You mean after Apple?

Who knows anymore? I used to like RCA. I admired their product design and integration. But in recent years their stuff have become breakdown-prone crap. I also liked Chrysler, but they're not really the same since they got sold to the kr-- uh, Germans. ;)

My, those sound tasty. What are the best flavors?


Aside from Apple, some of my favorite brands are:

Arc Teryx (outdoor gear; very pricey but incredible quality and just all-around slick)

MSR (more outdoor gear - backpacking stoves, filters, tents. These items must be high quality since your survival depends on them! I have their Sidewinder tent, Pocket Rocket stove, MiniWorks filter, hydration bladder, and a cookset. Nothing's ever failed me yet, and it's all been through a lot!)

Western Mountaineering (Awesome down sleeping bags.)

Moosejaw (very cool mountaineering store here in Michigan)

I guess the only brands I really care much about are outdoor gear brands! :)

[yg17]

Obviously, Apple. Others:

Hyundai: Great, cheap cars. My family owns 3 and we cant complain
Lotus: The Elise is sex on wheels
Pioneer: Great car audio equipment
Sirius: Nationwide uncensored radio, can't get much better? Can't wait for Howard Stern in 06
Rockstar: It would be a boring world without GTA
Sony: Their computers suck, but gotta love the PS2 and PS3
Logitech: Great mice. Wouldn't own anything besides Logitech
Target: As an employee, I hate my job and can't stand my managers, and some of the behind the scenes stuff can be questionable at times. But as a shopper, it's a nice alternative to the always trashy never classy Wal-Mart.
Circuit City: I always try to buy electronics there. I'm never high pressured for warranties or any of that crap. Unlike Best Buy employees, who's goal in life is to sell me an extended warranty on a 15 dollar item.

[Nezza]

Apple - why else would I be here?
Samsung - Excellent quality for a reasonable price, pay attention Sony.
Adidas - Football boots.
Ducati - Motorcycles
Honda - Ditto
Mathmos - 2nd coolest company on Earth :)
Miramax Studios - Only Hollywood company that seems to take a risk these days.

[kiwi-in-uk]

Apple
Canon
Nikon
Sony (never had a problem)
HSBC (UK)

Because they do what they claim, they are easy to use, and in my experience they have all been reliable.

Holden (Australia)
Ford (Australia)

Both of them - for making competent, competitively priced cars that suit rural Australia.

Feel Good Drinks co. (sorta like Innocent but not)
Ford
Toshiba
Gibson
Logitech for their mice
Casio for their G-Shock watches. would never use anything other than a G-Shock :) maybe that new watch -forgot its name :D - that costs like £20,000 and is the toughest watch in the world. hm

gotta love those :) had a few of those from Boots in their £2.99 meal deals. I really love how the UK is getting obsessed with food and drinks without crappy chemicals in. wonder if Jamie Oliver is to blame?
i tell ya... cold chicken and bacon sandwich, peach and apricot Innocent drink and either a chocolate brownie or those heavenly milky shortbreads. oh god. i might go into town and get that :D

[Abstract]

You guys keep jogging my memory:

Apple
Sony (some things)
Sony-Ericsson
Samsung
Canon
Nintendo
Google

Hyundai (I have one, and apparently, there's lots of brand loyalty for these :) )
Honda/Acura
BMW, Volvo, Nissan

Ikea
Muji
Birkenstocks
Bluenotes
New Balance
Mountain Equipment Co-op (MEC) (great quality outdoor stuff for cheap...and it's Canadian. :) )
Arcteryx (Got a top-of-the-line red Alpha SV.....amazing. They're made entirely in Vancouver)
Porter Bags (yes, I'm a straight guy, but bags are useful for guys too, damnit!:o )

Coke
Pringles
Arnotts TimTams ;)
Guinness
Leffe Brun

****All those fruit drink companies, including Innocent, Feel Good, and all the smoothie places, are just taking advantage of your health concerns, making you think that it costs heaps to drink healthily. Go to many places in the world, like Taipei for example, and you can get a fresh fruit juice(where they take the fruit, ice, blend it, and serve....nothing more) for around $0.25 to $1, and it's not ONLY because the economy is different. They also don't include a lot of yoghurts and other fillers into it. I get charged $4 USD at my local smoothie place, and now I wonder why it's so expensive. :confused: It's juice with some milk and yoghurt/ice, and their fruit juice isn't even fresh fruits......its sweetened preserved fruits mixed with sugary syrup. The only thing that's fresh is the banana they always add. No reason to charge so much for not-so-fresh, unnatural fruit juice. :rolleyes:

[jsalzer]

This will be so much easier than the "brands you hate" thread.

