... the ... you are ... welcome ... watch it online ... I ... sore have to start first off what would you say to Meg Ryan North Korea in the cinema during the trip ... I know they were to ever understand what's going on inside of a very very close aside ... of but they're unpredictable sports when I think it was like going every white wedding to go to North Korean what did you wouldn't learn there ... um well in as part of a book where tried to visit if you listen we wrote about ... in North Korea is the last place it is essentially no Khan activity ... course were sitting there in the private meetings and the government says ... by the way the State Department said the following episode will maybe you could tell us his were not online for free ... the thing ... I did but he went to North Korea after you finished your book which is coming out next week which is called the new digital age I what would you when you've added something to but after visiting ... on ... that ... the concern I have of North Korea after being there ... was an ever seen ... up a system that's that ... thoughtful ... every other president in a human deals between Pernod or to chat with people and get a sense that they understood that ... maybe this was a facade of maybe this Wismer on ... and on ... in North Korea had no sense of that have a sense that the thought control ... because unit member if you just not the wrong way you your family in your kids although the gulag for the next decade ... um it's a theory very serious points ... to five control ... it's very hierarchical so ... this twenty nine or thirty year old leader ... has is literally has its hands not only on twenty two million people but on the resources and the bombs and so forth ... he really can do this ... so I think the premise of your book is ... two billion people Ardi on line ... five million by billion were coming on soon ... on and conduct a baby changes everything this time ... tells a little bit more about white that ... way but ... when I think of many of us are the people here in this audience ... um understand the incredible benefits of the Internet and technology and when I think this audience in particular understands Morse loss to continue ... this for awhile longer these devices I have a history of Android here in my hand ... um ... in your images you get better ... the big news is not what's happening to the couple billion of us that or disconnected bits of the five billion and not ... an estimate happen over the next five years it's overwhelmingly positive ... it ... is in everyone from no information to its entry into the information once that ... you imagine this or distress or discover all this information literally on Tuesday or something ... he also brings some issues which we also talk ... about ... place just the fans and well course up ... ever when ever and fondly remembers the G one ... and this of course was the predecessor the first vehicle ... but today of course we have the Nexus four ... aam which is selling basically sold out ... we have the IQ having fewer Sestak undercover does it had ... to return the Nexus phones I which is when we in fact we launched ... um I have of course the HTC one which is just just introduced ... out and saying some Samsung has three from each of these guys has been rolls over new models for the course of the mobile industry ... is on about every six month cycle Sydney stuff every six McCain is working on ... it actually does work I bet it's it's a little slow ... so I carried it ... to sell ... on ... a year the core message on interest and read the rough numbers on and write our ... own more than seven to fifty million and refunds in use today global events appear to be horribly ... on the order of three hundred and twenty ... operators ... of carriers to seize the hundred sixty countries seven hundred thousand applications in the play store ... and one point five ... million sales for activations if you will of Android ... every day ... if you do a little math ... you'll see that will cross of the billion in the next six to nine months ... before the end of this year ... aam and will will you be nearing two billion within a year or two ... thank you to a sense of the region the scale I think Android is by far the primary vehicle ... by which people are going to smartphones and especially as ... prices fall which they are going to ... morning it down to the hundred or price of nickel prices so forth ... this course of the key price which was at five billion ... those people in it connected ... so all these people that you know say ... you know in Thursday for them no market you know we see an opportunity for devices that are below Android we heard from Firefox yesterday it with ... Mozilla Firefox or less ... is there is a good deal market below in good or is your goal really to reach ... kind of everyone but her first Margolis reach everybody and the way it's going to happen is the new generation of very low cost imports on manufacturers in the market ... primarily from Asia ... and yet today Samsung is the Number one vendor terms of unit fallen in and of course they're coming from the bottom ... aam and if you think about it these devices ... um because of Moore's law the technological trends these devices today in in two years or you know ... significantly cheaper in four years their phenomenally cheaper ... and so as long as memory or pharmacist not and massively increase over the next two years ... the ability to this solo relatively inexpensive smartphone with a stronger browser is for what you need access to information ... that's what people he does for the coming to ... the problem with the feature phones is one of the browsers ... without a browser that you just can't participate anymore ... we'll get back to Inpex obviously you know that's the center of of of ... of Google's mobile business is a huge business ... um what are the other thing to talk about the book and you know ... I think is really important to bring up this conferences we thought of mobile as ... the smartphone because it's become ubiquitous ... aam but this can be all these other types of technologies that move with us for that he doesn't talk about Goebel Blass sleeping in the book you talk about telegrams what are some of the other half at ... an unknown at social robots investable pills often sending ... were becoming connected all over the place ... and I you know I ... use to say that he'll have ten IP addresses on your body at some point ... word is as a result Werner iMovie confronted essence ... and it looks like that's going to happen and in the way in which is going to happen is that with medical monitoring ... so the future of mobile devices from the average person's perspective may be as much health monitoring is anything else ... of an Indian the book we thought about adjustable pills of a white find out what's going on inside your body and help you with your diagnosis or electric bill that lives inside me and says information is no privacy concerns there I aam wool for space due the first place you choose to talk to ... take it um so blame yourself and on the warning label the definition of opt in a site of the bill ... and ... and ... that it ... but in any case the ... there is intense and if the bill that does exactly what were described sorted built for this specific ailment ... if swimming is it's much much cheaper from medical perspective much Corporate preemptive to sort of ... have this or the monitoring it's helpful to you ... post your phone calls the doctor then the Auckland backers say ... the big at the hostel real faster just about how hard to ... um that's that's been in the developing world ... um in ... the knowledge the explosion of you going to put information on these devices and new forms among balloting serve traditional is that people sitting in classrooms model ... now be replaced by the game for teaching learning ... it all impossible mobile phones ... um in the developing world imagined ... people in our pre loading we know quite a few groups and has a very wonderful people ... were taking tablets other things pre loading them with early learning information so we're in the native language ... itself you know basically literacy around the world CQG ... example after example ... um and again that you know we talk in our own world about um exposed the band with it's fair to say that the