I know everything was taken over 0:00:25.920 --> 0:00:28.560 by Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook. We'll discuss some of that 0:00:28.600 --> 0:00:31.920 stuff and the privacy implications.

We've got 0:00:47.640 --> 0:00:50.040 a lot of you listening every day. I'm very impressed 0:00:50.080 --> 0:00:52.159 with that. I've been asking you guys to leave some 0:00:52.240 --> 0:00:55.840 reviews so that other people find the podcast, and I'm 0:00:55.840 --> 0:00:58.360 happy to say that as of right now, we have 0:00:58.560 --> 0:01:00.800 Let me just make sure before I say that, I 0:01:00.960 --> 0:01:04.040 believe we are one hundred percent. Yes, we are one 0:01:04.080 --> 0:01:08.720 hundred percent five star reviews. So we've got a bunch 0:01:08.760 --> 0:01:10.920 of people that have reviewed this thing and they all 0:01:10.959 --> 0:01:13.720 say five stars. So five point zero five out of five. 0:01:13.760 --> 0:01:15.600 That means you like what I'm doing. I love to 0:01:15.640 --> 0:01:17.920 hear that. And if you want to leave a review, 0:01:18.520 --> 0:01:20.320 you can do that in the podcast app on your 0:01:20.360 --> 0:01:23.280 iPhone or through iTunes. It doesn't have to be long. 0:01:23.319 --> 0:01:24.920 You can just do short and sweet. You know, I 0:01:25.040 --> 0:01:26.960 like the show, I like what you're doing. Just let 0:01:26.959 --> 0:01:29.440 me know because that way I keep doing it. You know, 0:01:30.160 --> 0:01:32.840 it gives me fuel for the fire here. Thanks so 0:01:32.920 --> 0:01:37.280 much to everyone watching on the live broadcast, and I'm 0:01:37.319 --> 0:01:39.040 gonna talk to you guys as well. You can join 0:01:39.080 --> 0:01:41.440 the conversation. I'm gonna have a phone number in just 0:01:41.520 --> 0:01:43.759 a moment that you can call in. And so think 0:01:43.800 --> 0:01:45.959 about it. Think about what's vexing you in your life. 0:01:45.959 --> 0:01:48.400 What's happening in your life that you need to talk 0:01:48.440 --> 0:01:52.280 to someone about technology, whether it is your WiFi that 0:01:52.400 --> 0:01:54.880 doesn't work, whether it's something on your phone you're getting 0:01:55.200 --> 0:01:59.360 double notifications or double text messages, or you can't find 0:01:59.400 --> 0:02:01.840 the app that you need to do something. This is 0:02:01.880 --> 0:02:04.080 my life. This is what I talk about every day. 0:02:04.120 --> 0:02:07.080 I'm studying this stuff, and believe me, I've got a 0:02:07.080 --> 0:02:09.360 lot of stuff to share with you guys. Let's just 0:02:09.440 --> 0:02:12.639 start with Facebook, because I know it's on a lot 0:02:12.639 --> 0:02:17.200 of your minds and the privacy concerns. I was on 0:02:17.360 --> 0:02:20.840 a Serious satellite radio yesterday and for those of you 0:02:20.880 --> 0:02:22.519 who listen, thank you. It was a really cool It 0:02:22.560 --> 0:02:25.280 was my first time on Sirious and it was really cool. 0:02:25.280 --> 0:02:29.520 But we got into this really interesting conversation about Facebook 0:02:29.520 --> 0:02:32.760 and privacy, and to me, I just always assume that 0:02:32.800 --> 0:02:35.440 everyone assumed they were not private on Facebook. No matter 0:02:35.480 --> 0:02:39.320 what you exchanged on Facebook, some kind of computer or 0:02:39.360 --> 0:02:43.560 server or artificial intelligence is analyzing and scanning what you 0:02:43.639 --> 0:02:46.200 look at, or well what you look at, as well 0:02:46.240 --> 0:02:49.320 as what you're typing, what you're browsing, anything you do 0:02:49.400 --> 0:02:52.000 on there. I don't think people realize just to the 0:02:52.080 --> 0:02:55.840 extent that Facebook can also monitor things that are outside 0:02:56.080 --> 0:02:58.520 of Facebook. So when you go to a separate website 0:02:58.840 --> 