gerrit: the pitch from google has always been that if you are a major google calendar user, google docsgle drive, using their phone will be more seamless, if you're interacting with a lot of other people who are also using google products. but it seems a lot of consumers still want that iphone. they're still that cool factor is still that cool factor and attraction to the premium iphone model. for the portion that was focused on the phone, i would say it about 80% of that portion of focused on the camera. they even had pictures taken with the new iphone lined up next to pictures from this phone to sort of show why their camera with so much better. maybe for those people who want to have that experience, it will just be another reason to pick up the new phone. emily: thanks so much for your reporting. tesla shares soared tuesday after macquarie said the company is on track to reach profitability. is it time to talk about a tesla turnaround? macquarie is initiating coverage here at a buy. what is their argument that tesla can hit profitability and that this is indeed a good buy right now?

chairman at google, was my assessment of google fairly accurate? it is a rambunctious group, isn't it? >> it's a very open culture. employees really participate. where friday afternoon all hands meetings were common. and the leadership shared a lot with the employees. >> now, there is this idea of bringing your whole self to work. it's a very silicon valley -- i think it's a very silicon valley idea. but it can cause a lot of issues. i mean, there are some fairly famous issues at google in which employees caused as, you know, debating back and forth the issues as opposed to engineering. >> yeah. i mean, the thing to understand s ahe if unhappy about something, that's 9,000 employees. 900 employees. that's a fairly large small minority. you get a different dynamic as the culture has grown, the dynamic has shifted. >> i am not saying it's a wrong thing. i don't imagine the assemblyman on the ford assembly line is out there blogging about stuff the way that a google employee does. i'm not saying it's a negative thing. it's fascinating to me that you h

is there still room for google in that market?ell, particularly chinese competitors did it in a domestic market we have a search engine like baidu who has 70 2% of market share. companies in china have two follow regulations that involve sensor ring the information of users. i think what a chinese user wants to see is the company at the level of google, protecting their privacy and if google is able to deliver a better search result and build trust with chinese consumers i believe there is still room for them to grow when china. do you think, however, that chinese consumers will make the switch if they feel they are getting a censored version of google, a watered down version? how will google distinguish itself or the other chinese firms? they provide a better user experience. that is one of the key things that will differentiate themselves from other search engines. i also believe that if you look at the market outside of china, the power of the google product is they build a seamless ecosystem including search, advertising and,

is the goal to take share from amazon or google? somehow tie us in even more to the facebook ecosystem? rafa: the ultimate goal for the users is to help you not just connect, but to make you feel connected to the people you care about. in that sense, iit is adding depth to the services we provide. emily: we talked about what facebook is doing to make sure the data is encrypted, but what about safeguarding it from hack attacks? something you may not intend to happen. how do you prevent that from happening? only byplications are invitation with early partners we work with and obviously, we are doing all the tasks possible with security on the device. emily: what is next? where do you hope this goes? rafa: we hope this changes the way people connect to their loved ones by making distance disappear and helping you maintain those relationships with the day-to-day feeling together, seeing each other face-to-face and getting connected. do you see -- emily: the you see him oculus -- an oculus tie-in? rafa: sure, we are looking at social pre

she told me, we continue to help and support chinese users from google apps and google translate.are not close to launching a search product in china. given the scale of the market, we are making sure we are doing the right things for the long-term. what you make of that? wouldn'tught of this, it be great in the number of respect from an operational and financial perspective for google to reenter china? the reality is, especially given the growing tensions between the two countries and their governments, we see that as a long shot. particularly over the near to intermediate term. it is one of the reasons why we upgraded shares of buying new. for thaten an overhang company and its stock. we don't think that is viable at this point for google to reenter china. i think they have far more priorities elsewhere. i think just the political pressure and complexity, cost, and risk of failure are so substantial i think continuing to invest in things that are working are the way that google and off of that should be investing now. emily: do you think that google should have not dropped proje

vice president mike pence has urged google to immediately and development of its dragon fly app google is reportedly building the app especially to comply with censorship requirements in china pen said that dragon fly would strengthen china censorship regime and compromised the privacy of customers would make it easier to track private internet searches he said business leaders should think twice before entering the chinese market if it means turning over their intellectual property or contributing to beijing's oppression he also criticized what he says was china's theft of u.s. technology. for more let's bring in our financial correspondent on wall street. and even to you well looking at this story you do have to wonder if it's worth to get in trouble with the white house how relevant is the chinese market for google. well i mean it's not the first time that google tried to enter the chinese market was their church their search engine. the last effort eight years to go after that has been some issues well i mean china is the second biggest economy on the planet and they have the bigge

route in trading and they have shut down google plus that major bug that you know they concealed google concealed from regulators that exposed google plus users to to compromise i mean what do you make of google i guess what do you make of alphabets the parent company of that stock going forward. well i feel bad for the five to ten people that will no longer be on google plus it was a couple hundred thousand but that shocked me. yeah. the fines for google i remember when j.p. morgan the london whale had a bad trade and they lost billions of dollars and the stock was under pressure for a couple days but i knew that it would go much higher that a couple billion for a company that is nothing so when you think of google they don't control market share they are the market so the five is the find i think it's a one time cost they might have a little bit of a dark cloud by facebook as have but google as a company is going to be just fine the what i worry more about is the snap chat that someone that's looking to now reinvent their business model and when you see companies doing that that's a l

google goes in the opposite direction. google should be more aggressive in e-commerce and take the cloud stands more aggressively than amazon is crouching upon them from an advertising standpoint. they will be creating 50,000 new jobs. how will those costs impact in coming quarters? >> they have a ton of room to grow and offset those costs. 50% of the product searches online now occur on amazon rather than on google. the things that people want to pay for. to invest in those kinds of tools and the cost goes up, they will see a spike in returns. huge: we know there is a turf war going on in india and other parts of the world. >> that is one uncertainty we have yet to figure out. hopefully we get some guidance on that. there is a direct impact from across border segment. but there is an indirect impact and what it means for third-party sales growth. more details, but that is a concern. emily: the call is expected to start 25 minutes from now. >> i want to hear the investments they are making, how they are paying off. there i
