" Good Friday buoyed Friday morning. Keeping an island in the morning world it is afternoon and it depends on where you -- you like this on a video podcasts are heroes Clayton Morris this is your big -- hour this Friday we're going to be -- of the WW DC wrap up plus crossing to talk about some of the things. The digital transition today. We're gonna duel on boxing -- a giant laptop that I have here is the heaviest biggest laptop. I think I don't know the laptop -- four laps to use -- for an aces for a show you this new VN nine series just came out. This week. And here's a preview it's just me. Let's talk about that show you this coming up in just a minute first of all we interview introduce our guest this afternoon. A Sasha Seagate is the lead and most mobile phones for PC mag dot com he is sitting to my right Sasha are welcome back as always thanks. At the council and he is -- CEO founder Squarespace dot com which is a fully hosted completely managed environment. For all your blogging need your website needs go check out Squarespace dot com I could not speak highly of these guys you guys do great job."

" That's Cia that founder what is I want what what's the difference that it depends on the company I think appears there's a lot of sympathy. This may -- an -- okay so so dean would be CEO yet -- see your founder -- was better with static. Look. At that game it we have got. Jobs you know -- being so I'm excited lot of strategy development and day out there making connections relationships and and we we."

" We all do a lot of small companies as well that doesn't mean it like you backed off and he's running the company really go water skiing on a pilot some. Every day -- night. You guys were very -- and hostages and one and only Roberts called live from is. Bunker in that hey -- at Robert work where you live where you right now and Davis 45% -- get. Of course author blogger Internet guru you know last time people were wondering during our -- Robert what do they call you what was your title. And still lives are usually Scoble on that title. I I got picked that title and college kept updating it based computers Salinas apple Macintosh beta isn't that. People say -- Scoble it's that commitment that. So you that you're here on Big Dig two because last night with the last night around the better what did you guys launch building 43 dot com. Yeah 6 o'clock Pacific time -- reality party at the tech princes opposites. A lot of yet piece and step there was a lot of fun. So what I'm a little bit slow this morning and still drink in my copy games what Carlson tell us about building 43 that was on there for a couple hours this morning playing around him interviewed mark Zuckerberg talking about the future of the web future of what FaceBook is doing. And moving just from a social web site itself into more of a business integration model right."

" Yeah well we're here we're trying to help -- small businesses get into the modern world Clinton. They -- what I got a piece -- that side or small -- manufacturers website or even like toyota.com. They most of the web sites and molecular design in 1990 puller or at least using technology that was available then editor in their own. Just starting to understand what FaceBook is her. How to build a good mobile site or what is real time web means for businesses. And then there. Where they're not using in many of these new technologies must businesses don't use even YouTube that's been up five or six years ourselves. I'm trying to get more more businesses to use the modern tools and so we're gonna. -- doing both interviews like what you saw today as well as how to videos. You know I think we actually have a video without Caitlin who runs the the pages team it pays for it and she she -- sun sports stars and celebrities get on a pace but I can she gives us a lot of good tips about how to build a great -- but pitch."

" Cool well Robert also two weeks from now have Gary Vaynerchuk here and show him talking about social media and the way in which he's course you know. Been able to really integrate it. Skyrocket his business multimillion dollar business because of what he's been able to do social media so maybe two weeks from now we'll get you want -- here free get your calendar free we'll have you guys team up we'll talk about the -- two weeks."

" I I let Gary if you ever get to go wine tasting -- the guy's head athletic unbelievable experience things he's -- vitality he said our I let's -- you how you can email us here's the throughout the email there on the screens that you're at foxnews.com any questions you have were mostly going to be focusing on WW BC. We're not all apple fan -- here so we're going to be going through some of the -- years -- would solve this week out of apple. We're also and you can also Twitter and -- more on twitters and in -- now and now we'll get gone. All right. Let's start off with what we saw here was the -- that they wrote ruled out right beginning at WW DC to kick it off this week. Little Mac versus PC fine here's how the event kicked off this money --"

" Hello I'm a PC and welcome to the 2009 worldwide developers conference. I wanted to be the first to wish all of you make great conference filled with incredible innovations -- for friends and I I and get better let me think again sorry to eighteen. Hello I'm a PC welcome to the 2009 worldwide developers conference I mean the first to wish you all from a week. With some innovation but not too much crap like that. 83. Okay coming out party sold over a million iPhone apps. -- that's -- mean iPod touch is a runaway success may be just and slowed down and -- Maybe could put a few ideas smiling cracking museums -- easy sign things why I hope you're thinking of some great ideas because I'm thinking of great ideas and he'd prefer. This. Plant. And then -- doing more and suns get out. It's sixteen. Hello my Mac and what PCs can say is have a great."

" Two weeks. But -- listen to a lot of applause that Phil -- took the stage and out I have to mention our talk box viewers this afternoon and I say hi this area in the large screen over there eight Sierra. -- for us if we -- people watching out there in the world so thanks for Clinton and our partners. There are so big question was whether or not social it was going to be able to come out on stage and knock a home run now comes right -- talking about Mac books."

" Yeah well he he's sort of bags to pull this whole team out where one guy wasn't on stage for particularly long length of time yeah I got the feeling there were saying sort of in the post Steve Jobs world apple is apple as a team show -- not really has stepped run by one man anymore. But yet they have some -- for everybody that new Mac books they had new Mac the last thing at. New iPhone software for the existing iphones -- new iPhone they were really pulling out everything they could accept an apple T day."

