Raw Blame History

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,560
From my heart and from my hand, why don't people understand my intentions?
2
00:00:05,140 --> 00:00:06,380
Computer running slow?
3
00:00:06,560 --> 00:00:06,880
Avoiding.
4
00:00:07,060 --> 00:00:07,820
Caught a virus?
5
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:08,420
Yes!
6
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:09,500
When?
7
00:00:09,580 --> 00:00:10,000
When?
8
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:13,320
Does your computer seem to have a life of its own?
9
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:14,280
Malfunction.
10
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:15,800
Need input.
11
00:00:16,080 --> 00:00:17,780
The computer guru is here.
12
00:00:17,940 --> 00:00:18,840
My God, you're here!
13
00:00:19,220 --> 00:00:20,060
Call in now.
14
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:21,880
751-1041.
15
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:24,060
That's 751-1041.
16
00:00:24,540 --> 00:00:25,860
Now, it's Mike Swanson.
17
00:00:26,080 --> 00:00:27,380
Your computer guru.
18
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:29,120
On 104.1 The Truth.
19
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:30,560
Here you go.
20
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:32,720
Two sides to News Talk FM.
21
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:38,760
Hello and welcome to the Computer Guru Show.
22
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:39,300
My name's Mike.
23
00:00:39,300 --> 00:00:42,400
Here to deal with your technology needs and treat you like a real person in the process.
24
00:00:42,460 --> 00:00:43,080
Give us a call.
25
00:00:43,660 --> 00:00:45,440
751-1041 if you'd like to be part of the show.
26
00:00:45,500 --> 00:00:47,580
Once again, 751-1041.
27
00:00:48,160 --> 00:00:51,440
See what we can do to help you out with whatever technology issues are plaguing you today.
28
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:52,720
You were today.
29
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:55,300
It's not ailing or plaguing.
30
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:55,680
Plaguing.
31
00:00:55,820 --> 00:00:56,180
Plaguing.
32
00:00:56,180 --> 00:00:57,080
Today it's the plague.
33
00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:58,680
You're going to have the plague today.
34
00:00:58,780 --> 00:00:59,280
That's nice.
35
00:01:00,860 --> 00:01:02,980
Well, you know, I heard a plague hit Mac pretty hard, so.
36
00:01:03,140 --> 00:01:04,340
Well, we're going to get to that.
37
00:01:04,380 --> 00:01:04,900
You want to talk about that?
38
00:01:04,980 --> 00:01:05,300
All right.
39
00:01:05,300 --> 00:01:05,540
Do it.
40
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:10,740
So, Mac is getting their little plague stuff, and that's for a little bit later in the show today.
41
00:01:10,900 --> 00:01:11,160
All right.
42
00:01:11,340 --> 00:01:16,040
But, I think we're going to start out with the UK hacking all kinds of websites.
43
00:01:16,320 --> 00:01:16,880
The UK?
44
00:01:17,180 --> 00:01:18,500
It means all the UKs?
45
00:01:18,500 --> 00:01:19,000
Like, hacking websites?
46
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:19,880
Well, you know, MI6.
47
00:01:20,460 --> 00:01:20,780
MI6?
48
00:01:21,060 --> 00:01:22,400
MI6 is hacking websites now.
49
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:23,480
So, you got...
50
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:25,260
You got...
51
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:26,640
MI6, really?
52
00:01:26,780 --> 00:01:26,980
Yeah.
53
00:01:27,060 --> 00:01:27,380
Wow.
54
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:28,940
So, apparently the CIA was going to do it.
55
00:01:28,940 --> 00:01:29,920
So, Tom Cruise is hacking websites?
56
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:30,660
Oh, no.
57
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:30,880
That's...
58
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:31,660
Oh, my bad.
59
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:32,740
I think I missed an impossible.
60
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:33,560
Sorry.
61
00:01:34,820 --> 00:01:37,320
How many times do we have to tell you not to try?
62
00:01:37,320 --> 00:01:38,880
Why is she talking?
63
00:01:40,140 --> 00:01:44,720
Because she's learning what I tell you every week to leave the comedy to the professionals.
64
00:01:44,740 --> 00:01:45,340
I see.
65
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,120
So, MI6 decided to go out and hack an Al-Qaeda website.
66
00:01:49,500 --> 00:01:49,820
All right.
67
00:01:49,940 --> 00:01:50,940
An Al-Qaeda website.
68
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:51,300
Right.
69
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:53,700
Now, we were going to do it.
70
00:01:54,540 --> 00:01:55,340
Me and you?
71
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:55,680
No.
72
00:01:55,820 --> 00:01:57,940
We, as in the US, was going to do it.
73
00:01:58,000 --> 00:01:59,820
But, the CIA said,
74
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,500
we shouldn't do that because it's a valuable source of information.
75
00:02:02,620 --> 00:02:06,360
This web magazine that they have that teaches you how to build dangerous things.
76
00:02:06,580 --> 00:02:07,340
It's valuable.
77
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:09,180
Oh, it's valuable for chatter, I assume.
78
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:09,560
Well, yeah.
79
00:02:09,580 --> 00:02:11,880
To pick up, you know, intelligence and such.
80
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,460
Well, MI6 apparently disagreed.
81
00:02:15,460 --> 00:02:24,940
And they thought that the readers of this magazine would be much happier making cupcakes than building...
82
00:02:24,940 --> 00:02:26,260
Making cupcakes.
83
00:02:26,540 --> 00:02:27,880
Dangerous, dangerous items.
84
00:02:27,980 --> 00:02:28,320
Right.
85
00:02:28,660 --> 00:02:29,980
So, they replaced...
86
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:35,540
They replaced all of the bad stuff on there with an encrypted version of Ellen DeGeneres'
87
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:37,580
best cupcakes in America.
88
00:02:40,060 --> 00:02:40,760
It's awesome.
89
00:02:41,220 --> 00:02:42,740
I didn't even know Ellen DeGeneres cooked.
90
00:02:42,980 --> 00:02:43,720
So, that's awesome.
91
00:02:44,060 --> 00:02:45,720
Well, you know, somebody's got to replace Oprah.
92
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:47,260
So, she's got books about everything now.
93
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:47,740
Wow.
94
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:48,260
Wow.
95
00:02:48,420 --> 00:02:49,600
That is funny.
96
00:02:49,780 --> 00:02:50,520
So, am I...
97
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:51,360
I'm just waiting...
98
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:52,420
At least I have a good sense of humor.
99
00:02:52,540 --> 00:02:55,260
I'm just waiting for Ellen to put on 200 pounds and give away cars.
100
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:55,760
No.
101
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:57,460
Oh, that was just very wrong.
102
00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:58,940
It's very, very wrong.
103
00:02:58,980 --> 00:02:59,700
And I apologize.
104
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:02,320
That's funny, man.
105
00:03:02,380 --> 00:03:03,080
It's just terrible.
106
00:03:03,260 --> 00:03:03,720
Let's talk to Frank.
107
00:03:03,780 --> 00:03:04,160
Hey, Frank.
108
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:04,540
How you doing?
109
00:03:05,820 --> 00:03:06,220
Hi.
110
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:06,660
Hi.
111
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:07,900
How can I help you?
112
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,620
Well, I have a virus on my computer.
113
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:13,680
Okay.
114
00:03:17,060 --> 00:03:21,560
Essentially, I restarted my computer in safe mode.
115
00:03:21,820 --> 00:03:27,880
And I ran all of my Spybot Search and Destroy malware bytes.
116
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:39,460
And I had a lot of viruses and Trojans and other malware.
117
00:03:39,660 --> 00:03:43,280
But when I restarted my computer...
118
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:44,200
It all came back.
119
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:49,080
It still was kind of not functioning correctly.
120
00:03:51,220 --> 00:03:54,780
One of the things that it did was it made all of my files hidden.
121
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,560
So, I had to go into a folder and unhide them.
122
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:01,120
And I had to go to the master folder to see them.
123
00:04:01,180 --> 00:04:03,360
But they're still kind of that...
124
00:04:03,740 --> 00:04:04,200
Grayed out?
125
00:04:04,860 --> 00:04:05,340
Yeah, yeah.
126
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:06,040
Faded out.
127
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:06,400
Right.
128
00:04:06,900 --> 00:04:10,860
That's because you had to go into the master folder that those folders are in and right-click
129
00:04:10,860 --> 00:04:14,300
and go to the properties and say, uncheck the box that says hidden.
130
00:04:15,340 --> 00:04:16,220
Yeah, I did that.
131
00:04:16,460 --> 00:04:16,680
Okay.
132
00:04:16,700 --> 00:04:17,740
And then they will pop back up.
133
00:04:17,840 --> 00:04:18,980
And they won't be grayed out anymore.
134
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:23,680
But the bigger issue that you have is you restarted and your virus is still technically there.
135
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:25,420
And you had some residual stuff in there.
136
00:04:25,660 --> 00:04:27,920
You probably didn't turn off system restore, first of all.
137
00:04:28,940 --> 00:04:29,980
Any time you do a virus, it's still there.
138
00:04:29,980 --> 00:04:29,980
139
00:04:29,980 --> 00:04:31,920
So, if you want to do a virus removal, you always want to make sure you turn off system
140
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:32,160
restore.
141
00:04:32,340 --> 00:04:34,220
Otherwise, Windows is going to try to put it right back.
142
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:35,760
All right.
143
00:04:35,780 --> 00:04:37,200
So, turn off system restore?
144
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:37,700
Yeah.
145
00:04:37,700 --> 00:04:38,840
You should disable system restore.
146
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:43,060
Not only is it worthless, it can also reinfect your machine after cleanup.
147
00:04:43,220 --> 00:04:43,440
Right.
148
00:04:43,540 --> 00:04:44,880
So, you want to make sure you turn that off.
149
00:04:45,180 --> 00:04:46,880
Now, what antivirus are you using?
150
00:04:46,940 --> 00:04:48,220
Because I thought I heard you list two of them.
151
00:04:50,780 --> 00:04:59,320
I'm using Spybot Search and Destroy, Malwarebytes, Vypr, and Advir.
152
00:05:00,020 --> 00:05:00,360
Wow.
153
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:02,660
Okay.
154
00:05:02,820 --> 00:05:04,880
So, all right.
155
00:05:04,900 --> 00:05:10,120
Have you heard me give the explanation of why you can't have two antiviruses on a machine?
156
00:05:11,460 --> 00:05:12,700
No, I don't think I have.
157
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:13,000
All right.
158
00:05:13,020 --> 00:05:14,060
So, here's the way it works.
159
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:14,380
All right.
160
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,540
You got Vypr on there and Advira, right?
161
00:05:17,620 --> 00:05:17,740
Yeah.
162
00:05:17,740 --> 00:05:19,980
And those are both real antiviruses.
163
00:05:20,260 --> 00:05:24,420
The other two are just sort of anti-malware, so you can have as many of those as you like.
164
00:05:25,100 --> 00:05:28,020
However, you cannot have two antiviruses running at the same time.
165
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:28,780
And I'll tell you why.
166
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:29,960
There's a half-life of the antivirus running on the machine.
167
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:29,960
168
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:29,960
169
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:29,960
170
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:34,940
There's a very special place in Windows that antivirus has to reside if it's able to oversee
171
00:05:34,940 --> 00:05:36,320
everything that the machine is doing.
172
00:05:36,980 --> 00:05:37,420
Okay.
173
00:05:37,420 --> 00:05:41,040
And the antivirus itself is trained to kill anything else that's in that spot.
174
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:46,080
So, you have two antiviruses that are trying to vie for the same area within Windows.
175
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:51,140
So, they spend all their time trying to kill each other rather than trying to keep you
176
00:05:51,140 --> 00:05:51,460
safe.
177
00:05:52,420 --> 00:05:52,860
Okay.
178
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:56,000
So, you need to make sure that you only have one antivirus on the machine.
179
00:05:56,180 --> 00:05:59,680
In your particular case, you know, we recommend Avast on the show.
180
00:05:59,960 --> 00:06:01,860
And the reason why is that you can do a boot time scan.
181
00:06:02,540 --> 00:06:08,620
A lot of the reason that a virus scan won't remove an infection is because Windows deems
182
00:06:08,620 --> 00:06:12,880
that file as in use and locks it and prevents the antivirus from deleting it or modifying
183
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:13,140
it.
