"Climate in real estate correspondent Oleg with her take this morning. It's pretty sizable we saw a drop starting on Friday of about 25 basis points and then another today. So we were just to put it in perspective at about 7.1% on the 30 year fixed two weeks ago and 7 O 5 just last week. Now we're down at about 6 and a half. And what that means really to a person buying a home is if you were buying, say, a half a $1 million home with 20% down on a 30 year fixed, your payment, your monthly payment, just went down in the course of four days by a $128. So that's real money. So you think this will bring more people back to the housing market? Well, one would hope it's been a rough ride for the market. We did see people come back into the market in January when mortgage rates actually fell down towards 6% after again being over 7% in the fall. And that was a bright spot. People were saying, wow, maybe the housing market is recovering faster than we thought. And pending home sales, which are signed contracts. Those went up 8% in January, surprisingly. And the home builders started to see a lot more traffic coming in. But then in February, rates shot back up again and it just completely stalled So the question is, how long will rates stay slightly lower and will they fall even further from here? That's going to depend on inflation and we get a big number on that tomorrow. Is there a cause and effect here from the situation with Silicon Valley bank and signature bank and the dropping in the mortgage rates? Yeah, it's a direct effect. Not to get too complicated, but mortgage rates follow bond yields, specifically the yield on the ten year treasury. And when something really kind of scary happens in the economy, like what happened with the banks, investors rushed to the safety of government bonds because they know that nothing can go wrong with that. So they rush in and when they rush in, the yields come down because the prices

What a Hoax! Ex-FBI Official Charged With Violating Russia Sanctions
"Turns out that a senior FBI official, we're talking about the guy who was in charge of the FBI's counterintelligence division in New York. This is a fellow named Charles mcgonagall. Now he retired in 2018, so he's not still with the FBI, but this is a guy who was involved in the FBI campaign to depict Trump as colluding with Russia. This is the guy who was involved with crossfire hurricane. He was involved with George papadopoulos. The whole notion that Trump was colluding with Russia was, of course, a lie. And a left wing democratic scheme to not only explain Hillary's defeat in 2016, but ruin Trump's presidency, possibly even get Trump indicted. Ultimately it was the basis for one of the two impeachments. And so this guy, Charles mcgonagall, is right in the mix. And so isn't it a delicious irony that this very same Charles mcgonagall. This very same FBI counterintelligence division guy. This fellow who was a promoter and participant in the Russia collusion hoax. Has now been arrested and charged over, you guessed it, Russia, collusion. Now, let's follow this. This, according to the indictment, this guy mcgonagall, along with another fellow named Sergey schek was a former Soviet and Russian diplomat who later became a U.S. citizen. These guys are apparently providing services to a Russian oligarch named Oleg deripaska.

"Briefing on global news focus James Wilcox. President Erdoğan of turkey says he won't support Sweden's bids to join NATO, an agreement reached at the NATO summit in Madrid last June about Sweden and Finland's membership bids to move ahead, but turkey refused to ratify the bids and its position has changed little since then. Staying with Ukraine news, Bloomberg understands by the administration has confronted Beijing on its stance towards Russia. U.S. officials raised evidence suggesting Chinese state owned companies may be providing assistance to Russia's war efforts. The alleged support is understood to consist of non lethal military and economic assistance that stops short of hostile evasion of sanctions. The news comes after a retired FBI official has been charged with working for the Russian oligarch Oleg deripaska. In violation of U.S. sanctions, formal special agent Charles mcgonagall is accused of money laundering and violating sanctions. Prosecutors claim the former law enforcement agent agreed to investigate a Russian rival of deripaska in exchange for concealed payments. Global news, 24 hours a day on air and on Bloomberg quicktake, powered by more than 2700 journalists and analysts in more than a 120 countries. I'm James Wilcox. This is Bloomberg. Anna. James, thanks very much for that. Now we're just getting some breaking news across the Bloomberg red headlines from the French economy. For manufacturing manufacturing, the January manufacturing PMI number for France has come in at 50.8. That is higher than the forecast which was 49.5, and it is in two expansion territory only just, but it is above 50, which is always the thing you're looking for with this PMI data. So manufacturing tick services PMI falling to 49.2, the forecast had been 49.8. So less positive on the services side on the services side, it seems as if the number is still in contraction and was weaker than had been anticipated and is a fall from last year, so definitely not a take on that front. But broadly speaking, we're looking for this PMI data then Stephen to give us any clues as to how resilient the parts of the Eurozone economy have been through the winter because that's one of the reasons why we continue to hear more hawkishness from European officials is because the backdrop of the economy is a little stronger than anticipated. Yeah, perhaps give them a little bit more room for maneuver there as well. We have more PMI data out this morning we'll get the Germany figures at half past 8 this morning and at 9 o'clock then the Eurozone wide figures as well. Now all of the German figures expected by economists to show continued contraction across services manufacturing and the composite number in terms of the Eurozone figures we are expecting to see some expansion in services across the Eurozone but the composite manufacturing figures both expected to be in contraction hovering in and around the 50 mark there, which just gives us the idea that things could be better or worse depending on which direction they move in. Coming up next on the program, we will be delving into some of that commentary from the European Central Bank we've been getting

US: Ex-FBI counterterrorism official aided Russian oligarch
"A former high ranking FBI counterintelligence official has been indicted on charges. He helped a Russian oligarch in violation of U.S. sanctions, Charles mcgonagall, the former special agent in charge of the FBI's New York counterintelligence division, is accused in an indictment of working with a former Soviet diplomat turned Russian interpreter on behalf of Oleg deripaska, a Russian billionaire energy magnet. Mcgonagall, who had supervised investigations of Russian oligarchs, including deripaska before retiring in 2018, allegedly worked to have deripaska's sanctions lifted in 2019 and took money from him in 2021 to investigate a rival oligarch. Mcgonagall was separately charged in federal court in D.C. with concealing $225,000 in payments. He received from an outside source with whom he traveled to Europe, Julie Walker, New York

