100th Episode Spectacular

and laughing under the table is senior writer Jonathan Stricklin. Hey, there, guess what what Today marks are one hundredth episode who and we have something special for you guys today, something that one of our listeners sent in. Hit it. Tyler, Congratulations, Tech Stuff. You've made it to a hundred episodes. You never thought it would get this fubb Man didn't we hope. So what's gonna be funny about listen to text stuff

in a hundred years. It's all the problems that we had and we tried to solve it with thy phones and text stuff showed us how to access my Tude store, showed me how to run inti virus, stuffware in bit, toured many more. That's why it's important to listen to every text of episode and think John and Chris for making it so it's a hundred APIs so a hundred episode? Yeah? Thank you? Wow, that was really cool, wasn't it. That's

pretty awesome. So that was from James Meyer, host of The Rare Podcast, who wrote that song just for us for this hundredth episode. Awesome. Yeah, fantast We've been immortalized

in song. That's a little scary. Yeah, it's a little frightening and it So Chris and I were debating what did we want to do for the hundredth episode, you know, what would really be special to do the hundredth episode of Tech Stuff, And ultimately we came to the conclusion that what would be really special is to do an episode that didn't require us to do any research whatsoever,

and that what you're getting. So we wanted to talk a little bit about kind of kind of ourselves, our stories about how we got interested in tech Now, it may surprise you to know that that neither Chris nor myself really joined How Stuff Works with the intention of being technical writers. Correct, Yeah, that's that's true. At the time that what we came on board, Um, we didn't really specialize in anything in particular. We wrote about anything and everything, which was cool and that was that was

a lot of fun. But as we started to grow, it became apparent that it would really behoove us too to specialize in various categories on and we're talking across the board, all the different writers and to that way kind of build our expertise in these different subjects. And it turned out that Chris and I were the two who were not afraid of technology speak for yourself, but Josh and Chuck scared to death of her. You should. I mean, Josh he quivers when he turns his power

button on on his computer. I mean, it's you know, it's a site to behold. But no, seriously, we we actually both love technology, and so it was it was a pretty good fit. I mean, it was again one of those things where for a second, it was intimidating because there's a whole lot of tech. Yeah, there's an awful lot of tech and it changes all the time. Yep, yep,

just switched on us. So so we were both a little uh, you know, we we were excited and a little anxious, and it turned out to be a great fit actually, because that led to the Tech Stuff podcast, which also led to the tech stuff blogs, and here we sit getting to talk about some of the coolest stuff on the face of the planet as far as I'm concerned. All right, so we're gonna talk about some of our favorite tech and some stories that about how we got involved in technology and and led up to

our careers. I suppose. Alright, then, so you want to start, Um, sure, Um, you know, my dad was a mechanical engineer, and UM, you know he was. He's always been a real gadget nut. And UM, I think that's sort of carried over, you know, osmosis if you will. Um. And uh. I actually got my first computer when I was in junior high school, which in the school system I was in was ninth grade, was in junior high school, and it was unsurprisingly an Amiga Amiga one thousand, which was the very first Um.

And well, you know I would have if I had gotten a PC, I would have been using Doss so seriously. UM, but we Uh, instead of going with the at R E S T or the Mac, we actually went with the Amiga. And I was an Amiga user for many years. Um. That's the basics on my my tech background. And of course, you know, there were many many gadgets and gizmos and do flag. I'm sure. I'm sure we'll hit some of them as we talk. So that was your sort of the genesis for you. Yeah, it was my first computer,

all right. Well for me, my parents are authors. Um, my father has been a published author for many many years and has written several science fiction novels. So science, gadgets, technology, all of that sort of thing held you know, he had had a fascination with all of that as well.

So in our family, we decided that we needed a computer, mainly so that my father could write and uh not have to type everything out on on paper and you know, curse every time there was a a mistake, and and you know I had to go and retype an entire page as opposed to you know, just hitting a little backspace but in a couple of times and typing in another key. So our first computer technically was a Texas instrument computer. Wow. Yeah, I used to hunt the wumpus.

