Apple Again Ranked as World's Most Valuable Brand

[KTF]

What a confusing list, ATT is pretty much unanimously feared and was a finalist in Consumerists "worst company in america" contest, their branding actually hurts them. So is it a measure of how many people know the brand (which isnt the case with some of the weird tech brands so high), how much money each company makes, or something else? There is simply no possible way ATT has what is considered a positive brand, the only thing they are known for is sucking, Sony was actually booed by a whole auditorium when they announced the Vita would be exclusive to ATT.. booed!
If it is a ranking based on how the brand helps their business then this research company is a joke.

Sorry For You Pain!

I use Google Chrome on both my Mac and PC and have none of the issues you're experiences. I like Chrome's simple GUI. Odd that it would stop loading pages for you.

Yeah, it's probably just doing that for me. But the CPU and RAM usage is a real issue, and it lacks a lot of plugins that I want (as well as the "developer" mode that lets you change your user agent and such).

I have just the same opinion.
I think Microsoft and Windows sucks, and the only reason I have kept using them until now is because I thought that was the only option. After trying out Mac, I am starting to realize there are alternatives.

And yes, Facebook does seem to be anything special. I can easily see a competitor overtaking Facebook in the future. Although it has many many users. It is becoming easier and easier to connect everything. If it become easy to just transfer accounts to somewhere else, who knows what shifts could happen. I use Facebook, but only because I feel I have no alternative. If one came I would probably move just like moving to Mac.

I just don't use social networking at all. AIM (in iChat of course) is great for me, and I don't know about other people, but all of my friends use it.

I agree that Facebook is the only social networking option. I just see it as too much of a gimmick for someone to use it all their life. People are still not tired of AIM, but the people who use Facebook at my school are already getting tired of it.

Once FB loses users, FB will lose more users, which will cause FB to lose more users, which will cause FB to lose more users...

I don't know about this chart but....

Marlboro, MCDonald and Coca Cola shouldn't be on this chart if we want to call ourselves intelligent species.

How many people keep spending money on crap like this.
It doesn't fill their stomach, adds cancer to all organs, kills the braincells. etc.
All this chart shows is how incredible stupid we still are in the year 2012.

When will this society grow up?


(To be fair I'm still a smoker and drink Cola from time to time so yes I'm **** myself. Doesn't change the fact that I'm right.)

Coca Cola isn't that bad for you. It can be a problem if you are trying to lose weight, but there are plenty of things that are much worse. Anyway, Dr. Pepper and Pepsi taste better

I am sad that people still buy McDonald's and smoke cigarettes though. It's fine to get fast food occasionally (when you really need to), but Americans eat way too much of it. And McDonald's is gross anyway. If I wanted fast food, I'd get In N' Out!

If In 'n Out is anything like Steak 'n Shake over here, then I'd rather go to McDonalds. There's so much grease in their burgers, you practically have to siphon it off with your straw before you take a bite so you don't splatter it all over the person sitting across from you.

If you want the best fast food hamburger, you go to (some) Hardee's.

Uh, In n' Out like Steak n' Shake? That is absurd.