"Of size of the markets, market conditions, et cetera. And again, we will be definitely doing it in a very, very transparent way involved in the community. So you mentioned that your vision is to force what token to become a currency that is backed by physical activities. So we know that all the currencies in the world are most fear currency. Issued by governments and governments have central banks to manage their currencies and central banks have usually do a market interventions to stabilize their currency prices and they have foreign reserves, so to be used to do open market operations to stabilize their currency prices. Do you have something similar like that? Well, I mean, we have treasury that is to the responsible for success of the project. So in short, yes, the longer version of the answer is we need to learn an awful lot because the nature of our project and the nature of our tokenomics is such that there is very little there are very, very few precedents. That we can learn from, because we're not like fixed supply, there are quite a lot of dos and don'ts and playbooks for projects like that. We're very, very different. So we're definitely taking this function on and we will be learning a lot with the help of community in making sure that we are developing sweat economy for tens on hopefully hundreds, possibly thousands of years going forward. Right, so because you're the one making history here. So the other people will be learning from you. We're looking to learn from you. So this is a very, very exciting initiative. That you were taken. Any kind of salts on lessons you learned from this journey that you've been on for several years, which is very exciting. Any major things that you learned as an entrepreneur that you didn't know before or anything about web three that you didn't know before. Yeah, maybe I'll kick off the tokenization is a secret source that can change things to our ways that businesses go about doing what they do. To me, like tokenization and just a general concept is such a novel thing that suddenly comes to light in because right now there are working mechanisms and platforms that enable that. It's the first one. The second one for me is how do you leverage growth and how do you unlock how you create a flywheel? I think it's an extremely powerful, powerful tool if you're successful. So everybody, a lot has been said about the network effect and stuff like that. And obviously a flywheel exists when there's very strong network effects. But the problem is that it's not always, of course, you're a Facebook or a social network, and the network effects are in built. In the nature of the product. But sometimes you can create those network effects and there's multiple different types of effects. How do you design your system in such a way that different network effects, they kick in and they interact with each other. I think it's a really interesting concept. And that's something that you just need to execute well against. Finally, third thing is, what really helps you scale is culture when you have a very strong culture that you've established early on that the rest is so much easier because you will have to go through downs and there will be multiple blocks once and there will be moments when everybody is trust. And you're looking into their best. And this is where culture really makes a difference. You know, when everything's good, your culture doesn't really matter that much because everybody is excited and everybody's just going at it. It's very easy to be a winner. But when you're a loser, which unfortunately happens more often than when you're a winner, this is where a culture really matters. Well, said, how about you? The whole raft of things pops to my mind. One thing that I would say is that we are still in very early days of web three and crypto and blockchain. And the reason why I'm saying this is because if you actually look into web three, the only use case that has been really worked on by majority of projects is money. And various different utilities around money and funky derivatives this and yield farming and this and that, which is probably an obvious first place to start. But there is very, very little use of web three technology in other sort of applications like, for example, sweatcoin and sweat economy where we create a completely new type of token and completely different type of utility. And the point that I want to make here is that we need more innovation outside of money markets because money markets are not going to create mass market adoption. They are not likely to bring next billion people because to be honest, I was very hard to understand for a lot of people they don't have this liquidity required to play this sort of funky and risky financial product. So that's one area that we are in early days and no matter what people say, I think that we have huge amount of growth ahead of us. There is a whole route of other things that I wanted to share as a business that came from web two to web three. Because I hope that there are quite a lot of businesses like us sitting then kind of going in actually, you know what? Maybe we should kind of go and tokenize as well. And here, I think there are several pieces of advice that I would give. One is do not rely on advisers or anybody else to develop your token economics. This is like your business model. Only you will be able to come up with it. You can not farm out the design of the most basic part of your business. You know it best. Nobody will be able to do this work for you. And really focus and think if you want to go into the space, don't go into it because adding blockchain allows you to fundraise or that is a trap because markets

And Oleg told me to my face that Oleg was not an oppressive that agent trainee. Or agent Vladimir Putin was not impressive. Not impressive at all. Now he's biased. Given his current situation well, yeah, he could still make it up because he had this big ruckus when he was in parliament, and the war criminal about the war on Serbia. Not only could he make it up, I wouldn't trust his analysis. I mean, I have to, you know, when people have been working very hard even before this war to try to understand objective analysis of all the parties involved. You have to really keep an open mind here to see clearly to understand if you are to try to help in some way make a better world. In this case, stop this war. Or have all the countries involved flourish, bring out the best of the people, remove the corruption and the greed and the destructive aspects of the government and what the people flourish for all that you have to put all the biases aside. All the political bickering, all the, I don't know all the biased analysis. And there's a lot of propaganda that says that, in fact, Putin was a good agent. How else would he rise to the ranks, right? Because he was a good politician. And he made a lot of good connections with indic KGB. Allow me to say something and you just taught me a lesson. And the lesson I should have figured out myself because I keep on telling people that in the intelligence world, you never know the truth 100%. So when you said, oh, I could make that up. Of course he could have. But you get to a point where you forced to make a decision or have an opinion and then you use your best educated guess. Yes. So I'm going to take the certainty of the statement that I made back. Yes. Because it's quite possible that you're right. Well, what I've noticed about Vladimir Putin. And this is true about, for example, Donald Trump and all those kinds of divisive figures that for some reason people's opinion on the details of those people are very sticky.

