Its certainly tough to come up with project names that are unique these days, but Dremel? Its a well-known consumer brand of tools in the US. Did Google's Dremel name derive from something other than the tool brand?
Google's project is certainly not in the same market that the Dremel tools brand, but is it ok for a company like Google to borrow from a brand name in a different market?
- zdw 16y agoFootnote on the first page: Dremel is a brand of power tools that primarily rely on their speed as opposed to torque. We use this name for an internal project only.
- Zak 16y agoGoogle also has a programming language called Sawzall, named for a brand name of electric reciprocating saw.
