Are Virtual Power Plants the Next Generation in Electrical Utilities?
Germany's energy giants are lumbering behind the rapid advance of renewable energy. They might stay afloat for a while, but they don't seem flexible enough to achieve a turnaround, says DW's Henrik Böhme.
>" […] Decentralization is the buzzword. And the power required elsewhere, say, for street lights, electric motors, or the bakery nearby will be largely generated through renewables. Even large industrial compounds will be in a position to generate enough electricity for their own needs.
Nuclear power stations will all have been switched off by then, with only a few coal-fired or gas-fired plants still in operation. One way or another, Germany's power landscape is bound to undergo dramatic changes.
Then came the Fukushima nuclear disaster four years ago, leading to the German government's decision to phase out nuclear energy completely by 2022. That dealt a severe blow to Eon, RWE and co. which hadn't really understood the thrust of the country's energy transition anyway.
The utilities in question are now frantically trying to rescue what they still can. They're cutting away some of the fat. Costs are being cut, employees are being laid off and selected divisions are being jettisoned. The companies have rediscovered private clients by offering them networking technology.
But people don't trust those giant, de facto monopolist firms anymore. Younger companies can do the same just as well, and often far more efficiently. Take "Next Kraftwerke", a Cologne-based start-up. They run a virtual power station where power is collected from many smaller facilities and redistributed in the process. This is pretty close to what a future energy supply system will look like.

On January 20, 1997, a so-called "Student Coalition" marched from Showalter Fountain to the Sample Gates, demanding action on a variety of issues. Their demands included the following, according to griot: The approval of a Latino Studies Department, The appointment of an Asian-American Advocacy Dean, The maintenance of the Office of Diversity Programs, University funding for the GLB center, creation of an Asian Culture Center, an increase in nonwhite and women faculty, and university recognition of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
The march itself drew far less than expected. The Indiana Daily Student reports the Coalition expected 1000 people to march, but only about 400 marched, according to the IDS. This is less than half of the expected goal, on a day of relatively warm weather conducive to such a protest. Hardly a major statement on a campus of over 30,000 students.
As to the demands of the Coalition, Hoosier Review must oppose these proposals. The demand for more nonwhite and women faculty sounds suspiciously like a quota. HR believes positions in faculty, including professorships, should go to the most highly-qualified individual. To hire professors simply on the basis of skin color or gender without regard to qualification is an insult to students who spend thousands of dollars on an education. Students deserve the best, and I.U. has an obligation to hire the best.
The demands for more nonwhite and women faculty also seem to be in conflict with the original dream of Dr. King, for a color blind society. King's dream of a society where everyone is free to be the best he can be without regard to race or gender are being subverted by these demands. If the Coalition is serious about honoring Dr.King's legacy, they should withdraw this demand.
However, the most troubling aspect of the Coalitions demands, is public funding for the GLB culture center.
For students of religious faith or who observe traditional Judeo-Christian values, this is a direct slap in the face. While many people will tolerate behavior they disapprove of, these same people would take strong opposition to their money being forcefully taken from them in order to "educate" about something they disagree with. After a lengthy battle in the Fall of 1994, this Center was denied public funding, and has survived for two years on private donations. The Center should continue to operate on private donations rather than forcing all students to contribute to it.
Hoosier Review strongly advises the I.U. administration to strongly consider their impending actions. There was almost no public debate on these issues, except for the protest itself and lobbying those who support the demands. Since conservative voices on campus were largely ignored in this debate, the I.U. administration should open the debate to the entire university and allow conservative students to have their say.
Hopefully, the University will seriously consider these issues and think of all students before making a final decision.

