Disney teases a killer bundle, Amazon has a 0:00:12.800 --> 0:00:16.439 music deal for students, and new Verizon plans guaranteed to 0:00:16.480 --> 0:00:20.840 confuse you. Plus I'm answering your pressing tech questions. What's 0:00:20.880 --> 0:00:23.800 going on? I'm Rich Demiro. This is Rich on Tech, 0:00:23.960 --> 0:00:26.160 the podcast where I talk about the stuff I think 0:00:26.440 --> 0:00:29.120 you should know about happening in the tech world. It's 0:00:29.160 --> 0:00:31.520 also the place where I answer the tech questions you 0:00:31.600 --> 0:00:36.040 send me, whether it's through email, my website, Facebook, Instagram, 0:00:36.440 --> 0:00:39.200 DM however you get in touch with me, I answer 0:00:39.280 --> 0:00:42.159 your questions right here in the show. I'm coming to 0:00:42.200 --> 0:00:44.920 you now from Brooklyn, where I just got out of 0:00:44.920 --> 0:00:47.400 the Samsung event. It's a rainy day here in Brooklyn, 0:00:47.440 --> 0:00:49.680 but it was a good show and fun to see 0:00:49.720 --> 0:00:53.800 what the company unveiled. Producer Megan meanwhile is on vacation 0:00:54.040 --> 0:00:57.480 in Hawaii. She will be joining us on the next show. 0:00:57.600 --> 0:00:59.960 So the show must go on here from New York. 0:01:00.160 --> 0:01:04.480 And let's just start with samsung big event here at 0:01:04.560 --> 0:01:08.160 the Barclay Center in Brooklyn, where the company unveiled the 0:01:08.200 --> 0:01:10.960 Galaxy Note ten. There's been lots of leaks about the phone, 0:01:10.959 --> 0:01:13.000 but now we know officially. 0:01:12.760 --> 0:01:14.600 What the device is all about. 0:01:14.920 --> 0:01:16.560 Plus I had a chance to go hands on with 0:01:16.600 --> 0:01:20.800 the device last week up in San Francisco, and it's 0:01:20.840 --> 0:01:21.680 a good looking. 0:01:21.400 --> 0:01:22.720 Device, it really is. 0:01:22.880 --> 0:01:25.640 They did a very nice job on the design of 0:01:25.680 --> 0:01:28.759 the Note ten, and for the first time ever, there 0:01:28.760 --> 0:01:32.399 are actually two sizes of the Note ten, and if 0:01:32.400 --> 0:01:36.080 you're counting for reels, there's kind of like three of 0:01:36.160 --> 0:01:39.240 these devices because there's a Note ten, there's a Note 0:01:39.319 --> 0:01:41.480 ten Plus, which has a bigger screen, and then there's 0:01:41.480 --> 0:01:44.280 a Note ten plus five G say all that three 0:01:44.319 --> 0:01:47.119 times fast, so quickly breaking it down, the Note ten 0:01:47.480 --> 0:01:50.160 is the standard model, which has a six point three 0:01:50.240 --> 0:01:52.920 inch screen. The Note ten Plus has a six point 0:01:53.000 --> 0:01:55.840 eight inch screen. It just seems like if you add 0:01:55.920 --> 0:01:58.560 up all these devices that Samsung has, between the S 0:01:58.640 --> 0:02:02.600 ten and the Note ten and all of their lower phones, 0:02:02.720 --> 0:02:04.640 they have a lot to choose from, and it just 0:02:04.640 --> 0:02:08.000 seems like they are making something for everyone, no matter 0:02:08.040 --> 0:02:10.960 what your price range is or what features you want. 0:02:11.880 --> 0:02:16.000 Spoiler alert, there is one feature that is gone from 0:02:17.200 --> 0:02:20.280 the Note ten lineup, and that is the headphone jack. 0:02:20.680 --> 0:02:22.800 So there is no more headphone jack on both the 0:02:22.840 --> 0:02:25.760 Note ten or the Note ten plus. Some of you 0:02:26.000 --> 0:02:28.760 will be sad about that, and I'm kind of mixed. 