➀ Skype has been popular for connecting people via voice and video for years, but its journey is coming to an end.

➁ Microsoft announced that Skype will be replaced by Microsoft Teams in May 2025.

➂ The decision to discontinue Skype is to better meet customers' needs and focus on Teams, which has more advanced features and capabilities.

➀ New reports suggest that Call of Duty 2025 may be released on PS4 and Xbox One to maximize revenue from last-gen gamers.

➁ The game is reportedly in development for these consoles, aligning with Microsoft's strategy to boost sales across platforms.

➂ Activision may also have to launch COD 2025 on Switch 2 due to agreements made during the FTC v Microsoft merger trial.

Microsoft has shared an update on its Majorana 1 quantum computer, which uses a topological qubit for speed, compactness, reliability, and controllability. The company aims to scale this technology for large qubit quantities, potentially ushering in an age of quantum computing.

Majorana 1 is named after Ettore Majorana, who theorized particles that are their own antiparticles. Microsoft's qubit focuses on harnessing this property. While not yet at a million qubit supercomputer, Majorana 1 is a significant step towards that goal.

The challenge now is the speed of scaling. If Microsoft can scale to one million qubits quickly, it could lead to practical quantum computing. Otherwise, it may be another decade before we see the promise of quantum computing realized.

➀ Avowed was originally envisioned as a 'multiplayer Skyrim' before Microsoft's involvement.

➁ The game has undergone two reboots, shifting from a cross between Destiny and Skyrim to a more focused, zone-based model.
