A lot of complaints about what they did in their prime time slots that were good, solid broadcasts or cable decisions. I think not things that I liked, but they made sense. The biggest thing I belied about was Teclah or was it? So lack of oatmeal in the lack of a tech live or was it the big thing that they took away the oatmeal? Yeah, I do. Yeah, I do. I don't remember Teclah. I think that was that was the yeah. I worked, I worked the pot that you were you were entered over the news. I worked that I was the teleprompter. Yeah, the one that I didn't think there should be news, but it's like you can't do a Bloomberg style. Yeah, well, it was bad. It was a horrible timing. It's horrible timing. But they launched it in 98. It probably would have shot through the roof, but they launched it like two months before the boss. Yeah, well, it became a layoff network. The thing is, everyone who was involved in Manch or from our management side is like, yeah, I don't think it's such a great idea because you're spending a lot of money with the original. The original idea was good, which was cover market, open market, close hour on either side, four hours a day. Like that's great. And then they blew it up into nine hours and that was just and they spent a godly sum. Yeah. And then Paul Allen got freaked out and people said, well, I'm burning money. It's like, yeah, it's a TV. I took a match and put it on this money and now the money's burning. I don't know how to make business decisions, but I live with Brock. I don't think that's the way he talks. I don't know. That's the way, like, like he sucked in helium. I played the guitar in my grown man band. It seemed like a decent guitar player to me. I'm sure he makes a mean. Uh, uh, what's that?  Sure. Not sure. That what where you came from? Drop them and drop them and drop. All right, Nicole, are you? Yes, sorry. I'm distracted by work slack, but I am back. Yes, that can happen. All right. Here we go. Daily Tech News Show is powered by its audience. To find out more, head to dailytechnewshow.com slash support. This is the Daily Tech News for Tuesday, April 4th, 2017. I'm Tom Merritt. Joining me to now today is Ms. Nicole Lee, Senior Editor at Engadget. Welcome back to the show, Nicole. Good to have you. Hey, good to be back. It's been too long. Patrick Beja is off today, but we're very excited to have Nicole with us. Uh, we're going to talk about Twitter's public publicly stating like we want to be the place you watch TV. There's some interesting things about that. And I know you're following the social space quite a bit these days. Yep, that's right. Well, let's start off with a few tech things you should know. The Association for Computing Machinery has awarded the 2016 Touring Award to Worldwide Web Creator Tim Berners-Lee to be presented at the ACM's annual banquet in San Francisco on June 24th. Do you think you'll make it to the banquet, Nicole? No, I don't think so. I was not invited myself. Yeah, me neither. So, yeah, but very deserving, right? I mean, this is Vint Cerf's got it before and stuff. So that's good. Monday, US President Donald Trump signed a bill into law blocking the implementation of the FCC broadband privacy regulations that were set to go in place. We've talked a lot about those regulations and their impact. But, you know, this is the day that it yesterday actually was the day that it became law. Intel completed its spin out of Intel Security as an independent company going back to its old name, McAfee. Intel Security General Manager Christopher Young is now CEO of McAfee. You feel good to have McAfee back? McAfee? McAfee? McAfee? I guess so. I don't know if it's a name that's popular to too many people these days, but back in the day, for sure, it used to be a household name. Yeah, Eurogamer's Digital Foundry team says it will announce exclusive information about Microsoft's project Scorpio Game Console. It's the newest version of the Xbox One. Everybody's been hankering to find out more about most of the details are probably going to come at E3. But on Thursday, April 6th at 9 a.m. Eastern, some bunch of information is apparently coming from Digital Foundry. A team, by the way, Nicole, that has not been very nice to Microsoft about things in the past. It hasn't. So it will be interesting to see what they have to say about their exclusive deal. Yeah, kind of bold for Microsoft to give an exclusive to them. So, I don't know. All right, here are some more top stories. Phil Schiller, Craig Federighi and John Ternes, if you recognize those names, they're all Apple executives, met with a select number of reporters to discuss Apple's commitment to pro users. Apple says it's completely rethinking the Mac Pro expects to release a new version in 2018, along with an external display, all but admitting not using the word mistake, but basically saying, you know, we made we made some bad decisions. I don't think they even use the word bad, but, you know, with with the current Mac Pro, they are also bumping the specs of the current Mac Pro because they say it is useful for some people. So options for a six core, eight core Xeon processor, dual AMD Fire Pro D 500 or D 700 GPUs you can choose and 16 gigabytes of RAM. Also, spec bumps are promised for the iMac targeted at pro users. They say they have a lot of professional users using the iMac. That's coming later this year. Apple also noted Mac Pro sales grew 20 percent in Q1. They noted that 80 percent of the desktops and laptops they ship are laptops and 20 percent are desktops. And that the Mac user base is near 100 million users. So I mean, it was a big mea culpa sitting down with these reporters, Nicole, and saying, yeah, the thermal power management wasn't so great in the Mac Pro. We banked on dual GPUs and everybody's still going with a different kind of approach. So we're rethinking it and no pro users. We don't dislike you. I think that was a big deal last year as well, because, you know, they haven't refreshed the iMac line for forever. It seems like and I do know a lot of artists and designers, they do they do use the iMac for design work and artists and artwork. And it's I think it was a big letdown for them to not have any like announcement recently. So I think to have this professional pivot in a way makes sense, especially since as they mentioned, most of their laptops, most of most of the computers as our laptops. So I think the laptops are going to the consumers, I'm guessing, whereas they, you know, the pros are sort of still they still want the power and the horsepower of the desktop provides. Yeah, they they seem to be realizing that a lot of the decisions they made that they were very confident in were not satisfactory to a small percentage. I've always maintained that it felt like Apple was saying that's too small of a market, don't want to necessarily tailor to it. And we think we could sell a lot more laptops and desktops if we target a slightly more casual professional user. So somebody who maybe doesn't need to do 3D modeling, who maybe doesn't need to do AutoCAD, who maybe doesn't need to do cinema level video editing. And now they're backtracking, now they're turning back and saying, you know what, we don't want to abandon those. They even mentioned Final Cut. They said, we have not taken our foot off the gas on developing Logic Pro and Final Cut.  But could this be too little, too late? It's interesting because it's Apple. It strikes me that within the past year or so, I've again, I have a lot of friends in the design art industry and they've been using Windows, like they've been using Windows and Windows art programs because to be frank, Windows computers are they're they're much more advanced these days. They can handle art and design just as fine as the Mac. So it's I think the I think that Apple realizes that they're losing the professional market if they don't do something to keep them happy. And they may also be coming around to the idea that sure, we could lose the professional market and it's a small slice, but it could be a trend setting slice. So if they lose that professional market, maybe that starts to erode the rest of its users as well. Maybe one of the reasons that a lot of people got into using Macs was because they saw these high level professionals using Macs. They didn't actually mention that directly, but that seems to be a logical assumption for them to start looking at. I think, you know, a lot of video creators know the the idea that oh, I'm using the same machine that, you know, I don't know, the professionals use is some kind of feeling in that, right? So I think there's something there's something to be said about using the same computer, the same brand of computer that the professionals use and there's some kind of magic there. So yeah, I agree with that. They're going to have to work hard because, first of all, this new Mac Pro is not coming out until next year. Next year. They they they did not do they said that they are focusing on the MacBook Pro as well, but we just got a revision of that. So I wouldn't expect something much to come from there. And they are behind people. I know at least in video editing, and I think it's true in some other industries as well are turning to windows for the reasons you said they windows machines are are powerful now. They're less expensive per power in most cases. And there's lots of good software for it. So Apple's lost a little bit of its momentum there. And it's going to have to work a little harder to gain it back. Yeah, I agree. Business Insider reported that the new name for the combined Yahoo and Verizon properties will be Oath. Daniel Roberts at Yahoo News clarified that the Yahoo brand will not go away. Oath will be the media division containing Yahoo's media verticals. AOL blogs such as Engadget, as well as the Huffington Post will be part of that. Oath will be led by AOL CEO Tim Armstrong and Recode reports the Yahoo CEO Marissa Meyer will not continue on with this new media division. Now, Nicole, I know that you you're working there. And so this is directly impacting you as a Engadget employee, which is owned by AOL. My take on it and you tell me if I'm way far off base is that.  So this is them saying, let's have a brand for our media division. Instead of calling it Verizon Media Division, or instead of having all the Yahoo things under AOL, let's just have a clean slate so that we have a name for something that is a perfectly logical organization of all the properties. I would assume you would put Yahoo News and Yahoo Sports and everything in the same department as you would put TechCrunch, HuffPo, Engadget, et cetera. I think you're right in the sense that it makes sense to have a media division in the company, you know, to sort of separate out the the media properties from like the broadband side of things, for example. I think the problem is really the branding. Oh, this last track me as a I don't know, it strikes me as a very high minded sort of over promising kind of thing. Yeah, there's certainly a lot of people having fun with, you know, oath, meaning swear word or take the oath or that this or that, right?  