0:02:29.000 --> 0:02:31.760 I use Bluetooth headphones ninety nine percent of the time, 0:02:31.760 --> 0:02:34.160 but there are those random times when it would be 0:02:34.240 --> 0:02:36.280 nice to just be able to plug in something to 0:02:36.320 --> 0:02:38.799 your phone. But we're not here to debate whether that's 0:02:38.840 --> 0:02:41.200 coming back or going away forever. But I think it's 0:02:41.240 --> 0:02:43.680 pretty much gone forever. If you look at the front 0:02:43.680 --> 0:02:46.040 of these devices, they are just beautiful, and the back 0:02:46.480 --> 0:02:50.480 they have this great display that just goes truly edge 0:02:50.520 --> 0:02:53.160 to edge. They really push the boundaries of just how 0:02:53.240 --> 0:02:55.960 far these screens can go to the edges. And the 0:02:55.960 --> 0:02:58.720 only thing that's really interrupting the front screen on the 0:02:58.720 --> 0:03:02.440 Notes is a tiny selfie cam on the front. So 0:03:02.480 --> 0:03:05.200 you've got that ten megapixel camera on the front, and 0:03:05.240 --> 0:03:07.800 then on the back you've got a three camera array, 0:03:08.320 --> 0:03:12.000 which is a wide angle lens, a standard lens, and 0:03:12.000 --> 0:03:15.160 then a telephoto lens. And it's gotten to the point 0:03:15.160 --> 0:03:18.360 where nobody even mentions the megapixels on these things because 0:03:19.160 --> 0:03:21.200 we're no longer interested in that. It either takes a 0:03:21.240 --> 0:03:23.720 good picture or it doesn't take a good picture. And 0:03:23.800 --> 0:03:26.760 these phones are taking really nice pictures. I think it's 0:03:26.960 --> 0:03:29.720 pretty much the same cameras that are on the S 0:03:29.800 --> 0:03:33.480 ten and the S ten Plus, but the big difference 0:03:33.520 --> 0:03:35.880 here on the Note ten plus, you're kind of getting 0:03:36.120 --> 0:03:38.120 everything the best. So it used to be that the 0:03:38.160 --> 0:03:40.640 Note in general was always the best that Samsung had 0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:43.680 to offer, but now it's the Note ten Plus that 0:03:43.760 --> 0:03:45.600 has the best. So on the back you get an 0:03:45.640 --> 0:03:49.160 extra depth camera and you also get more memory, so 0:03:49.680 --> 0:03:52.960 eight gigabytes RAM on the Note ten with two fifty 0:03:53.000 --> 0:03:56.360 six storage, and on the Note ten Plus there's twelve 0:03:56.360 --> 0:03:59.320 gigabytes a RAM along with two fifty six gigs of 0:03:59.360 --> 0:04:02.880 storage or five hundred and twelve. And on the Note 0:04:02.960 --> 0:04:05.800 ten plus, if you want a memory card, it's there. 0:04:06.160 --> 0:04:08.560 It is not there on the Note ten. So again 0:04:08.560 --> 0:04:11.520 they're really dividing these two devices. So some of the 0:04:11.520 --> 0:04:13.680 main features they showed off this is more of an 0:04:13.720 --> 0:04:18.160 evolution than a revolution. So they have handwriting on there. 0:04:18.200 --> 0:04:21.080 They've got the stylist. Now the handwriting converts the text 0:04:21.120 --> 0:04:23.719 really quickly and you can export it to Microsoft Word. 0:04:24.320 --> 0:04:26.720 They do these weird things with the spen, which are 0:04:27.040 --> 0:04:29.600 actions which you can wave it around in the air 0:04:29.640 --> 0:04:32.200 and control things on your phone, kind of like before, 0:04:32.320 --> 0:04:34.640 except way more. I don't think anyone's gonna use that, 0:04:34.680 --> 0:04:37.279 to be honest. The video stuff is really cool, so 0:04:37.400 --> 0:04:40.120 if you're a video editor you're creating videos. They did 0:04:40.279 --> 0:04:43.160 some nice stuff there. They put a screen recorder built in, 0:04:43.680 --> 0:04:46.599 You've got a video editing app that's built in the 0:04:46.680 --> 0:04:49.640 microphone zooms in to the audio when you zoom in 0:04:49.760 --> 0:04:52.000 on the camera. And then they have this cool thing 0:04:52.040 --> 0:04:54.760 called live focus video, which is kind of like the 0:04:55.480 --> 0:04:58.320 live effect in a picture where you get that blurry background, 0:04:58.360 --> 0:05:01.119 but now they're doing that with video and that's pretty 0:05:01.160 --> 0:05:04.359 impressive as well. There's also some cool things where you 0:05:04.360 --> 0:05:07.599 can doodle on someone in three D and it shows 0:05:07.680 --> 0:05:08.200 up on them. 0:05:08.279 --> 0:05:09.080 That's kind of fun. 0:05:09.600 --> 0:05:12.159 And you can also charge this The Note ten plus 0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:14.919 at least faster than ever and now supports up to 0:05:15.000 --> 0:05:17.560 forty five watts of charging, which just means that it's 0:05:17.600 --> 0:05:20.680 really fast. The thing I'm most impressed with is the color. 