(See update) Despite the Dow's zig-zag ride on Wednesday, technology stocks are faring relatively well. Apple had recovered more than 5% toward the middle of the afternoon, and eBay was up more than 7.5%. However, several companies saw their stock prices drop. IBM lost ground after an analyst downgrade, and Yahoo dropped to a 52-week low over questions about future revenue opportunities in an advertising slowdown.
