Amazon defies gravity, Microsoft's biggest challenge, and one startup's quest to wipe out deforestation
About this episode
This week on the GeekWire Podcast: Amazon's latest results demonstrated its extraordinary flexibility and ability to overcome challenges in the broader economy using the built-in safeguards in its business, most notably the Amazon Web Services cash machine. Amazon spent an extra $4 billion to keep its business running smoothly despite a clogged economy.
Plus, Microsoft hires an Amazon veteran to take on "one of the greatest challenges of our time," and Seattle startup Cloud Paper raises $5 million in new funding for its environmentally friendly, tree-free toilet paper.
With Todd Bishop and John Cook; Edited by Curt Milton; theme music by Daniel L.K. Caldwell
