Despite the menacing name of “death adder,” Razer’s latest corded mouse is a guaranteed hit.  Equipped with “the so-called 3G infrared sensor at the heart of the mouse, boasting an impressive 1800 dpi resolution, as well as Razer’s trademark 1000 Hz “Ultrapolling” technology and a barely there 1ms response time,” this mouse is further outfitted with rubber-coated buttons on top, and Teflon feet beneath for smooth-sliding.  The DeathAdder, however, is tailored solely for the use of right-handed people, and it will hit the market just in time for Christmas for only $59.99.

Aeropause recently picked up on ITWorld’s story concerning Microsoft’s new media player, the name of which is “analogous to the F-Bomb in Hebrew.”

Hebrew linguists are divided over Zune. Tsila Ratner, the head of Hebrew courses in the Department of Hebrew and Jewish Studies at University College London, says Zune is an unsuitable name for a product. However, Haggit Inbar-Littas, a 30-year veteran Hebrew teacher with the London Jewish Cultural Center, says while the name is “ridiculous” and close to the bad word, it’s unlikely to be mistaken.

Ridiculous indeed.  Like a newer rendition of the Nintendo Wii naming fiasco.
