Hey Robert, what do you think about the new HTC devices, and the new Nexus 6? - Chris Hale

Lots happening in android land - Chris Hale

The Nexus 6 and Note 4 look awesome. - Robert Scoble

here's my post on twitter http://www.kevinmarks.com/twitter... - Kevin Marks

JC Steve "gave" me his iPad Mini a while ago. He's using the new phone A LOT - Tina Chase Gillmor

what kinda shocked me is that the nexus 6 is a motorola phone. The reason it shocked me is that one would have guessed that after google bought motorola it would have awarded a contract for nexus phones to motorola sooner. I just find it funny that motorola has built a nexus phone after they got sold to Lennovo - Chris Hale

TX @Tina. - J.C. Bouvier

oh, apologies in advance if I ramble today, I am working off of only 45 minutes of sleep over the last day - Chris Hale

Chris Hale - get some rest, Guy! - Tina Chase Gillmor

Thanks @Tina but like the song says, "Aint no rest for the wicked" - Chris Hale

really wishing i could clone myself - Chris Hale

Robert or anyone from the GG , anybody have thoughts about that new HTC action camera? Anyone seen one? - Chris Hale

I haven't. - Robert Scoble

craptic - Chris Hale

I did NOT see them in 1965 ;-) - Tina Chase Gillmor

Brian Wilson did come out for the BBC though: https://www.youtube.com/watch... - Kevin Marks

wow, 1965 that is -15 years before my Born on date - Chris Hale

well you're a puppy Chris H. ! Lucky you - Tina Chase Gillmor

So I just bought a fitbit this week. Figures the week i decided to buy one is the week that apple is booting the devices from retail stores - Chris Hale

Tina I am frozen - Keith Teare

Robert spies on people's computer screen... research, you know - Tina Chase Gillmor

If I close and reload Skype will you call me back - Keith Teare

too early for subtleties , Steve - Tina Chase Gillmor

agree with where Steve is going with his comment - Chris Hale

Makes it sounds like you almost need an ability to do detailed searchs on your notifications - Chris Hale

I wholeheartedly endorse IFTTT as a service - Chris Hale

I like FB Messenger - Tina Chase Gillmor

NO to YO: https://twitter.com/kevinma... - Kevin Marks

+1 G3 - christina sponselli

thx Christina - Tina Chase Gillmor

we're recording today btw at 2pm-ish PT - Tina Chase Gillmor

Good quality recording today - Moe Glitz

I dropped my landline number because it was only spam - Kevin Marks

Same here Kevin. Non stop PPI spam - Moe Glitz

Isn't @mentions the same as Notifications - Moe Glitz

Go Giants! - christina sponselli

there was something i saw in the news feeds about the new ipads that I think got downplayed . Apparently they are creating a new "Apple SIM" card i believe for the new ipads that allows you to jump on and off any cellular data provider you want to. Am i the only one who thinks this is huge news? A use case they describe is paying for a prepaid data plan in a foreign country. - Chris Hale

Oh no track - Moe Glitz

Apple new services are much more groundbreaking than their new Products - Moe Glitz

FB added emergency contact messaging. It will be interesting to see it used in a real emergency. - christina sponselli

Most people I know only use Facebook to goof around with family and friends. No one uses it for Social Media - Moe Glitz

nobody has 5,000 friends :) - David Malone

I was totally shocked they didnt put NFC into the new ipads. - Chris Hale

So 4K is dead already - Moe Glitz

Oh, here is another important newsworthy announcement. HBO announced they will be launching a plan next year that allows for subsciptions without having to have cable anymore - Chris Hale

and CBS is doing a steaming service - Tina Chase Gillmor

streaming - Tina Chase Gillmor

Just make all TV & Mobile Services as Apps - Moe Glitz

I love that the new screen is so big no apple device has a camera with enough pixels to fill it - Kevin Marks

picking up the Note 4 on ATT from Best Buy today - Da

its already starting to go that way - Chris Hale

This time of day is much better for us based in Dublin ... - David Malone

my iphone6 plus should be arriving hopefully today or monday - Chris Hale

I am wondering whether i will use it or my sony xperia z ultra more while i am on vacation in a week. - Chris Hale

