All 3 titles should [probably, IMO] be corrected to name "Server Company". A "computer" is a superset of servers, desktops, laptops, embedded devices and mobile devices. That way it is more accurate. Currently it is ambiguous what the "computer company" is actually going to "do"/produce/sell.

- sdan 7y agoAlthough I understand your point, it's like saying this: "Eduardo Saverin, Sean Parker, and Chris Hughes on track to make social company"

- dmitryminkovsky 7y agoThis is what I was hoping/imagining.
- rchaud 7y agoYeah, I was interested when they said "computer company", which the average reader would associate with Apple or Dell but the homepage described something entirely different, and much less interesting to anybody who isn't a sysadmin.
