Craig Peterson: And the Uber employees we're using God mode in order to monitor celebrities, where they were going, sports people, et cetera, what they were doing and they got nailed for that. Well it turns out in the Twitterverse, they had a similar program.

[00:00:16] Hey, good morning, everybody. Craig Peterson here, and Jack and I got into not just what's happening with Apple , but the whole Twitter thing.

[00:00:27]Some interesting stuff came out over the weekend about who actually seems to have pulled this off.

[00:00:34] Jack Heath: Right now with the tech talk, a tech stock update. Craig Peterson joins a slab nano affair with friends. Good morning, Craig.

[00:00:41] Craig Peterson: Hey, good morning, Jack.

[00:00:42] Jack Heath: Hey, uh, working from home and trying to keep it secure. You have an update when it comes to Apple.

[00:00:48] Craig Peterson: Yeah. This is kind of interesting. Now Apple has been busy, of course, as they always are trying to come up with some new devices. What Apple's decided to do is solve really the worst thing about working remotely.  How do you keep that computer going all day long, all day real battery life, and the biggest complaint about the laptops.

[00:01:08]So Apple has decided to drop Intel processors. That's a very, very big announcement they made about a month ago. They're switching over to their own in-house designed processors. The new iPad pro has been clocked faster than most windows notebooks out there. They're going to be using the version of that processor in the laptop.

[00:01:33]We're expecting to see two new Macs from Apple this year using their own chip sets. No more Intel processors.

[00:01:43]Jack Heath:  I don't know. The other thing is, uh, how people, I guess today people, can you go to your own room? You have your phone, but I mean, you got these homes now with the students, I guess they're sort of schools right now so that you don't have the virtual learning going on right now, but people all trying to share that electrical outlet or their chargers, try to charge something and kind of balance it all with homes. It's sort of taken on a new meeting.

[00:02:04] Craig Peterson: Yeah, it sure has. We used to go to coffee shops that sit there and work. I think that'll start happening more. I actually have enjoyed sitting outside in my backyard and doing work, during some of the whole COVID thing and getting a little bit past the nature we live in New Hampshire.

[00:02:23] Right. You just mentioned people are moving here. Part of the beauty of it is to be out in the beauty.

[00:02:29] Then there's Twitter this week, Jack.

[00:02:31]Jack Heath: Yeah, I know the big, the big, , I, I,

[00:02:34] Justin McIssac: Craig, I heard there was, there was something like a, like, I don't know, a large amount of money. People actually fell for the scan with the, uh, the Bitcoin people hacking into major Twitter accounts and Twitter really got kind of knocked on its heels. Huh?

[00:02:48] Craig Peterson: They really did. You know, you might remember Uber and how they got nailed for the God mode. Do you remember hearing about that? A couple of years back where Uber employees could look at anybody anywhere in the world at any time that was in an Uber car. The Uber employees were using God mode in order to monitor celebrities where they were going sports, people, et cetera, what they were doing and they got nailed for that.

[00:03:15] Well, it turns out in the Twitter verse, they had a similar program, right. We've seen this over and over again, by the way, this isn't just Uber or Twitter.  They have a program that allows their contractors and employees to potentially see just about anything. In fact, there were some postings out there on Twitter showing Beyonce's page in this kind of God mode where they could see what was going on with her.

[00:03:44]What happened here, apparently, what we know right now is. Some kids did. So they took over Barak Obama's account and dozens of other high profile, celebrity types.

[00:03:57] Jack Heath: They didn't miss many people on that one. Alright.

[00:04:00] Craig Peterson: They didn't. And then they said things like, Hey, listen, we want to give back, send us a thousand dollars in Bitcoin for the next 30 minutes, we'll double it and send it back to you.

[00:04:10] And as Justin just said,

[00:04:15] Alright, sorry about that. Had a meltdown in the board. Alright. Hey Craig, we have to run. Thank you very much, Craig Peterson. Thank you very much.

[00:04:20] Should we come back?

[00:04:21] Oh my it's one of those days, right? What happens on Mondays? Everything goes wrong. Port Justin with the board. He's been, uh, he's been having a bunch of problems getting beat up on this morning too.

[00:04:32] I had the best meeting over the weekend, with a guy JJ, who maybe helping us here with producing more videos, training everything else. I am so excited about this. I've been telling you guys that I'm getting my studio redone.  I'm going to be also of course, putting out the podcast like I have been right now.

[00:04:54] So audio podcast, probably video podcasts. We're going to be trying to do these radio shows alive, my hits live and then take questions and talk about other things potentially. The words every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday mornings. So that should be kind of cool. And we'll, we'll do it. I I'm thinking on Facebook, but I don't know.

[00:05:17] I'd love to hear from you guys. See what you think the options as I understand them right now, anyways, cause I don't have the ability to do LinkedIn lives. LinkedIn hasn't allowed me for whatever reason, I just don't get that one. But, at any rate,  Facebook lives, we could do YouTube lives potentially.

[00:05:35] We could just stream this on like my own , I have my own rooms over on WebEx as well that you could get to just with the browser. You don't have to. To download a WebEx app or anything. Let me know if you guys have a preference because we can talk about this. I love to and engage with you, people, you, people about this stuff too.

[00:05:58] So let me know what you think. Just email me M [email protected] and I'm pretty darn good about getting back to people. Usually within a couple of days, give or take. So give me a break of this, particularly if I'm out of town for a week, I just don't have time to pay much attention to email, but I, I do try and always get back.

[00:06:19] All right. Everybody take care and we will be back tomorrow. Bye-bye.
