Okay, we got a bunch of stuff. We'll get some of the ones that are just like kind of repetitive out of the way really fast So we got more keyboard stuff. Okay, so these are keyboard plates that you would use You have an enclosure you have a PCB and you want to stabilize the Key so they don't kind of wiggle back and forth, especially if you're using socketed MX PCBs, which people love This is a 60% GH60 very standard common layout You see it fits into any of our 60% keyboard shells. We have quite a few of them. I'll give this a couple colors You have silver we have a gorgeous Blink of purple Here's another angle shot and then we also have black They're all the same thing, but I just wanted to carry them a couple different colors in addition to these mechanical stability plates We have this kind of this foam Insert sheet so this is an insert that you people like okay.  Yeah, well I just think these are cool little fidget toys and also if you want to show off Your custom key. So of course we have the animation It doesn't come with a key cap We sell tons of cool key caps, but we're showing them of course with a to fruit does not come with a human hand Not come with it really nice But we did get them in a couple different colors red green blue and white which we thought were the most fun And then let's go to the overhead real fast I can show them off because I want to show the them in 3d. Yeah, so I got Yeah, and we just put more of the github ones in stock and then github Yeah, and this is what it looks like without it on there, but let's go to the overhead So these are all very similar, but again different colors so I can press them all at once And they look great each one of them comes with a Key switch already installed. It's a blue clicky And on the bottom is a cr 1220 coin cell battery This mechanically connects like the led to the the battery So it'll last like seven or eight years Abuse and then of course you can always Use a little screwdriver or something wedge the key out replace the battery if you'd like Um, you even can replace the led if you if you want to but um, it's just a fun little key chain And we wanted to do a little bit of a giveaway once in a while where people can get one of our key caps And also light it up. I don't know. I just think these are adorable. Okay cute little gift and a fun fidget toy strain gauges Next up, uh, these are strain gauges that we will not be stocking again We stock 75 millimeter strain gauges and we got a shipment of 80 millimeter And we didn't want to throw them out because they're they're still very useful Um, but that said after we sell through these 80 millimeter long ones, we will not stock them again Um, they're a little bit cheaper than the 75 millimeter ones because we're just gonna sell them out And uh, if you're if you're doing a project, you don't need hundreds and hundreds of these You only need like five to 10 for your project and you won't need them again And you're okay with the slightly longer size. They work great. I think we've got five and 10 kilogram versions Yeah The other ones and then Solenoid Adorable little solenoid this one. It's a little friend. It's a six volt solenoid A lot of people have been asking for us to please carry more low voltage solenoids because 12 volts 24 volts isn't the standard Um, but this little mini lock solenoid, which is quite popular. Um, we have a 12 volt We've asked for it in six volts now The deal is that if you're going to run it as a lower voltage You're going to have to give it a lot more current because it still needs the same amount of power So it's a 600 milliamp draw device So just be aware if you're running it off of battery or even off of usb That's kind of the like the limit of what usb will give you 500 milliamps or so That said it's pretty easy. It's a pull type solenoid So when it's unpowered the little widget thing the triangle is sticking out when you give it six volt power The triangle pulls in and you can open the box or unlock unlatch or unlock something These are are quite popular little push solenoids or push pull solenoids For you some projects like geocaching or if you want to have like a magical box that opens when somebody like scans their fingerprint or their eye Or you know machine learning project Hustle mounting holes very easy to use and like I said, you can run off of six volts You can might be even get away with five volts. Just make sure again. You need 600 milliamps next up Okay, we saw this being used in a bunch of like diy keyboard projects and I'm going to stock it I will say yes. It is not up to the usb c PD spec but it does work and a lot of people were using them and so We have a breakout that if you really want something that fulfills the specification and it has the right resistors This will work fine on most computers every computer. I try it on works It may not work on a power supply that requires Power delivery resistors. Um, it's kind of a hacky thing. It's a little bit punk. I like to carry stuff That's a little bit punk sometimes that is. Yeah, this is one of those things some guy emailed us and said that uh We flaglantly flagrantly disregarded The usb cip back and we're polluting The usb c ecosystem and so out of it So there's yeah, so we get emails from guys often and they say things like your code is spewing Your code is spewing all over the place because we have like so much open source code And I've never in my entire life heard or seen emails to dudes from dudes This is because you made this lemur and I think it's cool. I think it's cool Okay. Well, I think I think it's cool too. It's a little punk rock. It's a little different again You care about the pd spec? Anyways get the version we make with the with the resistors you get the products cost money, but that rant was free Okay, these are we had some tower lights last week and I saw these from the same supplier and it's kind of weird. It's a hemisphere Alarm light inside is red yellow green leds and you can see you can kind of turn them on and off It's yellow and then green and then red. So it's meant for alarming But it's like a hemispherical light and there's two versions. Okay, so you actually go back to the Yeah, okay, so this version see has got those holes on the side Those holes are for a buzzer. So this version has a buzzer And it plugs into usb. So one of the nice things about these alarm lights Is that they show up as a serial port you just send them commands through Python or shell script or whatever you'd like minicom and they'll turn on the leds And they'll turn on the buzzer. So you don't need to do any wiring. The code is very very simple There's no 12 volt power supply. It's plug-and-go and you've got this like alarm system A lot of people like to do a little like oh when I get email at blinks or if somebody, you know is You know went to my website at blinks or buzzes or who knows what? This will do the job admirably. It's quite easy to use if you want to use it through a website You can even use it with web serial because again, it just shows it as a comport We also have a version that looks very similar and It has the same code the same kind of design except this one is Weatherproof and it doesn't have an ip waiting, but I'm going to guess it's something like ip 64 It's going to be dustproof and like I wouldn't dunk it under water But you could probably splash it with some water and it'll be fine It is sealed and it doesn't have a buzzer. That's the trade-off If I had a buzzer it had holes in it it wouldn't be weatherproof But this one's probably better for you know more robotics or exposed stuff You could probably have it outdoors as long as it isn't like directly in the rain And you can use it for alarming or Notifying somebody, you know with light not with sound the other one with sound So two different versions don't mix them up. You either get a buzzer or you get the weatherproofness except We got an update to our 2.9 inch e-ink flexible display If you do e-ink, you know that e-ink displays are constantly coming out with new chipsets They they're pretty much the same shape design pinouts whatever But the driver it changes the drivers are getting discontinued and Replaced like every three months. It seems anyways, it's time for the 2.9 inch e-ink display Um, I think it was using the ili 0373. It is now using the uc 8151d we have code and circuit python python and arduino no matter what so no worries It's a flexible display. I think it's really cool People are sending us some flexible displays today and i'm like you can get this e-ink display and it and it has like 300 by 150 pixels and it works great and it's flexible Let's check it out and it works with all of our e-ink driver adapter boards kind of have the standard pinout Next up Okay, next up. Uh, these are kind of cool. We actually saw these I think what Naomi had been on her Yeah, and I immediately, um started making Glowing lego like bricks and and posted it up and uh, cool I was told I didn't use the right capitalization. Yeah, this is lego. Please scan it So you had a couple different, uh ones here and this is magical when you see it So we're just gonna go to the demos almost almost right away You didn't wire up the demo I did but it says then I had to move it because oh, yeah, the thing was so large All right, then I'm just gonna play this video until okay. Okay. Okay. Okay I have a video on our youtube channel. Yeah, why don't you play it? No, I can't I'm doing this show right now Yeah, I can't I can't go to youtube Let me install for time here. No, no, no, I'm fine. Here's this one Look the show's live Yeah, okay, so let's go to the overhead. So if you do have lego like bricks you can embed these inside of it And make a lot of cool stuff and that's what I did. That's what I did and they should do that too And they should also stop bugging me about The