rate which are been with increasing ... while on a house that faces a significantly greater than that in the developing world ... in the developing world to ever go from no been with some bandwidth is in fact a store ... to from their perspective just think about basic metal medical care ... um as part of our tour we were in Vermont talking to people and places that had no medical care whatsoever ... aam imagine what happens your euro your own doctor and we forget that are part of the world ... and a lot of the systems and I think you're getting it this that we take for granted education health care the way we've approached them just don't scale than ever to have a doctor patient model and a lot of these countries ... even the ... teacher classroom model probably doesn't scale in a lot of these areas one thing to learn about humans is too uncertain actually optimistic in and clever ... if you give them instead of a true like this they will organize themselves so for example if the police are corrupt ... people will organize a little surveillance network to know what the police are up to ... we saw this were in Mexico ... of ICBC and left example the we use these empowering devices ... to the core things going on with mobile devices and mobile devices are the vehicle by which works best in the stock is we're empowering individuals ... not all individuals are good there are issues with SPX's of evil ... evil criminal summons like this ... but for the for the overwhelming number people the world ... this is a huge improvement ... so what about these shows and telegrams and all that stuff are they ... coming bravado ... you know the technology is going to evolve in your seen the democratization all this acknowledging on in the book we talk about how ... the most important thing ... to think about is are you developing a second I refer to earlier ... on in the Southern Baptist remember roughly what you're doing instead of the game you run the app itself ... I imagine the Uluru Mr. recreates that memory free ... aam to the technology is getting that right there in that in and ... it will retire but phones which are properly covered phones but the supercomputers ... nobody uses the phone by themselves anymore these phones are unique a place for phone calls with fairly rarely ... but to really use this instead of a browser or an app in the interface to a very powerful ... back incident data servers in Google's case millions of computers ... to do a lot of them were free ... in the new AI techniques allow it to make suggestions to help you in those kinds of things ... aam and I think one model going forward is that countries like who will fall to be your helper ... aam to to help make your life better they make things quicker in a ... piece of suggest um this is you need to get to the airport ninety minutes early because as the crowd and it's off ... you know that you're getting on a plan ... for what you mean the relationship or how should we need relationship between ... the book and who also if I were to take the book as that indicator but Goebbels building next that I would say that Lex is building a polygraph ... of but ... that would not be correct ... I would argue that the Fed did their duty of the things that ... I will Monster drones have been doing other things ... um they broke the buck with Jared Cohen who also works at the office for ... by ... Google ... well it's copyrighted to go but in the proceeds go to charity but the important thing ... to know is that ... this is not the future of that approval ... is speculation technology will fall ... so ... I feel a little bit of attention in the bout between hand ... technology being neither good or bad hands he means that a bet on overall production of ... technology taking him into a better place ... I what would be the ones that happen if the scan of this kind of audiences from the news were accused of being Tecno optimists ... um that somehow this technology is only good it only Pollyanna world is to be had combine the moments ... and I think that um the truth about Technologies is relatively neutral with an empowerment bites ... and so does have a virus and that and because of democratization it empowers people ... and if you view the world is ideal is overwhelmingly positive and human motivations overall positive come out with a positive view ... there are issues that you have to mention of terrorism ... um you evil people doing evil things them in a letter you must worry well ... as a term no as an example when the invented the telephone Alexander Graham Bell than say ... August empowering people to call a make phone calls to action costs climbed ... does not how it works now ... the criminals got on the phone system in the same way that that normally wouldn't ... want airline your online your online of course when we designed the internet ... of the initial design internet which I was somewhat part of ... the type in passwords something specific or to anyone that would be people on that we didn't know ... write to you and I he that part of the world was ... from myself ... so today we have a different view ... aam but societies put the stuff in in the race between ... two attackers and defenders so that they were to be just fine ... um in in the book we talk alot about what the issues of this and current boss ... is the government's ... will in fact decide they don't want services is empowered as they are ... the classic example is China ... where China is probably the heavier as long as the dough criticized the government ... how ... to we know when we built the internet we didn't say ... it's an area for everyone except people who want us to criticize the Chinese government that's not the definition of the Internet IP protocol ... and so government struggle with this in China's case the act of censorship regime which pursue poses ... but you can imagine a situation were other countries that are authoritarian which is something ... I worry alot about ... two I really worry about ... these governments deciding that this experiment in ... in cross border information sharing ... was a mistake ... police in his bout with Iran then there's a bunch of country but that said maybe we should build our own well that the rest of the besotted Iraq's last week Iran announced that they didn't like Google Earth said the building their own which I guess the cold and rainy and earth ... it's to have to go the Islamic view according to Iran the two forces when it was only one version of Islam ... and only one country within their version of Islam ... up and presumably due to leave a few things like Israel is like that ... I mean is is is this madness ... you talk a lot when when I hear you talk about the good and bad of technology when you talk about the bad ... I often hear you talk about ... criminals ... governments ... that are doing bad things but ... does the technology industry and two in particular spend enough time about the things that are is black and white you know ... concerns about privacy concerns about what is it mean to have all this information and certainly ... the critics of Google of which are many ... say that he knows that there isn't enough time spent on ... keeping the personnel personnel ... what about these things are just black or white ... are you willing to take all the unintended consequences well again there unintended consequence is in Renault's information and privacy is something that people are very very concerned about ... aam was a lot of time theme at this time I would put tuna coupled with its ... precise um enter the threats to you the primaries to online threat will be some the steal your password or fishing ... and various forms of malware are those of the primary ways in which bad things happen to you but you always see it that way but what about using it to me what are my primary threats is ... the Okubo thingy only information serving a bunch of stuff that I might or might not walk out on balance his mentor I think ... so so so what is the one one way to one way to think about this is what we're response will do so ... Goebel has a responsibility which the T3 share Siddiqi produce to work ... at safe somehow all the data that you are entrusting us with sort of got out of the real tragedy both for you but it's still suffered rule because we really try to ... prove that we have a bad scare but you have a responsibility as well ... on beyond its ties ... to keep your passes secure understand what people in in in your computer not install malware that so ... ALM so that's that's an example ... aam with respect to serve your Pursell information ... we have a couple principles we let you take it out tomorrow conditions for the union all about that ... um but the other thing is we we are careful about when we use your information and we knew we tell you that ... so for my perspective the only way I know the answer your question is to say we disclose will we do ... we we disposal we do with your information ... and we also ... that which we docked in her carefully and we hear those principles and if we don't get killed ... but in general we have this once I can tell ... and the second is we haven't outs are responsible to keep your data secure ... it's your question or not ... the things I think they're still there there's a large segment of folks outside in our view that ... that feel that ... you know it's it's a tough trade off a mean we like a lot of what Google gives this we used ... to know we use all these services when not always some nuts about all the ways the Goebel combines that information ... and I think people are concerned about ... you know what is it me down the row against easy to make your victory you know we spent a tremendous time inside the company discussing ... discussing the student trade offs ... um some of the systems in fact you at you know ... something naturally cluck some of this information ... we've steer clear policies but rather used to work which we document ... um what its effect and write this clearly that see a huge mobile area for you guys ... you know one of the interesting things about Android is ... you guys bill that ... you know there's various ways you can work within trade you can either take the Goebel set of services ... and you know there some role from that or you can ... build your own thing in you can pre much to everyone what you make of that differ ways that people are using Android everything from ... your Amazon which is doing their own thing on top of that to Facebook which is ... doing ... it within the global practice fantastic tale I ... this is what open source is about ... and I was love it when people were not in the open source the business criticize us for being open ... open source means open source ... write that the contract Apache license allows all the stuff like this one ... experimentation its new ideas its creativity ... and I suspect that it's one of the key reasons why Android is the Number one solution right now and the like can ... we allow ... and Exxon and frankly I think it took some guts to do ... our part ... when the teams of this conference has been on a little bit around the web and open web experience for says the app platform experience it seems like most people that's ... where we see that going well let's let's reduce credit actively ... a simple answer speaking as a persistent all ... all his life working on browsers a one hundred of the last twenty years or so ... um is to assume that every device could be browser centric ... and ... the phone people came along and said ... you're probably not quite right there ... because the brothers run fast enough ... the phones aren't fast enough ... the browsers don't have enough support for the kind of apps and teaming and so forth that we wanted to ... yes ... well but again that's but this is what they said ... so ... that set up the rough roughly the falling economy you have a job with a solution with Android and you have the ... Iowa state solution recession check to see come with gap with Apple and then he had a couple of other other ... other parents as well ... um and that's produced the kind of apps that we use more on most of our phones to to ... to during that time it in all five came along and if you have two additional five ... it's very very fully functional ... actually has the speed for graphics this be for gaming and so forth the browser ... this browser browser versus apps today it ... is something that we've lived with for fifteen years ... if you go back to New Look episode of Micra soft in the Netscape arguments way back when ... and that when I was in some way to the same arguments he was literally the same frame ... right could the browser support this ... which dates to all five it looks to be like with their ... in Google's case without both both platforms are working you can now see the benefit and into the shoes ... I like that approach I don't think that you too can we truly merge these things ... aam and in fact were to continue with both of these ... so it's not the case that we've reached the point where ... the the fifth of the factors that you caused that gave birth to the mobile app ecosystem ... the things they give birth that haven't gone away they're still in need for ... apps and native coating on the mobile device when are you taking one side of the religious argument that the facts of the matter is that they're there that you have large industries on both ... and there to continue to be very very valuable to go to a continued build below both platforms ... our job is to make sure people can build incredible apps that were were in this context were up from this ... and the story by the way the mobile story is isn't apps and with that story now write the platform ... in her costume is well established we understand what the limits placed Alyssa's look like and so forth ... aam the real real story is what people do these new connected devices and in doing ... what it's perfectly well ... how about actually change Achaval where now you combine those two things one organization where Ian Wright in Cromer I would be ... again I would be careful about um confusing organization design and product design ... right but it stands for ... but the cuts but the company has one CEO ... it ... does mean all the products are so ... good ... so people people are wrong to read into use in the running both that ... got the promo lesson is careful not to ... acquire the mistakes I've been ... a long long time ago when I was assigned ... um ... I'm a day off and I took our computer apart at the time ... I could see in each part of our son computer ... the work structure of our company ... and I thought ... this is a disaster ... because no one can figure out the lookout for some time ... and ... so it seems to me the you don't want to lead or design disrupted drive products ... you want to build outstanding products which is the call ... the two are not ... the other day I I should say by the way that ... um there's a merged point nor the strategies ... were you take on a channel five EU tissue wrapped the Java app inside of it ... and you take it off I've been you wrap the it's the five Rapids had a job ... this is how you can tap portability ... to from a technical solution that would probably solve it that way ... which is unrelated to or designer unrelated to the religious issues ... this is no different from the old timers to remember eased after program your modem ... and then one day the modem got the capability of talking to the other mobile modem in configuring itself and everyone forgot ... the TDS euro member all that programming ... aam and that activity that was what comic today was to find that fifteen years ... I don't think this that's right guys follow it ... the the ... the benefit of youth ... on ... the other day last winter was for us to the Dubois is nice to walk and it was that ... and we were doing gigabytes of the primacy of the deity of the digging of ideas listen to us it is this big because you know gigabyte use to this pic ... the important point is that the ... generations never understand the the stone steps that were made ... by the predecessors' ... Anthony to be heading in that space you're bringing the next thing ... on the other day I got a tip about that ... still working on a watch though it was interesting to think about what was that ... is that Motorola is that Google X is that in trading and continued on for a place where I should have lots of different cars and buses Amanda ... the devices now we are very involved in devices well are working with partners to do so on to the feel of the Goebel Blass and by the League of alas the early explorers are getting there ... to last in the next next few days is literally capping ... one of ... more than