AOL (why in the world do people still use it, no longer market leader)
Windows (for server usage only, but not sure if you consider them market leader)
Ipod (good user interface, sound quality lacking)
Anything that uses memory stick
ViewSonic monitors (if you consider it "market leader")
Yahoo map, mail, and search engine (Google beat it in every single category)
Trico wiper blade, Fram oil filter, Autolite spark plugs, Raybesto brake pads, Gate belts and hoses, for the obvious reasons (low quality).

Post cereal - too high of an insect particle count in their cereal. This was told to me some time ago by my girlfriend who was a summer student working for the FDA. Kelloggs is better. The sanitation in each plant seen during visits reflected these findings.
For other stuff I read Consumer Reports and look at the repair history. Features don't mean much if the unit is prone to crap out on you.
That is probably true, but if you look at their stuff they have more cereals with nuts and dried fruit than Kelloggs (all starch with new flavor/marketting). I think you will find more parasite in real crab meat than immitation crab meat in the same theory, but that doesn't means people prefer immitation crab meat.