lego capitalization the way that do you want to put these in like a lego cop car because then it could be Yeah, I do. Okay. All right. So here's how it works. Uh, this is A uh inductive coil driver So this driver you give it this one in particular is five volts And here's a inductive coil and we have inductive coil chargers and like key chargers You know, they they use inductive the inductive property is where the code is inductive This is one side of the coil and then normally on a transformer you have another coil There's a magnetic field coming out of here. It couples to the other coil passing over Transmitting over electromagnetic energy into the other coil And so if you have that coil for example As a inductor soldered onto an led You'll see that it glows when it's in the vicinity now Like uh any coil inducting trans inductive transfer system. You want the coils to be co-planer What does that mean is that see how this coil is like curling around this way You want it to curl in the same plane. So it works best when it's pointing in the same You know, it's it's within the same circular plane if I tilt this over to the side It gets dimmer and then if I have it on its side It actually turns off because it the the electromagnetic current has to go in the same plane So the only thing is just watch out for that. If you're like, it doesn't work. No, it's working You just have to have them pointing up that said it is really cool. These are used often for like models Um, we see or again like lego or 3d printing things where you don't want to wire up an led Or you can't because you have to embed it in something so thin and small You don't want a battery pack But you can have a coil underneath and then um, you know, it lights it up from below I also think it'd be cool for arts and crafts You know, if you're sewing something or you have a wearable and you don't again You want to have something that's movable or adjustable or it doesn't have wires coming into it And then you have it powered from this external coil You get one of the coils you just power with five volts You get a bunch of leds in different colors You get red yellow green blue two of each Of these little coils and they look cool in their nifty We're gonna do some 3d printing projects with these So that's the five volt version and then if you're like, you know, the one thing about this is it only works I think, you know a couple Works like, you know one two three inches away from the coil Um, and of course you have to kind of be inside of the coil for it to work best Maybe you're like, I want something a little bit bigger I want something to work a little bit more distant you can upgrade to the larger coil now the larger coil is large Mega coil all right while you're doing that i'm gonna I'm gonna show that So that's a small coil. Sorry, there's so many coils. Okay, so this is the big coil This is small coil big coil Small coil big coil. You'll notice it's very big. It's a bigger coil That means it can transmit more electromagnetic energy But the trade-off is you have to power it with a lot more Voltage and current so instead of five volts you need 24 volts Which is a slightly unusual amount of voltage. We do have a 24 volt power supply Just be aware it's can and people don't often have a 24 volt power The bigger coil is fun because you can put the leds Um further away in the middle and you could do a lot more fun stuff with it Yes, people are talking about escape room projects and there's a lot of things you can do Yeah, I mean, this is cool. So what's nice about this is of course the coil is bigger So you can be much farther. You can be about six inches away Inducting you're like, well, the coil is four times larger. Why isn't it four times more powerful? It's because the inductance Transference is one over r squared or something one of our cube. So it's not linear But that said Well, um, you know, it works much Much further away than the other one. If you remembered the other coil, it was like two inches. This one is like Six to eight inches away. Of course, it depends, you know What else you have and if it's like perfectly aligned with the Plane of the coil, but this one is a little bit because there's so much more Power is a little bit more flexible. Even if you have it On its side, it still even lights up even if it's not co-planar because there's so much Power coming out of this coil. Uh, so there's the two coils. The leds themselves are the same But again, one coil big one coil small Which do you need which do you want depends on how far away you want the leds to work And how much power you're willing to dump into the system All right, and next up start of the show tonight besides you lady to the community or customers everyone in the chat And the octo cat and our team is Oh the led glasses panel. Okay. This is the name of the product led glasses. Um I don't have a better name for yet because this is what it is I've always wanted to have leds on our face We have a bunch of neopixel projects that we've posted But they'll always like take some rings and you start them to a cutie pie and then, you know, whatever And I was like, well, what if we made it really easy to do led glasses Facebook and ray ban play their games and we're gonna play ours. This is ours This is this is not going to post to instagram for you, but it would look hella cool Um, so here's the thing each board is it's an i2c peripheral There's a stem and cutie connector on either side. There's no micro controller Instead, there's a little driver chip in the very center kind of in the center of the temple And that controls 116 rgv leds that are arranged in a kind of interesting way So paint your dragon came up with a interesting layout Instead of just having it be just like straight up grid There's two circles and then there's a grid. I think it's five by 16 Overlaid on those circles And so you can have like circular designs or you can have linear text scrolling type designs Or you can choose you can have both Um, and I thought that was kind of neat because I really like the circular eye design But I also wanted to be able to scroll text so this demo shows, you know, it's it's There's a lot of bright light on it. So it doesn't look very bright. Believe me It's it's plenty bright but you can have text going by and stuff going around the eyes Each circuit board you can have one of four different silkscreen. There's bug There is cat There is wolf And there is dragon So philby did the silkscreen for these and here's the deal You don't know which one you're gonna get and we can't control which one you're gonna get They are totally random in their box and we don't know what you're gonna get We want to try something a little where it's like A little random little chancey, but all four are really beautiful designs. So no matter which one you may get They're gonna look cool. And of course the electronics works the same All right, you got this Well, let me show you want to show them on the overhead or do you want to wear them? What do you want to do? All right lots of live demos today. Okay, so let's go to the uh Front camera So i've mounted them on to i got these um, they're they're for lack of a better word. They're like fashion glasses I guess these are popular with with k-pop stars Um, so this is me and what's cool is, you know, these glasses you can wear over them So you can see there's a grid So see the grid is like a rainbow grid and then there's two circles And so that's kind of the thing I think is neat is you can you can choose I'm switching between the two. I'm looking very cyberpunk But whether you want this style or the other style or both you can have text you can have swirly designs All sorts of good stuff. So then I thought let's go to the uh To the overhead and I'll show So yeah, this is them with the leds nice and bright and just showing the two designs So again, this is I squared c only you would connect this to your mic controller whether it's wi-fi or bluetooth Or it's like a cutie pie or whatever and then you can run our circuit python or arduino library code To control what's on it. Um, the reason we didn't put the mic controller on here is is first off We wanted to make it really simple so people could adapt and adjust to however they want Um, and second because usually you would have like a feather or something stuck to the side Like here and then um a little cable to connect with it And then of course if you want to add it's i squared c so i squared c coming in this way and then you can have sensors accelerometers light, you know detectors, what have you on the other side so you can make your own like Like you said like facebook glasses, but way better way more colorful Not from rayban. Yeah, and that is new products. That's new products


Let's just start from the snake, the snake, okay?  So I did that just a little bit about me and my leg, but I'm like, okay? Big guys because I was here for it. It's been a long time getting away from me and I wouldn't stop wrestling. So, you know, it's just, I think I went for so many things, but I took my time to tell you the long way, all right? I'm not that explosive, but I'm pretty beat. So, I got my ready, okay? I'm going to go underneath the whole school, right? It's elevated. Some people say, no. Okay? You stay here. Sit on this side of the thing and cinch this up, okay? That's tight, all right? People don't use that enough to get their bars, so it's a free bar. We've got this here, this one here. Just tell me, you have to go back down with the guy straight. Take it, it's a free bar. Okay? Now I've got my bar. I'm going to go down, okay? This is tight. That thing's, you know something really tight? When it hurts you, you're going to get a bar. It's hurting your wrist. It doesn't matter. It's going to be so tight up here. Not much you can do. Any questions?


