there are a lot of reports but what do we know? know for sure that these people have left twitter. jason's off the head of vine has left twitter. adding toat they are members of the board based on information from sources. we also know they are getting close to hiring a cmo. many changes at the top. expected with jack dorsey coming in in october and evaluating things. it has been a couple of months and he knows what is working and what is not working. people know if they want to work with him. emily: we have seen a revolving

door at twitter. some heartfelt tweets from the people that are leaving. om: this is a changing of the guard. new people to advise jack. we don't know if they're going to hire a new head of product. it may not be necessary as much as jack is in charge of products. in any ceo transition you see

this kind of turnover. this is twitter. he lives in a public space. they have a bigger glare on them right now. i don't think it is anything unusual. no onea regular company would notice. sara: jack has another job so for him to be the product visionary at twitter it takes on a lot. he felt compelled to take on this responsibility. he feels that he could turn around twitter. the presence of a founder is always very helpful. whoever the founder is. there's a certain level of empathy that is acquired. i am not really that upset about

these people leaving. they have moved on to the next big thing. emily: i want them to succeed the stock continues to drop. do you think jack dorsey can turn things around? david: i don't know honestly. i hope so. i think this is a little bit it isl in the sense that at a sinking ship but it is ship that has a captain that is really eager to make big changes. he has a vision of twitter is a fundamentally consumer oriented company. that is not really what has been functioning as. it may be that the people who

have left are people who more or they go it believe has been. emily: does twitter become a bigger part of the conversation? om: there has been only one successful turnaround ever, and that was apple. done by a longshot steve jobs. it could easily have gone the other way. we came in bringing up steve jobs but technology is not really about turnarounds. in the case of twitter we have to leverage the expectations. not every company has to have a billion users. not every social media service has to be as big as facebook.

it has been in the same place for a very long time. it needs to start making incremental movements leading up to big changes. in order to be relevant. to be a billion user company. they could be a 500 million user company. that would be just fine. the lack of growth is because there has been a lack of creative thinking around how to get it moving. david: twitter remains way too hard to use for ordinary people. that has to change. same problems that ordinary people felt from the beginning are still there. jack thinks that a lot of people should be able to use twitter just by reading what other people tweet. he hasn't conveyed that. peopleazed at how many don't even realize you can use

it that way. that is a serious problem. it was never going to be the size of facebook. it could be a very much bigger company that it is. not the way functions today. emily: u.s. stocks slipped on monday after their first weekly advance this year. >> the bottom fell out of the markets right at the end of the trading on monday. breaking a two-day winning streak from last thursday. oil was to blame. the pci crude also hit another low.

emily: ahead of its earnings report, apple is ringing and a product that will have faster chips and more capacity. perhaps a new product will help revive apple's stock. investors are craving signs of growth. the shares are down five and a half percent this year. down 13% since the last earnings call. can apple get back to blockbuster growth, and where with that growth come from? the broader markets are also down.

applerd: i think that will be able to develop some growth but that growth any aggregate in the overall smartphone category i think they will struggle to get over 5% growth going forward over the next few years. when you think about all the product cycles that they are going through right now. they may see individual quarters when they grow up to 10%. we are going into a new era now. it has different growth associated with it. make no mistake. they have built an unrivaled unparalleled ecosystem and that system will continue through disproportionate amounts of value to apple in the years coming. emily: we know they've been

working on a car. what are the chances that apple can create another blockbuster category like the iphone? david: i think the chances are pretty good. we don't know what might be. i don't rule out the possibility that it could be the watch after it goes through a few more .terations cars are huge opportunity for apple. if they really do well with the software in cars they could get out of this cycle there in right now. where they are a hardware with the much lower margins than some of the companies there compared to. i am optimistic about their ability to make big product category changes.

emily: could the watch be the next big product category? crawford: not anytime soon. wearables will be a category. but it is more likely than not in commercial applications. eyewear as well as other kinds of wearable devices. as far as the car is concerned apple may want to buy tesla but think they would only do it ip.r then nailing the software for cars is really important it is about them collecting data and then making better predictions from that data. better proximity decisions. knowing what your context is. that means leveraging back to that smartphone ecosystem because they will be a lot more smartphones moving in cars that

there will be cars with apple's operating system anytime soon. it comes back to them expanding the smartphone category. emily: apple has been the subject of so many perception shifts. is apple at risk of becoming a ittim of this shift where becomes more of an intel or an oracle and not a growth stock? david: i don't think that is the way to think of it. with is a consumer company perhaps the greatest global brand. those other companies don't have anything like that. worst could start selling other stuff that maybe

isn't even is good but it has this amazing perception that could help it in a lot of businesses. i think the problem is not so much that it is becoming a value it is a hardware business and they don't have a killer new product. emily: alphabets closing in on apple as the world's most valuable company. could alphabets surpass apple as the most viable company? david: i think it probably well. if things like that matter. google has a software business and those things can grow. the markets are extraordinary. google is doing silly things so many things right. we don't have the fundamental

emily: some companies are developing original music themed series. david: i will do have to remember when mtv actually played music videos. i think it could succeed. people are giving spotify a lot of their attention. if there is video they are the grips people i think they will watch it. there's every reason to think that they like so many other players were trying to move up can do that. it wasn't the first thing i thought about. it, ire i mused about realize it's a real possibility for them to succeed.

