Appleshe lead new mobile Payment System has run into a roadblock just one week after its launch. Have disabledid apple pay. Its part of a larger group of retailers helping a competing mobile Payment System, and its known as the Merchant Customer Exchange. It includes best buy and walmart. What does it all mean for apple . Joining us on the phone is a Senior Analyst from hyper jaffrey and joining us in the studio is cory johnson. These retailers were never official partners but did have the technology. How big a deal is this . I dont think it is a big deal at all. They were not announced customers and the merchant has to murder exchange is a dream of merchants to be able to somehow get Credit Card Companies out of the transaction. Its going to be a very tough road and target has signed up with apple pay and that is one in themerchants listed consortium. So youve got a major defect. I would not the surprised if over time you start seeing players like cvs drift back to apple pay. The retailers would not have to pay swipe fees or collect a lot of data. Tell us about the vision behind the system. This is why gene munster is wrong once again. What has happened is these retailers want to use Customer Data to target customers better. Information collect , slice and dice it and market it. It takes the ability away. They want to have some kind of relationship. Apple keeps the customer Information Private and doesnt share it with the retailer. The Merchant Customer Exchange that best buy, cvs, walmart and giant retailers have signed up for and yet to launch lets them collect Customer Data. These are at opposite ends of the spectrum. Want to know everything about their customers and apple pay goes against it. Whether they win or lose, i dont think its the last major what if i dont want to get my information to retailers question mark thats one of the things, especially if they go to bat. The musicto win over Companies One by one when they launched itunes and they could be setting up for this kind of battle with retailers. In a surprising uptake from the banks on the backend but the majorers, how many retailers said they would sign up with apple pay . Can the retailers use both . Can they enable apple pay but also use other kinds of technology . I think they can and they will. Right now there is Google Wallet. You could see a broad collection. The one that wins is the one that is easiest for the customer. One of the motivations is for the customer to use and easy to get up and running. I would like to distinguish between something being easy to use and something being innovative and moving it forward. Mark andreessen told me that apple pay gets plugged into the existing system but it is not that innovative. How would you respond to that . Its true the infrastructure ,as in there and Google Wallet the simplicity of integration and a fingerprint reader and touch id is something that is unique. The awareness piece is the important part, so i would agree the technology is not what is different. Whats making the difference is consumers are aware of it. Would you Say Something that elevates Credit Card Companies is more innovative question mark merchants are paying 2 to the Credit Card Companies will stop they dont like giving up 200 basis points. Big retailers are often looking at between 4 and 10 . Systems locking that then and i think andreessens point of view is the coin would allow people to not give up anything. Change things on a fundamental level. Doing it in a way that bitcoin that we arestanding just going to go straight to the bank we are going to go apple pay to the Credit Card Company, 2 to the Credit Card Company, let us piggyback on your existing infrastructure. It would not completely change the business to the benefit of the retailer, just make things a little easier. Consumers dont seem to care about that 2 . Innovation in payments happens so slowly. Because it works. Think about what the next step would be. In this country, theyve gotten very used to just submitting the creek card and using the systems in place despite the issues around fraud and despite retailers are making less and consumers are paying higher prices as a result. Youve got Payment Systems where the credit card has been limited by law and may be limited further. In this country, they use them like crazy because theres no limit to what they can charge.

You recently interviewed him for a big story on business week. Whats he like . Hes great to talk to. Hes incredibly modest and has a deep knowledge of all of googles business. Business,veryones even when hes not responsible for and hes just endearing. Even nice guy with a perpetual smile and very likable. I talked to him twice. I talked to him before this debut of the new version of android. Had someone with him who was responsible for android and chrome will stop clearly the android and chrome divisions are well tended to and thats how hes able to scale himself. Is it more symbolic or is it real . He can now be the chief innovator. When Tech Companies get to 20 years old, they might naturally split up. Google is 16 years old and the disruptor has been disruptor has been disrupted by mobile. Will go and think about how to keep up with these businesses. That he is an anecdote would sit outside of Marissa Mayers office waiting to argue on behalf of his team. Hes proven himself to be a tenacious negotiator. Going toe to toe with samsung to make sure samsung was playing nicely. Does it break the agreements . I think he has proven himself to be a good diplomat as well. Maybe laying down the law but sewing showing them some why it is a win win relationship. Hes very modest and says this is larrys job. Is clearly the number one that the. I dont know if there would be any question if larry retired tomorrow that its not a role he would want. And youtube does not count in this. Google has always had this second layer but do you see a rising secondgeneration of leaders . That Leadership Team is all veterans. Most of them have been there since the beginning. It is a Leadership Team that is incredibly loyal to the company and i dont see them going anywhere anytime soon. Lets talk about his track record and how successful those products have been. And has been successful.

