 I think we're live, welcome to the WAN show. I have my guest co-host here telling me that he thinks this is probably the least prepared that the WAN show has ever been, to which I replied... That was like 40 seconds ago, I actually don't remember what I said, but the point is he's wrong. There have probably been less prepared ones. Luke is going to be back next week, he is on vacation in Taiwan, which must be super duper nice for him. I wish I was on vacation. Not in Taiwan in particular, it's very hot there, but actually, you know, Vancouver's a good place to be this time of year. I wish I was on vacation at my house. That would be perfect. It's good weather these days. Yeah, I wish I didn't have to be at work today, but I do have to be at work today just for you guys. So we've got a bunch of great topics today. The first unboxing of the R9 390X leaked. Sony announced their A7R II. I'm going to refrain from calling it the Mark II like all the Canon people in our office here. Sony doesn't call it Mark II, that's Canon. They're the only ones that do that. Also anyone else who calls something the whatever Mark II, it's fairly common. So don't worry too much about that. WWDC happened this week and Apple announced actually not a lot compared to, you know, last year when they actually had like hardware to show off. No, this time it is all about software changes, but some of them are pretty important. So we'll talk about that. And Oculus did a keynote as well. The launch timeframe is now confirmed. Hopefully it's kind of confirmed. It was very vague still. Yeah, okay. So the launch timeframe is confirmed and they showed off a new controller. So, you know, I'll introduce our special guest after the intro. Oh, sorry. I forgot. Squarespace today. Also, Linda.com and FreshBucks. You know what I'm going to do? I'm going to proactively move the right part of the scene. Why have I never done that before? So when I roll it again for the outro, it'll play. It might. I forgot to do my hair today. Also, this color doesn't translate to the camera very well. It's just like straight up either the monitor can't display it or the camera cannot capture it. It's much brighter in person. Yeah, it's an eyesore in person. That's what I'm going for. All right. So I've got people asking who is that in Luke's place? Don't worry. He has not taken Luke's place. Although there is a funny story about this guy and Luke's place. This is the artist formerly known as Wheels from NCIX Tech Tips is no longer with them. And you know how he came to be involved in the NCIX Tech Tips team was actually he was the. I'm trying to think of a way to say this without it being rude. He was my second choice. Back when I hired Luke, they were the two that I actually had it narrowed down to. And it ended up being Luke who got the job. And because I only had room for one benchmarking monkey at the time and it wasn't until years later when he got far too expensive that I actually had a place for another one that Chris became available. So what do you do now exactly? I do chemical marketing. I basically it's a lot of paper pushing right now. It sounds like the most boring thing ever. Well, eventually it's going to be digital paper pushing and then wow, I know you're like bringing it into the 21st century. I know we're just going to get 365 Office 365. Nice. We're just building our servers now and everything. All right. So guys, we've got a great show for you this week. I did cover some of the topics. That's pretty much all I have. So we might do some Twitter blitzes and stuff like that. I've got a lot of people in Twitch chat asking when is the next Graveyard Wars coming? So they are scheduled. So we actually have a plan every Saturday night our time at midnight. So technically Sunday morning a new part of Scrapyard Wars 2 will be released. So it'll be one week ahead on Vessel and then it'll be whatever people on Vessel saw last week on YouTube until we're done. We are committed to the weekly cadence. So we're not going to do that thing with multi-part stuff anymore where we actually don't have most of it filmed until we start releasing it. And then we get busy with other things and then it's a month between parts. No, we're not doing that anymore. The new policy at Linus Media Group is we film the entire thing and then at least it's only editing that has to be done as we go. And I've got a lot of people that are concerned about multi-part stuff but the reality of it is, I've talked about it on the show before, it is what it is. It takes one of my guys a week to edit it. We maintain all the other nine videos per week that we do on Linus Tech Tips, Channel Super Fun, and on Tech Quickie. And so the rest of my staff has to work on that. So I can only tie up one guy as a dedicated editor for Scrapyard Wars. So why don't we jump into our first topic here? Have you seen this unboxing? I have. I did see this earlier today. It's been pulled down. Really? Yeah. So the unboxing is gone and then when I saw in the Linus Tech Tips thread that the 390X unboxing was gone, I actually went over to double check because you can't believe anything you read on the internet. So I went over on YouTube to check and the video was gone and there was a video that had been posted like 10 minutes prior, okay, that had also been pulled down. But you can read the first snippet of the description so I'm going to find that for you. So all we know about the 390X from these unboxings, hold on, so we can still see them in the search results. I'm going to screen share with you guys. Here we go. Is our R9 390X unboxing. Is it? Is it pulled already? Oh, it looks gone. Where is where did his video go? Red Gaming Tech? No, it wasn't. It was like super unprofessional, like just like some dude. He looked like he didn't sound like he knew, like he wasn't up on everything. He was wondering where the missing crossfire fingers were. Right. And then he was, which if he'd known a 290X, those don't exist on that GPU anymore, the Hawaii. Yeah. So and then he was calling the backplate a heatsink, which it technically is a heatsink, by the way. Some people were hating on him pretty hard for that. And I was like, come on, you guys are just, you guys are just being jerks about it. But you know what? I can't even find it. I can't even find it in the search results anymore. Why don't I take out R9? Maybe just 390X unboxing is going to bring this puppy up. It's probably gone. It probably just took a while for it to propagate through all the servers. Look at that. But I did see it. Yeah. Yeah. So, okay. So basically what the card looks like, and I don't actually have any specs or information for the 390X. So I guess I can speculate what it looks like is an R9 290X with 8 gigs of RAM, which is one of the prevailing rumors about the R9 390X, much to the disappointment. I think of everyone, while it's mostly the AMD fans that I see posting that they're really upset that we could be looking at round two of rebrand the thing, the Nvidia fans should be equally upset. Because even though AMD's market share in discrete graphics is what? Like 30%, I think less than 30% right now. Less than, yeah. When they do something, when AMD makes a move or even threatens to make a move, look, boom, we got 7, excuse me, we got 980 Ti. Because Nvidia wants to like proactively stomp on whatever AMD is trying to do on the Radeon side. That is how we get Nvidia to not be asleep at the wheel and concerned about putting Tegras into cars. If AMD does stuff, we will get better graphics cards and better pricing from Nvidia. So we should all be happy if 390X is freaking awesome. But it doesn't really look that way. The prevailing rumor now is that Fiji XT and Fiji, which will be possibly available in water and air cooled versions and like a little tiny card with a radiator, there's lots of pictures leaking all the time, are going to be the only all new GPUs. Maybe. The rumor is they have enhanced the 290X. The Hawaii is now enhanced version, but we don't know what enhanced means. Could just mean a higher clock, could mean... There was one article with very little credibility that R9 290X was not a fully featured Hawaii chip in the first place. Really? I don't know if I buy that because I can't imagine a world where AMD thought that that power hungry of a chip was going to have more functional units enabled on it. That'd be really hot. So, yeah, I'm really not sure. I mean, we... I don't think we ever got die shots from them. So it's possible. It's theoretically possible. Same thing looks like it did happen with Tonga where we got a 256 bit card and then, oh, all of a sudden, no, hold on, maybe it's 384 bit, which Scott Wasson from Tech Report has been saying since it launched. So it looks like some of the rebranding might actually be unlocking or a slight retooling, but Fiji and Fiji XT, which are not going to be cheap in all likelihood, are probably going to be the only ones that are actually new. One cool thing that did come from the 390X unboxing is that pricing was effectively revealed. I can't remember... There was a Best Buy listing too, I think. Stock at Best Buy. Yep, yep, there was a Best Buy leak yesterday, I believe. Source here is Reddit. I'm just going to... Hold on, I got to sign out of the forum so that I'm not doing that. R9 390X. Oh, please work, you search box, you. There we go. All right, I'll screen share with you guys here. R9 390X unboxing, R9 390X, Best Buy. There we go. In stock at Best Buy. So it's XFX is all over all of these leaks. This image is visible when you're logged in. Anyway, it's an XFX card. And pricing is, I believe... Shoot, I want to say, is it $399 or is it $450? Can't remember for the life of me right now. $450 is what the Reddit thread says. Yeah, okay, so the Reddit thread says $450. I believe that was what the gentleman who posted the unboxing video had also said that he paid. So that is a little bit scary, especially when we consider that the R9 290 and the R9 290X, and this is something I think a lot of people have forgotten, perform pretty damn well near the same. Because R9 290X used to be priced so much higher that R9 290 was