and welcome to episode 69 the TechnoBuffalo show I'm live your to host for today shot money editor and chief of the site and I am joined by deputy managing editor Todd Hazleton everybody are you doing this week Todd good we have definitely entered the holiday doldrums yes I there are days where we're like can we start making up stories Oh yesterday we were joking can I make up gaming stories and can the gaming department makeup mobile story simple just swap yeah and then you were going to use each other sources they're actually there was a story this morning I read I know I give too much away about it but there was a story i read that normally I would have sent it over to you and I was like no I have never heard of the site B I'm not seeing anyone else covering it you know there's just too many red flags going up here but it's still open on my iPad just in case i said to you later it's so slow well and the crazy thing about all these rumors too is yesterday there was the UM the Apple watch charging pad that Apple was apparently building you and I thought when I was looking I was like that's so ugly there's no like I know it looks official but maybe maybe she's a rumor and then today of course it's official no you never know what these things I other times what it looks official you're like oh that's that looks dead on and you know they're like oh that was a Photoshop yeah i know i am getting better at spotting photoshop's look like yeah but so the blackberry prev review is out so everyone can head over to the site and check that out yeah I didn't want to give away too much last week I know it was one of our topics but now i can say like I really really love the phone I have it right here I've been using it and I bought it so here goes nothing you know enjoy those funds though where you know we review a lot of them and I like a lot of them but it's rare where I'm like okay should i buy chod not this 1i box its unique you know what the keyboard so I thought okay there's not going to be another phone for a while that I'm gonna be like oh darn I kinda know and I think that's actually the highest compliment someone in your position can give a phone is if you go ad spend euro money on it that's that's a pretty high praise yeah and I will say though however I was reviewing the eighteen t unit John had our review unit in the in our review and my ATT one had some software bugs and stuff like that in me since i'm buying it for myself now is more comfortable going with the unlocked version because i know blackberries gonna get the updates to it sooner and stuff like that so actually ended up returning the eighteen t unit and i'm going to i bought the unlocked unit so then we have the review in the office yes so I kind of advising people out there you know if you have the capability to do so you probably want to go with you unlock just to the quicker software updates but well now the perv review is out that phone is dead to us so moving on so moving on to the next great thing LG v10 yeah LG v10 you have it on my desk a probably let's go charging um I really like this phone so it's one of those once it's kind of sliding under the radar we have the privilege pro all kinds of stuff that we're trying to work on and I need to write up something on this because it's actually a really great phone been using it for a little bit it's very the thing is for review like I'm not so sure I'm gonna go crazy on a review for one because it's very much the g4 in terms of the snapdragon 808 and stuff like that they boosted ram up to four gigs though same camera except they highlight video capability so there's manual controls for video it seems to do a pretty good job with that i'm not a videographer though so no matter what I've tried to do on nothing's that great but it's got dual front-facing five megapixel cameras so one wide angle one just regular and that's pretty neat but the front-facing is not incredible on it and then of course it's got a secondary display which I thought at first was going to be a gimmick we saw that first on the Samsung continuum a couple of years ago on verizon didn't really do much this one's actually pretty cool as music controls it's always on for like to time and stuff but then I actually use it for shortcuts to my favorite apps that are always at the top of the screen so I'm actually really liking the phone I like the build that has 64 gigs of expandable storage I don't think marshmallows coming too late next year which is kind of a bummer but those phones that you know it's not if people aren't really talking about it like a flagship like the Galaxy s6 or even prove or anything like that but um I'm really really liking it the length of time it is taking to update phones on Android is really getting annoying it is it's frustrating it's almost like I feel like most consumers well I take that back most consumers probably don't even care one quick thing to everyone yes you can flash it yada yada I'm talking about the ninety-nine percent of people in this world they have no idea what that means yeah i agree with you Todd I the although it's hilarious to hear my mother who's in her late 60's go when am I getting marshmallow it is pretty funny yeah boy hey why do you even know that word I read your site oh okay but she constantly asked me what she's getting the next you know android update you have like you wanna try flashing but yeah it's like it's so especially right