 On day two, closing out day two, a couple more interviews coming up, but day two is quite the event here. A lot of activity, Pat Gelsinger was on here for 20 minutes with us as the CEO of VMware and a great conversation, a lot of great interviews from AT&T, startups, like Aristin Networks and just a lot of great conversations. So, news desk right now, East Coast and she's going to bring us all the latest news like Aristin. Hey, John, how's it going? Share with us what's going on in the since we talked yesterday. Well, I actually heard that the round table last night was pretty interesting. I was going to get your thoughts on that. Some of the stuff that Michael Dell said about the post-PC era is still working out really well for him. That's been resonating throughout the news today. Just really figuring out what to say. Pat Gelsinger holds in court and Michael Dell trying to get his points in. It's really interesting, but more importantly, it was really a great event. The CEO is really looking at trying to recreate this industry around software-defined networking, software-defined data centers. So I thought it was a very interesting set of CEOs. Noticeably absent from there was John Chambers. So I don't know why Cisco wasn't up there, but again, outside of John Chambers, I thought it was a great activity. And even Cisco's been doing some more stuff with virtualization as many of the other companies at that roundtable really speaks to what's going on with VMware right now. And Project Octopus was some other news that came out this morning, seeing some more integration with especially some of the acquisitions that we've seen over the past year, as well as the new initiatives that have been going on. What are you hearing about that? Was asking about Project Octopus, seeing some interesting integration into VMware products this year. So we're having technical difficulties. Let me put my earpiece on. Not technical difficulties, I just, I can't hear you. But while I'm getting my headphones on, Kristen, what's new in the Apple, Samsung dialogue on the web? What's the latest activity around Samsung and Apple? Well, the aftermath is starting to settle in, still conversations going on around what the impact is for Nokia. It's positive, Microsoft and RIM as well. Seeing some opportunity maybe for the anti-Android campaign, but then on the flip side of the coin, there's some pundits coming out saying that maybe this case is going to eventually, the ruling rather will be overturned and that the jury was filled with Apple fanboys. Seems fanboys are taking over every corner of the world. Maybe we're still having some sound issues over there. No, I'm good, I can hear you now. So what's the big data and storage news on your end? Well, some of the things we're seeing, big data, of course, riding the big wave of the big data hype beautifully is Splunk today. They have a new product out called Storm. It's the cloud-based version of their log data management system. And it's one of their more bold moves into the services space. That's one of the areas of interest for a lot of different companies right now from Oracle VMware SAP and really figuring out how to layer in the best of those services, especially the ones where analytics are deeply integrated. The more you can combine the cloud and big data and analytics, the better. Kristen, share with us what's on the site as terms of news on SiliconANGLE right now and give us a quick rundown on the SiliconANGLE news rely on VMware and also what else is happening outside of VMworld in terms of news. I saw some stuff around Splunk and some other stuff. Yeah, well, speaking of big data, there's a really cool way that it's being put to use. Interesting, there's a team out at Rice University looking to put analytics and big data to work for storm prevention, rather, prediction and managing the risks around things like Hurricane Isaac, very timely application for them to put out there. That was one of the big stories that came out this morning. Always of interest is stories that look at the ways in which big data can be applied to everyday situations. And speaking of hurricane season, actually we have a list that went out this morning of apps and services, Google launch to service this morning to track storms on a map that is collaborative data from a lot of the weather centers around the country. And you can check that out, SiliconANGLE.com, a list of apps and services as well as tips on emergency preparation for keeping in touch with people that you may know in the Gulf Coast area or just things that you can do to be ready. You know, Kristen, I noticed that some info, Chimp has some news that I'd love to get your take on that, but also I wanted to just highlight that, you know, Ohm Malik had a post about Evernote and he's basically admitting that box.net and Dropbox don't have as much traction as most people think where Evernote is actually crushing it in terms of growth and revenue uptake. So I thought the Ohm Malik story on Giga Ohm was very interesting around Evernote. So what's your take on the info, Chimp? What's the story with info, Chimp? Well, here they have new leadership in place, so it'll be interesting to get more details on what's going on over there. InfoChimp has been active lately. They got to speak with them at South by Southwest and a couple other times since then. And we're gonna definitely get a chance to talk with that new CEO. I hear he's at VMworld, so a lot's going on over there. Kristen, great to see you look fabulous. Great to have the new remote capability in as the folks out there.