the one that everyone was buying. And then R9 290X got a lot more reasonable in price thanks to the fact that it basically performed the same. And you can pick up R9 290Xs on Newegg for $360 or as low as, oh, is that $299.99? That's a good value. That's with a mail-in rebate, however, so $30 of that discount is an MIR. But still, if you're going to tell me that for another 4 gigs of RAM, for 8 gigs of RAM, I'm going to be paying another $150, you better have something else under the hood. Not only that, but actually the listing under this, that's $360 for an 8-gig R9 290X. Oh yeah, that's 8 gigs already. It wouldn't be the first time this happened. I mean, back when R9 280X launched, 7970 GHz edition was a lot cheaper. And 7950s, back when we first started Linus Media Group, 7950s were the card to buy. And that continued well into the 280 and 280X lifecycle because they were just cheaper, because they had an older model name. So if you were savvy, you were getting exactly the same card in that case. And AMD even allows you to crossfire them. That's right, I'll show the same. I mean, is that the ultimate admission of we didn't change anything if people are allowed to crossfire 390Xs and 290Xs? That being said, AMD has always been more flexible about allowing you to crossfire different things. Where Nvidia is just like, it has to be exactly the same, nothing but exactly the same. I find that really frustrating. I mean, they did ease up on it a little bit. Different clock speeds and different vendors. You can mismatch those. Yes. But they used to allow mismatched memory amounts, and they stopped, actually. In fact, there was, I found some ancient guide when I was looking into it again that referenced the Cool Bits tweak, which used to be awesome. Cool Bits was freaking amazing until it completely disappeared off the face of the planet. And anyway, so you could somehow blah, blah, blah, mix and match video memory. And I believe that was on the Nvidia site. I sent them a memo about it. Video Cool Bits is so not a thing anymore. And also, you can't do that anymore. I don't think it was ever even super official, but... No. Yeah, there is no reason that you shouldn't have been able to SLI a GTX 680 and a GTX 770. Well, even more recently, I tried to SLI a 770s, but they had different memory. Yep. Nope. Nope. Tried everything. Won't work. Yep, will not work. They do not allow it. So let's move on to our next topic here. This was... Oh, so that unboxing was posted by Inimigor? Inimigor? Inimigor? Maybe it's LNimigor, like liquid nitrogen. I don't know what he's going for. Inimigor. The next one is Sean Angelo is the original poster here. And the original article is from NGadget. So let's go ahead and pop that baby up on the screen. This is looking like one freaking heck of a camera, if you are into that sort of thing. This is the A7R II, Sony's full frame mirrorless DSLR sort of-ish camera. I mean, yes, it is an SLR. It's like a 42.4 megapixel still camera. Like, just absolutely whopping the butt of its predecessor at 36.4 megapixels. And even more impressively, this one shoots 4K video now, so it looks like it's going up straight against something like the Panasonic GH4. Albeit at a higher price. But Sony is... It's the one thing we can really say this about. Sony is the imaging sensor master right now. Sony is at the top of their game. And I think that and what is it? Sony Financial? I have no idea. Yeah, I think that was it for profitability. Oh man, brutal. And there might have been something else. And I apologize to any of the Sony fans who I missed something else that Sony does well. I mean, we're fans of Sony. You use Sony for the FS. NX Tech Tips uses the VG900, which is the full frame camcorder. Yep. And yeah. So, okay. So it has the world's first back illuminated sensor, giving it a sensitivity of up to 102,400 ISO. Now, to be clear, it's not usable. Like, you can't use that. But that is still... Like, it works. You can turn it up that high. You can get an image. There's actually... Shoot, what was that previous Sony Seize in the Dark YouTube? Wasn't it the A7S that you can see basically in a dark room? Yeah, I believe so. So yeah, hold on. I had looked at a video earlier today and it just blew my mind. Yeah, here it is. Sony A7S Low Light Test in Complete Darkness. Oh. Sorry, sorry, sorry. Pick optic for more speed with blazing fast internet. Yeah, this video is pretty incredible. Okay, so 6400 ISO, 12800 ISO. Now, even the FS700, the one we have, I think goes up to 32,000 or something like that. But this is a whole other level. So this is 50,000 ISO. A7S is bananas. This room has no lights on. So they crank it up even further, I think. Yeah, there it is. I mean, it gets grainy. Yeah. I mean, that's what happens when you crank it up. There it is. That's 400,000 ISO. And you can see if I zoom in, that is some super, super duper grainy footage. But the fact that it can see anything is pretty darn impressive. Yeah. What else do we have to say about this? E-mount camera. That's okay because, you know, hopefully we will get an adapter from our friends over at Metabones. Yeah, Metabones. Thank you. We'll get a speed booster. Can you imagine this thing with a speed booster? That's pretty impressive, I must say. It's going to be ridiculous. 5-axis image stabilization is another thing. Now, it's not cheap. They are targeting $3200. So for people who are kind of like GH4, A7R2, wow, $1200 is an awful lot of money. Not to mention that Panasonic has that new... There's that newer, cheaper 4K, like... Panasonic G7. I believe they have a launch event in Vancouver in not that long from now. That one's only $1000. Also does 4K video recording, but unlike the GH4, does not have the most modern sensor. Right. So, you know, take that for what it is. I haven't seen any results from that one yet. So hopefully we'll learn a little bit more about that soon. I'm sure the Vimeo crowd will upload all sorts of videos, right? The Vimeo crowd is pretty good about that, aren't they? Alright, next topic here, guys. Posted by Sam Needham on the forum. I can't believe people were giving poor Sam crap over this. The first reply to the post, which Sam entitled... Apple WWDC 2015 official thread was something along the lines of, Who died and made you the king of making an official thread for WWDC? Come on! It's a nice thing to do! Sam did a great job of posting... He curated it. It was nice. It was good. He did What to Expect, Bunches.OS 10, 10.11, iOS 9, New Streaming Music Service, which is all pretty much bang on. There were a couple things that were missing, particularly Apple Watch things that were missing in the What to Expect, but I think we still gotta give Sam credit here. He did a good job. He did a good job. So here's a bunch of pictures from the keynote, but I've got... I'll try and cover what I thought was the most interesting stuff. They went with OS 10 El Capitan. I thought that was really weird. It's a mountain inside Yosemite? So is this a subversion? They didn't change much. So maybe... Maybe. Maybe that's what the reasoning was. It also sounds ridiculous. It's like, What OS are you running? El Capitan. Yeah. It doesn't sound very Apple-like. No, it's... Lion, Cheetah, you can get behind those. Even Yosemite was kind of like, okay, well that's... You know, the first thing I thought of, and maybe this is just because I'm an idiot, but I went, Yosemite Sam? Yep. I kind of went, okay. Like if they'd gone with Everest, I don't know, Kilimanjaro, or something. Some of the more famous natural landmarks, I think, would have been more appropriate. Yeah, anyway. All right, so what have we got here? And I know not all of you guys are necessarily the hugest fans of Apple, but I'm going to talk about what they did in the context of why it's important for us, even if we aren't particularly fans of Apple. So we'll start with, actually, you know what, I totally forgot to put... Yeah, I'm going to start with iOS 9, because there's something I forgot to put in my notes and I remembered just now. So Force Touch is coming to iOS 9, which presumably means that an upcoming iPhone will also support Force Touch. Force Touch is really cool. I really hope that either Apple's patent web around Force Touch is not strong enough, or everyone will just blatantly copy them anyway, because I would love to see Force Touch on more devices as soon as possible. It's really cool. It's like really good haptic feedback. Yeah. Like done properly. Yeah, and the funny thing about it was I actually got confused when I was working on my review of the MacBook 2015, because I was like, I thought they said the touchpad doesn't move. Yeah, I got to use it like last weekend for the first time, and people were all saying like, oh, it's like as if you're using a touchpad that clicks. I'm like, how could it be? Like really, you're going to fool my fingers with vibrations? I was like, I was doubtful, but it works. It really does work. And even though it didn't work in Windows, I forced myself to use OS X for a little bit of my time with the device. Being able to have that second layer of functionality fixes the lack of right click for me. Like if I could go press for left click, press hard for right click, all of a sudden I never need to take my finger off the trackpad anymore. How cool is that? I don't have to worry about these buttons that I always want, and I want to be nice and nice and, you know, tactile so that I can two hand it. Don't need that anymore. Very, very cool. And if it also, you know, makes it thinner and gives you extra room for these thin and lights to give more space for whatever else, always better. I mean, not that Apple necessarily crams anything that useful in them. Razer managed to. That's the thing. People say like I see a lot of comparisons between the Blade and the MacBook Pro, and I kind of go, there is no comparison. Razer managed to cram a GTX 970M in here. What did Apple do? Yeah. I mean, I guess they put a bigger battery in. Okay. That has value to some people. All right. So let's talk other iOS stuff here. This is really cool. How did this take so long? When someone calls you from an unknown number, it checks your like emails and crap and tries to find it in an email signature or something and is like, hey, this might be this person. Yep. That's awesome. That's smart. That's freaking awesome. I hope someone else copies it. Because I don't always add people to my contacts, like pretty much never unless I'm like sure that this person is going to be contacting me for a while because it takes extra time and effort. And if it just can be like, hey, this is probably Jane that called you about that thing you asked about, you know, that's way better. Freaking awesome. Safari pin sites. I can't believe they even showed this off. I can't believe this was even a highlight feature. Oh, no, sorry. I'm back on. Sorry. I'm doing iOS first. