and welcome to episode 19 take two of the TechnoBuffalo show I'm on your to host for this week shot on me editor-in-chief of the site i'm joined by Todd Hazleton executive editor mobile everybody first off for those of you that are wondering why I said take two we did try doing the show last week something went horribly wrong and we're still not quite sure what the heck happened so no idea yeah we have no idea so we're back and we're going to try this episode again we do have people monitoring if there's any problems this time yeah so hopefully we don't run the issue it look like something between hangouts and YouTube that was causing the problem exactly exactly and I had something else to tell them oh the reason Joey's not here Joey does have a new computer however he and I have tried doing hangouts this week and it's not been pretty uh so we're trying to figure out a solution to get through though uh you know I'm sorry two frames per second just wasn't working it was like hi John how are ya good real the scenery yeah real jittery so Joey will be returning to the show so we're going to go ahead and go with the topic we had for last week and that's the fact that follows coming up and it looks like we are just going to be inundated with new disease hey I can rattle off the dates now I was going through Merliah yeah well Todd yeah we can't give away you know who all you're seeing but how many means do you have next week for pre briefings for Aoife um well one days is pretty much all day of meetings I mean running around New York City so and then we also have press conferences actually to HTC has one on the 19th a sprint has one on the 19th their edge event which I'm still don't even know I'm not even sure what to expect from that it could be you know I guess they've announced are going back to all edge yeah well they were actually never an edge network because they were cdna that's right Eric so that their 3g was a video for those that don't know what a pre-brief is that means we actually go to a meeting and we get to see what's going to be announced you know we we know the announcements coming and this is just a chance for us to see the device early take our pictures right up our thoughts and so on and then we have to release them at a set embargo time so yeah is it all yeah next week is all about Aoife pre briefings and for those of you that aren't familiar with Aoife it's kind of like the european version of CES it which is over in berlin and cod will be in attendance at Aoife this year and it sounds like you're going to have a very busy week yeah I've been in in past years and sometimes you know there's not much I remember one year was just when samsung released their first galaxy tab and then other years you know it's insane so this year looks like an insane year like here I'll rattle off the dates I have them in front of me so we have HTC and sprint on the 19th that's next week then September third is uh the galaxy note 4 event probably I mean it I mean Samsung pretty much gave it away the invite right it said like knows to date that picture of their the s-pen kind of stuff going on and then sony's press conference is on the 3rd also and I don't know what to expect from that but i'm guessing xperia z3 on there's been a lot of an z3 compact i would say yeah yeah leaks to that and it looked like um at least aspects that we've heard about so far it sounds like it's almost like really similar the Xperia z2 just maybe with a new body because like Snapdragon 801 and and three gigs of ram and the 20.7 megapixel camera all that stuff so I don't know um what's going on there and then actually I should say sometime between here and there I think we might hear something from Motorola to write like they should have something going on because it's coming to the end of the summer so expect that and then let's see September fourth HTC just announced that they're holding a press conference in berlin microsoft also on September fourth lenovo also on September fourth intel on the fifth and then I come right back and the rumors say on the ninth is the iphone 6 event why motorola has an answer event remember it's September fourth up in Chicago right right right right okay yeah it would which Roy will be attending that good that's brilliant yo schedule an event in the United States when everybody is uh busy right yes so yeah it looks like it's going to be a very very busy busy time coming up here right so it's gonna be crazy fall and a lot to look forward to I think the note 4 looks like an awesome device um and all these rumors are saying like new sensors and you know what was the one that UV sensor on the back slick you know when they get sunburn or when you might get sunburned or like the Sun levels outside that's crazy that that's nuts to me and then today we had the galaxy alpha which was I mean it is the first metal phone in recent memory that samsung launched and they had promised one was coming but it still leaves it open like as the pictures of the leak note for kind of looked like it had a metal chasis too and I hope it does that would be really nice yeah so i I just I the thing is do you think it's smart for all