>> live , welcome to the early addition of bloomberg west. i am emily chang. the focus is on innovation, tech knowledge he, and the future of business. google selling its motorola handset is this for $2.9 billion and this has major implication for the relationship with all those who use the android operating system. first, an exclusive story about the future of facebook. celebrateepairs to its 10 year birthday next week. in theined now here

studio. you sat down with the zuckerberg. he is writing down plants for 10 years from now. >> right. going through a lot of self reflections. dayears since his first with his wife. a couple of things jumped out to -- as surprising. they are talking about the day strategy.obile a lot of emphasis on the mobile network itself. they're going forward and introducing an initiative. they are doing more apps. we hear about the first one today. be morey wants to flexible about the way people use a split's products. they do not want to consider it a clone. features but very

much like footboard, it is a way to look at friends and articles and photographs in interesting ways. we consider it to be a newsreader and it is really another way to consume the facebook newsfeed without all the clutter of other features on your phone. >> do you have to use your facebook login and be connected? >> right. there was so much emphasis on real identity. they watched as rival services like twitter and snapshot got a -- use a lot of pseudonyms and not use real identities. instagram has been successful. there is flexibility. mark was very passionate and that beinghor anonymous online was a form of

duplicity. considering is also >> other services like this, you do not have to log in with your real identity. >> right. some of them will not be branded facebook. some of them, you could log on to anonymously. a different strategy, showing a lot more flexibility than some of the orthodoxies of the past. >> he said it is important for me because he is a really critical person. he is generally not happy with how things are. everyone is their own worst critic, but you do not normally hear a ceo say that. >> it is in the vein of steve jobs at apple. always pushing the boundaries and wanting to get better and being pretty relentless pushing

his own crew. whys one of the reasons facebook just announced great earnings. in the mobile shift the company faced in the last few years, mark drove the company. andou walked into the demo did not show mobile first, he ended the meeting. >> let's talk more about earnings. facebook stock is going crazy today. i want to bring you in. you cover facebook. they just announced yesterday that mobile ad revenue is now 53% for the very first time. it is the majority. do you feel like facebook figured it out? >> they figured it out. they misted early on. they pivoted and it is one of we most interesting pivots

have seen in the space in the last five years. theirave now made this keepry point and it will getting bigger as percentage revenue. they need to do this because the biggest trend in consumer internet today is mobile. if you are not upfront like google was and google probably is, facebook caught up and now they are ahead here it >> what grade do they get? >> abe. -- >> . -- b. this is a company with clear use cases. will we use facebook in the future as a primary tool? probably not. a primary way to get the internet, probably not there that is twitter but maybe. they will get the provision. >> the facebook of the future --l be more like your caber

cable provider. everyone will have it but it is not necessarily fun. class that is probably a theiment that captures feelings of facebook's younger users. you look at the engagement process on mobile in particular. they are the highest in the history. next up is into -- instagram. there is something about the service -- people are addicted to that app. click someone tweeted at me yesterday saying they are innected in the family several different countries because of facebook. we are seeing the growth in mobile active users is slowing down. the opportunity that remains is the rest of the world. were you?ation >> growth has to slow down. you can only grow growth so

quickly. only one major market and that is china. they need to get growth in countries like indonesia and brazil. they are a little behind the curve in russia. driver forbiggest facebook is probably going to be monetizing their user base. they will probably go from here to 10% for the next couple of years. they only generate about two dollars in average per user per day. google does eight dollars per quarter. they should probably be able to increase the monetization over the next couple of years. that is where the revenue growth will come and. it all helps. >> one country that is growing fast is snapshot. it is processing more photos per

day than facebook. mark zuckerberg tried to buy snapshot and they turned him down. there has been controversy. you asked him about evan siegel publicizing private messages from zuckerberg. he said, that is probably not what i will -- what i would have done. entrepreneurs always asked me what state -- what mistakes they should try not to make. you will mess up all the stuff and we have as well. >> it seems like a non sequitur and i thought about and he was obliquely calling evan's actions in that situation a mistake. what was also not captured in transcripttrip -- was a long pause where you could see he could should probably not say something right now but he could not resist. important to note in facebook's early state, mark

cheeky.was a little he was telling his users to calm down and take a breath during the first newsfeed. you see these guys acting road elliott slate and confronting the previous juggernaut and hoping at every turn. >> we talked about how he has grown up. his goal is to write a thank you note. >> everyday. he gives himself annual challenges. in previous years, it was to learn chinese. every time he would eat meat, he wanted to kill the animal himself. i asked him what the challenge was this year and it was to write a thank you note either in e-mail or handwritten. i asked him who has received the notes and he declined to tell me. coveredat story on the this week.

