And probably not on Friday. All right, so speaking of non-responses, we've got a couple things this week. Was that so? Yeah, a little bit. I got to try. We got a blog post. I was talking about the nonprofit starter pack. We have. a little mini review of Salesforce Touch and the Touch app. Not our pick of the week, and we'll talk about that. Now we have some earnings from Salesforce. Now we have some Google news or some Google comparison news. And then we'll do our CloudFocus app picks of the week. This is getting up there in one of my most...

03:54 Jason Atwood: Expensive picks I'm getting there.

Justin Edelstein: Yeah So I had some expensive ones in the past. I mean my pick last week was 400. That's true. That's true It's sitting here right next

Jason Atwood: To me my little mini This is something that some people don't even don't even have that they don't consider it value So we'll see if we'll see what we've named it yet your mini.

We'll send you something Okay, we'll send you something Okay, trying to get us on track here Name the male guy. Let's let's just do it our blog post nonprofit starter packs Love it right or leave it.

Jason Atwood: Love it or leave it not up on the blog today We'll probably up either there by the time you hear this maybe you're Friday. Yeah, blog.arcasinc.com Written by one of our newer bloggers and someone who knows the nonprofit starter pack very very well Yep, for those of you unaware and I can imagine Salesforce obviously has a entire Foundation where they give away licenses to nonprofit 501c3 profits. They give away 10 and basically a little grant. Ten free licenses. Ten free licenses, enterprise.

Justin Edelstein: And a nice, nice discount on top of anything additional. Yeah, for most things, not all things.

Jason Atwood: Pretty much everything. There's certain things I thought were more... No. Yeah. Anyway, so then they have this thing that's actually been grown over the years. I saw it probably six years ago, and then I just recently was playing with it actually yesterday. And it's a you know a set of applications Kind of bundled up that can install in your org and change a lot of stuff and make it more Make your salesforce instance much more nonprofit, you know friendly so opportunities become donations, you have a concept of householding, you have organizations, and you have lots of stuff in there that's just. happening that you know, you're like, what? How?

Justin Edelstein: Billiation, recurring donations, relationships, payments, which happens to be my favorite memberships. My favorite feature is payments. She's gonna throw that out there. It's new. You throw it, you let someone else catch you. It's new. It's within the last year or two. They came out with a payments module that was absolutely necessary with a payment scheduler. Really cool. I really like it. That's my favorite and I think Stacey here mentioned that as her favorite thing. Love it. The relatively new payment object. Yes, pretty awesome.

07:06 Jason Atwood: So she breaks it down into leave it take it or leave it Love it or need it Something that's not there. So anyway, it's about it. I don't want to you know, you can go read the blog post It's kind of listed all the features. That's great But I mean, yeah, so my experience as someone who barely deals with the nonprofit startup pack I went in to set up a local PTA My PTA, the Parent Teacher Association for our school, which I'm the new treasurer of, so I was doing my duty. I got them the free licenses. I went through that, regular moral. It's actually pretty easy. You just have to find paperwork, which is hard to find. You just need paperwork. Yeah, and they give it to you, you get in there, and I can totally see how if you don't know what you're doing, meaning.

Jason Atwood: Even I, who's someone who's been around Salesforce, I don't know, 12 years or so, do some things. I was like, well, because I, I understand from a PTA and how we raise money, but interesting trying to fit it into this sort of object scheme of which I'm very familiar with, but it was renamed and changed and definitely some, there's a, there's a, there's a learning curve and kind of going, oh, choices that you need to make. Yes, certain things like how donations are brought in do you want to go?

Justin Edelstein: One-to-one versus individual all sorts of different choices that are required to be made around They've done such a good job over the last Two years I would say of taking all those settings and making screens for them because those things things used to be just like buried. Some of them weren't even settings. So like, like, now they have nice roll ups. They have setting screens for households, setting screens for like naming conventions, leaving things, putting things into households, taking things out of households. Really nice. It's, it's, it's gotten a whole lot better over the last couple of years. And there's actually a really, really lively Google group. around it. The MPSP group. You can find that. You can subscribe to it, participate in it. I know that she'll be happy I'm mentioning her.