lucas: what it takes to stand out tends to be original content. something nobody else has. youtube is the king in this area. because they have every video imaginable. popular because it has users on there for something else. spotify they need something sexy to bring people in and make them realize there are videos there. it is not a nap where people are spending hours actively scrolling through spotify. you tend to pick something in put on right away. they will need some compelling programming. my first reaction was that this was good for their business. advertising supported audio

stream is not that big. spotify makes money charging people for subscriptions. david: it is very possible that they will eventually show video ads. the high-end of the tech business is where so many of the bigger companies and the more ambitious companies are trying to do a wider variety of things. spotify is clearly not exempt from that. they construct doing all kinds of entertainment stuff. maybe down the road they will compete with netflix. emily: they say that clothes make the man. who likes choosing what to wear to work? is never a problem for some people.

that. it is not something that might happen, this is happening now. i just looked up -- the san francisco airport train has no drivers and it has been there since 2003. i remember when i first wrote that, i thought, that is the future of jobs. concern among of leaders about what happens when we, the eminent elite of the world start getting resented for continuing to make money when ordinary people do not have any income. that is what they're worried about. emily: in fact, the world economic forum calculated over 5 million jobs will be lost by 2020 and 15 major and emerging economies. on the one hand, you have people saying that this will be a huge change and it will be painful. on the other, there are people who say robots will not take our jobs, innovation is just going to create more jobs. who is right? david: everybody is right and nobody really knows. there is no question my opinion that new jobs that we cannot

imagine now will get created as we move into a more automated future. the problem is the transition and him as everybody agrees that however optimistically you are about the long-term, there's going to be tremendous his location in the short term. like i said, even one of the reasons we are seeing all of this uptake for donald trump and bernie sanders right now is that people are feeling that they do not have the jobs that they want and the incomes that they want. it is partly because of automation now. emily: it will surly be an argument to watch. david: anchors are still ok, emily. emily: except on people start watching online. david could patrick with us for the hour. ate wi-fi, you can find it starbucks and airports and countless coffee shops, but one place you would likely still have to pay is luxury hotels which are still charging customers for internet access. but, a report from residents consultancy says that it is the number one change while the travelers want ahead of privacy.

new users and developing countries. that is why they put so much behind this free basics program that has become very controversial in india. they will continue to just power forward. they have not had a backorder practically in memory. the last couple of years, anyway. i think they do not really need a new source of growth. their business as it is structured now is going forward beautifully. i think they will start making more and more money from instagram, though. emily: exactly. do you see instagram, or potentially messenger, or oculus -- becoming a much bigger part of the facebook story? bigger than facebook, itself? data: bigger than facebook itself, probably not. instagram will become a bigger and bigger part of the company. they have a limited the fee. instagram is kind of replacing facebook for young people in the united states. it does not even bother them. that may continue globally and they could shift a lot of their focus that way.

most interesting things to watch when it comes to amazon these days? are someere interesting things about amazon, but they had a killer holiday quarter. we talked endlessly about how well they did and how much e-commerce happened around christmas. i think that a retailer has become, in some ways the dominant enterprise company, software innovator with her amazon web services is an amazing development that if i were abm nhp and cisco and others, i would worry about that. i love my amazon and go. there is something probably the national -- apple wishes it had invented. emily: i have been hearing a lot of reviews about amazon echo. i do want to turn to alibaba. continuing questions about how ambitious alibaba has become. and bonnie, you're been looking closely at this. why are investors feeling this way right now? bonnie: short interest in

off-line stores. basically, a lot of it has to do with the people's concerns over china, in general. digest this to week. alibaba, facebook, amazon, microsoft, apple. thank you all for joining us. to technology and politics colliding. this time, a slightly failed attempt at a -- a hawaii county councilman who is running for state senate decided to try to reach of voters through social networking site. specifically, the dating application, tender. buttactic was innovative, it did not pan out as he plans. tinder is of course a dating at. we are told that the honolulu civil be, that after he connected with users, he would steer the conversation back to his platform. he has since pulled his campaign from the application.

database aspect is so huge, running a gigantic software backend is going to be necessary to provide the guidance for these vehicles and the intelligence behind them. i think baidu is just as likely to do that well as google. emily: explain how f along they are when it comes to developing self driving cars? specifically compared to google. baidu has been very quiet about what it is doing with all driving cars. it is the largest search engine in china. it has also been investing a lot of money into artificial intelligence, also has a winning position in mapping technology within china. the argument that they would make is china's a market that is different from other markets, so that they feel like they have a home field advantage when it comes to developing this technology. they can partner with local carmakers and they have some insight into how the china market is going to work for drivers as opposed to other markets in the world. emily: what is interesting is

that they may well have an advantage in china, is not here in the united states. and he also spoke to why that is. take a listen to what he said about the chinese car market, specifically. >> many people who are returned after years of living abroad find out they are not used to driving in china. they are afraid of driving in china because the conditions on which -- are more chaotic. they have a robot that is trained on u.s. roads. it would struggle to adapt to the way that chinese people crossroads. our robots, are trained on chinese rise. emily: i thought that was interesting point, david. i wonder, china is one thing, can they stack up the competition in the united states? david: who knows and we will really have self driving cars, anyway. also, i would just note that baidu is one of the so-called companies with alibaba, and every one of the three wants to do everything. it would not also price me of alibaba got in on this as well.

i think chinese software is likely to work best on chinese roads, if and when we have self driving cars. for sure. emily: interesting, peter, what you make of that suggestion? peter: i know you visited china recently and you have seen the conditions of traffic in china. in the chaos that you can see on the road there. i think he has a point. china roads are pretty good test case for the kind of sensitivity that you would need any self driving systems. i think that is probably a good test case. there will be a home field advantage in china and may be more challenging to expert technology. it will be a big market. they will do well in china and try to expand elsewhere. emily: an urban jungle, indeed. in beijing, peter. and david compassion. thank you both so much for joining us today. it is time now for today's edition of best day ever. who is having a good one today? well, it depends on how much he
