8:31 am
long ago. they released the ipod nine months later. the store opened in 2003. it was such a big part of the music industry because they were losing revenue to napster, and so this was a solution. and they revolutionized music by selling songs for 99 cents. >> how do we feel about this death? >> i don't know how i feel about it either. this chapter loomed so large for a while ends up so brief. >> what's interesting, they bought the tunes for 99 cents and now their library disappeared. >> it moves forward into whatever the next generation is. most are getting their music from streaming services. >> so ownership is kind of a meaningless concept. >> butt has, in fact, rejuv nated the music business. >> you're talking to somebody who still has an ipod. >> really. >> yes, i do. >> you have it on your phone. >> i know. but it uses up the battery. >> batteries are living longer, gayle. >> i also have a topic you could

8:36 am
were surprised. were you? >> life is day to day. you don't know what's going to happen or who's going to say anything. what i do know is people -- there's a -- there's an understandable urge for people to take sides, to have opinions, even in the absence of information or only partial information. and the entire point of an investigation is to be thorough and get to the bottom of everything. it doesn't seem to -- for some people that doesn't matter, i suppose, but for due process, it matters greatly. >> it does matter that and for just the effort to get to whatever the truths that are out there. >> you did write in a public letter that's not in the book that the past year changed the way you think about personal space and you would rethink it and be more sensitive in the future. >> yeah. i have a lot of sort of spillage of personality. it's like, hey, how are you
8:37 am
doing? so the concept of personal space has evolved over the years, iny really range from big'to letters to your father. >> to calling him, tony, pooh-pooh head. >> one wrote deeply apologetic that when he was 10, he had accused of being a pew pew head for demoting pluto. he said, i'm deeply sorry for having hurt your feelings but i believe it now. but it was a deadpan letter with pooh-pooh head in quotes. that exchange is in there. >> you talk about how scientists could maybe communicate better. how so. >> we're not trained to communicate. we're trained to be in the lab and get our work done. to cross over could be awkward, difficult, even impossible for many. so what's important here is to at least have analogies that
8:38 am
people can relate to. if you have some ail millionaire, you to a doctor. the doctor says here's a pill that 3% of the researchers say will kill you. here's another one that doctors say there's a 97% chance it will kill you. they're going to take the 97% pill. >> this is called your most personal book to date. i love what you say about your children. you say people ask how do you teach your own children. you don't worry about what they know but how they think. when you see something are your curious about it? do you poke it? do you probe it? think about how much effort parents put in to keep a neat house in the presence of creating children. >> guilty. >> no. the entropy they create, the disorder of the house is the consequence of them being curious. >> one of the consequences is
