Amazon terminates iRobot deal, Roomba maker to lay off 31% of staff::Amazon and iRobot said regulatory concerns made it impossible for the deal to move forward, sending the Roomba makers’ shares plummeting.
Why the fuck would you name your robotics company that?
Ya know, when I named my Red Car “Christine” it was a joke and one for my own amusement, if it were a new model of car that I was selling there are a couple of reasons I wouldn’t have done that.
Fyi: This is the company that makes roombas and thats the name people recognize. They where founded as irobot in the 90s and it was clearly copying apple.
Its almost suprising they didnt sue the irobot movie for its title, being that the original titel by Isaac Asimov spelled it “i, robot”
They where founded as irobot in the 90s and it was clearly copying apple.
Are you saying the name iRobot is copying Apple? Because iRobot was founded almost 10 years before the first iMac.
Till apple didn’t stat the i- naming scheme till imac in 98.
So irobot at the time really was an original name…
It’s a good thing we gave Amazon Tax CUTS instead of RAISES! Otherwise they may have forced people to lose their jobs!
