Onion Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 @xPETEZx weird, I've never heard anyone say that around here, I just say vacuum. Also, another one people say is blu-ray instead of HD film. I'm guilty too lol. @d3 Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingdingeling Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 I use them all the time. There is a real danger involved for the brand in question though! If it is a product that is easily copied without a big difference in quality/looks/taste/whatever, the person using them does not care if it is the original or not. For example Post-It notes, if someone gave you a sticky notepad that was not from the brand Post-It, you wouldn't give two craps. You'd just buy the cheaper version. This can be real dangerous to the companies in the long run if they cannot distinguish their product in some way. Coca Cola works differently for example, the taste is absolutely unique. Yes, Pepsi etc. come close, but there is nothing quite like it, so for Coca Cola that is not much of a problem. Just my random 2 cents Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Compxpert Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 (edited) It somewhat annoys me when people do this... so I voted no... though I think once or twice I've been guilty of it... though I can't think of what.

Not sure that actually counts...Apple licensed out the name "Firewire" to IEEE to use for the 1394 port. As such, there is no 1394 port that isn't "Firewire".

Verran Posted April 11, 2009 Posted April 11, 2009 I do. I know I do and I know I shouldn't, but it's just easier and I don't care that much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RimX Posted April 11, 2009 Posted April 11, 2009 Also, another one people say is blu-ray instead of HD film. I'm guilty too lol. Actually I don't think that counts because there is only Blu-Ray now, and there aren't any Blu-ray knock-offs...Blu-ray is what it.
