like thomas edison. thomas, what are you doing?! experimenting. brian, look!i, i presume. who are you-a, little-a lisping baby? your assassin, you overrated caricaturist! (gasps) stewie! that's my name, don't wear it out. (laughs) see, that's brand-new to him. (creaking) ey! ey! you're about to be yesterday's hopscotch chalk on a sidewalk, stewie! erased! yeah, no, i-i got the metaphor, but, bertram, if you erase me, you'll destroy the universe! what are you talking about? listen to him, bertram! it's true! brian and i were trapped outside the space-time continuum and the only way for us to get back was to overload my old return pad! the resulting explosion was the big bang! so if you kill me, you're killing yourself and everything else that ever existed or will exist! worth it!

leader who is, you know, inventing and the sort of what we all have in our minds when we think of thomas edison. and that's not how large-scale innovation works in a company, in my experience. it really is the great strategies, the great product visions, even the great features that kind of emerge, and then somebody has an idea and somebody else has a refinement to that idea. >> he is clearly hoping these new kindless go down as a success. preorders start today with the models all shipping by november 7. of course, new surface tablets from crosstown rival microsoft arrive in less than a month, and we expect new ipads from apple. these new kindles will have plenty of competition. in seattle, i'm john fort for "nightly business report." we begin market focus with a $1.6 billion deal. the medical technology company, striker is buying mako surgical, which makes a robotic arm to help surgeons more precisely replace knees and hips. it will give a strong competitive advantage and trigger a wave of takeovers. shares soaring 82% to close at $29.46. striker, by contrast, fell about 3% to $68.79. >>> auto

thomas edison captured this on his new invention. the newest internet sensation is grumpy cat. scowl is actually the result of an underbite. she's got a manager and a calendar. a japanese kitty who loves diving into boxes remains the most viewed with more than 224 million hits. friskies said 15% of all internet traffic is connected to cats. advertisers are paying attention. >> cats can be searched, watched and shared faster than ever. >> businesses see these cat videos that have 10, 20, 60 million views on youtube and they basically say give me something like that. >> good catch. >> cat videos are incredibly addictive. >> reporter: stephen jurisc is the creative director of a small digital ad agency that announced tongue in cheek it was moving exclusively into catvertising. >> our goal is integrate cat videos into every stage of the customer experience. >> reporter: it was a joke, but it proved cat videos sell. >> we actually won three accounts because of the catvertising video. >> reporter: over the weekend, the walker art museum in minneapolis held its second annual cat video

from thomas edison to steven jobs, it is in our national dna to dream up new ways to solve old problemslled quirky.com that lets ordinary people become successful inventors. we thought we'd take a look at some these latest inventions. please welcome quirky.com founder and ceo, ben kaufman. ben, come on out here, buddy. ♪ [ cheers and applause ] >> jay: again, these are real ideas from real people that what, you finance and put them on the market? >> yeah, it's amazing. quirky's a website where all you need to do is have a great idea. >> jay: okay. >> and if enough people vote for it, on our website, then we do everything. manufacturing, design, engineering. even marketing. >> jay: okay, and some people have become quite wealthy, correct? >> absolutely. we make millionaires. >> jay: all right -- you make millionaires? >> we do. we make millionaires. >> jay: now what is this first invention? it looks like just a rake to me. >> so fall is coming along. this is from michael in connecticut where a lot of leaves fall on the ground this time of year. this is a rake and as you start raking and

thomas edison said that he basically made this in the view of an economic czar deconstructivist. american people are inherently capitalistic, but they are money oriented. they will go after grab bag of cash because their motive is that. businesses can be in the wrong side as well. the tea party in the occupied movement were supposed to point out the crony capitalism is bad. and so they marched on wall street, which makes no sense. if you're going to march on crony capitalism, go mart on the folks that were collected. >> host: his first book is "brainwashed: how universities indoctrinate america's youth." science and religion bolster one another, he said. the more we learn about the world in which we live, the clearer it becomes that there must be a divine planner. professors don't think so, science and religion are completely at odds with one another. god is not a master designer, everything is an accident. >> guest: that is the point of many secular folks on the left. that's the basis for functioning of western civilization in some ways. i truly believe it science and religion a

bezos talked to me about his guiding principles in media and in retail, and why he's not like thomas edisoninvestments in content. you personally just made an investment in content, as well, with the "washington post." peel like to ask you what's going to change in ten years. i want to ask you what's not going to change in ten years as far as digital content is concerned. what is fundamental, you believe, about digital content? >> well, that -- first of all, that is a very good question. because i rarely get asked that second question. i often get asked what's going to change. i rarely get asked, what's not going to change. and it's usually better to build business strategies and product visions around stability. so in our retail business, we know, for example, that ten years from now people are still going to want low prices. we know they're still going to want fast delivery. we never have to worry we'll wake up ten years from now and the customers will say, "mr. bezos, i love amazon, i just wish you delivered a little more slowly." that's not going to happen. and i think in content, there

thomas edison way back when during the roosevelt administration, thomas edison suggested he be grantedin the economics aren't structure the entire u.s. economy. this is one of the great misconceptions, the idea that american businesses are inherently capitalistic. so if the government is a big grab bag of cash, business will go in and go after the grab bag of cash because their motive is profit margin for their stockholders. businesses can be on the wrong side of this. they were supposed to meet. crony capitalism, which makes no sense. a march on the folks. host government should fear is this book, "brainwashed," most christians and jews feel there is no implicit conflict between science and religion. science and religion bolster one another. the clearer it becomes that there must be a divine plan or. professors don't think so. science and religion are completely at odds with one another. god is not a master designer. >> guest: that is the essential point of a lot of folks on the left. that's a devastating idea for a basic running and functioning of western civilization. i truly believ