Apple+FileMaker - for making the best dern hardware and software

Hershey's - Now that's chocolate!
Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing (3M)+Imation - Quality products
Montgomery Ward's (their own branded stuff were built like tanks)
Ragu - Yum!
S.C. Johnson Wax - Lemon Pledge still rocks after all these years.
Shell - Always clean, always friendly
UPS - for putting cute men in shorts - and for making package tracking easy and fun.
Zenith - Now they know how to design a remote control!

I pause for thought when I see these brands:


Apple - just to feel like a band-wagon rider
Google - simplicity in their products
John Lewis - best co-operative out there
Amnesty & Oxfam - no real need to explain

[Henri Gaudier]

Yamaha- I love it all. ATV's, motorcycles, snowmobiles, audio equipment, musical instruments, etc

Apple- Computers and the iPod.

Bose- Speakers, Wave Radio, and my noise cancelling headphones

Abercrombie- Fun casual clothes

Eddie Bauer- Clothes for work and outdoors activities

Kenmore Appliances- They are well built and last forever!

Ford Motor Company- If you want to see a well produced documentary series check out www.fordboldmoves.com If you ever wondered what the auto industry was like behind closed doors, you will get to see it here. They are at Episode 9 and have new episodes weekly. It would be cool to see inside Apple like this, but I know they would never allow it.

[63dot]

Obviously, Apple. Others:


Lotus: The Elise is sex on wheels



yes, apple, that's why i joined macrumors

but i just saw a lotus elise for the first time tonight...wow...and the stats on the thing are amazing, and especially the price (base 43k) usd

and i thought the dodge viper or the acura nsx were the best sportscars dollar for dollar, and while a version of the viper is the fastest car in the world that is street legal, and the nsx keeps up with cars three times its price, they are still in the neighborhood of two times more expensive than the elise

lotus, very well done

[63dot]

Pabst Blue Ribbon
Fender

for the same reason i like the lotus...good product for money...i think pabst is actually not all that bad for it's very low cost...i don't think the more expensive coors or budweiser are all that much different, or better

of course, i like anchor steam or guinness far better, but those beers are in different price categoy altogether

...

fender, the amercian standard series, which is about their midline product line, is a great instrument and far less expensive than all its competitors' midline electric guitars

gibson's studio series, japanese made ibanezes, and esp standard series guitars, though they are very nice, and companies' midline offerings, are a few hundred dollars higher than fender's flagship standbys, the stratocaster and telecaster

and some guitars, like parker, tom anderson, and paul reed smith are priced so high it so far out of reach of most musicians and in a different category, much like anchor steam and guinness, are in a different category to pabst and not fair comparing

...

oh, and tutima automatic and manual watches...they are a great deal for the money and comparable to swiss watches that are twice as expensive but simply don't have the name like omega and rolex

[Killyp]

Just to name a few:
Bang & Olufsen


You have sense ;)


For me it would be:

HiFi/AV - Bang & Olufsen
Computers -Apple
Recording Label -Warp Records
Watches - Ted Baker
General Clothes - Animal
Footwear - K-Swiss
MP3 players - B&O / Apple (can't decide!)
Furniture - Presotto / Rolf Benz
Cars - Audi / Aston Martin
Phones - Bang & Olufsen (of course)
Mobile Phones - B&O / Sony Ericcson
Shades - Maui Jim
Microphones - Blue
(mixing) Desks - Yamaha
Sound Interfaces - Focusrite
Preamps - Focusrite
Synths - Moog (Voyager - wwwoaw!)
Studio Effects - Moog (Moogerfooger of course :P)
Everything else in a studio - Behringer


Hmmm there's quite a few more I could think of, but not right now...
