1
00:00:01,199 --> 00:00:08,160
And we're live. So, I promised a special guest, and I should

2
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:11,280
probably deliver the special guest a little bit earlier than I had

3
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:16,160
anticipated because it looks like he's starting to get a little bit cranky.

4
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:18,080
Come here, sweetheart. Come on. Oh, his

5
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:23,279
mom's handing him to me. There we go. So, for those of you who haven't been

6
00:00:21,039 --> 00:00:27,920
following me on Twitter, so if you haven't seen uh my baby yet, because

7
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:32,399
I've posted quite a few videos of him, but I have them unlisted on YouTube, so

8
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:37,280
only really the uh the Twitter followers are seeing them for the most part when I

9
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:42,879
post the links. This is my baby boy. He is, what is the date today? He'll be six

10
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:44,559
months old in two days, and that makes

11
00:00:42,879 --> 00:00:48,600
him five months. And

12
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:54,960
28 or 29 days old. So, this is what he

13
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:58,239
looks like. The only reason that he's joining us tonight is because he is a

14
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:02,879
brat. This is what he looks like and he was supposed to have gone to bed is because

15
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:07,119
he Yeah, you were supposed to have gone to bed. You want to tell me about why you're not in bed? Supposed to have gone

16
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:12,159
to bed. Oh, he's looking at the looking at the monitor here, which is

17
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:16,640
You want to tell me about Are you Are you transfixed by Twitter?

18
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:21,200
Is that going to be your favorite thing to do when you're older? You know what? They'll probably have a new thing. They

19
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:23,920
probably won't have Twitter anymore. Is that going to be your favorite thing to

20
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:29,759
do when you're older? You know what? His eyes are starting to get tired. Hopefully his mom can Yes. Oh, wait. I

21
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,640
have another tab open. What tab? Hold on. Hopefully his mom can What's the

22
00:01:32,079 --> 00:01:37,759
problem? Oh, wait. I have another tab. What tab?

23
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:41,360
Hold on. Problem. Oh, wait.

24
00:01:38,960 --> 00:01:46,240
There we go. Should be good. Nope. It's not echo. It's because the uh

25
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:48,079
the system still had sound on. I had to mute the sound.

26
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:54,960
No, it's not echo. Are we good? Because the uh the system there's such a delay on the on the

27
00:01:51,759 --> 00:01:58,240
stream that it's hard for us to know if

28
00:01:54,960 --> 00:02:02,079
it's good. No, it's not good.

29
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:05,360
Okay, hold on a minute.

30
00:02:02,079 --> 00:02:07,680
Not fixed. Uhoh. Hold on a minute. Okay,

31
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:11,039
now we have a problem. Not

32
00:02:09,759 --> 00:02:16,319
uh here. Can you take him for a second? Now we have a problem. Here you go.

33
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:21,360
Hold on. Let me just see. Is this still monitoring? Here you go.

34
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:26,319
Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Sounds off. Is this still monitoring?

35
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:28,640
Do I have multiple Hello. Hello. Hello.

36
00:02:26,319 --> 00:02:32,319
Okay. Hold on. Hold on, guys. Hold on. Do I have multiple?

37
00:02:29,599 --> 00:02:36,800
I moved everything around tonight. Okay. Hold on. Hold on, guys. Hold on.

38
00:02:34,239 --> 00:02:38,959
Do I moved everything around tonight? How about now?

39
00:02:37,920 --> 00:02:42,879
Hold on. Hold on, guys. Still have an echo. I moved everything around.

40
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:48,800
How about now? How about now? Are we good? No.

41
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:57,000
What do you mean it's worse? It's only left ear. Okay, that that

42
00:02:52,959 --> 00:02:57,000
mean it's worse. It's only

43
00:02:58,959 --> 00:03:07,599
worse. Uh, wait. Here's an idea. Hold on. We'll try

44
00:03:03,920 --> 00:03:09,599
this. Uh, wait. How about now? Is there

45
00:03:07,599 --> 00:03:15,840
still an echo? Still an echo. Hold on. I'm going to

46
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:19,840
switch the uh switch the sound back. So,

47
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:22,640
it should be both on input one.

48
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:27,680
Do we not have an echo anymore? We good? Okay. Six. Yes. Baby back.

49
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:33,120
Baby back. Baby back. Baby back. Baby back. There we go. So, do you want to

50
00:03:30,799 --> 00:03:37,599
give the the uh the Twitch audience and maybe some YouTube people who are

51
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:42,959
watching and wherever else from all over the internet that uh that all these

52
00:03:40,159 --> 00:03:46,640
people are are tuning in from? Maybe give them a nice big smile. Just wants

53
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:51,920
to stare at the screen. He's watching the Twitch chat, which quite frankly is

54
00:03:48,879 --> 00:03:53,840
usually pretty inappropriate for babies

55
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:57,920
because of the kind of stuff you guys are putting in there. And he's starting

56
00:03:56,239 --> 00:04:02,159
to get tired. So, for those of you who don't have babies already, when they

57
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:06,640
start to rub their eyes and their ears, that means they are starting to get

58
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:10,879
tired. Yes, he does have a big diaper. It is because he's wearing cloth

59
00:04:08,799 --> 00:04:16,239
diapers. So, we have a diaper service that's uh actually cheaper than

60
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:20,400
disposables. And cloth diapers are pretty expensive to buy these days. So,

61
00:04:18,799 --> 00:04:24,000
that's why we decided to go with that route because we don't know how many

62
00:04:21,840 --> 00:04:29,919
babies we're having, and it's cheaper to rent them than to buy them. So, there

63
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:35,280
you go. Yeah, Eco Linus. No, more like practical Linus. Um,

64
00:04:33,280 --> 00:04:40,080
let's see if there's anyone who's sending in any messages on Twitter. We

65
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:45,600
can just kind of see what's going on over there. I'm just going to change my

66
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:49,040
scene here. 26 new interactions. Holy

67
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:50,560
smokes. Hey, Linus. It's Flip. Okay. Hi,

68
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:56,400
Flip. I'm wondering how do you split your screen between the camera and your

69
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:59,759
computer screen in XSplit? Um, well, I

70
00:04:56,400 --> 00:05:01,120
use XSplit to to add additional things

71
00:04:59,759 --> 00:05:05,759
and then you just kind of resize them. They have a video about it. So, it's

72
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:11,440
pretty pretty straightforward. And what else we got? I was IP banned from Twitch

73
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:15,199
and I don't know why. Well, if you um if

74
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:17,199
you tweet John's well, his Twitter

75
00:05:15,199 --> 00:05:21,360
handle is John's Fatcock. If you tweet him, you can probably ask uh Lionus for

76
00:05:19,759 --> 00:05:26,880
gaming with games with amazing graphics like BF3 and Metro 2033 670 or 7950 with

77
00:05:25,199 --> 00:05:32,320
the latest drivers from AMD. I don't know if you guys have seen this yet, but

78
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:34,960
AMD released new drivers that are just

79
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:40,080
balling. We're looking at 10 15% performance improvements in modern games

80
00:05:37,919 --> 00:05:45,440
with their Southern Islands family of cards. So that's all the Radeon 7000

81
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:51,759
series cards. Now you can see what's got him transfixed now is the Microsoft

82
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:54,000
Surface. He loves phones and he

83
00:05:51,759 --> 00:06:00,560
especially seems to like the Microsoft Surface right now. So this will be the

84
00:05:56,639 --> 00:06:03,280
first footage on the internet of a baby

85
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:08,639
using Microsoft Surface. Sweetheart, that's not how it works. Okay, hold on.

86
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:13,759
Hold on. Hold on. It's pressure sensitive. You got to be careful.

87
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:17,840
Hold on. I got to put in the password for you. You know, parental locks and

88
00:06:15,840 --> 00:06:22,560
all that. This is important. This is how he uses the Surface. I'm not saying that

89
00:06:20,319 --> 00:06:28,800
you should use it the same way. Um, the pressure sensitive keyboard is uh

90
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:31,120
responding well to his gestures,

91
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:34,960
which basically amounts to mashing the keyboard. This is a very positive thing

92
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:40,080
already about the pressure sensitive keyboard on the surface because if uh if

93
00:06:37,840 --> 00:06:44,960
this was a real keyboard Oh. Oh, I don't want you to eat that, sweetie. No, no,

94
00:06:42,479 --> 00:06:49,840
babies are not surfaces are not for baby eating. So, well, nothing's for baby

95
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:53,840
eating. Nobody should be eating babies. But, uh, what I meant to say is that

96
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:57,759
it's not for babies to eat. That That's really what I meant to say. Okay. Yeah,

97
00:06:55,919 --> 00:07:03,520
you're typing. See, look at him swiping in the uh the contextual menu there.

98
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:08,240
Here, try this. I want you to I want you to swipe in from the side like that. Can

99
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:09,440
you do that, sweetheart?

100
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:19,240
Okay. Well, he's going to mash the keyboard somewhere. There you go. Okay. Yeah, that's very

101
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:19,240
good. You're doing really well.

102
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:26,800
That might be the best we're going to get from him in terms of of using the

103
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:30,240
surface. Like I said, he's only six months old at this point, you guys. So,

104
00:07:28,639 --> 00:07:34,240
uh, there you go. That's Yeah, he's he's

105
00:07:32,479 --> 00:07:39,440
he's like he's all over that here. You know what? Here's an interesting test.

106
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:42,240
Okay, sweetie. Which one do you want?

107
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:46,560
Surface or iPad. So, let's grab the iPad. Let's put

108
00:07:44,479 --> 00:07:50,960
something similar on the display. So, let's just uh let's find out if he's

109
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:55,360
going to be an Apple fanboy or if he's going to be more of a more of a

110
00:07:52,560 --> 00:08:00,000
Microsoft home dog. Okay, here we go. Okay, here we go. So,

111
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:05,560
I'm going to put the baby between each one and let's see which one he goes for

112
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,560
here.

113
00:08:06,319 --> 00:08:12,960
He wants both. Okay, now we know. So, it looks like

114
00:08:11,599 --> 00:08:19,039
he's just going to be a general technophile just like his dad.

115
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:22,560
And I can't take Can't take his eye off that. Okay. So, I think I do want to get

116
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:27,759
going with the stream now. So, everyone say bye to our special guest. Can you

117
00:08:25,039 --> 00:08:30,720
say bye? Can No, you're just going to stare at the surface. He's He's leaning

118
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:35,200
on me really hard. He's trying to get over there. Whoa. Yeah. What if we

119
00:08:33,680 --> 00:08:40,240
dropped it? That would be not so good. Here you go. All

120
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:44,720
right, guys. So, thanks for bearing with me here. I know that was more of a

121
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:49,839
distraction than anything else, but uh hopefully you enjoyed it as much as I

122
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:54,160
did. He had a very good time, I think. What do you think, Mom? Yeah, I'm I'm

123
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:59,120
getting the I'm getting the nod over there. I think he enjoyed joining us on

124
00:08:55,839 --> 00:09:01,360
the stream here. So, as you guys may or

125
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:07,760
may not have noticed, I'm in a new set this time. I have a completely new sort

126
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:12,000
of thing going on. And honestly, this was a total mess to set up. I'm just

127
00:09:10,399 --> 00:09:17,040
going to go take over the camera for a second here. Flip it into uh auto mode

128
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:21,040
so I can show you guys what I've got going on in the middle of my living room

129
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:25,440
right now. It's not pretty, but uh if I can figure

130
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:29,680
I can't even figure out how to change this camera from like auto mode to

131
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:34,240
manual mode. It's so complicated. Okay, we're in auto mode now. So, that's me.

132
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:38,160
There's my mouse pad. Got the uh like the middle cushion folded down on the

133
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:42,240
couch. And then this is the monitor I've set up so that I can read tweets this

134
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:46,640
week. That was a big problem for me last week. I couldn't actually control the

135
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:52,800
computer that I was using to stream the video. So, here is that computer almost

136
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:57,120
directly under the camera in my Anttech P280 case. And it's is it zooming in?

137
00:09:55,040 --> 00:10:01,519
Wow. the weight of the weight of the lens.

138
00:09:58,959 --> 00:10:05,440
Ah, zoomed it in as IO moved it down there. That's not what I meant to do.

139
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:10,240
And that's my sweater. And then here's all the tablets that I have for us

140
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:13,360
tonight. So there's the ASUS TF700.

141
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:15,600
There's the iPad 2. Don't have an iPad

142
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:20,160
3. Not sold on the iPad 3 to be perfectly honest. There's a Surface. And

143
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:25,839
then the other one is hiding somewhere I think. Oh yeah. Yeah. It's on the floor

144
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:26,959
dome there behind the table. So, oh yes,

145
00:10:25,839 --> 00:10:32,480
check this out. Check this out. You guys are going to love this. Darth Vader Pez.

146
00:10:30,399 --> 00:10:38,720
I promise to bring that out later in the stream. And I hope I have this lined up

147
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:41,360
right because if I don't, my my wife

148
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:47,360
who's holding the baby as well is going to have to try and figure out how to uh

149
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:52,320
how to reimulate this at me. Yeah, it's not quite right. My head is cut off. And

150
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:56,240
my head is no longer cut off. Excellent. Thank you.

151
00:10:53,839 --> 00:11:01,760
All right, let's do a little bit of Q&A before we get into what will be the bulk

152
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:06,160
of the setup or bulk of the live stream for tonight, which is going to be

153
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:10,800
Windows 8, Windows RT, and then with particular emphasis on this tablet

154
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:14,240
because cameraman and I actually spent I mean, we obviously haven't had a ton of

155
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:18,079
time with it yet, but we spent a couple hours with the Surface today. And

156
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:21,680
between the two of us, remember guys, cameraman. I'm talking the original

157
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:29,120
cameraman, not Slick, who's an Android aholic, and uh not Diesel, who's also an

158
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:32,800
Android kid. Um but the cameraman who's

159
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:37,279
the Apple nerd of our sort of rag tag

160
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:39,360
group of technopiles. Um he's sold. He's

161
00:11:37,279 --> 00:11:45,040
like, "Oh yeah, no, this is really good." Um there's some stuff that's not

162
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:48,959
perfect. It needs apps. like it needs

163
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:50,800
apps. Um, it I mean, you could make an

164
00:11:48,959 --> 00:11:58,240
argument for a higher resolution screen. I'm not sure I care that much. Um, but

165
00:11:54,959 --> 00:12:00,720
the way it handles multitasking and the

166
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:06,959
productivity potential for this platform, for this device right now is

167
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:10,639
just absolutely outstanding because Office makes all the difference in the

168
00:12:08,639 --> 00:12:15,440
world. I mean, here I'd love to hear from you guys in the Twitch chat or in

169
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:22,560
the uh or in the Twitter feed. Who here has ever tried to edit a Google doc

170
00:12:18,560 --> 00:12:27,360
using an Android tablet or an iOS

171
00:12:22,560 --> 00:12:29,519
device? It is the stupidest thing in the

172
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:33,760
world. You have to like click on the cell in order to edit it and then it

173
00:12:31,680 --> 00:12:38,320
usually clicks on the cell to the right or above it or below it. It almost never

174
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:43,680
clicks on the cell you actually intend. It is so slow. Like it's the slowest

175
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:48,880
thing in the world. Working with an office document, working with a document

176
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:52,639
is just like you're trying to get something done. There's no reason you'd

177
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:55,920
be working with a spreadsheet and you're not trying to get something done. It

178
00:12:54,240 --> 00:13:01,120
doesn't work that way. And it's the slowest thing in the world. This just

179
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:05,680
changes all that. It's smaller than any Ultrabook.

180
00:13:02,639 --> 00:13:07,920
It is a great touch experience. And I

181
00:13:05,680 --> 00:13:13,760
I'll talk more about how I feel about touch in general in Windows 8 later, but

182
00:13:10,959 --> 00:13:17,600
the the touch experience on this is 100 times better than what I'd imagine you

183
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:21,760
can get on a desktop. And I'm like, I'm kind of sold. It's expensive. It's not

184
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:28,320
cheap. I mean, I'm not uh I'm not necessarily sold on that aspect of it,

185
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:32,000
but in fact, it's I wish it was $100

186
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:35,920
cheaper. Let's sort of put it that way.

187
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:37,360
But it's also not nearly as bad as some

188
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:42,720
of the press are making it out to be where they're kind of going, "Oh yeah, if it doesn't have apps, then we might

189
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:46,639
as well just all jump off into a river." You know what? It's Microsoft. They will

190
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:50,079
get app support. Um, so there's that. And Okay. Okay. No, no, let's do a

191
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:53,920
little bit more Q&A and then I'll I'll get into sort of some of my some of my

192
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:57,920
rants for the night. Um, one of my rants tonight is going to be the inability for

193
00:13:55,920 --> 00:14:01,920
people to accept the change that is coming with Windows with Windows 8 with

194
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:08,240
the UI. Let's have a look at what some of the Twitter some of the Twitter

195
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:10,560
people had to say about uh editing

196
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:14,000
documents using it. They had absolutely nothing to contribute about that topic.

197
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:19,519
Oh, I agree. It's a nightmare, says Melvin. Melvin is correct. It is a total

198
00:14:16,560 --> 00:14:25,839
nightmare to make an office. Yes, it was the worst. Yes, you've done it. Okay. Um

199
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:31,600
yeah, you know what? At some point I'll try, but not right now. Um, Sean. Okay,

200
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:36,560
good question, Sean. No one's ever asked me this before, so I've never really brought it up before. I actually don't

201
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:41,519
drink. I might be the only Canadian, like north of the 49th parallel, which

202
00:14:39,199 --> 00:14:47,040
is sort of where most Canadians are. Um, who who doesn't drink beer, so there you

203
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:50,800
go. Um, can I get that adjusted just slightly? It's kind of pointing down a

204
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:54,959
little bit and it's sort of awkward. Uh, okay, that's up pretty high. That's

205
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:59,360
good. Thank you. Uh, what's the highest overclock I'll get with an H100 and i7

206
00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:03,120
3770K? Um,

207
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:09,360
realistically, anywhere from sort of 4.6 to 5.0 would be very happy. Uh, 4.6 4.8

208
00:15:07,519 --> 00:15:13,600
is probably the most realistic. Hello Australia to Billy Cool over there. Do I

209
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:20,000
think Windows 8 is a good idea for desktop? You know what? That's going to be one of my main topics later on. Um,

210
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:24,560
so these are these are going to be my my topics. Uh, Windows 8 touch. How does

211
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:30,000
Windows 8 affect gamers? Drive spaces, which I think is very exciting. Surface

212
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:31,600
versus iPad versus Android.

