Don't forget to take your small low-cost small notebook PC thingy to the beach

Microsoft has renamed ‘”netbook” and it is a lot simpler and easier to remember – “low-cost small notebook PC”.

That is what “Microsoft OEM division corporate vice president Steve Guggenheimer during a speech Tuesday at the Computex trade show in Taiwan” called them. (Compterworld)

It’s elegant. It has panache and pith all at once. What can we say to the giant who wants to own and name the everything?

Maybe your best ideas are behind you? As in Windows, Word, and Excel. The Natal name for the awesome XBox controller seems like a toss off.

Don’t forget to take the “thing that’s made of plastic and holds ice and food keeping them cool for later when you’re having a picnic on the beach or park”. Oh yeah, the cooler.
