Hi, girlfriends. Thanks for joining me today. What we're going to be doing is going over those products. But before we do, we always take a look at what I have on. Now, I have had a lot of people say, why in the world do you do that? Well, just kind of evolved from the channel. Everybody would ask me all the time about jewelry, clothes, all of it. And so I just got to where it was a part of each video. It's just easier that way for you guys to see it. But I understand if you don't want to see that. So I'm going to put a timestamp right here where you can go ahead and skip past my ensemble and just go to the reviews of the products. Now, we also have a numbering system where each product will have a number next to it. And all you have to do is go down in the description box and look for that number and shop that way. All right, you ready to see what I got on? So we're going to start with the shirt. I loved this big, huge puffy sleeve that it has on here. I really like the way that this shirt lays. It is kind of a chiffon feel shirt. And I will untuck it so that you can see how it looks untucked. It seems like there's just plenty of room. I wear a large and it seems to be really true to size and it doesn't get across my bust, which is what I have a problem with most of the time. So I'll turn and let you see the back. It goes clear down under the rear and I like that about it. But I really love tucking it today. Kind of showed off these pants.  It's just a stretchy high waisted pants. Got this cute little pleat detail all the way down and they are kind of a flared pant, too. I really love these. I think they're so comfortable. They just kind of give an illusion of a straight up and down and then I paired them with some really cute pointed toe pumps and these are in light pink. And then I've been carrying around this purse, which I think I may have shown you before, but I think that it really completes the outfit. I just think it's so cute and yeah, I'll get a little bit closer and you can look at the jewelry. I also got out my pretty little heart puff necklace. This is very dainty. The chain is very dainty. I love it. It's not real gold. Obviously it could never afford that and then also I love these triangle earrings with the hanging down look of feathers. I think these are adorable and I love wearing them too. All right. That's everything that I have on. Let's go ahead and let's get into the products. We're going to start out with the least expensive one and work up to the most expensive one, but really seriously, you don't want to miss. I think it's like number 14 or 16. I can't remember later on in the video because I found a gem and I was really excited to share it with you guys. Number one is coming in at $4 and it is these Essence palettes. These little palettes have six six pans inside of them. They also have a mirror, which is awesome because you could just throw that in your purse, but the quality on this is so good. I really do love these and I have this one in top. It's top it up and mob it mob it. This one, of course, I picked it because I love mobs and purples and this is just a really pretty little palette. The shades are so battery and so easy to blend. This one is dancing green and I really like this one simply because it has a couple of really neutral shades in here and I find myself reaching for this palette in conjunction with these palettes all the time. I really do love these mostly because they just work really good with my crinkly eyelids as I get older. They don't seem to show a lot of texture and I just really like how easy they are to blend. Coming in at number two at $5 or $5.50 about on Amazon. You can get any Maybelline lipstick that you want, but I wanted to specifically share these two with you because I feel like these two cover a gamut of what I'm going to of what I'm sharing. So the first one is called Warm Me Up. This has been touted as a dupe for Charlotte Tilbury's pillow talk and I think it's prettier. I'm not a huge pillow talk fan even though, you know, I have worn it, but it just pulls a little bit too warm when I put it on my lips very creamy and very rich and I've talked about that specific color so many times on my channel. Now what I'm wearing in the middle of my lips today for Maybelline is called Purely Nude and I just put a liner on and then I put this on. This has a very creamy feel to it. These do warm me up as a satin and I believe that Purely Nude is a little bit more matte like but such a nice lipstick. Both of those are fantastic. I feel like they don't bleed on me and you know, doesn't accentuate my lip lines. That kind of happens sometimes as we get older. These have been in my rotation for years and years and I really can recommend them highly. This next product is one that I feel like everybody kind of forgets about and it's the Essence Contouring Duo Palette. This one is $6 and I have the one that is for lighter skin and then they have one that is for darker skin and the reason that I love this is because I like to do this when I want a one-and-done, not just a contour or not just a bronzer. I want to be able to kind of combine the two and you can see that I've hit pan on it and now what I'm doing is I'm just going across the two of them a little bit because I want to be able to use up this powder to these two powders, both of them. I mean, you can see how light that powder is. These are very creamy and very blendable and they do create a beautiful contour. I enjoy wearing contour in my hairline in order to disguise some of my high forehead. I have a really high forehead. So let me just take a little bit of this on a brush and then I'm going to tap it off and I will try to show you what I'm talking about. Beautiful contour goes on and you're going to be able to blend it in and it just works so nice. I put my contour right up in my hairline. I've done that my whole life because of how high my forehead is. Really is a nice product blends really well on mature skin and doesn't make you look like you're dried out and I don't know if I said that or not, but this one was $6. All right. Also coming in around $6 Rimmel Maxi blush. Why I love these blushes is because of how they feel. They feel so buttery and so nice and when you put them on and blend them out on your skin, they're going to give you the most beautiful flush. So this first one right here is called wild card. Now I find that wild card is probably the hardest one to get my hands on. The next one is third base. Let me swatch that one for you as well. Third base is probably the lightest one. So that one's third base and then the next one is more of a coral one. This one is sweet dreams. So we've got a kind of a coral true peach going on right here and hopefully you can see that as well. And then the last one we have is the darkest one that they have and it's called rendezvous and this is beautiful and I know that normally if you're a very light person, sometimes you don't go for the darker colors, but some of these have just enough rows in them or just enough of the little burgundy in them that when you share them out, they're just intensely beautiful. So don't shy away just because the color is too dark. Just blend it out a little bit more. So those are $6. Coming in at number five is what I have on today, which is the Milani cheek kiss blushes and I actually mixed all three of these together today to get my blush. I adore these blushes. They're so pretty and they're so nice. Now I do have one that's called Berry smooch. It's kind of more along lines of a red rose embrace is the next one. This is the one that I use the most and then the last one, let's see what the last one's called. The last one is called pink flirt. Now pink flirt has that peachy pink look to. Oh, they're going into each other. Okay, let's just try to get that out there. Okay, so pretty. Just so so beautiful. I love the texture of them once they're dried down. They just look so pretty on your skin. Let me use that brush I just used. I'll pick that up a little bit and then I'll go ahead and just dot just a little bit extra across my cheeks. So pretty just really pretty. I love this blush and it just blends out like a dream. I think anybody that is interested in looking into liquid blushes you most definitely should look into the Milani ones and those come in at about $10. Number six something I'm really excited about for summer and this is the Cida Phil sheer mineral face liquid sunscreen. This has an SPF of 50 so you're completely covered. It's it is zinc oxide. So at first you do get a little bit of that white cast as you're applying it, but as you go on it just disappears and it's absolutely sheer and I love that it's also not super heavy. So you're not going to feel like you have an extra layer on your skin. That's the other thing I like about it. No alcohol that I saw on the ingredient deck either and I think that's great for us mature women to be able to find one that works so good under makeup and protects us from the sun. Number seven is that new mascara that caused such a fuss and that is the L'Oreal telescopic lift. I have mine in the waterproof formula because I wanted it for my under eyes. I also like wearing a waterproof formula just every day when I'm sweating, you know, sometimes you can get the raccoon eyes or whatever. What's so interesting about this mascara is it does have a nice formula that will build on itself, but it also has this awesome brush. One of the sides is really short and then the two sides on either side of it are really long. So it's a really interesting brush. It is a silicone brush, not a natural bristle brush, but I find that this builds length just absolutely gorgeous. Even though even though we had that whole thing about mascara gate, this is a beautiful mascara. I am wearing it on this eye today. The next mascara that I show you, I'm wearing on this eye. So this lasts all day and I really fell in love with it as soon as I tried it. Okay, if you have been with me for any time at all, you know that I felt in love years and years ago with the Sephora Gel Rouge lip liners. And my very favorite one is the one that I have on today and it's called Rum Raisin. I love these colors. I'm not going to swatch all of them for you. Let me tell you about the texture though. The texture is very much like a lipstick, like a creamy lipstick, but they're in the form of, you know, a lip liner. So I just will outline and then they smudge so nicely because they're easy to work with and they're not a super stiff formula and that's what I like about them.  So they wind up very easy and they really truly have every color under the rainbow. Another one that I really like a lot is called Belflour and it's got a little bit of a lilac in it. I do like that about it. I will wear that one with a little bit more pink and I really think that if you see any of these colors that you might like, I would go for it because these colors are amazing.  