around the time the new versions come out because unless it launches with that OSU have no your phones out did before you will walk on the store before you even pay for it I know that's the thing it's like I almost you know it's just you should you know when you buy a phone if it's fronting lollipop assume that it's gonna have that for a long time and be happy if it if it gets an upgrade earlier because that's just the way things are going on especially if you're not unless you're buying it unlocked which is great and that's the way I think you should do it you know in a lot of these cases that you do get updates and even though the blackberry I was saying by that unlock what I was talking about updates are those are security patches and stuff I don't think it's gonna get marshmallow until next year also which is what they said I know that's only you know just over a month away but it could be well into next year before available so I liked it but you know there's a look like we were just talking about the v10 that's a great phone I don't know when that's getting marshmallow that's next year microprose great phone I mean so now I'm certain to wonder like how much should I really care marshmallow too I mean now on tap is neat but even when I was using on phones like 89 I didn't feel like I needed it and then the expandable storage part I thought was the best part where you can format it as internal the otherwise under so i don't know i mean there's like battery life improvements and stuff like that but yeah i'm not i'm not kind of you know I feel like for the first time between lollipop and marshmallow I'm not like oh I really need it and I feel like going from KitKat to lollipop I felt like I needed it like a bigger that was yeah mark marshmallow doesn't feel like as big of an update but yeah I don't know but so overall though you like the v10 yeah I like to like the v10 a lot it has sort of a rugged back and scout the stainless steel slide switch are really nice and I know we can talk about this in a little bit but it really matches the watch urbane too well but it just feels like a more premium handset than the g4 and that's the point they're gonna continue to build on this V family of devices next year there'll be a V 20 or v11 ah know what they're gonna call it so I see a lot of people always talking about like well maybe I'll wait for the g5 and part of me is like we'll meet you should wait for whatever they replace the v10 with that's another year from now in any case I think the v10 is positioned to be a really great phone for a while it's got plenty of RAM plenty of storage cameras great we already know that st. Karen's the g4 display isn't slightly curved which I actually like better I do like OLED displays these days vs LCD I like how could they get nice and inky black like the proof here but you don't get that on the v10 so I think I think it's one of those funds that people aren't talking about that should be considered yeah yeah the market no speaking since you're holding the herb am too what do you think of that so far it's still a little too clunky for me and I'm a guy were big watches anyway usually like one my wife got me it's dumb watch but um it's kind of clunky kind of big but android wear seems to run a little bit faster this it has an additional gig of ram i think i donno maybe it's one gig instead of 512 it may I suggest you never say to Chrissy you know that dumb watching it yes you wouldn't understand that I'm not saying smart watches yeah okay Justin top smart right trying to help you out incomparable yeah yeah don't yah be for our letting um it's a android wear just it's not tuned you for me like a just old notifications keep popping up and stuff like that no this this is unique in that it um it's it's marshmallow Android where I think it's version 1.4 you can place phone calls from your wrists and stuff like that I really haven't spent a lot of time doing that because I just got it on friday and i haven't really taken out of the apartment my ATT signal up here it's not good but i think that's neat the battery life was really bad for me at first it was dead within like ours but that's because i had the ambient display on i had the brightness all the way up cuz i thought it looked really cool like that but didn't do well um otherwise you know i like the side buttons and try to show everybody I don't know it's kind of hard to show stuff on here I like the rubber strap and it does complement the v10 really well it's like the two were sort of built together almost imagine that yeah what you know I I've actually found myself over recent weeks not even wearing my Apple watch which is right here on my desk dead oh no it is on you got ya after the whatever that first android wear watch was that you and i both bought g watch the g watch okay i don't care how much they improve android where I have such a bad taste in my mouth from that thing I wonder if that's a part of my problems he like I always try to approach it you know the new device and stuff I just can't like kick it into it you know and it always feels slightly bug you you and stuffs going on you know I'll mention that in my write-up of this watch but it just doesn't neither I mean Apple watch too there's nothing there's something missing from all these devices and I don't know what it is well antsy and that's why I still like the pebble time you know it's a SmartWatch but it's simple enough that