The 404 253: Where no one cares about Macworld Video Transcript

[ Music ] ^M00:00:04

>> What's going on CES?

>> Here we are.

>> Giving the 404, I'm Jeff Bacula.

>> I'm [inaudible].

>> And I'm Justin You.

>> And this is the show where no one really cares about Mac World anyway.

>> Mac what?

>> Mac World.

>> Oh, is that that other one going on, on the west area?

>> There's something else going on.

>> Right.

>> Anyway, we got Ariel Nunez on the show.

>> Hello. [ Several talking ]

>> Thank you for having me back.

>> Well, that's, that's our pleasure.

>> Yeah.

>> Because you're a great guest.

>> I was a last resort, I know it.

>> No, it's fine.

>> I know like.

>> There's plenty of people.

>> You went through the whole list.

>> Natali Del Conte was busy, Brian Hong was busy.

>> Yeah, exactly. My point, I know, I know. I know how it goes.

>> Tom has to go to the bathroom.

>> Your janitor at CNET.

>> You're our first and last choice.

>> That's fine.

>> You're our first and last choice.

>> I understand.

>> But you just got in last night, right?

>> Yeah.

>> You were at Mac World.

>> I was at Mac World. And it did suck.

>> So, so now do you know what happened at Mac World? I don't.

>> Well I know they released a new 17 inch and I heard something about like the new feature in Garage Band. But I, I think you're better to explain it.

>> There was a 17 inch Mac Book announced, which was probably the coolest announcement. And then they also announced you could get it without the glossy, that glossy.

>> Oh.

>> But you got to pay more.

>> So can I return mine?

>> I don't know you could try.

>> Because I bought a 15 Pro and I can't go outside with it because I get a sun tan. [ Laughter ]

>> I'm going to get a sun tan sitting in here.

>> That would be a blessing for you.

>> You might want to hold onto that one actually.

>> Yeah.

>> So, so what else is so cool about the 17 inch?

>> That's about it.

>> That's it.

>> It's a bigger screen and.

>> Still the same unibody design though, right?

>> Yeah.

>> Same unibody as the 15 inch, plus it's got the eight hour battery, right?

>> Yeah.

>> Algominium?

>> Yeah, algominium design. Oh, yeah, the battery lasts longer too.

>> Oh, ok.

>> It's not going to last.

>> Probably not.

>> You can't replace the battery, right?

>> No.

>> You can.

>> It's not as, the ones, the one I just got, you could pop off that little thing in the back.

>> Yeah.

>> Shimmy out the thing.

>> But I heard this really cool thing, it was about Garage Band. Garage Band I think the newest feature was that you could do ring tones last year, right?

>> Yeah.

>> But this year I saw a little video and it was, was it Sarah Maglachan and some other people are actually teaching you how to play musical instruments.

>> But she's in, Rock Band, Garage Band.

>> Well it's another thing you have to buy, but you could down, you could pay for lessons from professionals to teach you how to play like guitar.

>> Really?

>> Are there any other cooler artists other than?

>> Sting.

>> Sting?

>> Yeah, Sting. I want to learn from Sting.

>> I would learn.

>> The Police, are you kidding me?

>> Yeah.

>> So that was probably the other cool announcement. Everything else was kind of.

>> Yeah, you know you were telling us earlier that some of the keynotes weren't up to par.

>> You mean this keynote?

>> Yeah.

>> Keynote was definitely the worst keynote.

>> Hands down the worst.

>> Hands down, hands down.

>> Ok, I saw a little bit of the video and you know like Steve when he comes out, like women are ripping off their shirts and guys are.

>> I don't know what shows you've been watching.

>> Yeah, usually Brian Kong ripped off his shirt when we were there, but for some reason he didn't.

>> But, but Phil Shiller when he comes out everybody is like, oh.

>> It's like a slow clap. There's like oh you're not Steve Jobs.

>> Yeah.

>> He's, he's the one starting it, right?

>> Yeah, yeah. It was pretty boring.

>> He didn't even wear a turtleneck.

>> Nope, no turtleneck.

>> I thought he'd pay some tribute with the turtleneck.