last ... yes I got an email last night if you're a good though I know you can sign up at to get whom Glass Howell is just a matter of ... a month or two in everyone that ... orders this first round of the president something very fast ... and for those eager not to do class come to the of the screen is really interesting ... on an average talks with that for me the experience was actually not the screen ... was the fact that you can talk to the talks back to ... um it's just very strange to Goebel Blass it says hello ... um in your ear and then you know you have a conversation about which occurred about what the show ... Anthony was a delightful moment where I realize that the voice recognition was good enough that you can really talk to these things ... I've always thought that I would always tight to compute and now you really can talk ... and and my guess is that after people start using it builders ... these things with the ... Cleary with us more about the Social input this good again you know I think this one of the things he has put out a lot to like ... you know there was somebody in it before you guys can even set that I was ... I was love people who've been things they've never even seen ... I just don't like it ... that was that I get so like I like that either I like that's right ... Mrs human nature ... when you think about such a product that was owed ... to summon we don't go for dinner ... when you think about a product lead to gulags and what are the what are the top three social implications he think ok we've got the start with here's what we actually have to figure out as a society ... um we don't know ... um our job is to put these pop firms out there to to bring the technology forward there are so many people are excited about the possibility of using these ... for various um and eating of working on learning and so forth ... I'm sure there will be in a negative example Zuma Press will come up with some example someone misuse is the stuff this is the nature to know ... a look at how soon will be normal to be weighing ... on your computer your face I do believe this ... because I didn't get much did you get when you're going to Burma and North Korea please know I want to freak them out ... they have a lot of guns ... but you and I have a similar problem with Goebel acid a which is we both wear glasses I I tried it out and ... I literally couldn't see anything cuz that's how blind and ... that that's from that ends before the end of the year I understand from this problem was solved the five hundred years ago using reflective lenses some stupid stuff ... um we talk a little bit about Motorola NEC and we get too deep in the org chart but am curious ... how do you think of moto it they accompanied to just build one more set of inward parts or do you think of them as ... the hardware arm that can build ... you know the thing is that today's hardware makers aren't even making ... while that they have a new set of products that I have seen phenomenal ... and they are there in a tough you know this or that Android space a very tough competitive market ... um and I think the competition's ... price to fall in enormous improve its performance ... if anyone were ordered by Steve do with more girl is we can see for this action ... technology ... and servers and very impressive they mostly ... like phone type thing or is that broader than that ... think of it is phones plus ... funds plus the Goebel plus ... we did actually wanna ask you because he'd been involved in that ... with a sly smile ... I have you been involved in diplomacy on the half of global ... um around the world ... and ... when the more recent things was around ten ... competition in goo Poland aam is a different situations he tells a little bit about how that when I mean it in that ... in the Americans appeared at what they wanted t about antitrust I can come to agreement with Goebel ... but Europe is on its way it seems like it might be more friendly agreement are you might be more friendly to making concessions to them ... he tells LaVette about the process ... um well it has been going on for a couple of years and in the U S the laws differ in European states in there and the process is governed by anti trust law ... the which I'm obviously not not an expert ... so we set off a summary ... I've done lots and lots of reading learning from it ... so to enhance its been a fan of time with the ... it's not just that the regulators but also the Congresses the fourth ... in the Cup the conclusion we came to was the paltry settlement was announced in January which were pretty happy with ... aam and basically it said we've done this investigation ... were to change the filings but disclosure to be giving you a couple points ... aam the appeal was somewhat different from Europe to Goebel has probably higher market share in some of these countries ... aam and a lot of go go go was a little is different so ... quiet on the European Commission Sen European level ... and they're now doing what is such a market test of some ideas ... of ... of changes that we would make which allow us in their view to perform for the last ... aam and if the proceeds of the movie a pre good outcome for about so we'll see ... they did not finalize with the doing that the timeline is ... some number of months but it should be the Shia ... one simple thing it seemed like because he did today there's as we talked melody Intrade you can ... totally build on your own and that's obviously fine you can do any services but if you want ... to build a product with one Google service he pretty much take them all ... that ... I mean I'm not an anti trust expert either but that sounds like boggling to me ... well there's a difference is is not bombing ... so where for precise ... there plenty of examples where that's true ... so I mean do you see it ... that gold of the future needing to do business much differently than it does there isn't a fairly small number of things you think ... that if you hold in X and Y and Z ... you'd be pretty well in compliance with the NHS stuff around that low ... well again I learn is in it that can ... be differs by country and for sample European antitrust ... um so far specifically not been about and traditions ... to its inhabitants are so giddy have to look at a specific case ... when you think about um ... mobile and the way this is changing in a new you guys been a tremendous amount from probably more than ... any other company can think of looking at how is the world's ... gonna look X number of years from now ... self driving cars all these things How is day-to-day life ... in you know maybe in the developed world and in the developing world what is that really didn't mean a couple years from now in terms of actual human lives our nephew write in the front seat in the backseat of the tyrants are so I have written in the fence to the drivers are and what they say in the testing ... is that it takes twenty minutes for the person to recover ... from the ... first time when they take the foot off the in thing is driving in moving and so forth ... that measure the steps to open a center along the Diggers of twenty minutes ... so ... it's such a wee years situation to be in a car which is actually ... slowing down changing lanes is so forth ... at fifty five sixty five miles an hour ... um I just can't describe into thinking that the backseat Wednesday ... basically a venue for the call down ... um but eventually this technology and biotechnology has had the Austrian thousand tax free miles or something like this ... of this technology to ... one argument regardless car is pretty simple ... what's the what's the great source of death in America to the ... sparks ... thirty thousand roughly um on miles driven ... basis is actually declined ... but if you if you have heard of even France iPad through the terrible tragedy of this ... you realize how profoundly bad ... having people driving cars for suspending computers that are better than people from our ... so in our life top ... right certainly circling our lifetime ... we're going to see this become ... you will save lots ... and that's whats really under ... the assumption was that ... so if you think about it from the developed world Quirk thing that's gonna happen is the digitization of everything that ... means the availability of knowledge after fingertips Kennedy's inaugural corporate