0:03:02.959 and it has some Facebook functionality built into it, Facebook 0:03:02.960 --> 0:03:05.520 can also see what you do at that website, and 0:03:05.560 --> 0:03:08.800 that's something that's called the Facebook pixel. A lot of 0:03:08.800 --> 0:03:12.720 websites have it installed, and what it does is when 0:03:12.760 --> 0:03:15.640 you go to a third party website, any random website, 0:03:15.680 --> 0:03:19.560 and it has this Facebook pixel installed, it's basically sending 0:03:19.600 --> 0:03:22.680 back information about your visit to Facebook so that they 0:03:22.720 --> 0:03:25.919 can connect the two lines. So they know that rich 0:03:26.000 --> 0:03:30.440 DeMuro visited this belt website that I really like. I 0:03:30.520 --> 0:03:33.040 like these certain type of belts, and I go to 0:03:33.040 --> 0:03:36.120 that website and now that belt website goes, ooh, did 0:03:36.280 --> 0:03:38.840 he came to our website but he didn't buy anything? 0:03:39.120 --> 0:03:41.360 So let's go back to his Facebook page and let's 0:03:41.360 --> 0:03:43.640 put a little ad there for five percent off his 0:03:43.680 --> 0:03:47.040 next purchase at our belt company. Yes, if you're a marketer, 0:03:47.240 --> 0:03:49.800 that's brilliant, because now I go back to my Facebook 0:03:49.800 --> 0:03:51.720 page the next day and I go, oh, that was 0:03:52.240 --> 0:03:55.000 the belt I was looking at. Let me oh oh, 0:03:55.040 --> 0:03:57.080 and I get ten percent off. That's cool, let me 0:03:57.120 --> 0:03:59.520 buy it now. And now they just converted that sale. 0:03:59.800 --> 0:04:01.440 So a lot of this does have to do with 0:04:02.000 --> 0:04:08.080 making sales, selling you stuff, merchandising, marketing. It is scary 0:04:08.160 --> 0:04:10.520 that they can track you this closely, but the reality 0:04:10.600 --> 0:04:12.680 is this has been going on in our lives in 0:04:12.760 --> 0:04:15.400 so many different ways. It's just that Facebook has gotten 0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:18.159 really good at doing it. And I haven't even gotten 0:04:18.200 --> 0:04:22.159 into the other web companies like Google. They're the major platforms, 0:04:22.600 --> 0:04:25.680 and so these are the companies that are doing it best. 0:04:26.120 --> 0:04:28.800 And the reality is people have always been tracking us, 0:04:28.800 --> 0:04:31.440 and technology has been out there to do that. Your bank, 0:04:32.200 --> 0:04:34.880 your credit card. If you don't think your credit card 0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:38.200 is slicing and dicing the information of where you're shopping 0:04:38.640 --> 0:04:42.440 and how you're spending your money and all that kind 0:04:42.480 --> 0:04:45.680 of stuff, I mean, you're kind of fooling yourself because 0:04:46.360 --> 0:04:50.479 it's all meant to sell you more stuff. I mean, 0:04:50.560 --> 0:04:52.640 these are the kind of things that these companies do 0:04:52.680 --> 0:04:54.800 and it's not a bad thing. It really isn't. It's 0:04:54.800 --> 0:04:56.400 bad for your wallet, and if you listen to the 0:04:56.480 --> 0:04:59.120 Daily podcast, I've explained this before, it's bad for your 0:04:59.160 --> 0:05:01.960 wallet because the better they get at marketing us stuff, 0:05:02.000 --> 0:05:06.440 the more we are spending money. And in that aspect 0:05:06.480 --> 0:05:08.760 it's bad. But in other aspects it's actually not bad 0:05:08.800 --> 0:05:10.920 at all. So when you think about it, if you 0:05:11.000 --> 0:05:16.120 use Facebook Messenger to message someone, and I just never 0:05:16.160 --> 0:05:18.360 assume that those messages were private. Now, I don't think 0:05:18.360 --> 0:05:21.080 Facebook would ever put those messages in a public forum, 0:05:21.360 --> 0:05:23.320 like They're not going to share what I'm saying to 0:05:23.360 --> 0:05:26.120 my friends on the cover of the New York Times. 