Sometimes a list is just a list!!

The September 19 2005 issue of Information Week magazine has the 17th annual 500 Top Innovators in technology. This one managed to get me to open it while I was "in a meeting". I immediately flip to the alphabetical list and look to see where my favorites all landed. A's,....Amgen, Applied Materials, AT&T... WAIT ... Houston we have a problem and we're not even in the B's. NO APPLE COMPUTER? WHAT!! Admitedly my blood flows through Cupertino, but why is Apple not listed as one of the top innovators? . No GOOGLE, or even YAHOO..??

Top 5 reasons why a company wouldn't make the Info Week Magazine top 500 innovators list:

5) If your company is a leader in innovating things like online music and holds a 70% market share in that arena for hardware and songs sold.
4) If your company is the #1 or #2 portal on the planet offering new products every 30 days.
3) If your company is makes it cheaper, better and faster to do ANYTHING!
2) If your company was started in a garage and thumbed it's nose at corporate bean counters, and then proved them wrong.
1) If your company doesn't advertise in Info Week.

THAT WAS SARCASM FOR THOSE USING WEB SPIDERS!!
