and welcome to episode 75 at the TechnoBuffalo show online you're two hosts for today Sean ani editor and chief of the site i'm joined by deputy managing editor Todd Hazleton everybody on this week Todd I'm good good we're we're only 50 weeks away from CES 2017 that's right that's how I measure all time in my world now yeah and we just booked Mobile World Congress which will be a pretty much exactly a month from now good grief once it starts it just keeps coming doesn't it but of course you know even though it's only January you know we need to start talking iphone 7 yes love my segue there I think it works yeah so the big rumor this week is that the code for future versions of iOS state hey no headphone jack yeah it was yesterday the code and iOS 9.3 beta 1 point 1 which is like a small it was like the update to the beta 1 for iOS 9.3 that was released a little while ago um in it it has this line of code uh headphones have percentage input like so do the headphones have input know which is really interesting so this was published by somebody I believe he was working on jailbreaking on Twitter and basically it sort of suggests that the codes like not looking to see if there's head put input or whatever at least that's the way I read it which fits with all the other rumors that have already said you know Apple is probably going to a 3.5 millimeter headphone jack go for a super thin design you know so instead you either use presumably Lightning port which i think the ones that exist now are already pretty expensive or just go right to bluetooth which makes sense music bluetooth for that kind of stuff but I mean there are so many other scenarios where like you have headphones right like i bought these because i can use them for this podcast and i use them on the plane and I don't know I feel like if just going rights of Bluetooth like okay you get rid of the wires it's super convenient but then you also have to worry about one more thing you have to charge and I have bluetooth headphones that I do like four flights but I find all the time I forgot to charge him or something like that right and i use bose qc25 you know i'm not going to want to ditch my expensive headphones because oh no my iphone no longer works with although i barely use headphones with my iphone its primary with my ipad but still the idea that we could be movie now wasn't there a pet in a while back for an adapter yeah like there was yeah i think there was or something like that which would make sense Apple could sell it for thirty bucks exactly Angkor it they could sell for thirty bucks of course there's another freaking dongle that you have to keep track of that you could potentially lose another piece of equipment to carry with you I don't know a and this brings up an interesting question from such a Mahal do you think the iphone 7 will have a lightning port or a USB type-c port I that I really think of lightning but they haven't done it before um I mean they haven't done on their phones adapted like I mean they went 30-pin delighting so they didn't ever go uspc but then you look at products like the macbook where they have us bc and sort of we're pushing for it and acting like they're you know leading the push because it's the future anyway um so I don't know yeah I mean spc makes a lot of sense obviously I think that's the way they should go and of course Apple written this anymore Apple would never you know release a phone this year with lightning and sell you an adapter and then a year later change ill thing so that that adapter was no longer correct I mean that's not something Apple has ever done in the past um uh the sarcasm was thick on that one folks but uh oh let me address this real quick from jeff k did we really piss you guys off with the comment section no we're not sure what's happening for some reason on technobuffalo calm right now no comments are going directly on the site they're all going in the moderation we don't know why we are looking into it we think somehow a setting got changed but we are working we are working on it I went through this morning and proved like 500 comments you know from over the past 24 hours so yes I we are not sure what's going on the comments are not going away we are looking into it and hopefully it will be fixed sometime this morning so just a quick bit of housekeeping there thank you for asking about that Jeff so yeah I mean I think they're gonna stick with lightning I do think there's a good chance they're going to get rid of the 3.5 millimeter headphone jack which it will never it won't break my heart to never have to say again 3.5 millimeter headphone jack but I i would i would not put this past Apple in the least I mean if you look at their laptops you know okay they got rid of the optical drives so they could go thinner they got rid of the Ethernet port so they could go thinner they have no hesitation about getting rid of inputs and outputs to make their devices thinner yeah I mean I'm just looking at mine now like imagine it could be so thin but then you know the we've talked about this before the battery life what happens there camera modules are still large so you know you still have to I guess you could have a little bump in the top or something but I feel like I'm just looking at it now I mean I'm not the one who's like oh I wish my phone was thinner but not as a ella phone that could be I mean if you look at it it would be like wafer thin yeah there you go issue now and even with the oh the iphone 6 plus you know i put mine in a giant k so i can hold on to it I don't think we people with it like you're doing yes um yeah I just I feel like even