It's all in the name!

It recently occurred to me with the overload of technology companies and products that names are becoming less and less important.  And how could you argue with one of the most popular products of the year duly named the iPad.  With the exception of Apple who so cleverly names everything i, who comes up with these names?  Is it some guy hanging around the office getting paid way to much to come up with a bold yet smooth alias for a device that can reach the cosmos with its intensity.  And yes I did just use all phone names in the end of that sentence. 

We should try this out for a size, a giant lottery pick system, similar to sports, where a computer randomly generates a number of names and each product gets its chance to pick the name they want.  Upon entry each item is given a number and randomly selected for who gets to choose first.  The names can range anywhere from house cat breeds to vicious yacht names. 

Or wait, is that how choose already?

Scandal!

A reported scandal featuring the tech company Apple has been discovered after months of succesful sales with the iPad.

It appears after investigation that the iPad has indeed stolen the iPod interface! The larger iPad counterpart may soon earn the name the iPod Jumbo as people are assuming its ability to play the newest media format, JumboMP3. The support of this format would be huge(no pun intended) as JumboMP3 will have the capability to play lil' Jon's newest music style "ScreamoRageCrunk" which is simply too loud for traditional MP3 devices.

This shocking news comes only a few days after the reported 26.5 million dollars Kotex paid Apple to name the device the iPad. This large amount of money was put forth in hopes that the iPad name would boost sales of Kotex feminine products.
