Despite hitting a record 10 million sales in the second quarter of 2015, Microsoft's phone division is in trouble. Behold: The monopoly in action!

That's stupid... put 1€ or 1$ more in each phone and change that loose to gain... nobody would notice that small difference when buying expensive devices like a phone.

Just declare it as a startup, Satya. That's only 12 cents from breaking even.

According to a new survey by application delivery company OutSystems, 43 percent of respondents rate apps or sites that are mobile friendly as critical to their plans in 2015. Apparently I'm out of focus

HAHAHA!
I wonder how much of the "mobile friendly sites" drive is more hype than reality. There's basically only a handful of sites that I go to on my phone or tablet -- google, wikipedia, news.

You're also not a teen or twentysomething with a fondleslab surgically embedded in your palm. It makes a difference you know. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Google and its Android mobile phone operating system are facing an antitrust investigation in Europe. But the roots of the probe stretch across the Atlantic and well into the past. But... it's open source. Nothing bad with that can happen, can it?

If you are working in a noisy, and full of distractions environment, it sure you need 24 hours to done some work - the same work can be done - probably better - in 2 or 3 hours in a normal way...
I can see why Microsoft pushes it forward - it's a sale opportunity. But if it is so real, wanted and good why Microsoft do not send home all their employee I wonder?
