If you look at where they get the revenue, 95 of it is from three games. 78 is from candy crush allowing. Are very reliant on a handful of games. But zynga success at zynga challenge the company. Farmville seemed to me to be slightly revolutionary or break through in some terms. This does not have a sleek look. Looks like something you would pick up the tj maxx or marshalls. He game is like tetris not exactly a new concept. Defriend people who play it. How important is it to homage toew content come up with new games . Or why would we think the company would ever come up with something again after the game that does not enthusiastic about we are following breaking it. Who is . Crowdedield. Very news out of ukraine, the Bloodiest Day in the threemonth standoff between protesters and king is going the kings, queens. Government. N at least 10 people have been killed. Hundreds more winded. A very crowded kingdom. Joining me is a National Security and were not theres there have been a lot of successes. Team leader. Ryan chilcote joins us from zynga, kabam. London. Andas traveled extensively it is like what have you done has lived in this block. For me lately, right . Start off by telling us how serious this is as we also investors want to know what is next.

I have been watching this for king hasnt laid out for me the past three months. The game the intent to make. Seen few scenes as i expect them to continue to make casual games. Harrowing as this one. Right now you see independent very well with the microtransactions within usefuland several candy crush. They have elongated candy crush. Look at super cell. Protesters in the forefront and flamese protest camp in they have people playing for a year and a half at this point. Line between the money here. Plus, as g which would protesters and riot police. Molotov cocktails coming from help them segue into real money gambling. They clearly need to bang out the militantly minded more hits. Protesters, and on the other they are a gaming company. Side, the police using shock grenades and rubber bullets. Not know we would that has been going on for several hours. Hold up as a success. I was looking at the farmvid basically since 9 00 local time, that is when it really takes off. That is when the police said around 84 million users and was then overtaken. They are launching an people forget about city bill. Antiterrorist operation to clear the square. I remind you there are several and actually had as many people sers, but thousand people on the square. Several thousand they have had to cut people for people to lead. Verify length all day. Several hundred injured. Example. You are camp lies in yourself effectively. Much this is it is something they can happen and people are fickle. Do you feel the weight of the people . They want the next cool thing to play. People are not busy. The whole country against the current government and this draft the useu stems from the decision to forge a closer relationship with six Unemployment Rate in the Vladimir Putin and russia rather amount of people on these games than signing an agreement that if you would see any would lead toward a closer correlation. How about the weather . Who relationship with the European Union. Is this a rebellion of the plays candy crush . Apparently no one that knows him. People or a group of very it really is a four quadrant militant code testers. Game. Men and women. But not the majority. A little older than younger. We like the people that it is not that black and white. You do seehand. O call walmart moms people injured and taken away from protesters. People who watch soap operas. On the one hand you do have the i guess matt does not know a majority of the population that lot of walmart moms. I went to my first walmart a was very against the president s Decision Just over three months couple of weeks ago. I do not know if there is a countrya uturn on the walmart in the area and i lived in europe for 10 years. Joining a freetrade agreement i would go back. With the European Union. Why would that be such a big thanks then you might be married deal . It was seen as the country moving closer to the west, as to a woman who plays candy opposed to russia. Crush. Thank you. They thought it was a betrayal of their interest. There are many people in ukraine before we say goodbye to everyone, give us a sense of the ipo market and whether we are seeing more things in the elaledia and the social who do feel they should be closer to russia. Money thatextbook this has become something more trend since twitter. Than what it started at three months ago. Came out and you can do there are a lot of people out classwork on the internet, but there that are very frustrated it is assigned that the ipo market remains strong with with the government not just because of the total improvement in the stock market. Direction. L more Growth Companies coming out. This is certainly one of them. Hold that thought. They are concerned about corruption and not seeing the leadership it would like. Taking a quick break. An awardwinning direct your joins us. He will tell us the secret to that is a big issue at play here success. As well. Not note adam is closeiously in such here does not mean you cannot proximity to russia, talk to us have inside an action in your about the history of the ukraine life. Talking deals next. And why it is people would be resistant to the idea of being closer to russia. A couple of factors. One of them is that ukraine itself has been somewhat divided. In world