213
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:35,680
Uh, for me personally, so I will cover that,

214
00:15:34,399 --> 00:15:41,519
but it's going to be something that I'm going to dive a little bit more into depth into. Um, AMD's new drivers are

215
00:15:40,079 --> 00:15:45,440
awesome. What's your opinion? They're awesome. I think we can all agree on

216
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:50,240
that. How does my wife put up with my mess? Um, it's not actually messy. It's

217
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:56,560
just Okay, she's giving me a look right now. You know what? It's probably better

218
00:15:52,399 --> 00:16:00,240
if I do not answer that question because

219
00:15:56,560 --> 00:16:02,800
no matter what I say, I will get in the

220
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:11,920
trouble and it will not be good for me. So, let's just leave that. Um, darn this

221
00:16:08,079 --> 00:16:14,399
512 kilobit connection. I'm sorry to

222
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:19,279
Jason. Um, you can always watch later on YouTube. Paul wants to know if I can do

223
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:24,079
a backflip. All right. I've never been asked to do a stunt before.

224
00:16:22,639 --> 00:16:27,680
Sorry, I'm still fighting a bit of a nagging cold here, but I'm going to ask

225
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:31,360
my lovely wife to operate the camera for me and I will show them the one trick

226
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:37,440
that I can do. Okay, here we go. And it will be across

227
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:39,360
the cluttered floor full of clutter. Not

228
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:44,240
mess. Mess is different from clutter. Mess is like Cheetos, cheesy bags, and

229
00:16:41,839 --> 00:16:49,920
stuff. This is clutter. This is like necessary cables that I need and diapers

230
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:52,639
for my baby that he needs and a baby

231
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:55,880
which I obviously need. Isn't that right, sweetheart?

232
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:03,320
Isn't that right, sweetheart?

233
00:17:04,799 --> 00:17:11,360
Okay, so I cannot do a back flip. I have never

234
00:17:09,120 --> 00:17:15,120
done a back flip. But what I can do is I can walk on my hands. at least I could

235
00:17:12,799 --> 00:17:20,000
last time I tried. So, I am either going to knock over the $1,500 lights and the

236
00:17:18,079 --> 00:17:24,640
precarious table that's balanced on something or I'm going to succeed in

237
00:17:21,919 --> 00:17:29,440
this trick for you all. And I'm not sure which is going to happen. And there goes

238
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:31,600
my keys. Okay. Okay. Hold on. Hold on. We're

239
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:35,919
going to take we're going to take one more crack at this without the uh not my

240
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:38,720
keys. What fell? Okay. One of my keys. Okay. Okay. We're going to try one more

241
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:42,220
time. I'm going to try to make it all the way over to the couch. So, here we

242
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:45,299
go. Up.

243
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:52,880
Uh oh, I'm slipping. Okay, the wires are not going to let me

244
00:17:51,039 --> 00:17:57,039
pass. But there you go. That is the best I can do. I used to be able to do a

245
00:17:55,360 --> 00:18:00,960
front handspring, but I can't anymore. And I'm not even going to try that cuz

246
00:17:58,559 --> 00:18:04,240
it's been a very, very long time since I've made an attempt. A little bit more

247
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:08,960
zoomed out. Yep. And a little bit higher. There we go. Thank you.

248
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:13,280
All right. baby's starting to get cranky, so hopefully he lasts a little

249
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:17,200
bit longer here. Greetings from Indonesia.

250
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:21,760
It's Saturday afternoon right here. Perfect time for a live stream. Fantastic. Thank you for that story,

251
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:27,440
bro. All right,

252
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:29,440
MCL, I am sorry to hear that, man. Um,

253
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:37,000
as much as I'm glad that you're watching my live stream right now, I am sorry

254
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:37,000
that you no longer have a job. Um,

255
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:43,280
uh, the Hey, yes, I believe you can. I

256
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:49,679
wouldn't worry too much about that. Ty says, "Love your vids, Lionus." Um, what

257
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:54,640
else we got? Get mom in the camera. Mom does not want to go on camera. Remember,

258
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:59,840
guys, she had a baby not that long ago. And, uh, yeah, not to mention, she's in

259
00:18:57,120 --> 00:19:03,520
her jammies, so I think she's not going to want. She's giving me another look.

260
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:10,520
You guys are getting me in all kinds of trouble tonight. I hate you guys. You

261
00:19:05,679 --> 00:19:10,520
suck. All kinds of trouble.

262
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:16,960
Um, what is my rank at NCIX? I'm a category

263
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:21,039
manager. So, I manage categories and then product managers manage products

264
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:26,160
and then sales people sell them. So, kind of like that.

265
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:28,880
Uh, do you think we'll see reasonably t priced touchscreen monitors for

266
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:34,480
consumers now that Windows 8 has come out? Absolutely. I think we're going to see reasonably priced touchscreen

267
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:39,360
monitors. In fact, one of the ones that I'm really excited about is one that I

268
00:19:36,559 --> 00:19:45,679
did a video on. This is Acer's touchscreen monitor. Acer Windows 8

269
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:50,000
MCIX. Let's try let's try that for a keyword. Ah, yes, the T23HL.

270
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:55,280
I smartly excited about your fingertips.

271
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:58,160
And I'm going to go ahead and it looks like not all of you are extremely

272
00:19:56,640 --> 00:20:03,200
excited. this monitor.

273
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:10,400
This monitor, it has 10point multi-touch and it is just I'm super super stoked on

274
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:16,480
that monitor. Um because it comes in at a fairly reasonable price. So, uh yes,

275
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:21,440
and we'll see more and more as time goes on. Uh when do you think 790 will be

276
00:20:19,679 --> 00:20:25,200
released? It's already released. Lotus Fantasy already released, man. Power

277
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:29,280
Cololor made a card. They made like 300 of them or something, so no one cares.

278
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:34,880
Um, there you go. Why didn't I review the

279
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:37,840
GTX 690? Because nobody sent me one. I

280
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:44,240
never had one, so I don't uh I mean I can't buy every video card and uh and

281
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:48,480
test it because as much as uh as much as you guys would love to believe that the

282
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:54,240
YouTubes is sort of made of money and that if you get like a 100,000 views on

283
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:57,280
the YouTubes that uh that that trouble

284
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:59,440
trouble, you know, doesn't come for you

285
00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:06,080
and that everything is sort of hunky dory. Um, yeah, you don't you don't get

286
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:10,640
that much money for YouTube videos. So, yeah, I can't I can't actually afford

287
00:21:07,919 --> 00:21:15,679
that. That That's all. That's all. Uh, let's have a look. 44 new

288
00:21:13,360 --> 00:21:20,640
interactions on the Twitters. You know what? Let's go into our first topic for

289
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:23,360
tonight first. Um, so the first topic is

290
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:27,600
going to be how does Windows 8 affect gamers?

291
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:30,080
Now, this is kind of complicated because

292
00:21:28,799 --> 00:21:34,400
there's a few different ways that we can go at this. So, number one is how does

293
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:38,400
it affect desktop gamers? So, gamers like your traditional gamers, your Quake

294
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:44,400
3 gamers, your Team Fortress 2 gamers, your your FPS's, your RTS's, your RPGs.

295
00:21:42,159 --> 00:21:51,200
I would make the argument that not at all. So, number one is that Windows 7 is

296
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:56,320
going to be relevant for a very long time. Windows 7's adoption rate was

297
00:21:53,360 --> 00:22:02,559
excellent compared to Vista. So what we will likely see is a similar shelf life

298
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:06,480
after the newer stuff is out for Windows 7 as we saw with Windows XP. Probably

299
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:10,559
not as long as that because remember Windows XP also ran for a much longer

300
00:22:08,799 --> 00:22:17,280
period of time where it was the where it was the current OS. Um whereas Windows 7

301
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:21,679
only ran for around two years. But

302
00:22:18,799 --> 00:22:26,320
you will see support for the new games coming out with Windows 7. If you're

303
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:31,360
already running Windows 7 for a very long time, like years before you'll even

304
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:36,400
by the time you would have to upgrade to Windows 8, you don't even Windows 8 will

305
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:40,640
be replaced by Windows 9 or Windows 10. Okay, so there's that. Does it affect

306
00:22:38,559 --> 00:22:45,200
you if you don't even upgrade? Do you have to upgrade? The answer is no in

307
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:50,320
both cases. and Windows 7 will support current hardware for a very long time

308
00:22:47,360 --> 00:22:56,159
because the way that Microsoft licenses a a software package is they license it

309
00:22:53,760 --> 00:23:01,600
by physical CPU and Windows 7 is perfectly good for one or two CPUs

310
00:22:58,159 --> 00:23:03,200
depending on uh which copy you have. So,

311
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:06,400
okay, physical we're not going to have less than one CPU in a system anytime

312
00:23:05,360 --> 00:23:12,720
soon. We're probably not going to have more than one physical CPU in a system anytime soon. certainly not more than

313
00:23:10,159 --> 00:23:17,600
two in a desktop or even a moderate workstation environment. Um, RAM isn't

314
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:22,400
going to be a problem for a very long time. There are additions of Windows 7

315
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:26,159
that I believe support up to 128 gigs or

316
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:28,559
even 256 gigs of RAM. And I apologize

317
00:23:26,159 --> 00:23:35,360
for not remembering this correctly. Windows 7 uh Pro uh RAM limitation.

318
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:38,960
Let's have a look. Let's see what uh let's see what Windows has to Windows

319
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:43,919
Microsoft has to say for themselves because I can't remember. Uh, it looks

320
00:23:41,679 --> 00:23:50,480
like non-page pool something something7 Pro

321
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:53,200
supports up to 192 gigs on Windows 7 as

322
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:57,440
does Enterprise as does ultimate with home premium being the only one where I

323
00:23:55,600 --> 00:24:02,320
can imagine that users are going to run into a problem because it is limited to

324
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:05,280
16 gigs and we're not that far away from

325
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:10,880
being able to utilize 16 gigs or more if you do any sort of um video rendering or

326
00:24:09,360 --> 00:24:14,880
if you do any kind of 3D rendering. ing or anything like that. Okay, so you

327
00:24:13,279 --> 00:24:20,799
don't have to upgrade. That's number one. Number two is it's still built on

328
00:24:19,039 --> 00:24:24,080
the same kernel as Windows Vista. This is something people don't seem to think

329
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:29,120
about when they go, "Oh, what will performance be like on Windows 8 and

330
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:34,240
games?" It's guys, it's going to be the same as Windows 7, which was the same as

331
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:39,279
Windows Vista in spite of all the complaints about Windows Vista. um to to

332
00:24:37,120 --> 00:24:42,640
within sort of a a margin of error. It's going to be difficult to measure the

333
00:24:41,120 --> 00:24:47,760
difference in performance between these platforms because ultimately it's based

334
00:24:45,039 --> 00:24:52,080
on the same underlying platform. Now, Vista performed a little worse than

335
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:56,320
seven because there was additional bloat. The the OS was just it was

336
00:24:54,720 --> 00:25:00,880
bloated. It was demanding on the hardware just running in the background.

337
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:05,200
If anything, as long as there isn't some kind of

338
00:25:03,039 --> 00:25:08,880
dramatic driver incompatibility between the Windows 8 driver and the Windows 7

339
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:12,559
driver for your graphics card, or some kind of horrendous thing that happens,

340
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:17,200
in general, Windows 8 should, if anything, be faster than Windows 7 due

341
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:24,000
to how light it is on the hardware requirements. Remember, even a Tegra 3

342
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:26,159
running an allout Windows RTOS, which is

343
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:31,840
no less bloated than Windows 8 as far as I can tell is very responsive. So, if

344
00:25:29,919 --> 00:25:36,320
your computer has that little overhead that it's dealing with on the OS side,

345
00:25:34,559 --> 00:25:39,919
then I can't imagine any issues there. Okay.

346
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:46,159
So, number one, you don't have to upgrade. Number two, you

347
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:51,840
Yeah, there's no performance delta. Okay. Number three, and this is almost

348
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:53,600
the big one. How will Windows 8 affect

349
00:25:51,840 --> 00:26:01,120
gamers who are not necessarily married to the

350
00:25:57,360 --> 00:26:03,679
idea of the hardcore PC game? And I

351
00:26:01,120 --> 00:26:08,480
would argue that Windows 8 is going to be Is this really not charged? That's

352
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:12,480
going to be a problem for me tonight. Try holding it down. Okay. Well, this is

353
00:26:10,159 --> 00:26:16,720
this is my this is my showcase Android device. Ah, there it goes. Okay. So, my

354
00:26:13,919 --> 00:26:22,159
Galaxy Tab 10.1 that I love. That's my favorite Android tablet in spite of um

355
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:26,799
in spite of there being faster Tiger 3 ones. It's just I just love it. The

356
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:32,400
screen is amazing. I love pls screens. Um so iPad 2. So it is going to

357
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:37,919
introduce to the Windows ecosystem the potential for games like uh let's see if

358
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:42,720
I can find sort of the stupidest lowest common denominator kind of game. Games

359
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:46,320
like Papy Jump where ultimately this is it. Will you have to run these? I mean,

360
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:52,159
we've already got these games, you know, flashbased browser games. Um, but we're

361
00:26:49,360 --> 00:26:55,919
going to have easier access to them. So, you know, instead of going on

362
00:26:53,360 --> 00:27:01,679
neopets.com, ultimately you'll go on, I don't know, the Windows Store. Okay, so

363
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:04,400
there's that. Um, and it'll be more

364
00:27:01,679 --> 00:27:08,240
accessible. It'll also give us access to the newer things that we can do with

365
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:12,320
hardware on these kinds of mobile platforms with accelerometers and

366
00:27:09,919 --> 00:27:17,200
gyroscopes. So, you have more mo more motion control and potentially more

367
00:27:15,120 --> 00:27:22,720
things that that can be done with it. I'm really excited to see what game devs

368
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:26,960
can do with an API that they're used to such as DirectX with hardware that's

369
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:31,679
significantly more powerful than anything you'll see on an iPad anytime

370
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:37,919
soon or on an Android device where we've got Windows 8 running on tablet-like

371
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:40,159
devices or even larger devices with more

372
00:27:37,919 --> 00:27:45,600
powerful hardware. the kind of I mean the kind of gaming opportunities that

373
00:27:42,159 --> 00:27:47,760
this opens up um maybe not immediately

374
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:52,159
but in the near future are extremely exciting to me. I mean what if you could

375
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:56,559
play an RTS? Think of it like this like what this is just the kind of stuff to

376
00:27:54,080 --> 00:28:04,559
to just to think about before you reject the idea outright. What if your surface

377
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:07,360
could have a display on it that is

378
00:28:04,559 --> 00:28:11,039
that is like the mini map of an RTS that you're playing on the screen in front of

379
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:13,600
you like this. And think of it kind of like the Razer Switchblade. Is that is

380
00:28:12,799 --> 00:28:20,640
that what they call it? Yeah, the Switchblade interface where they've got this touch sensitive interface. What if

381
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:25,919
instead of using a mouse for an RTS, you actually used a gigantic touch pad like

382
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:29,279
this? Is it doable? I don't know. Maybe, maybe not. Maybe you still want a mouse.

383
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:33,840
Maybe you can still use a mouse. Maybe by then we have mice that are optimized

384
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:37,120
for use on top of a tablet. So you got your mini map here. You've got a bunch

385
00:28:35,679 --> 00:28:43,919
of interesting information here. You've got your screen in front of you. And all of a sudden you have that much that much

386
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:47,600
more that you can do. Maybe you go as maybe it's as maybe it's as cool as like

387
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:51,760
something like where you're like, "Oh crap, freak out time. Everyone retreat."

388
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:55,840
And they build in code into the game. So you can go like this with your entire

389
00:28:53,600 --> 00:29:00,159
tablet and everyone disengages and retreats. I mean, that's the kind of

390
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:04,880
thing that that more motion control and more potential for interface and more

391
00:29:03,039 --> 00:29:10,480
integration between all these different platforms can do. You look at sort of no

392
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:15,200
one's close. Android can integrate with your phone. It can integrate with your

393
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:18,000
browser, but Google is not going to have

394
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:21,520
a desktop OS anytime soon. Apple, you can integrate with your desktop OS. You

395
00:29:19,919 --> 00:29:25,840
can integrate with your phone. You can integrate with some of your apps, but

396
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:30,799
let's face it, they don't have that much on the app side that anyone would care

397
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:32,799
about integrating with. And I mean, do

398
00:29:30,799 --> 00:29:40,240
you really use an Apple desktop? Even if you have an iPhone, I have an iPhone.

399
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:42,399
There's nothing special about like like

400
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:45,600
this Apple experience that's like, oh, I have to have that. I have to have

401
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:50,880
through my desktop. Like, no, I'm not sold on the whole on the whole Apple

402
00:29:47,679 --> 00:29:52,960
desktop platform. So that will never be

403
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:58,320
an option for me. Whereas for me as a Windows user, this whole paradigm is

404
00:29:56,159 --> 00:30:05,440
very, very exciting. I've heard of a Wii U. Geez, the Twitch chat, these guys.

405
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:11,440
So yes, it opens up the potential for casual games on the Windows platform,

406
00:30:08,399 --> 00:30:12,880
which I mean, come on. I you you can poo

407
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:16,960
poo casual games all you want. You can go, "Oh, if it ain't Counterstrike,

408
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:22,000
uh, then it ain't nothing." But let's face it, have you ever played Plants and

409
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:24,000
Zombies? It's awesome. Um, and what

410
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:30,480
about Chrome OS? Chrome OS is just a browser. Get over it. Um, and honestly,

411
00:30:28,159 --> 00:30:34,000
I'm just not It's kind of what Smart Glass is. So, Smart Glass is another

412
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:38,080
example of where we're already there. I'm not that sold on Smart Glass right

413
00:30:35,919 --> 00:30:43,600
now, just because it there's some latency. It's not perfect. Once we get

414
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:49,360
uh a truly perfect wireless HDMI interface that's

415
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:53,200
that's fast enough and responsive enough. I mean, I'm all about

416
00:30:50,720 --> 00:31:00,159
responsive. I'm the kind of person who queued up to buy a dual core on day one

417
00:30:56,880 --> 00:31:03,760
X2 4400 plus because it was so much more

418
00:31:00,159 --> 00:31:05,760
responsive. I was all over SSD because I

419
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:11,279
want to increase the responsiveness. I have a very hard time moving away from

420
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:16,000
the responsiveness that I get with a desktop to something like a cloud

421
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:20,159
enabled service. I have a hard time using something wirelessly when I could

422
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:24,240
just plug it in with a wire and I could get a way better experience. I'm not

423
00:31:22,159 --> 00:31:29,039
ready to move away from that yet. So, I'm going to have to wait for myself

424
00:31:26,559 --> 00:31:33,440
until that maturity level has been reached so that I can use it the way I

425
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:38,399
would normally use a desktop PC even now.

