ABOUT THE SPEAKER
David Pogue - Technology columnist
David Pogue is the personal technology columnist for the New York Times and a tech correspondent for CBS News. He's also one of the world's bestselling how-to authors, with titles in the For Dummies series and his own line of "Missing Manual" books.

Why you should listen

Which cell phone to choose? What software to buy? Are camera-binoculars a necessity or novelty? As release cycles shorten and ever-shrinking gadgets hit the market with dizzying speed, it's harder and harder to know what's worth the investment. A tireless explorer of everyday technology, David Pogue investigates all the options so we don't have to.

After happily weathering installation nightmares, customer service hiccups, and an overwhelming crush of backups, upgrades and downloads, Pogue reports back with his recommendations via his many columns, TV appearances and how-to books. And he does it all with relatable insight, humor and an unsinkable sense of pun, er, fun. All that, and he sings, too.

Uma BagunTED
00:26
♫ It's nine o' clock on a Saturday ♫
5
14000
3000
♫ São nove da noite do Sábado ♫
00:29
♫ The record store's closed for the night ♫
6
17000
3000
♫ A loja de discos está fechada ♫
00:32
♫ So I fire up the old iTunes music store ♫
7
20000
4000
♫ Então liguei minha velha loja de músicas do iTunes ♫
00:36
♫ And soon I am feelin' all right ♫
8
24000
3000
♫ E logo estava me sentindo bem ♫
00:42
♫ I know Steve Jobs can find me a melody ♫
9
30000
3000
♫ Sei que Steve Jobs pode me encontrar uma melodia ♫
00:45
♫ With one dollar pricing that rocks ♫
10
33000
3000
♫ A um dolár, o que é o máximo ♫
00:48
♫ I can type in the track and get album names back ♫
11
36000
4000
♫ Posso procurar a música e encontrar o nome do albúm ♫
00:52
♫ While still in my PJs and socks ♫
12
40000
3000
♫ Enquanto estou de pijama e meias ♫
00:58
♫ Sell us a song, you're the music man ♫
13
46000
3000
♫ Nos venda uma música, você é o cara dá música ♫
01:01
♫ My iPod's still got 10 gigs to go ♫
14
49000
3000
♫ Meu iPod ainda tem 10 gigs pela frente ♫
01:04
♫ Yes, we might prefer more compatibility ♫
15
52000
3000
♫ Sim, nós preferimos compatibilidade ♫
01:07
♫ But Steve likes to run the whole show ♫
16
55000
3000
♫ Mas Steve gosta de fazer um show ♫
01:13
♫ I heard "Desperate Housewives" was great last night ♫
17
61000
3000
♫ Escutei que o Desperate Housewives foi bom ontem a noite ♫
01:16
♫ But I had a bad piece of cod ♫
18
64000
3000
♫ Mas eu estava passando mal ♫
01:19
♫ As I threw up my meal, I thought, "It's no big deal" ♫
19
67000
4000
♫ Assim que vomitei minha comida, eu pensei, "Não tem problema" ♫
01:23
♫ I'll watch it tonight on my 'Pod ♫
20
71000
3000
♫ Assistirei hoje no meu iPod ♫
01:27
♫ And now all of the networks are joining in ♫
21
75000
4000
♫ E agora todas as redes estão aderindo ♫
01:31
♫ Two bucks a show without ads ♫
22
79000
3000
♫ Um trocado por programas sem comercial ♫
01:34
♫ It's a business those guys always wanted to try ♫
23
82000
3000
♫ É um mercado que esses caras sempre quiseram tentar ♫
01:37
♫ But only Steve Jobs had the 'nads ♫
24
85000
3000
♫ Mas só Steve Jobs teve o culhão ♫
01:42
♫ They say we're young, don't watch TV ♫
25
90000
4000
♫ Eles dizem "você é jovem, não assiste TV" ♫
01:46
♫ They say the Internet is all we see ♫
26
94000
4000