>> Well, you know I thought all Apple employees had to do that, because you watch the guided tours and everybody has the black shirt on.

>> 90 degrees and wearing turtlenecks.

>> Nope, nope, they didn't even do that.

>> Alright so it was kind of nothing special.

>> It was very boring. They announced iWork.

>> iWork?

>> Yeah, you know.

>> Ok, 09?

>> Yeah.

>> That's great.

>> Which I don't care for. iLife, which is cool because that's what Garage Band comes in, oh and iPhoto, there's new pieces in iPhoto where you could tag faces, kind of like on Facebook.

>> Ok.

>> Yeah and you can tag places too.

>> Oh.

>> So Google maps comes up and shows where the picture was taken and stuff like that.

>> I like that. I'm ok with that.

>> But all in all, this year pretty disappointing. They were supposed to announce like a Mac Mini, right? That didn't happen.

>> No.

>> There were also some rumors about a iPhone Nano, that didn't come out.

>> Didn't happen.

>> iPhone Nano?

>> People were saying a smaller iPhone.

>> A smaller.

>> That's all rumors.

>> Who needs a smaller iPhone?

>> Everyone needs a smaller something. [ Laughter ]

>> Let's move along.

>> So we're here at CES, let's talk about the experience that is CES.

>> Ok, first of all.

>> So this is your first, this is Justin You's first CES ever.

>> Yeah, yeah, it's pretty good, you know I mean we're in Vegas right now.

>> Yeah.

>> Feeling, feeling good.

>> Are you?

>> Yeah I haven't even gambled yet.

>> That's a problem. You're going to change that tonight.

>> No, I'm a terrible gambler. I'm like 20? Hit me. [ Laughter ] I'm an awful gambler.

>> But ok, so I get into the, the city a little bit later than you guys.

>> Right.

>> The moment I turn on my phone, I see 18 Twitter messages from Justin You about how awesome everything is in Vegas.

>> Well, ok, let me, let me explain something to you.

>> Do you want to feel bad now or later?

>> Yeah. Ok, let me crack this Wilson story with my own. You guys needs to check out our hotel room, ok? We'll put pictures of it on the blog.

>> Email type in Vegas and you want to check out Justin You's hotel room.

>> Just go watch I Am Legend. It looks like Will Smith's house in I Am Legend.

>> Wait, where are you at?

>> We're at the Palms Place Hotel.

>> Palms Place.

>> I'm not there.

>> They just built that tower this year.

>> Because last year the thing wasn't even here.

>> Yeah, no it's not there.

>> Then just like, hey.

>> Popped up like that.

>> Palms Place.

>> Ok, I'm going to give you a little list of what we have in our room that'll make you.

>> I'm going to be mad, go ahead.

>> It'll make you want to jump off the [inaudible].

>> Ok.

>> Alright, we have three TVs.

>> Three.

>> Two HD TVs.

>> Alright.

>> For no reason.

>> That are about 50 inches wide I think.

>> They do diagonal. Yeah, that's how they measure.

>> 12 inches apart from each other, ok? So it's not even like they're on opposite ends of the room.

>> You can watch a different channel with each eye.

>> Yeah.

>> Well ok, why?

>> I don't know.

>> Let us finish.

>> A TV in the bathroom.

>> Yeah, with a DVD player.

>> Why?

>> What's in your bathroom? [ Laughter ]

>> Wait, don't answer that question.

>> My bathroom light doesn't even turn on, so let's not even go there.

>> There's also a phone next to the toilet in case you get stuck and you can call the police to tell them to come.

>> That makes sense.

>> Which would have worked out for that woman we talked about that one time. But anyway, that's neither here nor there.

>> So there's a lot to love. There's a huge balcony, there's a waterfall style shower that basically just drops water on you.

>> He can't believe it.

>> It's like the heavens raining down on you.

>> Are you in the same place?

>> No, no, he's.

>> I'm staying at the Resident.

>> Ok.

>> They're staying at the dumpster next to [inaudible].

>> Oh.

>> Call it a dumpster.

>> Compared to ours, everything is a dumpster.

>> Well, oh, alright.

>> No, but.

>> Speak for yourself guy.

