ahead decide earnings expected few growth traders unusual year
The fourth-quarter earnings are expected to show growth from a year ago, and there have been very few pre-announcements one way or the other, which is positive, ...

I thought Dell had good numbers, and it likely shows that they have taken share in a lot of key areas. While that's good for Dell, I don't think it takes the sting out of HP's news. I don't think it has broad implications for the rest of tech.