I don't have to worry a lot of things right you know I I'm mainly using it as a notification device more than anything oh and telling time yeah yeah although I will say this this is incredibly stupid to me whenever I change time zones I have to manually change the time zone on it that's really weird I feel like it should just pull it from your watch oh yeah our phone I know but no I have to manually change my time zone hmm you know I was just thinking when I was saying you know there's something's missing from me some Isis I feel like it's the voices we todd i feel like it's the voice assistant i don't want to say it behind me but the Amazon echo and if I say her name she'll go off and I'll be a pain in the butt but I didn't get that um she's really good and I feel like on my watch you know you could say okay google or hey Siri or yadda yadda hey Cortana Cortana it it never really it works sometimes it doesn't always pick up everything you have to be very deliberate with this thing behind me if I say that's why I'm not if I say Alexa she's can it go off too loud and that's I feel like the watches and our phones need something just as accurate is that and my computer actually or Cortana might start many right here works sometimes but if everything was as reliable as if I'd use it more I'd probably like my smart watchman I like how you're now like whispering yeah she's gonna turn on she is she watching us yeah I swear that thing I use it every day he's watching I I thought I don't want her to over here over the gossip yeah but I mean I don't you know from lights most of the time it's my light so I'm controlling my living room and my bedroom lights with it but music and sports scores like that I've written better on the site but really really love the Amazon echo you know I that is one of those devices that that the other day when Amazon had that sale I was so tempted and I kept trying to think okay way I don't have any smart bulbs for her to control what else am I really gonna do with her yeah music and stuff like that is like my favorite thing so I can play you know what I'm sitting at my desk here I'll say like play Frank Sinatra its natural play that'll be like next song or you know play this instead and she takes off it's actually funny sometimes I'll try to speak sentences you were like you know Alexis stop doing that bat shake she responds still so so he's kind of fun to play with yeah i saw the light the light oh no I I'm still tempted to get one I don't know why yeah I wasn't sure why at first either and then I kind of made uses for it by getting smart bulbs I give you that Oh see now I thought you had the smarts bulbs before you got her no I did them together I wanted to set it up i made a project i thought it was gonna be more of a project took about 10 minutes like plug plug plug okay it's all set up I i I've still got to try to talk myself out buying her buying one of her at some point um anyway hold on one moment here Brandon is bran is interrupting he knows that we're podcasting but f no that was not worth interrupting me for anyway the joys in our God John for everyone who doesn't have john is a town so everything is running through me this week but uh Sean's our air traffic controller yeah that's why I've got the big headphones yeah anyway I'm pushing 1000 good grief so final topic that we wanted to touch on Star Wars Battlefront yeah so you bought it I did it mm-hmm my reasoning longer yeah my reasoning was 50 bucks for the DLC hahahaha no I didn't even look at that now I'm one of those guys were I'm still very old school in the game just like oh here's the game it's coming i'm gonna buy it and i forget that these days are like nickel and diming us like oh by this by that you know later and blah but I that's okay because I ended up playing it last night and I played the beta but let you know finally get to digging in and see everything is a lot of fun I was playing with my friend um yeah it'sit's kind I don't want to say it's simple and it's not simple i was getting annihilated but what Joey say today I think our gaming our head of gaming I think he said it was you know casual or something and it is it's right it's not like hardcore like I've seen in other games that I played but it's a lot of fun the graphics to me we're really amazing the audio sound effects it's tough for a lot of fun there's some really cool modes like heroes vs. villains you're going around is like Luger han Solo vs darth vader and Boba Fett and it's it's 3 on 3 plus so it's a match of six on six but there's three heroes on each side and the heroes like the super powerful people and so you know you're running around with a lightsaber or you know pistol and it's awesome that's six on six then you have supremacy where it's you know 20 on 20 huge maps just people everywhere to like there I find these times where like you just getting cornered at checkpoints and it's just like floods of people and it's like armies it's just craziness and then there's also like an air assault mode so you're flying around at x-wings & Tie Fighters and stuff like that it's just it's a lot of fun all right there's a part of me that does want to play it but I just I'm also then this comes from my collecting mentality I'm a completist so the ID the idea of not having those new maps and also not having the new maps also Lisa fracturing of the user base which i am not a fan of because then you're stuck only playing