" Yeah I was surprised by that we saw some new MacBook fifteen inch iMac and MacBook pro fifteen inch some specs are pretty cool. These things work that I can armpits because I just bought. So I have one of the new -- ones but that's what always happens and a fifteen inch MacBook pro it's like the seventy's counterpart. It's got they're really sweet display 500 gigabytes. But there was a big price drop -- respect for the price drops on public 300 dollars 1699 starts that. I don't -- folate a B 2499. For some of the similar specs of the 1999. Version."

" That always that's direct response that apple offers peace at the Microsoft but -- just. You know -- them on the press I don't think so because if you look at the new if you look at the new MacBook pros and they also announced a thirteen and and that's the one -- we -- PC -- really jazzed about you as beautiful thirteen -- aluminum in a body MacBook pro. They're still not doing -- they they made it clear they're not announcing any laptop split 1200 dollars and so they are really going strongly for this scene oh. 1200 to 2000 dollar laptop space but they don't want to play on price they definitely don't want to play in the netbook."

" Well -- Robert would you think about these new fifteen inch in the news thirteen and Mac would take a look at some video right now the new -- body. Yeah I despite an 815 inch -- couple months because -- the let you bet -- be. Pretty exciting it is for a lot of people like they've backward and apple -- it's happening to buy one and it once birdies who's graduating from high schools. And going to college so it -- again it's a good. I think it's good to come down. I agree that the netbook is a really attractive and going to get a lot more attractive when windows seven comes out -- I think that if there was one machine that apple did was to take potshots at that windows seven I think. That are -- shooting at something that is a lot stronger than -- its Vista administer the shots actually landed. With with -- windows seven -- gonna really find it troubling ability to compete because I'm running windows seven on my MacBook and yes. I I stay and win a set and a lot longer than I ever did with Vista and this is that why you get there's thousands butler got."

" You I was at a seven uses so she does talk -- witness -- quite a lot of or PC -- is that we're hearing Scoble is using. Windows seven on a MacBook everybody everybody uses windows seven around our offices loves it a lot of people bunch of people use and use it on Mac books I mean. Mac books I have a MacBook pro at work I use it with Vista and with Mac LS a MacBook pro with the camp is a great windows machine and -- Yeah yeah yeah I mean I can I can -- to get my hands on to actually run on some netbooks and tried out because I've been hearing about even just a constant small smaller netbooks. No crashes -- avoiding costly here. He was running it on netbooks no crashes at all and no problems and he's been trying to get it to crash. Yeah eyewitness evidence so much what this initiative I know what does that tell you to crash although it you know there was a moment I think we have candidates are which -- notable few things here but there was a moment where. They did. Have a nice little slap at. You know it windows and windows seven and even talking exactly about the school is just talking about here it is let's play this down on this."

" Okay it."

" Okay going to know what one thing."

" It surprised me arrogantly is it would take a flat at windows seven. But if you watched their presentation. When -- put up slides about mobile operating systems. They didn't even list Windows Mobile and I thought that was the most. It's insult they would have slides about the iphone's competitors you know the Humphrey and write whatever --"

" But it was -- Windows Mobile didn't even exist it was music."

" Yeah I was not although I was surprised by anatomy may be getting their digs in lately and it seems like it's got a little bit more elevated variances especially during his keynote it seemed like you really get -- decent windows. It sat eighteenth tee and a US this coming. It's. They're frustrated. I question here that we can answer now Bruce Wilson photo rights on Twitter -- are you using the new palm phone so when you switch back to the new iPhone next week. And I saw -- you hold up your palm there what do you think of."

" There. I like it better it's not going to get me to switch up yet found I think what. What upon really did was. Hit the market that either hates eighteen key. Or hates apple or needs that keyboard. And if you're and one of those three camps the pump create the perfect advice -- it's it's actually a really nice devices actually. It was designed by a lot of guys who left apple right. Two go to the pollen and the palm palm pre device that I I still I still like my elder and it."

" Yeah I mean I'm really impressed with it -- to answer -- question no I'm not -- switch back in fact I think they're -- and I've been really impressed with that these three G iPhone and I'm gonna you know I'm very -- looking forward to the new three -- yes but I don't think -- intends to gets -- to -- iPhone users to switch over I think they think there are -- hundreds of millions of people in this country who don't already use an iPhone. That they have a market and I think that's true which is or do."

" Going to be attractive to a lot of people because it's small you could see right you know. Yeah this is the fun and at the pump. It's shorter it's your pocket -- it feels smooth there it feels more like a regular phone and that's attracted a lot of people remember it you know. -- out of a thousand people only have fifteen there are you know really care about the web so far it happen. That's why Apple's done great well it pushing the market over the pond there certainly is a reaction chapel. But I think there's still a huge market out there that have even considered. Web based on yet and it's very good because it's using the same web browser to go inside stunts and you build a website. That -- on the punk preacher were perfectly I might. Which means. You know guys like me who can only afford it you know hire one developer can -- build a lot more mobile site from people."

