i am the director for law enforcement and information security at google. in that capacity i oversee the company's response to government requests for user information under various authorities. i'm also responsible for working with teams across google to protect the skurs of our networks and our user data. mr. chairman, we commend you for introducing the surveillance transparency act of 2013. simply stated, we believe that service providers should be able to disclose basic statistics about national security demands that we may receive. the revelations about the u.s. governments and other government surveillance practices over the past few months have sparked a serious debate about the laws governing surveillance of private communications by the intelligence community. google recognizes the very real threats that the u.s. and other countries face today. and of course governments have a duty to protect their citizens. but the current lack of transparency about the nature of government surveillance in democratic countries undermines the freedom and the trust

the judge really came out swinging for google here. >> explain why the judge did agree with google. if you go to google books a lot of people are surprised at how large the search database is, we are talking millions of the titles. there's a chunk of books on the web and you can read chapters. >> you can search full text and read portions of the text. if you like it you can buy it. the american libraries association kag out in support of the judge's decision saying if it was good for books, good for libraries and research. the judge's decision to really get behind google on this. he went through the four different parts of fair use and found google was not in violation in three, and in one a weak violation. probably the most interesting part of the judge's ruling was his notion that the service google provides to google books is an important educational service, an important part of the making the books broadly available for learning and education. >> you say good for google and good for books. is it bad for authors, since many are angry about this? there's no doubt that the creativ

google executives are clearly openly very angry about this. and engineers i've talked to who are closely familiar with google's internals were, as i said? the story, quite profane they exploded in these very angry reactions when they realized what was being done to them and google is accelerating the efforts to encrypt the traffic that flows between those data centers. yahoo! simply gave a statement that it was not aware of and did not cooperate in any of this and it has not had efforts to

on monday, google chaked their terms of service to allow the company to utilize google plus users names and photos. it's called a shared endorsement. but, now, instead of just being an ad for a chinese rest rant, you might also see a picture of your friend and a positive review. like a lot of the services google provides, it's a mix of help ful and creepy. eormes are only with a google plus account. even if you don't use google plus, you might have an acount. google pluses the plus sign pretty hard. you do have the option to disable shared endorsements. it probably won't begin for most folks until they see one of these ads. from reactions people see online, it just freaks people out. >> thank you, connor. you want to look 10 years younger? that's cra-cra. but we can make you sound 10 years younger. >> is fresh still fresh? >> we're knocking tenl years off of your vocabulary on the break down. >>. >> can you define swag? >> if my kids were here, they would. swag would be something hanging down, like a drapery. >> well, to me, swag means jewelry. >> do you have swag? >> do i? no. very lit

software, apps, and physical google gadgets . and i think that is the key to these barges how google is now moving into the consumer technology market. making and selling gadgets. >> reporter:don't forget google accuired motorolla so they are making and selling android phones they have the nexus 7 tablet, that's google's tablet to rival the ipad. they are offering a device that just came out >> reporter:it's called chrome=cast it's a $35 streaming media player that wire-less-ly connects your phone, tablet, or laptop to your living room tv. i predict this device is going to be huge >> reporter:and soon they will be selling google glass. so they are in the gadget game. but the y don't have retail stores their main competitor apple has stores. that are famous around the world >> reporter:they look cool and its a place you can play with -- and learn about, all the apple gadgets google needs something like this. they need retail space. and they need to one up apple and make it cooler then apple's glass stores. thus. a floating store.

google is about to release a new wave of google glass units. high-tech glasses out into the wild. not just anyone could get their happeneds on the hot tech item. there's a big catch. >>> right now around 10,000 people have a google glass unit. google just announced they will let the testers invite three of their friends to be testers. the glasses won't be available for public purpose until 2013. you could imagine that's a large techy population who want to get a hand of these. google said they are doing a second wreef of google glass giveouts, because the exists testers will do their best. they have a point. maybe it's the best way to expand the product. part of me wonders, if it's a marketing plan to spread hike, so hard to get your hands on, you have to know someone to get it. the existing testers have to pay $1,500 for a pair of google glass. next wave of testers who are lucky enough to get an invite, also have to pay $1,500. on ebay, right now, there are over 60 existing google glass testers auctioning off their invite. they think people will pay for the chance $1,500 for goog

google is a rocket ship. yes, you're right, we don't though what you're going to do exactly, but if you're offered a seat on a rocket ship, don't ask what seat. because what eric said is that when industries are doing well, everyone in those companies strive, and when industries or companies aren't doing well, people don't do as well. extrapolating advice i give people is go where your skills are needed. not everyone can join the high-tech rocket industry, but there are areas of every company, of every industry, different specialties where your skills are more important, and there's a growing need for them. and i think that has been the most important career advice i got, and i'm so grateful. >> thank you. thank you very much. let's return to -- >> the book, yes. >> i want to go back to, i'm still upset about this 77% number. >> i'm glad. i am too. >> well, we agree.