we will continue the conversation after the break talking about google and this big deal selling the business, coming up. ♪

>> welcome back. google has agreed to sell to anova for just under $3 billion. google bought motorola mobility in 2012. take a listen. [indiscernible] androidor player in the ecosystem. means more on what this what has amassed. go

how much did google actually end up paying for the company? >> let me take you through it. i will go glenn beck with you with a chalkboard. billion back out. 2.9 billion in cash. they sold the business for 2.4 billion. they sold everything else with the patents. they paid $4.2 billion for patents they are trying to use offense of late, suing people like apple. led far, none of these have to any injunctions. it is an open question what the true value of the patents is. >> where does this leave google in terms of the handset makers out there. they were walking a fine line in allfirst place given that

the others use android. >> hattie think sam sung felt to have the provider of its operating system selling phones in a major way. to suddenly be competing head to gettingh sam sung billing agreements with the carriers. sam sung made some waves at the show, suggesting may be a lot of the operating stuff google wants , there was a study that said as of phones that have android do not have the products. by keepingat risk motorola. whatever headaches they thought they would get in the hardware business, maybe worse. the other problem is the headaches they took on were massive losses every quarter from motorola. $248 million.

big losses from google in that handset business. sung, andthat, sam the questionable value of patents. google takes it on the chin here. christ hang on. i want to ring in brad stone. we know google and sam sung signed a broad licensing deal having to do with patents. do you think there is anything more to that deal? ? >> they gave sam sung greater incentive to do that. i love cory's map. it tells you for a $400 billion name, google, they generate the cash on a quarterly and gave themselves a

hedge or patent protection. two years ago, the spikes were a lot more than now. out pretty well for google. they have patent protection >> he thinks it is not that big a deal. >> i agree with mark that they deactivate a potential bomb in the form of destructive litigation. they clearly had ambitions around turning more to roll into the pre-eminent manufacturer and a longtimeled executive at the head of motorola. and it didtaffing up

not work out. cory pointed out, it created a lot of conflict in the android ecosystem. you know, in that respect, it was a misstep. as mark points out, they got value out of it. they keep the patents. in the overall scheme of the incredible as this, it is probably not -- klesko into innovo, he will stay at google. we will continue the conversation after the break. up next, i want to talk more about where this leaves google in the future. thed called it the ge of 21st-century. i want your thoughts on the analogy. ♪

>> welcome back. brad stone of bloomberg businessweek. johnson, larry page made it clear google is still in the hardware business when it comes to the robotics companies a bot, the cars they are making, and i just bought the thermostat company. google is called the ge of the 21st century yesterday. mark, what do you think of that come paris and? >> you've got probably the leading internet company with a company that should be making bold that's. they would not be with android today if they had not made that that. that several years ago and should be making these kinds of bets just like dea does -- ge

but -- ge does. it is a couple of billion dollars lost here and there. they are making appropriate risks. they are sizing them correctly. this move, google should be there. whether in the future, maybe they'll end up doing that. they will certainly learn a lot. >> they do a lot of futuristic products. goal of the next 10 years? >> wow. it continues to be primarily a search on pinnie so powerful that it allows them to also be futurologist. that is basically what they are. came upon a very powerful business and advertising, really creating an incredible revenue source they want to push the boundaries of technology.

i was astounded spending time there. they are just kind of fulfilling their passions and trying to push the boundaries and pursuing what interests them. there does not have to be a lot of financial discipline there. they can experiment a lot. it is hard. >> lest i forget about the health care company they are working on where they are trying to cure death. where do you think google is in the next 10 years. >> i am sorry to disagree, but i think it is a confused company. history in the industry, it does not have to be technology. i understand some of the notions . the motorola mobility business, but i think the risk here, and

it ipart of their dna. let people explore projects that are not centered to their core mission. -- problem is the conscious the company is not spending -- is spending a lot of time in things that are not core to their mission. coming up all the markets and business is great and the economies are growing because of spending and federal stimulus. that will not always be the case. they will someday want those billions of dollars back. class we want with -- we talk about google. their enemies and friends to a certain extent. how the changes affect their relationships with each other. class they all have extremely business. amazon, google, which of these companies is most competitive?

you have to put google and the that areas the two really competing most aggressively. amazon was so different. these companies will increasingly encroach on each other and draw away at dollars from each other. they are the two companies that compete the most. all of these are side bets. i think they are actually very smart side bets. they may beoint is distractions if you keep them at small billion-dollar distractions, that is ok. google selling the motorola business is an indication google is worrying a little less than apple. apple has shown just a fanaticism about high-end iphones. the really did not address lower market. google realizes it does not have to compete directly with apple because andrew has so much of the market. >> the next 10 years will be interesting. ok. cory johnson, thank you.
