and microsoft. people are locked into their operating system. you are one click away from escaping google. i understand that but when you are that successful as you have been, and, i mean you were given lots of things from your laptop to your fin to your boss's etc.. is very easy to lose sight of the real world and if he were an engineer and may be living in this type of community, you have advantage of being on the internet and microsoft avoided and didn't have that kind of exposure that you have to other opinions, you are at risk, and it is worth probably thinking about. in any case, in my visits to your planet, and i'm not coming back in any regular way, well, i will miss the food, i learned a lot and i thank you for that. i had nothing but hospitable people and wonderful interviews here. thank you and i welcome your questions.

microsoft wanted to digitize books. neither of them got the same deal that google got... got secretly, but if they had we'd be all be better off because of it. >> reporter: questions like those are being debated around the world. at stanford, top librarians met recently to wrestle with how to adapt to the new on-line book resources, and whether to cooperate with digitizations of their collections. and bookstores like berkeley's pegasus-- already in competition with discount booksellers-- have to adapt as well. this store now sells digital books through its web site. besides the competition from on- line books, store owner amy thomas also worries about privacy of digital book buyers. >> they have a right to read without being having their reading records subpoenaed for whatever reason. they have a right to this privacy and we will hope that google will maintain, zealously maintain, defend those rights. >> reporter: pam samuelson is equally skeptical of google's privacy policies. she puts her trust in libraries. for its part, google says it has been a huge advocate for user

that's good for internet commerce, it's good for whoever's going to sell that book like amazon or microsoft or yahoo! or the next big web company that's going to sell a book. so there's certainly a commercial interest involved, and google benefits from both the search part of it, and it will benefit also from the distribution of these books. they haven't started yet, but they want to print these books, they're going to scan them first, and then they're going to print them and sell them to you too. that's when the commercial interests came in and said, hey, stop. we've got some major concerns over this settlement you've struck with authors and publishers because you, google, are going to have first dibs and much more control than we think is fair. so that's the commercial aspect of it, and that, again, intersects with with some of the regulatory reviews taking place right now in washington at the department of justice and at the u.s. copyright office, and they're asking some really hard questions about how does this new web model fit into some of our regulatory prisms and understanding how d

." >> sreenivasan: the european union has dropped a long- standing anti-trust case against microsoft.he software giant agreed today to give users in europe a choice among a dozen web browsers and not just microsoft's own "internet explorer." the e.u. dispute with microsoft has dragged on for more than a decade, and the company has already paid more than $2 billion in fines. the u.s. house voted today to let the treasury borrow another $290 billion over six weeks. that way the government will not default when it hits the current debt ceiling of $12 trillion in the coming days. on the house floor, republicans and democrats skirmished over calls to rein in spending. >> when will it stop? when will washington get the message that we can't borrow and spend and bail our way back to a growing america. and then we come here right before the christmas break, on the day we're probably heading out of this building, and we're going to pass a $290 billion increase in the statutory limit on the national debt. the american people don't want more debt for christmas. >> this is not a cheery time for t

microsoft was bill gates and paul ellen's idea. after bill gates that fired from ibm for not being focused on hardware which was their obsession but being focused on software and they said you are crazy and you are fired. get out of here with that crazy idea. now microsoft can buy and sell ibm several times. bill gates is on the second big idea with his wife, the bill and melinda gates foundation which is really making-- remaking philanthropy car this iphone was somebody's idea by the name of steve jobs. you can go on and on, guy that ambassador john no's well, ted turner. cnn was his idea. and when cnn for started i think i can say this respectfully, cnn was pretty ragged, but he had a vision and ultimately the vision and the reality caught up with each other. medtronic was in many ways bill george's idea of the way in which he ran that company, some would argue being run different today but his leadership and his ideas may difference. the guy named sam walton woke up one morning and decided he wanted to provide a quality product

you don't have jobs when you get out of college and thus one of the chosen few that it could go, microsoft, general electric, they will increasingly control more of the economy but that has a nazi fact of being bad on the whole economy. >> i don't know if the microphone can reach that far. [laughter] >> you mentioned earlier you felt the american people a being left out in favor of big government and big business. however believe specifically in terms of the ballet and the stimulus package of fire remember correctly were policies that the times of 40 of the majority of the american public. had the feel the government should address those issues when the majority of the people are supporting an initiative that you feel it in the end will damage them and give them the short end of the sec? >> i do know the stimulus had majority support but the bailout, i know they have 19 -- 900 bail-out phone calls i do not answer that well but most people oppose the bill of every four honorable member voted against the wall street bailout. maybe they supported it in detroit but also polls should not drive

i often get asked why we are not teaching kids to use microsoft office. the thing that i have to help our parents understand is that you do not succeed in this economy might knowing a certain piece of software. it you can succeed by constantly learning. if i went to a museum with my mother, she would ask how you would do this museum differently. even as a 6-year-old, i was thinking about how i might create -- of the role i would play in redoing an exhibit. my grandparents -- my grandfather was not a greek himself, but he was always giving me educational components. at the heart of it, my parents were always encouraging me to take pleasure in learning. that propelled me to all these experiences. >> which teacher in your life stimulated you the most? >> vet is tough. i have been lucky to have incredible teachers. frank mccord, henry louis gates at harvard, and all of them played a real significant late -- role -- real significant role. i feel an incredible dealt to one teacher that taught me to program. my parents saw that i loved programming and they did n

it's bing, the decision engine from microsoft. >> pelley: now, cnn's anderson cooper on assignment for: for years, educators have tried and failed to get poor kids from the inner city to do just as well in school as kids from america's more affluent suburbs. black kids still routinely score well below white kids on national standardized tests. but a man named geoffrey canada may have figured out a way to close that racial achievement gap. what he's doing has been called one of the most ambitious social experiments to alleviate poverty of our lifetime. his laboratory is a 97-block neighborhood in harlem, which he's flooded with a wide array of social, medical, and educational services, available for free to the 10,000 children who live there. it's called the harlem children's zone. ed bradley first reported on geoffrey canada three and a half years ago, but back then, there was no way to tell if his children's zone was working. today, however, results are in, and they are nothing short of stunning. so much so that the white house is now taking notice. for geoffrey canada, however, it is

microsoft started. you look at some of the most successful companies in the world and started because that's when things are shaken up, where the big players don't have the control anymore. you can compete as a small business and can create a place where you are in control of our own life and adding value. >> also get started now because people have so little money, they are very, very tough business people. and as the economy recovers, they end up being very, very smart with how they use their resources. lot of the greatest successes have come out of the toughest business situations. >> now have you low overhead because you are only talking about yourself, working in the business. so that's -- that's right. so that's really the key to starting now. also, too, there's opportunity when there are tough times. >> larry: laurel, maryland, hello. >> caller: good evening, larry, magic and tony. i have a small business in laurel, maryland. it is a very management company. and i have been trying to get funding