He is hard to dislike will stop we will be following as he embarks on this new phase. Thank you so much. It taking sowhy is long to find a cure for ebola and how long has the tech for experimental drugs that around . That story is next. Im emily chang, and this is streaming onst your phone, tablet, apple tv and amazon fire tv. Team treating Craig Spencer for ebola is considering any and all experimental drugs that could for, but the Technology Antibody cocktails has been around for a few decades. Thats according to a professor of microbiology at tulane university. Why has it taken so long to get an ebola vaccine and why are there so few doses on hand . For more him i want to bring in the author of the naked future. Is it true this capability has been around for decades and only now we are trying to take advantage of it . The ability to very quickly produce lots of experimental drugs is something that has been an ongoing area of research, particularly in military research for a long time. The methodology is not too difficult. Its costing the delays is the cost of human trials. Typically it will increase the cost of producing a drug by as much as 90 . Some of them are obtaining records for the different people youre going to include in the trial. Theres a lot of observational cost and it can take as much as 5 billion to run an experimental drug through Clinical Trials. Zmapp was developed with military money, not 10 million just to put the things together put this drug together that has been effective in monkey trials and was effective in the first two american ebola victims. Theres a difference between saying they recovered because of zmapp and say that they recovered and were given zmapp. Thats why we need the Clinical Trials and thats why we need to incur the delays and costs. Why were these trials not conducted before now . Did they just not inc. It was this big the threat . Saide head of the nih has we would have a treatment and a vaccine, if not for cuts to research and development funding. Differentown about Therapeutic Options and have 2001working at nih since but because of cuts to our funding, we were not able to get any of them in place for these largescale trials. There were not a ton of commercial entities interested ebolatnering to create an vaccine that wasnt seen as a moneymaker, so that gives it that leaves it up to government to push this stuff through and i would say it did not become a priority and its not something they could justify spending limited resource ahlers on developing and a bowl of vaccine or a cure when they already had some that were in place but the entire effort stalled out because of funding cuts. Fundingother technologies are out there that are optimistic and you look good in terms of being a cure or in terms of becoming a vaccine . There are a couple of different vaccines they are looking at right now. The hope is they will have something available by january. January is when the who has protected addicted the outbreak could reach a worse Case Scenario threshold, like 1. 5 million cases. Those two things happening at the same time suggested a huge amount of urgency. It looks like zmapp has been effective in monkey trials and they are looking to ramp up production as quickly as possible and thats why map pharmaceuticals has received 30 excuse me come a 45 Million Dollars to help increase production as quickly as possible. In many ways, we think we have the components in place to treat and cure this and now it is scaling up to meet demand, which could be huge. Howand i have talked about technology can help. How are these things actually helping . Lets take screening. We were talking about a particular Screening Technology that was in place in texas presbyterian but wasnt being used and had been cleared to screen for ebola. Just this weekend, the fda announced they were going to allow emergency use authorization to screen for ebola in hospitals across the country, including in the tristate area where there are quarantines. And its going to give you a readout in about one hour. That suggests things will get more firm and understandable from here on out.

How much of a demand is therefore streaming content . A long answer to that question. But with the growing middle class in china, the theatrical business is booming and expanding. My guess is within the next 35 notice ana will, i do crackdown, but there will be a viable streaming market. Is in ay alibaba position to take it vantage of that. Wanthinese middle Class International movies, they want to say big see big hollywood productions, they will have the capacity to Stream International shows, film, content, as we do here. The Chinese Government has also cracked down on streaming. They pulled the big bang theory, which was getting 120 million viewers, streams per month. What kind of challenges will alibaba run into here with its own government . Censorship across all platforms, you are going to have boards.

Online video is a hot growth ofa, and the chinese version youtube has been reaching out to u. S. Entertainment companies for help. What kind of progress to receive their could we see there .
