Think the name for iPad is bad? Think again

Last week, Steven Jobs (CEO of Apple Inc.) unveiled the new product, iPad.

While it looks nice, Apple Inc. keeps coming up with new innovations. My hat off to that company and its appreciated practice of capitalism. Hard to dislike those companies.

Amazing Feeling inconvenient to me the other day when news popped everywhere that many people especially feminists are disgruntled and/or mock the name of that product iPad. These people compare that name with a specific feminine hygiene. Here and this. iTampon? Pleeease! Apparently, these people look for problems or something to complain about, leave alone the fact that the term “PAD” could mean 13 different things according to Merriam Webster Online Dictionary. They could spend the time doing more productive things. Really!

Occurred to me yesterday that it’d be phony of these whiners if they own google accounts or use google websites. GOOGLE name implies GO OGLE (fill in this blank) We know what Ogle usually implies much more than what “Pad” implies. Why did they not complain?

Why didn’t GOOGLE company name itself GO-OGLE-at-her while the executives were at it?
