In today's video, you'll see the basics of overclocking. It's not going to make you a professional, but you'll be able to see what it's like and how to go about it. Getting to know all the aspects and becoming an expert overclocker takes a long time, but this video can help everyone who is new to overclocking and faces some difficulties in boosting their computer. Before you start, remember that all experiments of this kind are at your own peril and risk and you may end up losing your warranty and damaging the computer parts, so you should think twice before you start. And if you finally decided to go overclocking, make sure you have a reliable cooling system and change settings in small steps, keeping them eye open for any changes in the temperature and the system's stability. So let's begin with the processor. The base frequency for iXen 1600 is 3.2 GHz. In Turbo mode, the processor goes up to 3.6 GHz without any overclocking. This auto-overclocking function turns on automatically when more than two cores are loaded to the maximum. If this frequency is not enough, you'll have to try the so-called manual overclocking. Experiment with voltage values, install additional cooling equipment, try various modes of operation to gain more performance, and still have a stable build. Before you start overclocking, make sure your motherboard supports it. That is, check if this particular chipset is good for overclocking and if there are any radiators on the power elements. The first method to overclock your system is to use the utility AMD Ryzen Master. This way is good for inexperienced users. You don't have to enter the bias and make any changes there. You can find the link to this tool in the description under the video. Start the program, and you will see a warning saying that overclocking may damage your equipment, affect its operation, and result in other problems, including loss of product warranty. When you agree and click OK, the program's window opens to reveal panels for overclocking the processor and memory and the profile panel. The first step is for overview only, and you can't change anything there. There are four profiles to use with this tool, and you can select any of them. To begin with, bring the frequency up 100 or 200 MHz, in my case, to 3.8 or 4 GHz, and increase the voltage to 1.35 MHz. This should be enough. After that, run some stress tests to check the computer's stability. If during the test the system doesn't freeze, shows no errors or failures, and the computer doesn't restart all of a sudden, you can try bringing the voltage down a bit. Using the trial and error method, we managed to achieve stable operation of this build at the frequency of 4 GHz and the voltage of 1.26 V. When we brought the voltage down to 1.25, it made the computer freeze after 8 minutes of a stress test. When you make sure the system is stable after increasing the CPU frequency, you can try overclocking the memory. The RAM frequency is divided in two, and that's why we see the frequency of 1600 MHz. All timings are their default values. You can check them with a special tool, CPU-Z. In the memory tab, you can find all the detailed information. Now all you need to do is to change memory clock with timings and try different combinations to achieve maximal memory performance by bringing the frequency up or the timings down. That's all about overclocking the processor, save the profile and select Apply. Now you should run a stress test in AEDA64 or any other similar program. It's recommended to stress test your system for at least an hour to make sure the system is stable. If you didn't see any errors, failures or freezes within this hour, the overclocking attempt was successful. Here is the next overclocking method, this time with BIOS. In fact, it's a similar process when you have to increase the multiplier value and select the corresponding voltage. Go to BIOS and you can watch how to enter BIOS via a file in one of our videos, find the link in the description. Then go to MiIT tab. For your motherboard model, the name could be different – overclock settings or something like that. Use advanced frequency settings and in the line CPU clock ratio, move the multiplier values up by using the plus button. I recommend doing it in small steps of 100-200 MHz to find the value that allows your computer to operate without any issues in stress tests. If the computer is stable after you have increased the frequency, try bringing it up again in another small step. Then go back to the previous menu and open Advanced Voltage Settings. In the line CPU V-Core, change the voltage. I don't recommend you to go any further than 0.162, as it can damage the processor. My motherboard model supports automatic voltage function, but in your particular case, you may need to select the suitable voltage manual. This is why the process of overclocking takes so much time. You have to try many combinations. When you've found the proper values, stress test the system. With this motherboard, we can use the tab Advanced Memory Settings. You can select one of the available options in the line Extreme Memory Profile or change the frequency manually in the line System Memory Multiplier. To modify your timings, in the line Memory Timing mode, change the value from Auto to Manual to unlock this option. By changing the settings, run the stress test again, and if the computer fails to pass them, go back to Voltage Settings in the line DRAM Voltage or increase timings in Advanced Memory Settings. Use the trial and error method to gain best performance. In the end, the final goal should be to bring the memory clock to 3200 MHz. To avoid overheating the memory, it's safer to keep to default voltage values and try increasing the timings instead. Another important thing to mention is that you shouldn't overclock the processor and the memory at the same time. If your computer fails the stress test, you will never know the actual calibrate. At first, overclock the processor and have the system pass all tests successfully, and only then try overclocking the memory. Save current values, run stress test in benchmarks, play games, and if nothing goes wrong, then your overclocking has been successful. Look through general temperature settings or fan settings and enable emergency shutdown or high temperature warning at 90 degrees centigrade. It is especially important when you start overclocking your build. When this extreme temperature is reached, the PC will either shut down or give a sound signal so you can turn the computer off and save your CPU from overheating. Now that we are done with the processor and the memory, it's time to work on the graphics. You can quickly overclock it with MSI Afterburner. Find the corresponding link in the description. For starters, go to the settings. I recommend configuring them as shown on the screen. As you can see, voltage settings are locked. It is strongly recommended to keep the voltage at default values, otherwise you take a risk of overheating and burning the graphics chip. So skip the first slider and set power limit and time limit to maximal values. Now move the core clock slider a little bit – it's the graphics core frequency. At first, add 40 or 50 MHz and click Apply. After all these steps, the system should be tested for stability. You can use the same 3D mark to run a stress test. If everything is alright, the test was passed without any failures or artifacts on the screen, you can add another 40 or 50 MHz and repeat the test. When you reach the overclocking limit, when you no longer see any artifacts, take a 10 MHz step back from this limit for better stability. After all these steps, click Apply and if you want, also click Start Up to let the computer boot with overclocking settings. For memory overclocking, follow the same procedure as for the graphics core. Move the core clock slider to the maximal frequency you achieved in overclocking and then start boosting the memory clock. To do it, move the memory clock slider like you did it with the core clock for 40 or 50 MHz forward and then click Apply. Run a stress test and if everything is okay, move the slider forward for another 20 or 40 MHz and repeat the steps again. When you got the system to work properly with maximum possible values, the video card overclocking is over. Like the processor, the graphics card also has two core clocks – basic and boost. As soon as the GPU load grows to 50%, the frequency goes up to 90% of the maximal value and if the load is 80% and more, the frequency spikes to the peak value and remains there as long as the card is loaded that much. After all, let's test the overclocked build and see how it fares against the factory settings. In WinRaw, we gain an entire 7% boost and stop the general speed with 83.34kbps and after overclocking it grew to 90.47kbps. In the SYN bench test, the processor scored 1261 points after overclocking to 4 GHz. As you can see, it's 252 points up, that is, overclocking improved the CPU result by 25%. SYN rendering time in Corona benchmark has improved from 3 minutes 40 seconds to 2 minutes 57 seconds. The build passed a 3DMark test without any issues and with a frame rate stability of 98.8%. In comparison with the stock figure of 97.8%, that's a huge increase of 1%, and in fact it's not. In the Skydiver test, the overclocked build scored 30308 points, which is more than a thousand points more than the score at stock frequencies. In the Fire Strike test, the computer has 11,000 points, which is an increase of 109 points from the previous result that scored without overclocking. And as we move to game tests in full HD resolutions, with ultra-high in high settings, first starters would take watchdogs one of the CPU-intensive projects. As expected, with ultra-high settings, our build shows 50-55 fps compared to 40-45 fps in stock. The frame rate is good enough for comfortable gameplay, with the processor loaded to 50 or 60% at temperatures rising to 60 degrees centigrade, and the graphics card load is 99%. At high settings, the FPS improved to 60 or 70 and the processor is loaded by 80-85%. It means the CPU has some potential to work with even more powerful video cards. The next game in this test is Need for Speed payback. After overclocking, we got 90 or 95 fps at maximal settings. The processor load was 62-70%. At high settings, we were able to squeeze out 100 or 110 fps with the CPU load at 75%. As you can see, overclocking of the processor gave quite good results, but if you are overclocking it for gaming on a budget graphics card that will just bottleneck it anyway, it makes no sense to boost the CPU. Overclocking out of the box the processor is powerful enough. On the contrary, if you own a powerful video card and you want to get the most out of your build, overclocking the processor will come in handy. And that is all for now. I hope you liked this video.

