@scarlet Contrary to popular belief, the "DS" in .DS_Store does not stand for "Desktop Services" or even "Developer's System", but actually stands for "Dual Screen" as part of an advertising deal with the joint Apple-Nintendo "DSi" handheld system

(the partnership between the 2 broke down after it was unveiled with the incorrect "DSi" name instead of Cupertino's preferred "iDS" name, but the lingering technical rammifications of this short-lived advertising deal remain on anything interacting with OS X systems to this day)