John B. Bright, C.E., Howay and Scholefield, British Columbia from the Earliest Times to the Present; Vancouver, S.J. Clarke Publishing Company , 1914, Volume 3, page 35, https://archive.org/stream/britishcolumbiaf00schouoft#page/35/mode/1up
John Benjamin Bright was a civil engineer and railway contractor. He lived at 1949 Barclay Street in 1911 and 1912. He was at 1943 Comox Street from 1914 to 1919.
He was born on June 27, 1860, in Woolsthorpe, Grantham, Lincolnshire, England. His father was James Bright; his mother was Harriet Ann Walker.
After studying engineering in England, he came to Canada about 1882. He joined the engineering staff of the Canadian Pacific Railway, first in Winnipeg, Manitoba; he worked in the railway's mountain division until 1888. Later he worked for railroads in Oregon, Idaho and Washington. After his return to Canada, he became an engineer of roads and bridges with the federal Public Works Department. After 1897, he worked on another series of railways in Canada, along with irrigation work in southern Alberta.
On June 29, 1907, in Nicola Valley, British Columbia, he married Mabel Amelia ("Queenie") Hardiman. (He gave his address as Blaine, Washington State.) Mabel was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, on October 21, 1886. Her father was Theophilus Richard Hardiman (1851-1928); her mother was Mary Theresa Hallam (1852-1926).
In 1911, John was the president of the Rainy River Gravel Company.
In August 1915, he enlisted as a Captain in the Canadian Expeditionary Force. (The enlisting documents gave his birth year as 1873, rather than 1860.) After the war, he resumed his occupation as a civil engineer until about 1925. In 1919, he became a justice of the peace.
He was a member of the Terminal City Club, as well as the Mountain Lodge Number 9 of the Masons. He was interested in fishing and shooting.
By 1943, he was living in West Vancouver, British Columbia. He died in Vancouver on April 18, 1943. He was buried in Capilano View Cemetery in West Vancouver.
Mabel died in Langley, British Columbia, on August 9, 1972.

James and Muriel moved to California. In 1935, they were living in Sacramento. By 1940, they were divorced. James was living in Diamond Springs, El Dorado County, California. Muriel was living in Beckwourth Judicial Township, near Portola, Plumas County, California.
In December 1941, Muriel was married to Charles Moore Dustin (often called "Dusty"). He was born on November 23, 1893, in Portland, Oregon. He was a locomotive brakeman for the Western Pacific Railroad Company.
Charles died in Butte County, California, on December 31, 1990. He was buried in Memorial Park Cemetery in Oroville, Butte County, California.
Muriel died in October 2000. She was buried in Memorial Park Cemetery in Oroville, Butte County, California.

There were three competing movements in 16th-century natural philosophy. Platonism was revived in the 15th century and Ficino and Patrizi attempted, unsuccessfully, to provide an alternative to Aristotelianism. The renaissance naturalism of the 16th century aimed to secure autonomy for natural philosophy by presenting an increasingly radicalized naturalistic picture of the natural realm. Late scholastic textbook writers, from the late 16th to the early 17th centuries, attempted, unsuccessfully, to reform and systematize Christianized Aristotelianism to meet the new demands placed on it by developments in natural philosophy.Less

Guardians of Republicanism analyses the political and intellectual history of Renaissance Florence—republican and princely—by focusing on five generations of the Valori family, each of which played a dynamic role in the city's political and cultural life. The Valori were early and influential supporters of the Medici family, but were also crucial participants in the city's periodic republican revivals throughout the Renaissance. Mark Jurdjevic examines their political struggles and conflicts against the larger backdrop of their patronage and support of the Neoplatonic philosopher Marsilio Ficino, the radical Dominican prophet Girolamo Savonarola, and Niccolò Machiavelli, the premier political philosopher of the Italian Renaissance. Each of these three quintessential Renaissance reformers and philosophers relied heavily on the patronage of the Valori, who evolved an innovative republicanism based on a hybrid fusion of the classical and Christian languages of Florentine communal politics. Jurdjevic's study thus illuminates how intellectual forces—humanist, republican, and Machiavellian—intersected and directed the politics and culture of the Florentine Renaissance.Less

Chapter Two analyzes the family's relationship to Marsilio Ficino, their Platonic patronage, and the tensions it created for the family's relationship with Savonarola. Bartolomeo, Filippo, and Niccolò Valori all supported Ficino in notable ways: Bartolomeo and Filippo with financial and political support, as well as occasional minor collaboration, and Niccolò with financial and political support, as well as formally bringing Ficino into the family's alliance and patronage network by making him a godparent to Niccolò's son. The sustained support of Ficino by the Valori family created tensions in their friendship and alliance with Savonarola, who was at the same time publicly condemning the value of ancient philosophers as a guide for engaged activity in the Christian world. En route, it provides an explanation of when and why the 'myth' of the Platonic Academy emerged for the first time in early sixteenth‐century Florence.Less

