i in iPhone, iPad, etc
-
the i probably had more to keeping a singular branding message than to actually mean internet for the iPod - but really, the iPod did require the internet (more or less) because iTunes was designed around internet based music delivery (yes I know you could rip CDs back then).
-
I guess it was. Forgot about iTunes.

@ajstringham Apple was pretty big on using the word "Innovation" during the late 90's in advertising.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Apple_Inc._slogans#iMac**"iThink, therefore iMac." **(1998) based on René Descartes famous line, "I think, therefore I am" (Cogito ergo sum).

I'm surprised the letter 'c' hasn't been used more to represent "The Cloud". The letter 'e' was everywhere ten years ago. Oracle used the letter 'g' for grid for a while when they were marketing "Grid Computing" as the new, new thing, do they still do that?
Ultimately, these things are dreamt up by marketing types and mean absolutely nothing.

I'm wondering why they ditched it for the new products - Apple Pay and Apple Watch instead of iPay and iWatch.

Ok, thanks guys! Now I know!

Did anyone have the old iMac/iPods? I had the lime green CRT iMac I used to play some serious StarCraft on.

I've been busy. Started a new job at McAfee of all places. Still in training, so there is that. It's been slow though, so plenty of time so far to post on ML, etc.

Yeah, they have a TON of other non-AV products. They all are security products of one kind or another, but not solely AV. The one I'll be supporting first is called MVM, or McAfee Vulnerability Manager. It's a network scanner that allows you to find issues in your environment. Cool in theory. We'll see how it works when I get going.

Sounds like bad PR right there... I'd be careful.

What do you mean? All I said is we'll see how I like it when I get a chance to play with it. That's all.

@ajstringham Just be careful about what you say about the company you work for, especially online. That's all I'm saying.

Did any of you see this? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2746648/Australian-man-microchip-inserted-hand-use-iPhone-6.html
Creepy.. No way. I don't get why someone would do that.

Tim Cook. Not Steve Jobs.
That's the difference. Seeing a stock drop the day after a major product announcement is not typical for Apple, Inc.
Not trying to sound profound or anything, but these are going to be interesting times for Apple.
