sam, people talked about the smart watch for two years, two years, now it's here. is this the device to push wearles to the mainstream? >> just like in a relationship with somebody, sometimes it's the things you don't say that speak the loudest, and apple had some glaring omissions at this big event that they still have not answered, mainly the battery time for the watch. they said how long the battery on the iphone 6 lasts, but did not say about the watch. i wonder one in three people abandoned wearable tech after six months of buying it, and one of the reasons was the battery. i wonder about that. they did not talk about the fringe the print technology for your phone. the watch does not have that. somebody grabs my watch, $349, are they going to buy whatever they want and go on a shopping spree? >> i feel it's redundant. people run with their phones, clothing made to stash jr. phone. this is -- is it redundant? >> it could be in some respects. with regard to the battery

11:33 am
k customer, making that customer happy and fearful they were falling behind because they lacked the larger screen a lot of premium customers wanted. now they are delivering on that. that could be a huge -- >> finally. >> that could be a huge deal for apple. >> steal android customers here possibly. >> fat margins? >> to your point, top of the line phone is a hundred dollars more than the last top of the line phone. it's a bigger screen, but they are not going after the price sensitive customer. a lot of interest on apple. we'll see how it plays out. could be a record next week, biggest public offering of all tile, alibaba, it's a mix of amazon, e bay, and paypal, the chinese version, and could raise $24 billion. that would top visa's ipo in 2008. would crush facebook in 2012. alibaba customers and operations in china. it's not a household name in the
11:34 am
u.s. what is it? why should we care? it's huge. >> it is, but to your point, it's a cocktail of all the companies you mentioned, plus a couple chasers, right? they got a mapping app. they are getting into social media. they are trying to get people to buy mutual funds on their platform. it's much more than what we think of in the u.s. with amazon and paypal. why important to u.s. -- the u.s.? well, it's basically because you might end up with a piece of this company inside your investment fund, and you don't know it. >> but my big question, though, you talk about here in the u.s., have you purchased something from alibaba? >> absolutely not. >> you? >> nope. >> you are smart shoppers. i tried to do t. it was chinese to me, literally, the site is not translated in english, and you get to the one in english, it's difficult to buy something. not that greats. >> jack, it's a name we can say. >> you have to trust jack. investors are going to. >> excellent.

is it time to cut the credit cards? most millennials do not have them, and 63% of americans do not own a single credit card. prepaid debit cards are their style, but forget plastic of any kind. apple wants you to leave the wallet at home and pay for everything with your iphone6. the big question? is it safe? jose takes a look. >> reporter: since when is the wallet being thin a good thing? welcome to the future brought to
11:51 am
you by apple. >> that is so cool! >> reporter: the new iphone6 has something called apple pay, letting you store and use your credit cards just by scanning your phone. with technology that sends your payment to your phone to the register, it's call the nfc. stands for mirror cool communication. it's an antenna inside the phone that delivers short encrypted radio waves with your payment data. it's been around for a while. it's used on google wallet, paypal, and a few other services. is it safe? well, turns out that it's a lot safer than the credit cards used today, and it's harder to steal data. for one thing, your phone does not give out your credit card number, but creates a one-time use code that gets approved by the bank for every transaction. that code on the back of the credit card? that changes with every transaction too, so even if hackers hack their way into a store and grab this payment
11:52 am
data, it's useless to them because each code can only be used once. plus, even if someone steals your phone, you can actually wipe all the credit cards off of it remotely. you can't do that with a wallet. use the wallet, you call the bank for each and every card to cancel that card. while it's difficult for celebrities like kate upton and jennifer lawrence to trust apple right now, turns out, apple and nfc are safer ways to pay than plastic. >> another reminder this week of how unsafe the current payment system is. home depot confirmed a hack, and we broke the story when a huge batch of stolen data turned up in the cyber crime underground. as many as 60 million cards could have been compromised. discovering the target hack from last year, that hack hit 40 million kacards. i asked, if you shop at home depot this summer is your information for sale on the dark
11:53 am
web? >> if it's not yet, it will be soon. i think it's good likelihood of that, yes. >> should the company have known? should they have known, given that every month this year, basically, we've had a huge hack. aren't they monitoring the dark web like you are? >> well, so, yeah, i mean, it's difficult to say what they should and shouldn't have known. there are -- i don't know that the companies are monitoring the dark web. certainly law enforcement, the banks are, but, certainly, a lot of people will be asking the question, you know, what, if anything, did home depot learn from this target breach since pretty much everything is almost exactly like the target breach from the malicious software used to the site that these stores ended up for sale on. even to the reporter who tells the world about it. >> do you think americans are just so tired of hearing about these hacks that they are losing
11:54 am
the outrage? >> i think there's a little bit of that for sure. i think that's a fair criticism. unfortunately, it does not change the reality on the ground for these companies, be they retailers or fortune 100 companies. the fact is that if the discussion about security, about the stuff that matters, about the things that impact the company's bottom line when they are exposed, if that discussion is not driven from the top down, from the board level, you know, the companies are going to eventually have one of these problems. >> more to come on this, no question. all right. coming up, princeton, harvard, and yale, are best schools in the country. the grads do not make you the most money. the colleges that make the most when you graduate and the little thing they all have in common next.
