00:00:02,100 --> 00:00:03,480
Computer running slow?
2
00:00:04,100 --> 00:00:07,080
Has your machine somehow acquired a life of its own?
3
00:00:07,380 --> 00:00:11,400
Or do you simply desire a deeper and more meaningful connection?
4
00:00:11,940 --> 00:00:13,720
Be one with your operating system.
5
00:00:14,100 --> 00:00:18,460
It's Arizona's computer guru, Mike Swanson, and his show starts now.
6
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:23,520
Listen in, chat in, and watch live streaming at gurushow.com.
7
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:25,340
Want your voice to be heard instead?
8
00:00:25,340 --> 00:00:27,580
Instead, call in with your questions and riddles.
9
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:31,000
The number is 520-790-2040.
10
00:00:31,460 --> 00:00:36,240
This is the Computer Guru Show on AM 1030, KVOY, The Voice.
11
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:40,540
Hello and welcome to the Computer Guru Show.
12
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:44,240
My name is Mike, here to deal with your technology needs and treat you like a person in the process,
13
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:45,080
because that's what we do.
14
00:00:45,860 --> 00:00:49,240
Give us a call down here at 790-2040.
15
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:51,800
That's 520-790-2040.
16
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:55,260
We'll be happy to take any of your calls and deal with them.
17
00:00:55,340 --> 00:00:57,760
Whenever technology issues happen to be ailing you today.
18
00:00:58,780 --> 00:01:01,060
As usual, we've got people over there.
19
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:02,300
Hey, Harry, how are you doing?
20
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:03,720
I am well. How about yourself?
21
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:04,420
I like the hat, man.
22
00:01:04,540 --> 00:01:05,840
Thank you. It's flight cap day.
23
00:01:05,960 --> 00:01:06,560
I can dig it.
24
00:01:07,140 --> 00:01:09,460
All right. And, of course, Tara's in here.
25
00:01:09,660 --> 00:01:10,240
Hello, hello.
26
00:01:10,260 --> 00:01:11,360
She's backing things up.
27
00:01:11,500 --> 00:01:17,240
And not so much in the gaming news today, but mainly she's just going to listen to me complain.
28
00:01:18,020 --> 00:01:19,740
I'm stuck on Angry Birds.
29
00:01:20,300 --> 00:01:20,980
Oh, yeah.
30
00:01:22,460 --> 00:01:23,880
We're not talking about Angry Birds.
31
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:24,500
I know, I know.
32
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:25,240
Or Flappy Bird.
33
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:25,540
Flappy Birds.
34
00:01:25,540 --> 00:01:25,920
Yeah, right.
35
00:01:25,980 --> 00:01:26,500
Or Floppy Bird.
36
00:01:26,780 --> 00:01:27,640
Or Floppy Bird.
37
00:01:27,740 --> 00:01:28,820
No type of birds today.
38
00:01:28,820 --> 00:01:29,600
No birds. No birds.
39
00:01:29,900 --> 00:01:32,800
That is a foul subject, and we're not going to do it.
40
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:33,100
Thank you.
41
00:01:33,220 --> 00:01:33,720
All right.
42
00:01:34,140 --> 00:01:36,520
So if you'd like to be part of the show, we'd love to hear from you.
43
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:37,580
790-2040.
44
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:39,940
In the meantime, we're going to talk about stupidity.
45
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,280
And that's really the focus of the rant today.
46
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,840
Now, we've actually touched on this for three weeks in a row now,
47
00:01:47,940 --> 00:01:52,120
which is there are stupid people making laws when it comes to the Internet.
48
00:01:52,740 --> 00:01:54,060
And, you know, it's...
49
00:01:54,860 --> 00:01:56,840
You know, next year I need to go to South by Southwest.
50
00:01:57,140 --> 00:01:57,880
I really need to go.
51
00:01:58,060 --> 00:01:59,020
I want to go, too.
52
00:01:59,260 --> 00:02:00,000
Really badly.
53
00:02:00,140 --> 00:02:01,600
Oh, man, I've got to go to South by Southwest.
54
00:02:02,860 --> 00:02:07,060
There is a cybersecurity expert down at South by Southwest.
55
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:13,720
He was talking with a person who is basically going and negotiating cybersecurity with China.
56
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:20,100
Now, as a person who gets e-mails about every 20 minutes or so saying,
57
00:02:20,300 --> 00:02:21,100
hey, guess what?
58
00:02:21,140 --> 00:02:23,840
There's an intrusion attempt on your network from China.
59
00:02:24,060 --> 00:02:25,600
Or Russia or wherever.
60
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:26,460
Mostly China.
61
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:29,060
You know, I kind of feel for...
62
00:02:29,060 --> 00:02:29,580
Yeah.
63
00:02:29,820 --> 00:02:32,920
I am invested in this particular topic.
64
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:33,420
Right.
65
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:39,480
And what happens here is that this guy, who happens to be a government official,
66
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,640
is asking the security advisor at South by Southwest,
67
00:02:44,060 --> 00:02:46,180
hey, you know what ISP means?
68
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:47,420
Oh.
69
00:02:47,820 --> 00:02:48,180
All right.
70
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:51,080
All right.
71
00:02:51,100 --> 00:02:53,460
So this guy is going to China.
72
00:02:54,060 --> 00:02:59,000
To negotiate over cybersecurity issues and has no idea what ISP means.
73
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:04,500
It's like going to Russia to negotiate with them and having no idea what ICBM means.
74
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:05,320
Or vodka.
75
00:03:05,740 --> 00:03:06,340
Right.
76
00:03:06,340 --> 00:03:09,480
It's just like, really, you're that dumb.
77
00:03:09,660 --> 00:03:17,240
And that has been my problem for the last several years as the CISPA thing comes out,
78
00:03:17,260 --> 00:03:22,580
all these new rules and laws and people trying to pass regulations on the Internet
79
00:03:22,580 --> 00:03:24,040
and not a single...
80
00:03:24,060 --> 00:03:24,120
Right.
81
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:25,800
Not a single one of them has a clue.
82
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,520
I mean, like, they just don't get it.
83
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:28,960
Right.
84
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:34,460
It would be me, right, a person who all I do is computers, right,
85
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:38,040
trying to tell somebody else how to build a car.
86
00:03:38,180 --> 00:03:38,580
Yeah.
87
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:38,740
Right.
88
00:03:38,780 --> 00:03:40,200
I'm not qualified.
89
00:03:40,580 --> 00:03:41,340
I am not...
90
00:03:41,340 --> 00:03:43,040
I'm absolutely not qualified to do that.
91
00:03:43,180 --> 00:03:45,620
But if you worked for the government, you could.
92
00:03:46,580 --> 00:03:48,740
Actually, they like those big words.
93
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:49,980
That's what it is.
94
00:03:50,500 --> 00:03:53,940
Well, you know, the thing is, is that I think...
95
00:03:54,060 --> 00:04:00,280
I think that you should not be able to have any control over Internet-related anything
96
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:01,820
if you don't use it.
97
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:02,360
Right.
98
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:06,340
As an example, Janet Napolitano, as we're all familiar with,
99
00:04:06,860 --> 00:04:10,520
she was the head of cybersecurity for the United States for a while.
100
00:04:10,660 --> 00:04:10,980
Yeah.
101
00:04:11,020 --> 00:04:11,340
Right?
102
00:04:11,420 --> 00:04:13,360
And she does not use email.
103
00:04:13,580 --> 00:04:13,900
No.
104
00:04:13,940 --> 00:04:19,200
And it's not because she's afraid there's no threat or anything like that.
105
00:04:19,260 --> 00:04:21,700
She just hasn't gotten around to it.
106
00:04:21,840 --> 00:04:22,440
Right.
107
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:23,920
Now, I don't think that...
108
00:04:24,060 --> 00:04:30,460
You should be passing laws that affect the entire planet unless you've gotten around
109
00:04:30,460 --> 00:04:32,840
to using email, maybe once or twice.
110
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:41,320
The thing is, is that if you are not about the technology, if you don't use it and see
111
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:46,420
how it can benefit the lives of yourself and everyone around you, if you don't see the
112
00:04:46,420 --> 00:04:53,500
benefit in it at all or have no personal investment, then you should not be involved in the way
113
00:04:53,500 --> 00:04:54,040
that it is.
114
00:04:54,060 --> 00:04:54,860
Right.
115
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:55,640
Right.
116
00:04:55,640 --> 00:05:00,140
Now, there is something to be said for being impartial.
117
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:00,800
Right?
118
00:05:00,900 --> 00:05:04,100
To be able to say, well, I can pass laws because I don't use it.
119
00:05:04,140 --> 00:05:04,440
Right?
120
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:04,720
Exactly.
121
00:05:04,740 --> 00:05:06,400
I'm not going to benefit myself.
122
00:05:06,620 --> 00:05:08,220
No, you're going to hurt the rest of the world.
123
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:08,920
Yeah.
124
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:13,960
And that's really the bigger problem here is that you don't know what you're saying.
125
00:05:14,220 --> 00:05:14,660
Right?
126
00:05:14,740 --> 00:05:21,400
And what happens is you end up being this mindless, this lemming, right, that is walking
127
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:24,040
around Congress, being lobbied by very large companies.
128
00:05:24,060 --> 00:05:26,500
Well, it's lots of money being able to say, you know what?
129
00:05:26,620 --> 00:05:27,660
You know what we're going to do?
130
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,820
We are going to make it really hard for everybody on the planet to do anything because we've
131
00:05:31,820 --> 00:05:32,460
got deep pockets.
132
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:33,140
Right.
133
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:41,160
They are going to convince a sheeple in Congress that they have no clue what they're doing.
134
00:05:42,060 --> 00:05:42,900
Yeah, exactly.
135
00:05:43,060 --> 00:05:43,280
Right.
136
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:52,500
So they're going to convince these people that have the power over us to change it to
137
00:05:52,500 --> 00:05:53,140
a certain extent.
138
00:05:53,420 --> 00:05:53,840
Right.
139
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:54,020
Right.
140
00:05:54,020 --> 00:05:54,040
Right.
141
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:54,040
142
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:54,040
143
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:54,040
144
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:54,040
145
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:54,040
146
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:54,040
147
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:54,040
148
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:54,040
149
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:54,040
150
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:54,040
151
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:54,040
152
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:54,040
153
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:54,040
154
00:05:54,060 --> 00:05:55,300
As it pertains to the internet.
155
00:05:55,540 --> 00:06:00,000
They're going to convince them that they have to make these changes that are just detrimental
156
00:06:00,700 --> 00:06:03,080
to the way that the internet works.
157
00:06:03,420 --> 00:06:05,380
They don't know what's in it until they pass it.
158
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:08,540
There's a certain part of that.
159
00:06:08,900 --> 00:06:10,720
They should know the technology.
160
00:06:11,180 --> 00:06:11,300
Yeah.
161
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,840
Well, with the internet stuff, they don't know what's in it after they pass it.
162
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:14,060
Right.
163
00:06:14,140 --> 00:06:17,440
They never know what's in it because they're just so dumb.
164
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,240
They've got to reach the end of the internet before they can figure it out.
165
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:20,680
Oh, God.
166
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:21,320
Don't go there.
167
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:22,060
All right.