" Yeah that's important news for the multiple android I think -- that even the FD candidate and that platform underlining the wet kipper what can pop on the Robert mentions he's just. A brilliant touch him marry those two things has written on the iPhone you know you're used to doing web development job to script stuff like that. Objective -- have the right for the iPhone as a whole other east race but to bring those together and kind of recognize future like our wet it's really the -- we'll just make one thing and you no matter -- are used to that is a massive win I I think you know that's what we saw a lot of people jump and I think about majority a lot of Mac developers -- Nokia happiness that's. Base you know was this is strange other long."

" I'll send you some -- it would work is something else it's kind of weird -- we think and you you've been developing -- which you guys I don't know if you want to say when it's you can be rolled out for Squarespace dot -- soon. I've been waiting for this act by my -- it's gonna check on a regular basis and that is not be blowing smoke up anyone but I really am excited about the gap. And I get a chance to see if we can't show it here we have a beta version obviously you've been running."

" Yep we've -- intently for a couple months your experience been developing for. -- We've got I haven't done any development directly myself it's taken a little longer than I expected I mean. Again let's just imagine well two years ago where we wouldn't even dress making it happen like this developer. A Blackberry OS or something like that it would have been a total this. Not even worth my time and I think that with. With the with the I think development platform it shorten a lot you know to a couple months development cycle I think you can actually get -- faster on things -- when -- jobs at the little -- done so frustrated that -- hasn't put that STK out full yet for the I mean yes it yet yeah I've I've I've really want to see what people can do with that now wondering."

" Com what's holding you -- yeah I talked a while -- producing -- one thing he mean that one overwhelming thing he thinks obviously he's been holding the palm back he's the app store will get eighteen you have to factor absolutely out of that we don't have that slapping video. Of I forget who was onstage at the time I think that was her concert -- going after -- windows seven take a look at this from the keynote."

" Precedent. This stuff has failed to -- and we've mentioned computer use those why businesses that sounded about right. Indeed Microsoft has done quite a big hole for themselves -- Vista. And that is that trying to get out of it we've we've just happen. But under -- when the seven you have to send them all technologies. DL else. The registries. This this fragmentation. No end user should never have to know about that. The user account control. -- There's patriotism system that prevents your piece you for being infested. The cost of tons of photos. And then we just haven't to address -- problem even more complexity from -- and user. So that's really the seventh saying -- technology. As this stuff fundamentally you've just -- version of this stuff."

" So big slap they're basically saying that windows seven is just like Windows Vista taking -- time up -- keynote with regard to our keynote talk about this. They're threatened. It's it's it's really it's really surprising I mean apple is Apple's super confident company they feel that everything they do is the best. But they clearly feel that windows seven is at least enough of a threat to mention. Yeah at least that -- of a threat to mention Robert do you think though we saw the announcement of course of snow leopard that was one of the big announcements. And I think it kind of blew everyone away -- affect -- just -- price kettle of the price thing here let's just play the price and we'll come back we'll talk about this Robert."

" Sure."

" And smell it probably would be your fault or Intel. Macintoshes. Past and present. So -- should -- price Snowden called. We've Bryce. That called. A 129. Dollars. And we won't. All that we'll do those -- regret who's -- called because not all of these but that that problem. And so when you called pricing its medical. The incredible price."

" Code 29 dollars and I think that was one of the biggest applause lines in the whole thing 29 bucks. I mean it's art you know if it decides to point you Robert do you think that Apple's threatened by windows going up 29 dollars."

" It's you know it's. It's releasing that they haven't react to an open thing because when I'm traveling now I'm seeing a lot more netbooks are -- college kids are really interested in Canada but -- years. You know in some cases are -- fifty dollars to buy it somewhat decent that but you know. I'm I'd like the aces models which are -- 100 dollars and that those are very very cute. Mobile computers and I we're gonna show off pieces that are new and nine. PCs in the CHL especially -- one we're running windows seven on that. That's got us here apple. Yeah. Don't know about price -- I think they just want wanted to take advantage. Built up memory that we we know that we pay a hundred something dollars every time they come up with -- race. Fairly minor upgrade and so I think that's -- from it's like oh Apple's not stepping back again right there actually track trying to. Play ball with a little -- this is something cheap coming from Apple's basement price of quicktime to go --"

" An interesting take on the -- and a great deal when you look it would snow leopard is it feels like a point relief for developments in the LS that it does relate. You know properties -- new and user features and thinking note that right if it's not the same upgrade at Atlanta like tiger to leopard it. Not enough all right so click -- Seattle 64 bit I mean. I'm sure a normal person -- going to jump on that unix it would like acting like well these speed things they're gonna go. Any -- also point 22 Robert's point. It's weird it was so program to pay for the OS upgrades but the iPhone three point oh -- contains millions like not millions but you know many many many over a 10000 new features and it's free and it's visible at the well it seems that it's green it's well you."

" Well it's not free come on it's not gonna get by Margaret buying an easy way to -- you 400 dollars get Thanksgiving runs it runs on the old it was an original lightning in the area of Virginia you're okay -- pretty happy pity to apple and AT&T right that's why I got I've spent just not my -- on more than a bounce."

" That's the same the real comparison would be comparing it to be iPod touch upgrade for every point at which is 995. Of the iPod touch -- nothing anything per month there's no latency involved and they're charging 995 for this massive -- upgrade C got to say okay. Ten dollars on this platform why is it a 129 dollars on the spot."

