Last week Steve Jobs took the stage at the Apple Town hall meeting and announced two major things for the iPhone: 1) support for Microsoft Exchange and 2) the iPhone SDK. The Exchange support was a relatively unexpected move, but in retrospect it makes perfect sense. In order to unseat Blackberry as the number one wireless player in the US, Apple needed to have an enterprise story. What's more, Apple has realized that the days when people carried two phones are over.
With support for the enterprise (one device for both home and business use), together with its utility as a music player, camera, and web browser, the iphone is well positioned now to be that 'one phone'.
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
Spiders: "We're going to cut straight to the chase so you're not left wondering: After a long period without clear answers, we have received confirmation that Spiders is being liquidated.
What does it mean? This means the company as a whole no longer exists. We'll cease our functions immediately. The planned DLC will release via Nacon, and then-- well, that's it.
We're sorry that it's come to this and would like to thank each and every one of you for your support over the years.
If you have any questions or run into issues with your games, please contact Nacon directly as we'll no longer be able to reply."
I somehow belive this. They are already dominating the casual handheld market with their iphone, ipod and itouch. Mac have recently been gaming as well.
And with Microsoft, focused on their Xbox 360 and wining the console war, they have pushed all their resource on the 360. Every now and then, they toss the PC section some good game.
I AGREE!!!

There are more Vista machines in the world than their are OSX, *BSD and GNU/Linux combined.
The iphone is a mild success, Smarthphones from Blackberry, Windows Mobile, Nokia and *all* take larger shares.
Readwriteweb is trolling for traffic. This story is ridiculous on every level. Apple has about 3% of the PC market.
That != "dominate"
hurray,
we'll all become hip elitist di**head with turtlenecks...
i call utter bs on this one, apple is hip because its the cool-underdog with -nice-features-and-zomg-itunes -and-it's freaking-white-wow111, if they become mainstream you'll see how quickly another brand will be the new thing to have if you're the-cool-kid-on-the-block...
utter BS again...
is there even a next gen when it comes to computers?