Justin Edelstein: Judy is a very, very big member of that group and I actually get the...

Jason Atwood: Email the daily email subscription of the group just to see what's going on So so a little back up on it so the nonprofit starter pack is maintained by Salesforce Yes, it is a managed package managed package maintained by Salesforce Okay, and in terms of the features is not tied to any release. They don't do no release cycles I have their own release cycle.

Justin Edelstein: Okay, and Recently they've allowed you to upgrade your packages.

Jason Atwood: Do they have their own idea exchange where you can go in and vote on stuff? There is a nonprofit specific topic.

Justin Edelstein: So you know how you tag ideas? You can tag something. Okay.

Jason Atwood: So anyway, I find it is for some nonprofits is obviously key to the, business when I was setting up this little PTA who has no did everything in paper I kind of had this feeling like I'm bringing a sledgehammer to putting an attack on the wall. Well you are. Yeah. Which in some ways is nice, but when I sat there in the meeting and I kind of, I pulled my computer around and I showed them, I built one dashboard, but it was the goal, the goal of the year with the, you know, the thing going up to our goal for fundraising and showed them and they were like, wow. You know, going from, they had no clue what's going on. on. You know, these guys don't even collect email addresses. So to this, we're jumping way over.

10:32 Jason Atwood: So anyway, if you're a nonprofit of any size, realize that you can use this. I would say you need to invest some time, if you're going to set it up yourself, to learn about it, to read about it. I was also set, while it's one big starter pack, it is.

Justin Edelstein: Four or five or six separate packages that you don't have to install all of them well it comes with all of them and then you can uninstall them get rid of a few of them okay like there's a few i i never use like i don't i don't like the relationship thing that they have yeah i like the affiliation one that affiliations is great yeah we use that at arcus yep because it's its own package i actually extended it Did you yeah, I put in why put

Jason Atwood: In some time based stuff and I did some little stuff in our work Alright, well next up is something that's absolutely neat Which is the is it now? Yeah, so we've been talking about Salesforce touch for a while Touch is something that was announced. I think almost a year ago, right? It was announced at Dreamforce last year, so that's over a year ago. They went into Pilot, we got a Pilot version of it, Beta version of it sometime in the spring. And then it went GA in winter 2013. That's right, it was now GA. And they put out an app, so what it is, Salesforce Touch is a rewrite of the interface in HTML5 and then building around the concept that you're using a tablet. should be able to work on any device and it has no, well it should be able to.

Jason Atwood: In theory, no, no, I'm saying in theory. In the future. In the future. It's HTML5 meaning you're writing it for, you're writing it for the browser. Event, you know, any browser that should be able to run it. Now, that being said, HTML5 is very, very, I wouldn't say, it's both new and it's also very intense, meaning it takes a lot because it's based in newer technologies, it takes a lot of processing power. So this is why people say, well, why do you keep upgrading computers? You just use a browser. Well, because the browser is doing a lot of work. It's not just rendering HTML4 or HTML3 tables anymore, bold and H1s. It's actually rendering, doing logic and code and stuff like that. So. So. Browsers now are getting tested by their JavaScript ability. So my guess is that this, and the reason it only runs on iPads, I think right now, is because iPad 2 and up.

Jason Atwood: IPad 2 and up, right, is because it is very intense.

Justin Edelstein: Although it does work on the original iPad. You tried it.

Jason Atwood: So, you've been playing around, so they announced an app,

Justin Edelstein: Which is basically just Safari... Yeah, you go into the iTunes App Store or the App Store on your device and you can download an app called SF Touch and it's Salesforce Touch wrapped in an application and... It's basically the same as just going, if you're touch enabled, as going to the website on the browser of the iPad. It is slow. I'm just going to throw that out there. It's slow. It takes a while to load, just load the app. And then once the app is loaded, it takes a while to load things within the app. So, it's also just a little confusing to me. why there are some tabs available but other tabs are not so chatter is like the star of the show right course the first tab is chatter then there's a tasks tab and it defaults to today I guess things that are due today But I can't look at just like I want like those task views like today and overdue or all open and I can't see that and I don't even know how to get to it from here.

