Streaming War. Who Will Win?

Which one is going to rule!! The streaming world

YouTube Red and YouTube Music app were just released, and YouTube let you use this feature 14days for free. Well so far I like to watch videos without ads, personally I use Youtube for watching my favorite show and some kittens, of course, but soon YouTube will be more than just watching some random videos, with you YouTube Red we can able to watch movies, tv shows and most importantly listening music. With the new YouTube music app now you can listen or search for new music online and listen to them offline, the app can keep playing music or playing the video even in the background.

Especially in the USA, streaming market controlled by two mainstreamer which is Netflix and Hulu – Netflix has the %60 percent of the market – so they are living their moment right now, earning enough money but we presume not for long. If you have Netflix or Hulu shares, I am telling you it is time to sell!!!… Because there will be two new competitors are coming to the market, and they called Apple and Google. The biggest two companies in this world!! If we think we are alone in this universe, I can use the term biggest two of the Galaxy!…

So what can this two do to Netflix and Hulu, well one of them is the largest seller of smart devices as phones or pads and laptops, and the other one has the biggest content of videos that we watch every day.

Some will say Netflix and Hulu are creating their content like a tv show or documentaries, yes that is true I loved Netflix documentary about Ukraine Revolution. So creating content needs money right let’s check how much some of the tv show cost;

Game of Thrones (2011-present): $6 million per episode
Camelot (2011): $7 million per episode (Starz)
Marco Polo (2014-present): $9 million per episode
Breaking bad: $3 million per episode ( my favorite )

Netflix, Hulu, Apple TV, YouTube Red, which one will win the war?

Let’s think that the companies need to make ten shows to get somewhere in this market and each episode will cost 10million. In this four streamers who do you say can pay this money?! Well, Google and Apple of course and they don’t even care about that amount of money, for this reason, Netflix and Hulu can’t beat this two with creating new contents

And also as member of young generation, I never watch TV shows from TV or any other streaming company, well we have torrent, streaming companies are not fast enough for us, we don’t like to  wait to see ” The Walking Dead’s ” new season, and after Glen fell from that garbage container, no way!!, we need to watch, and torrent will help us on this one.

What are the changes of Google and Apple in streaming market?

Well in Apple TV you can find music, tv shows, movies and many streaming channels like Netflix, Hulu and many other which include sports channels, and this gives Apple an advantage in US market or any other English speaking countries. But not all people around the world want to watch American based content, that is where YouTube Red will crush the others, YouTube viewers are watching 3 billion videos every day, don’t mind Facebook 8 billion views – even you just watch 3 seconds of videos Facebook count as a view that we do when we slide down and checking what people share- in YouTube servers there are too many foreign content like tv shows, documentaries, game channels, videos of funny stuff, educational content and many more, and with new music future the others have no chance if you considering all around the World.

So in USA market all streamers will be okay but Netflix and Hulu will start losing their share of the market, and if they don’t play their cards right, they will not survive. World dominance will belong to YouTube, and Apple will follow.

PornHub is one of the most popular sites in the World and they are in top 100 and %10 percent it is not going to affect this site, but it so interesting a game can affect a popular website like this.

PornHub’s VP said they are not surprised with this decrease of the visits, this happened many times before like after Grand theft Auto, of course, it is not only Fallout 4 there were some other games came out like StarCraft, Tomb Raider and Call of Duty Black Ops 3 and, unfortunately, these games need two hands to play properly, for a while PornHub rating will go down but they are sure young generation will return to them.

 

 

Elon Musk is So Confident That Tesla’s Batteries Are The Future

Tesla building a massive factory to build lithium-ion batteries, they spent $5 billion for this factory which located in Nevada. The company will start producing in 2016, will reach full capacity in 2017 and able to produce 500.000 batteries a year by the end of the decade. We can see that company is pretty optimistic about their batteries future, they are investing too much money in this area.

Elon Musk said; “At this point we have quite a good understanding of all the battery technologies in the world,”.  Now the company is tracking producers which make batteries and giving them rates from one to five, they are planning to work with the businesses who took the five point, but still no five points but some threes.

Tesla is the biggest consumer of lithium-ion batteries, their batteries give the longest range to the cars, but they cost a lot. And if Tesla wants to be alive in the future they need to lower the cost of the batteries and new giant battery factory build for this purpose, just think about Ford at its first years, if Henry Ford was not able to manage the mass production, Ford might not be a big company as today. Mass production is the key for Tesla to lower the prices, also their future Chinese factory might help this also not because of only the low worker cost, also there are too many technology companies located in China, it will give Tesla’s factory to reach the resources they need much cheaper cost.

We all watching Elon Musk closely and I am personally sure about this man will be very appreciated by the humanity for his actions to give us much  better future.

Already Safari for IOS has a special place for Apple users, but Google Chrome and Opera also refrain from creating their own user base.Firefox IOS application that can be attracted by Firefox desktop users.Thus, after some time it will gain new users.

Firefox browser comes default as Yahoo Search, but if you want to use Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, you are able to make transition between them.

These small differences between mobile browsers are not as seen as like desktop browsers.So the obvious question which Mozilla  may give an answer is ‘Why users prefer to use Firefox IOS app?’

$1500 Tag Heuer SmartWatch

If you are little bit interested about watches you certainly know Tag Heuer, the watch maker which is very popular between us the young generations with theirs great looking watches, i personally love Tag Heuer watches never been a Rolex fan, anyway now Tag Heuer has smartwatch that many of us have been waiting for a while. SmartWatch is using Android system, it is swiss, cost $1500 and it is the answer to Apple Watch Gold which is cost $10.000. Price of the watch is cheap if you think about average price of the Tag Heuer watches. But still it is first android watch which is over $1000, doubled the most expensive Android Watch that is exist today.

Watch can work with Android and IOS but some futures don’t when it used with an iPhone – Google says new future are on the way for iPhones.
So this ” Swiss engineered ” watch – company use this term for this smartwatch instead of using the term Swiss Made – watch built from grade 2 titanium, feels very solid, 46mm diameter display makes it one of the bigger watches out in the market with its 1.5″ LCD display, also Google did some customizations for this watch like gray background instead of standard white. Watch looks like a real watch instead of a SmartWatch if you think these century we use watches for fashion or prestige and this make the Tag Heuer a good option in smartwatch market.
Still i personally think that smartwatches need more years to be desirable, young generation will accept smartwatch idea better than us, and companies need to make them more desirable with new futures which make people want them. If you considering to buy a SmartWatch Tag Heuer can be a great for you because of its manly look – i find Apple watch looks more feminine – , cheaper than Gold Apple Watch.