>> It's hard for me to even get out to CES because I'd rather spend it in my room.

>> Yeah.

>> Yeah, the party is at my place tonight. Let's put it like that.

>> Yeah.

>> Alright, so let's, let's move along, let's talk a little about.

>> What about Twitter?

>> I was going to talk about Twitter because things have started to happen. We've been here less than 24 hours and already there's a situation.

>> I think the 404 has discovered the power of Twitter first of all.

>> That's right.

>> Because.

>> So wait, whose fault was it that I just got like 300 ads for Twitter over night?

>> That would be me. It's called publicity.

>> No I understand.

>> Google it. [ Laughter ]

>> Just Google it.

>> I understand, I'm down with that.

>> No we had a Twitter for a while. You can check this out, Twitter.com/the404.

>> Yes.

>> And we Twitter every once in a while, but we figured CES would be a good opportunity for us to get the word out about the show.

>> Absolutely.

>> But apparently we got hacked today. Right?

>> Brittany Spears got hacked.

>> Yes, that's who they were going for. They were like oh let's get Brittany Spears and let's get a mediocre pod cast.

>> Yeah, you guys should definitely go to our, our Twitter and check out that.

>> Yeah, we can't repeat half the things that are on our Twitter.

>> I don't know who did it, but there are some very inappropriate, unsavory things.

>> Yes, yes.

>> So, so speaking of Twitter, did you hear about our, our good friend, friend of the show, Natali Del Conte, what happened to her?

>> I did hear about that, yeah.

>> About what.

>> About Mister Luda, last name Chris.

>> Yeah he. [ Laughter ]

>> So, so she interviewed him, what, what was it regarding?

>> It was about a high def hip hop album.

>> Ok.

>> Apparently he's the first hip hop artist, apparent, this is what he says. The first hip hop artist with a high def hip hop album.

>> Wow.

>> Which I think is total crap.

>> What does that mean?

>> I don't know what that means, man. Like I don't know if it's 5 point 1 or is it 96K, like 24 bits?

>> It's the first 1080P rap album.

>> I don't really know.

>> That doesn't make sense.

>> We were watching the footage and you could see Luda just sitting there just like.

>> Yeah he. [ Laughter ]

>> But then we were saying like what does he have anything to do with the way it sounds though?

>> Yeah, first of all.

>> After the boost and record. You know what I mean?

>> You don't listen to hip hop to appreciate the subtleness in the music, alright?

>> Yeah, you're not like wow, this is.

>> Yeah.

>> That's Hammer.

>> Oh wow.

>> You can feel all those [inaudible].

>> But the real story here.

>> Wait, before we get there, first I want to talk a little bit about Luda.

>> Ok. Yeah, sure.

>> So he, he's in the CES vault.

>> Yeah.

>> Into the music and if you're here, you can't hear anything.

>> He's the only one that can hear it?

>> He's there just trying to appreciate the music.

>> Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well yeah, he's got to look like he's into it. It's his own album. You know, he can't be like.

>> He's not going to be like.

>> But yeah the real story is afterward apparently he went up to Natali Del Conte and commented on how nice her legs looked in the interview.

>> Let's, let's quote the Twitter as it happened. It said, just interview Luda Chris about his new HD sound album, after interview he said quote, nice legs by the way.

>> Which we're not going to disagree with but.

>> No, I'm not going to say anything.

>> Professionalism.

>> I just.

>> I'm surprised Natali shared that with the rest of the world.

>> Hey, if Luda commented on my legs, I would probably Twitter it too. I would, and maybe if he saw them he would. [ Laughter ] So Ludicrous if you're listening.

>> Come check out my legs.

>> Check out my legs.

>> Twit about that.

>> I'm a big fan of Ludicrous's music and you guys should all go check it, check out this new CD I think.

>> Absolutely, it's in HD. Appreciate the HD.

>> I listened to it. I didn't know it was HD. It sounds like.

>> No, you can't tell the difference.

>> Is it good though? Do you like it?

>> It's cool.

>> There you go. Ludicrous is listening to this.

>> Oh, oh he is?

>> Oh.

>> Where is he? Oh, sorry sir. Oh, hello. Oh my god. [ Laughter ] You can buy that album.

