Welcome one, welcome all, my name's Joshua Smith and welcome to the official KOLT and
0:07
MAC News Roundup, where we round up some of the week's biggest news in just a few short minutes
0:12
If you want this week's hottest news, I've got you, so sit tight. We've got news on everything from the White House being hacked, a huge announcement from
0:19
Apple CEO Tim Cook, and even tons more, so keep it locked
0:30
Apple has always been known for being a business driven and enhanced by the company of its
0:37
diverse staff. Walk into any Apple store and you're sure to find people of all kinds
0:42
The way they dress, the way they act, they could all be different, in total encompassing
0:46
the idea that Apple is for anyone. And just this week, Apple CEO Tim Cook stayed true to that in his official statement coming
0:53
out as gay. In his official letter, Cook shared how he's proud to be gay, and since then, waves of
0:58
support from all different mediums have hit the internet. And in fact, our very own Buster Hyatt has made his own article sharing the world's reactions
1:06
and you can learn more about Cook and the details of his letter and more on KOLT and MAC.com
1:19
So no, Cook's announcement didn't reveal any new iPhones or iPads, but let me tell you
1:24
this, it's still got the world talking. So welcome to a segment called Look Who's Talking, a piece of the show where I round
1:30
up some of the most interesting posts from the past week's tech talk. It's pretty cool to see people show their support for someone announcing such a big
1:37
piece of their life publicly. In fact, Senior Vice President of Apple Phil Schiller tweeted
1:41
At Tim Cook equals courageous. Proud to work for you and be your friend
1:46
And I think that perfectly represents what Cook was saying in his letter. He said
1:50
The company I am so fortunate to lead has long advocated for human rights and equality for
1:54
all, and I'd say he's getting that done. While there were some more traditional tweets like that one, I thought this one was actually
2:01
pretty funny. Josh Helferich tweeted this, The president is black, the top rapper is a white girl from Australia, and the CEO of
2:09
the largest tech company is a gay man. Yes. But if you're talking about Tim Cook and his personal announcement, I want to know
2:16
what you think about it. Let me know what you have to say in the comment section, or send me a tweet at justjoshua123
2:22
to let me hear ya. And lastly, let's close it off with a segment I like to call Rapid Replies, where we run
2:36
through some of this week's headlines and reply with our initial reactions
2:40
Make sense? Alright, you ready? Let's go. It seems like literally everything nowadays is being hacked
2:47
And I mean everything. Just this week it was revealed that hackers broken into an unclassified computer network
2:54
used by who? President Obama's top advisors. Let that sink in for a second now
3:00
I said that people are hacking into the White House. Not much more has been said
3:05
In fact, the president's staff says it's less serious than it could have been. Really
3:10
So, CBS and Rite Aid have made their efforts blocking Apple Pay, and now movie theaters
3:15
are banning new technology too, specifically wearable recording devices, under their new
3:20
zero tolerance policy. So if you're planning on recording, say, the new Jake Gyllenhaal movie Nightcrawler that
3:26
comes out this weekend with your Google Glasses, well think again. Just think again
3:31
If you tuned in last week, you heard about Christian Bale starring as Steve Jobs in the
3:35
newest movie about the late Apple CEO. But some pretty awesome news was released this week regarding who will be playing Jobs
3:42
partner Steve Wozniak, or simply known as Woz. And it's been confirmed that Seth Rogen will be playing the part
3:49
And it's definitely an interesting fit, so I'm excited to see how he does for sure
3:54
Sorry Jonah Hill, I guess not this time either. Well there you have it ladies and gentlemen, a full week of news in just a few short minutes
4:02
like I promised. And you can guarantee we'll be here next week to do it all again