But, you know, one of the the thing that's important to understand is that we are not Engadget by oath, we're still Engadget, right? You know, like, it's not like, you know, having to post by oath. But it's not when you put it that way. I kind of want it to be like Engadget by oath. It sounds very Victorian. It does for Shakespearean, even. Yeah, for Seuth, for Seuth. I take the oath anyway. Yeah, I think the only thing that's odd about it is that you would expect it to just be like Verizon Media Properties, right? Like our media division, you don't generally come up with a brand name and logo for this. So it does feel like maybe there's something else there. I don't know. The logo as well as like the weird colon logo, I mean, I don't know. I question the people who come up with these like, was there was there a focus study done or something? Anyway, it's a little unusual. The name, the naming is a little unusual. I'm not currently a fan, but who knows where we'll be in, you know, a year from now. Right. I'm curious once this actually, because remember, the acquisition has not closed folks out there. So I'm sure what more will become clear once they can talk about more after the acquisition is finalized, which is expected this summer. Had to Steve Kovac, a business insider, too, for being on this story as well. Spotify and Universal Music Group announced a new licensing agreement Tuesday. New albums from Universal Artists can be restricted to paying users for up to two weeks. The Verge says sources say Spotify will pay slightly less to UMG per stream. So Spotify got a break on what they pay in exchange for this exclusivity window. We're expecting similar deals to be struck with Warner Music Group and Sony Music Group soon. I my wife, Eileen, is a big Spotify user. And I told her about this. I'm like, Hey, is a new deal between Spotify and your company because she works for Fandango, which is owned by NBC, Universal Music Group. And she's like, well, what does it mean for me? She's I'm like, well, you won't be able to get some new albums unless you're a paying subscriber for the first two weeks that they're out. And she's like, well, I'm a paying subscriber, so I don't really care about this story. Do you think that's probably the general consumer reaction? If you're on the free tier, you're bummed. And if you're on the paid tier, you don't really care. I agree with that. But I also feel like if you really if you for one thing, if you're a free Spotify user, you probably don't care that much whether you're getting things exclusive or not. That's just my I'm I'm thinking that. And if you do care a lot about it, you wouldn't you would be paying anyway. So I'm sure there are people who just can't afford it. They can't scrape together the 10 bucks or whatever. And wish they would get it. But when you're getting something for free, I mean, it is the internet. When you're getting something for free, you absolutely can complain. But when you're getting it for free, you don't have as as much of an expectation, I guess I understand the the gripe. I just feel like I also understand the other side of things. You know, it's free. You can wait a couple of weeks. The one thing I have never really understood in this entire story. And it is especially true now that Spotify seems to be getting a discount on its royalty rate is why you don't just pay the same royalty for a free tier or why does it make any difference? There should be a rate you pay per stream and Spotify can decide whether it streams things on the free tier or the paid tier. Like I don't know. I've never understood exactly why it doesn't work that way. It should totally it would be the same. Like why like if you're an artist, like, what does it matter whether you're listening to it? You shouldn't care what Spotify does.  That's it. That's the end of the deal. Yeah. Yeah. Well, anyway, I think this is interesting. And I think it will drive. I think Spotify doesn't mind because it, you know, will drive people to pay for subscriptions and they make more money off of subscriptions than they do off the free tier. So Navigant has a ranking of autonomous technology out there. They divided it up into three tiers, leading the way is Ford, number one on their list, followed by GM, Renault, Nissan and Daimler. That's the top tier in autonomous technology. Second tier is Waymo and Tesla. They call that the contender tier. And I'll explain why you may be surprised. Like, wait a minute, Alphabet's Waymo, you know, Google Google self driving car, that's not in the top tier. There's a good reason for this. And down at the bottom is Uber ranked in the third tier of challengers. The reason it ranks this way is Navigant considers 10 criteria. And among those criteria are manufacturing capability. So Waymo has no manufacturing capability and Tesla has less manufacturing capability than for GM, et cetera. Core tech development and strategy are other parts of this. And so that there's a little more subjectiveness to that. Navigant said that Ford's investments and acquisitions are what boosted it to the top spot. They've been buying up a lot of technology startups, investing in a lot of startups in this space. And it's not that the other companies haven't, but Ford's been making in Navigant's opinion, very wise ones. Uber is down at the bottom because of its production strategy and technology. Navigant isn't too impressed by it. And of course, we heard those reports that that Uber's technology has been having errors at quite a higher rate than other researchers out there. So what do you make of all this, Nicole? Does it surprise you? No, it doesn't. I mean, it's a little surprising in the sense that the traditional car makers are top at the top, right? And the non-traditional car makers are sort of lower. And that's interesting to me that, you know, Ford, GM, these are, these are you know, time-tested car companies and they're sort of taking the autonomous technology thing full on. And that's really impressive. Yeah. And even if you disagree with Navigant, which you certainly are well within your rights to do, I think we did fall in the trap of looking solely at the technology, at which point Waymo, Tesla, certainly are impressive and out in front. You know, Waymo as Google, as Google X has been doing this for a long time. But what Navigant's trying to say is, A, Ford, GM, Renault, Daimler, they they've caught up. They are, they have very good technology and they're also car companies. So they can flip a switch and start making cars a lot easier than a Waymo or a Tesla or specifically a Waymo or an Uber that has to partner with somebody to make that. So yeah, I to completely agree. Like these companies have invested a lot in the technology side of things. They've opened up branches in Silicon Valley. They've invested a lot of R&D, you know, Mercedes Benz. Like they're probably the one of the one of the top ones that they're coming up with this self-driving technology. So it's, it's not no surprise to me that they're taking the charge on this. Yeah. And that's Daimler is the Mercedes Benz parent company. And they announced that they're partnering with auto parts maker Bosch to collaborate on their autonomous technology. They are now one of the many companies that says they're going to have level five fully autonomous cars by the end of the decade. A lot of experts say, no, you're not. We'll see. I don't know. Yeah. But but there's some ambitious goals out there.  Those aren't rumors. But these car companies will partner with the other ones and collaborate, just like we're seeing Daimler and Bosch do that. So that has all to shake out. This, this isn't the death knell, is what I'm saying for, for Waymo or anything to be ranked lower. Uber just needs to get its technology in shape, which it very well may do. They've got a lot of good minds working on it. Yep. In the journal Nature Nanotechnology, researchers at the University of Manchester describe a method for using graphene oxide membranes to desalinate water. It is graphene, graphene that we think could be good for semiconductors, could be good for batteries. Well, apparently it's good for turning seawater drinkable. The team used a physical confinement to control the interlayer spacing in a sheet of graphene to block salt particles from seawater, which are extremely small. This isn't like your table salt. While it could be used to turn seawater in a drinking water, it could also be used in other industrial applications like filtering carbon dioxide from power station emissions, for instance. So they've, they've got all kinds of things to start research. And of course, they're confident that it can scale, but they have yet to do that too. It's really impressive, you know, graphene. I've heard, I've been hearing graphene for years, it seems like. Oh, yeah, just years and years. I've heard about this, this, this magic material. And hopefully this will sort of make it more mainstream. I wonder, and this is just a wonder, I don't know enough about material science to say, but I wonder if the first use for graphene could be some revolutionary way to purify water, could be, could be some industrial application for filtering ions. They'll be a game changer. I mean, there's all kinds of game changers in there. They're not the game changers we thought would come from graphene. Everybody thought it was going to be going to be processing power. Then they thought it was going to be batteries, still not bad. And it still could do those other things as well. Hey, folks, if you want to get all the tech headlines each day in around five minutes, subscribe to our sister show DailyTechHeadlines.com. So in the telegraph over there in the UK, Twitter's chief operating officer, Anthony Noto, said that they want to bring video onto Twitter. They say the idea of doing that allows us to give the consumer on one screen the things they're talking about and a timeline of the best tweets on Twitter at that moment in time. We would love to have the Premier League. So, you know, he's in the telegraph. He's going to talk about soccer. We would love to have live games and we'll continue to try to find creative ways to get there. The telegraph article suggests that what Twitter wants, what Noto is referring to is authentication so that you could log in with your Sky account, your BT account or over here in the US, your ESPN account and watch any live content from those networks but watch it on Twitter. So for those of you who are like, wait a minute, hold on, I'm not following you. Let me back up a little bit. If you're, let's say, a Comcast cable subscriber, you can log into the Watch ESPN app and watch all of your ESPN stuff on the app, which means you can watch it on Roku or Apple TV or your phone or your tablet. And it's just a way for ESPN to control the experience, but still make sure you're paying the cable company where they get their subscription fee. This is Twitter saying, great, we'd also like to take ESPN content and put it on Twitter because the value add we can do is put tweets next to it. Nicole, is this making am I making any sense out of this? Is this making any sense? You know, they've they've done live TV before, you know, the I think was it Thursday night football or whatever it was NFL stuff with two different networks on that, too, which was that's right, which is very interesting. And they're still doing some live TV right now with Bloomberg and a few other different companies. So they're definitely pushing this live TV thing come to Twitter to watch TV, right? It is which is a little bit. It's a little bit of a headscratcher, but it is something that differentiates them, I suppose, from the other social media things out there. And I think the fact that you have to sign in to watch it makes it more palatable to the content providers.  