Lets say that we don't all kill ourselves, and instead get our shit together as a species. What are going to be the pinnacles of modern-day companies that will be around when were probably travelling the stars? I'm going to say Lego. No matter what there will always be demand for physical building toys and lets face it, Lego makes the best.
Google, world's most popular search engine, and creator of some of the most useful programs/innovations.
Nintendo hands down. They already have a century going for them
watchmaker companies like Omega, or military/aerospace companies like Lockheed. There's always a demand for that stuff. Any other company involved in aerospace/space (think nasa, space-x, virgin, etc.) will most certainly dissolve or fuse into something else.
Big names in the musical industry like Fender, but likely also newer ones like Numark.
I want to say ARM, but it's probably gone in less than a tenth of that time. Valve too I would imagine. Boxit. People never stop shashing their shit (or themselves) into those. Might not exist in it's current exact form, but the need for something like that will probably still be there in 1000 years.
McDonald's or at least their food will
Microsoft in terms of OS production. They'll still exist far in the future but i think but there will be more competitors in the OS scene in the future hopefully.
Coca-Cola for sure
I'm gonna say Beretta. If we're still around in 1000 years then we're still going to be killing things in 1000 years, and so far Beretta has done a fairly good job of keeping up with the times despite rapidly approaching the age of 500.
Not oil companies :v: [editline]26th December 2014[/editline] But yeah Coke will be here forever. It's rooted too deeply in our global culture to just disappear
It's been around for 648 years. [t]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/3/37/Stella_Artois_logo.svg/1156px-Stella_Artois_logo.svg.png[/t]
To contradict OP, I don't really see Lego staying due to the way electronics are going, parents might just buy building games like Minecraft for their kids instead of having to deal with cleaning up lego pieces and packing them up

facepunch studios on the forum racism against minorities will turn into racism against aliens.
It's difficult to say. I believe many companies will still be around, but there are chances of them merging/shifting/splitting/name-changing along the way. On the other hand, there are some food, liquor, and agricultural companies that have been around for an extremely long time. [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_oldest_companies#1650_to_1699"]According to this list,[/URL] a construction firm in Japan operated for 1,400 years until it was absorbed by a larger one.
Apple
the fucking vatican
NASA
Schweizerische Industrie Gesellschaft (the doods who make Swiss Sig Sauer guns, among other things) will probably be around for as long as the Swiss are around.

Even when we've settled in to using lasers and mind beams, there will always be a place for a Remington shotgun.
Bad Dragon
jamba juice
Coca-Cola corp and Pepsi Corp.
Bank of America.

AOL
1000 years is so many years it is ridiculous. a more realistic question would be 10 to 20 years and easier to answer
MySpace
I'm just gonna go and say it. Probably none. 1000 years is a long time.
