Buzz Out Loud Ep. 1300: Is Ping a ding or a zing? (podcast)

Thu September 02, 2010. 07:31 PM

Steve Jobs says he tried to get Facebook integration in Ping, but Facebook made it too hard. Uh huh. Also, Boxee says it can price its box at $100 more and still compete. We're not so sure. In other news, Twitter plans to record all the links you click, Skyfire hopes to bring flash to un-jailbroken iOS devices (for the children!), and EULA rules fall once again. -->

“Hi Molly & Rafe,

Just wanted to add my two bits to the whole Indian government snooping issue. The issue they face is one of criminals using these IP based forms of communications and the firms that provide these services are not locally based. This in turn makes it impossible to tap these lines of communication for law agencies. The situation is not like China where there is a question of censorship and the government spying on probable signs of dissent. Law agencies and by extensions governments still have to get a court order to tap these lines of communications in India and in my opinion is no different than governments listening on to phone conversations of organized crime in most countries including the USA. The US does not face such situations because almost all the major servers of Google and Skype would be based locally and thus can be served a court order asking them to comply with law agencies here.
Thank You,

Arnie from Tampa, FL

“Hi guys,
Rafe said in BOL # 1298 that we need some form of patents to protect intellectual property. I challenge this premise, at least as far as software goes.
You cannot patent mathematical formulae. Algorithms are really no different. The result is we get all these patents on obvious things. There is a saying in business: those who can, innovate. Those who can’t, litigate. Innovative companies don’t need patents to protect them. There are a million Groupon clones but Groupon does it better than anyone else so they don’t care. Patents are for the lazy and incompetent.
What’s more, many say software patents are a zero sum game where companies grab patents as a defense against others coming against them. This is fine in theory but it leads (and has led) to the creation of patent trolls. Patent trolls differ from companies because they create nothing and thus they infringe in no patents so they have nothing to lose to litigating.
I agree with Molly. You cannot argue at this point that software patents don’t stifle innovation. Many countries have outlawed them. The US needs to as well or you will find the entrepreneurs going elsewhere taking their jobs with them. Software is the ultimate portable business.
Keep up the good work

“Hi Buzz Crew:
I admit to being about a 75% Apple fan boy
Without going all into the recent announcements, I have to comment on one thing –
Downloaded iTunes 10 and fired it up. Ping? Meh.
But the thing that DID strike me is that Apple seems to have violated their very own, cast in stone, religious fervor, word of God human interface guidelines.
in EVERY OS X app in the world the Maximize, Close and Minimize controls are horizontal in the upper left of the app window. Red, Yellow, Green — left to right.
Every app that is except iTunes 10 where for no reason that I can discern, Apple decided to put the buttons in a VERTICAL display. So 10,000,000 hours of muscle memory are undone and confounded in a single instant. The button i want isn’t where it should be.
This is so pointless and annoying and if any other developer had done it Steve would have personally punched them out
Aaaarghhhh
Love the show

Buzz Out Loud Ep. 1299: Apple iPod announcement shuffles the buttons (Podcast)

Wed September 01, 2010. 09:06 PM

Steve Jobs revealed today three new iPods, including a Shuffle with buttons, a Nano that can double as a wristwatch (we think) and a razor-sharp iPod Touch. Also: Sony and Amazon have media news of their own, and Zuckerberg wants his privacy. -->

“Hey Buzz Crew,
This is in response to episode 1296 about ads in iBooks. I must say the banner idea is kinda lame, but if ads must come, why don’t they try something interesting like between chapters you have the ad take the whole page, kind of like novels with illustrations every chapter or so or like magazines. That way, if you don’t want to see the ad, you just turn the page and it’s not right in your face.
Love the show!
- Matthew

“Dear BOL crew,
In episode 1296, you were discussing the potential future of advertising in the currently sanitized of today’s electronic advertising. My prediction is that you may see these types of advertising in the eBook arena, but I further predict that possible product placement will become rampant in published media. While it has already been very rampant in movies, prime time TV and even blogs and podcasts; I believe that print media is going to be a future sub-conscious marketing playground for future marketing giants.