these companies to release all their products in such a small window I mean yes you can see there's brand loyalty I if somebody's already on iphone they're probably going to stay on iphone right so they're going to ignore all this other stuff going on but if you're an Android user it almost feels like these companies are cutting each other's throats and their own yeah it does seem like that for consumers hopefully it's a good thing because I got to have you know standout features for everything note 4 is a good one and a good example of this battle because especially apparently Samsung's trying to get it out to market like ASAP because of the you know rumored iphone air the 5.5 inch screen and so I think that we're going to see a lot of distinguishing features coming in the fall all that without trying to give away anything that's far they seem well the distinguish you know the smartphone's from each other more so that we have in the past and to give consumers a reason to stick with one product over another just a small example of that is sort of the world that you know samsung smart watches only work with their products and I'm curious to see how their VR headset if that's announced with the note for an ephah if that's only supportive I stamps on products with the the right APK files as we saw on some of the week so we'll see well and we've got that trademark filing that for what was it called the note edge Yeah right will do apparently the three second phone reset greens note edge edge event haha I think it's too soon though yeah those I believe me I thought of that as I'm sitting here I but that's really interesting but I feel like if it's this unique smartphone with three displays you know it would be a global event but I'm not so sure you're right because what was the kyocera flip phone remember that thing it was like a clamshell but it was like almost like a 3ds and I'd write to sprint um also they'll remember the edge invitation showed diamonds huh which has many facets in galaxy yeah that's interesting hmm no not picking stars well welcome folks to us thinking on the run but no I I don't I don't tend to believe that one human again even though I thought of it simply because the note 4 is so close to release I don't think they're going to do anything else with note that is closed up mm-hmm take the edge off it says I wonder it could just be like diamonds are strong and sharp and can't scratch sapphire mighty I this is the fun we folks you should see when the iphone invitation comes in and we all like well what does this shadow mean here oh which remember which device wasn't that we were taking screenshots of our screens to measure the distance between apps right yeah I forgot about that yeah we were sitting here like leo well ok notice that the raindrop here is slightly high what does this tell us about the resolution oh good grill that that that was a fun day but I don't know it's gonna be an interesting fall it's it's worrying in a lot of ways I mean great you know we're gonna have a lot to cover but as a consumer I just I wouldn't know what to do right now yeah what do you buy but I guess you know this is sort of if you think about it they're announcing these in September they might say i think a lot of these companies might say available in the next point once and then sort of on the market ready for holiday so this is sort of the holiday buyers yeah I they need to have I think we're due for a refresh in a lot of ways from a lot of these companies so yeah it's nuts so we we've got a couple questions coming in here for stuff related to the fall here and Sasha Mahal asks way you think the iphone 6 will have feature wise i think it will make calls and I I think it will have some web browsing and apps yeah I'm curious to see what it had I mean feature wise i think it'll have everything we you know all the rumors have had that we've written ten thousand times with it but i think you know larger display with 4.7 inches improve touch ID it's apparently going to be I guess able to recognize your fingerprint quicker um what else have we heard you know thinner body hopefully more storage or I'd love to see you like 128 gig iphone but I don't know yeah you know and that's the thing though you know okay finds the the 5 and 5s we're definitely seeing a body change with the six but really what else can a Polly do at this point to make their phones that innovative anymore well I think a lot I think what we're seeing is sort of the software play and with Yosemite and iOS 8 and the way that they work together and you can you know go back and forth between your phone and your computer I think that sort of makes you you know stick inside the ecosystem say like well you know i'm going to use an iphone now too but speaking of that I mean looks like Google is doing the same thing with chrome OS and Chromebooks and talking Android which would be really excited see I actually can't wait that quick quick for those that may have missed the first few meds where is Joey Joey will be back Joey's having computer problems he's not off the show it's just a matter of technology not being cooperative ok so next up we have from