0:05:26.279 --> 0:05:30.200 That's not the way I imagine the privacy is when 0:05:30.200 --> 0:05:32.880 I think privacy, I think that it's private, but a 0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:35.920 server is reading and consuming that message to figure out 0:05:36.160 --> 0:05:38.479 is he talking about going to Tahiti? All right, Let's 0:05:38.520 --> 0:05:43.359 send him a Facebook ad about Tahiti because he talked 0:05:43.360 --> 0:05:45.719 about that with his friend and Facebook Messenger. To me, 0:05:45.880 --> 0:05:48.679 that was just logical. It makes sense. Why would Facebook 0:05:48.720 --> 0:05:52.880 Messenger offer a free service like that without something in return? 0:05:53.400 --> 0:05:54.760 And if you say, well, why do they have to 0:05:54.800 --> 0:05:57.240 track me? Why can't they just put ads on there 0:05:57.240 --> 0:06:01.320 that aren't linked to me, Well they don't work. If 0:06:01.320 --> 0:06:03.400 they show me an ad for Greece and I don't 0:06:03.400 --> 0:06:06.800 have any idea about wanting to go to Greece, then 0:06:06.960 --> 0:06:10.320 that person that's buying that Greek ad or that Grease 0:06:10.360 --> 0:06:13.320 ad is just wasting money because I'm not going to 0:06:13.400 --> 0:06:16.280 go there. I have nothing against Greece. I'm just using 0:06:16.279 --> 0:06:18.680 that as an example. So anyway, there you go. I'm 0:06:18.720 --> 0:06:21.720 just trying to explain a little bit more as to 0:06:21.720 --> 0:06:24.360 what these companies are doing. And if you're searching on Google, 0:06:24.400 --> 0:06:27.440 it's the same thing. They're creating a profile of you. 0:06:27.560 --> 0:06:28.960 And a lot of these companies are quick to say 0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:31.559 they don't sell your data they're not selling your data, 0:06:31.800 --> 0:06:34.640 but they are using your data so that marketers can 0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:37.080 market to you. So if I'm a person that wants 0:06:37.160 --> 0:06:39.640 to sell something on Facebook, I don't get a list 0:06:39.680 --> 0:06:44.000 of everyone that likes my company. Maybe you can get that, perhaps, 0:06:44.040 --> 0:06:46.360 but the reality is all I want is a list 0:06:46.400 --> 0:06:50.400 of let's say I'm selling, Let's see what do we 0:06:50.440 --> 0:06:54.320 want to sell. Let's say I want to sell. Let's 0:06:54.360 --> 0:06:58.839 see what can I sell a new type of a candle. Okay, 0:06:59.279 --> 0:07:01.359 so let's say I want a list of everyone on 0:07:01.400 --> 0:07:05.280 Facebook who has expressed interest in going out to nice 0:07:05.279 --> 0:07:10.640 dinners or fun little handmade items around their house, or 0:07:10.720 --> 0:07:13.920 they're into their home, or they're into maybe even gardening, 0:07:13.920 --> 0:07:16.000 because gardening might lead me to believe that you like 0:07:16.440 --> 0:07:18.760 a nice candlelight dinner. So now I'm gonna try to 0:07:18.800 --> 0:07:20.120 get I'm not going to get a list of all 0:07:20.160 --> 0:07:22.240 those people. But Facebook says, hey, we're gonna send to 0:07:22.280 --> 0:07:25.720 all those people your ad for those candles because they 0:07:25.800 --> 0:07:27.600 seem like they're interested in that kind of stuff. And 0:07:27.640 --> 0:07:29.840 the more you do on Facebook, the more they can 0:07:29.880 --> 0:07:33.600 build that profile of you. So anyway, that's I agree, 0:07:33.600 --> 0:07:35.560 And Angie says, I feel like we already knew this, 0:07:36.160 --> 0:07:38.120 and that's kind of like what I feel like. I mean, 0:07:38.240 --> 0:07:45.640 who didn't know this? Carlin says exactly, nothing is free, 0:07:46.080 --> 0:07:49.520 and