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. I was like, what's happening? Improved search with suggested people, apps, nearby locations and news. Really cool. They have also added an API for search. That's the big one. Obviously, it's the developer conference. The reason that's important is now all of a sudden app developers can allow search to search their app and they can actually deep link within their app. So if I have, let's say, an app that I transcode videos from a server and then can load them on to my device, I could search for that and I could deep link and play that video directly. And when I press back, it'll go back to my search results. That's pretty freaking cool. They've added some proactive features. Well, that was a word they really wanted to use a lot here. So, for example, when you plug in a headphone jack, a little music icon shows up in the bottom left. You know, you can swipe up from the bottom right for the camera. Well, now you can swipe. Get out of here. Who's moving in the background? That's Burkle and I saw him with a rubber band gun. I think they have ruined their element of surprise. And I have I have a half empty container of orange juice that I'm going to throw at you. If you come in during the show. Yeah, that's right. It's been on Nick's desk for God knows how long. So it's probably rotten orange juice. Be prepared. Okay. Where are we going? Right. So that's not really that's not groundbreaking. I mean, Yahoo's avi8 launcher has been a lot more contextually aware than that for a long time. Yes. But that's that's cool. The one thing they showed off that impressed me a little bit more was he's like, oh, well, I usually meditate in the morning. So now there's a meditation app there. And obviously, I don't give two craps about that. But if it knows because the first thing I do when I roll over in my bed in the morning is I check my email. What do you do? Yep. I check my email first thing. So if I don't even have to in my bleary eyed state figure out like where my email app is, which I'm not an idiot. I can find my email app. I know if I can just do it with one touch. Hey, great. Little things like that make the device more natural to use. Yep. Apple Pay just got support from Square, which is really cool. That's interesting partnership. Yeah. That should really drive adoption for the little guys who can barely accept credit card at all and now can take Apple Pay. Yep. But the bigger one for me actually is the loyalty program integration. So being able to store all of your loyalty cards in Apple Pay means I mean how many here. Let's do it. You got your wallet. Yep. Okay. I'm going to straw poll you guys. I want you guys to tell me. Tell me. Tell me about this. Straw poll. Okay. How many loyalty slash rewards cards are in your wallet or purse right now? So let's go with zero. Let's go with sort of one to three. I'd say as a light user. Four to eight would be actually no. Let's go one to two as a light user and then let's say three to five as a medium user and then six plus as a heavy user. And I want to I want to hear from you guys. All right. I'm going to post this in the chat. Give me just a second here guys. Where's my chat link? I don't have Luke to help me. You're not as good as Luke. That's why I didn't hire you. That's a cheap shot. It's a cheap shot. Okay. So I'm going to throw this straw. I'm sorry. I really am a terrible person. There's no excuse. All right. So hold on. Let me let me. Okay. You really? No way. I've got so it's a stack. What is all this crap? Do you mind? Yeah. Here let me insult you and then dig through some of them are gift cards. Okay. So Timmy Hoes. But still Timmy Hoes. The global connection gift card. Yep. Home Depot. Okay. Air miles and bigger smiles. Scene card. These are cool. These are handy. Scene card. So movie movie rewards. Costco. Okay. Great West life. Okay. I don't think that counts. Okay. That's fair. BCAA. Okay. You don't have to pay for that. But if you could. I mean if Apple Pay could be expanded to include. Hey any card I can get out of my wallet. Really? Cabs? Yep. Huh. And this is like a like it's a corporate like membership card. And then Bubblicious Tea House. VIP card. Yeah. I actually have a membership card for like a party supplies store. Oh yeah. Because we get props and crap there. I don't think I have that in my wallet. I think I have that one in my car. But I'm going to count it. If they can make it easy enough for little guys to implement it. I mean they don't have to print cards. They don't have to worry about all that stuff if they can just get Apple. This is still hypothetical. I have like recreation center membership cards. I don't see any reason why you couldn't use something like an Apple-y wallety type thing for that. I also have a BCAA membership. But I'm a pretty light user. Most of mine are debit and credit cards. So I want to I but I want to I want to hear from the viewers like how many of you guys would see a significant improvement. Wow. Wow. 35% of you have zero loyalty or rewards cards. Mind you I guess I technically don't have any either. I don't have any loyalty or rewards cards in my wallet. I do keep a couple in my car though. And another 29% of you are one to two. So that's 50 excuse me 65% of you have between zero and two loyalty or rewards cards. You guys are really the wrong audience for this particular Apple Pay feature. I mean 16% of you have a turnip in your wallet apparently. That's a thick wallet. Yeah that takes the George Costanza wallet to a whole new level. Yeah. Interesting. Well I thought that was a big deal. So apparently I was wrong. Maps now supports transit which is like Google feature from a long time ago. Like a bazillion years ago. OK. It is cool that they've actually mapped out the subway stations and then accounted for not like arriving there but also arriving there and like traversing through it to the correct platform. That's fair. That's very cool. But I think they're only supporting something like I think it was I want to say 12 or 16 like major global around. So like there's one city in Canada and we can all guess which one that is. Not here. Not Vancouver. So yeah and then there's like I think London New York. It's like there's a couple cities and then surprisingly a bunch of places in China. Yeah. And they skipped they went through that slide like really fast. They were like global rollout. It's like a handful of cities. Plus I think it was it was like 30 or 300 or something cities in China. Yeah I was all shocking amount really aggressive aggressively pushing this feature in China where I guess public transit is maybe not more of a thing but maybe more maybe more confusing or maybe less routine. Well I don't have any numbers solid numbers but everyone I know that is a relative that lives in China has an iPhone like everybody. Like I asked them if they have Android. They're just like what iPhone. There you go. The app OK app switcher and multitasking finally coming and it's really funny because we can look at something like OK Samsung has had like multi window view stuff for for a while two years now. I mean it hasn't always been great but they've had it. No it's always sucked. That's the problem. So Samsung has had two years to iterate on this stuff and then we've apparently got minus tech tips viewers rolling by on their on their bikes. So Samsung has had a couple years to iterate on this and Apple comes out the gate and has an implementation that just looks way better like just way better. Have you seen the videos. I have not. OK. Bunch of functionality. So you swipe in from the side you can bring in a thing and then you do another thing. I think you click it or double click it or something. Can't remember but it looked really intuitive to use and then that brings up a bunch of other compatible side to you apps that you can scroll through. Then all you do is you touch the divider and you can move it over to make it not just like like Microsoft's done this. Samsung's done this is the stuff that's been done but it's done really well here. Microsoft's implementation on Windows R T when it first launched was not very good on the surface. This looks really really good and the apps can run side by side. They're fully interactive. They showed off the demo where they're actually touching both apps at the same time. Not that I can think of too many situations where that would come in handy much like the keyboard we reviewed this week that supports 256 key presses. Simultaneously all of them. So you could actually have like in an alternate universe another one of the same keyboard and you could press all the buttons on that too and the processor wouldn't bug down. OK SteelSeries you did good. They finally and this is more of a finally for Apple. They finally dramatically improved cursor and highlighting. Finally and copy paste functionality is now built into the quick type keyboard and this is something that I believe Sony and LG have both done reasonably well in the past. But picture in picture video watching while you're doing other things. I like that a lot. Freaking awesome. Really glad to see it. The integration looks really good. So now with search you can search it'll search for YouTube videos or even videos within your apps. Once they once they use the search API to make themselves searchable you can be like play you can move it