" Right that's a good question and I operatives out on Twitter into our you know and then -- really care about snow leopard -- are you plan on upgrading because I'm curious about. It to Japanese point. There really aren't any visible differences but there are so many speed differences you talked about -- Robert that you wanted to address opens CL because. For a you know we try to do the easy button here trying to get to techie but I think this is a really important point immediate future of computing tell us about open CL -- think about it certainly going to be left."

" I was just reading up on -- I'm not real expert on the -- have it but it if I remember right it was say. I open developer platform or crappy episode -- you're gonna see a lot more consistency that on drivers and and games but I might be wrong and I can't really has Hillary done that."

" Yeah I -- open field with -- way for developers at times the processing power of the graphics -- yeah authority across California which isn't one right -- CL is computing on the seat yeah right exactly it's opening you know that we got this processes in your computer when -- word whatever you're you're -- and -- insofar -- you're clicking -- you're super power computers and our eyes to see if you sit -- that but again. Why are we charging. Users to upgrade. This API things we like when Microsoft which is silverlight it's free when when -- movie which is why it's free if you've got an eight you need adoption for. I think charging points today that it comes."

" Actors are -- to an idiot maybe there's something tied to you know with a win would have to charge the iPod touch upgrade you know 995 and it -- come back to that well -- If Dixon classic games that comes up or then I think people pay a few bucks to get that. I I just can't I can't see that there's going to be a dramatic -- class of applications. Out -- I think it just saves a lot of game developers. Some some headache but. I don't see I don't see it and I created the I think this is there's one place where this is delivered for free but we."

" The little understood technology that I was netcast about -- actually Grand Central dispatch. Because that's going to make a lot of things much faster very quickly and it's something that operating systems have needed for years. Yeah that the principle of this package is. OS level threat management from multi core processors. -- making it -- so finally the application developers don't need to worry about how many -- your processor has added that distributing. Work properly the LS handles all of it tonight can dump whatever application went on to this scene it'll just divvied up amongst all the -- I think it's really yeah that's the only -- this is really hard for but it means multi threaded programming. It's always very very tricky through the bucks to adopt new. -- thinking about built into the core application layer."

" It seemed like it was very developer friendly Kevin there's a piece of video that I pulled that I wanted to I want to show because. -- awful and ask you know when you upgraded to a Mac you know your go wherever I still use windows FISA -- But. You know what is -- about. The Mac experience that's different from when you're using windows PC and there was one moment where -- they are constantly giving was up on stage. -- showed off. Some of the snow leopard features and specifically doc -- expose it and it was a little bit of a demo with exactly how this worked I want you to just watch. -- sort of seamless it is to do is drag something from somewhere where you want it. Move it down and then be able to send this email or just move from photo right into where you think you want it so what. This is easiest way for me to ever answer that question by showing -- this demo take a look at this X."

" Is it also makes it easier than ever remove content across windows even if some of the windows aren't visible so let's say want to go back that finder window and get a video to drop. I'd drop inside this email message. I can just dock exposing to the finder. Find the image I'm looking for. Drag it over to mail mail springs and expose today I select the window and looking for. And drop it right. Very --"

" Okay that's disagree example I -- I can't tell you how many times I use something like that that. You know I mean I think we can all relate to that Robert I mean -- is that you were you work at Microsoft -- so we see -- like that do you see yourself all right. Microsoft would do something like this why can't you guys do something like this. It's it's tough because that they outlook."

" A lot of a less pieces are crusty and it and there's a lot of -- that hasn't gotten testimony in a while. Correct and when you want to build a feature like this -- in windows you really need to go NN and terra pieces of code and and a rewrite it. That's something that. Takes a big engineering effort. Yeah I was -- addicted. Let -- Roberts throughout history well."

" I mean it. You did -- now it is just two companies that's what's different this thing Microsoft is so concerned with legacy. You know they actually had code in I think windows. Maybe you 95 dealt with like if you had things in Salt Lake and who needed the upgrade the operating system. Look at -- city and the -- of existence that -- change the way it works just for this -- they would fix all of those problems with Apple dumps it. -- Oh you got -- from three years ago where they're not upgrading right now that we think it you have to open and go forward that -- that that is that. Legacy issues and really create when it's with a lot apple -- the tonight."

" Throwing her moment in your person I think we're I think we're all I considered start that. You know new Star Trek movie JJ Abrams this is exact same thing perhaps and correct me if I'm wrong stuff you but that JJ was going back to start -- you know what. We're so. The storyline has been becomes such a burden for story writers now. I mean throughout the leg you know next generation of voyager all edition of the couldn't write any new episodes because it really so I do this I can't think back in 1960 does this screw me up somehow from back then. An apple you're right just throws everything."

" Except what what did you Abrams did it to be complete -- is he is. -- Appleton Mac analyst and putting -- classic in the sand box in the operating system. That he said okay we're we're not going to totally reject -- history but we're gonna put it in a little sand boxes that store Annenberg that you all are good work outside the box -- and -- About that. Which is actually my secrets this. It's Wheeler. Where if you put a certain pattern and it's just in it explores seven -- both houses in once that's. Not out. This -- certainly in the ear people like. On upgrades to break it but they're so used to happening target right now does this. -- yet."

