well, now google is giving us a look inside. cbs 5 reporter kiet do shows us what is behind the curtain. >> reporter: with all the security, barbed wire, surveillance camera and even retina scans, you'd think this place was housing something extremely valuable. well, it is. your private information. google took cbs news on the first and only tour of a place that for years they denied even existed. its data centers. this one in north carolina is one of twelve enormous facilities spread throughout the world. when you enter a q it -- a request, it first gets routed here. data is backed up twice on more than 55,000 servers. critical data is backed up a third time here. >> it's amazing how all of this works, and that it works at all. >> reporter: google has taken a hit in recent years, because the data centers consume huge amounts of electricity. the company has been making strides, cutting back on air conditioning. >> we estimated we saved over $1 billion in the history of google, through these efficiency measures. >> reporter: goog

google is in that mix. 24 hours ago, surprising the market. that 8% drop we saw in google yesterday extending those losses. it's come off of the lows of of the session, but still very, very weak here. also having its worst day since back on august 6th. so we are seeing that contributing to the downward movement. in terms of the impact, you put together apple, microsoft, and google, and that accounts for about 40% of the downside in the nasdaq big cap. all of them are pretty weak. google in fact will need to start watching down in the area of around $630 or so. that's its 200-day moving average. they're all below their 50-day moving averages here. again the concern is the slowdown. apple, which had seemingly seemed immune with its real appeal to consumers these days, tyler, now is really going to be suspect as we go into next week, the debut of the mini and its earnings. >> bertha, i want to bring in bob pisani, and sue, jim yourio, we continue to watch the dow slide down now 209 points. bob pisani, i saw a fact earlier this hour indicating of

>> i actually went with google for the long term. it's really important when you analyze these two names, this particular happens with apple is people tend to fall in love, i'm loss ug right here, people actually tend to fall in love with the product and not necessarily take a look at the stock from an an lit call perspective. and that's where you really need to put on your hat and take a look at all the fundamentals, technicals and what other indicators of the market are telling you. my biggest concern is when i look at these two names its product dependency with apple versus google which has multiple business lines. and full disclose you are . i own an iphone and ipad, i have all these products. i love it from a product perspective but it's almost like having coach bags. i have a hundred of them but i will short the stock if i have an opportunity to do so. i'm not saying i'm going to short apple right here but from a longer trerm perspective especially for our odd yerntion if you have a high dollar stock amount goog sell one i will

one, google. the most famous and long standing, google analytics. you can know how many mobile users are coming to your website. you can know on publishing this content, should you focus on mobile users or website users. i will give a name, a company called delv.it. they will send to you which social networks are sending the most information. go to twitter or go to facebook. you can start simple and easy. >> what about analyzing your site. i want to make something blue or red. i'm assuming you should analyze all that stuff as well. >> you should. i wouldn't want to get the viewers too wrapped up in analytics. the basic simple things people should do is create a ton of content. i sort of think the currency of the u.s. economy is the u.s. dollar. the currency of the internet is links. it can create remarkable, interesting content. you will pull people in and turn your website into a hub on the internet. i wouldn't go crazy with analytics. the things i would want to look at is how many visitors am i getting per channel, how many leads and how many cust

take google, it's still trending down. so the market's becoming somewhat efficient in that regard focusing on the longer term issues. what's their wireless strategy? what are margins going to be? on the industrials, we're getting near the bottom. i don't believe that's the case, though. >> we'll express a little bit more about google. when you think about the earnings guidance that's come out and its negative so far. >> when you look at the energy companies, the industrial companies, people have been so short them for so long, they can't help but go up at that point. they got so beaten up, i bought it going into a lot of these debates, but quite frankly, the coal space, we had btu, we were talking about it later, btu surprised the whole market. i'm staying long that space. >> let's talk now about caterpillar slashing the 2012 guidance for the second time this year. steven weiss sounded the alarm last month. >> there are expectations underlying their earnings guidance are way too high as they were in prior quarters. so, yes

google really blew it on wednesday when one of its contractors released google's numbers right smack in the middle of the trading day. there was bad news inside as well. google's expenses are up, its advertising revenue weak. investors didn't have time for that deep breath. it sent the stock down 10% on wednesday. we're just seeing the stock beginning to climb a bit. it's up about 1.5% in the first few seconds of trading. now, obviously google's financials very complex. the takeaway on them is what we've been saying all week, though. this move to mobile a huge threat for silicon valley. google depending on advertising. fewer people are clicking on those mobile ads. it's the same problem for facebook. they release their financials next week, hopefully right on time. >> thank you very much. >>> right now we have an update to a developing story we've been following all morning long in san francisco. we have a live look near the intersection of eddy and franklin streets where a car slammed right into a taxi trying to run from police. one suspect right now at this hour still on the loose.

