蘋果公司
IT behemoth Apple started out as Apple Computers inc in 1976, the brainchild of friends Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne. The company was founded in the garage of Jobs' California home and its simple logo was a reference to Isaac Newton's gravity brainstorm. Five decades on, Apple's macs, iPods, iPads and iPhones are must-have products and the company is worth a breathtaking $600billion。
IT產(chǎn)業(yè)巨頭蘋果公司最初叫蘋果電腦公司,于1976年由Steve Jobs、Steve Wozniak 與Ronald Wayn三人共同創(chuàng)立。這家公司最早建立于Jobs位于加州家中的倉庫里,而且它最初的商標(biāo)參考了牛頓對于地心引力的思考。50年之后,蘋果公司的Mac電腦、iPod播放器、iPad平板電腦和iPhone手機(jī)現(xiàn)在成為了必須擁有的產(chǎn)品,而公司自身的價(jià)值也高達(dá)令人驚嘆的6千億美金。

佳能
The camera giant was founded in Japan in 1934, as Kwanon - named after the Buddhist goddess of mercy. The following year it rebranded as Canon to coincide with the launch of its first ever 35mm camera. Exactly half a century later, the company launched its first digital camera. In 2012, Canon enjoys a 20 per cent share of the digital camera market, offering hundreds of models for amateurs to professionals. In 2007 alone, the company sold more than 25 million cameras, more than any other brand。

火狐
The Mozilla project was created in 1998 with the release of the Netscape browser suite source code. Within the first year, new community members from around the world had already contributed new functionality. After several years of development, Mozilla 1.0 was released in 2002. By this point, over 90% of Internet users were browsing with Internet Explorer. Not many people noticed at the time, but the first version of Phoenix (a bird reborn in flames) - later renamed Firefox - was also released by Mozilla community members that year。

柯達(dá)
With the slogan 'you press the button, we do the rest', George Eastman put the first simple camera into the hands of a world of consumers in 1888. From its offices in Rochester, New York. After years of domination in the world of photography, it failed to gain a foothold in the digital era and filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in January this year。
伴隨著那句著名的廣告語“你只需按快門,其余的我們來做”,創(chuàng)始人George Eastma于1888年將第一個(gè)傻瓜照相機(jī)送到了普通人的手中。然而在對世界攝影產(chǎn)業(yè)數(shù)年的統(tǒng)治之后,它沒能在數(shù)字時(shí)代奪得一席之地,并在今天的1月份申請了破產(chǎn)保護(hù)。

樂高玩具
In 1932, master carpenter Ole Kirk Christiansen made wooden toys, stepladders and ironing boards in his small shop in Billund, Denmark. It wasn't until two years later that the business took the name of Lego, which came from the Danish words 'LEg GOdt' meaning 'play well'。
