@Kevin, I was at Fenway Park almost exactly a week ago. Sox weren't playing :(

DC is NOT New England...
- J.C. Bouvier

- Kevin Marks
The Toronto to Boston drive wasn't too bad at all. Went south from Kingston. Great city. I want to go back and spend more time.
- Kevin Costain
Is NYC New England?
- Kevin Marks
no
- Ankush Narula
hm
- Kevin Marks
Maryland was an English colony before they chopped a bit out to be DC
- Kevin Marks
can you hear Steve now?
- Tina Chase Gillmor
New England = Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island
- Ankush Narula
I'm hearing everyone right now. Sounds good. No tweety birds from @Kevin.
- Kevin Costain
Not Philadelphia either then? OK, so I should just say east coast. The birds aren't up yet.
- Kevin Marks
hmmm, no NYC is not New England
- Tina Chase Gillmor
Northeast works also
- Ankush Narula

- Charlie Isaacs
Hi Charlie
- Ankush Narula

- Charlie Isaacs
Anyone seen Dvorak's latest? http://www.pcmag.com/article... - is he saying what everyone is thinking?
- Kevin Costain
Charlie!
- Tina Chase Gillmor
if the web is dead and the mobile is dead, and there's no search then I guess we can all go home Keith, what's left? :)
- Charlie Isaacs

- Tina Chase Gillmor
Keith, can you share the link you just referred to pls?
- J.C. Bouvier