14:22 Justin Edelstein: I'm not sure I can. Then there's four more tabs, accounts, opportunities, contacts, make total sense, right? And then the last one projects and that I don't understand. because projects is a custom object we've talked about we capture projects in our org it's a tab but I've got other tabs that are custom objects and I don't see those here in myBassales first touch and I understand- I understand why one shows up and all the others don't, yeah.

Jason Atwood: Show up for me so I'm thinking it doesn't even show up for you. I think it's something that you have yeah. I don't even I didn't set anything so maybe.

Justin Edelstein: The other thing that I find kind of again this is total. Mean it's not beta. This is GA. So so I feel like it's okay to take off the gloves Yeah a little bit like if this was still like beta, please don't hurt me. I would that's hammer by the way. Yeah. Well. Yeah, he was busy like there's you know you load an account it has These little buttons here for details, which is the accounts actual details It has like an actions list where I can edit or create a new task. I can click on the chatter tab, it shows all the chatter. And then I can click on related. I have a drop down that, that asks me what kind of related things do I want to see, but then I can't create a new related item, which I find odd.

Justin Edelstein: Like I can create a task, which is a related item. But I'm looking at my list of contacts related to an account, and I can't add a new one. Okay. So I'm here, so I guess I would have to jump out of the accounts tab into the contacts tab. I can create a new contact. And then I don't know the interface is just it's just a little Not not great. It's not great. It's really not it's not what I was hoping for It looks like an iPad app. I'll give Matt. Yeah, it looks like a mobile app. It's slick, but in all Reality, I will be just going to Salesforce calm login dot salesforce calm and logging in on Safari Because I can get around a lot faster. I can do everything on there. And I can do everything I want to do.

Justin Edelstein: I can't do everything I want to do in this version. That is GA. It is live. Here it is production.

Jason Atwood: Yeah, but it's... Alright, to take the other side of it. They're not saying this is hate. This is live and it's A, taking over something else. I don't know, you sit there in those keynotes and you watch.

17:25 Justin Edelstein: No, keynotes aside. Keynotes aside. Keynotes aside is not fair.

Jason Atwood: No, because they're saying in the keynote, here's a new feature we have. They never said, you're going to give up sales force and not use it. And that's the sales cloud.

Justin Edelstein: No, they didn't do that. And that's the mobile cloud. Watch someone sign something. I mean, that's where I get a little. on.

Jason Atwood: Yeah, it's your old friend. All right, let me talk about it a little bit. So I've actually been using it for five months. Well, I've been using it since they... I too, it's not my go-to at all. I in fact would never really use it other than to show it to someone like, hey look, this is where they're going. It's got a lot of stuff that needs to happen. It's too slow, first of all. Anything that makes data slower or interface slower, I know it's doing a lot of work. part. We'll see you next week. I'm I don't really like the navigation of it. I don't like the way things are hidden and like how Sort of again part of is probably getting used to it. I much rather use the Salesforce The Salesforce labs force force pad.

Jason Atwood: I think they call it now which allows you to get access to everything and it's actually a It's a viewer of all data, but you can get everything and it kind of will range a little bit better Or just log into the app so while I get it I get where they're coming from and where they're going I like the concept behind it It has a long way to go and it kind of just struggles with me like Because the salesforce app when you log in on your mobile isn't bad. It's very good. It's close. It needs some help if you're gonna use it on mobile. It needs to be a little bit bigger. Things need to be a little bit... There's just ways that you interact when certain like... there's a lot of sites I use like you know like fantasy sites and stuff like that and I noticed like drop downs when you try to hit a drop down, a dynamic drop down, things like that don't work.

Jason Atwood: It's just stuff like that you have to think about when you design it but I feel like... I guess I just don't understand why I try and make it this entirely new paradigm for navigation, entirely new paradigm for interaction as opposed to just making, just tweaking, slowly tweaking the other app, like the real native app to just be more and more mobile enabled. or even just the iPhone app.