war ii, number of ukrainians who decided to fight and forces. Stall there are historical divides. That, a lot of ukrainians see economic prospects much brighter in the west than in the east. That is one reason i think they were so disappointed by the decision to do the uturn and follow away from the European Union. Last, i think we need to see this in the context of a much larger eastwest tugofwar that has been going on since the berlin wall came down. Republicare the soviet landing to join the eu. I think it is interesting to theythat we all thought were going to sign the pact and Vladimir Putin seem to have the power to strong long strong arm the government into doing something they did not want to do. I want to thank you for joining us. Will continue to follow this as it unfolds. A month after carl icon riposte to split off paypal from ebay we will hear directly from the ebay ceo. If you chatted with me on facebook this weekend, chances are it was not actually me. Here is what my verified facebook account looks like for me. It does not look like this. That is what . Appeared this weekend. Someone created a fake account. They did a good job. Some of these comments are unbelievable. One person wrote me a fake trish sent me a friend request and said she is starting a Financial Consultancy and wants me to work with her. Another wrote, your impersonator in londonu would eat and suggest we meet for lunch. The fake page is finally down. We got the company to take the first one down and within 10 minutes another one appeared. So far, so good. This whole incident shows you how fragile our Online Identities really are and how easy it is for someone to scam on social networking site forms. Youre with more, richard falkenrath. He happened to get a rather panic text message from a saturday morning saying you will not believe what happened. Issue, get to a bigger which is that you do not really know if anyone is who you think or who they portray themselves to be online. Other than a track record of interactions who show them to be the real trish regan. There are a lot of public personalities that have had problems like this. There are two broad forms of fraud going on. One is a very tailored specific impersonation of you. That is out of your friends. That is a less common form. The more common is massproduced identity and account creation. Case, theyparticular were messaging all of my fans, people that follow my account, striking up conversations with them. And then asking for sensitive financial information. Facebook relies on those interactions to catch the people. They have a number of systems in place to deal with the problem, but it is heavily reliant on reporting on users and the person in person made it. I felt like every minute and hour that went by, someone was at risk. How did you figure it out . One of our producers said were you chatting with me last night on facebook . No, and i grabbed my phone to make sure my face but it the baby had not sent messages. I said no. They actually targeted another friend as well his started getting suspicious and started asking questions like when was the last time we saw each other . Facebook, like twitter, are very reliant on people to get suspicious about interactions and then report it. Theyre not as good at catching it at the very first creation. What about the chances of catching the perpetrator . Zero. Their sanction is to shut the account down. It is not clear it was a violation of law. Not at all clear that impersonating you. Using my pictures and identity is not illegal . Country not know what they are in. If they are in the u. S. , there is something called free speech. It defends a lot of objectionable behavior. That is crazy. Welcome to american democracy. A goes further than this. This is what a lot of kids are dealing with right now in the ball being space where people assume their identity and message their friends. There are certain kinds of content that would be illegal. If it were pornography, that is illegal for separate reasons. Or facebook, they are only worried about terms of service. Whoever datedhe facebook terms of surface. The sanction is to shut the account down. That is it. File civilrobably suit if you can find the person. It would end up being very expensive and burdensome for you. You wouldve a hard time showing damages. Why not have verified accounts for everyones . Account for everyones . It was a smart answer. People new to answer that asked that question. They do not have the resources to do it. I do not know what the current users are. They do not have the resources. A very mysterious process. You can request that they verify you but they decide to verify. The processes are mysterious. Twitter does it. They do not do it for everyone. I do not know in the case of twitter if you can request it or not. Quite a weekend. Thank you for helping me out into the whole bloomberg team. I want to get on the bloomberg a list. You just call up richard when you have Security Issues . Awardwinning director David Russell will talk American Hustle right here. Back into. In two. I do not like any of that. I want to help you. It is not real. It is fake. God. Between you and that is what matters. That is what counts. Last month carl icahn proposed ebay split off the online payment unit, paypal. Here is what he had to say. There is no reason to be together at this point in our i think they should be handled by a Management Team that is separate. I think the multiple will go up to radically. The ebay ceo, john