Apple, Google World's Top Brands

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the i-wish-i-had-a-q-rating dept.

Anil Kandangath writes "BrandChannel readers have picked the top global brands for 2004. Apple is the leader, closely followed by Google. Arab-centric Al-Jazeera ranks fifth in global as well as Europe/Africa ratings. In regionwise ratings, Google tops North America, Ikea tops Europe/Africa, Sony tops Asia-pacific while Mexican cement brand Cemex tops Latin America An interesting fact is that Steve Jobs headed Apple is the top North American brand while his other venture Pixar comes fifth in the same zeitgeist."

    One of the great things (among others) is that the Mac uses the opengl graphics layer for gaming. Thankfully, so does Linux. Mac popularity is preventing opengl from dying on the vine as a "Linux-only API" that would have to compete directly with DirectX. *sigh of relief*

    Moderation confuses and infuriates me.
