coast to coast on the USA RadioNetwork. Hello, good evening,

we got the band back together.Jesse is the US to be with us

but hopefully we'll have him down thepipe opening. It was great. Yeah,
it took me a while to matchtacktogether with all of the technical snaff
foods that were having back Mick,so I'll be able to do that.
(03:19):
But anyway, here we are.So um, I'm mc williams. This
is mc williams Cyberline, and I'mvideo Bob. Yeah, and as you
would call or maybe not those ofyou probably tuning in on the stations on
the network as well as the peopleand tune in listening to us off of
our flagship here in Dallas k BDTeleven sixty am. Some thing's happened with
(03:44):
the old network. I won't goin a great detail, but basically the
doors were locked and that was that. And so now a new owner of
the network is here and I gotsome people I need to thank too.
First off, I got to thankJanet bro for help us get here.
Charlie Jones and I if you've beenlistening to Charlie, I know some of
you are holdovers from the tech showthat we do on Thursdays. I got
(04:09):
Charlie and I worked out a dealto come over here, and of course
Charlie's here and this is the timewhere I'm coming in, so I gotta
thank Janet for that. I gottathank my Gov. Jady Wells, general
manager of eleven sixty here, forhelping us put everything together. And most
of all, I got to saythank you to the Admiral Fred Weinberg,
(04:30):
the owner of the network or givingthe chance for us to come back.
And I guess we're sort of alegacy branch between the old and the new,
and hopefully you will enjoy what youhear. And of course also got
to thank Charlie because honestly, Ihad no plan of coming back. I
was working on getting Charlie in andCharlie convinced me to sit in the chair
(04:54):
one more time. So thank you. Jones Boyle don't know if he's listening
because this is the time he normallyhangs with the family, but he can
catch him on repeating everybody else hadmissed it. And of course Bob.
Bob's been with us for a longtime, back to the WBAP days.
It's been a lot of fun.Yeah, yeah, So that goes back
twenty two years. That's been quitea while. Nineteen ninety five, December
(05:18):
second was the twenty second year.I think I still have my robot.
I have two and they still work. Yes, yes, and I have
and I have the Loss of Spaceone from the movie too that came along
with all that was a pretty coolThat was a pretty cool toy, pretty
kind of a robot, you know, not bad, had all the nice
little voice that that the original Yeah, yeah, that the original robot hat.
(05:41):
And we we did our stintover BAP. Were originally started a case Guy
down the Road which is now controlledby one of our competitors, which will
remain nameless, but we moved thereto WBAP, and then in two thousands
started syndicating with the old USA Radioand been here up until the mishap happened,
and we kind of went into whatwe might say or the cyberline wilderness
(06:04):
years, or what I like tocall is Mickey's Lost Weekend part two.
So that's where I come in from. Now, come out of the cold
to think of it as a chrysalis, and now we've like sprouted our wings
chrysalis. Okay, good, Well, today is actually oh Christmas, so
happy Christmas. To me, thisis how I get started. But yeah,
(06:26):
we're gonna be talking about things wedid before. We're gonna be talking
about things since a lot of thingshave changed since we last talked to you.
Cord cutting is a big thing now, oh yeah, talking, Oh
yeah, I got to be talkingabout cord cutting these little things. As
you know, I was starting upa thing called the mobile concierge at the
time that we left, and I'vebeen doing very well at it. So
(06:47):
we'll now be talking about phones.I get a chance to tonight, I
want to talk to you about insurance, you know, having your phone insured,
and why and why not you shouldand things you need to look out
for when you're doing insurance. Gotsome stuff from the news that we're going
to talk about that's been going onin also space. We might touch on
(07:09):
that a little bit. And tonightwe're gonna pay tribute to somebody who is
a long time member of the Cyberlinefamily but sadly no longer with us,
and so we're going to talk aboutthem tonight and give them a little bit
of time in our roundtable discussion tonight. And that's basically it. So here's
(07:30):
what you're gonna do you've got questionsabout tech? You got questions about us,
some of you guys, like Isaid, listen to us during you
know, the third Thursy and months. But Charlie and maybe you want to
get a little more in it's eightfour four nine two seven six six nine
one eight four four nine two sevensix six nine one and we'd love to
have you on and be able totalk. So, Bob, since a
(07:55):
lot of them haven't heard you ina while, what's been going on you?
What's been going on with me?I'll tell you what Ben. You
know, I'm always I'm an activedeveloper, develop on the front end,
do a lot of web work anddevelop web applications. I bounced around from
developing web applications on TVs to cellphones or just a desktops in general,
(08:18):
doing a lot of work. There'sa lot of fun, a lot of
cutting edge stuff. And plus,you know, the more research you do,
the more you find out that thesephones are amazing. The web interfaces,
now, what they allow you todo, it's like you're almost at
it. You've got a native application. They're very powerful, strong stuff.
They remember when the androids first cameout and the first thing they told us
(08:41):
was, oh, you know,you can do all this stuff with just
so little code than what you wereable to do before. And every time
I turn around, I see somethingthat come along, like, well,
we're gonna update you to the nextversion, but we want like three hundred
and nineteen megabytes versus the twenty sixthat we used to get from you.
And Facebook is the worst culprit.And now that they've split it and Messenger,
they're like, oh, well,we wanted to take up twice your
(09:03):
space and that drives me nuts.And in half of me you can.
You're supposed to be able to putthem onto the to the storage card right
to save up space, and alot of them like, no, the
author has decided not to give youthis privilege, boy, And I'm like,
well, the author here, theowner has decided you are going to
get deleted, Arthur, and thenI'm going to move one and on something
better with less space. And sothat's been even in today's world, it's
(09:26):
been a bit of a tugging pullwith apps and taking them space. Oh
yeah, and you know nowadays,I what is nice though, is that
the usually the minimum phone nowadays thatyou can get, they are powerful enough
to run most apps, but yougotta get enough memory on them. You
know. As long as you getas long as you get jumped into the
(09:48):
three gigabyte range, just for thejust for the RAM, you're you're going
to have a decent phone. Youhave just two, you're going to run
out pretty quick. So yeah,and I've I've gotten smart finally and decided
to get a phone that has morememory. And to me, I don't
want to go Apple because I know, I think the highest they have is
(10:09):
two hundred and fifty six gigabytes.But I'm like, man, all the
memory I can get. And ofcourse I'm now running I never thought i'd
see this when I when we left, I was running thirty two gigabyte storage
card. I now have one hundredand twenty eight nice and I have like
five twenty eight and they're like veryaffordable now they are. You know,
(10:33):
you can get one hundred and twentyeight gig card for about forty dollars now
now that's on sale. You gotto look for that for that deal otherwise
gonna cost you you know, stillgonna be under sixty so not bad,
you know. The Also, Igot a twenty gig card just recently for
twenty dollars. It was awesome.I love to get a deal like that.
(10:56):
So a lot better and a lotcheaper on the cards nowadays, and
thanks to Amazon and Walmart and alot of places, you can go to
price grabber dot com and put inthe type of cards you get. Like
a lot of times, I liketo go with Samsungs. And the reason
that is is it seems to bethey do all of these tests and the
cards to see, well what cards. They'll send you a list if you
look at places you buy your phonesand stuff, they'll have a list.
(11:16):
Itses. These are the cards thatwe've tested, and these are the cards
that we recommended nine ten times atSamsum and they've had some pretty decent prices
across the board. If you useprice grabber dot com and find a good
price on what you're looking for.Right, I do two things now.