donahoe, here to answer the questions. Leisure to have you in studio. Iss talk about what carl proposing. Almost half of the business comes from paypal. We look at this every year. Ebay and paypal can be most successful and we continue to believe the best way is together. Ebay makes paypal stronger and makes paypal stronger by helping it grow faster. It provides more data and a Strong Financial provider. There is no question ebay and paypal goto question. I am a huge ebay user and paypal makes the whole process easier and more pleasant. Not company, they could still cooperate just as closely as they do now. Not integrated as closely as they are now. Mobile payments. Mobile is the most important platform shift arguably in the past decade. When mobile for started, no one would have downloaded the app. But 100 Million People downloaded the ebay mobile app. Allowed ebay to start what was initially 600 million of total mobile payment in 2010. Billion last to 27 year. You see that 70 of the revenue 70 of paypal is a nonebay platform and growing. Paypal, it isat about 30 of the revenue, growing at roughly 15 . Why shouldnt investors assume is real Growth Engine actually paypal . Paypal is growing quickly and successfully. Payments are converging, not diverging. The Commerce Companies are trying to get into payments. Payment companies are getting into commerce. This allows the company to get the flywheel going. Mobile, the most recent phenomenon, has helped having a totive market, helped them get viral traction. I have been using the mobile platform for over 10 years. I remember bidding on the bed in germany with my mobile phone and thought it was so far out i could do that. It is part of our daily lives. I feel like by the same token Digital Payments are clearly going to rule the way we do internet commerce in the future. You get such a great head start if you could spin off paypal and take the valuation before Something Like paypal comes along and makes it useless. Paypal is pursuing Digital Payments and is the leading Digital Payments alternative in Digital Payments. Like for now, until everyone starts using bitcoin him and then there will be no reason to use paypal. You can use digital currencies. Doing is building a digital wall that can take multiple types of currencies. People look at the stock rice Silicon Valley is tied to the stock price and say this has not gone anywhere in two years. So i want to go so placed someplace where there is a lot of growth. You hear buzz about Companies Like square and there is concern you cannot get the best minds coming out of school right now. The stock is up 80 of the past two years. Of the four percent last year. It is up 84 over the past year. We are able to attract great people because people want to work on something that has impact all over the world. But let me ask you about carl icahn. Talks to trish a lot. I have been looking over his history and finding that when carl icahn makes a suggestion, managers typically act in defense of the company and of themselves and do not do what he says. Usually a few years later all of the suggestions he puts forth have been put into place. At time warner, you see the strategy that wouldve been better if they would have done it 10 years ago. Have you thought about working with him, rather than at odds with 10 . Were not working at odds with him. We have been looking at these alternatives for the past five years. Will enable is what us to compete in the market more successfully. T will and now paypal enable paypal to grow more successfully and be more successful. That is the criteria we use. We believe that has put the company together. Bloomberg west sat down with the former ceo of paypal. I would like your reaction to what he has to say. All of the Companies Really understand the benefits. I think there is a fundamental difference between a company that is trying to solve retail ebay ishandising, which really about. How do you get people to shop on your side and get the goods they are looking for in the payment system. Keep people in the paypal system. How do you prevent fraud . It is two very different types of products him even though they come together at the moment of service. Fuse really raking the case for it to be on its own. Is really making the case for it to be on its own. People do not want to pay, they want to shop. Payments are reducing friction. Paypal is about reducing friction. Being on top of a Commerce Platform allows them to build products on ebay. That has been the case with web payments. That is the case with credit. Now going to the emerging markets. Going together that allows paypal to get more traction. Eithero not view it as or. Apple getting into the mobile payment business with square. Matt talks about bitcoin. How do you compete against all of that . We are competing by delivering. Merchant Services Business growing at 31 per year. If you look at the paypal track record, it has been a strong track record area that is what we are continuing. The number one pay on mobile payments and over time we believe can take a bow into the physical world. Ebay, lets not forget about the Main Business am aware i do the majority of my business. Favorite websites, including everything. I have bought some really good art on ebay. I am not kidding. Thank you for joining us. Likes coming up, going to the movies. The president of wego systems and David Russell coming up on street smart. Both very tied to hollywood. We are coat closely following protests and the ukraine.