184
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:14,560
Yeah.
185
00:06:14,660 --> 00:06:18,680
So, take your other antiviruses off, put Avast on there, do a boot time scan.
186
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,380
And that's going to help out a lot towards getting you clean.
187
00:06:21,500 --> 00:06:25,980
Make sure System Restore is turned off, and that'll probably get you at least cleaned
188
00:06:25,980 --> 00:06:27,460
up to the point where you can move on to other steps.
189
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:29,200
Okay.
190
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,460
How do I put Avast on there?
191
00:06:31,580 --> 00:06:37,080
Because it's basically not really letting me...
192
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:38,300
Do you have another machine?
193
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:40,580
I do, yeah.
194
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:40,980
Okay.
195
00:06:40,980 --> 00:06:44,720
So, go download Avast, put it on a memory stick or something, and then move it over.
196
00:06:44,820 --> 00:06:46,860
Put it on a CD if you want to be extra safe.
197
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:48,060
Okay.
198
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:48,940
Okay?
199
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:49,980
Okay.
200
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,900
Now, if that doesn't work for you, all right, or if you're unable to get any resolution
201
00:06:54,900 --> 00:06:55,900
that way...
202
00:06:55,900 --> 00:06:56,520
Do another week?
203
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:56,920
Yeah.
204
00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:57,780
We'll do one more week.
205
00:06:57,900 --> 00:06:58,780
I think another week.
206
00:06:58,840 --> 00:06:59,360
We'll do one more week.
207
00:06:59,360 --> 00:06:59,460
We'll do it for the summer.
208
00:06:59,820 --> 00:07:00,740
Wow, the summer?
209
00:07:00,820 --> 00:07:02,500
Okay, you need to reel it back in a little bit.
210
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:03,300
All right, we'll do it for the summer.
211
00:07:03,340 --> 00:07:05,120
We're doing $65 virus removals.
212
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:06,160
All right?
213
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:10,320
So, normally, the $95 ones, we're taking down to $65.
214
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:12,980
So, we can remove it for you if it comes down to it.
215
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:14,360
Okay.
216
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:14,960
All right?
217
00:07:15,300 --> 00:07:18,520
You have to mention the special, though, if you want to bring it in and get it at that
218
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:18,780
price.
219
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:20,060
Yeah, because otherwise, it's full price.
220
00:07:21,060 --> 00:07:21,700
Summer special?
221
00:07:22,020 --> 00:07:22,280
Yeah.
222
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:22,420
Yeah.
223
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:23,900
Antivirus special.
224
00:07:24,060 --> 00:07:24,520
All right?
225
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:25,500
All right.
226
00:07:25,500 --> 00:07:27,320
So, hopefully, that works for you.
227
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:32,040
All right, I'll do that now and see how it works out.
228
00:07:32,140 --> 00:07:32,780
I appreciate it.
229
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:33,680
All right, I appreciate the call.
230
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:34,020
Thank you.
231
00:07:34,100 --> 00:07:36,520
If you'd like to be part of the show, 751-1041.
232
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:40,460
We'll see what we can do to help you out with your issues, whatever happens to be plaguing
233
00:07:40,460 --> 00:07:40,500
you.
234
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:41,160
Technology issues.
235
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:45,100
Because I don't want you people calling up here like I'm Dr. Drew or something, because
236
00:07:45,100 --> 00:07:45,880
I am going to help you.
237
00:07:45,900 --> 00:07:46,620
No, please do that.
238
00:07:46,700 --> 00:07:50,800
I want to see how Randall responds to people saying that they're depressed.
239
00:07:51,060 --> 00:07:52,580
No, Dr. Drew, isn't he like the love doctor?
240
00:07:52,700 --> 00:07:54,100
Yeah, Dr. Drew is a love life.
241
00:07:54,100 --> 00:07:54,480
Yeah, yeah.
242
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,480
The depressed guy is, what's his name?
243
00:07:57,540 --> 00:07:57,960
I don't know.
244
00:07:58,000 --> 00:07:58,800
He's on Oprah all the time.
245
00:07:58,920 --> 00:07:59,440
Is that Dr. Phil?
246
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:00,380
Yeah, Dr. Phil.
247
00:08:00,460 --> 00:08:00,900
No, no, no.
248
00:08:00,980 --> 00:08:03,880
The guy that you call when you're depressed on the radio.
249
00:08:04,220 --> 00:08:06,180
Oh, I've heard his show in the middle of the night.
250
00:08:06,260 --> 00:08:08,260
It's on like really late at night, Sunday nights.
251
00:08:08,380 --> 00:08:09,260
It's not very good.
252
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:10,760
Oh, God.
253
00:08:10,820 --> 00:08:13,380
But the moral of the story is, call him when you're technology-prone.
254
00:08:13,500 --> 00:08:14,120
It's not on this station, so I can say that.
255
00:08:14,180 --> 00:08:16,700
I'm telling you, it's not like the Computer Guru show.
256
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:19,720
Because our show is awesome.
257
00:08:19,940 --> 00:08:23,100
If you have computer depression, we will be happy to take care of you.
258
00:08:23,220 --> 00:08:23,880
Computer depression.
259
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:24,840
Your computer is like, aww.
260
00:08:24,860 --> 00:08:25,100
That's right.
261
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:26,760
We'll be the shrink for your computer.
262
00:08:27,020 --> 00:08:28,500
Your computer whisperer, is that what you say?
263
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:30,780
All right, so this kid wanted an iPad.
264
00:08:31,500 --> 00:08:32,220
All right.
265
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:33,920
I got another story to go with this one.
266
00:08:34,020 --> 00:08:34,840
I'm changing the subject here.
267
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:35,220
All right, go ahead.
268
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:35,580
Continue.
269
00:08:36,020 --> 00:08:37,600
There's this kid who really wanted an iPad.
270
00:08:37,820 --> 00:08:38,120
All right.
271
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:38,800
A lot.
272
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:39,280
Okay.
273
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:39,780
All right.
274
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:41,080
But he didn't have enough money.
275
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:42,260
By the way, he lives in China.
276
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:45,800
He didn't have enough money for the iPad.
277
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:46,800
Okay.
278
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:47,640
So.
279
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:49,660
So he went to work for Foxconn and sold one?
280
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:50,280
No.
281
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:50,560
Oh.
282
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:52,780
He sold one of his kidneys.
283
00:08:54,220 --> 00:08:54,680
All right.
284
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:55,160
Sold it.
285
00:08:55,220 --> 00:08:56,200
Didn't donate it.
286
00:08:56,680 --> 00:08:57,400
In China?
287
00:08:57,540 --> 00:08:58,100
In China.
288
00:08:59,000 --> 00:08:59,400
Okay.
289
00:08:59,680 --> 00:09:00,020
All right.
290
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,960
So you got about $4,300 for the iPad.
291
00:09:03,100 --> 00:09:04,300
For a U.S. equivalent.
292
00:09:04,580 --> 00:09:05,100
A kidney.
293
00:09:05,340 --> 00:09:06,060
For a kidney.
294
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:06,420
Right.
295
00:09:06,540 --> 00:09:07,540
A single kidney.
296
00:09:07,740 --> 00:09:08,000
Okay.
297
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:09,500
Well, I can't sell both of them.
298
00:09:09,580 --> 00:09:09,860
All right.
299
00:09:10,260 --> 00:09:12,480
He's kind of regretting the move now.
300
00:09:12,620 --> 00:09:15,920
He does have an iPad and some extra spending cash.
301
00:09:16,020 --> 00:09:16,780
Some walking around cash.
302
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:18,040
Okay.
303
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:23,860
However, it turns out that the place that he went to go get his kidney removed at wasn't
304
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:25,220
equipped to deal with that type of surgery.
305
00:09:25,500 --> 00:09:25,900
Wait.
306
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:30,180
So you're actually telling me that such a place exists where you go and sell a human
307
00:09:30,180 --> 00:09:30,720
body part?
308
00:09:30,740 --> 00:09:32,540
There's a market for body parts in China.
309
00:09:32,620 --> 00:09:34,100
It wasn't a good enough place?
310
00:09:34,740 --> 00:09:37,520
Apparently, it was on like China's version of Craigslist.
311
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:38,120
What do you do?
312
00:09:38,180 --> 00:09:39,260
Wake up in a tub of ice?
313
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:40,000
No, no, no, no.
314
00:09:40,500 --> 00:09:41,820
They actually perform the procedure.
315
00:09:41,820 --> 00:09:44,480
Is this like, is this the guy that went to China to have the kidney removed?
316
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:44,840
No, no, no.
317
00:09:45,020 --> 00:09:45,560
He's from China.
318
00:09:45,780 --> 00:09:46,480
Oh, okay.
319
00:09:46,620 --> 00:09:50,240
His mom's really mad now because he's dying.
320
00:09:51,380 --> 00:09:51,780
Really?
321
00:09:51,860 --> 00:09:53,000
I mean, he's like, wow.
322
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:54,360
His health is deteriorating?
323
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,220
His health is deteriorating at a rapid clip.
324
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:56,680
Wow.
325
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:57,240
All right.
326
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:01,100
So it turns out that they didn't have the right equipment to remove.
327
00:10:02,100 --> 00:10:03,600
Can't be done with this equipment.
328
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:04,160
That's right.
329
00:10:04,820 --> 00:10:09,660
So it turns out that X-Acto knives and duct tape, not the way to go when getting a kidney
330
00:10:09,660 --> 00:10:09,940
removed.
331
00:10:10,340 --> 00:10:12,680
Just totally not cool.
332
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:14,100
Oh, wow.
333
00:10:14,260 --> 00:10:18,320
I mean, you know, I've never been to China, but I've seen lots of documentaries about
334
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:21,240
China, and I can only imagine how bad it would be.
335
00:10:21,420 --> 00:10:22,980
I mean, how, oh, I don't know.
336
00:10:22,980 --> 00:10:22,980
337
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:24,660
How sterile the conditions would have to be.
338
00:10:24,660 --> 00:10:26,280
I'm just saying the kid's got some impulse issues.
339
00:10:26,380 --> 00:10:27,440
Well, he, all right.
340
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:28,600
Yeah.
341
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:30,240
Wait, so he didn't actually need a kidney?
342
00:10:30,340 --> 00:10:31,280
He just went and got one?
343
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:32,540
Well, no, he didn't.
344
00:10:32,540 --> 00:10:33,660
No, no, he got one removed.
345
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:34,180
I mean, I think he's got the story.
346
00:10:34,180 --> 00:10:34,920
He got a kidney removed.
347
00:10:35,100 --> 00:10:35,220
He sold one.
348
00:10:35,340 --> 00:10:35,660
Yes.
349
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:37,220
Oh, he sold it.
350
00:10:37,220 --> 00:10:37,680
Right, right.
351
00:10:37,700 --> 00:10:38,280
Try to keep up here.
352
00:10:38,980 --> 00:10:40,120
Keep answering phone calls.
353
00:10:40,140 --> 00:10:40,860
You know, I have phone calls to answer.
354
00:10:41,140 --> 00:10:43,480
All right, so he had two kidneys.
355
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:44,000
Right.
356
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:45,000
But he had no iPad.
357
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:45,580
Right.
358
00:10:45,620 --> 00:10:48,000
He figured, I can get an iPad and have one kidney.
359
00:10:48,220 --> 00:10:50,500
So he sold his kidney for an iPad, and now he's dying.
360
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:50,900
Yes.
361
00:10:50,900 --> 00:10:51,060
Right.
362
00:10:51,700 --> 00:10:52,020
Got it.
363
00:10:52,300 --> 00:10:53,560
Apple kills another person.
364
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:53,860
Wow.
365
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:55,160
Wow.
366
00:10:56,100 --> 00:11:00,080
Well, on that same token, though, I have a story here about somebody who also wanted
367
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:00,760
an Apple product.
368
00:11:00,980 --> 00:11:06,080
He drove his car through an Apple window at like 5 o'clock in the morning, but he came
369
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:07,640
out of his car dressed as a ninja.
370
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:08,840
I'm not kidding.
371
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:09,740
There's pictures of it.
372
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:10,080
It's awesome.
373
00:11:10,260 --> 00:11:13,520
He's dressed as a ninja, but by the time he got in there, I guess the alarms and everything
374
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:15,880
was so crazy, he got freaked out and took off.