One thing on my phone. Now, I've got one requirement that I've got
to have I P sixty eight Andwhat that is is it's a waterproofing what
(11:41):
do you call it a standard?A waterproofing standard? Yeah, yeah,
basically my phone now it's it's itcan be under I P. Sixty seven
I believe is you can have itunder your phone under the water for thirty
minutes at one meter and you shouldbe okay. Now, you don't want
to leave it under there. It'snot something you want to do for a
lot, but you should be okay. And then the I P sixty seven
(12:03):
I believe is you can do ameter and a half or thirty minutes.
So point is is that, Yeah, I destroyed a phone not you know,
about a year or two ago,I went out running and when I
went out running, it was raininga little bit. I got back and
it just did not take that muchwater to just destroy my phone. And
(12:28):
that was it. After that,I was going, I'm just gonna start
buying cheap phones from now on.And then they started coming out with these,
you know, water I think they'recalled water resistance standards. Resistant,
right, I gotta get the lawyersinvolved, yep. But it's a lot
better to have a phone like thisthat I can at least get it somewhat
(12:48):
wet and not worry about because I'mnot really worried about I'm really not worried
about leaving it under the water forat a meter for a half hour.
Go scuba diving with right. Ijust want to get it out there where
if I go running again, I'mnot going to have the problem of not
going to have the problem of gettingit just a little bit wet and then
all of a sudden it just dies. And and the other thing that you
(13:11):
have to watch out for, especiallyin Texas, condensation. That's the big
problem because you'll walk into a hotcar and it'll heat up the air,
and then you walk into a coldbuilding and all of a sudden the air
now becomes water inside the phone.And then to wonder why it shorts out
and the liquid damage indicator turned likeI never had it near water. It's
like, well, yeah, you'vegotta have air conditioning in the car to
balance it out, because a lotof people you know have air condition but
(13:33):
there's something that don't and don't realizescience. We'll take out your phone,
all right, we're gonna take abreak. I'd love to hear from you.
If you're listening eight four four ninetwo seven sixty six nine one you're
listening with williams Cyberline, We'll beright back game Sarmerlan with you. Welcome
(14:13):
back kids. The hatches open eightfour four nine, two seven, six,
six nine one. As you know, we've been gone a while and
a lot of things have changed fromthe time that we started the Wilderness years,
so we want to go back andtalk about some things that we hadn't
(14:35):
had a chance to talk about.And one of the two things talking about
cord cutting. And cord cutting waskind of just starting about the time that
we left. And boy, hasit exploded. Yes it has. So
I am, of course a Rokuperson. I got my first one in
twenty twelve. Rokuroku come on AmazonFire TV. There you go. Well,
(14:58):
we're gonna we're gonna talk about both, okay, and what's great about
them now one of the things I'mkind of looking at now and I'm gonna
have a review on later. Asyou know most of you who have listened
to me on Charlie's show about it. This time a year ago we had
Alexa the Echo Dot on with usand had a ball live on the air
with it. There you go andblew Charlie's mind. What that thing can
(15:20):
tell us the weather in Youngstown,Ohio? Yes it can, And so
I've been I've been enjoying it.But now you're starting to see them,
and also the Google Home systems startingto incorporate with the different products that are
out there. They sure are.And of course you've got the firestick,
right, I got the I've gotthe actual fire TV and okay, fire
(15:41):
TV now, and are you usingit with with Echo and Alexa and all
that. Yeah, we do havean uh an Alexa tap and that's the
one. Yeah, yeah, yougotta, you gotta. We love that
one because it's got a battery init, right, and you can take
it around and you don't you don'thave to worry about it, or you
just take around from room to roomwherever you want to go and listen to
(16:03):
music. So it's awesome. Andthose things were pretty expensive when they first
came out until the dots showed up. I think they've dropped down to about
adiot. I think they've dropped eightydollars, but that was on sale.
They might be a bit more now. Yeah. And I was eyeball on
the tap and then Geezer said,hey, let me send you something,
and lo and behold was an Echodot in my mailbox. And I said
(16:25):
to myself, as you know,I'm still thinking about the tap because I
don't want to have a rechargeable battery. Pick it up and move it around
the house, especially outside. Youknow it shows in the in the commercial
where you can tell it to turnthe lights on and off while sitting out
on the patio. Sure. Now, one neat thing about one interesting thing
about the tap. When it firstcame out, you had to push the
(16:45):
button. If you did not pushthe button, you weren't able to talk
to it. And that was kindof a nice feature that, you know,
you felt like you were more secure. Now it's a soft button,
so you can program in any wayyou want. Dan guess what they did.
So now you can go back inwith your phone, you connect up
to it, you tell it,okay, I don't want you to make
(17:07):
me hit the button anymore. Iwant you to listen all the time,
just like the dot. Right,and it'll do that. And I didn't
know about the Dot that I havethe second generation of Dot, And there
was actually a first generation and ithad a dial like an old school volume
control on a radio, almost looklike a transistor radio. And that's how
you turn the volume up and down. And then the new one has just
(17:27):
the up and you know, thelittle buttons for up and down, and
then you have a button I thinkto tap it if you want to talk
to it or have it yes,and then to me when when the ring
is orange, you can do whateveryou want, because that means it ain't
listening. Suppose supposedly, sure it'snot. And that's a whole other thing
(17:48):
altogether. There is that is listeningto me. You always got to wonder
that. Yeah, I'll trust them. I mean, we've got all those
agree but nowadays, with all theseagreements you sign, you don't know if
it says something like we're listening toanyway, well they're listening if they're don't.
I don't know about everybody else,but I'll be honest with me,
if it's listening to me, it'sthe most boringest day for for Alexa because
(18:11):
I don't talk around it that much. I'm basically barking out radio stations.
You know. I'll say, tunein this, tune in that, and
and all of that, and it'slike, you know, great, you
want to look up what I haveto say? Oh look, I looked
at the weather report. There's twentydifferent stations. Oh look, I'm listening
to a station in England, youknow, And then of course WKB in
and Youngstown. I love because Ican listen to it from the Dot without
(18:37):
having to have the radio. Youknow, I used to listen to it
off the phone. You had tohave it plugged in and everything else.
And that's another thing. You're talkingabout the tap having the built in battery,
and you're thinking, well, Imight go over to the tab.
Well, guess what if you're ina second generation Dot? My gosh,
the accessories there are. They havea rechargeable battery pack. Ah, it's
(18:59):
running about. I've seen different ones. They run between ten dollars fifteen dollars,
And it's a case combination and actuallyhas a zipperd case that you put
it in. It sits on topand then little wire comes out, plugs
in the back and you can takeit with you and travel. I actually
take mine in the hotel rooms.Oh. I've actually had it hooked up
to the Wi Fi in the hoteland I started listening to I think it
(19:21):
was I was last year? Wasit June? I went I went to
Arkansas to see doc. How's thespeaker quality on that? Speaker quality is
good now, they tell you.And this is something I don't understand it's
got a place to plug in speakersbecause you know, the tap and the
other have speakers. And well,we'll talk more about that when we come
back. All Right, we're gonnatake a break and we're gonna play a
(19:41):
little something for you that you guyshave been requesting. We'll be right back.
Even the nicest neighborhood can be spoiledby neighbors. It's no good to
(20:06):
complain. It will still go onday after day, week after week.
At NNS, we know people arejust no damn good. Are you mad?
Are you really mad? That it'stime for you to call us today
and learn about n NS neighborhoods.The periority not an important, not an
(20:36):
over the counter joy or an unreliableterrorist imitation. The NNS system is made
here in America, my Americans,for Americans, and by producing millions of
them, we pass the savings onto you. For any sized target from
something as big as a city blockcan do something as small as a doghouse.
I called inns, and they reallyhelped by inflaming my natural paranoia and
(20:56):
reinforcing my territorial imperative. And youknow what, this tactical nuclear warhead just
attached to my garden host with ordinaryhand tools. Oh jeez, now you
don't want to drop one of thesebabies. Thank you folks at NNS.
