In this scary episode of the hellyeah! show, we discuss custom iOS alert tones, The Last of Us, mass storage, Mediacom and ISPs, Comcast’s unfortunate cable television sign up process, metrics for good couches, gummy vitamins, Pokémon, price matching, recent security compromises, and television do’s and don’ts.

In this grand episode of the hellyeah! show

…we discuss lost multiplayer progress, NAS setups and Plex Media Server, Grand Theft Auto V, The Wind Waker HD, chili, a whole lot of stuff about iOS 7, and Apple’s TouchID.

Emory’s stuff

• More like “the lost of us” amirite
• FreeNAS 9.1.1 and Plex Media Server
  • not perfect but pretty close

Alan’s stuff

• Grand Theft Auto V
  • also: Grand Theft Auto: Vice City for iOS
• The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD for Wii U
• “Fusion Chili” is really hard to make

iOS 7

• Look for better Camera application
• nicer photo organization — event/location/date scroll!
• Give the flat UI a chance!
• Applications that are updated for iOS 7 look great
• Auto Updates and granular controls on what happens on wifi/LTE
• New software that uses new UIs and the problem of cost
• Battery life issues for iPhone5?

Touch ID

• Tech pundits and press got this all wrong (including Bruce Schneier)
• Promises technology that addresses common problems

Caveats:

• You can’t plead the fifth with your finger
