The abrupt resignation of Hewlett-Packard CEO Mark Hurd Friday, following a sexual-harassment probe, sent shock waves throughout Silicon Valley and could sidetrack the tech powerhouse's recent resurgence.
Hurd, 53, resigned after the investigation into a sexual-harassment claim made against him and the company by a former HP contractor.
