So, here's the $64,000 question, uh, make that the $64 billion question. Why can't the combined R&D smarts, market clout, and overall technological resources of Microsoft-Intel-HP-Dell come up with a thin, sexy compelling tablet and/or media pad that will turn heads and convince the unbelievers (the average why-would-I-need-something-like-that consumer) that a tablet is a must-have product?
Answer: Because Apple will.
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."
They've been peddling sub-par, poorly made, products at inflated prices for far too long. How can the general public be so blind? You know, the definition of insanity is repeating the same action twice and expecting a different outcome. Everyone who buys an other iPod because the one they have doesn't work anymore is, by that definition, insane.
Apple doesn't make good products, they make cool products. That, in my mind, is really annoying. It's also baffling watching these billion dollar companies fall over themselves trying to figure out how to be as cool as Apple.
Here's my answer to them: Confidence. That is all they need. If they believe in their product they can sell it. The new Zune HD is one of those product MS could push in the faces of consumers and consumers would love. iPods are played out; everyone has one. If these other companies show how different their products are, their products will become cool. Simple confident ads are all you need.
They are not very competitive when it comes to price...I will take the problems of a pc vs a Mac because of the price
I don't know any other artist that uses something other than an intuos or cintiq.
You know why no one cares about tablets anymore...Netbooks. About the same size or slightly bigger and they will do more, what will a tablet do that a smartphone or netbook cant?