Claudia says, definitely tracking our every step. Unfortunately I 0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:53.200 did not know anything anyone that isn't. Yeah, I mean 0:07:53.200 --> 0:07:57.120 that's the thing. Let's see what else do we have 0:07:57.200 --> 0:08:01.040 any Manny says, very very true. So anyway, that's it. 0:08:01.080 --> 0:08:03.040 I'm just I'm just giving you guys ideas so that 0:08:03.120 --> 0:08:06.120 you know what's happening. Phone lines are open, area code 0:08:06.120 --> 0:08:09.000 three one zero five nine four three zero zero three. 0:08:09.040 --> 0:08:11.600 I'm Rich Jumiro. You're listening to Rich on tech Live. 0:08:12.240 --> 0:08:14.880 And if you have a question, you've got something on 0:08:14.960 --> 0:08:17.920 your mind about technology, call in. You can talk to me. 0:08:18.200 --> 0:08:21.600 We'll talk you through it. What else is happening in 0:08:21.640 --> 0:08:24.080 the news. I'll talk about more Facebook in a little bit. 0:08:24.120 --> 0:08:27.400 Let's let's let Facebook breathe for a moment, but let's 0:08:27.400 --> 0:08:31.560 talk about something that is How about my next favorite topic, Apple? 0:08:32.720 --> 0:08:36.000 So Apple, you know, we talked about the HomePod on 0:08:36.040 --> 0:08:42.480 this podcast, and apparently the HomePod is not doing so well. 0:08:43.440 --> 0:08:46.840 Bloomberg out with a story that apple stumbling HomePod isn't 0:08:46.880 --> 0:08:49.880 the hot cellar it wanted. This is from Mark German. 0:08:50.000 --> 0:08:55.280 He is literally the Apple the Apple expert he is. 0:08:55.360 --> 0:08:58.200 This guy clearly has a lot of friends at Apple 0:08:58.280 --> 0:09:02.400 because he's always getting a scoop from them. And basically 0:09:02.559 --> 0:09:05.319 a couple of things that they're saying about the HomePod 0:09:05.800 --> 0:09:07.800 is that, you know, Apple was all about the quality 0:09:07.840 --> 0:09:10.600 of this device, and it does. It sounds great, but 0:09:10.640 --> 0:09:14.480 the problem is consumers didn't really necessarily care about the 0:09:14.520 --> 0:09:19.679 quality of the device. And that's a problem because realistically, 0:09:19.720 --> 0:09:22.040 when you think about the HomePod, the only thing that 0:09:22.080 --> 0:09:26.320 it works with is the Apple Music and that's just 0:09:26.400 --> 0:09:30.319 not enough for this thing to take off. Apparently, in 0:09:30.360 --> 0:09:32.439 its first ten weeks of sale, it only got ten 0:09:32.480 --> 0:09:36.320 percent of the smart speaker market, seventy three percent for 0:09:36.400 --> 0:09:40.240 Google or Amazon Echo, fourteen percent for Google Home. And 0:09:40.280 --> 0:09:42.199 those numbers are not from Apple or anyone that's from 0:09:42.200 --> 0:09:44.120 a third party, so we don't know how accurate they are. 0:09:44.120 --> 0:09:47.840 But the reality is most people are not out buying 0:09:47.880 --> 0:09:50.000 HomePods right now. It's too expensive. It only works with 0:09:50.040 --> 0:09:53.679 Apple Music. If you're an Apple ecosystem fanatic, then it's 0:09:53.720 --> 0:09:56.440 a great buy. Otherwise, if you're into Spotify or anything else, 0:09:56.480 --> 0:09:59.520 it's a really tough buy. All right, let's go to 0:09:59.520 --> 0:10:02.040 the phone line. We've got five six to two on. 0:10:02.320 --> 0:10:04.760 We've got five six two you're on with Rich. Hello. 0:10:04.800 --> 0:10:05.600 Who am I speaking with? 0:10:06.960 --> 0:10:07.160 Hey? 0:10:07.280 --> 0:10:08.920 Rich is David Hughes out of lake Wood. 0:10:09.080 --> 0:10:10.120 Hey, David, how are you doing? 0:10:11.400 --> 0:10:12.960 I'm doing good? Thank you? 0:10:13.000 --> 0:10:15.720 How's the good morning? How's the show? How's the show looking? 