0:05:21.160 --> 0:05:23.640 They have this cool aura glow color which is just 0:05:23.720 --> 0:05:25.560 so cool. It reminds me of when I was a kid, 0:05:25.600 --> 0:05:28.240 we had these stickers that were they kind of reflected 0:05:28.640 --> 0:05:30.920 the light in like a rainbow. They were like silver, 0:05:31.000 --> 0:05:33.880 and they reflected the light iridescent kind of thing. So 0:05:33.920 --> 0:05:36.720 they've got that color, which is really cool. They've got white, 0:05:36.760 --> 0:05:38.760 they've got black, and it's gonna be on all the 0:05:38.839 --> 0:05:42.719 major carriers on August twenty third is when it's in stores. 0:05:43.040 --> 0:05:44.480 Of course, pre orders start. 0:05:44.279 --> 0:05:47.320 Now and pricing is nine p fifty for the Note 0:05:47.400 --> 0:05:52.160 ten ten ninety nine ninety nine for the Galaxy Note 0:05:52.200 --> 0:05:54.000 ten Plus. And I love this. Whenever I'm at these events, 0:05:54.040 --> 0:05:56.039 I always round this up, so ten ninety nine becomes 0:05:56.040 --> 0:05:58.520 eleven hundred, and one of the Samsung people as I'm 0:05:58.560 --> 0:06:02.400 talking for TV is like you missed. You said eleven hundred, 0:06:02.760 --> 0:06:05.200 and I said, what do you mean, what I do wrong? 0:06:05.360 --> 0:06:07.800 He said, well, it's ten ninety nine ninety nine. I mean, 0:06:07.920 --> 0:06:10.520 come on, it's a penny more. I'm just rounding it up. 0:06:12.040 --> 0:06:12.599 As always. 0:06:12.600 --> 0:06:14.440 The best way to buy these things is really through 0:06:14.480 --> 0:06:17.400 the pre order, which you will get the best deal 0:06:17.440 --> 0:06:19.359 if you go to Samsung dot com and trade in 0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:21.520 your old phone. Of course, I'm sure the carriers will 0:06:21.560 --> 0:06:24.520 have some good deals as well. The other weird thing 0:06:24.520 --> 0:06:27.320 that Samsung's doing with these devices is they're not putting 0:06:27.360 --> 0:06:31.760 any in the hands of reviewers like myself until a 0:06:31.800 --> 0:06:34.320 week later, so we're not going to get our hands 0:06:34.320 --> 0:06:36.760 on these things for another week or so, which is 0:06:36.880 --> 0:06:39.039 kind of different because generally you get them and you 0:06:39.080 --> 0:06:42.760 start giving impressions of them immediately, but they're not doing that. 0:06:42.960 --> 0:06:46.960 So it'll be interesting to see if that theory works 0:06:47.000 --> 0:06:49.120 to sell more phones. I guess in the time that 0:06:49.200 --> 0:06:51.400 you don't really hear much about them, or I guess 0:06:51.440 --> 0:06:55.359 you don't really have much solid hands on time. All right, 0:06:55.440 --> 0:06:58.360 let's get to our first question. This comes from Janet McKinnon. 0:06:58.839 --> 0:07:02.880 Janet says, can you do a review on Anytime tv 0:07:02.960 --> 0:07:05.440 dot us? Is this better than a monthly cable bill? 0:07:05.800 --> 0:07:09.200 I understand it's just one seventy five a year, and 0:07:09.600 --> 0:07:11.960 could you do a review and email it? Can you 0:07:12.000 --> 0:07:14.600 recommend it or not? And also how to use it? 0:07:14.960 --> 0:07:20.120 Thank you, Janet. So I looked up Anytime TV dot 0:07:20.280 --> 0:07:22.680 us and I can tell you this number one. Do 0:07:23.840 --> 0:07:26.200 not even go near this thing. There are so many 0:07:26.280 --> 0:07:31.760 of these gray websites that are purporting to give free 0:07:31.800 --> 0:07:35.560 TV and thousands of channels and every premium movie channel 0:07:35.800 --> 0:07:38.760 reminds me of the just Scrambler boxes back in the day, 0:07:38.800 --> 0:07:41.800 the black boxes people still get those things now they're 0:07:41.840 --> 0:07:45.600 just using Amazon fireTV. I have not checked these things out. 0:07:45.880 --> 0:07:47.840 I looked at the list of channels that they offer 0:07:47.880 --> 0:07:51.360 on Anytime TV dot us and it's just it's every 0:07:51.440 --> 0:07:53.800 channel in the world and every movie in the world. 