a Drake carries EV is Android L coming to the nexus 4 i believe so not at least not officially yet but i wouldn't be surprised to see some improvement yeah it seems you even if the nexus 6 releases that's only two generations back it it seems likely that it will get anger del but uh get everything right now officially it's just Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 yeah but mexis for seems likely but yeah we do not know official i'm sure there's sure there are guides to get it on uh speaking also of new devices in the fall Sasha Mahal asks do you think that the Moto 360 will be worth it when it eventually is released and how much could it go for should you and I go over our thoughts so far on Android wear yeah I actually put it on I I think the only time I put it on is this podcast too slowly ok I'll word um if there's nothing good about it waiting I think there's potential I think there's potential for Android wear but I first thought we think the Moto 360 is going to cost more than the the G watch or the gear live yea I'm guessing like 3 350 right and this is not a condemnation of the 360 this is a whole problem just with Android wear and the fact is Android wear was not for the public yeah it just does nothing it'll like it's delayed in a lot of ways I'm gonna hang out you know 10 minutes later I can put this on earlier and I gotta hang out for like from this morning like what that pebble is so much better yeah I mean you do get the colored screen which is cool naughty could do anything with it hmm I'm trying to like there we go xvid there's a lot of swiping around yeah I don't waste your money on it now yeah maybe maybe they'll get some good app soon but like right now I haven't found any app that would make it worth it and I heard you know I've read reports um bill good friend of ours from Android Central I guess was trying to check in to a flight and I think he was using the tell to happen like it just he was like yeah just not made for your wrist like a boarding pass so I mean that was the only thing that kind of seemed cool about it to me at first yeah I mean I just I even those last trip I went on after urban I just used my iphone for my boarding pass as that's what I you these days too now so nope sorry the 360 now unless it's like let's like got great battery life and is introduced I mean we can't forget that Motorola is still working with Google right like I think they're still part of Google the deal hasn't closed with Lenovo so I think you still have some of that team there that worked on the Moto X and those devices and that's a fantastic device and if they take some of that inspiration and the cool stuff that they did there and bring it over to the watch then maybe there's just unique features to the Moto 360 that make it worth buying so that's Rosie so we we've got a couple questions here from and I'm going to apologize in advance shashwat punjabi i I'm very sorry if I mispronounced your name what do you guys think about the samsung galaxy alpha uh I'm just gonna say from a physical look hey who put the samsung logo on my iPhone yes seriously that's crazy I mean it's cool that Samsung's finally listening to people in using metal and their phones but it does look like an iPhone to me except from not from the back but you know sighs still get precisely from the red screen right mm-hmm p i think it was so not even 1080 p which is crazy and then no expandable storage so no microSD and I know that manufacturers have said well it's hard when we have a body you can't like you know add that well HTC sort of proved everybody wrong with the One m8 I mean it can be done so maybe it's to keep costs down I'm even you have the metal body it's a little more expensive and you don't want to toss a 1080p screen on there i don't know but again just HTC did it so i will say that you know i keep meaning to ask you this and this is the perfect time because I'm sure I'm not the only one who does another sigh I was responsible folks for rang up the spec pages you see on the product pages so I'm entering all the sensors what in the world is a hall sensor I have no idea hall sensor it is samsung has been putting it on like every phone now for all of here Oh voltage I guess okay because everyone needs that I don't know me no I mean like maybe it's just so that the I have no idea but maybe so that the power is always well I'll say this they they loaded the sucker with sensors I uh huh it's swimming in sensors but yeah I just you know for as long as we'd been following this phone and everyone's like you know oh it there's going to be an all metal found on all that it's very mid-range you know and it's freaky to me to say that a 720p display is mid-range you know when a year ago it wasn't but you know when you've got 2k displays coming out in 4k displays and just about everybody's at 1080p you just if you're trying to go in a new direction you don't launch it with a lower tier display right yeah what's the point especially when you're a company known for your screens yeah exactly right Hall effect I looked it up by I think it's for having a more accurate compass gotcha okay so I every time the samsung