But um, the first computer where we actually had what I would call a computer computer. And this is not to offend you Texas instrument fans out there, please don't write to me, was the Apple to E and the Apple to Apple two E was really meant for my dad to uh to be able to write his books, you know. But we also managed to get a few games, and that pretty much sold it for me. Once I found out that this machine also let you play stuff, I was hooked. And so the Apple two E was

kind of my introduction. Yeah, Jonathan, the the anti Mac guy. My first computer was the Apple two e UM and I'm not really anti Mac. I We always go on about this because a reader once said that I had an anti Mac bias, and so I find it very funny and I like to bring it up. But yeah, that was my intro, was the Apple t E. And uh, I'll be talking a little bit more about that as well, I guess to this conversation. So we're just gonna talk about some other kind of tech things, stuff we like,

stuff that kind of shaped us. So you got anything else you want to add before I jump into another one of my stories, No, go ahead? Oh you want me to go ahead? All right? Okay, Well here we go. One of the first games that I got for the Apple to E was the was Ultimate too, all right. I never had the first Ultimate Game or a Calabath. I've never had either of those until much, much, much later.

But Ultimate Too was an interesting game. First of all, I was interested in role playing, so the old Dungeons and Dragons games and stuff like that, because I was a complete geek even back then. And uh and Ultimate two was of course a a computer role playing game. It was a single player game, and you went through

the game as an adventurer trying to kill the bad guy. Um. Because my dad writes science fiction, I got to go to a convention where Richard Garriott, a k a. Lord British, the guy who invented the Ultimate series, was there, and we were invited to go to a party. Helped this name dropping city right here. We went to a party held by Gary Gygax, the founder of one of the co creators of Dungeons and Dragons. Richard Garriott was also at this party. I talked to him briefly and said,

I really like this game, Ultimate Too. I had played Ultimate four because a friend of mine had it, but I only had the second one. Richard Garriot said, oh, well, I have a copy of the the first build of Ultimate five. It's not ready to go to market yet, but if you want to play test that you can, and that was what sealed the deal, right there, was getting to the the idea of getting to play something before anyone else. You know, that really appealed to my

sense of ego. So I really enjoyed that, and uh I became an Ultimate fan ever since. So I was a big, big Ultimate fanboy. Um. So yeah, I would say that the Ultimate Series, especially the way that he incorporated the sense of morality in those games, which was very different from any games that came before it, where where you really were just a hack and slash kind

of you know, killing machine. Really in those early adventure games, the Ultimate Series, where you became the avatar, you actually had to make moral choices and if you made the wrong ones, you weren't gonna win the game. So it was pretty cool, you know. I I admit I've never actually played in the Ultimate Series. O you poor deluded food. That's amazing that you've gotten through life this this way. But I did play Leather Goddesses of Phobos. Oh okay,

well then all right you a moral fool. Um. Well that's awesome, awesome text based adventure yep, yep, so I I you know, I remember playing some of those games back in the day too. I remember playing Zurich and Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, those great tech spased games. Yeah, yep, yep. But you know, there have been other tech things over the course of the years that sort of fell in love with. It's us thinking about something a little more recent. Um,

the hand Spring Visor. Wow. Yeah, actually was one of the few Handspring owners. For you, those of you who don't have any idea what I'm talking about, that these things called p d A s they came out before smartphones. I know, it's hard to believe. Um. The the Palm Group, actually some of the people who founded it broke off

because they wanted to do their own thing again. Um. They created a company called Handspring and they licensed the Palm operating system and the very first one they came out with was the Visor UM and it had an expansion slot where you could plug in cartridges and other

uh neat expansions that would help your visor do other things. UM. I didn't really have any of that, but it was my first p d A and found out how useful it is to organize your calendar where you could just write stuff down and you know, you got it at home. You've got it at work, you can sink your computers. Very useful. And then later on they went on to build these you know, earliest smartphones called the Trio, and then they got gobbled back up by Palm, so that's

where they are now. But it was my my first introduction to the smartphone p D a world uh it minded nemophone. But you know the technology to this in smartphones now, Chris, I gotta ask you, okay, did you before the Worldwide Web? Were you one of the folks who would log into bolton boards and things like that. No, you know, I didn't use bulletin boards, which probably surprises you a little bit. It does surprise me a little bit.

