I'm reading the transcript and it's interesting. There must be a transcription process done by someone who is not one of the participants of the conversation. Perhaps automated but (roughly) vetted by a human afterwards.

> When the iPod shipped originally, it only worked on _max_ and it used the HFS plus file system, which was Apple’s file system. And then at some point they said most of the world uses Windows. And so we want to be able to sell a Windows version too. And so we added support for _Phat 32_ so that you could hook the iPod up to a Windows.

max = Macs I'd imagine, and Phat 32 is FAT32 :D

Hi, podcast host here. I got the transcript done through rev.com and didn't proof read it because usually they are pretty solid. That was a mistake, I am fixing it right now.
I’m a little sheepish that this is the highest post on the page. I thought the podcast was interesting and the transcript was pretty readable.
In one section it also says “right” and it should be “write”.
Also, "bite order".
Ha, I noticed this too.

"You use one less gate, if you do it little NDN rather than big NDN and so Intel and I guess arm chose little NDN because it used slightly less hardware"

NDN obviously supposed to be 'endian'.

The weirdest part about the translation is that elsewhere, the translation has no problem with "Macs" or "endian".
Some transcription services will slice your transcription and distribute it... it's just horizontal scaling!
ha! glad i wasn't the only one who noticed the almost robot-like transcription: bites, NDN, PHAT, etc
