Saudi Aramco is worth $1.78 trillion. Apple is currently at $1.59 trillion Microsoft is $1.53 trillion Amazon is at …
Microsoft has a new Artificial Intelligence Supercomputer that has 38 petaflops. This makes it the fifth most powerful computer in the world. * This is about being able to do a hundred exciting things in natural language processing at once and a hundred exciting things in computer vision, and when you start to see combinations …
Saudi Aramco has been the most valuable company in the world and it had an IPO late in 2019 and briefly traded at $2 trillion when it was worth 38.7 riyal per share. Saudi Aramco valuation is down to $1.7 trillion. Apple and Microsoft are the most valuble companies after Aramco. Apple is at $1.42 …
Microsoft is developing Majorana-based topological quantum computer qubits which will be higher-quality and lower error rate qubits. A high-quality hybrid system made of InSb nanowires with epitaxial-grown Al shells has revealed ballistic superconductivity and quantized zero-bias conductance peak. This holds great promise for making the long-sought topological quantum qubits. Theorists have already begun designing solid-state …
Microsoft’s topological qubit architecture is not ready. Microsofts Nadella highlighted a “quantum on classical” approach. Quantum tools will be used alongside classical computation to optimize the algorithms for simulating complex phenomena. Quantum-inspired algorithms can optimize MRI scans. Once the scan is done, the 3-D visualization can be viewed using Microsoft’s HoloLens augmented-reality headset. “Working with …
Microsoft’s Quantum Lab located at the University of Sydney made breakthroughs in qubit control technology that allow us to scale beyond the physical limitations of current conventional systems. They now have the ability to control up to 50,000 qubits through simply three wires, a cryogenic CMOS design, and a 1cm2 chip computing at near absolute …

The Microsoft Internet Explorer became the Edge browser, but it has failed and Microsoft is replacing it with a Chromium-based alternative. This story of technology revenge dates back the dot.com days and the Microsoft versus Google browser wars. Netscape lost the first browser war from 1995 to 2001. Netscape began with about 80% market share …