“While spending my Saturday afternoon browsing the back episodes, I came across episode 598. While listening to the discussion of Android and what it was capable of, I sat there, my jaw on the floor, listening to Rafe talk about the open philosophy of the OS and how bad it would be for the carriers to come in lock it back down. Guess what, that is exactly what happened just two years later. Case in point, I have the Captivate and AT&T crippled this thing to death. It is an amazing phone but I had to unlock its potential on my own through rooting, trying different firmwares and fixes

to undo everything my carrier doesn’t want my phone to do. If I wanted a restricted phone, I would still be in line with everyone else I see at the mall, waiting for an iphone. Will Google ever step up and end the tyranny of the carriers, or will I have to sweat out the next few years with a warranty-voided phone?

Buzz Out Loud Ep. 1298: Forking tired of Android forks (Podcast)

Tue August 31, 2010. 07:58 PM

On today's show, Google does us a solid in the ham-filtering department, we wonder whether Paul Allen might have waited too long to sue the Internet, or whether this is just the beginning, and we speculate whether seven inches is, in fact, the perfect size after all. Plus, Internet vigilantes on the loose! --Molly -->

Buzz Out Loud Ep. 1297: Facebook wants to own your face (Podcast)

Mon August 30, 2010. 07:38 PM

We're back from our BOL summer vacation, only to find that Paul Allen is trying to patent-troll the Internet out of existence, Netflix seems to have finally put BlockBuster out of existence, and Foursquare ain't going down without a fight. Oh, and Donald Bell gives us his predictions for Apple's Sept. 1 event. --Molly -->

“Hey Buzz Crew,
This is in response to episode 1296 about ads in iBooks. I must say the banner idea is kinda lame, but if ads must come, why don’t they try something interesting like between chapters you have the ad take the whole page, kind of like novels with illustrations every chapter or so or like magazines. That way, if you don’t want to see the ad, you just turn the page and it’s not right in your face.
Love the show!
- Matthew

——————–

“Dear BOL crew,
In episode 1296, you were discussing the potential future of advertising in the currently sanitized of today’s electronic advertising. My prediction is that you may see these types of advertising in the eBook arena, but I further predict that possible product placement will become rampant in published media. While it has already been very rampant in movies, prime time TV and even blogs and podcasts; I believe that print media is going to be a future sub-conscious marketing playground for future marketing giants.

FLASHBACK! Buzz Out Loud 1262: Apple raises the bars (podcast)

Fri August 27, 2010. 08:41 AM

You say Flashback, I say Unicorn of Rock! Go!
There's a fix coming for the iPhone 4's antenna problems: Apple will make the signal strength meter go higher, no matter what. Seriously? Yes. Also, Steve Jobs did not say, "It's just a phone," Microsoft doesn't care which way you insert your batteries, and there is no space dust on Hayabusa.

Hey Buzz crew,
Listeneing to Episode 1261 where you talked about the death of the kin. Just wanted to point out there was 1 product with a much shorter life span. The Palm Foleo. Announced, produced, and not released… Could a product lifespan be shorter than that?!
Love the show,
Adam from MD
**********
Hello Buzz folk–
Just caught the podcast of episode 1261, in which there seemed to be consensus that class-action lawsuits benefit lawyers, punish companies, and leave consumers without recompense.
While that may be the case for consumer tech, I know of at least one example in which a company sold a faulty product and as a result of a class-action suit had to make it right for affected consumers. That example is polybutylene pipes, a plumbing product that eventually leaked when exposed to the high temperatures found in hot water delivery. Exposure to even very low concentrations of chlorine, such as that used to disinfect many public water supplies, also weakened the piping and led to leaks.
The settlement of the class-action suit, Cox vs. Shell Oil, led to formation of a billion-dollar fund that completely covered the cost of re-piping homes that were flooded by the leaking pipes.
While the suits against Apple for performance of the iPhone 4′s unique antenna design may be specious, not all class action lawsuits are wrong-headed, nor are they merely money-makers for lawyers. What I wonder, though, is where are the lawsuits on behalf of residents of New York and San Francisco against AT&T?
Paul the Tucson Tech Writer
**********
Hey Buzz crew,
This is in response to Apple’s customer support script forbidding giving away bumpers to appease iPhone 4 owners and making them buy them. They also do this with Xserves. Xserves do not have a regular VGA or DVI port to hook up a monitor. They have a display port that you must plug a VGA or DVI adapter dongle into. They used to include a VGA dongle with the previous generation Xserve, but now with the current generation, they have changed the display port to a mini-display port and no longer include a dongle. You must now buy one for $40.
http://www.cdw.com/shop/products/default.aspx?EDC=1601050
You don’t really have a choice because you can’t use your server without setting it up first. And to set it up, you need a monitor.
Also don’t forget, on the first iPhone they had a recessed headphone jack that you could only use Apple earbuds with or buy an adapter (but at least they included earbuds with the phone).
Love the show,