168
00:06:22,060 --> 00:06:22,240
All right.
169
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:22,240
170
00:06:24,060 --> 00:06:32,680
It's just mind-boggling the amount of idiocy that is involved in the government when it
171
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:33,380
pertains to the internet.
172
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:41,240
And the reason I get upset about it is because it's one of the few places now, the last refuges
173
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,840
of free speech.
174
00:06:44,020 --> 00:06:44,320
Yeah.
175
00:06:44,580 --> 00:06:49,640
And you're turning this into China when it comes to the internet.
176
00:06:49,860 --> 00:06:50,300
Pretty much.
177
00:06:50,300 --> 00:06:50,360
All right.
178
00:06:50,660 --> 00:06:53,760
We want to be able to put our ideas.
179
00:06:54,060 --> 00:06:58,780
Our ideas out into the world and not have them stifled, not have them recorded and used
180
00:06:58,780 --> 00:06:59,400
against us.
181
00:06:59,520 --> 00:06:59,880
Right.
182
00:06:59,940 --> 00:07:03,560
We want to be able to have the internet the way it's been for the last 20 years.
183
00:07:03,860 --> 00:07:05,620
And there's no need to change it.
184
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:05,960
Right.
185
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:09,500
As far as the cybersecurity aspect of it, which is really what they're pushing.
186
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:13,820
They're saying, look, I got, here's what helped push it, by the way.
187
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:15,780
You know what phishing is, everybody.
188
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:16,100
Right.
189
00:07:16,220 --> 00:07:17,120
And that's where you get that email.
190
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:17,500
Yes.
191
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:17,760
Right.
192
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:19,340
Then you accidentally click on the link.
193
00:07:19,540 --> 00:07:20,100
Nigerian print.
194
00:07:20,340 --> 00:07:20,700
Right.
195
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:21,640
That type of stuff.
196
00:07:21,900 --> 00:07:22,260
Right.
197
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:22,680
Right.
198
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:22,700
Right.
199
00:07:22,700 --> 00:07:22,700
200
00:07:22,700 --> 00:07:22,700
201
00:07:22,700 --> 00:07:22,700
202
00:07:22,700 --> 00:07:22,700
203
00:07:22,700 --> 00:07:22,700
204
00:07:22,700 --> 00:07:22,700
205
00:07:22,700 --> 00:07:22,700
206
00:07:22,700 --> 00:07:22,700
207
00:07:22,700 --> 00:07:22,700
208
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:23,160
Right.
209
00:07:24,060 --> 00:07:30,760
Which is called spear phishing, which is, it's a very selected target group of people
210
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:35,300
that it's sent to using very specific content that's designed to make them click on it.
211
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:43,460
Somewhere around 80% of senators managed to pick up an infection very recently that basically
212
00:07:43,460 --> 00:07:45,860
said, hey, you want to see, you know, a French princess naked?
213
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:46,560
Oh.
214
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:47,200
Mm-hmm.
215
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:50,460
Well, they clicked on the link and got malware on their computers.
216
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:54,040
And it was, you know, specifically sent to Congress.
217
00:07:54,060 --> 00:07:56,000
Congress and senators, you know, congressmen and senators.
218
00:07:56,020 --> 00:07:58,640
And, you know, they clicked on it.
219
00:07:58,700 --> 00:07:58,940
Right.
220
00:07:59,020 --> 00:08:04,860
And so now, right, now that they're the people that have to get their machines clean, they're
221
00:08:04,860 --> 00:08:07,700
like, well, this, the cybersecurity stuff is out of control.
222
00:08:08,100 --> 00:08:08,500
Right.
223
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:09,800
Look at what the internet did.
224
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,220
It made me click on a link for naked pictures.
225
00:08:12,420 --> 00:08:13,940
No, you're stupid.
226
00:08:14,140 --> 00:08:15,020
That's what happened.
227
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:15,480
Yeah.
228
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:21,940
And, oh, man, it really drives me bonkers that these people have the ability to pass laws.
229
00:08:22,500 --> 00:08:23,640
And, you know, I don't know.
230
00:08:24,060 --> 00:08:24,620
I will go.
231
00:08:24,780 --> 00:08:26,620
I will just take it upon myself.
232
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:27,520
I will go to D.C.
233
00:08:27,580 --> 00:08:28,040
All right.
234
00:08:28,060 --> 00:08:28,580
And help them.
235
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:29,040
All right.
236
00:08:29,100 --> 00:08:29,740
And just say, you know what?
237
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:30,440
No.
238
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:31,660
No, don't do that.
239
00:08:31,740 --> 00:08:32,520
Because that's dumb.
240
00:08:33,020 --> 00:08:35,860
Really, there are other ways to deal with these problems.
241
00:08:36,220 --> 00:08:39,660
And it doesn't involve blacklisting everybody on the planet.
242
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:40,100
Right.
243
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:40,560
Right.
244
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:44,820
What it really involves is being just a little bit, just a little bit smarter about the way
245
00:08:44,820 --> 00:08:45,540
you use technology.
246
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:46,380
All right.
247
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:51,060
They should have some sort of class or something that they go to, especially if they're going
248
00:08:51,060 --> 00:08:53,960
to be in a position that they're passing.
249
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:55,280
They're passing laws with technology.
250
00:08:55,420 --> 00:08:55,560
Right.
251
00:08:55,560 --> 00:08:59,080
Just a basic class that they could take at Pima Community College.
252
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:00,180
They can come down to my office.
253
00:09:00,300 --> 00:09:00,620
Right.
254
00:09:00,660 --> 00:09:03,280
I teach classes on how to stay safe on the Internet.
255
00:09:03,460 --> 00:09:05,160
I do it almost every weekend.
256
00:09:05,620 --> 00:09:08,620
They can come down, and I will teach them how not to get infections.
257
00:09:08,940 --> 00:09:10,080
We should send them a letter.
258
00:09:10,340 --> 00:09:10,960
We should.
259
00:09:11,260 --> 00:09:12,440
That's what we should really do.
260
00:09:12,460 --> 00:09:13,040
Maybe a webinar.
261
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:14,080
Ooh.
262
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:15,960
I don't know if they get it over the webinar.
263
00:09:16,180 --> 00:09:16,520
Right.
264
00:09:16,560 --> 00:09:18,220
They don't use email.
265
00:09:18,260 --> 00:09:18,840
I need to get right.
266
00:09:18,860 --> 00:09:19,460
Well, yeah, they're...
267
00:09:19,460 --> 00:09:20,900
I got to get it right in front of them.
268
00:09:20,900 --> 00:09:21,340
Yeah, exactly.
269
00:09:21,500 --> 00:09:22,300
Right in their face.
270
00:09:22,340 --> 00:09:22,460
Right in their face.
271
00:09:22,460 --> 00:09:23,200
Because they are just...
272
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:27,620
They don't know how to do this, and that's the part that bothers me.
273
00:09:27,780 --> 00:09:28,600
You know what, Harry?
274
00:09:28,820 --> 00:09:29,600
You know what time it is?
275
00:09:29,700 --> 00:09:30,940
It must be time for some music.
276
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:31,460
It is.
277
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:31,800
Hey.
278
00:09:32,220 --> 00:09:32,820
Let's do it.
279
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:33,820
All right.
280
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:37,700
So when we get back, I will probably rant and complain a little bit more.
281
00:09:38,020 --> 00:09:40,080
Also, we're going to talk about the specials of the week down at the shop.
282
00:09:40,140 --> 00:09:42,580
We're going to save you a bunch of money if you're looking to get your network looked
283
00:09:42,580 --> 00:09:44,060
at or if you want to build a website.
284
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:44,580
Yeah.
285
00:09:44,620 --> 00:09:46,420
So stick around, and we'll be right back.
286
00:09:46,420 --> 00:09:47,420
We're down.
287
00:09:47,740 --> 00:09:48,660
All right.
288
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:54,280
Computer troubles?
289
00:09:54,580 --> 00:09:55,520
Need some advice?
290
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:56,520
Call in now.
291
00:09:56,740 --> 00:09:58,980
Mike Swanson will be back after these messages.
292
00:09:59,300 --> 00:10:00,620
The Computer Guru Show.
293
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:01,820
AM 1030.
294
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:02,640
KVOY.
295
00:10:02,900 --> 00:10:03,560
The Voice.
296
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:11,140
Whether you're dealing with hardware installation or, heaven forbid, a virus...
297
00:10:11,140 --> 00:10:11,240
No.
298
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:12,000
No.
299
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:12,520
No!
300
00:10:12,900 --> 00:10:16,240
Mike Swanson is answering all your questions one by one.
301
00:10:16,420 --> 00:10:18,300
So call in or chat in with yours.
302
00:10:18,580 --> 00:10:19,300
The website?
303
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:20,820
Gurushow.com.
304
00:10:21,180 --> 00:10:23,420
Tune in, click in, and kick back.
305
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:26,940
This is the Computer Guru Show on AM 1030.
306
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:27,880
KVOY.
307
00:10:27,940 --> 00:10:28,460
The Voice.
308
00:10:28,980 --> 00:10:33,920
So if you want to be part of the show, 790-2040, that's 520-790-2040.
309
00:10:34,060 --> 00:10:36,740
I'm going to go ahead and continue complaining, right?
310
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:41,960
Because during the break, there was really harsh language going on because, you know,
311
00:10:42,660 --> 00:10:45,860
we've been talking about getting the cameras in the studio, and I'm not even going to complain
312
00:10:45,860 --> 00:10:47,440
about that because it's not here yet.
313
00:10:47,580 --> 00:10:52,780
But, you know, there's some type of radio bureaucracy going on that basically doesn't allow me to
314
00:10:52,780 --> 00:10:53,380
put cameras in here.
315
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:58,460
But here's the bigger issue for me, is that, you know, I've kind of said it's really important
316
00:10:58,460 --> 00:10:59,980
that the internet work!
317
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:01,760
Holy crap!
318
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:05,480
There's no internet in the studio, and it makes me nuts!
319
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,280
Okay, so, now that I am done...
320
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:10,520
Did you lose the password?
321
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:14,660
No, I'm firmly connected to it, but there is no...
322
00:11:14,660 --> 00:11:15,780
No, I've been running...
323
00:11:15,860 --> 00:11:16,620
You're slow over here, too.
324
00:11:17,980 --> 00:11:18,400
See?
325
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:21,660
Take a deep breath.
326
00:11:21,660 --> 00:11:23,480
It's very zen-like at the moment.
327
00:11:23,540 --> 00:11:25,020
Breathe, count to ten.
328
00:11:25,020 --> 00:11:30,120
I'm tethering off of my phone in a cellular black hole just because the internet doesn't
329
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:31,180
work in the studio right now.
330
00:11:32,500 --> 00:11:34,720
I can't tether off my phone, so you've got to one-up.
331
00:11:34,740 --> 00:11:35,740
Yeah, all right.
332
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,320
So, let's talk about something that's a little more fun, shall we?
333
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:39,320
How about popcorn time?
334
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:40,340
Ooh.
335
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:43,900
So, this is an interesting experiment.
336
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:45,840
It has to be late.
337
00:11:45,860 --> 00:11:47,580
It's labeled as an experiment because that's how it started.
