certainly when you get onto gmail ssl is far more common now and ellen as they mentioned the funds or the new android operating system where you used a pin code or swiped code it will be default encrypted so if you turned off and you lose it or get stolen whoever has it is going to have a heck of a time trying to figure out what data is on there because it's going to be encrypted. that is a good security measure for all of us. i think it's probably common experience when you go through that moment of panic of where's your phone and he do a self pat-down trying to find it and that is to help reduce the act and you aren't looking realize you have it on you your data is going to be safer if you have lost the device. companies like google are always looking at their products and how to make them more secure. is this a product that makes sense for encryption and will it defeat some feature if you do it or is there some other technological problem with it? there is definitely a trend and you have heard about it from the government towards more encrypted secure communications. >> absent acti

china is escalating its ban on google, blocking access to gmail through third-party applications.he internet regulator is not saying why. china has already blocked google's search and map functions. the last of the " hobbit" trilogy was a big winner at the box office over the weekend. it took in $45 million and killed a lot of orcs. >> did you have to go and see it with your kids? >> ido go to movies! -- i don't go to movies! that's why "interview" was amazing, because it came to me. i liked it. i think my expectations were too high, but i really like the way -- i will hit myself saying this -- that seth rogen is reinventing the buddy comedy. don't think of it as a free-speech exercise could think of it as a movie you enjoy on a plane. >> i think if you see it as a free-speech exercise you ruin the whole thing. equity futures, as we mentioned turning a little bit lower on the back of european stocks being taken down after what happened in greece and the snap elections that are being called for in the early part of next year. we have been closing at record highs. the s&p closed at

gmail, for example, is all encrypted. but what happens when the e-mail goes from server a to server b? turns out there's a protocol which the industry has now agreed to which will maintain the encryption. the try as a unit, right, acted to protect its users' interests and the data is all legal. i'd say that the government's response has been fairly clear, and i'll tell a story. in 1995 louie freeh was the fbi director, i believe. and we had the first of one of these. and it was a meeting in dianne feinstein's office which were the ceos of the time. i was at novell, and the people who were there were steve case, bill gates, myself, a few others. and we had the public safety people, right? serious people trying to do the right thing including louie freeh and the director of the nsa, and she asked them to report on the dangers of all of this. and what they wanted was they wanted the trap door. they wanted the trap door, the -- this was simulated after the v-chip, the idea that the government could, you know with a warrant or

there was some a sort of test phase of trying to make that, do encryption as a feature compatible with gmail. i wonder how you balance those things. >> the people making these claims don't understand how google works. google's job is to build stuff that delights customers. when governments illegally invade their privacy that's like a negative. right? so it is easy to understand why we would try to make these systems stronger. we don't make decisions based on revenue but on really delightful products. security and privacy are a key part of them. that's literally how the decisions are made. >> can we get the mike up here again? do you already have one? >> just wanted to check, in europe i understand the united states requests to have features like the right to be forgotten on the internet. i'd like to know what google has done and also in conjunction with the industry to be able to effectively enforce that right. >> thank you for asking. in may we lost a court judgment at the european central court of justice and what they found, which in the european system is like the supreme court, forces t

google's gmail has been blocked for some in china and censorship groups saying the government is tryingnce in china. google would only say there's nothing technically wrong on its end. so we will try to find out more about what's happening on the other end. if that's the case. joe? >> very sad. not that. you go to build-a-bear and your kid buys a -- builds a dog. he wants a dog andrew. he wants a dog. you go to build-a-bear -- let me talk about this. when we go to break -- >> he had a fire coat. we got a whole costume. >> when we go to break, we'll talk. he's crying out for a pet, andrew. you know? zillow just out with its -- >> he's scared of real dogs. >> is he really? then you got to get one. ranking of celebrity neighbors. zillow has a ranking of celebrity neighbors. i didn't know they had one. for the second year in a row, americans would most like to live next to nbc's own jimmy fallon. that's cute. he was the most popular among people with kids. the least desirable neighbor justin bieber. he tps his neighbors houses. did he throw tomatoes or something? >> eggs. he eggs the house.

lot of studies tend to show that people are very concerned about privacy if you want them to pay for gmail, they'll give up the privacy. good aggregate. >> guest: no, it's fascinating. so the pew research on internet and life just came out with a study not too long ago precisely about this, what are people willing to give up in terms of information online. most people's sense of what it is they're protecting when they go online very much works from that privacy framework. we all tend to think about what do i worry about sharing as an individual. what we haven't thought that much about is what am i uncomfortable sharing about our exchange as two people or three people. so when i'm going online and i'm having a text exchange with, say, three other people, i'm not necessarily thinking about privacy in that moment. i'm with a group of people. in my mind, you know, i don't know if this is your experience, when i go online and i'm talking with a group of people, i'm not thinking about my individual privacy. i'm really thinking about our shared relationship in relation to the privacy or confident

is gmail any more secure? is google any more secure than yahoo!r? >> the reality is if there's an attacker out there that wants to do damage whether it's to reputation or others being able to attack these companies and take their e-mails or steal information from them digitally, it's possible regardless of where the data is. >> it's possible. and so is there anything you can do to avoid this though? >> i think this is where investment and security technologies, i think understanding where your information is being able to protect your sensitive information more specifically through encryption we did some research and published some research. there's three specific things you can do as a company to lower he cost of risk. the first one is invest in security intelligence systems. about 21% higher. it's not just the technology, it's also the people in processes. the second one is encrypting your data. that adds about 17% to 18% on investments that you make. doing that in combination with training your people and making sure that they know how to use t
