Who else is rather tired of the "i ______" trend among companies?

I mean, hell, Mitsubishi is now making a god damn car that follows this forsaken trend... What the fuck?


Post your opinions on the i _____ phase/phenomenon and/or other trends found within the business or media world.

they're just trying to ride the gravy train. It happens a lot. Do you complain every time?

Stole the words right out of my parts.

Seriously, I couldn't care less.

There's a biography of Steve Jobs called iCon. This would be fine, except I always read that as "I Con". Damn grifters. >_>

Uh yeah I see where you're coming from Nommy. But rubah's right, it's going to happen.

This reminds me of when a certain awful fanfic writer who shall remain nameless for your sanity, referred to an item of make-up as 'iShadow', and some reviewers were like, 'Is that a new product from Apple?'

On topic: BBC iPlayer = <3

I actually thought it was going to be a critical, scathing biography until your clarified it wasn't "I Con." xD

It annoys me too, but I don't see it going away so I guess I'll just have to tolerate it.

any product that starts with lowercase i followed by capitalized Name just reeks of overhyped pile of crap to me.

I didn't know lots of companies were adding the "i" =O. Where the hell am I all the time? I think Asia could die and I wouldn't hear about it.

Yes. I actually complain about this all the time. I really started to notice it when Google became iGoogle. Suffice it to say I was pretty pissed off.

I very much dislike the Ipod's.. they are expensive and do nothing more or better then cheap ripoffs.

The most annoying thing is the fanbase who keeps screaming "Ipod is better" in my ear, while anyone with a little physics background knows that its BS as mp3's are cut so much the difference only exists in the headphones.

Thats why i say, kill the i___ trend with the thing that started it all. burn the ipod!