We did not anticipate people using simple flat. Files excel files. Csv's as often as they do right because our experience wasn't in doing that and somebody you know nobody we talked to said. Oh i've got all this data dumped into. Csv's i just wanna use that. Our expectation was engineering team. Connector database. well we didn't build the experience to be good enough for that. We've redesigned to completely. But fortunately it was mostly you redesigned but still there. Are you know use cases where we expected people to use the system. One way they're using it a different way and and seeing benefit but not nearly enough. You have to dig for that information rights that if they're not running into an explicit problem. Somebody's not going to know that they could have a better experience. Having those conversations with customers lead us to a point where they said well. I wish this was different. Oh really tell me more and then on the building side. I mean i don't know any. Cto who's never made a a bad r- there's always going to be people related issues. But i think the what i've learned there is move on quickly Don't let somebody drag the team down with them and find resolutions quickly. You know find fair resolutions but find resolutions quickly. So what does the future look like for verb the product. And for your team we've got more roadmap than we have. People said team for sure Party for us right now is is hiring. Great engineers great product people great designers to help accelerate the production on our side an execution against the road map. A lot of those features are expanding existing functionality but also adding a ton of a and m. l. style stuff but no it's it's not just that but it's it's the application of machine learning application of artificial intelligence adding truly predictive analytics into application even for the sat side right up some of that exists today on the bi aspect About predicting where your customers might come from. The sierra sierra are pretty good at doing that But giving your end user some of those same tools at scale so that they can't figure out if you're running a sassy commerce business wear should they be investing to further their growth. If you're running a workflow business in a coup should be assigned next task because they have the most availability or whatever it might be right and those kind of visualizations and data analytics are. Were were heading. But also you know just adding more visualizations in general We have a great mapping feature coming out we've got some use cases around currency conversion coming out very soon and those are all customer demand And and roadmap items that. We really want to get out there and and executed. I love switch to you. Who influences the way that you work in name. A ceo cto architect really any person that you look up to. And why i had the fortune of of as we've exits and businesses the businesses that the larger companies that have required us have had great leadership at them and there's been tons of influence from people at those leadership positions who executed against their plan. Really well my previous partners. That i've started that. That the guy who dragged me into this whole thing. The reason i've been sitting here talking to you I think our truthfully. By two biggest influences dan garber and alexandrovich they are very different minded than myself but also understand that you need tons of different viewpoints and you need to be really good at your part of the business and let people who are really good at part of business. Run that aspect thanks. So that's why we worked really well together. They taught me everything. I know about business because i knew nothing about business when i first started and i'd like to think i taught him a little bit about Engineering but you know who knows. Will we talked about a mistake but a little bit different spin. If you could go back to the beginning what would you do differently. Or where would you consider taking a different approach. Not to say that. I've taken the right path every time. But i i don't know if i i would have because verb for example exists only because we've made so many mistakes in building dashboards so many times right. I think the greatest business ideas and the greatest implementations of businesses are ones that you've struggled through so many times you know the pain of and you've heard others have that saint paint and so i don't know i i'm sure i thought long and hard on it. I could come up with you know. Abc that you know but to me more important is it's capitalizing on the knowledge of those mistakes and utilizing them to grow the existing business to further the next one. There's always an opportunity to better and if you're making the same mistake twice that's the problem not making it. The first one less question oleg. So you're getting on a plane and you're sitting next to a young entrepreneur. Who's built the next big thing. The jazzed about can't wait to show it to off to the world. Showed off to you right there on the plane. What advice do you give that person. Having gone down this road a bit. I think they've i said give. Him is the same one that i kind of started with is talk to people talk to that. Talk to me sitting next to you on that plane and then go talk. Turn to your left to talk to that other person you even in the same industry. Try to talk to as many people. I can't tell you how many people in the data space we spoke to before we ever started for. There's always that concern of young entrepreneurs. Oh that's it's my idea. They're going to steal it if you know what you're doing if you have a great idea and you know how to execute it. Well you should worry about the competition taking that idea. You need them to help. You validate that. It's even worth approaching and then coming back to prototyping we. We don't write a single line of code. We don't you know if you're not a technical founder. That's totally fine. Find yourself a great product manager or find a way to play that role and prototype prototype. Prototype validate.

It might be six months before we wrote code probably another six months before we had an mvp. We were had customer had multiple beta customers. Ought try to get beta customers onto it as early as we could process and there was a lot of smoke and mirrors until some of those features that we promised those people were around. But you're early. Beta customers are the best friends. You'll ever have because if you can find some very willing participants that that see the problem just as much as you do and give you solid. Continuous feedback There's there's no that with the high fidelity prototype there. The meat nick to the mvp decoded mvp debate. You've got people on you know even even with it. You know a well a well old process of going through that high fidelity prototype you you have to make certain decisions trade-offs at once you start building of technical debt. You're going to accept or feature cut or anything like that. Tell me about some of those decisions. It trade-offs you had to make and how you coped with those decisions. Prioritization is is always the hardest part right because you you see what's directly in front of you and you try your best to predict what people will need or use. I mean now that our product has been live for so long. Great people are not entirely using it the way we expect it right which is great because that means people have found alternative ways to apply the product to their business but at the beginning of your building nambi appear as evolving. We're very customer driven. Customer requests take priority generally over what we think they might want right because if somebody's telling you what they want that's that holds a lot more weight and we're constantly having or were and still are having conversations with people who aren't customers whether they're referrals we got or somebody we've worked with in the past or whatever it might be large businesses the larger the customer or potential customer. You talk to the better. Because they're gonna have more and more one unique use cases but to a larger use cases right and building in art detecting for those for that future growth is. It's super critical at the beginning. Because that's what causes all those rewrites for us. It was find the first roadblock for somebody in application what are they going to stumble on first and for us for example was ingestion so we wanted to make sure we supported as many data sources as possible. And you know if if we didn't have that perfect chart for that type of absolute use case. Okay but if they could never get their data into our system to begin with that they would never get to know. Step four five of the process anyway so it was. It was really trying to find out of judas. much coverage on the step-by-step aspects of our application but also not trying to be passive and not trying to predict what people might need. You know we knew what the biggest data sources are out there with the most commonly used ones are we build for those and everything else that came after it was by pure requests from customers. Is they came in and said oh we don't have a great will figure out how to build a one. Is it possible absolutely freight. We'll we'll slot that in as we go rather than trying to begin the build process in trying to build for eight all the way through see that was just never going to be a realistic area. We'd never get live. Shipping is is almost more important right even if ship something that's sixty seventy percent Trying to get to ninety five hundred is a literal impossibility and she's gonna cost you to go back in and do more and more