Earnings reports...

The major reason I have been reading Joe Wilcox since way back when he was an analyst at Jupiter Research was his parsing of earnings reports for Microsoft. When he started working for eWeek, he added Apple as well. While he hasn't always gotten the companies right (sometimes, he's too pessimistic with regards to Apple), his reading of them seems the most reasonable. It's good to see he's going to continue to remark on earnings season while at BetaNews; here is his take on Apple defying the recession.