And who are you? Hi, my name is Christina. I'm from Tech City UK. We're an organization that's supporting startups in the UK. So around here you are talking about Tech Nation 2016 transforming the UK. What are you trying to do with the UK? So every year we publish a report on the state of digital economy. So we have this one for 2016. It's basically a lot of nice infographics. So how is it going with the tech sector in the UK? The tech sector in the UK is growing. It's growing fast. So what makes it a government supported? Yes, so we are a government funded organization that's been around for the past five and a half years. We started in East London supporting the cluster that was emerging there. Now we're in other cities in the UK with an organization called Tech North. Is it like a company or not? Is it a private company? Is it the way you organize? Was it like a government organization? No, no, no. So we are a government funded organization. So you have some examples of successful startups that you helped. How did you help them? So we have different programs. The latest stage program is Future 50 program. So we have companies like Transferwise. We have CrowdCube and Just Eat Deliver Room, lots of others. Yeah, yeah, so we have 77 companies at the moment on the program and we help them with policy as well. Exactly, because we're kind of the body in between startups and the government. Then you have all these things going on here. What is Future 50? Yeah, so it's the Future 50 that I mentioned. Then we have AppScale for series A fast growing companies and then we have the Digital Business Academy which is 11 online courses on digital skills for people who want to start businesses. Even when Brexit is going to continue to attract people, that's hopefully what's going to happen. Yeah, definitely. So there's also one of our programs. So we have the Tech Nation visa scheme here which we have a 200 visa for special tech talent to come to the UK. Can you just say a little bit, there's something else going on here. How much is going on with governments kind of like support organizations helping people in London or the UK? Yeah, so there's different organizations that help startups. There's a couple at least. There's more. There's more. There's us, there's Tech London which you can talk to as well. They'll be happy to talk to you. Alright, thank you.


Hello friends, I am Sanjay Gupta. In this video, I am going to demonstrate you how you can count how many numbers are positive, negative and zero in array by passing array into function using pointer. Before starting, you can note my information, you can follow or subscribe my YouTube channel through the URL youtube.com slash sanjaygupta underscore text rule. You can download my programming app Techimus which is available on Google Play. Now I am going to implement solution of this problem. So first I am including a header file that is stdi.h. Now I am declaring a function whose name is count. It will receive an argument that will be an address of array. Its written type is void. So this statement is function declaration. After this function declaration, I am defining main function definition. So here I am declaring two variables an array and variable i. Now with the help of printf, I am going to display the message enter 10 numbers on console. Now this for loop will repeat 10 times to receive 10 elements from user and all the elements will be received through scanf and they will be stored inside array a. Now I am calling count function and I have passed a array inside it. So this statement is function calling. Here you can see I am passing name of array in form of base address. So whenever we pass name of array into a function call, it automatically pass its base address into the function definition. At last return zero. So this is the definition of main. Now I have to define count function definition. So this block is function definition. Here you can see p pointer is declared which will receive base address of array a. So with the help of this p pointer, I can access all the locations of array. So first I am declaring some variables here. C1, C2, C3. These are initialized with zero. Now I am implementing for loop which will repeat 10 times. Inside this for loop, I have to apply conditions for checking positive, negative and zero. So this is first condition. See it carefully. Here asterisk p is written. So p is having base address of array and asterisk means value at address. So this asterisk will find out the value which is available on that base address and it will be compared with zero. So if it is greater than zero, then C1 will be incremented by one. If this condition is false, then asterisk p will be compared with zero. So if this condition is true, C2 will be incremented. Otherwise C3 will be incremented. So this way I have checked whether the element which is available at an address is positive, negative or zero. After comparing base location, I have to increase the pointer by one. So using this p plus plus pointer will be pointing to the second location of array and then again asterisk p will be dereferencing that location so that it can find out the value available on that address and it will be compared with zero, whether it is greater than zero, less than zero or equals to zero. So accordingly C1, C2 or C3 will be incremented. So this process will repeat 10 times after completion of loop. The result will be available inside C1, C2, C3. So these results can be displayed on console with the help of printf. So positive count will be displayed, then negative count will be displayed and then zero count will be displayed and then C1, C2 and C3. These variables are displayed with the help of this printf. So this way I have implemented the complete logic in front of you. Now I am executing this code. It is asking for 10 numbers. So I am entering different numbers. Some are positive, some are negative and some are zero. So you can see the output. Positive are four, negative are three and zero are three. So if you look at the input, so here one, six, eight and five, four positive numbers are available, zero is available three times and negative elements minus five, minus seven, minus seven, these are available three times. So the output is correct. Program is working properly. It is properly counting how many positive negative and zero elements are available in array and I have passed array into function with the help of pointer. So this way I have implemented the logic in front of you. I hope you have understood it well.

