bestst is going to do describe her is to acquire time warner cable. customers to acquire time warner cable. disney already agreed to be part of the service last month and this has held talks with other networks. dish is trying to become the first company to sell a full package of streaming channels over the internet. e storage has had a foundation of $3 billion, triple what it was worth eight months ago. this new valuation comes as the company raised $225 million and is the fifth u.s. company to raise around above $200 million this year. the ceo says revenue grew 700% last year. he will be joining us later this hour. first, to the lead story, apple opened its books as it reports second-quarter earnings and for

the first time in a decade, revenue is projected to be flat according to data compiled by bloomberg. apple is facing a slowdown in the markets of mobile devices. another competitor announced plans to enter 10 more countries. it outsells apple in china. cory johnson is in new york today and also with us is paul kedrosky from san diego. you, what areith you expecting today? >> we are looking for in-line results for the march quarter. as far as guidance, we are looking for sequential decline and lackluster to know growth for apple. >> this would be the first to klein in revenue in 11 years. theore and more it has been case we are entering uncharted lacklustern terms of

performance. this has been something that has been the case a couple of years now. one of the things we would like to see his better innovation out of apple, better movement into new markets. amazon now did it in terms of over the top ip tv. if we would see more innovation, some new drivers, that would be something that could change this relatively neutral stance on the stock. was 30, apple's revenue times higher than it was 11 years ago. >> and on the heels of two devices, the iphone was one of the greatest successes in the history of technology to be followed by the ipad. it is hard to imagine a company doing that again. especially when we hear the stories about lack of innovation. we did not talk about this, he had this amazing comment about what he is hearing specifically from people who are leaving apple. listen to what he had to say.

>> i have heard from people at apple that engineers i have tried to recruit and are recruiting that is difficult to get a new project excepted. in the job zero, if jobs believed, you got the resources. you have to put together a spreadsheet that shows how much be business is going to worth. >> you can connect that statement with the revenue the first or fourth quarter was 70% two years ago and now we are looking at zero percent. quarter percent of last really shows who declined because of those new drivers he -- speaking about. >> our alarm bells going off for you? >> yes, they are. this has been a disappointing period. we talked a year ago about what was going to happen in 2013 in

terms of new product launches and nothing happened. this has been a black hole in terms of new launches. i do not think they are working on anything. they are repeatedly stepping up and decided to hold products back and say we are not going to do tv or a watch product. as a result, you have had this giant hole in terms of new product launches. you can't operate on those cycles because your competitors are introducing products faster. leave aside it keeps you out of new markets where you can have growth. i think it is a very nervous time for apple and for tim cook in particular. >> tim cook did promise new categories this year. has not happened yet. what are you expect in terms of new products? largere going to be a phone, a watch, something on tv? >> we talked about this. >> we are still talking about it.

>> that is one of the problems. we are going to see a larger phone and in i-watch. is it enough? moreed to see something transformative and innovative. something along the lines of what amazon is doing or even netflix. original content. all of these things that could be done with apple's tag and balance sheet. -- titanic balance sheet. >> it is not enough. with the watch product, it is a sustainingmple of innovation. it is over obvious. it is an extension of what you have been doing. into a marketplace that most of which does not care. the example over the top programming, television, where there are paying customers who hate everything. these are the places apple should be going. not into these minor tweaks. >> cory, talk about the

marketplace for us and put it into context what apple is up against. we were talking about the other company, they want to go global. they are outselling apple and china. they are not the only one. >> one aspect is apple is a victim of its own success by comparative numbers. the first quarter of the ipad is in $2 billion in revenue. apple was only doing about 15 billion in revenue. it had an impact from the bat. now the company is doing $60 billion in revenue last quarter. so to billion dollar might be lovely, but it is a drop in a bigger bucket. so then add to that the decision about what to do in the competitive environment when they are looking at companies with lower margins and smarter phones. is willing to take a loader is willing toomi take a lower margin.