with the other people who didn't buy those maps yeah you know and then the second map map pack comes out some people that bought pack 1 won't buy pack 2 so you got a further fracturing it's yeah it's a bad idea yeah that's annoying that happened to me on Dallas field for on the pc actually where i was playing in it's like you know i just sort of like load up the most popular servers or something and it's like oh you don't have this map necessarily can't fight so i ended up having to buy them and right now about it for all the other maps are like 20 bucks but you know i'm sure i'll end up paying that extra 50 bucks along my friend still playing and it does get expensive 100 oh well such me haul ass did any of you play the original to star wars battlefront games I played both of them I like the first one I wasn't a huge fan the second one actually didn't play the earlier was uh they were entertaining and I'm sure this one is to buy just freaking DLC man yeah I was talking with my buddy last night though it seems like and like this is an official or anything Joey would obviously have a much better idea of the grass with this but I we were saying like they could have cut corners and really made this kind of a crappy game I feel like people still would have bought it because it's Star Wars but about that no no you're totally wrong there okay one has ever bought a crappy product because that star wars on it ocio you're being sarcastic completely but it but it actually is a fun game so it's like okay they actually put some polish on it no I believe me if I looked around my desk long enough i would find crappy star wars products on it somewhere especially if I dig in the closet under the stairs in my basement where my childhood original Star Wars products are believe me I would find crappy products hiding in the Harry Potter room oh yeah well let's see i use I know I one time I had like returned the Jedi trash can for my bedroom I also remember I had some return of the jedi shampoo because it was shaped like java that's kind of cool yeah they're saying it'd be awesome Jabba the Hutt was one of the characters in this game maybe later how would he get across the battlefield like I don't he probably wouldn't just like slithering blob but whom yeah commander I don't know good grief hey Brandi come on podcasting here ever Brandon I love the fact that Brandon knows that were both podcasting it was a thing that couldn't wait I don't know I didn't read it okay Oh Brandon but uh i I don't know it's I want to play the game a any well we have another question from such from Bohol hear about the name you get fallout 4 star wars battlefront and/or rise of the Tomb Raider I played the last tomb raider game loved it and this time though I decided to hold off till it's no longer an xbox exclusive because hey it will come out complete edition on PlayStation 4 in a year hmm so why not just save myself the money I that's the type of game where I don't feel the need to run out and buy it the second it comes out fallout 4 I just don't have the time for something that massive that's exactly what I'm yeah and I already said what I said about Battlefront um yeah I mean I I was playing a ton of Destiny there for a while I haven't turned dusting on two weeks I just don't have time right now yeah I don't have time to play anything at the moment yeah I didn't start that's the nice thing about Star Wars Balfour as you can count jumping it out if your casual like me it's casual game um and it's like whatever okay that was fun you know spend 20 minutes here there yeah I have all these other games to you that I bought that I haven't really played like I still have dragon age inquisition that I played a lot of I in Finnish I have Witcher 3 that played very little and didn't finish I have what's that MMO I don't even know the top of my head in case like what I'm five games I'm playing right now they're just not even playing Tony Hawk I bought yeah I see like I desperately want to go back and play red dead redemption again but that like uh I have 70 hours right right well I came so great but it so it was on our list of the xbox 360 games that aren't backwards compatible on the one right yeah but that's why I still have the 360 my 360 s third breaking and that's why I ended up buying all these other consoles yeah well I I have the game though we won't go through all the consoles I own but uh it's too many and there was a period a couple years ago where I got rid of a bunch of my really older stuff like my 8-bit Nintendo and man which I kind now regret I did keep my got my super nintendo though ouat sisters you would have to pry the Super Nintendo from my cold dead hands that was one of the greatest systems ever built yeah but anyway so let's jump into some of the questions we've been getting which folks all bored you they're all from such a Mahal so if anyone else has questions please feel free to jump in and ask questions as well and here's an age-old debate from from such and ball is there actually a need for smartwatches is there a need no are they aaos just like your parents will do you need this or do you want it or you just want I hated that talk yeah because there always was no I want it which means I need it Brian I want it really bad equally so is there a need for smartwatches know it are the is there a need for tablets know is there a need for smartphones no is there the list goes on and on I know is