with corporate e-mail access, but the california supreme court said if you are arrested, police can look through your phone the same way they look through your pocks. the state court said you lose your right to privacy if you are arrested. at least when it comes to items you carry on your person. you are not necessarily required to tell them a password. the decision runs cowner to other decisions including federal courts. we have not heard the last on this. when are cell phones really cell phones? smart phones are big in lock up and a lot of them are playing farmville made by peninsula's zinga. guards at san quentin said they found a cell phone in charles manson's cell. not only are prisoners using phones to communicate with the outside world, but to communicate with each other that worries the guards most. at least 9,000 phones were found in california prisons last year.

visibility. fog in passes and antioch because of the amount of traffic. lucky antioch. back to you. >> lucky us. heading back to work. >> bring your extra heavy jacket. when you head out, you might have ice. bring your credit card that is maxed out and you can't use it anymore. that's a good one to do the windshields with. >> or the cards that are obsolete. we will find frost until about 10:00 a.m. throughout the bay area. fog is a bigger factor this morning. really dense fog in the east bay. we have a dense fog advisory issued for all of solano county. looking good along the peninsula and the south bay. we have a good visibility. east bay not so good. worse off in the north bay. here's what you can count on into southern california or towards the central valley this morning. a dense fog advisory in place until 10:00 a.m. for the san joaquin valley. that will remain the case probably for tomorrow morning as

well. keep that in mind if you will be commuting out of the area. high pressure firmly in control. what's happen suggest high pressure moves in and compresses all that remnant moisture and the fog and we have clear skies and so that leads to no heat trapped in from the cloud cover. we have lots and lots of sunshine to look forward to as a result for today. temperatures will be warmer as well. 57 degrees is the high for today warming up to 60. love that 60. down to 57 with showers on the way towards the end of the week. back to you. >> looks nice, thanks. >> the hot trend for 2011 could be getting a new job. the economy could mean a real and lasting come back. >> a lot of people expect facebook to sell stock. would you buy it? >> an action to make food safer to eat. we will show you what's happening. >> how the commute is picking up across the bay area.

billion long-term. they want to turn it around. goldman could make big bucks as new shareholders bid up the company. would you invest in facebook? today in the bay's bob redell has more. good morning, bob. >> good morning. that's the question that has been on our minds a few blocks down for the headquarters and people getting the early morning cup of coffee outside of starbucks. we turn to our facebook home page to get that answer. we found one viewer, cedric would not invest in facebook. his general thinking is that he thinks that the social site will peak soon. it would be like my space and the users fade. no, i would not invest. here's what others think. >> it has a lot of momentum and a lot of traction in the market place. it would probably be a buy. there would be a lot of

momentum. >> what he means is the initial shares would be mighty expensive. you may recall when google ipoed, they peaked at $85. looking at the live cnbc website, they are only at $604. google would not have been a good investment. who knows. >> i will stick to the business news on that one. my space we hear could cut as many as half of its employees sometime this week. we watch facebook gain and my space lose. >> it will be interesting to see what happens. >> it's past the come and go. time is 6:19. we want to check in with mike inouye to find out how fast people are coming and going on the roads. >> there still less cars than the typical commute day.

we will have somewhat of a sense of what that might be. they could pass the house, but not the senate where democrats hold a slim majority. you were talking about speaker pelosi who said that to repeal the new health law would be like putting insurance companies in charge of your health care. a couple of things could happen. democrats will fight tooth and nail to make sure it doesn't happen might try to force piece meal votes on this and not repeal the whole thing. force republicans to go on record piece by piece regarding which parts they don't like. republicans if in fact they can't get it done and it's really iffy in the senate may try to play around with the funding for health reform. this is not fully gone through the appropriations process. there parts of the new law where the funning is still in question and republicans are in charge of the committees. we will be making those

commissions. brent? >> breaking about even this morning. we can get through the first five days of trading with positive. we will end up positive for the whole year. i can't give you an accurate share price for facebook because it's not a publicly traded company, but it may be soon. the big investment on sunday night puts greater pressure on the palo alto company to go public. it would be one of the biggest, but would you buy into facebook? bob redell has reaction on the street. good morning, bob. >> good morning. outside of starbucks a few blocks down from the headquarters, people think it would be a no brainer to invest in facebook. there is also the question the

share price being highly expensive and diminishing the value. this guy right here, would you invest in facebook if it went public? >> it would be a great opportunity in the new year. we are looking for something to kick start economy. . >> the question of value. say the shares are super high. are you going to get the return you want? >> if it's anything like what google was, six or seven years ago, i think hopefully the expectation would be that it would double if not triple. >> happy new year to you. we are looking at cnbc.com. google ipo'ed around 85. now at a measly $602. we went to the facebook morning page and it was a different train of thought. maybe the only contrarian thought we heard.

one viewer suggesting that they think that facebook is saturated with 500 million users and they are hitting their peak and they will go the way of my space in terms of popularity. just a contrarian thought. scott? they melee off half of the staff. we don't know it may ipo, but they are on it to get moving on a public offering. >> everybody always wants to hit it big. remember the little company called apple and the company called krispy kreme? a look at where they put restaurants. "usa today" find out people are not too comfortable wandering for their gates and fewer airlines are serving food. they are looking at taking

restaurants and food stands to the people. jfk airport in new york has two open air restaurants at busy gates. you can expect to see it move to airports across the country very soon. we want to check in with mike for a look at the commute. a couple of things to keep an eye out for. >> a number of accidents in the system. this is much different. we have the traffic break waiting for the southbound 280 with an accident at vine. right now it's a hazard south of 87. northbound as well and 85 slowing slow downs. past actually at 36 is the slowing we haven't seen all week last week. 880 has two incidents. one southbound and one northbound at auto mall. both affect the drive out of fremont. back to you with the slow down at the bay bridge toll plaza. >> look at that. a lot of folks out there. parra are if you have to head

out to the central valley, lots of fog. >> lots of fog all the way throughout the san joaquin from fresno to sacramento. be careful. 34 degrees in livermore. we will warm up nicely by noon. as you take your lunch break, you will be peeling off a layer. 51 in oakland and as you head home tonight, temperatures rebound into the upper 50s. a comfortable day and 59 degrees in oakland. take a look at the extended forecast. temperatures are going to stay nice and warm for this time of year. 60 degrees for thursday. not speedo weather, but you may be able to get away with short sleeves. >> it's never speedo weather. thanks f jning us >> the "today" show is coming up next. people! look at you!