That's right. The courteous, helpfulfolks at NNS have the weapon that's right
for your family, not available inany store. Call today and learn more
(21:19):
about this amazing system. Isn't theresomeone you know who deserves neighborhood nuclear subperiority?
Okay, I was expecting to hearsome music, but that's all right,
bad, It's okay. I thinkhe wanted to be recognized. Oh
(21:40):
okay, that's that's Chris Wrenn onour board over there, Phoenix. But
that was that was my fault.No problems anyway. Welcome to Cyril.
End by the way, eight fourfour nine two seven six six nine one.
Before we get to our first callreal quick, we were talking about
the echo dot in the battery andyou can hook that up and like I
said, i'd take it to hotelrooms and be able to listen to everything
(22:03):
and anything. And when we werejust starting to come here to the network
and kind of feeling things out,I was actually listening to classic radio theater
off the dot in Canada, Arkansasin a holiday inn. And that is
a show that we have here onthe network as well. White Cocks out
there and about it doing some greatI don't know how he cleans up the
(22:25):
audio from the days of yesteryear,but my gosh, is wonderful. So
you get a chance to listen tothat show it's on your station, definitely
do it right. But I've beenlooking at all sorts of different different things
to add to it. And I'vegot a three switch plate that controls the
lights in the kitchen and into theoffice, and I didn't think that they
(22:45):
would make one, But you canget these switches now that run off the
Wi Fi and you can tell thedot or any of them on how to
flip the switches and turn the lightson and off voice command. You know,
they do have some great products outthere right now, and yeah,
lighting is one of them, andI do want to use that. But
no, I really have not gottenpast the fact that I can listen to
(23:06):
music on you know, the typeof music I listen like to listen to.
I just tell, you know,play my standard set or play music
like that, and it does it. Yeah, and it's wonderful. Well,
take it around and listen to itall over. Yeah, it does
that, and I'm able to keepup. I have a little daily briefing
that comes up in the morning andI listen to CNBC and what's going on
the stocks and everything. And guesswhat, you know that a little sucker
(23:29):
can do math. Oh. Iwas doing a spreadsheet and instead of having
to put it in a calculator,I'd tell it, you know, what's
what's forty percent of ten thousand,and she come back ten thousand is I'm
like, oh my gosh, thething does math. So I haven't sit
there checking my math work like likea math teacher whenever I'm doing spreadsheets and
stuff. Well, you know,we're getting closer and closer to that day
(23:52):
that we see on the Jetsons whenwe were kids, to where you just
sit there and talk and then thecomputers talk back to you. Well they
and they do. Oh yeah.Now they're not as smart as I want
them yet, but they're getting closerand they're getting smarter every day. Now.
There is a big controversy about thesekind of devices Siri and Alexa and
all these other Google Home and GoogleHome whatever they call it. And I
(24:14):
think Panasonic or Samsung is coming outwith one, but we'll talk about that
when they have more. But here'sthe big deal. Do you say please
or thank you to it? Notyet I've done that. I'll give it
a command to pick up a radiostation and I'll say, actually, I
said thank you to it myself,say Alexa, thank you, and it
goes. Don't mention it, orit will come and randomly pulls things out.
(24:36):
It's not just don't mention it allthe time. And I was curious
to do that. But my favoriteone is I'll be talking and normally I
stay off and I'll say shut up, and like clockwork, she's out,
and I'm like, I taught itto do that. There you go.
So some days I'll say off,and if i'm a really terse mood there's
(24:56):
something on or there's too much noiseor something, I'll just go Alexa up
right, and I will tell youI've used the Google Assistant. Have you
used that on your phone? Ihave not yet. It keeps popping up
when I'm trying to listen to stuffin the car, and I want to
kill it because it interrupts everything Ido. I haven't seen it. I
haven't had that issue with it,at least not yet. But one of
(25:18):
the things I like about it itseems to be much you know, it
seems to be very smart. Ihaven't challenged it versus the Alexa yet,
but that might be something that weneed to do. Well. I need
to figure out what I'm going todo is Syria now, because I went
out and bought a brand new iPadpro and my friend Sherry Celafia, if
she's listening, she's going to beshocked in a maze that I've not only
(25:42):
had bought an iPad, which I'vehad for some time, but I've bought
a newer one and a bigger one. And I love the one that I've
got. It was given to meas a gift. And the problem with
it is it's got sixteen gigabytes ofmemory. They up the software so much
that it can't do anything. Andyou want to update the app because oh
(26:06):
you need this OS so you know, oh you can't do that without as
much memory. Can't you believe that? I mean, I'm just I have
to chuckle. You're sitting there tellingme, you know, I understand,
but it's like you got sixteen gigand that's not enough for the software.
Yeah, they're they're back bigger.Back when I was you know, a
(26:27):
lot, you know, thirty yearsago, I had a guy tell me
that with a five megabyte hard disk, which was like external hard disk.
It was like, oh, hesays, that's more that's more dispace than
you'll ever use in a lifetime.And I'm like, going, really,
you know, and nowadays that's justnothing compared to what we're using nowadays.
(26:48):
It yeah, it's a the amountof dispace, and the price for it
is so incredibly inexpensive. It's wonderful. Well, you know, we we
used to complain about filling up aCD, which is six hundred forty megabytes,
and I think a DVD is nowbut four a double sided eight.
(27:08):
And now I have something that fitsin the size of my thumbnail stacks of
CDs and half that stack in DVDs, all on this little chip. And
that just blows my mind because it'ssitting in my phone, yep, a
nice little thumb drive and the sizeof those you know, the size of
(27:32):
that is it'sh gosh. I mean, the it's not even as big as
a sugar cube, but it's smaller. You know, smaller than that.
Just just amazing how small, howtiny these little micro SD cards are nowadays,
and they just go right inside thephones. Everybody's seen them, and
it's wonderful to have such a anice little unit. And in all of
(27:53):
our telephones have gotten so you know, compact. And that's and that's on
things I hate about Apple versus othersis you know, I run out of
space, it's like, oh,I move stuff over to a memory card.
I can do that in an Androidtablet, but I can't do it
an Apple tablet because for some reasonjobs it's like, Nope, nope,
I don't want to pay a roledefeat for a card. Nope, nope,
(28:15):
I'm not going to do it.That's where the cloud comes in.
Yeah, and that was another thing. I backed up that whole thing.
That's was it five gigabytes they giveyou for free and then they're like they
want you to buy more, Andthere was like fifty gigabytes, and I'm
sitting here thinking, oh god,that's going to cost too much. So
I finally looked into it. Youknow how much it costs for an additional
(28:36):
fifty gigabytes of cloud storage? Upthere? How much ninety nine cents a
month. Yeah, it blew meaway as it signed me up. Yeah,
and then iTunes now used to beyou'd hook it up to your computer
and you would back it up,which to me is very safe because I
got on a hard drive. IfI lose it, I could put it
onto a new one. Well,I go in to back it up.
(28:57):
It was moist, showy but lannishversion of it tunes. We don't do
dank no more. We just domusic. So you kind of have to
go to the clouds chucker, AndI'm just like, wait a minute,
I backed up all my stuff forhow long in this thing? Can I
even access it? No? Dandangchow bunkie. No, up to the
cloud you go. So I endedup having to take the little guy and
(29:22):
put everything up on the cloud.And I was amazed when I got it
down to the big one because there'sstuff I thought, like would tune in.
They have special files that are ina certain section of the of the
unit. You can't get to samewith the phones, and I figured,
oh, it ain't gonna back thoseup. Backed up everyone and I couldn't
find my post it notes, youknow, the little notes that you made
because I had tons of stuff ofnotes that I've done over the years.