there a need for a mobile telephone yes but is there a need or one that is more powerful than all the computers put together the power of the Apollo 11 mission no I feel like smartwatches though are like and I remember a pew research study that I sometimes linked back to that said like they're still one of the problems is there still like an ongoing like you don't find a reason to continue wearing the wearable after so much time right like eventually you're just like okay I don't need it right now and you still put it on one day and then you don't put on the next day then you're just like and that's how I always end up I mean how long i had the Apple watch on for a long time and I was just sitting on my desk I'm like don't I guess I could charge it and put it on and you know it's not dead technically but just like yeah no I am I wear my pebble I i wear my pebble almost every day except when i'm typing a lot i do take it off just because i don't want it banging on the key board but uh no I love it for like when I'm traveling especially when it going like airports mmm as you all know I'm going on vacation starting the middle of next week you all work all the time when I'm in England because it's just I co when I'm walking down the city street to go okay rhian instead of having to pull my phone out and all that stuff so that's true I do like it for stuff like that yeah yeah totally i right now I'm going back and forth on this i'm so tempted to get some sort of fitness tracker because i have no idea how much i walk when I'm over there and I've been trying to lose weight the good chunk of this year and I've lost quite a bit of weight but I tried to decide if i want to buy a fitness tracker before I leave I'm like is the pebble not good at that the misfit app on there because they have that one out often look oh look I haven't I think it's a popular one on pebble they make the you know the really basic one that actually fossil just bought misfit but I think that yeah I think that's pretty good at trying to think of what happens yeah I I'll have to hop to look into that yeah cuz otherwise misfit was the company of me like a $25 you know fitness tracker was like the one that could fit your shoelace and stuff oh I remember that IRA monitor yeah um ok the I'm I'm torn on this one so I'm going to put a few disclaimers after I asked the question here from David Nunez what do you guys think what do you guys make of the verge rating the apple TV as the quote best streaming box unquote as of right now the video has 800 thumbs up in two thousand thumbs down never seen a racial like that in a while let me say first that is generally the policy of technobuffalo not to comment on other sites you know we just we don't find that to be that wonderful of a thing when it's a review that's a little different i'll say this i don't think the apple TV is the best streaming box by a long shot yeah I think I'm in the same well it's not even close to mine I returned mine I think it has the potential to be I think you know if they're talking about that I think if you're buying it as a gift for the holidays and you know somebody has the old Apple TV and they're interested I don't know I like it's a good product because if the apps that will come to it but I would still go with the Roku to be honest it the apple TV is a good product but there are far far better streaming box zap like every Apple product is all about keeping in the apple ecosystem and it at this stage it's just too limited to be a true cable box replacement yeah and like you and I said when we discuss it a couple weeks ago when it first came out it still to me feels very much like a product that launched with the part missing its I really do truly believe that they're working on their own streaming solution and they push this thing out the door early just to get the holiday sales yeah and in the long run I think that was a mistake well let's fit this way the general consumers not even gonna notice but for those of us that follow this stuff yeah we know it's missing yeah yeah I don't know I mean a lot of things you're minim for me me not I'm glad to see plexes there that I think that was pretty cool I mean it launched right when the apple TV didn't we talked about that an earlier show but I think other ones like Amazon Prime TV or wherever they call it these days um that that's like a huge glaring hole on the apple TV for me anyway cuz their stuff on there like to watch Downton Abbey and I don't know soul I think about it when I think about streaming boxes these days and I think about the best one for people like if I was gonna buy one for a gift and that my mind goes right to Roku goes right to like a comcast maybe something like that but you know those are also a lot cheaper a lot of olive ways and again maybe some people want the apps on their TV and I think that's I think that's definitely where we're going as an industry and Roku does have apps of its own and gain stuff like that too but you know the apps that I saw in the apple TV when I had it like air B&B were just nothing I wanted to use the games were nothing I wanted to use it maybe it's because I'm not that the idea okay the air B&B from your television it's just what it just didn't make sense to me like it I would much rather go on a site where i can read reviews and see it on a map and do all these other things like why would I want to do that through TV I just wanted that