Dongle...sounds dirty!

 

Yeah, the word dongle has always rubbed me up the wrong way.

That's how I read Xbone when I see it. X-Bone, sounds dirty.

Adding a lower case "i" in front of anything is horribly pretentious. It's a trend that needs to go away, especially on non-Apple products.

Mitsubishi makes fridges in case you're wondering. In the US, we only have Mitsubishi Motors, so I wouldn't be surprised if Hitachi made plenty of other products in different regions.

Mitsubishi+L4+Grande+Refrigerator+6-07.j

Why the phuck is a fridge tasty and healthy  :huh: . I get the easy and big, but the tasty. The Mitsubishi marketing staff should start nibbling on the corner of the fridge and think again what to write in the ads. :D

I don't believe they do, it's mostly cheapo cases and power supplies on their website. I wouldn't put it past them though.

They named it schiit for the express purpose of sounding strange though
