in this area of the amazon diversity is high. e sitting in a place that is the most biodiverse in the area. and this area hasn't received the attention needed to adequately survey the extent of spider diversity. >> on our last day in the amazon our investigative persistence paid off. this was indeed an egg sack. the pole-like structure. this is a radical departure of what we know about spider reproductive cycle. one of the many discoveries of the secrets hidden in the jungle. i think spider experts are going to be very skeptical about what we found. we did as well as we could to really isolate these things. it's going to be a great one to follow up on. >> how long did it take to you find the region where these structures were discovered? >> you know to get to that island it takes four flights a bus ride and two canoe rides. >> wow! >> it was quite a journey getting out there, part of the fun but when we got out there we couldn't believe we found one let alone 45 of these things. we had very little to go on, we just knew there were

a big moneymaker for amazon but it flies under the radar? just a big moneymaker, it's a high margin of business for them. back and try step to define what business amazon is in, it's not just a retailer or a device company. it's not just a company that provides entertainment. amazon is in the business of captioning shares of the consumers. everything it does allows it to go get more and more money from your wallet whether it is gross fees, pantry service, amazon fresh. the new fire tv or kindle devices -- everything is trying to capture a larger share of the wallet. >> a lot of the pieces would go to taxes. but not necessarily when it goes to amazon.com. taxes you have looked at and amazon's business. what have you found ech? >> a state that transitions to forcing everyone to collect taxes forces a decline in amazon sales. they all show the decline of about 10%. >> jon erlichman, does it seem as though amazon has not been playing fair? to have au have physical location to collect sales tax but governments are not happy about this. some have s

why we want to do that and bring the amazons of the world down to the level of other big bucks retailers that have gone out of business, we want to turn amazon into woolworth and penney's and sears and all those other dead retailers when we have this great growth we should be investing in. >> is it really fair? does this give a competitive edge to amazon over the brick and mortar retailers? >> i was the biggest fan of the grilled cheese at woolworth's when i was a kid. >> you're dating yourself. >> so fun. >> it was the best ever. but that's not why woolworth's went out of business. look, people are shopping online, bottom line, and, unfortunately, it's completely unfair. i don't want taxes at all. so either get rid of sales tax all around, brick and mortar and internet, which we all know that's not happening any time soon, or you level the playing field. it is just not fair. or you're going to put every brick and mortar business out of business. >> okay. jonas, weigh in here. >> it's a tax we are supposed to pay anyway in many cases. just because we're not paying it, it is not collected

of the hardware makers have been made that deal. it looks like amazon is trying to make some moves to get in there with hardware for the benefit of their software. >> amazon greenlighted six new series for their video-on-demand service. for more on what this content push means, i want to bring in someone who knows what it takes to create original content for online platforms. ofning us now is the ceo guru. jon erlichman also joins us. what are you expecting amazon to announce tomorrow? is there going to be hardware? or streaming component? >> there has been talk about hardware. in the lead up to that event, they have had a couple of content announcements. you highlighted the word about their original series in which ones will continue on. one example being a show that stars of john goodman. today, they made this announcement tighten licensing content. people who use it will be able to watch past seasons of 24 and fox is bringing back another version of 24. you can stream that on amazon later. at least on the video content strategy side, there are three

they have raised the price of amazon prime. the flat fee you pay every year to ensure that you get these items. >> that compels people like me to order one pen and have it delivered to me and i will not put other stuff in there. i get delivery for free. >> i just bought one pen for my friend. >> everybody does it. how does amazon scale this in an economical way? how will they turn a profit? >> the thing is, if you look at amazon in segments, they are retailer. they are shipping company. they are a software provider. they are in the cloud. we are in the music and video business. they look at their lines of business is independently. they almost can't afford not to invest as much as they are. much more than every other retailer. >> it is interesting, with amazon fire, now they have got a partnership with hbo, which is the story. hbo has its content locked down. you look at netflix. this is their sole business. video and streaming and creating original content. for amazon it is, not just a hobby, it is not a hugely important part o

amazon unveiling the kindle, the amazon fire tv, excuse me. lot of people were expecting a dongle. it is a very thin box. three times faster than the roku and apple tv box. it has dual band and th dual wii for faster downloading speeds, so again this is a set-top box. we may be able to show you an image of it. some other information, two gigs of ram on this, has wi-fi built in. there is a remote that was the remote problem a lot of the roku and apple tv have. very interesting obviously amazon trying to take advantage of what is expected to be 10 million prime subscribers plus they wants to compete with apple tv. this particular device, the fire tv is a bit smaller than the apple tv and looking at roku, roku revealed the streaming stick and this is a divergent, a different step from that. interesting developments. the device will be available right away. no word on the pricing right now but we will be sure to bring you that later on. stuart: interesting stuff indeed. amazon within a pretty good job getting the buzz going with a big event in new