Live from the Moscone Convention Center in San Francisco, California, it's The Cube at Oracle OpenWorld 2014. Brought to you by headline sponsor QLogic with support from HGST. violin memory and MarkLogic. Now, here is your host, Dave Vellante. Hi buddy, we're back, this is The Cube and we're here live at Oracle OpenWorld. Live in the QLogic booth, this is our fifth year at OpenWorld. Thank you to QLogic and our other sponsors. QLogic gives us about two thirds of its booth to run this production here. It's been a fantastic partnership with QLogic over the last several years. David Floyer is here, he's the CTO of Wikibon. He is an expert in a lot of things, IT, data center, certainly the server markets. We forced him many years ago to start looking at other infrastructure like storage. Knows a lot about database. We're in the heart of the database land. David, welcome to The Cube. Always a pleasure to have you on. Thanks very much, Dave. So, you know, the big news Sunday in the infrastructure side of the world, so much to talk about, but let's just get right to it. FS1, Oracle on its last conference call, SAFRACAT said that San and Larry Ellison, echo this, San was down, but we got some new announcements coming up that's going to potentially address that. That was the FS1, which was the sort of original pillar data axiom, redone, now called the FS1. We confirmed with Mike Workman it is actually a new operating system. It's a Linux on Oracle OS. Six full bit operating system. Using the features of pillar data, which were three par like, friends at three par cringing right now, going, oh no way, but similar in that, that was born in that virtualization era, focused on simplifying, focused on quality of service, some of those features they brought along, but I joked with Mike Workman, hey, you look good having been tied up in an R&D lab for the last two years, but that's essentially what happened. Larry Ellison bought the company and said, okay, here's a bunch of cash, let's do the roadmap.  And I'm sure it was challenging given what the product ultimately became. I called it the chameleon. So, give us your breakdown, bumper sticker, summarized, FS1, how should we think about it? So, FS1 is a good product. They really brought the best of pillar and the things that I really like about from the pillar are the quality of service and the tiering and they put that together and called it QOS Plus. And it is, they have very fine grain, breaking down of the elements that they can move around they have the four tiers and they have two flash tiers which is the first time or a compelling had a sort of two tier flash, but two flash tiers and two disk tiers. So, performance flash, capacity flash, performance disk and capacity disk. And they manage this quality of service extremely well. What they can do is take each IO and then give it a priority. So, and they will then bump, instead of just taking them one at a time, they will bump the IO's from the higher workloads up and give them a better service. So, very nice design from a utilization point of view, very nice design from a performance point of view, SLA point of view. And they've thrown in a few other things as well which are very nice. They've got automated quality, so automated provisioning. So, they've predefined how you should set up Oracle databases and Oracle applications and even some non-Oracle ones like Microsoft Exchange. And they've done all this work and they can automate this, a single click to automate it. So, they've done a really good job of making it work with Oracle, work with Oracle software. It's a good fit with Oracle software. It's done a very, very good job of bringing it out. I think in that timescale, it's been a pretty good time.  Right.  Yes. I noticed that on the, I'm looking at one of the boxes here. So, we had EMC on yesterday and they said it's a hybrid array, called it a hybrid. Mike Workman said, no, no, it's not a hybrid. I don't know, maybe not to get academic into definitions, but is it, in your view, a hybrid array? Well, it is a half flash and half disk and it does combine the two pretty well. But you can use it as a flash only. However, if you're going to use it as a flash only, you would want to have some of the features that the flash only people have put a lot of effort into. So for example, if you're going to have it as a general purpose flash only device, as opposed to an Oracle flash only device, you would want compression, you would want deduplication to be on those boxes because that's going to cut your price down by a good factor of four or five. So, if you call it a flash only, it's not yet in the marketplace, but for the Oracle marketplace, where you're using, for example, the hybrid columnar compression, that will then work very well with the flash side of it and you'll get very good results. So, let me make sure I understand this. So you said it's part flash, part spinning disk, but I think of a hybrid array as sort of an array that puts some things on flash, moves them to spinning disk. It's not of that ilk. So, okay, but if I am allocating, do I have to manually allocate a volume to flash? That's how it works. That's exactly the same, yes. And it's tiers. Well, I guess if you're... It's exactly the same as the tiered system from Vmax, if you like, except that there you, well, it's very similar. You have the multiple tiers. They have four specific tiers and it'll take it up and promote it to the tier. Okay, so it's got an automated tiering capability. Absolutely, yes. So why isn't it a hybrid? Well, because the hybrid is where usually, for example, if you talk about Tintry or some of the other ones, it comes straight into the flash and then goes down from there, okay? So it's a flash first? It's a flash first. It's a flash first. And this one. Here you have a volume and it'll decide whether it puts it on the flash first or on the lowest volume. Although not all hybrids are flash first. I mean... Well, yes, but most of them have that propensity. But if, for example, it has a very nice way of breaking up the database and the redo log, you put it in a different place and use different technology. Because it's sequential workload, exactly. You wouldn't want to put that necessarily in flash. Yes. And so it's very smart about how it does things. So it's a more traditional tiering array, but the performance of the flash components of it are very good indeed. So it really is purpose built for Oracle environments. Yeah. Okay, so that's good. So let's take a look at Oracle storage today versus say, when did Oracle acquire Sun 2010? You want to say? Was that right? And they acquired... They acquired... Or was it... Pillar in 2011, yeah. Yeah, okay, so at the time, Sun storage was like, eh, you know, I used to talk to McNeely all the time, you got to get your act together in storage. It's like, well, I have a store or company.  