Oh, it's even better. Apple sued to try to force iFone to
give up it's name. This caused iFone to countersue saying
iPhone sounds too much like iFone, so now Apples aggression
has rebounded on itself - it cannot sell iPhones in Mexico.
Maybe they should have left well enough alone .....[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

I think it
would be appropriate, at this juncture, to define 'hubris':
"...In its
modern use, hubris denotes overconfident pride and arrogance; it is often
associated with a lack of humility, though not always with the lack of
knowledge....It is also referred to as 'pride that blinds', as it often causes
one accused of hubris to act in foolish ways that belie common sense...." - from
Wikipedia.
I introduce a new term, 'apple' which means 'applied
hubris':
"Oops, I just did an apple!"
"Boy, you really appled that
one!"
"let's apple it and see what happens."
On the iPhone
brand:
"an 'i' for this, an 'i' for that, an 'i' for everything, just
ain't where it's at..." (apologies to Boz Scaggs)