marketing freezes ... um ... to Saul the every known problem and where am I where my going you know what to do ... that on your own about the memory of what they do a year ago ... no this was thanks ... and the quality of life is just better that allows people to be to do what people do better ... and what are people there that intuition and living our lives so what were the computers better at ... memory ... that they're perfect members assemble everything they keep all your photographs ... in her tracks so so ... and you can figure out how you want to use the ... in the developing world ... it's much more profound that that's a pretty amazing thing ... but I wanna go back to the fact that that the average person OpenWorld has no information of ... textbooks ... acknowledges that the roads ... become from her tribe or their their local teacher or there's no knowledge of all ... so for them this is this dump is even more profound ... and encourage curiosity and arsed Commerce imparts health ... the things that the of the core of ... the Fed ... um if you if you spent on developing world what's the biggest thing that they complain about it's not censorship ... its corruption ... the technology can also be used to track corruption watch ... of the misuse of the mistreatment of police ... upends for the terrible of mistreatment goes on and women around the world ... etc all the stuff to get recorded ... logs ... been prevented and so forth ... from their perspective it's an even better it's a tool for safety a simple tool for improvement school for knowledge ... school friend garment ... in school for making money ... so we're going to audience questions right after this but ... one section but that was for space and with a different spin on mobile and the developing world most are talking about the use of Bluetooth and peer to peer communication versus ... Internet communication ... at what your will but more about that ... iam ... one serve our core principles is that people are very clever ... and so one of palms of the developing world is that the data networks are very very expensive ... answer because it's so incredibly expensive people have become Opel work for us so effective are making relatively simple ... of Bluetooth that networks ... of which were still cost anything in order to share information ... many of the most interesting videos and information are smuggled out and Bluetooth networks because people are afraid this don't know when to keep this up on their phones is too dangerous ... I had ... a ... total scene from Pierce wireless ... in February of mobile conversely spoke with Samsung and they downplayed any notion of tension between themselves and too cool for Android but ... the facts are that I think according to Gartner in the fourth quarter they shipped forty percent of the global Android ... devices and they are really ... the only Android OEM making any significant ... money off of selling Android devices so ... do you think that that dynamic is a healthy one for the Android ecosystem and what ... if anything were to go to to ... ALM change that or address ... for some lots of time with Samsung and I can confirm is that that that press coverage of the tension is top incorrect ... I we've heard that it was to put them in fact we just recently met with them in California ... I've been that ... the South Korea and by Ministry of a South Korea's many times to talk to them ... um they have literally hundreds of millions of the phones phones coming on the in form ... um and the value in the office to them are very high so ...

Pakistan will now play two Test matches during its Caribbean tour as West Indies has deferred the ODI series, according to a report from Geo News.
Pakistan was to play two Test matches and five ODIs during its West Indies tour in June-July this year.
According to earlier reports, West Indies were scheduled to host Pakistan from June to July but they also have a tri-series against India and Sri Lanka during that time and to avoid the clash with Pakistan, the WICB had asked the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) if their Caribbean tour could be rescheduled to August.
However, this would also interfere with the PCB's slim hopes of hosting India. (ANI)

The Cascadia Rivalry
6 comments:
- Unknown said...
Just to clarify, Vancouver's ground (the soon to be renamed BC Place) will have 54,500 seats after renovations, leaving plenty of room for Timbers and Sounders supporters who wish to travel. Whitecaps FC have currently sold just over 15k season seats and the renovated stadium can be temporarily upsized or downsized on demand (as is the case with Quest Field). While this leaves Portland as the only club that wouldn't be able to handle large numbers of travelling supporters, I'd still rather see Vancouver and Seattle allocate thousands of tickets to Timbers supporters if the demand exists.
As a Whitecaps season ticketholder, I can honestly say I don't know anyone here in Vancouver who wouldn't welcome a sizable contingent of away supporters and the fantastic football atmosphere this would create. I hope the Sounders owner will reconsider his position on this issue.
- 3 November 2010 at 15:49
As a Sounders supporter, I disagree with the ticket policy and welcome away supporters. But I just wanted to point out the irony (and possible ignorance) of an article claiming that there is no reason for concern whatsoever with a few thousand visitors from these two particular "generally law-abiding cities," and the nonchalant assertion that the SPD can handle it.
There is still visible damage--within a few blocks of Qwest Field--from the last such visit, and the SPD certainly hasn't forgotten.
- 4 November 2010 at 04:58
What damage would you be speaking of? The visiting supporters were herded in and out through a separate entrance and back onto the buses parked inside Qwest grounds. The main group of supporters never left the fenced off Qwest grounds.
The only incident I recall past that was posted all over Seattle's newspapers when some idiot Timbers fan got mouthy while he was all alone outside of the ground with some idiot Sounders fans and got punched up. I'm not aware of that being remaining visible damage.
I'd be willing to place a dollar that worse incidents off field happen with the meeting this weekend of the Washington Huskies and Oregon Ducks.

@Doug - Thanks for that post mate. Armed with those facts, it reinforces my feeling that it would be a complete folly only to allow 150 visiting fans for the big 'derbies' next season in Vancouver.
As for the other two posts - conflicting arguments. Either there has or hasn't been major trouble between the fans in the recent past? And we're not talking about one or two people having a pop at each other. That in itself shouldn't stop thousands of law abiding fans enjoying a game of football.

I know the incident the poster is refering to very well, having both seen the police report and spoken with Sergeant Whitcomb from the SPD about it.
It seems that in anon's desire to use this issue for a petty tit-for-tat between clubs, he has confused what happened with what he wants to have happened, or perhaps from what he read on a chatboard.
Three locals decided to pick on a Portland fan who was soon helped out by other Sounders fans nearby. There was no 'visible damage' and the Portland fan was not the instigator of any violence.
Incidentally, those 'Sounders fans' were certainly not ECS members and would have been thrown out if they had been.
So not only is the poor lad inventing stuff from his Green Street fantasies, but he misses the whole point of this story, which is that fans of all three clubs are putting the good of the game and the growth of the sport, above club rivalries in the most mature way.
And yes, you'd see far worse at other sports.

Another Sounders season ticket holder here to voice support for the away travelers. I plan to travel to Portland and BC next season, and I will buy whatever tickets I have to in order to see the games. Similarly, I hope to see a lot of Timbers and Whitecaps fans in my stadium for our home games.
The FOs of the clubs will have to recognize that they are leaving money on the table by restricting these sales, and while I see plenty of nicknames on the community sites for P'land and BC fans, I have never seen anyone looking to start physical relations with fans of rival clubs.