They are all my favorite and how many do I even have here? I have eight that are my favorite from this line. Number nine is the Caloray mascara. I have a little tube of it. This is $13 and this is a very buildable, easy to wear mascara that really helps build volume. This is more of a natural bristle brush and I do really enjoy wearing this one. I don't find that this smudges or flakes and I find that it builds up the volume that I need. I actually will use this one to do volume and then the telescopic to do the length. You can get quite good length with this one but I would say that it's more about a volume than a lengthening. It lasts all day. For me, I never get recognized with it. I never get flaking or smudging and I really like this one a lot. By the way, the Sephora sale is coming up pretty soon. Maybe take note of some of these things that you see that you might like because they're going to be on sale or else come back and watch the video again during the Sephora sale. Number 10 is from number seven and this is the Lift and Luminate pressed powder. This powder is phenomenal. It has been likened over and over again to the Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood flawless filter powder. But for me, I like it better. It's lighter. You don't get as much powder when you dip your brush in there. This is the one that I just bought two weeks ago. I wanted to do a little bit darker color for self tanning and we're coming up on summer hopefully someday and this one is the light medium one and the light one is very pale, but it works really good. They are very translucent and they will buff and blur your pores like nobody's business. Just a soft buttery powder that I have been talking about for as long as I could possibly remember and beautiful packaging and this comes in at about $15. I love this powder and I have another one that is light and I've used it and used it and I've never hit pan on it yet. So this is a beautiful powder that you need very little of but it looks pretty on mature skin.  Number 11 is $13 and this is one that one of you subscribers told me about and I'm so happy that you did. This is the Neutrogena Radiant Setting Spray. Now I've researched all the ingredients in here and although it does say something about glycol and a couple of ingredients, they aren't bad alcohols. As a matter of fact, they're humectants. It's going to help keep your face looking more dewy and I love that about it. I like the spray on it, although I don't specifically spray anything on my face.   It works so much better, but this doesn't have like particles in it or anything that's going to make you look shiny. It just doesn't dry you out and make you look matte even though it keeps my makeup on. I don't know how it does it. I think it's a beautiful setting spray. I'm so glad that I heard about it from one of you and I can definitely recommend it. I have three foundations in this video and this is number 12 and this is the by the way. I think I forgot to say that this is $13 the Neutrogena Spray. This one from Sephora is the best skin ever foundation. This is a full coverage foundation and this is one of the best foundations I've ever used. It is a foundation that is kind of satin matte. It covers imperfections like crazy and for me, I saw absolutely no texture with it. So I fell in love with it. I bought a darker color and a lighter color to kind of mix and get my own custom color. I'll make sure that I put both of those down below. But this really is beautiful on my mature skin. Now keep in mind that I am a very dry gal and so I really like something that's not going to feel like it's even drying me out more. So this does exactly what I want it to. I also like a little bit more coverage because of a lot of scarring and I really need that to be kind of evened out. So I love this and I think that you will too. If you're somebody that is anywhere from combo all the way over to dry and even if you're oily, if you just pat a little bit of powder on this, I think that you'll like it too. I also love that their color range is so big. I don't know how many there is, but there is the very, very fairest all the way to the deepest and I really think that they did a great job on the cool neutral and warm at $20. I think that this foundation is a steal. Okay, here's the one I was talking about. It's number 13. So this is the Misha 4-in-1 primer and the reason that I wanted to talk to you about this is you can see right there that it's really quite thick. But when you put your finger into it, it feels so light. I mean truly just light as air. It just sinks into your skin.  I really think that this is every bit as good as the Bobbi Brown face base and it feels very much like that. So at its $21 price tag or $22 price tag, I think that this is equally as good if not better. When I tried the Bobbi Brown one, it really wasn't for me. It just felt a little bit too heavy. This one still feels hydrating, but it feels like it sinks in very quickly too. And I love that about it and I can also feel how it would blur your pores because I can feel that little bit of silicone or dimethicone in it. So beautiful. I love wearing this at $24. This palette from ColourPop is my favorite palette that they have ever made and it's the ColourPop Lust for Dusk and I adore this palette. This palette for me is everything that I want. It's got cool tones over here. Very warm tones and it's got your berries. You've got purple. It's got a little bit of blue and it's got these beautiful icy colors that you can put across your eyelids and it not show texture. This is a gorgeous palette. I have been in love with it ever since it came out, used it and used it and used it even though I have a ton of other palettes. But this palette, I go back and I recommend this over and over and over again, especially if you're somebody that doesn't know what you want to do. You want to have a few options, but you don't want to feel like you're super overwhelmed. I get that part. So mattes are really buttery and really creamy. That's one of the things. It's so easy to blend out. I love this palette and I will forever recommend it and I am crossing my fingers that they do not discontinue this thing because I love this palette and I have loved it for a long time. The next product is from Denise and my Ricks and I don't know if I have heard anybody talk about this product at all. Maybe I'm living under a rock. I don't know, but every time I hear somebody talk about a cream bronzer, I think about what about a cream contour and that is what Denise and my Ricks did in her balm contour. Now there are a lot of shades that are way too warm for me, but the first shade and I don't remember what it is. I'll make sure that I put it up on the screen for you. The first shade I think this is the fairest one she has works like a dream for me for a contour and you can tell I've hit pan on it. I love this thing. It is that muddy look instead of being that bright look that most contours lean towards this is gorgeous and it blends out so well and so easy. I went and I got another one last year in order to have it while I was doing my sunless tanning and this one is a little bit. It's still muddy, but it's a little bit more warm. It did work really good while I had the time though because you get a little bit more of warmth with your sunless tanner anyway. I think it's one that any mature woman that struggles with a powder contour or bronzer that you need to give it a try. I just think this is so beautiful and did I say that was $26 and I got ahead of myself because coming in at number 16 is one that is $25 and it is from Thank You Farmer. This is one that I heard about from Penny from Pence Miss Skincare. I'm telling you, I think I've talked about Penny all week long or all like month long.  This is a shimmer sun essence sun protection and it's a 30 SPF. Now she talks about using this as her primer. This is an extremely lightweight SPF. I cannot believe how lightweight it is and the other thing is it has that tiny bit of glow in it. It's not like a beaming glow or anything. It just gives a reflective look to your face like glass skin and I think that's so pretty. It's super duper light. So if you've been searching high and low for something light as far as your primers go or your SPF, these two products are going to have you covered and I love this one from Thank You Farmer. I think it's just beautiful and I've used it a ton and even if you're out and you want to reapply this, I know it wouldn't go great over makeup, but if you need to reapply so easy to reapply because you don't feel sticky after you put it on. I only put one concealer in here and if you are interested in seeing what my drugstore picks work for concealer, I just did that video, so I'll make sure that I can link that video down below. But this is my concealer that I'm reaching for constantly. I find that this concealer is so good. This is a mini of it. So let me just tell you really quick about the Shiseido Synchro Skin Concealer. It is just a dream for me. I absolutely love that it doesn't look like stiff makeup on me. It's really just blends with the skin and it's just gorgeous in at $31. I think that this, you know, regular size is about what high end and luxury is sitting at. There's somewhere anywhere from $25 to $30. So this is a little bit more, but it is worth it. And if you can get it on sale to even better, I really like this and I think that it's one that mature women will really like because you need such a teeny tiny bit and you can spread it out and it covers so good. Full coverage, by the way. So if you don't really need full coverage, it might not be for you, but it really is one that I have loved for a long time and you can see it's kind of an hourglass dough fit wand there. So this little one, this mini one, I wish that we could find these again because this one lasts me like at least six months or so. But this is a mature woman's concealer all the way. All right. I also fell in love with when it came out was the Denessa Myricks Yummy Skin Serum Foundation. This is a very, very thin foundation and it's also an incredibly gorgeous foundation. I'm trying to figure out how you do. Oh, I forgot.  