This chapter contains Ren" Gu"non's biography from the First World War until 1927. Through a survey of his major writings, all of which were published during this period, the chapter explains the essentials of the Traditionalist philosophy, and its debt to a Renaissance Perennialist, Marsilio Ficino. The chapter also introduces Gu"non's earliest collaborators, of whom the most important was an unusual Boston art historian, Ananda Coomaraswamy. They also included Gu"non's publisher, an early and devoted disciple, and various Catholic figures, notably the antiquarian Louis Charbonneau-Lassay and the philosopher Jacques Maritain. The chapter ends with a discussion of the enthusiastic reception given Gu"non's work in certain French literary and artistic circles.Less

The chapter also introduces Gu"non's earliest collaborators, of whom the most important was an unusual Boston art historian, Ananda Coomaraswamy. They also included Gu"non's publisher, an early and devoted disciple, and various Catholic figures, notably the antiquarian Louis Charbonneau-Lassay and the philosopher Jacques Maritain. The chapter ends with a discussion of the enthusiastic reception given Gu"non's work in certain French literary and artistic circles.

This chapter explores how the discovery in Renaissance Neoplatonism of ideas allowed Joseph Joubert to pursue these ideas, particularly those relating to the relationship between idea, image, and copy, into the realm of contemporary epistemology; how his reading of Charles Bonnet and Marsilio Ficino made it easier for him to take advantage of the sensualist philosophy of Etienne Bonnot de Condillac without becoming snared by materialism. Joubert's reading of Bonnet and Ficino undoubtedly helps to modify any view of him as a strict Platonist, more concerned with contemplation of a divine realm of archetypes or essences than their reflection in the world of perishable matter. In a pensée of 1798, which compares the merits of a pear's flesh with its pips or seeds, it is interesting to observe the emergence of a slight preference in Joubert's careful choice of vocabulary.Less

Although Ficino becomes the most important reader of Plato in early modern Europe, he never provides any kind of explicit reading strategy or methodology to follow for dealing with sexuality. But at the same time, Ficino does not entirely ignore the question of hermeneutics either. Rather, he employs his own Neoplatonic philosophical apparatus as a kind of hermeneutic model, and the process of the ascent of the soul provides an interpretive framework for rereading Platonic sexuality. Simply put, Ficino's approach to the content of Plato's thought also serves as his approach to reading sexuality. The overlap between hermeneutical and philosophical questions in Ficino's Platonic Theology and in his Commentary on Plato's Symposium on Love suggests that the ascent of the soul also implies an ascent of the text cleansed of impurities such as same-sex sexuality. Ficino's medical works reveal how medical principles such as bleeding and purging are closely related to textuality. If Ficino considers Platonic sodomy a "contagion," it is in part so that he can cure it in his rendition of the philosopher's corpus. The role of the female body in this process of ascent is also treated.Less

This chapter expands on the theoretical approaches to Plato discussed in the previous chapter to examine how they function very specifically within the context of two deeply homoerotic sections of Ficino's translation of, and commentary on, the Symposium. Ficino's rereading of the famous myth of the androgyne, also known as Aristophanes's speech, perhaps more so than anywhere else in his commentaries, purges same-sex sexuality from the text to create a kind of textual ascent. Ficino does not simply efface male-male love, but evokes it in order to efface its physicality. The chapter then focuses on Ficino's response to the second major hotspot in the Symposium, Alcibiades's speech at the end of the dialogue. Without commenting on it, Ficino translates this section of the text with moderate fidelity, as if to provide a textual commentary on his translation without discussing this unavoidable part of the text. What Ficino does say about the text, however, is less important than the process of purification of this textual problem, and of same-sex male sexuality in a larger sense. Socrates becomes not a figure of erotic desire, but a curative talisman not unlike the cures for the plague discussed in Ficino's medical writings.Less

Symphorien Champier's The Ship of Virtuous Ladies is generally considered one of the earliest contributions to the pro-woman side of the French Renaissance version of the querelle des femmes, the cultural debate over the nature and status of women. Heavily influenced by the work of Ficino, Book 4 helps popularize Ficinian Neoplatonism in France, setting the stage for later representations of male-female love. Yet, unexpectedly, love and desire between men plays a major role in Book 4. While this section of the text purports to teach men and women how to love each other virtuously, Champier also includes a lengthy story illustrating "the power of love of one man for another man." With its love triangles and its gender complexities, the adaptation from Boccaccio's Decameron rejects the possibility of Ficinian male-male eroticism as it creates a "balance" model of gender by which male-male and male-female love coexist. Disease is caused by a lack of gender balance whose symptoms require a realignment of gendered desire. This curative realignment for Champier, trained as a doctor and a philosopher, pertains especially to his vision of a balanced France, as distinguished from Italy.Less

