>> there are a lot of people inspired by steve jobs.aid that steve jobs pushed for the last 10%. he landed on that 10%. he said that they thought they were done, but steve jobs would go for insanely great. a push for that last bit. you look around, and you can see people like tony fidel and others who are channeling his example daily. >> obviously you have spent a lot of your time over the last few years helping to build the business of zynga. you have shared this tidbit about the knowledge learned from mark pincus. can you elaborate on that? >> more broadly speaking, we all look for mentors. sometimes you are lucky enough to have a mentor who will let you sit on his or her knee and tell stories and talking detail. i think that was like me and david ogilvy. it is a remote mentor relationship. mark pincus, when he worked in malone's organization, he could see from a distance the information the way malone would use math to get right to the heart of value creation and the media business. pincus has the extraordinary ability to use math to

jack dorsey is no steve jobs and sheryl sandberg is no steve jobs.t do you think eiger thinks he needs? >> he would like to clone steve jobs and have a new one. if anyone could play a role like steve jobs, i think jack can do it. he's going to have an amazing resource to have them both on his board. i wouldn't be surprised if cheryl had mixed feelings about jack joining the board because facebook wants to have the insights that might be available when they hear the discussions and now there is the nemesis and i think jack brings a unique set of capabilities and taste. this is one thing he shares with steve jobs is taste, which is in relatively short supply in silicon valley, sorry to say to a san francisco denizen like you. we new yorkers are very aware of that. >> how does jack dorsey manage his time? >> at one point, he claims he was working at both square and twitter. >> it's not someone who manages his time very well. >> it's not an executive full- time position at twitter anymore. if i were an investor in either company, i might have some reserv

. >> i have to wonder if this is some sort of steve jobs connection. jack dorsey no steve jobs.nksyou think iger that he needs? >> obviously you would love to clone steve jobs and have a new one. if anyone could play a role like steve jobs, i think jack can do it. is going to have an amazing role. facebook wants to have all the insights that might the available when they hear the discussion at disney's board meetings. twitter their nemesis is going to be hearing all those insights as well. i think jack brings a unique set of capabilities and taste. this is one thing he shares with steve jobs. it is relatively in short supply in silicon valley, sorry to say to severance is good denizen like you. we new yorkers are very aware of that. >> i thought you going to say we new yorkers are very tasteful. >> we are, that is what i mean. >> sure you are. how does he manage his time? claimed heoint he was working full-time at both square and twitter. >> that does not sound like someone who manages his time very well. >> he -- it is not an executive full time position at twitter if i were an

we saw april well steve jobs. we saw apple without steve jobs.hink there are a lot of -- steve is irreplaceable. >> but this is going down without steve jobs. that's exactly what you said. apple is going down without steve jobs. >> okay, i'll say it publicly. he's irreplaceable. i don't see how they can -- they will not be nearly as successful because he's gone. >> did you watch him die? >> close. close. was i there -- no. >> did you watch him go through this? >> i saw -- i would go over there all the time. and we would always go for walks. we always go for walks. and the walks just kept getting shorter. until near the end we would walk around the block or maybe four blocks. something like that. and we just watched him getting weaker. this is the strongest guy i knew. this is absolutely the most strongest, most willful person i ever met. and after seven years of cancer, it even wore him out. that's what it was. he was just tired of fighting. tired of the pain. and he decided, shocked everybody, the medication was going to stop him. he just pulled

other not enough people following in the footsteps of steve jobs?> there are a lot of people inspired by steve jobs. dave said jobs push for the last 10%. he said we thought we were done and he would go for insanely great. he would push for that last bit. you look around and you can see peopleike to fidel and more in an hossain rahman who channel steve daley. >> you spent a lot of years on helping people build the business. you share this tidbit by founder mark pincus from a media mogul john malone. can you elaborate? >> more broadly speaking, we all look for mentors and sometimes you're lucky enough to have a mentor who will let you sit on his or her knee and tell stories and talk in detail. i think mark with malone and maybe me with david ogilvy as more of a remote mentor, more a relationship we have with books, so pincus when he worked in malone's organization could see from a distance of inside information the way malone would use math to get right to the heart of value creation in the media business. pincus has extraordinary ability to use math