so now there is a google street with the same house. and i really like that idea of transition, where you then take an image from the internet and put it in the real world to be captured and placed back on-line so that really questions reality. so that is also i am interested in. so we go to the nibus works. and the nibus works, well on this distinct moment on a location and you could look at them as a only situation maybe? or just an element from a classical painting. but what i am really interested in, and the temporary aspect of the work so it is just there for a few seconds and then it falls apart and so the work exists, the physical aspect is important but the work exists as a photograph. and this photograph, for instance, as a document of something that happened in a specific location. and also the space. well, for instance, basically as a photo work and with every space i try to keep a connection to an exhibition space and also to the relation of the artwork. and also because, yeah, you could ask yourself that you could taste of

on google's shopping. google says price isn't the only factor when deciding what the showcase. it also considers things like free shipping and retailer preferences. >> amazon also gives merchants preference based on an item's price and availability, but unlike google, they toent require companies to pay for it. by the way, google reached a tentative anti-trust settlement in europe over similar issues. >> really interesting. keep clicking in different spots, huh? >> keep digging. >>> paul, a lot of people coming to town to visit their families for the holiday. there could be changes weather wise. >> we may have some rain while you're out finishing up that meal on turkey day. going to get wetter around here for some of you. right now, we are seeing partly cloudy skies. live look outside san jose where you were very hazy today. poor air quality. going to do that again tomorrow. have a low in the mid 40s in san jose tonight. your air quality moderate in the santa clara valley, the worst air quality tomorrow, w

google is going to provide the financial [speaker not understood], correct? >> yes. >> after that what happens? >> well, first of all, i think we will make whatever proper investments we will have because we will consider this to be part of the infrastructure of our parks and recreation. as we do wi-fi in neighborhood corridors, we have infrastructure there. so, when i say that we are responsible, the city is responsible for infrastructure, we will then pay to maintain that infrastructure, particularly if residents and the visitors depend upon that infrastructure to work in a certain level. having said that, it doesn't the necessarily mean that we say, okay, the general fund has got to pay for this. that is why i'm touting the membership of sf city, our technology companies. i will tout the membership of the chamber of commerce. i will tout the membership of the community benefits district and the businesses along the corridors that we want to improve. all of them are partners to help us figure out how to maintain all the infrastructure that we want to put in

did not have to admit any fault google's argument was that users could always opt out of advertising by installing an extra plugin however states and the federal government say the company misled so far users into thinking they didn't have to do that exact step with this explanation on its website so far you set by default to block all third party cookies if you have not changed those settings this option effectively accomplishes the same thing as setting the opt out cookie so if you are a safari user reading that exact statement you probably assume that you were in the clear last year the federal trade commission accused google of misrepresentation to safari customers for these incorrect statements online and want to twenty two point five million dollar settlement but the f.t.c. did fall short of accusing the internet giant of breaking any laws where the federal government falls short. the states picked up as part of this new settlement with the states google has agreed to never use that code again to be more transparent with customers about how they can avoid advertisements and to

google has procedures they follow. what other companies have taken advantage of the opportunity they have to reveal more information about what is surveilled and not? >> i would have to get back to and give you the list of companies. you believe microsoft has issued a transparency report with certain data. facebook, i would have to give you the complete list did i can give you the information about which one are taking advantage of the government's offer so far. >> i am sure we will learn more in the next panel. it is to my understanding that all of the -- how universal is the request or the ability to give broader or more information about what is being surveilled and was being collected. >> i think it is fair to say that a lot of the major service providers do want to provide --e information about their about how their users are affected by government surveillance. we work with them on the proposals that bob described, which is that we would release the aggregate number of law enforcement demands. i think they found

your data is controlled only by the contract you are from google. if you read your privacy policy, you are probably unique among your viewers. >> is the access unlimited for google, facebook and twitter, do they own it all? >> no, their policy says that you own it all. that could change, obviously, but right now, they are saying you own it all. >> what do you think is going to become the out come? >> well, google is suing in court to get permission to talk about it. i am a fan of free speech and i am a fan of this. >> did you say they are suing in secret court? >> that's right. >> the secret court? >> we have a lawsuit that's going to be heard in a secret court? that's where we are these days. >>> in the meantime, these are not good times to be a democrat on capitol hill. should they be worried about their chances for reelection? we'll be right back. ,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,, st national >>> it was not a good saturday for local college football fans. >> that's right, stanford's playoff hopes went from slim to none with the loss to usc. the spartans were u
