benioff. i had a raspy voice that day. mark did not answer it. i had to answer it again after the tea.he first answer was ambiguous. i couldn't talk. i shouldn't have been at work. i should have been at home and i should have been having chicken soup and my wife should have -- because of that they said it was a sell. everyone else made tens of thousands and i got a hack. you think i'm a good businessman? i'm an idiot. >> you were an idiot on that one. >> you didn't have to verify that. >> you could still be getting residual checks. i get them on wall street, too. >> if they had made it with louis c.k., i would have gone into it. >> take a look on futures. looks like they we are at least going to start off with another positive session. more "squawk on the street" right after this. everybody knows that business today is built on data. the thing is, most businesses aren't getting the most out of it. the ibm cloud is uniquely designed for all kinds of data. like data from the weather company for 2.2 billion locations. or billions of health-related data points. even social sentiment in rea
