Top tickers trending

$MSFT: Microsoft MSFT �ends the session 0.7% lower despite getting some good news earlier. A U.S. judge ruled against a request by Google�s Motorola Mobility to ban the sale of Microsoft products, including Xbox and Windows, according to media reports. Microsoft and Motorola have been fighting in court over the fair price to pay for Motorola�s patents related to wireless LAN and video standards.

Meanwhile, Michael Comeau at Minyanville suggests Windows 8 failed to revive PC sales because the personal computer has evolved to become a �toaster.� �It�s not a source of interest in and of itself � it�s a tool for getting a job done,� he said. See: Windows 8 and the toasterization of the PC

@situate: If the PC is a toaster, is $MSFT toast?

@bbolan1: When do price cuts come for the Surface? $MSFT

@jonsticha: Hey $MSFT, why not join the party? #specialdividend

@TraderDR: I was wrong, there�s been a huge resurgence of $MSFT hate articles in the last 2 weeks -2008 levels

$GM: GM GM �shares shed 1.4% after the auto maker reported November sales rose 3.4%, compared with analysts� estimate of 5.5%. However, Ford Motor Co.�s F �sales increased 6.5%, exceeding the 3% forecast. See: Ford and GM sales rise in November

@mkanterm: the #fiscalcliff strikes again: $GM to withhold 2013 sales forecast until fiscal clarity in Washington

GMC�s Acadia Denali

@Mr_Cain_Thaler: Why was $GM allowed to keep its old ticker. Can we at least throw up an asterisk on that thing!?

$GOOG: Google Inc. GOOG �was drawing some chatter as the Twitter world discussed some technical levels.

@BenCBanks: $AMZN $GOOG have been good - needs to break or something to let others in. It�s chasing right now but it is nice for those who are in.

@RedDogT3Live: $GOOG opening above $700. I sold too early as it was a nice trade last week from the targeted $670-$675 area. Trim and trail

Then there is this tweet, although it�s not clear whether it was in jest:

@macropterous: Dear @google, Where can I get a Nexus Q? I will send you dollars. Please advise, @macropterous. #Google $GOOG (second try)