(29:45):
Sure enough, it took it.It brought everything up, every every app
that I had except for two,and I think that's because they're not in
the app store anymore. Those twodidn't carry over, but everything else it
did. And it's wanting me togo to eleven dot two. And some
of the stuff is saying when Ieleven dot two, you ain't gonna use
(30:06):
this app, And I'm like,without me checking out what kind of things
you've done with eleven dot two,that'll screw me over. I'm not talking
to eleven dot two right now.Check back with me on Friday. So
I've looked and I saw some scarystuff about issues and I'm like, well,
have they patched it by now?That was a bit back. So
I've got to research that before Imove it up to eleven dot two.
(30:26):
Oh. It is handy to beable to you know, with cloud that's
out there, it's handy to beable to take something that's on one device
and then move it very easily overto another device. Yeah, and it
was. I was surprised at howeasy it was. But at the same
time, I just didn't want togo through and have it on the cloud.
Sure, And like I said,just like talking to Alexa, my
(30:48):
stuff is boring anyway, not likethey're going to find anything that's you know,
oh we got the goods on him. That's not the case. I
just like having it in a computerin the house so that if I need
to get to it, it's there. I'm used to having stuff in all
different rocks, you know, Iagree to I want to be able to
have everything on my own uh nassserver just just at my house and then
(31:11):
keep it there if it because thenit's mine, it's one of my you
know, it's it's in my house. I don't have to worry about someone
outside my house coming in. Butthen you get the whole issue where people,
you know, the hackers that mighttry to get into your and it's
gonna be boring life for a hackers. All this guy again. Yeah,
(31:32):
they're not going to find any nudepictures or anything in my hacks, so
they ain't happening. But that's that'sthe issue of being online. But I
do enjoy some of it, Likewhen we were at Carol d Charlie and
I were there and we do theTech Show. The guy that was running
the board had a dropbox, andso drop shows in there and then I'd
pick them up in the morning,and I had my archives and I chop
(31:53):
them up and put them on Facebookor whatever that I liked, and I
like having it now, Like tonight, Chris is running the board there in
Phoenix, and we were talking earliertoday about well, what are we gonna
play, what are we gonna puthere, what we're gonna put there?
And we have Google Drive, Ithink it is, and I'm doing all
(32:13):
my stuff, taking it, puttingmy computer, dropping it into a Google
Drive, and then of course hecomes in rabs my stuff and we go
through a preliminary checkout before the showand all of the music and everything is
there. We didn't have to attachit to twenty seven different emails, and
so yeah, for the convenience,it's not bad. And I do like
that. But my entire life upthere, sure, And the price is
(32:37):
right, Yeah, I like that. So you're talking eleven eighty eight a
year, yeah, and ninety ninecents a month, and I'm actually takes
it off and just says, wellwe both different nine cents, Thank you
very much, saying well, okay, I'll keep my stuff up there.
Okay, Well, we're gonna trysomething new. We're gonna answer a call
(32:58):
and it's either going to be itis either going to be on the air
or it's gonna scrape paint click,So we'll see which way this goes.
I think I figured this out thisfirst time. I've dealt with the comrades,
but generally I was I'm a Telo'sguy. But anyway, here's what
I do. We got a callfrom Round Rock, Texas, and Chris
(33:19):
is out there. Sounds familiar,doesn't it. Chris and Round Rock.
Let's see if this works. Chrisand Round Rock, are you there?
I am here, Mick whoa,Hello, it's Chris. Congratulations. Yeah,
congratulations for getting the show back up. Thank you so much. We're
turning you down a little bit rightnow. It's about with me just a
second. First time I vote onthe phones. But yeah, it's oh
(33:44):
that's much better. Thank you.So listening to us on tune in.
Actually I'm listening to you on myphone right at the moment, right,
but you're listening to the two Napper. Yeah, I finally located the so
you kept saying, oh you getthis streaming. Well, I went to
the radio station's website. Nope,that's not it. I got something else
(34:07):
on. There's a radio station websiteand we end that up yet for yeah,
okay, yeah, they're they're streamingsomething else completely. Oh okay,
that's probably network or something. ButI got the chat room up right.
(34:30):
Um, I'm trying to think howyou can send me the link so we
can we can get everybody in there. Uh, it's still on cyberdashline dot
com. That works. Okay,there you go. So you go to
cyberdashland dot com and click on chatand we're gonna try to get in there.

be able to do that. Yeah, okay, goodbye, just jumped on.
(35:16):
Here you go. So, um, been a while, So what
what's she been doing down there.Well you know I was with XI three.
Well, hang on, we gottatake a break and hold on,
hold on, I gotta take whatyou've been doing. Let's cut him different
different clock. Sorry about that,we got a whole different clock. Hang
(35:37):
on, we'll come right back toyou. Listen to micklam cyberon. We'll
be right back and talk with Chrisand catch up with him. Hold on,
(35:58):
come on, came a lot,camelot. It's only a model table
table. We changed all the season, a fucking big table. We dime
out here didn't come off well onesecond. Those Let's not get the camelot.
(36:24):
It is a silly place, right, okay, Greenings and welcome to
our two. At the end ofit, nob nine, it's the brown
tables of the wrong spot. Hey, first ship man shakedown cruise. Hey,
surprises everywhere. So that was herding ding over there, and uh,
(36:47):
we'll get we'll get it going anyway. Mc williams, cyrene with you
eight four four nine, two,seven, six six nine one our remaining
minutes, go back talking to Chrishere and give me just a ummle of
bringing him back up here we go, Cray still with us. I'm still
with you, all right? Soanyway, as I was saying, I
was catching up with you, andyou were talking about I three, So
(37:07):
go ahead and pick up from there. Yeah, I was well. I
was working for SISK Systems, whichhad become a subsidiary of x I three.
You remember the little small computers.Yeah, well they don't exist anymore.
They went into involuntary bankruptcy due toone person's spending m I won't get
(37:37):
into too much details, but alot of us were supposed to get all
kinds of bonuses and back pay,in my case, to the tune of
three hundred and six thousand dollars.Yeah, there was so little asset of
value. By the time they werefinished, we got nothing. And that's
(37:58):
sad. That was a nice littlebox, too tiny, and it was
pretty cool, so many things youcould do. And XI three actually owned
the patent that allowed the nook tobe made, the Intel Nook Wow,
and you know Intel was they hada licensing agreement. It was It was
(38:22):
a mess. So I went towork for a company called you an Electric.
Now, they were building a devicethat goes between your circuit breaker and
the circuit to your house that hada relay so you could turn it on
and off remotely, but it wouldalso read each individual circuits current and way
(38:46):
form signatures. Yeah, if youreally identify what was on there. Sure,
if you're trying to get a handleon exactly how much your energy you're
using and try to keep your energyusage low, I think it sounds like
an awesome way to go right.Well, there's a company called sense that
does that, but they just putit on the main the main inputs,
(39:07):
and they try to identify the devicein the house. We were taking it
all the way down to the singlecircuit level and one minute they lost their
funding in April. Okay, ohwell yeah, that's uh not good.
But boy, I can see howa product like that would be useful be
a lot of um. It wouldbe good just to keep you in charge
(39:30):
your house, just to know everythingthat's going on there. Well yeah,
and you could set up alerts.You know. Let's say just for example,
and this is based on something thatactually happened to somebody. I know,
You're sitting at work and suddenly yourphone beeps and you look down at
it and it says unusual power drawon the external outlet on your house.
(39:54):
In this case, yeah, Ihave. He had a neighbor hop over
the fence, plug into his electricalpower and plug in his electric lawnmower.