phone i write that up I'm like what is this I you know does it check your hall pass to make sure you're allowed to go to the restroom yeah right this is first time I've ever heard of its that's interesting yeah from fayez alum again folks I am sorry if I mispronounced names is buying nexus 7 worth it not right now yeah I probably just wait a little bit and see I mean there's a lot of rumors about HTC and Google and building this nexus 8 i'd wait see what comes out when Nexus I mean Google's promised next Android L this fall for the final release and I'm sure they're gonna have new products that it with it so I believe even though I mean you can be safe and knowing that your nexus 7 will get it but again if you just wait till the fall the price will drop on that yeah well and let's be very clear we are not in any way saying that Nexus 7 is not a great tablet actually is a great tablet yeah i love the nexus 7 but we're so on the cusp of so many tablets coming out at this point i would just wait and at least until after Eva yeah just see what you know just you you know what's coming soon yeah I cuz that there's so many I'm sure there I'm sure there's a lot of the tablets that Aoife that will be going I'm sorry what was that mouthful of a name oh yeah that that's Todd's of my favorite game when he has to you know do a video on the a 9700 dash two yeah FY yeah and there's one but but this is the one with the 13-megapixel camera because the other one Fc model is launching latin america with an 8 megapixel cam so don't get them confused what was it was it felt like two years ago you you would run into like four or five tablets from the same company that all had model names like that sleep I don't have any conversations you and I had about wait that's the one wet wait what Aoife stuff too cuz a lot of the spec sheets and stuff and I'm the feature guards are in German that's crazy I mean they're hosting an important out but it's hard for us as you guys presently as things fall off the top of my imac because I'm but you know what it seemed yes and stuff they frequently have don't they frequently have like different language guides they do do they get so yeah so be interesting uh let's see here we've got a holy gotta live questions thank you all everyone for sending those in from Benjamin MacDonald will the Moto G get Android L yeah i think is affirmed right I think my Moto G you confirm you have to don't worry there we've got a couple questions on this so what even though this is gaming and joey is not here to comment joey and i actually were talking about this this morning from Drakkar zv what do you think of the rise of the Tomb Raider being Xbox exclusive I think it's freaking stupid well first off ahead look it was cleared up this morning that is a timed exclusive right so it is coming to the PlayStation 4 we just don't know when yet that being said that was a really stupid announcement yesterday um wonder how many people like ran out oh it what you should if you got over to Crystal Dynamics blog and looked at the comments basically plagues were were wished upon Crystal Dynamics along with Beth and everything else Wow tomb raider was a dying franchise up until the reboot and the fact that the playstation 4 selling so many more consoles right now than the xbox one that's not us saying that it's better than peer mathematical fact the fact that the playstation 4 selling more units than the xbox one right now it was just not a wise move and you have to wonder how much money microsoft threw at them to get this but that being said now that we know it's a time exclusive a ya get something soon yeah you know and there there's every chance that the PlayStation version will come with something extra because of the extra delay that'd be nice day out worth the wait yeah exactly so I wouldn't get too worked up about it especially since it's time to exclusive at this point hmm oh well I i can tell todd i'll let you answer this one from shashwat punjabi is it worth buying a note 3 right now with the note for being announced at Aoife ya know same thing i believe especially because there's rumors that samsung is going to try to get to market really quickly so it doesn't sound like there's a big waiting period too well and there's also a good chance that the note 3 will see a massive price reduction yeah as soon as the note 4 is a noun so if the note 4 isn't appealing to you and you go oh I wish I could on three it will stick around for a while and you'll probably see a massive price drop on that mm-hmm so very still a great phone though I still low oh my oh heck my mothers still using a note 2 and she loves it yeah because EFA's in what three weeks four weeks yeah it's creepin up a lot of stuff I lied to him on the first so so yeah if you can wait I'd wait without question hmm from Benjamin MacDonald will android TV kill ps4 and xbox one no way yeah absolutely no way it's somewhat like comparing apples and oranges you're talking about a streaming service / device compared to a gaming console / streaming service and it's going to have more power you know the consoles are gonna have more power it's now yeah it's just not possible uh