| Nareed Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 346 Posts: 12545 | BTW, as far as I know neither Asimov nor his estate ever sued iRobot for its name. You'd think they would have. Asimov's definitive, and brutally honest, volume of autobiography (his third *), was called "I, Asimov," playing on the title of his early and well-known anthology "I, Robot." (No idea when "I, Claudius" was published). But then it's a little-known fact the title for "I, Robot" was not Asimov's idea, but his editor's at Gnome Press. In fact, the very title had been previously used in a short story by Eando Binder, which Asimov was well aware of. (*) Asimov once claimed he was his favorite subject, therefore the three volumes of autobiography. Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

That does not actually come as a shock, but I have never owned anything by Apple either. Not even an iPod. The company will be 40 years old next year, and is the 5th largest company by revenue, 1st by Market Value, and 3rd by Profits.

| Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 146 Posts: 25011 | Part of the reason is, my 'artist' son in law is a rabid Apple fan, that's all they own. I have never had a single complaint with non Apple products, so why would I need it. My brother in law is always talking about his Apple crap, like it's a status symbol. Phooey on that..