I think the OnePlusOne looks good, much cheaper than the nexus 6 - Kevin Marks

David... yeah we like the early morning time here too but the energy of the Gang is a little lower due to not enough time to ingest enough coffee ;-) - Tina Chase Gillmor

apple has fixed the problem I complained about last year, but design thinking needs to catch up http://epeus.blogspot.com/2013... - Kevin Marks

I almost threw my iphone5s at the wall this week. Apple has some really crappy processes for developers. - Chris Hale

Steve, how is the battery life? - christina sponselli

OnePlusOne is just the beginning of Chinese phone push in US. - Da

Huwei also makes a decent looking phone. Shocking that they are able to make phones as inexpensively as they have been - Chris Hale

good for getting more phones in the hands of more people - Da

i bet you anything you will start to see cell phone companies start to allow preferential treatment for data by service. Tmobile has started this recently since they allow all music apps to not count against your data plans. I bet you att or verizon will try and say , you can watch hbo without affecting your data cap. What do you think Robert? - Chris Hale

yeah, how do I use this? ;-) - Tina Chase Gillmor

I use html - Kevin Marks

thats what I've been saying about iPhone size for a couple of years - Kevin Marks

there's a market to map beacons ... - David Malone

That is really cool Keith T! Is this some sort of open source initative? - Chris Hale

some of my slides: http://slides.kevinmarks.com/ - Kevin Marks

Keith... center yourself - Tina Chase Gillmor

Is he too much on the Android side Tina - Moe Glitz

I think Apple finally shipped my 2009 device wishlist http://epeus.blogspot.com/2009... - Kevin Marks

Beacons are super cool. I have an estimote kit. - Chris Hale

Love @scobelizer's 'how many of you have an iPhone' followed by 'how many of you have a beacon' at tech events. - Josh Bradshaw

Low energy bluetooth - David Malone

Apple still not pushing iBeacons at their Keynotes - Moe Glitz

I think beacons will revolutionize indoor location mapping - Chris Hale

amongst other things - Chris Hale

Lots of possibilities for home automation type things - Chris Hale

i might be behind a couple shows... but does the stream look amazing or is it just me? - Matthew Voshell

Beacons are revolutionizing the purchasing experience in Cafes in Downtown PA; the Downtown app puts this tech to work. http://worktechwork.wordpress.com/2014... - Josh Bradshaw

augmented reality plus beacons= awesomeness - Chris Hale

I believe most beacon apps are built to spam ... best to allow consumer to pull experiences ... - David Malone

Agreed Chris. - Josh Bradshaw

Beacon apps cannot be about spam. It gets too obtrusive. My phone's home screen is my personal property. More personal than junk mail in my mailbox, more personal than spam in my email. - Josh Bradshaw

The Internet of things - Moe Glitz

Robert is right. I talked about this a few shows ago, I dont think education and socializing beacons value proposition has been done very well. I think it is still in a fragile enough state, someone could do something dumb and really turn people off to this wonderful technology. - Chris Hale

mastercard i saw is realeasing a fingerprint card but i doubt it being ubiquitous - Matthew Voshell

http://www.theverge.com/tech... - Matthew Voshell

Like his songs - Moe Glitz

If beacons=spam they will fail - Keith Teare

Will.i.am is a poser... and sold out to popular music.. they are jsut god awful live - Matthew Voshell

beacons will be a simple waypoint with data that can be pulled - not pushed - Keith Teare

yes Keith. They have to be about enriching the experience. - Josh Bradshaw

i agree keith. I think the problem will be how to broker notifications and keep them from overwhelming someone. - Chris Hale

iPad Mini and iPod Touch are dying products - Moe Glitz

@Tina... what are the books in front of steve? - Matthew Voshell

Robert is right. Some people still want small phones because they are unwilling to give up their skinny jeans. - Chris Hale

Keith , agreed, we're developing a 'pull' mechanism by altering the power amplification in conjunction with the gyro sense in the device - David Malone

yea apple has TOO many products... ala gil times... they need to focus a tad more... like eating software bugs.. are they stretching thin? - Matthew Voshell

off topic... but i saw a very healthy looking coyote outside this morning - Tina Chase Gillmor

