One of the things that disappoints me about the failure of the Zune in the marketplace is that wireless peer-to-peer transmission of files did not become widely known as “squirting”

@kistaro ... this would only be a valid term if all our mobile devices looked like they were designed by 90s kids toys designers.

You know, the ones that look like someone sneezed them out.

@kistaro There's definitely times where the fun element of design - kids stuff or not - has been beaten out of everything for the sake of efficiency.

Even UIs were fun and varied, like in kids Flash games.
