That was the first thing I noticed, too. The fact that the Euro computers got Hurricane Sandy right was NOT a bad thing - it helped us.<p>There is no reason to look at this in any way adversarially. I guess it touches a nerve, because of the similar silly comments elsewhere, worrying about how the USA is &quot;losing&quot; if, say, the Chinese economy&#x27;s size exceeds the size of our own. Other folks doing well doesn&#x27;t make us <i>worse</i>. When it happens we should be happy: other people are doing well, and we&#x27;ve got an opportunity to learn and improve too!