This chapter presents Marsilio Ficino's discussion of melancholy. The son of a doctor, Ficino was born in Italy in 1433 and died in 1499. He lived to be a renowned figure of the Italian Renaissance, a Neoplatonist humanist, a translator of Greek philosophical writing, and the most influential exponent of Platonism in Italy in the 15th century. The passages in this chapter were taken from Three Books on Life, a work not on philosophy but on health, in particular the health hazards associated with the intellectual life. Here Ficino offers the learned causes, cures, and particular warnings concerning their health and well-being. The passages are taken from the very beginning of this set of three books. Ficino draws the link between the black bile of melancholy and the inspiration and exalted moods and achievements of genius.Less

This volume has three aims. First, historians of philosophy have typically focused on the discussions of the moral relevance of emotions, and with the exception of scholars of ancient philosophy, neglected the place of emotions in cognitive life. This collection of articles refocuses the discussion of emotion in the medieval and early modern periods to their role in cognition. Second, though many have aimed to clarify relationship between the later thinkers and their predecessors with regard to issues in metaphysics and epistemology, there has been very little effort at tracing similar lines of thought about emotion. As a whole, the contributions to this volume serve to begin a discussion about the continuities between medieval and early modern thinking about the emotions. In this regard, there is also a discussion of the emotions of cognitive life of the Renaissance. Though we get only a snapshot of a period of philosophical work often passed over, even this snapshot invites questions about how to weave an intellectual history about accounts of our emotions in our cognitive lives. Finally, attention to the concerns that engage philosophers of the medieval, renaissance and early modern periods can inform the contemporary debate regarding the relationship between emotions, cognition, and reason. The thirteen contributions explore this from the point of view of four key themes: the situation of emotions within the human mind; the intentionality of emotions and their role in cognition; emotions and action; the role of emotion in self-understanding and the social situation of individuals.Less

The paper deals with the reception of the Platonic theory of love during the Italian Renaissance. Plato's theory offers a specific conception of love, in which personal love is understood only as a part of a broader concept of love, which has specific relevance to the philosopher. In particular, this love figures as a means to acquire self-improvement and self-perfection. After outlining the Platonic theory of love to show how the erotic attraction to another person based on the perception of the beautiful is linked to the philosopher's desire for wisdom, the paper explores the reception of this theory by three well-known Renaissance philosophers, i.e. Marsilio Ficino, Leone Ebreo, and Giordano Bruno, and their appropriation of it to different ends.Less

The rise of print culture in tandem with a resurgent interest in Ptolemy's Geography prompted a radical transformation of the imagining of Europe's continental boundaries. Geoffroy Tory, France's first royal printer and typographer and the first editor of Enea Silvio Piccolomini's De Europa, powerfully seized these new tools to conceptualize Europe's borders with Asia. His groundbreaking Champ fleury (1529) links diverse spatial imageries to the question of the origin and transformation of European and non-European languages. It investigates Europe's shifting image from a landmass intimately connected with the oikoumene to an isolated entity detached from its shared heritage with Asia in the context of the formation and circulation of alphabets. The Champ fleury constitutes an astounding cartographic surface, a vibrant map upon which letters, as graphic, somatic, and numeric signs, form a new cartographic language in constant transformation and translation. In Tory's hand, the "flowery field" of its title becomes a platform for the generation of complex cartographic signs that this chapter, following Ján Pravda, calls "cartographemes."Less

In De amore, Marsilio Ficino's seventh and final speech, considers the kind of love that is the "opposite" of Socratic love, a form of insanity rather than the "divine madness" praised by Plato as a means to knowledge. Ficino insists that this "insanity" is a form of love while delineating the features of what he also calls "vulgar love." The opening stages of the seventh speech, which purports to interpret the poem Donna me prega by Guido Cavalcanti, show Ficino's unease with the implications of the medical treatment of love-melancholy. In his speech, Ficino is indebted to Dino del Garbo's commentary but nevertheless transforms Cavalcanti's poem into a vehicle for his own version of Platonic love. In his commentary, del Garbo names this form of love amor ereos ("lovesickness"). This chapter examines the complex medical history that makes possible Ficino's commentary on love-melancholy in De amore, and shows that the medical/philosophical tradition of love-melancholy engages in complex ways with a Platonic view of love.Less