426
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:40,399
Wow, there's like no viewers tonight. I

427
00:31:38,399 --> 00:31:43,640
did the uh Did the YouTube thing never go live?

428
00:31:44,799 --> 00:31:51,279
I actually I actually don't know. I sort of I sort of hope it went live. I hope

429
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:56,000
you guys will pardon me for a second here while I just find out if the

430
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:59,279
YouTube live stream starting now never

431
00:31:56,000 --> 00:32:02,640
went up. Oops. Let's go ahead and change

432
00:31:59,279 --> 00:32:04,159
that there. So, uh yeah, you know what?

433
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:07,919
Those of you who are here already though, you guys are awesome because

434
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:13,679
that means you guys either follow me on Twitter, follow me on Twitch, or you uh

435
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:17,440
what's the other option? Or you just memorized the schedule and

436
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:20,880
you don't follow me on Twitter and you don't follow me on Twitch. Either way,

437
00:32:18,799 --> 00:32:24,720
you're awesome. So, it's good. I can't believe I did not announce this on my

438
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:31,200
YouTube channel. You know what? I don't think I promised that um that topic of

439
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:33,200
why gamers care or why they don't care

440
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:35,840
um on the YouTube channel. So, we'll just You know what? I'm just gonna here

441
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:41,360
here. Watch Watch this. Watch this. Those of you Oops. Sorry. Those of you who are here already, see, I'm just

442
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:44,480
going to delete it. I'm going to pretend that never existed and that never

443
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:50,960
happened. Just like that. See?

444
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:54,640
Gone. Um there we go.

445
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:58,399
So, let's go ahead and do a little bit

446
00:32:54,640 --> 00:33:00,880
more Q&A. Chris asks, "Sandy bridge or

447
00:32:58,399 --> 00:33:07,440
Ivy Bridge?" To which I would rely I would rely upon you to ask me the

448
00:33:04,399 --> 00:33:09,919
question in which case um I will give an

449
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:14,640
answer and the answer will be I still prefer Ivy Bridge. Okay. Ivy Bridge

450
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:19,120
better IPC so more instructions per clock. It's a faster architecture. Sandy

451
00:33:16,799 --> 00:33:24,159
Bridge can overclock more or it can overclock not at all. So, in terms of

452
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:28,320
what you're getting as a guarantee, then Ivy Bridge is better. You could make the

453
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:31,840
argument that most Sandy Bridge chips are going to overclock pretty well, but

454
00:33:29,919 --> 00:33:37,360
I've also seen extreme editions. In fact, John Fatcock from Twitch, John,

455
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:41,679
what is his last name? How I think something like that. He has an extreme

456
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:45,840
edition that didn't overclock worth anything. So, it's never a guarantee.

457
00:33:43,679 --> 00:33:49,600
IvoryBridge has faster video transcode, which for me is relevant. I do use it.

458
00:33:47,679 --> 00:33:53,679
It's awesome for transcoding video to mobile ready formats. Although, again,

459
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:58,240
that's another thing I'm really excited about with Windows being like the thing

460
00:33:56,480 --> 00:34:02,399
to use because we won't have to worry about, you know, converting to some

461
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:07,840
stupid format just to play something back on my iPad. Um, so I would

462
00:34:05,919 --> 00:34:13,359
personally go Ivy Bridge. Does it run a little hotter? Maybe. Does it matter?

463
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:14,960
Probably not. Ah, Jenopi, building a new

464
00:34:13,359 --> 00:34:18,560
PC, Windows 7 or eight for gaming at the same price, just get Windows 8. Uh,

465
00:34:16,639 --> 00:34:22,560
it'll have a longer support cycle. I always recommend people buy the latest

466
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:26,960
OS. You will have to use it at some point. You will encounter it somewhere,

467
00:34:25,119 --> 00:34:30,480
so it's better to just figure out how to use it. Any reason you don't have an

468
00:34:28,720 --> 00:34:34,960
Android or Windows phone? Uh, because I'm not really a phone nerd. I I

469
00:34:32,399 --> 00:34:40,240
honestly I'm not. Um, when I got my phone, I had like an ancient BlackBerry,

470
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:42,720
you know, something that had like, you know, a keyboard and it like had a

471
00:34:41,599 --> 00:34:48,320
scroll wheel. It didn't have a touch screen. There was nothing fancy. And the iPhone 4 was already out, guys. So,

472
00:34:45,839 --> 00:34:53,280
that's how that's how far into better smartphones we we were um or we were at

473
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:59,200
the time. So, the choices for me were Galaxy S and iPhone. That was about it.

474
00:34:57,040 --> 00:35:03,599
And out of those two, my wife ended up going with the Galaxy S Vibrant and I

475
00:35:01,359 --> 00:35:07,839
went with the iPhone. Based on our experiences owning these platforms over

476
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:12,800
longer periods of time, I would make the argument that I made a way better

477
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:15,760
choice. Her her Android device is still

478
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:19,920
running Gingerbread, which is Um there is absolutely no reason other

479
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:24,400
than you know Android devices not getting the

480
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:29,760
support that they really should that that device should not be running on a

481
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:33,599
newer OS. Okay. Whereas I get iOS 6 which I haven't upgraded to mind you

482
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:40,400
because I'm worried about not having maps. Um yes I do.

483
00:35:38,079 --> 00:35:44,640
Um I do see the chat but I don't always really I don't really reply to questions

484
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:48,160
from Twitch chat mostly from Twitter. um at Linus Techch if you're not already

485
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:52,160
following me on Twitter. So, I probably made the right choice. Both of our

486
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:56,160
phones still work. Um except that my dock connector is still durable and

487
00:35:54,320 --> 00:36:00,720
still charges my phone reliably and her stupid micro USB connector is so broken

488
00:35:59,359 --> 00:36:04,400
that I have to like go in there with a needle and like bend it really hard just

489
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:10,320
to get it to charge once in a while. And it lasts for a while. Um her phone has

490
00:36:08,079 --> 00:36:14,720
crashed numerous times more than mine has. So, when it's time for me to get a

491
00:36:12,720 --> 00:36:18,880
new phone, basically when my iPhone 4 dies, because I'm not a phone nerd.

492
00:36:16,720 --> 00:36:24,240
iPhone 4 does absolutely everything I could possibly need a phone to do

493
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:26,079
already. It's fast enough for me. Um,

494
00:36:24,240 --> 00:36:30,079
when it dies, then I'll reevaluate and I'll look at I'll look at what's

495
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:34,960
available. Although, I'm not I'm not much of an Android guy. I'm just really

496
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:40,160
not. I mean, I use it when I have to, but if I could switch to Windows RT

497
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:44,640
tomorrow and Windows Phone tomorrow, that would probably be the way I'd go

498
00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:47,280
based on my experience so far today. So,

499
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:50,480
um, yeah, there you go. Lionus, is it a good idea to wait for Black Friday sales

500
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:56,720
to get a totally new system? Yes, Black Friday sales are amazing. Why are TN

501
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:58,720
panels so bad? Well, they're just bad.

502
00:36:56,720 --> 00:37:02,880
They have bad viewing angles and bad color. They're just bad. Don't get them.

503
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:06,960
They're fast. So, if you need 3D, you have to get TN. But there you go. Uh,

504
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:09,920
Lionus, how would you convince someone on Windows 7 to upgrade to Windows 8? I

505
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:14,160
would tell them if they don't have a compelling need for Windows 8, then uh

506
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:18,160
they probably don't need to. But I'm going to talk about storage spaces,

507
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:22,480
which if you're a storage nerd, you guys are going to want to check out. Storage

508
00:37:20,079 --> 00:37:26,640
spaces on Windows 8 is amazing, and I will be talking more about that later.

509
00:37:25,119 --> 00:37:30,880
Shady Skull says, "First time in the live stream." Shout out to Sweden. Hi,

510
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:35,520
Sweden. And that is a very expensive new computer, Shady Skull. Ah, Chromium OS,

511
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:40,560
whatever. If your personal rig is on hold, what rig are you using for personal use? Believe it or not, I'm

512
00:37:38,240 --> 00:37:45,359
using a laptop as my daily driver right now. Isn't that crazy? I'm using my MSI

513
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:50,320
uh quadcore gaming laptop, which actually isn't that bad.

514
00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:54,640
U Mitch says, "I'm not the only Canadian in the world who doesn't drink." Thank

515
00:37:51,680 --> 00:38:00,960
you, Mitch. Is Nexus 7 a good choice? Yes. Um, I'm I I don't know how sold I

516
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:05,760
am on this whole iPad mini thing. Uh, it's like Christmas for Muslims, but you

517
00:38:04,079 --> 00:38:11,119
still spared one and a half hours for the live stream. Thank you. I appreciate

518
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:13,760
that. You are awesome. Uh, Logitech G710

519
00:38:11,119 --> 00:38:19,280
Plus unboxing is coming soon, but tonight and today I had to do my Vivo

520
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:24,000
Tab RT and I have to do the uh the

521
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:25,359
Surface and so Yeah. There's Yeah. Yeah.

522
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:30,480
Yeah. What keyboard am I using right now? I am

523
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:32,720
using a Filco Cherry MX Blue uh 10

524
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:36,079
keyless keyboard right now. Cherry MX Blues are the best. They're amazing. I

525
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:38,960
love them. Uh Linus, quit answering questions about

526
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:43,200
your wife or she's going to ground you. You are 100% right. That is exactly what

527
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:46,960
would happen. Any updates on the Prodigy Hackintosh build? I finally have a

528
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:53,440
motherboard. However, I've had no time. Things have been so crazy. FX8350 is

529
00:38:50,240 --> 00:38:55,920
about 15% faster than an 8150. 10 15%

530
00:38:53,440 --> 00:39:01,119
faster. Total War gamers. I love Total War. Although the only one I ever played

531
00:38:57,359 --> 00:39:02,720
was uh Rome Total War. Um CW asks, "How

532
00:39:01,119 --> 00:39:06,160
was the learning curve on Windows 8?" I haven't spent as much time with Windows

533
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:09,280
8 as I'd like. Um although when I finally finish my personal rig, I will

534
00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:14,240
be installing Windows 8 on it as the first thing that I do. Um, but if you

535
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:19,040
tweet um at Slickp

536
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:23,040
knows better than me, if you tweet him, he's been using Windows 8 pretty much

537
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:27,599
since the developer preview came out and he really likes it. He's using it on on

538
00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:33,839
a laptop without um without a touchcreen. Lionus, do you even lift?

539
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:36,160
No, I do. I do not lift. Um I I play

540
00:39:33,839 --> 00:39:41,359
badminton. So those of you who think badminton is a wussy sport, to you I

541
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:46,079
would go like this. Badminton. That's it. Nothing else.

542
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:49,920
Badminton. Um, hi. I'm from France. I've gone

543
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:54,079
swimming a few times in the last little bit, but this is from badinton. And I

544
00:39:52,560 --> 00:40:02,000
haven't even played in a couple months. These were way better. Way better.

545
00:39:57,599 --> 00:40:03,839
Um, Paul asked, "Can I beat ASUS's JJ in

546
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:06,800
a straight up fist fight?" You know what? He's got enough of, and I don't

547
00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:12,400
don't take this the wrong way. He's got enough of a weight advantage that I

548
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:15,599
think I'd be in trouble. Um,

549
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:17,839
so I I think I'm going to I think I'm

550
00:40:15,599 --> 00:40:22,160
going to And someone suggested that it was from a lack of eating. You know

551
00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:25,359
what? I'm going to show you my dinner.

552
00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:28,000
This is homemade sweet and sour sauce on

553
00:40:25,359 --> 00:40:33,520
like with like chicken balls and rice and it's like full of carbs and full of

554
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:35,440
like meat and uh and like breaded

555
00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:41,839
chicken and it's delicious and awesome and I know I'm a food guy. Trust me,

556
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:43,760
food guy. All right. Uh you talked about

557
00:40:41,839 --> 00:40:48,160
the FT3 Mini, but what is my opinion of the FTO3? It's it's it's great. It's the

558
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:54,880
MATX version. I'd get the mini personally because I don't need the expansion for a computer like that. But

559
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:58,079
awesome. Hey, hey, Dan's joining us. Hi,

560
00:40:54,880 --> 00:41:01,119
Dan. Uh, went to a nude beach around the

561
00:40:58,079 --> 00:41:03,680
UBC area. It was a nightmare. Uh, yeah,

562
00:41:01,119 --> 00:41:08,400
that was must have been Wreck Beach. So, I'm sorry to hear that you went to Wreck

563
00:41:05,599 --> 00:41:13,680
Beach. But uh see that's the thing about nude beaches is just it's like

564
00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:18,079
nude beaches are all about people who might go okay they're either about

565
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:22,319
people who don't care and I guess you know if you got if you know you're kind

566
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:26,079
of a hippie and you don't care then then that's cool but if you're a hippie and

567
00:41:24,240 --> 00:41:31,920
you don't care about sort of showing off your goods then um my suggestion would

568
00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:36,640
be that never at any point in your life would you have been through a time when

569
00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:40,800
people sort augling your goods or staring at you would have made you

570
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:45,520
uncomfortable like because if you'd grown up with that kind of an experience

571
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:47,760
so let's say hot people this is just

572
00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:51,119
sort of my imagination of how this might work. Um, so if you're as long as you're

573
00:41:49,599 --> 00:41:55,680
not one of that people, one of those people, that's probably how you end up with that kind of a mentality. And so

574
00:41:54,000 --> 00:42:01,599
you end up at a nude beach. And then the other people who might go to nude beaches would be people who want to see

575
00:41:58,319 --> 00:42:03,119
other hot people. And those people like

576
00:42:01,599 --> 00:42:08,400
sort of, you know, your your bushes creepers might not necessarily be the

577
00:42:05,599 --> 00:42:12,720
hottest people either. So for the most part, especially here in Vancouver,

578
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:16,160
although it might be different in other cultures, I know Europeans have very

579
00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:22,319
different cultures with respect to things like nudity. Um,

580
00:42:19,359 --> 00:42:25,520
here in North America, it's not as much the norm. And it's one of those things

581
00:42:24,079 --> 00:42:29,440
where it's like more like the weird people go there. Um, and I'm not I'm not

582
00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:33,760
saying that they're all weird. These are generalizations. And generalizations,

583
00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:38,480
while they may be generally true, are never 100% true. So, don't take this the

584
00:42:36,240 --> 00:42:43,680
wrong way. Any of you who are into nude beaches and you're super hot. Although,

585
00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:45,280
I mean, um, you know, tweet me a pic as

586
00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:49,440
long as you're not a dude. Although, who am I kidding? 90. Uh, for the live

587
00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:53,760
streams, the numbers are even more hilarious than on most of my videos.

588
00:42:51,119 --> 00:42:57,440
Most of my videos, it's around 97% male. The people who actually tune in and

589
00:42:55,280 --> 00:43:03,440
watch the live streams are 98 point something high percent male. Almost 99%

590
00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:07,760
male. So, actually, do not send me any pictures. Thank you.

591
00:43:06,240 --> 00:43:12,319
Um, I have no idea why Twitch doesn't work

592
00:43:09,359 --> 00:43:18,560
on Google. Um, I have Twitch open in Google. It is here.

593
00:43:15,839 --> 00:43:24,400
See, this is my Google, this is my Twitch, and that's my stream. So, yeah.

594
00:43:21,839 --> 00:43:28,400
Uh, Pepk. Who here doesn't know what Pepk means? If you don't know what Pepk

595
00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:32,319
means, it's kind of an English play on words. It means problem exists between

596
00:43:30,240 --> 00:43:38,000
chair and keyboard, which is the way of saying user error that a lot of users

597
00:43:34,319 --> 00:43:39,920
won't understand you. All right, so I

598
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:44,000
want to do another topic here. We've got over a thousand viewers now that I

599
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:49,200
remembered to uh to send out the YouTube notification. So, let's talk. What do

600
00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:52,640
you guys want to see? You know what? I'll let uh I'll let the Twitch chat

601
00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:56,720
vote because I never really let them do anything.

602
00:43:54,480 --> 00:44:00,640
You guys want to see Windows 8 touch and my take on that on the various

603
00:43:58,319 --> 00:44:04,720
platforms? Do you want to hear about drive spaces for Windows 8? or do you

604
00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:09,440
want to hear my thoughts on Surface versus iPad versus Android for me

605
00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:13,680
personally with an emphasis on Windows RT and Surface? So, Twitch chat, what do

606
00:44:12,240 --> 00:44:18,480
you guys got for me? Here we go. Let's see what they say. They all want to hear

607
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:25,359
about Drivespaces. Okay, drives spaces is so exciting. So, I want to start with

608
00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:28,480
how much I loved Windows Home Server.

609
00:44:25,359 --> 00:44:31,440
Windows Home Server was the best project

610
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:34,400
that Microsoft ever completely abandoned or at least it looked like they

611
00:44:32,720 --> 00:44:38,880
abandoned. So, Windows Home Server had two revisions. The first revision had

612
00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:43,359
the most amazing feature ever called the drive pool. The drive poolool was

613
00:44:40,319 --> 00:44:46,960
awesome because it allowed me a totally

614
00:44:43,359 --> 00:44:50,800
cheap bastard to take well in some ways.

615
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:54,480
Okay, so cheap bastard to take a 24 bay

616
00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:56,079
4U case. So, I could fit as many like 24

617
00:44:54,480 --> 00:45:02,720
uh three and a half inch drives in, as many as I wanted. Total mish mash of

618
00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:04,800
capacities, total mishmash of brands.

