I think some of the narrative there is a bit misleading. There was this huge mural of Duke, the Sun mascot on the wall, and I’m a geek that bought Solaris X86 in high school.Īnd Shai says nobody knows the real story of the transformation from feature phones to smartphones and the reason that iOS and Android One is not so straightforward. And I had the benefit of being at the company that sort of enabled it first and I worked with the operator that was the most innovative in that regard. Mobile started as just those devices that you would use to make phone calls and turned into something else.

My guest is Shai Almog, and Shai was working at Sun’s Offices in Tel Aviv when the world started to change. Incentives change everything and I’m not the customer of the DVR maker, their customer is my cable company.Īnd today’s about that, how bad incentives can make a mess of things. They’re selling to my cable provider, not me, and I’m stuck with whatever the cable company chooses and I choose the cable company because the only one that brings fiber to my home. I feel like they have the wrong incentives. I ask it to tape jeopardy and it struggles with that and I don’t blame the people who built that software. Now I have a DVR that my cable company licenses from who knows where and it sucks. Apparently everybody loves Ghostbusters and you could just thumbs up shows you liked and thumbs down ones you didn’t and it would find similar shows and tape them for you. The first night we plugged it in, it started taping Ghostbusters right away. They weren’t available in Canada yet and it blew our minds. In 2010, my girlfriend, now wife and I got a TiVo, the DVR, off eBay from the States. Each episode is the story of a piece of software being built. Hi, this is CoRecursive and I’m Adam Gordon Bell.