over and over again we'll take me to the next phase in. So you've got your. Mvp you're gathering customer feedback you're reacting to it building what they're asking for and prioritizing in that stage but what about the next stage how did you progress the product from there and how did you mature it in in took give context where i'm going. How did you build your roadmap. And how did you figure out okay. This is the next most important thing to build balancing roadmap is is know it goes back to positions the same challenge. You have as mvp as you have the Product our roadmap is seventy percent customer in twenty percent. You know Technical debt resolution in ten percent. We we come up with wild ideas and and and go from there right but even the wild ideas those are prototypes and tested long. Before they ever see. You know the architect's desk 'cause trying to figure out how to build something is pointless if you can't validate ted. It's worth building. Many ideas die before they ever see a developer which is exactly what you want engineering always the bottleneck for any business. Certainly as an ours. Right hiring is is a challenge more so now than ever but it's always a challenge and so getting enough people to to execute against engineering taxes. wasting their time doing something that nobody ever uses visor pays for is is even worse. We hold very frequent meetings with our customers. We validate you ideas and prototypes against those customers. All the time and you know some of it is of course. What is the gap between us and you know something that they built in house right because that truthfully for us is we view that as one of our biggest competitors or something that inherently are built or historically rather are built in house by a development organization How do we influence a engineer. A cto product manager. Whoever it is to say hey you know what that's something. We built a house but it's not bringing enough value. Let's use verb instead which brings us the same value without any of the engineering. You have to think about the developer a lot that and so a lot of our product roadmap is around making the developer's life easier but just the same. You know you have to think about the end user. The actual person viewing the forward to make sure that they're having a fantastic experience to and everybody in between people building it etc so with any business. it's it on pretended to have a unique scenario. There's always so many different stakeholders in an application And you have to consider all of them. Not just a the final result. Switch to team then. So how did you go about building your team. And what did you look for in those people to indicate that they were the winning horses to join you. James hard verbs is young enough. We actually just closed our seed round. So we're we're starting to really build out our team and I'll i'll plug that we have many positions open at this point so please visit our site if you're interested Everything from product management to development. All of it. It's far as what we look for. I mean experience matters to me more than outright education. Universities are fantastic allergist. Great you know. Schooling is excellent but self motivation to learn. That new thing whether it's at school or not Is to me just as important is not well. Frankly is more important And recent experience is important so working on the latest and greatest is is is very valuable knowing what exists out there in wanting to keep up with technology wanting to keep up with the latest fools wanting to keep up with the latest architectural approaches. Whatever is it significant to your part of the business that that to me matters a ton and you know the desire to work with other cool people in a in a very unique. I've always worked. At small. companies and small companies startups tend to attract a very specific breed. A person you have to be willing to put in the hours but also invest not only time but the desire in watching the business grow just as much as the founders do. So it's it's a hard thing to to to look for but.

Venture oleg. Co-founder dave ran agency focusing on high fidelity prototyping after doing many projects. They figured out that the process of creating dashboards for a product was mostly the same but took a ton of time to prepare the data extract data and display it. They both figured out that they could create a solution to make. This process simpler this. The creation story of verb data verb data is an integrated embedded solution for desch lords and data visualization. That you may wanna do in your product that you show to your end customers so we really make the work of creating a whether it's a full-fledged dashboard or a single pie chart on your website that you want to show to your end consumer so that they can visualize our ally how their products performing how their sales are going how their workflows or managed anything that they may want to know in a visual representation. We're helping you automate paul of that. All the way down to the data source. We'll that then model it transformed in any way you want. And then build visualizations to actually show to your customers and the embedding processes super simple just a couple of lines of code to to get into work and that takes a ton of that effort out of building. Dashboards dashboards are incredibly valuable to that user but building takes a lot of effort a lot of planning and also a lot of management as time goes on right your scheme as evolve you're adding functions and features to your application all the time and you always want to continue to visualize those on your dashboard. That's cycles and sprints you're taken away from your deputy said of actually building corp optionality and there's and there's like nine steps to that process right. It's not just charge. I if it was that simple great but churches is fantastic. There's a ton of great visualization libraries but actually preparing the data to get to a point where you can display it. That's really the the media the effort and that's the part helping also take off the plate and that's really where the engineers love our product. They're saying oh well. I don't actually do any of the the grunt work right writing. All that sequel perform know using a third party tool to extract the data then using another third party tool to transform and then using fourth or fifth or sixth third party tool to visualize it get all that together and this is a problem. We've had personally throughout pretty much every saturday. This is i mean we've built dashboards several dozen times over Either at businesses. I've been involved with or wouldn't we ran an agency for other sesame rant. It's a pain but you have to do it. It customers expected brings credibility to your application. It also helps your sales hypo- right. It's really nice to show a pretty dashboard when you are showing off your product. But they're just they're hard to build their time consuming to build and they take away from from what you should be doing which is actually adding core features core functionality to your product will tell me about the mvp twin me about that first product. You build how long it took you to build. And what sort of tools you use to bring to life. I'll take one quick step back before that before we ran for my partner. David iran a agency where we actually focused on high fidelity prototyping and building. Mvp's for our customers when we got around to building around we. We had a little bit of experience in in doing that. We base that business on a book by mardi keagan called fired Fantastic book for anybody looking to build product not overly technical book more on the product management side and But excellent but the for us really was first before it ever became even thought we'd validated the idea. So we had about one hundred fifty conversations that we've blog in recorded before we ever even drew anything right before we have definitely before we ever wrote a line code before we even drew out a sketch on a piece of paper of what we might wanna be building because we had to fully understand the idea. There's so many different data sources that there. There's so many different ways people want to visualize their data and frankly there's just so many sas businesses out there you know we have to figure out what people would want to do with our product long before we ever built it. we kind of distill those conversations into a very early. Nbc which was simply actually preview was simply a prototype. It was envisioned app with a bunch of kickable screens. That didn't look all that pretty. But you know you could click around and get from page to page. We then figured out what all the problems were which everywhere right. Because you're scrap. Headed is never right. But the high fidelity prototyping approach to let us click drag and move and call that person back and go. Hey we six that. What do you think of this now. And what was great. As those does people bespoke spoke to early on. They were a little more involved now because we got them to give us some input very early on and they were actually really happy to then go back to them and say well you know we have this hyphen reports. That can you take a look at it. And they gave fantastic input over and over again. It probably took us six months before we ever wrote a single line of code but by that point we actually knew what we were building. We knew challenges we wanted to solve and that led us architect the underlying application to scale to the challenges. We expected based on this conversation. Now did we get everything right of course not but if put us on a much more solid footing..

