    Corporation? I’m not anti business, far from it. But I have an interest in economics as well as technology. We need effective markets. CUDA is an example of a market problem caused by a corporation’s own language. It has screwed up competition.

      I mean if anything, look at Velcro and how generalising a term makes it untrademarkeable. Overusing words can and will screw companies.

        The funny thing with that, I haven’t seen a term taken like that from a tech company though.

        Xerox is the only one I can think of that came close, Googling at this point…
