????Oracle went to battle with Hewlett-Packard last year after it tried to stop making software for devices using its rival's Intel Itanium server chip. Oracle lost the suit—and HP is seeking a reported $4 billion in damages. Documents unearthed during the litigation process revealed Oracle EVP Keith Block's distrust in president Mark Hurd's hardware plan for the company, pertaining to its 2010 acquisition of Sun Microsystems. (Block eventually resigned.) But the mess didn't keep the tech giant from having a successful 2012. Oracle's software business propelled sales, helping profits rise 16.8% to $10 billion. -- C.L.