619
00:45:02,720 --> 00:45:10,319
Some of them were reertified, some of them were new. It was just like it would

620
00:45:07,599 --> 00:45:15,440
be a nightmare to any kind of a storage engineer. They'd just be like,

621
00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:20,560
"What are you doing?" Um, but it allowed me to run that for years without losing

622
00:45:18,319 --> 00:45:26,079
any data in spite of the fact that I lost somewhere between six and a dozen

623
00:45:23,599 --> 00:45:29,760
drives in that time because drive poolool or store drive extender or

624
00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:37,359
whatever the heck they called it. Yeah, storage pool. Storage drive pool, whatever. drive pool um allowed you to

625
00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:42,560
create like a pseudo fake RAID one where if you inserted for example two 320 gig

626
00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:45,680
drives and one 640 gig drive the software would be constantly pinging

627
00:45:44,319 --> 00:45:52,960
those drives going what do you have what do you have what do you have what do you have and then if you set up duplication

628
00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:56,240
every 10 minutes 15 minutes hour or so it would just kind of check anything

629
00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:59,839
changed anything changed and it would check all those drives and say okay do

630
00:45:58,160 --> 00:46:06,000
any of these drives have something on them that is not replicated somewhere

631
00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:08,720
else and then it would do

632
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:13,200
it would do the equivalent of if you manually copied the folder or the file

633
00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:17,440
from one drive to another. So it was a filebased replication. So you're not

634
00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:23,040
relying on a RAID card. You're not relying on a chipset. It's just SATA

635
00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:26,000
SATA. And then you can take the drive out, you can put it in another computer,

636
00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:31,520
you can read all that data off it, you can restore things. It was brilliant in

637
00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:32,880
its simplicity. Um, so it would make

638
00:46:31,520 --> 00:46:37,920
sure that there all the data on your system was present on at least two drives at any given time. So it didn't

639
00:46:36,079 --> 00:46:41,119
have the advantages of RAID five or RAID six where you can glean a lot more

640
00:46:39,599 --> 00:46:45,520
storage out of your drives, but it had the advantage where you don't have to buy a bunch of matching drives all at

641
00:46:43,599 --> 00:46:50,880
the same time, which come on, who has money for that and like expensive RAID

642
00:46:47,119 --> 00:46:53,520
cards to run RAID 6. Um, so, so that was

643
00:46:50,880 --> 00:46:57,520
why that appealed to me and, uh, I used it for a long time, really liked it. But

644
00:46:55,200 --> 00:47:03,119
the problem was that advanced format drives, 4K sector drives are not

645
00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:06,560
compatible with the way that drive poolool was written, the way it was

646
00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:09,520
designed. So, they were going to try to implement something and there's third

647
00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:14,240
party implementations for Windows Home Server 2011. I don't trust a third party

648
00:47:11,839 --> 00:47:19,280
implementation. I inherently like, you know, am I a Microsoft fanboy? Maybe

649
00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:22,319
not. But I tend to, you know, hold them a little bit closer to my heart than

650
00:47:20,720 --> 00:47:27,920
some random software deb that I'm going to trust with all of my like 15

651
00:47:25,359 --> 00:47:31,680
terabytes of archived video and all my photos and like no, I just don't trust

652
00:47:29,440 --> 00:47:35,760
it. Um, so the only other option was to go

653
00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:38,400
proper raid because they were going to implement it and they cut out drive

654
00:47:37,280 --> 00:47:43,280
poolool and I was like that's the craziest thing I ever heard. I had no

655
00:47:41,119 --> 00:47:51,280
idea storage spaces was coming. So, storage spaces is going to allow users

656
00:47:46,640 --> 00:47:53,599
running Windows 8, whether it is on a

657
00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:56,079
server type of system that you run separately from everything else. Okay?

658
00:47:55,040 --> 00:48:03,440
So, you can just create like a little Windows 8 storage server and stick it in a closet or whether it's on your PC

659
00:48:00,079 --> 00:48:06,560
itself. It will allow you to take again

660
00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:11,440
mix and match drives and run fake RAID

661
00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:14,319
one or even fake RAID five which is very

662
00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:18,800
very cool because computers are so fast now like I mean come on who's been doing

663
00:48:16,319 --> 00:48:23,520
this a while who remembers back when you used to read a motherboard review and

664
00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:28,559
they would round up five different motherboards and tell you which one had

665
00:48:26,160 --> 00:48:33,520
the lowest CPU utilization while you were transferring files at 10100 100

666
00:48:30,960 --> 00:48:37,920
speeds or even gigabit speeds over a network. Now, we don't even care. When

667
00:48:36,480 --> 00:48:43,760
was the last time you saw anyone talk about that? It's totally irrelevant

668
00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:46,240
because you could take one hyperthreaded

669
00:48:43,760 --> 00:48:52,559
of one of your cores, set that aside, and that could handle, excuse me, any By

670
00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:57,760
the way, this is a G9, not a RAT 7, for those of you who seem to think I have a

671
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:59,839
RAT 7. Um,

672
00:48:57,760 --> 00:49:04,880
where was I going with that? something something something. Oh crap, now I've

673
00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:11,040
totally lost track. Blah blah blah blah blah. Right. You could set aside a small

674
00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:12,960
fraction of your processing power and

675
00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:16,319
you can do all the gigabit you want and you can do all the sound processing you

676
00:49:14,960 --> 00:49:19,920
want. These are things people used to care about. You can do all the RAID you

677
00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:24,000
want even. I mean, you'd have to have a pretty big pretty badass array by the

678
00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:30,000
time you actually run into some kind of a computational limitation. So now your

679
00:49:27,920 --> 00:49:35,440
OS can just handle it. And the great thing about it is again you have that

680
00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:38,000
ability to um to to mix and match

681
00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:44,319
capacities and manufacturers and just not even care about it at all. And I

682
00:49:41,839 --> 00:49:50,240
personally think that that is amazing. I think it's one of the best things about

683
00:49:45,839 --> 00:49:52,559
Windows 8 and uh because it will enable

684
00:49:50,240 --> 00:49:57,040
real people and this is the problem. This is the problem with storage over

685
00:49:54,319 --> 00:50:00,880
the years. real people can't afford it. We can afford hard drives. Sure, we can

686
00:49:59,040 --> 00:50:04,559
afford like, you know, your cheapo green drives or your cheapo consumer drives,

687
00:50:02,880 --> 00:50:08,240
but by the time you start getting into enterprisegrade drives, which are the

688
00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:11,599
ones that actually won't fail, um you when used in a storage application, by

689
00:50:10,400 --> 00:50:16,000
the time you get into those, they're really expensive. And then you tell an

690
00:50:13,839 --> 00:50:21,040
average user, "No, no, you have to buy twice as many of them."

691
00:50:18,559 --> 00:50:25,119
They're like, "What? What? I have to I have to buy twice as many of them before

692
00:50:22,559 --> 00:50:30,640
it's even remotely safe." I mean, that's crazy talk. Whereas now, Microsoft with

693
00:50:28,640 --> 00:50:34,400
the storage spaces is building in RAID 5, which means you don't have to have

694
00:50:32,240 --> 00:50:40,000
twice as much. You can have one parody bit for the entire thing. Okay? Not to

695
00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:44,880
mention, you can also mix and match everything. And as you need more space,

696
00:50:42,319 --> 00:50:51,359
you can continue to add drives. Whereas you have to have a pretty high-end RAID

697
00:50:46,720 --> 00:50:53,440
controller like an LSI, Adapt um

698
00:50:51,359 --> 00:50:57,599
yeah, like an LSI or an Adapt RAID controller in order to have that kind of

699
00:50:55,359 --> 00:51:00,319
functionality and that's really expensive. So you tell people first you

700
00:50:59,200 --> 00:51:03,920
tell people, oh, you have to have twice as many drives. And if you don't want to have twice as many drives, you have to

701
00:51:02,720 --> 00:51:09,040
spend a few hundred bucks on a RAID card. And that's a very entry-level RAID card. Realistically, you want to run any

702
00:51:07,520 --> 00:51:15,200
decent number of drives, you're spending 800 bucks or more on a RAID card. Um,

703
00:51:12,880 --> 00:51:19,359
you know, okay, they start at maybe sort of 450 for high-end RAID cards that have

704
00:51:17,920 --> 00:51:23,920
fast processors. Well, now you don't care because you're using your CPU to

705
00:51:21,119 --> 00:51:27,680
deal with it. So, that's where I'm at on storage spaces. If anyone has any

706
00:51:25,440 --> 00:51:31,680
additional questions on storage spaces, I will let the Twitch chat see if they

707
00:51:29,680 --> 00:51:38,960
want to contribute anything about storage spaces. You bought a 926016i for

708
00:51:35,280 --> 00:51:41,200
only 400 bucks. Wow, that's a good deal.

709
00:51:38,960 --> 00:51:46,880
Someone says they got a very high-end RAID card for only 400 bucks.

710
00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:50,880
Um, I like storage. Windows 8 is pointless without more touchscreen

711
00:51:48,400 --> 00:51:54,640
monitors. I'm not that sold on the whole touchscreen monitor thing with Windows 8

712
00:51:52,640 --> 00:51:59,599
to be perfectly honest. How do you enable storage spaces? Actually, not

713
00:51:56,559 --> 00:52:03,359
having done it yet, I uh I don't want to

714
00:51:59,599 --> 00:52:05,200
I don't want to sort of speculate. Um,

715
00:52:03,359 --> 00:52:12,359
do you something something I will have an episode coming about storage spaces

716
00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:12,359
soon. So, yes, I'm very excited.

717
00:52:12,559 --> 00:52:19,760
Yeah, you guys don't really seem to have much to contribute here. Sorry, guys. No, my house is not paid off. I'm like

718
00:52:17,599 --> 00:52:24,800
26, you guys. Do I look like I have my house paid off? Um, all right. So, I

719
00:52:23,200 --> 00:52:30,880
want to move right into my next topic here, which is going to be Windows 8 and

720
00:52:29,119 --> 00:52:36,640
touch. So, we'll finish up with the surface. Windows 8 and touch.

721
00:52:35,359 --> 00:52:41,040
For this part, it would actually be useful if I could move the camera around, but I'll have to just kind of

722
00:52:38,960 --> 00:52:45,760
mime it out for you guys as best I can. Or maybe I can move this monitor so you

723
00:52:43,280 --> 00:52:49,200
can Yeah, this will help you guys. Wh Oh, that was close. This will help you

724
00:52:47,440 --> 00:52:55,040
guys visualize. Windows 8 is probably one of the

725
00:52:52,160 --> 00:52:58,720
broadest operating systems we've seen in a long time because there will be a

726
00:52:56,480 --> 00:53:03,040
server adaptation, there's a desktop adaptation, it is meant for use for

727
00:53:01,200 --> 00:53:10,160
professional use, there's a professional skew. Um, there's a tablet adaptation,

728
00:53:06,720 --> 00:53:13,599
and the OS itself, the home OS, just

729
00:53:10,160 --> 00:53:15,280
flat out runs on tablets. So, and not to

730
00:53:13,599 --> 00:53:19,920
mention there will be a phone adaptation which will use many of the same

731
00:53:16,640 --> 00:53:22,880
elements. So, with all of that sort of

732
00:53:19,920 --> 00:53:26,800
in mind, Windows 8 is also extremely touch optimized. So, yeah, it's fast,

733
00:53:25,280 --> 00:53:33,200
it's lightweight, that allows it to run all these devices, but I am super sold

734
00:53:30,480 --> 00:53:37,200
on touch from a phone perspective. I think that right now it would be

735
00:53:34,960 --> 00:53:41,040
impossible for me to go back to like a tactile interface phone that actually

736
00:53:38,800 --> 00:53:48,319
uses like arrow keys and a menu. Impossible. Impossible. Um, for as a

737
00:53:44,480 --> 00:53:50,000
tablet experience, touch is Oh, I got my

738
00:53:48,319 --> 00:53:53,920
screen filter app on here. So, I'm just gonna turn that. Oh, no. I didn't.

739
00:53:52,800 --> 00:53:59,440
Apparently, I just have the screen brightness turned way down on this thing. I usually use it at night. So,

740
00:53:57,200 --> 00:54:02,160
um, touchscreen on a tablet. I think we can all agree that anything other than

741
00:54:00,800 --> 00:54:08,480
touchscreen on a tablet would be redonkulous at this point. Touchscreen

742
00:54:04,960 --> 00:54:10,720
on a notebook I am very excited about.

743
00:54:08,480 --> 00:54:14,640
I'm going to be using the Surface or uh the Surface here for Microsoft to

744
00:54:12,720 --> 00:54:19,200
simulate what touchscreen on a notebook might look like if you were using it at

745
00:54:16,400 --> 00:54:26,040
a desk or at your lap. Touch is awesome because you can be Oh, just a sec, guys.

746
00:54:22,240 --> 00:54:26,040
Sorry. Uh

747
00:54:31,040 --> 00:54:36,720
okay. And my baby was using this last time, so it's kind of borked up right

748
00:54:34,240 --> 00:54:41,520
now. But uh so touch on on a device like this is outstanding because you can go

749
00:54:39,359 --> 00:54:44,800
uh task switcher apparently I'm going to try and use that. It's not going to work

750
00:54:43,119 --> 00:54:50,720
for me right now of course. So you can be typing on a document and then a

751
00:54:48,240 --> 00:54:54,880
second later you can be like oh okay I want to read more about that. So I'll go

752
00:54:52,480 --> 00:54:59,839
back to Windows and I want to go to I don't know whatever internet explorer.

753
00:54:56,960 --> 00:55:04,480
And then for me at this point it is very natural

754
00:55:01,359 --> 00:55:05,920
to browse websites like this to Oh,

755
00:55:04,480 --> 00:55:12,000
what's that? Oh, that's kind of cool. That switches to the mobile version of the website. Neat. Okay. It's very

756
00:55:10,319 --> 00:55:17,440
natural for me to swipe like this when I'm reading. I find it easier to manage

757
00:55:14,800 --> 00:55:22,240
than page up, page down, arrow keys, or like scrolling over here and finding the

758
00:55:20,480 --> 00:55:27,359
little bar and moving it down. Like I'm just I'm not sold on those ways of

759
00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:29,280
interacting anymore. So

760
00:55:27,359 --> 00:55:34,720
yes, for reading, casual reading, for for video, it's again very natural for

761
00:55:32,240 --> 00:55:38,480
me to sit and watch video like this and then just kind of, you know, touch it or

762
00:55:36,960 --> 00:55:44,640
scroll around like this rather than reaching over for the mouse. I'm much more comfortable. So yes, I'm super sold

763
00:55:42,400 --> 00:55:49,119
on touch for notebook. And the reason for this comes down to distance. I am

764
00:55:47,119 --> 00:55:53,440
close enough to a notebook that I can type on it comfortably like this. See,

765
00:55:51,359 --> 00:55:58,400
shoulders relaxed, back straight. How do you type on a notebook? Then I can reach

766
00:55:55,839 --> 00:56:01,599
my screen by moving this much. If you're any further away than that, it's not

767
00:55:59,920 --> 00:56:05,280
going to happen. This is the same kind of thing that causes problems for people

768
00:56:03,680 --> 00:56:09,040
who have, say, for example, two-handed passwords where you have to take your

769
00:56:06,799 --> 00:56:13,440
hand off your mouse, physically move it over this much, type your password, and

770
00:56:11,040 --> 00:56:16,960
go back to your mouse. It's obnoxious. If I'm using the internet like this, and

771
00:56:15,440 --> 00:56:21,599
I kind of go, "Oh, I want to enter a URL." Doom, there's my keyboard. I go

772
00:56:19,760 --> 00:56:24,480
there, and then boom, I'm going to scroll around. I'm not actually

773
00:56:23,040 --> 00:56:30,000
connected to Wi-Fi right now, guys. Sorry. So, this isn't going to work. But, um, but that's very natural because

774
00:56:28,160 --> 00:56:34,000
it's so close. You're not moving very far. You're moving like three inches

775
00:56:31,520 --> 00:56:39,200
away or for my uh, you know, for all my fellow Canadians, you're moving like 8

776
00:56:35,920 --> 00:56:42,960
cm away, 9 cm away, and it's very

777
00:56:39,200 --> 00:56:44,960
natural. On the desktop, touch poses

778
00:56:42,960 --> 00:56:50,640
some problems for me. And I've done videos about it. I've spent time with

779
00:56:46,640 --> 00:56:53,280
Windows 8 on the desktop. And I have a

780
00:56:50,640 --> 00:56:58,240
big problem for one reason. This is how I use a desktop. This is a 27in monitor

781
00:56:56,319 --> 00:57:02,559
right here, guys. Okay, it's big. I don't sit this close to it. I don't have

782
00:56:59,920 --> 00:57:05,760
my keyboard here to the point where this is how I'm using my computer with my

783
00:57:04,319 --> 00:57:11,520
keyboard right against it so that it would be quick to touch. I use my

784
00:57:08,400 --> 00:57:14,799
desktop computer more from a distance of

785
00:57:11,520 --> 00:57:17,280
let's say about

786
00:57:14,799 --> 00:57:22,720
Oh, I just Oh my goodness. I just closed the iPad in there. Oops, there it is.

787
00:57:20,880 --> 00:57:27,119
It's all good. I would have never found that. Okay, here's how I use my desktop.

788
00:57:25,680 --> 00:57:32,079
I want to be at a comfortable distance, which for a 27 inch 1080p monitor is

789
00:57:29,599 --> 00:57:35,359
about here. So, I got my I got my mouse in my hand here. I got my keyboard in

790
00:57:33,920 --> 00:57:40,400
front of me here. This is how I type. This is comfortable. This is where I'd

791
00:57:37,520 --> 00:57:44,640
need my touchcreen to be. This is where my touch screen is.

792
00:57:42,720 --> 00:57:49,280
How? Like, try this. Okay, guys. Try this. Remember, touchscreen is for

793
00:57:46,799 --> 00:57:53,520
casual use, casual interaction. You go like this, you scroll around, you zoom.

794
00:57:51,520 --> 00:57:57,200
Touchscreen is meant to be very relaxed. If your shoulders aren't relaxed, if

795
00:57:55,440 --> 00:58:01,200
you're not comfortable, it's not going to work. Okay?