0:10:15.720 --> 0:10:18.920 Today's everything technically? Okay? 0:10:19.040 --> 0:10:19.199 Yes? 0:10:19.480 --> 0:10:21.760 Yeah, I got it up on the Facebook live page. 0:10:21.920 --> 0:10:24.599 I'm streaming good audio problems. 0:10:24.120 --> 0:10:26.400 Beautiful, just making sure? All right? What can I help 0:10:26.400 --> 0:10:28.199 you with today? 0:10:28.240 --> 0:10:28.480 Hey? 0:10:28.520 --> 0:10:33.240 So two questions for you. First one is the Samsung 0:10:33.559 --> 0:10:36.240 S nine phone. When are they gonna be coming out 0:10:36.280 --> 0:10:39.839 with S ten phone? And should I wait for that? 0:10:40.800 --> 0:10:42.640 I would not wait for the S ten because the 0:10:42.720 --> 0:10:45.760 S nine just came out. I mean you're talking. What 0:10:45.840 --> 0:10:49.360 was it March March fourteenth? I think it went on sale. 0:10:49.800 --> 0:10:52.640 So it just went on sale. We're we're in April, 0:10:52.679 --> 0:10:56.720 so it's only a month old. Everything about the S 0:10:56.840 --> 0:10:58.960 nine I think they did a really nice job with 0:10:59.160 --> 0:11:03.319 So what do you have right now? I want to say, okay, 0:11:03.320 --> 0:11:05.560 sir on a seven? So I think when you the 0:11:05.600 --> 0:11:07.920 seven was a really nice upgrade from the six because 0:11:07.920 --> 0:11:10.040 the six had a lot of battery problems. I think 0:11:10.040 --> 0:11:12.600 the seven was a nice smoothing out of all those problems. 0:11:12.880 --> 0:11:14.600 The seven, the thing I like about it is it 0:11:14.640 --> 0:11:17.880 still has the fingerprint reader on the front right, so 0:11:17.920 --> 0:11:21.959 it's a good position underneath the screen. The eight they 0:11:21.960 --> 0:11:24.520 really messed up on because they put the fingerprint reader 0:11:24.520 --> 0:11:26.240 on the back, but they put it in a really 0:11:26.280 --> 0:11:28.520 bad position. So I'm glad you skipped the eight. The 0:11:28.720 --> 0:11:31.800 nine they actually put the fingerprint reader in the right position, 0:11:32.160 --> 0:11:34.200 and I would say when it comes to a Samsung device, 0:11:34.400 --> 0:11:37.440 this is about as perfect as it gets. The only 0:11:37.480 --> 0:11:39.960 thing I could see improvement for at this point on 0:11:39.960 --> 0:11:43.760 the Samsung device is some software improvements. Although I think 0:11:43.760 --> 0:11:47.520 the software has gotten really good. It's really just maybe 0:11:47.520 --> 0:11:49.920 the front facing camera and that's it. I've seen some 0:11:50.040 --> 0:11:53.720 stumbles in the software when it comes to the smoothness 0:11:53.720 --> 0:11:56.200 of it. But I really think the S nine is 0:11:56.240 --> 0:11:59.560 probably the perfect Android phone at this point. Unless you're 0:11:59.600 --> 0:12:02.079 looking at their devices. What's the most important thing you're 0:12:02.120 --> 0:12:04.280 looking for and you're Android. 0:12:04.800 --> 0:12:06.440 Well, I use it a lot for work, so just 0:12:06.480 --> 0:12:09.280 reliability for performance, you know, I came from originally with 0:12:09.320 --> 0:12:12.200 a motorola and it crashed ONMMI and then I jumped 0:12:12.240 --> 0:12:14.640 to the five, and then I went to the five 0:12:14.800 --> 0:12:17.679 to the seven, so I jumped versions. So ever since 0:12:17.720 --> 0:12:19.719 I had the five, I really liked it. I've been 0:12:19.720 --> 0:12:20.920 sticking with it since then. 0:12:21.280 --> 0:12:23.920 The only other phone that I would recommend you take 0:12:23.920 --> 0:12:27.320 a look at is, uh, the one Plus. Have you 0:12:27.320 --> 0:12:27.960 heard of this one? 0:12:29.840 --> 0:12:30.160 Yes? 0:12:30.440 --> 0:12:33.720 So the reason I like the one Plus is because 0:12:33.840 --> 0:12:36.439 it really does a nice job with their phone. It's 0:12:36.480 --> 0:12:40.760 five hundred bucks, it's a beautifully designed phone, it's got 0:12:40.800 --> 0:12:43.160 a great screen, it's got a it's got a good camera. 