0:07
who was here last oh
0:13
yeah it's james it's a reference you pooped your pants
0:16
we all saw it AMD shares rose last week due to news of
0:20
Intel facing a supply shortage possibly affecting its chip production with AMD
0:24
saying they could triple their market share but today AMD shares fell again
0:29
after a statement from Intel's interim ceo bob swan
0:32
bob swan sounds like an aluminum siding salesman one word hey hey bob swan what needs
0:38
some aluminum siding we can get rid of that
0:41
all bob assured investors that Intel has enough supply to meet its goals and the
0:45
chipmaker is investing one billion dollars into its manufacturing sites to
0:50
increase production of its 14 nanometer chips with more attention paid to high
0:54
performance rather than entry level parts 10 nanometer chips from the
0:57
company are apparently coming although volume production won't begin until
1:00
2019. Intel has repeatedly denied claims that they're in trouble with their chip
1:04
production is everyone else getting it wrong or is Intel just the corporate
1:08
equivalent of the olympic weightlifter that's known for how many pounds you can lift and his friends are like sven are
1:12
you okay looks like you're in pain and sven is like i'm fine leave me alone
1:16
tries to double the weight on the bar and lifts and throws his back out and then he has to resort to being the
1:20
grizzled old potty mouth coach for the next generation of olympic weight
1:23
lifters maybe it's like that facebook has had a wild couple of days first it
1:28
came out that the company was using phone numbers that users had supplied
1:31
for the purpose of two-factor authentication to target those users
1:35
with ads which facebook did confirm boo yeah then a white hat taiwanese hacker
1:40
publicly announced he would livestream an attempt to take down mark zuckerberg's facebook profile this
1:45
sunday but after the story gained steam online the hacker backed down saying
1:49
he'll simply report the exploit he discovered to facebook much lamer but
1:54
then it was announced that facebook got hacked anyway with almost 50 million
1:58
users being exposed by a vulnerability in the vue as feature with which lets
2:02
you switch between accounts on the site which has since been fixed though
2:07
so facebook says they have yet to determine whether these accounts were misused or any information accessed but
2:12
they're saying you don't have to reset your password it's a little bit
2:16
confusing i would probably just reset your password anyway so don't don't take
2:21

simulator recreating the interior of the uss enterprise has been shut down by a
5:31
cease-and-desist letter from cbs which owns the rights to star trek tv shows
5:34
but if you're upset about that you can still get lenovo's titanium enterprise
5:38
pc which fits a full system into a somewhat faithful recreation of the
5:42
starship those are completely separate things i don't know why one would replace the other but
5:47
at least it's licensed hey this probably can we say enterprise