larry, why hasn't amazon been able to make the hits that netflix has with "house of cards?" >> i think amazon has come out incredibly strong with their first wave of shows. netflix has been in the video streaming business for several years. amazon has just really jump into it so i think we are going to see some of the shows really start to pop. it is a strong first showing. >> wt do we know about what the effect have been on the cost or the value of the kinds of shows you are making? we see netflix say there is rising content cost because of the competition. >> we are seeing netflix and amazon spending not what traditionally we see digital company spend, but what cable companies are spending. they are spending premium cable dollars for their programming. that is one of the reasons why the quality is so high. as a result, another set of competitors on the buyer side and that could drive content costs up. >> jon, what is the hardware side of the business? if amazon does come out with a set top box, they will be competing with apple tv, with google's chromecast. talk about the c

one of the things that amazon is very good at right now. t only will it be the original programming but they understand massive scale and massive distribution. this is a tremendously large industry. it is $450 billion a year. amazon understands this being very well. they are investing heavy amounts of marketing dollars as we are discussing into this. the most valuable real estate online, amazon.com's homepage is pushing this product aggressively. they will start to capture a large portion of this market, about 10% of the 320 billion dollar a year pay tv market. this is a game that they understand very well. >> there is a 10% of a $300 billion pay-tv market. >> that is 30 billion. >> our friend is stretching the truth. it is an over-the-top market. they will go and compete head-on with the set top boxes which is already saturated. >> who should be concerned, netflix? >> they are putting netflix on the box. they can watch the viewing habits of the different consumers. that augments all of the data that it is already collecting which allows the

first, check out the top tech headlines. shares of amazon are down about nine percent, hitting a six-month low. the selloff comes after expenses rose 23% in the first quarter, limiting amazons profit. the ceo is pouring cash into the business for shipping and services, including media content, a new prime entry business, and cloud business. microsoft takeover of nokia handset is official. the deal was completed today, seven months after the $7.5 billion purchase was announced. may beal price slightly higher. thousands of employees are transferring to microsoft as part of the deal. heavy spending has investors questioning pandora despite a 169% gain in first-quarter revenue. shares in the online music service are falling about 13%, the most since 2012 him after the company said it would spend aggressively this year to improve its service and fend off competitors like spotify, itunes radio, and others. lead story of the day, elon musk, founder of spacex and tesla has called a mysterious press conference. we're waiting for him to speak at the n

>> i don't think he's looking at the complete picture. it's more -- amazon doesn't want to be left behind in any category. need a stake in the ground everywhere. >> sacrifice profitability. >> seeing the amazon prime he is raising prices so not immune to taking price but you're right, he doesn't care. this is a commodity business right now and will be commodity business until somebody comes by with some new technology. for me, it's sort of like it's a nuisance that we have to pay attention to it today because it doesn't move the needle. the stock is down 100 bucs off the highs about 440. so we got to see if it picks back up. i like the stock. i'm always kept away by val valuati valuation. >>> coming up next, look at gm's ceo mary barra. she's back on capitol hill today. there's a look at gm shares getting a lift by about 1%. so the real question is, can she repair the automaker's reputation or is it just too much damage thus far? we have a top analyst who just made a big call on that stock today weigh in on where it goes from here and the debate over high fr

and of course we are watching amazon earnings coming "after the bell". investors are looking for -- here is what they are looking for. to see whether amazon prime's membership fee increase which was announced last month has had any impact, have they lost any people from amazon prime? they don't like the new higher price but they are also people looking at the number of units, the amount of stuff amazon has sold locally. 20% year over year globally, that will please investors according to some analysts. the head of earnings moving higher by $10.81. superstar tech analyst jean meserve piper jaffray will join me before the earnings come out. you can trade on the stock, he will tell you what to look for and what to expect. we will listen to what gene has to say. general motors, people always asking is the worst over for general motors? reported results that beat earnings per share expectations despite a sharp decline in first quarter profit many analysts seem to agree that gm has overcome the worst of the recall crisis that affected this quarter's earnings be

amazon only gives you strong sales. plus, many of thehareholders who piled into amazon were never comfortable with owning the shares anyway. they just wanted to be able to beat the averages. it was a way to beat the averages. they were hidden in the army and now they've gone awol simply because the stocks stopped going up. if it stopped going higher, what's the point of sticking with it? that's what they do. obviously there's none, judging by the action. here's what's important. amazon itself did nothing wrong. in fact, it did exactly what it has always done when it reported on friday. the company blew the doors off the sales number. don't let anyone tell you otherwise. they didn't listen to the call if they didn't. and it's been heavy to grow out its business especially in china. i think they thought that's what would send the stock higher. but it was the hedge funds and their analyst friends that jolted amazon, not the other way around. i'm begging you to understand this concept because you may own shares in a company that got hammered

