**Adam Stacoviak:** Right. Okay, so give me one at least, which they do. They give you the one, that does most things; the game part of it, not so well. Hey, I could play crossword all day on the typical-- |
**Jerod Santo:** That's not a video gamer though... |
**Adam Stacoviak:** It's a remote though, so we gotcha... \[laughs\] |
**Jerod Santo:** No, because that is not a game controller. |
**Adam Stacoviak:** I'm only messing around, I agree. I do agree. I think if they could just take it one level further and say "Not only is it this, but you can buy (maybe, say) the game version of it", or add it in the process of buying an Apple TV. Maybe it's not default in every one of them, but when you buy it - si... |
It's a great display, it's great graphics, why not push into gaming there? Maybe they're just not ready yet. Maybe they're playing the long game, and eventually they'll get there. |
**Jerod Santo:** I don't know if they care so much. |
**Adam Stacoviak:** E-sports? It's a billion-dollar industry. |
**Jerod Santo:** Well, they're already the biggest company in the world. They're doing pretty well with hardware. |
**Adam Stacoviak:** I mean, it's not a company -- oh, you're saying Apple. I thought you said e-sports. |
**Jerod Santo:** No, I'm thinking about Apple. No, I agree, it's huge. I just think Apple is the hugest, and we all talk about focus amongst the things that we try to do, so maybe it's a focus thing. Maybe, I think, they might have blinders and they might think that what they're doing is already good enough, because lo... |
**Tim Smith:** I would like to think that it's a focus thing, because I feel that that's when Apple is at its best, when it focuses on things that it can do really well, and it does a lot of those things already. |
I wanted to talk also about some of the other features that were very appealing to me, of the iPad Pro... Not so much from a developer standpoint, because like we've already said, there's not a ton on the developer end that maybe is exciting - I don't know if that's the world necessarily... But as a writer, oh my goodn... |
I can do a lot of writing on the go, and their new Smart Keyboard Folio thankfully covers the back-side of the freaking iPad. I don't know why that wasn't a thing with their last generation of iPad. I'm glad that it's now a thing. It's got two new angles, which is pretty cool, depending on whether it's on your lap or o... |
\[01:24:08.07\] Also, USB-C for me was a big feature, because it now allows me to connect my camera directly to the iPad. Like with the trip that I just took to London, for example, for Sustain, I can just hook up my camera directly to the iPad, import my pictures, edit them on the iPad, in VSCO, or whatever other edit... |
**Jerod Santo:** So let's close with this - we've had three big, new, purchasable products announced today. We've had the all-new MacBook Air, the all-new Mac mini, and an all-new iPad Pro. Hypothetically, you can only buy one of these three devices, but you have to buy one, so you can't say no. You have to buy somethi... |
**Adam Stacoviak:** When you say "we", are you saying we, or are you saying individual needs? |
**Jerod Santo:** I'm saying you, Adam, and then you, Tim, and then me, Jerod. |
**Adam Stacoviak:** Gotcha, okay. |
**Jerod Santo:** Yes. Which one are you gonna buy? |
**Adam Stacoviak:** Who's going first? |
**Jerod Santo:** Well, I'll go first, because mine is a pretty easy decision... I'm getting the iPad Pro, because I don't have one, and it looks really fun. The Mac mini is awesome; I already have a pretty new laptop, so I'm not gonna upgrade my laptop any time soon. I may eventually get a Mac mini for kind of a home s... |
I have a pretty new MacBook Pro, so I'm not on the prowl for a new laptop, but I am iPad-less. This iPad Pro looks spectacular, and I would buy it. There you go. Tim? You're trying to buy all three of these. |
**Tim Smith:** Yeah. |
**Jerod Santo:** \[laughs\] |
**Tim Smith:** Well, that's a hard question for me, because I feel that -- to me, this whole announcement day was Apple listening to what it is that I feel like people want... But I think I'm gonna go iPad Pro too, because... You know, we've talked a little bit about my different needs here at Changelog, and what I nee... |
**Adam Stacoviak:** I'm going counter-cultural, man... |
**Tim Smith:** \[laughs\] That doesn't surprise me... |
**Adam Stacoviak:** None of the above. |
**Jerod Santo:** Whaat...?! |
**Tim Smith:** Whaaat?! |
**Adam Stacoviak:** Yeah, I'm gonna resist. |
**Jerod Santo:** You've gotta pick one. You're breaking the rule, man... |
**Adam Stacoviak:** Oh, okay, I have to... |
**Jerod Santo:** Well, that was the rule. You've gotta pick one. |
**Adam Stacoviak:** \[01:27:43.12\] Barring no rule, I would go with none of the above... Because NEED is not true in this case. WANT, however, is true, and I would say the Mac mini, because it has so many more uses for the things I could need it for. I think that it's obviously for all the reasons we've already talked... |
The MacBook Air, while it's amazing, I already have a MacBook Pro, and I'm more of a Pro user than an Air user, although I can admit where the Air would shine, and where the Pro would shine a little brighter, and I'm not sure how marginal that "little brighter" is for the use cases I have. I'd say Mac mini. And it woul... |
And then after I bought the Mac mini, I would then go and change from Thunderbolt 2 to Thunderbolt 3 RAID arrays, because currently we're using Thunderbolt 2, which as we know, is a little slower. Thunderbolt 3 is so much faster. I would probably then go and bump up some of the RAID arrays we have from Thunderbolt 2 to... |
**Tim Smith:** Hm, interesting. |
**Adam Stacoviak:** Less around needed, more around future-friendly... Because it'd just be so much faster. We talked in our editorial meeting yesterday about the needs for you all (you and Jerod and other members of the team) to have access to the archives, the infamous Changelog archives, which have been so well kept... |
**Jerod Santo:** Why don't you just put it on S3, or something. |
**Adam Stacoviak:** That would take way forever, bro... Like, way forever. |
**Jerod Santo:** Why? |
**Adam Stacoviak:** We're talking about at a minimum, most of an individual show's archive is one at least, or potentially several gigs. |
**Jerod Santo:** \[01:31:26.26\] So? |
**Adam Stacoviak:** We're talking about-- it just took me... |
**Jerod Santo:** You have fast upload. |
**Adam Stacoviak:** Bro, I just moved 9,25 TB across the network. It took 15 hours. Let alone to the internet. |
**Jerod Santo:** It'd be one big back-up first... |
**Adam Stacoviak:** Not interested. |