375
00:11:16,060 --> 00:11:17,040
He didn't even steal one thing.
376
00:11:18,940 --> 00:11:21,040
It's crazy, because this picture here, there's a car.
377
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:21,040
378
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:21,040
379
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:21,040
380
00:11:21,060 --> 00:11:25,000
He's driving through the window, and a ninja in the background was pulling a sword out.
381
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:27,420
It's hilarious.
382
00:11:27,580 --> 00:11:28,360
I'll post it on the website.
383
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:31,060
All he really wanted was applesauce.
384
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:33,320
That's what I'm saying.
385
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:36,740
You can't go running over apples.
386
00:11:36,940 --> 00:11:37,640
Oh, man.
387
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:38,880
Hilarious.
388
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:41,200
Some people, ninjas.
389
00:11:41,300 --> 00:11:42,100
All right.
390
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:43,480
Let's go ahead and take a break.
391
00:11:43,580 --> 00:11:45,020
When we get back from the break, we've got some phone calls.
392
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:48,280
We'll see what we can do to help you out with whatever technology issues happen to be plaguing
393
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:48,880
you this week.
394
00:11:49,140 --> 00:11:51,040
This is the Computer Guru Show on 104.9 FM.
395
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:51,040
396
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:51,040
397
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:51,040
398
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:51,040
399
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:51,040
400
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:51,040
401
00:11:51,060 --> 00:11:51,140
I'm Mike Pearson.
402
00:11:51,140 --> 00:11:52,780
You're listening to the Computer Guru Show on the Truth, Tucson's News Talk FM.
403
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:04,560
Geez, man.
404
00:12:04,660 --> 00:12:05,880
What do you want to do tonight?
405
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:08,800
The same thing we do every night, Pinky.
406
00:12:08,900 --> 00:12:10,680
Try to take over the world.
407
00:12:10,980 --> 00:12:12,660
The Pinky and the Brains.
408
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:14,420
It's Pinky and the Brains.
409
00:12:14,500 --> 00:12:16,100
Welcome back to the Computer Guru Show.
410
00:12:16,140 --> 00:12:18,960
My name is Mike, here to deal with your technology needs and treat you like a real person in the
411
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:19,180
process.
412
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:20,780
Got Randall over here doing his thing.
413
00:12:21,060 --> 00:12:21,840
OK.
414
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:44,380
OK.
415
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:51,040
416
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:51,040
417
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:51,040
418
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:51,040
419
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:51,040
420
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:51,040
421
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:51,040
422
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:51,040
423
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:51,040
424
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:51,040
425
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:51,040
426
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:51,040
427
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:51,040
428
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:51,040
429
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:51,040
430
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:51,040
431
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:51,040
432
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:51,040
433
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:51,040
434
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:51,040
435
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:51,040
436
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:51,040
437
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:51,040
438
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:51,040
439
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:51,040
440
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:51,040
441
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:51,040
442
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:51,040
443
00:12:51,060 --> 00:12:54,000
Call 751-1041 if you want to be a part of the show, just like Brian.
444
00:12:54,140 --> 00:12:54,620
Hey, little Brian.
445
00:12:54,780 --> 00:12:55,200
How you doing?
446
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:56,960
Uh-oh.
447
00:12:56,980 --> 00:12:58,540
I think I shocked Brian into not answering.
448
00:12:59,660 --> 00:12:59,980
Anybody?
449
00:13:00,220 --> 00:13:00,540
Anyone?
450
00:13:00,700 --> 00:13:01,640
Or maybe the name's not right.
451
00:13:01,740 --> 00:13:01,900
Bueller?
452
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:02,640
Bueller?
453
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:04,020
Anyone there on line one?
454
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:05,360
Okay, I guess not.
455
00:13:05,560 --> 00:13:06,920
Okay, so we're going to put him back on hold.
456
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:07,240
All right.
457
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:08,280
Maybe he'll come back later.
458
00:13:08,420 --> 00:13:10,660
He apparently thought it was going to take longer for me to answer.
459
00:13:11,180 --> 00:13:11,620
You know?
460
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:13,960
Did you tell him that I was going to answer his call?
461
00:13:14,780 --> 00:13:15,100
Yeah.
462
00:13:15,300 --> 00:13:15,540
Yeah?
463
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,140
Maybe he's just calling up to sit on hold.
464
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:18,760
Maybe.
465
00:13:18,940 --> 00:13:20,400
All right, so I'm going to do something real fast.
466
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:25,000
Before our caller the last two weeks calls in and starts asking about Sandy Bridge.
467
00:13:25,220 --> 00:13:25,440
Okay.
468
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:31,160
So, the last two weeks, the caller asked about Sandy Bridge versus the AMD version of Sandy Bridge.
469
00:13:31,300 --> 00:13:31,940
And you failed.
470
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:32,540
No.
471
00:13:33,140 --> 00:13:34,480
No, this week I've done it.
472
00:13:34,500 --> 00:13:35,060
I've done it.
473
00:13:35,180 --> 00:13:38,020
But the AMD version of it is called Fusion.
474
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:43,820
And I'd say if you're looking apples to apples or PC to PC, maybe.
475
00:13:43,980 --> 00:13:44,320
You fail.
476
00:13:44,420 --> 00:13:44,640
Yeah.
477
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:50,320
Anyways, if you're comparing the same ones, then yes, the AMD one is a better.
478
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,080
choice in theory.
479
00:13:53,220 --> 00:14:00,760
However, you know, the Fusion is like a comparison for an i3 of the Sandy Bridge.
480
00:14:01,100 --> 00:14:04,200
So, and I'm not a big fan of the Sandy Bridge to begin with.
481
00:14:04,560 --> 00:14:10,760
So, if you compare the Fusion compared to the i3 or even the i5 Intel, it is a little bit better.
482
00:14:10,980 --> 00:14:14,060
However, there is no real high-ends available.
483
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:14,940
You still fail.
484
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:17,540
There's really no high-end Fusions available.
485
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:19,440
And by the time they are available,
486
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,620
the next version of the Intel's is going to be out, which is going to be the Ivory Bridge.
487
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:28,620
So, once again, AMD is just one step behind Intel.
488
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:30,040
They just cannot catch up.
489
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,260
I mean, they're trying to, but they're just not there yet.
490
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:37,900
And like I said in previous calls, you know, previous weeks, I'm not a big fan of the Sandy Bridge.
491
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,720
It's like those other computer repair places in town.
492
00:14:40,980 --> 00:14:41,220
What?
493
00:14:42,140 --> 00:14:43,180
The i Intel.
494
00:14:43,420 --> 00:14:43,800
Oh.
495
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:50,120
Well, the long story short is, you know, I think Sandy Bridge is going to work great for,
496
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:57,400
for, like, the miniature PCs, for the, you know, the laptops, for these little small form factor PCs.
497
00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:01,660
When it comes to gaming and the gaming world and high-end graphics,
498
00:15:01,860 --> 00:15:04,700
I don't see Sandy Bridge taking over anytime soon.
499
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:09,400
It may be in the next two, three years maybe, but not in the next year by no means.
500
00:15:09,500 --> 00:15:13,600
So, myself, if I was looking at buying a new machine and I didn't care about the size of the machine,
501
00:15:13,740 --> 00:15:15,420
I would not do Sandy Bridge, you know.
502
00:15:15,460 --> 00:15:19,880
I would go ahead and get an actual traditional GPU and CPU, personally.
503
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:21,460
Now, what are your thoughts on it, Mike?
504
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:22,460
Do you have any thoughts on it?
505
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:26,460
It's a theme of this particular segment.
506
00:15:26,740 --> 00:15:27,320
You know, I don't like you.
507
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:28,980
You're really upsetting me.
508
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:29,200
No.
509
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:30,380
No, seriously, what do you think?
510
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:32,900
I mean, about the CPU, GPU versus Sandy Bridge.
511
00:15:33,100 --> 00:15:35,300
I mean, if you're concerned about the graphics portion of it.
512
00:15:35,380 --> 00:15:35,580
Right.
513
00:15:35,660 --> 00:15:35,860
Right.
514
00:15:35,900 --> 00:15:37,260
If you really want high-end graphics.
515
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:37,580
Right.
516
00:15:38,900 --> 00:15:41,700
Well, here's my thing, though, is that I'm torn between two different things.
517
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:46,400
One, you get better performance out of a standalone graphics card and a regular GPU.
518
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:47,020
That's correct.
519
00:15:47,100 --> 00:15:47,280
Or CPU.
520
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,240
However, the way the Sandy Bridge is connected to the CPU and GPU.
521
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:51,740
Because they're one and the same, in essence.
522
00:15:51,940 --> 00:15:52,160
Right.
523
00:15:52,300 --> 00:15:53,560
You're going to get better performance that way.
524
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:58,320
Here's what I'm thinking, though, is that if you're looking to build that machine.
525
00:15:58,540 --> 00:15:58,780
Right.
526
00:15:58,860 --> 00:15:59,000
Right.
527
00:15:59,040 --> 00:15:59,620
Moving forward.
528
00:15:59,700 --> 00:16:00,000
Right.
529
00:16:00,260 --> 00:16:01,760
You might as well get the Sandy Bridge.
530
00:16:02,300 --> 00:16:02,620
Right.
531
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:05,120
So that you are in the right processor slot, right?
532
00:16:05,180 --> 00:16:06,900
Board type to be moving forward.
533
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:07,560
Right.
534
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:07,920
Right.
535
00:16:07,940 --> 00:16:12,280
Because if you buy, let's just say, a regular, like, iCore.
536
00:16:12,420 --> 00:16:12,720
Mm-hmm.
537
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:13,160
Right.
538
00:16:14,500 --> 00:16:18,260
You're not going to be able to go anywhere with that in, let's say, a year and a half.
539
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:19,280
Right.
540
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:19,400
Right.
541
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:20,380
Because those boards are going to be gone.
542
00:16:21,420 --> 00:16:21,740
Right.
543
00:16:21,740 --> 00:16:21,740
544
00:16:21,900 --> 00:16:22,380
All right.
545
00:16:22,460 --> 00:16:22,580
All right.
546
00:16:22,580 --> 00:16:26,000
So I don't want to see somebody go out and buy, like, an i7 right now.
547
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:26,440
Mm-hmm.
548
00:16:26,500 --> 00:16:28,020
And then buy a really nice video card.
549
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:28,540
Right.
550
00:16:28,780 --> 00:16:31,580
And then a year and a half from now, they won't be able to upgrade the processor.
551
00:16:32,380 --> 00:16:32,700
Right.
552
00:16:32,700 --> 00:16:33,340
Without replacing it.
553
00:16:33,340 --> 00:16:34,640
You think the pin sets are going to be different or anything?
554
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:35,200
The pin set is different.
555
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:35,340
Yeah.
556
00:16:35,460 --> 00:16:37,440
Between the 55 and the 57.
557
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:39,160
That's assuming Sandy Bridge takes over.
558
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:40,740
I think it will.
559
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:41,300
You think so?
560
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:41,600
Yeah.
561
00:16:41,740 --> 00:16:42,760
Because they're going to move.
562
00:16:42,860 --> 00:16:45,600
Basically, they're going to move the i7 into the Sandy Bridge.
563
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:46,440
Right.
564
00:16:46,500 --> 00:16:48,880
So I think that it's going to move in that direction.
565
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:50,380
There's no reason for them.
566
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:52,640
They're going to have two separate product lines like that.
567
00:16:53,260 --> 00:16:58,840
The current Sandy Bridge is, I think, just the beta test for moving the Sandy Bridge
568
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:02,000
graphics processor, the Ivy Bridge, into the i7.
569
00:17:02,140 --> 00:17:02,360
Okay.
570
00:17:02,540 --> 00:17:02,800
All right.
571
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:09,400
So I don't think that there's any real benefit to splitting off those two product lines.
572
00:17:09,580 --> 00:17:10,000
Oh, okay.
573
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:12,160
So if you end up buying an i7 now.
574
00:17:12,420 --> 00:17:12,640
Right.
575
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:13,100
Right.
576
00:17:13,140 --> 00:17:16,860
You can get the Sandy Bridge, the i7 equivalent of the Sandy Bridge now.
577
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:17,260
Right.
578
00:17:17,300 --> 00:17:18,460
Which is a little bit slower.
579
00:17:18,620 --> 00:17:18,880
Right.
