Tech Addiction Episode 9 - Black Ops 2 World Record, Wii U and AMD, Cooking with Flashlights

2012-11-23
you're watching tech addiction i'm your host Jays two cents and we're doing things a little bit differently here today I thought I'd go ahead and give you guys just a interesting little intro here and showing you where all the magic happens when it comes to my studio and the things that I do to bring you things that I find interesting in the world of technology so don't go away we've got Thanksgiving to talk about we've got things to be thankful for and we've got AMD making its way back into your house welcome back to tech addiction guys I hope you like that little intro there where I showed you a little bit of my studio / of this / game room / to a dog house when I'm in trouble with my wife and this is a pullout futon I can't sleep on it if I need to I'm gonna try to get to this really fast I am still stuffed from turkey day there was black friday shopping I am beat if it wasn't for the fact that i've had three monsters prior to making this and to starbucks i probably would be passed out right now and for all i know i'm probably gonna pass out during this video because i feel like i'm in a very very high sugar rush right now what are we talking about I've got to say right off the bat that I am just completely thankful that 750 of you in the last three months have found it in yourself to subscribe to me and watch me because I had no idea where this was going to go when i started youtube and if it continues to go forward and get bigger great and if it stays right where it's at so what I'm having fun doing this I hope you're having fun watching and I just wanted to go ahead and get that out of the way and say happy thanksgiving and I'm vehicle to every single one of you so it's only been a little over a week since black ops 2 is lunch and I'm sure a lot of you have already played the game for hours upon hours come home from school play the game come home from work play the game site sleep black ops sleep black ops I will play black ops and I will sleep at school I bet you haven't spent as much time as one guy setting a world record for a hundred and thirty-five hours straight he was going for the world record he was going to beat the previous record of a hundred and twenty hours and he did it by 15 hours I have to wonder if whether or not some of you guys could have done that because you see the way it works with the Guinness Book of World Records is you're allowed a 10 minute break every one hour and you are given the ability to skip breaks in order to take a longer break in the future so if you say I want to go for hours straight and not take a break you get 40 minutes or potentially as much as four hours of data sleep so if you guys want to go ahead and just skip all your brakes play all day like I bet a lot of you you and then just go ahead and take three or four hours sleep later and to just keep going and eat while you're playing sounds to me like a lot of you probably already broke in that world record but either way I haven't even played the multiplayer yet so maybe I have a world record for all I know going the longest without actually playing the game as most of you may know and some of you may not because a lot of my viewers are actually from other countries this week on Thursday we celebrated thanksgiving and that's the day where we get all of our family together and we pretend to be thankful and we tolerate each other for a short amount of time and you try and limit how many fights you having one day but one of the staple dishes that you have it Thanksgiving dinner is a giant turkey and I don't mean me I mean there was an actual Turkey on our table I wasn't the only turkey and my Thanksgiving use the jab Turkey I really just told a turkey joke by the way if any of you out there are good joke writers go ahead and contact me because I could seriously use some content I am not very good at cut to telling jokes but check out this video right here where supposedly a guy took five high intensity flashlights and focused the beams right there on the turkey and cooked it they cooked it with flashlights you know it's time lapse inand doesn't it doesn't look like anybody tampered with the turkey but if you look carefully you can see there is a bit of a cut there is a bit of a little glitch in the video there where somebody could have potentially you know pulled a fast one over on us or maybe this is just a really good photoshop or after effects but either way it would be kind of cool to think about the fact that you could probably cook a turkey with at least a few halogen lamps I would think you know you focus the light on it long it up and then there you go can have tech addiction without having something to do with some sort of Turkey besides myself so with the launch of windows 8 staples is put out a brand new commercial where they talk about their you know free tech advisor their free training with any PC that you buy that comes pre-loaded with windows 8 free windows 8 training from your son can you help me with something nope good talk or free windows 8 training when you buy a computer at Staples another way staples makes it easier to upgrade I found this commercial will be absolutely hilarious cuz this is how some people would say I act at work you come and ask me for help no but some people are saying that this is staples way of saying that Windows 8 is harder to use than Windows is intending it to be have any of you use Windows 8 tell me what you think about it I haven't made the jump it I'm afraid to I'm going to wait for service pack 1 before I go to windows 8 but i'd like to hear how you guys feel about it is easy to use or is this commercial true where if you buy it you're good need some training with it regardless of how tech-savvy you may be so quite a few of the previous Tekken diction episodes have included things about AMD no longer interested in making performance desktop processors no longer interested with trying to compete with Intel and you know only focusing on their server type processors and their integrated GPU processors which are believe it or not the a series and the a-10 are really better than intel when it comes to the integrated graphics but you know AMD is in January planning on doing some reorganization of their company to try and find just the right