" to say I want to make sure we talked about. Which is apple insulting to him so let's go to the videotape because this was huge moment and it that you're there was twice it happened twice at. I was lied one time I was blown away by it. And I don't think I've ever seen apple do something like this before but AT&T has become the butt of so many jokes in in this community is one of the reasons why people will not get an iPhone is because of reality TNT. Take a look at just the end of best moment. From Scott forestall."

" Now speaking of messages. The big news here is and I am ass. This allowed him to send and receive photos. Contacts. And audio files and locations all in real time over the cell network. And we've taken all of that support. And put in the same map but also supports text messaging. So one half. The Centex and multi media. Now -- requires carrier support as well. 29 of our carrier partners in 76 countries around the world will support MMS. At the launch of iPhone OS 30. In the United States. Eighteen team will be ready to support MS later this summer."

" And he goes right on to explain spotlight. The end of the summer OK moving on really fast eighteen Tina supporting and a -- This was a huge moment and the fact they called -- out about it on stage. You know. -- had repercussions across its aqueduct and I've talked to when executives from from making you said. Absolutely we're going to have on the -- we're just not upgrading our network -- operating systems but I want to be very clear it's not the three G network. It's not three -- Hibbert it's a separate system he was in fact we think about this --"

" It's the billing system actually the reason. Apple did it and again later at W immediacy with their tendering talking about Heather -- same problem and the problem for me TNT what I've heard from insiders is it's just the billing system AT and t.'s billing system is so complicated and crusty. That it's going to take them months to implement the appropriate plans to support this coming up -- it's difficult. Because AT&T is made up of -- jigsaw puzzle of the thirteen companies that they've acquired in the past five years a cup and the air all incompatible billing systems etc. et cetera etc. But what shocked me is that I have never seen a hardware manufacturers sandbag a wireless carrier like this before."

" Normally they are very polite to their carrier partners Sina I show them deference they say positive things about them I've never heard this kind of passive aggressiveness about a carrier partner before you would you --"

" and at that that this clearly going crazy is that there so innovative and they're stuck with its partner. So it's slow it's like the small -- crazy that goes crazy but not. Yeah that they they have no option you know that there are caught that and it's a shame that eighteenth he doesn't take this the opportunity if you think you know life. Please let's put this thing. Apple let's let -- again let's throw up some network it's so fast and so creek and where is your now whereby -- and it'll be like applauding eighteenth but the."

" Yeah it. I travel a lot -- in Virginia last weekend and marched in DC I'm gonna be a New York actually. Eighteen she just needs to get still need to build out its three G infrastructure. I don't have three year in my. It's right. And -- ten miles and welcome Alex expects certain center of the world. I don't have three G here you about it happening to him."

" False positive -- it -- the article this week about the number the percentage of people not even be ready for. You know this -- I mean it was so. We're gonna talk about people who are not even really. Using the full capability of three G eighteen team perhaps and then fourteen that's it for that's enough five years from now it seems like right means getting only across the country of robust serve."

" Is that yes that that first goal the first full fourteen build out will probably be Verizon with Chad they'll be completed 33. So that's just starting to roll out but. Yeah I mean AT&T is kind of --"

" Behind Verizon on the network thing let's."

" Talk about cost of ownership with this Robert what do you think of -- is this hole is its gonna really hold people back one -- and -- the new three G yes. Not the apple fans in my in my people lot of TV a lot of teenagers that my son. Now if you want to review it in her next goal that has I -- Analog teenagers are looking at other devices that happened back Camelot let's costs because now. Picasso -- lot of money to -- and I kind of consul automatic data plan and our front step and a -- for a high school student that's touchy now aren't. Muslims can subsidize the you and your maniacal laugh. Besides the -- he gets and that is the the fifth but the."

" Lesson for all of us let's talk about three point oh software if you talk about all the features and the reason we're getting of Korea three G although probably disagrees with you hope cost. I involvement yes in fact you are getting appropriate -- three -- in an original first generation iPhone. That comes out but there's over a hundred new features and air corps general and finally for cut copy and paste active it looks like a pretty elegant application that finally. And it's gonna work across all apps so -- wondering you know that's that's pretty porn can she can undo it."

" I think sync it back to the hot thing to sing it at -- party last night several people have switched to it in attacked him influence or or innovator in a corner press. People switch android because of the polity. Issue so it. That's the costs that matters it. You know do your call keep dropping when you're driving an eighteen TV really is getting bad in Silicon Valley at least. And so there is a lot of influence are based on the quality of the network. And that's it that's hot that's more important to me -- the dollars that you know. A hundred bucks in my most most working people that it's not that big -- deal you know pure laid out some big deal that. Most people have a job that's not that big -- deal. Yet they -- T issued and that's really slamming him and that's leading a hole in the market rather players."

" your rights and we are talking about you know just apple you know getting rid of get rid of things and not even the starting from scratch it was this hello I'm an old G four with a list can point to and I'm frustrated that I can upgrade to Adobe flash and the strategy room on line right now. To great computer that become a nice looking paper weight. You know -- say something that's on Apple's that's -- Yeah that's Adobe because the G -- actually you can they're still doing they're still doing updates for G."

