It seems to me that Apple has gone thought all the cool
cats, even sinking to “Mountain Lion” after “Lion”. So I guess they’re going
back down the lethality scale now, and I guess it’s only a matter of time
before we get “House Cat”, or “Domestic Short Hair”, etc. But what about a new
strategy: Dogs?
Yes, dogs: They could start with lame yippy lap dogs like
Chihuahua, Mexican Hairless, Dachshund, etc., and then go up the size/coolness
scale until they reached German Shepherd, Doberman Pinscher, Rottweiler, Irish
Wolf Hound, Great Dane, etc.
And if that worked, maybe they could go through vermin next,
like Mouse, Gerbil, Hamster, Rat, Rabbit, etc. Sound good? After Apple’s
lawsuit craze, maybe people will find “Rat” appropriate. (Isn’t the trying to
take over the world thing what made hackers target Microsoft so much? Or was it
their crappy stuff? I’m never sure. But Apple might be the next target if they
get to seem too bullying.)
Or how about monsters instead? They could have OS Vampire,
Frankenstein Monster, Mummy, Werewolf, Ghost, Demon, Troll, Goblin, Ghoul, etc. At
least then it would scare their rivals.