Hello everyone. Welcome. Welcome to United States Army Garrison, Italy, home of the Vicenza and Darby military communities. I'm Major General Andrew Rowling, Commander of the U.S. Army Southern European Task Force, Africa, and the Senior Representative, Senior Responsible Officer for Army Forces located south of the Alps. This Garrison newcomers orientation is an important part of your onboarding experience. The entire team is committed to welcoming you to answer your questions and ensuring you and your family members get settled. You are joining a great community. Regardless of your assigned unit or the patch on your left shoulder, I consider all of us as one team. Vicenza is one of the most sought after assignments in the Army. The Italians are a wonderful host and we all benefit from a decades-long partnership and friendship between the United States Army and Italy. I might be a bit biased, having the good fortune of being assigned to Italy now three times, but I believe Vicenza is the best duty station in the U.S. Army. My family and I love it here, and I hope you will too. As you get in process, you'll be navigating the cultural and language differences inherent in a foreign country. Please remain patient during this process. It will take time, but our team is here to help. I know PCS moves are always stressful, not to mention moving overseas. Toss in COVID-19, and I know this has probably been a challenging time for you and your family. We're glad you made it. You may notice some differences between our COVID posture and that of the installations you're coming from. Our COVID response is aligned with that of our Italian hosts. Hopefully, that limits the confusion between the procedures on and off base. We've had a very successful pandemic response that has been widely recognized by the Department of Defense and the Department of the Army. Our success is thanks to the entire community, which now includes you, remaining vigilant and adhering to mitigation measurement. I meet regularly with the leadership teams from across the garrison, and we make adjustments to our mitigation efforts as necessary. So in addition to supporting our COVID-19 response, I'm going to ask you to do three more things. First, we all have responsibility to maintain our own personal readiness. We've seen COVID-19 degrade our operating environments, and it has also degraded the physical fitness level of some of our soldiers. I ask that everyone, soldiers and civilians, to have a fitness plan to maintain your health, your resilience, and your ability to do your job. Secondly, stay informed. We share updates via the chain of command and official information sources, such as the United States Army, garrison, Italy website, and Facebook pages. Please ask questions if there is something you do not understand. It is imperative that we all stay informed. And finally, while living here, I ask you to be good ambassadors for the United States and for the United States Army. We enjoy a very strong relationship with our Italian hosts, and I encourage you to make the most of this incredible opportunity to live and work in Europe. Please be respectful of our Italian hosts and ensure your actions strengthen our long-standing partnership. I hope you took this assignment because you think it's the best place to be in the United States Army. I know I certainly do. So on behalf of myself and the entire US Army, garrison, Italy community, welcome and thank you for joining the team. We are glad you're here and we look forward to your contributions. Finally, if you see me around base, I hope you'll stop and introduce yourself. We are all one team and I appreciate your time and attention. Thank you and welcome to Italy.


Okay, we all heard this news today. This is MXUX. This is just a trick-or-treat video here Tesla's market value hits 1 trillion after Hertz agrees to buy 100,000 model threes So we have Hertz here. We have Tesla here. We have Hertz buying a trillion Hertz buying a hundred thousand model threes. They want to go all EV by what is it? But what doesn't matter anyway, they want to go all EV by like 2030. So this is the first first shot Over the bow of the other car rental companies fleet. I might add fleet. These are fleet sales and Does Hertz rent pickup trucks in its fleet? Yes, it does Does everybody else rent pickup trucks in their fleets you haul penskey? Yes, they do anyway So this is a trillion dollar Market cap based on a hundred thousand sales of model threes big order Big market cap. Let's go over here F-150 lightning orders delayed until December blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. This is a delay in the start of production which we all expected from Ford because I no one thought that they were going to be able to Produce the production numbers. They thought they did Here's the here's the rub Let's recall the company increased sales production target from 40,000 to 80,000 a year in 2024 But in 2023 it might be less 55,000 while in 2022 it will probably be very limited Like 15,000 Okay, we can only guess that Ford will not be able to produce more than 20,000 f 150 lightning next year So if they're going to produce 20,000 they have a hundred hundred thousand a hundred fifty thousand orders for the highest models I don't know. Where's the fleet production there and the question is How much production Ken Lordstown motors ramp up? But as you can see we're looking at 20,000 Produced vehicles. They're not going to be able to fill a hundred thousand unit order for Tesla or I mean Hertz or anybody else Will Lordstown well, you know, they're going to ramp up. Let's see see what they can do Mike Schmidt said What do you say four cars and four cars a minute this year six cars a minute next year? so Anyway Now let's get into the tangled web. We weave here on this Whole thing Ford thought more of you would flock to its EV trucks and vans turns out you can lead businesses to electric 150 But you can't make them buy and this is from electric Jalopnik, I'm sorry First gear fleet EV adoption not going to weigh Ford hoped uh-oh Okay Ford's going all in on battery electric commercial vehicles between the F-150 lightning and the e-transit on their van on Paper these vehicles make sense for business. They're cheaper to run cheaper to fuel and come heavily subsidized Which is all true? Companies should be flocking to them. Well, at least in a perfect world where charging infrastructure is equally distributed Limited range is an issue and the batteries in these cars won't necessitate costly repair replacement in a decade And this is a story from router Reuters Ford Motor Company Sees a robust market for electric trucks and vans way 2030, but it's facing some early pushback from commercial customers A key audience now these are fleet customers Okay, the key audience for the automakers new F-150 lightning and e-transit These are both vehicles that Lord's time is also producing The lightning pickup and e-transit van are targeted at real people doing real work. I think they stole that from Lord's time didn't they the chief of Ford pro Okay, and this is the Fleet model of the lightning the Ford pro but some of those potential fleet pliers are taking a wait and see attitude Okay, now here's what they give for the rationale partially from a lack of experience with electric vehicles and Partially from a lack of clarity on government policy and regulations around EVs, which we can all understand and Of course depending on how that bill comes out Ford could come out with a very distinct advantage By the way Lord's time could possibly also vote in their union, but that would likely take more time But they give those two reasons Those are not insurmountable obstacles over the long term in the US We see a 70% of the full-size bus and van industry going with electric by 2030 That's 300 vehicles annually And we expect the third of the full-side pickup market to go a little electric that's more than 800,000 vehicles annually now I might add They're taking a wait and see attitude. One of the thing they didn't mention was the competitive the competing offer of a more suitable electric vehicle from Lord's time voters Maybe they don't want to get the Ford with F-150 lightning.  You're moving Do you think you're gonna pay attention to that scale? You're gonna load that truck up with as much crap as you can And you're gonna take it to wherever you're going and you're gonna try to get the truck back as soon as possible And I'm telling you the reason that scales there is to monitor the warranty They're gonna violate the warranty on the truck and that's the end of it Lord's town straight rear axle a solid rear axle leaf springs not the same problem a much better fleet vehicle I am taking the the position that that is what the wait and see attitude is and Government policy and regulation here's the thing about government policy and regulations everybody follows California California is mandating these private fleets go electric by X year They have to go all they're supposed to go all electric and the rest of the world follows, California's EV Regulations, so that's why everybody's that's why Lord's town motors is in Orange County That's why Tesla sells more EVs in California than anywhere else. Anyway So we got 800,000 potential market for electric fleet pickup trucks are saying here It's very easy for Ford to say it does 90 F-150 with the blue collar work in mind I I don't doubt that. Well, I don't know about that EVs and offer a number of benefits to businesses that doesn't change the reality that people's livelihoods depend on these vehicles and every commercial application is different Sure, and he he transit sounds great for last mile deliveries in the Northeast but how useful is the F-150 lightening going to be to a contractor in the Midwest who has to drive 60 miles to the next charging station and I would add that, you know, we're gonna get to full specs on the on the Lord's town endurance Providing there is power at the worksite. I do believe they'll be able to charge reasonably Via 110 During an eight-hour workday to increase the range of the F-1s of the Lord's town endurance Which is something you cannot do with the Ford F-150 because It's an energy hog. So I think this is another selling point for the Endurance One day Ford will be right about all this and it's too early to bet on on on workhorse Workhorse EVs Will pay off But it's foolish to think it's going to undo decades of routines and Expectations overnight business will adopt EVs when they feel confident doing so So as I said Workhorse, you know, of course is a is another brand. I don't think that's what the form they're using it in here in any case You know, they're making a lot of calls here on why nobody's doing it They aren't mentioning the comp competing fleet truck, which is Lord's town. Of course, why would they and I actually think that This the F-150 Really is a lifestyle vehicle. It is not a fleet pickup and again, we said in the last Slide here, what was there? They're gonna make like 15,000 vehicles next year. Those are not going to fleets. Those are going to the hundred thousand dollar Customers, so I don't think Lord's town is gonna have any competition from Ford in my opinion It doesn't look like the fleets are even Shining a light on Ford as a potential right now. Looks like they've been shut down No play for mr. Gray. Now. Here's a couple interesting factors that turn us into a trick-or-treat Sears of Hertz jump after appointment of X Ford CEO Mark Fields. Okay, and X Ford CEO Is right now?  