" Wars yet you could take it before up to ten point five and then it'll support to pretty much any parents are out there the problem is trying tentative yes there's a -- management's expectations and -- race. OS that is would do it just throw this out that they thought through this that I would obviously an expiration date. You just let look it's going to do that five year OK in -- side is gonna turn."

" When it Hannity well again you know now I've -- that won't fly. The that's my parents I do my son wishes it -- dealer I imagine -- my son tragedy that we would get DOJ lawsuit this page has been an. What about that but then they don't think that that can't do it but can't with a -- computed it yeah it is brick by."

" Policy what else do we like in the -- Sasha what did you like as a as a phone analyst it was in the three point oh software."

" Will lead one thing I liked in what they really liked in the 3-D yes. With a three point software. Is. Major camera improvements. I've always felt that the camera is one of the weakest parts of the -- captain Lucas was a two megapixel camera and not even a very good one auto focus low light it was terrible what -- everything. Letters yeah it was a really impressed overexposed. And so what -- did what they've done with a three TS is they've really ramp up the camera and I don't know how good it is until like testing next week right but supposedly it's got auto focus -- auto macro it's. Sharper that it. Pixels don't really matters much has been good optical sharpness and it got video record."

" Yeah yeah video recording is a big deal I'm specifically in three point oh -- what were you impressed with is a developer and certainly looking at this for an iPhone after you guys are working on."

" You know I I think about unity that they I was waiting for with the background apps via U -- they're affixed with the push notification. But it definitely a year ago definitely going to coverage I think it would be."

" See because what Robert we know that the push notification isn't really. It's not running background processes but it's connecting to Apple's own weird -- network that sends you like little updates and they're pinging you. And admitted they admitted that they screwed up and they weren't ready for a bit and realize the volume two which they would have to make this. What you think about this push notification that the trio."

" I like it but it's funny maternal line that's possibly -- last longer yeah that gives it and it really doesn't bother me that I united. I'm not -- heavy Blackberry style user where I want beyond email to pop up on my screen of them walking around eyes look I -- when. Time to answer an on line just. Hit a button repressed -- and answer it this thing is it's not that big a feature for me personally."

" Edification is really about one application and it's about I. Right and it's about the fact that because the iphone's design it is -- useless device for us and excellence and messaging since it was created and basically that whole structure exists to solve the I -- problem right because I'm not -- on FaceBook. You just hear my FaceBook app. In chat. On -- doing other things that you know and if someone wants to -- opinion something on FaceBook on jump over it seems and we just like call out the most ridiculous thing that's better placement is of course text messaging right the fact that you're charged. For text messaging me. That played out kill at the rally killer liked the cut in front of its text messaging is -- the biggest scam yeah."

" You know getting here from recanted Rick Simpson says -- eighteenth he is not very far behind Verizon they both will be trailing though LT networks as early as next you're -- probably yell and LTE is -- knowledge ready for. You know we may get healthy when they haven't certain pockets but no one's ready for so we're also like what five years away from LT ball."

" I think I've I've looked at both of the year announced -- plans extensively and -- is about six months -- drives. -- now recognize their -- that's on the record that. -- call it it's called. Him. So that's going on but I fifty -- com. You know isn't -- the school is a dead zone a block away from here yet count on everybody. This is my -- thirty rock he's right by Rockefeller Center there is -- dead zone. How in the world does that happen that pop I don't know."

" And they compare -- like AT&T -- sprint and Verizon in terms. That kind of quality is you connect it was a big topic. My party people are really complaining about it's not just such an -- it's going up."

" Yeah by the -- their three. There are three major independent nationwide surveys involving tens of thousands of people. We run one of them it's called the service and reliability survey. There's JD power equipment people are there's another one called the University of Michigan American consumers aspect acts and on every single one of them what's funny -- partners that we think I'll. But Verizon is way ahead of everybody else in terms of in terms of network quality and then there's mobile. And then it's kind of AT&T sprint fighting for. You can TiVo. And I mean it's the -- mobile T -- strategy -- really interesting because they built out relatively small areas but it's accurate yet mobile is all about inner cities and you'll have great coverage in the inner city and and they won't -- the countries cut -- which is which. It because it. -- they're getting your expectations for -- expectations for its. Act. It would make -- call but I can't make that call. That that you know idea but I -- in the -- country and it's -- there was -- you're. Right you're."

" In the center of university can't make a phone call Bruce Wilson lake Oswego Oregon writes is that he'll Seymour Hoffman you're talking you know that Robert Scoble. If Africa after that you about a -- by the way. Yeah."

" I want to show you the one thing we got a lot of -- second only to I think the 29 dollar pricing for snow leopard was a moment cabin with the iPhone I'm sorry. The find my iPhone demo where if you lose your phone it's built in the mobile me got a lot of people applauding if it was a great feature take a look at this."

" This next. Features a great one. Upon my body is really a service. Which is available only to Mobil need customers on iPhone OS 30. If you lose from this place your phone. You can log -- to mold the on any web browser and we'll show you on a map where your opponents. So it might show you that you left at the restaurant from last night well. It's easy you can send a message. You send a message to your home phone. And how to play yes."

" Sound plays in -- are not feel left didn't so I -- known."

" Three I mean and we talked about this with the developers who took it out of developers can that remote -- so if you like -- comparable you'd expect that you get you can delete it. Remotely Red -- is pretty cool yeah this this."

