I can suggest some more .. how about
IE X-2 …. the Xmen version
IE Tigeress
iBrowse
IE GO (pronounced as ayeeee go)
IE Beta .. for earth and we will never come out of beta .. coz its the name *lol*
They will have to still decide the various edtions it will ship as, like
Web Developers edition, Children edition, Student edition, Home edition, Professional edition (tuned for social networking and digging), Ulitmate edition, Live edition, Offline edition, Web edition …
Can you think of more?
How will you name it? OR What can be the name if someone else would have developed the next version of IE, say apple or google or a new start up?
ROFL … really funny Sam …..
hell !!! how can u write a series of nice posts? Don’t you even think of writing some crap to tease your regular readers
really funny list of names and editions
how about
Icrap ??
i think what maruti meant was !crap
IE 1000 … but it still might not lure the g33ks.
try flock .. seems reasonably good and has social components neatly packaged.
Cool names and lol at Obelix…
@ Paresh : Flock eats looooots of memory…
but its gud otherwise..
@all – I am getting bored these days with the boring with routine tech news. I would love to read/post more of such stuff.
@paresh – flock sucks, firefox used to eat a lot of mem on my machine … flock is even a step further. I miss extensions in IE7 but it pretty much does my job.
