6. When I worked at AOL a few years ago
there was a meeting in the area right outside of my cube where some big wigs were brainstorming what to call the new widget being developed. The Blackberry was pretty new & hot at the time so a LOT of fruit/food names were suggested. They were so loud I could hear them despite my headphones, so I piped in with a loud and excited "potato!" over my cube wall.

Surprisingly, my input was not very appreciated.

15. Bing is "The Sound of Found!"
Since it invariably points me to Wikipedia, I just use that, but they have a breathtaking photo on their home page every day. That's about all I get out of it.

18. If Bing had a baby with Zune, would they have a Bune, a Zing, a Bong, or a Bung???
Or maybe a Bong?