338
00:11:47,680 --> 00:11:48,820
It was a group of friends that got together.
339
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:53,920
They put together this very interesting group of technologies, right, where they built a
340
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:57,520
little software program that ties together about five different pieces of technology.
341
00:11:57,740 --> 00:11:58,160
Okay.
342
00:11:58,380 --> 00:12:02,540
All sort of randomly, and you install a little client on your machine.
343
00:12:02,580 --> 00:12:04,460
You say, I want to watch this movie.
344
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:05,400
Ooh.
345
00:12:05,560 --> 00:12:06,460
Any movie.
346
00:12:07,540 --> 00:12:10,960
And it starts playing on your computer nearly instantly.
347
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,280
Sounds better than a couple other programs.
348
00:12:14,340 --> 00:12:14,620
You know?
349
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:15,040
You know?
350
00:12:15,180 --> 00:12:15,660
You know?
351
00:12:15,660 --> 00:12:15,840
You know?
352
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:15,840
353
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:15,840
354
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:15,840
355
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:15,840
356
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:19,380
And then, when it gets done, it says, okay, I'm done with all that content.
357
00:12:19,680 --> 00:12:23,160
And so, basically, it's Netflix for pirates.
358
00:12:23,540 --> 00:12:28,260
Now, they are, you know, the people who wrote it, they're like, we don't expect any legal
359
00:12:28,260 --> 00:12:29,040
implications.
360
00:12:29,940 --> 00:12:30,580
All right?
361
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:31,660
They don't host anything.
362
00:12:32,020 --> 00:12:34,000
They don't charge any memberships.
363
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:34,820
Nobody gets paid.
364
00:12:34,900 --> 00:12:35,540
There's no advertising.
365
00:12:36,220 --> 00:12:39,500
It's completely experimental, as they put it.
366
00:12:39,740 --> 00:12:43,420
And there's no monetary gain involved.
367
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:45,820
So, basically, the laws don't apply to them.
368
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:46,280
Right.
369
00:12:46,740 --> 00:12:47,780
And they don't host anything.
370
00:12:47,940 --> 00:12:50,420
Also, laws don't apply to them.
371
00:12:51,140 --> 00:12:53,080
So, it's a very interesting setup.
372
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:55,280
So, it's like a middleman software, then.
373
00:12:55,560 --> 00:12:55,960
Yeah.
374
00:12:56,140 --> 00:12:58,740
Basically, all it is, it's like a scraper.
375
00:12:58,840 --> 00:12:59,240
Okay.
376
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:00,120
It goes out there.
377
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:04,400
It finds the stuff it needs to find in order for you to do what you want to do.
378
00:13:04,780 --> 00:13:07,260
And then, it erases itself when it's done.
379
00:13:07,540 --> 00:13:09,060
That sounds pretty cool to me.
380
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:10,600
It is very cool.
381
00:13:10,780 --> 00:13:12,440
So, you should check it out if you want.
382
00:13:12,560 --> 00:13:12,920
You can...
383
00:13:13,500 --> 00:13:15,820
We'll post a link to it on the Guru Show.
384
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:16,600
Guru Show site at the end.
385
00:13:16,820 --> 00:13:18,980
So, that is pretty nifty.
386
00:13:19,100 --> 00:13:21,940
It's a way for you to at least check out some movies if you want to.
387
00:13:22,500 --> 00:13:27,380
There is a questionable gray area as far as legality is concerned.
388
00:13:27,500 --> 00:13:28,700
But they spell it out pretty easily.
389
00:13:28,940 --> 00:13:33,860
They basically say, listen, because you're not really hosting anything.
390
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:35,180
You're not storing.
391
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:35,800
You're not sharing.
392
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:36,800
You're not seating.
393
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:41,460
You're not doing any of these things that would be on the illegal list.
394
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:45,760
They're basically gray-airing the crap out of the movie industry.
395
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:57,500
So, there's no way at the moment until somebody goes in and lobbies an idiot in Congress to change the laws that really that they can do anything about it.
396
00:13:57,680 --> 00:13:57,900
Right.
397
00:13:58,160 --> 00:13:59,080
Shall we talk to John?
398
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:00,380
I think we should talk to John.
399
00:14:00,460 --> 00:14:00,780
Hey, John.
400
00:14:00,820 --> 00:14:01,160
How are you doing?
401
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:02,840
Hey, not bad.
402
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:03,500
Guru, how are you?
403
00:14:04,260 --> 00:14:05,480
I'm kind of ranty today.
404
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:06,920
That's all right.
405
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:08,200
Ranty is when you're at your best.
406
00:14:08,380 --> 00:14:08,980
Oh, nice.
407
00:14:09,560 --> 00:14:10,280
How can I help you?
408
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:12,380
Well, I actually have a question.
409
00:14:12,740 --> 00:14:15,300
You were talking about security and the law.
410
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:23,060
And I kind of wonder about what the future of net neutrality is now that the FCC struck this down in the Verizon case.
411
00:14:23,220 --> 00:14:24,060
And there have been reports.
412
00:14:24,220 --> 00:14:31,120
I've had a lot of friends on the East Coast telling me that they can't access Netflix or everything they're streaming is just going really, really slow.
413
00:14:31,420 --> 00:14:39,400
And that Verizon has basically been given carte blanche to pick and choose what traffic they let through at what pace.
414
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:43,360
So, I was wondering if you have any info on what's going on with the future of net neutrality.
415
00:14:43,460 --> 00:14:45,740
Well, we know that the FCC has sort of changed their tone a bit.
416
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:46,480
Right.
417
00:14:46,540 --> 00:14:56,540
Now, the FCC actually basically didn't sanction that, but it got passed anyway, this particular rule, despite what the FCC had said.
418
00:14:56,640 --> 00:15:02,140
Now, the FCC basically said, well, we're not really going to change our stance on anything, right, previously to it getting passed.
419
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:07,580
They're like, we like the Internet the way it is, and we don't think that this should be happening.
420
00:15:07,660 --> 00:15:11,080
But basically, the government said, well, we're going to change this anyway.
421
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:12,580
So, they changed the law.
422
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,820
So, now the FCC's rebuttal has been, okay.
423
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:17,360
We're going to rewrite the rules now.
424
00:15:17,500 --> 00:15:22,960
And we're going to do what we're supposed to do and basically be more involved in this process.
425
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:29,580
And they're going to force neutrality upon basically everyone, which I think is a great thing.
426
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:30,940
Well, that's good news.
427
00:15:31,020 --> 00:15:33,100
So, we'll see how far the FCC can get.
428
00:15:33,460 --> 00:15:39,180
The thing is, is that people don't realize that the FCC is actually a rather powerful organization within the government.
429
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:40,180
I am.
430
00:15:40,260 --> 00:15:44,200
And they really have a lot of juice.
431
00:15:44,380 --> 00:15:44,700
I am.
432
00:15:44,700 --> 00:15:45,660
And I think that if they...
433
00:15:45,660 --> 00:15:52,980
If they flex their muscles properly, right, they can basically overturn that stuff with Verizon and Time Warner
434
00:15:52,980 --> 00:15:59,940
and all of these other people that have been pushing for the ability to throttle traffic on their networks at will.
435
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:02,840
Can I ask a follow-up question?
436
00:16:02,980 --> 00:16:03,100
Sure.
437
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:04,080
Since you brought that up.
438
00:16:04,180 --> 00:16:08,280
You brought up Time Warner, and I know that they're trying to merge with Comcast.
439
00:16:09,460 --> 00:16:11,880
Comcast said that they would not throttle traffic.
440
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,120
They made that public a long time ago.
441
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:15,480
Now, whether or not they stick to it.
442
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:16,100
It is one thing or another.
443
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:22,600
But Time Warner's been a company that's kind of been, you know, wanting to throttle traffic to push their own content.
444
00:16:22,740 --> 00:16:30,400
If this merger goes through, do you see that becoming a giant problem for 56% of America that's going to rely on this company for its broadband internet?
445
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:32,980
First of all, I see the whole merger as a giant problem.
446
00:16:33,340 --> 00:16:33,940
All right?
447
00:16:34,060 --> 00:16:39,000
I see that much like the AT&T T-Mobile merger.
448
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:39,940
All right?
449
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:41,080
I think that's terrible.
450
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:45,120
Now, there is no direct competition between the cable companies.
451
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:45,840
We know this.
452
00:16:46,180 --> 00:16:52,640
However, I actually used this to my advantage about two weeks ago.
453
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:53,360
All right?
454
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:57,160
Where I was having an argument with Cox about how much I pay for internet.
455
00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,840
And they basically said, well, you can stick it.
456
00:17:01,180 --> 00:17:05,280
And until I went to the sales rep and said, you know what?
457
00:17:05,700 --> 00:17:13,520
My other office is in Comcast, and I will move every one of my servers and cancel a contract and never pay you.
458
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:15,100
If you guys don't figure out how to do that.
459
00:17:15,100 --> 00:17:17,040
I'm going to make it so that I can get a better rate.
460
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:18,580
Fair enough.
461
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:27,240
And basically, I'm getting I can get almost the same speed out of Comcast for one quarter of the cost.
462
00:17:27,540 --> 00:17:33,120
And so I basically I called them and I said, I'm going to move all of my servers.
463
00:17:33,340 --> 00:17:33,700
All right?
464
00:17:33,740 --> 00:17:38,100
I will move $700 a month off of your service.
465
00:17:38,460 --> 00:17:39,060
All right?
466
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:42,240
If you guys can't figure out how to make it so that it's cheaper for me.
467
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:44,100
Now, this
468
00:17:45,100 --> 00:17:51,420
This is a lucky situation where I happen to have I can have the ability to have the cable companies compete against each other, but most people are not.
469
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,700
Yeah, I'm also in that situation where I live.
470
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,120
It's Comcast or Usenet.
471
00:17:57,260 --> 00:17:59,880
And, yeah, you can probably take a pick through there.
472
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:03,380
Yeah, that's pretty much you've got the worst of both worlds to choose from.
473
00:18:04,460 --> 00:18:13,820
However, back to your original point, is that if the FCC does their job the way that we're hoping, that the whole throttling thing is not going to be an issue.
474
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:14,920
Now, Comcast is already.
475
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:18,080
It's already been caught throttling traffic for Netflix and YouTube.
476
00:18:19,420 --> 00:18:23,720
Even though they say we don't do that, there have been people have found out, right?
477
00:18:23,780 --> 00:18:27,360
They're tracing those packets and showing conclusively that there's throttling happening.
478
00:18:27,940 --> 00:18:34,260
Now, it could be I'm just going to throw it out there just for the disclaimer of it all that, you know, there could have been a bad switch.
479
00:18:34,660 --> 00:18:35,100
Right?
480
00:18:35,260 --> 00:18:44,360
They could have popped across a network at the time of testing, but it seems pretty unlikely based off of when the tests were done and the time differences between them.
481
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:44,580
So.
482
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:48,980
So, my answer is, is I don't like the idea of the merger at all.
483
00:18:49,120 --> 00:18:59,600
And I think that the FCC really has to step in and make things happen in order for us to, you know, to make it so that we are not at the rule of government.
484
00:18:59,740 --> 00:19:06,000
I don't like the idea of the Internet as a whole being a government appliance, a utility.