Software can save the planet - Moe Glitz

The pencil is a history. - Nir Ben Yona

Apples QA processes lately are shockingly bad. I really wonder how they are letting things slip in the way they have - Chris Hale

Tina, shoutout to Ptown - christina sponselli

apple still boasts its environmental checklist... kinda glossed over it.. but they still mention it - Matthew Voshell

if any company has the money to rectify that situation, apple does. - Chris Hale

Chris, I agree iOS 8 drops keyboards for inputs across messaging, etc - David Malone

@Chris... seriously.. what's with the skinny jeans.. you dont need to see the outline of my junk haha - Matthew Voshell

Apple is turning into a regular company with committees and politics. When teams can't work together effectively bugs creep in. - Robert Scoble

i absolutely hate skinny jeans and i live in austin where I make fun of all the hipsters that wear them - Chris Hale

ROI of 6 months.. thats what Corps want... - Matthew Voshell

NYC mayor decided to remove beacons from 500 payphones because of privacy; this is a beacon fail http://www.crainsnewyork.com/article... - Josh Bradshaw

Tesla are talking about wind powered charging stations - David Malone

their existing ones are solar powered - Kevin Marks

the only positive thing about skinny jeans is they squeeze everything tight enough to help prevent the wearer from being able to reproduce. No need to reproduce and fill the world with more hipsters - Chris Hale

Germany is doing a ton with wind power - Matthew Voshell

No mention of Google's latest earnings - Moe Glitz

End of rant - Chris Hale

need more nuclear too - Kevin Marks

or Netflix missing earnings? they are really going after HBO now with orig programming AND stand up specials... remember the HBO special? netflix going right after it - Matthew Voshell

anybody hear that rebox/verizons streaming movie effort is going to go dark - Chris Hale

@Chris.. yea.. too saturated... that said i always see people at the boxes at my market.. they love the vending machine type - Matthew Voshell

Redbox got netflixed - Da

Well I think the redbox stations will continue to be successful. - Chris Hale

I personally dont invest in apple or amazon or googles ecosystem for movies. I patronize Vudu. Really love vudu - Chris Hale

nuclear powered subs like in escape from LA? haha - Matthew Voshell

Solar would not work in Ireland, we need rain power ... - David Malone

As long as it's not iPhone batteries - Moe Glitz

we always have some wind - Tina Chase Gillmor

David: hah, I'll be in Ireland in a few weeks. It sure is green there! Maybe we will need to buy water from you. We need water in California. - Robert Scoble

What about the server farms of top Fortune 500 companies? Need a solution as well. - Nir Ben Yona

Nir: Atom chips. :-) - Robert Scoble

LED lights are awesome. My whole apartment has LED lights. - Chris Hale

@Robert the Webb Summit, saw you in a bar last year .. will meet you for a Guinness - David Malone

Robert: Ha! As of Haswell :) - Nir Ben Yona

The ones where they convert energy from ocean waves is pretty amazing and that goes 24/7 :) - Matthew Voshell

i read something about mini nuclear reactors that can power a neighborhood and they get buried somewhere in the neighborhood. - Chris Hale

well, it has a cyclic factor too based on tides, which precesses daily - Kevin Marks

localized power generation based on local resources - Da

I heard they were close to getting them legally able to be sold. It sounded pretty cool because the neighborhood gets together to purchase one and then all neighbors split the cost of it. - Chris Hale

And Arms Companies that feed off the political disruption in the Middle East - Moe Glitz

@Tina, this week Ustream is working a dream ... - David Malone

Steve, the whole viral icebucket challenge shows another successful crowd initiative - Chris Hale

crowd source democracy through affordable mobile devices - Da

Eurppe is more - Kevin Marks

i know power companies will pay you if you put solar panels on your house... they could easily crowd source energy from thier subscrubers - Matthew Voshell

@Kevin... yea germany is way ahead they are doing really amazing things.. a country the builds things still - Matthew Voshell
