          Shows the problems with polls. What is "well known" will always beat out "what is good."

            Right. I like a number of those businesses. But I doubt I would call any of them the best.

                The cheesecake factory is even on the list? That place is an abomination.

                    That would be better than Taco Bell, at least in my book. Doesn't make either of them good!

                      I'd take Taco Bell over that any day.

                                  This age bracket, bigger than any other, is pushing companies to revamp marketing and products, including a lot of remedial education

                                      They didn't before. I was a senior manager at IBM without one. Apple has gone after me hard in the past and never needed one. Google, I would never consider so I have no experience.

                                      Shows how much those companies say that they need them publicly, but never really did internally.

                                          The janitor saw a UFO.

                                            Or, at least, justifies the distrust of the FBI. Catching people getting CP is good, but using that as an excuse to punish an unrelated entity? Clearly either abject incompetence, or competence in nefarious activities.
