that list was crap anyway. Let's look at the top 5: 1) Apple. Apple have a reputation as being innovative but they've never really done anything innovative at all. What Apple is good at is taking other people's ideas and implementing them in an incredibly polished and user friendly fashion. Which is admirable, yes, but not innovative. Everything apple does is a polished copy of someone else. 2) Google innovated Search 15 years ago with PageRank but since then they haven't done anything 3) GE: Well I don't know what they could have done to belong here, so I won't comment 4) Toyota. OK, they released the Prius, and are putting effort into low fuel cars. REAL innovative. 5) Microsoft, Start your photocopiers! MS couldn't innovate their way out of a paper bag. Like Apple, they take other people's ideas and apply a bit less polish, then patent them and sue the person who originally came up with the idea. People throw around the word "innovative" without really thinking too much about it. None of these companies have really done anything innovative, large companies quite simply don't have the flexibility to take risks and innovate. All the innovation is done by smaller companies who aren't noticed enough to be on one of these lists, or single people who have a great idea.
Help! I'm stuck in a forum signature!