796
00:57:59,359 --> 00:58:05,119
Do this. Do this. Everyone watching, hold your ARM out like this, fully

797
00:58:03,119 --> 00:58:07,839
extended with your shoulder forward. Like, reach out to your computer. If

798
00:58:06,720 --> 00:58:14,640
you're on a computer right now, reach out to your screen. Now, hold your ARM there for the next sort of um I don't

799
00:58:12,480 --> 00:58:19,040
know, two minutes of the live stream. just hold your ARM there and kind of go

800
00:58:16,240 --> 00:58:27,599
like this a little bit. I guarantee you get tired. So touchscreen to me is

801
00:58:23,280 --> 00:58:30,240
almost like um it's almost like

802
00:58:27,599 --> 00:58:33,599
a go one way or go completely the other way

803
00:58:31,760 --> 00:58:37,440
experience on the desktop. So, you either have a computer sitting in your

804
00:58:35,359 --> 00:58:42,960
kitchen that doesn't even have a mouse and a keyboard at it and is just a touch

805
00:58:40,079 --> 00:58:47,760
computer where you're running um modern UI or Metro UI

806
00:58:45,920 --> 00:58:51,040
uh and that's it and that's the way you're using it and maybe you have like

807
00:58:49,040 --> 00:58:54,359
a keyboard in a drawer somewhere nearby that's wireless

808
00:58:54,480 --> 00:59:03,839
or you use Windows 8 with a mouse and a keyboard like a normal human being and

809
00:58:59,119 --> 00:59:06,559
that's where we're at. So yeah,

810
00:59:03,839 --> 00:59:12,079
touchscreen not sold on the desktop, very sold on mobile and very sold on

811
00:59:09,920 --> 00:59:15,680
notebook. I think notebook is almost going to be or or you know something

812
00:59:13,920 --> 00:59:20,000
like Surface where it's bridging that gap between tablet and notebook is going

813
00:59:17,760 --> 00:59:24,720
to be the magic device where all of a sudden mouse, keyboard, touch, all of

814
00:59:22,640 --> 00:59:28,240
these things make awesome sense and you can do whatever is most convenient. I

815
00:59:26,319 --> 00:59:33,359
mean, I'd be lying if I said I haven't been sitting at a notebook before with a

816
00:59:30,400 --> 00:59:37,920
glossy screen and think, "Oh, yeah, I'll just uh I'll scroll this." And I kind of

817
00:59:35,359 --> 00:59:41,200
go, "Oh, right. It's not touchscreen." I've never done that with a desktop

818
00:59:39,839 --> 00:59:44,640
because when you're at a desktop, you have a proper keyboard. Half the problem

819
00:59:43,040 --> 00:59:48,559
is when you're at a notebook, you're hunting for a stupid function key and

820
00:59:46,799 --> 00:59:55,200
then you're trying to remember which function key is like page up and page

821
00:59:50,640 --> 00:59:57,119
down. Is it the arrows up?

822
00:59:55,200 --> 01:00:01,599
Is it something up in the top right? You don't know where it is. So that's why

823
00:59:59,680 --> 01:00:05,280
instead of uh thinking about it, I might reach and try to go like this. At a

824
01:00:03,599 --> 01:00:09,680
desktop, I know where my page up and my page down is. Unless I bought like a

825
01:00:07,280 --> 01:00:12,720
like a ridiculous keyboard that doesn't have them here, then that's where they

826
01:00:11,200 --> 01:00:16,480
are. That's where they are. It's end of the story. That's where they are. And

827
01:00:14,400 --> 01:00:20,880
you've also got arrow keys. And you've also got a mouse wheel. Mouse wheel

828
01:00:18,960 --> 01:00:24,720
makes all the difference in the world. You don't have a mouse wheel. This is

829
01:00:22,799 --> 01:00:29,680
almost like this is almost the replacement for mouse wheel for me in

830
01:00:26,880 --> 01:00:35,200
terms of what I would actually use touch for on. And yes, this is a Playboy mouse

831
01:00:32,400 --> 01:00:40,160
pad. You guys get over it. Twitch chat's going crazy about the Playboy mouse pad.

832
01:00:37,359 --> 01:00:45,920
Um, but that's what I would actually use touch for on a on a on a notebook style

833
01:00:42,799 --> 01:00:49,680
device. So, there you go. That is my

834
01:00:45,920 --> 01:00:51,200
take on that. Um, let's do a little bit

835
01:00:49,680 --> 01:00:55,760
more in terms of Twitter Twitter questions here before we move on to my

836
01:00:53,440 --> 01:01:02,240
last topic. And I want to talk about Surface a lot prior to the unboxing that

837
01:00:59,119 --> 01:01:05,040
I will be adding later uh later tonight.

838
01:01:02,240 --> 01:01:07,599
So, 196 new interactions. I hate touchscreen because there's always

839
01:01:06,079 --> 01:01:12,720
fingerprints. Yeah, I don't know. I'm used to it. I used to It used to drive

840
01:01:09,200 --> 01:01:15,040
me crazy, but um hi Linus in stream. You

841
01:01:12,720 --> 01:01:19,680
say get a Soundcore because it's better. Yes, you will notice a difference.

842
01:01:17,680 --> 01:01:24,000
Can we get Windows 8 for 15? If you have a system with Windows 7, you can get a

843
01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:28,160
Windows 8 upgrade for only 15 bucks. Yes. And you just buy it online. Um, is

844
01:01:26,480 --> 01:01:31,920
that a shiny monitor? Yes, the one I have here is shiny. My ARM is in pain

845
01:01:30,480 --> 01:01:37,599
and when I touch my monitor sitting next to me, it's like lifting. Okay, good.

846
01:01:35,520 --> 01:01:42,000
Uh, touchpad or a trackpad would be a good idea for Windows 8. Absolutely. And

847
01:01:39,920 --> 01:01:46,079
and then this is another part of like it's See, okay, one more thing about

848
01:01:44,720 --> 01:01:51,520
touch. One more thing about touch is people treat touch and keyboard mouse as

849
01:01:49,280 --> 01:01:55,440
if they're these diametrically opposed things, but they're not. It's turning

850
01:01:53,760 --> 01:01:59,119
into this interface spectrum where you've got your traditional keyboard and

851
01:01:57,440 --> 01:02:06,079
mouse and then you've got things like touchpads and tablets, not not like not

852
01:02:03,119 --> 01:02:10,160
these tablets, but you've got like um Wacom tablets, so like art input

853
01:02:08,000 --> 01:02:13,119
devices. And then on the other side, you've got like this these pure

854
01:02:11,520 --> 01:02:15,839
touchscreen interfaces where everything is done with a virtual keyboard and

855
01:02:14,720 --> 01:02:21,520
everything is navigated through touching. But there's no reason why we

856
01:02:18,480 --> 01:02:23,200
can't do all of these things.

857
01:02:21,520 --> 01:02:27,119
Okay. Uh I want to build a desktop server with

858
01:02:25,359 --> 01:02:31,440
at least six SATA 3 hard drives and RAID. Yeah, buy a RAID card. Uh if

859
01:02:29,040 --> 01:02:35,440
you're running six drives and they're all matching, get a real RAID card. Um I

860
01:02:33,839 --> 01:02:40,079
saw Logan rant about Windows 8 a while ago. I still don't think it's optimized for mice and more importantly

861
01:02:37,760 --> 01:02:44,559
multitasking. How do you optimize an OS for multitasking? I mean, they're pretty

862
01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:48,480
multitasking friendly these days. I would argue that Windows uh Windows

863
01:02:46,799 --> 01:02:51,680
Vista and Windows 7 aren't really very well optimized for multitasking to be

864
01:02:50,079 --> 01:02:56,799
perfectly honest. I mean, come on. Are you guys serious? This Oh, wait. No,

865
01:02:54,319 --> 01:03:00,240
it's it's not screen sharing. Do I not Oh, I don't have Sorry, guys. I don't

866
01:02:58,480 --> 01:03:03,760
have glass enabled right now, but that stupid that stupid flip thing that they

867
01:03:02,480 --> 01:03:07,280
introduced with Vista. I mean, come on. That's not multitasking. When you

868
01:03:05,599 --> 01:03:12,319
compare that to something like Expose on OS 10, it's ridiculous. Um, I'm only 16,

869
01:03:10,880 --> 01:03:15,680
so it's pretty weird for me to wi witness a major change in the PC

870
01:03:14,000 --> 01:03:19,440
experience. The mouse and keyboard is sort of old. Oh, this is a topic I

871
01:03:17,440 --> 01:03:27,680
wanted to talk about. The change in the PC interface and usage experience.

872
01:03:24,000 --> 01:03:29,280
People think that Okay, here. This is

873
01:03:27,680 --> 01:03:33,039
going to turn into like a Kids Today rant because

874
01:03:31,839 --> 01:03:41,440
let me just make sure I got the right thing going on here. Kids today think that the start menu is

875
01:03:37,520 --> 01:03:44,960
the be all and end all. Okay, the start

876
01:03:41,440 --> 01:03:48,000
menu sucks. The start menu is slow. Why

877
01:03:44,960 --> 01:03:50,960
do you think Microsoft added the jump

878
01:03:48,000 --> 01:03:54,880
bar or jump lists down here so that you can put a ton of stuff down here that

879
01:03:52,880 --> 01:03:58,880
you'll have easy access to? Because the start menu is stupid. This is why the

880
01:03:56,960 --> 01:04:05,440
start menu is stupid. And this is coming from someone who went through the

881
01:04:00,720 --> 01:04:07,440
Windows 3.1 to Windows 95 change. Start.

882
01:04:05,440 --> 01:04:10,480
Okay. So, this has out of all of the things I might want to do with my

883
01:04:08,559 --> 01:04:18,319
computer, this has like eight of them. Thanks for that. Um, all programs I have

884
01:04:14,720 --> 01:04:20,160
to scroll. Are you serious? Older

885
01:04:18,319 --> 01:04:24,640
implementations were better than this where they had just a bigger one if

886
01:04:22,319 --> 01:04:29,200
there was more stuff. Are Are you kidding me? I have to scroll if I want

887
01:04:26,880 --> 01:04:33,359
to find Winar. Yeah, I can search for stuff, but you know what? I could search

888
01:04:31,599 --> 01:04:39,760
for stuff 10 years ago, too. So, it's not like that's the be all and end all.

889
01:04:34,960 --> 01:04:41,039
It's just controlr or not controlrlf or

890
01:04:39,760 --> 01:04:46,400
whatever it is. See, it doesn't even work anymore. But, okay. So, I have to

891
01:04:43,119 --> 01:04:47,920
scroll then. I mean, heaven forbid that

892
01:04:46,400 --> 01:04:52,880
I actually go to something like accessories and then I want to reach

893
01:04:50,240 --> 01:04:55,520
system tools and then I want to find something in there and then that's not

894
01:04:54,079 --> 01:04:58,720
the right thing and I want to go back and it's like how does this even work?

895
01:04:57,440 --> 01:05:03,680
This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. I don't like the start menu.

896
01:05:01,760 --> 01:05:09,520
I thought the start menu was stupid. Windows 3.1 had it right. All you had

897
01:05:06,559 --> 01:05:13,359
was you had your Okay, so picture like this whole thing that you're seeing now

898
01:05:10,880 --> 01:05:17,359
is your Windows desktop. So you had your applications box here and then under it

899
01:05:15,760 --> 01:05:20,480
you had your games and you could scroll the wheel on either side there and then

900
01:05:18,880 --> 01:05:24,480
next to it you had your screen savers because back then screen savers were the

901
01:05:22,079 --> 01:05:27,760
end thing and then you up here you have like your um I don't know you couldn't

902
01:05:26,559 --> 01:05:34,359
do a whole lot with computers in those days but the point is you had everything

903
01:05:29,760 --> 01:05:34,359
segmented almost like

904
01:05:39,359 --> 01:05:42,839
almost like

905
01:05:43,200 --> 01:05:48,559
this where everything was sorted by the

906
01:05:47,119 --> 01:05:52,799
utility of it and you could rearrange things as you see fit and then you could

907
01:05:50,720 --> 01:05:56,799
whoopsy daisies and then you could move things around however you wanted and

908
01:05:54,799 --> 01:06:00,240
arrange them and have some of them be bigger than others. You could take you

909
01:05:58,480 --> 01:06:02,960
could actually take all of those uh all of those segmented Windows and you could

910
01:06:01,680 --> 01:06:07,359
resize them. You could make your game ones games one you know this big and

911
01:06:05,680 --> 01:06:11,119
then you could have your like you know your mom's music still well okay music

912
01:06:09,680 --> 01:06:15,200
wasn't multimedia wasn't really around yet but you whatever your screen savers

913
01:06:13,359 --> 01:06:22,400
could be this big you know sort of in a small corner here and you could rearrange it however you wanted so met

914
01:06:19,280 --> 01:06:25,200
modern UI to me almost feels like an

915
01:06:22,400 --> 01:06:29,200
extension of that where now instead of being limited to this static space that

916
01:06:27,520 --> 01:06:34,960
I have on my desktop which back then resolutions were very low now I can

917
01:06:32,559 --> 01:06:38,799
easily and smoothly scroll between all the different stuff that I have and how

918
01:06:36,559 --> 01:06:43,200
I have it compartmentalized. I can scroll right out and I can zoom in on

919
01:06:40,640 --> 01:06:48,400
the part that's important to me. This to me is a faster way to access

920
01:06:45,359 --> 01:06:51,280
things than start menu. Especially the

921
01:06:48,400 --> 01:06:54,559
pre Windows Vista Windows 7, I don't remember when they changed it, but the

922
01:06:52,559 --> 01:06:59,599
one when you used to have to mouse over and then wait for the next thing to pop

923
01:06:56,640 --> 01:07:03,520
out. I I mean to me start menu was such a step backwards. And you guys can agree

924
01:07:01,599 --> 01:07:10,119
or disagree. And that's sort of what half the fun of this is, is not

925
01:07:05,119 --> 01:07:10,119
everyone's going to agree with me. But

926
01:07:10,480 --> 01:07:17,520
how many things do you guys actually use on your computer anymore? I would argue

927
01:07:15,039 --> 01:07:23,280
too many for Sorry, I'm going to put that away. I would argue too many for

928
01:07:19,520 --> 01:07:26,480
this to be it. And I would argue maybe

929
01:07:23,280 --> 01:07:28,240
too many for the bottom ones here to be

930
01:07:26,480 --> 01:07:32,960
enough, but not so much that you have to have a

931
01:07:30,960 --> 01:07:38,559
start menu. I mean, try and try try and figure it out, guys. When you more

932
01:07:35,200 --> 01:07:40,960
clicks is bad. This is UI 101. The more

933
01:07:38,559 --> 01:07:46,480
clicks you have, the way worse the way worse it is. So,

934
01:07:44,720 --> 01:07:50,640
modern UI, and I'm going to bring back up my XSplit here so I can see what I'm

935
01:07:48,240 --> 01:07:57,920
talking about. Modern UI will allow you to have far more available at your

936
01:07:54,319 --> 01:07:59,760
fingertips than either jump lists or

937
01:07:57,920 --> 01:08:05,920
start menu in its current implementation. And I am I am so not I'm

938
01:08:03,599 --> 01:08:11,760
so not excited to go back to start menu because I personally have probably about

939
01:08:08,880 --> 01:08:16,880
25 to 30 things. Most of my games are in Steam now. I mean, it's not like I open

940
01:08:13,839 --> 01:08:18,960
individual games anymore. Um, so I only

941
01:08:16,880 --> 01:08:22,799
have like low double digits things I actually do on my computer. So how much

942
01:08:20,960 --> 01:08:26,159
space would I actually need on a modern UI thing here in order to have

943
01:08:24,640 --> 01:08:30,560
everything I need to do right at the tip of my fingers? Well, I'd need one block

944
01:08:28,560 --> 01:08:34,560
like this, another block like this, and another block like this. So what's

945
01:08:31,759 --> 01:08:37,600
faster? Clicking the start menu and then Whoops. Sorry. You know what? The great

946
01:08:36,159 --> 01:08:41,759
thing about Windows is you can actually still use it this way if you want. So

947
01:08:40,000 --> 01:08:46,799
what's faster? clicking a start menu and then clicking here and then clicking

948
01:08:43,359 --> 01:08:48,319
here or going like this and then tapping

949
01:08:46,799 --> 01:08:54,480
something whether it's with a mouse or whether it's with your hands.

950
01:08:51,279 --> 01:08:56,159
So that is my take on it. And for those

951
01:08:54,480 --> 01:09:01,359
of you who are saying the search is the only thing I use in the start menu, you

952
01:08:58,239 --> 01:09:04,080
are exactly you are exactly the reason

953
01:09:01,359 --> 01:09:09,600
why the start menu is going away because you can still search. It doesn't matter

954
01:09:06,719 --> 01:09:15,679
where you are in the modern UI. You can go like this. Um,

955
01:09:13,120 --> 01:09:19,199
control panel. So, the way the search works is

956
01:09:17,600 --> 01:09:24,719
outstanding. Forget start menu.

957
01:09:22,400 --> 01:09:28,960
Um, as for being compact and organized for start menu, that's a comment on

958
01:09:26,239 --> 01:09:34,880
Twitch. Um, yeah, but you can also make Metro organized. You can also organize

959
01:09:31,839 --> 01:09:36,400
things uh with your with your I forget.

960
01:09:34,880 --> 01:09:40,000
Do they call them whatever? Pinning things to the taskbar. You can have a

961
01:09:38,000 --> 01:09:44,799
lot of frequently used apps there. You can still add desktop shortcuts. So,

962
01:09:42,239 --> 01:09:49,359
there's still a lot of ways that things can be used the same way you're used to.

963
01:09:47,120 --> 01:09:53,440
I think start menu um Samsung implemented a start menu on their

964
01:09:50,880 --> 01:09:57,120
Windows 8 PCs and I think it just feels clunky and out of place in the Windows 8

965
01:09:55,360 --> 01:10:02,719
environment. I'm I'm not sold on Start Menu.

966
01:09:59,120 --> 01:10:05,920
Okay, so

967
01:10:02,719 --> 01:10:07,840
let's keep going. Looks like a lot of

968
01:10:05,920 --> 01:10:12,480
people disagree with me, but I mean, you know what? Five years, 10 years from

969
01:10:09,760 --> 01:10:15,199
now, you'll be using a you'll be using a touch friendly interface, whether you

970
01:10:13,679 --> 01:10:18,800
guys like it or not. Do you know how many people said they'd never use the

971
01:10:16,719 --> 01:10:22,080
start menu in Windows 95 because it was so crap?

972
01:10:20,640 --> 01:10:27,280
Guess how many people use a start menu now? Bam. So, there you go. Uh, let's

973
01:10:25,840 --> 01:10:32,640
take a couple more Twitter questions and then I'm going to talk about Surface

974
01:10:28,960 --> 01:10:34,640
because I'm super excited about Surface.

975
01:10:32,640 --> 01:10:40,480
Ah, and I have to hit the scroll bar. Are you kidding me? Exactly. Exactly.

