 Okay, we're back live here inside New York. This is SiliconANGLE's coverage of Hadoop World, Strada plus Hadoop World, O'Reilly Media has now running the Strada and Hadoop Conference. It's in New York City. It's part of Big Data Week and SiliconANGLE and Wikibon.org are covering this like a blanket. We've been here for two days. We were prior to previously out in Las Vegas for IBM's Information on Demand or IOD Conference. And this is about Big Data really coming into its own, intersecting with business. This is now the second year where we've seen the business side and the geek side really kind of blend together. That's really the top story here in New York. My co-host Dave Vellante and I have been interviewing a lot of guests. We've had a packed schedule and just want to take the time to summarize kind of the top news here. And the top news essentially is every startup that's in Big Data is doing a lot of announcements. Hallways are packed. Over 3,000 people have signed up via O'Reilly and it's been amazing. And I want to shout out to our sponsors who make this happen and who help underwrite this independent editorial coverage of theCUBE which we love to do and bring this to you. The signal from the noise at a silicon angle. And our thanks goes out to Cloudera. Cloudera is the big data platform. They're the headline sponsor. We want to thank Cloudera and also MapR. MapR also stepped up with some support. And both those companies have been really supportive of theCUBE over the past two and a half years and we're proud to bring all this great coverage. Other companies, Hortonworks, Adapt, MapR, DataStacks and on and on and on. So we're here, Hallways are packed. And I'll say the top news outside here is Windows 8 is rocking and rolling. And that's really the big story out on the web right now is Windows 8. And Windows has been getting slammed a little bit here. I'm not sure. They've been getting slammed a lot. New York Times ran a scathing video where people were saying, wow, this makes me feel dumb which seems to be the undertone in the marketplace. And really that's kind of a bashing of Windows. You know what, I want to give them a shot. I actually like the new layout. It's very mobile-like, it's very edgy and it's really where the future's going. Couple of big news around Microsoft that also that's not really focused on by the big mainstream media is the success of Xbox. And the success of Xbox is really to me where Microsoft's key inflection point's going to move. Will Windows be the franchise of the future? Will Xbox be the franchise of the future? We've been clear on siliconangle.com and siliconangle.tv that we believe that Xbox is the future of franchise. And in terms of that, it's very clear and we have some videos we can show about this. But Xbox is the franchise. Everyone in the new generation is on Xbox. And we've said, tie the phone to Xbox and you'll be a winner. Other great news here is Hedap is the start-up showcase winner here at Strata. Emerging start-up out of Boston, Massachusetts and they're doing really, really well. Pulling up my little Windows sheet here from Mark Hopkins and knocking down the latest news of the day. Let's pull it up. I'm having a hard time getting the internet. Again, we are here at Strata in New York City with Silicon Angles coverage. We have all kinds of interviews coming up. We had Amar Awadala on. We had Mike Olson and a slew of other guests. So we're going to come right back with more news after this short break and we're going to have more guests. That's a quick update from Strata's floor. This is Silicon Angles exclusive coverage of Strata plus a dupe world here inside theCUBE. We'll be right back. First time on theCUBE, baby. Rock and roll. Probably five or six times I've been on theCUBE now. Right, at first the guys are just fun to work with. Pat, welcome back. Hey, always a pleasure to be in theCUBE. Hey, I'm about to go on theCUBE. You never know what's going to happen. I'm a three-time veteran of being on theCUBE. I hope many, many more. Chad Sackich, Chad, welcome to theCUBE. Dave, John, it's great to be here, man. I keep coming back because great insightful questions from John and from Dave. What face-melting action have you seen here at the event? And I know there's a lot of it. It's a great vehicle to communicate with a broad audience, a lot of folks watch. Great to have you back. Good job. All right, Craig Nunez, VP of marketing at HP Storch. Thanks very much for coming on theCUBE. When people mention theCUBE, they're like, oh my God, I saw you on theCUBE. And they're all excited about it. It's an experience, it's not just information. They experience kind of what's going on there. It's like real time, it's like they were there. That was like going to the gym, boom, boom, boom. Legendary IBMer, CEO of Symantec, and now CEO of Virtual Instrument. Great to have you on theCUBE. So for theCUBE to be here at a conference like this, it's got 15,000, 20,000 people and sharing that live around the world, that's consistent with the way the world is evolving. It's wonderful, it's wonderful. John and Dave are amazing. I don't know how they keep everything in their heads the way they do. It's a great format and we're obviously seeing that this notion of real time coverage and a real conversation is what's driving us as a company. And I said very seriously, when the questions and the comments that we hear from them and from all the different guests here are directly turned into the products that we build. Yeah, that was my first cube and I really enjoyed it. It was the rapid fire of questions. It made me think on my feet, but they were very thought provoking and really got me going on analyzing the greatness of Rista and the greatness of theCUBE as well. John and Dave, the reason their approach works, they're not just guys reading down the question list, right? Okay, next one, next one. It's a conversation, right? And it's, you know, they're going to challenge you. They're not going to settle for the marketing hype and the BS and all that stuff that the industry throws around. Come on, you got to hit them up on the HP question. A lot's changing HP, some turmoil at the top, obviously controversy. They're going to hold you down to the real facts, compare you to the choices our users have and have...
