oh my god riley what are you doing here
you remember how to host videos right midday
yes oh my god cut it out you hosted a tech show for
like four years come on let's let's get you cleaned up
come on so
there's been a lot of speculation over the last six months about us buying out
the ncix tech tips youtube channel and
confession time we have been working on it
so i made an initial offer which was
when i found out about the pending buyer
but i'm a shareholder or i'm on the board of directors or something i don't
know it made no sense to me whatsoever so
so to say that i was pretty cheesed off by this point would be a
gross understatement
so any purchaser of the rest of the company or a creditor
or even that individual with the login credentials
could challenge my ownership
due to some weird loopholes that are specific to intellectual property law
and they kind of make sense because if
frankly it's not even worth what i was offering at this point
but i mean for me i already had the host and
it's kind of like monopoly right like it's worth it to overpay for
park place if you've already got boardwalk
so long story short this has actually been
a very emotional ride for me because i i had really wanted to bring my old
stomping ground back to its former glory like the last thing that i wanted to see
was some company that doesn't understand the audience doesn't understand youtube
and doesn't understand how much sweat blood and tears went into making that
what it is just upload marketing videos to it
but even after over five thousand dollars in
legal fees and many hours especially from Yvonne she worked really hard on
this we just couldn't make it happen so
i'm i'm honestly i'm sorry to everyone i'm sorry to everyone who was involved
in the deal the viewers who really wanted to see it come back and
just sort of in general but
there's a silver lining so we actually made the deal to hire
riley as soon as there was some hint as soon as we got a sniff of getting the
channel so what we've decided to do is to just
go forward with a brand new show a spiritual successor
so it'll be a host and maybe it'll be me
maybe it'll be riley who knows maybe Colton will host it i don't care and the
host will be kind of uh standing here like this
like this really no no not like that
like this that's right boom
and what it's going to be in a nutshell is on a new channel we're going to call
the channel techlinked yeah
that really is the best we could come up with every episode will be about five to
six minutes long on mondays wednesdays and fridays and it'll cover the biggest
tech stories of the day and it's gonna be sort of sort of like this
chipmaker advanced micro devices has announced that they are going to be
purchasing finally the graphics accelerator design company ati for a
cool 5.4 billion dollars rumors about
the possible sale been flying around for months and apparently AMD decided to go
through with it but as ati's stock price on the market soared AMD's dropped due
to investor concern that AMD paid too much for the acquisition kind of like
you right yeah yeah
he had no choice but to say that it's great buying ati will allow AMD to offer
integrated graphics on their cpus giving them an edge over rival Intel reportedly
AMD initially tried to purchase graphics giant NVIDIA but its ceo jensen huang
insisted that he lead the new company and AMD chief hector roose wasn't having
any of that uh uh so AMD set it sites on ati instead
and pulled the trigger the gun went ah this is so redundant
how many times are you gonna say they did the deal and just like shooting someone in real
life that decision has haunted AMD ever since
so it's going to be kind of like that except current news not news from 12
