WEBVTT - Movies Anywhere Expands; Hue Makes Outdoor Lights

0:00:04.480 --> 0:00:07.960
<v Speaker 1>More digital movies in more places. I'm Rich Demiro. This

0:00:08.200 --> 0:00:12.040
<v Speaker 1>is Rich on Tech Daily. Fandango Now is joining Movies

0:00:12.119 --> 0:00:14.840
<v Speaker 1>Anywhere Now. If you're not familiar with Movies Anywhere, this

0:00:14.920 --> 0:00:17.880
<v Speaker 1>is a really cool app that basically syncs up your

0:00:17.920 --> 0:00:20.759
<v Speaker 1>movie collection. It makes all the movies that you buy,

0:00:20.840 --> 0:00:22.599
<v Speaker 1>or I should say most of the movies that you

0:00:22.640 --> 0:00:27.400
<v Speaker 1>buy from iTunes, Amazon, Voodoo, Google, and now Fandango now

0:00:27.640 --> 0:00:30.640
<v Speaker 1>available in each other's library. So what does that mean. Well,

0:00:30.680 --> 0:00:32.839
<v Speaker 1>you can buy a movie on Amazon and watch it

0:00:32.880 --> 0:00:36.479
<v Speaker 1>on your iPad through basically Apple's TV app, which is

0:00:36.520 --> 0:00:39.240
<v Speaker 1>really nice. They have most of the major studios on board,

0:00:39.240 --> 0:00:43.360
<v Speaker 1>including Sony, Disney, Fox, Universal, Warner Brothers, so it works

0:00:43.360 --> 0:00:46.200
<v Speaker 1>with almost every movie you buy. Paramount is not part

0:00:46.200 --> 0:00:48.520
<v Speaker 1>of the team just yet, but I have a feeling

0:00:48.520 --> 0:00:50.839
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna have to join because this thing is really powerful.

0:00:50.960 --> 0:00:53.920
<v Speaker 1>Fandango Now launched in twenty sixteen. It's probably one of

0:00:54.000 --> 0:00:58.080
<v Speaker 1>the lesser used movie collection libraries, i'd say, but they

0:00:58.080 --> 0:01:02.440
<v Speaker 1>do have a large collection of ultra HD movies. I

0:01:02.520 --> 0:01:05.280
<v Speaker 1>have been loving Movies Anywhere since it launched because it's

0:01:05.280 --> 0:01:08.240
<v Speaker 1>given me more confidence to buy digital copies of movies.

0:01:08.600 --> 0:01:10.440
<v Speaker 1>Because now I know that if I buy a movie

0:01:10.520 --> 0:01:13.200
<v Speaker 1>on iTunes, I can still watch it on fireTV, my

0:01:13.280 --> 0:01:16.200
<v Speaker 1>Android phone or basically wherever you can get the Movies

0:01:16.240 --> 0:01:19.240
<v Speaker 1>Anywhere app or the native app, because that's the thing.

0:01:19.280 --> 0:01:22.120
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't just put the movie in the Movies Anywhere app,

0:01:22.120 --> 0:01:24.080
<v Speaker 1>but actually puts it in the native app. So if

0:01:24.120 --> 0:01:26.520
<v Speaker 1>you buy the movie through Amazon, you'll see it in

0:01:26.560 --> 0:01:29.480
<v Speaker 1>your Google Play account and vice versa. This is really

0:01:29.520 --> 0:01:31.920
<v Speaker 1>cool and I love to see that they continue to expand.

0:01:31.959 --> 0:01:34.039
<v Speaker 1>So check it out Movies Anywhere, all right. Next up

0:01:34.080 --> 0:01:37.440
<v Speaker 1>Apple buying the magazine app Texture. This is sort of

0:01:37.440 --> 0:01:40.800
<v Speaker 1>like Netflix but for magazines. So for ten dollars a month,

0:01:40.840 --> 0:01:43.760
<v Speaker 1>you get two hundred more than two hundred digital magazines,

0:01:43.800 --> 0:01:47.880
<v Speaker 1>and they've got all the big titles represented like People, Esquire, Time,

0:01:48.080 --> 0:01:51.760
<v Speaker 1>Entertainment Weekly, Real, simple Readers, Digest. But keep in mind,

0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:53.680
<v Speaker 1>for that ten dollars a month, you don't get a

0:01:53.720 --> 0:01:56.960
<v Speaker 1>lot of those weekly magazines like People and Time. Those

0:01:57.080 --> 0:01:59.880
<v Speaker 1>require a premium account, which is about fifteen dollars a month.

0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:02.240
<v Speaker 1>And really, what Apple's doing here is they are making

0:02:02.240 --> 0:02:04.360
<v Speaker 1>a bold move kind of an affront to the whole

0:02:04.440 --> 0:02:07.840
<v Speaker 1>fake news thing. Here's the quote from eddieq, Apple Senior

0:02:07.880 --> 0:02:11.359
<v Speaker 1>vice president of Internet Software and Services. In a statement

0:02:11.440 --> 0:02:14.080
<v Speaker 1>to tech Crunch, he said, we're excited Texture is going

0:02:14.160 --> 0:02:16.960
<v Speaker 1>to join Apple, along with an impressive catalog of magazines

0:02:17.000 --> 0:02:20.360
<v Speaker 1>for many of the world's leading publishers. We are committed

0:02:20.400 --> 0:02:24.960
<v Speaker 1>to quality journalism from trusted sources and allowing magazines to

0:02:25.040 --> 0:02:29.600
<v Speaker 1>keep producing beautifully designed and engaging stories for users. I

0:02:29.680 --> 0:02:32.359
<v Speaker 1>was a subscriber for many years of Texture. My favorite

0:02:32.400 --> 0:02:34.960
<v Speaker 1>feature was really their search engine. So let me tell

0:02:34.960 --> 0:02:37.200
<v Speaker 1>you how that works. Let's say you're traveling to a place.