You worked at IBM, you know, the challenges. But really the lineup was pretty mediocre. Now with the investments that Oracle has made, first in the NAS side with the ZFS appliance, I'm bad with names, Z-E-S-3-2 or something. I think that's what they're called. That is a flash first array. Yep. Good design, some really strong use cases for backup, particularly... Good bandwidth. Very high bandwidth. Analytics. Yeah. But the big gap was on the block side. That's what FS1 fills. So I have said earlier on theCUBE, a lot of customers that I talk to, you ask them what their storage strategy is and they say, EMC for block? NetApp for file. That's the strategy. It's like you got FS1 for block and ZFS for file. That's exactly right. Is that kind of the strategy that Oracle customers are going to take? Absolutely. There is a capability within this block of doing file as well. But that is not their focus and it shouldn't be their focus. They've got two good lines. They're sharing a lot of the technology, the disk drives, et cetera, and the disk enclosures. They're sharing that between the two of them. But there's two separate products, both of which do different jobs for Oracle applications. So Matt, can we call up that slide that we've been showing intermittently today? So this is David, just so you can see. Yeah, I remember that slide. Larry brought it up Sunday night and Mike Workman brought it again up yesterday at his discussion at launch. We've got the Extreme I.O. on the left side, the Oracle on the right side. These are Oracle benchmarks. They're renowned for this, basically saying we're 10 times faster, it's five times better, it's half the price, and that's not all. So Mike Workman was on here and Stu and I were trying to get it word and edgewise over his enthusiasm for this because he's obviously very excited. It's like giving birth. It's a good product. It's a great product. I said, floor is coming on later. That's nice that you say it's half the price. So I want to get your analysis on, I mean, everybody takes this stuff with a grain of salt. Although, I bet you there's a lot of DBAs in the audience that are nodding their head and going, okay. So what's the, I don't know if you've had time to peel this back, understand what the workload is underneath. I don't know if precisely what work they're doing, but first of all, there are two types of flash in the box. There's a capacity flash and there's the performance flash. So if you're going for price, if you're going for price, you're going to go for the capacity flash. And if by chance the workload was an HCC type workload, which is mainly read, that would be a very good use of the capacity flash on that particular box. So horses for courses, that would be a very good fit indeed. That would bring the price down very significantly. Okay, but let's dig in. Is this sort of a marketing chart? Is it still up there? I can see it. So it starts with capacity. There's a two node building block. So you've got capacity, read, IOPS, write IOPS, read, write, 50, 50, read, write, 50, 50, all IOPS, and then gigabytes per second. So bandwidth, writes, and reads.  Mike Workham says 500 milliseconds. Microseconds, sorry, latency. Yeah, sounds very reasonable. I'm not sure why they didn't show any latency figures. No, again, if it happens to be that workload, then you'll have very big blocks, and you'll be doing them as big blocks and the IO time will be a lot longer. So these are 32K blocks sizes. Blocks, which are the normal database blocks size. Although he pointed out that redo logs, for example, will be bigger block sizes. Much bigger blocks. And I suspect for this one, it'll be much bigger blocks as well. I'm going to put words on you both. You're saying this is rigged in favor of the workload. You know, they're a good marketing side, and it'll be truthful that at this particular moment, using this particular workload and this particular features of their product. But if this, if this, and this, and this, and this, if this, then we smoke on. Yeah, we smoke on. And it's always horses for courses. So okay, so knowing what you know about the FS1, knowing what you know about the Extreme IO, what are the horses for courses? Talk to customers. Well, so if you're going to take a online application, a LTP type application, in that sort of area, deduplication doesn't give you much. So it's going to be very good. Compression is actually the better of the two. So both neither of them at the moment, the Extreme IO or the I'll have compression from the point of view of the piece of the workload you want to do for your analytic stuff that will have compression, that will go very fast.  Let's back up. You got Oracle FS1, no compression, but they use Oracle Hybrid Column compression. For some of the workload types. By the way, less than half the price, I'm presuming they Oracle had compression on. If you have the right application, you can get 10 to one. Do you know what was assumed for compression in these? No, I don't. But I would suspect, I strongly suspect. You strongly suspect Oracle had compression on and Extreme IO had it off and because it's not shipping yet. If you have compression on, then your bandwidth goes up and your throughput goes up and your cost goes down. So what can people expect? I know there's no typical, but what can people expect on average for compression rates? Compression rates for 3G1, 3G1, for an OLTP type. Yeah, okay, and whether it's hybrid columnar or done in the array, you're going to have similar type of? Well, the hybrid columnar is much bigger than that because it can only be done on analytics and workloads like that. Ah, so not OLTP. So OLTP is row-based columnar. Yeah, so what's the Oracle strategy for compression in an OLTP environment? Well, there you use much smaller blocks. Your compression rate goes down. What am I, what's my? You use two to one to three to one. So how are they doing that? Is that in the database still or? No, oh, well, no. That would, I mean, I don't know how they're going to do, they haven't got it for row. Okay, so that would be an advantage for a product that has compression? Has compression, like Pure, for example. And probably Extreme IO is coming soon. Isn't everybody going to have this? Absolutely. It's going to be like table stakes, right? You wrote a piece on the other day on permabits appliance, data reduction appliance. I mean, so anybody really wants it, can go apply it. In my opinion, Oracle should put a permabit type solution in front of it, if they don't want to do it themselves. It's a very good solution, and for some workloads, it'll smoke other things, yeah. Okay, so you need more time to peel back. Exactly what's going on. But my experience is it's a good product. It fits Oracle extremely well. It's a nice fit in terms of, and the ability to have multiple tiers for Flash is excellent. Okay, but now, so I'm an IT practitioner, I'm a guy in the Wikibon community.  I saw I was at Oracle Open World at Trash and EMC. When should I use each? When should I consider FS1? When should I consider Extreme IO? So FS1 is only high performance Flash, obviously. So. FS1? Sorry, sorry. Extreme IO, yes. So if you've got certain workloads where you need the lowest latency possible OLTP, then probably the Extreme IO is going to do a better job in that one area. It's not going to be a huge difference between the two, but where latency is critical, then Extreme IO is probably going to do very well. If you've got a lot of different workloads and you're spending a lot of time setting them up, tearing them down, then the automation that you get in the FS1 is excellent. It really is. I mean, one thing. It's particularly within the red stack. Absolutely. Now, what about things like snapshots? You mentioned that. Snapshots, they have a set of snapshot capabilities. Well, Extreme IO have very good snapshots. They have the very space-efficient snapshots and one of the things that they're emphasizing is the ability to share the same Flash data over multiple applications. So you can share the OLTP with the analytic, with other things. So that's an area where their type of snapshot does better. Oracle, I'm sure, are going to have the same type of technique. You have to with Flash, but it's more of a cloning type. Do you know if it's in there today or you don't know? It's more of a cloning type, the... So it's not as space-efficient today? It's not as space-efficient. Okay. So in that area, but again, the two are going to collide. They're going to have very similar features. So you didn't mention sort of what you typically talk about with Oracle versus EMC or others like NetApp, the horizontal support for applications across the portfolio versus the narrow vertical. It sounds like Oracle FS1 is tuned for the narrow vertical red stack, but Workman said on theCUBE today, oh, we support VMware. We support Microsoft, Type-RV, we support other