You know, go ahead and do it. It's fine because they have to subscribe to us in order for you to watch the content. But I do I do think it's a little strange because if you already subscribe to it, wouldn't you find another way to watch it? Like, wouldn't you watch it on TV or on the app that they give you? I don't I don't understand what the ad point is of just going to Twitter and watching it. Well, I get why Twitter wants it, right? Twitter wants, of course. Yeah, if they can make you use Twitter, then that's good for Twitter. Right. Yeah, I could see why a network would be OK with it. If they say, well, as long as you're authenticating, it's just another way for people to access our content. And as long as we have an agreeable presentation and your authentication works well, why wouldn't you do that? The consumer part of it is is the key. I mean, will people want to do this? I think Twitter has an advantage in the sense that it might be easier to authenticate with Twitter than with the actual watch ESPN app, for instance, because you can link a Twitter ID very easily. Right. So if I'm if I'm on ESPN's website or even all my cable providers website or maybe I'm PlayStation View or Sling TV, which also authenticate, right? I'm a cord cutter. I'm on Sling TV's website and it says, hey, do you want to associate your Twitter ID? And I say, yes. And I do that really easily. Then suddenly the next time I'm at Twitter, I don't have to do anything. It just says, hey, do you want to watch this ESPN game? You can do it right now.  I think the point here is that this is probably a lot more attractive if you're already a Twitter user. Like if you're already a pretty, like you're on Twitter every day or something like that, that is really very attractive because you might just see it as a little pop up in a little corner of your little Twitter timelines.  I can see the value there. I think my issue is that a lot of people, I know, use Twitter on mobile and it's not really very friendly TV watching on mobile, I'm guessing. I don't know. But I will say that it's a lot more attractive if you're already an existing Twitter user. I'm not sure if it was something that you would go to Twitter for if you're not already a Twitter user. Yeah, I think you're right about that. This doesn't convince me to suddenly watch Twitter because you're right. I just get to watch ESPN app, why would I do that? But if I am on Twitter, it might make Twitter more valuable, it might retain me, keep me as a more active user. I do also see this as one more plank in what seems to me to be Twitter's hoarding of live stuff. They created an easier API for Periscope so that media companies can go live through a more sophisticated system that's supposed to encourage more professional live streaming that can be done on Twitter. They've got the partnerships that you've mentioned that keep rolling out, even as things like La Crosse. And now they're saying we'd like to authenticate. So if you look at it in that sense, it's not a standalone strategy, it's Twitter trying to amass as many different high quality video streams as possible. And as we've talked about on this show before, the only thing that's missing is a real easy way to watch that, the moments tab ain't doing it. No, it isn't.  You still have to be on your computer browser, which is great, I guess. But then most, I mean, I wanna watch sports on my TV, ideally. Yeah. So we'll see that. And there is that Twitter app for Apple TV, it's not bad. But again, you have to get people to do that. Very true. I will say it was really interesting to me that they have La Crosse on there. Cause that's not really a sport you normally see on like even like normal TV. And that was actually, it was kind of cool. I mean, I know, I don't know. I kind of like, I like watching obscure sports. Yeah, me too, actually. So that's just like my own personal reference there. But that was great to see. And if you can like, I wonder if they'll introduce the ability to like switch channels on Twitter. Like you can switch live TVs. Yeah, you've gotta make it easy to see what's on. Right. Switch from one thing to another. Right. That's the part of this equation I haven't seen any indication of yet. That's the question mark in my mind. Like if I want to switch from a basketball game to a soccer game, can I do that? Like on Twitter? So it's, I don't know. The ways to go. But another piece in that Twitter puzzle that I think it's either gonna crash and burn or it's going to be a whole different thing that anybody expected. And it could, I'm not saying it will, could revolutionize TV viewing if they did it right. If they did it right, that would be, because you know, they've been trying to struggle against Facebook Live, because Facebook has been the juggernaut in terms of just like live video recently. So if they can like make this blow up in a way that would definitely be a big, it'll be huge for them. They just have to survive. They'll have to survive long enough to do it. Well, thanks to everybody who participates in our subreddit. We get great ideas for things to cover on the show there. So keep them coming at dailytechnewshow.reddit.com. Couple emails before we're out of here. Jonathan posted the story about the military's use of transcranial electric stimulation yesterday. Nicole, did you catch the story? No, what? It's a headset. It looks like headphones. It sparks your brain and apparently improves concentration and focus. So athletes and soldiers are using it in training to get better faster. Oh man, I need this. Yeah, just a little electric stimulation. It's just a little tingle. Yeah, it's a little bit, it's fine. Anyway, Jonathan said that story reminded me of a Radio Lab podcast episode that covered this very subject two years ago. The reporter was put in a sniper training simulation where she had to cover a vehicle checkpoint with increasing numbers of suicide bombers coming at her until she was overwhelmed. So think Tower Defense came and may I remind you, simulation. Then they put the transcranial direct current stimulation system on her and ran her through it again. This time, she was 100% accurate, killed every attacker with ease and perceived the 20 minutes of simulation time as three minutes. Oh my word. That's amazing. That's a story pitch for you, Nicole. I'm doing it. I'm gonna put one on and on like every day and see if I can like write, you know, a thousand words in like five minutes. Yeah, seriously. I don't know if that works that way. If you want to know more about transcranial direct current stimulation, check out Radio Lab. They've got a good episode. Radio Lab's great. According to Jonathan. And yeah, it's great. It's a great series. The smart TV hack that we talked about yesterday was the one where a broadcast could take advantage of a browser vulnerability on Samsung TVs in particular. At least that was the proof concept. And Ron writes in because we made a joke about, you know, hey, if you get a broadcast tower, you can take a lot of TVs at once. And Ron said that hack only works in countries that use that DVBT system that we mentioned, the digital video broadcast system. Many of these could be considered to be on top of the world since they're very far north. So DTNS users in North America are probably safe from large broadcast tower hacks since we use the ATSC system here. But I mean, a little social engineering could get you to turn a DVBT capable system to a DVBT channel, perhaps, and get hacked by a smaller power broadcast. But again, the whole point of that story was, this is a proof of concept. You need to patch that web browser, essentially. So patch your things, people. Let's become my new refrain for this decade to people who make smart television. Patch your things. Patch your things.  Maybe we should. Maybe we should add that to the Daily Tech News Show store. Patch your things, Samsung, LG, everybody, Phillips. I'm not saying they don't. I'm just saying they really need to make sure they do. Thank you, Ron Ladd. Ron, I know, is a veteran of that industry, so I appreciate him sharing his expertise. And thank you, Nicole Lee, for sharing your expertise today. Not a problem. You can find more of Nicole's work at Engadget.com. Do you have anything in particular going on you want to point people to? I have a lot going on, but they're not ready just yet, but stay tuned, there'll be something next week. All right, so keep your eyes on Engadget.com, or you can follow Nicole on Twitter, at Nicole. Yep. Just Nicole, right, still? Yeah, yeah, that's me. You didn't change it. Nicole is the first person I followed on Twitter. That's right, I remember that. Yeah, Veronica Belmont is the person who told me about Twitter, and then I followed Nicole while Veronica was standing over my shoulder. I don't remember this part for sure, but I can't imagine that Veronica got mad and then said, you need to follow me now, so. This was when, like, my first year, it's, you know, something. Yeah, and this was back when you could get a name like Nicole. Like Nicole and Veronica. Yeah, yeah. Exactly. Thanks to everybody who gives us a little value back for the value they get from this show, including Steve Remington, John Prentis, Christopher Moeller, and so many more.

