Microsoft Announces Q2 2015 Earnings
Microsoft announced $26.5 billion in revenue for quarter closing out 2014, with Xbox sales down, but mobile device sales for units like the Surface Pro and Lumia phones doing well.
Net income in general is down from last year's report of $6.55 billion, however, this time at $5.86 billion.
Part of this drop, according to Microsoft, is related to $243 million worth of restructuring and integration costs partially due to the company's acquisition of Nokia's mobile phone business.
Surfaces sales are up 24%, bringing in $1.1 billion alone. Microsoft released its Surface Pro 3 last June, which our review of called "great," but not the perfect laptop replacement.

Felicity and The Atom Are Visiting The Flash
Producer Andrew Kreisberg has confirmed that Arrow's Felicity Smoak (Emily Bett Rickards) and Ray Palmer (Brandon Routh) will guest-star on an upcoming episode of The Flash.
Speaking to Variety, Kreisberg said that Felicity and Ray will appear in Episode 18 of The Flash's first season, which is aptly titled "All-Star Team-Up." Kreisberg indicates that the episode will justify Felicity's earlier appearance (in episode four) on The Flash as more than "just a gag," saying, "It really was integrated into the story. When you reach what’s going on in ‘The Flash’ at that point in the season, Barry is really at a crossroads. Having Felicity come by exactly when he needs her really plays into the whole storyline."
