Study: Apple still world's top brand

IBM is making money out of entire companies through IT infrastractures. They were there first and it's hard to migrate IT stuff with your business on-going so it's kind of a trap that companies can't escape. They have to continue using IBM stuff or their Info Systems will be f***ed up.

By the way, one reason why some companies are not on the top of the list (such as Samsung and some Big Oil companies) is that the measure used was not based on actual company value. Some companies are really big (like Exxon) but a big chunck of their worth is in their infrastructures.

Like if it's between two guys, one earning $1M/year and has stocks worth $20M, another earning $100k/year and owns a house worth $25M. Though the 2nd guy's income is lower than the first, he is still richer in true value and the first guy has some more years to catch up.

It's BRAND value, not company.

The term "grow" in this article means obtaining more revenue, not how many people use the company's products.
If McDonalds sold their burgers cheaper than Burger King and had to give some of the profit to the companies who were helping McDonalds make their burgers, while Burger King made their own burgers, jacked up the price, and made everyone believe it was better (when in reality, McDonalds would be better), who would earn more revenue?
It's quite simple. This does not mean anything. We all know that Apple earns more than Google and we've known it for a while.