0:07:53.840 --> 0:07:55.720 How do you offer all that for one seventy five 0:07:55.760 --> 0:07:59.520 a year. Well, it's bogus. So stay away from these things, 0:07:59.680 --> 0:08:02.760 do not use them. They get shut down all the time. 0:08:02.800 --> 0:08:04.400 So you may pay your one to seventy five for 0:08:04.440 --> 0:08:07.200 the year and it may go under in the first week. 0:08:07.720 --> 0:08:11.760 So definitely don't do this. And also these are a 0:08:11.800 --> 0:08:15.240 lot of these things are either outright scams or all 0:08:15.280 --> 0:08:18.920 they're doing is linking to the public websites that you 0:08:18.920 --> 0:08:21.800 can stream stuff on anyway, and at the worst, they're 0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:25.320 linking to movies that are on BitTorrent sites, So you're 0:08:25.360 --> 0:08:29.160 getting stuff that is not official. It's not good, it's illegal, 0:08:29.240 --> 0:08:33.000 it's operating in a gray area. So I would stay 0:08:33.000 --> 0:08:34.880 away from these things. And I'm not just picking on 0:08:34.880 --> 0:08:37.960 this one. There's so many of them. As people are 0:08:38.000 --> 0:08:41.280 cutting the cord and they're looking for alternatives, they're looking 0:08:41.320 --> 0:08:43.719 into anything they can get that's cheaper than cable and 0:08:44.640 --> 0:08:47.079 you remember that old adage, if it sounds too good 0:08:47.080 --> 0:08:49.800 to be true, it probably is. Well, if you're paying 0:08:49.800 --> 0:08:51.880 one hundred and seventy five dollars a year, and when 0:08:51.920 --> 0:08:53.439 I used to have cable, it was one hundred and 0:08:53.440 --> 0:08:57.160 seventy five a month, something's wrong, especially when you're getting 0:08:57.480 --> 0:09:00.640 or promised every channel in the entire world world. 0:09:00.800 --> 0:09:02.880 So don't do it. Stay away. 0:09:03.240 --> 0:09:05.920 And it's not just because it's in a gray zone. 0:09:05.960 --> 0:09:09.920 It's just not good, not good at all. Let's talk 0:09:09.920 --> 0:09:13.200 more about Samsung. They also unveiled several other things at 0:09:13.240 --> 0:09:17.760 their event, including the galaxy Watch Active two. This is 0:09:17.760 --> 0:09:20.160 a new version of their smart watch that they sort 0:09:20.200 --> 0:09:23.480 of just released, I feel like very recently. But the 0:09:23.520 --> 0:09:27.839 galaxy Watch Active two is further refined, as they say, 0:09:28.240 --> 0:09:30.520 and this is the closest competitor, I'd say to the 0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:33.720 Apple Watch. There's not many smart watches that are really 0:09:33.760 --> 0:09:37.880 approaching the functionality of the Apple Watch. But the galaxy 0:09:37.880 --> 0:09:41.040 Watch Active two looks really nice and it has a 0:09:41.040 --> 0:09:43.400 lot of the features that you need. So it tracks 0:09:43.400 --> 0:09:45.600 your sleep, attracks your fitness, it even tells you when 0:09:45.640 --> 0:09:48.600 you're stressed. Out comes in two different sizes, a forty 0:09:48.600 --> 0:09:51.839 four milimeter and a forty millimeter And the main thing 0:09:51.880 --> 0:09:56.040 that's different on this is the signature rotating bezel that 0:09:56.080 --> 0:09:59.080 they have. It is now digital, so it doesn't actually 0:09:59.160 --> 0:10:03.000 physically rotate. You just kind of spin your finger around 0:10:03.360 --> 0:10:06.679 the screen to navigate on the watch, and by the way, 0:10:06.720 --> 0:10:10.240 you can navigate forward or backwards. The screen is really beautiful. 