meanwhile, amazon's poor earnings report sent shares tumbling and cost ceo jeff bezos about $3.5 billion, but he's still worth about $33 billion or so. it looks like people are getting the message about needing to save more for retirement. the average 401k balance ended at an average of $89,300. >>> andre drummond given the mvp award after the challenge game. this happened. >> oh, no! oh! >> the trophy broke in two. but no worries. drummond just took it all in stride. and those are your ups and downs here on "weekends with alex witt."

biological son was jeff bezos?

john fort, why does jeff bezos get it?re than turn the book business upside down when he founded amazon.com. he began reshaping the way the world shops for just about everything. yes, amazon posted $74.5 billion in sales in 2013. the reason bezos' towering ambition. it seemed like ebay was the better play. it offered a wider selection and didn't have to deal with the pesky problem of actually delivering physical goods. but bezos turned that minus into a plus by building out a warehouse and logistics operation that makes shopping on amazon nearly as reliable as going to the store yourself. of course, that's not all. bezos was a pioneer in data and in the cloud. now he's going retro, buying "the washington post" last year for a quarter billion dollars. he'll be a shoo-in 25 years from now for the cnbc 50. >> good point. >> in reality, obviously both of these guys in their own special way have been extremely important to their sectors. but i like what phil is saying. we've totally transformed in technology and auto space. can

they essentially founded their company and no one tells jeff bezos what to do and nobody tells buffettno one tells either one of those what to do and most are run by journeymen who are tired by a board of directors. >> from a managerial class. >> from a managerial class and they don't have, they don't feel they have the power and they may not have the power to sort of disregard that. >> okay. do you feel this is changing at all the point that we are making here that the primacy of quarterly earnings should not be and ought, what ought to be done is looking at other, other like research and development, like new markets like -- >> look, it is not a question of the shareholders should be ignored. the problem is the word maximizing because look, any good ceo will tell you, look there is no problem with shareholder, maximizing shareholder value because i know what it means as long-term not short-term, they say it but don't necessarily behave that way and i also know i can't run a good corporation long-term unless i take care of my customers and unless i make sure that my community is a sou

think of what steve jobs had an apple or jeff bezos is doing at amazon.nd of the day, every both historically and going forward, they just have to work hard. 100 hour work weeks are probably the most famous. most different about the ceo of the next generation? think the world is going social. the consumer experience has changed so much, you have to be much more visionary about where things are going. you have to be more in tune with how fast everything is moving and growing and evolving. and the way he runs his enterprises in a social way, mark many off with the s of people whole get it. balance that with having a great business? --having a great business vision without great numbers is not that's gullible. if you don't make money, you have to grow share and revenue. you have a great vision and no execution and that is not appealing. >> we talked about how easy it is to start your own business. it is easier than ever to be your own ceo. some people might be worried the next generation ceo looks like snap chat. he has made some mistakes along the way. >> i

. >> it is very much in the vein of a steve jobs or jeff bezos.want to push the boundaries and get better. they are relentless at pushing their own crews. it is one of the reasons why facebook just announced great earnings. mark drove the company. if you walked into the demo room, he ended the meeting if you did not show mobile first. he is a tough boss. >> the stock is going crazy today. you cover facebook. they said that mobile ad revenue has surpassed desktop, 53% of ad revenue. for the first time it is the majority. do you feel like they have figured mobile out? >> they distant early on and they were missing, but they have figured out. they pivoted. it is of the most interesting pivots we've seen in the internet space in the last five years. that took five or six quarters and made this their primary product entry point and it is the majority of their revenue and will get bigger. they needed to do this because the biggest trend is mobile adaption. if you were not there up front like twitter was, facebook has caught up and now they are ahead. >>