Last full day. Packed day.
We had three business lectures:
Shelly Bond from DC/Vertigo talked about working in comics, using James Jean and the Fables series as the example. She described what it's like to be a comic editor and talked about how an artist can market themselves to a comic company. The main lesson: drawing, drawing, drawing! My favorite line, "The important thing to know about black and white is, color wont save it."
David Saylor from Scholastic did a presentation on children's picture books, showing a number of examples -- the most exciting for me was a Jon J Muth Christmas book coming this fall. It's drop-dead gorgeous, but then isn't J always drop-dead gorgeous.
Both Shelly and David took time in the afternoon to walk around the studios, look at portfolios, and collect samples.
I gave my formal lecture of the week in the evening. I was, to tell the truth, very nervous about the whole thing (everyone's presentations were so good...a few were even tear-inducing) but I think I did alright. I spoke about my daily work concerns, how I find artists, what I look for in portfolios, my usual website rant, and ran through a project from thumbnail to book cover. The hour and a half flew by.
A quick dinner break. (Shout-out to Amherst's Fresh Side.) And then back to the studios. Back to painting. Back to critiquing. And even a bit of relaxing and talking and feeling sad that it would all be over tomorrow.
At 12;30 in the morning Charles Vess announced that he'd give his History of Fantasy Illustration 1850-2009 lecture. I think that epitomized everything I love about IMC. People were either shutting down, knowing the class was essentially over, or panicked to finish up as much as they could. Either way, everyone was tired. But given the opportunity to learn something new, we jumped at it and spent an hour in the middle of the night ooh-ing and ahh-ing over great and largely unfamiliar art.
I've seen Charles give this lecture before and each time it's been different -- which means I will have see it again at ComicCon this year.
Clean up. Closing remarks, with a few (and a few more) tears. And then we opened the studios as a gallery. A number of IMC alumni, other artists, and art directors drove in from surprisingly far away. Viewers were able to see the paintings created in class and flip through portfolios. Throughout the day everyone started signing each other's sketchbook...hours and hours of sketchbook signing. No one really wanted to leave.
IMC is the brain child of Rebecca Guay. If I sounded overly gushy all week it's because, through her remarkable and generous heart, Rebecca has created something truly special. I know all of the instructors came away supercharged and inspired. I feel confident that all of the students did as well. We are all indebted to her and her assistant, Sara. And being the greedy folk that we are, we're already excited about next year. IMC3, baby!

Article Highlights
The income statement shows the revenues, expenses and income recognized over a period of time. Companies use accrual accounting to show when revenues and expenses occured, as opposed to when is transferred. Gross and operating margins can help reveal important trends about how a company is performing.
Earnings results are followed closely by numerous investors, ranging from individual investors to analysts working at nancial research and brokerage rms. Earnings provide an ongoing score of a companys success or failure and are used to determine a companys value. A rms worth is dependent on its ability to earn money and generate future cash ows; reported earnings that differ, positively or negatively, from expectations (called an earnings surprise) can cause large movements in a stocks price. In this article, the second part in AAIIs Financial Statement Analysis series, I explain how to read and analyze an income statement. I discuss the major elements found in the income statement and show how each is used in stock analysis. The rst article in this series, Introduction to Financial Statement Analysis, was published in the January 2012 AAII Journal and can be found at AAII.com. What Is the Income Statement? The income statement presents the nancial results for a company over a specied period of time, typically one quarter or one year. The income statement presents the revenue (sales) generated during the period, the expenses incurred and the prot earned.
ment arguably presents the most important gure that companies reportearnings per share.
T he income state-
Typically, the income statement will provide the revenues followed by the cost of goods sold, the difference of which is the gross prot. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) and other operating costs are then deducted to reach the operating income. Non-operating income and expenses, or the income and expenses that are not essential to operations, are then deducted to reach net prot. The statement is meant to be read from top to bottom, from revenue to net income. Thus, net revenue is often referred to as the top-line gure and net income as the bottom-line gure. Accrual Accounting Before the income statement can be analyzed, it is crucial to understand two separate accounting methodologies. The accrual method of accounting records revenues and expenses when they are recognized, not when cash is actually transferred. Revenues are recorded when the sale has been completed, and expenses are recorded when the goods and services that generate the expenses are matched to the revenue. Alternatively, cash-based accounting records sales and expenses when cash is actually received or used. The differences between the methodologies are best illustrated through an example. In accrual-based accounting,

credit sales are included in revenues on the income statement for the period sales are recognized and are recorded as accounts receivable (unpaid invoices owed by customers) on the assets side of the balance sheet. Similarly, accrued expenses, or the unpaid expenses incurred while generating the current revenue, are presented as expenses in the income statement and recorded as a liability on the balance sheet. This differs from cash-based accounting, which records transactions when cash is actually used or generated. Cash accounting is used by individuals to manage their nances. When a person spends money on products, the cash transaction is recorded immediately, even if the product is one that will last several yearssuch as a dishwasher or a sofa. Cash-based accounting is better at tracking cash ows. However, accrualbased accounting improves a rms ability to match expenses with revenues. In most cases, U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) require accrual-based accounting. The Five-Step Format There are a number of income statement formats used for rms, but the ve-step format is useful in explaining the information provided by the statement. In Table 1, an income statement divides the statement into ve stepsrevenue, gross income, operating income, income before taxes, and net income. Simply looking at the bottomline gures may be misleading, since they can overshadow important trends. When analyzing an income statement, make sure to review each section when ascertaining a rms nancial health.