they lose their ability to define what is going to happen next. be all over apple earnings after the bell today on the late edition of "bloomberg west." cory johnson, paul george ossie -- paul kedrosky, alex gauna, thanks so much. amazon strikes a deal with hbo to bring more exclusive content to prime subscribers. find out which shows are included and what it means for netflix when "bloomberg west" returns. ♪

what does google have an stake? an attack on android, i should say. >> google has had this huge proxy battle all over the world. it has been dealing with. and google wants to see android protected and stay safe. it dominates the world. it has beat back the iphone. obviously apple is not going to go down without a fight and so google wants to win every battle it can and this is an important one. >> what is the next phase of this? >> that is the big question. some say no matter what happens it is a pr battle. apple wants to show we are the good guys. i think no matter what happens, it is going to be even more interesting because we've got a billion dollars or so from samsung in the first trial. if they get close to what they are getting, that would be really interesting. we do not know yet. it is very early. this could be big. >> we will continue to follow it

"curb your into zs him" -- your enthusiam" are not a part of this announcement. -- one headline said it is good for everyone for netflix. are they sticking it to netflix and does this mean they consider netflix as competition? >> i think so. when we talk about the rivals of netflix you think about hbo. it is a reminder of what amazon's does this is. and the fact amazon is the supermarket of the world than the content side of it is a piece of the overall puzzle. for hbo that means they have

been a partner. hbo has been able to sell digital versions of a lot of his programming through amazon the same way it sells those episodes or those seasons through itunes and then on top of that they have announced hbogo will be available to this new tv box amazon has, fire tv. they have a relatively rich partnership and they have these connections to amazon that hbo would not be able to have to netflix. >> jon erlichman, thanks so much. ading up, is facebook's business growing as mark zuckerberg had planned? we will get a status update when "bloomberg west" returns. ♪

the instagram experience with expect to loading it with ads. they have walled off whatsapp. of facebook running ads on twitter, it is not exactly where they are going to run the ads. this is the box i would like to hear how he is going to get himself out of it. that is his explanation today. >> what about the bigger vision, buying whatsapp, oculus, internet.org? messenger and paper and doesn't messenger compete with whatsapp? >> as usual, paul is wrong. what he is talking about in terms of numbers, you might say they're not putting it ads into these new things and they don't know how they're going to monetize these acquisitions. the revenues they are getting has been increasing dramatically. $2.83 now. up to what you see is this amazing turn facebook has accomplished

over the last year. which is really creating this mobile business and creating a lot of value. is reallye accelerating. >> there is a reason for that. the reason is the scarcity problem. because they've got scarce go up so, the rates you get more revenue per active user, which you can only go so far down that path before advertisers balk. a trulyve not seen effective method of monetizing advertising when it is measured online. we know when it goes from billboards to magazines and televisions, places where it is not measured, when it goes online and is measured, the cbm's go way down. maybe facebook is figuring out ways around that where they are seeing them increase closer to google territory and maybe beyond. this layout when

we saw google earnings last week, the impact mobile is having. sarah, what are the most important things to pay attention to today? >> we have seen facebook or with mobile advertising effort from nothing at the time of its ipo into a majority of its business here the main thing investors are worried about is whether they can keep up this amazing growth. and so this will be a quarter that will determine, is that going to continue on facebook's man application and facebook excel for our these efforts to mannd outside facebook's application with whatsapp in the standalone apps, are those going to be the drivers of all of the growth in the future? >> you guys are focusing on the business today. what about the bigger picture that zuckerberg is working on, the drone companies, the idea of connecting people using satellites and hiring nasa? explain thatto

companies mostly in stock. any concern? >> acquiring cash is probably a very prudent thing to do with all of the discussion of valuations and tech bubbles. mark zuckerberg is using his stock to do a lot of these acquisitions. stock andlso a ton of he recognizes the value of his stock is such he can use that to do these acquisitions and he might need the cash later when rainy days will return. >> a standalone app strategy between paper and messenger, this has been billed as the future of facebook. how is it going? >> facebook looks at things in terms of 2-3 years than the five year range. is 10 years old now, this is something that is going to materialize the next 2-3 years. it is still in the early stages. paper i have not heard much about since it launched. messenger, they are forcing people to use it as a separate app.
