You probably wouldn't expect an IT reseller named PC Connection (PCCC) to be much of a performer over the last few years. In the PC space, desktop sales are declining, while vendors such as Dell and Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) are struggling amidst Chinese competition (primarily from Lenovo (OTCPK:LNVGY)). In the IT space, storage prices are tumbling, and server sales are growing only modestly, with cloud and virtualization solutions creating pricing pressure across the space.
(AP) -- The personal computer market grew slower than expected in the second quarter, hurt by the rise of tablet computers and anemic consumer demand in the U.S. and Europe. googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1449240174198-2'); }); The tepid diagnosis of the PC industry's health in two reports released Wednesday offers another sign of trouble for an industry at a crossroad. The reports' findings threaten to weaken investor sentiment about the sector heading into earnings season, with Apple Inc. and computer chip makers Intel Corp. and Advanced Micro Devices Inc. scheduled to report next week.Market research firms Gartner Inc. and IDC, using different methodologies, each found that PC shipments improved in the second quarter but were still lighter than expected.Gartner found that 85.2 million PCs shipped, a gain of 2.3 percent but below its 6.7 percent projection. IDC found that 84.4 million PCs shipped, a 2.6 percent gain and short of its 2.9 percent projection.IDC blamed the shortfall on a "hangover" from strong growth in the first half of 2010 as well as economic worries and competition from smartphones, tablets and other new technologies. Gartner said the PC market is adapting to the new pressures."After strong growth in shipments of consumer PCs for four years, driven by strong demand for mini-notebooks and low-priced consumer notebooks, the market is shifting to modest, but steady growth," Mikako Kitagawa, a Gartner analyst, said in a statement. "The slow overall growth indicates that the PC market is still in a period of adjustment, which began in the second half of 2010."Hewlett-Packard Co. retained its position as the world's No. 1 PC seller in both companies' research. It was followed by Dell Inc. and Lenovo Group Ltd.Strong sales in Asia and Latin America and to corporations helped buoy the industry despite a contraction in the U.S. market.Apple, which makes Mac computers as well as iPhones and iPads, was the strongest performer in the U.S., rising above 10 percent market share in both reports.HP shares were unchanged at $35.44 in extended trading, after the reports were released. Dell shares fell 7 cents to $16.46. Intel slipped 8 cents to $22.40, while AMD dipped 3 cents to $6.45. Apple shares fell $1.40 to $356.62. ©2011 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

In both the e-tailing and hardware categories, stock valuations had sunk so low that there was almost no place to go but up. But the retailing index may have also been helped by the fact that some of its worst performers have simply gone out of business.
Memorandum: Plaintiff commenced this action to recover damages for injuries he sustained during a professional wrestling performance. Supreme Court denied his motion for partial summary judgment seeking a determination that Arts and Cultural Affairs Law § 37.09 (1) applies to this action, and granted the cross motions of defendants for summary judgment dismissing the complaint. Contrary to plaintiff's contention, the court properly granted the cross motions insofar as they sought dismissal of the first cause of action, which asserts a violation of section 37.09 (1). The statute, entitled "[p]rotection of aerial performers from accidental falls" (id.), requires that protective devices be supplied to participants in an aerial performance "which creates a substantial risk to [the performer] or others of serious injury from falling" (id.). Here, we agree with the court that plaintiff was injured when he executed a maneuver that included a planned jump with an acrobatic flip onto the wrestling ring's surface from the ropes surrounding the ring, rather than from an accidental fall (cf. Murach v Island of Bob-Lo Co., 290 AD2d 180, 181), and thus the statute is inapplicable.
Here, the court properly concluded that the risk of severe neck and back injuries is inherent in the planned and staged activity engaged in by plaintiff, i.e., jumping from a four-foot high rope onto a wrestling ring, landing on one's back, and then being pushed out of the ring by another performer. Thus, "it is indisputable that . . . plaintiff assumed the risk of landing incorrectly when tumbling in the manner he had been trained to do during his [five-year career as a professional wrestling performer]. The fact that the [rope was slightly looser], a circumstance of which . . . plaintiff was plainly aware, does not raise an issue of fact" (Morgan, 90 NY2d at 487; see generally Yedid v Gymnastic Ctr., 33 AD3d 911, 911). Therefore, "by participating in the [exhibition], plaintiff consented that the duty of care owed him by defendants was no more than a duty to avoid reckless or intentionally harmful conduct . . . [and] consent[ed] to accept the risk of injuries that are known, apparent or reasonably foreseeable consequences of his participation in" that exhibition (Turcotte v Fell, 68 NY2d 432, 437), including the risk of the injuries he sustained.