Does he hate Ford because they fired him Maybe does he want to get back at the Ford family? Maybe we don't know but I thought that was interesting They're saying the fleet sales are flagging. They're not making the fleet sales connections They wanted to an ex CEO of Ford is the Hertz CEO Now here's a very interesting factor too What's on first taps Hertz board member to write the ship? this is August 27 and You know, I'm I'm pretty sure he's still he may have resigned from Hertz board I'm not certain you guys can check the status of that Um Let's see here Novaji too many after a previous executive found resigned Novaji auto background blah blah blah blah Recently wrapped up a seven-year of member of Hertz board of directors. Okay, so he recently wrapped up a senior staff We helped to see the cars. So anyway, the point is Lordstown CEO is an ex Hertz board member. Okay, who probably has everybody on speed dial there All right The present CEO of Hertz is an ex CEO of Ford and they could have very easily bought Mustangs, of course, they wouldn't get a potential tax credit But you know, they're buying the Teslas Damned the torpedoes on the on the tax credits But I think they're they announced this today And I do believe that this is not going to go into effect and for a number of years blah blah blah blah blah Anyway, this is this is an announcement. It's it's gonna ramp up gradually, but again, they chose Tesla and and not for Anyway, I thought this is all very interesting how this will work out with Lord sound motors remains to be seen. It's kind of a trick-or-treat. Is it gonna be a trick?  Are they holding off on order and force because they want to try out the Lord's son endurance? Are they going to Novaji whispering in their ears the Ford ex CEO? Want to get back at the Ford family. We don't know is the endurance of better fleet truck absolutely So anyway guys, I thought this was all very exciting how this all all link together. I hope you liked the video Please like and subscribe and I'm trying a new system here. I don't know how this is gonna work. Let's see Hi guys, this is mx2x. I hope you liked the video Trying out a new system cut it a little short. I want you to please like comment and Subscribe, you know The riders we got to stick together. There ain't too many of us. I'm this isn't getting monetized or anything So I need your support. Good luck in the market. I hope you like the vid


Each year, the Ford School graduating students are asked to elect people to play key roles in commencement. One faculty member is chosen to speak to the class, and both sets of graduating classes choose a representative student speaker. As the faculty speaker, the classes of 2016 elected Yazir Henry. Yazir was born and raised in Cape Town, South Africa. He first came to the Ford School in 2007 as our Towsley Foundation policymaker in residence. Yazir's intellectual work focuses on the relationship of political structure and violence to civic, indigenous, and human rights. Since 2008, he has taught courses at the Ford School on professional and political ethics, on social movements and democratic processes in the global south, and on transitional justice following political conflict. Yazir has written and lectured widely on issues related to peacemaking, political memory and trauma, and post-conflict reintegration. Many of our graduates have already spent long hours with Yazir during his office hours, and despite, or more likely because of that, they chose him to deliver the faculty address. And I'm delighted to welcome him to the podium now to speak on behalf of the faculty. Yazir? Good afternoon all. Bonjour. Graduates, no. Policy graduates, honored family, friends, loved ones, colleagues, and guests. I've chosen not to change my speech after the last two, so I'm going to power through it and trust myself. Public policy graduates, today you lose the right to ask the question. What is the meaning of public policy? If you have not used several years that you've been here to make sense of its complex meaning, then I'm going to help you, and I'm going to be very clear, something I don't often do in my office hours. It means all and everything. Look at that, that was when you were supposed to have. Come on. There is not a single thread of cotton here in this auditorium today untouched by policy. There is not a grain of sand here at the University of Michigan untouched by it. There is not a single brick here that is not imbued with our meaning. Today I chose to greet you in English and in Anishinaabe Mohan, if I pronounce that correctly, a language without which an arbor could not be the University of Michigan, or the slogan glow blue could not have been. From a time when Washington was translated into the English Great River or the distant waters to when it became just the county, a street that I travel home to in English. I greet you in English and in Anishinaabe Mohan because for me it is important to know where it is I live, where it is I have chosen to make my home, to spend my time and appreciate the care with which I have been appreciated and welcomed by my colleagues and by you, the student body, Michigan has been incredibly good to me. It is a special privilege to live and work here with so many people that care about the world, such a diverse political environment. It has been a privilege and an honor to walk alongside you. For these reasons I accepted the responsibility you gave me to mark this day in your lives on behalf of the Ford School staff and faculty. Those here and those who clean the building at night and may not be here. There are days when I wonder whether what I do professionally is enough given the turmoil in the world, but today is not one of those. I have marked this moment before and it is by far the happiest moment in the academic and the institutional calendar for me. To see you all collectively smiling with your family and your loved ones, those who have stood beside you and those who walk alongside you peaceably, I think days like these should be up there with the seven wonders of the world and I know my face is serious so you don't have to smile, but it was meant to be funny. I have learned to derive and to develop faith in you so that my life develops meaning intellectually. It is up to you to remind yourselves, it is up to you to remember that you are part of a greater world, a greater community, a greater institution, but never forget that you are always and also required to walk alone and in order to do so effectively you will be required to manage the social, the political, the emotional dissonance that is also a part of our world, that is also a part of me, that is also a part of you. Today we the dissonant part of this institutional fabric can be as one without the immediate pains of office hours, the tensions and the minor traumas associated with the individual sacrifices that go into our intellectual labour and application during our time year, during your time year, without the rigours, the complex regimes of training and preparation without the force of having to submit to the multiple hours of reading, thinking and writing of having to meet and engage each other and other intellects, other hearts, other souls, other spirits, in dialogue, dialogue is an act, not just words. Your convocation today further marks your professional entry into the intellectual and the institutional, political and societal elite of this world. Do not fear the notion, it is fitting to celebrate you today. Congratulations, well done. This is not my conclusion. You are the intellectual resources of our world, I repeat and I wish to reiterate.  Meet it where it is at, not where it may be tomorrow or where it was yesterday. Every day, yes, every day, this is not the only, this is not only the nature of our mortality as human beings, it is the time of life and of living and of being in the world. We have a short time here, 100 years if you are lucky. Now this figure is both statistically and factually wrong. But today I'm going to remain with a metaphor of spending only a short time in this world. If you are as blessed as I am to breathe every day without the concern, without the worry of having to care about where my next meal is going to come from. Literally, figuratively, metaphorically, how will you be remembered? Graduates, nay, policy, graduates. The last time I studied, I was funny. I chose not to be so funny today. Present is precious. After celebrating the splendor of this day, do the work so that when you go home every day you can look at that mirror at midnight and smile with yourself and say, I have done enough today. I have had to learn to become humble. It was a very, very arrogant young man. It takes practice. A mentor of mine said to me, Yazir, put this note on your mirror until you understand its meaning. A year later I looked at this note and it read, thank you very much Yazir. I don't need your help today, God. If only I had realized that I was not Luke Skywalker and he was not Yoda sooner. But I continue to learn to be humble. And I wish the same for you. I have seen many things. I saw apartheid defeated in South Africa. I saw Southern Africa free itself from colonization. I saw the Berlin Wall fall. I saw America elect its first African American president. And when I was growing up, I knew the society that I lived in was unequal, theoretically. I also knew that it was not lawful nor was it moral. But I had no choice but to understand that it was reality. It was actuality. In practice, it is in part responsibility. Yours, mine, has leaders, as thinkers, as policy professionals trained to influence and to make policy in this world, in our world, in this world and the places that you will find yourselves in over the next period. It is how collective and democratic ideal that the dialogue that needs to be heard should not be silenced or shut up. Now after you have taken pause to celebrate, to laugh, to cry even with your loved ones. As you have joined your year, it is my opinion that is your responsibility as global citizens who care about the world, the one we share collectively to build the systems, the structures that make life prosper, that make life more peaceable, not just for a few, but for us all. All lives matter. All lives matter equally. It is the law. It is constitutional. It is one of humanity's most recent values and ideals written into the very definition of what it means to be human. Equally, all our lives matter equally.  It is an ideal. It is your responsibility to hold that value and make it practicable. That is your responsibility. That is my responsibility. That is the responsibility of us all who consider ourselves democratic citizens. In conclusion, our education comes with this responsibility to a larger social reckoning beyond and not opposed to our personal happiness and well-being. Carry the happiness you feel today as a blessing and not as a burden just as I carry my skin as privileged, as blessing and not as burden. Celebrate the excitement you feel today fully and do not fear tomorrow until tomorrow. Derive from your degrees the freedom to contribute to our greater well-being. Do not be paralysed by fear. Do not be paralysed by the difficulties that weigh. Learn from your mistakes and remember as it has been said before, affirmation comes after success. Do it with practice. Claim no easy victories. And do not easily be discouraged. Believe, have faith in the human beings that sit beside you, that walk with you today through the streets of Ann Arbor, and be beautiful. And I have come to learn, and I know my colleagues feel the same way, that that is what you are. And you can be that if you so choose. Love, love, be proud, and hold each other's relationship with joy. Thank you. Miigwech.