oh here's an interesting question from Tehran Sorenson do you feel that there are good wireless hdmi displayport products for home computer users gamers I've really I've known this way yeah me neither yeah I I don't know why I wireless hdmi to me just sounds problematic yes I remember reporting on it years ago um when it was coming to fruition I don't think I've really played with it since then I thought I think I suppose yeah I would love to try it too I just my feeling has always been that you're talking about high definition content I can't imagine they're not being some lag yeah and some loss iya ya so it's just not been something that any of us have ever tried you know yes believe me I have spaghetti behind my television like yeah how do you find towards see the extenders now um ok so my television has four ports I have two splitters ready I'm looking at my gadgets i think i have three things for things that's funny taurus there oh yeah yeah super t-cell like okay um so as the streaming guy I've got yo name is on fire TV hooked up a Roku hooked up I've got xbox one playstation 4 the lead so between those two devices uh that's another nine ports so I have 11 hdmi ports that's crazy one of my splitters though is kind of cool because it has two outputs so we actually we drilled a hole through the floor of our family room we have drop ceilings in our basement and we're an HDMI one hdmi cable under the floor up to the television in the kitchen so now like if we're watching something on roku it can show them both televisions oh that's awesome yeah yes and it was a interesting fun project yo wait wait I can't find the hole ah yeah it's since we have drop ceilings we were like yeah why not yeah right easier but makes it on the appletv so yeah the appletv the broken and the fire TV go through this those two splitter babe yeah I've got just a few hdmi ports so yes I I could understand the appeal wireless HDMI but still I don't know I'm not sure it really ever caught on mm-hmm so like it I think like I think the only place i've seen is in like high-end you know houses where they have to it's just like like a couple feet away from the box and they hang the TV on the wall is you know nephrotoxic troll hole but I've never really seen how it works yeah and well it works whether I definitely could understand if you want to hang your television you know I I can get that but I I just I don't know I still think there has to be some sort of signal loss yeah like one intra review and didn't examine that like I said I haven't even heard it mentioned I mean you can walk his I'm yeah you mentioned you wrote about years ago and I remember writing about as well but I really i can't remember last time I saw anyone even talk about it yeah we have a mystery to solve now yeah let's look at you now we just need a talking dog and yeah we got away with it two of you have been for you meddling kids from Julian Stevens when do you think the Moto 360 will be released I I think any time now yeah it seems like it's coming up they're coming free Todd like in here the fleece yep that's 29 stories away Wow from the 29 yeah yeah I'm Way up here its last time my my dad's father was the captain of a fire department in Phoenix and he drilled into me never ever stay above the sixth floor of a building up dream and live up here yeah because that is as high as hook and ladders go yeah I'm dude so even when I stay at hotel I'm like first floor first floor yeah I can't like that hotels too but I don't know yeah i just i prefer first floor thanks Nick you've been Hatton right here yeah I know uh let's see Oh interesting question from Benjamin McDonald I have a moto g I have a lot of scratches on it I hate cases what is the best way to fix scratches I really don't know yeah I don't know either yeah I don't talk to me about scratches I'm the guy that tried boiling his call of duty game and rubbing peanut butter and toothpaste on it I was trying to get the scratches half f it and I would read like every guide online and by the time i was done it was just scratched to smithereens ya gotta love it yeah unfortunately benjamin that's the majority of the the TechnoBuffalo crew or case people yeah actually hear your case too yeah I all all my phones are in kit well not all my phones like because oddly enough no one's making a case for the moto one herb for the oneplus one yet even on amazon not that I've seen ah i'll have to look some more but I mean that feel like people on Amazon of cases for phones don't exist yet like yeah the thing is there's like 10,000 people i have the one plus one right yeah yeah who's gonna make a case fat and no we're not going to discuss the contest yeah no uh from oh I'm going to apologize in advance again damad har fota I am so sorry when do you think the mac mini will be refreshed um I don't know wasn't there rumors about that happening soon yeah what let me see anything we'll check that lets people yeah i'm i'm pulling up when was the last time the mac mini was refreshed um it was recently mentioned on apple's website amid 2014 model it doesn't exist yet so right so it's been six hundred fifty nine days since the last refresh