Panties: 2010

We’re never satisfied are we? Technology advances demand that we make things better, smaller, faster. Case and point: the cellular phone. What happened to those days when phones needed a handbag of their own… When phones could be used as a deterrant to would-be criminals… When phones needed 2 hands to operate… *sigh*… those were the good days…

Case and point #2 - Panties
Gone are the days when panties could double as a sleeping bag or …

How far is too far?

So I’m all for good branding. I was standing in the shower the other day, lost for something to do, and I found myself thinking what a great name was chosen for what has been probably Apple’s biggest seller, the iPod. Clever, short, catchy, techie and kinda yuppy-ish too.