>> So, alright, what are you looking forward to at CES?

>> Going back to my hotel room I think.

>> Well, everyone knows that. I am too man, but I don't want to make Ariel and.

>> Yeah, come on.

>> If I want to bring something up, I want to bring it up really quick, really quick.

>> Yeah.

>> I was walking around the CES showroom floor, noticed some signs for another convention going on at the same time.

>> Oh.

>> I've been following CES for a while and as I understand it's been, it's not a secret that there's another conference.

>> Careful.

>> Yeah.

>> First of all, we're not allowed to.

>> No, we'll talk about it very briefly but, I mean.

>> I don't know.

>> It makes sense because aren't they always on the forefront of technology anyway?

>> I think so, yeah. There's a lot of money to be made there.

>> So Ariel, you got double patches right? I don't know how you.

>> What are you talking about? What are you talking about?

>> He's looking.

>> I have no idea.

>> From Children's Video Network.

>> No, in all honesty, I'm looking forward to, let's see, looking forward to HP?s new announcement and Sony's new announcement tonight.

>> Yeah.

>> About?

>> About a new laptop.

>> Laptop.

>> I'm not going to go into more detail about it, but I'm really excited about it. What about you guys?

>> Well I've been here at the CNET stage, we've got products coming in and out, but I think the coolest one that I've seen so far is actually the LG Dick Tracy watch. Have you guys seen this?

>> No.

>> No.

>> It's this new sort of advanced, you know watch. It's got a display on it, a touch display I think. I don't really know that much more about it because apparently nobody can actually use it besides an LG.

>> Oh, so you can't go buy this thing tomorrow.

>> No, not yet.

>> I had a Dick Tracy watch when I was 10 years old. Is it the same thing?

>> Lord.

>> Do you actually use it? Is there technology here?

>> I think it's got an alarm clock.

>> Ok.

>> And that's it?

>> Maybe you can surf the web, flash built into it. [ Laughter ]

>> Maybe it'll call Madonna over to you.

>> It better.

>> That would be worth it.

>> What about you Jeff, what are you looking forward to?

>> Well, as everyone knows, video games and CS aren't the best of friends.

>> Right. If you guys didn't know, Jeff is our coveted video game editor for CNET.

>> So there's nothing really regarding gaming at all. I mean, there's a few accessories here and there, but there's really nothing to melt over.

>> Well usually they have a lot of those seats that you can.

>> That's some.

>> Play video games in.

>> Right.

>> They vibrate.

>> Yeah.

>> There's always a lot of those.

>> Well yeah and there's, at the other expo as well.

>> By the way.

>> I don't.

>> No? How many basements do you think there are in the Midwest that?

>> That can.

>> That have kids living in there?

>> But some of them are cool, some of them have like a little 5 point 1 embedded in the actual chair itself. So that's pretty cool.

>> That's alright.

>> Little cup holder, right?

>> Right.

>> And a fold out tray for dinner.

>> Yeah. There's like a false bottom too.

>> Toilet.

>> Yeah.

>> Refrigerator on the side.

>> Right.

>> You'd never have to move. You just play fall out.

>> Better than your hotel room.

>> For seven years. It is, it's the Palms Place in a chair.

>> Yeah, that's right.

>> So you're saying there's nothing going on for video games at all.

>> There's a few things from the big sort of top name, third party mention. I mean yes, there's going to be plenty of Wii spatulas and.

>> Yeah.

>> Frying pans and stuff like that. But there's not going to be, yes. You know there's going to be plenty of those, so that'll be great.

>> Controller?

>> Yeah.

>> I'm looking forward to the Wii blender that you press the button.

>> Right.

>> Hold the top.

>> Wii blend.

>> Saw that once.

>> It's coming out? Alright.

>> But there are a few diamonds in the rough so you know if and when they are at the show, I will uncover these hidden gems and.

>> Right.

>> We'll talk about them.

>> Ok.

>> As the show goes on.

>> And you as the person that gets to cover the coveted printer beat.

>> That's right.

>> What's hot?

>> I know everyone's been waiting for it, so I saved the both for last.

>> What's your recommendation?