is jeff bezos the next steve jobs?nning, i think between he and elon musk, they're the visionaries used to be called robber barons, but changed people's lives for the better. i love the idea where they're going and trying to be creative. it's a natural path where we are, we have the drones and we have the technology and it's hard to imagine one day we won't have it that way. samantha worthy is with us. correct? you're young and along comes jeff bezos and talks about drone delivery. it seems to me that this very much fits the pattern of today, i want it, i want it now, i want it personalized and i want it delivered to me personally and i want technology to do it for me? >> right, and steve jobs famously said that sometimes consumers don't eastbound know what they want until you show it to them and i think this is kind of a natural progression of that. we have survived thousands of years without drones arriving at our doorstep and here maybe in the next five years or maybe, 10, 15 years that might be normal for us. stuar

certainly, apple has survived without steve jobs, and it will survive without steve jobs. every year and ipads every year. and to boot, has $150 billion in the bank. so it's not going anywhere any time soon. but i think the question that is on a lot of people's minds is whether or not apple can be the kind of innovation giant it has been for the past 10 or 15 years. and that's still -- that's still up for question. because one of the things that i noticed in doing work for the book is that really, in order to kind of come up with world-changing products like the iphone and the ipad, you really have to have the ability to bet the company on what you're doing. i mean, the iphone wouldn't have gotten built had jobs not bet the company. and i don't know whether or not tim cook or anybody who is replacing -- who would replace steve jobs has that kind of flexibility to to take that enormous risk. >> it's an incredibly competitive world. great read. fred vogel stein, thanks so much. >>> still to come, toure weighs in on the real meaning of black friday. no coupons required for th

he has the dna of silicon valley, next generation, as steve jobs. he also buys test of the first commercially available electr car with the stocks climbing. >> break this down to talk about tesla the stock goes up the but yoworked for steve jobs before you call him the news steve jobs against government handouts for a c that costs 60 years $70,000 subsidize by a tax credit from the not so rich people. >> keep in mind he did not need the $1 billion loan from the government he did pay that back also the first innovative breakthrough was the powell he is part of tho that disrupted the banking industry. he did not need that many but he borrowed a and paid back and people we lining up to invest because they sell more tesla and then they can make to keep up th manufacturing. it may be a rich man's toy today i can tell you that they are coming now with the new sub model have the price and a lot of innovation with their computer or robotsor the internet starso be expensive in the massmarket takes over numerous entrepreneurs end up in a fading in the price p

i am really pleased that steve jobs wanted to raise the level of architectural ambition.think he fully understood that a building is not a gargantuan ipod. it is not an object. it is something much more complicated that involves a lot more inconsistency or a certain amount of mess. this building is a perfect shape. it is a huge enormous doughnut, bigger than the pentagon. i do not think it will do so much to encourage interaction which is what both he and the architect norman foster say it is being designed to do. >> we have frank gehry working on an interesting facebook project. we have an amazon project which we are not too fond of. i thought it was also interesting that you really identify twitter as possibly the most interesting and important future of architecture. why? >> what twitter is doing as a work environment is really good but not in itself that different from google and a lot of the other companies there. they are designed loose, lively, pleasant, somewhat unstructured work environments. the real thing that makes twitter significant is that they took over th

apple computers were first built in steve jobs's garage.ot known for the architecture of their office space, here that is about to change. for the first time in history, some of the biggest companies in technology are embracing defining themselves through ambitious new corporate headquarters. amazon, apple, facebook are all planning new projects. what does that say about technology? paul goldberger has written a piece in the january of vanity fair, he speaks with cory johnson. >> the most amazing thing about silicon valley is it looks like any other place. you have stanford andn the mountains are nice. most of it is a buttoned down suburb. you expect magic, but it isn't there. >> it is kind of amazing. i was a money manager for a while. companies would never make headlines. inevitably they were in stripmall's or little places where you could park your car and there would be 30 people inside. >> these are ordinary office parks and stripmall type places. silicon valley is opportunistic. they started in garages and with a move to the next leve