around. This is a cool feature and this is something that's surprisingly surprisingly sort of out of the box actually is you can drag the video. So just a sliver of it is showing you actually put most of it off screen and like I'm like oh yeah that's a really good idea. You would never want to do that on a desktop because why you have so much screen real estate. But on a tablet I could actually see that being very useful if you just want to listen for a bit. Very cool. Yep. I want it on Android. Just like that. Yeah. And the good news is it'll probably happen. Eventually. Yep. Let's talk OS 10 El Capitan. This is cool. New gestures. Okay. Okay. This is this is one of those ones where I'm kind of going you really are catering to kind of a like I don't want to say a simpler audience but they've got a new gesture where when you get to your computer you kind of move your mouse around to see where it is. It gets huge for a second so you can find it. Oh I suspect that that feature will mostly only be useful to the people who need jumbo mouse cursors in the first place. But well to be fair I run four monitors and sometimes I'm like which one is it on because I've got a 1440p and then like three 1080s as an optional feature to enable. All right. All right. All right. I'll give you this Apple. Somebody will use it. They've also got touchpad gestures now for marking emails on red or deleting them something that we've had on Android forever. Go figure. Way to go Samsung. You were you were light years ahead of the game on this particular one. Yep. Safari pinned sites. How is this a feature? This is laughable. The fact that you can have pinned sites in Safari. I mean like here here's my Chrome. They're like yeah. So like your pin sites. So the pin sites actually stack up next to your tabs in Safari which I guess is efficient because you don't actually have to use up two separate rows for them. So you just take them and you kind of go OK. Now it's now it's pinned and I'm kind of sitting here going OK but I could just. Oh actually technically apparently I cannot do that. OK. Well I thought you could do whatever. I don't have difficulty creating pinning things anyway. They're pin right click pin. This is my right click is good. That's just as fast. So I. Yeah I really don't see how this is a feature. They're like yeah. So you can like you can like open it. Check this out. You can like open it and then you're like pin thing is still there. And I'm like yeah. OK. So we've had that. So again the functionality that the many button mouse affords us middle click on a pinned bookmark open a new tab. Wow. So revolutionary very amazed much wow. Spotlight can be. They actually joked about this because I think a lot of these updates they know that they're pretty trivial. Spotlight on OS 10 can now be resized and even moved around. But that's because it has a lot more functionality. So you can you can search with natural terms. You can be like documents I just worked on emails from this person that I haven't read yet. Like that. That's very cool. And it can search for like more stuff now. Can't remember the details and I didn't make very good notes. Apple search has always been better. Here's another catch up and overtake Microsoft thing. And yes Apple search is way ahead of Microsoft search. But Microsoft was still ahead of the game for window management. And it blew me away when I did my OS 10 I switched and I realized that when you switch to a new a new active window it would just like go on your screen like wherever the crap you left it. And the only way to resize stuff other than you know they're horrible like theater mode full screen which is so obnoxious. I hate it. It's awful. It's horrendous. Please don't take away all my buttons. You got a 5k display. Don't do that. Anyway it blew me away that there was no way to just you know snap stuff or throw it into quadrants or I mean even even stupid stuff like oh I'm going to put it kind of here and this is like the one improvement that they've made to AeroSnap since they launched it now I can make it full height. Well finally Apple does AeroSnap so you can go sides and sides and they actually blew Microsoft away on this one when you AeroSnap something to the left you get an expose on the right and you can pick what you want your right side to be which makes a ton of sense. That is faster than snapping something going and hunting for it because I don't snap something to one side unless I want something else on the other side. Thinking outside the box. I mean we got AeroSnap with Vista. Yes. How has it not and yes they've added things. I know they've added things. Not enough things at all. And you know what's really funny to me about Vista is remember the horrible multitasking interface from Vista. The Windows tab. Yeah that horrendous Windows tab like slideshow thing. Yes. That's apparently where we're going back to. Lollipop has it. Yeah. iOS has it now. How did that come back into fashion. It was horrible then it's horrible now. Anytime you have to animate when I'm multitasking you know multitasking is a power user feature in itself. So what power user wants to go Windows tab and wait for the windows to shuffle in and then animate the front of your screen. Now in iOS's defense it looked pretty smooth when they were doing it. But the stupid thing about it and they pitched this as a feature is your multitasking things that you swipe through are like full screen. They're big so you can see them. You don't need to read it. I just need to know what app it is. Show me more stuff. Anyway. That that made me sad. Let's see how hard Twitch is hating on the fact that I'm talking about WWDC. People are like Windows 10. Did they bring it back in Windows 10 because I don't I don't particularly like I haven't actually played with Windows 10. I don't particularly like the Windows tab and Windows 8 either. And this isn't great either unless you have a touch screen. This is actually great with the touch screen because Bippity Bop you can be like yeah alt tab that. Thank you. This is fast. But the whole like slideshow thing I think is horrendous. What I'd like to see is the closest we can get to HTC's. I'm not sure if they actually do it anymore but the sense multitasking where it just is expose style. Yeah my mate is all I think people are telling me that Windows 10 does the expose style thing. Really. Yeah. Hold on. Let me have a look. Let me have a look. Let me have a look. Windows. Yeah I have my people have asked me if I'm covering Windows 10 and I generally don't even touch Windows OS until it's released because I'm going to go and I'm going to the first thing I'm going to do in order to actually use it is I'm going to put it on a production machine. So there you go. So I generally don't really feel like I don't really feel like using pre release software. So OK so snap assist two by two snapping and vertical snap features that that that that. OK snap assist. Yeah there you go. OK thank you. You guys totally wrecked me on that one. I appreciate that because at least we managed to not get through the entire show without it being corrected. This is why I love you guys. Twitch chat like you know what. That's where the Twitch chat is best used when it takes 4000 people saying the same thing to get something done. That is Twitch chat 4000 people saying the same thing over and over again. I love you guys. Did someone re-upload the 390X unboxing. I see someone posting something. Yeah so that's that's interesting. It's really terrible so we really don't need to watch it. But there's really not much. It's got the double D cooler with the facets on it. And he flips it over is like back play. That's it. All right. So more Apple crap. And this is really important not because it's Apple but because it's a huge industry shift. So they've done some performance optimization in El Capitan. They're quoting things like 4X PDF opening performance 2X app switching performance 1.4X app launch performance something along those lines. Don't quote me on those numbers. They're not. They're not the important part necessarily. What's important is that these performance optimizations look like a big part of what they're spending time on. And why would they be doing that? Well, Coram. Not Coram. I think they're going to do their own CPU probably in the next two years. So I think I think because the thing about it and I've had people go oh Linus you're an idiot because you know it would break x86 application compatibility. It would do this and do that. It's not like Apple's never done that before. Yep. In fact, they don't care. Yeah. They don't. They don't give a crap. They're going to go with whatever they think is the best long term user experience and they're going to they're going to rock that out. And they're going to get developer support in a way that no one else really seems to because they make it so profitable for developers. That's why developers are so excited about WWDC. I've got a bunch of messages from from people. Oh, yeah. Okay. Oh, okay. Both Ed and and Nick are messaging me with crap about the the 390x unboxing that is that is back apparently. And for some reason, they also want to know what your favorite band is. What are you guys doing? All right. So that was that coming. That was that was the fully that was the fully auto rubber band one of the fully automatic rubber band guns that's going to be on an upcoming channel. Super fun. Right. Okay. So where are we going with this? Okay. So there's all those optimizations and then the metal graphics API, which is pretty much the Apple answer to a mantle or a DX 12 in terms of what we're trying to achieve here. So better performance out of the same graphics hardware. And then actually, this is really cool. So they're claiming up to eight times better after effects performance better than open CL and open GL with their partner Adobe using the metal API. So that would be very better power consumption, better performance. Wow. Looking very, looking very, very cool. So yeah, I will be I will be surprised if they don't do if they don't have like I don't think it necessarily has to be a desktop