Shout out to the time #Microsoft invented a genuinely cool peer-to-peer song sharing feature for the #Zune

and then unironically, with a straight face, called it “squirting”

As in “hey [your name], squirt me that hot new song you like”

Continuing Microsoft’s long tradition, which lives to this day, of using a dart board of the worst possible words to name its products and features, like, 95% of the time

@chartier The Zune itself was also a perfectly decent product. But… what the fuck is a Zune?
@jwisser @chartier Tbf, iPod is equally weird, imo
@jwisser @chartier I actually think it’s great that they came up with new names. Now, I feel like tech has lost its creativity. Give me more “bytes” and silly little words, stop calling things “memory” and “hallucinations” and whatever. Tell me it’s florping!

@b_cavello @jwisser

Ladies and gentlemen

I am extremely excited to introduce

The all new Florp Glorp
