" You know what the easiest thing that's the craziest thing is the but a what I thought was and is always gives you everything you learn. The thing that I thought was going to be the hardest. Is the grading files is -- the plane. It's actually the easiest thing."

And so as your client if you start to go to let collide this way. You you have to it. Point point and you have to keep winning in the direction you're going and next thing you know. Usually sliding inside and it's not like you have to actively choose to craft the plane you just go wow I'm really flood sideways in order to keep applying straight in and I mean."

" It's really fun. Good to you you see those big gas. Gaming videos of the Boston Brodeur and we landed in Santa Paula we flew over they were just had these fires."

" And we're flying from Van -- to -- more to go to Santa Paula. And what does fire had just started at 1030 -- it the hills Fillmore. And we started flying at like twelve so nobody was even saying anything we're just flying from then i.s and looking at this giant plume of smoke we have flying right over it. -- is like helicopter and like avoiding these helicopters and we're looking down and this whole hillsides on fire was amazing. And then the wind shear was ridiculous when you when we -- landing in Santa Paula -- like."

" Yeah yeah cool."

" They hate you and that the whole idea he is when I left the grabbed the first time. I flip the whole thing -- on the planes it -- crazy stuff and I landed -- You don't have you don't even think about. Any of the danger. Because you're constantly thinking up. Okay how to keep it in a straight line okay so this is what did you do a straight line okay well how well I'll losing out to you can't edit -- up a little bit and -- think you're so focused on. Learn how to flood of planning you don't even think about like it's like when you're sitting in an airline. You know you know control you're not doing anything in mind this is kind of wondering."

" It certainly is well here's an easier."

" But if you didn't exactly with the genomics and half wake up I was about planet on the reply."

" reminded me you read well what if your mind was preoccupied by actually doing the act of flying the plane. What's next ten and that's what happens I love. That's our best serve as I tell you it was really going to fly."

" Dude I'll take you right now particularly on Google will supply."

" Seriously advising them like I'll be in this type those things the way. And you let I'm not as I'm not worry we're normal."

" Why is Cindy -- Don't go go hey I'm gonna open. If you're -- It depends and telling you masculine thing."

" It's either you or -- or a long flight with a couple maps."

" I love it -- and -- and I've only -- blue did. Let's if she's really hot doesn't want to use Phoenix. It's not got you -- the auditing and jetBlue yeah. They get myself but."

" So we've got -- jetBlue not to realize that virgin America is gonna be better."

" I had not yet these -- that book. JetBlue domain names and then they are and let's get energetic -- First story courier first details in Microsoft's secret tablet. Cool 900 format people dinosaurs -- about Mikey -- hike. It feels like the whole world is holding its -- for the Apple tablet. I would agree with that but maybe we've all been dreaming about the wrong device this is occurring here makers. Microsoft's astonishing take on the tablet the UI is freaking -- Apple. Is it real or heads up -- attack."

Career had you heard of -- I saw the amazing 3-D rendering my great company that makes great 3-D rendering -- angry. It's amazing to me rendering you know I mean like show me this working."

" Oh I do all that but then again. Everybody's all hot and bothered about the the the Apple tablet whatever it is IZ 3-D rendering of the tablet and we have -- and an avatar."

" We have this them through even things that for a few weeks yet it was not from Apple us from -- policy this is actually this is -- obviously -- who have and so people yet gone missing here is a thing as is carrier."

" It was a good. --"

" I'm myself an image and research. I'm just starting job helping left on design new line different. Today's first meeting that opened up my just a conflict decline came over to the Mac is -- his office. 30 downtown Seattle okay. Now I'm gonna open up my journals. I don't start menu and for --"

" Nobody writes in marina that's when an agent."

" Yeah this is the words malicious bit."

" Okay c'mon people still write in world -- do write to really don't know how do you hear me out they do but they don't mind that this -- that. Well but here's the thing. I would rather than there are a lot people who take no I I never will take a laptop to a meeting."

" About two years rare breed. Ever went to -- possibilities."

" And -- maybe you web design companies that do that but in my. Basically my coffee shops. Now have meaning every every meaning it gets you people have pieces of paper to jot notes found absolutely yeah they won't not to bring -- a computer. So I think the whole point is. -- this is. This looks like a a folded --"

" Book written rank but not a laptop just no book need to open it up and just write notes like it's as if it's a piece of paper that lithium --"

" It must have left mamet and I thought the exact same thing passing is a cute and client and I realize you -- Well launching apps in my album like she had to do -- let at that point that it launched. So so I I do you agree that it I hope that sounds -- keyboard functionality and yes but he doesn't. And it doesn't need keyboard functional -- now. It's a little bit weird because it -- step of ice sometimes don't respond to people's emails on my iPhone. Because they don't have the dexterity to really get across what it is that wanna -- it was short and sweet and -- sort your -- sometimes it's it's a long and venomous. And then it's like okay you -- arms that's got hurt my -- his book so that might be a keyboard like a little touch screen keyboard and select pattern now but. I agree with you however I think what this is going for us."

" Lehman like the -- to hold the home button and now that it's my homepage. And school. When she goes intoxicated. I have -- take some photos of -- samples. Removed torn his -- me are seen and don't -- will probably math and express spam protection where this thing drag it into -- is this cute. -- So we're Palestinians. Now into the online seizing computers guessed it."

