Google (GOOGL, Tech30) shares are rising in extending trading, despite falling short of analysts' expectations.

And Juniper Networks (JNPR) shares are jumping -- up nearly 7% -- after the firm's latest earnings surpassed market expectations.

Meanwhile, it's worth watching trading in Apple (AAPL, Tech30) Friday. The company is beginning to deliver its new Apple Watches today. Some customers are going to have to wait longer for their watches.