>> There are so many printers coming out. I mean.

>> How does, what was the biggest advancement in printers in the last 10 years?

>> I know, this is actually a good question.

>> It is.

>> Individual ink cartridges.

>> That just makes me spend more money.

>> Yeah, but you can replace each one as they start depleting.

>> Bad though, because like at first it was like black and then the colors.

>> Right.

>> Like red, green and blue or red, yellow, whatever.

>> Right.

>> But then they started doing all the ones in the middle. Are they going to do like the tertiary colors, like 12 different.

>> Not tertiary. You should have just said printers and then moved on. And then Ariel, what are you looking forward to in this show?

>> I don't know, everything.

>> Yeah.

>> Everything.

>> Yeah, whatever. I'm looking forward to the monster party, there's a party, monster.

>> Oh monster party. I was here last year.

>> There's going to be a lot of good parties.

>> I just talked to Brian telling me last year they had Mary Jay Bilge party.

>> Oh my gosh.

>> And Doctor Dray.

>> And Doctor Dray.

>> No really?

>> And they were all pimping.

>> That's right.

>> Monster products.

>> Of course.

>> You had Mary Jay Bilge going Monster and the audience would [inaudible].

>> Really?

>> That's so dumb.

>> That must have been the coolest thing ever.

>> Oh yeah, totally. But I still got love for Mary Jay Bilge though.

>> I'm very psyched for the whole CES experience, the experience of all you guys. It's going to be a lot of fun.

>> Yeah.

>> I do have to say this is sort of our inaugural anniversary.

>> Right.

>> Sure.

>> Because before that we had done the 404, but nobody knew who it was. And I have to thank BA Well because we high jacked their feed.

>> Oh yeah.

>> And they got a ton of hate mail for it.

>> No antics this year.

>> No antics this year.

>> This is legit.

>> I'm pretty psyched that we don't have to piss anyone off this year. That's what I'm pretty psyched about.

>> Yeah we had zero listeners last year. This year we have 14.

>> Ariel.

>> And so.

>> I don't really even listen to the whole thing though. I just like listen to the first feed.

>> Yeah.

>> No, but we're going to be doing a show every day at CES.

>> Right.

>> Live from the stage. CES hasn't started yet, but tomorrow is the first day. So we're going to be doing them every day about 5 o'clock, 515.

>> Yeah.

>> Feel free to come by if you're in Vegas, stop by. You can listen to us. You can hear us streamed live at CNETTV.com. There's a little button on the left side that says Live From the Stage Floor. So you just click that.

>> Yeah.

>> Hear all our antics. We made it big time.

>> I got to admit, I'm getting a little bit nervous thinking about it.

>> Oh relax, you'll be fine.

>> Just wear that hat, you'll be fine.

>> So we're going to have maybe some give aways.

>> We're going to have some give aways.

>> Some give aways, so definitely come check us out at CNET stage.

>> Going to have some guests.

>> Oh my god.

>> We've got Mister Brian Tong coming in.

>> Brian Tong.

>> On Saturday.

>> Brian Tong, the face of CNET TV.

>> Got, we got the baunch coming in at some point.

>> The baunch, Bonnie Chau.

>> The editor for cell phones and smart phones.

>> Going to try and arrange maybe a Clayton Moore sort of.

>> Clayton Moore is from Fox and Friends. Eric Augh, Maggie Reardon.

>> Man.

>> It's going to be a great, great series of madness.

>> Yeah.

>> Great start to a new year. I think that's going to do it for us today.

>> That is going to do it. And maybe if we're lucky Jason How can like come back and forth while he, during the show and we'll be able to hang out.

>> He's our mixer extraordinaire.

>> He's the man, we love him. Alright, so that's going to do it right now I think. We'll be back tomorrow, hopefully around the same time.

>> Time frame, around 5 o'clock, 515 I'm thinking.

>> Yeah.

>> Ariel thank you so much for coming on the show.

>> Yeah, thank you for having me.

>> Yeah, we'll see you back at the hotel room tonight.

>> Ok.

>> Oh yeah.

>> Leave Brian at home.

>> He stays.

>> We're going to text you my room number, it'll be fine.

>> Ok.
