Names aren't really all that accurate in tech anyway.
You don't go to Amazon for rainforest information.
You don't go to Google for information about big numbers.
You don't go to Uber for an Aryan vibe.
You don't go to Apple for fruit.
You don't open Windows to let in a cool breeze.
You don't need a trap for your wireless mice.
Monster isn't going to eat you.
Jeeves isn't actually a person you can ask, and knows less about buttling than you'd expect.
FireEye is competition to crowdstrike, not an STD.
You get used to it after awhile.

Now back to the topic.)