WSJ Tech News Briefing
What You Need to Know About the iPhone 12
"Apple held its second big virtual event of fall yesterday word announced an updated home pod smart speaker, and of course, the headliner its first five G. capable iphone. We originally expected this phone in September but production was delayed due to supply chain issues from the pandemic. Now that it's here, we turn to senior personal tech columnist Joanna Stern to tell us what we ought to know join us. Thanks for joining me. Thanks for having me. Joanne on tell us about this new iphone twelve. I think you mean four new iphone twelve's because in making things much easier for us all to understand apple released four new iphones. But they also have these slight differences. There's the new iphone twelve mini with is actually not that many but does look a lot smaller than the last few iphones we've seen. Then there's the iphone twelve and then there's the iphone twelve pro and the iphone. Pro Max you got that all. Only. Just. So what new features did we see I think that's what makes this year's upgrade pretty great is that there are lots of new features across the entire lineup and the big ones include five G. Five G. is an all of these new phones. There are new designs of all of the new phones more square edges looks a lot like the iphone five or the iphone four was very nice beautiful design some. Really happy to see that you've got camera tricks and you've got all new screens, new Oleg screens across the entire lineup plus your favorite anew charging configuration. Right? I am very excited. The design has a new magnet in the back. This is not visible, but it's below the surface and there's a magnetic coil and apple is now rolling out a new accessory line called MAG safe. You might remember the name from those old macbook. And these magnetic accessories will clip to the back of the phone and one of them is a new wireless charger. That apple says will be a lot faster than usual wireless charging, and of course, the big update here is five G. capability. Five networks are supposed to be the next generation networks and bring faster download speeds better connectivity. And we know investor sentiment has really reached a fever pitch in anticipation of this new phone, what are they and apple hoping this new phone can do for the company I think they are all thinking back to other quote unquote super cycles, and these were big leaps in iphone technologies whether it was big leaps in screen size or big leaps from three G.. To Four G. and there was a lot of excitement around these almost a decade ago and that really got people to upgrade in by new phones because the technological leaps were significant here we're seeing a little bit of that, but it's certainly not the leap I. think that investors or even apple thinks it is especially in five G. I've tested a lot of. Five g phones and they can be very fast but they can be pretty fast when you're in specific areas and when you're on your phone, you don't really feel those speeds. Of course, what the investors and apple are hoping is that the speeds unlock newt sorts of innovations, new types of APPs new types of technologies that run on top of it we saw. This with four G. Four G. unlocked a whole new generation of APPs things from Uber to instagram our phones could load these things faster. Now, our phones are pretty much fast enough. What are we going to do with this faster speed? That's the big question yeah, and we heard over and over again during yesterday's presentation that quote five G. Just got real you've quite. A bit of reporting on five G. Networks I wonder what's your take is five really real now for smartphone users five G. Israel and you can get it but you have to be in a very specific set of circumstances to get it. You need to have the right carrier you need to be in the right location in verizon sense you actually need to. Be Outside standing near a opole. So it is real but is not going to be very real for most users right now. So it sounds like there's a bit of a disconnect between proponents of five G. and consumers. How are we expecting to see apple and their carrier partners trying to close that gap? A Lotta this is about future proofing you have A. Five G. Phone now, and these networks start to get better and they start to get better pretty rapidly. I have to say I have seen a substantial increase in the last year last summer I had to journey to different parts of the US to get five G.. Now, I can just go to a different section of the city or a different section of. My neighborhood to try to test out five G.. So it is getting better the speeds are getting better but there are a lot of technical hurdles and there are a lot of glitches frankly, I mean, there are times when I testify g and the same exact spot and I could get blazing fast speeds, one minute, and then another minute just sort of four speeds. Are Joining as our senior personal columnist. The big question is, should people upgrade to this phone or should they wait my advice is to wait for my review but if you're looking preorder, my first piece of advice is do not upgrade just for five G. that's not a reason to upgrade. But what's really nice about what apple was there was a whole other big feature set that you get here that isn't just tied to five. G. You get those nicer designs you get that nicer screen you get that more compact form factor. If you want to get that many device loads of new camera tricks many that I don't frankly understand and need to even dig into because the presentation was so packed with all that information. So don't just go by for five G. go by for the big package and what it all means together. All right anything else that jumped out. At you about yesterday's event. Yes. Interestingly, they started the event talking about the product that we never remember that apple makes, which is the home pod, a new home pod mini, and this is a really compelling little product. It is a smart speaker from Apple Ninety nine dollars. Obviously, they're to compete against the Amazon and the Google Minis of the world lots of features that others have had before it's lagging in music support. No. spotify and Pandora's not going to be there for a couple of months but seemed like a compelling holiday gift by

iPhone 12 and 12 Pro 5G: Apple unveils super-speedy new phone lineup