The emerging markets are rallying. People recommend buying emerging markets. It is a laidback tuesday. Laidback . It is probably because of the long weekend. Everything has recovered as far as the equity markets are concerned. It has been a steady recovery. We saw that chart. It was it there. Our way back. We are hoping to continue the momentum. There is the roundup. Is still here with us. Cristina alesci is joining us. We are very happy about today. We have a deal for you. A 25 lien dollar deal. I cannot tie you how excited that i cannot tell you how excited bankers are about this eo. Stocks rally today. It is unusual that we would see it waslers stock rally, also higher today. It looks like a winwinwin. It is a win for carl icahn. He made millions of dollars on the trade. He has been investing in the stock since 2009. Just to give you a little context about how much he bought for this company. When he first came in, it was not going anywhere. For 10 problems, one of which was management. Carl icahn push for a change in management. He put two of his people on the board. In talking to him about it, he said he had a number of dinners, here at my house, my apartment, really trying to work with management to get into this state that they are at today. This deal is risky. Investors love it, but i am scratching my head. Has had problems with expanded business printed business. It had a number one selling antidepressant product. They had to find other products to fill that gap. They have been successful, but it is not without risk. Almost every branded drug company has had to these that. Y all have blockbuster. Blockbuster drugs that are coming off production. To your point, we have seen a good amount of consolidation in big pharma. There are a lot of problems. They will not invest in research and design. They would rather go out and buy growth. Valuations are high. That is bad news for us. Its always Pharma Companies do not feeling investing in rmb research and development, when i was a kid, they came out with the first one was not zoloft, but was the first one . Prozac. It has been 20 years. Wow, you know your antidepressants. I am just saying. Lets talk about netflix. Time warner set top boxes. Discussions are on hold because Time Warner Cable is being acquired by comcast. They are a little bit on hold. If you have a deal with netflix on the set top box, they are forced to deal with other Cable Companies. You do not have to toggle back and forth. Platform, youmy have to go to cable and then you have to go back to netflix. The idea that netflix would almost be channeling your cable box. They have no motivation to negotiate this. Maybe netflix was the motivation for comcast to buy Time Warner Cable in the first place to put a stop to this deal. They want to make sure that the customer is area is as poor as possible. [laughter] they are the most hated people company. Now that they have a total monopoly in the cable business, they do not have to make any innovations for their customers. Customers are actually way more pleased and time warner customers. But they are not nearly as pleased as apple tv or netflix customers. He Movie Selection see you watch house of cards . The stream was interrupted constantly. That is a problem with your network at home. Talk to your husband or whoever deals with the Network Issues. How do you know that i do not deal with the Network Issues with jim mark you will not have to toggle back and forth. That is what they want. It is not going to happen. It did not seem like people were worried today. There you see it. If you think about netflix, there is no place for it. It does not own any content. Who have you been talking to . That is everything. You do not need time warner or comcast. If the Cable Companies do doing and they wind up deals with netflix, you will not cut the court. You will still keep your cable box. But you can watch netflix. They are making their own deals for content. There is no reason to have netflix anymore. Unless netflix beat them to the punch. But they have not. Russian police in ot. Sochi. You can watch lots of things and apple tv. The world is changing. Werean police in sochi pussyved with freeing riot. They were harshly detained by police as suspects. They have just been released. One member announced her dress via twitter. She posted a photograph that showed her inside a police vehicle. I cannot believe i am looking at such a low hemline on television. Is this from sochi where they were doing that . Im not sure what the pictures are, but what i find interesting is that these women, when they were released, did not care at all. They were not happy about being released. They are begging to go back in prison. It says something about the strength of their character. Look at this. They dont care at all. They were accused of that. Were they really trying to get arrested . A say they were in sochi to process. How do you do that . Finding autin is reason to get you out of the national spotlight. He will come up with a crime. He can put you in the gulags forever. It is facing some problems, not just on the sochi front, but on the ukrainian front. It is a little bit of a bigger issue. The way he sees it, maybe that is the way life goes. Thats it is not a good place to be if you do not agree. Lets talk about things back in the good old u. S. Of a. More americans are getting divorced. It rose for the Third Straight year. It had pledged during the but according to u. S. Census bureau data, people are forming new households. Demand fornew housing, a client is, furnishings, and there are more women entering the workforce. They are getting jobs that are terrible. Lets not get into the politics. Thatt is intriguing marriages and divorces get put on hold during a recession. Then when they start happening, if you get married or probably are in the market for a new house together, and people are divorced. When the economy is a that that is in a bad spot, two people may have one woman to running one person supporting the household. You have two people working, and you can say that you will go your separate ways. That there may be some Economic Activity in the short term. There are more jobs for womens in these situations. Women didnt have jobs before the divorce . Womenthat did not that did not have a job and are now entering the work or. Working,the man wasnt a stayathome dad, which is i want to be. That he might have to find a job and it might not be as good either. We will move away from the herbalife fourthquarter earnings. Welcome back. Intinue to cover the guess you could use the word ryan.
