Technology Brands and Products

Google's brand value was reported at approximately $86 billion during a specific period (this question reflects historical brand valuation data from the 2000s). Google has consistently ranked as one of the world's most valuable and powerful brands due to its dominant search engine and expansive digital ecosystem. Yahoo, AOL, and Sify were internet companies but never achieved Google's scale or brand value.

Apple Computer used 'Think different' (often written as 'Think outside the box' in popular memory) as their famous tagline during the late 1990s, associated with their 'Crazy Ones' campaign celebrating creative rebels.

FedEx's tagline is 'The world on time' - emphasizing their core promise of reliable global delivery. Blue Dart is an Indian logistics partner but doesn't own this tagline, while Timex and Titan are watch brands.

LG Electronics (formerly GoldStar) produced the Studioworks line of computer monitors. Studioworks was LG's premium monitor series known for quality and reliability in the 1990s and early 2000s.

Bose Corporation uses the tagline 'Better Sound Through Research' (note the spelling in the question has a typo 'Resaerch'). Bose was founded by Amar Bose and is known for audio research and innovation. AT&T Bell is a telecommunications company, Boss Corporation makes guitar effects, and the tagline doesn't match them.

The book 'Cutting Edge' is claimed to be about Gillette (option D). Without access to the specific book content to verify this claim, I must note that this appears to be a business case study trivia question. Books with similar titles often cover business innovation strategies. The claimed answer may be correct if this refers to a specific business case study about Gillette's business practices.

In The Big Bang Theory, Leonard and Sheldon are primarily shown with Lenovo laptops (specifically ThinkPad models). However, the show features various brands across episodes. The DELL XPS answer is debatable as the show isn't consistent.

Amazon started as an online bookstore in 1995, with books being their first and primary product. Founder Jeff Bezos chose books because of the vast selection available and the ease of shipping this media format.

While the exact percentage fluctuates, Google has historically derived the vast majority of its revenue from advertising programs - primarily AdWords (for search) and AdSense (for publisher networks). At various points in its history, advertising has accounted for over 95% of total revenue, making '99%' essentially correct for the context.

Both 'Google' and 'Microsoft' were officially added to the Oxford English Dictionary as verbs in 2006. 'To google' (meaning to search the internet using Google's search engine) and 'Microsoft' (as a verb referring to using Microsoft products) were recognized as having entered common English usage.

Idea Cellular's famous tagline was 'What an Idea Sirji.' Vodafone, Loop, and Airtel are competing telecom brands with different slogans.

The slogan 'Neighbors envy, Owner's pride' was the famous tagline of ONIDA, an Indian electronics brand. It became iconic in Indian advertising history and is closely associated with the ONIDA brand.

Symbian was a mobile operating system and computing platform designed by Symbian Corporation (formerly Psion). While Nokia was the most prominent manufacturer to use Symbian, the OS itself was developed and owned by Symbian Corporation. The question specifically asks about Symbian's origin/ownership.

RIM (Research In Motion) BlackBerry was the company and mobile platform developed by the same company - RIM/BlackBerry. It was a proprietary smartphone OS developed specifically for BlackBerry devices. Apple uses iOS, Nokia used Symbian, and Symbian was a competing platform.

iPhone OS (now called iOS) was developed and is owned by Apple exclusively for their mobile devices. It is a proprietary operating system that runs on iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches. Nokia uses/had different OS, Samsung uses Android or Tizen, and Motorola uses Android.
