universal code or language that many musical instruments operate on, midi, musical instrument digital interfaced-i. by having a universal code like midi, i have the ability of playing this keyboard and controlling sounds from maybe other sound sources or even other keyboards. many of the different sounds that i played on this instrument really come from what's called a sampling technology. at one point, there was a microphone stuck inside a real piano, and a recording of that instrument was made, converted into a digital code, and through the midi language, is played back on this instrument. at the risk of sounding greedy, i'd actually like to layer another part on top of that. of course, sampling technology does open up somewhat of a pandora's box for musicians. now if i can play the sound of violins, maybe i don't need to have a string section anymore. so to some degree, it has changed. it's the cotton gin so to speak. it's changed the nature of the way music is being made. i liken the whole studio experience to playing an instrument itself. look, every musical instrument is just some kind of

shapiro and the engagement, was libya different in state department interface, and if so, how?>> either -- the answer is, yes, it was different, and it was different because our other engagements, where we were engaged military, where we were supporting the policy of the united states, we worked with a c.t. type focus, counterterrorism type focus. this was the first activity that did not start out as a counterterrorism effort that employed the combat power for africa command. >> thank you. mr. lynch, are you next? the gentlelady is recognized. >> thank you, chairman. even the atrocities that gaddafi committed, it is no question that libya is much better off without him. after 42 years of rule, we have a delicate transition to a democracy. dr. wehrey, you testified recently that overwhelmingly the country's political leaders are rejecting violence for political means and that they are committed to some sort of a democratic path forward and that they will have greater cooperation with the u.s. can you explain in more detail what their willingness is or how that willingness to coo

defense department interface and announced in february they were giving up because they just couldn't figure it out. now, it takes 183 days to transfer from the defense department to the v.a. it takes 11 seconds to get money out of your atm. this is why -- i can't tell you if we have enough people or not enough people because the system is so totally screwed up right now. i have no idea. >> it may not be just about money. i'll be willing to say that i'll tell you, i have a bill that would require any doctor that when a person comes in and they ask this one question, have you ever served in our nation's military. because some vets don't want to go to v.a. for whatever reason. that one question in and of itself can direct the doctor towards diagnosing what the problem may be and really saving us all money and having a better system. one little simple bill. so i think there are things we can do to help make it a better system. but i think getting bogged down in the politics and the blame game isn't going to help anyone. >> i don't think we are bogged down in the politics. >> i don't know

another professor at villanova said the most important outcome is that small interface component patentsetting big rewards. forhere do we go from here investors and companies? >> expect both of these companies to go back to court. to order them both banning of u.s. sales of some of the competitors. that is interesting. samsung devices apple is questioning are no longer sold in the u.s. we are talking about the galaxy s3. that is no longer being sold. galaxy products, those were not covered in this trial. you asked a question about investors. you are looking at a five-year chart. you are doing pretty well if you are holding both of these names. -- is upclose up to close to 350%. very going to become a challenging, saturated market, something we talk about often. samsung is the world's number one smartphone maker. apple is number 2, 17% of the market share. it is going to be a rough ride on the leader side, wraps not as much of a rough side -- on the legal side, perhaps not as much of a rough side for investors. forung supplies chips or some of the iphone and ipad devices that apple produc

and i think we really need to think about how that interface works. we need to make sure the back room, if you will of it, is stable, sound and responsible. but ultimately, it needs to serve the can customers on the street. >> and with that utility or, i guess, the kind of co-op model, would you envision there being just one? would you have multiple, you know, secondary market guarantors, or do you need, do you really only need just one? >> there'd be various options there. there are different functions of the90oug+uz aggregating of the , bringing them together for the pulling and then theç guarante. i think there is a consensus on a lot of things about gse reform, that we want more private capital. so i think any system will have more private capital in front of it. there'll be deeper insurance, more capital required by the garon guarantor -- guarantors. people differ about exactly where to set that, but at far, far higher levels. people are talking about near multiples of ten times as much capital as what was there before. and you could do that var

our team is building out the interface and passing the information to watson to get the results back.e feeding content to make it intelligent and smarter. how the information is presented. what the shopping trend is like. that sort of thing. >> how much do i need to tell the app? >> it is totally dependent on the individual shopping. it may be one or two westerns. it may be more involved. if you are looking for a jacket for a ski trip, that is relatively short. if you are a family of four that is looking for a great., that may be a more involved experience. >> right now, it is only the north face? >> we have other customers that we are looking to announce in q2 this year. >> i feel like retail has taken so long to be truly personalized. example of thehe place that i have been shopping at since high school. there is nothing tailored to me. i have purchased many things there. purchase things online is fairly static. there is a degree of personalization. isthink that what is missing the ability to have a dialogue with somebody and engage in conversation to learn about their needs. it is

the interface is really good as well there they spent a lot of time getting feedback from customers.mething companies like samsung do not really emphasized as much. overall user experience is very positive and does not feel like a cheap product. >> what are the challenges for -- what are the chances for breaking into the market? >> they have to grow global. growthll not get the they want to get just out of china. the logical next step is the one they are taking. they will do quite well. they have a clever business model where they know what the young tech savvy consumer wants. the u.s. market is a long-term goal and it will not be easy. the reality is they will have to establish other markets first and develop the cash they need to develop the cash for a market like that. class i am dubious of the fan boy experience. does it transfer when it gets out of -- outside the chinese borders? >> there is a huge amount of buzz around the. when you talk to consumers, you ask who the heroes are. they're not interested's fourth celebrity's or actors. they are interested in entrepreneurs. they ar