485
00:19:06,380 --> 00:19:07,100
No, no, no.
486
00:19:07,100 --> 00:19:07,300
Yeah.
487
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,440
So, I mean, I think it needs to stay open and free.
488
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:11,980
I totally agree.
489
00:19:12,500 --> 00:19:13,280
All right, Goomer.
490
00:19:13,340 --> 00:19:14,400
Well, I appreciate your time.
491
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:14,900
Thank you.
492
00:19:14,900 --> 00:19:17,320
And I'm a big fan of the fact that you guys are back on the air.
493
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:18,320
It's excellent.
494
00:19:18,380 --> 00:19:22,940
I wish you could be at two hours again, but I'll take an hour a week and enjoy the living heck out of it.
495
00:19:23,020 --> 00:19:24,120
Well, we'll see what we can do about that.
496
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:26,000
So, we're working on that.
497
00:19:26,120 --> 00:19:27,020
But thanks for the call, man.
498
00:19:27,060 --> 00:19:27,600
I appreciate it.
499
00:19:27,700 --> 00:19:27,840
All right.
500
00:19:28,620 --> 00:19:29,640
All right, well, right on.
501
00:19:29,780 --> 00:19:36,380
Hey, I had a question texted to me, and I think you talked about this last week, about security breach on the Apple iPhone apps.
502
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:37,000
Right.
503
00:19:37,140 --> 00:19:38,280
Specifically for banking?
504
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:40,960
Well, SSL as a whole.
505
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:41,600
Okay.
506
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,040
It's anything that's secured.
507
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:51,400
So, like banking, like Google Mail, like FaceTime, like anything that Apple uses.
508
00:19:51,580 --> 00:19:53,880
I think banking was the biggest issue, though.
509
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:55,340
Yeah, that's what I'm led to believe.
510
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:55,960
Right.
511
00:19:56,000 --> 00:20:00,240
Well, basically, anytime you think you're safe on a Mac, you're totally not right now.
512
00:20:00,540 --> 00:20:05,700
And they have pushed out some patches, but none of them have strictly dealt with the SSL issue.
513
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:09,500
Basically, it's still in the wild at this point.
514
00:20:09,580 --> 00:20:13,680
Now, if you have a mobile device and you've got your updates, you're cool.
515
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:14,560
Everything's fine.
516
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:16,980
We're led to believe that anyway.
517
00:20:18,220 --> 00:20:23,200
But as far as the desktop units, there's still not an official fix for that as of yet.
518
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:25,640
We're still looking, though.
519
00:20:26,060 --> 00:20:27,120
We'll let you know.
520
00:20:27,300 --> 00:20:30,380
Yeah, well, you know, I think I'll just do some banking on the Mac.
521
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:32,340
That's what we're going to do.
522
00:20:33,700 --> 00:20:39,220
If you'd like to be part of the show, 7902040, that's 520-7902040.
523
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:41,400
Yeah.
524
00:20:41,580 --> 00:20:41,680
Yeah.
525
00:20:42,120 --> 00:20:44,380
The whole, what does the ISP mean thing?
526
00:20:44,380 --> 00:20:45,440
Just made me nuts.
527
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:46,480
I can tell.
528
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:49,920
I was not, I wasn't even planning on being all that ranty today.
529
00:20:49,980 --> 00:20:52,180
I was just like, let's see what's on the news.
530
00:20:52,260 --> 00:20:52,740
We'll just go ahead.
531
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:54,980
And then I saw that and I was just like, you know what?
532
00:20:55,100 --> 00:21:01,520
I found my first segment of the show because that was just, it's so ridiculous.
533
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:04,720
You would think that they'd have a basic knowledge.
534
00:21:05,700 --> 00:21:08,580
That's one of the first things you learn in computer class.
535
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:10,720
The thing that bothers me about it.
536
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:11,200
All right.
537
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:13,340
A little micro rant going on here.
538
00:21:13,340 --> 00:21:14,360
I'm sorry.
539
00:21:14,740 --> 00:21:20,680
Is that, you know, the whole thing coming out of government is, listen, we're trying to keep you safe.
540
00:21:20,740 --> 00:21:22,600
We just want to save you.
541
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:24,180
We just want to save you.
542
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:26,260
And that's what one side of their face is saying.
543
00:21:26,380 --> 00:21:33,760
Where the other one's like, we just want to record everything about you and save it for future use in case you turn out to be a jerk.
544
00:21:34,260 --> 00:21:34,580
Right.
545
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:36,520
That is stupid.
546
00:21:36,740 --> 00:21:37,180
Right.
547
00:21:38,300 --> 00:21:40,760
You know who else collected me to death?
548
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:43,180
Let's think back to World War.
549
00:21:43,340 --> 00:21:44,040
Two, shall we?
550
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:44,380
Yeah.
551
00:21:44,540 --> 00:21:45,100
Metadata.
552
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:45,760
Right.
553
00:21:45,860 --> 00:21:47,660
Even though it didn't have the name back then.
554
00:21:48,220 --> 00:21:48,780
Yeah.
555
00:21:49,420 --> 00:22:02,580
There was a certain country on the planet under a certain dictatorial leadership that was called a democratic that basically recorded everything about everyone and used it against them in a time of war.
556
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:04,860
We don't need that.
557
00:22:05,060 --> 00:22:09,580
I don't know that I really have to spell it out any more plainly than that.
558
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:12,100
I don't think I have to use the H word today.
559
00:22:12,220 --> 00:22:13,240
But I'm just.
560
00:22:13,340 --> 00:22:27,800
I'm just going to go ahead and say that there are historical instances that we can go back to and to conclusively prove that it's not a great idea to just record everything or let the government have all of the power.
561
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:30,320
I think that's just probably a bad idea.
562
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:30,680
Right.
563
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:34,300
Hey, Homer Simpson had had something to say about that.
564
00:22:34,360 --> 00:22:34,780
Oh, yeah.
565
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:36,220
Press any key.
566
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:37,620
Where's the any key?
567
00:22:37,900 --> 00:22:38,680
I see.
568
00:22:38,820 --> 00:22:39,300
Ask.
569
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:40,360
Katara.
570
00:22:40,660 --> 00:22:41,980
And pick up.
571
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:43,260
It doesn't seem to be.
572
00:22:43,260 --> 00:22:43,820
It doesn't seem to be any key.
573
00:22:44,580 --> 00:22:45,840
Reminds me of the old show.
574
00:22:46,300 --> 00:22:46,660
All right.
575
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:47,820
Let's go ahead and talk to John.
576
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:48,620
Hello, John.
577
00:22:49,820 --> 00:22:51,640
Thanks so much for taking my call.
578
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:54,520
I had something happen this last week.
579
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:57,220
And I was just listening to you guys.
580
00:22:57,260 --> 00:22:59,780
And I thought I'd see what you could tell me.
581
00:23:00,060 --> 00:23:13,040
I got a message on my Verizon Motorola phone that said that my Verizon account, the question, the secret question had been changed.
582
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:17,020
So I called Verizon because I hadn't changed it.
583
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:17,600
Right.
584
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:20,420
And the guy told me my phone had been hacked.
585
00:23:21,420 --> 00:23:24,720
And I said, well, I'd like you to fix that.
586
00:23:24,900 --> 00:23:31,160
And he proceeded to tell me I needed to hire somebody for $200 to come redo my phone.
587
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:35,860
I said, I wanted Verizon to fix it.
588
00:23:36,420 --> 00:23:38,920
And he kept trying to sell me this thing.
589
00:23:39,180 --> 00:23:39,640
Right.
590
00:23:39,660 --> 00:23:42,580
And finally, he said, okay, turn your phone off.
591
00:23:43,260 --> 00:23:45,540
Turn it on in 15 minutes and it'll be okay.
592
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:52,440
Then another friend said I should get like a VPN on my phone.
593
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:56,180
And this is all strange to me.
594
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:58,160
Can you help me understand what's going on?
595
00:23:58,440 --> 00:23:58,760
Right.
596
00:23:58,820 --> 00:24:00,400
The whole thing is a scam, by the way.
597
00:24:00,940 --> 00:24:01,660
Oh, is it?
598
00:24:01,740 --> 00:24:01,960
Yeah.
599
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:03,720
The message that you got was a scam.
600
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:11,040
Interestingly enough, the number that's listed in that message you get on your phone is the real number for Verizon.
601
00:24:11,060 --> 00:24:11,840
But somehow.
602
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:19,880
When you click on it or try to call them, you end up somewhere else, not necessarily with Verizon.
603
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:25,440
And it's actually been pretty big news for the last week where this is a big deal.
604
00:24:25,540 --> 00:24:27,980
And people should not give up their information.
605
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:33,260
You should not click on a link on your phone to call Verizon.
606
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:38,800
If you are going to call them, the best way to do it is to make sure you clear everything.
607
00:24:39,180 --> 00:24:41,520
Basically, do not click on that text message.
608
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:43,000
Go to the phone and dial 611.
609
00:24:43,860 --> 00:24:48,540
That way you end up directly at Verizon with no intermediary steps.
610
00:24:49,220 --> 00:24:51,820
And by the way, the 611 call is minutes free.
611
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:55,600
So, yes, it is a scam.
612
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:56,360
It's out there.
613
00:24:56,420 --> 00:24:59,440
The guy was trying to get you to give up money for no good reason.
614
00:24:59,660 --> 00:25:01,020
Your phone is not hacked.
615
00:25:01,300 --> 00:25:04,000
You don't have to worry about that part of it.
616
00:25:04,260 --> 00:25:11,280
If you have concerns at all, right, and you have like an Android phone, you know, make sure everything is backed up.
617
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,860
To either your Google account or some other method.
618
00:25:15,460 --> 00:25:17,340
And format the phone, right?
619
00:25:17,420 --> 00:25:18,980
Just basically go into privacy settings.
620
00:25:19,220 --> 00:25:21,340
Tell it you want to start over.
621
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:23,220
And it will clear your phone completely.
622
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:26,700
And it does not cost $200.
623
00:25:27,060 --> 00:25:28,500
It takes 10 minutes of your time.
624
00:25:28,740 --> 00:25:31,820
If your stuff is synchronized with Google properly, it will all come back.
625
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:33,080
Okay.
626
00:25:33,260 --> 00:25:35,960
So, basically, you know, don't listen to that.
627
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:37,060
It's all bogus.
628
00:25:37,500 --> 00:25:38,140
Thank you.
629
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:38,880
That's very helpful.
630
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:40,860
It's obvious I've had my head in the sand.
631
00:25:40,860 --> 00:25:42,100
And not hear all the news.
632
00:25:42,420 --> 00:25:45,920
Well, you know, I see the news because that's what we're looking for.
633
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:49,180
And I don't know that it's necessarily been out in mainstream news.
634
00:25:49,300 --> 00:25:50,040
Not really, no.
635
00:25:50,260 --> 00:25:52,980
I think there was a mention of it on some national news stuff.
636
00:25:53,120 --> 00:25:57,720
And I know that a couple of the local TV stations had talked about it briefly.
637
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:03,440
But, you know, if you really want to keep track of this stuff, you follow gurushow.com.
638
00:26:03,700 --> 00:26:04,140
Yes.
639
00:26:04,140 --> 00:26:06,300
Or go to our Facebook page.