But when I was in college, I did. Uh. I did dial into the VAX on our on our college campus. So I was logging into the main frame direct. For those of you, again who don't know what I'm talking about, UM, this was a very large mainframe computer um that digital equipment made before they were gobbled up by you know, Compact and then HP. UM. You know, I had where I used to go to the computer lab. I didn't go to the mac lab. I actually went to the

VAX lab. So you know, basically giant dumb terminals with the green light on the black screen. So the time sharing model. Yeah, nice, nice. Yeah. I used to log into bolden boards to do to play games and things like that, various again, mostly role playing games of some sort. I remember there's a science fiction based one that I enjoyed quite a bit. Uh. Do you remember the first time you you discovered the world Wide Web? Um? I don't remember the very first time for me. What's easy

because it was freshman year of college. So see when I when I started using the the Internet, I wasn't really using the web. I was using mostly chat and email, right, yeah, I was. I was using tel Net quite a bit too, to log into chat rooms and things like that. But then, UM, I remember being in the computer lab at my college and looking over and seeing someone looking at something on the computer that had graphics on it, and I was wondering what it was, and he said, this is a

worldwide Web And I said, what's that? Because, of course this is back before that was really gotten around quite a bit, and uh was pretty young, and and uh, I did build a web page. And back in those days, of course, the way you built a web page was that you had a an editor where you were essentially editing things in uh in in text, and then you would save it um to wherever the host was, and you would then open up your browser and check it out and see how it looked, and then realize that

everything was wrong and quit all of your browser. Open your editor again, go back and tweak a few things, save it, upload, go back, open up the browser. You did this over and over and over again until it looked right. And of course, when I say looked right, folks, these pages look horrible, all right. You gotta imagine, Okay, some some really really crappy tiled background image, some clip art type uh images along there a MIDI file playing and a loop in the background. The blink tag. Now,

the blink tag. I think I had a blink tag. I did have a minifile playing rule Britan Tanya over and over and over again. Yeah. I was one of those lame people who made a really really bad web page. I think I've seen that web page. You probably have, or it was one of the Essentially, if you look at any web page that any college student made in that's a pretty good indicator of what I built. It

was hideous. But you know what, it was so interesting to be able to create something where not only were you able to to publish your work, but essentially millions and millions of people had access to it. And suddenly that was when I realized, this is an amazing tool where a single person can reach a huge audience. When before, you know, you had to have a monster kind of

organization backing you to be able to do that. You had to be able to to become a published writer or a journalist of some sort in order for that many people to get a look at what you had to say. The Web suddenly made it possible for everyone to be that. Yeah. Now, of course that means that you get some incredible writer who otherwise would never be discovered, and you also get the crazies who you wish you

had never discovered. It's you know, catch all. Really, you know, it's funny because I was I was just out of college, and um, they I signed up for a local internet service provider and they asked me if I wanted my own domain name, and I really didn't understand what that meant. Um, you know, because I'd been on a dot etu and I figured out while I'm on a dot net now, and it doesn't you know, I don't why would I want my own domain name? Now, I'm thinking back to

all of the domain names I could have squatted on. Wow, yeah, nobody knew what what was going on, and no one, no one had any There were very few people who were able to jump on that very quickly and and say, you know, this is gonna be huge. I'm guessing that a bunch of companies are gonna get involved in this, and therefore I should make sure I get Coca Cola dot com. Ye, except at that point, they weren't eight for a dot com. They were I don't even know,

probably hunt of dollars for a domain registration. They would have taken six weeks to process in all sorts of stem right right, And there's no guarantee that you would actually be able to squat on and sell it, you know, because some some companies were strong enough to be able to muscle them away. So but still, you know, I was thinking about I was going to ask you what

your first video game console was. My first video game console, Well, if you don't count the the Pong game that we had where it had the you know, eight different versions of the same pong game. Uh, you would it would have to be the a yeah, yeah, which not counting my Calico Telstar, which had uh, handball, tennis and I think hockey on it. It's very very subtle variations of Pong. Yeah, it was essentially the same thing I had, and I

just don't remember what the brand was anymore. Yeah, but yeah, and yes, yes, we have joked about in the past. I really did own et. Yeah, and it was terrible. I still have all my games. Mine were given away to a younger cousin. Ah, I see, and then of course, uh, you know, I actually skipped awhile, I skipped the whole Nintendo thing and then went, you know, we got the Sega Genesis. It's funny I owned, now that I think about it, more consoles as an adult, you know, the

GameCube and the Wii and the PlayStation two. I still like to get a PlayStation three in an Xbox three sixty. So let's see, I'll go through mine. I had the Attar twenty s after it was already dead. I got the Intellivision. Like the Intellivision works, but there were no more games coming out. Yeah, I got a big collection of games when I got the Intellivision and a big collection of the little plastic inserts that you would put in the controller. Um, the two did not necessarily match.

