well we didn't take too much for cautions ourselves other than we did take laptops with us but that was mostly because we were afraid our laptops and cell phones might be confiscated when we when we returned. we didn't know where we were in moscow because none of us are really familiar with moscow so there was nothing real special about our arriving at the sign disclosed location and we were just really fortunate to have several hours actually alone with edward snowden we also had a human rights attorney there and and translator for a while but we were eight able to have a long in-depth chat about the n.s.a. and the surveillance and the possible reforms incredible i mean what was that like just want to sit down with him he's been out of the media spotlight how was he in person he was fine he seemed happy and healthy and which is hard to envision after being under such enormous pressure but he also seemed very thoughtful and brilliant and has a way could sense of humor so he was very ball grounded i thought he was a great person to spend time with and it was really i think wonderful for

liz: we'll get mark's thoughts on the laptop part of the business. he is with "laptop" magazine.ou have more. >> couple points why isn't the stock going up on what seems to be a nice little beat. in the current quarter apple giving revenue outlook of 55 to 58 billion. it might not be aggressive enough because wall street was looking for 55.7. might want to see a bigger upgrade. on gross margins, understand the gross margins this quarter just reported came in at 3%. apple said they could go down to 36.5 next quarter. year ago quarter, right now the margins were 40%. year before that, margins were 40.3. the so the profit margins are going down as their growth also goes down. because the growth even with surprise to the upside on 33.8 million iphones, okay tax is roughly 25% growth versus year ago. the year ago quarter the growth was almost 60% in those iphones. look to the current quarter. for the first time in a while, apple has two big engines for christmas sales. has the new iphone 5s and c. maybe the c will be more of a consumer product for christmas gifts. has the new ipad goi

. >>> google introduces a new laptop today and while it may be sleek and inexpensive it has one veryuishing feature. the new chrome book has a charger that uses the same connection as most smartphones. it has a battery life of six hours which is enough for a cross-country flight. the screen is 11" but they are not the most powerful computers. so high-end users may be turned off by this one but experts say they are perfect in a pinch. >> they make great secondary home computers if want a second laptop laying around, an emergency laptop something to take while you travel that if it gets wrecked or something you're okay with that. these are excellent for that. >> and the price tag is perhaps the biggest draw for the new chrome book. they go for just $279. >>> getting tough with trash thieves. >> ist putting something in my garbage -- i was putting something in my garbage and hit it by accident. >> plans in one bay area neighborhood to crackdown on people who clean out recycle bins. >> we are getting a first look at the new $100 bill hot off the press. ,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, usually it's the