Okay, we're back live. This is Dave Vellante and I'm with Wikibon.org and this is SiliconANGLE.tv's coverage of the Dell Storage Forum. This is our second year at the Dell Storage Forum and we'd like to bring you the top executives. We had Darren Thomas earlier. We have a number of customers on. The University of Wisconsin was on. And we also love to bring in the analyst community to bring an independent perspective on what we're hearing at the shows. And we're here with George Crump who is the founder of Storage Switzerland. Storage Switzerland is a consultancy. George is an analyst, a blogger, a very prolific writer. George, welcome to theCUBE. Hey, thanks for having me, Dave. Appreciate it. It was really a pleasure. I appreciate you taking the time here. We're at the Dell Storage Forum. Now were you at the Orlando event last year? Yeah, sure was. You were, okay, so the second year, I feel like it's a step up from last year. I think they're moving in the right direction. Yeah, absolutely, I think so. I think the message that I'm slowly getting from Dell is, hey, we're really serious about storage. Last year was sort of, okay, yeah, you guys are maybe paying attention to storage, starting to get it now. They're serious, right? Yeah, I agree. Dell is clearly relevant in storage. There's no question about it. And of course, they're competing with a lot of larger companies. We're going to talk about that. You have a good line of sight on what's happening in the competitive world. But the transformation to Dell has been very interesting to watch. I mean, Dell basically was a reseller of other people's technologies. We all know that Scott McNeely in his unique way one time said to me, Dell's idea of innovation is the new form of W on the keyboard. Tell Michael Dell I said that. He would always bust balls around that. But Dell is really geared up to bring its own IP. And of course, the message they're giving to us and the customers is, it's customers first that we're doing it because that old legacy stuff, euphemism for Clarion, is outdated and hard to use. That's why we went out and bought these new assets. But the reality is, there's another side to that coin which is the impact that it has on Dell's business. And Michael Dell is architecting the transformation of Dell. It's a higher margin business, obviously, in storage. And Dell could be dangerous, don't you think? I mean, they're used to living in PC margins and now they're playing in storage. It's like heaven for them. Well, I think there's two things. I think there's clearly that. And I think also because they've been so focused on that mid-market and they really pay attention to simplification and making things easy. Well, last time I checked enterprises don't mind easy stuff either, right? And so that, I think, is going to play well in the enterprise, right? What we see a lot of times is enterprise guys buying mid-market solutions, specifically because it's more cost effective or easier to use or whatever the case may be. A lot of companies, I feel like we're forced into easy. Making things easier. And some of them arguably bolted on easy. Dell had the advantage, I guess, of starting with a blank sheet of paper and it could acquire companies like Equalogic and Compellent whose raison d'etre was to simplify IT. Right, I mean, both those guys, right? Their whole go-to-market was easy, easy, easy, right? I mean, I was convinced when the, I remember when the Equalogic guys first started going to market and the four sales guys would walk around the Equalogic box and plug it in at customer sites. I mean, and it worked. And of course, back then, if you could plug in a saner and it actually worked, that was a sale, right? It's harder to make easy happen when you got, obviously, a big legacy in Stallbase but what a lot of companies have done is you take, for example, IBM, they went out and bought XIV. Right. HP buys 3-par, EMC buys Isilon. I guess that's not, wasn't so much of an easy play but for instance, they develop a VNXE. So they just create a whole new product line. So it seems to me that you got four or five companies that are really viable in this space. Dell's obviously one of them but what do you make of the storage landscape these days? I think that's a good way to really sum it up. I think what we see is what I like to look at is how people are doing with acquisitions because for these bigger companies, their growth is going to always come around or a lot of it's going to come from acquisitions, right? And Dell, and to a large extent, EMC, both really execute well on buying two types of companies. Dell buys pretty mature companies and in that area, you just kind of don't want to break it, you just want to put it into your existing engine and accelerate growth and maybe later on do some integration work, things like that. Compellent, you're saying would be an example of that. Yeah, compelling, ecologic, clearly, right? And then I think there's the guys that I call you have to incubate some and that takes patience and interestingly, I think we've really seen that with Dell, right? With the Exynet technology and the Ocarina technology. I mean, I'm sure I think I would throw more into the more mature area but those are good acquisitions that I think they've made. Yeah, and I guess you're right. I mean, EMC's been a good, solid acquirer of companies. I mean, actually great acquirer of companies that you can throw in VMware into that mix and some of the others in the storage business have mixed track records. Why do you think Dell is so good at it? You know, I'll tell you, this is totally off, this is no analyst's end point but I think that because Michael Dell is still so heavily involved in the mix that it's still very much his company, right? He's still the namesake and everything where at other companies, it's more classically other people's money, right? And so they don't, I don't know if they've put as much thought into it, it's not as personal as it may be to Dell. My sense is, and they certainly would never, I don't confirm this, but my sense is it's just a more personal acquisition for Dell. They take it more of a family sort of deal. You're kind of including somebody in your family. You want to make sure you're, you know, you don't want to invite them to barbecue and stuff like that. There's names in the box too, right? Yeah, yeah, I mean that's a big thing, right? That's a good point. You know, it's funny, I mean I've watched and been around for a while and you've seen transitions in the industry. I mean, certainly remember, as an East Coast person, we're here in Boston, remember the old mini computer days with Deck and Prime and Wang and DG and those companies are Apollo, they're gone, right? And they were absorbed or near a brink of death and you know, somewhere at the Chapter 11, whatever. It seems to me, George, that the PC era companies, Microsoft, certainly Dell, the guys who really made it big during that age, it's like their executives saw the fact that they crushed some of these larger, really well-established mini computer and other companies. And I think they're much more proactive and smarter about survival. Right, you know Dell is a company with, I think $14 billion of cash in the balance sheet, they've really effectively, I remember DG in the day, they had a ton of cash in the bank, they owned a bunch of real estate, they didn't know what to do, right? They were just like deer in the headlights. Dell is dramatically different. And I would say Microsoft too, how many years have people been gunning at Microsoft? Right, yeah. So, what do you think is up with that? Is it a sort of pride? Have they seen the play before? Are they just smarter? Well, I don't know, I think that because history is happening in closer cycles, you're more attuned to what happened. I mean, most of the guys, or a lot of the guys in the Dell executive team have been around in that mini computer era and they saw that happen, right? And so I think you're right, they can see the handwriting on the wall that the PC is not the long-term viable market that it used to be, right? And I think the transition now to a bigger, you know, more focused sort of storage and server, I think Dell understands that, and I think some of the other guys do too. Yeah, they do, and they've got, many of them have strong VC arms, right? I mean, I saw EMC by ExtremeIO, they had an investment in the company. Dell today just announced Dell Ventures, I believe it was Dell Ventures, they announced an investment in a company in Ann Arbor, Michigan that basically made highly efficient motors for scooters, which was really amazing, you know, seeing that type of, that's talking about a, not even an adjacent market, a total different play, but very highly innovative move. So you're seeing Dell, and they've tried some other things, like Dell TVs and other consumer electronics, didn't work out so great, so I'm impressed with these companies that are putting their telescope on and really trying to get ahead of the curve. So let's talk storage. What are the big mega trends that storage Switzerland is following in storage, and what are some of your favorite things that you're watching? Well, clearly flash, right? SSD flash is big. Maybe not so much a trend, the other trend that we're seeing, just from analytics off of our site and things like that is the basics, right? There are times where we just sort of assume that everybody knows what an IOP is and everybody knows what bandwidth is, and you know, the number three ranked article on our site right now is what are IOPs? Well, what does that mean? Well, it probably means we've got a whole bunch of people graduating and they're hearing this term IOPs, and they're, what does that mean? And they're probably Googling that term exactly, right? So I see two trends, we've got a whole new group of IT people coming into the market that they're just hearing these terms and they're just being forced to assume that they should know what they mean, right? And then the more kind of elaborate stuff like flash, like cloud, you know, those sort of things are all becoming pretty big. So that ladder, that what is IOPs? So Google, what is IOPs? See where storage Switzerland's article comes up, it'll be interesting to see. But so that ladder trend, I think bodes really well for Dell, which is really targeted at the IT generalist, right? Right, absolutely. Yeah, and you know, I was on a, I probably shouldn't say who, but I was on a briefing call and they were announcing a new PCIE card that could do a million IOPs a second, and I didn't say anything. And there was this sort of long, uncomfortable pause and the guy goes, well, isn't that impressive? I thought, yes, sure it is, it's impressive. But nobody knows what that is. What does that mean to the guy? Does that mean he can go home at four o'clock instead of five o'clock now? What does that mean? Does it make more money for his company? Yeah, they don't know what a million, and can you, could you really take advantage of a million IOPs even if you had it, right? It'd be like if we increase the speed limit to 200 miles an hour, well, if the cart off all the traffic's going 20 miles an hour because it's rush hour, it doesn't really matter, right?  