please, stop the iMadness
don't know if this was ever a thread before, but i just can't take it anymore. i used to love the whole iWhatever craze. it was different, it was apple's. it had prupose. it had character.
now it's frickin' EVERYwhere. and not just apple products. i mean everything seems to borrow the convention.
anyone else finally sick of the iRevolution?

Of course, whatever Apple is doing, we should label it as innovation. Like, when Apple opens some online store, or when some university slaps together 2000 G5s, it should be labeled as innovation. And of course, we wouldnt use that word if some other company did the same thing.
On topic, I don't really see it. I don't see translucent crap anymore and while Microsoft's almost blatant attempts to make their UI look like System X is worth a laugh I don't see it anywhere else.

I am not sure it was call innovation but the 1100 G5s got so much press because of how powerful it was for the price, the AMAZING speed in which it was setup, and that it only needed student labor to setup, unlike that texas school that got all those PC's and ended up getting help from Cray to set them up.
Or innovative.
Or indiscriminate to race, gender or sexual orientation.
That's what iThink.

yeah, it was something like that. albeit, at the time, the first prototype imacs had a 36.6 modem inside. before official launch, they bumped it up to baseline 56k, to show commitment to the "i".
maybe it's all the other smaller developers, too. iMean, go to macupdate or versiontracker, tack on a leading "i" to ANY word you can imagine, and there is probably a software product that someone is trying to sell by that name.
heck, if the "i" is for internet, then the ipod has never really made sense. isight sorta works, since it works with ichat, and both work over the internet. but then they made it sorta-for-consumers, with the distinction between ibook and powerbook, or imac and powermac.
i dunno, it's like the naming convention equivalent of brushed metal... seems to be popping up everywhere, especially in smaller developers who think it's cool without really thinking about it, and then even apple has a hard time deciding where it should be used.
then again, i havn't got any better ideas... \
so iPod works... internet[music]Pod
