Jargon Rampage
I love jargon. Jargon seperates the amature nerds from the hardcore prostyle geekaletes, hell, laywers have created an entire industry out of jargon. But sometimes companies apply the technobabble a little too heavy.
For example:
"Sprint inked a deal with Sirius, allowing 21 channels of the companyâs music to be downloaded from any of its multimedia handsetsâall for only $6.95 a month." - Gizmodo
"multimedia handsets"!? What happened to cell phones! Was that not good enough?! Now everyone is going to have to ditch their old-fangled 3 month old cell phone and buy a shiny new "multimedia handset", or at least that's the idea.
I think those SCSI (scuzzy) bastards in the industry should REFRESH (wake up) because I'm certainly not EBAYING (buying) this WINDOWS ME (crap).