on the amazon earnings call. what's the latest? >> we have been listening to the call. e completely fair it's what you would expect from an amazon call. not giving us a lot of detail. that being said, we don't have jeff on the call. we have cfo, tom skutak and he's acknowledging they're continuing to add more customers and that's the reason they have seen acceleration in growth. we have seen the price increase at 25%. that rolled out last month. so still in early stages there when he was asked about that. basically said this is still early and prime subscribers have continued to grow week over week but not giving us any more color other than that. i think the most interesting headlines tying back to in the earnings report. they said streaming for video actually tripled. also saying they're working hard to keep fire tv in stock and that hbo-go is going to be rolling out by the end of the year. reiterating that. we are going to keep listening to the call. if we have more, we will bring it to you. back to you melissa. >> thanks so much on amazon. if it is truly falling out

what about the grocery service? amazon prime pantry. o consumables and catering to the grocery shirt -- trip. fresh. seen amazon it is very difficult to send through the mail. difficult to send the post, being big bulky porches is -- purchases. i have tried to reinvent the economics behind that. they charge a little bit of money for that, six dollars on top of the prime membership. >> are supermarkets clicking on their boots? >> i would say longer-term it is something you cannot ignore. this is not amazon testing something and it going away. it is a long-term dismantling to move into groceries. consumable share is relatively small right now. but that is only going to increase. >> they are going to compete with the supermarkets, the likes of apple and google's android. we have heard they are developing a smartphone. >> it would not surprise me if amazon succeeds in that space. they have done a very good job, they have a good track record with the kindle fire. it seems like it is going very well. in the last quarter. they have been very qu

the markets. it is a natural transition. >> it might not be that big a deal for amazon. is is one more piece in the inventory of stuff that they can sell you. this is with the original content and what they are buying. i think they're doing a fantastic job. will,re in a connected to with the best original programming. >> i just want to ask about this idea of the original programming. at least it used to be expensive. it is one thing for people to buy a boxx. you've got to keep feeding them new stuff. >> i think so. amazon is things that very good at right now. not only will it be the original programming but they understand massive scale and massive distribution. this is a tremendously large industry. it is $450 billion a year. being understands this very well. they are investing heavy amounts of marketing dollars as we are discussing into this. the most valuable real estate homepage ison.com's pushing this product aggressively. they will start to capture a large portion of this market, about 10% of the 320 billion dollar a year pay tv market. this is a game that they und

is the market changing its ya attitude to amazon? >> i think the market has done two things. ards growth momentum stocks and a lot of internet stocks fall into that basket and changed towards amazon that amazon is increasingly pushing out profitability, the market wants profitability sooner not getting it from amazon, getting the revenue it wants but not the profitability hence the sell off in the stock. >> some places jeff bezos should not be, for example, china. international has got a lot, $60 million, well behind his chinese peers alibaba but they continue to invest. a point you say that's not profitable territory? >> china may well be the riskiest in vestment the compan is taking. amazon's market share in that market is probably low single digit percent and well entrenched competitors. most of the other bets however that amazon is making and has made i think will pay off well or have paid off well. at the top of the list has to be cloud computing. you know, you just talked about that with the prior company microsoft. amazon's whipping in this category and got the lowest c

the price tag is $13.4 billion. >> time now for the big story. amazon prime focus -- set to report in about one hour. shares have not been doing so well since the last report. down almost 15%. recently, amazon and hbo signed a deal bringing hbo programming to prime members. it marks the first time hbo licensed its content to and online only subscription service. they seem to have one goal -- growth. it has launched its fire tv set top box, increased the price of prime and is reportedly working on a streaming and music service. here's everything you need to know. good to have both of you here. will behe one thing you looking for more than anything else? >> i was looking margins. i like to see were just a those can spend his money and where he can invest. the film and centers, or is it new products? the operating margin is very important will stop the stock generally works well despite that will stop at the top growth story and investors have given this company and its management team a pass quarter after quarter but the question is always on investors mi

the tv. it's also about amazon prime. o weeks out from the date when current prime subscribers are going to start seeing that $20 per year price increase on prime. what they announce in there i'm sure they hope will entice current prime subscribers to continue subscribing after that $20 increase. a number of analysts on the street say they think the subscriber base is going to swallow that pretty well because prime has been a pretty good value for them. we look, the estimates are that about amazon has about $25 million prime subscribers adding about $5 million a year. though, amazon has not given a specific number on that. contrast that with around $44 million netflix subscribers. amazon prime subscribers subscribing for all kinds of reasons particularly to get two-day shipping, whereas netflix they're really subscribing to get that content. the prime value here for amazon is that when you're a subscriber you buy more physical goods and also you buy more media, so this is an ecosystem play where google, apple, amazon and e