There was some overlap, but there were. It was so frustrating because there were I had games where I didn't have the insert and I wasn't really sure what buttons did what until lots of trial and error, and then I had inserts that like they were for a really awesome game, but I didn't have the game. So I had the twice six hundred, the in television and then again skipping quite a bit because I skipped the Nintendo

era as well. Uh then let's see, Oh, I got a PlayStation one, and then I got a Nintendo sixty four, and then a GameCube, and then the Xbox and then the PS two and then the Dreamcast. I got late, but it was awesome and uh, LOUI, So I think that's all of them. I don't think I missed any Um, I left out the game Boy Boy, had a game Boy Advance, and now we have a DS, which very well fancy schmancy. Yeah no, I don't have a d

s um. Yeah, I know what happened for me was that I went from the Atari and essentially in television later, which I kind of inherited from another cousin my family. We give give technology to our younger cousins, I guess, um. But I went from the Atari to computer games, and then I became a computer game snob because I just thought that the games on the computers were so much more sophisticated than the console games at the time that

I did not want to go back to consoles. It wasn't until we reached the point where in order to play video games you had to upgrade your video card every six months or else you couldn't play them anymore. That's when I was like, you know what, I'm going back to consoles because you don't have to do that with them. Yeah that's true. Yeah, that's true because they you know, uh forces them to stay stick to the

the specs. They don't have a choice. Right. Um. Let's see, so any particular software he did, because I was I was thinking about the different tools that we've used. I mean there's stuff like Microsoft Office, which you know, other than maybe power Point, I don't really have a problem with, but it's not exciting, and you know, stuff that I really like see a lot of the software that I like right now or we're talking are like cloud applications

like Google Docs. I love Google old docs because as a writer, I also write outside of my job here. I write fiction occasionally, and Google Docs lets me upload things and that way I can access it wherever I don't necessarily have take my computer with me. If if there's going to be a computer wherever I go, I

can access it. And it also allows me to collaborate with other writers, which and in a much easier way than than the traditional way where you would write and write and write and then email it to someone and then they would make changes and then email it back, and then you don't have to make sure that you had the most recent version of the documents so that you didn't accidentally change something from an older version and skip out on all the changes that have been made

since then. And Google Docs made it so much easier. Yeah, you know, writing is one of those funny things because really all you need is a pen and paper or you know, you could use it. You know, it's your simple text program to do that, you know, the one that comes to your computer or word or Open office

or something like that. UM. I like Scrivener for mac us ten um for those of you who are interested in doing fiction writing, because it actually comes with a corkboard kind of thing we can actually make uh you know, I guess virtual note cards and sort of plan out what you're doing with It's kind of neat. Um. It's from a small company called Literature and Latte, which is um pretty interesting. UM. Let's see, and you know, I

sort of picked on Office just a minute ago. But there is one segment of the you know, Microsoft productivity software that I really like, um, and that's one note because it is a really neat notebook program that lets you, you know, keep notes and things. And the reason I like that, uh compared to other systems is you know, you can search stuff in your notes and it's also

got sort of a tabbed notebook thing. Uh. You can put check check boxes next to things if you're taking notes in a in a meeting and check stuff off as you go through. It's kind of handy to have, and um, you know it's it's not an expensive addition. As a matter of fact, I think it now comes with Office. I'll I haven't bought a copy of Office and quite some time. Um well, I was going to also mention um a gadget that I simply could not live without my iPod. Oh yeah, definitely talking about Apple

lovers all right now. My iPod is not my first MP three player. I used to have a creative zen and I had an old one which was felt like it was made out of cast iron because it was a heavy, heavy lift device, held a lot of songs and it was great. Did not have video capability, just had a simple, you know, monochromatic screen. But I loved it in that I suddenly had the ability to carry thousands of songs with me. And then I got an iPod Classic with the eighty gig drive, and um yeah,

