Really creative, innovative, and open source. They took their business and work style to another level.
Google is like the Disney of animated movies.
Apple Inc. is a global technology company that specializes in consumer electronics, software, and services. Known for its innovative products such as the iPhone, iPad, and Mac computers, it is one of the world's most valuable companies. Apple is the best. They pioneered a lot of things that are now standards. Take iPods, for example. Apple didn't invent music players, but they made them really popular. Or iPhones: the latest phones before the iPhone were BlackBerrys and Nokias, which are pretty outdated these days.
When Apple released the iPhone, people bought it in droves. It was so popular that everyone else started making phones similar to Apple's. Without modern phones, we wouldn't have a lot of features, like mobile VPN services.
Fun fact: Apple made their first computer around 10 years before Microsoft made their first computer, if you count LisaOS.
Microsoft Corporation is a technology company with a broad range of products and services including operating systems, office software, and cloud computing solutions. Its flagship products, Windows and Office, have become standards in personal and professional computing environments. Microsoft has evolved from DOS to Windows 3.1, and since then, has continued to make impressive leaps all the way to Windows 10 and beyond. This progression is why they are the best in computer technology for actual use.
C++ remains one of the most popular programming languages and still leads the way in 2020. Apple lacks a comparable coding environment, which makes it pale in comparison. Windows is prompt and responsive, so there's no reason to consider switching to Apple anytime soon. Much love for Microsoft despite the recent shift in public opinion toward its competitors.
The Coca-Cola Company is a multinational beverage corporation incorporated under Delaware's General Corporation Law and headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia. Best known for its flagship product Coca-Cola, the company offers over 500 brands in more than 200 countries and territories. People seem to forget that Coca-Cola is the reason why we have the classic Santa Claus image: the plump, jolly old man with the big white beard. There are few brands that have had such a huge cultural impact the way Coca-Cola has.
I'd have to say, sitting on the couch with an iPod or iPad wouldn't be the same without a Coke.
Everywhere, in every country, there's Coca-Cola.
Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. is a South Korean multinational electronics corporation that specializes in a wide range of consumer and industry electronics, including appliances, digital media devices, semiconductors, memory chips, and integrated systems. It has become a major player in the global electronics market, noted for its innovation and product development. The best. Much better than other electronics companies.
Sony Corporation is a Japanese multinational conglomerate corporation that operates in diverse sectors, including electronics, gaming, entertainment, and financial services. Its PlayStation brand is among the leading gaming consoles globally, and its electronics segment is renowned for quality and innovation. Best televisions, decent phones, decent gaming consoles, decent laptops.
Class and quality, so I am well pleased with my Sony products.
The Walt Disney Company is an American diversified multinational mass media and entertainment conglomerate headquartered at the Walt Disney Studios complex in Burbank, California. Disney is famous for its influence in the field of entertainment during the 20th century, with its creation of some of the world's most famous film productions and theme parks. Come on! This should be in the top three! They have Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, Fox, Disney+, Disney World, Disneyland, Aulani Beach Resort, Disney Cruise, Shop Disney, Disney Travel, Disney Paris, Tokyo Disney, Hong Kong Disney, and Shanghai Disney. Is there anything else Disney needs?
Some of their stuff is so overpriced that it's truly ridiculous! However, most of the children's movies and shows are very loved, so Disney deserves some respect for that.
Such an amazing company. Walt Disney is so interesting, and this company is a good role model for all companies.
Nintendo Co., Ltd. is a Japanese multinational consumer electronics and video game company. Renowned for creating some of the most iconic video game franchises, such as Mario, The Legend of Zelda, and Pokémon, Nintendo continues to innovate in the gaming industry with consoles like the Switch. Nintendo is awesome. They make great video games like Super Mario Bros, The Legend of Zelda, Metroid, Kirby, Star Fox, Pokemon, Fire Emblem, Animal Crossing, and Super Smash Bros, among others. They all have great plots and characters that are very memorable. Don't forget some of the awesome Nintendo music. Once you hear it, it'll stay in your head.
Nintendo saved the entire gaming industry and has made more absolutely incredible video games than any other company. They've brought everyone around the world so many fond memories and joy and are absolutely one of the best companies of all time!
Amazon.com, Inc. is an American multinational technology company which focuses on e-commerce, cloud computing, digital streaming, and artificial intelligence. It is considered one of the Big Four technology companies, significantly influencing retail, entertainment, and technology sectors worldwide. Number 34, come on, people. Amazon is awesome! They offer exactly what you want at a cheaper price than other stores. It's also like eBay, where you can sell your own stuff. They are also nice to their employees, paying their warehouse workers $12 an hour, which is much better than other companies. I'm looking at you, Walmart!
This should be number 1! 1. It's better than Google, Apple, Coca-Cola, Microsoft, McDonald's, Dell, and you get the idea. 2. It has produced more things than Apple.
This should be way higher. While all these companies manufacture products, Amazon not only sells them but also makes their own.
Marvel Entertainment, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Walt Disney Company, is known for its vast universe of superheroes such as Spider-Man, the X-Men, and the Avengers. Through comic books, movies, TV shows, and merchandise, Marvel continues to expand its legacy and influence in pop culture.
