    Android's name derives from Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?


  • he's asking why that is the case
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    yes, what is the connection? other than the word "android"

    I only made the connection once I also thought of the fact that there's the Nexus-brand Android devices...
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    tenuous.

    Sup bitches, witches, Haters, and trolls.
    Nexus is named after Nexus 6 from Electric Sheep/Blade Runner, yes, but Android itself probably not, since the first few Android reference devices weren't even called Nexus!

    Well, you got the Nexus = Nexus reference, so you're half-right

    This is true.

    I realized it like a year before she did

    The reason Amazon.com can get away with using simple, easy-to-open packaging instead of obnoxious blister packs is that they don't have a physical storefront where they'd have to worry about people opening packages to steal crap.

    That J-Lo was not the name of a male rapper, but was, in fact, a moniker for Jennifer Lopez. 

    I spent years believing J-Lo was a famous rapper or something.
  • well in a way J-Lo is a famous rapper but those two descriptors aren't connected.

    ...is "HD" for "high density", not "CH" like I'd always assumed as a kid.

    In my defense, who looks at floppy disks with the inserted end up? The labels were almost always printed the other way around, in my experience.

    I thought it was "CH" too!