a place where steve jobs would eat and intel executives would eat. us about the tech toys that people would give you because they knew you were interested in filmmaking. did you get to talk with steve jobs when he came into the restaurant? >> i don't know that i was born at that time, but a lot of the adobe guys in the 80s and 90s, the engineers in the valley literally raised me and gave me the software. i got after effects and photoshop. they gave me their beta computers. by the time i went to usc, i had a had started the digital realm. we had not switched over to digital yet, but i had a head start. now that technology and entertainment are converging, it is the best of all worlds. their parents, they are big shots in silicon valley and we get to talk about how we work together. justin bieber kind of bridges that gap as well because he embraces technology, the way it helps us communicate with each other. it all sort of happened naturally. >> thanks for coming back on the show. >> we will see you there on christmas day? >> cory will be there. >> my

this quote is from steve jobs and it opens his biography. jobs profoundly changes tending starting with the other person communication what the ipad. his flip was in the technology of the humanity. he believed that simplicity and extraordinary customer he experience could go together. apple neat to control the elements of supply chance and as a cult they had to own the experience. when i read this book it resonated with me on so many levels. it's not because i owned one of the making tarnish i swear it's still out there operational. and in standing for the record university he encouraged the audience of graduates to follow their heart. i hit the campaign trail to elect a president that would make energy a national imperative. it touched me because it's the things we do at g s a everyday. just like apple products convey their products this building is no exception it has solar and open rabble windows and it represents the history in this city. we use an integrated design approach in our project and we manage our building holistically. and ind

he compared himself to steve jobs and walt disney. he does this all the time.my son said it was the best concert at that time even he said it is time to go. it is okay to be that delusional he is dising policemen and the military. you draw the line if you think you are as great as steve jobs don't put your self in the same line as the military. >> this guy trying to prank police with iphone cookies. when he was pulled over he took a bite. he started oh man getting pulled over stay tuned. took a bite out of the cookie he's so contfused and then this says i have a warrant for unpaid tickets. but i'm tweeting this. with that tweet picture. pete, you also say you are going to court for a similar incident. >> next week everybody can see me performing in court for being pulled over for a cell phone. i had it in my hand. i wasn't trolling a police officer who needs to be out there looking for god forbid comm someone was driving by texting. lou can't relate to this. but you don't want to be doing that. but you got to wonder what he was eating. >> you do the crime you g

people think that he is not doing nearly as well as steve jobs.y had a pretty good last six months. they did not put out any massively innovative products, but they did iterate pretty well with a very solid market niche, even though they are giving a lot of ground to android at the lower end of the smartphone market, with interesting questions coming up next year, including the cash on new products. thisere is always comparison, right? that tim cook has to face that heers do not, in that followed steve jobs. >> i think it is really important. i was just talking to attack ceo last week, that was the commentary where they used to sit around the boardroom table and asked the question -- what would steve jobs do? theyhe question is -- are asking the question about apple or other companies? they have had a big stock move this year. we talked about amazon drones moving into this area or that area. jeff bezos, what is he thinking right now? a valid broads question to ask, despite the fact that apple continues to put out some very aggressive financial num

that steve jobs just to the left of the president there. the president asked could we bring the iphone manufacturing back to the states and the apple ceo said, mr. president, those jobs are not coming back. this is key to understand, we have the manufacture of things in america, but it's not the same as jobs. remember, here in america, we use lots of robots. factories are finding robots in america cheaper than labor in china. factories always looking for the least expensive labor. so, the one thing that drives this home, politicians talk all the time about factory jobs going overseas. huge campaign issue. what they don't mention is protection at american factories has never fallen. productivity has increased. we have fewer people making more stuff. american hard work and robots. >> yeah, that last one is the key one. thanks a lot. >>> check the forecast right now with christina. looking good for thursday? >> yeah, looking good and hey, it still takes people to make those robots, so don't you forget it. temperatures are looking good, but tha

athe titans attending today are notably different than in 2011, including steve jobs, mark zuckerberg and heads of google, oracle, netflix, san stored, and cisco. today, heads of etsy, drop box, comcast, linkedn, microsoft and at and t. experts say the differences show which companies the president believes will shape the future of america's tech policy. >> that is interesting. >> what do you do before the end of the year? it could earn you money next year. >> it could. michael finney is live with the year end tax hot line. >> a lot of it comes down to, first phone number is what i should do first. this to which tax deductions you take. >> should you put off paying property taxes until next year? or prepay this year? >> it's complex. as always it depends on flar fact pat yesh of the individual. depending on what income levels are are you can wind up with deductions phased out, you can possibly wind up in a thachl would take away benefits. >> but theory is take it when you know you're going to get it? >> that is the best advise i've heard. >> congress can change their mind on what you

