Britain’s top brand now Google not Microsoft

Today saw the YouGov survey published that shows Britain’s top super brands and the premier spot held by Microsoft previously has been replaced by another brand.

That’s right; Google has overtaken Microsoft and holds the first place position in a list of 500 brands. Google started out with the aim to keep search simple and do it the best. This is just what they have done.

Now days Google is much more than just a search engine, they are a Global brand that is expanding into many areas including the Android open source mobile OS.

In 2007 we saw Google come third, but 2008 is another year and they have beaten the likes of Royal Doulton, British Airways, the BBC and Mercedes-Benz.

Surprisingly, Apple narrowly missed a place in the top 10 even after its launch of the iPhone and Touch. Apple products are loved by their users for the style and security, but this is not enough to even make the top 10.

Sony did well by taking 10th place, Nike could have been higher than ninth, Bosch surprised us at eighth and BMW also did well with seventh.

This year Microsoft will have to settle for second place but with Google continuing its dominance, it seems clear it’s a brand that people trust.

Apple Patent for digital fitness companion system which works differently for each user

Apple are always the first to patent something and they are on the ball with this one, their new plan is to develop a fully fledged digital fitness companion system based around their Apple iPhone and iPod Touch which is basically aimed at helping people live a healthier lifestyle.

The pictures we have here of the patent filing are just a couple from the many that AppleInsider have which you can see if you click the source link below. The patent filings are showing many ideas for the system and what it will be capable of including rewards tracker, component for group activities, iTunes-like software application, hardware-based heart rate and other sensors.

It is in simple terms a much more advanced version of the Nike + iPod system, this new system from Apple will actually “interview” the user within the application to find out exactly what their fitness goals are like fitness interests (such as jogging, yoga and swimming), desired activity level, desired workout schedule, weight goals etc.

The lifestyle companion system will also interview the user about non-health related topics like identity, spirituality, financial condition, relationships, career, religion, interests, hobbies, environment and many other things.

Once the interview is over and the process is completed the lifestyle companion systems software will create a workout regiment based around their feedback on goals and fitness interests, this will be fantastic because it will be different for each individual.

Would you choose the Nike Air Max 90 Lime Sneakers?

On a personal note these Nike Air Max 90 Lime sneakers are just ugly and not ones I would personally choose but hey who am I, ok these OG colors on classic kicks look ok in a way and with JD Sports getting their own exclusives seem to be heading in the right direction.

So being $170USD (£84.99) I say they are a little too expensive but if you are a true Nike lover then these might be just what you are looking for, seems like they are only available to those in the UK.