" So the question is is is three G. Well I mean uses you know wireless on lane adding it's got it's really good. This is like here's elevator here's the thing. Apple. Didn't -- Is a great community but yes it is great. Com. -- Microsoft. So here's the thing I think 5% this thing said apps right. I think that really crazy thing is that the app store has blown up so much for iphones hmm. That. When the tablet comes out the assumption is that nine -- The assumption is that the tablet will run in the same maps and the iPhone runs. -- right. So now you're instantly getting device that has access to -- hundreds of thousands of apps at this point. Whereas Microsoft now has to. Ramp all of that up. Yeah I mean it's almost like what Apple was able to do with the purchasing music your right to where people like well I like the Zune. But I -- all the stuff that I bought an iTunes. I'll and that's great music. I can't you know yeah ads -- the same thing with this kind of divisive Apple comes out of the tablet that runs apps. And there's a store that's not about maps and you glory bottom line and you look at him he's done what."

" Apps would you use it in my -- AM it's not as big in my pulling up to a speaker like Kidman plays music."

" Well but this lightning right now all the apps are made for that license is small writes is there to create new house won't know they'll create apps that make more sense for a bigger screen. Or bigger device possibly not -- the device is the device could just be instead of the iPhone which is like this it's double the size almost like the size of Kindle what's not. The size of a giant that something is big brick -- is slick little thing that you have a new purse. That we now that I need a and that's what Apple's gonna bring out the man Paris."

" And they're gonna take lightly or gladly buy cars. Up with so so."

" Nobody let me think about it all your site shooter dams. You know I mean I really tower defense games on or -- it's like this -- now -- and artisans and in and in the end it -- inch. In an annoyance though anyway so there's an uphill battle for this in mind and."

" In the middle ever be uphill battle for this is the fact it's not even real. Well I mean he is now or rural and then not again its -- that does that in me that tablet in night shipping it didn't mean years you know four years out. I'm about four years three beasts are about three years yeah officer may be too and that's where years that size period. Next -- the day throughout Turkey terrorized his New Jersey neighborhood and I sends here this forward thinking people that is tourism and by lieutenant Jim panda. Apparently. This does is it presents a problem anyway. Okay."

" Yeah. -- a pop pop pop pop up. Literally love the -- to be doing. Yeah hello. -- god. -- yeah."

" Who leash here."

" Okay so this is you that's more than just look comedy and friend that was really fun and it turns or flag I'm serious statement."

Darkness was pretty nice. For some reason I forgot everything ran on battery power (minus the internet).. it was kind of unexpected

I've been using bing for a month, as well. The only thing I miss is google maps. Bing's maps look better, and seem to be easier to read, but google seems to give better directions. Also, searching for my address or anything simple like pizza and my zipcode, google brings up results. Bing doesn't usually bring it up unless i'm more specific.

Bing's basic search isn't quite as good as google's. Everything isn't as up to date and crawled as often. But for the most part, it's good enough

I do fear for google, though. Google's search is minimalistic and loads fast, but bing is embracing technology. Google search isn't. The image scrolling in bing is just fantastic. Video previews is fantastic. It loads just as fast and doesn't clutter anything. Google needs to embrace technology for their search page or they will perish.

About internet during power outage, this is where a good UPS comes in VERY handy. Just plug in your cable modem and wireless router into the UPS (and nothing else) and now you've got battery-powered internet for a few hours! Just open up your laptop and browse away while the power company fixes your line and also making your neighbors jealous seeing your lone SSID up and running :D

Greatest $170 I ever spent.

I get kind of annoyed at Kevin's reaction to basically everything Microsoft. Im surprised he was finally willing to give bing a try.

It's just that any time a Microsoft product is mentioned, Kevin has this look of disappointment or annoyance on his face. But if it were an Apple product, he'd be drooling all over it. He's incredibly biased...

Alex on the other hand allways seems to be really open minded to any product, regardless of the company.

In my opinion, people shouldn't really worry about who made the product, but instead, the features and quality of the product.

He's Kevin f*ckin Rose man.. he can do whatever he wants. Microsoft has done nothing but disappoint everyone for the past 9 years so that look of disgust is actually justified dude.

Kevin and Alex.. you both rule. Keep up the bad @$$ness that is DiggNation.

speak for yourself.

I guess the XBoxes (both of them) are a complete disappointment from Microsoft? Windows 7 is amazing, let's not forget XP, which people are fighting tooth and nail not to give up. I'd agree that specific products and specific events at a very HUGE company have given it some bad press, but it hardly represents the whole of Microsoft.

I'd say the complaint is more that any time a Microsoft product is mentioned, Kevin gets a disappointment/annoyed look on his face, rather than wanting to know more information. Basically, he's already written off the product simply by the company name. It'd be like if a laptop/netbook only company announced that they are making a phone, and you don't bother reading anything about it because you don't like netbooks/laptops.

exactly what I was saying.


And just because he's Kevin Rose does not mean a damn thing. I respect him completely for everything he's done. I've been a huge fan of his since the days of Tech TV, back when he wasn't brainwashed by Apple.

He's a great guy, but because of his close connections to Apple, it seems like he is becoming more and more biased toward them.

I just can't take any of his opinions on Microsoft products seriously anymore.

Great ep but

Great episode but i would like to see more up to date stories. This episode was shot back to back with the last one. I wish they would take just a little bit more time for some prep. Otherwise i liked it very much.

Alex - Who are you kidding?
I just decided to give bing a week trial as Alex did and now Kevin is doing.

I changed my onetouch search, my home page and my search engine plugin, all ready for the week long trial.

That was 3 hours ago, everything is back to Google now, that was horrible, the shopping search was unusable, the maps were small and page was covered with bumph. the image search didn't work with my cool-iris FF plugin and while interesting was not really any better.

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad it works for you, but it's terrible in my humble opinion.

Great Show as always.
Thanks