@Kevin - that was a great read.Very interesting.
- Kevin Costain

- J.C. Bouvier
but concurrently discussing a native TWC app on AppleTV?
- Ankush Narula
Simulcasted on Techcrunch :)
- Kevin Costain
almost done with my first coffee. If I finish the second before the end of the show we have a problem
- Tina Chase Gillmor
hello folks thanks for joining us
- Tina Chase Gillmor
I haven't had coffee since DC. I do have tea though.
- Kevin Marks
thanks for the article Kevin
- Charlie Isaacs
Kinda looks like Borthwick is whispering in Keith's ear
- Tina Chase Gillmor
he, he
- Tina Chase Gillmor
What about improvements in streaming bandwidth reductions? More efficient streaming Wasn't that a thing?
- Kevin Costain
it looks like Kevin is wearing an umbrella hat
- Charlie Isaacs
ha
- Ankush Narula
it does a bit, Charlie
- Kevin Marks
And a very pretty pink one at that
- Keith Teare
indeed Charlie. So cute ;-)
- Tina Chase Gillmor
As long as the hat isn't tinfoil :)
- Kevin Costain
i have a hat like that, it has a tube attached to two beer cans, one on each side
- Charlie Isaacs
now I'm back in a climate which isn't super-saturated with humidity, I don't need a hat like that.
- Kevin Marks
I've spent the last week in DC, Philly, Boston sweating like mad
- Kevin Marks
Don't know if you guys saw this post from last night: http://www.nytimes.com/2013...
- J.C. Bouvier
Apple TV comment from Brian Stelter...making the point that Apple has wise'd up and is taking the friend vs. foe approach...
- J.C. Bouvier
JC I think Steve caught that one
- Tina Chase Gillmor
nice
- J.C. Bouvier
Apple gets "A La Carte" in concept, and is chiseling away...where the FCC is too bound up by lobby...
- J.C. Bouvier
Keith - but we have to wonder what the UI will look like if all TWC channels will be available
- Ankush Narula
The iOS remote app is by far the best way to go...you get a keyboard, but yah, that's a PITA...
- J.C. Bouvier
It's not the 10 HBO live channels - it's library content plus on demand
- Ankush Narula
I NEED a new office chair!
- Tina Chase Gillmor
mine keeps sinking
- Tina Chase Gillmor
I need a standing desk
- Kevin Marks
though as my desk is under a bed now, that would be a hunching desk
- Kevin Marks
"Scoble likes it freaky." (TM)
- Ankush Narula
"we're very sick people" (TM)
- Charlie Isaacs
+1
- Ankush Narula
But, Robert - where will all that underlying context data come from? Who is going to build these vast databases of contextual information? Can geral app coders be expected to build this?
- Kevin Costain
I watched half the 1st season of Newsroom, then didn't pick it up again
- Kevin Marks
Yes, TV choices are not easy. how to get there/ where. when
- Tina Chase Gillmor
oooh, Scoble has eggs!
- Tina Chase Gillmor
Aereo antenna(s): http://extras.mnginteractive.com/live...
- Ankush Narula
Who actually watches local channels anymore? MAYBE - for live sports?
- Ankush Narula
Aren't they just trying to connect the libraries into a voice activated (Siri)?
- Arnie Klaus
dont want to jinx it but stream has been rock steady today
- Tina Chase Gillmor
Rumor that Apple is allegedly looking at acquiring Primesense (provider of Kinect technology)
- Ankush Narula
My bet is apple has been trying to converge these deals with a breakthrough large glass technology.
- Arnie Klaus
Annnd my laptop's battery I about to die. Boom. Haha.
- Kevin Costain
success doesn't necessarily mean proliferation - Apple TV is beyond successful compared to the competition
- Ankush Narula
Ankush - agree
- Keith Teare
AND it's propping up their higher margin businesses (iOS devices and MacBooks)
- Ankush Narula
live sports isn't even local channels here
- Kevin Marks
I can't switch to Android because of AirPlay
- Ankush Narula
Bluetooth speakers wins for audio, video needs work, yes. They broke my Nexus Q recently :(
- Kevin Marks
Ankush: it's a great lock in to Apple's ecosystem, yes.
- Robert Scoble
iBeacon will be awesome
- Charlie Isaacs
I like this morning show! Its my preferred viewing. Forget the drama queens. Creative conversation as content.
- Arnie Klaus
AirDrop was leveraging WiFi Direct on Macs
- Ankush Narula
iBeacon is the low energy bluetooth he meant
- Charlie Isaacs
yes Bluetooth Smart (Bluetooth Low Energy BLE)
- Ankush Narula
micro location based services, connected objects, etc will be achievable with iBeacon
- Charlie Isaacs
Amie - thx... I love these guys too. they always surprise me
- Tina Chase Gillmor
Kevin - its like google maps intuits what photos you may like based on location. As I move through my life the tools can push suggestions based on my activities. I'm cooking salmon, there is a salmon cooking video selection waiting for me to activate.
- Arnie Klaus
eventually IMO iBeacon should have different levels of intelligent -- register your iBeacon device in the cloud, register them to a menu that interact with an app or a menu in the cloud, etc.
- Charlie Isaacs
iBeacons like indoor GPS - they used the term "micro-locations" at WWDC
- Ankush Narula
iBeacon devices will be on any object, low cost, low energy devices
- Charlie Isaacs
Google Voice Search - Show me a video on building a chicken coop
- Arnie Klaus
your smartphone device will be the "second screen" manager for the dumber iBeacon device
- Charlie Isaacs
ya - what ever happened to RFID and NFC?
- Ankush Narula
venture a name for the show?
- Tina Chase Gillmor
NFC is still going strong in HW apps - payment, subway systems etc. Difference between explicit physical contact and finding things nearby
- Kevin Marks
I hope it's not ten years until my screens talk to me when I walk by
- Tina Chase Gillmor
showname: I said iBeacon, not iBacon
- Charlie Isaacs
Highlight has always intrigued me but I just never get anything out of it
- Tina Chase Gillmor
Beacon and Eggs
- Keith Teare
oooh, good one Keith
- Tina Chase Gillmor
i like keith's better :)
- Charlie Isaacs
;-)
- Keith Teare
I was just going to say - no, two years
- Tina Chase Gillmor
yeah, I don't want to be "rated". yuck
- Tina Chase Gillmor
my wife has me on a leash -- she makes me use the Find Friends app :)
- Charlie Isaacs
Charlie ;-)
- Tina Chase Gillmor
:-) FInd My Friends, Stalk My Spouse, whatevs
- Ankush Narula
Google is shutting down Latitude :(
- Kevin Marks
Kevin: True - but most people I know turned off the background location updating in Latitude - creepy factor too high
- Ankush Narula
This revolution will be televised
- Arnie Klaus
haha Ankush
- Charlie Isaacs
it turned itself off unless you keep turning it back on, Ankush, yes. I find it handy for the family to know where each of us are.
- Kevin Marks
btw my new gmail inbox just turned on today
- Tina Chase Gillmor
Yes - I use Find My Friends with my mother - gives her peace of mind as I live on my own
- Ankush Narula
does help
- Tina Chase Gillmor
The strategy has been in place since Steve Jobs suggested they have figured TV out. Cutting the deals has kept the innovation in the backroom (evolving).
- Arnie Klaus
Interesting article about unbundling sports from cable packages: http://www.theatlantic.com/busines...
- Ankush Narula