♫ Eles dizem que só ficamos na Internet ♫
01:52
♫ But that's not true; they've got it wrong ♫
27
100000
3000
♫ Mas isso não é verdade, eles não entenderam ♫
01:55
♫ See, all our shows are just two minutes long ♫
28
103000
5000
♫ Veja, nossos programas só tem dois minutos de duração ♫
02:02
♫ Hey ♫
29
110000
2000
♫ Hey ♫
02:06
♫ I got YouTube ♫
30
114000
2000
♫ Eu tenho YouTube ♫
02:08
♫ I got YouTube ♫
31
116000
2000
♫ Eu tenho YouTube ♫
02:12
And now, ladies and gentlemen,
32
120000
2000
E agora, senhoras e senhores...
02:14
a tribute to the Recording Industry Association of America --
33
122000
3000
um tributo a "Associação da Indústria de Gravação da América"
02:17
the RIAA!
34
125000
3000
a RIAA!
02:23
♫ Young man, you were surfin' along ♫
35
131000
3000
♫ Jovem, você navegava por aí ♫
02:26
♫ And then, young man, you downloaded a song ♫
36
134000
3000
♫ Então, jovem, você baixou uma música ♫
02:29
♫ And then, dumb man, copied it to your 'Pod ♫
37
137000
3000
♫ E então, burro, você a copiou para seu iPod ♫
02:32
♫ Then a phone call came to tell you ... ♫
38
140000
5000
♫ Então você recebe uma ligação... ♫
02:40
♫ You've just been sued by the R-I-A-A ♫
39
148000
3000
♫ Você acaba de ser processado pela R-I-A-A ♫
02:43
♫ You've just been screwed by the R-I-A-A ♫
40
151000
3000
♫ Você acaba de ser intimidado pela R-I-A-A ♫
02:48
♫ Their attorneys say you committed a crime ♫
41
156000
4000
♫ Os advogados deles dizem que você cometeu um crime ♫
02:52
♫ And there'd better not be a next time ♫
42
160000
3000
♫ E que é melhor não acontecer de novo -- ♫
02:55
♫ They've lost their minds at the R-I-A-A ♫
43
163000
3000
♫ Eles perderam a noção na R-I-A-A ♫
02:58
♫ Justice is blind at the R-I-A-A ♫
44
166000
3000
♫ A justiça é cega na R-I-A-A ♫
03:01
♫ You're depriving the bands ♫
45
169000
3000
♫ Você está arruinando as bandas ♫
03:04
♫ You are learning to steal ♫
46
172000
2000
♫ Você está aprendendo a roubar ♫
03:06
♫ You can't do whatever you feel ♫
47
174000
3000
♫ Você não pode fazer o que quiser ♫
03:11
♫ CD sales have dropped every year ♫
48
179000
3000
♫ A venda de CDs cai a cada ano ♫
03:14
♫ They're not greedy, they're just quaking with fear ♫
49
182000
3000
♫ Eles não são gananciosos, eles apenas estão com medo ♫
03:17
♫ Yes indeedy, what if their end is near ♫
50
185000
3000
♫ Com certeza, e se o fim deles estiver próximo ♫
03:20
♫ And we download all our music ♫
51
188000
5000
♫ E nós baixarmos todas as suas músicas ♫
03:27
♫ Yeah, that would piss off the R-I-A-A ♫
52
195000
3000
♫ Sim, você irritou a R-I-A-A ♫
03:30
♫ No plastic discs from the R-I-A-A ♫
53
198000
3000
♫ Sem discos de plástico da R-I-A-A ♫
03:35
♫ What a way to make friends ♫
54
203000
3000
♫ Que maneira de fazer amigos ♫
03:38
♫ It's a plan that can't fail ♫
55
206000
2000
♫ É um plano infalível ♫
03:40
♫ All your customers off to jail ♫
56
208000
3000
♫ Todos os seus clientes para a cadeia ♫
03:43
♫ Who'll be next for the R-I-A-A? ♫
57
211000
3000
♫ Quem será o próximo para a R-I-A-A? ♫
03:46
♫ What else is vexing the R-I-A-A? ♫
58
214000
3000
♫ O que mais está incomodanto a R-I-A-A? ♫
03:49
♫ Maybe whistling a tune ♫
59
217000
2000
♫ Talvez assoviar uma canção? ♫
03:51
♫ Maybe humming along ♫
60
219000
3000
♫ Talvez murmurar uma canção? ♫
03:54
♫ Maybe mocking 'em in a song ♫
61
222000
3000
♫ Talvez zombar deles em uma canção? ♫
