Hints from the comments section of that site:

A - Computer related company brand. think of a store where you can buy film.
B - Computer related brand again - seems like the guy’s in the IT business… - The name’s an acronym.
C - surely one of the top 5 most well-known brands, one that has two registered official names - not a common feature…
D - Another one of the most popular brands of the planet - this time it’s sports
E - The name is not the least specific about a certain part of a vehicle
F - As I said before: don’t worry!
G - I could think of almost 750 famous ways from above to hint at this…
H - The chick’s from the fashion business…
I - Don’t be small about this, go large and think!
J - A sacred place for them karate guys
K - Not to be confused with the sports shoes you’re wearing down the street - it’s much more delicious…
L - Check your butt, a fair chance that you’re gonna know this one then.
M - It’s gonna flash into your mind sooner or later, be sure…
N - see “D”…
O - how big is the biggest number you know? If you don’t know, check it with a search engine, like yahoo, hotbot…
P - Computer world again. Sounds just like a once-mighty, now nonexisting car company thought of making it into the repro-business.
Q - Think of neatly and space-sparingly packed hardware.
R - Professor Salt would have never made it…
S - Sounds like it, still not a woman’s name, but rather sporty.
T - London and New York has the two most famous.
U - Howerver hard they try, they won’t make me belive sweets could ever score in a basketball game - especially not this spectacular…
V - His Master’s voice intact.
X - Little known fact that the company started with designing and producing aeroplanes, hence the very characteristic and easy-to-identify blue-white logo symbolizing the moving propellers of a plane.
X - The letter woul look much easier to identify printed out, not blurred like it is now.
Y - the company that gave us the pedestrian musician.
Z - Not German, as the name would imply, but surely one of the most profiting providers of Hollywood…

WARNING: OBVIOUS HINTS AHEAD
(highlight to reveal hints)

A - made the acrobat reader
B - three-letter-long name, computer company
C - if you can’t get this one alone, give up now. Soda pop? Pepsi’s archrival?
D - shoe company. N’s biggest competitor.
E - they made my washing machine. they also make refrigerators and stuff. in general, they make electric things.
F - obscure as hell, I’ve never heard of them, so I’ll say the name is “no miedo” in spanish. type that into a translator.
G - the only plane-building company you’ve heard of if you’re not employed as an air traffic controller.
H - again, obscure. definitely not a major corporation. Two words. I like one of the above hints… [satan’s home] + [group that made MM-bop]. Stick a “Y” on the end of the first word and change the spelling of the second.
I - major fast food chain known for the whopper.
J - named for a mountain in japan.
K - this shoe crap is confusing everyone. It’s a candybar, whose name sounds like a TYPE OF FOOTWEAR (sandal, high-heel, etc), not a brand.
L - type “jeans” into google.
M - they make the most popular flash player on the internet.
N - famed for their sweatshops-I mean-good shoes. That totally aren’t made by enslaved asian eight-year-olds.
O - Almost everyone’s homepage. big search engine. Named after a big number.
P - two letters long and P is the second one, so just keep sticking letters in front of P till it works. they build computers.
Q - look up “presario” like some other guy inferred.
R - soda. it’s brown, um, in a brown can…something medical…really, it’s obvious.
S - DAMN YOU LETTER S, YOU #%^KING PIECE OF &$(@
T - a news magazine who declares a “man of the year” every year. Hitler was once their man of the year, so they’re pretty bad at it. I mean, that was the second worse choice they made next to George W. Bush as man of the year.
U - they make sweet rings of fried dough that you dip in coffee.
V - Name means “a person who hasn’t had sex”.
W - really expensive car brand.
X - they make copy/fax machines. Starts with and ends with X.
Y - ___y playstation
Z - think of every company you know that makes ketchup. Yeah, you know how you thought of only one company? well it’s that one.
