They've shut down the playground, and the new name is...
<b>What??!</b> The long and quite redundant name thread has been closed, locked and the key thrown away. So again I wonder...What has the browser been named? That thread was an "After Dark" kind of hangout for a great many of the faithful, often becoming it's own off-topic subject. I'm sure I'm not the only one missing it.

That wasn't exactly the point of the post, but I'm very honored to be considered! Actually, I don't care what you call it or when you name it (by the way, "fingerprint" has a much better ring to it.). I just wondered why the name thread was (again) locked.

They locked it before. Then someone started a new name thread. Then they unlocked the name thread again. That thread has been off topic for more than a month.

Is <i>that</i> all? It seemed like much longer! You'd really never expect a name change thread to grow to that size. But then, did anyone (anyone at all) think that they would take this much time to name it? Seems like a lot of unnecessary pressure has been put on, doesn't it? Since we've had so much time to think, pretty much any name is gonna suck! (Except <b>Equinox</b>, of course )alanjstr wrote:That thread has been off topic for more than a month.

I'm pretty confident they won't choose an outrageously lame-ass name. Equinox, Paradigm, Sphinx, whatever. so long as they pick SOMETHING...

Use that name and you could market it as a wireless, XML-enabled browser guaranteed to bring you mindshare in a hectic eBusiness environment, where initiatives that aren't seamless in a B2B-sense are frowned upon. Brilliant!
To the cast and crew of Arrested Development: Thanks for the many great laughs.

Naming conventions...
For some reason, the name 'Apex' just sounds good to me. It fits. The Apex browser!
Or maybe that's just my sleep-addled, late night kernel-compilin', bleary eyed alter ego talking.