They've done a good job of selling to storage admins, features and functions, but not really appealing to the business advocate, do you agree with that? Oh, 100%, in fact, I think that is the key reason why you see so many flash startups instead of, the manufacturers clearly have all brought flash to market, but they've all kind of hinted that it's not going as well as they thought it was, but the flash startups are doing pretty good and because those guys understand that they need to communicate business value where the more traditional manufacturer is really still in that sort of IOP, speeds, feeds, you know, those sort of things, right? And when you're selling something that's 15 times more expensive, you got to be able to explain to somebody why you'd want to pay that, right? Yeah, so let's talk about that a little bit, and it seems to me that flash has the potential to really have huge business impacts, productivity, you know, if you measure even something as revenue per employee or something like that, it seems like flash and the development of new applications really could change a lot of the way in which companies transact business. So you're seeing bits and pieces of that, I guess today with like a Fusion IO and you see the activities they have at Facebook and Apple and maybe some of the other, you know, database-intensive applications. My question to you is, we saw as part of the recent history of storage virtualization with Equalogic and Left Hand and Component and 3PAR and Isilon and I guess I threw a data domain in that mix, one of the greatest wealth creations in storage that I've ever seen. Do you think flash will be a repeat of that? Do you think it'll be bigger than that? I think it'll be bigger. I think that most of those storage companies are going to have to look at their existing portfolio and say, we can't do it like we used to. It's going to require different types of architectures and things like that. And so yeah, I think that these other companies that are sort of the next wave, if you will, right? I think that there's going to be some massive wealth creation. People are very, the people being the traditional storage companies are very conservative or careful about insensitive to the notion that flash will replace spinning disk. There is a line of thinking though that basically says that all active data will be on flash. Do you believe that? Yeah, in fact, I made a proposal once to do a presentation that in five years there'll be two types of storage, flash and tape, right? And you would never use those two in a sentence, but if you kind of map out the long-term coordinates on both of those technologies, they're the only things that can get faster, right? And hard disk has sort of stuck where it is, right? Now, there'll still be some hard disk, but you could see a world that is mostly flash, a little bit of hard disk, and then a lot of tape. Yeah, so I say, there's a great sensitivity of the vendor community when you'd say that, that they don't know, there's a place and they sort of craft their messaging, but it's just if all active data is going to be on flash, well, where's active data live today? It lives on spinning disk, so. Right, well, but I think that the funny thing is, that I think that technologies like what Dell talks about with their fluid data still are going to apply in flash, because I think we're going to have levels or tiers of memory-based storage, right? We're not going to, we'll have a simple example today would maybe be MLC, SLC, and 3-bit or TLC, but as we get into the next types of memory, we might have a mix of that plus the MLCs and SLCs. People say that people in the enterprise space say that if we had to pick a technology to essentially be a persistent technology that we would use in the enterprise, we never would have picked flash, because all the gymnastics that we have to go through, you know, to protect the data, and make sure you deal with wear leveling and make it reliable. At the same time, the reason why flash is where it is is not because somebody in the enterprise picked it, it's because of Apple. Right, absolutely. So my question is there's a lot of discussion about, there's some negative friction in the enterprise about flash because it's maybe not the most enterprise-ready technology, but people have dealt with that, and there's a lot of discussion about follow-on technologies, memory store from HP, for example, and others, you know, a lot of stuff in the labs. What's your take on that? Will those technologies be able to compete from an economic standpoint, or is it really going to be the consumer market that drives the market? Well, that's a tough call. I think that the investment and just the production around flash is so big that I don't know if anything else will be able to overcome it near-term, say within the next five to 10 years even. I just think there's just so much invested in there. I mean, clearly as we get smaller on lithographies and things like that, you know, the flash technology becomes increasingly challenging, but as you start to look at environments that are entirely flash-based, well, you know, EMC's acquisition and some of the other guys that are out there, that changes the game, because if you think about how we're using flash today, it's sort of the worst way to use it, where we're caching stuff, it's up there for a little bit, and then we're pulling it back off and we're putting more stuff on it, and so we have this huge turnover rate. Well, the last thing we really want to do is do a lot of writing to flash, right? Well, if it's all flash, then you don't have that turnover, right? So I think that as that use case evolves, we'll start to see better reliability. The other big thing, of course, is as we have enterprise-class systems protecting flash, if we have a failed flash module, it's not that big of a deal, it's no more a bigger problem than a flash hard drive. So if you take that sort of predominantly flash or, you know, all-flash scenario, and we've talked about this a lot, obviously, the importance of software. Right. To manage that whole hierarchy. Do you see it as a one-way trip to Bitbucket? In other words, we've got the data in flash, okay, and once we're done with it, it's going to go back to the Bitbucket and probably live there forever. Maybe we pull it in every now and then. Yeah, I would say that that's probably the typical scenario. I think on software, though, I think that the zero latency or the low latency of memory-based technology also changes software because now, you know, the software that we've had from all the major manufacturers really changes because they were counting on latency in the hard drive, right? I can remember when, and I think it was NetApp, really, we would talk about, well, we've got to figure out ways to use more of the storage controller processor because it's sitting there doing nothing most of the time. Well, you know, in a heavy flash environment, that's not going to be the case anymore, and so all of a sudden, the software becomes a bottleneck and so they're going to have to become more efficient at software code. Yeah, so we had Pauline Nist on theCUBE. We've had her on a couple of times. We had her on HP Discover, had her on Oracle OpenWorld a year or so ago, and she used the term the horrible storage stack and it stuck in my mind and what she's talking about is not just the spinning nature, but also, if you think of, you know, just even something like the SCSI protocol, the overheads associated with that, and I'm very much intrigued by what FusionIO has done with its VSL technology, being able to essentially do atomic rights. What's your take on that? Is it really a differentiator? Is it something that Intel is going to, you know, going to ultimately, you know, develop and compete very effectively with them? Are there other entrants there? Or does FusionIO really have a significant lead in your opinion? Well, I'll tell you, it depends on how well they can get the community, the development community to embrace that stack, right? If they do, I think they have a big advantage, right? The ISV community writing to their API. Hey, well, I'll tell you the other angle for it, that's interesting for like a FusionIO or even for some of the other guys is storage systems that then use them as part of their stuff, right? So instead of going out and buying yet another PCI thing, I mean, we've seen, I can think of two startups that have FusionIO embedded in their storage system as part of their overall strategy and they're leveraging that API set and they've customized their storage software to take advantage of that high PCIe transition. Are they stealth startups or are they like a data core? Well, specifically, I was thinking of Nutonix, which is a converge play, and then also NextGen, out of the box, right? Okay, so, and then so you've got the sort of memory extension thing going on and part of me doesn't even see that as a storage, you know? It's something new and different that could change, as you say, applications. And then you've got the other end of the spectrum like a violin memory, you know, which is, I've called them the data domain of flash, right? You just sort of plug it into the existing infrastructure. You get huge valuations. They've raised $160 million. What do you make of those guys? Again, I mean, they're on a good track. You know, their issue is going to be how well can they transition? They've partnered very well with HP. I think that's where they've seen a lot of attraction. Their thing is going to be how well can they come into a shareable, more of a true appliance