" Gotta be my first thing -- sat out because -- my son threw away one of our eye on the meeting notice it. I'm up and it costs us 500 bucks to get that it it's well worth it to spend the money to get -- them the time you. -- I -- that I've left icons in taxi cabs yeah and I am. You know luckily I got them back. At the time but it's it's expensive and keep in mind you it's an iPhone if you spent 200 bucks on -- it's subsidized. So to replace it you have to pay bit un subsidized price which is the -- and dollars and so it's really expensive when you leave it up on."

" Somewhere yeah that's dramatic that it's the little 500 dollars and cab driving around this city -- following its -- They had hit yeah you've been like on an African safari is ultimately stuck in -- yeah an elephant something. And of course the big announcement that was the iPhone three GF which was the hardware -- that quick announcement and the last piece of video here this was the big -- we are waiting for Phil Schiller comes back on stage lot of people wondering whether or not Steve Jobs to roll up there to get this outlast the hardware. Here is --"

" To the iPhone three G. Has been great. That's why I'm really excited to tell you vote an entirely new version of the iPhone three GS. Now that yes. Since the speed. Is this is the most powerful fastest iPhone we've ever -- the same great design for the iPhone three G that we just launched last summer what's inside. It's entirely new. This is a really fast life. Everything you do all day long to find incredible speed -- for example. Something as simple as watching -- messaging application two point one times faster. Loading."

" That area so asked stands for speed of course they really are pushing that are pushing across snow leopard as well I mean it when you get your hands on this need to start benchmarking this we're gonna really seeded -- you know really increased battery life. Really fast loading safari JavaScript lot of fast things going on as the only thing. Well first I was -- asked that for Sasha excellence -- adequate sorry about that."

" Yeah let yet what what's interesting is that all the changes in the three yes except maybe the except maybe the camera are sort of inside there and I haven't heard a lot of people complaining about the speed of their iPhone applications. But I think what this is going to do with this is going to enable application developers to create a new generation of applications where they're not worried about developing for a particular limited Steelers like it'll it'll really -- the developers threat that that's well. I'm a little festive it's a little when you look just meaningless text messaging like. Currently in the three G you're not currently right so I was I -- upgrades via its greatest."

" And it was interesting it really didn't they didn't change the design at all they've got a -- did you pack here which I use -- gonna -- I'm sure these guys are loving. That they don't have to worry about redesigning you know some of the third party stuff that the stuff."

" Implicated -- crying now they can't make everywhere upgrade it down without -- know you can like it through his pal Robert what would you think about the new three G yes. I I spot on the front yard Mohammed they've ordered an appointment. The -- time next Friday expressed."

" And it's. I like speed way. You know I want camera -- that I use a lot of video features in fact I'm working with quick and -- Which are shipping new features for on. New video streaming features they are you have video streaming if you jailbreak your -- Your current phone but it it really isn't -- quality and speed wasn't there to really and due to compression and quality properly yet so I'm I'm looking forward to see. How that works and yet. -- a lot of my friends are using iphones went back quick on them that it even I've -- during interviews media day with a platinum and I'm with I'm looking forward to seeing a better quality now it's terrible quick on the iPhone right now it's not going to the one thing that keeps me in the Nokia campus and I Nokia N 97 coming out. And it does widescreen video and quick -- it's shown me widescreen video right now and then seven. It's just sad that I -- Nokia just doesn't get a I'll let you -- you -- upon an android and I don't all have great web browsers out there really -- to useless Twitter and friendfeed and FaceBook. No kid. -- I'll reserve judgment. And when I guess that I played with some of the prototypes and just be way behind on the web browser. Developed."

" The seated next week -- were organized and you know hopefully I'll get an iPhone next week news but to show you hero -- and he GT. We're going to have about Paul note from and yet here next week and and rate for non Mac analyst Ken. You brought going to be chat about the iPhone have a hands on that next week so hopefully -- heard different people shipping of what's to come out on the nineteenth which again Friday. And you receive it on the nineteenth yet been reporting that they're going to get it like on the point where I hope I'm not one of those people. That may be an issue with that shipping companies -- where how much time it takes an -- to get something Apple's can center to you. Talk box let's go to can get a full screen that Belfast a want to see how many people buy a thumbs up whether or not going to get the new. Three G -- if anyway give me -- thumbs up if you are. On top box element."

" I don't know we got Sierra now they'll want to anybody else get the three G and there."

" Yeah I gotta get to right so 50%. And -- and Qaeda network -- very yeah. It is all right I'll I do want to talk about here that was pretty much it that was the bigger big announcement those with a big increases we didn't see Steve Jobs though. Out of surprised by I thought maybe cannot -- the hardware announcement but we're hearing it'll be back in June so the big question though. With its new MacBook because it down the MacBook thirteen inch. So it's in and out MacBook pro got -- the Mac will mean for that line for the thirteen and wondered one wonders now if that opens up the door for. A new media had and whether or not we'll see in another month or so with Steve Jobs coming back to the stage for netbooks slash media -- from apple."

" I don't think it'll be a month I think it'll be longer than that I think they're working on immediate pad. But I think they've decided that they need some more time. And apple you know apple -- will release no product before they decide it's absolutely ready the iPhone took years to develop. Yeah so I wouldn't be surprised to see media patent 2010. That be very surprised to see one in 2009 and I'd be very interested to hear what's."