Well, Chris, we're gonna haveto wrap it up here because we're coming

we'll be hearing again from you soon. And take care and we'll hopefully hear

foods that were having back Mick,so I'll be able to do that.
(03:19):
But anyway, here we are.So um, I'm mc williams. This
is mc williams Cyberline, and I'mvideo Bob. Yeah, and as you
would call or maybe not those ofyou probably tuning in on the stations on
the network as well as the peopleand tune in listening to us off of
our flagship here in Dallas k BDTeleven sixty am. Some thing's happened with
(03:44):
the old network. I won't goin a great detail, but basically the
doors were locked and that was that. And so now a new owner of
the network is here and I gotsome people I need to thank too.
First off, I got to thankJanet bro for help us get here.
Charlie Jones and I if you've beenlistening to Charlie, I know some of
you are holdovers from the tech showthat we do on Thursdays. I got
(04:09):
Charlie and I worked out a dealto come over here, and of course
Charlie's here and this is the timewhere I'm coming in, so I gotta
thank Janet for that. I gottathank my Gov. Jady Wells, general
manager of eleven sixty here, forhelping us put everything together. And most
of all, I got to saythank you to the Admiral Fred Weinberg,
(04:30):
the owner of the network or givingthe chance for us to come back.
And I guess we're sort of alegacy branch between the old and the new,
and hopefully you will enjoy what youhear. And of course also got
to thank Charlie because honestly, Ihad no plan of coming back. I
was working on getting Charlie in andCharlie convinced me to sit in the chair
(04:54):
one more time. So thank you. Jones Boyle don't know if he's listening
because this is the time he normallyhangs with the family, but he can
catch him on repeating everybody else hadmissed it. And of course Bob.
Bob's been with us for a longtime, back to the WBAP days.
It's been a lot of fun.Yeah, yeah, So that goes back
twenty two years. That's been quitea while. Nineteen ninety five, December
(05:18):
second was the twenty second year.I think I still have my robot.
I have two and they still work. Yes, yes, and I have
and I have the Loss of Spaceone from the movie too that came along
with all that was a pretty coolThat was a pretty cool toy, pretty
kind of a robot, you know, not bad, had all the nice
little voice that that the original Yeah, yeah, that the original robot hat.
(05:41):
And we we did our stintover BAP. Were originally started a case Guy
down the Road which is now controlledby one of our competitors, which will
remain nameless, but we moved thereto WBAP, and then in two thousands
started syndicating with the old USA Radioand been here up until the mishap happened,
and we kind of went into whatwe might say or the cyberline wilderness
(06:04):
years, or what I like tocall is Mickey's Lost Weekend part two.
So that's where I come in from. Now, come out of the cold
to think of it as a chrysalis, and now we've like sprouted our wings
chrysalis. Okay, good, Well, today is actually oh Christmas, so
happy Christmas. To me, thisis how I get started. But yeah,
(06:26):
we're gonna be talking about things wedid before. We're gonna be talking
about things since a lot of thingshave changed since we last talked to you.
Cord cutting is a big thing now, oh yeah, talking, Oh
yeah, I got to be talkingabout cord cutting these little things. As
you know, I was starting upa thing called the mobile concierge at the
time that we left, and I'vebeen doing very well at it. So
(06:47):
we'll now be talking about phones.I get a chance to tonight, I
want to talk to you about insurance, you know, having your phone insured,
and why and why not you shouldand things you need to look out
for when you're doing insurance. Gotsome stuff from the news that we're going
to talk about that's been going onin also space. We might touch on
(07:09):
that a little bit. And tonightwe're gonna pay tribute to somebody who is
a long time member of the Cyberlinefamily but sadly no longer with us,
and so we're going to talk aboutthem tonight and give them a little bit
of time in our roundtable discussion tonight. And that's basically it. So here's
(07:30):
what you're gonna do you've got questionsabout tech? You got questions about us,
some of you guys, like Isaid, listen to us during you
know, the third Thursy and months. But Charlie and maybe you want to
get a little more in it's eightfour four nine two seven six six nine
one eight four four nine two sevensix six nine one and we'd love to
have you on and be able totalk. So, Bob, since a
(07:55):
lot of them haven't heard you ina while, what's been going on you?
What's been going on with me?I'll tell you what Ben. You
know, I'm always I'm an activedeveloper, develop on the front end,
do a lot of web work anddevelop web applications. I bounced around from
developing web applications on TVs to cellphones or just a desktops in general,
(08:18):
doing a lot of work. There'sa lot of fun, a lot of
cutting edge stuff. And plus,you know, the more research you do,
the more you find out that thesephones are amazing. The web interfaces,
now, what they allow you todo, it's like you're almost at
it. You've got a native application. They're very powerful, strong stuff.
They remember when the androids first cameout and the first thing they told us
(08:41):
was, oh, you know,you can do all this stuff with just
so little code than what you wereable to do before. And every time
I turn around, I see somethingthat come along, like, well,
we're gonna update you to the nextversion, but we want like three hundred
and nineteen megabytes versus the twenty sixthat we used to get from you.
And Facebook is the worst culprit.And now that they've split it and Messenger,
they're like, oh, well,we wanted to take up twice your
(09:03):
space and that drives me nuts.And in half of me you can.
You're supposed to be able to putthem onto the to the storage card right
to save up space, and alot of them like, no, the
author has decided not to give youthis privilege, boy, And I'm like,
well, the author here, theowner has decided you are going to
get deleted, Arthur, and thenI'm going to move one and on something
better with less space. And sothat's been even in today's world, it's
(09:26):
been a bit of a tugging pullwith apps and taking them space. Oh
yeah, and you know nowadays,I what is nice though, is that
the usually the minimum phone nowadays thatyou can get, they are powerful enough
to run most apps, but yougotta get enough memory on them. You
know. As long as you getas long as you get jumped into the
(09:48):
three gigabyte range, just for thejust for the RAM, you're you're going
to have a decent phone. Youhave just two, you're going to run
out pretty quick. So yeah,and I've I've gotten smart finally and decided
to get a phone that has morememory. And to me, I don't
want to go Apple because I know, I think the highest they have is
(10:09):
two hundred and fifty six gigabytes.But I'm like, man, all the
memory I can get. And ofcourse I'm now running I never thought i'd
see this when I when we left, I was running thirty two gigabyte storage
card. I now have one hundredand twenty eight nice and I have like
five twenty eight and they're like veryaffordable now they are. You know,
(10:33):
you can get one hundred and twentyeight gig card for about forty dollars now
now that's on sale. You gotto look for that for that deal otherwise
gonna cost you you know, stillgonna be under sixty so not bad,
you know. The Also, Igot a twenty gig card just recently for
twenty dollars. It was awesome.I love to get a deal like that.
(10:56):
So a lot better and a lotcheaper on the cards nowadays, and
thanks to Amazon and Walmart and alot of places, you can go to
price grabber dot com and put inthe type of cards you get. Like
a lot of times, I liketo go with Samsungs. And the reason
that is is it seems to bethey do all of these tests and the
cards to see, well what cards. They'll send you a list if you
look at places you buy your phonesand stuff, they'll have a list.
(11:16):
Itses. These are the cards thatwe've tested, and these are the cards
that we recommended nine ten times atSamsum and they've had some pretty decent prices
across the board. If you useprice grabber dot com and find a good
price on what you're looking for.Right, I do two things now.
One thing on my phone. Now, I've got one requirement that I've got
to have I P sixty eight Andwhat that is is it's a waterproofing what
(11:41):
do you call it a standard?A waterproofing standard? Yeah, yeah,
basically my phone now it's it's itcan be under I P. Sixty seven
I believe is you can have itunder your phone under the water for thirty
minutes at one meter and you shouldbe okay. Now, you don't want
to leave it under there. It'snot something you want to do for a
lot, but you should be okay. And then the I P sixty seven
(12:03):
I believe is you can do ameter and a half or thirty minutes.
