iCloud?
I don’t think The Boss spelt this right…Maybe it should be eye cloud?
I wonder how many folk out there even now what the “I” actually stands for?
The name iPod was proposed by Vinnie Chieco, a freelance copywriter, who (with others) was called by Apple to figure out how to introduce the new player to the public. After Chieco saw a prototype, he thought of the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey and the phrase "Open the pod bay door, Hal!", which refers to the white EVA Pods of the Discovery One spaceship. Chieco saw an analogy to the relationship between the spaceship and the smaller independent pods in the relationship between a personal computer and the music player.[6] Apple researched the trademark and found that it was already in use. Joseph N. Grasso of New Jersey had originally listed an "iPod" trademark with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) in July 2000 for Internet kiosks. The first iPod kiosks had been demonstrated to the public in New Jersey in March 1998, and commercial use began in January 2000, but had apparently been discontinued by 2001. The trademark was registered by the USPTO in November 2003, and Grasso assigned it to Apple Computer, Inc. in 2005.[16] (Thanks to Wikipedia)_
The I stands for internet.
Brarking News...Today The Boss’s iBlinds arrived. No they are not connected to the internet they are connected to the window frame BUT they do have the cutest (bite size) remote thingie so you can lie in bed and see if the day is worth getting up for. ..AND they run on batteries for years. The Bad news is that there doesn’t seem to be “an app for that” …..yet?
The installer blind bloke, who didn’t even have dark glasses, was so impressed he was talking about getting some for himself No Not dark glasses…Blinds.
The Bossess will be confused ‘Cos she recons that we are way over remoted already.
