    Funny I thought the same! . Women and/or stupid! Since when has the Tate Modern been 'cool'. It shows nothing but modern crap (literally) that is showcased as the next big art piece before being brushed up by the on site cleaners, mistaking it for...rubbish!

    If most of that list is "cool" I'm happy being an uncool geek, thanks.

    Mini? Really?

    OK, the old one is exceptionally 'cool' but if they're referring to the modern brand then WTF have they been smoking.

    I saw a convertible mini today and ducked so there was less chance I'd be seen in same immediate area.

    Its funny, most of those brands are synonimous in my mind with, as this is a family friendly forum, shall we say a common insult relating to male genitalia.

    I agree with a lot of the entries, but Google?

    Google have got to be one of the least cool companies out there - narrowly ahead of Microsoft. Even with that in mind, at least Microsoft have the Xbox brand.