Revenue appears at the top of the income statement. Revenue is recognized and recorded on the income statement when the product has been delivered or the service has been rendered and the seller is reasonably sure that the product will not be returned. Both the risk and the reward of ownership must be transferred from the buyer
to the seller for the transaction to be considered nal. For example, some companies offer lenient return policies to encourage customers to purchase products. Book publishers and other media companies may allow unsold items to be returned for a refund as an incentive to carry their goods. In these cases, when it is reasonable to believe there will be some form of product returns, the companies are required to estimate an allowance for future returns. Net revenue reported on the income statement is typically net of the allowance for doubtful accounts. Accounts receivable (listed on the balance sheet) increases when a sale is made and cash is not exchanged. Accounts receivable represents the credit that is extended to a customer to purchase goods. This balance sheet item should move in tandem with sales. Accounts receivable increasing at a faster rate than sales is a cause for concern and should be investigated further. This type of trend can mean that the customers are struggling to pay their bills or the products are not selling. Certain revenue may not be recognized for the current reporting period, even if the payment is received in cash. Software providers, which often offer multi-year licenses, are a good example. A software company that receives cash payment for a multi-year subscription should not recognize the entire sum for the current reporting period since the delivery of the service covers a longer period and expenses related to the sale (e.g., product support) can be incurred in future periods. The manufacturer should recognize the revenue associated with the expenses that arise with the current portion of the payment, however. The rest of the revenue is reported in a liability account, titled unearned revenue, on the balance sheet. Recognizing revenue in this manner is in keeping with the principles of accrual accounting, which spreads out the revenues over the life of the license. This smooths out the reporting of income, rather than lumping a long-term contract into a single quarter. It may be difcult for an outsider
to recognize fraud in revenue recognition, but it is important to keep a keen eye on potential red ags, such as accounts receivable growing faster than sales. Furthermore, a change in how the company recognizes revenues should be investigated thoroughly.
Gross Income
Gross income, which is calculated by taking revenue and subtracting the cost of goods sold, represents the amount of prot a company earns by selling its products or services. Cost of goods sold is the cost a rm incurs by manufacturing or producing an item, such as material and direct labor costs. The cost can be signicant for traditional manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers, so the method used to determine this expense can have a big impact on the bottom line. To calculate cost of goods sold, most companies use either the rst-in, rst-out (FIFO) or last-in, rst-out (LIFO) method, although the average-cost method may also be used. FIFO assumes that the oldest inventory items are sold rst, whereas LIFO assumes the newest inventory items are sold rst. In an inationary environment, FIFO would yield a higher gross income, as the lower-cost items would be included in cost of goods sold. Management does have certain discretion when choosing between accounting assumptions for cost of goods sold, but any signicant change should be disclosed. Gross income and cost of goods sold are used by analysts to determine trends in production and labor costs. Gross margin, which is gross prot divided by revenue, varies by industry, but can give important insights into cost trends (it doesnt show up on the income statement, but is reported by many data sources along with other protability ratios). Be cognizant of increasing costs, because they will have to be either absorbed by the company, hurting prots, or passed on to the consumer, potentially hurting sales.

generated by a rms regular business operations, before interest, taxes, non-operating costs and extraordinary charges are accounted for. It is arrived at by subtracting total operating expenses from gross income. Total operating expenses are the sum of selling expenses, general and administrative expenses, research and development expenses, depreciation, and amortization. Operating expenses are incurred as a result of normal business operations. Generally, the rst major expense listed is selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A), which is overhead costs. These expenses are usually broken down into selling costs (typically marketing and advertising) and general and administrative costs (employee salaries, rent, insurance, electricity, etc.). The difference between cost of goods sold and operating expenses is that the former can be traced back to specic products, while operating costs are proportionally allocated to all products. Companies have a certain amount of leeway when determining which costs are direct costs of sales and which are not. Research and development expenses can be a large cost for companies in certain industries. Companies are only required to report research and development expenses as a separate line item if the amount spent is material. In AAIIs fundamental stock screening and research database Stock Investor Pro, about 2,600 companies out of the 10,000 in the database break out research and development as a separate line item. The vast majority of these companies operate within the technology and health care sectors. Research and development expenses, as a percentage of sales, are relative to the industry in which a company operates. Companies with higher research and development expenses in relation to sales should see higher growth or have higher expectations for future growth. A rm with a history of unsuccessful product releases may not be properly spending its research and development dollars. Depreciation is used to allocate the cost of capital investments that have long life spans, such as buildings and
machinery. The goal of depreciation is to spread recognition of the expense over the lengthy life span of a building or machine, as opposed to recording a large, one-time hit to income when the cash is actually used to pay for the item. Depreciation also factors in the likelihood that the property may have a nal salvage value. Depreciation is a non-cash expense that reduces the value of a capital (xed) asset listed on the balance sheet. The two most common depreciation methods are straight-line and accelerated. Straight-line depreciation deducts the value of the asset evenly throughout its life span. Accelerated depreciation will reduce the value of an asset faster during the rst few years of an assets life, causing higher depreciation expense, lower operating income and lower taxes early in the assets life. Amortization represents the longterm decline in value of intangible assets such as patents, copyright protections and other intellectual property. These intangible assets lose value as the rights near expiration. Like depreciation, amortization is a non-cash transaction. Operating income is a crucial line item that reects organizational productivity before considering how the rm was nanced or the contribution of non-business activities. Investors should always closely monitor operating income, as it provides insight into a rms core business operations. Operating margins, which are calculated by dividing operating income by revenues, should also be monitored (another protability ratio reported by data sources). It is important to examine a companys operating margins against those of other rms in the same industry, as certain industries have higher or lower operating margins. Signicant shifts and abnormally high or low operating margins should be scrutinized. EBITDA (pronounced EEE-BITDAH) stands for earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and is often used as a proxy for cash ow, or how much cash a company generates. In addition, companies may report EBITDA if they think it provides a better representation of performance.
Many companies use debt nancing. Interest expense is paid on outstanding long-term loans and is a form of non-operating expense. The expense is classied as a nancing expense, not an operational expense, and is therefore listed under non-operating expenses for rms in most industries. Alternatively, companies with an abundance of cash may be earning interest. Interest income is also listed in the non-operating section, with the notable exception of nancial companies or companies operating nancial divisions. Non-operating income or expenses can be listed together or separated out by line item. Other common non-operating expenses or income can include the gain or loss on sale of equipment or prots and losses from hedging activities. Subtracting operating and nonoperating expenses from gross income yields income before taxes.