Comes in a little applicator right there, not a pump, but that's okay. I love that this is a thinner formula and yet you get a lot of coverage, but you also get a ton of hydration on this. This is going to give you that dewy glass like skin. And so if you're somebody that's oily, probably won't like this, but if you're any of the other skin types, I think that you're going to die for this because I love wearing this. It's one of my very favorites. It just looks pretty immediately. You don't have to fuss with it. You don't have to worry about texture or going into your pores or your fine lines or anything like that. And you get coverage from it too. And I just, this is a yummy foundation. They named it just perfect. Yummy Skin Foundation is really yummy and she does have some really good shades too. So it's one of those ones that I was like, well, this is cool. And what's really cool about it too is that this will come apart and you can refill this. So we're not using as much packaging, which I think is a great thing as well. The next thing always reminds me when I pull it out, it reminds me of Mel Thompson because I bought this on her recommendation a few years ago and it just makes me so happy to use this. This is from Benefit and this is the Cookie Highlighter and it's kind of this champagne gold color. Normally I would go more for a champagne pink color, but this one is so pretty. And I think you're going to be able to see it. No problem because look at the reflect on that. Now I worn it on my inner corner on my cheeks, a little bit on my cupid's bow. This is just a gorgeous highlighter. Benefit doesn't have the great pack greatest packaging. I don't think, but at least they're using cardboard that is biodegradable and instead of plastic that might not be as easy to recycle. So this is so good. It's so pretty. Never shows any texture. Now remember my trick that I always say about putting your highlighter under your blush. Definitely try that.  Yes, I know that's a lot, but when you get something that is just so smooth and so pretty with absolutely no glitter particles just shine just glow. I personally think that it is worth it. I do wish they'd come out with a smaller one. I think that that would be great and then a lot more people could try it, but it's so, so pretty.  Number 20 is the Shiseido Synchro Skin Foundation. This is $47. I couldn't believe when I was looking at prices how much things have gone up. So I realize that this foundation does cost a lot, but it is what I have on today and it is flawless. I have loved this one for probably four years. I think that Risa from Risa Does Makeup, she's the one that I heard recommended and I could not believe how gorgeous it was. It just is one of those foundations that you can feel the minute you squeeze it out and you start to work it a little bit on your sponge or your brush. You can feel that it just feels serum like it's going to have a lot of coverage and yet it's not going to look really heavy. It's going to look like skin and I would wear this every single day if it wasn't my job to test out things because this is the one that I gravitate towards when I want an effortless, beautiful look that I know is going to last all day long and this is my perfect color too for when I'm not doing self-tanning. I keep talking about self-tanning, but I haven't done it, but anyway, this is so pretty. No texture. You can build this. So if you need a couple of coats to get a little bit more coverage for yourself, you can do that. I have a lot of discoloration between my face and my chest and it just seems to just cover that up and be no problem whatsoever. I really do recommend this for anybody that struggles with foundation. If you look and look and look and you can't find the right one. And by the way, this one, it says Sink Girl Skin. It does just seem to melt with your skin, turn a little bit, color correcting on it. It's a really cool tone when it comes out of the bottle, which I do love because most foundations are so orange that have to color correct them. I don't have to do that with this one. This one just makes me happy. This is a beautiful, beautiful foundation. And again, I think I said it was $47 and that does seem like a lot, but you know, Nars and all of them, they're going up there into the 50s.  At number 21 is the last item and this is what I have on my eyes today for a palette. This is the Huda Beauty Rose Quartz Palette. I was going through my drawer the other day and I ran across it and opened it and I'm like, Oh my goodness, this is why I love this palette. This is such a versatile palette for me because number one, I love purples and you've got the lavender purple in here, but you can also do a burgundy look and you could also do a neutral look. No problem. And they have these really interesting textures and you can see on my eyelid today. I did use one of these blues on there over top of just this light pink. I really have loved this palette for a long time. Yes, $69. This is a quite steep, expensive palette. Same as Natasha Jenona. I like Natasha Jenona, but I love this palette. This palette just screams Melissa to me and I think if I had the chance to put a palette together, it would be something like this. The mattes that she has are so buttery. They just feel like cream when you put them on and they blend absolutely like a dream. She's also got a lot of toppers in here and she's got a ton of beautiful shimmers, some with a little bit of glitter and then some that are just beautiful shine. This is a beautiful palette and if you can get your hands on it, I definitely would even at the sale that's coming up. It's one of those ones that I feel like every woman would enjoy if you have green, brown, blue eyes. It doesn't really matter. These this palette is going to be one that will set your eyes off and it will just look beautiful on you. And when I, you know, do my makeup in my eyelids are moving around a lot. It doesn't seem to skip or show texture or anything like that. It's just a really beautiful quality palette and who could pass it up with that beautiful packaging, right? Alright, that's it. That's the 21 products that I think women over 50 over 40 should have in their makeup stash starting at $4. I saw one that was starting at $5. I'm like, I think I can beat that. Let's start at $4. So I hope that you did enjoy this today. We went across the board clear from very affordable all the way to luxury makeup. But you know what in all of these, this is very beautiful makeup. It didn't matter whether it was $4 or whether it was $70. It's just incredibly beautiful and I highly recommend them to you. Me down below some of the makeup that you think should have been in this lineup today. I'd love to hear that from you if there's something that you're really loving. I hope you're all doing very well. The sun is shining today, so I'm feeling pretty good. Thank you all for being here with me. I hope that you have a great day and take care of yourselves. I love you so much by my friends.


And welcome to another edition of Daily Tech News Show video. I'm Tom Merritt. Some of you have asked, why do you just kind of start in the middle of a sentence sometimes on video? And that's because we need to give it a little bit of runway. So it catches up with the live broadcast. So you guys who watch on YouTube or subscribe to the video feed, get a little couple minutes of bonus content. We hope you enjoy. I mean, content may be a strong word for what happens before we actually start. Yeah, you got to define content. I mean, it's content in the strictest sense of it contains words. It's contextual, which I think is a derivative of content. Yes. Way around. The related words, for sure. Contains things. Yeah, exactly. I know. You know what? I'm voting. I'm going to rule Judge Johnson rules. Yes, we're going to allow it. Oh, can you please make that a show? Judge Johnson. Let's do it. I know we have Judge Hodgman, but you just do it differently. Yeah, no, there's plenty of room. There was Wapner. There's Judy. There's Hodgman. Yeah. Maybe you could give it a spin, call it the Judging Johnson. People think it's like something really lewd, but it's just you casting. Yeah, but I got a good logo idea just from what you said. The Judging Johnson. Well, only I knew a cartoonist who could make it. Ah, I thought you were a cartoonist. Actually, it's not a bad idea, Judge Johnson. And I could horribly judge situations sent to me and do a few. Yeah, your only big thing is to differentiate it from Judge Hodgman. Yeah, yeah. Because he's nailed the format of being the judge of the internet. That's true. It's got to be a district court to his superior court or something. Exactly. I have to send it. Anything that I can't, that we can't deal with, or it gets us. Yeah, you could send up to Judge Hodgman on appeal. It has to be more of a night court situation. It needs to have a really comedic feel to it. We'll workshop that. In the meantime, let's give the folks a Daily Tech News Show to look at. Here we go. In a world where technology changes faster than the human race can adapt, there's only one place to turn. The Daily Tech News Show with Tom Merritt and guests. But they need your help. Go to DailyTechNewsShow.com to find out how. This is the Daily Tech News for Wednesday, April 6, 2016. I'm Tom Merritt. Joining me is Scott Johnson of the Frog Pants Network, of which we are a part. So it's kind of inception every time you're on, Scott. Yes, I feel it. My top is still spinning, and I don't know if it's going to stop by the time the credits roll. Are you in the show, or is the show in you? I don't know, but I feel like there's a van very slowly driving off a bridge into a river right now. Maybe. I know. Because we're talking about live broadcasts from your phone, we should broadcast from our phone live within the live stream of the show. Whoa. Well, I don't know if we'll do that or not. We'll find out in a second. Let's start off, though, with the headlines. In a second, I mean, a long time. Facebook is adding a live streaming button to the middle of its iOS and Android apps, leading to a dedicated page. There'll also be a map of the live streams. Sound familiar? Yep, it's very periscope-like. You can choose to stream to groups now, or events, not just your normal public friends, et cetera, choices. And viewers can use all the Facebook reactions multiple times. Before on Facebook Live, you can only choose once, and then that was it. Comments and reactions will replay when viewed later, again, like Facebook, or like Periscope. Facebook is paying some publishers to stream on the platform. The new button and the features should roll out to users over the next few weeks.  