0:12:43.160 --> 0:12:44.800 I wouldn't say it's the best camera in the world, 0:12:44.840 --> 0:12:48.560 but it's gonna it's gonna be a capable camera, and 0:12:48.760 --> 0:12:52.480 you really don't you The software is just unbelievable. So 0:12:52.520 --> 0:12:55.320 that's really where this kind of I think is ahead 0:12:55.360 --> 0:12:57.640 of the Samsung. The Samsung there's a lot of there's 0:12:57.679 --> 0:12:59.440 a lot of stuff on there, but there's a lot 0:12:59.480 --> 0:13:01.880 of extra up on there sometimes that you don't necessarily need, 0:13:01.920 --> 0:13:04.520 whereas the one Plus has a lot of nice software features, 0:13:04.520 --> 0:13:06.000 but it's not a lot of stuff that you don't need. 0:13:06.040 --> 0:13:08.240 So I would take a look at that and otherwise 0:13:08.280 --> 0:13:11.920 the pixel the Pixel two I really like as well, 0:13:12.240 --> 0:13:14.360 except I think the pixel too xcel is a little 0:13:14.360 --> 0:13:16.439 bit too big, and I think the Pixel two is 0:13:16.440 --> 0:13:18.440 a little bit too small. And you also kind of 0:13:18.440 --> 0:13:21.040 lose a lot of features on the pixel like wireless charging, 0:13:21.480 --> 0:13:24.840 the extra storage capacity, so things like that. So I like, 0:13:25.360 --> 0:13:28.440 and the screen is better on the S nine. So 0:13:28.920 --> 0:13:30.959 you said you had two questions. What's the second question. 0:13:31.480 --> 0:13:33.520 Yeah, Well, the other one's always about Wi Fi ringty. 0:13:33.520 --> 0:13:35.440 Once again, we always have Wi Fi issues and they 0:13:35.440 --> 0:13:38.320 get an extend an only sends in one room gaming 0:13:38.400 --> 0:13:41.200 and we have an extender if he's not getting strong 0:13:41.280 --> 0:13:44.640 enough signal, So we're looking to do something else to 0:13:44.679 --> 0:13:46.000 get our signal boosted on. 0:13:46.040 --> 0:13:46.520 Our Wi Fi. 0:13:46.960 --> 0:13:49.200 Well, the one thing I recommend is it's a system 0:13:49.280 --> 0:13:51.839 called EO E E R O. If you've listened to 0:13:51.880 --> 0:13:55.679 the podcast, you've definitely heard me talk about it. The 0:13:56.040 --> 0:13:59.080 thing about EO is it's unbelievable. I mean I recommended 0:13:59.120 --> 0:14:01.360 it to a cowork the other day and he bought 0:14:01.400 --> 0:14:04.559 it immediately, and it was shipped to his house through 0:14:04.600 --> 0:14:07.400 Amazon immediately, and he just couldn't believe how good it was. 0:14:08.040 --> 0:14:10.760 And this this is really, if you want the best 0:14:10.800 --> 0:14:12.839 WiFi in your house, Ero is the way to go. 0:14:13.920 --> 0:14:17.040 The only downside to it is twofold. It's a startup, 0:14:18.200 --> 0:14:21.160 so it could go out of business, but I don't 0:14:21.160 --> 0:14:23.760 anticipate that. I think that a company would at least 0:14:23.800 --> 0:14:26.760 buy the technology from them because it's so good and 0:14:26.840 --> 0:14:31.240 they kind of they kind of they invented this technology. 0:14:31.280 --> 0:14:34.160 So it's four hundred dollars for a starter system or 0:14:34.200 --> 0:14:36.560 I guess the best selling system. You can get it 0:14:36.600 --> 0:14:40.080 as cheap as two ninety nine, let's see, and then 0:14:40.120 --> 0:14:42.400 you can get little individual ones for one fifty. But 0:14:42.880 --> 0:14:44.840 I would say check out euro that's gonna be your 0:14:44.880 --> 0:14:48.280 absolute best case scenario. Then the other one that's good 0:14:48.600 --> 0:14:53.240 is Netgear ORB. So people really like that one. I 0:14:53.280 --> 0:14:55.320 have not tested it personally, but it's a it's a 0:14:55.440 --> 0:14:57.760 very popular system. It comes from Netgear, which is a 0:14:58.360 --> 0:15:01.520 