A lot of the products brand marketers are selling are bought in store and so showing that online and mobile ads lead to in store purchases is hugely important part of our strategy going forward as I talked about and video is really exciting, as well. When we think about holiday season Q4 is really important time for our clients and that makes it really important time for us and I think people are increasingly recognizing that mobile is important. 65% of people use their phones while they are out shopping and people are recognizing that opportunity. From an earnings prospective last Q4 was great quarter both because our businesses was growing but also because that was when we rolled out ads fully into news feed and so it’s worth keeping that in mind when you think about and how you think about our business going forward.

The next question comes from Ben Schachner with McCorry. Your line is open.
Ben Schachner, McCorry
A few questions. David there was no mention of 2015 revenue range but can you give us any thoughts of how much margin should compress in ’15 versus ’14? Then a couple for Mark. Mark now you spend more time with the Oculus team can you update us on how you plan for how Oculus have evolved since you first tried the device on? And then you our 10 mentioned it when you talked about year outlook. Is that mean we shouldn’t expect any consumer Oculus products in the next one or two years? And then similarly on Search you mentioned that in your 5-year plan. So does that mean we shouldn’t expect anything on the Search for the next five year?
Thanks!

Hey, Ben! It is Dave. We are not really giving any guidance on 2015 revenue. We gave the gross range that we are expecting on Q4 which was 40% to 47% and that is down fro 59% in Q3 but we are not providing any specific guidance on 2015. Revenue sort of outlined the extends currents that we expect because of the substantial investment that we are making also drive of some of the acquisitions that we’ve made. So, I hope that is helpful for everybody.

Schachner, on your questions about Oculus and Search, and some of the other things that we are doing. The strategy for Oculus is to help accelerating their growth. There are two products around rift on PC and their supporting IQRV and the Sampson team and building the mobile version and I am really excited about both of them. I don’t think this is going to be. It needs to reach very high scale – 50 to 100 million units before it really be a very meaningful thing as a computing platform. So, I give it is going to take a bunch of years before we get there. It is hard to predict exactly but I don’t think it is going to get to 50 or 100 million units in the next few years. That will take a few cycles of the device to get there and that is kind of what I am talking about. When you get to that scale that is when it starts to be interesting as a business in terms of developing out eco system. So, when I am talking about that is a 10-year thing, it’s building the first set of devices then building the audience and the eco system around that until it eventually becomes a business.
