Yes, Microsoft, Google, Apple for promoting closed ecosystems and invading privacy; and a special mention of Yahoo! for the Chinese dissident issue a few years ago. But I do like some of their products on their own merits.

You missed out an "Other" option, as I do dislike one company, but they're not on the list: Monster.

I dislike Samsung because of the way they work. They're a chaotic company with a vision that changes with every product introduction.

I'm also starting to dislike Microsoft. The last few years it looked like they were moving to extremely solid, well thought-out products that were very good in almost every way (Windows 7, Office 2010, ...) but I really don't like the way they're going now and it's causing me to want to have as little as possible to do with them. But since there are no good alternatives I'm not ditching Windows 7 and Office 2010. But no more Microsoft online services for me, aside Skype.

Can't really hate a company, I can hate a product through bad experience or not agree with business practice. As long as the company does not affect me negatively I have no reason for hate.

at the moment I think MS and the whole Metro thing ugly and weird but that's just my opinion. I don't like it so I just wont buy it.

Nope. However if you want to add RamBus and SCO to that list I'll change my vote.

Second, if I nit-picked, I would have more than one company in mind and your polling only allows a single selection.
Sadly I couldn't figure it so that if you vote "No" everything else is disabled so I had to do it like this.

I picked the top ten technology companies. I missed Cisco, Asus, etc but the poll would be too huge.

I dislike apple for being so draconian with their mobile devices in regards to.

1. Music transferring
2. Photo sharing
3. File exploring ( You can use a smartphone as portable USB, how come blackberry, winpho 8 and android can)

I HATE all other brands, samsung, HTC, sony for not being able to keep up in terms of audio quality with apple... they are focusing too much on Megapixels.

I completely agree. Apple has never been for audio quality.