Justin Edelstein: I find the iPhone Mobile Lite Salesforce Mobile works like a charm. Yeah. It does. I mean, there's nothing wrong with it. It works great. It's got offline stuff. It's not that it's not as clunky as this. It's clunky. It's clunky. Not as clunky as this. It's pretty clunky. If that's clunky, this is clunkier. Yeah, I agree. I'm not new. So. And I like to rail I Just don't know the use that's the thing tell me the use case I'm I can't because I won't because if I want to look at chatter the chatter app is better at that Yes, it is this is definitely want to look at Salesforce data for reals I'm logging into login dot salesforce comm on my on my Browser and I'm looking at sales for all the dashboards. I use a dashboard app so I don't have the use for this yet.

20:31 Justin Edelstein: Hopefully it'll be better one day and it'll get there and you'll be able to do all sorts of fun stuff on it and see all the data you want to see and edit all the data you want to edit and add related records and all sorts of fun stuff. actually get a task list of things I need to do today or in the next seven days. Like why is that not there? There's a tasks tab that defaults to a day. Like, I don't know. I don't find that I use Salesforce tasks in that way, but whatever.

Jason Atwood: And Well, Salesforce tasks are I mean, they're just not, for us who are heavily task dependent, it is not the place we're putting my tasks. I just like the all open view. Why can't I have that? I just want the all open view. You can't have that. I just want it. You have a day picker.

Justin Edelstein: Why do I have a day picker? That doesn't make any sense.- and so long,

Jason Atwood: Sorry sales force we love you, we wish you post a be I post about a review of touch calendar. before I use it. And I think they really have to explain why you would use this versus something else. Because again, I have a hard time. I was with a client the other day where they were, the first was demo or prospect and Salesforce was there mobile. And we laughed and the partnership are named about it and I'm saying that's one of the things I struggle with is because the mobile story is very. all over the place right now because in some ways everything works. You want to log on your iPhone? You want to log on your tablet? Fine, just log in. It works. It's a mobile site. It's mobile because it's on the internet.

Justin Edelstein: It's the silliest thing ever because five years ago, six years ago, whenever it was when I got my first generation iPhone and my manager's manager's manager emails me on the R train home and says hey can you reset my Salesforce password I was able to do it I was like six years ago I went on my iPhone didn't took a while I was on the edge network yeah but I got to his you click the reset user button there you go and I could have also just replied that could be melon It says you know that I did not of a paradigm shift in the a way that resources thinks about people and how they interact with each other and how you set goals and how you recognize each other and it always

26:03 Jason Atwood: R If you were brand new to Salesforce, brand new to the conference, and you got up and saw the Sales Cloud in the way that they presented it, it would look great. The problem is the Sales Cloud is something we've been doing for 10 years and it's really good already and we use it every day and it's like ho hum. So if you add on these, these three features, electronic this, chatter this, messages this, whatever. It's like it still does what it does. Basically a new toy and even though, enterprise you get a service class of it parts we get cases you get solutions yeah console console console you

Justin Edelstein: Get the old crap So anyway, I think. That's sort of the thing it's like I've seen the crappy console lately It's so cool to go because it's like it transports you back six years.

Jason Atwood: Oh the tabs are great So anyway, I think those things Those pieces of the future that are coming and that are integrated and are forward-looking, I'm excited about. I had a client ask the other day, when's chatterbox coming? Because they saw that Dreamforce, oh, we're excited about that. I said, whenever it comes, your compliance department's not going to let you have it. So just stop and think about it. Well, I've got a working...

Justin Edelstein: With a client today that uses Dropbox quite a bit. It's like, oh, that's kind of cool. You keep all this stuff in Dropbox, like in the back of my head, like, OK, when Chatterbox comes out. We'll talk about that because you want to try as an operational, as an operations organization, or.... the in a Dropbox folder. Oh, it's a huge, I. I mean, this is. It's not the worst thing in the world if you can control it a little, but not much control that you have over a Dropbox.

Jason Atwood: Well, that's why they're saying Chatterbox is, it's like Dropbox, but that you trust.

Justin Edelstein: It's from, you know, the Salesforce who... You already, we already have all your data. Yeah, we already have your customers' social security numbers, so you may as well drop their files in there too. That's filed on me, I think. Drop the loan documentation in there, whatever. There you go.