"Apple released four new iphones. But they also have these slight differences. There's the new iphone twelve mini with is actually not that many but does look a lot smaller than the last few iphones we've seen. Then there's the iphone twelve and then there's the iphone twelve pro and the iphone. Pro Max you got that all. Only. Just. So what new features did we see I think that's what makes this year's upgrade pretty great is that there are lots of new features across the entire lineup and the big ones include five G. Five G. is an all of these new phones. There are new designs of all of the new phones more square edges looks a lot like the iphone five or the iphone four was very nice beautiful design some. Really happy to see that you've got camera tricks and you've got all new screens, new Oleg screens across the entire lineup plus your favorite anew charging configuration. Right? I am very excited. The design has a new magnet in the back. This is not visible, but it's below the surface and there's a magnetic coil and apple is now rolling out a new accessory line called MAG safe. You might remember the name from those old macbook. And these magnetic accessories will clip to the back of the phone and one of them is a new wireless charger. That apple says will be a lot faster than usual wireless charging, and of course, the big update here is five G. capability. Five networks are supposed to be the next generation networks and bring faster download speeds better connectivity. And we know investor sentiment has really reached a fever pitch in anticipation of this new phone, what are they and apple hoping this new phone can do for the company I think they are all thinking back to other quote unquote super cycles, and these were big leaps in iphone technologies whether it was big leaps in screen size or big leaps from three G.. To Four G. and there was a lot of excitement around these almost a decade ago and that really got people to upgrade in by new phones because the technological leaps were significant here we're seeing a little bit of that, but it's certainly not the leap I. think that investors or even apple thinks it is especially in five G. I've tested a lot of. Five g phones and they can be very fast but they can be pretty fast when you're in specific areas and when you're on your phone, you don't really feel those speeds. Of course, what the investors and apple are hoping is that the speeds unlock newt sorts of innovations, new types of APPs new types of technologies that run on top of it we saw. This with four G. Four G. unlocked a whole new generation of APPs things from Uber to instagram our phones could load these things faster. Now, our phones are pretty much fast enough. What are we going to do with this faster speed? That's the big question yeah, and we heard over and over again during yesterday's presentation that quote five G. Just got real you've quite. A bit of reporting on five G. Networks I wonder what's your take is five really real now for smartphone users five G. Israel and you can get it but you have to be in a very specific set of circumstances to get it. You need to have the right carrier you need to be in the right location in verizon sense you actually need to. Be Outside standing near a opole. So it is real but is not going to be very real for most users right now. So it sounds like there's a bit of a disconnect between proponents of five G. and consumers. How are we expecting to see apple and their carrier partners trying to close that gap? A Lotta this is about future proofing you have A. Five G. Phone now, and these networks start to get better and they start to get better pretty rapidly. I have to say I have seen a substantial increase in the last year last summer I had to journey to different parts of the US to get five G.. Now, I can just go to a different section of the city or a different section of. My neighborhood to try to test out five G.. So it is getting better the speeds are getting better but there are a lot of technical hurdles and there are a lot of glitches frankly, I mean, there are times when I testify g and the same exact spot and I could get blazing fast speeds, one minute, and then another minute just sort of four speeds.

Skimm'd from The Couch
Kate Upton; Model, Actress, and Founder of Strong4Me
"Welcome to skimp from the couch. I'm so excited to be here okay. So we're going to jump in Skim your resume for us. It's been a crazy awesome journey. I started modeling when I was fifteen. I am like a real adventure heart and convinced my parents Let me travel the world at fifteen and working to get yeah. I couldn't convince them to let me stay out to Oleg. I had like my big break at eighteen when I met with. MJ Day. Ah and was a part of the sports illustrated family and went to meet with and work with some of the most iconic people in the industry you know from Ana Wind Tour Tony Goodman Steven Meisel Corinne Rafael Steven Gan. It's just been an awesome journey and made me. I understand my body like I'm losing the skin part of my resume. Um made me really understand my body starting from the place ace of just being the typical model which was like skinny skinny skinny and I wasn't enjoying my life. I didn't have energy on set and I didn't have a whole life but I didn't have enough energy. Gee to go out with friends or be the best girlfriend. I could be so asserted working with Ben Bruno and we find the best way to ultimately love your body. Love your unique differences from everyone else and find your strongest bestself Matz ultimately why I wanted to launch strong for me is bring all that information to the everyday woman. So what is something that is not on your wikipedia page. We should know about you. There's a Lotta lies on I. Look Oh my God. What's the top lie that you're how did someone even make that up that I was a violin player and he's just own that for sure just I would hate to go to a party without a violin? They'd be very disappointed. Well lucky for you. Maybe not like he found while. I know you brought your sister here today and shouldn't have told us as your disturbed. So what is something. We should know about Kate. Sister did remember one thing that was on your wikipedia pedia pages that you graduated from Indiana University. which funny enough is where brother goes now? I didn't even realize that something that we should know about her. That like like no one else does. What was she an annoying younger sister? Oh Okay I was always motivated and driven and so sweet One thank you know. She did. HAVE MOM walk into school every single day. Try Yeah I mean at least fifteen into what do you mean literally until my mom was like I refuse to. IQ It'd be fifty. Yeah she's like you're embarrassing Scott. Housley I don't care where you and Marissa your mom then had to go to school every single day and like did you walk ahead while I was in college college. Yeah so yeah I mean. She's other people thought she's like come on mom. We're going to do you. I WANNA be the emotional support. Yeah I one of the most support I love just like you know having a little chat with her it has. It is one of the things that I don't often say that I have things in common with. I'm excited remodels. But before you were you. You were a competitive horseback rider. Yes and I couldn't compete but I grew up horseback riding and and love it. Yes she compete in college. I was on. I was on my college equestrian team for half a semester. So how old were you when you started competing. I think I was ten years old. When I started competing I really feel like the foundation of being around? Horses has helped me so much in my life. which is the hard work and being ready to get dirty and really put in the effort and learning about something new and the travel at winner on with competing? It's so cool at a young age that you were a pretty accomplished competitive horseback rider and then went on to have this career. Both things are very individual sports which interesting. Obviously there's a horse may have to have a connection. But how do you feel like that. Set you up to do what you went on to do. I mean I feel like it really helped because I was constantly meeting New People while traveling I was constantly out of my comfort zone in new cities. He's and competing. And then I did the same thing in modelling and I think individual sports which