big networking company. That one's good, and then the other 0:15:01.560 --> 0:15:04.080 one to look at is Google Wi Fi, which a 0:15:04.160 --> 0:15:07.440 lot of people like as well. The problem with Google 0:15:07.520 --> 0:15:12.600 Wi Fi is that Google is very haphazard in kind 0:15:12.640 --> 0:15:15.880 of their continuing projects. So this is a great product, 0:15:16.040 --> 0:15:18.520 but Google kind of is all over the place when 0:15:18.560 --> 0:15:20.520 it comes to support in the long term, so they 0:15:20.560 --> 0:15:22.960 may stop making this, they may forget about it. But 0:15:23.120 --> 0:15:25.240 this one is really good as well. So those are 0:15:25.280 --> 0:15:27.640 the three I recommend taking a look at, but don't 0:15:27.960 --> 0:15:30.880 go with a booster or extender anymore. I don't recommend 0:15:30.880 --> 0:15:33.960 those because they just don't work for today's systems and 0:15:34.040 --> 0:15:37.680 today's gadgets. We're much more. We've moved past those those 0:15:37.760 --> 0:15:40.600 types of systems. Now there's just a lot more stress 0:15:40.640 --> 0:15:41.280 on what we need. 0:15:43.040 --> 0:15:45.880 Okay, great, Thank you very much for great David. 0:15:45.880 --> 0:15:47.760 Thanks so much for calling in appreciate it. Thanks for 0:15:47.840 --> 0:15:50.880 calling the show. Phone lines are open if you'd like 0:15:50.960 --> 0:15:52.880 to get in. The phone number is three one zero 0:15:52.960 --> 0:15:55.800 five nine four three zero zero three. Now's a good 0:15:55.840 --> 0:15:58.240 time to tell you about my favorite case. I've been 0:15:58.360 --> 0:16:01.360 buying this case for every phone that I ever use. 0:16:02.400 --> 0:16:04.040 I just love this case. So I'm telling you guys 0:16:04.040 --> 0:16:07.040 about it. Not sponsored. This is just one of the 0:16:07.120 --> 0:16:09.800 I just love this case, and I've purchased it for 0:16:09.960 --> 0:16:12.720 a couple of the phones I use regularly, and I 0:16:12.880 --> 0:16:14.880 just got this one. This is basically it's called the 0:16:15.360 --> 0:16:19.360 Spec Presidio Grip, and I just love the way this 0:16:19.880 --> 0:16:22.640 case fits on your phone. There's a on the iPhone ten. 0:16:23.240 --> 0:16:28.160 It's super grippy. You just can't It's just amazing the 0:16:28.240 --> 0:16:30.160 way it fits onto your phone. It doesn't make your 0:16:30.200 --> 0:16:32.800 phone too big. And the grips. You've got these little 0:16:32.800 --> 0:16:35.600 grips on the edges that literally make you never drop 0:16:35.680 --> 0:16:40.000 your phone ever. So I love that aspect of it. Spec. 0:16:40.200 --> 0:16:42.080 I can, you know, I forgot, I keep forgetting that 0:16:42.120 --> 0:16:45.160 I could actually comment on these things. So let me 0:16:46.760 --> 0:16:48.440 let me put this in the comments so you guys 0:16:48.520 --> 0:16:50.760 can actually see what I'm talking about. But that's the 0:16:50.880 --> 0:16:54.960 Spec Presidio grip. I don't think that you can click 0:16:55.040 --> 0:16:56.600 on it from you can click on it from there, 0:16:56.960 --> 0:17:00.040 all right. Anyway, that's a really nice case, so I 0:17:00.120 --> 0:17:03.760 highly recommend that. And JT says, does the case come 0:17:03.840 --> 0:17:06.600 in clear? I, you know, I don't know. I don't 0:17:06.600 --> 0:17:07.920 know if it comes in the grip. I think it 0:17:08.080 --> 0:17:10.600 just comes in colors in the grip. But they have 0:17:10.720 --> 0:17:13.639 Spec Presidio without the grip. But I think that if 0:17:13.680 --> 0:17:15.760 you're gonna go with the Spec Presidio, you gotta get 0:17:16.000 --> 0:17:18.840 the grip. And Angie says she got one for my 0:17:19.080 --> 0:17:21.560 S nine. It's sleek. I haven't dropped it once and 0:17:22.080 --> 0:17:25.560 that that's really nice. All right, let's go to the 0:17:25.600 --> 0:17:28.479 phone lines. Uh eight, let's see what was this? Eight 0:17:28.520 --> 0:17:30.200 oh one? You're on with Ritch? Who am I speaking with? 0:17:31.280 --> 0:17:32.960 Hey, Rich, this is Steve. How are you doing? 