29:05 Jason Atwood: Next up, kind of a fun story, just on... I just texted this to my father. This is on BGR.com. I guess I could probably look that up. What that actually means. But it came out last week. I actually tweeted it because I thought it was interesting. And the headline is, Google is making more money in advertising than the American print media combined. Now first up, let me just say, Google's international company, American Print Media is... nationally located so there's already a whatever it's yes it's not the stats fuzzy yet fuzzy math fuzzy math but it basically shows a graph and showing what newspapers are making you know back from 2004 to what Google is making now and I don't see this graph it's on the top of the article okay images broken on my browser and it basically shows newspapers magazines and Google Mean what's kind of interesting is the whole thing looks like a downward trend the entire thing is down except Google really but going Yeah, I mean Google's going up, but the whole advertising market look like it's coming down Stack rank them stack rank.

Justin Edelstein: I love to have to put them on top of each other drink see the see if they're Totally that's true. That's because it doesn't look like the whole thing is actually Boy is Google starts in 2004 with some little actually looks like it as a whole is maybe it's not yeah Well, that's 40 plus 40 is 80.

Jason Atwood: Yeah, so you're right.

Justin Edelstein: It's probably going up Learn how to read those graphs They're tough when they're stacked ranked.

Jason Atwood: I wish it was stacked ranked a little bit better. Anyway Interesting, I mean just kind of change because again you think about the world we live in I mean if anybody doesn't think that print media is completely dead at this point Well, it's not completely dead.

Justin Edelstein: Oh, it's not at zero. No, but it's it's a dying breed It's if you look at the print it's flat over the last three years. It's totally flat. Oh 9 10 11 So, no down. No, it's kind of flat. That's down. 9, 10, 11 is flat.

Jason Atwood: You can't read graphs. That's going down. That's smallly down increments.

Justin Edelstein: Small increments. Yeah. Not like, you know, when you look at 05 to 09, that's an enormous like 25 billion dollars.

Jason Atwood: If you look at it from 2006 down, it's going down every year. Whether it's going down a little bit or a lot, it's going down every year. It's downwardly trending. Trending down. Well, it's funny because someone said to me the other day, I said, oh, oh, I'm going to read the paper or said I like on the Sunday or something that had had rituals. I read the paper. I said, the paper?

Justin Edelstein: I know. You're reading actual paper that's delivered to your... I've got a buddy who... like reads the paper at home and like you read the paper at home like not even like you know you grab it because it's a courier so you can hop on the subway and just read it right he's like no i read it at night like you read the newspaper at night like there's so many things wrong with that first of all whatever you're reading is 24 hours old yeah there's so many things wrong with what you're doing like you're reading the newspaper which was written yesterday But you're reading it tonight And it's physical paper that's getting black gunk all over your hands That's that's never a good thing and it cost money. That's disturbing. That's disgusting. What are you doing?

32:20 Justin Edelstein: Well and it's And by the way, your laptop's sitting on your lap while you're reading it.

Jason Atwood: Like, what is wrong with you? I use my iPad as the holder for my newspaper. Listen, a lot of people... It's a thing. It's a thing. And people like the physical media. I used to in college, back when dinosaurs ruled the earth. I used to every day. I was a business major. surprise surprise my favorite thing in the morning do was to grab the wall street journal and to eat three donuts and a large morning i loved it and it was i think i had a couple coffee places i go with a student center or whatever, but I used to just love that concept of sitting there. I Like, comment, share and subscribe!

Justin Edelstein: Like a paper, like the Wall Street Journal, the front page alone It's only so big. I mean I guess, I guess you could squeeze a lot onto these like a half hour subway ride from home to work. And in the morning, you know the New York Post was a quarter. Yeah, almost hair above. Hair above.s. The Post still has a really great sports section. And then by the time I get off at Grand Central, I... Drop the paper in the garbage and that was that yeah, it was a court It was a rental so it doesn't

Jason Atwood: So this doesn't surprise me from a news standpoint it surprised me from like a in terms of average using dollars I just think of all the print media all the magazines they say there's like something like 500 new magazines a year and only like three survives They're talking about there's so many there going out of business now I was reading this other article about all these magazines They're just they go on the last episode last episode I can't even believe some man. Well, then the NFL came out with one that was the silliest thing the NFL So, you know, we're football fans and but the NFL came out with a print magazine like four months ago It's just absurd you do that four months ago like what four months. Yeah, maybe ten years ago I get it.

