      Microsoft beat expectations with strong Windows revenue, but Xbox had a rough quarter

      Surface didn't post good numbers, but that could change in the next quarter.
      Microsoft beat analyst expectations in its quarterly earnings report, achieving $33.06 billion in revenue in the start of its first 2020 fiscal quarter (which ended September 30) compared to a projected $32.23 billion. That's a 14% increase over the same quarter the prior year. Much of the growth still came from Azure, the company's ever-expanding cloud-services platform, which saw 59% revenue growth. However, that's down just a little from the previous quarter, which saw 64% growth. Azure and other cloud services saw $10.85 billion in revenue.That's not what disappointed analysts and investors. Most expected a similar figure as Azure's growth slows down quarter by quarter and it achieves greater market saturation. (Amazon's more popular AWS has seen slowing growth lately, too).

        @mlnews Im' not surprised. Xbox doesn't sound like a current product any longer. It's lost mind share in my limited view. It seems like something that quietly faded away. I forget that it's still a thing. Two years ago, that was not the case.

          oh? so what still has mindspace for you? PS4?

          MS is starting the move away from the console - like everything else - they are about to release an online streaming gaming solution, no xBox required.

            PS4, Switch, phones, PC....

            They all seem to get more discussion now.

                4K projector turns any wall into theater-quality screen from inches away

                Vava's 4K projector offers ultra short throw distance and Harman-Kardon speakers.
                This is Vava, a 4K definition Ultra Short Throw (UST) home theater projector retailing for $2,700. For those of you not familiar with the term, UST refers to "throw distance"—the amount of space you need between a projector and screen in order to get the desired image size. This projector also features a built-in Harman-Kardon speaker, motion sensors to keep you from blinding yourself by staring into the laser, and plenty of inputs. A few weeks ago, we reviewed Cinemood, a miniature and fairly low-cost portable projector that unfortunately did not really impress us. Vava is the projector we thought we were getting then, and we're happy to report that it impressed us a lot.

                    That's quite a price tag though...

                      Oh, but 25,000 hour lamp life! And lots of lumens! That alone is worth the replacement costs of the bulbs of regular projectors.

                              It weighs 23.8 lbs not 33, check your facts.

                              I had to dig for that in their documentation- direct download as it's not listed anywhere that I could find in the link or the product page.

                                    Yeah, that's laser based. So no traditional bulb, makes "super bright" easy, along with the super short throw.

                                      Probably product weight vs. shipping weight. Chances are a nearly 24lbs laser device is going to include a lot of hefty packaging.