After resuming on a positive note, the Sensex went up over 118 points to touch the day's high of 18,743.41 on the back of optimism over the reshuffle of Cabinet on Sunday. The momentum, however, could not be sustained due to choppy trade in interest-rate sensitive stocks. The Sensex finally ended at 18,635.82, just 10.48 points up largely on account of rise in RIL and ITC shares. Weakness in global stocks on concerns over the impact of Hurricane Sandy on the US this week, downbeat corporate earnings and capital outflows, also dampened sentiments. The National Stock Exchange index Nifty ended 1.30 points up at 5,665.60, after moving between 5,698.30 and 5,645.10. Worried over high budget deficit derailing growth, Finance Minister P Chidambaram today unveiled a five-year road map for fiscal consolidation to promote investments, contain inflation and take India to high growth trajectory. "The roadmap is a step in right direction, but it lacks detail...timing of these announcements also suggests growing political pressure on RBI to cut rates tomorrow. In absence of any credible plan to lower fiscal deficit, we stick to our view of no repo rate cut tomorrow," Nomura India said. Capital goods, realty, power and banks saw selling while refinery, consumer durables and pharma saw buying. The rupee was under pressure and went below 54-mark against the dollar. Bhel was the worst performer today among 30-share Sensex losing over 6 per cent due to disappointing earnings and order book growth, said dealers. Sterlite, Tata Motors, CIL, L&T and HUL also fell. IT major Wipro, the best performer, gained over 2.5 per cent, led by Hero MotoCorp, Tata Power, Dr Reddy's and RIL. Asian stocks erased earlier gains and closed down on weak corporate earnings and announcement of reports of a new stamp duty by Hong Kong government. Indices from China, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore and Taiwan closed down while South Korea ended stable. European markets also were trading bearish in mid- session deals following weak Asian cues. The France's CAC was down by 0.86 per cent, the Germany's DAX by 0.65 per cent and the UK's FTSE by 0.48 per cent. Back home, 16 of the 30 Sensex-based companies ended higher while others closed lower. Besides Wipro, Hero MotoCorp (1.95 pc), Tata Power (1.82 pc), Dr Reddy's Lab (1.62 pc), Cipla (1.22 pc), Bharti Airtel (1.11 pc), M&M (0.96 pc) and ITC (0.82 pc) ended up. However, among losers Sterlite declined by 2.28 per cent, Tata Motors (1.8 pc), Coal India (1.11 pc), L&T (1.08 pc), HUL (1.02 pc) and ICICI Bank (0.90 pc). Among the sectoral indices, the BSE-Oil&Gas rose by 0.62 per centt and BSE-CD by 0.51 per cent, while the BSE-CG dipped by 1.69 per cent, BSE-Realty by 0.72 per cent and BSE-Power by 0.68 per cent."We expect the central bank to cut repo rates in the first month of the new calendar year. This is the beginning of the downtrend in interest rates," said Amar Ambani, Head of Research, IIFL. The overall market breadth remained negative as 1,604 scrips closed with losses, while 1,234 ended higher. The total turnover was slightly better at Rs 1,995.75 crore from Rs 1,951.04 crore last Friday. Meanwhile, FIIs sold shares worth Rs 198.84 crore last Friday as per provisional data with stock exchanges.if ( fe_check_is_mobile() == true ) {jQuery("googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1435909828675-0'); });").insertAfter(".runningtext p:eq(1)");} create_vuukle_platform('2e5a47ef-15f6-4eec-a685-65a6d0ed00d0', '1023536', 0, 'archive', 'Sensex erases early gains, ends 10pts up - The Financial Express'); if( false == fe_check_is_mobile() ) {document.write('');} else {document.write('');}var addthis_config = {"data_track_addressbar":false};var addthis_share = { "passthrough": { "facebook": { "app_id": 1672404616366149, "redirect_uri": "https:\/\/www.financialexpress.com\/archive\/sensex-erases-early-gains-ends-10pts-up\/1023536\/?fe_share=fb" }, "twitter": { "via": "FinancialXpress"} } };googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1467717901670-0'); });googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1467717901670-7'); });Tweets by FinancialXpress googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1467717901670-2'); });googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1467717901670-3'); });googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1467717901670-8'); });googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1467717901670-9'); }); The Express GroupThe Indian ExpressThe Financial ExpressLoksattaJansattaEximsRamnath Goenka Awards Privacy PolicyAdvertise with UsContact UsFeedback Copyright © 2023 The Indian Express [P] Ltd.
