Anyone else think Mossberg is just annoying? Not to hate from behind a keyboard but he just sounds so set in his opinions and elitist.
This Walt guy’s voice sounds really like Paul Williams’.
Good to see this back on YouTube. I subscribe to the iTunes podcast anyway, but its still nice to see it here.
Project Ara?
Just make an Apple related podcast.
Best Vergecast ever !
YASS YASS YASS YASS youtube vergecast FTW
What the hell, Vergecast on YouTube? No way! This is long overdue but still amazing.
WALT doing the Vergecast!
Please make that a regular thing!
Love the show btw.
Vergecast back on YouTube !
Android gaming enthusiast’s, check out InBeta. Thanks!
i have to say, that was refreshing.. decided to wait until the end of the cast’ to leave a comment. Ha.
will there be more to come with +LaurenGoode and +WaltMossberg various others of Re/Code on the vergecast.… would be nice to seen Bloomberg’s Josh T back on the seat also, you know as a old time sake thing; but hey times are rolling.
There were good opinions on the gang of four feisty and hard commentary… i would like to share few thoughts, very unlikely to be noticed… anyway it was refreshing a new vergecast with new crew-ish..
Whhhaaaaatttttt!!! Awesome!
why did you guys stop uploading these to youtube?
mossberg is a fool, but the one advantage he has is being an old white guy with white hair who doesn’t really understand what he covers, but this means he can get interviews with other old white guys with white hair who don’t really understand what he covers.
glad to see the vergecast back on youtube.
Re: Beats One Radio, human curation, and its receptiveness by millennials:
I think what Sam said about our generation’s hold on connectedness throughout the world and how that will be the thing that insures Beats One Radio’s success was spot on. Much like Tumblr, Twitter, even Instagram, it’ll become a place where, even though you’re not actively participating in it, there’s a level of connection that people will love and cause them to talk about it and share on these other social media platforms. It’s an old school idea built with new school technology. I’m really excited to see how how it’s received.
Finally! Back on YouTube. I can finally stream this reliably to my TV now.
This was terrible. Walt was domineering and constantly shut people down. It made things super awkward and boring.
Please continue to upload the vergecast here. Livestreams mobile app is bust.
tthese guys talk about apple as if they are they’re gods. apple worshiping fanboys
i didnt’t relize walt and lauren were so cool
just another apple evangelist host. Why don’t you go work for apple then.He was just struggling to explain the kind of apple moment we are in.
This is one of the best Vergecast, welcome back to YouTube.
God thanks for finally uploading again on YouTube. Please ignore all the hate.
why not 1080p? :S
I think the older gentleman has got to go. He doesn’t fit the format of your podcast and quite frankly was talking gibberish. For the record android needs Google more than Google needs android. If android were dumb enough drop Google services there would not be a point to owning one. I’d switch to Apple and use the Google services.
The fact that Apple Music uses AAC at 256 kbps, which sounds as good (or better) as Spotify Premium’s Vorbis at 320 kbps. And it will load quicker because of the lower bandwidth.
Jug of water drinking _midwest guy
As the performance of phones and tablets approaching old laptops, the once significant irrelevance of Windows kernel on mobile devices is diminishing. In my wildest dreams, Microsoft can do to Apple what Apple did to Blackberry.
May very well be one of the best Vergecast’s ever … Should’ve given the YouTube video the same title as the podcast …
The way Nilay and Sam describe the Taylor Swift incident with Apple shows just how biased they are.
Walt Mossberg + The Verge is great!
The way Nilay and Sam describe Taylor Swift’s conflict with Apple shows just how biased they are. It’s ridiculous.
Excellent vergecast guys. Walt drove the whole conversation and stopped it form derailing it. KEEP HIM THERE. AT ALL TIMES.
Thank you so much for your presentation so I can study English to intend my skill and keep many many knowledge.
I like how you are now posting the podcasts on YouTube!
I just have to say this, there has been a lot of hate on this video and it really isn’t constructive. If you dislike their podcasting style then don’t watch it. If you have constructive comments that can help them improve their podcasts great but calling Nilay “senile” or an “Indian idiot” is not only rude but not helpful.
Did you notice how Nilay praises Apple for 30 minutes, and then when Walt asks “what is Apple bad at?” which he follows with “Cloud Services” and then Nilay quickly kills the conversation (3 minute talk) and moves onto Google.
Listening to you guys talk its like youve never been in a large corporate environment. Microsoft dominates the worlds business environment with around 90% marketshare. Apple is a minor player in corporate environments With less than 8% of global marketshare. You guys obviously are Apple fanboys so you are obviously biased. Apple watch is a non entity and Apple’s hayday has already come and gone.
They really gave Amazon and Microsoft short shrift. I read somewhere that the FireTVs are actually successful, as early as it is for them, so Walt’s assertion is not accurate fully there. Also they didn’t say anything about Amazon’s content play to fight Netflix. Also they didn’t say anything about Hololens, or the cross platform play they’re doing with their apps. They just went on and on about Apple and Google.
YES! Youtube, finally.
When Walt Mossberg speaks, let him speak. Continuous interruptions during his speech by the host was pretty annoying. Most of the time host was talking without any valid context. Walt Mossberg’s comments about the tech industry is very insightful, we like to hear that more.
is it just me.…
Lauren is beautiful and sweet and feminine !
Youtube suggested this video after watching the last CWD episode!
its so weird to see that one year later from this episode:
Sam has left
Walt retired
and Vergecast has moved off video!
Walt is really fat!! but I respect that man