580
00:17:19,100 --> 00:17:19,540
Right.
581
00:17:19,540 --> 00:17:19,580
Right.
582
00:17:19,580 --> 00:17:19,740
Right.
583
00:17:19,740 --> 00:17:19,820
Right.
584
00:17:19,940 --> 00:17:20,380
Right.
585
00:17:20,380 --> 00:17:20,380
586
00:17:20,380 --> 00:17:20,380
587
00:17:20,380 --> 00:17:20,380
588
00:17:20,380 --> 00:17:20,380
589
00:17:20,380 --> 00:17:20,380
590
00:17:20,380 --> 00:17:20,380
591
00:17:20,380 --> 00:17:20,380
592
00:17:20,380 --> 00:17:20,380
593
00:17:20,380 --> 00:17:20,380
594
00:17:20,380 --> 00:17:20,380
595
00:17:20,380 --> 00:17:20,380
596
00:17:20,380 --> 00:17:20,380
597
00:17:20,380 --> 00:17:20,380
598
00:17:20,380 --> 00:17:20,380
599
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:20,840
Right.
600
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:20,840
601
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:20,840
602
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:20,840
603
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:20,840
604
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:20,840
605
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:20,840
606
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:20,840
607
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:20,840
608
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:20,840
609
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:23,140
That'll at least allow you to move forward upgrade-wise.
610
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:23,840
All right.
611
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:27,160
So in a year, let's say you decide that, well, I want to get a faster processor.
612
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:28,220
All right.
613
00:17:28,260 --> 00:17:29,280
Or I want DDR4.
614
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:29,780
Right.
615
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:30,240
All right.
616
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:32,560
Then, yeah, you're going to want to move.
617
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:35,020
No, I see what you're saying.
618
00:17:35,140 --> 00:17:36,340
No, I absolutely see what you're saying.
619
00:17:36,420 --> 00:17:40,740
It's just, to me, I don't see, you know, like you said, it's beta, you know, in essence.
620
00:17:41,180 --> 00:17:43,660
You know, and they've already had one recall on it.
621
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,160
I'm not saying that it's a bad setup.
622
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:47,960
I just, I don't know.
623
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:49,620
I'm just not quite convinced yet.
624
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:52,260
You know, and here's maybe my problem with this.
625
00:17:52,300 --> 00:17:52,480
Right.
626
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:56,280
And why my, this whole segment for me has just been a sort of, you know, an epic fail for you.
627
00:17:56,820 --> 00:18:00,020
Is that, is that I don't really care.
628
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:01,600
And here's the reason why.
629
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:05,460
Is that, you know, the processor debate for me is really boring.
630
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:05,940
Mm-hmm.
631
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:06,200
Right.
632
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:09,440
I find the processor debate to be like, you know, what if.
633
00:18:09,620 --> 00:18:09,980
Right.
634
00:18:10,060 --> 00:18:10,300
Right.
635
00:18:10,360 --> 00:18:13,920
It's, it's like when you go out and you buy the car.
636
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:14,520
Right.
637
00:18:14,620 --> 00:18:16,120
You know, you get an option.
638
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:16,600
Right.
639
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:19,720
Do you want it with this many cylinders or that many liters or whatever?
640
00:18:19,900 --> 00:18:20,120
Right.
641
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:21,500
I just want something that works.
642
00:18:21,700 --> 00:18:22,460
I don't really care.
643
00:18:22,660 --> 00:18:24,420
Well, I'm going to get into the nitty gritty of this thing.
644
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:26,320
I'm going to E3 next week.
645
00:18:26,580 --> 00:18:28,140
There's going to be a lot of gamers down there.
646
00:18:28,360 --> 00:18:30,760
A lot of, you know, media coverage down there.
647
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:32,280
You know, fellow gamers.
648
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:33,140
I'm going to talk to them.
649
00:18:33,180 --> 00:18:34,840
I'm going to try to get their opinions on this kind of stuff.
650
00:18:35,140 --> 00:18:37,620
I'm going to actually go, I have interviews with NVIDIA.
651
00:18:37,820 --> 00:18:40,380
I have interviews with some big wigs down there.
652
00:18:40,420 --> 00:18:44,340
So I'm going to find out, get down to the nitty gritty of this whole thing and see if I can get any more good details out of it.
653
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:45,640
Well, and here's the reason I don't really care.
654
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:47,320
Let me get back to that.
655
00:18:47,340 --> 00:18:47,840
Okay, go ahead.
656
00:18:47,900 --> 00:18:48,060
I'm sorry.
657
00:18:48,060 --> 00:18:52,080
I want to make sure that people understand why I don't care.
658
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:52,640
Okay.
659
00:18:52,700 --> 00:18:59,380
All right, five years ago, and you're looking at processors, you could see 100% increase from going from one processor to another.
660
00:18:59,580 --> 00:18:59,840
Right.
661
00:18:59,960 --> 00:19:00,160
Right.
662
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:01,220
And now you're what?
663
00:19:01,260 --> 00:19:03,020
You're going to see 5%, right?
664
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:03,200
Right.
665
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:06,700
You're going to see some really small change, right?
666
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:10,720
The performance benefit is going to be so small, it doesn't matter.
667
00:19:10,940 --> 00:19:11,160
Right.
668
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:15,240
It's a lot like when people say, well, which brand of computer should I get?
669
00:19:15,340 --> 00:19:16,620
I say, how much money are you going to spend?
670
00:19:16,700 --> 00:19:17,500
They say, $500.
671
00:19:17,500 --> 00:19:17,780
$500.
672
00:19:17,980 --> 00:19:19,260
It doesn't matter what you get.
673
00:19:19,380 --> 00:19:19,520
Right.
674
00:19:19,700 --> 00:19:21,320
They're all going to be the same at that price point.
675
00:19:21,420 --> 00:19:23,480
And the same thing is true in the processors.
676
00:19:23,780 --> 00:19:31,040
Now, if you're looking to spend $2,000 on a processor, right, then yes, there's a huge difference between different processors.
677
00:19:31,060 --> 00:19:33,260
So how many of us want to spend $2,000 on a processor?
678
00:19:33,540 --> 00:19:34,120
Next to nobody.
679
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:34,500
Exactly.
680
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:37,020
And that's why I find the whole processor debate to be so boring.
681
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:37,560
Right, right.
682
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:47,400
And I don't mean to be overly apathetic about it, but there's not enough real consequence to spend time worrying about it.
683
00:19:47,500 --> 00:19:47,840
No, I agree.
684
00:19:47,940 --> 00:19:48,240
I agree.
685
00:19:48,300 --> 00:19:48,820
I see what you're saying.
686
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:49,320
Yeah, absolutely.
687
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:53,220
And even a year ago, you were dealing with the AMD Intel stuff.
688
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:53,820
Right.
689
00:19:53,820 --> 00:19:54,020
Right.
690
00:19:54,020 --> 00:19:59,400
And then AMD was having massive overheating problems, and they were considerably slower than the Intels.
691
00:19:59,460 --> 00:19:59,720
Mm-hmm.
692
00:19:59,740 --> 00:20:00,000
All right.
693
00:20:00,060 --> 00:20:03,600
But this next generation of AMDs is going to at least bring them so that they're current.
694
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:04,500
Right.
695
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:07,600
So that they are at least sort of nearby.
696
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:08,220
Right.
697
00:20:08,300 --> 00:20:09,040
As far as the...
698
00:20:09,380 --> 00:20:10,100
They're catching up.
699
00:20:10,120 --> 00:20:12,480
As far as the speed is concerned, they are going to be a bit cheaper.
700
00:20:12,540 --> 00:20:17,380
So it's really going to come down to, do you want a budget machine, or do you want to spend a little bit more for the processor?
701
00:20:17,500 --> 00:20:18,280
It's a little bit faster.
702
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:18,740
Mm-hmm.
703
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:22,800
So for me, spending all the time on that, it's kind of like, meh, whatever.
704
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:24,160
Whatever's...
705
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:24,940
We'll stop talking about it.
706
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:25,160
All right.
707
00:20:25,300 --> 00:20:25,880
Let's talk to Frank.
708
00:20:25,980 --> 00:20:26,680
Hey, Frank, how you doing?
709
00:20:27,360 --> 00:20:28,080
Yeah, I'm good.
710
00:20:28,260 --> 00:20:29,020
How can I help you?
711
00:20:29,660 --> 00:20:32,580
Well, I was the last guy that just talked to you.
712
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:40,760
But basically, I tried turning my computer on, and it won't even actually go to Windows.
713
00:20:40,980 --> 00:20:42,140
It takes me...
714
00:20:42,140 --> 00:20:47,480
It automatically opens up the option to go into, like, safe mode.
715
00:20:47,500 --> 00:20:52,440
You know, left working mode, or just normal Windows mode.
716
00:20:52,740 --> 00:20:53,140
Okay.
717
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:59,060
And whichever one I pick, it just reboots itself.
718
00:20:59,340 --> 00:21:00,460
Okay, so it's getting a blue screen.
719
00:21:01,140 --> 00:21:05,760
Yeah, I'm getting a blue screen that pops up really quick, and then it goes away, and then I go right back.
720
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:06,620
How old is the machine?
721
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:10,720
About eight years old, nine.
722
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:11,400
All right.
723
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:12,820
I bet you have bad hard drives.
724
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:14,120
Well, it could be.
725
00:21:14,140 --> 00:21:15,400
It could be the infection's correct.
726
00:21:15,620 --> 00:21:17,200
This is the guy who called it the virus infection.
727
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:17,400
Yeah.
728
00:21:17,500 --> 00:21:19,540
And infections kill hard drives, like, all day long.
729
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:22,500
Either way, though, this is going to be beyond your repair, I'm thinking.
730
00:21:23,100 --> 00:21:24,720
Either way, you're going to need to bring it down to a shop.
731
00:21:24,740 --> 00:21:25,340
Bring it down to us.
732
00:21:25,340 --> 00:21:28,020
We can do a diagnostic and find out exactly what's going on for you.
733
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:29,480
Okay.
734
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:30,020
All right.
735
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:32,420
We're looking at 2700 North Campbell, just south of Glynn.
736
00:21:33,180 --> 00:21:33,460
Okay.
737
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:34,400
Thanks for the call, Frank.
738
00:21:34,460 --> 00:21:34,900
Appreciate it.
739
00:21:34,940 --> 00:21:35,660
We've got to do some news.
740
00:21:35,740 --> 00:21:38,080
If you'd like to be part of the show, 751-1041.
741
00:21:38,620 --> 00:21:41,780
We'd love to help you out with whatever technology issues are plaguing you today.
742
00:21:42,260 --> 00:21:43,440
This is the Computer Guru Show.
743
00:21:43,540 --> 00:21:44,760
We'll be right back after the news.
744
00:21:58,500 --> 00:22:01,680
We'll be right back.
745
00:22:06,700 --> 00:22:15,540
We'll be right back.
746
00:22:18,060 --> 00:22:18,980
Oh, please stop.
747
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:25,200
Yeah, I watched all five seasons of The Wire on HBO Go on the iPad.
748
00:22:25,460 --> 00:22:25,720
Really?
749
00:22:25,820 --> 00:22:26,040
Yeah.
750
00:22:26,700 --> 00:22:28,220
I've never seen one episode of The Wire.
751
00:22:28,460 --> 00:22:29,840
It turns out it's a really great show.
752
00:22:30,100 --> 00:22:31,740
It took you five seasons to figure that out?
753
00:22:31,900 --> 00:22:32,640
Well, it's over now.
754
00:22:32,740 --> 00:22:33,800
It was all five seasons.
755
00:22:33,860 --> 00:22:34,320
Oh, okay.
756
00:22:34,460 --> 00:22:35,780
They ended the series.
757
00:22:35,980 --> 00:22:36,220
Yeah.
758
00:22:36,380 --> 00:22:40,560
And it turns out that it will dramatically affect the way that you speak to people around you.
759
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:42,720
What is the show about?
760
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:43,440
I've never even heard of it.
761
00:22:43,580 --> 00:22:46,140
It's about a detective in Boston.
762
00:22:46,140 --> 00:22:49,740
He's working on drug-related cases and stuff.
763
00:22:49,940 --> 00:22:51,280
So it's like CSI Miami or something?
764
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:53,260
It's like one of those CSI shows.
