Impressed by the diversity of revenue streams for Microsoft. Wonder how a one trick pony like Google will be able to handle this should it run into pressure from competitors in future.

This was probably a tactic by Marissa to push Microsoft to modify the terms of the contract to be more favorable. Remember she was not the one who signed it.

I don't think it costs much extra. I have seen a decent touch screen laptop at around $500. Many lower than that. Find some here. http://www.edealpc.com/ Filter by touch screen.

There is nothing that singles Microsoft out here as every other operator of email and other software complied as well. This is something the US government should come clean on and something that the tech companies should push the government

Unfortunately this page will probably not even hit the most gullible folks who signed in their gmail and are using Google+ unknowingly. Hope there is a broader communication from Google to allow people to disable this. Can't imagine th

Either the Fox staff does not know how to use these or they were captured using it not exactly the way it was intended. From what I know these are not supposed to be used as tablets like the guys in the article are doing. These are huddle a

This would be great for me as a user. I am not a big fan of the android UX but they got the apps I want. So I can use Windows phone for day to day use and only when I want the app that windows doesn't have I can go to android. Of cours

Good that Nexus is stepping up its game. After Nokia hit it out of the park with its Lumia 1020 camera, using any other smartphone camera was sub par. Glad that we will have some competition. Of course its not just about focusing speed. Hop

scanning for spam does not have to extract the context. Scanning for serving ads probably does?

Have you tried OneNote. It kicks ass in doing bullet lists and todos. easy reordering, checkboxes and flags, pretty cool.

I doubt it would matter much to Microsoft if he leaves. It's not that he had a say in the day to day operations and even when it comes to long term strategy I think Steve needed him because Steve himself was not a technologist. If ano

the touch cover is not that great but the type cover is awesome for typing. Looks like the second version of it is backlit as well so it does make for a great dev PC

Actually if you are thinking of connecting your PC to your TV then Windows 7 is still the best bet. It's a well kept secret but a quiet PC connected to TV beats any other media solution out there hands down.

These are great. Not just the content but love how they are presented. I wish all the lectures in colleges were as rich an immersive as these.

Microsoft does have a big PR problem. The brand has lost its association with innovation, coolness, etc. That does not mean though the company itself is lacking in those attributes. From that perspective yes they do need a Mayer. Although i

That's the brand association though. Surface by itself is a well engineered product.

Actually I wonder why doesn't Microsoft do it for every one? No tracking, no ads just plain old good results. Google has been attacking Microsoft with its scorched earth strategy in many areas (google docs, chrome OS, etc.) And given t
