How to earn money fast Build a Windows Phone app and get £60 000
Microsoft is looking to encourage developers to produce apps for its Windows Phone platform, paying out vast amounts of money to get devs on board.
With the Windows Phone ecosystem still struggling to gain a serious grip on the market, being dwarfed by iOS and Android, latest reports have claimed that Microsoft is giving developers up to $100,000 (£63,000) to get high-profile app developers to turn to the Windows platform.
Sadly, this isn’t everyone’s answer for how to make money fast. Microsoft is said to be saving the big bucks to target developers with a proven track record of crafting popular, profitable applications for rival platforms, namely those made by Apple and Google.
"My friends in Silicon Valley say Microsoft has been offering $100,000 or more to companies that will build Windows Phone apps,” a reporter for Bloomberg said in a recent article. They stressed that Microsoft has paid key name developers more than $100,000 to get them to develop for Windows Phone.
Although the Windows Phone platform now has more than 145,000 apps, it still lags a long way behind iOS and Android, both of which what are closing in on the 1 million apps milestone. What is more troubling for Microsoft, however, is the continuing lack of high-profile apps that are becoming something of a must have.
With Windows Phone still a system that is frequently overlooked by developers, earlier this year rival BlackBerry suggested that although it will be bringing its BBM system to iOS and Android in app form later this summer, Microsoft’s OS is still too small to be considered.
“When we look at critical masses and we look at other mobile platforms, iOS and Android at this point in time stand out to us,” Vivek Bhardwaj, Head of BlackBerry’s Software Portfolio, told us. “We are not excluding other platforms, it is just our focus needs to be on those that can get BBM to the masses and the data shows that iOS and Android make up the bulk of mobile users around the world.”

IBM Nvidia Team up To Build Worlds Fastest Supercomputer
The US energy department will spend $325 million in collaboration with IBM, Nvidia and Mellanox to create the worlds fastest supercomputers, Sierra and Summit by 2017.
According to some trusted sources, the supercomputer with two GPU acceleration will be composed of OpenPower chips by IBM, the latest graphic chip Volta, by Nvidia and the high speed network system by Mellanox to club everything together.
Summit is developed for civilian and scientific purpose at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Tennessee, its more powerful compared to the other supercomputer and can deliver 150 to 300 peak petaflops.
On the other hand, Sierra is believed to deliver above 100 peak petaflops and its purpose is to serve in nuclear weapons simulations at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Both the supercomputers will be the next champs crushing all the prevailing supercomputers. Titan by Oak Ridge holds the US record at 27 peak petaflops and Chinas Tianhe-2 holds the world at 55 peak petaflops.
IBM is also experimenting a new technique called "Data Centric" approach, using this technique the computing power can reside everywhere data is placed, and moreover it can minimize the motion date and energy consumption as well.
Get More Details on These Supercomputers
US Secretary of Energy said in a statement that, "High-performance computing is an essential component of the science and technology portfolio required to maintain U.S. competitiveness and ensure our economic and national security."