640
00:26:06,380 --> 00:26:10,520
Because as we get this type of information, we generally post it.
641
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:11,480
Everybody knows about it.
642
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:12,780
That's fantastic.
643
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:21,440
And then could you just real quickly, is it worthwhile to get like a VPN for your phone or for your home computer?
644
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:25,420
Well, it depends on your tech savviness level.
645
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:26,460
All right.
646
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:32,100
So, if you are comfortable with learning that type of, you know, the extra steps involved, absolutely.
647
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:33,540
The VPN stuff is great.
648
00:26:33,700 --> 00:26:34,320
All right.
649
00:26:34,380 --> 00:26:34,660
Okay.
650
00:26:34,900 --> 00:26:39,820
But at the same time, you know, I don't like pushing people too far outside of their comfort limits.
651
00:26:39,820 --> 00:26:43,980
We like to take little steps so that we can get you there without overwhelming you.
652
00:26:45,620 --> 00:26:46,060
Perfect.
653
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:49,900
But if you're already familiar with the VPN stuff, I say go for it.
654
00:26:50,620 --> 00:26:51,280
Very good.
655
00:26:51,360 --> 00:26:51,920
Thanks, guys.
656
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:52,920
This was really helpful.
657
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:53,700
Appreciate it.
658
00:26:53,900 --> 00:26:54,520
All right.
659
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:55,060
Thanks, John.
660
00:26:55,140 --> 00:26:55,760
I appreciate it.
661
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:03,180
Your computer guru, Mike Swanson, is here to help you tame that beast of a machine.
662
00:27:03,500 --> 00:27:07,040
Join the chat right now at gurushow.com or call in.
663
00:27:07,100 --> 00:27:09,680
This is the Computer Guru Show on KVO.
664
00:27:09,820 --> 00:27:09,980
Why?
665
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:10,580
The Voice.
666
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:17,120
You're listening to the Computer Guru Show on AM 1030.
667
00:27:17,360 --> 00:27:17,720
KVO.
668
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:18,000
Why?
669
00:27:18,100 --> 00:27:18,640
The Voice.
670
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:23,400
Welcome back to the Computer Guru Show.
671
00:27:24,360 --> 00:27:25,980
Nothing like a little break to calm me down.
672
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:33,540
Yeah, because, you know, I've been particularly kind of hateful today, mainly on government stuff.
673
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:34,580
Maybe not hateful enough.
674
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:36,180
I should probably crank it up a notch.
675
00:27:36,220 --> 00:27:36,940
I'm going to turn it up to 11.
676
00:27:37,180 --> 00:27:38,120
That's what we're going to do.
677
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:38,560
All right.
678
00:27:38,580 --> 00:27:39,000
Give us a call.
679
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:41,240
Call 790-2040.
680
00:27:42,700 --> 00:27:43,340
790-2040.
681
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:46,860
In the 520 area code if you want to be calling from out of state.
682
00:27:46,980 --> 00:27:48,020
We would love to hear from you.
683
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:49,080
Also, we've got a chat room set up.
684
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:55,740
If you want to just ask us questions in the chat room, you can go on the Facebook site to see it there.
685
00:27:57,580 --> 00:28:05,460
Basically, I'll add that as part of the Guru Show standard link after the show today, but there wasn't enough time before airtime today to pull that off.
686
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:06,940
Because it's daughter weekend.
687
00:28:07,140 --> 00:28:08,100
I get to hang out with my daughter.
688
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:08,980
Maybe that's what it is.
689
00:28:08,980 --> 00:28:17,500
I spend all this time not cursing and being nice and hanging out with the innocent 11-year-old.
690
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:19,240
Then I'm like, I've got to unbottle this.
691
00:28:20,660 --> 00:28:24,100
That article about them not knowing what ISP meant just made me crazy.
692
00:28:25,300 --> 00:28:27,480
Let's talk about things that are more fun, shall we?
693
00:28:27,580 --> 00:28:28,180
Shall we?
694
00:28:28,380 --> 00:28:29,040
Fun stuff.
695
00:28:29,300 --> 00:28:30,120
How about lawsuits?
696
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:34,040
So much more fun.
697
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:36,480
We should talk about WhatsApp for a second.
698
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:36,960
Yeah.
699
00:28:37,100 --> 00:28:38,700
There's an issue.
700
00:28:38,700 --> 00:28:39,940
There's an issue with WhatsApp right now.
701
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:45,360
In case you haven't heard, Facebook is acquiring WhatsApp.
702
00:28:45,660 --> 00:28:46,100
Yeah.
703
00:28:46,260 --> 00:28:47,300
Are they still in process?
704
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:47,800
I thought it was done.
705
00:28:48,060 --> 00:28:49,300
It may be done.
706
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:50,460
I'm not sure.
707
00:28:50,500 --> 00:28:51,020
I'd have to look.
708
00:28:51,060 --> 00:28:52,560
Do you remember the number?
709
00:28:52,660 --> 00:28:53,060
Oh.
710
00:28:53,340 --> 00:28:54,920
How much they paid for that?
711
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:55,320
Yeah.
712
00:28:55,500 --> 00:28:56,040
All right.
713
00:28:56,060 --> 00:28:59,100
So it was, I believe, $15 billion?
714
00:28:59,280 --> 00:28:59,620
Billion.
715
00:28:59,620 --> 00:29:00,040
Yeah.
716
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:00,440
With a D.
717
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:00,780
Yeah.
718
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:01,780
$15 billion.
719
00:29:02,260 --> 00:29:02,700
Bravo.
720
00:29:03,820 --> 00:29:06,940
$15 billion for an application Facebook has paid.
721
00:29:07,060 --> 00:29:07,500
Yeah.
722
00:29:07,500 --> 00:29:07,920
For WhatsApp.
723
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:08,040
Yeah.
724
00:29:08,060 --> 00:29:09,560
And they're not even using it, basically.
725
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:10,000
Yeah.
726
00:29:10,140 --> 00:29:10,380
All right.
727
00:29:10,500 --> 00:29:16,300
Here's the problem with that, is that somebody put together a list of things that you could
728
00:29:16,300 --> 00:29:17,640
do with $15 billion.
729
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:19,360
You could buy an entire country.
730
00:29:19,700 --> 00:29:20,140
Yes.
731
00:29:20,140 --> 00:29:20,200
All right.
732
00:29:20,260 --> 00:29:21,240
For $15 billion.
733
00:29:22,220 --> 00:29:25,740
There's a list that all the things that you could buy for $15 billion.
734
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:29,760
You could effectively end world hunger for $15 billion.
735
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:33,580
And they paid that for a software that they're not even going to use.
736
00:29:33,740 --> 00:29:34,560
That's ridiculous.
737
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:35,560
All right.
738
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:36,720
Now, hey, whatever.
739
00:29:36,940 --> 00:29:37,700
It's their money.
740
00:29:37,700 --> 00:29:37,800
It's their money.
741
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:38,520
Do what they want with it.
742
00:29:38,540 --> 00:29:38,660
Yeah.
743
00:29:38,660 --> 00:29:40,420
But now there's a lawsuit.
744
00:29:40,780 --> 00:29:41,200
Yeah.
745
00:29:41,420 --> 00:29:41,940
Right.
746
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:45,160
Because WhatsApp is all about, hey, we don't track anything.
747
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:45,680
Right.
748
00:29:45,780 --> 00:29:50,320
They're very big on public security and not anonymity.
749
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:51,920
They're anti-NSA.
750
00:29:52,100 --> 00:29:52,400
Yeah.
751
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:52,780
All right.
752
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:54,700
And Facebook is definitely not that.
753
00:29:54,900 --> 00:29:55,320
Right.
754
00:29:55,440 --> 00:30:02,100
So the Electronic Privacy Information Center, they actually put out an injunction complaint
755
00:30:02,100 --> 00:30:06,120
to the Federal Trade Commission.
756
00:30:06,380 --> 00:30:07,520
So we'll see.
757
00:30:07,700 --> 00:30:09,360
We'll see how that turns out for them.
758
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:11,660
I kind of hope that it works out.
759
00:30:11,660 --> 00:30:12,320
Well, it's going to stall.
760
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:13,340
I don't think it's going to stop anything.
761
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:13,600
No.
762
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:14,620
But it's going to stall it out for a minute.
763
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:16,720
Let's talk to Suzanne.
764
00:30:16,900 --> 00:30:17,320
Hey, Suzanne.
765
00:30:17,420 --> 00:30:17,740
How are you?
766
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:18,660
I'm good.
767
00:30:18,700 --> 00:30:19,060
Thank you.
768
00:30:19,220 --> 00:30:20,080
What can I do for you?
769
00:30:20,580 --> 00:30:26,800
I have an app that's on my computer that I did not install, and I cannot find any way
770
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:27,460
to delete it.
771
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:28,520
What is this app?
772
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:31,200
Zcom underscore ad.
773
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:33,360
Zcom?
774
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:34,560
I don't know what that is.
775
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:35,340
Z is in zebra.
776
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:36,480
Oh, Zcom.
777
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:37,480
Zcom.
778
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:37,480
779
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:37,660
Zcom.
780
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:37,680
781
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:37,680
782
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:37,680
783
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:37,680
784
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:37,680
785
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:37,680
786
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:37,960
Zcom doesn't help me.
787
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:39,380
I don't even know what that one is.
788
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:41,780
So where are you seeing it?
789
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:46,800
When I shut down my computer, it says your computer's not shutting down because this
790
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:47,680
app is still running.
791
00:30:47,900 --> 00:30:49,000
What version of Windows do you have?
792
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:49,980
Windows 8.
793
00:30:50,380 --> 00:30:51,060
You have 8?
794
00:30:51,220 --> 00:30:51,500
Okay.
795
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:52,900
All right.
796
00:30:52,940 --> 00:30:53,860
So let's see.
797
00:30:53,940 --> 00:31:01,100
Easy ways to at least get the larger or more prevalent items out of the way.
798
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:06,840
And by the way, if you're sort of a do-it-yourselfer and you want to check stuff out and try to
799
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:07,360
clean your stuff.
800
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:08,040
OK.
801
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:18,840
OK.
802
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:19,060
OK.
803
00:31:19,060 --> 00:31:19,060
804
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:19,200
805
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:21,080
OK.
806
00:31:21,420 --> 00:31:21,740
OK.
807
00:31:21,820 --> 00:31:21,820
808
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:23,160
809
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:23,260
OK.
810
00:31:23,380 --> 00:31:23,380
811
00:31:23,460 --> 00:31:23,740
OK.
812
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:26,320
OK.
813
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:27,060
OK.
814
00:31:27,660 --> 00:31:27,980
OK.
815
00:31:28,060 --> 00:31:28,260
OK.
816
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:28,560
OK.
817
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:28,560
818
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:28,820
OK.
819
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:29,080
820
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:29,080
821
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:29,080
822
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:29,160
823
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:29,160
824
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:29,160
825
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:29,160
826
00:31:29,220 --> 00:31:29,220
827
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:29,240
828
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:29,240
829
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:29,240
830
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:29,240
831
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:29,240
832
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:29,240
833
00:31:29,260 --> 00:31:29,280
OK.
834
00:31:29,300 --> 00:31:29,300
835
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:29,340
OK.