Net Income
Net income is also known as a companys bottom line. This is the income available to all shareholders after all expenses have been taken into account. The nal items taken into account to arrive at net income are income taxes and adjustments to income. Income taxes are paid by companies at the federal and state levels. Income taxes can vary if there is a special situation allowing for a company to pay a lower tax expense or forcing it to pay a higher tax expense. Companies often maintain separate accounting books for investors and tax authorities. While the goal for reporting to investors is to report high earnings while staying within the GAAP, the goal of tax reporting is to minimize earnings in order to minimize tax liabilities. For example, I stated earlier that there are two separate depreciation methodsstraight-line and accelerated depreciation. Accelerated depreciation lowers taxable income during the rst years of an assets life, thereby lowering tax liability. A rm can opt to report to investors using straight-line depreciation, resulting in higher income early in
March 2012
the life of the asset, while using accelerated depreciation to report earnings to the IRS, resulting in a lower initial tax liability. The discrepancy will reverse itself during the later years of the assets life, when accelerated depreciation results in higher taxable income. There are a few notable items that are known as adjustments to income. These expenses, or income, are not consistently found from period to period, and cannot fall under either operating expenses or non-operating expenses. In our example, these expenses include an extraordinary gain or loss, a gain or loss on discontinued operations, nonrecurring items, and the cumulative effect of change in accounting. Extraordinary and non-recurring items are often combined in one line item. These events are unusual and infrequent in nature. The event must be related to the rms normal course of business. Gain or loss from discontinued operations is reported when a rm sells a portion of its business or closes down a line of business. Companies may also adopt new accounting policies or x past accounting mistakes. This can generate a one-time gain or loss that requires an adjustment to income. Income from subsidiaries and equity in other rms is also listed in this section. Earnings per Share Companies also include earnings per share (EPS) in the income statement, which is computed by simply taking the companys preferred dividends out of net income and dividing the result by the average number of shares outstanding. This is the earnings available per common share. If a company has convertible bonds or shares, stock options and warrants, diluted earnings per share must also be calculated. Diluted earnings per share represents the earnings available per common share, assuming all convertibles, warrants and options are exercised. Certain companies will also include
a short statement of retained earnings section. The statement of retained earnings details the amount of net earnings available to common shareholders that is paid out as dividends, and the amount that is retained at the rm for future expenditures and expansion. Analysis Revenue growth is a fundamental factor associated with strong companies. It is important to keep in mind that many companies are impacted by seasonal trends and that comparing revenues (and prots) on a sequential quarterly growth basis (e.g., comparing third-quarter sales to second-quarter sales) can be misleading. Retailers sell more during the holiday season than at any other time of the year, so its important to compare one quarters revenue with revenues from the same period one year ago. In addition, pay attention to the magnitude of growth and the actual dollar amount of sales. High growth rates are hard to maintain, especially given that 10% of $1 billion is a far smaller number than 10% of $10 billion. Furthermore, as a company gets larger, growth may slow as product markets become saturated. Be sure to also note whether growth is being driven organically (growth in existing and new products sales) or through the acquisition of competitors and other businesses. A rms ability to price its products is vital. Companies that are able to maintain high margins will attract increased competition, which can drive prices downward. Alternatively, companies with low margins typically offer commodity products, where products from different rms are not perceived as having signicant advantages over one another. These companies are especially sensitive to changes in the prices of raw materials and labor, as it may be difcult for them to pass off the price increases to their consumers. Be sure to also keep a keen eye on operating expenses. Consider why expenses have increased and whether
the increases in expenses are permanent or temporary. If permanent, consider whether a company will be able to pass these expenses on to its customers and remain protable. In the case of mergers or acquisitions, SG&A expenses in relation to revenue should fall if the change brings synergies. Arguably the gure about which investors are most concerned is earning per share. Typically, reported earnings per share is compared with analyst consensus earnings estimates. Even slight misses can send share price spiraling downward. Be sure to note how many analysts are following a stock and how many estimates are making up the consensus estimate. A consensus earnings estimate based on only one or two analyst estimates may not mean as much as one based on 20 or more estimates. It is also important to note that earnings per share growth can be misleading if there have been a number of share buybacks. Earnings per share may look higher simply because there are fewer shares outstanding. Conversely, if a company issues more shares, earnings per share will be reduced. Look at the share count numbers used to calculate earnings per share: Net income should change in the same direction and conrm what the change in earnings per share indicates about the companys growth rate. Conclusion The income statement provides insight on how a rm translates its revenue into net income. It is important to asses the numerous expenses that a rm incurs throughout the nancial period. Be sure to notice trends in revenues and expenses. Several years of declining revenues or prots can be a sign that a company is struggling. The next article in this series will appear in the May 2011 AAII Journal. It will thoroughly examine the balance sheet, which provides its own insights into a rms nancial well-being.

Pink Waterlily
SKU Code: WMRI
Moisture/Zone: Zone 4
Flower Colour: Pink
Growth Speed: Medium
Foliage Type: Deciduous
Foliage Colour: Green
Position: Full sun
A pretty, free-flowering waterlily. Flowers are a deep pink and cup shaped, deepening in colour towards the centre. Leaves are green. Planting depth 15 to 60 cm. Growth spread 90 to 180 cm.
Hardy Water Lilies
Surely the most beautiful of the water plants, water lilies produce lovely flowers that float on the surface of the water while the 'lily pads' provide hiding places for fish and all kinds of pond creatures. By shading the water the floating leaves help to reduce algae growth.
Water lilies should be placed in the deeper part of the pond, zone 4; check the information above for optimum planting depth. Gradually acclimatise young water lilies to deeper water (over 60 cm) by raising them on a block or shelf until growing vigorously.
For re-potting use Aquatic Soil that is free from impurities. Do not bury the tuber; just the roots should be buried in the soil. Angle the growing point so that it grows across the soil surface, and firm the soil down well. Top the container with Aquatic Gravel to prevent fish disturbing the soil. Do not allow the foliage to dry out, immerse in water immediately after re-potting. Water lilies are heavy feeders: add water lily fertiliser tablets when replanting, and once or twice during the growing season.
Remove decaying foliage regularly as leaves are constantly being replaced.