I hope you have enjoyed this program. Good show. Thanks, Nicole. Thank you. Thank you for being on last minute. No problem. I need to get off because I have a story to file. All right, yes. Thank you so much. I'm gonna go. Thanks again, Nicole. Bye. All right, titles. Titles. What have the titles given us? We have Pro, Tecting the Mac Pro Line, Macavino Longer Intel Inside, Apple Loses Pro Mentum. Macafee is no longer Inside Intel, actually. Oh, interesting. Twitter TV, Verizon takes on a new oath. Patch your things, people proactive on Mac. Patch your things. Mac will be pro eventually. There's a lot of Mac Pro stuff. Pro tips on the new Mac Pros, Apple Losing. We can go with the pro thing. That works. We talked a lot about that. So protecting the Mac Pro Line, proactive on the Mac Pro, that I like. Being a little proactive instead of just kind of letting it coast. Proactive on the Mac Pro. Although are they really being proactive? Can you think about it? Kind of being reactive. That's true, they're being reactive, but... Could say reactive on the Mac Pro. Yeah, that'd be good. Do that. Someone type that in and make it a title, quick. Mac will be pro eventually. Will pros be pro Mac Pro? Ha! Oh, you like that one? Well, yeah, of course I do. Okay. Make it so. Where do you go? I'm still level-ating. We can let them simmer for a little bit. Simmer. Boil off some of that extra tidal water. Patio things. Let's see what the people think at showbot.tv. Every time I think of the people, that phrase, I think of that, because they use that Bane meme from Batman. Darkman, there it is. Yeah. I can't stand that voice in that movie. The Bane voice? Yeah. The punishment will be more severe. It's like, hey, he's supposed to be like, he's supposed to be Latin American. Who, Bane? Yeah. Yeah, this is from Argentina. He's a failed wrestler. Lucha no Libre. No Lucha, no Libre. No Lucha. All right. Will pros be pro Mac Pro? You cool with that? Yeah. All right. That's what we're going with. Well, the Twitter was pretty good. 140 characters and nothing on. That's actually really good. That's really good. 140 characters and nothing on. That's the saddest indictment of cable TV when I had it. It's like, there's nothing on cable TV I want to watch. Well, part of it was just true. Sometimes that just wasn't very good stuff, but also part of it was decision paralysis, right? Where if you had been given two channels, you probably would have picked something, but when you have a hundred channels and you keep flipping through, none of them are grabbing you because you're like, well, maybe there's something better on farther down the line. I think there's a psychological principle there. Maybe. Part of it is a lot of it is, this just goes back to cable programming. You do a lot of reruns. Yeah. And again, if you only had one channel and there was a rerun on and it was watch this or not, you might go, ah, this is kind of cool. I haven't seen Barney Miller in a long time, but if you're flipping through 140 channels, you're going to be like, well, is Barney Miller really the best thing on? Let me keep looking. Well, I mean, at that point, I decided what's the point of paying for cable? I'm going to have this situation. And so I said, it's great. I'm going to take a shower instead and save me some money. I think that's one of the appeals of Netflix is that it's just one channel. Yeah. And it will suggest what you should watch to you. I like. It doesn't always do such a great job, which is one of the complaints about it. But when it works, it works really well. It does. What bugs me is that it used to have a really good interface, at least on set top boxes, where you had like your sci-fi, your comedies. Now it's kind of more jumbly and it's a little more fresh, at least for me personally to find. Why is it jumbly?  But like, I just like flipping to see what they have. And I watch a lot of stuff that way. Like, I don't want. You want fewer rec, you want more catalog and less rec. Yeah. I mean, that might be weird because it's me.  So I don't mind that they do. I wouldn't mind if they gave you an interface option that was more like the website, where you can go, oh, I want to, for example, I wasn't a kick on watching Spanish language movies because I thought like, oh, it's very interesting. 90% of them turned out to be Chilean, the ones that we're watching, but it'd just be kind of cool if you could just narrow dig. For example, there was a thing on, I watched Chirolo's, your Giro, who was it, your Lozushi, that documentary, it's like, oh, I want to find out more about Tokyo. You used to be able to do a search, at least on the Yaksbox app on the title, and it would give you all the tags. So now it just gives you the name of, for example, if I look for Star, it'll give you all the titles with Star in it, and then anything associated or familiar, or tangentially related to like Star Wars or Star Trek. Right. But it wouldn't, like you couldn't just tag it, like you would like an iTunes podcast and have it come up in a search, the tags. You lost me. You're just saying search doesn't work as well as it used to. Yes. No, it used to work a lot better for me, like on the Yaksbox, and for some reason they changed it. Do you think it's just the Yaksbox, or do you think it's, I think it's, I think that they, all the searches work that way, but what you described sounds better. Like if I search Star, I should be able to get Star Wars and Star, you know what I mean? Like the old way was fairly limited. You had to know how it worked to make the good use of it. Mayhemps, mayhemps. Your complaint is that you had figured it out, and now you... I've just, I've discovered the game, and therefore it no longer interested me, interested me. Something like that. But, yeah. I'll wait for defenders to start. I'm not sure if I'm gonna sit through Iron Fist. You know, you could probably just watch the last episode of Iron Fist and get the gist of it. What if I watch the last three episodes? Yeah, sure. Cause I'm four episodes in and I'm still okay. Oh yeah, if you've already watched the four, you definitely don't need to watch every single one. It's making me yawn, just thinking about it apparently. It's like the Barry Manilow of Marvel action movies. It was funny to see him in the elevator in the teaser for the defenders today. Yeah. I'm like, oh, he really is a defender. Huh. The thing in the trailer was why is Daredevil dressed like Daredevil when he first started instead of, I mean, I'm sure there's something more behind it. And it's interesting because that part of almost a lot more like Iron Fist in this Iron Fist costume in the comic. Right. Yeah. Wonder how that hat comes about. Netflix and Chilean. From TV's Egon. I think there was a, at a time I was trying to read up on the great South American conflict between Argentina and Brazil. Maybe Chile. All I know is Uruguay became as a result or something like that.  The link for the podcast showed up in the SoundCloud feed really fast today. Oh, they finally might have finished doing whatever they were doing that made it so slow. Well, it hasn't been super slow like it was that one week in a long time. But it was like, usually because this is a longer episode, it usually takes a little longer. Must've sped something up. All right, we are done. We're published. Do you have any words of wisdom before we leave? Yes. After indulging in my icy lust, I can honestly say, don't eat that much sugar. I had the weirdest dream. What did you dream? Can you say? So this is the weird thing about my weird dreams. I'm not directly in them, nor are anyone I know directly in them.   The native hipsters raise money. But they were done in like, there was like this huge drum circle of a thousand, kind of like a Mooney wedding. Okay.  Because it's just like me narrating the whole thing. And I was like, what? It's just really odd, it was really bizarre. A lot of just like man buns. That's the other thing bugged me, man buns. In your dream, they were bugging you. Yeah, no, no, in real life, man buns. I know they also bug you in real life, but. But in the dream, all the guys had man buns. And as narrator, you were bugged by this? No, I was just kind of, I was describing it. Like as if Richard Attenborough was describing the bird of paradise. The man bun is created through a sophisticated process. Like that? Yeah, but not as, you know, not as eloquent. It was more like, you know, it was more matter of fact, like a CIA video describing what you would experience when you end up in recovery. Like you were giving notes for someone to use. Yeah, exactly. Now, as you can see, these man buns are on all of the subjects. Nails, they're approximately, you know, two inches to three inches in diameter. I think there's a podcast in this for you, frankly. It's just, man, that's sugar. It was just a weird sugar rush, no more. Well, what are you gonna do next time you feel like getting one of those? I don't know because I want one now, but I'm really fighting it because I'm waiting myself. Why do you want it? No, I weighed myself and I decided, you know what? Okay, step back. The only reason I weighed myself is because I put it on pants that got out of the dryer. It's like they're a little tight. Fresh out of the dryer. They usually are fresh out of the dryer.  I kind of went up to the scale. But why do you think you want it so bad? Are you lacking energy?  I could. What I really miss is the icy slush with the little hint of flavor. I have found that when I'm craving candy, if I make myself eat a piece of fruit that I don't really want, it definitely reduces the craving for fruit. I have three bars of whatchamacallitse I've had here for a month and a half. I haven't touched one. Yeah, you shouldn't. I wouldn't eat those. I just, but it's just, it's warm. Maybe like, I used to make Jell-O. I have an apple, Roger. I used to make Jell-O, and then I would stick it in the fridge. Jell-O. I'm a banana. Stick it in the freezer. It would be crystal-y crunchy Jell-O. Eat a kiwi fruit. That's who, wait, David Attenborough. Yes, yes, Zoe brings bacon. Thanks for your crack. All right. Well, thanks everybody for watching. Have a lovely day. Don't eat. Don't drink too much sugar. Too much sugar. We'll see you tomorrow.