the iphone 6 plus was too thin for me okay you know it's so going even thinner it just okay i'll just keep buying otter boxes hey yeah i'm trying look at my so here's the Nexus 6p and like I don't know that's not even the fattest thing on this like the headphone jack I mean you've got the camera module again obviously is coming out pretty far because it slopes down and then the bottoms us bc i mean i guess us bc is just slightly thinner not mean oddest in I don't know slightly I don't know I feel like this is good enough let's keep it thick for the battery life that's the most important thing hey Jeff I just saw your message send me an email at Sean at and with whatever your disgust user name is and I'll look into that so moving on down the road to other phone rumors that we're hearing the LG g5 mmm the okay so we saw the one yo design that had like the removable bottom and the battery slipped out yeah that was funky that was funky and interesting but now it looks like they're doing something else yeah now well there's always been this talk of like modularity so um with this g5 so possibly it sounded like there is a special port or some kind of thing that allowed you know extra accessories so like something like a virtual reality headset which by the way Samsung just uses the micro USB port on its phones for that so that seems like I mean especially at the USBC there's enough data for that to just work but I don't know so there was like talk of this extra sort of part that allowed extra accessories and that was the modularity and then we saw that battery thing that was first published by Cena I think and it was just like it looked like the phone was sort of the shell and the battery would slide in and out like you could you know oh here's a new batteries pop it in almost like cartridge which to me seems like very 1980s tactic you know I don't know is why would Amanda Lee ro of batteries exactly like you just have him around yeah you know you hit the button it just ejects like a magazine a pesto lease lap at a new battery I'm ready to go exactly that's what that that's what that felt like oh and okay here it's called the magic lot I have it up for me that was that was the the original one that I was talking about with the accessories and stuff so I don't know if we have any examples besides what i think was virtual reality so that was one and then we've seen just what we've called a radical new design which is to say that LG I think it was very radical when it first introduced the power button on the back and the volume controls now it's almost like going away from that the latest schematics show just what appears to be a fingerprint reader on the back very similar to the nexus 6p and then the camera module on the back to and going back to that camera module there were discussions about it being like a dual lens set up and right now it's it's so hard to tell when you look at these sort of renders and to report on aside from like what we're hearing in the rumors because when you look at the back of a phone like that and you look at the back of i don't think i have like the g4 on my desk you look at the bag of that and it's got like that laser auto focus area like there's so many different things that you can't you don't like it looks like two lenses maybe until it comes out then you just you know you don't know for sure but that's the rumor dual lens and sometimes that's good for you know we saw it on the m8 from HTC but you know take a picture and you can adjust it afterward after the fact stuff like that well we got a question / comment from jeff k I don't buy the g5 leak of the module sliding up from the bomb I just think it's too radical and I tend to agree I just I don't know I mean LG has definitely gone out on a limb before like moving the power button to the back along with the volume controls I i'm currently carrying a g3 on one of my lines and honestly I don't like the power button on the back I'm never going to get used to it you know yes I know that's where your finger rests and that's part of where the problem lies is I'm constantly hitting the volume buttons that I don't mean to yeah I don't know what that's like yeah and so I I wouldn't put it past LG to try something radical and different but will they actually who knows right well the funny thing is is that it's a radical redesign from like from what was already a radical redesign and the fact is I mean is not radical it's just back to normal with the funny thing you know when you look at these the schematics for your in on the 18th which was two days ago it looks like any other phone on the market almost like an HTC sort of Huawei hybrid i think i look at it if they do this though we have to film the video in slow motion like you always see in action movies where you know somebody they run out of ammo and they drop the clips I guess laughs at a new clip off in the battery yeah so you know we gotta do this like slow motion leaping over a couch ejecting the battery yeah yeah I mean that's the weirdest thing because really okay replaceable batteries are great like I like them too but at the end of the day I just rather have a phone that charges quickly and has a long battery life you know I don't want to have to replace the battery I'd rather plug it in for 15 minutes just go you know where we're at instead of carrying around like whatever another battery in my backpack which I used to do with the galaxy note 4 I guess the last time we do that I don't know it's it's interesting there's a lot of theories out there you know and we've kept saying that somebody's got to change up the design they've got a change