This chapter explores the theoretical continuity between Marsilio Ficino's original insights in De amore about the relationship of love-melancholy with grief and contemporary psychoanalytic theory. In particular, it looks at some of the continuities between classical and early modern theories of desire and contemporary psychoanalytic thought, and discusses psychoanalysis in relation to melancholia, with an emphasis on the connection between love and loss. In his interpretation of Lucretius's De rerum natura, Ficino illustrates not only Lucretius's argument that lovers wish metaphorically to "devour" the beloved, but also how pathological love is linked to unbearable grief. Drawing on the theories of mourning and melancholia developed by Sigmund Freud, Julia Kristeva, Maria Torok, and Nicolas Abraham, the chapter examines the useful theoretical connection between the psychoanalytic concept of melancholic "incorporation" and earlier writers' emphasis on the fantasy of devouring the beloved. It argues that love-melancholy exists as an often heavily disguised resistance to mourning a lost (or inaccessible) beloved.Less

It has become customary in musicology to situate the madrigal and music of the sixteenth century within a neoplatonic framework, with particular reliance on the Italian pythagorean Marsilio Ficino. Within that framework, concepts undeniably crucial to Renaissance culture (for example, harmonia) dominate, rising explicitly to the surface in polemical debates over compositional propriety in the fin de siècle madrigal. However, a wide range of intellectual contexts coexisted in the sixteenth century, some complementary but others mutually antagonistic. For instance, this same period also nurtured Baldassare Castiglione's Book of the Courtier (1528), a self-help guide for those who would pass themselves off as members of the elite, and Niccolò Machiavelli's The Prince (1513), which marks the beginning of modern political theory. Some of the first madrigals were composed for Machiavelli's 1526 production of his play La Mandragola (The Mandrake), among the most celebrated comedies in the Italian language. The French musician Philippe Verdelot figures among the earliest practitioners of the new genres of madrigals.Less

Donne's "The Ecstasy" explores a love which is as virtual as it is actual, creating a life of love that is as absorbing inside the poem as it is impossible outside it, and raising a question about how poetry can think about love distinctively. To address that question, this chapter compares a specific poetic form, the quatrain, with philosophical dialogues by Marsilio Ficino, Tullia d'Aragona, and Leone Ebreo. "The Ecstasy" shares with these dialogues in imagining love as a phenomenon of non-sovereignty, of giving up the wish for mastery over the self and control over the beloved, with a key difference residing in how non-sovereignty comes about. For Ficino, Tullia, and Leone, love assumes the form of what Bataille would call a project: an undertaking with an aim over which lovers have at least some control—in this case, a project of self-transformation by which lovers become more perfect. "The Ecstasy" sometimes also makes love into a project, but in other places, the poem's quatrains turn love from a project into an experience: (again, in Bataille's terms) an aimless encounter in which lover and beloved become entangled in incomplete yet excruciating ways, ways that forge a distinctly poetic non-sovereign love.Less

According to the neoplatonic philosophy of Marsilio Ficino, harmony acts on the inferior faculties of the soul, which are independent of the will. In this context, this chapter discusses a few classical myths of the musical treatment of 'excessus mentis', that is a deep alteration of the psychic equilibrium, as in fury or ecstasy. The fundamental idea is that harmony is a concordance of discordant (crasis) opposites, a conciliation of antagonistic qualities, which parallels the crasis of the humors in the body. This suggests an 'elementary' conception of musical grammar, analogous to the physics of elements and the medicine of the humors. The same elementary conception characterizes the 'elements of musical grammar' combined in the melody's body. The theory of affects assumed by humanists, based on the heritage of the ancient theories, rests on the simple principle of imitation and correspondence: the transfer of forms across different domains. Renaissance theorists attribute the qualities of harmony to the soul and qualities of the soul to harmony. Thanks to this parallelism, the forms of expression of major passions, like anger or melancholy, encourage constant and easily traceable rhetorical expressions in the musical repertoire of Renaissance and Early Baroque music. In such a way, the theory of affects in music becomes an ensemble of objective criteria, a method and a series of shared rules.Less
According to the neoplatonic philosophy of Marsilio Ficino, harmony acts on the inferior faculties of the soul, which are independent of the will. In this context, this chapter discusses a few classical myths of the musical treatment of 'excessus mentis', that is a deep alteration of the psychic equilibrium, as in fury or ecstasy. The fundamental idea is that harmony is a concordance of discordant (crasis) opposites, a conciliation of antagonistic qualities, which parallels the crasis of the humors in the body. This suggests an 'elementary' conception of musical grammar, analogous to the physics of elements and the medicine of the humors. The same elementary conception characterizes the 'elements of musical grammar' combined in the melody's body. The theory of affects assumed by humanists, based on the heritage of the ancient theories, rests on the simple principle of imitation and correspondence: the transfer of forms across different domains. Renaissance theorists attribute the qualities of harmony to the soul and qualities of the soul to harmony. Thanks to this parallelism, the forms of expression of major passions, like anger or melancholy, encourage constant and easily traceable rhetorical expressions in the musical repertoire of Renaissance and Early Baroque music. In such a way, the theory of affects in music becomes an ensemble of objective criteria, a method and a series of shared rules.