35:23 Jason Atwood: But four months ago like let's do a print man.

Justin Edelstein: Why not just do And yeah, I don't understand There are some magazines that exist. I don't even know how they even exist. I don't know how they keep some of them Make their way into my apartment I think all of them do and I don't even know how half of these things exist Yeah, well, I'm gonna might get like like style magazine. It's enormous It's super thick. But the whole thing is one big average. It's all ads, yeah. The whole thing, there's like one article.

Jason Atwood: It's like 800 pages and there's one article. It's also about looking at stuff. And I will say, I actively try to get off catalogs. So I've belonged to, I think there's a site called 41 pounds dot org. There's another one called... Actually New York City just started up a thing where you can sign up for these get off these list things. I got on that one. Yeah. So I've done them. I've done the ones where you pay for. But eventually you can't kill them all. They're like cockroaches. They come back. But the only way to do it is actually contact the company. So I have now, I grab my, I grab my, the last of the like Brookstone. There's like a couple, they're just tough. So I stack them up next to my computer and then when I have five minutes, I go through them.

Jason Atwood: I Google there somewhere on their site, either email or live agent or whatnot, chat and I say take me off your list and they say it will take 3-6 months. I don't want that stuff coming to me. Even though I think the shopping experience of looking through a catalog in some ways is a really great experience. Oh, when I was younger I used to love getting the East Bay catalog. Even on the plane now with Skymall. It's awesome to go through Skymall. to come into my house.

Justin Edelstein: R Very good. It's a good one Brookstone, Hemishimer, Sharper Images do so much fun. East Bay.

Jason Atwood: Oh, yeah, East Bay is good. That was a great one. Alright. Alright, we have Rat Hold enough. Let's get to some pics. Oh, first before that we had two new reviews on iTunes. We love those. Thank you very much. I don't know your names right this minute, but we we appreciate it. We posted our internal chattel and we all gave ourselves a good life.

Justin Edelstein: We got like so thanks very much. to pick the iPad mini. Yes. So, alright, we'll go with this one. So, this came from, I can't even take credit for it, and gosh, it stinks, I can't even think of the person who mentioned it. There was a conversation happening on the MVP chatter community, which is exclusive. I'm letting people in a little bit behind the covers. Someone asked something about, Like, Oh, what do for like Chatter Desktop now that there's, you know, if I want to be multiple orgs in multiple times. And Chatter Desktop actually does a really nice job. I'm logged into three orgs in my Chatter Desktop and you can flip between all three of them. Boom, boom, boom. Nice. Whichever one you want to be in. One's the Dreamforce org, one's our org, and one is the customer group.

38:46 Justin Edelstein: MVP community right and then someone mentioned this and I installed it tried it. It's, actually really great It's called chatter monitor. It is free is a chrome, extension Okay, where chrome calls it yep I'm company called frond a Yes, okay, fro NDE but it puts this little chatter Bookmarklet thing I'm gonna I'm gonna turn my computer around so that you can see what this is called Oh looks like so that you can describe it this little guy up here. That's called an extension icon little extension icon Yes, and it actually I've seven sitting here got some some settings But you can set it to like alert you of something if like it'll like have a little red thing next to it if someone's app mentioned you these things that people ask for in chatter by the way right but you click on it and then You can even post something You can even post something to chatter, to all followers, to group, etc.