you know away from the black slab but was this where we meant for them to go I don't think so yeah I don't know I don't know right now I think I'm most excited for what you know Galaxy s7 which I bizarre segue there yeah which i think is gonna be if Samsung sort of just takes what they have now the galaxy s6 you know improve the the camera doesn't need improvement I don't think but it's like the industry is looking for that every single year right like oh you know it make it better even though I mean I was looking through some photos last night that I take in this fall and one I have them on google photos and they're all mixed up and I thought some of them were once that I'd shot with my DSLR but they were mine they were shot with the s6 edge+ I think and I was like whoa I mean I'm like that's a great camera and I was looking at them on my monitor here which is 32 inches so I don't think Samsung really needs to prove that but I do think they need to add just the smaller things like the mic OST car especially now that it's supported natively in marshmallow I'd love that the next phone and that you know there's talk of all kinds of other things that they're doing but we did have one question about the g5 which has been asked multiple times from Princeton Abdul solemn I believe how much will the LG g5 cause we have no idea no idea more than a dollar it'll be a flagship price yeah so probably 600 to 700 dollar range off-contract summer in there so the other topic we wanted to touch on this week was the rise of original streaming content be it you know any of Netflix's original shows like daredevil and of course unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt ornately black house of cards or house of new cards house of cards you know and who lose got into it you know by resurrecting the Mindy project amazon has shows like the man in the high castle so all these now all these streaming services are coming out with original content Netflix in particular is plan on doing over 600 hours of original programming this year at the unbelievable cost of 6 billion that's billion with a B and just yesterday their earnings report came out how much did they make wise haha I don't know it profits we're total revenue was 1.8 2 billion compared with 1.4 9 billion a year ago fourth quarter so that's I mean if we're just sticking with the 1.5 because it's the softer number and easier for math for me yeah you're looking at like a year of revenues yeah that's insanity how okay so netflix doesn't take advertising those of us that are grandfathered into the old pricing we're about to lose that which you know they warned us a long time ago and there's no how are they going to make that six billion packet make life things yeah but i think um it's another figure they had I point 59 million net subscribers just in the quarter so you added you know five and a half million people and that's before I mean that this quarter does not include their global expansion right which happened at see us right and will continue to happen throughout the year so yeah they're going to add a lot of subscribers but still i mean we're talking pennies you know over the six billion and i just i don't i don't get it i mean i'm thrilled I netflix is making quality shows yeah you know I had so many now that I feel like we were talking about this like there's just too many to watch I mean it was great but because it takes you look at em you're talking before the show and I'll read this quote but you look at TV these days you turn it on when I turn I don't even know why I pay for cable anymore beside for supports but I turn it on and like I don't even know what I want to watch and I could do the same thing on netflix and be like I don't know what I want to watch and find something I can TV and so that's why I like this quote it was from LA Times earlier this week it's it's a every single day in my company and I know in other companies there's a question of did we do something to build a monster that will come back and kill us and that was a quote from NBC Universal research present now onward soul which is crazy because it's true it is it's totally true I mean these companies saw a quick way to make a buck on their back catalogue which makes total sense what they didn't realize that was they were building up the revenues of a monster that would eventually come back and go hey guess what yeah and we can do it this much better like i'm finnaly better and in fact netflix don't forget about this they still have people millions of people renting DVDs which blows my mind cuz yeah I forget it was around horn a half a million or so yeah yeah which a more power to him although I'm sure you'll Reed Hastings to see right boy will you people please stop writing Davey days yeah right let's get let's give her that will remember one what was it called when he split the company into their company that was gonna do and he could have just seen help I care not in the name of it but it was so bad it was too early though because every but he was like what the heck that's so stupid i think i remember thinking that's so stupid yeah and now it's like yeah of course I kill that side of business you know if you I don't know what it does for the actual numbers but me looking into the future like why would you have that I think he does it yeah ooh I tried to split them up so you just kill one later well yeah and we've got a lot of questions here about Bo netflix and jeff k brings up a point here I think Netflix is underpriced believe it or not I think when you look at the content you get it's just crazy that someone could expect to pay less than ten