running Apple's own CPU. I don't think that's the point. I think it would be more like a MacBook three like a MacBook 2015 Gen three or something like that, like a hyper mobile device running, you know, OS 10, some Mount St. Helens or whatever. Stupid completely tasteless mountain. They decide to use Crater Lake. I'll skim through the rest of it pretty quickly because that was the stuff that I thought was interesting. Watch OS 2 is coming. It allows native apps now. It allows new, more informative watch faces with like dynamic backgrounds that you can have the time lapse video that they took of something or something. It has this is cool. So you can have information displayed dynamically. So like your next appointment and weather and then you can kind of use the crown and be like, oh, well, what about my appointment after that and the weather later? And like, what about even later than that? So they're calling that time time travel or something time travel feature. Yeah. Yeah. Apple, man. They just all they have to do is use the word magic and and then another associated things like, yeah, it's time travel. Now I feel really cool. I do. Yeah, I'm time traveling into the future. I've got a dentist appointment. It's exciting. They've improved contact sorting on the watch. They've added email replies. Basically, it's just feature creep. So they're adding more features to get it up closer to feature parity with with Android Wear. Thank you. Why couldn't I remember what it was called? I said, where the hell is my charger for the Gwatch R? I ordered it like two weeks ago. I haven't used the Gwatch R since the latest Wear update. Well, you know, like attack something. I'm excited for the native apps so that they don't have to stream everything. Also, the Apple Music announcement was the biggest load of fluff nonsense that I think that I've ever seen. It was basically just a bunch of touchy feely BS. It's coming in at a similar price to other streaming services. You're going to be able to listen to music just like other streaming services. They're adding a 24 7 radio station that's broadcasting from L.A., New York and London, because those are like trendy cities. So I should care where a radio station I'm listening to is broadcasting from. Why do I care? I have no idea. It's the radio. It could be broadcasting from the moon. Well, that would be cool. That'd be pretty cool. Yeah. Or a Mars station. Yeah. Star Elon Musk. Yeah. OK, that would be cool. If it's a city on Earth, I don't give a crap. Broadcast from underground. OK, that would be cool, too. It just seemed like it was a me too feature. I can't even come up with something stupid enough to be as stupid as caring. Anyway, so 24 7 radio, which I guess there's a lot of radio stations. So whatever. And this is this is sort of cool, but I also kind of look at it as potentially just tedious. So they have their connect feature where artists and their fans can interact. So an artist could like upload exclusive content or they could just put that on Twitter or something. It seems like an odd thing that they wouldn't that they would do. Yeah, you can upload music, videos and photos to fans. So I guess Apple wants to be a social network now, I guess. But I don't really understand. I guess I don't really understand the benefit because Apple has made it very clear that they are not in the business of farming your social network data. So what's in it for them? I don't know. Maybe they just artsy fartsy and they want, you know, more ways for it almost seems like a reaction to title. They're like, oh, the title has got all these artists and they're signed up and they're going to be like, that's their hub for their music. And they're like, Apple's like, yeah, we can do that, too. You can post stuff to your fans with Apple Music. Yeah, I don't really I don't really care. I mean, they're going to convert a ton of people regardless, just because it's Apple and it's going to be like, gee, what music subscription service should I get for my iPhone? I guess I'll get Apple Music. But I just I'll need to see them do something a little bit more interesting with it before I can get super excited. Titer integration is always always nice, especially when we're talking about something like music. All right. Speaking of integrations, it's sponsor time. So sponsor number one is Linda.com. I think we all know what Linda.com does at this point. But just in case we don't, they have over three thousand courses available online at that website I mentioned, Linda.com. And you can learn all kinds of cool stuff, whether it's photography, visual design, business, video editing, learn new skills, get a new career or just enhance your hobby. Yeah, I took an SQL course on it recently. Did you really? How was that? It was good. Did you use our code? I hate you. I did. Oh, did you? Oh, I did. Oh, thank you. Good job. And what do you preemptively tells me he hates me. What benefit do you get from our code? Well, you get a 10 day free trial. It's all you can eat for 10 days and you can decide if Linda.com is right for you. Plan start at only twenty five dollars a month and you can learn at your own pace on your own schedule and all that good stuff when you're not busy hawking chemicals. Sponsor number two for where is my Squarespace lower third? Chris. Well, I hate it for me. OK, that's OK. Squarespace actually has a new feature that is not in my notes because I forgot to Nick's Nick's away today. See, this is Nick's chair. It's empty. He's not sitting in it. Nick is away, which makes me extremely sad and makes the show more disorganized, makes it so that, you know, things like, oh, gee, what are Squarespace's new features that we should be talking about this week? Makes it so that's not done. This is cool. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Right. They emailed me. This was really relevant to me because I thought that it was relevant to me. So all customers upgrading to a professional or business plan on Squarespace from now through to the end of June will receive one free professional Gmail account at your domain for one year. Yep. Really cool because and obviously this is just for Google to get you hooked on the crack that is Google Apps for Business because it's freaking awesome and makes a ton of sense. We use it. Did you guys switch? We did. Yeah. Makes it makes a ton of sense. And it used to be that it was free up to 10 users. In fact, I had a grandfathered an account that I got right before the switch. Oh, but the thing about that is that as soon as you needed 11 email accounts, you had to pay for all of them. So anyway, at least now you can get a taste of it. You can try it out. Having that integration with Google Docs and your Gmail and your calendar is is awesome. And really nice. Yeah, I guess I should talk about what Squarespace is at least a little bit responsive design, easy to make a beautiful website. They've got lots of different templates, blogs, stores, whatever you want pretty much. And they've got I think they've got an easy tool now to to do like those one page sites that are in fashion now. And quite frankly, I hate them. So I'm not going to give Squarespace any props for making those easier for people to make. I get people I get people emailing me. They're like, hey, do you want to review sample this thing? And I'm like, gee, I don't know. Your website is useless as I'm trying to think of a useless as that's not completely politically incorrect right now. Um, uh, um, a, uh, OK. Well, very your website is useless. I know nothing about what you do. I'm not going to get on the phone to talk to you about it. Just have a website that has information on anyway. Squarespace can help you build those kinds of websites with real information, too. So this is Squarespace dot com and use offer code minus to save 10 percent. And finally, FreshBooks FreshBooks. These guys seem to actually be getting a ton of signups from you people. I had no idea how many of you are running or know people who run small businesses. In fact, I'm just I'm just curious how many of you do or or know someone who runs a small business? Yes, no. And please don't vote twice. I wish straw poll instead of showing you the link would just take you directly to the link and I can copy it from my browser bar because I'm not that stupid or just copy it automatically. There you go. I want to hear from you guys because apparently these guys have been seeing a ton of results. So what does FreshBooks do? Basically, it's like a cloud based accounting thing so you can track your you can log your hours. You can keep track of your jobs. You can send bills to your clients. You can see that they've read them, which is critical. Has the client read the invoice? Well, then why haven't I been paid? And you can get paid through it as well via credit card. So it makes it the actual accounting and money collection process easier so you can spend your time plumbing or or carpentry or whatever it is that you happen to do and not worry about all that nonsense accounting stuff. So there you go. It looks like so FreshBooks.com slash when to get a free trial today. I'm going to screen share with you guys now because it looks like that is why FreshBooks sponsor spots are doing really well with us because straight up 60 percent of you. Have someone either can use it or have someone that you can refer to it. I had no idea actually that our audience was that small businessy. You know, the funny thing is small businesses everywhere, though, you can make anything. I grew up in a house with my parents were teachers. So like I always thought that I was going to grow up and go to university and just be a teacher. I hadn't even thought outside the box that far. I think it's a lot easier now with the Internet because now you can, you know, like you can use Squarespace to set up your business and then you can, you know, use Linda.com to learn how to do something. That's right. Learn everything else. And then, you know, you charge people with FreshBooks. But like, honestly, you can start a business is way easier. You can get a reach. You can get an audience. You can create a