      • I'm amazed that IBM is in the top ten, or for that matter that they are still making money. Maybe I just read too much Robert Cringely.

          They do a lot of stuff that you will never hear about.

            That's part of the reason why I'm surprised they rank high in "branding". They don't really have any public facing popular products. I believe most of their profits now come from enterprise services/consulting and such.

            I did see that the number one criteria in the ranking methodology is profits, so that goes a long way towards their ranking. They also did have the computer on Jeopardy. Maybe that's worth something.

              If Apple and Coke were to merge, they could take over the planet. Can you imagine a Mac that dispenses Vanilla Coke? I would never, ever leave my desk.

                At one time they had that pepsi guy running the company. It wasn't good.

                    I have a retractable cup holder on my computer. Sometimes, when installing a new program, I have to remove the cup and put a dvd or cd in the cup holder.

                    • Next iphone will come in various sizes, including a 5-inch model.

                      Multiple reports have suggested that Apple is working on both a larger iPhone and a larger iPad. ET News suggests that a larger iPhone will be at least 5 inches, in line with a September report from The Wall Street Journal indicating that Apple was experimenting with a number of screen sizes from 4.8 inches to 6 inches.

                          • A larger tablet?

                            They should call it the Maxi Pad.
