From Althouse, the best way of phrasing what I (and many others) thought on first hearing the name of the new Apple tablet device. Did Apple have any women on its Name-That-Device committee?

I didn't even get this far - now I would like to scrub out my brain, thanks - but iTablet would have been an aesthetic improvement.

Based on the number of this sort of comments on blogs that would otherwise not be writing about Apple's new tablet, I'm starting to wonder if the awkward name was deliberate to generate more buzz. The idea that there's no such thing as bad publicity. It will certainly provide plenty of fodder for late night comedians and the like.