So point is is that, Yeah, I destroyed a phone not you know,
about a year or two ago,I went out running and when I
went out running, it was raininga little bit. I got back and
it just did not take that muchwater to just destroy my phone. And
(12:28):
that was it. After that,I was going, I'm just gonna start
buying cheap phones from now on.And then they started coming out with these,
you know, water I think they'recalled water resistance standards. Resistant,
right, I gotta get the lawyersinvolved, yep. But it's a lot
better to have a phone like thisthat I can at least get it somewhat
(12:48):
wet and not worry about because I'mnot really worried about I'm really not worried
about leaving it under the water forat a meter for a half hour.
Go scuba diving with right. Ijust want to get it out there where
if I go running again, I'mnot going to have the problem of not
going to have the problem of gettingit just a little bit wet and then
all of a sudden it just dies. And and the other thing that you
(13:11):
have to watch out for, especiallyin Texas, condensation. That's the big
problem because you'll walk into a hotcar and it'll heat up the air,
and then you walk into a coldbuilding and all of a sudden the air
now becomes water inside the phone.And then to wonder why it shorts out
and the liquid damage indicator turned likeI never had it near water. It's
like, well, yeah, you'vegotta have air conditioning in the car to
balance it out, because a lotof people you know have air condition but
(13:33):
there's something that don't and don't realizescience. We'll take out your phone,
all right, we're gonna take abreak. I'd love to hear from you.
If you're listening eight four four ninetwo seven sixty six nine one you're
listening with williams Cyberline, We'll beright back game Sarmerlan with you. Welcome
(14:13):
back kids. The hatches open eightfour four nine, two seven, six,
six nine one. As you know, we've been gone a while and
a lot of things have changed fromthe time that we started the Wilderness years,
so we want to go back andtalk about some things that we hadn't
(14:35):
had a chance to talk about.And one of the two things talking about
cord cutting. And cord cutting waskind of just starting about the time that
we left. And boy, hasit exploded. Yes it has. So
I am, of course a Rokuperson. I got my first one in
twenty twelve. Rokuroku come on AmazonFire TV. There you go. Well,
(14:58):
we're gonna we're gonna talk about both, okay, and what's great about
them now one of the things I'mkind of looking at now and I'm gonna
have a review on later. Asyou know most of you who have listened
to me on Charlie's show about it. This time a year ago we had
Alexa the Echo Dot on with usand had a ball live on the air
with it. There you go andblew Charlie's mind. What that thing can
(15:20):
tell us the weather in Youngstown,Ohio? Yes it can, And so
I've been I've been enjoying it.But now you're starting to see them,
and also the Google Home systems startingto incorporate with the different products that are
out there. They sure are.And of course you've got the firestick,
right, I got the I've gotthe actual fire TV and okay, fire
(15:41):
TV now, and are you usingit with with Echo and Alexa and all
that. Yeah, we do havean uh an Alexa tap and that's the
one. Yeah, yeah, yougotta, you gotta. We love that
one because it's got a battery init, right, and you can take
it around and you don't you don'thave to worry about it, or you
just take around from room to roomwherever you want to go and listen to
(16:03):
music. So it's awesome. Andthose things were pretty expensive when they first
came out until the dots showed up. I think they've dropped down to about
adiot. I think they've dropped eightydollars, but that was on sale.
They might be a bit more now. Yeah. And I was eyeball on
the tap and then Geezer said,hey, let me send you something,
and lo and behold was an Echodot in my mailbox. And I said
(16:25):
to myself, as you know,I'm still thinking about the tap because I
don't want to have a rechargeable battery. Pick it up and move it around
the house, especially outside. Youknow it shows in the in the commercial
where you can tell it to turnthe lights on and off while sitting out
on the patio. Sure. Now, one neat thing about one interesting thing
about the tap. When it firstcame out, you had to push the
(16:45):
button. If you did not pushthe button, you weren't able to talk
to it. And that was kindof a nice feature that, you know,
you felt like you were more secure. Now it's a soft button,
so you can program in any wayyou want. Dan guess what they did.
So now you can go back inwith your phone, you connect up
to it, you tell it,okay, I don't want you to make
(17:07):
me hit the button anymore. Iwant you to listen all the time,
just like the dot. Right,and it'll do that. And I didn't
know about the Dot that I havethe second generation of Dot, And there
was actually a first generation and ithad a dial like an old school volume
control on a radio, almost looklike a transistor radio. And that's how
you turn the volume up and down. And then the new one has just
(17:27):
the up and you know, thelittle buttons for up and down, and
then you have a button I thinkto tap it if you want to talk
to it or have it yes,and then to me when when the ring
is orange, you can do whateveryou want, because that means it ain't
listening. Suppose supposedly, sure it'snot. And that's a whole other thing
(17:48):
altogether. There is that is listeningto me. You always got to wonder
that. Yeah, I'll trust them. I mean, we've got all those
agree but nowadays, with all theseagreements you sign, you don't know if
it says something like we're listening toanyway, well they're listening if they're don't.
I don't know about everybody else,but I'll be honest with me,
if it's listening to me, it'sthe most boringest day for for Alexa because
(18:11):
I don't talk around it that much. I'm basically barking out radio stations.
You know. I'll say, tunein this, tune in that, and
and all of that, and it'slike, you know, great, you
want to look up what I haveto say? Oh look, I looked
at the weather report. There's twentydifferent stations. Oh look, I'm listening
to a station in England, youknow, And then of course WKB in
and Youngstown. I love because Ican listen to it from the Dot without
(18:37):
having to have the radio. Youknow, I used to listen to it
off the phone. You had tohave it plugged in and everything else.
And that's another thing. You're talkingabout the tap having the built in battery,
and you're thinking, well, Imight go over to the tab.
Well, guess what if you're ina second generation Dot? My gosh,
the accessories there are. They havea rechargeable battery pack. Ah, it's
(18:59):
running about. I've seen different ones. They run between ten dollars fifteen dollars,
And it's a case combination and actuallyhas a zipperd case that you put
it in. It sits on topand then little wire comes out, plugs
in the back and you can takeit with you and travel. I actually
take mine in the hotel rooms.Oh. I've actually had it hooked up
to the Wi Fi in the hoteland I started listening to I think it
(19:21):
was I was last year? Wasit June? I went I went to
Arkansas to see doc. How's thespeaker quality on that? Speaker quality is
good now, they tell you.And this is something I don't understand it's
got a place to plug in speakersbecause you know, the tap and the
other have speakers. And well,we'll talk more about that when we come
back. All Right, we're gonnatake a break and we're gonna play a
(19:41):
little something for you that you guyshave been requesting. We'll be right back.
Even the nicest neighborhood can be spoiledby neighbors. It's no good to
(20:06):
complain. It will still go onday after day, week after week.
At NNS, we know people arejust no damn good. Are you mad?
Are you really mad? That it'stime for you to call us today
and learn about n NS neighborhoods.The periority not an important, not an
(20:36):
over the counter joy or an unreliableterrorist imitation. The NNS system is made
here in America, my Americans,for Americans, and by producing millions of
them, we pass the savings onto you. For any sized target from
something as big as a city blockcan do something as small as a doghouse.
I called inns, and they reallyhelped by inflaming my natural paranoia and
(20:56):
reinforcing my territorial imperative. And youknow what, this tactical nuclear warhead just
attached to my garden host with ordinaryhand tools. Oh jeez, now you
don't want to drop one of thesebabies. Thank you folks at NNS.