business with a lot less effort than it used to take. And the really interesting thing is that those kinds of services play a huge part in that. I mean, can you imagine a world and it's funny because I can. I lived in it. Can you imagine a world where to start up a business, you had to have an accountant or learn how to do bookkeeping straight up or you had to you had to pay someone. And remember in the early days of website creation, how expensive it was to get someone to make something anything more complicated than a GeoCities site would cost a fortune because it was really complicated. There was no there was no interface. It was a guy coding it line by line to have the proper alignment of tables and everything. It's complicated to make a website from scratch, like from scratch coming from someone that has a development background. It's not easy. And nowadays it's just like, yeah, here's my website. I'm going to drag and drop. I mean, it's not quite that easy, but I'm going to drag and drop some nice pictures. It's pretty close to a Squarespace. You click on something is like, hey, I'd like an image here with a caption and a paragraph. And it's like, I want that on every page. And it just does it. It makes a part of your template and makes it really nice. So yeah, it's it's and I guess that's probably pretty important given that, you know, you've heard about the McDonald's fully automated restaurant. I love bringing it up because it's the scariest thing ever. Because that is going to kill so many entry level jobs. You're going to be a kid in high school with no way to put gas in your car because there is nothing to do for like a summer or weekend job. Seriously, automation is going to kill a lot of low paying jobs. So kids are going to have to get off their butts, make a website, come up with like something cool to sell on the Internet or or whatever or whatever it is. They're going to have to be entrepreneurial. That's going to be a big change. I mean, it's no secret that the corporations, man, have been trying to cut back the amount they pay and the numbers that they need of the little workers. And I have to find something else to do. Yeah, this video is on. I always refer to the humans need not apply. It's really good videos, really well done. But it's just like there are a lot of jobs that machines can do more consistently. They can work without sleep and all you need is a mechanic just to make sure when things break down, they're like, oh, you know, let me swap out a part. And then the whole machine keeps running. Yeah. And you know what? It's funny. I had a I had a conversation with with my sister's boyfriend yesterday. He's going into helicopter pilot training, which it turns out is a sixty thousand dollar four month program. Holy smoke. Yeah. And you're like not going to get a job at that point. You have to do like apprenticeship stuff like you're paid, but like you're not paid paid like a pilot paid yet. And I was like, wow, paying off the school that you just spent money on. Exactly. So I was like, OK, so hey, like, what's the plan? He's like, well, you know, it pays really well. It's always been a dream of mine. I kind of go, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's cool. What's he so far? And I kind of went, well, what about what about automation of jobs? And I brought up the McDonald's because I love talking about it. I think it's fascinating. And he kind of goes, well, you know, in flight, a lot of unpredictable things are going to happen. And humans are way better at that than machines. And that's true. But I kind of went, well, you know, ten years ago, how smart was a machine? Now we have consumer grade drones that you can literally draw on your tablet. Here's some waypoints. Yes. And come back when you're done. That's ten years. Think about what another ten years is going to do to automation. Not to mention that I think within ten years, maybe 20, even if we need a real live pilot, they're going to be flying remotely. There's no way you're going to put a pilot in that, you know, firefighting helicopter if you don't have to know. You could just carry more firefighting material instead of a chair and a person. You get a VR headset, you get a cockpit, and it's like you have a 360 camera. It's like you're you're sitting there because you can look around to see, you know, your peripheral. Because that's one of the main things that's hard about driving remotely is that you've got like this one fixed camera. You've got your screen. It's like you've got no peripheral or anything else. But if you can get like a rig where you can basically pilot a drone remotely, that's that's the dream. That's freaking freaking incredible. Speaking of drones, I got I tell you, I got one of the Phantom Threes. No, but I saw your post on on Twitter or Instagram or something. It's super fun. Yeah, because it's they incorporated the light bridge technology. So you get a full 720p view as you're flying in, which is like light years ahead of the Phantom 2, which is where you get like this 480p, 15 frames per second. And it was like really, really bad resolution. It's fun. Yeah, very cool stuff. The the Bebop is not that sophisticated. It's still using Wi-Fi. But that's the closest thing I have. The good thing about the Bebop is it's got that redonkulous antenna module that you can attach to it. Yes. With that, you've got a pretty good live view. Still very grainy. It's not going to be like full quality 720p. Right. But a lot better. And you know what? Actually, drones tie really well into this next topic. Oculus finally sort of has a launch date. It was posted on the forum by Lord Sparkle Bottomed and is some pretty pretty vague stuff, actually. OK, they didn't they didn't give us like a whole ton of detail. The design. The design looks much more consumer friendly than some of the earlier designs that really were kind of square and looked very developer kitty. Let me see if I can. I almost thought that was a disadvantage because I was like it just looks so like it just looks so smooth now. Really? Because I was like, well, it doesn't look doesn't have that like, oh, you're clearly wearing something that's different. Now it just seems something that's just kind of like it's very smooth because it's got that fabric on the outside. Yeah, it has a crop on the outside. That's really unexpected. I mean, I'm going to get so much Dorito cheese stained into that cloth. I think they did that to obstruct the LEDs, right? Because the LEDs are sitting right below that. And so now you don't have exposed LEDs on the outside like Crystal Cove. You've just got this single black meshed covering. Yeah, I really I really like the look of it. I'm trying to find a good picture right now. Here's a here's a render. So this might be this might be the best we can do for the moment. But you can see you can see a couple of things here. So we've got what they're calling. What is it? VR sound or something like that. Yeah. So the head the headband comes straight around and then they've got these two kind of things that just sit on the headband. It's kind of like upside down like bug antenna. Yeah. Yeah. Fortunately, thank goodness for this. You can remove the crap out of those and put your own headphones on. So that's like super nice. There we go. There's a there's a better look at how incredibly uncomfortable those are going to be. I mean, if you're the kind of person where Supra oral headphones work for you, then great. They do not work for me. I don't think they mentioned if there's a headphone jack on the Oculus. Is there? I don't think we don't have much in terms of specs. Yeah. All they're saying is custom low persistence display. They give they give a resolution. Did they? Yes. I saw a resolution here somewhere. I missed that higher than 1080p. OK. But we already had 1440p. So I mean, for them to reduce it would be would be pretty pretty stupid. Yeah. Oh, oh, yes. So 2160 by 1200 at 90 hertz split over the dual displays. Yeah. OK. Was you got 1080 by 1200 per eye? OK. OK. And then. Well, that. Yeah. OK. That should be OK. I mean, it's not 4K and hopefully that's coming soon. The other big deal is what are they calling this Oculus Touch or something like that? Yes. Can you double check? I have I have it in their Oculus Touch. So this was the other big one. So the the Rift consumer version will ship sometime in Q1 2016. So we have some idea when it's coming out at least. And it will come with an Xbox one controller. So that's a partnership that they've entered with Microsoft. However, sometime in the first half of 2016, the Oculus Touch is going to become available. This is a wireless, although we've got a remote flinging prevention wrist straps on it. Thank goodness, because that gripping that thing is going to be. Yeah. You know, dangerous. This is going to be. So it's a wireless, lightweight and both hand tracking and gesture capable controller. So you've actually got some traditional controls on here. You've got buttons and joysticks. But you'll also be able to do things like give a thumbs up or or point at something. Yeah, there's there's grip handles underneath that have a button so you can like make gestures with it. And there's sensors on the inside of that ring. The ring on the inside has sensors that can detect your fingers. So presumably you could flip someone off if you really wanted to. If you were into that sort of thing. I can think of a lot of reasons in game I might want to flip someone off. I can see that a lot of people are probably going to do that. Yep. Very, very cool. Obviously is going to rely on developer support and in terms of amazing games for the Oculus. E Valkyrie is kind of looking like the one right now. I honestly think that VR games, the one word excels is anything that has a cockpit. You got a car, you got a ship, you got a boat, anything that has like a vehicle, because that's going to be your natural experience because you're sitting in a seat. And you're going to be looking around so that basically the pilot's view is going to be here. Because if you're if you're trying to do an FPS, like how do you turn 180? The rail