dollars a month yeah netflix really is king right now in my book they just need to update their app on my smart TV yeah I I know some proper TVs are way too hot if it's terrible but I use it all the time but i agree i think it is sort of under price and I I wouldn't be surprised to see you know different pricing tiers in the future depending on what you want but I the one feature that I really want to see on netflix is offline storage I think we've talked about that before but you get amazon prime I just want to be able to save you know like six episodes I think you know something like what Amazon Prime does a limit you but um just so I can get on a plane or you know go somewhere yeah what wiII happen earlier this year that he didn't have a good signal but I had offline storage yeah before I went to the UK I had watched the first two episodes of in the high castle amazon so I know you can do eight episodes because I took episodes three through ten with me okay and that was great you know I was able to watch it wherever ye on Reed Hastings the CEO of Netflix I we're not really sure that's a feature people want you and I have already done it yeah it's a feature that I want and actually I talked to another journalist who had dinner with him at CES and III asked him also did you get a chance to ask about like offline playback and the guys like ah man I forgot to ask him like that was the one thing so that's one you know I would like to to see that featured I I would love to see that feature I mean because like when a new season of a marble show comes out you know I I had to rush through jessica jones because we were i was about to leave for the UK huh I would like to have been able to just gone oh no problem I'll just take some of them with me right you know I understand piracy concerns and all that but Amazon figured it out yeah you know so why can't Netflix it doesn't make any sense to me but yeah such a such a Mahal asks is streaming the future of TV I think so I I think the idea of appointment television is dead dead dead you know and that happened back EO even with VHS you know and then into the DVR and all that but the idea of watching television when somebody tells you to watch television or even watching a season when somebody tells you to watch a season is so outmoded at this point it's so weird to even think about it that way at least for me I don't even know the last time I sat down to mean again aside from sports games because you like watching my view no spoilers or immediate where and and something like the debates recently you know like I feel like that's kind of a life that he doesn't have to be but it's something you might sit down in front of your TV for at a certain time um other than that yeah it's like I don't know the last time you know I remember as a kid obviously you'd sit down be like The Simpsons are on at this time and you know tgif and like all these and i was just all i did well and you know it's somebody that cut the cord last May you know now i just i simply think of okay you know yes the flash airs on tuesdays on the CW but to me I'm just like Oh new it's Wednesday new episode of the flash yeah like you might know the schedule you know it's coming and like maybe I'll sit down for but it's like I feel like there's no their end there hasn't been for years like this need to sit there at that time yeah the only thing you know with hulu is you know they only keep like five episodes of some shows so that's not that big of a deal you know i just i simply make sure you are watching within the five weeks right the concerning thing to me is there's this rumor going around that the CW is going to leave hulu and start their own app and the problem is if more and more companies do that we're going to have a problem because it'll be just like cable I I'm not going to subscribe 218 streaming services yeah and I think they'll start to see that and then it'll come together again almost like that's why I think these services like Netflix make the most sense and Amazon and you know where you just have like if you go to Amazon you can search for you know various shows that they have the rights to like that's like I want to call it a conglomerate I think it's gonna have to come down to that for exact same reason you just said like why would i pay ten bucks for say the CW app when I when I'm paying ten bucks for netflix it has like infinitely more content right it's just they should just figure out licensing deal themselves although luckily the rumor for the CW is only two to four dollars a month which is probably two to four dollars more than you should be paying for the surrender even though i watch multiple CW shows even I'm like I I just want to know where the farm is that they grow all these actors on Yeah right they have all these gorgeous actors that you've never seen anywhere else that just suddenly appear in their changes and so I just I pictured this Theo orchard with a tree and they walked out in on oh you look like you'll be fine for era things yeah that's it it's harvest season but oh good group well we gotta lie questions so let's jump into him here and see what is going on this week from Nate vlogs do you think it's a problem that apple doesn't have 4k on their Apple TV's not yet I don't think it's not yet although that does at this point anything that's not future proof does concern me yeah but Apple seems to be that company where people let it slide with that future proofing stuff you know it always happens that way but then and I'm I want to be careful how I say this because i know i can take people off but if you look at it like fingerprint readers