765
00:22:53,940 --> 00:22:58,480
Except for he doesn't pull his glasses off all the time and music screams in the back.
766
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:00,440
Yeah.
767
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:00,820
Yeah.
768
00:23:00,940 --> 00:23:01,980
Well, let's talk to Clayton.
769
00:23:01,980 --> 00:23:03,900
If you'd like to be part of the show, 751-1041.
770
00:23:04,260 --> 00:23:05,000
Hello, Clayton.
771
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:05,300
How are you?
772
00:23:05,540 --> 00:23:06,060
Hey, Mike.
773
00:23:06,100 --> 00:23:06,620
How are you doing today?
774
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:07,480
Getting there, man.
775
00:23:08,340 --> 00:23:09,800
Just had a quick question for you.
776
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:11,880
I just finished doing a gaming rig build yesterday.
777
00:23:12,220 --> 00:23:12,560
Okay.
778
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:16,040
And I bought an AMD Phenom II.
779
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:17,360
1100T processor.
780
00:23:17,740 --> 00:23:18,060
Okay.
781
00:23:18,260 --> 00:23:22,220
And I'm just wondering, do I need to use the core unlocker feature on my motherboard
782
00:23:22,220 --> 00:23:24,660
or are all six cores already unlocked with this processor?
783
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:26,600
What version of operating system is it?
784
00:23:27,260 --> 00:23:28,960
XP7 Professional 64-bit.
785
00:23:29,180 --> 00:23:29,640
Hold on.
786
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:31,300
You just listed two of them.
787
00:23:31,340 --> 00:23:31,760
Which one is it?
788
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:32,240
I'm sorry.
789
00:23:32,340 --> 00:23:33,280
Windows 7 64.
790
00:23:34,220 --> 00:23:34,820
You're fine.
791
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:35,560
All right.
792
00:23:35,820 --> 00:23:40,540
As long as your processors actually show up in the device manager.
793
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:41,480
Yeah, it did.
794
00:23:41,540 --> 00:23:42,440
It said it was a six core.
795
00:23:42,820 --> 00:23:43,440
You're fine.
796
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:44,000
Then you're fine.
797
00:23:44,540 --> 00:23:44,980
Perfect.
798
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:45,740
Perfect.
799
00:23:46,140 --> 00:23:46,820
You'll have to worry about that.
800
00:23:46,820 --> 00:23:47,240
I think you need to know the answer.
801
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:48,780
I was just kind of worried about it.
802
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:50,600
Well, it's six cores.
803
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:51,640
You got to make sure they're all going.
804
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:52,120
Absolutely.
805
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:52,640
Yeah, exactly.
806
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:53,880
Why get it if I can't use them?
807
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:54,320
Exactly.
808
00:23:54,540 --> 00:23:55,060
That's right.
809
00:23:55,140 --> 00:24:00,660
So what made you choose the AMD just because we were having this processor debate earlier?
810
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:03,440
It's more the price point, really.
811
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:09,800
The six core intels right now, I mean, I really like the Sandy Bridge stuff, but it's just
812
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:14,140
I can get a 3.3 gigahertz six core for 200 bucks.
813
00:24:14,260 --> 00:24:14,480
Right.
814
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:14,700
Yeah.
815
00:24:14,700 --> 00:24:16,240
The intels are much more expensive.
816
00:24:16,420 --> 00:24:18,340
Yeah, but the boards are more expensive on the AMD side.
817
00:24:18,380 --> 00:24:18,660
This is true.
818
00:24:19,300 --> 00:24:21,580
Yeah, but I mean, it's not that much more expensive.
819
00:24:21,580 --> 00:24:26,120
It's not the difference between the AMD processor and the intel as compared to the boards.
820
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:30,280
And being a college student, I can't exactly be going out and getting top of the line all
821
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:30,580
the time.
822
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:31,640
Right.
823
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:32,560
No bleeding edge for you?
824
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:33,200
Yeah.
825
00:24:33,580 --> 00:24:33,940
Okay.
826
00:24:34,300 --> 00:24:34,820
All right.
827
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:35,180
Well, great.
828
00:24:35,360 --> 00:24:36,760
I'm glad we answered your question.
829
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:37,920
Yeah, I appreciate it.
830
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:38,360
Have a nice day.
831
00:24:38,500 --> 00:24:40,680
That's a perfect example of what you were just saying, though.
832
00:24:40,780 --> 00:24:44,680
You know, why this whole Sandy Bridge fusion thing was not really going to matter.
833
00:24:44,700 --> 00:24:47,840
Because it is really, the bottom line, it's about price point.
834
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:48,740
Well, you know what they say.
835
00:24:48,900 --> 00:24:49,700
It's all about money.
836
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:50,040
Right.
837
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:53,900
Everything that you do in America is about money.
838
00:24:54,060 --> 00:24:54,220
Yeah.
839
00:24:54,340 --> 00:24:54,740
All right.
840
00:24:54,780 --> 00:24:59,780
So it's even those guys that are attacking the apples, which we're still going to get
841
00:24:59,780 --> 00:24:59,920
to.
842
00:24:59,940 --> 00:25:01,320
We're going to grab one more call here.
843
00:25:01,340 --> 00:25:01,840
Let's talk to Eric.
844
00:25:01,900 --> 00:25:02,240
Hey, Eric.
845
00:25:02,260 --> 00:25:02,560
How you doing?
846
00:25:03,020 --> 00:25:03,780
Hey, doing good.
847
00:25:03,860 --> 00:25:04,460
How you doing, man?
848
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:04,880
Good.
849
00:25:05,820 --> 00:25:07,480
Hey, you said about the wire?
850
00:25:07,660 --> 00:25:07,940
Yeah.
851
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:08,940
It's Baltimore.
852
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:10,020
Oh, it's Baltimore.
853
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:10,540
Yeah.
854
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:10,780
Okay.
855
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:11,140
I'm sorry.
856
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:11,420
Yeah.
857
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:11,680
Yeah.
858
00:25:11,860 --> 00:25:13,220
Greatest show ever, by the way.
859
00:25:13,360 --> 00:25:13,680
Really?
860
00:25:14,300 --> 00:25:14,620
Why?
861
00:25:14,700 --> 00:25:14,960
Very good.
862
00:25:15,060 --> 00:25:15,660
I liked it.
863
00:25:15,740 --> 00:25:16,380
I have to admit.
864
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:17,360
Yeah.
865
00:25:17,380 --> 00:25:17,940
I'll check it out.
866
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:18,760
Homicide.
867
00:25:19,500 --> 00:25:19,780
Yeah.
868
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:20,400
Homicide detective.
869
00:25:20,980 --> 00:25:21,260
Yeah.
870
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:23,460
Well, Homicide Life on the Street, that series.
871
00:25:24,060 --> 00:25:24,520
Hey, guys.
872
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:25,720
Excellent.
873
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:26,680
Yeah.
874
00:25:26,740 --> 00:25:27,540
I'll have to check it out.
875
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,020
I haven't looked at it at all, but I'll have to check it out.
876
00:25:30,140 --> 00:25:30,900
Thanks for the call, Eric.
877
00:25:31,140 --> 00:25:31,640
Hey, no problem.
878
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:31,980
Have a good day.
879
00:25:32,940 --> 00:25:35,640
Right now, you know what episodes, seasons I'm watching right now?
880
00:25:35,700 --> 00:25:35,880
What?
881
00:25:36,020 --> 00:25:36,300
Buffy.
882
00:25:36,900 --> 00:25:38,320
You're watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer?
883
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:39,380
I've never seen it in the original.
884
00:25:39,620 --> 00:25:41,080
My wife's like, oh, it's such a good show.
885
00:25:41,140 --> 00:25:41,640
You've got to watch it.
886
00:25:41,660 --> 00:25:42,260
I'm like, all right.
887
00:25:42,260 --> 00:25:42,440
All right.
888
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:43,140
I'll give it a shot.
889
00:25:43,460 --> 00:25:43,880
I know.
890
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:45,240
How can I be called a nerd?
891
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:46,560
I've never seen an episode of Buffy before.
892
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:47,660
I know, but I'm watching him now.
893
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:49,180
I've never seen one either.
894
00:25:49,340 --> 00:25:49,480
Really?
895
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:49,980
I just refuse to.
896
00:25:50,120 --> 00:25:52,880
Oh, all the freaking nerds all say, Buffy's so great.
897
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:54,900
So I'm watching him now.
898
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:56,340
Yeah, I know, right?
899
00:25:56,740 --> 00:25:57,060
Terrible.
900
00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:58,900
I am in stunned silence over it.
901
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:01,600
Can't hardly believe it.
902
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:02,360
I don't know.
903
00:26:02,380 --> 00:26:05,320
If you're going to watch something that's all about vampires and stuff, my personal
904
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:06,360
choice is Supernatural.
905
00:26:07,100 --> 00:26:11,640
You know, next thing I hear, you're going to be like replaying.
906
00:26:12,260 --> 00:26:13,500
Like New Moon or whatever.
907
00:26:13,860 --> 00:26:14,100
Oh, yeah.
908
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:15,880
My wife loves the Twilight stuff, man.
909
00:26:15,900 --> 00:26:16,460
Let me tell you.
910
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:16,980
God.
911
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:20,320
I've seen each one of those movies once.
912
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:21,860
That's it.
913
00:26:21,980 --> 00:26:22,880
All right.
914
00:26:22,900 --> 00:26:30,500
So the government, antitrust regulators, are a little nervous about the Nortel patents
915
00:26:30,500 --> 00:26:32,420
that are up for auction here pretty soon.
916
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:33,020
Okay.
917
00:26:33,020 --> 00:26:33,860
Do you know anything about this?
918
00:26:33,900 --> 00:26:34,760
I know nothing about it.
919
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:35,800
Do you know who Nortel is?
920
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:36,680
Who is Nortel?
921
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:40,500
Nortel was a gigantic phone provider.
922
00:26:40,740 --> 00:26:41,180
Okay.
923
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:41,400
Right?
924
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:42,240
They made...
925
00:26:42,260 --> 00:26:43,900
They made huge phone networks and...
926
00:26:43,900 --> 00:26:44,620
Like Qualcomm?
927
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:45,800
Kind of.
928
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:46,100
Okay.
929
00:26:46,100 --> 00:26:46,260
Right?
930
00:26:46,900 --> 00:26:48,360
But they made like...
931
00:26:48,360 --> 00:26:52,480
Like if you go down to like, say, Star Pass or whatever, the resort, all their phones
932
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:53,260
down there are Nortel.
933
00:26:53,360 --> 00:26:53,960
Oh, okay.
934
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,100
They built gigantic PBXs.
935
00:26:56,180 --> 00:26:56,400
Right.
936
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:57,840
And did a bunch of other stuff, too.
937
00:26:58,220 --> 00:26:59,920
Well, they're defunct now.
938
00:27:00,020 --> 00:27:00,840
They're out of business.
939
00:27:00,980 --> 00:27:02,920
And they're auctioning off a...
940
00:27:04,100 --> 00:27:05,280
Their old patents?
941
00:27:05,500 --> 00:27:06,080
All their patents.
942
00:27:06,300 --> 00:27:06,540
Okay.
943
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:07,740
6,000 patents.
944
00:27:08,100 --> 00:27:08,500
Wow.
945
00:27:08,820 --> 00:27:09,400
All right?
946
00:27:10,260 --> 00:27:11,460
Guess who's bidding on it?
947
00:27:11,620 --> 00:27:12,160
All right?
948
00:27:12,260 --> 00:27:14,120
You got three people that are bidding on it.
949
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:14,420
Google.
950
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:15,260
You got Google?
951
00:27:15,420 --> 00:27:15,720
Really?
952
00:27:15,820 --> 00:27:16,200
Oh, wow.
953
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:16,660
Nice guess.
954
00:27:16,900 --> 00:27:17,060
Wow.
955
00:27:17,180 --> 00:27:17,980
You got Apple?
956
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:20,100
And Microsoft.
957
00:27:20,300 --> 00:27:21,500
No, Microsoft's not...
958
00:27:21,500 --> 00:27:22,620
Apparently not interested.
959
00:27:23,120 --> 00:27:23,520
Facebook.
960
00:27:24,700 --> 00:27:26,680
Yeah, wouldn't that be funny?
961
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:27,880
No.
962
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:30,580
Here's the thing.