shooter? Yes. Right. The not rail shooter? Ooh. And the thing about the rail shooter is that they're going to have to figure out like my actually actually my first VR experience was at Pladium. Remember Pladium? Yes. OK. So. Metrotown. So so Pladium was a big arcade at a mall near here and I was playing a VR game and I was holding the gun. And I was like looking around. I was like, wow, this is the shiz. This is so cool. And I was like shooting at stuff. And then I wanted to look over there and like I realized, oh, because I naturally was going like this at first. But the crosshair was just tied to the VR headset. Right. So motion control on things like our our weapons, on things like our peripherals is going to have to be light years ahead of where we're at now. Then again, you know, these controllers could help with that. But I would prefer a peripheral. I would not try that. No matter how accurate it's going to be, if you're talking about competitive gaming, I don't think these are ever going to be. VR is never going to be a solution. Ever is a strong word. I don't think so. Oh, well, OK. Competitive. No, no, no. Competitive gaming. Yeah. A mouse and keyboard is going to be faster. Yes. Straight up faster. But you could easily have peripherals that are accurate enough for competitive VR gaming. Yes. But they have to be tied just to VR gaming. Yes. Yeah. And you know what's really funny is like PC gamers are so fond of talking about the superiority of the mouse and keyboard compared to a controller. And yet PC gamers are going to be the ones blotting on to VR and the props that go with them in spite of their inferiority. Sometimes it is about the experience, which isn't to say that I personally have a better experience with a controller in most games. I'm just saying that just because you can frag someone a little faster with a keyboard and mouse doesn't necessarily mean that's the be all and end all. Well, going back to the Xbox One, the reason why they wanted it bundled was that they have a base control mechanism. So that basically everyone that's going to get an Oculus is all going to get the Xbox One controller and little sneaky announcement that they announced was, oh, it comes with an adapter, which also was like, oh, the Xbox has an adapter now. Hey, hey, hey, hey, finally. That's finally coming, which was like, why did it take this? Why did it? Why was it not available at launch? Microsoft keeps doing this. They did it again recently. And I I missed talking about it on WAN show that week, but they were like, yeah, we haven't done a good enough job. We're recommitting to PC gamers again. I'll see if I can find it. Microsoft recommits to PC gamers. This was like fairly recent. Yeah. June the fourth. Oh, wow. Here we go. Oh, no, no. OK. See the second. This is so funny. This is so funny. Check this out, you guys. So the first link is from June the fourth and the second hit is from October 9th because oh, and the third one is February 11th, 2014. So the first three hits are like three different times they've done this. So recommitting blah, blah, blah, blah, something, something. Also be shifting its focus back upon PC gamers. We weren't fully committed as a company. And I've said that before. We made commitments. Blah, blah, blah, et cetera. One thing that's cool. This is really cool. Oculus is getting native support in Windows 10. So that was another part of the announcement. Yes. Which is certainly a better experience than the DK2 that we have downstairs collecting dust because it's a pain in the butt to use. It takes a long time to get those things set up and working. They also have the little control mechanism, little camera sensor. Oh, yeah. Yeah. So the the the head tracking and I guess presumably hand tracking sensor. It looks like one of those one of those little film canister style webcams. Yeah. The odd thing, though, it seems like it's it almost seemed like still a prototype because they've got like the camera and then it's got the cable running down the stem. And then in like with like a strap on it. You know, what's really funny, I actually have a comment about this. Let me just see if I can find let me see if I can find a picture of the of the new Oculus camera. Calling the sensor sensor. Sure. Whatever. Whatever they're whatever they're calling it. It's a camera. Cameras have sensors in them. Wow. Oculus E3. Because it just seems like it like because if it was an actual final product, I would expect, you know, the cable to come out the base and it, you know, to look more final. But it just looks oddly like they just had the camera and they're like, oh, no, the cable. Let's just round it down the stem and just. Yeah, whatever. They had a great render of it in their in their presentation that made it look like really elegant. And it's like, yeah, that's the only thing on my desk. And if it's like the world's most amazing cable that like comes out smoothly and it's not all you guys, it's going to be like another like stupid thing on my desk. And it's going to look really stupid. I actually really like the valve HTC implementation where you where you put the lighthouse in the corner of the room. Yep. And that'll work better for a lot of stuff. I'm I'm really interested to see the VR wars over the next little bit. This is huge. Posted by Boozoo on the forum. Original article here is from Polygon. I've been doing a terrible job of linking original articles today. Just been a little bit all over the place. There we go. YouTube is going to have a new gaming site. This is straight for Twitch. Yep. This is original article here is from Polygon. An obvious response to Twitch TV. You know what? OK, why don't we go through the features first? And then and then we'll talk about sort of what this what this all means. So number one is YouTube is real good at archiving video. Twitch used to let you archive pretty much whatever you wanted for as long as you wanted. And they backpedaled on that. Twitch wasn't interested in becoming like the world's largest repository of stupidly high bit rate videos that are super intensive to store and to stream to everyone. To be fair, I feel like Twitch users don't go into the archives as much as a YouTube user would. So OK, so YouTube comes at this with very different traditional strengths and they were very complimentary to each other in that way. But the funny thing is, and this was always kind of unintuitive to me until I well until it clicked like at the beginning, I didn't really understand. I was like, well, anyone who live streams on Twitch, they should have a pretty big YouTube following. All they would have to do is just upload their streams to YouTube and then they should be like pretty big. Some people are huge on Twitch and actually have very little YouTube presence because it's a very different format. I mean, Twitch is more like radio and YouTube is more like a show. And that's how it is. So they seemed very complimentary for a long time. But YouTube wants a piece of that pie because Twitch has gotten very big and very fat on the enormous amounts of money that advertisers are willing to spend on live broadcast. And that's that's something we've discovered. I didn't understand why Wanshow with its I mean, thank you very much for watching. You guys are awesome. Mere five thousand viewers compared to a YouTube video we could do that would have two hundred thousand people watch it. Live is apparently worth way more to advertisers. And I was like, OK, sure. I guess we'll make it live. Yeah. Well, no, it was live already. Yeah. I mean, Wanshow wasn't monetized for a long time, actually. Really? Yeah. Well, the original live stream didn't have any like it had YouTube monetization and I uploaded it to YouTube. Right. I wasn't making any money. But like I discovered this, I was like, why does it matter? Apparently it does. So it'll have so they're going to have a dedicated they're going to have dedicated pages per game to see live and archived content. And the commitment from YouTube is that gaming will no longer be lost in the sea of other content. So an example they gave is if you enter call, it's not going to prepopulate. Call me maybe it'll prepopulate call of duty. Like it'll be smarter about bringing you gaming content if that's what you're looking for. It's not clear exactly how live interaction will be tweaked. Hangouts broadcasts already have something that's about as feature rich as Twitch chat. At least they have said that moderation tools will be better. And this is cool. They are promising very little latency between a stream going live and you guys getting a notification as well as very little latency between the stream and the chat, which is something that. Well, Twitch tried. They had that checkbox. Yeah, they made it better. And so they made it better. But even right now, when we when I've done Hangouts live on YouTube, it's much, much faster. Yep. So, yeah, those are some those are some pretty big advantages right there. But, okay, you know what? Okay. So here can can YouTube take it back from Twitch and Amazon? Wow, that was decisive. Okay. I think Google does a really good job of making things that are really feature rich and very good for power users. But what they lack is the ability to build communities like their community building skills. If Google Plus has shown us anything, I just I just don't see YouTube taking it. But, I mean, at the same time, I really like watching live streams on YouTube because I get to pause it. Yeah, that's another one. DVR functionality will be present. I love that feature because if I can like if I'm watching a live stream, I got to do something. I got to take a call. I want to pause it. I thought you're going to say take a crap. Well, I mean, or that too. You can just take your phone with you. Then it gets all like poo particles all over it when you flash and stuff. Yeah. But I just don't see that. I don't want I want that functionality. And Twitch so far, it seemed like they had the player and they're just like, that's our player. It works. And I mean, YouTube also has down sampling for everybody. So you don't have to watch it at