Craig

Hi Buzz Crew!
I would like to wish Tom the best of luck with all of his future endeavors after leaving Cnet and BOL. For a while now I have had a Cnet tribute corner set up at my cube and I wanted to send in a picture of it before Tom leaves. I have only been a BOL fan for about a year now, so for me this crew will always be my favorite.

Hello Boleros,
I'm sure I'm not the first, or the last, to say you will be greatly missed Tom, but I have to say anyway because it is important to say these things. I once heard Sean Connery say that the weird thing about being famous, is that people run into you on the street and think they know you, but to you they are complete strangers. I feel a similar way with your departure Tom. I, along with many many listeners are complete strangers to you, but it seems that we sort of know you throughout what equates, in my case to roughly 40 days and a thousand or so episodes that I've been following the show. We will miss your funny, quirky spin on technology, the dry humor, the informed patent and net neutrality rants, the arguments with Raif, the -not- singing with BT, and of course the great dupla you make with Molly. It's gonna be a different show, I hope you have great success and from my end I thank you for all the great work and effort on making this a great great show, with consistent high quality on a daily basis.
Best of luck Tom, cheers to you from sunny Mexico, and to Moly and the rest, keep up the great work, I never miss an episode!

From a complete stranger :)
Francisco
I know, we're all broken up about Tom leaving but you guys seriously

FLASHBACK! Buzz Out Loud 1223: We'll be watching you (podcast)

Wed August 25, 2010. 08:28 AM

This flashback was selected simply because of the song.
Our theme for today's show? Somebody's watching you, and it ain't just the Police. It's also Facebook and Google, and apparently some people think Net neutrality means the government will be watching you, too. Watch for the Net neutrality 101 rant at the end of the show plus a lot of singing of the "I'll be watching you" song. Because Brian Tong is on. We just hope Sting doesn't sue.

Molly,
I took your advice from several days ago and started deleting my profile data to make my facebook profile as bare bones as possible. That way when they do finally just opt me into publicly sharing everything there is nothing left to share. I logged in yesterday to have a popup from facebook ask me to verify some of their new settings and guess what? ALL of the items I had deleted were there and I had to uncheck every field as to not share them. If it’s my data and I have deleted it, then why isn’t it gone? :’(
Love the show,

**********
Better not wish for net neutrality with too much vigor. As I understand

it, they would stop things like podcasts with what they consider not of

any worth (like conservative blogs, podcasts, and the like). The problem

with that scenario is that the next administration might consider other

things (like Buzz Out Load) to be of no worth. We don’t need government

stomping on free speech, do we?
Love the show,

FLASHBACK! Buzz Out Loud 1207: Dropping the EFF bomb on the RIAA and MPAA (podcast)

Tue August 24, 2010. 08:09 AM

This flashback was chosen based on the description in the Buzz Out Loud wiki... "The Best Molly/MerritRant in Forever or Just In a Long Time." That's good enough for me!
Warning: contains strong language (that will be bleeped by the time you hear this), but we frankly couldn't help ourselves when we saw the stuff the RIAA and MPAA want to do to your computers, border guards, the FBI, and Homeland Security. It ain't good. Also, Twitter makes developers mad again, and we are definitely not number 1 in broadband. And it hurts.