That's right. The courteous, helpfulfolks at NNS have the weapon that's right
for your family, not available inany store. Call today and learn more
(21:19):
about this amazing system. Isn't theresomeone you know who deserves neighborhood nuclear subperiority?
Okay, I was expecting to hearsome music, but that's all right,
bad, It's okay. I thinkhe wanted to be recognized. Oh
(21:40):
okay, that's that's Chris Wrenn onour board over there, Phoenix. But
that was that was my fault.No problems anyway. Welcome to Cyril.
End by the way, eight fourfour nine two seven six six nine one.
Before we get to our first callreal quick, we were talking about
the echo dot in the battery andyou can hook that up and like I
said, i'd take it to hotelrooms and be able to listen to everything
(22:03):
and anything. And when we werejust starting to come here to the network
and kind of feeling things out,I was actually listening to classic radio theater
off the dot in Canada, Arkansasin a holiday inn. And that is
a show that we have here onthe network as well. White Cocks out
there and about it doing some greatI don't know how he cleans up the
(22:25):
audio from the days of yesteryear,but my gosh, is wonderful. So
you get a chance to listen tothat show it's on your station, definitely
do it right. But I've beenlooking at all sorts of different different things
to add to it. And I'vegot a three switch plate that controls the
lights in the kitchen and into theoffice, and I didn't think that they
(22:45):
would make one, But you canget these switches now that run off the
Wi Fi and you can tell thedot or any of them on how to
flip the switches and turn the lightson and off voice command. You know,
they do have some great products outthere right now, and yeah,
lighting is one of them, andI do want to use that. But
no, I really have not gottenpast the fact that I can listen to
(23:06):
music on you know, the typeof music I listen like to listen to.
I just tell, you know,play my standard set or play music
like that, and it does it. Yeah, and it's wonderful. Well,
take it around and listen to itall over. Yeah, it does
that, and I'm able to keepup. I have a little daily briefing
that comes up in the morning andI listen to CNBC and what's going on
the stocks and everything. And guesswhat, you know that a little sucker
(23:29):
can do math. Oh. Iwas doing a spreadsheet and instead of having
to put it in a calculator,I'd tell it, you know, what's
what's forty percent of ten thousand,and she come back ten thousand is I'm
like, oh my gosh, thething does math. So I haven't sit
there checking my math work like likea math teacher whenever I'm doing spreadsheets and
stuff. Well, you know,we're getting closer and closer to that day
(23:52):
that we see on the Jetsons whenwe were kids, to where you just
sit there and talk and then thecomputers talk back to you. Well they
and they do. Oh yeah.Now they're not as smart as I want
them yet, but they're getting closerand they're getting smarter every day. Now.
There is a big controversy about thesekind of devices Siri and Alexa and
all these other Google Home and GoogleHome whatever they call it. And I
(24:14):
think Panasonic or Samsung is coming outwith one, but we'll talk about that
when they have more. But here'sthe big deal. Do you say please
or thank you to it? Notyet I've done that. I'll give it
a command to pick up a radiostation and I'll say, actually, I
said thank you to it myself,say Alexa, thank you, and it
goes. Don't mention it, orit will come and randomly pulls things out.
(24:36):
It's not just don't mention it allthe time. And I was curious
to do that. But my favoriteone is I'll be talking and normally I
stay off and I'll say shut up, and like clockwork, she's out,
and I'm like, I taught itto do that. There you go.
So some days I'll say off,and if i'm a really terse mood there's
(24:56):
something on or there's too much noiseor something, I'll just go Alexa up
right, and I will tell youI've used the Google Assistant. Have you
used that on your phone? Ihave not yet. It keeps popping up
when I'm trying to listen to stuffin the car, and I want to
kill it because it interrupts everything Ido. I haven't seen it. I
haven't had that issue with it,at least not yet. But one of
(25:18):
the things I like about it itseems to be much you know, it
seems to be very smart. Ihaven't challenged it versus the Alexa yet,
but that might be something that weneed to do. Well. I need
to figure out what I'm going todo is Syria now, because I went
out and bought a brand new iPadpro and my friend Sherry Celafia, if
she's listening, she's going to beshocked in a maze that I've not only
(25:42):
had bought an iPad, which I'vehad for some time, but I've bought
a newer one and a bigger one. And I love the one that I've
got. It was given to meas a gift. And the problem with
it is it's got sixteen gigabytes ofmemory. They up the software so much
that it can't do anything. Andyou want to update the app because oh
(26:06):
you need this OS so you know, oh you can't do that without as
much memory. Can't you believe that? I mean, I'm just I have
to chuckle. You're sitting there tellingme, you know, I understand,
but it's like you got sixteen gigand that's not enough for the software.
Yeah, they're they're back bigger.Back when I was you know, a
(26:27):
lot, you know, thirty yearsago, I had a guy tell me
that with a five megabyte hard disk, which was like external hard disk.
It was like, oh, hesays, that's more that's more dispace than
you'll ever use in a lifetime.And I'm like, going, really,
you know, and nowadays that's justnothing compared to what we're using nowadays.
(26:48):
It yeah, it's a the amountof dispace, and the price for it
is so incredibly inexpensive. It's wonderful. Well, you know, we we
used to complain about filling up aCD, which is six hundred forty megabytes,
and I think a DVD is nowbut four a double sided eight.
(27:08):
And now I have something that fitsin the size of my thumbnail stacks of
CDs and half that stack in DVDs, all on this little chip. And
that just blows my mind because it'ssitting in my phone, yep, a
nice little thumb drive and the sizeof those you know, the size of
(27:32):
that is it'sh gosh. I mean, the it's not even as big as
a sugar cube, but it's smaller. You know, smaller than that.
Just just amazing how small, howtiny these little micro SD cards are nowadays,
and they just go right inside thephones. Everybody's seen them, and
it's wonderful to have such a anice little unit. And in all of
(27:53):
our telephones have gotten so you know, compact. And that's and that's on
things I hate about Apple versus othersis you know, I run out of
space, it's like, oh,I move stuff over to a memory card.
I can do that in an Androidtablet, but I can't do it
an Apple tablet because for some reasonjobs it's like, Nope, nope,
I don't want to pay a roledefeat for a card. Nope, nope,
(28:15):
I'm not going to do it.That's where the cloud comes in.
Yeah, and that was another thing. I backed up that whole thing.
That's was it five gigabytes they giveyou for free and then they're like they
want you to buy more, Andthere was like fifty gigabytes, and I'm
sitting here thinking, oh god,that's going to cost too much. So
I finally looked into it. Youknow how much it costs for an additional
(28:36):
fifty gigabytes of cloud storage? Upthere? How much ninety nine cents a
month. Yeah, it blew meaway as it signed me up. Yeah,
and then iTunes now used to beyou'd hook it up to your computer
and you would back it up,which to me is very safe because I
got on a hard drive. IfI lose it, I could put it
onto a new one. Well,I go in to back it up.
(28:57):
It was moist, showy but lannishversion of it tunes. We don't do
dank no more. We just domusic. So you kind of have to
go to the clouds chucker, AndI'm just like, wait a minute,
I backed up all my stuff forhow long in this thing? Can I
even access it? No? Dandangchow bunkie. No, up to the
cloud you go. So I endedup having to take the little guy and
(29:22):
put everything up on the cloud.And I was amazed when I got it
down to the big one because there'sstuff I thought, like would tune in.
They have special files that are ina certain section of the of the
unit. You can't get to samewith the phones, and I figured,
oh, it ain't gonna back thoseup. Backed up everyone and I couldn't
find my post it notes, youknow, the little notes that you made
because I had tons of stuff ofnotes that I've done over the years.
