US technology giants Google and Microsoft have both reported rising profits.
Online advertising revenues helped Google's net profit climb to $3.35bn (£2.19bn) in the first three months of the year, up 16% on a year ago.
Microsoft said it made $6bn in profit over the same period, up more than 17% from a year ago, despite a lukewarm reception for Windows 8.
It said also announced the departure of its chief financial officer.
Peter Klein will leave at the end of June, Microsoft said, ending an 11-year history with the company and becoming the latest in a series of executives to leave the firm.
Analysts suggested the move makes the imminent departure of chief executive Steve Ballmer less likely, as Microsoft would not want to lose two senior figures at the same time.
Mr Ballmer has faced questions over his leadership of the company.
The profits came despite falling PC sales, with deferred revenues from sales of Windows 8, Office and its video games operation providing a boost.
Windows 8, which is designed to make PCs work more like tablet computers, was released in October last year, but has faced a mixed reception.
Microsoft's Windows division actually showed no growth at all when deferred revenues were excluded.
Microsoft remains the world's largest software manufacturer.
Meanwhile Google's profits are being driven by growing income from online advertising, which helped boost overall revenues to nearly $14bn for the quarter, up from $10.7bn for the same period last year.
The results also suggest that Google is beginning to build confidence with advertisers. The amount paid per advert is still declining, but at a slower rate than last year.