976
01:10:38,320 --> 01:10:43,840
My friend wants to buy two GTX 670s and he's barely even a casual gamer. Could

977
01:10:42,640 --> 01:10:51,520
you briefly explain to him that it's stupid? I'd love to explain to him that it's stupid, but I have a GTX 590 and

978
01:10:47,440 --> 01:10:52,719
I'm Yeah, a casual gamer. Um, Logan says

979
01:10:51,520 --> 01:10:57,520
we should wait until at least Service Pack 1 because it has way too many issues. What do you think? I think

980
01:10:55,920 --> 01:11:01,280
waiting for Service Pack 1 on any Windows OS has never been a bad idea.

981
01:10:59,440 --> 01:11:05,040
Windows XP sucked at launch. Windows Vista. Nobody liked at launch. I liked

982
01:11:02,800 --> 01:11:09,760
it, but uh Windows 7 actually was great at launch. Um

983
01:11:07,760 --> 01:11:13,600
but it's rarely rarely a bad idea. Lionus, do you like Linux? Never used

984
01:11:11,360 --> 01:11:17,840
it. Um when I'm not using touch Well, okay, I've used it, but I've never used

985
01:11:15,120 --> 01:11:20,400
it like for my own personal computer. Uh when I'm not using touchscreen, I have

986
01:11:19,120 --> 01:11:24,159
to scroll to the side with my mouse. It's a pain. I don't like Windows 8 for

987
01:11:22,640 --> 01:11:28,080
non-touchcreen desktop computer. Once you memorize the shortcut keys in Windows 8, it will be the best

988
01:11:26,239 --> 01:11:31,760
experience ever. That's another thing is people need to we're talking about a new

989
01:11:30,080 --> 01:11:34,960
generation of computer users here. We're not talking about old people who

990
01:11:33,600 --> 01:11:40,080
actually this is this is a great this is a great anecdote. Uh a friend of mine at

991
01:11:36,960 --> 01:11:42,480
work um was like a like a nerd back when

992
01:11:40,080 --> 01:11:46,560
being a nerd was like pretty pretty rare. Uh back when the mouse was

993
01:11:44,320 --> 01:11:52,159
invented he was like an Uber geek and figuring out like how to build networks

994
01:11:48,480 --> 01:11:53,760
at uh at the local university. So, buddy

995
01:11:52,159 --> 01:11:59,440
of mine was talking about how he put together, get this, he put together at

996
01:11:55,360 --> 01:12:02,159
UBC, a class where they taught the the

997
01:11:59,440 --> 01:12:06,400
professors, and this was like a $149 course or something, and it was packed.

998
01:12:04,480 --> 01:12:11,040
He put together a curriculum to teach people how to use a mouse. And he was

999
01:12:08,480 --> 01:12:15,520
like, "You wouldn't believe the stuff I saw. People were taking the mouse and

1000
01:12:13,840 --> 01:12:19,120
they'd get to the edge edge of the mouse pad and they'd go like this down the

1001
01:12:17,120 --> 01:12:22,480
table or they'd bring it they'd bring it off to the edge and they'd go like this

1002
01:12:20,480 --> 01:12:27,800
over it or they'd like they'd go over the edge and they wouldn't know what to

1003
01:12:23,600 --> 01:12:27,800
do or they'd be holding it like this.

1004
01:12:28,239 --> 01:12:35,600
That's yesterday. That's not that long ago. Whereas now we take a mouse for

1005
01:12:32,960 --> 01:12:40,320
granted. We take control ctrl +v for granted. If you don't know how to copy

1006
01:12:37,280 --> 01:12:42,000
paste without like some, you know, it

1007
01:12:40,320 --> 01:12:47,760
used to be people copy and paste it by going up to edit and going down to copy.

1008
01:12:45,120 --> 01:12:51,520
That's slow. That's stupid. The modern computer user has no patience and

1009
01:12:49,600 --> 01:12:54,880
they've grown up with this stuff. They are going to figure out the shortcuts

1010
01:12:53,120 --> 01:12:58,960
that Microsoft has built in. They're going to take advantage of this OS and

1011
01:12:56,800 --> 01:13:03,679
it's going to be a significantly better experience. Just for you guys wait, you

1012
01:13:00,800 --> 01:13:07,360
guys wait and see. I will be right. Uh, Twitter, I really like the start menu

1013
01:13:05,920 --> 01:13:13,360
and the something something. Tips on making energy efficient rig. Um, buy

1014
01:13:09,600 --> 01:13:15,600
energy efficient parts. Underclock them.

1015
01:13:13,360 --> 01:13:20,480
Um, nope. I don't think the mouse and keyboard is going anywhere. Nowhere at

1016
01:13:18,560 --> 01:13:24,880
all. Especially on the desktop. And anyone who thinks the desktop is dead is

1017
01:13:22,239 --> 01:13:30,080
a because the desktop is not dead. The desktop will always, well, not

1018
01:13:27,440 --> 01:13:34,560
always, but will for the foreseeable future, potentially my lifetime, be a

1019
01:13:32,400 --> 01:13:39,280
better platform than anything else for any kind of real computer use, whether

1020
01:13:36,880 --> 01:13:43,760
it's spreadsheets or whether it's video editing or whether it's you you will

1021
01:13:41,360 --> 01:13:46,960
always need the computing power of a desktop. And you'll always need the form

1022
01:13:45,520 --> 01:13:51,360
factor of a desktop. No one's going to use a computer for eight hours a day

1023
01:13:49,040 --> 01:13:55,440
like this. No one's going to do that because that's stupid. This is stupid. I

1024
01:13:54,320 --> 01:14:00,159
mean, someone will do it because they have to because they're a road warrior or whatever else, but in an office

1025
01:13:58,560 --> 01:14:03,920
environment, you're going to have desktops. And anyone who says, "Oh,

1026
01:14:02,000 --> 01:14:09,760
well, look, sales of desktops are declining, so the desktop is dead."

1027
01:14:07,840 --> 01:14:14,159
You're wrong. The reason sales of desktops are declining are very simple.

1028
01:14:12,159 --> 01:14:18,000
It's because the desktop you built 5 years ago is still fast enough for the

1029
01:14:15,760 --> 01:14:20,960
internet. Five years before that, it wasn't the case. You couldn't play back

1030
01:14:19,280 --> 01:14:24,400
HD video on that computer. You couldn't run the internet on that computer. or

1031
01:14:22,960 --> 01:14:27,920
well you could but it would suck. It would be terrible experience. So the

1032
01:14:26,159 --> 01:14:30,880
reason is that people's upgrade cycles are getting longer just like with a

1033
01:14:29,280 --> 01:14:34,880
fridge or a dishwasher or any other appliance like that. That is why the

1034
01:14:33,360 --> 01:14:40,159
desktop sales are slowing down. Not because the desktop is dead as a platform.

1035
01:14:38,560 --> 01:14:43,199
All right, back to Twitter for a little bit. I'm not going to have much time for

1036
01:14:41,600 --> 01:14:47,520
Surface. You guys have like got me going here tonight

1037
01:14:45,040 --> 01:14:51,760
ranting about stuff because you guys are killing me here. Should my next hard

1038
01:14:49,520 --> 01:14:54,960
drive be SSD or hard drive? Money isn't a problem. However, more space is

1039
01:14:53,679 --> 01:14:59,679
better. I don't know what you mean by hard drive array. Um, you should have an

1040
01:14:57,679 --> 01:15:04,159
SSD for boot and then you should store everything else on hard drives. My

1041
01:15:02,159 --> 01:15:09,760
recommendations for FPS games, get a G9X. Um, if you have a claw grip, I

1042
01:15:06,400 --> 01:15:11,120
really like G9 series. Um, how many Why

1043
01:15:09,760 --> 01:15:17,199
are people keep asking me if I lift tonight? I already said I don't lift and then I um Yeah, I said like eight times

1044
01:15:15,840 --> 01:15:22,960
I don't lift. Mind you, that might have been before I invited the YouTube people. Nice couch you got there. I got

1045
01:15:20,480 --> 01:15:28,640
it from a local furniture store. You know, nothing fancy. Lionus, do you know

1046
01:15:25,600 --> 01:15:34,640
what A+ certified is? Nick, you win the

1047
01:15:28,640 --> 01:15:36,320
award. You win this piece of carpet lint

1048
01:15:34,640 --> 01:15:40,400
for asking what must be the most phenomenally obvious question that I've

1049
01:15:38,480 --> 01:15:44,719
ever had on one of my live streams. Of course, I know what A+ is. Uh I am not

1050
01:15:42,640 --> 01:15:48,880
A+ certified, however. I never did take the course.

1051
01:15:47,040 --> 01:15:52,159
Um, I'm thinking about getting just one touch monitor for touch in the modern

1052
01:15:50,239 --> 01:15:56,320
UI, having a second one as a main one. What do you think, Jordan? I'm not sold.

1053
01:15:54,480 --> 01:16:00,960
I I don't think that the way that they've implemented Windows 8 now is

1054
01:15:58,880 --> 01:16:04,159
going to be conducive to having like one monitor for using with your keyboard and

1055
01:16:02,480 --> 01:16:07,600
mouse and one for touch. Um, although it's something I'd love to see them

1056
01:16:05,760 --> 01:16:12,880
think about more with the next iteration of the OS.

1057
01:16:10,560 --> 01:16:17,280
Um, okay. You know what? Let's uh let's

1058
01:16:15,840 --> 01:16:22,320
let's cut it for now. I'm going to get through Surface as fast as I can and

1059
01:16:19,679 --> 01:16:27,840
then I want to do a little bit more Q&A. So, Surface, why do I like this? Why do

1060
01:16:25,280 --> 01:16:34,400
I think that this is amazing? Because it is amazing. Uh where's my iPad? Here we

1061
01:16:31,120 --> 01:16:37,360
go. All right. Number one, thickness.

1062
01:16:34,400 --> 01:16:42,400
Once you put here, I'm going to I'm just going to operate the camera myself here.

1063
01:16:39,280 --> 01:16:44,400
Once you put a cover on an iPad 2, and

1064
01:16:42,400 --> 01:16:49,120
let's face it, you're putting a cover on your iPad. Um, because if you're not,

1065
01:16:47,360 --> 01:16:54,320
then you clearly don't take very good care of your very expensive electronics.

1066
01:16:51,600 --> 01:16:58,400
Once you put a cover on it, this is the difference in thickness. My iPad 2 is

1067
01:16:57,199 --> 01:17:02,239
actually slightly thicker than my Surface. So, I could even get a nice

1068
01:17:00,320 --> 01:17:06,159
slim cover on the back and they'd be very, very similar. So, there's that.

1069
01:17:04,560 --> 01:17:12,400
Okay. here.

1070
01:17:07,920 --> 01:17:14,640
When I am watching a video on my iPad,

1071
01:17:12,400 --> 01:17:17,600
okay, so I'm watching some video. I don't know what video this is. My wife

1072
01:17:15,920 --> 01:17:21,760
was using it. I'm watching some video and I go, "Oh, my brightness isn't very

1073
01:17:19,600 --> 01:17:28,719
good." How do I change that? I go like this. I shut down my video. I go to

1074
01:17:25,679 --> 01:17:30,560
settings. Then I go to brightness and

1075
01:17:28,719 --> 01:17:33,840
wallpaper. Remember guys, clicks are bad. Did I say it was too low or too

1076
01:17:32,560 --> 01:17:38,080
high? It doesn't matter. The point is I'm adjusting it. Then I'm going out

1077
01:17:36,000 --> 01:17:43,440
here. I'm going back to my video. How many clicks was that? That's ridiculous.

1078
01:17:40,640 --> 01:17:47,679
Microsoft has thought about this. They've gone, "What do people want out

1079
01:17:45,840 --> 01:17:53,880
of a mobile experience? What can we bring to the table?" If I was watching a

1080
01:17:49,920 --> 01:17:53,880
video on the Surface,

1081
01:17:54,480 --> 01:18:01,840
I hope the battery didn't die. I haven't actually charged it yet. I just got it

1082
01:17:57,760 --> 01:18:03,280
today. Uh oh. I didn't even I didn't

1083
01:18:01,840 --> 01:18:06,400
even check the battery charge level. This is going to be a problem.

1084
01:18:07,440 --> 01:18:13,040
Uh oh. Lionus is in trouble on his live

1085
01:18:10,719 --> 01:18:20,360
stream now. Hold on. Maybe I'm just doing it wrong.

1086
01:18:16,400 --> 01:18:20,360
I hope I'm doing it wrong.

1087
01:18:21,440 --> 01:18:27,960
How am I going to do my surface segment if my surface is not charged?

1088
01:18:31,120 --> 01:18:36,400
Oh, my surface isn't charged. Well, oh, wait. Hold on. It's turning on now. I

1089
01:18:35,120 --> 01:18:41,040
wonder where's the uh where's the charger for it so I could plug it in. So, it's not going to run out of

1090
01:18:38,880 --> 01:18:45,280
battery. Yeah, it turned on for a sec there and then it uh and then it petered

1091
01:18:43,360 --> 01:18:48,880
out on me. So, it looks like the Okay, fine. I'll simulate this for you. So,

1092
01:18:46,800 --> 01:18:52,000
here's how you Okay, so I'm going to lose the Surface thing. If you guys want

1093
01:18:50,480 --> 01:18:56,480
to hear my thoughts on Surface, then I guess what you'll have to do is watch my unboxing, which will come up later. Um,

1094
01:18:55,120 --> 01:19:00,239
so what you do on the surface is you'd have your video going, you swipe in from

1095
01:18:58,159 --> 01:19:04,719
the side, you touch the volume or the brightness rocker, either one, and you

1096
01:19:02,000 --> 01:19:09,920
just go like this or just go like this. It is so fast and so easy and so

1097
01:19:07,280 --> 01:19:13,360
intuitive that I am just absolutely blown away by how awesome it is. And

1098
01:19:11,600 --> 01:19:19,280
apparently the battery is okay. I'm just going to turn the camera for a second while I enter my password. Sorry guys.

1099
01:19:17,600 --> 01:19:23,000
As much as I want to share all of my passwords with y'all.

1100
01:19:25,679 --> 01:19:28,679
Okay.

1101
01:19:29,440 --> 01:19:35,440
All right. So, we're going to go to the, you know, the Xbox video store, whatever

1102
01:19:34,239 --> 01:19:40,239
else. I don't need I don't know if this is the right one. Actually,

1103
01:19:38,640 --> 01:19:44,080
cameraman was playing around with it. Oh, right. We can't connect. Okay. So,

1104
01:19:41,760 --> 01:19:48,320
you swipe in, you go settings. I need to connect to a wireless network. It's my

1105
01:19:46,080 --> 01:19:54,480
wireless network. And same thing, as much as I'd love to share my

1106
01:19:51,360 --> 01:19:57,040
my wireless network with you guys.

1107
01:19:54,480 --> 01:20:02,960
Who knows? Maybe some of you are my neighbors. You want to steal my Wi-Fi.

1108
01:20:00,560 --> 01:20:08,960
Uh yes, turn on sharing and connect and all that good stuff. Connected.

1109
01:20:05,600 --> 01:20:11,440
Okay, so let's go back. So,

1110
01:20:08,960 --> 01:20:16,719
uh, let's try to, uh, close this down and then we'll open

1111
01:20:13,199 --> 01:20:19,280
up Xbox Video again.

1112
01:20:16,719 --> 01:20:22,800
So, movie store, television store. Let's just click on something and see what

1113
01:20:20,480 --> 01:20:26,239
happens. Okay. I hope the uh I hope the wireless is

1114
01:20:24,480 --> 01:20:32,400
working now. Yeah, it looks like it's connected. Okay, so here we go. So, I

1115
01:20:28,960 --> 01:20:33,920
want to see um some trailer for

1116
01:20:32,400 --> 01:20:38,080
something. Actually, this probably this probably won't have TV stuff. probably

1117
01:20:35,600 --> 01:20:43,440
won't have a uh a trailer. So, television store. Here we go. Madagascar

1118
01:20:40,480 --> 01:20:50,400
3. So, I want to play a trailer. This is how I do it on Windows RT. So, I

1119
01:20:48,080 --> 01:20:55,920
go to my full screen. I go, "Oh, my brightness isn't right. Settings. Screen

1120
01:20:54,400 --> 01:21:00,000
down. Screen up. Play around with it. I'm

1121
01:20:58,880 --> 01:21:05,679
done." That that my friends is the magic of

1122
01:21:03,520 --> 01:21:12,800
Windows 8 because they have actually thought about this. Not only that, but

1123
01:21:08,320 --> 01:21:15,520
Windows RT is a practical

1124
01:21:12,800 --> 01:21:21,760
office device. Now, I've seen a lot of mixed impressions of the of the pressure

1125
01:21:18,560 --> 01:21:24,480
sensitive touch cover. Um I also have uh

1126
01:21:21,760 --> 01:21:27,920
the other one. I grabbed the uh the type cover as well just so that I could try

1127
01:21:26,480 --> 01:21:32,560
them both out and see what I thought of them. So, the touch cover, is it

1128
01:21:30,000 --> 01:21:39,120
perfect? No. Would I type, you know, would I write Moby Dick on it? No.

1129
01:21:35,360 --> 01:21:43,280
However, is it usable? The answer is

1130
01:21:39,120 --> 01:21:46,159
yes. And I can actually type not bad on

1131
01:21:43,280 --> 01:21:57,840
it. Oh, see, I missed one. Not badly on it. Okay. Bad demo considering I've

1132
01:21:51,760 --> 01:22:02,560
logged about five minutes on it. So

1133
01:21:57,840 --> 01:22:05,840
on it so far. So that is how terrible

1134
01:22:02,560 --> 01:22:07,840
this super thin touch cover is. And the

1135
01:22:05,840 --> 01:22:11,120
type cover is again significantly better. Can you get used to it?

1136
01:22:09,040 --> 01:22:15,679
Absolutely. So is this thing useful as an entertainment platform? Yes. Does it

1137
01:22:13,679 --> 01:22:19,760
allow you to quickly and easily change between the things that you're doing?

1138
01:22:17,360 --> 01:22:24,400
Yes. Is it useful as a productivity device? Absolutely. This is smaller than

1139
01:22:22,239 --> 01:22:27,120
any laptop you're going to encounter. It is more versatile than any laptop you're

1140
01:22:26,080 --> 01:22:33,679
going to encounter. It has better battery life than any laptop you're going to encounter, and it has all of

1141
01:22:31,280 --> 01:22:37,199
the things that are nice about a tablet as well.