and the value of them, whether they are being successful, and i am not going to say that jeff bezos isning an unsuccessful company because he doesn't have a lot of profits, would milton friedman a say that is a socialistic enterprise. i don't think he, bezos would say that, but first of all milton friedman made that comment at a time when socialism had, you know, this sort of meaning that maybe we don't understand, you know, i don't even know what he means by that. quite frankly. if a corporation is delighting its customers, if a corporation is energizing its employees and creating a good return to its shareholders not maximum but a good one i would say that is a pretty good enterprise and i would say that is a successful one and i wouldn't want to have that chief executive being thrown out become some activist investor says i can bring someone who can really push this to the wall and double their earnings per share next quarter. i don't think that is a good way to run an economy. >> thank you for coming. >> thank you. >> it is great to see you. >> thank you for joining us. see you nex

it's very much in the vain of a jeff bezos or steve job. always pushing the boundaries and wanting to get better and being pretty relentless at pushing his own crew. and i think we -- it's one of the reasons why facebook just announced great earnings because in this mobile shift that the company is faced over the last few years mark really drove his company. and if you walked into the demo room and you didn't show mobile first, he ended the meeting. so he is sort is the sort of owning up there in the interview to being a tough boss. >> let's talk about earnings. facebook stock is going crazy after the numbers yesterday. i want to bring you in. you of course cover facebook and they just announced yesterday that mobile add revenue has surpassed desk top add revenue. 53%. for the very first time it's the majority. do you feel like facebook has figured mobile out or there's still some work to do? >> i think they figured it out. they missed it early on so the company was missing around the time of the ipo. but they pivoted. and one of the most i

it won't happen hopefully soon according to jeff bezos, the suggestion that has perhaps already happened what do you think? >> well, see our office is about five miles from the campus in cupertino and i have spent a good part of my career in san jose and silicon valley and the buzz in silicon valley is at a high level i've seen it in years past and what we're seeing in the shareholder meetings, so we have a billion dollar business with our apple i.t., itv, and that is a $99 item. this is way discount from what ipads and iphones were selling at premium dollars. so, you know back it your question, the innovation is going to be a key. changing behavior. changing society. products that are brand new, never seen before. that to me is questionable. but as far as solid company, yes, but as far as innovation, i'm looking somewhere else for that. david: okay. well, kent, certainly was right as far as shareholders were concerned with the stock buyback situation. they feel very comfortable with management decisions right now. kent hughes, anton bare, thanks very much. good to see you both. >> thank

it's backed by jeff bezos, nasa and the c.i.a., each one cost $10 million and operates at 459 degrees fahrenheit below zero and nobody knows how it actually works. and then you call it the infinity machine. what are we talking about? >> well, this is a new kind of computer. we are talking about something that works on tpraepbt paradigm from everything that's been built since the 1950s or so up. >> rose: the whole digital revolution. >> the whole digital revolution. we're tapping into a new kind of force in computing. >> rose: a new kind of force? >> that's right. >> rose: and it comes from quantum physics in part? >> that's right. computers as we have now as complex as they are, they operate under what t laws of what we call classical physics which is new tonian things we see in daily life but things apply differently when you get to the subatomic level. >> rose: and that is? >> subatomic particles, photons, electrons, that sort of thing. they play by different rules and under those rules you have a lot of exotic phenomena which seem very counterintuitive to us. things like superposit

desperate for any kind of work that they can just be treated like crap and it's incredible and you know jeff bezos he's always talking about how amazing his company is because of the fact that they have the because it just shows up on your door that you had a lot of your own things like that a little harder you know and i remember moving on to draw. on for us that these are the most amazing technology the world has ever seen and we're using it to deliver slab jobs to agoraphobia i don't know if that's really the greatest thing in this is great as some claim here now why are our stocks generally higher than we've seen basically since two thousand and six i know it varies day to day but generally they've been so high particularly for these large corporations what do you think that's all about these things correspond stocks really high because workers can be treated like crap like that that is why that's one of the reasons is because you know it's a buyer's market for corporations they can say we're not going to pay you much we're not going to give you any benefits and you can take the job anyway. yo