source. So because that's what Josh grapples with when he does his live streams. He's like, yeah, I'm going to stream it like half 720p so that everyone can see it. Yeah. And that's that's incredibly frustrating. So but with that said, it's not like Twitch doesn't have Amazon money behind it at this point. It's not like if Amazon decides to go toe to toe with Google on something, they can't at least put up a pretty good fight. So technology wise, if Amazon throws their cloud servers at the at the problem and kind of go, OK, yeah, we'll just store everything then. And we'll allow DVRing and we'll do this and we'll do that. And we'll we'll scale the video in real time for everyone. The big problem that I foresee for YouTube, because technologically, it's going to make a lot of sense. The big problem is relationship management. And this is on two fronts. Number one is with the pro gaming leagues and the pro gamers, because that is what Twitch has done a great job of. They've made themselves the e-sports network. And naturally, the e-sports network becomes the hangout for people who are into watching competitive gaming. And when you've got that competitive gaming audience, you've got the hard cores. And if you've got the hard cores, the streamers are going to want to be on that platform streaming for the hardcore viewers. Huge advantage. And number two, again, where YouTube hasn't been great at relationships in the past is with the content makers. I've only recently really gotten engaged with YouTube and started having conversations with them where they want to talk to me about the things that I that I need for the platform and stuff like that. For years, I hadn't heard anything from anyone. And YouTube is going to have to figure that out. If they want to entice the live streaming gamers versus the YouTuber gamers, they're going to have to do a good job of that. And it's it's hard bringing someone over from another platform. And I will say this from personal experience is extremely expensive because what that person has invested in terms of time and money. Into building an audience on the platform that they're on has a huge value. Like, it's not easy to get everyone to follow you. You're saying, hey, I'm going to switch over to YouTube live now. I'm going to, you know, deprecate my Twitch account. It's as if life was that easy. It's not doesn't happen. And so, I mean, OK, OK, look at the look at when we moved our videos to vessel. We didn't we didn't even switch. We just said, OK, we're going to upload to both. And vessels getting them a week early now. And I can tell you guys the conversion rate, even though it was free. And that's what this will be. It'll be free streaming on YouTube versus free streaming on Twitch. Even though it was free. It was really hard to get people to move over. And now that it's paid, it's obviously much harder. I don't really talk about it that much because I understand, you know, people can just wait and they'll just watch the content for free. And that's fine. And people have a tendency to stick where it's we've seen this from the music streaming service as well. They'll put all their eggs in one basket where their friends are at or the rest of the community. That's going to have a lot of value as a viewer as well, not just as a content creator. So you're going to want to make sure that wherever you're moving to, you know, you don't want to like move to YouTube. And there's like two of your favorite streamers there. Yep. Because you want to go to one website. You want to see what's live at right now. People want a one stop shop. Absolutely. And you know what is really funny is I hadn't thought about this until we'd already started the show. But I realized that I stream on Twitch, but my main audience is actually on YouTube. And I'm not really sure what to do because even something as simple as if we miss a WAN show or have a WAN show and not at the correctly scheduled time. Or if like Luke or I miss a WAN show, viewership falls into the toilet the following week. People are just like, oh, what do they get out of the habit? People are all about habit. Why do you guys tune into WAN show? I would Twitter blitz the crap out of this one. At Linus Tech on Twitter, why do you tune into WAN show? Is it just a habit? Is it for entertainment? Is it background noise? Do you genuinely enjoy it? Do you not even really care, but you just kind of do it anyway? Do you watch with friends? I would love to know because like I said, I didn't really understand the value of WAN show to advertisers in the same way that I'm not much of a long format video watcher. So I just kind of stumbled into this. I was like, yeah, live seems to be taking off. I should probably do a live stream. No, really. That was the entire thought process. So that was why I called it the live stream at the beginning. And I was like, oh, this is kind of like molded into something that people like. Let's brand it. And then we called it the WAN show, which everyone hated. And then now I'm sure if we tried to change it, they'd hate that too. They would be up in arms. I'm not changing it. It's called the WAN show forever until I change it. I know the reason why I watch it is I like to have long form content playing as background stuff while I'm doing other stuff. So I have a bunch of podcasts that I'll listen to. And WAN show, I necessarily don't watch the video. I'll just put it on audio and then I'll just have it while I'm doing stuff in the house or whatever. So wrong one. Twitter. Bippity boop. Twitter. Loren says, my phone reminds me, so I just tune in. Just do it because I actually love the show. I watch WAN show to tell your servers down. OK. Background noise of Friday evening and sometimes listening. Sometimes background noise, sometimes entertainment. Mostly just nothing to do on Friday. Oh, Jacob. Oh, that's sad. I tune in because you guys are enjoyable. We know. Thank you, Gorski. It's a regular tech show that has entertainment value. Simple. Yeah. For the background noise and it's a habit. I'm actually seeing a fair bit of background noise and fair bit of, well, it's my Friday night routine. So that's what I do. Watch it when I code. Huge nerd. Good to get the news. Look at that. Because we're all drunk. Are you leaving? See you tomorrow morning. RIP headphone users. I'm very sorry about that. You got a good send off. I just got bombarded again. Background noise, to be honest, which is really funny because there's a whole lot of people. So news, information, background noise became a habit because I get a notification telling me you're live. Love it. None of this adds up to me in some ways because it's like, OK, so live is somehow worth more to advertisers. Lots of you are just using it as background noise anyway. I don't get it. But there you go. So I'm kind of looking at it going, well, if I change up my routine, am I hurting myself and my viewers? I don't know. Anyway, thanks for the Twitter comments, guys. I'm almost done in the stream today, actually. Yeah. Microsoft, oh, just a couple of rapid fire topics. This was posted by Mr. Mindheads on the forum. And the original article here is from Slashdot. I don't remember the last time I was linked to Slashdot. Wow, they exist? Let's see. I'll go ahead and post this. So they updated their malware definition to include programs that hijack your search functionality in your browser without you explicitly telling them to. So this would actually classify the Ask toolbar as malware in most cases. That is hilarious and should have happened 10 years ago. Thank you, Microsoft, for treating that stuff like the garbage that it is. Appreciate that. Also, this is cool. So original article here is from Hexis. These are pretty cool. These are freaking Smurf. So, yeah, stay tuned for that. Everyone's like RIP headphones. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Blame Burkle. Why did I? Wait, what? Oh, sorry, sorry, sorry. Here it is. All right. So Samsung unveils its first mirror and transparent OLED displays. So transparent is a pretty strong word. They've achieved 40% light transmission. That's enough, though. That's translucent. Oh, well, yes. Well, well, okay. You can clearly see the image on the other side. The pixels are off. Yeah, it's not scattering anything. So anyway, so they're saying that this is, I think they're saying four times what anyone else has done. But LG showed off 30% transparency like earlier this year or something like that. But with a much smaller low res panel. And LG was projecting 40% in 2017. So looks like Samsung's doing okay. So can I have these in my car? Okay. So that's one proposed sort of use for them. Another one is things like virtual fitting rooms for the mirrors. So the mirror, I think, is 75% reflectance. Not too shabby. I mean, just to be just so you guys know, 75% doesn't actually sound that reflective. But a mirror that you go buy at like the store is not going to be actually as reflective as you might think. You have to get like pretty super special mirrors for things like if you don't have enough. This was more of a concern in the old days before short throw projectors. But people with home theater systems would have to rear fire their projector, have like a super expensive amazing balls mirror, and then have it reflect back forward in order to get the picture big enough. A standard commodity mirror is not that reflective. And if you mount it inside a wall or right up against the wall, you're not going to get super duper crazy reflective. Yeah, let me just see if I can find why a mirror is made of glass, something, something, something. Yeah, I can't find it. But I remember being floored that this mirror was like hundreds and hundreds of dollars that one of my coworkers bought at the time for his projector. Early adopter tax. Yeah. All right. Well, I don't know. I guess that's about it. Thanks to you guys for participating. Thanks to Chris for joining us in Luke's stead today. Thanks, guys, for having me. And I guess that's it. That's all. We'll see you guys again next week. Same bat time, same bat channel for now. Bye, guys. Oh, right. I can roll the outro. Oh.