From Hollywood, the Phil Harris Alice Faye Show.  Things are rather hectic in the Harris household this morning. The monster is sick.  Oh, the pain, the agony. Is it nobler to suffer the slings and arrows of the South Brajes fortune, or perchance take arms against the sea of trouble than by opposing, end it all? Gadzooks. Nobody has ever suffered like this before. Nobody. Oh, for heaven's sake, I never saw such a fuss over an ingrown hair. It's not an ingrown hair. My whole body's on fire. But just what part of your body hurts, Phil?  Yes. Just pick a spot and that's it. All I know is I woke up this morning with, ooh, with stabbing pains in my back.  He wouldn't know what's wrong with me. Why not? I got a disease that hasn't been discovered yet. But you're not that sick. Don't tell me.  Oh, Alice, let's face it. I'm a doomed man. And even if I live, which I'm sure I won't, I'll only be a shell of my former self. And I don't want to be a burden to you, honey. Leave me. Go ahead, baby, leave me.  Go ahead, leave me. Air out. Don't be silly, Phil. Why should I leave you? Don't ask questions, sis. This is the best offer he's made you in nine years. I'll go upstairs and pack your bags. Thank you, Philip, for letting us off the hook. And we'll be happy. You're back here, Willie. I'm tired of this nonsense, Phil. I'm going to take your temperature right now. Hold still while I put this thermometer in your mouth. Now get that instrument a torture away from me.  Why not? It ain't sanitary. But, Phil, I sterilized it. I dipped it in alcohol. I don't care what you dipped it in. Alcohol? Well, don't stand there. Nurse, set him up. A little touch of old whip and post can't hurt nothing. Now lie still and I'll take your temperature. Here, just hold it under your tongue and keep still. But I don't want to put... Oh, honey, I don't want to go like this. You know, Willie, he says his back hurts. He was playing with the children yesterday.  Through my wilder doing? What kind of father's this? I heard that the ridiculous thing. Well, you keep quiet, Phil. You'll bite the thermometer in two. Willie, if Phil is really in this much pain, he won't be able to get up and do our radio show. That means he won't be on the air tomorrow. Oh, sis, you're just being optimistic. However, perhaps we should get somebody to replace Philip on the program. Replace me?  That's a joyous thing I have a world. You better get some food. Let's see, whom can we get to replace?  Well, if we want to replace Phil, we'll have to get someone equally as clever. Yes. Let's see, whom can we get? Mortimer's snared as busy with Bergen. Cecil the C-6 C-serpent gets too much money. I wonder what thinks mules are doing this week. But what? What do you mean, thinks mules? Cecil the C-6 C-serpent. Here I am practically breathing my last and you two are standing there making fun of me. Now, we wouldn't make fun of you if we thought you were any really sick. I'll get it. I had to marry a hypochondriac. He makes a big magilla out of everything. He's the only man I know who insists on Easter when he gets his nails cut. Hello, Frankie. Hello, Alice. Where's Curly? He's in the bedroom dying. What again? What's he got this week? I don't know. He just likes to think he's sick.  That's the only thing, I'll cheer him up. Okay. If he likes to be sick, I'll help him along. Hiya, Curly. Hello, Frankie. Curly, this is wonderful. I've never seen you look worse in your life. I know. I'm a very sick man. Splendid! What's wrong now? Everything, Frankie, everything. This time I hit the jackpot. I'm really sick. Oh, I'm sorry, Curly. I didn't realize. Is there anything I can do to help you, pal? Can I get you a specialist? Do you want a private nurse? Do you need some of my blood? Ah, gee, Frankie.  You'd really give me some of your blood? Sure. And for you, Chum, I'll let you have it for only $10 a fifth. You... You'd charge me for it? Well, I have to. I can't afford to give this stuff away to loss. Besides, I'm the only one that has the same tight blood as you. What type? 90 proof. Of course, there's a lot of cheap stuff floating around, but that's not for a big man like you. Now, can I put you down for half a case? Look, Remly, I don't want to buy any of your blood. All right. I don't need your business. I already sold two quarts this morning. How can you give two quarts of your blood in one day? I water it. How low can you sink? Cuttin' the stuff. Frankie, all you ever think of is what's in it for you? I was on a kid in Curly. You know I'm not that way. I just came over to see if I can help you. Really? Is there anything I can do for you? There's nothing anybody can do for me anymore. I'm beyond help. But, Frankie, there is something that... Well, that you could do for Alice after I'm gone. You see, she'll need a man to look after her. Keep talking, you're starting to interest me. Well, Frankie, I want you to marry her. Me? Marry Alice? Yeah, she's a wonderful girl. She's got money, she's young, she's beautiful, and, well, all I want you to do is to love and cherish her. What do you say? How much does the job pay? You expect to get money for marrying a girl like Alice? What was good enough for you is good enough for me. Money had absolutely nothing to do with it. I was very lucky to get a girl... So, darling, honey, are you feeling any better? Alice, please, I won't have my future wife worrying about another man. What are you talking about? I'm not your wife.  Shall we say 200,000 in cash? Frankie. Of course, with the new credit regulations, you'll have to pay me half down. Please stop. Look, Phil, I've been thinking, if you feel as bad as you say you feel, we'll have to get someone to replace you on the show tomorrow. And I got just the guy. Who? Me. I'm glad to take over. Hold it. I feel better.  Get my hat. I'm on my way. Here I go. Oh, my back. There goes that stabbing pain again. Can't get up, eh, Curly? I'll get up. I'll go down to that show if I have to crawl down. You're not taking my place. But this is my big chance to show what I can do. My chance to show my talent. To prove that I'm something besides a lousy left-handed guitar player.  Too sure. Look, Curly, why don't we leave this up to a doctor? If he says you're well enough to work tomorrow, okay. But if he says you're not, I'll take your place. That's fair enough. All right, all right, but I'm feeling much better. I'm sure the doctor will say I can make it. All right, we'll see. Come on, Frankie. All right. I'll go call my doctor and ask him if he'll... Your doctor, huh?   What he needs is a specialist, like my doctor. Well, I don't know. You wait here. I'll go get him. He's right around the corner. In the meantime, you stay here and keep Curly in bed. Sing to him and keep him sick. What kind of a crack is that? Sing to him and keep him sick. No, I mean, it makes him happy. It makes him happy to think he's sick, so sing to him and keep him happy. I still don't think I like it, but I'll sing now and figure it out later. I'm catching my collar. You're the lace in my shoe. You will always be my necessity. I'd be lost without you. Most men tell love tales. And each phrase does tales. You've heard each known way. This way is my own way. You're the sailor of my love boat. You're the captain and crew. You will always be my necessity. I'd be lost without you. We're not the poets. How well we know it. We've never been great ravers. But when we speak of you, we rave a bit. It's true. Our heads are turning and just learning your estimation of us. What sugar does for tea? You do to me. Cause you give life savor. Bring out each flavor. So this is clear, dear. You're my Worcestershire. You're the sailor of my love boat. You're the captain and crew. You will always be my necessity. I'd be lost without you. Now, look, doctor, before we go in and see Curly, all I want you to do is tell him to stay in bed. You understand, doctor? Yeah, I understand. But stop calling me doctor. I ain't no doctor. I repair pool tables. Well, for my purposes, that's close enough.  And to Curly, anybody that carries a black bag is a doctor. Oh, here's the house. Let's go in. Why ought to do this?  Besides, if you don't, I'll tell your parole office where you are.  Suppose this guy Harris wants me to examine him. Nah, he won't. Just lay it on thick. Tell him he's sick and he has to stay in bed for six months. Now, be quiet. Here's Curly's room. Hi, Curly. I want you to meet Dr. Corbett. How do you do, doctor? After studying this case carefully, I come to conclusion you're going to have to stay in bed six months. That'll be ten dollars, please. So long, everybody. Wait a minute. Come back here. You can't tell anything by just looking at me. I demand an examination. Examination. Okay. Mr. Runley, I want you to help me. What do you want me to do, doctor? Well, in my tool case, you rack up the patient. What does he mean, rack me up? Well, that's a medical term. It's from the Latin rickety-rackety-rook. Now, go ahead, doctor, continue with the examination. Yeah, doctor, remember, I want a thorough one. All right. Frankie, open my bag and hand me my level. Remley, a level. What's that? Oh, I told the doctor you're flat on your back and he wants to make sure. Yeah. Now, hold still, Horace. Hey, this is worse than I thought. What's the matter with him, doctor? This guy sags toward the left-hand side pocket.  What kind of an examination is this? Doctor, look at my tongue. Okay. I don't know what that's going to prove, but I'll look at it. All right. Yeah, doc. Ah! I seem better looking tongues in a window of a cheap delicatessen. Hey, what kind of a doctor have you brought me here, Remley? What's the matter with this?  You see, you're the first patient he's ever lost. What do you mean lost? Give me a fighting chance. Doctor examined me like you're supposed to. Now, take my temperature. All that I can do. Hold still, I'll put the somometer in your mouth. That's long enough. What do you know, 112? 12-0, I knew I was a goner. Doctor, tell me something. How much longer have I got? Now, calm down, Horace. With care, lots of rest, plenty of sunshine, and a good diet, I guarantee you'll be around for at least another 10 minutes. 10 minutes, Doctor, you must be mistaken. I don't feel that bad. Nah, he's exaggerating, Curly. Doc's a great kidder. Doc, tell him he'll be all right if he just stays in bed. Okay. Horace, if you just stay in bed for about six months, I guarantee you'll live to the ripe old age of 40. Now, you feel better? Yeah, except for one thing. I'm 43 now. How do you figure that out?  You thought he had me, Remlin. Now, wait a minute. I gotta be well by tomorrow so I can do my radio program. Can't you...  Pill. Yeah, I guess I got some in my kit. Yeah, there you are. Big round pill, swallow it. Hold it a minute. What kind of a pill is this? What's wrong with it? Well, it's black with a number eight on it. I guess the eight ball would be bad luck. Here, try one of these blue bullion cubes. That's cute, Chuck. Remlin, will you get Willy Hoppy out of here? All right, all right, I'll leave. So long, Harris. And don't worry, we all gotta go sometime. Frankie, what kind of a doctor is that given billiard balls for pills? So he's a little eccentric, but you gotta admit he diagnosed your case correctly. Oh, yeah, yeah. I got a very unusual disease, a sagging side pocket. With a hole in it. I understand it's fatal if you don't stay in bed for six months. I'm not staying at... Ooh. Those stabbing pains again. Look, I guess I'm gonna have to get somebody to take my place on the show tomorrow. But who? Curly, aren't you forgetting me? Yes. Now, let's see, there's Bob Hope or Red Skelton or Jackson or Dennis Day. How about Thibba McGee and Remli? No. I don't know. Heavenly days, he doesn't like it. All right, Frankie, look, go call Hope, Skelton or one of those guys and see if they'll do the show for me tomorrow. All right, if you'd rather settle for a stooge instead of a big name like me. All right, go ahead. Gee, I wish I could do the show tomorrow. I got such a wonderful song already.