0:10:10.520 --> 0:10:14.160 I still think that the Apple Watch. The physical look 0:10:14.280 --> 0:10:17.480 of the Galaxy Watch is very nice. I think that 0:10:17.559 --> 0:10:20.320 the look on the screen is not as polished as 0:10:20.360 --> 0:10:23.320 the Apple Watch. But at the same time, if you 0:10:23.400 --> 0:10:26.840 have an Android device, especially a Samsung phone, this is 0:10:26.880 --> 0:10:30.079 going to complement it very nicely. There's also this interesting 0:10:30.080 --> 0:10:32.800 feature called my Style. You take a picture of your 0:10:32.920 --> 0:10:36.400 outfit that you're wearing, and your watch face will change 0:10:36.440 --> 0:10:38.880 to sort of match it up, which is kind of fun. 0:10:39.200 --> 0:10:42.800 It manually tracks more than thirty nine different workouts, with 0:10:43.000 --> 0:10:47.040 seven of them automatically activate it, so if you're running, walking, cycling, swimming, 0:10:47.280 --> 0:10:51.840 rowing on the elliptical, or doing a workout, dynamic workout, 0:10:51.880 --> 0:10:54.880 whatever that is, it will automatically start to track those. 0:10:54.920 --> 0:10:58.960 The rest you have to manually track, and it also 0:10:59.120 --> 0:11:01.800 tracks your real time stress levels and the one thing 0:11:01.800 --> 0:11:05.880 it has that the Apple Watch does not is sleep analysis, 0:11:05.920 --> 0:11:08.079 So the Apple Watch does not do anything with sleep 0:11:08.160 --> 0:11:13.240 right now, but the Galaxy Watch Active two does. Man, 0:11:13.280 --> 0:11:16.120 that's such a mouthful for that name. It also has 0:11:16.240 --> 0:11:19.400 LTE connectivity, a version of it with LTE, so you 0:11:19.400 --> 0:11:21.959 can get that, and apparently you're gonna be able to 0:11:22.000 --> 0:11:24.560 watch YouTube on here, so I can't wait to see 0:11:24.679 --> 0:11:25.440 how that works. 0:11:25.720 --> 0:11:25.840 Now. 0:11:25.840 --> 0:11:28.040 I'm reading through the release here and it says you 0:11:28.080 --> 0:11:30.760 can watch a short video clip right from your wrist, 0:11:30.920 --> 0:11:33.320 so I'm not sure if it's full YouTube or just 0:11:33.400 --> 0:11:36.840 certain YouTube videos that are supported. This watch will start 0:11:36.840 --> 0:11:40.160 at two seventy nine two eighty for the forty millimeter 0:11:40.280 --> 0:11:43.440 and three hundred for the forty four milimeter beginning September 0:11:43.480 --> 0:11:47.319 twenty seventh. If you want the LTE version, it's a 0:11:47.360 --> 0:11:49.920 little bit more. I believe it was for something. I 0:11:49.920 --> 0:11:51.920 have a picture I got to look at, but don't 0:11:52.000 --> 0:11:54.040 quote me on that. But it's gonna be a little 0:11:54.040 --> 0:11:58.679 bit more expensive, all right. Next question comes from Scott 0:11:59.040 --> 0:12:01.120 Hey Rich, I'm looking at the cord with my cable 0:12:01.160 --> 0:12:04.160 service spectrum, but that leads me dependent on internet service, 0:12:04.520 --> 0:12:06.319 of which mine is very unreliable. 0:12:06.520 --> 0:12:07.160 Spectrum. 0:12:07.240 --> 0:12:09.960 Can you recommend any Internet services that are reliable and 0:12:10.080 --> 0:12:11.920 constant in the Huntington. 0:12:11.440 --> 0:12:12.920 Beach, California area? 0:12:13.040 --> 0:12:17.000 Scott so Scott most of the time, and I'm sure 0:12:17.040 --> 0:12:19.440 you figured this out by now. There are not many 0:12:19.520 --> 0:12:23.480 options for cable, or i should say, for internet. 0:12:23.080 --> 0:12:23.720 Where you'll live. 0:12:23.920 --> 0:12:27.720 Usually there are best case scenario two options. Sometimes you 0:12:27.760 --> 0:12:30.360 have a combination of something like the standard cable company 0:12:30.400 --> 0:12:33.440 along with the phone company, depending on how much they've 0:12:33.440 --> 0:12:34.520 wired your neighborhood. 