  Why? What should they name it after instead?

    innovation, not copying anyone?

      There's billions of products in existence. I don't think each one having an "innovative" name provides any value at all. And copying is the highest form of flattery. If I had spent my life researching electricity and found out the most innovative company in the electric vehicle and battery industry was named after me I would feel quite proud

      That sounds like a recipe for names like Innotek and Infobang.

  You know that's a unit of electricity as well, right?

    A unit of electricity named after a famous scientist.
    • monocasa 7y ago
      And?
      • znpy 7y ago

          A "he" apparently... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andr%C3%A9-Marie_Amp%C3%A8re https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andr%C3%A9-Marie_Amp%C3%A8re He would be spinning in his grave. Which would generate an AC current.

            He would be well grounded though having no effective voltage. Bad joke, although, it has potential .

            Just as good as using famous authors I suppose http://dresdencodak.com/2010/06/03/dark-science-01/ http://dresdencodak.com/2010/06/03/dark-science-01/

  Just as soon as my Kardashian is charged up, I'll swing by your place to drop off the new samples of the 128-core Bieber X.