They know what they're doing. And they're targeting the right. They're not targeting rich people. Let's put it that way. No, they're targeting the wannabes.

being get great guitars duplicating some tabs to put reports in like we do every time right click on the tab up top so we can duplicate it then we're gonna right click on the tab up top and duplicate it again back to the tab to the middle accounting drop down let's open up the balance sheet we're gonna tab to the right accounting drop down instead of the income statement we're gonna open up that comparative income statement we set up in a prior presentation it's showing both January and February of the current year we're currently working on the second month of February let's go back to the balance sheet and then drop down on the date range customizing it to 2023 the end of it and will update that report as well okay so now we're gonna imagine we have an advanced payment type of situation and so to analyze this let's take a look at the flow chart so I'm gonna go to a flow chart which is a screenshot of a QuickBooks desktop homepage but we're just using it to look at the flow of note forms in a normal kind of accounting process we're looking at the revenue cycle now remember the revenue cycle will be dependent on the type of industry we are in we can't just pick what we're gonna do whatever our business is will dictate how we're gonna have to deal with how we're gonna be collecting our revenue at the end of the cycle however no matter what cycle we use we expect to have revenue being increased for the sale of goods and services or cash to be increased because of the sales of goods and services so the easiest system we can think of would be one where we have gig work we get paid by YouTube we could just wait till it deposits into our banking system possibly using bank feeds to record revenue at that time but if we make sales at a cash register restaurant food truck to put store or something like that then we're gonna have this added step even though we're on a cash-based system we're gonna collect cash at the same point in time we do the work or provide the goods and services but we're gonna have to accumulate that money and put it into our account for cash in the same format as it will be showing up on the bank statement and that's gonna be important for the bank reconciliations if however we're in an industry like accounting firms law firms landscapers where we have to do the work first and invoice the client then we're gonna have to track the accounts receivable receive the payment and make the deposit that's most of the businesses however we can also imagine a situation where we get the money first now there's gonna be some industries where that's just like the norm for example the classic example is like a newspaper or magazine distributors because what normally you have to do on a revenue recognition principle at least on a cruel and a cruel concept would be that you don't recognize revenue until you earn it not when you get the cash and with magazine sales and stuff you might get a year's worth of a subscription first you got paid before you did the work that means that you owe the customer either the money back or the work hopefully the work in the future so you don't have to give the money back so what happened is you basically got the receive payment before you invoice them and you you know right because you've got the receive payment before you actually did the work right and so that's gonna be kind of backwards and that kind of throws a wrench into our revenue recognition system now we can also imagine that happening in other industries such as if we sell large things like a guitarers in our case we might want a down payment if someone wants a particular guitar someone comes into our shop they say hey look I want this guitar we say hey that's an expensive guitar we don't have it on hand but we will order it from the vendor for you however in order to show us that you are committed to completing the purchase we would like a down payment at this point in time therefore we collect the money before we give them the guitar similar kind of thing happens in rental type of situations where you might say I would like the last month's rent upfront where you and so so now you've got this pre-payment for the rental of the property that you have not yet provided in that sense as well and also note that this is becoming more common in online businesses the situation where you get paid first in a similar way as with the newspaper situation when you're talking about online application type of systems so if you're gonna provide a subscription to your blog or something and they're paying you for a year's worth of subscription well that's similar to the magazine situation where you got money first before having before you actually did the work so on an accrual system you would think that you would have to deal with this under and revenue now in practice for taxes in the United States small businesses might just be doing this for taxes and you might be okay in that case collecting the money and recording income when you collect the money because the taxes the tax man would be kind of happy with that right because that means that you're actually paying them earlier when you collected when you collected the money but for generally accounting purposes generally accepted accounting principles accrual accounting then you should be tracking the under and revenue kind of system and when you have this so we're gonna be looking at it with this deposit situation so they're all kind of related we're getting money first so we owe the money back to the client or we owe them the goods or services in our case we're gonna be selling guitars we're gonna get paid before we actually provide the guitar with this down payment okay now note that some accounting software such as for example QuickBooks doesn't have the greatest tool really to record it properly because you're supposed to record a liability of under and revenue and the problem is that if I if I record it to under and revenue and not accounts receivable I don't have that nice tracking of the sub ledger as I do when I record a receivable so when you record something like this in other accounting software often times like a QuickBooks for example people will record a negative accounts receivable because that will allow them to later create an invoice and apply the over payment to the invoice but zero has a pretty nice feature which allows us to properly record it as a liability and still have the capability of tracking that information in the customer section and applying it out to a future invoice so that's like an advantage of zero that I think is is interesting it's a pretty neat feature that is quite worth pointing out so if I go to the so if I go to the first so if you're following along and like an Excel practice problem with this and doing a comparative problem in Excel we might make a negative receivable and then we're gonna adjust for it here we're gonna do what a zero allows us to do make the liability account which properly records it at this point in time alright so how to do this we're gonna hit the we're gonna hit the plus button and we're gonna say that we want to have a receive money so we're gonna get paid by the customer and if you were doing like a like a sale of a guitar or something you might make it like an estimate form or something and and then say well we're gonna have this amount of it as the down payment but I'm just gonna say it's gonna go into the checking account so we're imagining someone has a guitar and we're gonna say we want some money down in order for for us to order the guitar and get the right color you want or whatever so Sam the guitar man guitar man is the customer so we already have them set up and it's gonna be for 225 we have him set up 225 I'm gonna say 225 alright and then the item that we're gonna be having down here we're not gonna have an item I'm just gonna put a description down payment it's gonna be a down payment type of situation for 250 and by the way I'm the important thing here it's it's not a direct pay it's gonna be a prepayment prepayment that's the thing that's gonna give us this nice link so make sure to change that it changes this to like a yellow type of field and then I'm looking for a liability account so a liability account I don't think they have one for us yet so payroll sales loan payable suspense so I'm gonna call it a liability account that I will make up that'll be like unearned revenue or something like that or you could call it customer deposit I'm gonna make a new account hold on let me see if I can find the proper account number I need to find a good account number for it so let's say it's gonna be payroll federal liability state let's just make it 2250 2250 okay let's do it 2250 2250 is open and available so then we're gonna say the account is gonna be a liability type of account current liability and it's gonna be unearned revenue because we haven't yet earned it therefore it's a liability and not on the income statement as a revenue account you could call it customer deposit if you would like to too which again isn't an asset of the deposit it's a liability because they've given you a down payment or deposit on a purchase they're gonna make in the future alright so there it is so what's this going to do well it's a receive money form so it's gonna be increasing the checking account and then the other side we assigned it to go to the unearned revenue so that's all great but it also is going to be increasing or it's also going to be tied to the client or customer of Sam the guitar man so that when we create a future invoice we'll be able to tie this payment to it and oftentimes if you hear this in terms of normal parlance like when people are talking to each other they might call it like a credit this is a customer credit the customer has a credit now why does why do we use that term notice it derives still from just debits and credits just from an account and this is kind of my kind of my something that kind of gets to me sometime because the changing of these words debits and credits have gotten kind of messed up in the terminology or they're just used in different ways but really debits and credits just mean the left side and right side of the ledger and so when you say that someone is crediting your account this is our customer and we are crediting their account which either means we're lowering the balance to it because it's an asset to us so if so if we credit it we're gonna put something on the right side of the ledger a credit which is gonna lower the balance or if they don't owe us any money it's gonna be a credit that we can apply to future purchases so credits are usually a good thing so we hear credits being said as a good thing right the client with the clients are happy that we're gonna credit their account because to us it's a receivable and a credit means we're decreasing the receivable or okay so in any case let's save it and go back on over and see if it okay there is it's green we're good to go update and let's see what happened and we're gonna go into the checking account and scroll on down scroll on down there's the 250 right there movie B to the end the other side did not go to revenue but rather went to a liability account because it's unearned so he's gonna scroll down unearned revenue of the 250 now when I look at a sub ledger for the accounts receivable it's not gonna show it the sub ledger still gonna