[2737.40 --> 2738.64] VR stuff is becoming
[2738.64 --> 2739.40] more legitimate,
[2739.58 --> 2740.16] especially with these
[2740.16 --> 2740.74] big titles.
[2740.90 --> 2741.02] Oh,
[2741.12 --> 2741.62] here you go!
[2743.18 --> 2744.08] VR is,
[2744.26 --> 2745.16] has been spun off
[2745.16 --> 2746.00] as a standalone
[2746.00 --> 2747.32] subsidiary already anyway.
[2747.68 --> 2747.86] Yeah.
[2747.90 --> 2748.06] So,
[2748.24 --> 2749.40] Google's incentive here
[2749.40 --> 2750.40] is that
[2750.40 --> 2751.80] they want to produce
[2751.80 --> 2752.58] hardware.
[2753.66 --> 2754.22] Routers,
[2754.80 --> 2755.38] phones,
[2756.02 --> 2756.84] whatever.
[2757.10 --> 2758.02] Google is getting
[2758.02 --> 2759.24] into consumer electronics
[2759.24 --> 2761.34] and HTC
[2761.34 --> 2762.16] has
[2762.16 --> 2762.88] good
[2762.88 --> 2763.88] manufacturing
[2763.88 --> 2764.94] facilities
[2764.94 --> 2765.70] and expertise.
[2765.70 --> 2766.02] What was that?
[2766.10 --> 2766.88] Was it the M9
[2766.88 --> 2767.60] or M8?
[2768.24 --> 2768.84] Which one?
[2768.84 --> 2768.86] That was,
[2768.98 --> 2769.04] like,
[2769.12 --> 2770.14] the one piece
[2770.14 --> 2770.68] of aluminum.
[2770.94 --> 2771.48] The M7
[2771.48 --> 2772.30] was the first one
[2772.30 --> 2773.06] that really got
[2773.06 --> 2773.76] everyone's attention
[2773.76 --> 2773.94] and,
[2774.04 --> 2774.12] like,
[2774.18 --> 2775.58] made HTC
[2775.58 --> 2776.36] relevant again
[2776.36 --> 2777.70] for however short
[2777.70 --> 2778.44] a period of time.
[2778.48 --> 2779.48] They can do that stuff.
[2783.48 --> 2783.76] But,
[2783.88 --> 2785.48] yeah.
[2786.10 --> 2786.30] So,
[2786.42 --> 2787.26] I see what's in it
[2787.26 --> 2787.62] for Google.
[2787.78 --> 2788.44] I see what's in it
[2788.44 --> 2789.04] for HTC.
[2789.16 --> 2789.70] They had their
[2789.70 --> 2790.66] worst month
[2790.66 --> 2791.14] in the past
[2791.14 --> 2792.16] 13 years.
[2792.84 --> 2793.04] Wow.
[2794.04 --> 2794.88] In August,
[2795.04 --> 2795.66] revenue dropped
[2795.66 --> 2797.28] by 51.5%
[2797.28 --> 2798.20] compared to last month
[2798.20 --> 2799.78] and 54.3%
[2799.78 --> 2800.80] from last August.
[2801.60 --> 2801.72] So,
[2801.80 --> 2802.06] like,
[2802.74 --> 2803.22] yeah,
[2803.34 --> 2804.34] I totally see this
[2804.34 --> 2804.92] making sense
[2804.92 --> 2805.42] and Google's
[2805.42 --> 2806.20] probably the most
[2806.20 --> 2806.96] sensible buyer
[2806.96 --> 2807.90] that I can think of.
[2808.48 --> 2809.20] Pretty cool.
[2810.06 --> 2810.52] Um,
[2810.98 --> 2812.28] all right.
[2812.44 --> 2813.28] That's boring.
[2813.80 --> 2814.70] That's boring.
[2816.10 --> 2816.58] Um,
[2817.90 --> 2819.26] wow.
[2819.58 --> 2819.86] Okay.
[2819.98 --> 2820.12] Uh,
[2820.12 --> 2820.80] there is something
[2820.80 --> 2821.54] important to say
[2821.54 --> 2822.16] about this.
[2822.36 --> 2822.62] Oh,
[2822.72 --> 2822.98] okay.
[2823.06 --> 2823.60] Just one
[2823.60 --> 2824.32] really quick thing.
[2824.34 --> 2824.56] Okay,
[2824.62 --> 2824.94] hold on.
[2825.02 --> 2825.10] Well,
[2825.10 --> 2825.64] I'll bring it up then.

[2826.72 --> 2827.30] on the forum.

[2827.74 --> 2828.48] article's from
