- Microsoft Dismisses Music Player’s Linguistic Lapse ★

Randy Boswell, reporting for CanWest News Service:
A Microsoft spokeswoman in Montreal told CanWest News Service that “it was pointed out to us” during focus groups in the province that the proposed brand name sounded much like a French-Canadian term used as a euphemism for penis or vagina.

Shouldn’t Robert Scoble know the answer to this question?
Update: Winer says Scoble might know, but isn’t there yet.
- Screenshot of Pre-Release Version of iTunes With Dark Blue Source List ★
-
Check out the screenshot of iTunes 7 in this Apple KnowledgeBase article. It has an entirely different color scheme in the source list — a dark blue background with white text. This is a far more radical change than what they actually shipped. I wonder how late in the game they changed this? I doubt they’d start taking screenshots for the KnowledgeBase until late in the development cycle.
Update: Apple has already replaced the screenshot with one that looks like the shipping version of iTunes 7.0. Good thing I kept this copy.