1142
01:22:35,760 --> 01:22:40,960
Are the apps there yet? The answer is no. Um, the answer is a definite no, and

1143
01:22:39,600 --> 01:22:48,000
you probably didn't need me to tell you that. But will the apps get there? Um,

1144
01:22:44,639 --> 01:22:49,920
in my mind, yes, they will. However, if

1145
01:22:48,000 --> 01:22:53,920
I was going to be throwing my hard dollars at it or not throwing my

1146
01:22:51,760 --> 01:23:00,520
hard-earned dollars at it, I would probably lean towards waiting for a

1147
01:22:55,600 --> 01:23:00,520
Surface Pro. Um,

1148
01:23:00,639 --> 01:23:07,840
but that doesn't mean that I don't believe in this and that I wouldn't

1149
01:23:05,040 --> 01:23:11,040
necessarily get this. So, and yes, Android can do whatever it wants, but

1150
01:23:09,440 --> 01:23:15,360
I'm really not that sold on Android. Even with jelly bean, even with project

1151
01:23:12,960 --> 01:23:19,280
butter, to me, again, I talked about snappiness earlier on in the live chat

1152
01:23:17,679 --> 01:23:24,320
where I said snappiness to me is everything. This is a uniformly snappy

1153
01:23:22,960 --> 01:23:28,159
experience. It doesn't matter what you do. Whoops. Okay. Well, matters somewhat

1154
01:23:26,960 --> 01:23:32,320
what you do. You have to at least hold it correctly. Um, you want to change

1155
01:23:30,320 --> 01:23:36,639
your orientation. It feels good. It animates well. It

1156
01:23:34,880 --> 01:23:39,679
feels like a device that you just spent a bunch of money on as opposed to

1157
01:23:38,400 --> 01:23:44,800
something where you go like this and it's like E E

1158
01:23:42,880 --> 01:23:49,360
um okay. So there's that. Multitasking on

1159
01:23:47,120 --> 01:23:54,880
it is awesome because you just go like this. You can pick whatever you want to

1160
01:23:50,800 --> 01:23:56,480
do. You can also bring things in.

1161
01:23:54,880 --> 01:24:00,159
Actually, you can't do it with desktop. So hold on. Um I don't have anything

1162
01:23:58,719 --> 01:24:04,400
open on it right now, which is sort of the problem we're having right now. So there's the store. Just going to wait

1163
01:24:03,199 --> 01:24:08,159
for that to open. Then I'm going to show you something else.

1164
01:24:06,560 --> 01:24:13,280
Um okay, let's go back. open IE and the

1165
01:24:11,520 --> 01:24:16,159
modern UI. I've seen a lot of complaints about application launch times and

1166
01:24:14,800 --> 01:24:20,480
honestly I'm not really I'm not really feeling it here here to the other uh

1167
01:24:18,639 --> 01:24:24,560
reviewers out there. So this is another cool thing if I'm like okay I want to

1168
01:24:22,159 --> 01:24:28,800
have Internet Explorer open here reset connection and then I want to have uh

1169
01:24:27,120 --> 01:24:32,960
something else going on. Maybe I'm browsing the store like this on the left

1170
01:24:31,199 --> 01:24:36,960
or whether it's something like Skype or something like an instant messenger

1171
01:24:34,480 --> 01:24:43,840
client. How many of you guys have been using something like an iPad and kind of

1172
01:24:40,400 --> 01:24:45,360
gone, "Oh, why do people keep messaging

1173
01:24:43,840 --> 01:24:51,760
me on Facebook or whatever else?" Because it is such a bear to close down

1174
01:24:49,520 --> 01:24:56,800
whatever you're doing, go to your messaging app,

1175
01:24:54,080 --> 01:25:02,080
type your response, go out of what that is, go back to what

1176
01:24:59,199 --> 01:25:06,800
you were doing. It's stupid. Whereas now you can have that open in the side all

1177
01:25:04,719 --> 01:25:10,480
you want. You can have something else going on and you can actually change

1178
01:25:08,159 --> 01:25:14,159
this split so that it goes this way as well. So you could browse the store and

1179
01:25:12,480 --> 01:25:19,120
then you could have like I don't know you could be monitoring the NCIX forums

1180
01:25:16,719 --> 01:25:22,880
at the same time. And the oh the UI is so smooth here. I'm

1181
01:25:21,440 --> 01:25:25,840
going to bring this closer so you guys can actually see what I'm talking about.

1182
01:25:24,639 --> 01:25:31,040
Hold on. Let me just switch the camera back to manual mode. Uh or auto mode

1183
01:25:28,800 --> 01:25:35,520
rather. There we go. auto mode. I hope you guys can see this. There we go. It's

1184
01:25:33,760 --> 01:25:38,239
just very smooth even when you're navigating like multiple things at a

1185
01:25:37,120 --> 01:25:42,239
time. And it's not the power of the Tegra 3 processor. Let's let's be very

1186
01:25:40,560 --> 01:25:45,679
clear about that because Tegra 3 is nothing special these days. It's just

1187
01:25:44,000 --> 01:25:50,800
the way that they've optimized the OS which means that much better even better

1188
01:25:48,400 --> 01:25:55,679
things are going to be coming in the future. And this is the first time we've

1189
01:25:53,280 --> 01:26:02,800
actually seen anything approaching true multitasking on a mobile platform. So,

1190
01:25:58,800 --> 01:26:05,360
is Windows 8 perfect? No. Is Windows RT

1191
01:26:02,800 --> 01:26:07,920
perfect? No. People are asking me to double tap the

1192
01:26:06,800 --> 01:26:11,920
home button. Why on earth are they asking me to do that? Yeah, who cares about that? You don't have to double tap

1193
01:26:10,400 --> 01:26:16,239
the home button. If you want this functionality, then you can just go like

1194
01:26:13,600 --> 01:26:19,199
this. That's faster to me. You can switch

1195
01:26:17,840 --> 01:26:24,880
between things like that. Or you can go like this and you can switch between all the things. This is not actually faster.

1196
01:26:22,480 --> 01:26:27,600
I don't like um I don't like buttons around the outside. If anything, I'd

1197
01:26:26,239 --> 01:26:32,280
prefer if they didn't have one at all. So, uh, okay.

1198
01:26:32,480 --> 01:26:39,400
No cat in the live chat sucks. Well, I can ask for a cat to come come visit us,

1199
01:26:39,679 --> 01:26:48,159
Rumble. Rumble, do you want to join us?

1200
01:26:44,400 --> 01:26:49,679
Rumble, where are you?

1201
01:26:48,159 --> 01:26:53,520
You going to come join us for the last little bit here?

1202
01:26:52,080 --> 01:26:58,560
All right, we only got a couple minutes left, so let's go back to some Twitter

1203
01:26:55,679 --> 01:27:05,120
questions and uh finish off the evening here.

1204
01:27:00,560 --> 01:27:07,040
Oh, double tap the iPad. Oh,

1205
01:27:05,120 --> 01:27:10,320
oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I know what you guys are talking about. No, no,

1206
01:27:08,320 --> 01:27:14,400
no. Double tap the iPad is a terrible multitasking experience. Oh, but yes,

1207
01:27:13,120 --> 01:27:20,159
you can change brightness in there. You're right. So, you have these options down here. Double tap doesn't even work

1208
01:27:18,159 --> 01:27:26,560
right half the time, though. Come on. especially once you have a wellused iOS

1209
01:27:22,800 --> 01:27:30,960
device. My phone properly detects a

1210
01:27:26,560 --> 01:27:34,000
double tap maybe maybe half the time. So

1211
01:27:30,960 --> 01:27:36,320
there you go. Okay. Yes, double tap can

1212
01:27:34,000 --> 01:27:39,760
be used for some of those as well. But for actual multitasking, like if you go

1213
01:27:38,159 --> 01:27:46,080
back to my other example, which was the one where you're running a Messenger app in the background, yes, you can double

1214
01:27:43,440 --> 01:27:49,199
tap and you can switch to that app. I would argue it's not actually that much

1215
01:27:47,679 --> 01:27:55,760
faster, especially if you're trying to do sort of anything else. And it's just

1216
01:27:52,639 --> 01:27:58,480
I'm you know what, as an iOS user who

1217
01:27:55,760 --> 01:28:03,199
actually likes iOS, I'm just not sold on iOS anymore. The Windows 8 experience

1218
01:28:00,639 --> 01:28:08,360
feels smoother. It does feel better. And guys, I bought this today.

1219
01:28:09,440 --> 01:28:15,760
Nobody sent me one of these. All of my Android tablets are samples. I would not

1220
01:28:13,840 --> 01:28:20,800
buy an Android tablet. based on the experience I've had with it so far. I

1221
01:28:17,920 --> 01:28:24,719
bought this and I bought this. I'm comparing two

1222
01:28:23,120 --> 01:28:31,120
things I bought. I am a fanboy of neither. I am just telling you guys

1223
01:28:28,000 --> 01:28:32,400
these are the experiences I'm having.

1224
01:28:31,120 --> 01:28:39,120
And apparently Rumble's not going to join us. But let's do some more. Let's do some more Twitter stuff. Okay, here

1225
01:28:36,080 --> 01:28:42,080
we go. Try multigenerational with four

1226
01:28:39,120 --> 01:28:45,679
fingers. Um, haven't played around with that yet. Like I said, I haven't spent

1227
01:28:44,000 --> 01:28:49,600
much time with Windows 8 or Windows RT yet, guys. You should use the TSN app on

1228
01:28:48,000 --> 01:28:53,520
Windows 8. I would, but I don't have any sports to uh read about because there's

1229
01:28:51,280 --> 01:28:57,360
no hockey. Best PC speakers in your opinion? Probably the Corsair SP2500's.

1230
01:28:56,080 --> 01:29:03,040
How do you do a print screen on the Surface? I have no idea. Uh control Ps.

1231
01:29:01,040 --> 01:29:07,360
Would imagine that. Uh snipping tool is there. So, there you go. Uh shouldn't be

1232
01:29:05,840 --> 01:29:10,800
rocket science. I mean, that's another thing that's nice is if you know how to

1233
01:29:08,880 --> 01:29:15,360
use a Windows device, you kind of already know how to uh you already kind

1234
01:29:12,560 --> 01:29:18,000
of know how to use Windows 8. So, or wait, did I say control P? It should be

1235
01:29:16,960 --> 01:29:24,000
No, there should be a print screen button. Um, no, I'd probably just use

1236
01:29:20,719 --> 01:29:27,840
snipping tool, I guess. Sniping

1237
01:29:24,000 --> 01:29:30,840
tool. And then I could just create a new

1238
01:29:27,840 --> 01:29:30,840
snip.

1239
01:29:31,199 --> 01:29:39,840
Oh, hold on. Oh. Oh, this won't be a very good demo if I can't figure out how

1240
01:29:35,120 --> 01:29:42,159
to do it. Sniping tool. Yeah. And new.

1241
01:29:39,840 --> 01:29:45,199
There we go. I can create my screenshot. Oh, you guys can't even see what I'm

1242
01:29:43,360 --> 01:29:50,560
doing here. There we go. See? Snipping tool. So, you just search for SNIP and

1243
01:29:47,360 --> 01:29:52,880
then you're good. Um,

1244
01:29:50,560 --> 01:29:56,239
okay. Loving the new set. Nice and casual. This is my living room, not a

1245
01:29:54,719 --> 01:29:59,440
set, just so you know. That's why it's nice and casual and I shouldn't be

1246
01:29:57,760 --> 01:30:04,639
working here. Um, anything wrong with the something

1247
01:30:01,840 --> 01:30:08,000
something? 2,000 RPM fans at 20 dB. Yeah, that's what's wrong with them.

1248
01:30:05,840 --> 01:30:12,159
There's no way that they're that quiet. Would I ever dye my hair blonde again? I

1249
01:30:09,600 --> 01:30:15,920
don't know. I've done it before. I use four fingers and move them up to

1250
01:30:13,760 --> 01:30:21,639
access multitasking on the iPad. That's right. I forgot about that. Um, eh.

1251
01:30:22,480 --> 01:30:28,560
What? 7.1 something. Are the things you unbox sponsored? Some of them. Some of

1252
01:30:25,840 --> 01:30:31,920
them not. Which 660 Ti card would you recommend in terms of performance, heat,

1253
01:30:29,760 --> 01:30:36,560
and sound? Um, I was a big proponent of the power edition, but uh the power

1254
01:30:34,639 --> 01:30:40,639
edition sort of went away, so I don't know what to tell you anymore. Can you

1255
01:30:38,639 --> 01:30:48,320
recommend a mouse like the G9X, but not from Logitech? No. The G9X is from

1256
01:30:43,520 --> 01:30:50,159
Logitech. Um, that's sort of how it is.

1257
01:30:48,320 --> 01:30:55,679
Um, when you have a blackout, how do you cope with it? I use my phone.

1258
01:30:53,679 --> 01:30:58,880
Uh, yes. I have a UPS for the main computers. Mine and my wife's in the

1259
01:30:57,199 --> 01:31:02,960
server. Have I been sent a Hazel CPU yet? Not

1260
01:31:00,960 --> 01:31:06,000
even close, guys. That platform is not even close.

1261
01:31:04,880 --> 01:31:11,760
I know you mentioned the touch experience on desktop. Have you heard about the Leap Motion? I have heard

1262
01:31:08,480 --> 01:31:13,440
about the Leap Motion. Not sold. Um,

1263
01:31:11,760 --> 01:31:17,280
I'll be sold when I actually have a chance to try it and it's amazing, but

1264
01:31:15,840 --> 01:31:21,679
otherwise I think there's a lot of potential for sort of accidental

1265
01:31:18,880 --> 01:31:25,679
misinterpretations. I think um if it's amazing then great. If there's no

1266
01:31:23,120 --> 01:31:28,920
latency, then great. But again, it's this is

1267
01:31:30,560 --> 01:31:36,560
only as good as the leg. So, I haven't tried it yet, so I don't want to say too

1268
01:31:34,239 --> 01:31:40,400
much. Best high performance case fans I want to upgrade. Get Noctuas. They don't

1269
01:31:38,719 --> 01:31:47,280
move a ton of air. I guess they move pretty good air when they're at full voltage, but they're really quiet. Do I

1270
01:31:43,679 --> 01:31:50,239
like rice? Yes, I do. And thank you. I

1271
01:31:47,280 --> 01:31:53,440
like this chair, too. I'm using an ASUS Zonar DX sound card. I'm thinking of

1272
01:31:51,760 --> 01:31:56,400
upgrading to an STX while I see a big improvement. Well, you won't see a big

1273
01:31:54,800 --> 01:32:00,400
improvement, that's for sure. You might hear an improvement. Um, once you go

1274
01:31:58,400 --> 01:32:03,040
from onboard to a sound card, the difference is night and day. No matter

1275
01:32:01,600 --> 01:32:07,360
what sort of speakers or headphones you're using, when you go from one sound card to another sound card, make sure

1276
01:32:05,920 --> 01:32:11,480
you have the make sure you have the audio equipment to deal with it.

1277
01:32:11,520 --> 01:32:19,040
Um, what's better, the Vengeance 1300 or the 5HV2? They're both kind of not

1278
01:32:16,960 --> 01:32:23,120
great. Um, 1300's more comfortable than 5HB, too, so I guess I'd go that route,

1279
01:32:20,880 --> 01:32:27,040
but get 7H if you can afford it? I think Windows 8 looks awesome on the Surface,

1280
01:32:24,960 --> 01:32:32,080
but will programs for video editing be okay, right? Something a lot of people

1281
01:32:29,440 --> 01:32:37,120
are not sure about with Surface. This is an ARM architecture. This CPU is not

1282
01:32:34,480 --> 01:32:42,639
even capable of running your existing x86 or x64 applications. Not even

1283
01:32:40,639 --> 01:32:46,159
capable, even remotely capable. They have to be completely recompiled. Some

1284
01:32:44,000 --> 01:32:50,080
of them completely rewritten. an a Windows RT device can only use

1285
01:32:48,719 --> 01:32:55,360
applications that are downloaded from the Microsoft Store. That's it. When we

1286
01:32:52,960 --> 01:32:59,920
see Windows uh Microsoft Surface Pro with an x86 processor inside, then we're

1287
01:32:58,159 --> 01:33:05,679
going to start talking about using desktop applications on it. This one,

1288
01:33:01,920 --> 01:33:08,080
the desktop is more of a formality. It's

1289
01:33:05,679 --> 01:33:12,639
um it's great for using Office 2013, which is on here, but other than that,

1290
01:33:10,080 --> 01:33:19,120
there's not a whole lot going on for desktop applications.

1291
01:33:15,679 --> 01:33:20,719
So, yeah, that's a big drawback. Um,

1292
01:33:19,120 --> 01:33:28,000
Minecraft is not going to be on Windows 8. Okay. Do I lift? No. Can you explain

1293
01:33:24,960 --> 01:33:30,560
dual pumps in a serial loop? Um, yeah,

1294
01:33:28,000 --> 01:33:34,639
more more more pressure. Um, which is good. More pressure is good. Also,

1295
01:33:32,560 --> 01:33:39,280
redundancy. Um, running pumps in parallel is basically stupid because you

1296
01:33:37,040 --> 01:33:44,320
get more flow rate, but uh you don't get more pressure. And since most of the

1297
01:33:42,080 --> 01:33:49,040
limitations in a water cooling loop are due to pressure drop and not due to

1298
01:33:46,480 --> 01:33:52,159
needing like a higher maximum flow rate, um, serial is great. And then if one of

1299
01:33:50,800 --> 01:33:56,080
your pumps dies, it won't matter because your system will still work. What Z77

1300
01:33:55,199 --> 01:34:01,600
motherboard would you recommend for under 200 bucks? I don't know. Get an M power or Sabertooth. Are those under 200

1301
01:33:59,360 --> 01:34:04,560
bucks? I don't know. What's the history with the Playboy Matt

1302
01:34:03,040 --> 01:34:09,440
thing? I covered this in a previous live stream, but it was a gift sort of. Are

1303
01:34:08,480 --> 01:34:14,719
you ever going to have some special guests to do some live streaming with you? Hopefully at some point, but uh

1304
01:34:12,400 --> 01:34:18,560
this is at like nine o'clock my time, so it's not like many people will want to

1305
01:34:16,320 --> 01:34:21,120
hang out with me at this time. Did you know that Windows 8 has a taskbar for

1306
01:34:20,000 --> 01:34:26,719
each screen natively if you use multimonitors? I did not know that, but that sounds awesome. I have I like I

1307
01:34:24,639 --> 01:34:32,560
said, I haven't used Windows 8 much yet. Uh it's a G9, not a G9X. I love it.