tie out to this on nineteen eight eleven fifty which is fine and we have because the other amount is is a liability however I want to be able to logistically be able to tie this 250 out to the invoice that we're later gonna create so I'd like to when we get the guitar be able to turn around and make that invoice as easily as possible so when I go back on to to our tracking this internally and say okay let's go to the to the business drop-down and invoices and we'll go into our invoices and you can see if I I could see it right there if I go into a waiting payment you've got this PP thing which is great because that should be an indication that that's a prepayment a prepaid amount it's a credit right as they call it right it's a credit that has not been applied it's an amount on the right side of the ledger a credit to a particular client that has not been applied to an invoice and therefore if they purchased something then we could lower the amount you know by that that 250 if we also go to the contact information and I look at all let's just go to all customers and we're looking for Sam the guitar man so Sam the guitar man when when they come in we've got this receive money of the 250 here it is and we see it says prepayment right there so it says prepayment and so now we can the next step would be to create the invoice from that prepayment so really pretty neat that zero does that they I think zero actually handles this better than the you know some chief rivals such as QuickBooks Online at this time so now I'm gonna do it again so I'm gonna go back to the first tab and let's try it again so I'm gonna say that we have another one plus button we're gonna say we're gonna say this is gonna be a receive money form and note again if you're following along with like an Excel problem we may have put it into like a clearing account so that we can then deposit it into the checking account as one lump sum but I'm gonna put it here directly into the checking account so we're gonna have three items in the checking account which might throw us off a little bit on our bank reconciliation but we'll see that when we get there so I'm gonna say continue and we're gonna say this is gonna be for Mr. Anderson Anderson guitars and this is gonna be on let's say Feb 25 Feb 25 and so again I'm just gonna say this is gonna be a deposit deposit something like that and this is gonna be 300 oh by the way I have to hit the drop down making sure that I make this a prepayment that's the key point here and then this is gonna be unearned revenue unearned revenue so same thing what's this going to do it's going to it's a receive money so it's gonna go into the checking account for the 300 the other side is gonna go into unearned revenue as we assigned here and it's gonna give us that's nice link tracking by the customer so that when we actually invoice Anderson for the guitar we can pull in that 300 of the customer credit or prepayment at that time so let's save it there's that one alright let's do one more so I'm gonna hit the drop down again and let's say we're gonna say a receive money form and similar kind of process we got these people now that the words out that we're gonna call it a down payment they can do the down payment thing we've got these customers flowing in like crazy hopefully we can finish the deal so this is Eric music Eric music comes in and they let's make this 225 to as well February 25 and we're gonna say this is a deposit deposit customer deposit that is so what we're talking about there one and let's say $200 deposit this time going into unearned revenue unearned revenue and I gotta make sure that it's not a direct pay I want a prepayment so it gives that credit to the customer account so what's this gonna do it's gonna increase the checking account the other side's gonna be going into the unearned revenue which I just thought I did that I thought I did that already unearned revenue and but it's also gonna give us that prepayment now again if you're following along with Excel or comparing this to like another accounting software then we may have put it directly into the clearing account and in there it would record on a negative receivable possibly but here it's gonna properly record the liability because zero has that capability which is super cool so we'll say okay let's go to the balance sheet and update it so so if you're following along with an Excel problem we might have put it into a clearing account here we put it just directly into the checking account so we got those three items deposits into the checking account the other side is going into the unearned revenue so if I go into the unearned revenue we have those three amounts that are recorded there for three different customers scrolling back up then the accounts receivable is properly recorded now so we don't have like any negative receivables using this format here which is great and we could still track it by and be able to apply our prepayments our customer credits by going to the first tab and if I go to the accounting drop down and we look at our invoices not the accounting drop down the business and the invoices then we can see we have these three right there that are waiting to be applied out when we make a future payment so once these customers come in we could say I could see you got your deposit there so we'll go ahead and apply that to an invoice and complete the process okay so we're gonna continue on with the invoicing and whatnot in future presentation so now let's open up our trustee trial balance and just see where we stand so we're gonna hit the let's go to over here accounting reports and open up the trial balance to check out the numbers trial balance and we will change the range up top change in the date range custom date 2023 the end of end of it and update to make it up to date so then we're gonna scroll down and this is where we stand if your numbers tie up to these numbers great if not then try changing the date range if your numbers tied out last time and they're off this time the things that we changed were of course the checking account and the unearned revenue so you would think one of those two would be the things that were off if you were on last time and so if it's a date range thing change the range drill down on the number that's changed and then drill down to the source document possibly a receive money form and then correct it if that's the issue


Hello, folks. Welcome again to another session on Serds. So far, we have seen Serds, their definition, order of Serds, we compared Serds, we understood the meaning of complete Serds or pure Serds. We also understood how to add and subtract Serds and how do we used making the Serds with the same order and basically converting the Serds into the same order and then we understood how to add and subtract and compare. Now in this session, we will take up multiplication and division of Serds. So the process is very, very similar. So hence, let us take some examples and understand. So let us say we have to multiply third root of 6 with third root of 10. Now, if you notice here, the Serds are of the same order, isn't it? Both are third order. So when the Serds are of the same order, it becomes very easy to multiply. So what you can do is you can write this as 6 to the power 1 by 3 into 10 to the power 1 by 3. And then we can use the laws of exponents to write this as 6 into 10 to the power 1 by 3. And the law which I used is ab to the power m is equal to a to the power m into b to the power m. So now it is nothing but 60 to the power 1 by 3 or this is third root of 60. So in this case, in this example, the order was same. So hence, it was easier. Now let us say, let us take an example, whereas the Serds are of different order. So let us say I have to multiply fourth root of 5 with sixth root of 8. Clearly, this is fourth root. First one is, this is fourth order and this one is sixth order, isn't it? So how to do this? So again, in this case, we try to convert both of them into the same order. So 4 and 6, if you see the LCM is 12. So let us convert both of them into the order of 12. So 5 to the power 1 by 4 it is and this one is 8 to the power 1 by 6. Now 5 to the power 1 by 4 can be written as 5 to the power 3 by 12. We have to convert this into 12th order. And 8 to the power 1 by 6 can be written as 2 by 12. So what do I get? I get further 5 cube to the power 1 by 12 into 8 square to the power 1 by 12, isn't it? So now 1 by 12 is common and now we can repeat whatever we did in the example above. So this becomes 5 to the power 3 into 8 square to the power 1 by 12. So again, what rule? A, B to the power m is equal to A to the power m times B to the power m. So in the reverse order, we have used this law. So 5 cube by no is 125 and 8 square is 64. 8 square is 64 and this is whole to the power 1 by 12. So this will end up into 8000 to the power 1 by 12 or 12th root of 8000. This is multiplication of two serves of different order. What did we learn? Convert them, convert serves into same order, into same order and then multiply easily. Using the laws of exponents, simpler. Now let's take another example. So we saw two cases where serves are of the same order, serves of a different order. Here we will see serves of different order but within the root numbers are same. For example, third root of 2 multiplied by fifth root of 2. This one also is very, very simple. Why? Because it can be written as 2 to the power 1 by 3 into 2 to the power 1 by 5. So which is basically 2 to the power 1 by 3 plus 1 by 5 because we know A to the power m into A to the power n is equal to A to the power m plus n. So taking LCM n simplifying, you will get 2 to the power. 3 and 5 LCM is 15. So basically this will be 5 and this is 3. So hence it is 2 to the power 8 upon 15. Isn't it? Or we can say this is nothing but 15th root of 2 to the power 8 which is 256. So hence it is 15th root of 256. Now after seeing lots of multiplication, let's take up a division as well. So let us say I have to divide 6th root of 4 by 4th root of 6. This is the question. So in this case, what do we do? So it is nothing but we can write this as 4 to the power 1 by 6 divided by 4 6 to the power 1 by 4. Now if you see what is the LCM of 6 and 4? 12. So this can be written and reduced as 4 to the power 2 by 6, sorry 2 by 12, 4 to the power 2 by 12 divided by 6 to the power 3 by 12. Now we have, if you see the order of the two thirds are now same. So hence what can I say? I say 4 square to the power 1 upon 12 divided by 6 to the power 3 whole to the power 1 by 12 which can be further reduced as 4 square by 6 cube to the power 1 upon 12, isn't it? Why? Which rule? A by B whole to the power M is A to the power M by B to the power M. So hence it is 16 upon 216, 16 upon 216, isn't it? To the power 1 by 12. To the power 1 by 12. Now can we reduce it further? I think so, we can reduce it. Why? Because it is, yeah, so 16 is nothing but 8 into 2 and then 2 and basically this is 2 by 27, right? If you see this is 8 times 2 and this is 8 times 2 and 2 by 27 to the power 1 by 12. So hence the answer is 12th root of 2 upon 27. So this is how the division works. So we saw how multiplication works and if the order is same then you can simply multiply no problem. If the order is not same then first convert it into the same order and if the order is not same but the number underneath the root is same then also it is very simpler and then we also saw how to divide two thirds. So always remember making same order helps, okay? Thank you.