963
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:32,520
Research in Motion is the third, by the way.
964
00:27:32,580 --> 00:27:32,900
Really?
965
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:33,360
Okay.
966
00:27:33,500 --> 00:27:33,700
All right.
967
00:27:33,740 --> 00:27:35,040
So the people who make the BlackBerrys.
968
00:27:35,060 --> 00:27:35,540
BlackBerrys, right.
969
00:27:36,140 --> 00:27:42,020
They were initially upset, saying, well, if Google gets these, all right, there could
970
00:27:42,020 --> 00:27:42,640
be a problem.
971
00:27:42,780 --> 00:27:43,020
Right.
972
00:27:43,180 --> 00:27:43,400
Right?
973
00:27:43,540 --> 00:27:46,860
One of the patents that Nortel owns is the LTE technology.
974
00:27:47,380 --> 00:27:47,980
Oh, really?
975
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:48,520
Yes.
976
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:49,280
They own the LTE.
977
00:27:49,360 --> 00:27:49,660
Wow.
978
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:51,040
So they just pulled that away from Apple.
979
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:57,480
Well, if Apple gets it, it gives them an uncompetitive or an unfair advantage in the wireless networks.
980
00:27:57,720 --> 00:27:59,660
Well, if any one of them get it, if you think about it.
981
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:02,920
Well, here's the deal, is that Microsoft's not interested.
982
00:28:03,100 --> 00:28:03,500
Right.
983
00:28:03,540 --> 00:28:04,640
Because they've already got...
984
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:09,520
If you look at the number of patents that each of these companies have, the true elephant
985
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:10,440
in the room is Microsoft.
986
00:28:10,460 --> 00:28:11,060
Is Microsoft, right.
987
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:11,280
Yeah.
988
00:28:11,340 --> 00:28:11,780
They got like...
989
00:28:11,780 --> 00:28:13,040
They have like 16,000 patents.
990
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:13,560
Right.
991
00:28:13,580 --> 00:28:13,940
Right.
992
00:28:14,100 --> 00:28:15,340
But Google's by catching up.
993
00:28:15,500 --> 00:28:15,840
And...
994
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:17,600
No, Google has 1,000.
995
00:28:17,660 --> 00:28:18,140
Is that all?
996
00:28:18,340 --> 00:28:18,560
That's it.
997
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:19,660
Of all the companies that they buy?
998
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:20,320
Right.
999
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:21,680
They have 1,000 patents.
1000
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:22,160
Wow.
1001
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:27,680
Now, here's the deal, is that Microsoft, in addition to the 16,000 that they own, has
1002
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:29,980
licensing rights to another 20,000.
1003
00:28:30,100 --> 00:28:30,400
Ah.
1004
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:35,340
Most of which, even the LTE one, Microsoft has a licensing right to.
1005
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:35,760
Right.
1006
00:28:35,780 --> 00:28:35,980
Right.
1007
00:28:35,980 --> 00:28:40,280
So, no matter who buys the bundle of...
1008
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:41,120
Microsoft.
1009
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:41,440
Microsoft.
1010
00:28:41,780 --> 00:28:42,440
Microsoft is making money.
1011
00:28:42,540 --> 00:28:43,800
So, Microsoft doesn't care.
1012
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:44,180
Right.
1013
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:50,640
But the reason that they're worried about it is that even though it would potentially
1014
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:53,920
give Google an unfair advantage...
1015
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:54,060
Right.
1016
00:28:54,100 --> 00:28:58,440
Google has never seriously gone after anyone for patent infringement, ever.
1017
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:02,140
Well, I think they would, though, if it was Apple.
1018
00:29:02,540 --> 00:29:03,780
Now, Apple...
1019
00:29:03,780 --> 00:29:04,100
Right.
1020
00:29:04,220 --> 00:29:05,140
On the other hand...
1021
00:29:05,140 --> 00:29:05,980
Goes after everybody.
1022
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:06,480
Right.
1023
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:07,880
They are on the ball.
1024
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:10,640
Now, they're concerned about Microsoft, too, because Microsoft doesn't play around when
1025
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:11,240
it comes to the patents.
1026
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:11,980
They do own.
1027
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:12,340
Right.
1028
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:12,840
Right.
1029
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:13,500
And they will...
1030
00:29:13,500 --> 00:29:14,680
They will throw down.
1031
00:29:14,860 --> 00:29:15,560
Yes, they will.
1032
00:29:16,020 --> 00:29:18,140
They have a gigantic pool of lawyers.
1033
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:21,040
I don't think RIM has a chance at all to get this.
1034
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:22,440
I mean, if you get the three big...
1035
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:24,140
If you get the three ones that you're talking about, RIM...
1036
00:29:24,140 --> 00:29:27,060
Google put down the opening bid for $900 million.
1037
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:29,720
$900 million for 6,000 patents?
1038
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:30,140
Right.
1039
00:29:30,260 --> 00:29:30,660
Wow.
1040
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:31,200
All right.
1041
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:33,280
So, the opening bid at $900 million.
1042
00:29:33,820 --> 00:29:34,220
Uh-huh.
1043
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:35,880
Now, here's my problem with the whole thing.
1044
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:36,600
Right?
1045
00:29:36,700 --> 00:29:40,260
As a person who has invented things in the past...
1046
00:29:40,260 --> 00:29:40,880
Right.
1047
00:29:40,940 --> 00:29:41,180
Right.
1048
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:45,700
I have a couple of inventions, and I've never gone around the whole patent thing.
1049
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:46,080
Right.
1050
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:50,020
But I think secondary markets for patents are baloney.
1051
00:29:50,580 --> 00:29:50,980
Right?
1052
00:29:51,020 --> 00:29:51,560
They're bogus.
1053
00:29:51,700 --> 00:29:52,100
Okay.
1054
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:53,780
And here's why I think so.
1055
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:58,840
Is that the innovator, the person who actually came up with the idea, should have the right
1056
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:00,560
to patent it for a limited amount of time.
1057
00:30:01,060 --> 00:30:01,460
Right?
1058
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:05,300
So, you have this patent that's out there for, let's say, 10 years.
1059
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:05,820
Okay.
1060
00:30:05,860 --> 00:30:06,100
Right?
1061
00:30:06,140 --> 00:30:09,880
And that's shorter than the current patent anyway, which is you get a 20-year patent.
1062
00:30:10,100 --> 00:30:10,380
Right.
1063
00:30:10,380 --> 00:30:10,480
Right.
1064
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:11,600
And then you can renew.
1065
00:30:12,020 --> 00:30:12,340
Right?
1066
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:14,880
I think that they should abolish the renewal process.
1067
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:19,840
I think that it needs to be a massive patent overhaul as far as the way that U.S. deals
1068
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:20,080
with patents.
1069
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:22,160
So, you think after 20 years, they shouldn't be allowed to renew the patent?
1070
00:30:22,300 --> 00:30:22,480
No.
1071
00:30:22,540 --> 00:30:23,560
So, it should be just open claim.
1072
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:23,980
Yeah.
1073
00:30:24,060 --> 00:30:24,900
The thing is...
1074
00:30:24,900 --> 00:30:25,300
Public domain.
1075
00:30:25,380 --> 00:30:30,600
What the patent does is it protects other people from profiting from your idea for a
1076
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:31,260
certain amount of time.
1077
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:32,880
And you think there should only be a 20-year limit on that?
1078
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:33,000
Yeah.
1079
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:33,400
I think so.
1080
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:39,960
Because I think that after 20 years, right, or 10 years even, right, that it's your product,
1081
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:41,960
your product is sort of common knowledge at that point.
1082
00:30:41,980 --> 00:30:44,480
Well, you know, I can see what you're saying, especially in the technology world.
1083
00:30:44,500 --> 00:30:46,340
After 20 years, it's going to avoid it anyways.
1084
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:49,660
But you got to think about when patents first came out, and even today, though.
1085
00:30:49,740 --> 00:30:51,360
I mean, for example, Velcro.
1086
00:30:52,100 --> 00:30:52,420
Right.
1087
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:56,580
The guy who made Velcro, patent that thing, what, 40 years, 50 years ago at least?
1088
00:30:56,860 --> 00:30:59,240
He still owns a patent, or at least his family still does.
1089
00:30:59,440 --> 00:30:59,700
Right.
1090
00:30:59,880 --> 00:31:01,280
And so, he makes money off everything.
1091
00:31:01,420 --> 00:31:04,300
I think he should have the right to that, even after the 20 years is up.
1092
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:07,280
Well, I mean, if you're using the same technology, sure.
1093
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:08,760
Velcro's not going to change.
1094
00:31:08,820 --> 00:31:09,780
I mean, it is what it is.
1095
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:13,140
The thing is, though, is I think it stifles, you know, creativity.
1096
00:31:13,540 --> 00:31:13,900
Okay.
1097
00:31:14,020 --> 00:31:14,200
Right?
1098
00:31:14,220 --> 00:31:18,040
I think that if after 10 years, you let everybody start making it, then somebody will find a
1099
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:18,760
way to do it better.
1100
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:19,180
Okay.
1101
00:31:19,340 --> 00:31:19,720
All right?
1102
00:31:19,900 --> 00:31:22,060
Now, and maybe it's just me.
1103
00:31:22,100 --> 00:31:24,120
I'm not terribly greedy about the cash part of it.
1104
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:24,400
Right.
1105
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:24,720
Right.
1106
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:26,660
And don't get me wrong.
1107
00:31:26,700 --> 00:31:31,820
I know people who, like, are invented, like, the cellular technology, right?
1108
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:34,320
And these guys are rolling in dough.
1109
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:34,800
Yeah.
1110
00:31:34,860 --> 00:31:35,160
Right?
1111
00:31:35,220 --> 00:31:37,460
And that's great for them.
1112
00:31:37,500 --> 00:31:38,100
It really is.
1113
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:38,960
Right.
1114
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:39,120
Right.
1115
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:39,400
Right.
1116
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:39,420
Right.
1117
00:31:39,420 --> 00:31:39,420
1118
00:31:39,420 --> 00:31:39,420
1119
00:31:39,420 --> 00:31:39,420
1120
00:31:39,420 --> 00:31:39,420
1121
00:31:39,460 --> 00:31:39,460
1122
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:39,920
1123
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:39,920
1124
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:39,920
1125
00:31:39,940 --> 00:31:39,940
1126
00:31:39,940 --> 00:31:39,940
1127
00:31:39,940 --> 00:31:41,720
And it can allow people to expand upon ideas.
1128
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:42,720
Right?
1129
00:31:43,100 --> 00:31:48,920
You can find a new way to do things, and you can't do that, at least, the way it works
1130
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:52,080
right now is that I can go ahead and come up with an alternative to Velcro.
1131
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:52,720
Right.
1132
00:31:52,740 --> 00:31:52,960
Right?
1133
00:31:53,020 --> 00:31:54,660
As long as I can produce it myself.
1134
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:55,760
Right?
1135
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:56,900
And which I'm not doing.
1136
00:31:57,140 --> 00:32:01,480
Well, see, a patent doesn't prevent you from improving a current product, though.
1137
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:05,620
See, somebody can own a patent to something, and then you can go ahead and try to make
1138
00:32:05,620 --> 00:32:06,680
an improvement to said patent.
1139
00:32:06,820 --> 00:32:07,140
Right.
1140
00:32:07,140 --> 00:32:09,320
And then all you have to do is just give a licensing.
1141
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:12,880
A licensing fee to the person who made the original product.
1142
00:32:13,100 --> 00:32:13,220
Right.
1143
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:15,280
Well, here's my issue with this.
1144
00:32:15,340 --> 00:32:15,560
Okay.
1145
00:32:15,660 --> 00:32:19,440
Is that I think that the backyard inventors, you know, people like me.
1146
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:19,800
Right.
1147
00:32:20,140 --> 00:32:24,500
We have no hope of making improvements to things that really have a huge or significant
1148
00:32:24,500 --> 00:32:26,080
impact on society.
1149
00:32:26,300 --> 00:32:26,520
Okay.
1150
00:32:26,820 --> 00:32:31,040
And if you allow the larger companies, the people with research and development, you
1151
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:35,320
know, budgets, to go out and say, okay, it's been 10 years, let's try to build it better.
1152
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:35,780
Right.
1153
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:36,000
Right.
1154
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:39,300
And you have more players in the game with more money in the game.