type of nature without any latency and things like that. So those would be the key things. Anybody else that you're really, you're watching closely? I mean, I know you're watching everybody closely. Yeah, I know you've got to be Switzerland, about this. Well, in the flash space, again, I like the all flash plays. I think that they have an interesting, even if people don't use it in that nature just as a kind of a, to handle a specific problem within the environment, I see that. So guys like Pure Storage and Nimble would jump to mine immediately, solid fire again out of Colorado would jump to mine. So I think there's a lot of guys in that space that can do a lot. The other guys that are kind of interesting are the guys that are integrating like a cache or an SSD layer and then using sort of SAS or low end, nearline SAS on the back end. Just to drive, so that drives flash into the SMB space and they're really using it, not necessarily to have great performance on the SSD, they're using it to make slow drives go faster. What's Dell have to do, in your opinion, in flash to maintain leadership or grab leadership? Well, I think they have a lot of the foundational stuff. The RNA stuff could be big, right? And so they have the ability, I think in the enterprise class, this move to server side, pushing the data closer to the server just makes a lot of sense. It's who's going to have the best technology to execute there. I think they've got the foundational stuff to do it. I don't think we'll see it until next year, but I don't know if that's necessarily a big deal. I don't think everybody's going to be racing to server side flash tomorrow, right? So I think that's key. I think the other thing is going to be architecture. We talked about that earlier, is can they tweak the ecologic and compelling architecture is enough that they can get full SSD bandwidth out of that scenario. What do you think of the Extreme I.O. acquisition that reported 430 million, although Rich Napolitano said to me on theCUBE, it wasn't that high. So I don't know what the number was, but it was big. Right, you know, what EMC does a good job of is buying the right company at the right time. I mean, so you almost kind of can't argue with whatever they do from that space. Now it really comes down to how well they execute, because they've had cases where they've executed very, very well, and they've had executed, not so much, right? So to me, the challenge that Extreme I.O. brings to them is can they execute a high value type of product, right? It goes back to what we started with, right? Can you explain why I should pay 15 times more for this than the other thing, right? And if they can do that, I think they're in good shape. The difference, though, is where, when they bought ecologic, when they bought Iceland and Data Domain and those guys, there was a team of people that were able to help their regular sales force with that transition. They kind of left them alone in a way. Exactly, there's no team. I mean, there's a team in Extreme I.O. They don't have sales people all around the world, right? And then that's going to be a hard thing to do. Yeah, that all-flash array looks like it's going to take on the traditional tier one block-based storage space, which I was very intrigued that they put the Extreme I.O. acquisition under Rich Napolitano's group in the mid-range, the unified storage group versus Brian Gallagher in the Symmetrics Group and the Symmetrics and Virtualization Group. Why do you think that was? Do you think they're going to create some internal competition, or was it just a matter of management bandwidth? I don't know, because of all the pure-flash stuff that's out there, I think the Extreme I.O. could make a case to be a real enterprise solution. It had the scalability, the HA stuff. So I think it's more that they're still trying to figure out where that group fits in. And I think that the high-end enterprise group within EMC is still treated special, right? And so I think they would have to kind of earn their way into that. All right, George, we're getting the hook here. I really appreciate it. People want more information? Storage-Switzerland.com. Great, excellent resource. It's all open-free, no firewall. Really great to see you. Thanks very much for coming. Keep it right there. We'll be back with more from the Dell Storage Forum, live from Boston. This is theCUBE.


Let's face it, Africa is a region of the world that popular media does not talk about enough. When talking about dictatorships, the media will usually point to countries like Russia and China, sometimes even more reclusive regimes like North Korea. In last week's video, I looked at Turkmenistan, which hasn't really surfaced in the news much, but still finds its way into the public eye through humor and hopefully my video. Countries like Eritrea and this week's topic, Equatorial Guinea, are not talked about much, but are truly some of the world's most autocratic regimes. Today, I will discuss the short but absolutely mad history of Equatorial Guinea and the tenures of the two leaders of the country over its 50 years of existence. The area that now encompasses Equatorial Guinea has probably been inhabited for tens of thousands of years, but the country's majority Bantu population started migrating to the Rio Muni region of the country around 4,000 years ago. The island of Bioko is thought to have been first inhabited in the 500s AD. In 1474, the Portuguese officially created a colony on the island of Bioko, which at the time was known as Fernando Poe after the man who discovered them. Despite their initial success, the extreme tropical climate of the island proved to be too much for the early European settlers, and the Portuguese mainly abandoned the colony. In 1778, the island was given to the Spanish Empire, and between then in 1810, the colony was actually part of the Viceroy of Rio de la Plata, which was based in Buenos Aires, so it was kind of a colony of Argentina if you want to call it that. In the year 1900, Spain was given the Rio Muni Continental Exclave by France, though what they had received was much less than what they had hoped for. Starting in 1926, both the island of Bioko and Rio Muni were united to form the colony of Spanish Guinea, which would be the modern borders of Equatorial Guinea. In 1963, the independence of the colony was in question, and a conference was held to settle this matter, with many minority groups in the country worrying that the Fong majority would trample over their rights. The leader of the Fong delegates, Francisco Macias Nguema, made a very controversial speech where he stated that Adolf Hitler, and I quote, saved Africa. This totalitarian tenure would outline much of his future presidency. On October 12, 1968, Equatorial Guinea gained independence, and Macias won the election for a president in the country's only fair election, with 63% of the vote. He was initially supported by Francois Spain, but Macias eventually distanced himself from the Spanish, claiming that the Fong could have the homes and wives of the Spanish if they voted for him. His authoritarian tenure only grew from his election. On Christmas Eve 1969, he had over 150 political opponents executed in a purge of whom he claimed were plotting to overthrow his government in a coup. This was only the beginning of Macias' bloody reign of terror, after banning opposition political parties in 1970, and establishing himself as president for life in 1972. He began killing political opponents in the thousands, and even more people were imprisoned, in conditions similar to concentration camps. Macias also allegedly committed genocide against the Bubi people of Bioko, who had worked with the Spanish during colonial rule. 80,000 of the 300,000 Equatorian were killed under his rule, and many others, including most of the country's skilled laborers, fled the country. After overseeing the downfall of his country's economy, Macias was ultimately ousted in a coup d'etat by his nephew, Teodoro Obiang Ngue Mambasogo. Macias had already killed several of Obiang's close family members, including his brother. The whole situation was carried out kind of like Hamlet in real life, except Obiang actually survived after having his uncle depose. Speaking of which, Macias was executed on 29th September 1979 by a hired Moroccan presidential guard, since the local soldiers were afraid he would use his magical powers against them. The rule of Teodoro Obiang Ngue Mambasogo has been described as not quite as brutal as his predecessors, but Equatoginians are still suffering under him. Though he has technically legalized opposition parties, they essentially have no chance at opposing Obiang and his allies in government, due to nearly all members of the National Assembly being part of Obiang's block. He consistently wins elections by margins over 95%, and nearly all agree that major voter fraud is at play in creating these numbers. Aside from the political loopholes that he has created for himself, Obiang has disenfranchised the main population in other ways as well. In 1995, oil was discovered in Equatorial Guinea by mobile, and since then the GDP per capita of the nation has gone way up. However, there is something these numbers are not telling you. Nearly all of this wealth is in the hands of Obiang, his family, and his top officials. The main population of the country is destitute, to such an extent that 20% of children die before the age of 5 and 50% of the population does not have access to clean drinking water. With a net worth estimated to be around 600 million, Obiang owns around 5% of the country's GDP, and this figure alone should give you a glimpse into the true economic disparity of the country. On top of all this, Obiang has been accused of cannibalism by political rival, Severo Moto, who currently lives in Spain.  With all this said, I think it's important that we acknowledge both the well-known atrocities in history as well as the not so well-known ones. Sometimes, especially in the case of Francisco Macias and Guema, the worst tyrants to have ever ruled the earth are not known to most people, and in today's world with Teodoro Obiang, the most kleptocratic leaders are also generally unknown to most. Equatorial Guinea may be a small country, but its short history has proved to be bizarre, bloody, and somewhat disturbing, and a truly fascinating story that I think everyone has the right to hear.

