Microsoft Corp (MSFT)
He might not be the richest guy in the world anymore, but Microsoft's uber-geek Bill Gates brought technological ease into a majority of American homes with Windows operating systems. Microsoft develops and supports software and hardware that include operating systems, a wide range of application systems, and all sorts of electronic goodies. Microsoft doesn't forget the fun, too - the company sells the Xbox 360 video game console and the Zune digital music player.
Coming soon, Kinect (MSFT) would allow for gesture recognition in portable devices for the first time. Also, 3-D gesture control on a laptop could offer more interactive, Kinect-style PC gaming as well. Xbox Kinect console itself is already in 18 million households the world over. Windows 8 (MSFT) is set to debut in beta in February. We should start seeing finished Windows 8 products (notebooks and tablets) arriving toward the middle and end of this year.
this is a pretty good company...i gained money with microsoft the first day
its a good company, especially that christmas is near , microsoft will have alot of sales
Seems like a good company to invest in just because people who buy a laptop/desktop would need Microsoft. With Christmas here more people are buying it which is going to make it keep going up.
Really? Say what? Rapper MC Hammer launches a new ... search engine. The venerable rapper, who helped usher hip-hop into the pop mainstream in the early '90s, has rolled out a search engine he hopes will outperform Google (GOOG), Bing (MSFT) and other established tools. The rapper-turned-entrepreneur (after some late-90s difficulties) said a search would render not just direct results, but also information on possibly related topics. Its tagline is: "Search once and see what's related." Called WireDoo, the search engine will give search results, plus results for possibly related topics, Hammer says. Other details about the product were scarce. WireDoo, which Hammer said he has a team developing, is still in pre-beta. Its website is currently letting people sign up to test the search engine when a beta release is ready. What do you think? Will you check out WireDoo?
i might use wiredoo its wouldnt hurt if i had another search engine there ;) you could look at people like me- 23 days ago
just checked wiredoo out, it is not currently running. I love microsoft and I use google's searchengine, however, if WIREDOO actually takes off I'll consider using it. Maybe (you never know for sure till you try)- about 1 month ago
People will always need the use of computers therefore there will always be a stable gain.