836
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:29,380
OK.
837
00:31:29,380 --> 00:31:29,400
OK.
838
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:29,500
OK.
839
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:29,520
840
00:31:29,540 --> 00:31:29,540
841
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:29,560
842
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:29,580
OK.
843
00:31:29,580 --> 00:31:29,580
844
00:31:29,580 --> 00:31:29,580
845
00:31:29,580 --> 00:31:29,580
846
00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:30,360
OK.
847
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:31,320
OK.
848
00:31:31,460 --> 00:31:31,780
OK.
849
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:32,720
OK.
850
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:34,280
OK.
851
00:31:35,300 --> 00:31:35,420
OK.
852
00:31:35,540 --> 00:31:35,800
OK.
853
00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:36,240
OK.
854
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:36,800
OK.
855
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:37,600
The built-in Windows one.
856
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:38,120
Okay.
857
00:31:38,540 --> 00:31:38,900
Perfect.
858
00:31:39,300 --> 00:31:39,960
That's a good one.
859
00:31:39,980 --> 00:31:42,300
Is it the paid version or the free version of Malwarebytes?
860
00:31:42,860 --> 00:31:43,220
Paid.
861
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:43,960
Paid version.
862
00:31:44,020 --> 00:31:44,200
Okay.
863
00:31:44,260 --> 00:31:47,620
So when you try to uninstall, do you see a place where you can uninstall this from the
864
00:31:47,620 --> 00:31:48,400
add or remove programs list?
865
00:31:49,140 --> 00:31:50,500
I can't find it anywhere.
866
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:56,500
Every time I've gone into the app and searched this app and stuff, I can't find it anywhere.
867
00:31:57,600 --> 00:31:57,960
Okay.
868
00:31:57,960 --> 00:31:59,260
Except when I shut down my machine.
869
00:31:59,480 --> 00:31:59,720
All right.
870
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:02,200
Give me the spelling on that again because I'm going to look it up over this next break.
871
00:32:02,820 --> 00:32:04,100
Z as in zebra.
872
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:04,580
Uh-huh.
873
00:32:04,580 --> 00:32:08,360
Z-O-M underscore add.
874
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:10,320
Like A-D or A-D?
875
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:10,720
Okay.
876
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:12,000
All right.
877
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:14,420
Well, I'm going to look that up over the break and we're going to see what we can find for
878
00:32:14,420 --> 00:32:14,560
you.
879
00:32:14,820 --> 00:32:15,140
Okay.
880
00:32:15,180 --> 00:32:16,380
Then can I ask you another question?
881
00:32:16,420 --> 00:32:16,580
Yes.
882
00:32:16,580 --> 00:32:16,820
Go ahead.
883
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:17,680
Okay.
884
00:32:17,740 --> 00:32:23,100
I have a Microsoft Windows XP program on an old computer you worked on years ago.
885
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:27,980
And it says now that XP is no longer supported with updates.
886
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:29,100
That is correct.
887
00:32:30,100 --> 00:32:34,560
So how do I get the security essentials to not work anymore?
888
00:32:34,580 --> 00:32:37,460
Well, security essentials is going to work for another year.
889
00:32:37,660 --> 00:32:38,200
Uh-huh.
890
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:38,560
All right.
891
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:42,280
So that part of it will work as far as updates are concerned.
892
00:32:42,620 --> 00:32:43,620
But that is it.
893
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:44,440
Okay.
894
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:46,080
I have malware on that computer also.
895
00:32:46,860 --> 00:32:47,840
As far as malware bytes?
896
00:32:48,060 --> 00:32:48,380
Yes.
897
00:32:48,540 --> 00:32:48,680
Yeah.
898
00:32:48,740 --> 00:32:49,640
And that's fine.
899
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:52,020
That one will continue to update because it has nothing to do with Windows.
900
00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:58,600
But as far as the built-in security updates for security essentials, you get one more year.
901
00:32:59,220 --> 00:33:00,620
You shouldn't be in XP anymore.
902
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:01,440
Right.
903
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:02,760
Well, I have embroidery.
904
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:04,380
I'm the one with the embroidery machines.
905
00:33:04,580 --> 00:33:06,120
And that's where all my software is at.
906
00:33:07,260 --> 00:33:07,700
Okay.
907
00:33:08,380 --> 00:33:13,660
And I can't update the software to anything newer that will work with anything other than XP.
908
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:14,480
Okay.
909
00:33:14,500 --> 00:33:15,880
Who is your internet provider, by the way?
910
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:19,200
I just now got Verizon.
911
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:20,500
Who did you have before?
912
00:33:21,100 --> 00:33:22,180
I was dial-up.
913
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:23,340
On net zero, right?
914
00:33:23,620 --> 00:33:24,060
No.
915
00:33:24,340 --> 00:33:27,220
I was dial-up on Juno.
916
00:33:28,060 --> 00:33:29,260
That's pretty much the same thing.
917
00:33:29,500 --> 00:33:32,780
So your program there, the ZCOM?
918
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:33,840
Uh-huh.
919
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:34,260
It is...
920
00:33:34,580 --> 00:33:35,860
Part of the net zero dialer package.
921
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:37,080
Oh, is it?
922
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:37,420
Yeah.
923
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:44,100
So I would say that you go and uninstall anything that has anything to do with Juno off of your machine.
924
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:44,900
Oh, okay.
925
00:33:44,900 --> 00:33:46,280
Or net zero if you find it.
926
00:33:47,060 --> 00:33:48,860
And that'll probably deal with that issue.
927
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:53,120
Yeah, because I'm all of a sudden having these pop-up ads that start talking to me.
928
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:55,440
Yeah, well, uninstall that stuff.
929
00:33:55,940 --> 00:33:57,860
And that should probably help with that.
930
00:33:57,940 --> 00:34:00,260
Now, as far as your embroidery machine is concerned,
931
00:34:00,460 --> 00:34:01,140
is there...
932
00:34:01,140 --> 00:34:01,680
Uh-huh.
933
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:04,480
We could make it so that it's not connected to the internet.
934
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:04,860
It's not connected to the internet anymore.
935
00:34:05,820 --> 00:34:07,260
And then you don't have to worry about those updates,
936
00:34:07,340 --> 00:34:09,640
and you can run your embroidery stuff all day long off that computer.
937
00:34:10,240 --> 00:34:10,800
Okay, great.
938
00:34:11,020 --> 00:34:13,300
And then that way, you can just continue to use it that way.
939
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:14,200
Okay.
940
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:14,660
All right?
941
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:15,200
That sounds good.
942
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:17,900
So what you should do is call the shop and set up an appointment for that.
943
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:19,040
We can make that happen for you.
944
00:34:19,420 --> 00:34:19,700
Right.
945
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:21,340
You've done wonderful things for my computers.
946
00:34:21,860 --> 00:34:22,560
Well, thank you.
947
00:34:22,580 --> 00:34:23,260
I appreciate that.
948
00:34:23,340 --> 00:34:24,900
I'm so glad you're back on the air.
949
00:34:25,100 --> 00:34:25,500
Me too.
950
00:34:25,740 --> 00:34:28,420
So, yeah, call the shop, the 304-8300.
951
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:29,700
Okay, great.
952
00:34:29,900 --> 00:34:30,580
Thank you very much.
953
00:34:30,620 --> 00:34:31,500
Thank you so much.
954
00:34:31,580 --> 00:34:31,780
Goodbye.
955
00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:32,280
Bye.
956
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:33,400
All right.
957
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:33,800
So...
958
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:35,680
Well, let's go ahead and throw out the specials for the week,
959
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:36,740
just because we're running out of time.
960
00:34:36,860 --> 00:34:38,880
An hour is not enough to do this show.
961
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:39,440
It really isn't.
962
00:34:39,460 --> 00:34:39,680
I'm just saying.
963
00:34:39,780 --> 00:34:40,740
Harry, make it happen.
964
00:34:40,820 --> 00:34:41,540
I need an extra hour.
965
00:34:42,720 --> 00:34:43,220
All right.
966
00:34:43,260 --> 00:34:47,240
So if you want to, get in contact with us, 304-8300.
967
00:34:47,420 --> 00:34:48,900
The special that we're running is,
968
00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:52,440
if you are a member of our newsletter every week,
969
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:53,460
you would know this already.
970
00:34:54,180 --> 00:34:57,340
But in-shop labor is basically $20 an hour off.
971
00:34:57,420 --> 00:35:00,640
It's $55 an hour instead of $75, as it normally would be.
972
00:35:00,980 --> 00:35:03,320
So if you come into the shop,
973
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:05,940
you can mention that you heard this on the show.
974
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:07,460
You have to mention it.
975
00:35:07,500 --> 00:35:09,920
Otherwise, you don't get the deal, just so you know.
976
00:35:10,420 --> 00:35:11,640
Mention that you heard it on the show,
977
00:35:11,720 --> 00:35:15,240
and you get a discount for the service after check-in.
978
00:35:15,380 --> 00:35:17,660
So go ahead and do that.
979
00:35:17,780 --> 00:35:19,320
Also, if you are interested,
980
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:22,880
we're going to offer 50% off for one week only web development.
981
00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:23,840
It'll make Rob happy.
982
00:35:25,460 --> 00:35:28,820
So just if you want to talk about the web presence and how...
983
00:35:29,300 --> 00:35:31,400
You don't even know how important it is, right?
984
00:35:31,500 --> 00:35:33,300
Because, Terry, when was the last time that you looked at a...
985
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:33,520
Phone book?
986
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:37,780
I was a child, and I used it to stand on something.
987
00:35:37,820 --> 00:35:38,100
Right.
988
00:35:38,240 --> 00:35:43,700
See, now that's the only reason that phone books exist anymore, right?
989
00:35:44,220 --> 00:35:46,540
If you're cold in the winter, you can set them on fire.
990
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:53,600
Otherwise, basically, I want to be able to cite, you know,
991
00:35:54,620 --> 00:35:57,460
CenturyLink, your request, or whatever their name is these days,
992
00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:00,260
with a littering charge every time they drop a phone book at my place.
993
00:36:00,380 --> 00:36:01,700
I never, ever open them.
994
00:36:01,780 --> 00:36:03,020
I don't advertise in them.
995
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:05,440
I refuse to even look at one, right?
996
00:36:05,500 --> 00:36:06,460
Just because it's this.
997
00:36:06,540 --> 00:36:07,860
So it's like fax machines.
998
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:08,920
They don't exist anymore.
999
00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:09,340
Yeah.
1000
00:36:09,420 --> 00:36:11,040
Stop using them because they don't exist.
1001
00:36:11,100 --> 00:36:15,340
That thing that you're sending paper through and sending facsimile images to other people,
1002
00:36:15,420 --> 00:36:17,240
it's a figment of your imagination.
1003
00:36:17,240 --> 00:36:18,580
Stop using it, right?
1004
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:19,900
Get with the digital already.
1005
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:20,960
All right.
1006
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:21,920
Let's go ahead and take a break.
1007
00:36:23,860 --> 00:36:24,780
Computer troubles?
1008
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:26,000
Need some advice?
1009
00:36:26,300 --> 00:36:27,000
Call in now.
1010
00:36:27,180 --> 00:36:29,440
Mike Swanson will be back after these messages.