I've really learned from my husband is a whole different mindset. Where were you know I really had to get used to the whole team thing can be? Would you like to tell our listeners. Who Your husband is Justin Bieber Lambert? I feel like it's just a completely different mindset that I was able to fall right into and an individual sports jobs you have to represent yourself you are. You're you're only advocate and I was very used to doing that whether it was with horse trainers or judges or anybody in the industry so my modeling agencies definitely were a little shocked that a fifteen year old had as many opinions. I did especially where my career going before you were even able able to give those opinions to the agencies. You had to convince your parents that you're fifteen. You're getting literally walk to your classroom every day by your mom or your like totally really trust me to go across the world completely fine. How did you convince them to the greatest fun fact? I presented them with a five year. Plan I was like I am going to make a career out of this or go to college so I decided if I started at fifteen eighteen I was young for my grade and I could still be in my same age group going into call it a workout. Yep We're GONNA take a break from competing eating horses because it was very stressful a lot on the economy and everything and then that's when I was like great like I'll just go make my own money. Then ah I convince them and they came on a lot of jobs. My mom him down to Miami. I started in Miami with me a lot and she refused to go into my job though which was actually really great. Those probably the right. Yeah like she knew out but she was really wanted me to learn how to represent myself. If your mom's in a room you're going to depend on her we would have prep interviews or prep castings exactly how supposed to act or what I was supposed to say a walk with me so I could handle it myself and make it a career. I did she tell you to say I mean I was fifteen so from everything like how to be professional national how to respond like got into trouble like so. You're at an age where most people are in high school all but also starting to like go out and be social and you are living in an apartment with other models and your mom is there. Sometimes WHOA I was that age like for you because here you are doing something that is GonNa be the backbone into your career and you sound very driven and at the same time you are our young and beautiful and making money and living with a bunch of other girls away from your parents. What was your life like? I worked every single day and ultimately our still proving to my parents that I wasn't moving to Miami just to party so I was paying my own bills and working constantly and I always say models roles who get the reputation of partying doing drugs or either the ones not working or so rich. They're only working a few days year because otherwise you're so exhausted working working twelve sixteen hour days every single day. I remember asking to get days off when I got my period of like. I'm so tired. Tired conversations go agencies like just let us know if you need a day off. I'm like actually I need a week. I'm really curious because it is obvious. How driven you are in Daniel? Just said like clearly from your question career and into into modeling what obviously modeling is infamous for how harsh the criticism is internally. And you know this kind of striving for perfection and these ideals of perfection and we'll talk about the public criticism that you received which is ridiculous. I'm just curious what it was like for you emotionally every day at work to be told turn this way. Look this way. Don't smile like that like what did that do to you. It puts you in a different mindset mindset because suddenly you almost have to remove yourself from your body and just blackout and do what they say and it also leads. I think angrily young models to do that in their everyday life and just do what is being told of them because you can't really especially being a young model have have an opinion on set. It's it's definitely kind of a crazy mindset that puts you in a very very vulnerable place so when the outside critics came in it was so hard on me because mentally. I wasn't strong to handle when you think about you today as now a businesswoman. How do you translate those experiences at that? Young Age. Chew the businesswoman. You are today. Did it feel you did help you. compartmentalize where do you think it laid the foundation for you today. Yeah definitely only fueled me. It made me learn that I really need to speak my mind and that my opinion does matter because of all those experiences and you know there was so how many times onset when I'd be like way more efficient if they would just do this or if they would just shoot me from this angle. 'cause I already know that lightings bad it it's GonNa take three hours by would just keep my mouth shut because no one wants to listen to the model onset and now I'm like no. My time is worth something and I'm going to say it and we're going to move on. We're going to get this done right. Did you feel like you had a support system in those early years. You weren't the household name and you had those opinions. I mean my family was a huge support system for me but ultimately nobody in my family was involved in industry previously so they could only give me advice from their personal life experiences so I felt a little bit lost becoming well known it was like how do I deal with anything. Everybody was overwhelmed. No one really knew the advice to give me and then shooting the other woman cameron and Leslie gave me like just so many life lessons. That was such a fun movie to watch. I had fun and watching it and it seems like you guys had fun filming it so much fun. Filming US shade you find mentorship from Rotary with other models that were coming up at the same time or is it pretty competitive. I feel like it's not as competitive as people think because when you're a model it's up to the client. I'm maybe the only place that it gets competitive is your agents like Oh is my agent giving me those same opportunities or I should be doing this. I never felt like I was competitive. Have with other girls and you ultimately do work with other models so you become friends. You're in the same place. I mean everybody. She has jealousy but I didn't feel like it ran friendships or

Motorola Razr Brings the Flip Phone Into 2020
