I mean, just look at the defense industry. With the possible exception of McDonald's, what highly visible corporations have been responsible for destroying entire countries?

You're an idiot.

What, no explanation? Did my humor go over your head?

It seems to me that the 10 most influential list is crap, no way Apple is the most influential company, but then again, it probably got people talking about CNN Money (which i think is who did this list), which is their main reason for doing a list, to create controversy and get people to tune in.

 

[ed21x]

my list:

1. Microsoft
2. Disney
3. McDonald's
4. Sony
5. Honda
6. Coca Cola

of course, if i was in any other country, the list would probably be much different

Yeah, I bet some 22-year-old, iPod-obsessed CNN intern dreamt up the list...

Then that intern asked himself/herself...

2) Where do I do all my Internet searches?
3) What kind of furniture do I have?
4) Where do I get my coffee?
5) Where do I get my REAL news?
6) What kind of car did I just buy?
7) What Diet drink is my desk right now?
8) What record label made the CD I'm listening to?
9) Where did I sell my Creative Zen yesterday?
10) What kind of cellphone do I carry?

That's a pretty horrible list if you ask me.

 

[toant103]

no Samsung?

 

[FlyLice]

So how does apple influence my life?

 

[DanTMWTMP]

Howabout Xerox, microsoft?

 

[b0mbrman]

"[Re: the iPod,] Apple's just done an extraordinary job with innovation, technology and design.

And marketing...don't forget marketing

 

[Cdubneeddeal]

Why didn't Trojan make it on the list?

 

[TitanDiddly]

No AOL?

That list makes no sense to me!

I'm guessing not only influential but most recognized.
think about it, the apple logo and the google logo are highly recognizable.

edit: okay n/m, they reviewed ad executives. now I"m confused.

 

[Mo0o]

No mcdonalds?

 

[neonerd]

what the fsck?

APPLE?? Who the hell wants an apple? :roll:
and microsoft isn't on there? Uh huh, sure...they have nothing to do with influencing the world. Oh, I forgot; just about the entire world RUNS on microsoft :roll:

LOL. I bet that list pisses off Bill Gates! His OS is on 90% of the world's computers and his biggest competitor tops the list...while Microsoft is nowhere to be found in the top 10!

werd.

 

This list and the article are crap.

Hmm I wonder how much of thier income is from thier Mac's, I would think Ipod is the bulk of thier income.

I believe it is about 25%.
