Logo Evolution 01.  Apple It is one of the biggest consumer electronics and Software Company, best known for products like Macintosh, iPod and iphone. Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, and Ronald Wayne had together setup Apple in 1976, to sell their hand-built computer Apple I. They had offered their product to HP first but were declined by them. I think HP would still be regretting this today. The road to success wasn’t easy for Apple, and Wayne liquidated his share in the company for a mere $ 800.

People always argued about these things (and probably always will). Some say the most important factor is market because team and product can always change, but if the market and the tailwinds are big enough, a company can make many mistakes and thrive. Others argue for team because a great team in a mediocre market will chan...

Is no place safe from ads? Just when you thought you'd seen it all, brothers Jordan and Bryan Silverman have turned the male penchant for bathroom reading into a new business.

His remarks are likely to raise eyebrows among Microsoft’s customers. Mr Gates helped to grow the US company into one of the world’s biggest technology businesses by charging considerable sums for its Windows software, and recently ruffled feathers with a series of hefty price rises. Speaking to an audience full of sheikhs and princes, he also called for a more business-like approach to charitable donations, focusing on return on investment o...
