I am an impressionist and modern art dealer at a very reputable gallery and I never went to college either. I had a commodore 64 in the 80s and have always been drawn to computers and art and when I see this guy from the black eyed peas it just makes me frustrated that that is how stupid the masses are and how all they need is someone that played did some stupid song and that is all it takes. Its like george w bush how much respect did he earn in the end? there must be some other pop musicians that can appeal the masses that can also gain the respect of the overclocking community that push the hardware in the 1st place. I see saw vinces latest nvidia video and you watch it and you feel truly proud of that guy. he is so cool and laid back and when he is pouring the ln2 over the 3 sli rig in the slim pots the ln2 is pouring off the pots and on the cards and board and he is so calm and he knows its gonna evaporate before it ruins the hardware. You hear him talk and you want to listen because he is confident. when I see the black eyed peas guy he almost appears to be falling down a cliff just trying to grab a branch or anything he can get his hands on to avoid dying in the interview. It makes you wonder if he is the same in the studio. I wrote that fictional story because I really feel there is some freak personal thing that has nothing to do with computer chips or music that got him this job. Its just so ridiculous that unless you are the stupid masses that buys anything and believes anything on FOX news you will just accept it, however if you are like the majority of us on this forum that know better to just accept anything marketing throws at us it leaves much to the imagination. Regardless of our music tastes, at least get someone that the ones pushing their hardware and working their asses off in the bios's and hard at work writing reviews and all the crap that pushes the hdwr in the 1st place can respect. Imagine you worked your ass off for a company and dedicated your life to it for 20 years and then when you finally thought you were going to get promoted to executive position and get the parking space and keys to the executive bathroom, you find out that they hired this 19 year old from the mail room because his mom used to screw the chairman of the board.