right like other people had fingerprint readers apple did it very very well when they introduced touch ID and now it's even better but then you have companies to come after apple like look huawei with the meaty readers awesome super fast okay then look at 4k apple doesn't really have an excuse there because like what's it gonna do to make it better right like it like everybody else has for Carrie or some some other competitors have 4k already and you would say well apples gonna come in and make it better maybe but they're not going like there's no how could you possibly improve on that and I think that's why it's a problem that apple doesn't that 4k now because it's like you can't let that slide yeah I I'm sure the next iteration and look we've added 4k something every other streaming box has had for years now exactly it's not like but they might you know they'll try to call it like 4k plus C no well yeah and but there but I can't figure what that plus would be right now to like say ok that was worth the wait where it has been worth the wait on things like you know fingerprint readers or I mean even NFC to some in some regards because NFC I feel like people don't really use that often unless it's for payments and Apple did it really well with payments at first and I know people share music and pair of blue tooth devices and stuff like that like I use android too but it was saying I think they did some things better because they waited and I can't see how they're gonna do this one better well we've got a couple questions coming in over on Twitter today from Daniel jeweled the new samsung galaxy tabpro s has USB type-c in a magnesium alloy frame do you think we will see this on the Galaxy s7 I don't know about magnesium alloy frame but I think USBC yeah definitely yeah I'd be an aluminum phone again with glass which is nice i don't think i should change that too much means galaxy s6 and and that family of devices are beautiful ya know i think that uh i think USB type-c is going to be the buzz word of the year for sure yeah it's such a lame buzz word to ya we call it something more fun from such and haul will you guys be getting the iphone 7 and do you guys believe that i won't have a headphone jack well we very dressed the headphone jack as for if i'll get it I won't make that decision till I see it yeah I I mean I guess just because I cover the phones i usually end up buying in myself anyway so probably will well that leads us to our next question I surprised oh yeah from Jeff k awesome Todd return anything lately seriously though it ain't new toys you both have your eyes on um I'm looking currently at new bags I have a backpack I really like from in case that was from the office I think they sent it to us and when I was in the office I grabbed it but now i'm looking for like a messenger bag to join in so that's what I have my eye on terms of gadgets and that's because i had i was looking at stuff like the 6p but they had them at CES so I grabbed it there would you get you toy my echo arrived oh nice here you go I have that pic also i bought the next bit Robin so that's like next end be shipping a mid of next month so I'm excited for that phone and other than a new sort of bag for my laptop I'll get a much in I didn't return anything but excuse me to the things I was going to return uh the Nexus 5 and the 1+1 I ended up giving to my sister they're going to travel and they needed unlocked phones so I was like okay good you know so that's who I was gonna sell yeah I hadn't done it and I was like oh perfect take tease yeah absolutely perfect use for those um I'm looking I'm starting to finally explore smart homing my house a bit hey oh and the the echo is the start of that and we'll just see where i go from there I'm sure sweet you're gonna go into like Philips hue and stuff wonder if I don't know don't do the hue though there's this uh li FX I don't know how to pronounce it life x i know they uh they make some bulbs and they've been getting better reviews and phillips and I wish I'd done that because you don't need Phillip see me like this hub and now they've updated the hub for home kit and I don't have the new hub and so I can't use home kit and like these other life x bulbs are just Wi-Fi connected bulbs and they were with that guy shit on that guy and that that's that's the biggest problem smart home is I'm trying para ok now what works with the echo you know what connects with what yeah it's so hard they and they make it sound like you know you go new a google i/o or WWDC a from apple and they make it sound like they have this one you know like home kit and whatever Google's is called Android home or something and like oh this is perfect it's gonna be everything and it's not like you go to build it and then they you know a month later a new hub comes out a month later new light bulbs come out you're like this is a home like these are not things that you've replaced every year yo you go you got to buy these things for long haul so they should make it you know a lot more all-encompassing in my opinion completely agree completely agree from Nate vlogs what carriers do you use I love t-mobile I after years of being with sprint I have moved my entire family office print & onto tmobile and so t-mobile is my only carrier even though I carry two phones um but I'm t-mobile only year aren't you mixed still yeah well I'm primarily a teensy but I'm back using I have never turned it off but I just hadn't been using it but I'm doing project Fayette because I'm just getting used to the trip to Barcelona from a World Congress the 6p is project five phones so i'm back on that which i