Looking at the networks contained therein, that looks like: 939400  
addresses and no /8s.
The largest block is Microsoft Corp MICROSOFT-BBLK (NET-157-54-0-0-1)  
157.54.0.0 - 157.60.255.255
which doesn't appear to be bit-aligned, but, looks like:

157.54.0.0/15
157.56.0.0/14

They also have a couple of /16s and a /14.  There are a couple of  
other large non-aligned ranges,
and the rest appear to be smaller blocks.

The block Microsoft Corp MICROSOFT-IPV6-BLK (NET6-2001-4898-1)  
2001:4898:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000 -  
2001:4898:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF
is specifically not included in the calculations above, but, is a /32  
of IPv6 space.

HP has a large number of Org IDs:
Hewlett Packard (HEWLET-5)
Hewlett Packard (HEWLET-6)
Hewlett Packard (HEWLET-1)
Hewlett Packard (HEWLET-13)
Hewlett Packard (HEWLET-16)
HEWLETT PACKARD (HEWLET-21)
Hewlett Packard (HEWLET-24)
Hewlett Packard (HEWLET-27)
Hewlett Packard (HEWLET-28)
Hewlett Packard (HEWLET-29)
hewlett packard (HEWLET-31)
HEWLETT PACKARD (HEWLET-33)
HEWLETT PACKARD (HEWLE-10)
Hewlett Packard (HEWLE-16)
HEWLETT PACKARD - BRS (HPB-6)
Hewlett Packard / COMPAQ (HEWLE-25)
Hewlett Packard Co. (HEWLET-3)
Hewlett Packard Company (HEWLET-25)
HEWLETT PACKARD COMPANY (HEWLE-13)
HEWLETT PACKARD COMPANY (HEWLE-15)
Hewlett Packard OKI Printed Circuit (HPOPC)
HEWLETT PACKARD-VERIFONE (HEWLET-32)
Hewlett packard/Danzas AEI (HPA-6)
Hewlett Packard Company  (AI2-ORG-ARIN)     ipaddr at hp.com  
+1-800-524-7638

Which makes it a bit more challenging to indentify all of their space.

However, looking through all of the blocks which are returned from  
whois -h whois.arin.net 'hewlett',
I do not see any /8s listed.

Trying to look at Apple is even worse...

Apple Computer (APPLEC-13)
Apple Computer (APPLEC-16)
APPLE COMPUTER (APPLE-6)
APPLE COMPUTER (APPLE-7)
APPLE COMPUTER (APPLE-152)
APPLE COMPUTER (APPLE-12)

APPLE COMPUTER (APPLE-146)
Apple Computer, Inc (APPLEC-14)
Apple Computer, Inc. (APPLEC-3)
Apple Computer, Inc. (APPLEC-2)
Apple Computer, Inc. (APPLEC-4)

However, looking at the blocks returned by whois -h whois.arin.net  
'apple',
I also do not see a single /8 listed.
