taylor: alistair barr, thanks for joining us.g with google, the company has finally launched its long-awaited cloud gaming service. it allows users to stream and play games via smartphone and web browser, ditching the old clunky console. some are calling at the netflix of gaming. others are not totally sold yet. i want to bring in arcadia president kenny rosenblatt. the company has developed over 100 titles across pcs and browsers and mobile devices. was it successful? kenny: stadia is a long-term play for google. coming right out of the gate, there are a lot of naysayers out there, but on the positive side, it is a very advanced technical solution. but technical solutions don't sell game consoles. what sells game consoles or games. the lineup that stadia came out with leaves a lot to be desired. taylor: so what do you want to see from the game lineup, given your history in that space, to help boost the appeal? kenny: you need exclusivity. you need games that are exclusive to the platform. if you think nintendo coming think about

taylor: bloomberg's alistair barr, thank you for joining us. will be sticking around.oming up, his top tech picks for 2020. that is next. this is bloomberg. ♪ uplor: we are wrapping third-quarter earnings and the communication services sector posted some strong topline revenue growth year-over-year. the bottom line is telling is a different story. take at earnings-per-share growth year-over-year, relatively muted. now, rbc analyst mark mahaney. what happened third-quarter in the middle of that income --tement where mark: i think at the top of that list would be amazon. they are doubling down on this one day investment. that is an expensive investment. i think there is a more interesting story at the other side of the curve. companies brought forward their profitability timelines. about print its first positive ebitda quarter. pinterest, too. i was struck by the positive inflection points rather than the negative ones. taylor: you brought up lyft and uber. are you confident that 2020 targets are intact? mark: no. i think they have a high probability of getting by insura

alistair: i think it is partly ambient computing.had pcs, then laptops, then phones, then something that is wearable is even more connected with you, goes with you. maybe in the future, things like speaker technology they have, you would be able to just be able to say things and get information that way. i think that's one part. the other part is the data, that google is very interested in how -- in health technology. if they have that data, it can inform some of the work they are doing in that area. taylor: we have been talking about google, facebook, twitter a little bit. to the campaign ad policies of these companies. google seems to have been coming in the middle with facebook on one side, twitter on the other. how do you view google's political ad policy? mark: i think it is still a work in progress at all three of these companies. twitter made a statement about not allowing political advertising. i know we talked about that before. that struck me as sort of an extreme position. there seems to be increasing pressure on these com
