Let's see... Amazon has nothing to do with the Amazon basin, the river or anything else, aside from probably contributing to the destruction of all things Amazon. Google couldn't even spell googol correctly. Network Solutions is the opposite of real solutions. I suppose Windows is a good name - after all, what does it do? It shows windows decently well, and doesn't do anything else well at all. What else? ;)

Amazon started as books, I think it was a reference to how many trees (pages) are in the Amazon. I like edgelord kinda names: Vercel, Heroku, Mistral, Lightning, Nvidia... I want my sentences to be like "...so I ejected the vector, ran re-drive, then exported the sequence to Bytestream and now the dyno is back online..." and less like "...so I pulled the blobs out of Peanut Butter & Jelly and migrated them over to Casserole and you know these days I just serve the dish cold to save on compute" :D It matters!