0:17:33.119 --> 0:17:36.080 Oh? I'm doing fantastic, Steve. It's a Saturday. 0:17:37.400 --> 0:17:40.160 Oh yes, tell me what dun Fox thirteen all the time. 0:17:40.400 --> 0:17:42.840 And then I travel to California for work and see 0:17:42.880 --> 0:17:43.800 you on KTLA. 0:17:44.280 --> 0:17:47.080 Oh, it's so funny. So Fox thirteen Salt Lake City. 0:17:47.320 --> 0:17:50.720 That's a great station. And it's funny when people travel 0:17:50.720 --> 0:17:52.359 because most people we don't make a big deal of 0:17:52.359 --> 0:17:54.280 the fact that I'm on a bunch of different stations. 0:17:54.359 --> 0:17:57.399 So people can be watching on KTLA and have no idea. 0:17:57.480 --> 0:17:59.280 But then they travel to other cities and they're like, 0:17:59.400 --> 0:18:01.240 oh is my hotel room and I saw you, So 0:18:01.960 --> 0:18:04.080 thanks for watching on Fox thirteen. That's pretty cool. I 0:18:04.160 --> 0:18:06.560 love Carry and Dan over there. What's going on? 0:18:08.440 --> 0:18:12.760 You know? I'm curious and maybe this is just wishful thinking, 0:18:12.840 --> 0:18:14.960 but do you ever see the headphone jack coming back 0:18:15.000 --> 0:18:15.720 to the iPhone? 0:18:16.480 --> 0:18:16.640 Oh? 0:18:16.960 --> 0:18:20.520 That is wishful thinking, don't I don't see that happening. 0:18:20.640 --> 0:18:22.439 Here's the thing I mean, we have to look at 0:18:22.440 --> 0:18:26.119 Apple's past. So Apple has a history of getting rid 0:18:26.160 --> 0:18:29.040 of things on their devices and being the first to 0:18:29.080 --> 0:18:31.520 get rid of them and never looking back. So when 0:18:31.560 --> 0:18:35.240 you think about I think the DVD player was probably 0:18:35.320 --> 0:18:36.680 the first thing that they got rid of on the 0:18:36.720 --> 0:18:40.760 MacBook and literally people went nuts, myself included I'm like, 0:18:40.800 --> 0:18:42.840 how could you live without a DVD player or a 0:18:42.920 --> 0:18:46.600 DVD burner or a DVD recorder whatever? And to me, 0:18:46.760 --> 0:18:50.520 that was just insane. You remember that, right? And the 0:18:50.600 --> 0:18:53.760 other thing, the other thing Apple never did on their laptops. 0:18:53.800 --> 0:18:56.280 Everyone went to a Blu ray player on their laptops 0:18:56.320 --> 0:18:58.200 and Apple said, no, we're not doing that, and everyone 0:18:58.320 --> 0:18:59.920 was like, wait, are you crazy? How could you not 0:19:00.200 --> 0:19:04.520 Blu rays the next generation? But Apple has their reasons 0:19:04.600 --> 0:19:07.119 for things and the reason why they ditched the DVD players. 0:19:07.240 --> 0:19:10.080 They wanted to push everyone to digital movies. They wanted 0:19:10.119 --> 0:19:14.240 to create less piracy. They also saw people burning DVDs 0:19:14.359 --> 0:19:18.080 less I'm sure their data showed that, or sharing DVDs 0:19:18.200 --> 0:19:20.480 or whatever it was. They just knew that they could 0:19:20.560 --> 0:19:22.440 do without those and people would be fine. And I 0:19:22.480 --> 0:19:25.200 actually bought the external I have it somewhere in here 0:19:25.600 --> 0:19:26.040 my h. 0:19:29.359 --> 0:19:32.080 Yeah, I've got an external with the Blu ray burner 0:19:32.320 --> 0:19:33.199 that I love you thing. 0:19:33.640 --> 0:19:38.160 Yeah, I've got my Trustee external you know, Mac computer 0:19:38.760 --> 0:19:42.200 Player Blue DVD. I think this is a burner too. 0:19:42.359 --> 0:19:44.600 I'm sure it is. Haven't used it in a while, 0:19:45.040 --> 0:19:47.000 but you know, I bought one of those, so I 0:19:47.119 --> 0:19:49.520
