(SwiftKey) SwiftKey in action.

Microsoft has purchased SwiftKey, one of the very first and very best predictive typing keyboard apps out there, for around $250 million, the Financial Times reports.

SwiftKey's keyboard relies on the very trendy machine learning technology, where it learns from you as you type to better suggest the next word or phrase.

It's on over 300 million smartphones today, per the Financial Times report. Samsung and BlackBerry have both pre-installed the SwiftKey keyboard on some Android phones, and it once topped download charts on the Apple App Store and Google Play store.

For Microsoft, keyboards are a big deal right now, as it works to bring its own home-built Word Flow smart keyboard from the Windows 10 Mobile platform and over to the iPhone at some point in the near future. Word Flow for iPhone will reportedly feature a one-handed typing mode, too.

Microsoft also is a big fan of that same machine learning technology, using it to make tools like the Cortana virtual personal assistant better, faster, and more personal.

For SwiftKey, this is a solid exit: Despite its popularity, the London-based SwiftKey had trouble finding a solid and reliable business model, going from a $4 download to a free-to-use model where you had to pay for certain extras, but never settled into a groove, per that report.

Microsoft had no comment on the report.

Danke für die Infos sirmike !

Ich hab heute mal wieder einige Microsoft Aktien gekauft.

Denke, der Kurs ist aktuell etwas übertrieben zurückgegangen.

Microsoft (MSFT - Get Report) might be sinking your cloud. The company’s special research division, which works on breakthrough technologies, recently concluded a test of its first seabed data center. The innovation aims to bring the data demands of coastal cities together with ocean currents that provide reliable cooling and electricity generation. It might also give users a faster computing experience.

Microsoft Research’s Project Natick could represent the convergence of two epoch-shaping realities in computing. The first is the massive shift of data storage and processing on to cloud computing’s remote servers; last quarter Microsoft reported that revenues at its Intelligent Cloud division were up $6.3 billion, or 11%. The company operates more than 100 data centers to support the traditional Internet and emerging “Internet of Things.” The second is the cooling off of Moore’s Law, which for decades projected rapidly doubling of computational power owing to smaller and smaller transistors on integrated circuits. Gordon E. Moore, an Intel co-founder for whom the observation was named (it’s not an actual scientific law), said last year that he sees silicon chip progress soon hitting the physical walls inherent in the materials used and the finite velocity of light.

“With the end of Moore’s Law, the cadence at which servers are refreshed with new and improved hardware in the data center is likely to slow significantly," said Ben Cutler, Project Natick Manager, with Microsoft Research NExT (New Experience and Technologies)."We see this as an opportunity to field long-lived, resilient data centers that operate ‘lights out’ – nobody on site – with very high reliability for the entire life of the deployment, possibly as long as ten years.” Cutler adds that his small Natick data centers will use fewer materials and will be “fully recycled.”

The Natick prototype was placed 30’ deep in the Pacific, about a half mile off of central California. Proximity to where data demands are concentrated -- think a short sail from Wall Street -- would also give a speed boost that new chips might no longer deliver. Networks are defined by bandwidth, or capacity, and latency, which is the amount of time it takes for a packet of information to travel across it. Half of all people, or three-quarters of all large cities, are under 40 miles from the sea, according to the UN Environment Programme. In a Natick world, those billions would be clustered near their briney data.

Microsoft is launching a Windows 10 Update History site today, February 9, which will provide users with information on what's in the Windows 10 updates the company is pushing.

The new Windows 10 Update History page will provide release notes about previous and current updates to Windows 10.

Microsoft's official statement about the new site, courtesy of a spokesperson:

"After listening to feedback regarding the level of disclosure for Windows 10 updates, we decided to implement a new system for communicating updates to the operating system. Today we are rolling out the Windows 10 update history site, a hub for the release notes that will accompany each update and serve as a historical record of prior release notes."

Microsoft Windows and Devices chief Terry Myerson said last October that Microsoft would provide users with more information about what is in the Cumulative Updates they are receiving for Windows 10. In October, 2015, Myerson said "starting next month," Microsoft planned to take a first stab at providing more documentation to both consumers and business users about what the company is delivering with each new update for Windows 10. Today is the first time Microsoft is providing this information.

In October, Myerson also said Microsoft would not provide a full code change list, but would try to provide the right amount of information for different audiences. IT pros, for example, will want and need information about different features than consumers will.

Today's new Windows 10 site also will be providing information on Microsoft apps, such as Edge, Groove, the Windows 10 Mail client and more, officials said. The site will be updated concurrently with new updates as they are made available, they said.

Update: The Windows 10 Update history site currently is showing information about two updates Microsoft will deliver today, February 9.

For those on the November update (Version 1511), KB3135173 (Build number 10586.104) provides fixes for authentication, update installation, Edge, Groove and more. For those on the original RTM version, KB3135174 (Build 10240.16682) provides fixes for update installation time, Edge, Silverlight performance and more.

Update No. 2 (February 10): Here's another Microsoft resource with branch and historical data for those attempting to keep up with what's in the various Windows 10 updates.