This chapter reviews and contextualizes the early career of Paul Oskar Kristeller (1905-1999), the doyen of Renaissance studies in postwar American academia. It details Kristeller's relationship to his Italian mentor, Giovanni Gentile, and to rival academics during his exile in Italy in the 1930s, as well as his indebtedness to his German mentors and peers. These included Hans Baron, whose epistolary dialogue with Kristeller helped interest the latter in the Renaissance Platonist Marsilio Ficino; Martin Heidegger, who influenced his appreciation for existential concerns; and, especially, Heinrich Rickert, whose brand of Neokantianism was instrumental, the chapter shows, in shaping Kristeller's influential view of Renaissance humanism as "rhetoric" rather than "philosophy." The nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century debate concerning the scientific value of the Geisteswissenschaften provides an additional context for Kristeller's scholarship: this dispute pitted Rickert against the German historicist tradition that runs from Johann Gustav Droysen to Wilhelm Dilthey, and was favored by Eugenio Garin. With this context in mind, the chapter invites a new understanding of the fundamental disagreement between Garin and Kristeller that defined Renaissance studies; it also aims to transcend that disagreement by revealing that the two scholars were united in making Renaissance scholarship a philosophical discourse in its own right.Less

Microsoft Corporation (MSFT), Intel Corporation (INTC), Google Inc (GOOG): A Dismal Wintel Second Quarter
Published on August 2, 2013 at 3:20 pm by The Motley Fool in News
Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) and Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC) both headed lower after releasing earnings that disappointed Wall Street. Neither company is gaining traction quickly enough in the mobile space. But that's true of Google Inc (NASDAQ:GOOG), too. The Wintel duo has less downside risk.
It's a PC thing
Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) and Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC) are the dominant names in the personal computer space. However, advances in computer speed and technology have outstripped customer needs. Even computers that are several generations old can capably surf the net, handle office applications, and check email. There's little reason for customers to upgrade until they absolutely have to.
And then came the casual computer, otherwise known as a tablet. These handy devices are more portable than a PC, even a laptop, and more than capable of surfing the web and checking email. It isn't as easy to use them for office work, but they can handle those chores, too, if you want them to.
So now, there's even less reason to upgrade to the newest PC. Thus, sales have been falling for over a year. That's a big problem for this pair. And it's all that investors seem to be focused on right now.
The "Win"
The just ended quarter marked the end of Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT)'s 2013 fiscal year. It earned $2.58 a share versus $2.00 a share in 2012. Although that's positive, if you take out one-time items, the bottom line fell to $2.62 a share in 2013 from $2.78 a share. Weak PC sales were the main culprit, since the rest of the company's businesses have been doing relatively well.
That investors are hyper sensitive to the PC market makes sense, however it masks some important shifts being made. First off, the company is moving more and more of its businesses toward the web, with Internet-based offerings like Office 365, Skype, and the Azure cloud platform. And the company is gearing up for the launch of the Xbox One, a new gaming system.
On the PC side, important changes are being made, too, but as Amy Hood, the company CFO, noted during the conference call, "With over 1.5 billion Windows users around the world, a transition of this magnitude takes time." The big shift is creating a common platform for customers across Windows 8, Windows Mobile, and its Surface tablet offering.
Long-term investors should look at the recent price drop as a second chance to buy Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) shares on sale. The yield is heading back toward 3% and the company's outlook isn't as dismal as the PC industry sales suggest.