1011
00:36:29,720 --> 00:36:31,080
The Computer Guru Show.
1012
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:32,300
AM 1030.
1013
00:36:32,660 --> 00:36:33,140
KVOY.
1014
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:34,040
The Voice.
1015
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:41,520
Whether you're dealing with hardware installation or, heaven forbid, a virus,
1016
00:36:41,660 --> 00:36:41,720
No!
1017
00:36:42,100 --> 00:36:42,620
No!
1018
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:42,940
No!
1019
00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:46,680
Mike Swanson is answering all your questions one by one.
1020
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:48,820
So call in or chat in with yours.
1021
00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:49,800
The website?
1022
00:36:50,240 --> 00:36:51,320
Gurushow.com.
1023
00:36:51,660 --> 00:36:53,920
Tune in, click in, and kick back.
1024
00:36:54,180 --> 00:36:57,440
This is The Computer Guru Show on AM 1030.
1025
00:36:57,860 --> 00:36:58,380
KVOY.
1026
00:36:58,460 --> 00:36:58,960
The Voice.
1027
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:02,160
790-2040 if you want to be part of the show.
1028
00:37:02,220 --> 00:37:03,300
That's 520-790-2040.
1029
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:07,860
790-2040 for the last segment of this week, just because we're almost out of time.
1030
00:37:08,240 --> 00:37:09,540
I know it's a darn shame.
1031
00:37:09,540 --> 00:37:10,240
It really is.
1032
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:12,980
But, you know, some of us have weekend jobs.
1033
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:14,960
It's gone by really fast, though.
1034
00:37:14,980 --> 00:37:16,220
It does happen in a hurry.
1035
00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:18,080
Except for the people who are bored.
1036
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:19,960
Then they're like, when is this show going to be over?
1037
00:37:20,140 --> 00:37:20,500
Right?
1038
00:37:20,720 --> 00:37:22,440
I want to talk about some horses and stuff.
1039
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:23,720
That's what's going to happen.
1040
00:37:27,420 --> 00:37:31,160
It's going to be an interesting conversation in the hallway here in a minute.
1041
00:37:32,240 --> 00:37:33,300
790-2040 if you want to be part of the show.
1042
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:37,620
Now, we talked about popcorn time, and I like this idea.
1043
00:37:37,780 --> 00:37:38,880
I'm all about cord cutting.
1044
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:41,000
So we're going to revisit this for a second.
1045
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:43,180
There are other ways to pull this off.
1046
00:37:44,860 --> 00:37:47,600
And slightly more legitimate ways to do it.
1047
00:37:47,700 --> 00:37:51,060
A lot of this stuff is available out there through various other services.
1048
00:37:52,220 --> 00:37:58,800
And we've complained a lot over the weeks about how it's not a good idea to legislate a business model.
1049
00:37:59,420 --> 00:38:02,880
It's much better to adapt to the technology that's out there.
1050
00:38:02,900 --> 00:38:03,020
Right?
1051
00:38:03,020 --> 00:38:03,100
Right.
1052
00:38:03,100 --> 00:38:03,300
Right.
1053
00:38:03,300 --> 00:38:03,300
1054
00:38:03,300 --> 00:38:03,300
1055
00:38:03,300 --> 00:38:03,300
1056
00:38:03,300 --> 00:38:03,300
1057
00:38:03,300 --> 00:38:03,300
1058
00:38:03,300 --> 00:38:03,300
1059
00:38:03,300 --> 00:38:03,300
1060
00:38:03,300 --> 00:38:03,300
1061
00:38:03,300 --> 00:38:03,300
1062
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:07,160
Popcorn time is sort of revolutionary in the way that it works.
1063
00:38:07,260 --> 00:38:10,400
And a lot of people come down on this type of technology.
1064
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:13,660
And they're like, oh, you're just stealing from the movie companies or whatever.
1065
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:16,280
Like they don't have enough money in the first place.
1066
00:38:16,340 --> 00:38:19,920
But beyond that, these guys are the pioneers.
1067
00:38:20,140 --> 00:38:20,400
Right?
1068
00:38:20,460 --> 00:38:26,320
They're developing the technology that the movie industry and the music industry should adopt.
1069
00:38:27,220 --> 00:38:27,620
Right?
1070
00:38:27,700 --> 00:38:31,900
This is the stuff that we're going to be using in a completely legal fashion at some point.
1071
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:33,300
Because somebody took the time to build it.
1072
00:38:33,300 --> 00:38:33,700
And they're going to build it now.
1073
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:34,240
Yeah.
1074
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:48,600
And so there needs to be a certain tip of the hat to them on that to say, well, listen, you guys are trailblazing as far as a technology that is going to make it a lot easier for everybody to get the content that they want.
1075
00:38:48,720 --> 00:38:50,420
And that is the main problem.
1076
00:38:50,600 --> 00:39:01,540
That's the reason that piracy really exists is because the delivery method is not good as far as the legitimate methods are concerned.
1077
00:39:01,720 --> 00:39:01,940
Right.
1078
00:39:02,240 --> 00:39:02,680
Right.
1079
00:39:03,300 --> 00:39:04,020
And so they're going to have to use Pandora.
1080
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:07,340
I mean, they're pretty successful.
1081
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:07,720
Right?
1082
00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:14,280
As far as they have a free service that you can pay a dollar a month for if you really want the extra or less commercials.
1083
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:14,840
Right.
1084
00:39:16,460 --> 00:39:18,420
And they were getting sued up front.
1085
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:18,920
Right?
1086
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:23,320
And they developed a technology that was pioneering at the time.
1087
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:29,660
And they don't have all the music that I like to listen to because I have a very eclectic taste in music.
1088
00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:30,280
Right.
1089
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:30,620
Right.
1090
00:39:30,620 --> 00:39:30,860
Right.
1091
00:39:30,860 --> 00:39:31,240
Right.
1092
00:39:31,240 --> 00:39:31,440
Right.
1093
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:33,240
Right.
1094
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:33,280
1095
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:33,280
1096
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:33,280
1097
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:33,280
1098
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:33,280
1099
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:33,280
1100
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:33,280
1101
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:33,280
1102
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:33,280
1103
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:33,280
1104
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:33,280
1105
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:33,280
1106
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:33,280
1107
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:33,280
1108
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:33,280
1109
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:33,280
1110
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:33,280
1111
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:33,280
1112
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:33,280
1113
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:33,280
1114
00:39:33,300 --> 00:39:33,420
And I like Grooveshark.
1115
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:34,880
Grooveshark is pretty awesome.
1116
00:39:34,980 --> 00:39:35,080
Yeah.
1117
00:39:35,140 --> 00:39:36,560
I like Grooveshark a lot, too.
1118
00:39:36,780 --> 00:39:37,120
Right.
1119
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:39,080
So there's lots of stuff that's out there.
1120
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:45,380
And maybe one of the articles we can get you to write this week is about different places to get different types of media.
1121
00:39:45,580 --> 00:39:46,360
I can do that.
1122
00:39:46,540 --> 00:39:50,920
Oh, and by the way, Tara is sort of in charge of social media now.
1123
00:39:51,140 --> 00:39:51,540
Woo-hoo!
1124
00:39:51,660 --> 00:39:52,860
That's sort of her gig.
1125
00:39:53,140 --> 00:39:53,600
Go me!
1126
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:54,060
Right.
1127
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:59,600
So she's going to be writing articles, as well as Rob, myself, for the Guru Show site.
1128
00:39:59,880 --> 00:40:00,980
So they'll be on Facebook.
1129
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:03,280
You should like the Computer Guru Radio Show.
1130
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:09,300
If you want to get updates as far as the stuff that we're generating and creating.
1131
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:13,880
We want to be able to provide as much information as possible.
1132
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:14,880
That's what this show is about.
1133
00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:20,960
And even though I only have an hour to do it, we try to cram a bunch of information in here to keep you safe.
1134
00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:22,580
Knowledge is power.
1135
00:40:23,140 --> 00:40:23,540
Yeah.
1136
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:24,920
As long as it's still allowed.
1137
00:40:25,220 --> 00:40:25,560
Yeah.
1138
00:40:25,660 --> 00:40:26,060
Exactly.
1139
00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:27,380
So we've got to hurry.
1140
00:40:27,540 --> 00:40:27,880
Right.
1141
00:40:27,940 --> 00:40:33,000
And one of the things that we do teach, and I recommend that everybody come down and at
1142
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:37,420
least take it once, is the internet safety class that we offer.
1143
00:40:37,540 --> 00:40:39,520
It's how to keep yourself safe online.
1144
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:48,580
There are ways, using very simple little tweaks, that either you yourself, as far as how you
1145
00:40:48,580 --> 00:40:53,540
use the internet, or very small changes that you can make to your computer, that will reduce
1146
00:40:53,540 --> 00:41:00,140
your likelihood of getting an infection or falling for a phishing attack by just infinite
1147
00:41:00,140 --> 00:41:00,460
degrees.
1148
00:41:00,740 --> 00:41:00,980
Right.
1149
00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:02,320
As far as you will be.
1150
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:03,660
It's going to be so much safer online.
1151
00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:10,100
Now, on one of my machines, my primary machine in the car that I use all day long, I don't
1152
00:41:10,100 --> 00:41:11,040
even have antivirus on there.
1153
00:41:11,140 --> 00:41:11,540
Right.
1154
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:12,140
I don't need it.
1155
00:41:12,240 --> 00:41:12,640
Right.
1156
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:20,200
Because I utilize some very unconventional ways of using the internet and configuring
1157
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:22,280
the machine in such a way that I just don't get them.
1158
00:41:22,380 --> 00:41:26,920
And even if I were, right, it would be very easy to remove because of that configuration.
1159
00:41:27,260 --> 00:41:27,560
Right.
1160
00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:29,760
So, you know, come down and take the class.
1161
00:41:29,940 --> 00:41:31,620
It will save you a bunch of money.
1162
00:41:31,720 --> 00:41:32,120
Right.
1163
00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:35,860
And a lot of times we get people in after they've brought their machine into the shop.
1164
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:37,340
They're like, I've got this nasty infection.
1165
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:40,660
And we're like, okay, that'll be $150 to clean it.
1166
00:41:40,860 --> 00:41:46,240
Or you could have spent $25 to come down and sit with me for two hours and I teach you
1167
00:41:46,240 --> 00:41:46,620
about it.
1168
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:48,620
Once again, knowledge is power.
1169
00:41:48,780 --> 00:41:48,980
Right.
1170
00:41:49,020 --> 00:41:50,740
And knowledge is money saving.
1171
00:41:50,860 --> 00:41:51,120
Yes.
1172
00:41:51,260 --> 00:41:51,360
Right.
1173
00:41:51,660 --> 00:41:54,000
Knowledge is dollars still in your wallet.
1174
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:55,880
So sign up for the classes.
1175
00:41:55,900 --> 00:41:59,660
You can go to azcomputerguru.com in the classes section and sign up for those.
1176
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:02,100
And we're also going to do a Guru.
1177
00:42:02,100 --> 00:42:03,160
Guru Unleashed next week.
1178
00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:06,940
And I didn't ask you about it, but if you want to show up for that.
1179
00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:12,920
Basically, it is sort of this show, right, but in person.
