	Richi Jennings: Microsoft pays to watch YouTube YouTube played by the Xbox One. YouTube viewers may need to closely read the credits of videos starring the Xbox One from Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT). The word "credit" has multiple meanings; one definition is "an entry recording a sum received". This is the preferred meaning for a subset of "video partners", and "influencers" in the gaming community, who've allegedly been paid to create Xbox One astroturf videos. Fast forward to Microsoft's partner-in-marketing Machinima, reputed originator of emails defining Xbox promotion video terms. In Microsoft's Xbox movies, a handsome, rugged, "don't mention Microsoft" clause always acts the leading role.

If you live through a lens created by reading the New York Times, then you'd be forgiven for thinking Apple's much-vaunted China Mobile iPhone launch saw "weak response", and while there's plenty around who want you to believe that, you'd be wrong. Read More Richi Jennings: Hans Vestberg as Microsoft CEO? Microsoft woos Hans Vestberg. It's on-again, off-again for potiential CEO candidates at Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT). The latest apple of Microsoft's eye is the suave Swedish sophisticate Hans Vestberg, CEO of Ericcson (NASDAQ:ERIC). With a reputation for being able to telecommunicate with his partners, he appears to be a good catch. One big obstacle remains though: Microsoft's other half needs to get a quickie divorce in Las Vegas. At home and awake until all hours, we find current CEO and jilted-lover Steve Ballmer. As much as he would prefer to part amiably, Microsoft can't let go, afraid to commit to another long-term relationship.