it's awesome. Yeah, I will never I can't imagine filling it up. I mean I have a pretty big music collection, not as big as I mean. There are people who was there like, yeah, I've got twenty five thousand songs on this No, no, I've got a fraction of that. But the fact that I can carry the entire Ramons discography with me is awesome. And also because it's the Ramonest, you can listen to their entire discolo graphy in about twenty seven minutes three four. But yeah, that I couldn't

live without it. Actually, uh, it wasn't so long ago. Well, actually it's approaching a year now, and I think about it. UM upgraded my twenty gig four g iPod too, an iPod touch first g Um, you know, the one without the physical volume nob anyway, the one before the one my wife got right, right, But I still love it, um because you can run applications on it too. But you know, of course, I had several portable cassette players,

of one of which my brother ran over with a lawnmower. Um, and brothers are wanting to do exactly and uh, disc mand or Discmand's I don't know. But my transition to the MP three world was not an MP three player per se. It was the Sonic Blue Rio Bolt, which was a CD player that you could use with regular CDs or it would read data CDs with m P

three's on. So I had my music collection on MP three's burned onto c d s, which is actually kind of nice because then you didn't have to have you know, your whole library with you could you know, boil it down to six or eight c s and you know, it's not nearly as much. Of course, that actually got upgraded when somebody broke into my house and stole it from me, so I didn't have to worry about you know. And then I had to go, well, you know, and

I need something so well. You know. What was interesting was that before I got an iPod, I was not the biggest fan of iTunes. I found it difficult to use. And then I got an iPod and I said, oh no, I get it because it works so well with this hardware. And I love iTunes now because I use iPod and um and it works pretty well. Uh So I enjoyed

that quite a bit. And I love to be able to listen to other podcasts, um besides you know our own example, for example, all the other house stuff works dot com podcasts, Yes, those are excellent stuff of genius. Is you know what it's the stuff of genius? YEA A great one. And it's and it's one of the newer ones. Yes it is HTCG one. Okay, get that out. That's the other device I couldn't live without, he blurted, my HTC G one Android phone, which I love, oh

so dearly, very nice. Oh it's a fantastic phone. I mean, I know there are people who do not like the form factor because they think it's a little clunky, it's a little too thick, um and that the screen is not quite as big as the iPhone screen. And I can understand that, I I but for my own part, I don't. I don't really look for sexy sleek in

my electronics. I look for function first, and if the function is there and it's really strong, I can overlook a little clunkiness or or you know, make think it doesn't matter that's so thick and um. And I also

love the physical keyboard word. And I've heard that with the I the iPhone, that the touchscreen keyboard that a lot of people pick up on it eventually, like you you hit a plateau for a while, um, as you are learning to type on it and get faster and faster, and then all of a sudden, it's like the light comes down from heaven and you are suddenly able to type at at full speed. Um. But the nice thing about the HDCG one is I was able to type poole speed when I opened it. Well that's yeah, that's

a positive. Yes. So, um, are there any gadgets that you wish you could get the Palm Pre Okay, I would like the Palm Pre just to get a look at the darn thing and get my hands on and play around with it. Palm PREA would love to get my hands on that. I would love to get my hands on the on live game system. Um. I want to try that out and see if if this cloud gaming model really is all that it's cracked out to be.

I mean, it sounds like it's gonna be awesome. I mean it sounds like the idea of other computers handing all the processing powers of mind doesn't have to I love that idea. I still think it's gonna have some latency issues. Yeah, that's what I'm worried about. Two. So I really want to try that out. Um, what else? Kindle too? Oh yeah, I would love to have a Kindle too. I'm actually kind of interested in the larger, the Kindle d X. Yeah, I think that might be

a little well. I mean, the Kindle d X looks like could be interesting as well, but uh, for my my own purposes, I really just Kindled too would be fine. You know. So if if if a listener is just thinking this poor guy doesn't have a Kindle too. I gotta get him a kindle too. You know what, that's very sweet of you. The address is I guess I shouldn't do that, right, Um? Yeah, I actually my wish list of stuff I'd just like to get my hands on, sadly and includes some an HDTV and surrounds him since