use case in any case from Chris panton in the market for a new phone $400 is the max I'm really considering the oneplus x + 1 + 2 are there better options i know there are two different price points and I ruled out Moto X because a bad customer service of experience I think right now if you're in the market / phone on rail and you're willing to go unlocked wait a week because the the leaks are definitely indicating that there's going to be some great phone deals next week yeah it phones that were previously not within your price point whatsoever will be next week yeah so but that being said of those phones I would lose either of those one blesses yeah I probably lean towards a one plus two but that's just me I also would I mean I don't even think it's something that's you have to wait to go on sale i think the nexus 6 is still in that range maybe even below it especially lately things like ebay and that's a that's still a great phone too so i'd consider that I mean the camera is not amazing good no there you go yeah nope it this is my UK phone for this trip you know honestly I haven't used the oneplus actually where the 1+2 those are out in irvine so i thought you had had some time with both of those um yeah so I look around I think there's a lot more options out there than you realize and personally i think i would go with a Nexus device if you can find it in that price range first yeah hello i mean the newer ones you get your facing limited store kind of a bummer at 400 bucks so it really really depends on your use case but I think both those phones are fine and I would look for her again last year's models on sale soon yeah well if you're in the US yeah that's true although if i told you about what's happening in the explain i know in the UK they carried some of it over well yeah so the wall marker as de which is the UK arm of walmart several years ago started doing black fridays and that ended up spreading out to the rest of UK retailers well last year i think there was one or two injuries at enhanced a store so as that this year is not doing black friday but is so permeated the UK now that when i walking around manchester on black friday there are black friday sales going on it's so bizarre that's awesome yeah it's awesome but it's it you're like to you got you you guys don't have Thanksgiving so this is just like some random friday lien expats over there suffering I know but it's just it's still so bizarre to me but from such a bahal is the pebble smartwatch is still the best all-around SmartWatch it gets the job done i think so i think so i just don't like how ugly its where's mine I have all these smart you see so you know that me it I don't care about aesthetics i do cuz my wife makes fun of me yes but you see I don't have a wife so problem solved she's like other things so ugly I don't like I'll fine now I'm not conscious about it yeah well that's really that it's not really why I I do like the way you know like that these have much better displays that I'm holding up the watch urbane to second edition i think is the appropriate need like what a dumb name let's switch that real quick LG watch urbane second edition you mean I ass I don't know but I don't know what some of these companies are thinking when they named their products yeah a here's a little tip for all of them there's a reason that all phones are called iPhones there's the reason why all tablets are called iPads it's because they're short sweet you know easy to remember and they can be turned into verbs mm-hmm look at Google folks hey you ever picture yourself saying oh let me yahoo that yeah that's it but you can say said that real quick yeah let me ask jeeves that will say that actually works though Oh God even chiefs from David Nunez Todd living in NYC d you run into fellow tech journalists roaming the city streets yes they're like wild wolves traveling in packs I love on people i follow collaborate not not in the streets I actually do live in the same neighborhood as one of my buddies at a business insider tech insider now so we would see each other we were like block away from each other but no you see each other all kinds of tech events were briefing and when we go to briefings there's usually you know like 12 of us around a table so we see each other all the time or you know if it's one-on-one briefings I'm getting in the elevator someone else is coming down all the time we see each other so yes oh we say hi you know the industry a lot some of us have worked together a lot whether it's at other sites or we had the same boss because I was there and that's what else was there there's a lot of people have worked at laptop magazine actually in New York so it's we joked that it's sort of the School of Journalism so for people like coming out of school and tech writing a lot of people over tried it laptop magazine at school then they go on to other sites or stay there a lot of friends so there so I mean yes we do see each other pretty frequently but not not just randomly just like you wouldn't see you know somebody from college maybe you do no I it was really funny I went to a right after I left Mashable I'd gone to work at a company called silicon or sitepoint i went to site point gonna remember where i went and but i was going to be in boston to visit a friend and Mashable was having meet up but I haven't met a lot of the mashable folks and so I went to the mashable party anyway which they were