Yeah, we'll talk about why we are either accepted or excited or not here in a bit. I'm actually very excited, and I have a very specific reason why I'm here. I did like some of the interviews I saw that Mark Zuckerberg gave to various outlets, like Buzzfeed and The Verge, that they said, well, I don't think Zuckerberg gave it to The Verge. I think it was a press person. But they basically said, yeah, it's like Periscope, because those are naturally good features for this kind of platform. Like, they didn't dodge it. And I want to give them credit for that. Like, oh yeah, now we're borrowing from the leader. That's right. Yep, and in a way, that's what I want them to do. Let it sus itself out a little bit, then come to us with a solution that works well within their ecosystem. We'll see if it works well. I haven't yet tried it, but I have thoughts. We'll get to that in a bit. But as we mentioned yesterday, and I'm excited about this too today, the Valdi browser released its 1.0 client. That version came out today, no more beta. They're out of beta. Valdi offers customizable keyboard shortcuts, a command line interface, mouse gestures, tab stacks, which is interesting, and lots of customization. It's actually based on the Google's blink engine so it can support Chrome extensions. That was the number one awesome feature as far as I was concerned when I ran this thing this morning. And they all work great, that I've tried so far, by the way. The team hopes to add email client and the ability to sync bookmark settings and extensions across different machines. Valdi was founded by Apricot founder and former CEO, John Von Tetchner. And I gotta say, working pretty good so far. In fact, I'm doing this hangout over that browser. So- What? You've been doing it the whole time. The whole time, I was in the house the whole time. And the nice thing about it is, no issues so far, no problems so far, only one bug that I'm aware of that's just a little annoying and they'll probably fix it in no time. So far, so good. I like it. It's a nice alternative and I'm always about competition in the browser space. Yeah. I'm hearing myself back to myself now. Oh, weird. I don't know if that's Valdi. That would be really ironic. But I liked the fact that they are saying, this is for people who want to use browsers. They're not trying to make it simple for people who aren't familiar. This is for people who really like to use browsers. They've been using browsers for years. They know how to customize them. They want options. And I love that it is tilted in that direction. One interesting thing about Valdi, no ad blocking built in. You can certainly get extensions for that, I assume, but they're not touching that. They're like, we're the browser. That's not our job. If the user wants to do that, great. But that's something we feel we need to build into the browser. I can confirm. There is no built-in ad blocking service, but regular old ad block in the Google Store, the Chrome Store, absolutely works and works the same as you'd expect. Huawei launched two high-end phones in London today, the P9 and P9 Plus. 5.2 inch P9 has three gigabytes of RAM, 32 gigabytes of internal storage, 3000 milliamp hour battery and an octa-core processor. The version for Asia will come with a dual SIM, only a single SIM in Europe. And the Asian one also will have a 128 gigabyte option, which is interesting. 5.5 inch P9 Plus has four gigabytes of RAM, 3400 milliamp hour battery. It comes in 64 gigs or 128 gigs. Both have micro SD card slots and USB-C connections. And when I say both, I don't mean 64 and 128, I mean both the P9 and the P9 Plus have those. The camera has dual 12 megapixel sensors, one RGB and one monochrome co-engineered with Leica, but built by Huawei, and that camera is getting a lot of the attention here. P9 hits Europe by the end of April and the P9 Plus before the end of May, no pricing, however, has been announced. We're gonna get these phones here, do you know? No details on whether they will come to the United States or when. Well, time will tell, Huawei. Reminders is coming to the web version of Google Calendar. You know those reminders, according to Google blog posts. Reminders work across Google applications like inbox, keep and Google app and will sync across devices. Reminders will stay persistent on the top of the calendar unless the task has been marked complete and already is available for iOS and Android, so that's good news. I use these, actually, so. I haven't been using them because they don't show up on the web. So now that they show on the web, I might start using them. The only downside now is they won't show up in synced calendars, like I use iCal, I have iCal read the Google Calendar, but that's less of an issue for me. I don't rely on those less for my day-to-day management and that's more for just checking something or maybe getting a reminder on a different platform. I also have my Microsoft Outlook calendar that's sync to Google Calendar, so I don't think they migrate to those other platforms. But my big hang-up was, I live in the web version of the calendar a lot and so if the task isn't showing up there, that's gonna be a big problem, so yeah, I think I'm gonna start using this. Cool. Dan Gooden at Ars Technica reports on a paper presented at Black Hat Singapore last week describing how a malicious Firefox extension can leverage vulnerabilities in other extensions to execute malicious code and steal data. Now you may say, oh, okay, but most extensions are secure, right? Well, nine of the 10 most popular Firefox add-ons contain vulnerabilities that could be exploited according to these researchers. The malicious add-on takes advantage of the fact that all JavaScript extensions on Firefox shared the same JavaScript namespace. Firefox has issued new browser extension APIs. They say they are not vulnerable to this attack now and they also have further plans to sandbox Firefox extensions in the future. Yeah, I was gonna say, that's probably your only way to totally ensure this, right? If you don't sandbox it, then you can't control that end of it and people can side load and do all kinds of crazy stuff, so that seemed like a smart move for them. Yeah, and the sandboxing, you know, you can still side load, you can still add your own extensions. It just says, if an extension is running, it can't communicate with the other extensions. Gotcha. The Verge reports on video stitches VR camera, they're calling this the Aura 4i, spelled O-R-A-H, Aura 4i. The 4K 360-degree camera has four two-point, let's see, these are 2.0 fisheye lenses attached to a Sony X-more image sensor and two umbrella video chips. One cord connects to a box with an Intel CPU and video GPU, 120 gigabyte SSD and Ethernet. This thing's gonna sell for $1,800, starts this month, will slowly get more expensive until it hits the final retail price of $3,600 in August. It's a strange pricing model, in my opinion, but also not too bad in terms of cost. If you're, you know, it seems strange, but what it seems like is them running Kickstarter pricing without running a Kickstarter or an Indiegogo. Yeah, a little bit. They're basically saying, well, if you fund us early, you'll get a cheaper price and that's the way those crowdfunding things always work is like, oh, the first 20 people get it at this price and then the next 100 people get it at this price and then the final retail price will be bigger if you don't back us. So they're kind of, that's the way it struck me is like, oh, they're running that kind of pricing structure but without the crowdfunding. Yeah, and I would argue, given the sensors that we're talking about and the hardware we're talking about and the need for this in the face of VR becoming, you know, being rolled out, the price even at $3,600 isn't that bad. If you're a production company that's trying to get content for VR, this isn't ridiculous. You know, this isn't a $20,000 or $30,000 entry level red camera or something. You're talking about something that's pretty affordable depending on what you plan on to do with it and if you're in the market, 1,800 is kind of a steal. So this one. I mean, compared to what those other rigs from the likes of GoPro or Google or any other, and I think Google and GoPro are combining on that but those are, you're talking like tens of thousands of dollars. Sure. Get this, 1,800 man, that's a steal. Yeah, well, I mean, it's not a steal unless you stole the 1,800 dollars. It's still really expensive but it's less expensive. Hey, by the way, Tim said that he heard on all about Android last night that the Huawei P9s would come to the US by the end of the year. I did not see anyone reporting that so I wasn't sure it was for real. But Android Police, I did a quick search while we were talking here. Android Police, citing Wall Street Journal article says coming to the US by the end of the year. It seems like there's a market here. There's so much praise about those phones lately coming out of them. Why not, you know? Who cares? You gotta always be talking about the United States, Scott. Jeez. Who cares about this small 300 million person country? No, I mean, I say that jokingly but the fact of the matter is because we are in the United States, we always tend to report on United States things more. So I try to correct against that. And the fact is, these phones are coming to Europe and Asia first, that is more important than when they will come to the United States. On the other hand, what you're saying about like, hey, the United States is a big market that Huawei wants to break into and these might be the phones that help them do that. That is also a totally legitimate angle on this story as well. Yeah, and the thing to keep in mind the day and it's not too far off, it's already starting to happen but the day when all major motion pictures start to have their debut in Chinese markets first before they come here, they already do this in Europe a lot, we need to start getting used to that idea, everybody. It's okay, it's all right for Star Wars Episode VIII to premiere in China. That's my prediction, by the way. And Big Jim found a CNET article that said it likely will only be sold online in the US and Australia. Very good. Yeah, a lot of things with products are different than the movies, right? Products, you have logistics, like you have to ship them and you have to have distributors and so I am a little more forgiving about products not being released at the same time worldwide than I am about like a movie, come on. I mean, I know you have distribution and stuff but you could do it, it's a lot easier. BBC reports that China's Fang Beijing who is largely responsible for China's internet controls was giving a speech at the Harbin Institute of Technology in China, wanted to show a South Korean website as an example of that country's internet controls but the site he wanted was blocked in China so he couldn't show it. So what did he do? Right there on stage, he logged into a VPN so he could show it. And then they canceled the question and answer session. Nobody in China is reporting on this which is not a big surprise but a lot of comments about it on, say, Sina Weibo or other social networks are not being removed, which is interesting as well. Yeah, actually the combination of it happening and then canceling a thing and no one talking about it but the comments aren't being removed. Like it's such a weird middle space of we're sort of like locking down and then we're kind of not exactly, it's weird. Very strange, great story though. We reported earlier this show that Nest is shutting off its service for the Revolve smart home system in May. Some people just discovered this and got really, really angry. The Nest company spokesman told the Verge quote, we've been working with a smaller number of Revolve customers on a case by case basis since we sent out the first customer notification in February to determine the best resolution including compensation, unquote. Revolve owners interested in possible compensation are asked to contact customer support at help at revolve.com, that's R-E-V-O-L-V.com. Okay, so Nest, at least inside Silicon Valley has a black mark on them, right? So everyone is looking at a Nest story and going, here's another example of how they're all messed up for good orial. Nest also seems to have a little arrogance, kind of