1155
00:32:39,300 --> 00:32:39,300
1156
00:32:39,300 --> 00:32:39,300
1157
00:32:39,300 --> 00:32:39,300
1158
00:32:39,300 --> 00:32:39,300
1159
00:32:39,300 --> 00:32:39,300
1160
00:32:39,300 --> 00:32:39,300
1161
00:32:39,300 --> 00:32:39,300
1162
00:32:39,300 --> 00:32:39,300
1163
00:32:39,300 --> 00:32:39,300
1164
00:32:39,300 --> 00:32:39,300
1165
00:32:39,300 --> 00:32:39,300
1166
00:32:39,300 --> 00:32:39,300
1167
00:32:39,300 --> 00:32:39,300
1168
00:32:39,300 --> 00:32:39,300
1169
00:32:39,300 --> 00:32:39,300
1170
00:32:39,300 --> 00:32:39,300
1171
00:32:39,300 --> 00:32:41,560
Then you're going to get a better product out of it.
1172
00:32:41,580 --> 00:32:41,640
Okay.
1173
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:41,840
All right.
1174
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:42,360
I can see that.
1175
00:32:42,500 --> 00:32:42,680
Yeah.
1176
00:32:42,780 --> 00:32:45,680
So I think the secondary market for patents is ridiculous.
1177
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:47,720
And I know it's not terribly computer related.
1178
00:32:47,860 --> 00:32:48,060
Right.
1179
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:48,360
Right.
1180
00:32:48,500 --> 00:32:49,840
But we're going to get to that.
1181
00:32:50,700 --> 00:32:53,140
You know, because Apple owns a whole bunch of patents.
1182
00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:53,540
Right.
1183
00:32:53,580 --> 00:32:53,800
Right.
1184
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:56,920
And they're patenting stuff all the time, like crazy.
1185
00:32:57,120 --> 00:32:57,520
Right.
1186
00:32:57,540 --> 00:33:03,340
So they've got, I forget how many patents they've got right now, a few thousand.
1187
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:03,800
Right.
1188
00:33:03,900 --> 00:33:04,160
Right.
1189
00:33:04,340 --> 00:33:07,520
Maybe 7,000, 8,000 patents or something like that.
1190
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:07,900
Mm-hmm.
1191
00:33:08,180 --> 00:33:08,580
Yeah.
1192
00:33:08,580 --> 00:33:15,820
And if they manage to get a hold of this Nortel patent stuff, right, then what you're really
1193
00:33:15,820 --> 00:33:21,920
looking at is that they're going to become a dominant player as far as their ability
1194
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:24,720
to go out and sue everybody for using their technology.
1195
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:25,800
More so than they already do.
1196
00:33:25,980 --> 00:33:26,320
Right.
1197
00:33:26,340 --> 00:33:26,580
Right.
1198
00:33:26,580 --> 00:33:30,720
And my other issue with the secondary patents is that if you are a company that owns a bunch
1199
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:35,000
of patents and you didn't leverage that properly and you end up going out of business, it's
1200
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:35,480
fair game.
1201
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:35,880
Right.
1202
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:36,260
Right.
1203
00:33:38,580 --> 00:33:42,320
And you're not going to be able to say, okay, well, I have these patents here, these things
1204
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:47,120
that I created, and just because I don't know how to use them, I can let somebody else buy
1205
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:47,300
them up.
1206
00:33:47,340 --> 00:33:52,380
Well, you also get these people who sit there and they come up with an idea, they patent
1207
00:33:52,380 --> 00:33:53,380
it and they sit on it.
1208
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:54,260
They don't even try to make it.
1209
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:55,220
They don't even put it out to the public.
1210
00:33:55,700 --> 00:33:56,020
Yeah.
1211
00:33:56,100 --> 00:33:57,260
And that happens all the time.
1212
00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:00,780
And then somebody does come up with that said product, and that guy, he just sits there
1213
00:34:00,780 --> 00:34:02,140
and waits and waits and waits.
1214
00:34:02,260 --> 00:34:08,460
For example, I'm not saying this is what Cisco did, but Cisco came up with, in the 80s, I
1215
00:34:08,460 --> 00:34:11,320
think it was late 80s, early 90s, they came up with an item and they called it the iPhone.
1216
00:34:11,940 --> 00:34:12,220
Right.
1217
00:34:12,420 --> 00:34:12,700
Okay?
1218
00:34:13,180 --> 00:34:14,460
And they didn't go anywhere.
1219
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:18,160
And then Apple came up with the iPhone and Cisco just waited for a few years and then
1220
00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:20,100
they threw the heck out of Apple before they named iPhone.
1221
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:21,360
Well, they got some money out of it.
1222
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:21,840
They sure did.
1223
00:34:22,020 --> 00:34:22,780
We got to take a break.
1224
00:34:22,820 --> 00:34:25,400
When we get back from the break, we'll see what we can do to help you out with whatever
1225
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:26,880
technology issues you may be having.
1226
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:29,540
751-1041 if you'd like to be part of the show.
1227
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:33,440
This is the Computer Guru Show on 104.1 The Truth, Tucson's News Talk FM.
1228
00:34:57,580 --> 00:34:59,100
Welcome back to the Computer Guru Show.
1229
00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:02,180
My name's Mike, here to deal with your technology needs and treat you like a real person in
1230
00:35:02,180 --> 00:35:02,680
the process.
1231
00:35:03,020 --> 00:35:04,220
That's what we're going to do.
1232
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:05,360
We're going to be nice to you.
1233
00:35:05,620 --> 00:35:06,060
Are we?
1234
00:35:06,140 --> 00:35:06,420
Yeah.
1235
00:35:06,580 --> 00:35:07,240
That's no fun.
1236
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:10,260
All right, so you had something earlier that you were talking about.
1237
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:10,880
Oh, yeah.
1238
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:15,180
This has nothing to do with technology whatsoever, but I saw this and I just, oh, I have to talk
1239
00:35:15,180 --> 00:35:16,120
about this real briefly.
1240
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:17,060
Because you were incensed.
1241
00:35:17,220 --> 00:35:17,580
Yes.
1242
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:18,200
Enraged.
1243
00:35:18,240 --> 00:35:22,280
Okay, so apparently there's been a law in the books since 2008 saying you are not allowed
1244
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:26,760
in Washington, D.C., saying you are not allowed to dance at a memorial, you know, like a Jefferson
1245
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:28,340
Memorial, you know, Lincoln Memorial.
1246
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:29,220
You're not allowed to dance.
1247
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:31,320
So apparently there's a precedence for this.
1248
00:35:31,720 --> 00:35:32,960
Somebody call up Kevin Bacon.
1249
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:33,340
Yeah.
1250
00:35:33,420 --> 00:35:35,140
Well, actually, that's part of this.
1251
00:35:35,220 --> 00:35:36,020
But anyways.
1252
00:35:36,140 --> 00:35:36,500
So.
1253
00:35:36,500 --> 00:35:41,700
So there's a group of protesters that heard about this, you know, and they said, well,
1254
00:35:41,700 --> 00:35:42,060
you know what?
1255
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:46,400
On Memorial Day, we're going to go to the Jefferson Memorial with our iPods, put our
1256
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:50,020
iPod plugs in our ears and listen to the music and just shuffle, do a light dance.
1257
00:35:50,260 --> 00:35:50,620
Right.
1258
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:51,880
So that's exactly what they did.
1259
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:53,700
And they brought like four cameras with them.
1260
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:56,300
You know, they shot from every angle.
1261
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:57,640
If you go to YouTube, you can pull it up.
1262
00:35:57,740 --> 00:35:59,560
It's all over the YouTube right now.
1263
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:02,620
But these guys are seriously just doing a little shuffle.
1264
00:36:02,620 --> 00:36:05,860
They're not disturbing anybody, doing nothing wrong, but just doing a little shuffle.
1265
00:36:05,860 --> 00:36:11,660
And these cops, I'm not kidding, five, six, seven cops came out of nowhere and just took
1266
00:36:11,660 --> 00:36:15,820
them to the ground, pushing the cameraman's camera man around, telling the cameraman that
1267
00:36:15,820 --> 00:36:17,920
they're going to arrest him if they keep on recording their actions.
1268
00:36:18,300 --> 00:36:22,440
I mean, obviously, the cops know that they have something to hide because they're telling
1269
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:25,340
the cameraman to turn off the cameras for recording their actions.
1270
00:36:25,660 --> 00:36:27,440
I mean, this is just absolutely ridiculous.
1271
00:36:27,580 --> 00:36:29,820
I mean, there is no way that this is going to hold up in court.
1272
00:36:30,020 --> 00:36:33,820
I mean, the irony behind this is it's I was at the Jefferson Memorial.
1273
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:34,960
One of the guys.
1274
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:35,720
One of our finding.
1275
00:36:35,860 --> 00:36:41,860
Founding fathers who said who loves the the freedom to express oneself, you know, and
1276
00:36:41,860 --> 00:36:43,280
these people can't do a light shuffle.
1277
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:45,080
I mean, they're not disturbing it.
1278
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:46,580
I heard it was a flash mob.
1279
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:47,320
I get it.
1280
00:36:47,620 --> 00:36:49,060
You know, I don't know anybody out there.
1281
00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:49,680
There's a flash mob.
1282
00:36:49,700 --> 00:36:53,380
I will tell you what, if you've ever seen an episode of if you think you can dance.
1283
00:36:53,940 --> 00:36:54,560
All right.
1284
00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:58,280
Some people deserve to be tackled to the ground and then shoved around.
1285
00:36:58,420 --> 00:37:00,280
This was not that.
1286
00:37:00,340 --> 00:37:00,860
Not that.
1287
00:37:00,940 --> 00:37:02,060
I mean, come on.
1288
00:37:02,100 --> 00:37:03,140
This is just out of hand.
1289
00:37:03,780 --> 00:37:04,380
Interpretive dance.
1290
00:37:04,540 --> 00:37:05,460
What is that?
1291
00:37:05,460 --> 00:37:05,880
Really?
1292
00:37:06,780 --> 00:37:08,260
Well, I don't get it.
1293
00:37:08,260 --> 00:37:10,540
I don't get the whole interpretive dancing, right?
1294
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:15,600
Maybe I'm not interpreting it, but, you know, just like, OK, you look like you got stung
1295
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:16,740
by a bee in your lower back.
1296
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:17,680
Well, here's the cool thing.
1297
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:18,220
Here's the cool thing.
1298
00:37:18,220 --> 00:37:20,240
They tried to prove something by shuffling around.
1299
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:24,020
I don't understand why they had one of the music in their ears that they were shuffling.
1300
00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:26,860
They wanted to bring this to light that this is a ridiculous law.
1301
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:27,840
And exactly.
1302
00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:28,820
They did exactly what it did.
1303
00:37:28,860 --> 00:37:30,640
And now they're trying to schedule another protest.
1304
00:37:30,700 --> 00:37:34,880
And this time they actually contacted Kevin Bacon, trying to get Kevin Bacon to come down
1305
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:35,020
there.
1306
00:37:35,020 --> 00:37:35,580
Dance with him.
1307
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:36,260
It ain't gonna happen.
1308
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:37,540
I don't think he ever would.
1309
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:39,520
But he's too busy being an X-Men.
1310
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:40,480
Oh, all right.
1311
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:41,500
Let's take some calls here.
1312
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:41,980
Let's talk to Adam.
1313
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:42,680
Hey, Adam, how you doing?
1314
00:37:42,860 --> 00:37:43,740
Hey, what's going on, guys?
1315
00:37:43,940 --> 00:37:44,640
What's going on, man?
1316
00:37:45,020 --> 00:37:46,800
I got a question, but first I'd like to comment.
1317
00:37:46,980 --> 00:37:50,240
I think they should only be allowed to dance if they could tell you who Jefferson was.
1318
00:37:50,380 --> 00:37:52,120
And they can give you at least one quote from Jefferson.
1319
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:53,000
All right.
1320
00:37:53,180 --> 00:37:53,720
All right.
1321
00:37:53,720 --> 00:37:54,580
I can live with that.
1322
00:37:54,700 --> 00:37:57,060
But the great thing about this country is you don't have to do that.
1323
00:37:57,100 --> 00:37:57,900
That's the great thing about this country.
1324
00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:00,060
You could just say, you know, Jefferson didn't know how to spell.
