You'll XD Yourself
Be honest, did you at some point in your internet career Google "XD" to figure out what it stood for? Xanadu Disfigurement? Xerox Depot? Well, SPOILER ALERT but it's actually an emoticon, as you were probably already ashamed to have realized. (Do you see it? It's a squinting, laughing person. See it?)
We therefore give a sincere tip of our cap to the folks at Roku for releasing this 3050B XD streaming media player. Not only does it provide an affordable, simple way to stream all kinds of content right to your TV, it also co-opts a popular emoticon right there in its name.
Who doesn't want to feel like this?: XD
We're worried that this might start an arms race as other electronic companies lay claim to other popular internet emoticons. How long before we begin selling the Samsung :D or the Sanyo ¯\_(ツ)_/¯? Why stop at emoticons? Why not venture into product names that are themselves elaborate works of ASCII art?