an Apple-like arrogance of we're dealing with this with our customers. You guys just stay out of it. We talked to our customers and the customers who responded to us, one angry guy on medium is getting a lot of attention but the customers who responded to us are we're working this out. So you guys just talk amongst yourselves. It seems like this is getting reported again because Nest is not doing a good job of managing the press. It's getting reported as like, Nest gives inadequate response to revolve anger. And the fact is, well, there's definitely one angry revolve customer. I'm sure there are more than that but what Nest says is that they are working with the actual revolve customers and they may be giving them their money back. They may be working on it. All that Nest is not doing is making a blanket statement to everyone saying, this is what we're doing and we're really sorry. It's a matter of Nest arrogance to me than whether they're actually treating their customers, their actual customers well or not. Do you think it's arrogance or is it enough that I don't disagree or that I do disagree because I actually think you're right but could it also be or could you make the argument that they're a company who's decided that we're not gonna bow to every social media blast and every- Sure, yeah, yeah, yeah. Him or whatever. Like at some point, I start to wonder why more companies aren't taking a more vocal stand as to why they're not gonna respond to just all this yelling and hire 15 new people to be on Twitter all day scouring the web for ways to improve PR with angry people or whatever. Like that feels a little like that and maybe it's not but maybe it is. I don't know. Maybe it is. Here's the problem with that. Is every potential Nest customer that isn't a revolve customer that isn't having a conversation with someone at revolve customer support now thinks, well, I don't know if I wanna buy that Nest. They might just shut it off someday. I heard that one angry guy said they just shut things off and then you don't get to use them anymore. And that for whether that's right or not is the perception that's getting out there and Nest needs to be doing something to battle that and the fact that they're not starts to lend a little credence to these reports that Nest is not really managing itself well because that seems like a basic thing that you come out and try to reassure people like here's the transition plan for the revolve users. I know not many of you are revolve users if any but you should know that if this were to happen in the future for any of our other products there will be a plan and you will be taken care of. Do you think a lot of, is it weird that all this backlash seems to be aimed directly at Nest and nobody's actually talking that much at least from what I can see about Google or more importantly Alphabet which this is all a part of now. Is it just not seen that way? It's not looked at as it's subsidiary status and it's they're all looking at it as its own independent functioning company. That's how it feels. Yeah, I think that's it. The fact that Nest is being allowed to be Nest like this is definitely not the way Google would do it. Now we mentioned that when we first talked about this story a couple of days ago. So again, they're being left to their own devices and they will live or die upon them. And they are revolve devices that turned out. My wife does not work for Nest. Totally different division. Angola Cables Essay and NEC Corporation announced Wednesday plans to build the first subsea fiber optic cable system connecting Africa and South America. It will connect Luanda Angola and Fortaleza, Brazil. And in Brazil, in Fortaleza, they can connect to a system that runs all the way up to Miami, Florida giving Africa direct connection to the US. The system is planned to become operational in 2018. So when they say subsea, they mean under the sea, meaning in the earth, under the water. How deep do they go? Do we know that? We probably don't know that. I'm very curious about that. That was not a question I anticipated you asking. So I did not research the depth at which subsea cables are placed. I don't know why that's so curious to me. I'm very curious about how deep you go.  How deep is your net? Yeah, I was just like, how's that work kind of attitude?  I may be wrong about that. But I think they just let it fall down to the bottom. Here's what I do know. There are lots of subsea cables that operate. So I'm not doubting that this is going to work. What is important to me about this story is that you are getting more and more connections to Africa. That gives that continent more reliable service. And as it gets more reliable service, the startups and tech companies that are starting to thrive in places like Kenya and Nigeria and South Africa are going to have more reliable service, which will make them more able to provide the kinds of products that they want to provide. This is what Southeast Asia was 20 years ago, essentially is what I'm thinking. So I think this is significant. All right, well, there you go, 2018. Hurry up and get here. A working group commissioned by the USSFAA. That's a great ship in Star Trek. You should all watch Star Trek. Anyway, commissioned by the USSFAA, rather, released its recommendations on rules for UASs flying near people or overpopulated areas. UASs less than 250 grams are largely okay. Larger UASs must remain a safe distance and pass crash tests with less than 1% chance of injury from full-speed collisions. So if you're taking your drone, why not call them Jones anymore? Your unmanned aerial, what's the system? UAS. Yeah, you better make sure that thing is nice and safe or else you're busted, sounds like. Yeah, well, the manufacturers have to do the crash test. You don't have to crash every single one you sell. And the manufacturers are not really excited about this because crash tests don't give them as much flexibility to change their standards as they go. But the idea is you want to make it so that even if there is an accident, it will not likely cause an injury. But at the same time, you're going to allow commercial operation of these UASs over stadiums, over cities for real estate photos. Allow that commercial usage that everybody has been wanting to do. Curious about it being a similar process to the way cars are tested, for example. Like under what conditions do you test it? It seems like a lot more variables with a flying object. So that's all super interesting to me. And I hope, I assume this stuff gets documented. We'll start to see. Well, it's documented in the link right there. We linked in the show notes right to the report from the committee. And again, don't forget, this is a committee proposal. The last time the committee did a proposal was about the registration system, and that was approved by the FAA within a couple of months. So these are likely to get approved and become the rules by summer, but they aren't the rules yet. And yeah, if you want to know, like what is in that crash test? What do they have to do? Go read this report, it's all in there. Yep, nice and long too. Yes, it was good bedtime reading. The National Journal, the Verge actually passing along that the National Journal is saying that the FBI has briefed Senator Diane Feinstein on how the agency broke into the iPhone, the iPhone 5C that was part of the legal fight with Apple. Senator Richard Burr is scheduled to be briefed in the days to come. Both Feinstein and Burr are working on a new bill to limit the use of encryption and consumer technology expected to be made public in the weeks to come. So the folks who want to weaken encryption are getting a chance to find out how the FBI was able to defeat encryption. Great, at least they're- At least according to the National Journal. At least they're working across the aisle? Can I see that silver lining? No, maybe. Not really silver lining. That is irrelevant. I try not to bring that kind of step up because I have no opinion about it. Of course not, but you know, it's nice to see two opposing sides working together toward a worse thing for us. Is it? It's not. Is it nice? It's nice the word you were looking for there. I feel like maybe you were looking for a different word. The word nice is the only one that came out. Yeah, and no joking aside, the party affiliation of these people means nothing to me for many reasons. The fact that these two senators want to weaken our encryption and are getting a chance to find out how the FBI broke into encryption, which to me should be the biggest argument why you shouldn't legally weaken encryption for law-abiding people is interesting. Again, this is a national journal report. This is not an official thing. And national journal is a publication with its own view on things, so you may want to take that with a great insult as well. Thanks to Kyle D'Abetuele-Condolse and more who submitted things we used from our subreddit. We want you to do that too. Submit stories and vote on them at dailytechnewshow.reddit.com, and that is a look at the headlines. All right, let's talk about going live on Facebook. Fiji Simo, the product director in charge of Facebook's live video, told Recode, we're working with a few partners and in some of the cases, that includes a financial incentive. So they're paying people to do this. They're putting the button right where the messenger button is right now because they want you to use it. They want you to start streaming. Right now, if you haven't got the update yet, like I have it, you have to go to post and then you have to choose the little let's go live thing.  They're actually gonna make this so that you can just press the button in the, right in the middle of your app, Android or iOS and go live. Now, this has become a really common thing for people to do. Periscope, obviously, has taken off, got a lot of buzz. Meerkat had buzz before that and they've been a little bit left on the roadside and they're starting to pivot already. Matt Hohn and a Buzzfeed got a chance to talk to Mark Zuckerberg about this sort of thing and there's three quotes here that I wanna pass along. Well, really more like two quotes here that I wanna pass along because Scott, I think there's a wider question of why people are doing this and it speaks to the fact that Facebook is using so many features that Periscope already had. Mark Zuckerberg said the big decision we made was to shift a lot of our video efforts to focus on live because it is this emerging new format, not the kind of videos that have been online for the past five or 10 years. He also said because it's live, there's no way it can be curated and because of that, it frees people up to be themselves. It's live. It can't possibly be perfectly planned out ahead of time. Somewhat counter-intuitively, it's a great medium for sharing raw and visceral content. So they have been possibly going to spend a lot of money on the NFL and then they decided not to and they've been working with people to strike content deals to bring their content over to Facebook, trying to lure YouTube creators and it seems like within the last month, Facebook decided no, just relaxed, casual sharing is the way to go and here's my thought on this, Scott. Right. Back when YouTube was new, a lot of people scoffed at it and said, oh, anybody creating a video and put it up, well, who's gonna watch that?  