It's great to see Apple recognized for their creativity and products, but the "being green" quality is certainly an area where Apple can improve on. The fact is that although they offer clean and simple products, their components and architecture make them very unsafe in some cases environmentally. It's not like Apple's alone, but they could certainly do better environmentally. Leading an industry revolution could cost more but bring even greater praise and business to Apple, a route they should certainly consider.
It's certainly not innovation :rolleyes:
As for DRM giving them a bad name, I don't see the problem. First off, studies show that, on average, less than 5% people's music libraries are made up of DRM'd music. People buy from iTunes for the conveinence, if you're willing to wait then most people just buy the cd from Amazon marketplace. You have to give up something for getting instant gratification.

I'm glad general electric got #1, they are a great company, and they've been around for such a long time...
While it's nice to see Apple get some recognition, the fact that Microsoft is on the list too makes me question the criteria for admiration.
It's certainly not innovation :rolleyes:
Wow man, that's right. I never thought about that. Apple is first in my list and MS is nowhere in that list. The only thing that I like about MS and Windows is the media center. After that there is nothing.:D
Starbucks #1? That deserves a big 'o Whiskey Tango Foxtrot.
Toyota on the other hand. Yah. I would like to work for Toyota. I kinda hope they buy the Ford plant that is closing here in St. Paul.

I agree...especially since I just started working for them.
