Supercomputing expert Dan Reed is to lead Microsoft's efforts in multicore technology and next-generation data centers. "I watched Mosaic come up out of the ground and I watched my students go off to start-ups, and I promised myself that if the surf was up again that I was going to grab my board and get in the water," Reed told Network World Senior Editor John Fontana, during a chat about Reed's move from academia and what he says could be a coming revolution that rivals the development of the Web.
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."
Very cool. Technology is an amazing thing how it grows and expands, and he is right when it comes to clock sizes etc. not really going to grow anymore. I am really curious to see what kind of performance is reached within the next few years.
The cell is the future NOW!!! ......and Dan Reed's picture is classic NERD MODE LOL
@DG
You my friend are a TARD...."The cell would be the future NOW if anyone knew how to use it properly" Which is basically admitting that it is superior technology, and power, and the only problem is grasping it....which all developers seem to be getting a hang of pretty quickly......YOU FAIL IN LIFE
lynx1halo your an idiot. The cell would be the future NOW if anyone knew how to use it properly. If Sony invested in some kind of research like this in the Cell from the get go it would be blowing the roof off the competition right now but its not.
Im glad to see MS is taking this aproach and investing in the research. Although this will have more benefits outside of gaming it will help push consoles in general to the max as well as prepare for the 8 core (hopefully)plus future consoles to be amazing out the gate. I doubt this will have any effect before late 2009 - 20010. Which is a shame.
Owns multicore-computing.