It's not that interesting and the value of it was that it was people being authentic. It was the stereotypical YouTube video was, hey guys, in my bedroom, just talking to you and now YouTube is struggling to increase production values. Well, this seems like the next wave of like, hey, you don't have to have production values. You don't have to do anything. There's no filter.  Is this the next wave of that where like, oh, I just want something where I don't have to think so hard because now YouTubeing has become something where I have to increase my production value. I completely agree. I was gonna say the exact same thing. The idea that there needs to be a form of video in the hands of everyday people where nothing's planned, it's all just sort of thrown together is already proving itself out in lots of ways. And it is interesting though to go back to your earliest point about what YouTube was and what it's trying to be now or what it's struggling to be. Not to say they're struggling and Tom's wife works for YouTube and they never struggle because she's great. But here's what I mean. It was that in the beginning.  And all that guy fell down and that guy did a funny skateboard thing. And now it's a lot of high quality, high production stuff, things that rival television and in some cases, rivaling the money that's thrown at TV projects and being thrown at projects that are then put on YouTube. So it feels like that's the evolution of a service. Vine was the same way. Vine started out as quick six second thoughts, very much like live, but archived still but it had that feeling of like this is off the cuff. I just saw this funny thing. Here's six seconds of it, boom, bam, it's up on the site. It's up on Twitter, everyone sees it. What Vine has done is gone through a similar transition. There's still lots of that but there's lots and lots of pre-edited stuff posted with special music, posted with special effects. Like people, especially the big stars of Vine are doing all kinds of sort of pre-prepared stuff. None of that stuff is off the cuff anymore. And this new wave of things like Periscope and now with Facebook getting into this makes perfect sense to me but I also think it goes the same way. Three, four years down the road, it will be a mix of those things. I think it'll probably be a stronger play for them to do the more casual stuff or that's where most of the stuff will end up as more like off the cuff stuff. Why? Well, because it's a social site. It's still a social network in every sense of the word and their biggest strength if you could, I mean, some could argue this isn't true but Facebook's biggest strength is still the social side of it. This is where I talk to my family. This is where I'm friends with my mom. This is where I keep track of people from high school. It's still their kind of core thing. So I think that they have actually a better chance of that remaining nice and organic and off the cuff and less produced over time but there'll still be some of that because numbers are everything and when people start having big numbers then comes advertising, then comes the ability for people to be Facebook live stars or however you wanna put it and there'll always be room for that but they have a real chance here to keep it grassroots and I think that's a good thing. I'm really excited about this genuinely. I've got groups I belong to on Facebook that are wholly unique to any other social part of my internet life and I love the idea that I can just with them, the tadpole group for example, just with them have a little drive through at a McDonald's while I have something I wanna share with them or I can do the same from them. I can just see the people I wanna see. So there's some granularity to this particular proposal that appeals to me more than just random video or whatever. Whether this takes a big chunk out of Periscope or becomes a thing of its own or brings a bunch of kids back from doing stories on Snapchat is a whole nother question. Yeah, I wonder if the- I don't know why that's happening. I wonder if the thing that Facebook will have to its advantage because I think I did a sample today. I did a Facebook live stream and then I did a Periscope stream and man was it different. Now granted, the Facebook live new features haven't launched yet but I got maybe 20 people max watching when I did the Facebook live stream and I made it public. I also don't use Facebook a lot so maybe people weren't paying attention there right then. I did Periscope which went out on Twitter. I got hundreds of people watching and lots of people commenting. Lots of people putting hearts in and all that sort of thing. And it was just a whole different experience. When I was doing Facebook live I felt like I had to think of things to say to fill the time. When I did Periscope I was like I can't keep up with all the comments and things people are saying. It's totally different. Now Facebook live can have that same experience as I had with Periscope eventually. So how do they get there? Periscope has become the place where people live and we've seen over and over a lot that it's difficult, it's not impossible. Facebook did it to my space with social networks but it's difficult to get people to move from one place to another if they've got too comfortable. Don't know if people are too comfortable at Periscope. They got people out of Meerkat before they got comfortable. They haven't been in Periscope that long so maybe Facebook live can do it but I think what you said Scott is probably the better angle on this which is it's about being able to broadcast to a particular person and being able to reach a large number of people. So in other words if I'm Vox or I'm Kim Kardashian there are more people on Facebook than there are on Twitter so I've got a bigger potential audience. If I'm Scott and I just wanna reach AIE folks well there's an AIE group on Facebook, boom. I just start streaming and only the AIE people see it and I don't have to deal with trolls and it's great. Yeah, also you've got two very different approaches. Twitter's approach with Periscope and Vine is they are all separate apps with their own unique interfaces, their own potentially their own audiences but there's a lot of interpolation there where you can say well I've done this Vine video but also show it on Twitter and Facebook for that matter but you can send it out to your other social networks. It presumes this model of the app does the work, that's where we're gonna live but it will share to places I also hang out. Facebook's approach is kind of the opposite of that. They're like this is within the wall of Facebook as far as I know there's no way to tweet your live stream to Twitter and have people watch your live stream on Facebook live, at least not yet. I doubt they'll ever do that but it's more in there, I hate using the term walled garden but it's in their garden and it's kind of kept there. Well the upside of that is it's consistent. It's this one app, it's this one feature, it's among all the other features you're already using. You don't have to get another app, you don't have to deal with trying to combine them all and use all these different interfaces so there's advantages to that and disadvantages. They want it to be closed but at the same time simply use, I don't know how it's gonna pan out but I know that bugs some people.  And that may end up being the fact that there, it may end up being that there's room for both. It may be that folks who are just casually wanting to see what the rest of the world is doing go to Periscope and folks that want to either particularly talk to a group of people or really follow someone rabbitly on Facebook, I wanna see what they're doing, will go to Facebook and I can see both of those things working out. Yeah, I can see that going both ways. The other thing is if somebody goes to Facebook to see my video and they hate Facebook, well I still need to be able to talk to those people. Facebook also breaks the rule. Honestly, I mean, billion people on Facebook. You're not missing that many. A lot of people. It's a lot of people. And if you are missing that many, you're an unusual case. It's true but like if I do something on Facebook and I could push that out to other things, I think that's the way I would like it but. Me too. Bottom line is like the actual conversation that's happening around this and the actual movement forward with video and Zuckerberg seemingly going all in on it, I think says something about the future of this and I'm a big believer that he's right and I think others have proven it right because they've already laid the groundwork. I mean, really, this is Zuckerberg and those guys kind of reacting to the sea change. They're not inventing it. They're just saying, well wait, this is all happening. I still say it's a misstep. Well they launched Facebook live back in August. Then they opened it to everyone in December and by February they had seen that it was getting much more uptake than they expected. Sure. Yeah, they're riding the wave. It's a good thing. I hope it works out for them. I plan to use a little bit more.  They've got users using it in a way that I guess justifies having you leap out and do another app. So that seems contrary to what they wanna do with live video but you know. Oh don't worry. When live video gets successful enough they'll probably spin it out into its own app and frankly there are lots of advantages for the user to having it in its own app. I actually prefer Messenger being a separate app because I don't wanna have to go into Facebook into that morass and try to find it. The fact that I can just open Messenger and deal with that and not get sucked into Facebook is a big advantage to me. Yeah, well I just put up a test. You've been doing tests. Seems to work fine. Yeah. Love to hear what other people think. Let's get to our pick of the day. From Ryan it's called Pyra, P-Y-R-A. A pocket device for everyday computing, gaming, emulation, or hacking. It says it's approximately the size of a Nintendo DS. Runs plain Debian Linux as its operating system. And Ryan says this is from the amazing Michael Morozoch aka Evil Dragon, the guy who helped develop Open Pandora. This is essentially a new updated version of the Open Pandora project which by the way doesn't have anything to do with the Pandora music service. It's being developed by Evil Dragon and he has been working on this a few years now and is now in the prototype stage. So check it out, watch a really cool device being developed in the making. Also as a YouTube channel with a few videos of the Pyra development if you're curious. Pyra-handheld.com, thank you Ryan. Send your picks to us folks. Feedback at dailytechnewshow.com.