This is one of those things where to make that great comedy I'm not really a big fan of romantic comedies in general Hey, everybody welcome to another episode of movie feuds presents real-time reviews stampede on the horizon Simba's down there in 3d really well, that's right one of us went and saw Lion King in 3d And it's cuz Adam doesn't go to new movies anymore. I don't doesn't like blowing 20 dollars on a movie You could buy at the Walmart dollar bin Lion King in 3d was a big movie and we wanted to go big for this review So what do we do? We sent all of you guys 3d glasses in the mail. That's right. This episode is brought to you in 3d I actually thought you were sending the glasses out. You didn't send them out. How was they supposed to send them out? I don't know their addresses. Oh, no. Well, if anybody's in the market for about 150 glasses 150 try three grand worth. Oh my god I mean, I put a lot of money into this. This is a big deal. We are out a lot of money right now So about a month back Cory and I pitted Lion King versus Aladdin me favoring the old lion Ironically Cory's the one that ended up seeing in 3d because I don't like paying $30 for a crappy 3d port But maybe it was Avatar esque Cory It wasn't there was really a lot to be asked for here There were scenes in the movie that weren't in 3d at all and it hurts your eyes to watch something It's not in 3d wearing 3d glasses, but you probably got the nice beautiful color palette drained of all life and energy because circle of life It's circle of death. Oh nice what it was not a lot needs to be said about the Lion King Obviously a great story great animation and really good music However, the 3d just adds a little bit of complexity. It didn't need to be there at all I'm gonna file this under movies that didn't need to be made So if you're thinking of grabbing the kids packing up at the old minivan and checking it out over the weekend You can't because it's not theaters anymore making this review entirely useless. You're welcome So if it does come out on blu-ray in 3d, you would recommend skipping that $40 purchase The blu-ray version is gonna be great. Obviously really vivid colors You know if you have a nice big plasma or an LCD TV, it's gonna look awesome. However, 3d not so great I don't even think they come out with 3d movies anymore. Do they even care? No Here's a question for you c-dub if your boy Aladdin made it to 3d next year Would you go to it? I wouldn't I I would stay away from 3d movies altogether And I think obviously transformers and some of those probably ruined it for me already But I'd be really excited for it to be in blu-ray and I think that's that's where Lion King was going It was gonna be a big blu-ray release They decided to do a really limited theater showing in 3d, but at the end of the day They're gonna make their money on the blu-ray. Well, there you go fence sitters If you're questioning whether or not Lion King was a good movie Cory just confirmed that it is So Lion King on blu-ray comes out on October 4th and definitely go pick that up However, if you do get a chance if it's still in a theater around you skip it wait for it on the disc pick it up It's good. You're gonna save a lot of money that way a lot of heartache really More than just reviews some movie feuds presents real-time reviews Like sitting next to you. Oh, I got a question for a c-dub if Aladdin your boy came out in Here's a question for a c-dub if your boy Aladdin win to 3d in theaters next year, would you go to it? in theaters if your boy Aladdin win to 3d theater-fied


Hey friends, today we're hanging out at Disney's Hollywood Studios and it is the perfect day to be in the parks. It's this beautiful fall weather, the temperatures in the low 80's, there's a nice breeze and I decided to come on out, ride some rides, eat some food, there's a lot of new snacks here and just have a beautiful Hollywood Studios kind of day. Anywho, let's go do this. When I say this is the best time to come to Disney, I mean it because I love fall and in Florida it just hits different because you get that perfect temperature weather but you still have like sunshine and bright blue skies and it's the perfect combination especially to hang out in Disney World. I definitely want to ride some rides today and I noticed that Genie Plus is $22 and if you guys didn't know Disney raised their prices on a lot of different experiences, Genie Plus being one of them on select days it goes from $15 to $22 and it's going to be interesting to see if the wait times go down because less people are buying Genie Plus or if the wait times go up because more people are going to be in the stand by. So I'm going to find out, check them all out and just explore. Today is Saturday so it's going to be a little bit busy no matter what because it's the weekend and when I booked my park reservation this was the only park that was available which is kind of odd so I think I want to go check out the Tower of Terror and see what the wait time is there. If not then make my way down to Slinky Dog Dash. Before I make my way down to the Tower of Terror and check the wait time I want to stop at the Sunset Ranch Market because that's where a lot of the new snacks are at and I want to check them out. Here is a look at some of the new snacks and drinks. They have a Mickey Mummy cookie, a Mickey shaped chocolate chip cookie with white chocolate mint frosting. Ooh! White chocolate mint frosting. Now that caught my attention. Then they have a Spice Caramel Apple and this is a Fireball Cinnamon Whiskey Apple Cider Cranberry and Salted Caramel Drink. I like it just because of the little Mickey that you'll get in there and then they also have a Frozen Apple Cider and this is cool because it's got the Boba Balls on it but I'm not too sure which one I want to get. Alright even though all of those items look really really good I saw someone walking around with a milkshake like on the corner of my eye and I was like okay that's the one. That's the Silver Tuna. I gotta get that. And I am definitely not disappointed. Here is the Candy Corn milkshake. Look at this thing. Like honestly once I got this and I was walking over to my table three people stopped me and asked me where I got it from and I am so excited to try it. I also got the Pumpkin Patch Cookie. This is like a little sticker doodle and it comes with Pumpkin Candies and Pumpkin Buttercream on it. So we are going all in on the pumpkin today. We are pumpkin blessed. I have to start with the milkshake though because it is starting to melt a little bit. So we are going to try to sip of it first and then we are going to dunk the doughnut into the milkshake. Doesn't that sound great? Oh so good. Oh I love it. Now we are going to take the doughnut off.  There we go. I love these milkshakes. I love how they put the doughnut on them but it is so weird how it kind of isn't that cold. Like whenever they dispense like the milkshakes out of the machine they don't taste cold. They taste like warm but the little cake doughnut on top is always my favorite part. Look at that.  Let's get to the pumpkin patch cookie. This is a Snickerdoodle cookie too and it is so soft and like warm that it is falling apart right now. If I just let go of one side it will start bending and then fall apart. I love that. Oh yeah. I am a big fan of Snickerdoodle though. There we go. Nice little piece right here. Oh maybe a little less. There we go. That is very good.  Look at it. It is so hard. I don't even know what to do. Like I couldn't lift this up. I am going to make a big mess. You can't walk around and drink this. You cannot walk around and drink this milkshake. I mean it is impossible. Look at that. It is so hard. I am going to have to take bigger gulps just to get the whipped cream down but the whipped cream is already like an inch off the cup there. Uh oh. Oh. Ah. I have decided to move my milkshake onto the plate because it keeps on making a mess. Any whipped cream like drips off of anything. I just think of Mrs. Doubtfire when she is dropping the whipped cream off of her face into the tea. It always makes me smile. Enough of the milkshake and cookie business. Now let's go see about the Tower of Terror. Looks like the Tower of Terror is a 50 minute wait and both sides of the elevator shafts are working and that is not that bad. For a Saturday 50 minutes I have seen Tower of Terror sitting around like 120 all day long on Saturdays so that is relatively low actually. Like I said Tower of Terror being a 50 minute standby wait on a Saturday is a really good wait time but I rather put that 50 minutes toward like Slinky Dog Dash because I don't ride Slinky Dog Dash as much as I ride Tower of Terror and I think that is a little snake. Look at it. Look at the little baby snake. I love that. Be free my friend. Be free. Well that was kind of cute. A little Disney baby snake just slither around on the pavement. I picked them up and put them in the bushes so no one accidentally runs over them. But I love that. I love seeing a little Disney nature. But like I was saying if I am going to wait 50 minutes I rather wait for Slinky Dog Dash and I am starting to think maybe that was a bad idea because Slinky Dog Dash is 90 minutes, Toy Story Mania 80 minutes, Smugglers Run is 110 minutes, Rise of the Resistance is 105 minutes. This is these are very long, long lines. Holy moly why does Smugglers Run longer than Rise of the Resistance? I feel like I should have just got on Tower of Terror. Now I have done goofed, I have done goofed. These wait times are crazy today. Like I really wanted to ride Slinky Dog Dash but everything is over an hour. Some of them are pushing two hours except Tower of Terror which is at 50 minutes. Which I don't even understand the logic of that. It doesn't even make any sense. And I was like you know if I just bought Genie Plus for $22 but I just paid $22 would that guarantee me riding Slinky Dog Dash today? And no. I went and looked. There were no lightning lanes available for Slinky Dog Dash. So even if I paid $22 I still could not skip the line. And that is crazy. So Smugglers Run has a longer wait than Rise of the Resistance. I don't know what's going on there. Even though I know Slinky Dog Dash is a 90 minute wait I still want to walk down and see what it's like.  