like I had to order a new sim card just came yesterday but um otherwise i'm primarily 18t my wife is verizon a question from jeff k which applies to my life here what shows would or do you miss on cable TV I'm hooked on Impractical Jokers right now and cannot find it anywhere but true TV well I don't watch Impractical Jokers but I would for Brian q um deadliest catches the was the big one for me because discovery has like no online presence except for clips hmm it makes no sense yeah so I unfortunate i work that into my budget when i cut the cord that you know I can by X number of TV seasons a year right you know and deadliest catch I'm I'm sorry i just i'm so hooked on that show at this point after the it's like the captains are part of my family so you know Deadliest Catch was the big one for me and of course like Todd was mentioning sports yeah it might the only sports team i follows manchester united and luckily somebody has helped me out legally helped me out so I can watch manchester united play um that's really about it though everything else I pretty much find streaming is there anything you would miss Todd um it's sports though I he can stream sports packages to now there is nothing i'd miss in fact all the shows i watch now are on netflix or amazon it's mainly because of recommendations that i've i've read from you know heard from you or read that we're writing about on the site and stuff like that you know I flipped through to my co like unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt I think we've heard about that like I've heard about the conversations with staff and that and then I'm like wow this show is so stupid I can't stop watching yeah I know it's you're like I don't know why I like it but I can't stop watching it right so it's stuff like that and then I watched um man high castle love that um I watched making a murder love that I couldn't stop watching that and then like it so everything I look for uh here's my puppy yep serum skype Collier okay um yeah I don't know everything i want is is there so I'm ready to ditch TV at him I'm sure will actually do it really soon the thing is last time I tried to I live in an apartment building with like hundreds of units and so they have these deals we're like you know if you're getting internet and the cable it's almost like hard to cancel your cable um the same way that it used to be hard to cancel a telephone line actually it still is I think we have a telephone I don't even know where it is but you pay for it for no reason so it's kind of difficult like if you want the deal on the fastest internet which I need for work then I need to have some sort of like cable package it's really stupid Felicia Day the actress and author and all that she yesterday was talking about she wanted up her internet package with time warner cable and they would only let her do it at the higher speeds if she took some cable channels exactly yeah otherwise it like cost more it doesn't make anything I was I mean it does make sense it's just for them that's a business yeah not for me from Jonathan Borg wing do you think USBC will enable tablets to compete with laptops as a desktop replacement given software improvements a multi window with android and and USB sees ability to use docks to expand functionality android replacing windows over time ? um i think the whole problem with tablets is always going to be the physical keyboard I think that's going to be the biggest thing because and yes I I know you're mentioning yo you can add attachments on to it but then ok so now when i leave the house i gotta carry the hub i gotta carry a keyboard i got to carry the tablet right you know I don't know I I keep thinking tablets are on the verge of you know taking a bigger bite out of computers and then it doesn't happen yeah but you could get look at these keyboards is one from Microsoft and like it looks like a little book of that pops open now it's not easy to type on right yeah used to it but like you know if you carry this in a bluetooth mouse in your phone her ID sometimes than I know okay I could do I can do work if I really need to and I don't have my laptop you know like I could really try yeah try being the key word there I think if the peripherals get better i think it could happen it's just a question of everything falling into place it's not just the tablets it's also the accessories i feel right uh from Princeton uh what do you guys think of project astoria I am not sure what project of story i just googled that it was there it was microsoft's android app emulation stuff so like bringing android / android apps over which is cool it just doesn't look like it ever really happened especially for Windows 10 for phones like their they were supposed to make this bridge make it easier to bring these apps / really nothing revenue so now oh let's see it reminds me a lot of a blackberry try to do it yeah yeah exactly it's like the the cheating man's way of getting more apps on your phone uh from dan vosges I think if Apple is game ray the 3.5 millimeter headphone jack what companies do you think will make lightning port headphones beats hey all of them I mean there's already one I forget it there like 500 bucks are probably more I think that sells them I think everybody all of a sudden would start making him because you know you go into a radio shack mean or no I'm sorry once upon a time you would go into her he just say what but you know you're walking to a store like a drugstore you like I just need some headphones like what do you do yeah they're gonna have to have lightning course or something huh yeah that's why I think there's