>> oh, yeah. it's even beyond that. there was a deal that was done where google made a purchase of a company that keeps travel database information, and many of the competitors use this same database for their information of flights. so they were even blocked at some point. the justice department had to look at this and said, is this okay, or would this give gook elle a competitive advantage? ultimately they let google buy the database. yeah, this is a direct shot at travelocity, kayak and others. >> mario, tell me how it it compares, though. does it do pretty much the same thing others do, or are you getting advantages or maybe disadvantages with the new google one? >> good point. first off, the advantages are little bit simpler interface. i really like how easy and clean it is to use. you can see it there, very simple to use. you can type in an easy search, say, i want to fly from philadelphia to atlanta, or i want to fly from l.a. to new york. then it will pull up all the different flights that match that search criteria. but a limitation is right know, only can you get economy flights, nothing international, no first class or business class or anything like that. over time, that will change, but i still think kayak is probably still my favorite site to use at this point. >> but still the fear and the competition is not even maybe that it works so well but just that the name "google" is attached. people think search, they think i'm going to google. what if people start thinking, search for travel and think google? >> yeah. this is also going to be a problem for other big dogs, not even the start-ups. you have a lot of start-up companies, small sites doing great things for travel to find you great deals on great locations. even microsoft have their bing search engine and they have travel deals on their site as well. so you're right, i think the word "google" -- some people are worried because they think, how much can we just do through one search engine? how much do we want that search engine to know about us? others say, anything that can help me find a cheaper flight, i'm for it. >> i had another travel question, but i'm going to take these last moments to do something for our viewer onz a personal note. it was two years ago that i first met mario in tampa, florida. we served on a panel together. i first met him, never laid eyes on him before, i immediately called my executive producer and said, get down here, i love this guy, we've got to use him on the air. we've been using mario for the past two years as our digital, our tech guy. and i'm proud to say, our viewers know, he has now been named the tech contributor -- the digital and tech kricontrib the nbc's "today" show. congratulations. >> t.j., thanks so much, man. i know you don't have to do this on air, but it's people like you and tanesha that give others a chance. i just can't thank you from the bottom of my heart enough, and i feel the onus on me to make sure i open up doors for others. >> as long as you keep doing that. it's amazing to see and people recognize what we recognized in you. so congratulations. we'll still see him here on cnn. >> that's right. not going anywhere. >> congratulations. >> stay where the foundation was laid. >> appreciate that. again, folks, join us every saturday this time. he's still our digital lifestyle expert, mario armstrong giving us the scoop on the latest technology. thanks so much and congr congratulatio congratulations. 25 minutes past the hour now. the political clout is growing. their numbers growing as well. we're talking about the latino vote and the key role they could play in next year's elections. breaking this down for you in just a couple of minutes. also, turn your head to the screen for a moment. you are seeing this correctly. that is a picture of a 2-year-old child smoking. we've just learned he's just one of thousands of children in one particular country, indonesia, lighting up. why?