track and their niche where they can get a real grasp on the market and believe it or not Andy may have silently already made some of these changes without telling people because it just came to light that the Wii U is powered by AMD and if you watch me on a regular basis you already know that I'm an AMD power user but if you've got a wii u what's the performance like is it smooth they say that it's uh you know the we finally and matured with HD and better graphics so what do you think how's the wii u perform i had to go ahead and share this this week because we know there's been so much going on with samsung vs apple you know and vice versa and the patent wars and stuff but i just have to go ahead and report that apple has hired samsung check it out fam thumb so apple didn't actually hire this guy because his name was samsung then what i'm surprised that samsung hasn't jumped on this guy and tackled him and and sued him for stealing their name so Google recognizes that if you're a technology company in today's age there is a really volatile situation when it comes to our patent office you see the united states patent and trademark office is you know really liberal when it comes to handing out patents you apply for something you almost always get it as long as nobody else is applied before but you see google feels that the US patent office is making things difficult for real companies doing real things in the world google is on an anti troll campaign where they are seriously urging the US patent office to go through and really comb through the patents to make sure that there's none in there that are truly stopping the progression of technology and that there's no patents in there held by no reputable companies that are blocking big companies from actually doing work from bringing progression to the consumer google themselves even have a website where you can go and find a pen if you'd like to see if something is patented you could go to their website and actually do a patent search and see who owns the pen when is it its fire woman filed what's the patent number you know all of that information and that's actually being used by a lot of trolls who truly never done anything to find out whether or not something that is big in the community or big in the world is patented if it's not trolls are going and filing patents on these getting issued the patent and then turning around ensuing the companies that actually created the technology so Google's pissed about this and a lot of it really stems from the things that Apple's doing and samsung and motorola and they're ready to get sued by a lot of these smaller companies that are claiming that they're stealing their technology but with the way the system works today it really comes down to who files first and whether or not they get the pen and then what they do is they start bombarding these big companies with lawsuits hoping to get settlements just for fast cash and it's not right so Google's anti-troll campaign is really pushing for the US Patent Office to make some serious overhauls with the way patents are issued out I have to agree with this entirely you see the US Patent Office was all about taking technology and ideas so you can get a patent on an idea not necessarily something that's actually made but taking ideas and protecting the intellectual property of who designed or came up with the idea and the concept but on the flip side it's also meant to keep technology and ideas moving forward you're not allowed to get a patent on something that stops a progression of technology and what's happening here is companies are going and they're just doing these masks blanket patterns where they're trying to stop other companies for being able to move forward and that's not right so the US Patent Office and one hundred percent with you on this google the Patent Office seriously needs to go through and really comb through these patents to find out which ones are frivolous and which ones are truly stopping the progression of Technology and that just depth that deserves its own rant video because that just sort of pisses me off all right guys it's time for technologies dumbass of the Week so for the last two weeks I've brought you dumbass it didn't include criminals but guess what we're bringing the funny and stupid criminals back to tech edition in Denver there's a privately owned game store kind of like a kind of like a you know an enthusiast no hobby shop where they sell dungeons and dragons and magic the gathering but video games and all that sort of stuff too and this guy comes in and demands to the clerk that he'd give him all his money and the clerk says no I got the guys like what what do you mean no I i I'm robbing you the clerk says I don't care that ain't cool and and then the crooks like but you don't understand how this works I come in and you know I say give me all the money and you say here you go don't hurt me and I say thanks have a happy Thanksgiving and you know I I just get on my way but the owner of the store said oh I'm not giving you any money that's not cool that's not cool little man back that's jacked up bro so the crook is no he's he's kind of put on the spot he doesn't know to do is like but that's just that I I robbed the convenience store and and the the bank right there and and and they gave me money the guys like as a problem I don't care that's my money yeah so the crooks like I'm fine screw you and he leaves and that gave plenty of time for the police to arrive because the guy pushes the little you know I'm being robbed button under under the counter or whatever and the police start to show up so the guy gets in his car and he takes off and he flips his car over and lands in some persons lon and it gets apprehended for all three robberies the clerk only had ten dollars in his drawer he stood in the matter of principle and I believe it and this guy is technologies dumbass of the Week for trying to rob a game store you see you don't mess with gamers no because we've got some mean thumbs and you know we can thumb wrestle you like you would never believe alright guys it's all I got for this week I know it was kind of short a little bit shorter than normal but it's true but it was turkey day and I'm full and I'm tired and shopping and money and i'm home but stuff i don't i didn't really really feel like doing this is weak
