Umm, that list is slightly off for discontinued names.

IBM...still around and in the business of development and business solutions.

Atari...still kicking making games for new systems as well as their revived old 2600.

Compaq...last I knew they still made computers

Polaroid...alive and now making not just digital cameras, but also LCD televisions.