0:12:34.920 --> 0:12:37.400 So you can have Spectrum. 0:12:36.960 --> 0:12:39.559 And you might have AT and T and you can 0:12:39.600 --> 0:12:42.080 compare those against each other. So there's a website that 0:12:42.080 --> 0:12:45.280 you can look at called high Speed Internet dot Com 0:12:45.960 --> 0:12:48.760 and they will you pop in your zip code and 0:12:48.800 --> 0:12:49.559 they will tell. 0:12:49.400 --> 0:12:50.560 You if. 0:12:51.880 --> 0:12:55.280 Let me see what Huntington Beach hun tang two. I'm 0:12:55.280 --> 0:12:58.160 seeing what your zip code is in Huntington Beach, and 0:12:58.200 --> 0:13:01.760 I'll pop it in here and we'll see if there's 0:13:01.800 --> 0:13:06.800 anything in your area with respect to these providers. So 0:13:06.880 --> 0:13:10.439 high Speed Internet dot Com has So you have Frontier 0:13:10.800 --> 0:13:13.760 and Spectrum, so that's pretty good. Those are two different 0:13:14.240 --> 0:13:16.720 choices that you do have, and one's fib or one's cable. 0:13:17.080 --> 0:13:19.800 So that's what you have and this will tell you 0:13:19.840 --> 0:13:22.480 the plans that they have and what's available in your 0:13:22.679 --> 0:13:26.640 area high speed Internet dot com. And so I would 0:13:26.679 --> 0:13:28.840 check that and see what you got, and I would 0:13:28.880 --> 0:13:31.800 go with the lesser of the two evils, because right 0:13:31.840 --> 0:13:34.720 now most of the time it's a lesser of two evils. 0:13:34.800 --> 0:13:37.600 I'm perfectly happy with my spectrum coverage. I think my 0:13:37.640 --> 0:13:40.520 spectrum is fine. I've got one hundred down. I don't 0:13:40.559 --> 0:13:42.760 like the price I pay like sixty five dollars a month. 0:13:43.000 --> 0:13:45.120 It used to be forty five, and it used to 0:13:45.120 --> 0:13:47.800 be like thirty back in the day. But now that 0:13:48.000 --> 0:13:50.200 the price for Internet is going up because all these 0:13:50.440 --> 0:13:53.280 internet providers know that you're cutting the cord, and so 0:13:53.600 --> 0:13:55.560 they raise the price on the internet to make up 0:13:55.559 --> 0:13:58.400 for the price that they're losing on the cable service. 0:13:58.760 --> 0:14:01.640 But again, high speed in com is the place to 0:14:01.720 --> 0:14:05.760 look to see what's available in your area and compare them. 0:14:06.040 --> 0:14:07.680 And I think that a lot of this is going 0:14:07.760 --> 0:14:09.880 to change when five G comes out in a big 0:14:09.920 --> 0:14:14.440 way because now the wireless companies like the AT and 0:14:14.440 --> 0:14:17.120 T's of the world and the Verizons will be able 0:14:17.200 --> 0:14:22.160 to deliver home high speed internet through wireless, which means 0:14:22.200 --> 0:14:26.520 they can blanket the entire nation in high speed internet, 0:14:26.560 --> 0:14:30.320 which is going to drive competition with the wired company. 0:14:30.480 --> 0:14:32.840 So suddenly you're going to see a premium for the 0:14:32.840 --> 0:14:35.120 wireless or you're going to see lower prices for the 0:14:35.120 --> 0:14:39.400 wireless perhaps. But then of course as time goes on 0:14:39.440 --> 0:14:42.120 and more people switch, things will level out. But when 0:14:42.240 --> 0:14:44.880 five G comes out, we will see some good competition, 0:14:44.920 --> 0:14:47.760 which will be good for all of our pocketbooks and 0:14:47.880 --> 0:14:51.120 wallets because the prices will drive down just a little 0:14:51.160 --> 0:14:54.960 bit before they level out later on. Speaking of cable, 0:14:55.200 --> 0:15:01.200 Disney has unveiled a bundle which includes it's Disney Plus, 0:15:01.320 --> 0:15:04.960 which is their upcoming Disney streaming service, along with Hulu 0:15:05.200 --> 0:15:08.920 and ESPN Plus. That is all going to be bundled 0:15:09.000 --> 0:15:12.920 for twelve ninety nine a month starting on November twelfth, 0:15:13.680 --> 0:15:15.400 thirteen dollars a month. 