Microsoft Spends $9 Billion On Research, Focuses On Cloud 133

Posted by ScuttleMonkey
from the time-to-double-down dept.
superapecommando writes to share that Microsoft appears to be going all-out on research in the coming year, with a great focus on the cloud. They're supposedly planning to spend $9.5 billion in R&D; that's $3 billion more than the next-closest tech company. "'Especially in light of the tough difficult macroeconomic times that we're coming out of, we chose to really lean in and double down on our innovation,' [Microsoft COO Kevin] Turner said. Turner contended that Microsoft has more cloud services than any other company, ranging from its consumer email service to hosted enterprise products such as its Dynamics CRM (customer relationship management) system to its Azure cloud operating system. 'We're going to change and reinvent our company around leading in the cloud.'"

Read the Lost Fleet series ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lost_Fleet ) by Jack Campbell. He's got self-consistently handled space battles, and the same kind of light-hours/light-minutes lag, with fleets of ships essentially making high speed passes at each other, shooting for a miniscule fraction of a second, then turning around and doing it again. Obviously has some fantasy technology like deflector shields and artificial gravity, but still awesome.

Seconding this. I felt much the same. I visited this for the first time about a month ago, and was very impressed. Definitely one of the best museums I have ever been to.

They have a large room with a bunch of military vehicles/artillery as well, spanning from bore loaded cannons to Leopard Tanks and M109 Mobile Guns. Some of these have decent signage (most of the tanks, and vehicles along the outer building wall), while a lot of the stuff in the middle is interesting, but unfortunately not presented with any documentation.

The main galleries, however, are excellent, as described. If you're going soon, there's an exhibit about camouflage that's currently running there, created in conjunction with the Imperial War Museum in London, that was quite interesting. If you're hardcore into museums, as you seem to be, allocate a full day for this one.

Booze is the answer. I don't remember the question.
