Another subjective list and a another misunderstanding of the word 'innovation'.
Where are Philips who are pioneering high efficiency LED lighting, or TomTom that gave us the first decent GPS for cars? or Ubuntu that gave the world its first decent free operating system? or eBay, still the leader in global re-cycling... and I'm sure there are loads of companies that make amazing scientific and medical innovations that I am unaware of.

- tcarnell 14y agoor Intel (whose modern power saving CPU's are probably inside almost everyone laptops? or Toyota for making practical hybrid cars PS: Although I enjoy Google products, they haven't 'invented' a single one. Search engines? Email? not exactly a Google innovation.
- ekianjo 14y agoor ARM for making the best processors to go into mobile devices with low energy consumption?