environments. That's strategically, we're going after that. So... In order to support those, you're going to have need, deduplication, and compression. Outside of the database. Outside of the database. So what do you make of? Take the hybrid columnar compression, for example. What do you make of the fact that Oracle basically locks out its competitors from taking advantage of hybrid columnar compression? Before Oracle owned Sun, of course it never would have done that because it would have wanted all the array companies to have hybrid columnar compression and take advantage of its software. Now that it owned Sun, it plays that card. You think that's a good strategy or is it dangerous? I think it's a dumb strategy. Why? Because they make far more money from the database. Then they do from the storage. And pushing the database and getting them into the data warehouse and analytics stuff, that's under real pressure from a whole lot of other players. So why not have it working on all storage and improve the productivity? People are not using that. That would be a benefit to customers. Oracle is always talking about how Larry said, ah, we care about our customers, we care about our customers. If you really cared about your customers more than gaining storage market share, wouldn't you open up hybrid columnar compression to everybody? Every day of the week, yeah. So I mean, it's clear. Oracle wants to gain share and storage. Okay, but eventually there could be pressure. That sort of forces the other storage vendors toward Microsoft's camp. Microsoft said, hey, we'll let you take advantage of our bell and whistle, whatever it is. So to the extent that the Microsoft database becomes more competitive from an ecosystem standpoint. Oracle database is still a damper database. Okay, then if Oracle still got that much of a lead over Microsoft. In the high end. Okay, so DB2 is still narrowly focused on IBM customers. Then why not use it as a lever to gain storage market share? DB2 in this very area of hybrid columnar compression is actually doing extremely well. They've got a really good announcement with DB2 for data warehousing application. So. The player. Yeah. No doubt. Okay, so that's good. We covered a lot of ground there. What about NetApp?  No, no, no EMC booth at the show. They decided not to invest this year. Maybe they'll be back next year. EMC has put a big effort into Oracle in the last three years. Probably decided to take a little breather, save some cash. Who knows? But NetApp's got a big presence here. What do you see from NetApp these days? Well, NetApp has, as you said earlier on, NetApp and the file, they are very, very deeply entrenched. And a lot of backup is done on NetApp boxes within a huge amount of time. And Oracle's going after NetApp. You know, we had an Oracle executive on at VMware, VMworld, and Oracle. Wants to share. Used to be one of NetApp's biggest customers. NetApp was a reference customer. NetApp talked about them a lot. Dave Hitz, for years, talked about Oracle. So they had an Oracle affinity. And the guest in the queue said that Oracle IT swept the shop of NetApp, brought in the ZFS array. Exactly. Whichever one it was. And he gave, you know, all kinds of sort of metrics on how much money they saved. He said, now, of course, you got to be, again, those metrics are yesterday's NetApp with our today. But still. It's the key for backup. But it's right. And so NetApp lost a big account. And it looks like Oracle for the NAS stuff is going hard after NetApp. It's one of the areas that's growing, according to SAFRA cats in the conference calls. Not much within hardware was growing recently, but that is super cluster, I think, is. Obviously engineered systems. And we'll see about FS1. But where is NetApp these days?  On the database side, which is the interesting one. Yeah, so yeah, let's talk, actually, let's talk NetApp specific within Oracle. And then generally with their NetApp. Well, on the Oracle, we did some research recently on the leadership, Oracle leadership. And we asked people with Oracle, heavy Oracle users, where Oracle was an important component. We asked them to rate who their best supplier was and a storage supplier in infrastructure. And on the storage side, EMC got a very high percentage and Oracle was came up very strongly as well. Really? Very strong, both of them. 42% for EMC, 16% for Oracle. NetApp were way down at 5%. So that shows you for the high end Oracle, NetApp are not really playing. Now, in the lower end, of course, they have a very good story. But in the high end, they're just not playing at all. Similarly, when you're looking at the server, what they picked out as the best server, Cisco has done extremely well. Whereas before you'd accept IBM to be up there in HP, now it's Cisco who's competing. But when you looked at their choice of VCE versus, for example, the NetApp combination with Cisco, it was a eight to one difference between the two. So again, in the high end, they're having a challenge. It's in the lower end. It's in the NAS style that they're doing extremely well. It's interesting, I'm looking at this chart. I just put it out on CrowdChat. CrowdChat.net slash OOW14 is the hashtag. This chart about the single most important factor for Oracle infrastructure leadership, reliability.  This is for Oracle intense environments. I mean, everything else pales in compare availability, high end performance, virtualization. Same survey that we did the other questions on. Yeah, you googled it and it came up here, but reliability for infrastructure, that's interesting. For Oracle, that's it. I mean, that's why they sell the rack. It's so reliable. It's software reliability that is most important for those guys. And that's another reason why the FS1 works so well because it works well with rack and it works well with all of the software. It doesn't have to do the sort of work that EMC does. It avoids it. So you have this other chart in here on MindShare. MindShare, that's the one. You see EMC is up at 42% and Oracle at 16. So what are you measuring here? What is this? This is the MindShare. You're single. So you said who leads in infrastructure? Yeah, who is the, you think does the best job in Oracle infrastructure and storage? And there's a MindShare one and the same in one of the papers that I did on the servers as well, which shows VCE coming up strongly. That's interesting. So it's interesting, a couple of things. One is that strategically, Oracle's going after NetApp. I guess it makes sense. They get the NAS product. They go after NetApp, but this FS1 clearly positioned to go after EMC. EMC's number one in Oracle. Number one, clearly. Yeah, storage company, by far. Yes, by far and away. Yes, and the more Oracle you have, the higher the availability and reliability, the more EMC you have. So what's your prediction? Well, right now EMC's number one in block and NetApp's probably number one in file. Yeah. Will Oracle be number one in either of those within the next five years? No? No, why not? Because there's so many other workloads out there other than Oracle, and they're growing faster than the main frame. Where they'll say, okay, we got this other main workloads, we'll put Oracle on there too. Yes, yes. So I mean, if you look at it as Oracle as being the main frame type of software, all the other software is coming around it and it's growing much faster. Okay, so that's one question. Next question is, will Oracle gain meaningful share in storage in the next five years? Yes, absolutely. In its space, I think by combining the software and the hardware together and making these stacks, the exodators and the FS1 will go into that same stack, it can share things more easily. Who gets hurt? EMC, NetApp or others? EMC. You think EMC will lose share within the Oracle? It will lose share in the Oracle space. Really? Very significant. I mean, it's not common. It's so believing. It's