google is all about advertising. information is very valuable. it's crucial for google to almost personalize ads to individual consumers. many critics were hoping the european union would deem google actions as a legal or impose a fine. they ordered them to change the way they collect information. >> there's a feeling google has been trying things out a little in europe to see how it meshes in with european rules and to see if that would work across the world. there's been a break for them. there's no big fine. ofs one of a number regulatory battles. there's a big antitrust case against it in europe. >> so it's not the only case google is facing. in terms of privacy laws, there are other countries going through similar investigations. it will be interesting to see their findings on top of what we heard today from the eu. >> doctors in england preparing to conduct reconstructive surgery on the school girls shot by the taliban in pakistan last week. 14-year-old malala yousafzai on forflown to britain treatment after the taliban shot her in the head

a younger google does. before i dissect the two writing off microsoft could be a brutal mistake here. the company stole base too much going forward to ignore. because it hasn't gotten back to the turn of the century doesn't rule out a run. the problem with microsoft is that it is linked to personal computers and they are no longer a growth business. when you buy tech you buy tech for growth. now, microsoft has done amazing things. their gaming software is incredible. i welcome their new software. they cannot be written off. but microsoft suffers from something that is deadly when it comes to the demographic it must own if it is to stay relevant for the next 25 years. the problem, it is not cool. go talk to your kids. talk to people in college. i have never ever heard a kid say i'm stuck with this miserable apple and i want a microsoft operating system. i've never heard someone say the new windows is so exciting now i can junk my mac. people from our generation don't get this at all. they are too old. they a

look at the price of google versus a productivity change a get from using google. so what do you want? you want talent of people to be driven out of their minds trying to keep up with other talented people who have taken the risk and gotten successful. and what you see in 2000 is that i had a friend that made a whole bunch of money with some crazy internet started. i can't bear the idea that i'm working at bain make a lot of money and there's a guy out there that made more money. i've got to quit and take the risk to try to get even more. and so i think investors in the same way are driven to take more risk and underwrite the kind of risk that produces those breakthroughs, they're looking for the cure for cancer as opposed to say i'm going to buy aaa bonds or government guaranteed debt that will pay me a modest income from that investment, but i'm not taking any where near the risk because the government will take 50% or 75% of it away. so why should i? if it's a matter of that gets passed onto the customer, then it just raises prices and customers as i don't want

i'm not saying google's finished. far from it. i'm saying this transition from desktops to mobile phones has played havoc throughout the tech food chain to the point where even the companies we thought were going to be big winners, especially google, can't make nearly as much money as we thought, as we expected, as we anticipated. of course the pain was exacerbated by the mickey mouse way the earnings were disclosed. prematurely, intraday, without an ounce of explanation. it was then followed by a preposterous three-hour training halt not long after, again, totally unexplained. and i might add inexplicable. you'd think that the savviest of all technology communicators would know how to communicate its earnings. but it's pretty clear that we've now seen one more soft spot in the underbelly of investing. we can't even issue earnings right. i'm sure many investors will conclude that owning stocks, maybe it's become one big joke. that said, we can protect ourselves from these surprises. i'm not saying -- i'm not going to say we can av

there are hacks of google and rsa. there are millions of attacks, literally millions of attacks around the world and intrusions on computer systems every day in the world. probably the most phenomenal attack involved a warm called stuxnet and in that case, the united states government i think working with israel that the united states government developed a computer worm that went into the nuclear process facilities in iran and disrupted the centrifuges. >> host: so it was developed by the u.s. government? >> guest: yes according to the reporting. >> host: what was its purpose? was at a defense mechanism by the defense department? >> guest: no, it was a purely preemptive effort to slow the nuclear weapons processing capability of iran. >> host: you mention charlie miller and mr. miller is in st. louis and he joins us today on "the communicators." mr. miller, what was your goal in breaking into the iphone? >> guest: in that particular case it was for a concept like robert mentioned. they had hackers across the world and

android google sanjoy is in my opinion and technically superior or wes operator. system it has various oh yeah so if you quit manufacturers that put out significant the very advanced equipment and they put it a very very thin margin so you're talking they have they give up with a system that lets them free with equipment that's very very advanced and gets a great of a free every three months you know between a different manufacturers in order for apple to compete with that they have two choices right they could drop the price at. which of course just margins or they could increase the technology that goes into the i phone which also exhausts margins so no matter what choice they have it so much is that you see that going as time goes on the cost more more to make the i phone five and make the i phone four and i phone three it costs more to make the latest i pad versus i pad. yeah that's interesting and it's interesting the product mix that has driven that and it's now compounding their margins and their earnings potential let's switch gears not switch gears but wh

karen, you own apple and google, i want to ask you, because we had verrone on saying woe rather own google. at this point, have you been pairing your position in apple at all just from a portfolio management standpoint? >> no we had some quick spreads that we were long against some way out of the money calls. we unwound part of that trade today. sell willing some put spreads for exampletively getting longer, taking those out of the money calls. to use a clinton phrase, there's nothing wrong with a that will can't be fixed by what is right with apple. i think that i don't know when that will be, but i think we will see some big quarters in the not too distant future around could it trade sfloer of course it could trade lower, i'm long. staying long boat. >> over to the semis quick. on the 28th, the guys announced what you didn't want to hear, the stock is at a major one year level, 12 times the sector. some of the other guys will follow. again this is an interesting place going into this quarter to be picking up semis that had their faces taken off. watch that one. >> accenture a name we do
