likely dominate so think of it like the blu-ray and HD DVD war at some point one has got to give so I definitely think at some point we'll see who wins the war on it I think I beacon on one hand has a lot of really interesting potential applications but NFC does too and is already in use like relatively and it's not proprietary or locked to just Apple devices so it is a toss-up and don't forget apple doesn't necessarily have a lot of success in terms of like I add for example has not really become like any kind of industry standard so it's definitely up in the air I don't know who's gonna win but I'm really curious to find out I think we will know and maybe the next three to five years app geek 98 asks when did you start getting interests in tech stuff and gadgets that's a sweet question I have been interested in technology ever since I was a kid I got my first Nintendo when I was three years old so my first NES my first piece of major technology was an NES and I remember being super excited about it I remember playing Simon's quest ever playing castlevania to with my mom I thought she was such a cool mom for being able to beat castlevania to I thought it was amazing I have always loved technology I've always wanted to have the latest and greatest I started building my own pcs when I was a teenager I still do that to this day I love buying all the parts buying a new case putting in a gather it's just such a nice feeling to be able to sort of do it yourself I think that I also ended up getting right on the cusp of like when we started getting the internet when we started seeing video games really come into its own so I just sort of ended up in the right place at the right time in terms of technology coming up when I was the right age to really appreciate it I wasn't young enough to take it for granted but I was definitely not old enough to sort of understand the implications of it later or be afraid of it so i know that some older people are like afraid of technology but thank God I'm not that old um but yeah that's when I got started so three years old I've been in a tech since I was a kid I gotta interrupt this episode really quick with a little shout out to full sail university obviously apps right now are huge they are everywhere and we've all had these ideas that make us safe oh
