Nov 4, 2012 7:23 PM in response to deggieby Philly_Phan,Correct. In fact, his name was as I indicated - no period after the "S."
I can go further and add that "GE" does not stand for "General Electric." It did at one time but that was changed some time in the eighties.

Thanks for your concern.
The last that I saw on the weather reports, it won't be that bad. In any event, I didn't have any structural damage from Sandy so I'll be OK. I feel for those at the "shore" (near the ocean). Even a drizzle will be catastrophic for them.

Nov 7, 2012 8:54 PM in response to alhoussainyby hainchain,So IPAD stand for Intelligent/Internet Personal Assistance Device?

Dec 7, 2012 1:31 PM in response to MisterAppleUSAby Zantac_150,It's actually not internet. In a keynote speech when Steve was Interim CEO, the slide showed iCEO.
It stands for Interim.
Amazing how this answer is nowhere to be found on the internet.

Dec 8, 2012 9:43 AM in response to alhoussainyby danielpena,Are you kidding me? I already posted what the 'i' stood for. Steve showed it in a slide when he first introduced the first iProduct, the iMac. The 'i' stood for five words.
internet
individual
instruct
inform
inspire

Dec 9, 2012 3:20 PM in response to danielpenaby Zantac_150,Are you kidding ME? Those are terms INCLUDED in the meaning, but are not the finite answer.
Apple will continue to make better products in the future, so the ones we have at any given point in time are just "interim" products. That's why when you buy an iPad 2 in March of 2012, it's just an interim solution and will be obsolete when the next generation iPad is out in November.

Mar 25, 2013 7:40 PM in response to alhoussainyby Ben Ang,The real meaning of "i" stands for "intelligent"
iPhone = intelligent Phone
iPad = intelligent Pad
iMovie = intelligent Movie
and so on.

Mar 27, 2013 11:50 AM in response to Carolyn Samitby weeowey,The word "Internet" is a noun. because the Internet is a thing, therefore, it needs to have a capital 'I'. So, the meaning of the 'i' isn't really 'internet', because the 'I' would have to be a capital each time. also, a certain Steve Jobs, (I think) who named the iPod, was reminded of the movie ' 2001: Space Odyssey' or something, which has the phrase: "Open the Pod Bay doors". You can go ahead and ask Siri that phrase. "Open the Pod Bay Doors" or "Do you know HAL-9000?". And yes, they are pretty cool easter eggs.
