While Valve delayed the launch of its Steam OS until 2015, its hardware partners are not waiting to launch their first Steam Machines. Both Alienware and Cyber Power PC will release Steam Machines running Microsoft Windows this holiday season, and this could end up being very good news for Microsoft.

Best Buy recently increased its dividend by 12%, the first increase since 2012. The company has greatly improved its financial position since the its turnaround began, and the dividend increase is proof that CEO Hubert Joly's plan is working.

Now that Microsoft's Xbox One has the same price as Sony's PlayStation 4, sales of the struggling Microsoft console should see a boost. But losing the Kinect as a standard feature -- combined with a performance disadvantage -- could ultimately doom the console.

Sony plans to launch a $99 streaming device this fall with the ability to stream PS3 games using the PlayStation Now cloud gaming service. This could be the final nail in the coffin for Android gaming in the living room, and if successful, it bodes poorly for Amazon's Fire TV.

Nintendo has posted three straight years of losses, and the Wii U console has been selling poorly. But, extremely popular games like Mario Kart, as well an enormous cash reserve, means that the company will be around for a long time.

Intel announced its Core M processor, a low-power version of its Core processor built on the new 14nm Broadwell platform. Enabling fanless, ultra-thin tablets and 2-in-1s at mainstream prices, both Intel and Microsoft have a lot to look forward to.

Shares of Aeropostale have fallen nearly 80% from their 52-week high as revenue and profits have collapsed. While betting on a turnaround may seem lucrative, long-term problems make it a risky proposition.

HP has announced a new 14" laptop, which runs the Android operating system, pricing above all of its Chromebooks and even some Windows laptops. If HP is trying to fail, it's doing a good job.

J.C. Penney reported same-store sales growth during its first quarter, but with revenue so far below historical levels the company's cost structure remains unsustainable. Profitability will require much faster growth, and that means that the negative traffic trends need to reverse.

Microsoft announced a 12-inch version of its Surface tablet, the Surface Pro 3, at an event earlier this week. The device is a true laptop replacement that has similar specs as high-end laptops like Apple's MacBook Pro, while doubling as an extremely powerful tablet. For power users, the Surface Pro 3 could end up being a big hit.

Best Buy has beaten earnings estimates for four quarters in a row. And with analysts extremely uncertain about the company's earnings, Best Buy could make that number five on May 22. Here's what to expect when Best Buy reports earnings.