In fact, this week on day six, Peter Wells from Australia is going to do a little bit of a contactless payment segment to address how they do use it down in Australia. Stuart wrote in and said regarding those payments in Australia, the important thing to note is Apple pays only available for users of American Express which is a very low number and Google solution is not available in Australia yet. The majority of contactless payments are made with NFC credit card and debit cards which most banks offer as standard, not with mobile phones. We have NFC cards here too. People just never adopted them, I don't know why. Yeah, I don't know why those didn't take off. It's always funny to hear about a thing that you thought was this obsolete thing that was a stopgap deal. It's like finding out somebody's using fax machines like crazy in some remote part of the world because that became the- Well, I wouldn't make that comparison because if you're in Australia and you're using NFC, you feel like you're ahead of the United States. It's like, why are you backwards? Whereas anybody using fax machines, I think we could all agree is behind. Yeah, I don't think, hey, can we find some consensus today on fax machines? I think it'd be pretty easy. Yeah, I would like the people who still require me is in faxes to reach that consensus and they still exist. Arthur writes, could the NFL Twitter deal be the first genius step towards Twitter.tv? I can envision an in-app livestream of all sorts of events or even television with a global comments section. When I rarely attend live events, I already see screens around the stadium with live Twitter streams. Twitter has already been brought to live events. This seems to be a logical step to bring live events into Twitter. Yeah, I agree. Why not? Like if you can get, I don't know what the deal would have to be to strike it, but to get full games, that seems like a possibility. I think what you get before that is stuff like, here's the exclusive after-game interview thing with the coach or here's this thing. Well, they're gonna do Periscope with the NFL. Sure, and since in the locker room, apparently. Yeah, they totally can. So it's an interesting marriage though. I don't actually know how. I kind of, to me, it's like, well, Twitter's already everything when it comes to short messages, let's do it, we're at the game, stuff's happening. But to have a deal with them specifically, how that's all gonna pan out is still really nebulous to me. Like I don't really understand why that's...  You're gonna tap or click and watch the game. If that is truly what I'm gonna get. And when am I supposed to get this, by the way? This coming season, starting in October. In October, if I can watch the Green Bay game, by tapping it in my Twitter app, then we'll talk. Yes, that's what you're going to get. But I'm still not convinced. You just don't believe it? You're like, kick their line? I'm telling you that they're, if this is really what they're promising, and you're telling me this is what they're promising. This is what they're promising. All right. On Thursday nights, only 10 games, obviously, not every single game. Okay, and yeah, right, I can't just kind of pick and choose. And do we know what games yet? We don't know that yet. It's the 10 Thursday night games that NBC and CBS will also be broadcasting on the air. All right. Something about it just seems fishy. I'm not trying to be fishy. The NFL put out a press release saying we will in fact be letting Twitter for free broadcast NFL games Thursday nights for 10 weeks. Is it just going to be the NBC feed commercials and all that? Yes. No, okay. All right. We'll see. I'm not saying that. I'm saying that when that comes around. I'm curious why this is so hard for you to believe. There's some weird caveat that we don't know. That's all I'm saying. I'll admit that it took me a while to understand that they really meant no authentication until I read in the press release that said without authentication. I'm like, oh, wow. So yeah, I get it. It's a little hard to believe, but it's real. If this is real and they do that. See, this is the problem with going and reading unsteady news sources that tell you things that aren't true. You start to not be able to believe the things that in fact are very true. Right. I guess what I'm saying is, all right, let me change the narrative.  Why I think it's outlandish and I'm shocked it's happening and I feel like I need to see it to believe it is because the NFL, the MLB, the everyone, the NHL, whoever, whatever big major sports league, prying their cold white knuckle hands off the steering wheel is just short of impossible. And it has been in the media fight in the media wars for as long as it's ever been. They are the slowest to do anything and to make a change that means that people don't have to have traditional TV to catch live sports or whatever the other reason is. If they just happen to just swing this this one time with Twitter, it seems crazy that they pulled it off to me. So this isn't so much that I don't believe them. I'm just, I'm still beside myself that it's actually- I get it, I get it. By the way, MLB has been ahead of this. Like they were streaming games long before anybody was in the early 2000s. So I wanna separate Major League Baseball because Major League Baseball Advanced Media I think has been ahead of the game in a lot of ways. NFL has been behind, but they're finally taking the steps. Like they let Yahoo stream a game. They charged Yahoo 17 million. They actually gave Twitter the contract for less than the top bid because they know that they can reach a more interesting audience. And here's the key that may help you understand it. They didn't, this is incremental revenue. So in other words, CBS and NBC are still paying the full amount, still get all of their commercials, even on the Twitter stream. It's just another way to watch CBS and NBC. It just happens to be on Twitter as far as that's concerned. So the NFL's making more money by doing this. All right, I'll see the key right there. I'm excited about it. I'm genuinely excited about it. I just, I need to see it, I guess. I just have to believe them. I just need to see it. Rabbi Mordecai Lightstone, which by the way is probably his real name, but if it's not keep it, it's amazing name. Rabbi Mordecai Lightstone said, I know you don't normally mention events and such, but in case you thought it would be interesting, I'm partnering with some guys to create something I think is pretty cool called Hack Over Passover, a pre-pass-over hackathon on Sunday, April 17th. We'll focus on community storytelling through tech. Some of the gear for participants to use include the Amazon Echo and the Oculus Rift. It's open to everyone, regardless of beliefs or backgrounds, it should be good fun. Go to hackoverpass-over.splashthat.com. I love that. That sounds like a real good idea. I know, it's pretty cool. All right, do you believe that I'm thankful you were on the show? Yes, I believe with all my heart that you are thankful on the show. You know why? Because in the past, you've shown to be very thankful. Yeah, I'm extremely thankful. What are you working on these days to let folks know about? All right, so here's something people may not be able to believe until I see it. I purchased a Raspberry Pi 3. It is coming to me. I'm getting it in a kit, so I'm getting all the power stuff and cables and all the stuff you sort of need to get your basics going. I am going to build, and this is still up for debate, but I'm going to build either a full-blown video game or cabinet based on this thing, which will have a bunch of maim-roms on it, to finally build a cabinet, do all the art on the sides and top, like go nuts with it. Or I got one of my dad. My dad used to run arcades. We have an old Pac-Man sit-down model, like the cocktail model, that's just full of all the guts. And I think the other option is to tear that stuff all out of there and build this Raspberry Pi-based emulator into that thing, so that now I've got kind of a little bit of the old and new. The trick is finding like a 12-inch LED. But anyway, I'm going to document the whole thing on YouTube. So if you'd like to watch me do that, I'm going to post the entire thing as I do it over at youtube.com slash scottjohnson and go, you know, sign up, not sign up, but go, you know, like the site. That's what the YouTube is saying. That's the word, that's the word. And you'll be first to know about it. So I'm really excited about it. More details at frogpants.com or on Twitter at Scott Johnson. That's really cool. I can't wait to see you put it together. It's going to be so much fun. A little project for me and the boy. Me and the son, we're going to do this together and try to learn something. And I'm usually terrible at these DIY things, so, or DIY things. I'm so bad at them, I say, DIY. You yourself it is how I say it. So yeah, it's going to be a challenge for me, but I'm, I think I'm ready for it. So bring it on. Excellent. And thanks to everybody who supports the show.