Thank You macrumors uh and the average is distance yeah it's the average is three hundred seventy three days so it's way overdue but yeah that you're sort of see what they do with the next one yeah there there was a mention though however in a recent device guide published by apple of the mention of a mac mini 2014 so I would assume it's coming this fall yeah it is referred to as the mid-2014 so i would say any day now my guess is there it won't be announced at an event though it'll just appear on apple site unless it has like a unique new body I mean approaching seven hundred days seems like they could give plenty of time to do something no yeah uh I would assume very soon so uh from oh my from siddhant Gotama is Moto X a goodbye yes but I would wait since we're probably seeing the Moto X plus one soon yeah that's why the title of the show is bitty busy fall because all these products are getting refreshed but yeah moto X is a great buy actually Joey on our staff still uses one else's daily driver dad Joey loves his moto x and and Joey's not a phone guy right uh Sasha I know you've been asking us from last week hey Sean any thoughts on guardians of the galaxy haven't seen it yet really doc I'm so when do I have time to go out to the field yeah and my prime movie watching time is their airplane flights yep that's the only time i watch movies yeah i know i believe me my iPad is loaded to the gills and the second i sit down that seat i'm watching catching up on uh-huh from shush wat punjabi what do you think about the Amazon fire phone um well I obviously haven't had a lot of time with it but I did play with it before it was released that wasn't I was not impressed and I are guys in the office you have it or not impressed either yeah I played with it when I was out in irvine yeah no not even at all first try the problem is to like okay the Firefly feature is neat right like you can scan objects and you can buy it from the Amazon but you can do that in Android and iOS apps with it's called flow it just it just doesn't like recognize TV shows and music which Firefly does but like I feel like that was like one of the big standout features right aside from the what a dynamic perspective display which seems kind of pointless to me oh no yeah as well and they blew it with the pricing yeah I really think they should have done and I think you agreed and we talked about this on one episode like a moto x style sale 350 bucks I'd have one on my desk yeah that was pretty much what all does set if he'd come in at a lower price most of us would about it and also the fact that they went carrier exclusive and that's not a slam on 18t whatsoever right but limiting yeah it if they got exclusive with verizon exclusive with tmobile exclusive of spring any of them I was at the same thing I just think carrier exclusivity was not a bright idea yeah and now I'm saying I'd have it on my desk because I probably would have bought it the day it was announced I'm not sure I pocket now even at 350 box same here same here I you and I both have a bad addiction to buying edges buying gadgets I in I'm although i will say probably the biggest regret I've ever had is that lasted g-watch yep but Sir Tom what you're gonna do yeah but hey i bought a Chromebook yesterday so yeah see that's what i need to get in mine Chromebook it I used one when i was on irvine i liked it and for the price that deal yesterday on amazon him is really hard to say no to especially since they'll work on t-mobile's free data system right i kind of want to check out the tiger k 1 powered was easier that just they just announced to yeah because that seems like a pretty powerful chip we saw it in the shield tablet and that thing a thing cruises through games so I'm interested to see um if there's any way that I can edit video on a Chromebook then I probably use one like all the time yeah looks really chose and stuff I don't know if it's a battery that's fight you sent me to four alternatives to audacity mm-hmm listen some alternatives to video editing ooh yeah very interest you mean why I bookmark that site it's been better that's really interesting yeah cuz i love my macbook air but i just i don't know there's something about the Chromebook the battery life in just the simplicity of it all you know it's just the web right now where we spend that's where we spend ninety nine percent of our time you know any time my internets gone down i'm like now what now what I'm here it's like I guess I could go into word and edit a document yeah what's the plan we do that yeah well you're easy from taj mahal good question with back to school going on which would be better for college the regular 13-inch macbook pro or the retina macbook pro the program requires game macbook pro the program is journalism um mmm you Greta seems pretty sweet it's expensive though depends what your budget is you'll be totally fine with a 13-inch MacBook Pro ya BA if you're not doing video editing or heavy graphics editing I think you could go away without doing the retina um I'm curious with journalism why they don't allow macbook air I mean you go to the precedence oh I've almost all of us happen with