not common that EMC loses share in anything. They always seem like they get booted out of Dell, they go after Dell, they get knocked out of the OEM relationship with HP, they go dominate HP. They have a knack of doing that. You think it's more challenging to do that? What they're doing very well is the VC and they will use that as a general purpose way of getting into that area. But their proportion of, if you look at EMC at Cisco is a lot high percentage of that. I mean, we haven't even talked about these other things. We're out of time. Can I go a little bit longer? I'd like to, I got to get your take on Oracle Cloud. Oracle, Sunday night Larry Ellison, I don't know if you heard his talk, said basically, we had to be, we made a promise to our customers to be in all three layers of the cloud, infrastructure as a service, platform as a service and SAS. They're kind of defining platform as a service database, Java, other tools. Yep, very sensibly. That's a good proportion. So you look at that as pass. I mean, you see what like what cloud foundry is doing. You see what Salesforce is doing, Oracle's right there with them in your view. I mean, scale, web scale. It's providing a slightly different service, but they can provide the software and the software maintenance and the application, their applications. They can provide a soup to nuts single throat to choke and it's very complex. And that's something that nobody else can do. So they're working. So let's talk about the infrastructure as a service. The Oracle said that they will price consistent with Amazon and Google and Microsoft. They don't have the volumes that those guys have, not even close. I had heard that they have like 20 or 30,000 servers in their data center. I don't know how many Google has, but it's more than 20,000. It's got to be hundreds of thousands, right? Yeah, yeah. Maybe they're pushing a million, but so they... But look at where the cost is for Oracle. Look at the maintenance costs, for example, for them to maintain their own products and all those different platforms. If they can make this platform, the priority platform, they can cut down the amount that they spend on maintenance on their products by a factor of two or three. That is a huge saving to them. So I feel like, well, we know that one of the advantages that certainly Google and Amazon have is the homogeneity of their infrastructure. Probably to a large degree, getting to be the case at Microsoft. But here it's the homogeneity of software and the services around it that is going to be the killer price tag. Can IBM replicate that homogeneity? If it had Oracle it might, but it lost out to... If it had the Oracle database. It's the software here that is the... If you look at the cost of the infrastructure for an Oracle application, 70% of it is the database. Yeah, but IBM's not paying that cost for its own database, right? It's using... Right, they have to get them to convert to DB2. Well, but IBM has its own cloud and IBM... Sure. IBM can offer databases to service with DB2. But the price of the profitability of that database. Right, so you're saying when IBM offers Oracle as a service. It has to go to Oracle. The customer's paying Oracle the money. Or IBM is paying Oracle the money. So Microsoft's got the advantage there, obviously. Absolutely. People are using SQL Server. Okay, so... And it's got its ordinary software of exchange and all the things like that. In infrastructure for service, Oracle, from a volume standpoint, can't compete against Amazon and Google. But it owns its own hardware. It owns its own hardware. And it owns its own software. And it's the software costs that it can bring down. So it can... So economically, it should be able to compete. I believe so, yes. Because it's got software margin of economics. It owns the software Amazon. Customers are paying Oracle for Oracle. And Microsoft owns so much of the software as well. I don't know. We're going to reinvent in November. We're going to have to poke at this a little bit. I know Amazon's pretty forceful about getting software companies to list in the marketplace. Many do. I'm not sure Oracle does. I kind of doubt Oracle does. It's going to bring your own... They have to bring your own software. I think they designed to bring your own software for Oracle. They have an agreement to have a software, a sort of Oracle by the car. Oracle by the drink. By the drink, yes, within it. But Oracle, of course, can compete very effectively with that for a larger drink. For a pint of beer as opposed to a sip of beer, yeah. Yeah, I got to understand how that works. Because when you look at, again, the economics of this, the whole cloud thing, I think of VMware building out its own data centers for hybrid cloud service, VMware slash EMC. I look at the collection of 4,000 service providers, all smaller than Amazon, and saying, it's going to be tough to get 4,000 companies, all homogeneous on VMware, when many of them want to use Zen, OpenStack. Well, take an example, for example, for Oracle, the ODA. You know, the Oracle DataPlace appliance. They can reduce the price of their software by virtualizing the cores. And then they can say, you only need two, you can only have two. And on top of that, the ISV can reduce its prices in terms of being able to reduce the amount of effort required to do that. So the net effect of that is that it's the higher up the stack you go, the more you can cut of that price. What I've written about is SMEs, single-branded. Yeah, you've said there's more value the higher up the stack you go. So as long as you have the applications and the database, and you can get the ISVs to come in and use your service, you're going to be in a very good position. So there's a big chunk of market that they can go after and do extremely well.  My daughter just texted me. My daughter who's now at college, and she asked me how I was, so I was sending her pictures of the cube, live in the cube. So I don't get to talk to my daughter as much anymore, now that she's off in school. But so you think that they can effectively compete economically because they own the full stack. That's right, yes. And Microsoft can as well. That doesn't mean to say there won't be new players in this field for the software, because the ISVs can now go to much cheaper places like Amazon and develop new applications with new functionality. That's a whole different story. It's interesting, you know, I mean, year ago Workday was looking like awesome. Oracle's now sort of, she'd be marketing, positioning, and doing so very effectively now. I mean, we're a PeopleSoft user. We know what it's like, it's kind of clunky, not the best interface in the world. But it was great in the client server day, but so I don't doubt that there's some other advantages out there. We were at Infor a couple of weeks ago seeing some of their beautiful, elegant software. By vertical, by micro-vertical.  Yep, and if they take that strategy and go down into the micro-vertical with that amount of cash behind them. A lot of observers don't like this talk track, but it's hard to, it's very hard to predict like there's going to be some total innovators, dilemma, disruption, because of cloud to Oracle. They've jumped in just like Microsoft has. We're getting the high sign, and we're getting the hook here, David. All right, okay, good to talk to you. Great to be touching a couple of topics anyway. Thanks for your insights. And always a pleasure. Check out wikibond.org. David Floyd's got a bunch of research up there. Oracle leadership, stuff that he's done, the FS1 analysis. We've done tons of stuff on Extreme IO if you want to compare sort of independent perspective. And so again, thanks for coming on. No problem. All right, keep it right there, everybody. We will be right back after this word. This is theCUBE. We're live from Moscone. This is Oracle Open World. This is theCUBE.