Well folks unfortunately this looks like it's a 90 minute wait but we'll time it anyway. It is $252, $252 but I feel like we're going to be here for a while. I feel like it's kind of a condom drum because if less people are buying Genie Plus then there's less people in the lightning lane so that means the standby lane will move a lot faster. But then again if they're not in the lightning lane then they're in the standby line and then that way the standby line is longer because there's more people in it. So I really can't tell. Slinky Dog wags his tail, wiggles his body and he can sit up and beg or bite a flea on his leg.  We are 80 minutes in and almost to the front of the line so it was pretty accurate to that 90 minute wait time and I think this is the longest I've waited for a ride in quite a long time actually. So at least I'll be super hugged when I get up there. Look at that, 416 now and we're finally at the front of the line. Here we go. Here is his mic cord and then he can see it comes up right here and then it goes behind but it's not attached to his mic so that's so funny like look it's not attached. Really make you feel great afterwards even though it was like a 90 minute wait I enjoyed myself it was fun and also I never noticed that his mic isn't attached that's the coolest little detail. I love being able to find things that you never really noticed before you know. Now we've made our way back out to the front of the park. I saw that they had the haunted mansion dog bed here at Hollywood and I've been wanting to get up for Gracie so I think I'm gonna actually swing over and pick it up and then we're gonna hop over to Epcot because I want to get something to eat and there's something over there that they just started serving that really want to try. I have been looking for this dog bed for a while and I'm not even sure if Gracie's gonna like it or not because it's kind of like a doom buggy. It's a doom buggy dog bed and I'm not too sure if she'll actually sleep in it but I want to get it just so we can try and they're selling barrier tacos over at Epcot in sunshine season so I thought maybe we'd hop over there grab some tacos get Gracie a dog bed all good things.  I was just here and they had the dog beds right here and I didn't pick it up because I didn't want to carry it around the park with me and they're all gone. I can't even believe it. What is this? Is this like a doom buggy? It is.  That's too tiny but I love that with Madame Leota. Oh I'm so upset. I was here I should have got it when I could. Oh look it. We found one. They had one hidden down below. I'm gonna pull it out. There we go. We got so lucky. Look at that. I'm getting it now. I think she's gonna love it. I think she'll actually use it. They didn't have a bag big enough for the bag so I'm just carrying it around and I'm very interested to see if Gracie's gonna actually sit in it. It was I think $60 so I mean if she doesn't use it I'm sure she'll probably chew it apart so either I got a very nice $60 dog bed or I just paid $60 for a chew toy.  I'm gonna love her being I'm gonna love seeing her sitting it. Just gonna randomly sit Gracie's dog bed look oh it's flying away I just set it down here to see what it looked like look it's flying away oh no I was just chestin' it out. How funny was that Gracie's bed was like almost flying away and someone came over in there like hey do you want me to help you with that I was like oh no I'm good I'm just testing it out what do you think they meant when I what do you think they thought I meant when I said I'm just testing it out it just felt so funny to me. But from dog beds to spaceship earth that's how we roll and we are in Epcot time to explore get something to eat maybe ride a ride I bet you the wait times will be a lot lower here than they were at Hollywood Studios and have fun. I came all the way over here to Epcot because I really wanted to get those barrier tacos in sunshine seasons and they close at four o'clock. I can't even believe why would they close so early I was really wanting those tacos they look so amazing and now I'm just like oh came all the way over here for that. But I think maybe we'll head to Mexico maybe grab something out of the quick service location there but I'm still really sad maybe one day I'll get those tacos the barrier tacos they're in like sunshine seasons and everyone's been talking about them and I missed it by minutes adios mios. It is seriously such a beautiful day I'm so excited we're just gonna head right back to world showcase might get something to eat from Mexico they the quick service or they the food and wine booth or just from any of the boots around world showcase there's lots to eat in world showcase and I'm just happy to be here like I said it is gorgeous out right now. Honestly I just can't stop thinking about tacos so we just stopped at the quick service location right next to San Angel and we're gonna get a couple tacos I mean it's not gonna be the ones that want it but they're still gonna be good tacos looks like we've got a nice selection of tacos over here I ended up getting the taco trio so you get a little bit of everything a little barbacoa a little chicken and then also they have one with shrimp too so I'm excited I'm gonna try all three of them and also I got myself a little beer I was thinking about getting this one but I think this is really really dark so I went light today should have got a dosa quizo all these tacos look so good even the birds want them and I think we got a nice little spot by the water over here oh even the squirrels want the tacos this is kind of a crazy day squirrel snakes birds oh boy that's a no look at this we've got the chicken we've got the barbacoa they put salsa on the barbacoa and then we got the shrimp along with some rice and some beans and we got the beer everything's all good gonna go with the chicken taco first there we go put a little rice on there a little salsa much too good now it's time for some barbacoa watch out for those birds I'm gonna come after you did you get the plantines nice this is gonna be a messy taco right here a sloppy taco so good though those tacos did the trick I absolutely love them not as good as probably the barrier tacos but we'll get them eventually and now it's time for us to make our way maybe over to soren I wouldn't mind going for a ride on soren and then also I want to tell you guys about this really cool soren like ride that I did in New York City when I went and visited a couple of days ago when I was in New York City I was able to ride a soren attraction like that was over New York City was called Rise New York and it was just like soren but instead of going around the world it just went over all of New York City and it was amazing like I wasn't vlogging that day but I did record the ride itself so I might try to add it in at the end of this video after we get home and see Gracie and show her her new dog bed I might add it in if I could though because I don't know because a lot of the music in there is copyrighted like they of course they play that song like in New York and I honestly I got goosebumps because you guys know soren is one of my all-time favorite rides and to be able to do that over New York with the music it was awesome so I'll try to add it in but for now we're going to go ride the regular soren which I loved dearly and here it is soren around the world hopefully it's not too long of a line it says 50 minutes but I think it's going to go by pretty fast that was actually only about 20 30 minutes so that's not too bad at all so if you get up here and put your ear against the wall you can literally it'll cancel out all the sounds you might be able to do it on this one yeah oh wow do you feel it isn't that crazy you don't feel that clutch on nice flight so we're in the tower gonna take off these precious babies so we're in the tower we are ready for takeoff soren was amazing we didn't get b1 we got c1 which is pretty good but it was still like we're still like this you know what I mean b1 is the only way we get like that perfect like straight shot everything else is all distorted like the leaning tower of pizza now we're making our way up front and it's awesome because it's that time where it's still daylight out and spaceship earth is all lit up in its glory look at that this is the best time to see it like this I love it the air right now is absolutely beautiful look at yet that's how I feel walking out right now well nice this is the time to be in the park well except for it's super busy but comfortable wise this is the time to be in the parks so that was really cool to be able to catch the show on spaceship earth now it's time to go see Gracie girl and present her with her new bed and hopefully she enjoys it as much as I'm gonna probably enjoy her enjoying it I got you a new bed Gracie come on it's time to move out I gotta take this bed away let me take this one come on come on you tore this one up look at it's all empty there we go we'll take this one out let's see moment of truth guys there's a new bed come on in right there Gracie it's a new bed I'm gonna lay in