Justin Edelstein: But you can set it up so that you can be logged into multiple orks. So you can jump with a little the little pick list, nice, or drop down which org you want to be be in and it's right there in your browser H so it's really easy to get to if you want to get to multiple chatter groups or chatter orgs whatever you might be you know be in as a part of if you're a customer and you're in a customer group or if you want your own and you don't want to have to necessarily be logged into Salesforce to get to Chatter you don't like Chatter Desktop because it's an Air client you just don't like it so here's a little Chrome extension called Ch ater Monitor

Jason Atwood: Very good I like it I don't use extensions as much as I have a ton up here. I have a Google Voice one. I have Evernote. I have Amazon. The one I do like is Amazon wishlist. I have Chrome for a cause. I don't know if that even exists anymore. It used to be around Christmas. And I have the Salesforce ID snipper thing. Yep and I have a color picker one which I like. So you can pick a color. If you're doing HTML work. Anyway, well my pick is, so you're a chatter monitor free from Fronday. Check the show notes for the link. My pick of the week is called the... Oh, this thing. Yeah, so I am a tech guy and I like... Wait a minute. Yeah, I know, this is crazy talk. Wait a second.

Jason Atwood: And I am a big fan of the television, but... I also am a big fan of multiple devices. So you've heard me talk about the Roku the Apple TV T-vo I have ps3 I have we and I have a receiver and it can and a TV And then on Sundays I go crazy and I put up three Three other TVs because I made a command center whatever long story short My world of remotes my remote drawer has about 15 remotes in I've always had a one remote to rule them all. And this is not meant to be a, to insult, but we refer to it as the God stick. so I've had one. I had one by a company, I think it was called Remote Central or something, remote something. It's a weird name because it was like the name of the company was remote.

42:33 Jason Atwood: And I was visiting a friend in Bermuda a couple months ago, and they had this. And I've heard about this one, I've heard it's very good, and I've heard it's very easy, and whatever, it had a lot of features. But one of the things that you suffer with when you have lots of devices is the switching between the devices, because you're usually switching multiple things or controlling multiple devices. So the remote has to be smart enough to know when I'm hitting, when I wanna go here, turn my receiver to this, turn my TV to this, and turn my this to this. and So, I'm actually picking the Logitech Harmony 1, which is the advanced, it's called the Advanced Universal, Logitech makes a bunch. This one has a nice touchscreen, it has a nice feel, it has hard buttons as well as the soft buttons, but the best part of it is, first of all, my daughter, my seven, and and a half year old daughter how to use it in about five minutes.

Jason Atwood: So pass the daughter test. Then took me like... That's like Phil Dumfey having to do that on Modern Family. It then took me about 15 minutes to teach my wife. But whatever, I'm just saying. I was also part of that. Yeah, yeah. Good. It's just a joke. But what's nice is it has these nice big simple things at the top. Big buttons. Watch TiVo and then you name them. Watch Roku. Watch Apple TV. You click it and then it sends all the commands and gets it ready. So, she no longer has to know the Switch sources or power or whatever. You click one button and it says, watch TiVo. Watch Roku. Watch Apple TV. Or play a game. And then it switches it over to the PS3. It is really, really cool. And I went over and I even got the one that you can control the PS3 with.

Jason Atwood: So I can actually control the PS3 around. It controls the Roku, the Apple TV. It controls everything. thing. It's actually rechargeable, rechargeable, so it sits in a little like kind of sled. It's awesome. Harmony, I will say the one drawback is when you want to set it up, first give yourself some time because it's going to take about three hours to get it ready. You have to basically know all your devices and then you use an application, you hook it up to your computer and you have an application and you sort of, you know, it has a wizard is what do you want to control, okay, name it. But I mean, I'm pretty good at this stuff and it took me a good three hours to get it set up. So it really did everything I wanted to do flawlessly.

Jason Atwood: But now it's awesome. I love it. They're not cheap. These universal modes, it's about one hundred thirty two dollars. There's actually a newer version, which I've looked at. But I I want to wait until I kind of have done it a little bit, but. Logitech Harmony One, it's a great, great promote. I suggest it for almost everybody. There's all these add-ons you can put it, it can learn remote, so if you have something that's old, because it has a database, but then it can learn new remotes, like if you have something new, it'll learn it as well. You can almost program any button to do anything, so it is very, very cool. Highly, highly recommend. And it is a great, great, great remote. All right, well that's it.
