Marketing thought of the week – is the tech sector rebounding?

So is the tech sector on the cusp of a rebound? After HP and Microsoft both saw small, but positive revenue growth in their last quarterly reports over last year’s results, IBM just announced earnings exceeded expectations and Intel issued a statement indicating that it believed the home computer market had bottomed out. Are these indicators that the worst is over for the tech sector? Are we on the upslope of the curve, and if so, how steep is the grade? From what I’m witnessing it’s still a little hard to believe the tech sector is in recovery mode. Even if we’ve bottomed it seems the slope of the uptick is going to be long and gradual.
