Cisco 4Q: A hint of good news
More than the impressive results in Q3 - Cisco beat expectations in revenue and earnings per share, even though both were down markedly from last year - it was Cisco's guidance for Q4 that prompts some mild optimism. Cisco said it expects Q4 to be down 17% to 20% from last year's fourth fiscal quarter.

When I see electronic firmware based stuff work I always wonder; "How did they figure that out?"