steve jobs understood margins and knew everything to keep them. that model is now broken. this won't kill apple but it is a very differ company decades after steve jobs, this is demonstrating that. melissa: do you agree with that for better or worse? >> not entirely. apple doesn't negotiate ever. this is one-day deal. i don't think it will eat into their margins too much. they will sell at unnegotiatable,onmoving, 50% plus or minus gross margin on pretty much every product. melissa: what does this say for amazon? amazon was the big story yesterday. all of the people we mentioned in this segment are basically amazon foes. you have apple, you have walmart, you have target. they're all battling against amazon in one way or the other. plus does the fact they join forces and were so successful on black friday, what does it say of amazon? >> i think amazon is one of the great strengths of retail. everybody is is not apple wanted to compete toe-to-toe with amazon. amazon has own line of consumer electronics with the kindle which -- melissa: is anyone buying a kindle now, given 1.

the same was true of steve jobs and bill gates. that kind of problem solving passion is what has fueled so much innovation in this country. i am lucky. >> let's go back to money. what happened to you here as you began to be worth a lot of money? obviously, you're not taking a salary for a long time. what did you think about money? no question that people who made money rapidly like i did ok from ordinary backgrounds but extraordinary in many ways in terms of the family i was lucky enough to be born into and suddenly having extraordinary wealth, the wealth can either absorb you or you can look at it and say what one want to do with this? really looked at the idea idea to be super clear about what was my passion and i had the privilege of not having to worry about the resource engine. when you see young journalists today and they have a passion and they worry about it there's a resource engine that will feel them sending their children to school. what about their grandchildren? i was lucky enough that it got because of the sudden ris

steve jobs. if you can't think beyond the box you can't do anything. those of us who have studios at hunter point h have had an amazing opportunity to create and do our art. without the idea of being injured or run out because we can't afford the spaces if and when the new building is built and those rents are considerably more than what we're paying that community will be destroyed. they're maybe a few artists that can stay but i'm not one of them >> thank you. >> is there any further public comment on this item please bring up a card. >> (calling names) >> steve chair thank you, commissioners and happy holidays. let me just say that it's a cripple at the crutch. one thing my grandfather told me was the young is his hair but the older is the strength. i'm also remind in 1967 we looked at a particle that was sold for $1.52 or 53 acres people's temple jim jones. the other day that happened. i'm reminded there's a lot of seniors that deserve a place to go to be entertained. they have facilities in the community to take care of seniors evidence and do a v

last story came to us via the memphis commercial appeal and it's about the doctor who performed steve jobstransplant a few years ago. seems while jobs was living in memphis during his treatment, he bought a home close to the hospital and then struck up a friendship. he an his lawyer. with the doctor who performed that transplant and that relationship was close enough that after jobs left his house, moved out, the doctor apparently moved in basically rent-free or close to it for a couple years before he bought it outright. it's certainly, robert, raises questions as there had been way back when, when he was undergoing this transplant, about how he got where he was on the transplant registry. >> you're so right. there were so many questions at that time, was he getting better treatment because he was steve jobs, wealthy, and this cuts to the heart of the deepest fears by americans that the wealthy not only have better lives, but get better access to better health care and ultimately live longer. the most essential things in life actually the wealthy get better treatment and in this case, a l

re steve jobs? >> she doesn't seem to be that much of a jerk -- >> i'm not saying she is.g to achieve that level of success, there has to be an innate confidence or something about -- >> willingness to dismiss critics, to plow ahead with an idea even without data. >> they have to present the analysis and in your article you mentioned she had gone certain routes or come to conclusions without presenting the analysis or work behind what she believed. >> one of the myths about marissa mayer she is extremely data driven, everything is received and by the data and people who coworked with her closely said not true. she goes by her gut quite often and doesn't want to hear the data if it contradicts her preexisting debate. she thinks like a debate ir and not an analyst. too much data can be paralyzing and going from your gut can be a good thing. where i ended up, at the end of it all, if the products are there that make consumers want to use yahoo! she will succeed. if not these flaws of hers will matter. >> you weed out people who maybe don't ascribe to your vision, right? have