carys yeah that's a good question actually that that's an excellent question why when they allow an error um I think you could live without retina I it would be nice but if you're on a budget I think you could definitely live without it yeah but if you can afford it and look at it why not yeah totally if you have the budget I totally go retina do we get some lag here oh um okay let's see what else did we got here and again thank you all for all these great questions it's loaded and we appreciate that also from sasha balan that this is an interesting quotient samsung and barnes & noble nook thoughts interesting so they have oh yeah that's another press conference coming right yeah I think so uh it's interesting I think for for the note business hardware just wasn't working out for them I think developing and selling their own so I think it's a wise business move to go with Samsung to build these tablets and I think that's what we'll see next right last time it was the tab for a point oh I'm trying to remember what which one they launched together recently um this one sounds like more of a Barnes & Noble yeah product we'll see I mean right now amazon seems to be really killing that market so they're gonna have to do something again distinguish themselves from amazon yeah and the thing is the nukes were nice devices hmm you know it just amazon was everywhere right the kindle had just couldn't survive so i wouldn't be surprised to see like galaxy tab s used with Barnes & Noble because when Barnes & Noble sold their nook HD tablets they very much focused on the display quality and how nice it was to read magazines and books and the galaxy tab s has that really really great display super high quality so i'm gonna guess it's a galaxy tab s with some barnes noble branding special features super interesting question from Benjamin McDonald I have an xbox 360 but i only use it for streaming netflix etcetera should i bike well i think we lost you sure where I did I'm crass and stop I don't know if we lost Shawn anybody okay Sean might be frozen here he's talking about we're talking about the xbox 360 but only use it for streaming netflix etc should i buy a chromecast and stop paying for xbox live gold yeah if you're using it only for netflix i'd go with the xbox live gold because I mean I go with the chrome past because otherwise you're paying for something you're not really using right and and for chromecast we're spending about $35 and was just on sale for I think 2999 on Amazon so look out for the sales um definitely goodbye there I'll go through the questions cuz it looks like Sean's frozen here what features you think the Nexus 6 will have from Sasha Mahal I'm really not sure what we're going to see from features let's see what Sean such thing yeah this system decided to do a backup right now I'm not sure what features will see what the Nexus 6 um it depends who builds it right i think if rumors say she sees involved hopefully we see some metal and if if L choose involved to get I'd love to see something based on the g3 which i think is a fantastic phone um let's see HTC One m8 and ii eight comparison we actually just ran that on the site and I guess you're trying to figure out what the differences are the e8 sort of the plastic version of the MA but they did make some changes so it doesn't have the duo camera and i believe the boomsound speakers are the same and the software should be relatively the same so really just plastic first metal body hopefully the lower costs but in terms of United States we haven't heard much about that coming here what features are most important for you for the iphone 6 from see benfey um for me i'd like to see battery life improved drastically right because my current iPhone 5s is just always dying on almost all the time and and I think androids progress to the point where you see the g3 HTC One m8 galaxy s5 got all these great power saving features and really really do get anything through a full day of use but the iphone still it's dead about like three or four o'clock so I'd like to see advancements their screen technology has been actually like fine for me on the iphone 5s I really don't feel like it's um you know pixelated or anything like that but I'd like to see it advance further with with the 4.7 inch display and even the 5.5 inch display get a little sharp or quad HD like i was saying i love lychee three right now that would be awesome i'm not so sure that will see it and then things like mobile payments i want to see Apple sort of take that off so far mobile payments have kind of you know fluttered we have Isis here in the United States and we have google wallet you can use it in some places but not others and requires NFC and Apple has been reluctant to include NFC but I think we'll see some approach to mobile payments from Apple that hopefully actually pushes the industry so we can use our phones as well it's moving forward but I think I'm gonna think I'm going to wrap this up for us today because Sean seems to have a time machine running in the background right now so he's completely frozen but thank you everybody for joining the show and we'll see you next week bye you
