the appeal was uphead, but now it's easy for some to use it as a new willie horton, politically toxicme near him, just as easy as those who are tone deaf to many americans. he should never been been nominated, the problem is that it bolsters the idea that attacking lawyers because of their clients is okay. the situation should never have entered into the nomination conversation, because it's a bedrock principal of our democracy, everyone is entitled to zealous defense no matter how repub nant they may be. we don't hold lawyers accountable for who they represent. defending the constitutional rights is not an attack on the police, it's a defense of the constitution. if it becomes a career albatross to represent people who did terrible things, make sure the constitution works for them our promise of justice for all cannot survive. if we punish lawyers for clients, that could lead to few good lawyers defending the indigent and more defending corporations. my classmates think seriously what doors their choices will open and close. it's hard to sell my friends on spending career knowing tha

they compete with horton works, compete with emc's pivotal division.understand what it does. the scale of this though it's similar to the wind river systems acquisition that intel did five years ago. that was close to $900 million. but this is a lot of money for them to put into something. it's important for them because their server business is increasingly important as the pete sea flattens out and declines. big data gives people reason to use the line. but this shift toward enterprise we started to talk about a bit continues to happen. we have s-1 looking to raise a couple hundred million dollars. so lots of interesting activity. >> i hope their commitment is stronger than it was to television which lasted about five minutes, right? >> well, they've got real money on the line in this now. they talked a lot about television, but i don't recall them plunking down $740 million. >> yeah. that's good. we'll watch it. i know you like the space, jon. you keep talking about it more and more. jon fortt on intel and big data. >>> if you watched "60 minutes" l