(29:45):
Sure enough, it took it.It brought everything up, every every app
that I had except for two,and I think that's because they're not in
the app store anymore. Those twodidn't carry over, but everything else it
did. And it's wanting me togo to eleven dot two. And some
of the stuff is saying when Ieleven dot two, you ain't gonna use
(30:06):
this app, And I'm like,without me checking out what kind of things
you've done with eleven dot two,that'll screw me over. I'm not talking
to eleven dot two right now.Check back with me on Friday. So
I've looked and I saw some scarystuff about issues and I'm like, well,
have they patched it by now?That was a bit back. So
I've got to research that before Imove it up to eleven dot two.
(30:26):
Oh. It is handy to beable to you know, with cloud that's
out there, it's handy to beable to take something that's on one device
and then move it very easily overto another device. Yeah, and it
was. I was surprised at howeasy it was. But at the same
time, I just didn't want togo through and have it on the cloud.
Sure, And like I said,just like talking to Alexa, my
(30:48):
stuff is boring anyway, not likethey're going to find anything that's you know,
oh we got the goods on him. That's not the case. I
just like having it in a computerin the house so that if I need
to get to it, it's there. I'm used to having stuff in all
different rocks, you know, Iagree to I want to be able to
have everything on my own uh nassserver just just at my house and then
(31:11):
keep it there if it because thenit's mine, it's one of my you
know, it's it's in my house. I don't have to worry about someone
outside my house coming in. Butthen you get the whole issue where people,
you know, the hackers that mighttry to get into your and it's
gonna be boring life for a hackers. All this guy again. Yeah,
(31:32):
they're not going to find any nudepictures or anything in my hacks, so
they ain't happening. But that's that'sthe issue of being online. But I
do enjoy some of it, Likewhen we were at Carol d Charlie and
I were there and we do theTech Show. The guy that was running
the board had a dropbox, andso drop shows in there and then I'd
pick them up in the morning,and I had my archives and I chop
(31:53):
them up and put them on Facebookor whatever that I liked, and I
like having it now, Like tonight, Chris is running the board there in
Phoenix, and we were talking earliertoday about well, what are we gonna
play, what are we gonna puthere, what we're gonna put there?
And we have Google Drive, Ithink it is, and I'm doing all
(32:13):
my stuff, taking it, puttingmy computer, dropping it into a Google
Drive, and then of course hecomes in rabs my stuff and we go
through a preliminary checkout before the showand all of the music and everything is
there. We didn't have to attachit to twenty seven different emails, and
so yeah, for the convenience,it's not bad. And I do like
that. But my entire life upthere, sure, And the price is
(32:37):
right, Yeah, I like that. So you're talking eleven eighty eight a
year, yeah, and ninety ninecents a month, and I'm actually takes
it off and just says, wellwe both different nine cents, Thank you
very much, saying well, okay, I'll keep my stuff up there.
Okay, Well, we're gonna trysomething new. We're gonna answer a call
(32:58):
and it's either going to be itis either going to be on the air
or it's gonna scrape paint click,So we'll see which way this goes.
I think I figured this out thisfirst time. I've dealt with the comrades,
but generally I was I'm a Telo'sguy. But anyway, here's what
I do. We got a callfrom Round Rock, Texas, and Chris
(33:19):
is out there. Sounds familiar,doesn't it. Chris and Round Rock.
Let's see if this works. Chrisand Round Rock, are you there?
I am here, Mick whoa,Hello, it's Chris. Congratulations. Yeah,
congratulations for getting the show back up. Thank you so much. We're
turning you down a little bit rightnow. It's about with me just a
second. First time I vote onthe phones. But yeah, it's oh
(33:44):
that's much better. Thank you.So listening to us on tune in.
Actually I'm listening to you on myphone right at the moment, right,
but you're listening to the two Napper. Yeah, I finally located the so
you kept saying, oh you getthis streaming. Well, I went to
the radio station's website. Nope,that's not it. I got something else
(34:07):
on. There's a radio station websiteand we end that up yet for yeah,
okay, yeah, they're they're streamingsomething else completely. Oh okay,
that's probably network or something. ButI got the chat room up right.
(34:30):

a chat button and click that onand be able to get in there and
be able to do that. Yeah, okay, goodbye, just jumped on.
(35:16):
Here you go. So, um, been a while, So what
what's she been doing down there.Well you know I was with XI three.
Well, hang on, we gottatake a break and hold on,
hold on, I gotta take whatyou've been doing. Let's cut him different
different clock. Sorry about that,we got a whole different clock. Hang
(35:37):

be right back and talk with Chrisand catch up with him. Hold on,
(35:58):
come on, came a lot,camelot. It's only a model table
table. We changed all the season, a fucking big table. We dime
out here didn't come off well onesecond. Those Let's not get the camelot.
(36:24):
It is a silly place, right, okay, Greenings and welcome to
our two. At the end ofit, nob nine, it's the brown
tables of the wrong spot. Hey, first ship man shakedown cruise. Hey,
surprises everywhere. So that was herding ding over there, and uh,
(36:47):
we'll get we'll get it going anyway. Mc williams, cyrene with you
eight four four nine, two,seven, six six nine one our remaining
minutes, go back talking to Chrishere and give me just a ummle of
bringing him back up here we go, Cray still with us. I'm still
with you, all right? Soanyway, as I was saying, I
was catching up with you, andyou were talking about I three, So
(37:07):
go ahead and pick up from there. Yeah, I was well. I
was working for SISK Systems, whichhad become a subsidiary of x I three.
You remember the little small computers.Yeah, well they don't exist anymore.
They went into involuntary bankruptcy due toone person's spending m I won't get
(37:37):
into too much details, but alot of us were supposed to get all
kinds of bonuses and back pay,in my case, to the tune of
three hundred and six thousand dollars.Yeah, there was so little asset of
value. By the time they werefinished, we got nothing. And that's
(37:58):
sad. That was a nice littlebox, too tiny, and it was
pretty cool, so many things youcould do. And XI three actually owned
the patent that allowed the nook tobe made, the Intel Nook Wow,
and you know Intel was they hada licensing agreement. It was It was
(38:22):
a mess. So I went towork for a company called you an Electric.
Now, they were building a devicethat goes between your circuit breaker and
the circuit to your house that hada relay so you could turn it on
and off remotely, but it wouldalso read each individual circuits current and way
(38:46):
form signatures. Yeah, if youreally identify what was on there. Sure,
if you're trying to get a handleon exactly how much your energy you're
using and try to keep your energyusage low, I think it sounds like
an awesome way to go right.Well, there's a company called sense that
does that, but they just putit on the main the main inputs,
(39:07):
and they try to identify the devicein the house. We were taking it
all the way down to the singlecircuit level and one minute they lost their
funding in April. Okay, ohwell yeah, that's uh not good.
But boy, I can see howa product like that would be useful be
a lot of um. It wouldbe good just to keep you in charge
(39:30):
your house, just to know everythingthat's going on there. Well yeah,
and you could set up alerts.You know. Let's say just for example,
and this is based on something thatactually happened to somebody. I know,
You're sitting at work and suddenly yourphone beeps and you look down at
it and it says unusual power drawon the external outlet on your house.
(39:54):
In this case, yeah, Ihave. He had a neighbor hop over
the fence, plug into his electricalpower and plug in his electric lawnmower.
Well, Chris, we're gonna haveto wrap it up here because we're coming
up on the top of the hour. Thank you for calling in. Hopefully
we'll be hearing again from you soon. And take care and we'll hopefully hear
(40:15):
we do the very near future.All Right, we're gonna go in an
hour two and we're gonna move alittle forward and some of the stuff going
on, and also talk about themobile concierge around the world via the Internet
and coast coast by satellite. Listeningto Mick william Saberline on the USA Radio
Network, God, I love sayingthat again.