I still don't have the home theater. I have that, but I no longer have cable, and I don't have and I don't have a GPS of any kind. Oh wow, gosh, so they don't have an iPhone. I've got an iPod Touch. Also for those listening, Plette has not seen some very important movie all right that has nothing to do with tech. But he needs those movies to watch on his HDTV and surround sound once he gets them, because otherwise I make jokes from young Frankenstein and he stares at me

and wonders what I just said. You think I'm just saying. I also would like to get my hands on an electronic set of D drums or being a percussionist. Um, I've always wanted to mess around with a set of electronic drums. Um. Yeah, they actually do that, they do um, and I just have not alesis also now that you mention it. UM just do not have the wherewithal actually

the the available mad money available to do that. Um. And there's there's other stuff I'd love to fool around with, some software like that, like Mathematica, you know, just to plug stuff in and see what happens, but it's kind of a pricey, you know, Illustrator pro tools, just to you know, fool around with it. But you know when you're doing that. Oh, there is a freeware version of something called Inkscape, which works cross platform including Mac and Lennox,

um end Windows. UM that is very like Illustrator, you know, so every once in a while getting there and play around. I'm not much of a designer, but I like to play one on uh my own version of TV which involves no one watching. Uh. TiVo is something else that I thought was really cool. And uh XM radio. Those are totally gadgety gizmoe things that you know, it's hard to live without. Once Pandora, Pandora, Pandora Love Pandora. Yep, ye, I'm I'm petering out here. Yep, I'm running out of

stuff I love. And generally when you say that, it means that it's time for listener made you know for a second I was going to start making up more tech stuff just to avoid hearing that sound. Wow, deja do. Today's listen email comes from Humble Floyd, who's a truck driver and wanted to comment on our CB Radio podcast. Do you remember our CB Radio podcast? Chris? I do remember our CB Radio podcast. It was a great podcast

about CB radios, wasn't it. It was? Yeah. The funny thing was, we got a lot of comments about this particular podcast, which surprised me because it was sort of old tech. Yeah. Actually quite a few people wrote in and uh, we are planning on doing a podcast about HAM Radio in the future because a lot of people said that they were interested in him. Are you thinking about it? All right? You know, lunch time was you know, a couple of hours ago, Chris, So stick with me here, alright, alright,

we're through the home stretch. So Humble Floyd had a few things to say about our CB Radio podcast, and he was very positive and very thankful for it. So thank you, Humble Floyd. I love the email. It's a long one, so we're just gonna mention a couple of points here for one thing. He said that it is legal to build your own CB radio or any HAM radio to FCCS specifications, So it does have to be an UH certificate FCC transmitter according to the FCC. But

other than that, apparently you can build one. Okay, I guess we sit corrected. But um he points out that's cheaper to actually buy one, because they range from about thirty bucks to three bucks. That that sort of isn't unusual I think in the world of tech. And he also mentions that that you aren't supposed to boost it, but most people end up boosting it too, so that the signals go ten to twenty five miles because the FCC doesn't actually enforce it, so it is still technically illegal,

but people do it anyway. And then ums, not unusual on the world er tech, Right, Yeah, if you're not getting caught for it, people are doing it. So then he pointed out a couple of other things about the antenna. You mentioned also that um a license was required at one time, but no longer. And then he had this lovely little message that I wish to share with everyone.

Break one nine westbound you out a full grown and a plain brown wrapper taking pictures from the middle of the yardstick too oh one, gator on the zipper on the on the chicken coop is locked up, and take a look at the seat cover and the white chow. You at your front door, Come on, hey, what do you leave behind you? I probably put the wrong pauses in there and everything. Here's what that means. A break is breaking into the transmission. Breaker is only used in

the movies. As I sit corrected myself. A State trooper or d O T cop in an unmarked car is in the median with a radar or laser gun at mile post two oh one. There's a tire tread on the white line at the one nine eight. The State scale way station is closed, and there's a woman worth looking at just in front of you. Please come back with info on the road in front of me. That would be a very useful message to receive. Indeed, lovely scenery. Thank you so much, Humble Floyd. That was That was

fantastic email and we greatly appreciate it. And guys, just keep the email coming because it's um. It's really helping us out with knowing what you want to hear, and we love to hear from our listeners. You can write us tech stuff at how stuff works dot com, and you can learn all about technical things and gadgets, electronics and computers and stuff that Chris and I like at how stuff works dot com. We will talk to you

again another hundred times really soon. For more on this and thousands of other topics, visit how stuff works dot com and be sure to check out the new tech stuff blog now on the how stuff Works homepage. Brought to you by the reinvented two thousand twelve camera. It's ready, are you