0:02:37.600 --> 0:02:40.240
<v Speaker 1>You can see all the articles written about that place.

0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:41.919
<v Speaker 1>So if it's like, you know, Hawaii and you're going

0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:43.640
<v Speaker 1>to a certain islands, you can read about all the

0:02:43.639 --> 0:02:46.280
<v Speaker 1>cool places that these magazines have written about. Or maybe

0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:48.560
<v Speaker 1>you like a particular celebrity, you can search for that

0:02:48.560 --> 0:02:52.079
<v Speaker 1>celebrities name and see a wide variety of articles written

0:02:52.080 --> 0:02:55.200
<v Speaker 1>about them, things they like, whatever. Right now, Apple saying

0:02:55.240 --> 0:02:57.880
<v Speaker 1>it's not going to change much about Texture right now,

0:02:58.160 --> 0:03:01.160
<v Speaker 1>but I can see a lot more people subscribing because

0:03:01.200 --> 0:03:03.920
<v Speaker 1>think about all the new marketing that Texture is going

0:03:04.000 --> 0:03:06.000
<v Speaker 1>to get in the app Store, and of course the

0:03:06.040 --> 0:03:09.280
<v Speaker 1>ease of subscription with Apple Pay and iTunes, so I

0:03:09.280 --> 0:03:12.320
<v Speaker 1>think that's a good thing, and there's some great magazines

0:03:12.320 --> 0:03:14.920
<v Speaker 1>on there. Personally, I could not keep up my subscription

0:03:15.040 --> 0:03:17.799
<v Speaker 1>because I just found that there was so much stuff

0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:20.560
<v Speaker 1>to read on texture that I would literally do nothing

0:03:20.600 --> 0:03:23.400
<v Speaker 1>else on my iPad. I would literally every free moment

0:03:23.440 --> 0:03:25.720
<v Speaker 1>I had just look at these magazines because there are

0:03:25.720 --> 0:03:27.120
<v Speaker 1>so many of them, and it kept me from doing

0:03:27.160 --> 0:03:31.400
<v Speaker 1>other stuff. But otherwise really really cool offering. All right. Finally, today,

0:03:31.440 --> 0:03:34.120
<v Speaker 1>Phillips Hugh coming out with new outdoor versions of its

0:03:34.160 --> 0:03:37.960
<v Speaker 1>smart light bulbs. So three different types of lights, wall

0:03:38.000 --> 0:03:42.240
<v Speaker 1>mounted luminaires, a new unique spotlight which is called the

0:03:42.800 --> 0:03:45.080
<v Speaker 1>Lily and this can be used as like, you know,

0:03:45.160 --> 0:03:48.120
<v Speaker 1>to highlight things in your garden like flowerbeds, and that's

0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:50.720
<v Speaker 1>going to be a light that changes to sixteen million

0:03:50.760 --> 0:03:54.360
<v Speaker 1>different colors. And then there's the Phillips Hugh Kella, which

0:03:54.400 --> 0:03:56.240
<v Speaker 1>is sort of a path light, and you can also

0:03:56.320 --> 0:03:58.720
<v Speaker 1>use it to sort of just enhance your outdoor space,

0:03:58.880 --> 0:04:02.560
<v Speaker 1>and that also just colors as well. Phillip's Hue lights

0:04:02.600 --> 0:04:05.200
<v Speaker 1>are really cool. They sort of created this entire genre

0:04:05.280 --> 0:04:08.280
<v Speaker 1>of smart color changing light bulbs. You can control them

0:04:08.320 --> 0:04:11.000
<v Speaker 1>with your voice. You can control them on a schedule,

0:04:11.160 --> 0:04:12.760
<v Speaker 1>or you can make routines like I have. Some of

0:04:12.800 --> 0:04:14.760
<v Speaker 1>my lights in my dining room come on and off

0:04:14.760 --> 0:04:17.680
<v Speaker 1>with the sunrise and sunset. So the pricing starts at

0:04:17.720 --> 0:04:21.120
<v Speaker 1>thirty dollars a bulb. But these things can get expensive.

0:04:21.160 --> 0:04:23.480
<v Speaker 1>The pathlights can run one hundred and thirty dollars. Doesn't

0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:25.240
<v Speaker 1>say how many you get for that. It might be

0:04:25.360 --> 0:04:28.440
<v Speaker 1>just one. The spotlights, it's two hundred and eighty dollars

0:04:28.480 --> 0:04:30.920
<v Speaker 1>for a three pack. They will launch in the US

0:04:30.960 --> 0:04:33.000
<v Speaker 1>in July. All right. If you want more information, you