totally cool with and I met the guy who had taken over my position at Mashable I had taken over his position at sitepoint hahaha that's pretty funny so we had literally swapped jobs and we were meeting at this meet up and were like oh ok that's just bizarre we we literally hit swap jobs that's pretty funny it was cheap as hard as I would I will say though a lot of the tech journal asinus is actually pretty small so a lot of people we did a lot of us do you know each other oh yeah it's a very small community yeah very small we actually used two years ago I've been done in a while we would organize like happy hours and so all the people from the sites would get together and meet for drinks and food and stuff like that and so I it seems like obviously we're competing on some level like you know for page views and stuff like that but as humans you know a lot of us are friends it's not like cutthroat or anything no I'll kill all of them Joakim comics joking obviously we all have different opinions cuz we're all so you know that's yeah some some people think the apple TV is the best streaming device from tice Williams what are your thoughts on the new gear VR those releasing thing about venturing in VR is this project a good way to start Todd you this is definitely all you yeah I do I really like the gear VR and for a hundred bucks I think it's a lot of fun um there's a lot of cool content so netflix for example you can load it up and you're in you're basically sitting in like a small living room and it's like a fully furnished once you like look around there's a plant and stuff like that then you just like dim the lights the movie starts so you know if you don't have a little you can watch one there um there's also like awesome games i forget the name of one but one of my favorites is like you're flying around in a jet pack and you if you use the Samsung controller which is where in here um you know you could shoot thing like targets and stuff it's a lot of fun it almost reminds me of pilot wings in a way but the graphics aren't as good that's what Nintendo cape and then in 3ds I liked a lot to pilings and then there's a what else there's lots of like 360-degree content from milk VR that Samsung's continually putting in so there's no X game stuff or mountain dew stuff I don't know it's pretty neat the graphics aren't like is sharp and crisp and amazing as you'll find on on the oculus rift and stuff but obviously that's powered by a computer and this is your phone and for a phone it's actually really cool I mean worse comes to worse I'd say grab it from somewhere like Best Buy hundred bucks you have like a usually a 30-day return window and take advantage of that just play with it I find myself doing that a lot these days ah let's see here from David Nunez how's the technical Buffalo doesn't put this show at the top of its website when it's live I think it would drive more viewers I'm always looking for the link to this video on Twitter that shouldn't be the case David I agree with you we just currently don't have the ability and that's something we've discussed for the next version of technical Buffalo's putting some sort of video embed player up at the top so definitely on our list to discuss for the next redesign of the site yeah we want to have a lot more control over stuff like that yeah that there's going to be a lot of changes coming to technobuffalo when we finally have time to to get to that it's amazing how little time we have to work on things like that from such a baja have you tried Apple music on Android I have not yeah I have it here as I've said in previous shows i unfortunately play for way too many of these services i'm not sure why but it works pretty well um i've used it i was using it and then i switched to youtube music for actually a lot of my listing because i I'm loving that I know it's sort of a change of topic but music school I have my playlist and something I've already set up obviously on my iPhone but youtube music has been great because you can play all the videos and stuff or just end or just leave in the background we're store for offline like a whole playlist they make for you we actually just got our got a question through Twitter here from a Daniel jeweled I saw a concept iphone 7 video of an iphone that has no bezel at all do you think apple will do this I that technology i think is just too far away the no buzz Lamia yeah well I don't know what they're gonna do with the home button if they actually embed the finger perimeter we've seen technology allows that to work in the display I mean though here's the problem is that all of a sudden then you know you're blocking the screen with your finger and like I guess that works sometimes but like how do you hold it you know that the bezels also serve a purpose so your fingers aren't always blocking part of the screen that's my opinion I think it would look awesome well then you think about it you know it's like the galaxy s6 edge it looks really cool but then when you're holding it sometimes just like mmm really know if i need you know no bezels on the sides yeah I I don't get that worked out but that's what's cool about the frig is the bottom scroll pad so like when you're going through a site i mean to touch the screen which I like keyboard now well folks I think that's going to bring this week's episode to close a quick little bit of housecleaning next week the show is going to be on Tuesday as
