The fact that it is case-insensitive actually lowers the amount of sales places like GoDaddy.com make. The case for case-sensitivity is a strong one, I must admit. On the other hand, it makes browsing somewhat more cumbersome for the people who can't be bothered to press the shift key which seems to be the majority of people nowadays. They already have enough difficulty spelling correctly, imagine the war we would start if we complained about their grammar and punctuation as well! -- Slimer OpenMedia, GreenPeace Supporter & SPCA Paw Partner Encrypt.

Most websites have a case-senstive file system. Even Apple recognizes that case-sensitive is the way to go. http://www.apple.com/index.html <-- as expected http://www.apple.com/Index.html <-- 404

No, "value" has nothing to do with it. That's just www.apple.com's filesystem being what it is. Case-sensitive. >> The entire web works this way. > Nope. It depends on the server software (and settings). "this way" means that only for the DNS portion can you be guaranteed that it will be handled in a case-insensitive manner. you know, like I said below, right after that: >> You have never been able to take >> for granted that anything to the right of the hostname in the URL >> will be handled in a case-insensitive manner.

Yeah, I think DNS should be case-sensitive.

I have heard "internet" and "individual" and a few other things... but whatever it is, it has become a marketing term with no real meaning. :) -- * Mint MATE Trash, Panel, Menu: <http://youtu.be/C0y74FIf7uE> * Mint KDE bugs or Easter eggs? <http://youtu.be/CU-whJQvtfA> * Mint KDE working with folders: <http://youtu.be/7C9nvniOoE0> * Mint KDE creating files: <http://youtu.be/N7-fZJaJUv8> * Mint KDE help: <http://youtu.be/3ikizUd3sa8> * Mint KDE general navigation: <http://youtu.be/t9y14yZtQuI> * Mavericks / Pages 5.1: <http://youtu.be/D3BPWANQoIk> * OS / Word Processor Comparison: <http://youtu.be/w6Qcl-w7s5c>

People basically expected that worthless piece of crap to be called the iWatch. Being the incredibly original company that they are, they instead decided to blow everyone's mind and call it the Apple Watch. NOBODY SAW THAT ONE COMING!!!

Ken Segall was an employee at an L.A. ad agency handling Apple's account who
came up with the name "iMac" and pitched it to Steve Jobs. Jobs wanted the
product to be called "MacMan", but eventually warmed to Segall's suggestion.
Segall says that the "i" stands for "Internet", but also represents the
product as a personal and revolutionary device ('i' for "individuality" and
"innovation").
Attention was given to the out-of-box experience: the user needed to go
through only two steps to set up and connect to the Internet. "There's no
step 3!" was the catch-phrase in a popular iMac commercial narrated by actor
Jeff Goldblum.
Another commercial, dubbed "Simplicity Shootout", pitted seven-year-old
Johann Thomas and his border collie Brodie, with an iMac, against Adam
Taggart, a Stanford University MBA student, with an HP Pavilion 8250, in a
race to set up their computers. Johann and Brodie finished in 8 minutes and
15 seconds, whereas Adam was still working on it by the end of the
commercial.
Apple later adopted the 'i' prefix across its consumer hardware and software
lines, such as the iPod, iBook, iPhone, iPad and various pieces of software
such as the iLife suite and iWork and the company's media player/store,
iTunes.

That 'i' in the name worked out well for Apple but the new watch breaks from
the naming convention. It's the "Apple watch" and not the iWatch. Conpiracy
theories?

or four times the price of an Galaxy Note 4