1325
00:38:00,900 --> 00:38:01,940
That would work.
1326
00:38:02,940 --> 00:38:03,820
Because I went.
1327
00:38:03,820 --> 00:38:06,840
I went to, you know, to Virginia and checked out the Jefferson estate.
1328
00:38:07,020 --> 00:38:07,300
Right.
1329
00:38:07,300 --> 00:38:07,520
Right.
1330
00:38:08,020 --> 00:38:09,020
That dude was pretty cool.
1331
00:38:09,180 --> 00:38:09,660
All right.
1332
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:09,920
Go ahead.
1333
00:38:10,060 --> 00:38:10,320
Yeah.
1334
00:38:10,420 --> 00:38:12,160
I mean, awesome.
1335
00:38:12,420 --> 00:38:13,420
So what's going on, Adam?
1336
00:38:14,240 --> 00:38:17,500
I got a problem every time I try to get onto an email or some website.
1337
00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:18,800
It pops up every time.
1338
00:38:18,860 --> 00:38:19,360
Security warning.
1339
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:21,760
Do you want to view only the web page content that was delivered securely?
1340
00:38:22,300 --> 00:38:22,660
Okay.
1341
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:24,620
And I could say more info, yes or no.
1342
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:27,360
It kind of sounds like you're using Internet Explorer, right?
1343
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:28,160
Yes.
1344
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:29,080
All right.
1345
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:30,660
And what version of Windows do you have?
1346
00:38:31,720 --> 00:38:32,460
What do I have?
1347
00:38:32,620 --> 00:38:32,660
I have.
1348
00:38:32,660 --> 00:38:32,840
I have a desktop.
1349
00:38:33,580 --> 00:38:34,180
No, no, no.
1350
00:38:34,300 --> 00:38:34,860
I have seven.
1351
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:35,780
Seven 64-bit.
1352
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:36,240
Okay.
1353
00:38:36,300 --> 00:38:38,260
So it sounds to me like you got one of two things going on here.
1354
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:42,940
Either your browser settings are all kind of jacked up and you can reset the browser
1355
00:38:42,940 --> 00:38:44,940
fairly easily by going to Internet Options.
1356
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:45,720
Okay.
1357
00:38:45,720 --> 00:38:47,420
And there's a button that just says Reset Browser.
1358
00:38:47,740 --> 00:38:49,140
And it puts everything back to default.
1359
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:50,240
It's on the advanced tab.
1360
00:38:50,240 --> 00:38:51,020
It's on the advanced tab.
1361
00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:51,180
Okay.
1362
00:38:51,180 --> 00:38:51,280
Yeah.
1363
00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:54,700
And then the other thing it could be is you could have some type of an infection going
1364
00:38:54,700 --> 00:38:55,020
on.
1365
00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:55,960
That's.
1366
00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:57,700
Well, I guess I should do a boot time scan.
1367
00:38:57,800 --> 00:38:58,620
I'm running a VAS.
1368
00:38:58,800 --> 00:38:59,200
All right.
1369
00:38:59,240 --> 00:39:01,060
Let's start with resetting the browser and see if it goes away.
1370
00:39:01,240 --> 00:39:01,560
Okay.
1371
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:02,020
All right.
1372
00:39:02,020 --> 00:39:05,760
And if it doesn't, then yeah, you really should run that boot time scan.
1373
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:06,480
Cool.
1374
00:39:06,660 --> 00:39:06,960
Okay.
1375
00:39:07,180 --> 00:39:07,640
Thanks, guys.
1376
00:39:07,720 --> 00:39:08,400
Appreciate the call, man.
1377
00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:08,560
Take care.
1378
00:39:08,900 --> 00:39:11,020
If you'd like to be a part of the show, 751-1041.
1379
00:39:11,180 --> 00:39:11,980
Let's talk to you, Alex.
1380
00:39:12,180 --> 00:39:12,700
Hello, Alex.
1381
00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:14,360
Hi.
1382
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:14,740
Yeah.
1383
00:39:14,780 --> 00:39:16,180
Thanks for making my call so quickly.
1384
00:39:16,380 --> 00:39:16,660
Yeah.
1385
00:39:16,700 --> 00:39:17,400
I have a question.
1386
00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:22,800
We have a Cox cable and we have a, it comes with McAfee.
1387
00:39:22,980 --> 00:39:25,700
Is that a worthwhile program to have with it or?
1388
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:26,080
No.
1389
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:26,140
No?
1390
00:39:26,140 --> 00:39:26,440
No.
1391
00:39:26,460 --> 00:39:27,240
It's a waste of time.
1392
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:27,740
Oh, okay.
1393
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:29,740
We've had it several years now.
1394
00:39:30,420 --> 00:39:31,220
It does.
1395
00:39:31,260 --> 00:39:32,860
Everything slows down every once in a while.
1396
00:39:33,020 --> 00:39:33,180
Yes.
1397
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:36,360
So how do I go about putting something different on?
1398
00:39:36,540 --> 00:39:36,720
All right.
1399
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:41,020
First, pick what you want to put on there and download a copy of it, but don't install
1400
00:39:41,020 --> 00:39:41,200
it.
1401
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:42,040
Okay.
1402
00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:43,420
Now, would you recommend a VAS?
1403
00:39:43,420 --> 00:39:43,780
Yes.
1404
00:39:43,780 --> 00:39:45,920
I do recommend a VAS, at least on the free market.
1405
00:39:45,980 --> 00:39:46,280
Yes.
1406
00:39:46,460 --> 00:39:47,000
Mm-hmm.
1407
00:39:47,020 --> 00:39:48,360
Even a paid one is pretty good.
1408
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:48,780
Yeah.
1409
00:39:48,900 --> 00:39:49,700
I think it's unnecessary.
1410
00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:52,680
I like a VAS for a couple of reasons.
1411
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:55,040
Decent detection, boot time scan, free.
1412
00:39:55,140 --> 00:39:58,200
And those three things together really make a nice product for me.
1413
00:39:58,200 --> 00:39:58,680
Okay.
1414
00:39:58,940 --> 00:40:04,560
Let's say I go with that, but how do I take my Mac fee off and still stay protected or
1415
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:05,600
do I unplug the internet?
1416
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:09,880
Well, that's why you're going to download your new antivirus first but not install it.
1417
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:10,200
Right.
1418
00:40:10,340 --> 00:40:14,820
And then you can disconnect, uninstall the application, your old one, and then install
1419
00:40:14,820 --> 00:40:16,180
your new one and then plug yourself back in.
1420
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:17,800
Disconnect the internet.
1421
00:40:17,900 --> 00:40:18,260
Yes.
1422
00:40:18,620 --> 00:40:19,020
Okay.
1423
00:40:19,100 --> 00:40:21,640
Unplug the cable and then I can do the switch.
1424
00:40:21,780 --> 00:40:22,180
Okay.
1425
00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:22,520
Yeah.
1426
00:40:22,620 --> 00:40:23,020
Sure.
1427
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:23,700
That makes sense.
1428
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:27,220
Also, now, have you heard of other people?
1429
00:40:27,260 --> 00:40:28,180
My wife says be careful.
1430
00:40:28,180 --> 00:40:35,880
Between 5 and 7 PM, talk seems to be really slow or do you think it's a computer or drill
1431
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:36,120
slow?
1432
00:40:36,260 --> 00:40:39,180
Sometimes she can't get on or gets kicked off if she is on.
1433
00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:40,200
What's up?
1434
00:40:40,420 --> 00:40:42,240
Well, it kind of depends on a couple of factors.
1435
00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:46,780
It's probably a high traffic time for your node.
1436
00:40:47,460 --> 00:40:50,940
You have a bunch of people in your area that are connected to the same node.
1437
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:51,400
Yes.
1438
00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:54,400
And by the way, that's true with all the internet providers with the exception of
1439
00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:55,220
like SimplyBets.
1440
00:40:55,500 --> 00:40:56,840
Even if Quest says otherwise.
1441
00:40:56,860 --> 00:40:57,060
Right.
1442
00:40:58,180 --> 00:41:01,300
They have the same type of noting system that all the others have.
1443
00:41:01,460 --> 00:41:01,760
Yeah.
1444
00:41:02,860 --> 00:41:07,780
The difference is that they throttle you down so much that it doesn't really matter how
1445
00:41:07,780 --> 00:41:08,820
many people get on.
1446
00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:09,180
Right.
1447
00:41:09,380 --> 00:41:13,420
Anyway, you could be experiencing a traffic problem with your neighborhood and you can
1448
00:41:13,420 --> 00:41:14,600
call Cox about that and complain.
1449
00:41:14,860 --> 00:41:20,280
A lot of times if you complain loud enough, they will apply oil to your squeaky wheel.
1450
00:41:20,420 --> 00:41:24,060
Or if you have a Wi-Fi network and your Wi-Fi network is open and everybody in your neighborhood
1451
00:41:24,060 --> 00:41:26,060
is jumping on it and once again slowing you down.
1452
00:41:26,260 --> 00:41:26,500
Yeah.
1453
00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:27,260
Actually, we don't.
1454
00:41:27,260 --> 00:41:28,640
We have one on.
1455
00:41:28,720 --> 00:41:32,780
My daughter put on a password for it so nobody can jump on.
1456
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:33,340
Very good.
1457
00:41:33,340 --> 00:41:33,700
All right.
1458
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:38,340
So start complaining to Cox and they can take a look at that for you.
1459
00:41:38,340 --> 00:41:38,720
Yeah.
1460
00:41:38,720 --> 00:41:43,220
And if I find ... The computer has gotten slow also.
1461
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:44,700
It's about two years old, Dale.
1462
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:48,060
You had that $65 special.
1463
00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:49,600
Does that include a tune-up of it?
1464
00:41:49,700 --> 00:41:51,440
We have a $65 tune-up.
1465
00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:51,700
Yep.
1466
00:41:51,720 --> 00:41:52,080
Okay.
1467
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:55,740
So I'll run this and if it doesn't help, I'll bring it in.
1468
00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:56,180
Thank you.
1469
00:41:56,180 --> 00:41:56,520
Bye.
1470
00:41:56,600 --> 00:41:56,940
Thank you.
1471
00:41:57,020 --> 00:41:57,260
Yeah.
1472
00:41:57,280 --> 00:41:57,380
Bye.
1473
00:41:58,080 --> 00:41:58,480
All right.
1474
00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:00,260
If you'd like to be part of the show, 751-1041.
1475
00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:01,600
Let's see.
1476
00:42:02,140 --> 00:42:04,660
We're going to do one more because we're coming up on the break here.
1477
00:42:04,740 --> 00:42:05,060
Hey, Steve.
1478
00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:05,480
How you doing?
1479
00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:06,700
Hey, great.
1480
00:42:06,720 --> 00:42:07,080
How are you?
1481
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:07,620
Not bad.
1482
00:42:07,720 --> 00:42:08,220
How can I help you?
1483
00:42:08,540 --> 00:42:14,400
Hey, I've got a Dell laptop, a C400, old one, P3, and I want to change the BIOS password.
1484
00:42:14,660 --> 00:42:19,500
And I get into the BIOS, I go to page seven and I go to change the master password, primary
1485
00:42:19,500 --> 00:42:20,640
password is what they're calling it.
1486
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:22,820
And it says, you know, hit your arrow keys.
1487
00:42:22,900 --> 00:42:23,340
I do it.
1488
00:42:23,380 --> 00:42:24,240
I type in the password.
1489
00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:24,920
Beep.
1490
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:24,920
1491
00:42:25,020 --> 00:42:26,160
It won't let me do it.
1492
00:42:26,180 --> 00:42:27,120
I hit enter three times.
1493
00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:27,800
It won't let me do it.
1494
00:42:27,820 --> 00:42:29,280
Hit enter twice with nothing in it.
1495
00:42:29,500 --> 00:42:30,640
I pulled the battery.
1496
00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:32,320
I pulled the CMOS battery.
1497
00:42:32,500 --> 00:42:32,940
All right.
1498
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:34,760
Hang tight for a second.
1499
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:35,620
We're up against the break.
1500
00:42:35,720 --> 00:42:36,320
So stick around.
1501
00:42:36,380 --> 00:42:37,640
We'll get to you right after the break.
1502
00:42:37,740 --> 00:42:38,720
This is the Computer Guru Show.
1503
00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:39,480
We'll be right back.