The NFL on Twitter, prove it, you can't. Prove it, you can't. That's right, I was basically doing that. Another Jay Martin said that in the chat room. That was great, I liked it, I liked it. It's a fun conversation. I don't know why I'm so none-plussed about it. I get that it's shocking. It's like, really, Twitter? And it really makes you, yeah, for sure. If any social media service is gonna get it, it makes sense that it's them. Like that part I get. I just don't know. I think Facebook would have also been interesting. Do we know who the second or the highest or best better was? Apparently Verizon, Yahoo. Who was the other one? We had it in our story. Yeah, what's Yahoo? Streamed the first internet-only game, well, not internet-only, it was still broadcast. That one from London. It was like one of those board meetings where the, or shareholder meetings where they'd say you guys quit dorking around with stuff like this until we become successful. Amazon, Verizon, Yahoo, and Amazon. I don't know if they all outbid Twitter, but those were the other three people that were rumored to have been in the run. So if Amazon got it, they could have had a chance to change the Super Bowl to the Bezos Bowl. No, because they didn't get the Super Bowl. They got 10 first internet games. Not. They could have named those 10 games the Bezos Bowl. Okay. There, you happy? Sure, fine. Listen, the choice to go Twitter's cool because there's a mobile aspect of this that doesn't exactly exist in the Amazon ecosystem, for example. I mean it does, they have an app and you could do something, but this is more like, oh, look what's going on. Denver's playing so-and-so. Watch it. Show titles? I like that. Show titles? Leading the pack is Vivaldi Makes Your Browser Sing. Hey. Third, coming in second was Judge Johnson. That's a pre-show. Following that is Subdog. I heard you like frog pants. You don't have to read all of them if you don't like them. Screw it, we'll do it live. It's like Periscope. Virtual private news show. My wife does not work for Nest. Stream taste test. Do yourself it, Yoda. Do yourself it? Isn't it ironic, China? Don't you think? If you added that, that would have been funny or Dr. Paine. Revolve anger to bring revolution. U.S.S.F.F.A.A. U.S.S.F.A.A.C. That NFL guy on Twitter lied. They're making TMS references now. Mo cable, mo cable, mo cable. Prove it you can't and the guy on Twitter lied or total TMS. Yeah, yeah. That's funny. Vivaldi Makes Your Browser Sing is probably the most cozy. Got on a Raspberry Pi. You won't believe what happens next.  All right, what are we doing? What do we got? So, I'm ready to export. I need a title. Vivaldi Makes Your Browser Sing. Huh? No, Vivaldi Makes Your Browser Sing. Yeah, I guess we talk about Vivaldi enough. All right, then we will do the next best, which is we're doing it live on Facebook. What do you like? I like that reference, but I also hate that reference. The Facebook? Yeah, it's kind of old. No, that we're doing it live. How about what about it's coming from inside the stream? No. Let's go Vivaldi then. When you have a blood infection. All right, done. Vivaldi Makes Your Browser Sing. Yeah, Sing. We're gonna make your browser talk. So, I don't know what that repeating thing was, but that used to happen to me on Chrome too, and that may be why there's so much Chrome similar stuff going on that maybe it does the same repeaty thing and Safari never does it. When you were using Chrome in the past on Hangouts, that would happen. Yeah. And they're based on the same engine, so maybe that's part of it. When you asked me in Slack if it went away, I thought maybe you had done something, but no, all right. Just, I mean, it could be just random. It could have just been a random thing.  I heard it. I heard it. Oh. Yeah, so. It probably means it's on my end, so to be safe, I'll do the. Probably Vivaldi. Vivaldi also makes you echo. It's because it has the acoustics to sing. That's right. You need to set your browser to hall audio mode, symphony hall mode. Why don't they ever have a coffee shop mode where it's just like crappy acoustics. Some guy on the, some guy making a latte with that steamer for the background. Customize it. Someone crunch chewing on a biscotti. Carsh, carsh, carsh, carsh. Carsh, carsh, carsh, carsh. I hate biscotti, by the way. It's gonna just make less. My wife loves them. I can't stand them. They're like very. Outfield are named biscotti. Plays for the Cardinals this year. He's got a great arm. Is he too sweet and gets soggy in coffee or no? Nobody can throw people out from far, far away in the outfield. All right, that's not bad. Sesame seeds. That's a weekly sale. Wait, who coughed in the background? Oh, I think that was Nick. Secret Johnson's. Wow, that would be an awesome name for a reality show. The Secret Johnson's. Only on Showtime, only at midnight.  I'm all in. Spreading, spreading rumor and hope.  I know, even the truth is hard to believe now. I don't know what's real. I don't know what's real anymore. It's real life? Is this my life? Sounds like a talking head.  I don't know. I don't know what it is. You can't. I'm skeptical about that more than I am about things. I 100% support and admire your skepticism. That made for a great conversation. It does.  A healthy dose of skepticism will keep you alive. Except when Scott and I do our 1913-era show and we high respect your opinion. That's a fine opinion. Now, if I may be allowed to embroider it, just a smidge. Embroider it with what, your name? It was a metaphor. Was it a metaphor or just the wrong word? No, it's a metaphor. It's a joke. Metaphor, it's a metaphor. Ah. Don't bring your 21st century sense, his abilities into my 1913-era. Better four. That sounds like a good name for a candy bar. Not bad, the metaphor. Milk chocolate over caramel cookie-whippers. Isn't that a Twix? A Nugidi? I don't like Nugid. I don't know what it is. It's chewy and sometimes it pulls on my feelings. I like Nugid. I'm trying to remember who said it when I was a kid. Ted Nugid. Because whoever said it, if they didn't, if I get it wrong, it's really bad. But there was someone in my childhood who was, we were talking about bicycles and they were like, yeah, I really love bicycles. I'm a pedal file. Oh, man. And we were like, and then we said it to my parents and they're like, you really shouldn't say that. Yeah. And we're like, why? But he likes pedals. It's great. I used to call it a pedometer. I called it a pedometer. I don't know what time. My grandpa used to call this pedometer the speedometer. That's, there were folks back in high school who were teachers. He used to call it a speedometer. I was, he actually knew it was pedometer but he just thought it was funny to call it a speedometer. A speedometer. We have on the core podcast, Beau refers to skeletal as skeletal. Skeletal? Judge skeletal. Don't you remember him? Yeah. He judged the masters of the universe. I used to say, on Buzz out loud, I used to say nanometer just, because I said it one time to be funny and some guy wrote a scathing email to me. So I just kept saying it. Right, stick it to him. You know what, they write you a scathing email, you write back a scalding response. No, I just didn't write back at all and then I kept saying it. Yeah, you wrote the same word. He wrote me again. I was like. I wonder if there's a, I'm thinking of like, it would be a great startup idea is so instead of having a delivery like flowers or get well cars or like the fruit arrangement, you could have like a spiteful, not remark, but like, you would send someone, to someone you didn't like and they would do something like a prank or something annoying or, I don't know, what would it be? What would you call it? Like an anoyagram or a. Anoyagram, is that what you're thinking? Something snappy, I don't know. Backhandagram. The 14 nanometer process. Nanometer. Well, it's this kilometer. Why can't it be nanometer? Isn't nanometer the guy from the north? Nanometer of the north, or is that? Well, unless you're talking about a very small nanoc, I guess he could be a nanocometer. Nanocometer. I just found something super annoying. I still have the Kerrio website like in my bookmarks. Bookmarks, yeah. I loved that service when I was here and as you recall it was like, we were one of the only cities and I was just, I loved that thing and it went away and I just noticed that it's now longer being able to be reached. Oh. Well it was slc.arrow.com. Yeah, it's owned by Tevo now. Yeah, let's see. You go to the main site. Oh, Tevo is keeping the Aero Dream alive once you receive it on there. Yeah, cause you can sort of roll your own but if you have reception, one of the big advantages of Aero is for people who didn't have good reception for over the air. I think even though they lived in the market. But too well, you know PlayStation View, my friend Joe uses it and he was real excited about the fact that ABC is now on there. He's like, we get it all. It's great. Yeah, and the price dropped or something. Yeah, they dropped the price down. Yeah, it started available nationwide. It's looking more interesting than ever. I don't know how they're chipping away at that and making it cheaper, but maybe they weren't doing well with the, I don't know, it was so pricey before and you didn't get everything. And it was just like, well, I'll just do cable. Lost leader, I guess. Well, get people to buy more PS4s. Yeah, I'm interested in that. The PS4 I thought you had one. Sorry? Oh, I thought Scott already had a PS4. Oh, I do, yeah, yeah. I have a, I don't have an Xbox One because I've yet to be convinced I need one. Yeah, you don't need one. I will say I traded my PS4 for an Xbox One because I watched, 90% of my use of it is video watching and the Xbox One is super quiet even after like four hours running. Because I mean, they built it as a, maybe some might say overkill because of the Xbox 360 overheating issues. So it has this huge one, massive fan that spins over the chips and it's super quiet. Unlike the PS4, after a while you can hear it whine if it's out of an entertainment rack or something. Oh, good look. Uh-oh, what happened to? Oh, I minimized it, why didn't I do that? All right, thanks everybody for watching. I'm out of the post. We'll see you tomorrow. Yeah, do it all over again.