"We're going to focus today on one product one announcement one thing. That thing is the not a brand. New Nostalgia filled Motorola Razor. It was announced on late late on Wednesday Wednesday night. Yeah in La at a very chic. paush crazy weird events It had line diplo. That's that's kind of the with the year for the actual party part or like what you just there for the briefing with yet and I was there for the party part that I'm glad you weren't there for that because it was It was a bit of a I see well I knew what it was. GonNa I get into their I I I think I mean I'm not here to to be a pain but you know how I always say it how it is and I just feel like more read in a very good job with this event but at the phone however the thing is a different thing altogether so let's go back to two thousand four when the the Motorola Razor V. Three was announced This was not by any means the most you know the first flip phone right full nor for one thing but there were. There were standard issue in North America. At least right candy bars were more popular. In Europe like the NACCHIO's everybody loves But yeah I mean. We had flip phones everywhere. But they're all plastic you. They were thick their basic like a pebble in your pocket. And you know we kind of tolerate them for better or worse right right. And then the V. Three comes out and it's it's beautiful it's well made It's satisfying. It's it means. Something seventy gene new concept first of all. It was the first really thin phone if you opened it up. It was thinner than five millimeters or something or five ish millimeter thick at the time that was like unheard of right and then the other thing is made of medals. And last like M- materials that you didn't see in phones at the time I mean there's so some plastic like the Chin and stuff off but the front cover was glass the The the keyboard was made of this weird like laser cut stainless steel and the shelling was aluminum. So I mean it was. Wow and the name razor comes with those of you who don't know this comes from the fact that if you look at it with especially with the Chin it open from like side profile. It looks like a razor blade. That's just opened or closed right right. It looks like a straight edge razor. Exactly Yeah so fast forward six or seven years and Motorola tries this whole thing again and they come out with a a new razor in Canada at least it was just called the Motorola Razor in the US. It was a verizon exclusive called the the razor was that the DROID AJ's arrays droid Roy's razor and this was again something kind of it was. It was one of the first phones use. Kevlar it was. It was it kind of whittled down to a very thin point. Trying to hearken back to that razor design it was one of the first old led displays this it was a it was a gentile lead. which at the time was a little controversial but it was not well received it was? It wasn't fooling font it was is a very thin looking android phone right exactly but it was. It was shortly after the release of the of the DROID line And and it was meant to again. Give Motorola that brand bump but this was a very different era right. This was twenty eleven early days of Android Motorola. Rola was still a big player. Fast forward to now right. We Motorola barely in the conversation especially when it comes to flagships so so the Motorola Razor Twenty twenty. We're going to call that. Yes a flip phone. But it's also a foldable phone so when you saw this for the first time. I'm at the briefing on Tuesday. What were your initial impressions? Well so I saw the leaks I ride. Could I knew what I kind of knew what to expect. And you know leaks. I mean you know this Daniel. There's more for your audience leaks of pretty much generally on point and I- industry so if you see a leak you can pretty much you know we have some good leakers. Otheir I I was like wow. This is exactly what we saw. But like. I'm sitting in the presentations next to Michael Fisher. Mr Mobile and I'm like at first come. Yeah whatever you know he gives to understand up doing phone since about two thousand five actually since the original razor and and I get jaded you know you get like. There's a lot of hype and marketing and and you know. This came out very strong on hype when they announced the event the way they invited people very few people and all that so I was just kind of rolling is a little bit but then the presentation a really glued me and I was like wow okay so this is just not this not just fluff. This is real I in the sense that it seemed like moral really did some great design work my background's engineering and so as looking at the engineering of this engine display and how it all goes together and the head some actual engineers up there talking to us about got it and what their design choices. where I'm like? This is actually good. Like this. and Michael Kept like elbowing. Ham yellowed me and we're looking at Shiloh and like nodding going Holy Crap this is. This is just be the first folding phone that doesn't suck your doesn't fall apart when you use it. Definitely Design Choices Jason. Yeah it definitely felt like the everybody saw the leaks as you said but it felt like the expectations were exceeded especially around the fact that the phone so there has been a a sort of trend of the last few months to associate foldable phones as delicate kid. I mean the galaxy fold is the reason for that but by and large. They're made of plastic. The screens themselves basic. The hinges ages are mechanical and therefore while Samsung and wall way have said that they are going to hold up. After you know for hundreds of thousands of you've of Ben's the reality suggests otherwise and We've seen tear down by fix it and Jerry. Everything that is just how fragile these components actually are and the bravado with which Motorola came out and said this is a stainless steel phone. It's it's also a foldable phone but we don't have to baby it you don't have to worry about it falling apart in fact you can even get wet and it's not gonna it's not gonNA stop. Ah Let's be clear here. First of all this is what they claim. And what my experience touching. The phone is confirmed that the engineering is sound. At least you know. We'll we'll tell six months a year from now the water thing. I think the expectation is that they've done the best they could to water ingress. Won't hopping in the hinge. And so that is non coated like mortar. As this thing I think it's proprietary to them or maybe it isn't in this make it sound like it is but they have not according all their phones and what it is is the phone actually truly water resistant. Water can get in. But everything's quoted in this coding repels water meaning that a won't a bit of moisture during their one damage to phone. So that's what they're saying. So I think in my opinion if I'm GonNa Pitch this to someone I'm going to say. This is a splash resistant phone. Meaning you can use it in the rain and as long as it's not pouring rain you can use it. You can accidentally like you know what it real quick and as long as you drive up real fast you'll be fine you know it's non don't dunk it though that's not gonNa that's GonNa be good right so the phone the the the actual inside screen it is six point two inch plastic oleg display. It's unfolded it's it's a twenty one by nine aspect ratio skinny tall. It's similar to an experienced one or an experienced five shakespeare. Five is almost a dead ringer of it because expire five six. Point one inches. twenty-one by nine right it's I've got a bit of Basil Top and bottom so it together like that adds up to what the Chin would be on the on the razor. So it's almost a match. I think for people who don't have these phones because they're kind of rare it's the width of Pixel four non excel and a high of a pixel four xl. Okay that's a good way of putting it and and so it is just you know it opens up to being a regular size phone six point nine millimeters thin so it's it is really thin but when it's closed it's half that size at its fourteen millimeters thick thicke. Yeah so it's exactly the same thickness and height as the original razor when closed just a little wider. Basically if you know the original razor that's what you have you picture in your
