Latest technology news (Microsoft hires new CEO from within; Google passes Exxon to be No. 2 in market cap.)

Three days ago, Satya Nadella was named as the new CEO at Microsoft. The company is going through major changes, and needs to make a transition into the right direction. Satya is a hyper educated guy, as he has three college degrees. He has been with the company for twenty two years, and the hiring appears to be the right one so far. Also, Bill Gates is not the chairman of Microsoft. He stepped down three days ago. Bill has stepped into the role of Founder and Technology Advisor instead. In other news, Google passed Exxon this week as the No. 2 company in terms of market capitalization. Google is a fifteen year old company, which has its hands in many different businesses. It is great to see this company surpass Exxon. Google's current stock price is more than $1,177. Oh wow! That price is not cheap. Hope you like the picture of Larry Page, Sergey Brin, and Eric Schmidt. It's a nice picture of the big three "googlers."