Hey BOL,
To say that HTC should stick to hardware is ignoring the fact that they do the exact opposite of that right now. HTC has more engineers working on Windows Mobile and Android development than anyone other than Microsoft and Google. HTC built its reputation on skinning WinMo with TouchFlo (sorry I like the rhyme) and are doing the same with Sense on Android. It differentiates their products and in my opinion makes them way better than the standard OS. Now that Microsoft is putting a stop to this it makes total sense than they would want to make use of the HUGE investment that went into all their custom software. If they do buy Palm it will likely be a great match because the combination of WebOS, Sense, and sweet hardware will give anyone else out there a run for their money.
Love the show,
Marshall in VT
————————–

I can’t believe that nobody has mentioned this yet, but it sure wasn’t

common sense not to release a product under another company’s

trademark when Apple released the iPhone (TM, Cisco).

But in all seriousness, something was up with the video on #1206 because Tom was looking very green. It was freaking me out a little bit, not that I don’t love the rest of you but he was out/sick for over a week already and I don’t think I could live through another Tomless week… Also great to hear from Rafe again, he and Tom always have such great exchanges.

EPISODE 1137
Tom's Predictions for 2010:

Apple Tablet will come out in the summer and be $899

3DTV will be the big marketing push

Project Natal will launch but be overshadowed

Machine-to-machine connections will become a thing

Enterprise cloud services will be huge with companies like IBM and Oracle getting in to counter Google

More netbook-specific versions of software

Goodbye Palm

IBM will get back into hardware

HP will come out with a compelling IPTV box that includes cable.
Molly’s Predictions for 2010:

WiMax drools, LTE4 rules — WiMax rollouts will stall and LTE4 will take off like a rocket.

Google will blend Android and the Chrome OS into one offering

Microsoft will introduce a tablet.

Apple will not.

Palm will fold or be purchased.

Microsoft will make a Zune phone.

Congress or the FCC will force cell phone carriers to drop exclusivity agreements. (Har.)

Book publishers will boycott Amazon and the Kindle in force until Amazon agrees to higher prices for digital books.

Twitter will be purchased, probably by Facebook.

The “cloud” craze will slow after a MAJOR security incident, probably involving Google.

2010 will be the year of mobile security awareness.
Jason’s Predictions for 2010:

Vulnerability exploit of Android.

Google Wave will fizzle even further into obscurity and go the way of the dodo. FAIL.

No more than 3-4 total Microsoft retail stores will open by years end. Seen as a failure.

Android app store will pass 50,000 apps by years end.

E-book store in iTunes.

News will start to get out about the next generation Microsoft game system.

Embedded connectivity (ala Kindle and Nook) will become much more prevalent among other types of tech.

Google will extend its adwords to the mobile platform as a way to subsidize their phones for the public.

The iPhone actually doesn’t make it to Verizon before year’s end.

iTunes subscription music, streamed directly to the device.

Netflix and Twitter will be acquired.

Data plans are about to nosedive in the same way that cell phone minutes plans plummeted not too far back.

Hey BOLers,
In episode 1295 you pointed out that the “”Mac vs. PC”" adds have died away as of late 2009. This was discussed in conjunction with the story that Windows 7 is officially not horrific.
I don’t think that those adds died because apple realized that Windows was a true contender again. I think it’s more because Apple has consistently be pushing towards iOS devices instead of their desktop OS X.
They would much spend their advertising effort and voice on getting people to buy less expensive devices where Apple get a cut every time a user:

? buys a song

? buys a movie

? buys a book

? buys an app

? sees an Advertisement
Why advertise expensive trucks, when you can get everyone riding a small car that only takes the gas you sell?
It’s not that Windows isn’t worth heckling anymore. It’s just that it’s not as profitable as heckling windows mobile.