From Hollywood it's time now for Johnny dollar Joe Rastelli at homicide Johnny I was out when you called anything new on the Harvey stone killing Joe not a thing But maybe we've already got all we need meaning Helen Barrett. We're still holding her Joe. I don't think she did it No, oh, I know it all adds up to her, but we'll just call it a hunch I'm sure they're fine Johnny, but facts are better. You want to hear some facts? I'll be right over Tonight and every weekday night Bob Bailey in the transcribed adventures of the man with the action-packed expense account America's fabulous freelance insurance investigators truly Johnny dollar Expense account submitted by special investigator Johnny dollar to the home office northeast and dem to the associates Hartford, Connecticut Assignment the imperfect alibi matter location New York City Expense account continued Item 8 a dollar 40 cab fare to police headquarters from my hotel to talk to lieutenant Joe Rastelli Sit on Johnny. Thanks Facts you said facts number one Harvey stone was shot in the left side of the forehead at closed range with the 38 caliber Smith and Wesson the gun was near the body Any prints on it? No, it was clean, but Helen Barrett had gloves with it Helen says she left Harvey's apartment and went to her own to pack up They were going to a lope when she got back to his apartment. He was dead, so she told me Johnny I'd like to believe her too. She seems like a pretty nice kid, but but what not enough facts in her favor Who saw her leave stones apartment? We can't find anyone who did what time she leaves. She can't remember Did anyone see her return? What time? That's a lot of questions not to be able to answer Johnny Yeah, yeah, I know What was the time of death medical examiner figures at somewhere between 1130 and midnight? Well Helen told me she thought it was about 11 when she left Harvey's apartment and about midnight when she returned Yeah about Even if she did leave she only lives a few blocks away. It's a lot of time unaccounted for it Johnny. Yeah Better fill me in on what you know Well as I get it Harvey stone took over the management of his father's corporation when old E.J Took to a wheelchair about a year ago. Yeah. Yeah, I know Two years ago old E.J married an ex chorus girl named deaf. Yeah. Yeah Well, she's about Harvey's age The two of them were apparently pretty friendly and the old man was bothered by it occasionally Incidentally he and Daphne are joint beneficiaries on Harvey's insurance policy 150,000 worth sounds like you're trying to tie the old man into the killing Be quite a stretch Johnny from his wheelchair up in westchester county to harvey's apartment on east 57 I know but right now i'm more interested in Daphne.  I thought dutch kreger was mixed up in this I went to his office afterward and spotted a picture of Daphne stone on his wall Inscription all my love Signed Daphne You think Daphne got dutch to do her and himself a favor, huh? That's a possibility, isn't it? Sure sure it's a possibility Trouble is there are all kinds of possibilities Right now. I got a stick with a probability. Helen Barrett. Uh-huh How are you doing on motive for her? Not good. Not bad We know there was some question as to whether they were going to be married or not Helen says the hesitation was on her part But suppose it was the other way around harvey decided not to go through with a marriage. Yeah Getting cut out of the stone money would hurt some girls plenty Maybe this was her way of getting even with him for breach of promise You know joe for a guy who loves facts seems to me you're edging over into hunches, too I admit it isn't a closed case by a long shot So let's get back to facts Harvey was shot in the forehead with a 38 smith and wesson sometime between 11 30 Excuse me rostelli speaking who What about Oh, we'll send him in Somebody wants to see me about the killing. Oh Your lieutenant rostelli that's right Your hand on the stone killing trying to I want to talk to you about it. Sit down. Thank you. What's your name? Gentry alvin gentry. So what about the stone killing? I killed harvey stone. What? Let's have that again I said I killed stone. I want to make a statement. Why did you kill him? He's making a play for my girl. I didn't like it your girl. You mean helen barrett Who helen barrett harvey stones fiance. No, I don't know her. I mean my girl daris a hatchet girl at barnes. Go on go on The stone was on to make for her every time he came in barnes. He'd make a play for her I told him to lay off and he wouldn't He asked her to go away with him I went to his apartment. I killed him. How'd you kill him? I shot him where I told you in his apartment. I mean where did the bullet hit him? Oh In the chest. What kind of gun do you use? 45 cold. What'd you do with the gun?  I'm telling you get out Look, I don't understand.  Yeah, there's always a string of them That's one reason we don't usually release the caliber of the gun to the papers to help weed out these confessing sands Wonder why they do it Ah, psychiatrist was explaining it to me once something to do with repressed feelings of guilt. I think he said Next one will probably say he stabbed harvey stone with a letter opener. Yeah Well, I'm gonna run on to have a talk with Daphne Stully speaking All right Now look mike you take the statement, huh? Thanks Well, I was wrong about the letter opener johnny. Oh We got a guy now who claims he used a razor on harvey slittest throat from ear to ear As I left I spent about three minutes feeling sorry for rostelli and his crank confessions But then I dropped that routine and started feeling sorry for my own problems The case against hellen barrett looked pretty bad, but I still kept thinking of daphne stone's picture in dutch kreger's office Expense account item 9 320 transportation to the stoner state in westchester coddy I was shown into the king size drawing room again to wait for daphne But then I saw a very interesting site that wiped daphne out of my mind for a moment It was old ej's wheelchair at the door to the solarium And what was unusual about it was that it was empty I edged toward the door then I got a glimpse of ej puttering around his orchids He spotted me though and hobbled quickly to his wheelchair With an abrupt wave he wheeled into the hall and out of sight A couple of minutes later in came daphne Hello johnny daphne You said it was important that you talk to me, but I really don't feel much like talking after What's happened? I'm sure you understand. I think so How's ej taking it my husband is reacting as I suppose any father would who'd just lost his son Be well and hurt You didn't tell me ej could navigate without his wheelchair I saw him a minute ago inspecting his orchids The wheelchair was parked near the door I I didn't think it was important johnny It's true. He can be out of his chair for short periods, but it's rather uncomfortable for him out of his chair for how long Not long enough to get into new york and back if that's what you're wondering Thanks You told me was ej who was opposed to harvey's plans to mary ellen barrett But I found out that you were the one who was fighting it I suppose it was foolish of me to pretend otherwise I guess I just didn't want you to get any wrong ideas about what about the reason I opposed it. What's the right idea? The name of stone means something johnny Dignity tradition breeding I doubt if someone like ellen barrett an entertainer nice as she is Could keep that tradition alive Are you kidding? I'm completely serious Something like this happened once before with harvey secretary martha winters And you stopped it just like you were trying to stop him from marrying ellen.   Yes, it's true. So where do you get off with this? I don't suppose you'd ever understand this johnny But there are chorus girls and chorus girls This I know I had to support my mother somehow But all the while I knew that life wasn't for me And when I got a chance at this life, I took it And since I married edward I've lived the way anyone with the name of stone should live I've put my past behind me Even dutch crigger dutch. Yeah Yeah, I saw your picture on his office wall He was part of the past it doesn't exist anymore Isn't it kind of a coincidence? He tried to worm his way into one of harvey's business deals I had nothing to do with it And harvey acted correctly in refusing to have anything to do with dutch. I see Then you opposed harvey's marriage to ellen to protect the family name, huh? Just as I opposed the previous attachment to his secretary Sure, it wasn't because you didn't like the idea of Competition It's a pretty low thing to say under the circumstances. Well, just what are the circumstances It's It's very simple I've lost someone who was Very dear to me Even though I was harvey's stepmother. We were practically the same age Sure I know people talked about it made crude jokes about it, but I didn't care Because I found in harvey something I'd never had in my life before. Oh, what was that?
