1 00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:07,960 Speaker 1: More digital movies in more places. I'm Rich Demiro. This 2 00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:12,040 Speaker 1: is Rich on Tech Daily. Fandango Now is joining Movies 3 00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:14,840 Speaker 1: Anywhere Now. If you're not familiar with Movies Anywhere, this 4 00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:17,880 Speaker 1: is a really cool app that basically syncs up your 5 00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:20,759 Speaker 1: movie collection. It makes all the movies that you buy, 6 00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:22,599 Speaker 1: or I should say most of the movies that you 7 00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:27,400 Speaker 1: buy from iTunes, Amazon, Voodoo, Google, and now Fandango now 8 00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:30,640 Speaker 1: available in each other's library. So what does that mean. Well, 9 00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:32,839 Speaker 1: you can buy a movie on Amazon and watch it 10 00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:36,479 Speaker 1: on your iPad through basically Apple's TV app, which is 11 00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:39,240 Speaker 1: really nice. They have most of the major studios on board, 12 00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:43,360 Speaker 1: including Sony, Disney, Fox, Universal, Warner Brothers, so it works 13 00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:46,200 Speaker 1: with almost every movie you buy. Paramount is not part 14 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:48,520 Speaker 1: of the team just yet, but I have a feeling 15 00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:50,839 Speaker 1: they're gonna have to join because this thing is really powerful. 16 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,920 Speaker 1: Fandango Now launched in twenty sixteen. It's probably one of 17 00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:58,080 Speaker 1: the lesser used movie collection libraries, i'd say, but they 18 00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:02,440 Speaker 1: do have a large collection of ultra HD movies. I 19 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:05,280 Speaker 1: have been loving Movies Anywhere since it launched because it's 20 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:08,240 Speaker 1: given me more confidence to buy digital copies of movies. 21 00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:10,440 Speaker 1: Because now I know that if I buy a movie 22 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,200 Speaker 1: on iTunes, I can still watch it on fireTV, my 23 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,200 Speaker 1: Android phone or basically wherever you can get the Movies 24 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 1: Anywhere app or the native app, because that's the thing. 25 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:22,120 Speaker 1: It doesn't just put the movie in the Movies Anywhere app, 26 00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 1: but actually puts it in the native app. So if 27 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,520 Speaker 1: you buy the movie through Amazon, you'll see it in 28 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,480 Speaker 1: your Google Play account and vice versa. This is really 29 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:31,920 Speaker 1: cool and I love to see that they continue to expand. 30 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,039 Speaker 1: So check it out Movies Anywhere, all right. Next up 31 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 1: Apple buying the magazine app Texture. This is sort of 32 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 1: like Netflix but for magazines. So for ten dollars a month, 33 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,760 Speaker 1: you get two hundred more than two hundred digital magazines, 34 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:47,880 Speaker 1: and they've got all the big titles represented like People, Esquire, Time, 35 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 1: Entertainment Weekly, Real, simple Readers, Digest. But keep in mind, 36 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 1: for that ten dollars a month, you don't get a 37 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,960 Speaker 1: lot of those weekly magazines like People and Time. Those 38 00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 1: require a premium account, which is about fifteen dollars a month. 39 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,240 Speaker 1: And really, what Apple's doing here is they are making 40 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 1: a bold move kind of an affront to the whole 41 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 1: fake news thing. Here's the quote from eddieq, Apple Senior 42 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:11,359 Speaker 1: vice president of Internet Software and Services. In a statement 43 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,080 Speaker 1: to tech Crunch, he said, we're excited Texture is going 44 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,960 Speaker 1: to join Apple, along with an impressive catalog of magazines 45 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,360 Speaker 1: for many of the world's leading publishers. We are committed 46 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:24,960 Speaker 1: to quality journalism from trusted sources and allowing magazines to 47 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 1: keep producing beautifully designed and engaging stories for users. I 48 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,359 Speaker 1: was a subscriber for many years of Texture. My favorite 49 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,960 Speaker 1: feature was really their search engine. So let me tell 50 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 1: you how that works. Let's say you're traveling to a place. 51 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,240 Speaker 1: You can see all the articles written about that place. 52 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:41,919 Speaker 1: So if it's like, you know, Hawaii and you're going 53 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:43,640 Speaker 1: to a certain islands, you can read about all the 54 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 1: cool places that these magazines have written about. Or maybe 55 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 1: you like a particular celebrity, you can search for that 56 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:52,079 Speaker 1: celebrities name and see a wide variety of articles written 57 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 1: about them, things they like, whatever. Right now, Apple saying 58 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 1: it's not going to change much about Texture right now, 59 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,160 Speaker 1: but I can see a lot more people subscribing because 60 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,920 Speaker 1: think about all the new marketing that Texture is going 61 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,000 Speaker 1: to get in the app Store, and of course the 62 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 1: ease of subscription with Apple Pay and iTunes, so I 63 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 1: think that's a good thing, and there's some great magazines 64 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,920 Speaker 1: on there. Personally, I could not keep up my subscription 65 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,799 Speaker 1: because I just found that there was so much stuff 66 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 1: to read on texture that I would literally do nothing 67 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 1: else on my iPad. I would literally every free moment 68 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 1: I had just look at these magazines because there are 69 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 1: so many of them, and it kept me from doing 70 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 1: other stuff. But otherwise really really cool offering. All right. Finally, today, 71 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 1: Phillips Hugh coming out with new outdoor versions of its 72 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 1: smart light bulbs. So three different types of lights, wall 73 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 1: mounted luminaires, a new unique spotlight which is called the 74 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 1: Lily and this can be used as like, you know, 75 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 1: to highlight things in your garden like flowerbeds, and that's 76 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 1: going to be a light that changes to sixteen million 77 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 1: different colors. And then there's the Phillips Hugh Kella, which 78 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 1: is sort of a path light, and you can also 79 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,720 Speaker 1: use it to sort of just enhance your outdoor space, 80 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 1: and that also just colors as well. Phillip's Hue lights 81 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 1: are really cool. They sort of created this entire genre 82 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 1: of smart color changing light bulbs. You can control them 83 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 1: with your voice. You can control them on a schedule, 84 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 1: or you can make routines like I have. Some of 85 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 1: my lights in my dining room come on and off 86 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,680 Speaker 1: with the sunrise and sunset. So the pricing starts at 87 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 1: thirty dollars a bulb. But these things can get expensive. 88 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,480 Speaker 1: The pathlights can run one hundred and thirty dollars. Doesn't 89 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 1: say how many you get for that. It might be 90 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 1: just one.