0:15:15.240 --> 0:15:17.200 For a lot of stuff. 0:15:17.680 --> 0:15:20.480 You're talking Disney Plus, which is going to have all 0:15:20.560 --> 0:15:24.880 kinds of Disney content for your kids, family programming. Then 0:15:24.920 --> 0:15:28.520 you've got Hulu, which this is the kind of the standard, 0:15:28.560 --> 0:15:32.400 low end ad supported Hulu, so not the expensive plan 0:15:32.560 --> 0:15:36.200 has no commercials, or the Hulu with live TV. This 0:15:36.400 --> 0:15:38.840 is the cheaper version, or I should say, the cheapest 0:15:38.880 --> 0:15:42.800 version of Hulu. So it's not fantastic, but it's a start, 0:15:42.920 --> 0:15:44.360 and it's there, and it gives you a lot of 0:15:44.360 --> 0:15:47.920 the primetime TV shows. Then you also get ESPN Plus. 0:15:47.920 --> 0:15:49.640 I'm not a sports guy, so I don't really know 0:15:49.680 --> 0:15:51.720 what that's what they have on there, but I'm sure 0:15:51.720 --> 0:15:53.400 they have a lot of games and things like that 0:15:53.520 --> 0:15:55.800 on there, and a lot of documentaries and stuff. I 0:15:55.800 --> 0:16:00.120 don't think ESPN Plus will have all of the best games, 0:16:00.280 --> 0:16:02.920 like you're not gonna just survive if you love sports 0:16:02.920 --> 0:16:05.920 on ESPN Plus. But for thirteen dollars a month, this 0:16:06.040 --> 0:16:08.520 is very compelling, and my theory is that they are 0:16:08.560 --> 0:16:11.520 starting out very aggressively to compete with all the other 0:16:11.600 --> 0:16:15.520 offerings out there. So, for instance, you have Netflix, You've 0:16:15.520 --> 0:16:17.800 got Direct TV now, all these other things that people 0:16:18.040 --> 0:16:21.960 cobble together for their cable nowadays. But this is a 0:16:22.640 --> 0:16:25.600 This covers a lot of bases. You've got Disney for 0:16:25.640 --> 0:16:28.040 the family, You've got Hulu for mom and dad. When 0:16:28.040 --> 0:16:30.240 the kids go to sleep, they can watch the primetime shows. 0:16:30.400 --> 0:16:33.000 Then you've got ESPN Plus for the weekends when you 0:16:33.000 --> 0:16:35.080 want to watch some of the sporting events. So for 0:16:35.160 --> 0:16:38.400 thirteen dollars. That's not a bad deal. My thought is 0:16:38.440 --> 0:16:40.520 that that price will go up as time goes on, 0:16:41.080 --> 0:16:44.320 But for now, I see a lot of people kind 0:16:44.360 --> 0:16:48.600 of ditching Netflix if they can go to something like 0:16:49.200 --> 0:16:51.880 Disney Plus or this bundle, which gives them a lot 0:16:51.920 --> 0:16:56.600 of options for cheaper than when I'm paying for Netflix. 0:16:56.640 --> 0:16:59.480 I pay sixteen dollars for Netflix. This is thirteen for 0:16:59.560 --> 0:17:00.040 what's seen. 0:17:00.200 --> 0:17:00.680 To be more. 0:17:01.000 --> 0:17:03.280 Unless you're really into some of the Netflix original shows, 0:17:03.320 --> 0:17:05.639 then you're not gonna drop it. I know in my 0:17:05.720 --> 0:17:07.600 house it's a debate. I want to drop Netflix, my 0:17:07.640 --> 0:17:13.600 wife will not. Angel asks a question, do you what 0:17:13.640 --> 0:17:16.320 do you know about the app Clarity Money? Is it 0:17:16.400 --> 0:17:20.560 safe to sink financial info to it? The short of 0:17:20.600 --> 0:17:25.080 it is, it's only as safe as the encryption we 0:17:25.200 --> 0:17:28.560 have and as good as the password that you use, 0:17:29.040 --> 0:17:30.840 so you have to do your homework with these things. 0:17:30.880 --> 0:17:33.000 There are a lot of apps like Mint and Clarity 0:17:33.040 --> 0:17:36.080 Money that will connect to your bank account and slice 0:17:36.119 --> 0:17:39.480 and dice all of your information. I've used Clarity Money. 