1308
01:34:30,320 --> 01:34:36,560
Double tap, blah blah. Yeah, that's lame multitasking though, compared to what

1309
01:34:34,159 --> 01:34:40,239
we're seeing on Windows. I need iOS lessons. No, I knew all this stuff at

1310
01:34:38,239 --> 01:34:43,120
some point. Like I've used all these all these gestures and things that people

1311
01:34:41,600 --> 01:34:46,639
are showing me, but it's just something that I never really found that practical

1312
01:34:44,719 --> 01:34:50,159
because I wasn't because I wasn't able to multitask effectively and actually

1313
01:34:48,400 --> 01:34:56,000
use two applications at the same time, which you can't. iOS forces you to focus

1314
01:34:53,040 --> 01:35:00,639
one app. Um, it just faded from memory and I never really thought about it too

1315
01:34:57,440 --> 01:35:04,000
much. Personal rig updates anytime soon?

1316
01:35:00,639 --> 01:35:08,320
No. What camera are you using currently?

1317
01:35:04,000 --> 01:35:12,239
I'm using an8 $8,500 camera, so there

1318
01:35:08,320 --> 01:35:15,280
you go. It better be smooth. Uh, it's an

1319
01:35:12,239 --> 01:35:16,880
FS700 from Sony. What do you recommend

1320
01:35:15,280 --> 01:35:22,000
for a big hand gaming mouse that's cheap? Uh, maybe a MionX NOS 3200,

1321
01:35:20,239 --> 01:35:24,719
something like that. Please make a video about the new AMD drivers and

1322
01:35:23,360 --> 01:35:32,560
performance gains in Battlefield 3. Do you really need me to do that? I can just tweet that. Um, AMD has that.

1323
01:35:30,800 --> 01:35:36,880
Dig himself in a hole in regards to Windows 8. I am not digging myself in a

1324
01:35:34,560 --> 01:35:39,440
hole. You will see. Uh, do you think tablets will be around for another

1325
01:35:38,159 --> 01:35:44,800
decade or will they die out as our phones continue to grow in size and function? Well, no. We will always need

1326
01:35:42,719 --> 01:35:48,400
bigger screens. Um, especially older people. And the people who are

1327
01:35:46,400 --> 01:35:53,199
techsavvy, nerdy, geeky people are going to continue to get older. Um, so what

1328
01:35:51,760 --> 01:35:57,360
that's going to mean is their eyesight's going to start sucking, which means they're going to need bigger screens.

1329
01:35:56,000 --> 01:36:01,120
So, no, tablet's never going to disappear. And phones, I think, are

1330
01:35:59,280 --> 01:36:05,199
already as big as they need to be. Um, iPhone 4, iPhone 5 is as big as I ever

1331
01:36:03,360 --> 01:36:10,480
need my phone to be because I want to actually hold my phone like this, like a

1332
01:36:06,960 --> 01:36:11,920
phone. Um, Esther has a Galaxy Note, and

1333
01:36:10,480 --> 01:36:16,880
it's the most ridiculous thing in the world because you're like,

1334
01:36:14,560 --> 01:36:21,040
you know, basically like, yes, hello. And we see

1335
01:36:19,440 --> 01:36:24,000
spoofs about stuff like that, but come on. That's the direction you're heading

1336
01:36:22,480 --> 01:36:28,960
at a certain point. So, no, it's not going to happen. Um, how will the

1337
01:36:26,400 --> 01:36:32,560
Surface play games? Not not at all yet as far as I know other than like casual

1338
01:36:30,800 --> 01:36:37,360
games and I haven't like I said I haven't had much time with it. I played with it a little bit at work today.

1339
01:36:35,360 --> 01:36:41,040
Cameraman played with it more than I did and then I came home. I set up my live

1340
01:36:39,199 --> 01:36:46,159
stream and I'm doing my live stream. So that's what I got. I'm the guy with the

1341
01:36:43,440 --> 01:36:50,880
AGP video card. Found a 9600 GT at the dump. That's awesome. But no, don't get

1342
01:36:48,320 --> 01:36:54,080
a second one. Um what do I do if all my hard drives have been reformatted? My

1343
01:36:52,239 --> 01:36:58,080
main one stopped working on Windows control panel.

1344
01:36:56,560 --> 01:37:04,800
Looks like you're looking at data recovery software at the very least. Um,

1345
01:37:02,080 --> 01:37:08,800
yeah, I'm sorry to hear that. Do I prefer Surface or other manufacturers RT

1346
01:37:06,960 --> 01:37:12,320
tablet? Um, I've only played with the Vivo Tab so far and very little. It

1347
01:37:10,560 --> 01:37:18,239
depends what you're after. I love kickstand. Kickstand is amazing. Um,

1348
01:37:14,480 --> 01:37:20,400
kickstand is like what turns uh Surface

1349
01:37:18,239 --> 01:37:24,040
from a tablet into more like a notebook replacement to me.

1350
01:37:24,560 --> 01:37:29,840
Surface is a little bit um a little bit

1351
01:37:28,159 --> 01:37:34,400
heavy. It's a little bit on the heavier side for what I would sort of like to

1352
01:37:31,440 --> 01:37:39,040
see for a tablet. Um so the Vivo the Vivo Tab is very light. Just awesome

1353
01:37:37,280 --> 01:37:44,320
form factor. Rounded edges. Although I'm not sure I'm sold on rounded edges anymore now that I've felt these beveled

1354
01:37:41,760 --> 01:37:48,000
edges. It feels very natural to hold. It depends what you want. If you want if

1355
01:37:46,480 --> 01:37:54,320
you want something lighter, if you want something you're going to use only as a tablet or if you don't mind having like

1356
01:37:50,800 --> 01:37:56,480
a click in dock. I mean, I love the way

1357
01:37:54,320 --> 01:38:00,560
that the covers attach to Surface. This is just amazing. You just kind of hold

1358
01:37:58,320 --> 01:38:03,840
them like sort of remotely close to each other and it just clicks into place. You

1359
01:38:02,239 --> 01:38:10,239
don't even have to even try to line it up. It's just like done. Um whereas

1360
01:38:06,400 --> 01:38:11,600
ASUS's uh like docking stations, docking

1361
01:38:10,239 --> 01:38:15,920
keyboard stations are a little bit different than that.

1362
01:38:14,080 --> 01:38:22,719
Um dear Linus Tech Tips, can you please look at WD keyboards? Uh yeah, I there's

1363
01:38:20,960 --> 01:38:27,280
so many keyboard brands and people are only so interested in them. Jacob asks

1364
01:38:25,280 --> 01:38:32,800
if I think iPad is dead because of the Surface. Uh no.

1365
01:38:29,840 --> 01:38:37,040
Apple has so much momentum. Um I am a college dropout or flunk out, whichever

1366
01:38:35,280 --> 01:38:41,360
you prefer. What are my thoughts on the upcoming Surface Pro? I'm super excited,

1367
01:38:39,920 --> 01:38:45,360
especially based on what I've seen from Surface.

1368
01:38:43,520 --> 01:38:49,199
And now I've broken everything. Oh, he has 11 followers. Look at that. Uh, I

1369
01:38:47,840 --> 01:38:52,239
love Windows 8, but it's really nothing for me on my desktop PC with touchscreen

1370
01:38:50,960 --> 01:38:56,719
because it's like a thousand feet away. Exactly. Um, I don't I'm not going to be

1371
01:38:55,040 --> 01:39:00,480
telling people to upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 8 on their desktops anytime

1372
01:38:58,480 --> 01:39:04,000
soon. I know you love cats. What do you think about dogs? I think they smell,

1373
01:39:02,080 --> 01:39:08,480
but otherwise, I love them. Love their attitude. Great attitude, champ. But you

1374
01:39:06,480 --> 01:39:11,920
smell bad. Go outside. That's my sort of take on dogs. They're also way too much

1375
01:39:10,320 --> 01:39:15,760
work. When we got the cats, we were kind of like neither of us were home very

1376
01:39:13,840 --> 01:39:20,080
much. We both work a lot, so it was like having a dog wouldn't be fair. Um, I'll

1377
01:39:17,840 --> 01:39:24,560
probably do the dog thing once the kids demand it. That would be that would be

1378
01:39:22,639 --> 01:39:27,040
the threshold for me. Although, I regret putting this up on the internet now

1379
01:39:25,920 --> 01:39:32,800
because they're going to find this stream and they're going to remind me that I told my my internet viewers that

1380
01:39:31,520 --> 01:39:38,239
I was going to get a dog at some point and they're going to make me do it. But we'll see. Uh, what do I think of Linux

1381
01:39:36,560 --> 01:39:42,800
as a gaming platform? Absolutely nothing. I think it'll be 20 years

1382
01:39:40,239 --> 01:39:49,280
before Linux even makes headroom. Okay, maybe 10 years. But yeah. Um, do I

1383
01:39:47,360 --> 01:39:53,360
know anywhere blah blah custom laptop? Don't get a custom laptop. Get a real

1384
01:39:51,119 --> 01:39:57,679
laptop. Um, what do you think about Surface as a controller for media on

1385
01:39:54,800 --> 01:40:01,040
your desktop? I think that um convincing people that they have to have a tablet.

1386
01:39:59,360 --> 01:40:05,440
Until tablets reach the same kind of price points as something like an Nexus

1387
01:40:02,480 --> 01:40:09,760
7 where it's like at or under $200, then it's very hard to convince me to do that

1388
01:40:07,760 --> 01:40:14,000
because I don't carry a tablet around with me, which means that either that

1389
01:40:12,159 --> 01:40:17,920
tablet would live near my TV and it would live on my coffee table to be used

1390
01:40:16,000 --> 01:40:21,520
for that or to be used here and it would like its charging station would be like

1391
01:40:19,360 --> 01:40:24,719
here in the corner or it would be my tablet and it would be like wherever I

1392
01:40:23,280 --> 01:40:28,719
left it around my house. And come on, let's face it. TV watchers, even

1393
01:40:26,960 --> 01:40:34,080
compared to PC gamers, are like the laziest guys ever. Um, are they going to

1394
01:40:32,000 --> 01:40:38,000
go upstairs to get the remote or are they just going to watch TV? They're

1395
01:40:35,520 --> 01:40:43,280
going to watch TV. So, no, I'm not sold on that. Uh, really want one of those

1396
01:40:41,119 --> 01:40:46,880
changed to blah blah blah blah blah. Is there going to be any future with socket

1397
01:40:44,480 --> 01:40:51,639
1155? No, there won't be. You are stuck at 3770K.

1398
01:40:48,639 --> 01:40:51,639
So,

1399
01:40:51,760 --> 01:40:56,719
here will be the grand actually. Okay, I'll do one more Twitter question. I'm

1400
01:40:55,199 --> 01:41:00,960
going to do whatever is the top when I refresh it here. 115 120 new

1401
01:40:59,840 --> 01:41:07,119
interactions. You guys are killing me here. When you watch TV, what shows do

1402
01:41:03,440 --> 01:41:09,360
you watch minus? Um I I watch pretty

1403
01:41:07,119 --> 01:41:14,320
much anything Seth McFarland works on. So your family guys, your American dads.

1404
01:41:12,159 --> 01:41:18,880
Um particularly American Dad would be my favorite out of his stable these days.

1405
01:41:16,719 --> 01:41:23,679
Uh love South Park. South Park is my favorite show by a long shot. Um, love

1406
01:41:21,760 --> 01:41:27,600
Futurama, although I thought the most recent season started off kind of weak

1407
01:41:25,600 --> 01:41:32,320
or the the comeback season started off kind of weak, but then got a lot

1408
01:41:29,119 --> 01:41:34,080
stronger as things went on. Um, most

1409
01:41:32,320 --> 01:41:37,119
yeah, mostly animated stuff. I've watched all the way through House. I

1410
01:41:35,360 --> 01:41:41,040
love Seinfeld, but these aren't things that I watch over and over again. I

1411
01:41:38,560 --> 01:41:46,480
don't watch much TV because what I discover is that um, every time I start

1412
01:41:43,840 --> 01:41:51,920
a show, if I don't enjoy it, then I'm wasting my time. And if I do enjoy it,

1413
01:41:48,800 --> 01:41:54,480
then I don't sleep. Like it's like

1414
01:41:51,920 --> 01:41:58,320
books. Like I love reading. Last time I was on vacation on my honeymoon, I

1415
01:41:56,560 --> 01:42:02,960
burned through something like 28 novels in the two weeks, two and a

1416
01:42:00,560 --> 01:42:05,920
half weeks I was gone. And uh like because once I pick it up, I can't put

1417
01:42:04,480 --> 01:42:09,679
it down. So if I have other responsibilities like filming videos or

1418
01:42:07,760 --> 01:42:13,600
going to work, then it's very very difficult for me to watch TV or read

1419
01:42:11,280 --> 01:42:18,320
books because I they consume my life very quickly. Um, actually Elliot asked

1420
01:42:16,960 --> 01:42:23,360
a good question. What do you think about Microsoft Smart Glass? I think that Gen

1421
01:42:20,480 --> 01:42:27,679
One is kind of neat. Um, and that it's really going to be more like Gen Two or

1422
01:42:25,360 --> 01:42:32,560
once we see some more software revisions before that kind of thing is really,

1423
01:42:29,280 --> 01:42:36,840
really cool. So, live unboxing of the

1424
01:42:32,560 --> 01:42:36,840
Darth Vader PEZ dispenser.

1425
01:42:38,320 --> 01:42:45,600
Okay, here I'm going to get a little bit closer here for you guys so you can

1426
01:42:42,480 --> 01:42:47,520
collect them all. So, there is Emperor

1427
01:42:45,600 --> 01:42:52,480
Palpatine, Darth Maul, Darth Vader, R2-D23, C3PO, and Yoda. Although, I wish

1428
01:42:50,960 --> 01:42:56,080
they'd just take Darth Maul off there because he's the only thing that's uh

1429
01:42:54,480 --> 01:42:59,679
keeping this from being entirely original trilogy, which would make it

1430
01:42:57,600 --> 01:43:04,159
better. There's instructions for loading in the candy. There's also nutritional

1431
01:43:01,840 --> 01:43:07,679
facts about Pez candy in general. I suspect uh for nutrition, they should

1432
01:43:06,080 --> 01:43:12,320
just put something along the lines of none and leave it at that. I mean, PEZ

1433
01:43:10,719 --> 01:43:20,560
isn't going to kill you, but it's not going to do anything positive for you either. Let's go ahead and open this bad

1434
01:43:16,000 --> 01:43:22,719
boy up. A comes with two

1435
01:43:20,560 --> 01:43:25,840
PEZ packets. And do they come pre-loaded? No, they do not. I don't

1436
01:43:24,639 --> 01:43:30,080
know. It's been a long time since I've had PEZ. So, to load a PEZ dispenser,

1437
01:43:28,400 --> 01:43:37,360
you open it up. Look, Darth Vader has a long neck. Oh, and it closed. Okay, so

1438
01:43:33,840 --> 01:43:39,280
let's open up a PEZ packet here. And uh

1439
01:43:37,360 --> 01:43:42,400
not labeled for individual sale. Fascinating. What do you wait? What do

1440
01:43:40,719 --> 01:43:46,800
you think, guys? Lemon candy or strawberry candy? So, we got strawberry.

1441
01:43:45,440 --> 01:43:51,280
See if that focuses. I don't think it's gonna Oh, no. It's not in manual. All right. It's not auto mode. Let's go auto

1442
01:43:50,000 --> 01:43:56,000
mode. This is probably been out of focus the whole time. Okay, there we go.

1443
01:43:53,520 --> 01:43:59,920
Strawberry. Still not going to focus for me. Whatever. Screw you, camera. Or

1444
01:43:58,080 --> 01:44:04,880
lemon. You can tell from the colors. Okay, I got votes for strawberry. I got

1445
01:44:02,080 --> 01:44:08,960
votes for lemon. Oh, I think I see more lemon votes in the Twitch chat. So,

1446
01:44:06,800 --> 01:44:12,560
there we go. I'm gonna open up the lemon here.

1447
01:44:10,880 --> 01:44:17,600
All right. See, we're having fun. We have fun on this live stream. All right.

1448
01:44:14,960 --> 01:44:22,080
I got my I got my uh got my lemon candies here. Although, some of the

1449
01:44:19,360 --> 01:44:25,040
paper clung to the candy, and I'm having a little bit of troubles kind of loading

1450
01:44:23,840 --> 01:44:29,360
this in. It's been a long time since I've done this, you guys. I'm like 26

1451
01:44:26,960 --> 01:44:37,040
now, so PEZ hasn't exactly been a part of my life for uh for a number of years.

1452
01:44:32,400 --> 01:44:38,400
Um let's go ahead and put that in there.

1453
01:44:37,040 --> 01:44:44,159
I mean, not that I'm saying you can outgrow PEZ because that's not what I'm saying at all. I was excited as excited

1454
01:44:41,920 --> 01:44:49,119
to get my new Darth Vader Pez dispenser as I was to ever get any PEZ dispenser

1455
01:44:46,239 --> 01:44:53,360
ever before in my life as well. So, let's just go ahead and try to put that

1456
01:44:51,199 --> 01:44:57,679
in there. You can save strawberry for later, says

1457
01:44:55,280 --> 01:45:03,520
one of the Twitch Twitch contributors tonight. Yes, I can. Thank you. I will

1458
01:45:01,520 --> 01:45:09,920
save the strawberry for later. So, I'm finishing up the lemon. And that

1459
01:45:07,840 --> 01:45:14,159
pretty much wraps up the live stream for tonight. Darth Vader has been loaded.

1460
01:45:12,000 --> 01:45:17,600
This is my Darth Vader Pez dispenser. And let's see if I can get it to

1461
01:45:15,440 --> 01:45:22,080
actually focus here. It could be that like manual focus isn't on. Focus auto.

1462
01:45:20,480 --> 01:45:26,159
Yeah, no, autofocus is on. I don't know. Whatever. This is the Darth Vader Pez

1463
01:45:23,920 --> 01:45:33,280
dispenser. That will be the prize, crown jewel of my Pez dispenser collection of

1464
01:45:28,880 --> 01:45:35,520
one because I only have one. And

1465
01:45:33,280 --> 01:45:40,480
that wraps up this live stream. Now I'm going to like make out with Darth Vader.

1466
01:45:37,520 --> 01:45:47,320
Get some candy, get some sugar. Thank you for tuning in. May the force be with

1467
01:45:42,880 --> 01:45:47,320
you all and good night.
