0:03
we've been building a new set here in the studio and that is not because we

0:17

0:22
and rapid-fire manner all we need now
0:26

0:59

1:09

1:12

1:18

1:41
description
1:53
oh my god riley what are you doing here
1:57
you remember how to host videos right midday
2:01
yes oh my god cut it out you hosted a tech show for
2:06
like four years come on let's let's get you cleaned up
2:09
come on so
2:13
there's been a lot of speculation over the last six months about us buying out
2:18
the ncix tech tips youtube channel and
2:22
confession time we have been working on it
2:31
so i made an initial offer which was
2:34
when i found out about the pending buyer
2:42
but i'm a shareholder or i'm on the board of directors or something i don't
2:46
know it made no sense to me whatsoever so
2:56
so to say that i was pretty cheesed off by this point would be a
3:00
gross understatement
3:06
so any purchaser of the rest of the company or a creditor
3:11
or even that individual with the login credentials
3:15
could challenge my ownership
3:23
due to some weird loopholes that are specific to intellectual property law
3:29
and they kind of make sense because if
3:36
frankly it's not even worth what i was offering at this point
3:40
but i mean for me i already had the host and
3:44
it's kind of like monopoly right like it's worth it to overpay for
3:48
park place if you've already got boardwalk
3:51
so long story short this has actually been
3:54
a very emotional ride for me because i i had really wanted to bring my old
4:00
stomping ground back to its former glory like the last thing that i wanted to see
4:04
was some company that doesn't understand the audience doesn't understand youtube
4:08
and doesn't understand how much sweat blood and tears went into making that
4:12
what it is just upload marketing videos to it
4:17
but even after over five thousand dollars in
4:21
legal fees and many hours especially from Yvonne she worked really hard on
4:26
this we just couldn't make it happen so
4:29
i'm i'm honestly i'm sorry to everyone i'm sorry to everyone who was involved
4:33
in the deal the viewers who really wanted to see it come back and
4:38
just sort of in general but
4:42
there's a silver lining so we actually made the deal to hire
4:46
riley as soon as there was some hint as soon as we got a sniff of getting the
4:50
channel so what we've decided to do is to just
4:54
go forward with a brand new show a spiritual successor
4:59
so it'll be a host and maybe it'll be me
5:02
maybe it'll be riley who knows maybe Colton will host it i don't care and the
5:05
host will be kind of uh standing here like this
5:09
like this really no no not like that
5:13
like this that's right boom
5:18
and what it's going to be in a nutshell is on a new channel we're going to call
5:23
the channel techlinked yeah
5:26
that really is the best we could come up with every episode will be about five to
5:30
six minutes long on mondays wednesdays and fridays and it'll cover the biggest
5:34
tech stories of the day and it's gonna be sort of sort of like this
5:40
chipmaker advanced micro devices has announced that they are going to be
5:45
purchasing finally the graphics accelerator design company ati for a
5:50
cool 5.4 billion dollars rumors about
5:53
the possible sale been flying around for months and apparently AMD decided to go
5:58
through with it but as ati's stock price on the market soared AMD's dropped due
6:04
to investor concern that AMD paid too much for the acquisition kind of like
6:08
you right yeah yeah
6:12
he had no choice but to say that it's great buying ati will allow AMD to offer
6:17
integrated graphics on their cpus giving them an edge over rival Intel reportedly
6:23
AMD initially tried to purchase graphics giant NVIDIA but its ceo jensen huang
6:28
insisted that he lead the new company and AMD chief hector roose wasn't having
6:33
any of that uh uh so AMD set it sites on ati instead
6:39
and pulled the trigger the gun went ah this is so redundant
6:43
how many times are you gonna say they did the deal and just like shooting someone in real
6:48
life that decision has haunted AMD ever since
6:54
so it's going to be kind of like that except current news not news from 12