0:17:39.520 --> 0:17:43.400 I think that it's really nice. It is it's sort 0:17:43.440 --> 0:17:47.040 of aimed towards millennials, and it's really clean looking, so 0:17:48.280 --> 0:17:49.240 it looks really good. 0:17:49.400 --> 0:17:51.160 They do a nice job of If you. 0:17:51.119 --> 0:17:53.160 Type in Starbucks, it'll tell you exactly how much you've 0:17:53.160 --> 0:17:56.040 spent at Starbucks over the years. It organizes all kinds 0:17:56.040 --> 0:17:58.040 of stuff. It gives you a little hint system how 0:17:58.080 --> 0:18:00.800 you could save more money. I really like I don't 0:18:00.880 --> 0:18:02.960 use it very much. I kind of tested it out, 0:18:03.000 --> 0:18:05.240 but I found that I got bored with it. The 0:18:05.240 --> 0:18:09.040 thing that I'm really liking right now is called Personal Capital, 0:18:09.480 --> 0:18:12.880 and Personal Capital does a lot of these same things, 0:18:13.119 --> 0:18:16.359 but it you know, you put all your accounts in there, 0:18:16.480 --> 0:18:20.200 so you put your four O one k's, your investment accounts, 0:18:20.320 --> 0:18:23.520 checking account, your credit cards, any assets that you have. 0:18:24.080 --> 0:18:27.280 And this is much more powerful. This this kind of 0:18:27.280 --> 0:18:31.840 gives you a real snapshot of just how much you owe, 0:18:32.240 --> 0:18:34.840 how much you have, where your money is, how you're 0:18:34.840 --> 0:18:39.200 doing compared to the stock market. So it's it's geared 0:18:39.240 --> 0:18:42.040 a little bit more towards the investor. But it is 0:18:42.080 --> 0:18:45.879 a fantastic product. And that's called Personal Capital. And again, 0:18:45.960 --> 0:18:50.000 all these products, including Clarity Money, personal Capital, they all 0:18:50.119 --> 0:18:52.719 use the same kind of encryption. They all connect your 0:18:52.720 --> 0:18:54.480 bank account. A lot of them use a service called 0:18:54.520 --> 0:18:57.199 Stripe to connect your bank account so it's it's all 0:18:57.320 --> 0:19:00.760 very similar. So is it safe? I mean, is anything 0:19:00.800 --> 0:19:04.399 safe that's online. We are only as safe as the 0:19:04.440 --> 0:19:06.840 precautions we take and the things that we do. But 0:19:07.080 --> 0:19:09.800 is the app a scam? No, So if you trust 0:19:09.800 --> 0:19:12.600 the app, you can sink your information to it and 0:19:12.880 --> 0:19:17.280 go from there. But check out Personal Capital, Clarity Money, Mint. 0:19:17.600 --> 0:19:19.879 I don't recommend anymore because I feel like I just 0:19:20.040 --> 0:19:22.240 I don't see the value in Mint anymore. I feel 0:19:22.280 --> 0:19:26.119 like they've really switched from being interesting and helpful to 0:19:26.240 --> 0:19:29.240 just trying to sell me credit cards and stuff I 0:19:29.240 --> 0:19:31.399 don't need, and I just find that I just don't 0:19:31.400 --> 0:19:34.160 get the value out of Mint. In fact, I think 0:19:34.200 --> 0:19:36.359 I deleted my account with Mint, but I was one 0:19:36.400 --> 0:19:37.960 of the first to signed up. I remember I was 0:19:38.000 --> 0:19:39.640 working at cakew when I signed up, and I thought 0:19:39.640 --> 0:19:42.240 it was so cool to see everything on one page. 0:19:42.560 --> 0:19:45.680 And now there are so many services that offer this 0:19:46.680 --> 0:19:50.000 financial snapshot, including like your own bank. A lot of 0:19:50.040 --> 0:19:52.360 banks will let you do this right through their website. 0:19:53.359 --> 0:19:57.440 But check it out Clarity Money, Personal Capital, and there 0:19:57.440 --> 0:20:00.320 are others out there. If you have one, let me 0:20:00.359 --> 0:20:03.520 know if you like it. All right, So back to 0:20:03.640 --> 0:20:06.320 the Samsung event, one more thing, and that's it. I'll 0:20:06.359 --> 0:20:08.040 just talk about one more thing. If they announced this 0:20:08.119 --> 0:20:10.960 is the Galaxy Book S, and I actually kind of 0:20:11.000 --> 0:20:15.119