" All the things yeah -- probably think about that you think we're going to see like an STK announcement perhaps I. I I I had given up on the guessing what Apple's current UK and it. To win it on my brother and I used to work there and even he didn't know what's coming -- I. In his well but you know. He could even see him inside some parts of his own lab and yeah for anybody -- but. I think I certainly think they're losing market share of the netbook they have world. 400 dollar netbook with -- windows seven it's going to be very attractive I know how apple thinks they'd love to come out you know I had a couple days before I windows seven ships have to say hey we got stuff that call because dad that take a look at this week against an."

" And I'll violent it -- what comes -- that's exactly what I look like myself. A leg up in the morning grab it and read the news right -- yeah that's right you too yeah exactly and if I had that tablet that he -- I think that that nobody can Edward if you or I am innocent eyes to look back. It doesn't show last have a -- netbooks and I've gone. He opposed to that which is a weird thing -- become -- Nickelodeon that can wear. I just double. And incidently cluttered and I kind of see that play."

" An -- stop gap -- I totally feel the same way about it I totally agree with you were in this weird sort of tipping point now between what we know we're we're gonna go in the next year it's going to be interesting but I that few minutes left on -- show off. -- It's got the net on it. Oh my god this is from cases this is the biggest laptop cannot replace -- with the I think they'll let the Lenovo -- the new thinkpad that was about it CES. With the slide out school even. Yes we have rain over. -- this is a new one from basis let me just read -- some respects at the -- series. I thought for about it she -- 1680. On the way and for much about 1700 -- community this is running Windows Vista suffered some things stuck out he won this race. The the terabyte."

" Yet as a terabyte of this terabyte of hard drive here four gigabytes of ram -- as a Blu-ray drive. This is this is an intense media device like I'm looking at the HDMI port on the back right yeah this is heard this is for gaming this is for media creation and this is for media consumption this is really a desktop."

" He's right it's got the Nvidia geforce chips -- it's also has the volume control on this little slider thing here which -- interest. You're running your -- your finger up almost like a little you know lot. I can you run you can run the volume up that way right down hit the mute button in the center of it. It's really slick and it's beautifully designed. Again as such was pointing out got a Blu-ray drive in the screen resolution is running Vista on -- pop open the screen here."

" So the question is -- earth are people really buying these set desktop replacement laptops instead of just desktop. I know that's no question he's with the battery life and how -- charge you get out of this thing is sitting this thing on there as I don't know something soon. On a plane and I mean and -- Sasha and if he was on its economy how many laps would you need to hold this in a subway you know."

" Yeah it's this is like the middle of Burger King came out and that burger that was that you know we're gonna look like twenty hat he's here and I chatter on top. This this group it a lot. I. But three screens on it they're gonna pull out. It's gonna have wheels I mean it's just that it had a beautiful play I didn't get hot that I mean if you're gonna take these to land parties you've got to play games you'd -- games on this one heck of a device to be able to play 171700. Bucks. The 3000. This is again quite a bit about this device that only occasionally moves like maybe it launched a college student athletes that in his dorm except when he takes it home for two access time it -- stay with us is because it writing about it and hit."

" And home runs with a lot of you can see lately should prophecy Shelton a big fan you know -- show PC. The aces and yeah they're doing it and great things with their machines on the 1001. Out the HD one -- it was like while the keyboard on it. I think it's right now will milk the price range this of course is right behind by itself."

" But without a doubt -- 900 that they the big huge let Lenovo. A lot of features for photographers like. Screen calibration and and I think. Do you think which one do you think it's going to be better for photographers. That's what they design department sports illustrator attire for gun gonna go to in the World Series and sit in the in the you know dugout and needed to process photos and I'd."

" Really happening quickly just got this morning sent to play with photography stuff on here with the Lenovo what you do with that look outside panel you're talking about really enabled you know. So for editing to you were able to sit there and work on a photo and also then look at your original photos right on that screen and almost provide you an extra monitor there's there's -- obviously that is the screen resolution color. Because of color resolution on this is fantastic so to play with a lot more but. There you go maturities which -- better screen -- You know I actually like to screen actually person on the screen more than Lenovo yes because when -- first. -- next. Most expensive apple laptop and it blew away the apple that scream equality and brightness sharpness and color quality. Was noticeable. When you put on Cyprus. And that's another thing -- with these new MacBook pros at their shipping the new MacBook and fifteen inch in the new MacBook thirteen and also with that new enhanced screen which I'm pissed again that I just got my MacBook you know body. Three months ago. So once again that's -- Let's round up here that's -- do -- for us on the show but I want to get all on your plug in what you guys are working on first out there Robert what are you working on besides building 43 you take us inside building 43 what else is coming out. And gone to Twitter conference in New York next Tuesday."

I'm just trying to get our fundamentals right make sure that. We improved speed across the system to listen customers make sure we're doing everything right. We've got version six and development right now it's going to be a massive massive corporate buyouts in the -- we I think that coming out hope. We'll be at eight. But very very -- I have basically the feature for the final one might five's basically quality -- your great great. And and we got a lot of this could separate or -- can't talk about involved let it technologies. -- community that."