I think McAfee CEO Dave DeWalt was driving to work on the freeway and

cut off Intel CEO Paul Otellini.
Paul had a bit of Road Rage and followed Dave for a while. Then Dave

took the Same exit as Paul.
Paul continued to follow him right into the McAfee Parking lot. As

Dave parked in the CEO spot up near the front door, Paule came up with

a Plan……
“Buy the company to fire Dave for cutting him off.” Simple.

BLACKBERRY RESULTS

Mon: What is your favorite trojan horse/virus name?

Peter from Brampton: “”I Love You”" because of the back story. My boss, who is also the head of IT or the company, got the email and double clicked on the attached exe file. I was in his office at the time and when his outbox number started to climb, he jumped under his desk and unplugged the ethernet cable from the wall. It is a picture I will never forget.

Tue: Blackberry Torch or Windows Phone 7?

Blackberry Torch by a 3:1 ratio!
Wed: How bad is your packet loss?

cricket… cricket…
Thu: Facebook or Foursquare?

Foursquare over Facebook by a 2:1 ratio….BUT – “Neither” (the dark horse in the race) beat BOTH of them by a landslide!

Buzz Out Loud 1295: Facebook Places knows when you miss the bus (podcast)

Thu August 19, 2010. 07:23 PM

On today's show, how future generations will know all too well where they were conceived, thanks to Facebook Places--and yes, it's opt-out and lets your friends check you in, but somehow, I can still find a way to love it. Plus, Intel buys McAfee, Verizon's bringing TV to your iPad (in bed), and Windows 7 is killing it!

Hi Buzz crew,

Quick note about TiVo and Video on demand. Last year they partnered with Seachange (who provides VOD for the majority of cable systems including cox) to develop a way to get video on demand on TiVo without tru2way. Hopefully this is the first of many cable company announcements.
As far as the logistics, the TiVo premiere is currently a oneway cable card device as it doesn’t have docsis hardware. As much as I would like another USB dongle, I hope they use the internet connection to request content.

Love the show!

Just listened to Tuesdays show, and I did a quick count of FM radios I own.
1 in the car
1 in the pick-up
1 in the big stereo (I have an old style component system)
3 alarm clocks with radios
2 boom boxes
1 walkman (tape player and fm radio)
1 dedicated ear-phone headset radio
3 small dollar-store fm radios (you get a pair of headphones and a radio for a buck. Since I destroy headphones like Natali goes through iphones, I have many of these)
Out of all these the only one that gets used is the one in the car because I do not have a aux plug in the car stereo. But still I do not listed to over the air FM stations. I use a FM transmitter to listen to podcasts on the drive home (usually BOL).
I do not see the need to increase the number of radios I own. Even in an emergency, I can always find one somewhere.
Thanks,
Darren

Hey Buzz Crew,
This came to me at about 3am this morning…the absolute killer app for the Google TV set top box thing:
While watching live tv or something being streamed you see something hilarious or ridiculous. You hit a button on your Google remote, it snaps a screenshot of whatever you’re watching then allows you to apply a stamp like FAIL (as much as I hate that term) or WTF and then post it directly to Facebook/Twitter/Buzz or, if you’re in Brasil, Orkut.
Ideally, you could snap some video too…but that would probably incur the wrath of the TV and movie industries.
Seriously, how many times have you wished you could do that…or is it just me?
Love the show!
Alec from Australia
PS: someone emailed you about the iiNet 1TB broadband cap yesterday, well Primus just point 1 upped them with a 1.1TB cap this morning…see what I did there? ;)

Buzz Out Loud 1294: Web: there's an app for that (podcast)

Wed August 18, 2010. 06:49 PM

Turns out the Web is dead. Nope, sorry, Chris Anderson from Wired said so, and that's just the way it is. Nevertheless, we discuss. Also, the Chrome OS is about to hit the tablet world like a meteor, you're only getting half the broadband you're paying for, and Microsoft Flight Simulator is back! Darren and Rafe are so excited! Molly and Jason are also here!
