Usually when a company announces major job cuts it means they are in trouble, but it would be a sweeping generalization to say this is always the case. I remember when BlackBerry (then Research In Motion) announced a significant round of cuts back in the early 2000s. Analysts and investors freaked out. But in reality the company was just cleaning house as it prepared for even faster growth. The business went on to hit incredible new highs. Job cuts are not always a bad sign.

Today's reveal that Microsoft has increased its free space for all OneDrive users from 7GB to 15GB won't affect the customers who already had 25GB of free space on the cloud storage service, thanks to a newly revealed "loyalty bonus".