gonna be a lot of cheap adapters yeah yeah oh let's see here from brazen Franco since the v10 still isn't available here in Italy should I just wait for the g5 see this is a tough one because I've talked about it before the LG said when they introduced the v10 and it's like the higher end you know this v family is the higher end for from the chi for last year so is G for them v10 at the top which made sense is more premium so technically I would I should say you know wait for the v 20 or whatever it's going to be consider stood the g4 then that's more what the chief I've is and I still feel like that's the way you should think about these things but I don't know when the v 20 or whatever is going to come out right like you don't want to wait that long you want the g5 so I'd say wait for the g5 and see if you're more of like if you're like oh this is cool but I don't like plastic and the g5 ends up being plastic then I'd stick it out for the b20 because probably going to have that you know steel stainless steel frame or whatever v10 has that said feet ends really nice phone and I wish we'd covered more of it just sort of came out right before like during slam season when we were doing everything so um you might want to just see when that comes out in Italy if it does okay from Alex resk and what is your opinion about android marshmallow um seems smoother battery life definitely seems better yeah I like it a lot I don't use google now for anything now on tap though yeah my uh my Nexus 6 i charged it up the other day to do some stuff and it's been off for charging her for 48 hours and still has like half the battery life nice yeah so now overall I'd like marshmallow I don't think it was very much about the forward-facing changes this time though right much more about what was going on under the hood so we'll see what happens with Android in from andreas cotner uh well iphone 7 had wireless charging mmm who knows it's one of those things were like you know I don't think so I don't think it's gonna be until we have a standard click that everybody uses and like us otherwise you can all gonna go around doing chi and PMA and all that stuff and I don't know I think apples sorted gonna wait you know especially till it's good i mean look samsung did a good job last year with the note 5 improving wireless charging speeds but aside from that i haven't seen any other mainstream handsets that are actually making wireless charging like fast and a priority the way they have with wired charging so I mean to me like if I'm sitting here at my desk I mean I can't think of a situation where I'd rather put it on the wireless charger I guess at night because I don't have to worry about the time it takes to charge but I would always rather have it wired because it's so much faster same here I mean it's it just sounds cool it seems cool the ideas awesome you go to Starbucks they put it down the table in a charger you get your car and charges but what good is that if you drive to work and you've charged like three percent like look there doesn't make any sense to me yeah I still preferred wired yeah same from Jeff k thoughts on HTC making the Nexus I don't buy it but I could see it happen i've read the huawei i love boys next I bet 6p has been a good seller so why would Google wants to a stray away from them so quickly my feeling is that Google can kind of bounces around and helps companies that need help when it comes to the Nexus it seems weird i mean i don't i don't know the full story and what they're doing to select you know other than maybe they just go with one partner here and one partner there i mean they've used HTC and samsung and LG and huawei and HTC was the very first one the nexus one so I'd like to see it again I mean if you see makes great handsets but i don't know i don't know that google would would be straying from huawei if if Huawei felt that way that would probably be a problem but I feel like it might be what you're saying Sean like okay let's have somebody else do it now like I don't think it's like this oh we're Lee like we left LG to make the next Nexus because we didn't think they did a good job with the last one or we ditch Sampson like I don't think that's how google sees it i think there's kind of going around sand hey you want to make the nexus is here yeah yeah i think they just try to spread the love around basically that's my guess I have known you know I don't know from Jonathan bourgoin how will Chrome OS and Android OS merging effect Apple's iOS and OS 10 I don't think it is at all yeah I don't think there's they're worried about I mean one day I'd like to see it first play with it you know it sounds like the chroma the pixel see was supposed to be sort of that first Chrome OS tablet hybrid android thing but wasn't because it wasn't ready so let's see how good it is and then we can talk about it hurting I os os dead or whatever and we're gonna go out on a extremely geeky question from brazen Franco Star Wars phantom question on the new Star Wars canned kegs but kylo to become the Darth Caedus from the new non-canon expanded universe that would readily I'd oh um I here's the thing so far kylo is not truly assists so we don't know if he's going to become a dart at all he does I think he's going to be Darth Caedus like but not necessarily Darth Caedus himself I just sent that was actually all in code and I have just ordered a missile strike on your house Todd I think I just blacked out so yeah I I don't know if they're gonna make him a Darth or not but I don't think they will ever use the name Darth Caedus anyway that was a geeky way to close the show so as always