1180
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:13,500
Oh, okay.
1181
00:42:13,500 --> 00:42:17,120
Where you get to ask things that we can't normally answer on the air.
1182
00:42:17,860 --> 00:42:19,140
That includes gaming.
1183
00:42:19,500 --> 00:42:19,720
Right.
1184
00:42:19,740 --> 00:42:23,960
Gaming, cord cutting, which is a big one that we always get because I will not talk about
1185
00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:26,060
the actual specifics of cord cutting on air.
1186
00:42:26,420 --> 00:42:30,820
But there is some very cool information in that.
1187
00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:32,080
And you get an opportunity just to come down.
1188
00:42:32,100 --> 00:42:32,720
Hang out with us.
1189
00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:33,780
Ask us anything you want.
1190
00:42:33,940 --> 00:42:36,360
And it doesn't have the one hour time limit.
1191
00:42:36,500 --> 00:42:37,800
We're going to do that next Saturday.
1192
00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:44,000
So if you want to show up for Guru Unleashed, it's also in the classes section on the website.
1193
00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:45,660
So azcomputerguru.com.
1194
00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:46,280
Check that out.
1195
00:42:46,720 --> 00:42:48,200
Once again, our specials for the week.
1196
00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:49,620
$20 off per hour.
1197
00:42:49,740 --> 00:42:51,500
So $55 an hour for in-shop labor.
1198
00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:56,240
If you mention that you heard it on the show or you happen to have this week's newsletter.
1199
00:42:56,460 --> 00:42:58,680
And if you don't, you can send us an email.
1200
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:00,740
Radio at azcomputerguru.com.
1201
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:02,080
And we'll even send you the Q&A.
1202
00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:03,940
And then that way you can bring it in with you.
1203
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:11,520
And we're going to offer for this particular week half off of web development for this upcoming week.
1204
00:43:11,700 --> 00:43:14,020
So I think that's a good idea.
1205
00:43:14,240 --> 00:43:15,000
It's a good deal.
1206
00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:15,360
Right.
1207
00:43:15,500 --> 00:43:17,140
So what do we got?
1208
00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:17,980
Like six minutes left.
1209
00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:20,540
You can give us a call at 790-2040.
1210
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:24,660
And we'll see if we can quickly stuff an answer in.
1211
00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:28,880
But I don't know if anybody's going to have time to do it just because I was wrong.
1212
00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:29,920
We only have three minutes left.
1213
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:30,540
So four.
1214
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:33,860
What was I going to talk about?
1215
00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:36,420
There was something on my list and I closed it.
1216
00:43:37,380 --> 00:43:38,380
Oh, shame on you.
1217
00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:38,740
I know.
1218
00:43:38,780 --> 00:43:39,340
That's terrible.
1219
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:42,540
And now there's a chat bubble in my way.
1220
00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:44,200
I can't even click on the link I wanted to click on.
1221
00:43:45,180 --> 00:43:45,780
All right.
1222
00:43:45,980 --> 00:43:46,980
Got to love the internet.
1223
00:43:47,340 --> 00:43:48,480
How about more scary stuff?
1224
00:43:49,300 --> 00:43:49,700
Okay.
1225
00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:50,120
All right.
1226
00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:54,760
So this company has developed a drone, right?
1227
00:43:54,900 --> 00:43:56,120
You know those flying drones?
1228
00:43:56,220 --> 00:43:57,160
Oh, yeah.
1229
00:43:57,240 --> 00:43:57,940
I know drones.
1230
00:43:57,940 --> 00:43:58,500
Multi-bladed helicopters?
1231
00:43:59,160 --> 00:43:59,420
Yes.
1232
00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:00,760
Well, this one's pretty interesting.
1233
00:44:00,820 --> 00:44:01,460
It gets activated.
1234
00:44:01,460 --> 00:44:08,180
It gets activated when your house alarm goes off and it will find the perpetrator in your house.
1235
00:44:08,340 --> 00:44:12,720
And when it does, it sends you a picture and it asks you what do you want to do with them.
1236
00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:13,800
And you get to hit a button.
1237
00:44:14,260 --> 00:44:15,080
What's the button?
1238
00:44:15,220 --> 00:44:16,340
I want to know what the button is.
1239
00:44:16,340 --> 00:44:16,880
There's a couple of buttons.
1240
00:44:16,940 --> 00:44:21,020
One of them is like just maintain, just follow them around.
1241
00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:22,900
The other one is detain.
1242
00:44:23,900 --> 00:44:28,720
Now, first of all, you've got an eight-bladed helicopter that's flying around near you.
1243
00:44:28,940 --> 00:44:30,400
Does it have tiny little handcuffs?
1244
00:44:30,660 --> 00:44:30,980
No.
1245
00:44:31,460 --> 00:44:35,080
It has a stun gun built into it and it will tase your butt.
1246
00:44:35,260 --> 00:44:36,340
I want one.
1247
00:44:36,420 --> 00:44:39,300
And then it will make sure that you do not move.
1248
00:44:39,740 --> 00:44:40,940
Oh, I want one.
1249
00:44:40,940 --> 00:44:41,080
It's so bad.
1250
00:44:41,080 --> 00:44:44,660
And so basically, if you try to get up and run away, it tases you again.
1251
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:46,000
That would be awesome.
1252
00:44:46,420 --> 00:44:47,820
And it calls the cops.
1253
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:50,280
I can't wait for the YouTube videos of these.
1254
00:44:50,700 --> 00:44:53,240
There are a couple of YouTube videos of it in training.
1255
00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:54,080
What's it cost?
1256
00:44:54,860 --> 00:44:55,660
You know, I don't know.
1257
00:44:55,680 --> 00:44:56,620
They didn't put a cost on it.
1258
00:44:56,620 --> 00:44:57,260
I don't even care.
1259
00:44:57,700 --> 00:44:58,100
Yeah.
1260
00:44:58,140 --> 00:44:58,540
Right?
1261
00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:00,740
I think it's a great idea.
1262
00:45:01,580 --> 00:45:03,740
I think it's slightly terrifying, though.
1263
00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:06,100
How many of those do you think Facebook could have bought?
1264
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:08,340
With $15 billion?
1265
00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:09,520
Yeah, $16 billion.
1266
00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:10,180
$16 billion.
1267
00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:11,820
Quite a few.
1268
00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:14,540
The Facebook drones.
1269
00:45:14,860 --> 00:45:18,660
You know, it used to be that you could just carry around a stake to distract the German shepherd.
1270
00:45:18,820 --> 00:45:19,040
Yeah.
1271
00:45:19,100 --> 00:45:23,500
What are you going to do when you've got a multi-bladed helicopter with a stun gun chasing you?
1272
00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:27,800
It's terrifying, right?
1273
00:45:29,780 --> 00:45:30,220
Wow.
1274
00:45:30,520 --> 00:45:30,540
Wow.
1275
00:45:30,820 --> 00:45:31,260
Wow.
1276
00:45:31,260 --> 00:45:31,440
Wow.
1277
00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:31,440
1278
00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:31,440
1279
00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:31,440
1280
00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:31,440
1281
00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:31,440
1282
00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:31,440
1283
00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:31,440
1284
00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:31,440
1285
00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:31,440
1286
00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:31,440
1287
00:45:31,460 --> 00:45:32,420
Wait for the YouTube video.
1288
00:45:32,920 --> 00:45:37,000
The thing is, is I'm so torn about it because I'm like, wow, that's really scary, but I want one.
1289
00:45:38,220 --> 00:45:38,620
Yeah.
1290
00:45:38,980 --> 00:45:41,740
But one of these days, right, something's going to happen.
1291
00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:43,800
There's going to be an infection, right, that comes out.
1292
00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:47,340
For a more update for a helicopter, it chases its owners down and stuns them.
1293
00:45:47,700 --> 00:45:48,500
Oh, yeah.
1294
00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:49,800
I didn't even think about that.
1295
00:45:50,540 --> 00:45:52,860
Or all the helicopters are like, humans?
1296
00:45:53,120 --> 00:45:53,460
Really?
1297
00:45:53,700 --> 00:45:54,860
That'd make a good Twilight Zone.
1298
00:45:56,960 --> 00:45:59,560
It's the latest Hollywood blockbuster.
1299
00:45:59,840 --> 00:46:00,400
Well, this...
1300
00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:01,280
They're even...
1301
00:46:01,280 --> 00:46:02,340
They're even selling drones on parades.
1302
00:46:02,340 --> 00:46:04,760
They're even selling those drones at Verizon.
1303
00:46:05,100 --> 00:46:05,540
Mm-hmm.
1304
00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:05,820
Right?
1305
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:07,160
They're kind of cool.
1306
00:46:07,340 --> 00:46:08,100
They really are.
1307
00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:09,640
Probably get the little GoPro camera.
1308
00:46:09,860 --> 00:46:10,260
Right.
1309
00:46:10,260 --> 00:46:10,800
Pop it on there.
1310
00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:10,960
Get some really good footage.
1311
00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:12,340
Well, they have cameras built in.
1312
00:46:12,440 --> 00:46:15,320
I have a friend that does it, and he's got some really great footage.
1313
00:46:15,700 --> 00:46:16,100
Yeah.
1314
00:46:16,240 --> 00:46:18,400
Well, I want the footage of him stunning somebody.
1315
00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:19,240
Yeah, there you go.
1316
00:46:19,300 --> 00:46:20,320
Put a stun gun on there.
1317
00:46:20,340 --> 00:46:20,960
I'll have to tell him about it.
1318
00:46:21,580 --> 00:46:29,240
And the other thing that I saw that was kind of interesting is that somebody is loading shotgun shells with plant seed.
1319
00:46:29,720 --> 00:46:31,160
And basically, you go out...
1320
00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:32,940
Just go out and shoot the ground, I guess.
1321
00:46:33,060 --> 00:46:38,100
It's for when you're out doing shotgun-type things, like trap and skeet.
1322
00:46:38,180 --> 00:46:38,540
Okay.
1323
00:46:38,540 --> 00:46:38,800
All right?
1324
00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:41,260
You're planting flowers every time you pull the trigger.
1325
00:46:41,380 --> 00:46:42,860
Oh, well, that's a green idea.
1326
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:44,500
It's rather green, isn't it?
1327
00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:44,900
Yes.
1328
00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:45,660
All right.
1329
00:46:45,720 --> 00:46:47,200
So, thanks for listening to the show this week.
1330
00:46:47,260 --> 00:46:48,000
We really appreciate it.
1331
00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:52,500
Give us a call down at the shop at 304-8300, or come see us at 1st and Fort Lowell.
1332
00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:54,100
That's 510 East Fort Lowell.
1333
00:46:54,620 --> 00:46:58,120
We'll be very happy to take care of whatever technology issues are ailing you.
1334
00:46:58,240 --> 00:47:00,620
In the meantime, we'll see you next week.
1335
00:47:00,640 --> 00:47:01,260
And things will be great.
1336
00:47:01,260 --> 00:47:01,260
1337
00:47:01,260 --> 00:47:01,260
1338
00:47:01,280 --> 00:47:01,900
Things will be better, I hope.
1339
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:02,740
I hope so.
1340
00:47:05,760 --> 00:47:20,440
I hope so.