What's going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overlord here We're gonna talk about why you cannot kill the character of Sydney Prescott just yet and also If Roger L. Jackson will be we'll be returning to reprise the role and give his vocal assistance in the role as ghostface Getting into things with sitting I know I've made several videos in the past where I've said That's seeing Sydney die wouldn't be something I have a problem with but the series in itself As of right now with the bulk of characters that it has left in Like left to carry the franchise going forward without Sydney That's the biggest reason why you cannot kill you or they this series cannot afford to kill her off right now There's like a lot of people who would like to see a screen movie led by somebody else And that still could very well happen after screen 5 we could have it could it could happen with screen 5 We don't know if Neff Campbell is gonna be leading the pack It could be another young young another young actors again. It could be Hayden Pantier coming back to reprise her role as Kirby Could be somebody else Taking up that role in the final girl role in our main lead character role for Sydney Prescott Who's being haunted by ghostface? They're not gonna play Sydney But they're gonna be in that Sydney role and Sydney's gonna be there as like a mentor type of deal That could be that could start as early as screen 5 but just to kill her off I think that the series cannot afford that because a lot of people are still gonna want to go to this Go to go see these films for Sydney Prescott the issue that goes back to the other things I've talked about in my previous videos the screen franchise has a horrible history when it comes to people to fall back on so like Case in point a lot of people's biggest issue with screen 3 was the fact that Sydney Prescott was barely featured in it We know that had a lot to do with Neff Campbell's schedule And a lot of other things she had going on at the time around when screen 3 screen 3 was coming out back in 2000 so We were left with a movie where we had David Arquette and Courtney Cox playing Dewey and Gale which are two characters that we know and love and growing accustomed to but Without that aspect of Randy I think that was that's what also hindered it because for a bit in scream 2 we do have flashes of us following Randy Gale Dewey and They're trying to find out who the killer is on campus and then of course we know that ended up and Randy unfortunately being killed off Again, I made statements about this if you would have saved Randy's death for scream screen 3 I feel like a lot Maybe not as many people would have had an issue with Neff Campbell being absent because while Neff Campbell's appearances in screen 3 were in short supply We still had Randy who could have been again He's the mouthpiece of the people watching these films so I feel like that would have made up for it, but we didn't have that we were left with Gale and Dewey bickering back and forth at each other about how things didn't work out after Dewey got injured in At the end of scream 2 and how they tried to work things out how Gale got a gig that she had to leave doing the hospital He's bitter over that and she's upset at him for Being in Hollywood working on the production of step 3 and we have like just a trio of cast members Not a trio of cast members But we have our supporting cast who make up the cast of step 3 in in the movie That we don't really get that much time to spend spend with to get to know them I feel like the only character audiences identified with and still talk about of course is the character of Roman since he was the killer and the character of Angelina Angelina Jolie who was who was started who was played by Parker Posey She was playing the role of Gale Weathers in the production of step 3 She was the most fleshed out one in the supporting cast outside of Sydney Dewey Gale We also had detective Kincaid, but Again, we didn't have too many people to get behind and that's why Killing off Sydney Prescott the series has not put itself in a good position to kill off Sydney Prescott because if you kill Sydney off Are you gonna go right back to what you did with scream 3? We're gonna have a movie where it's basically primarily led by Gale Dewey and some other new cast members that we meet I don't know in scream 6 if they decide to do that or Some girl that we just meet in scream 5 who was gonna bleed into scream 6 as our new final girl if Sydney dies in Scream 6 if Sydney dies in screen 5, there's just the fact that they have not built up the return so like how I how I look at it is And in the movie I know what you did last summer We have a group of characters and I know what you did less and I still know what you did last summer We have a group of characters What I wish the scream series would have done over the course of these four movies is build up this group Build up this group who is always in the mix of things. We just have Gale, Sydney and Dewey Three main characters who we all know and love But the supporting cast is always so underdeveloped in my opinion outside of a few standouts Like I made mention of we know we have Halle from scream 2 we have Randy who got killed in scream 2 Uh, we have The character of Kirby who we still do not know if she's gonna be in scream 5 or not We don't even know if Nev camp is gonna be back just yet But there's not too many supporting cast members who are joining our our three main characters. They're just either here to catch our hearts for the sake of this sequel and then they're Dismissed for the rest of the franchise which in my opinion is probably something that's gonna That's what's hurting the franchise and that's why so many people Have an issue with sydney prescott dying not not only because they can't see it happening It has more so to do the fact that In the in the back of your head You have to subconsciously be aware of the fact that you know They have no one else to fall back on if you kill off sydney They have no one else to fall back on because they haven't they haven't built up anyone The only character who most audiences would want to see the series fall back on Uh, for the most part not all of us is Kirby read We don't have anyone else to take up that mantle and give us a mixture of sydney mixed with randy Someone who can bond with sydney or not sydney but bond with gale and dewey after sydney's gone. We don't have a character like that Gale and dewey they already tried their luck when it came to leading a screen movie with screen three That didn't really go too well because they were intertwined with a lot of bickering and focusing on A lot of things that had to do with the supporting cast when those characters themselves weren't really fleshed out because every other scene Another one them another one of them was dying Uh, we we just don't have a group of we needed a group of characters I feel like at this point we need a group of characters somebody who can be there to Give fans more confidence in killing off a character like sydney press Scott The root of the reason why no one is willing to accept sydney dying is because No one no one Everyone is pretty much aware of the fact that when you kill off sydney Who are you now going to base your stories off of what are we going to do going for of course? we can meet her in screen five and She could lead us into screen six screen seven all that jazz But the simple fact of the matter is my whole point here is we should have been building up other characters to join these three since screen two Because they did it. They had randy returning screen two But they I feel like honestly the supporting cast is always so big But then they always managed to somehow kill every single one of them off or they just they just vanished into obscurity Because then we never see them again Uh, they don't return for other sequels. I know detective kincade Patrick Dempsey was supposed to be back for screen four, but he had scheduling issues. He couldn't do it because he was working on Transformers dark of the moon at the time There's just got to be something that can be done To make audiences and fans of this franchise more confident in killing off sydney because The root of it comes down to when you kill her off There is nobody that has been established as someone who can carry on without receiving any form of backlash Uh, like for instance In halloween resurrection Not even halloween resurrection. Let's go back to halloween four. We don't have jamie lee curtis But we do have daniel harris in the role of jamie. Lloyd. She's the daughter of dan she's the daughter of uh lory strode so She already has a connection to a character audiences are of course going to miss and she's not in screen four But at the same time daniel harris was such an amazing child star That she is now almost as the character jamie. Lloyd is almost as synonymous synonymous with the halloween franchise as her mother's role in in this in the franchise. Um by mother I'm talking about the role jamie lee curtis plays. She's not her actual mother So a lot of people identify when they talk about halloween. We always identify with jamie. Lloyd and lory strode as two of our standout final girls We could have something like that which scream Well, unfortunately, we don't because no real other character has been built up To a degree where they could pick up the mantle and be our new focus because the character of jamie. Lloyd was the focus for halloween four halloween five She had a brief cameo for halloween six because she did die at the beginning of that movie But like you get what i'm saying like there's no They need to find a character that audiences could become and become invested in fall in love with the only one that really Comes to mind right now is curbie reed if you can think of someone else who is a worthy candidate To pick up from the mantle of nev cambell And be that new sydney i'll i'll challenge you to name somebody down in the comment section below because i can't think of a single person Outside of curbie at the moment Um someone who the audience is already behind somebody who the audience is in clear favor of if they were to come back But getting on to roger l jackson people are claiming he's officially on board to come back This is all over twitter some fan accounts for the scream series are talking about it Nothing has come out of this man's mouth about it But i feel like that's a given because of the fact that he did the mtv season He did vh1 season 3 of the tv series So if you're doing that why not come back and do screen 5 i feel like if we don't have that It'll be very interesting to see who they have filling those shoes I feel like without roger l jackson on post notifications that you never missed a video in the description I have links on my social media accounts You can mess in the i'll have links on my social media accounts on my facebook twitter and instagram
