Stupid Spelling and Stupid Name

= Company out of business soon.

I really wish people, but mainly business people, would stop using these 6th-grade-level spelling adaptations. Phorm? First off, its the kind of "Look how cool I am" spelling that one would expect from some punk-ass 15 year-old tagger.

But more to the point, doesn't "Phorm" make you think "Phishing" and does that sound like a good name for a company? Who is the genius who thought that was a good name, and why is he/she employed?

Re: Stupid Spelling and Stupid Name

Phorm is anagram of Morph.

Has anyone actually looked at the web site to see how it works? The hardware assigns a random id number to the user. If you have various log ins then each session/user will have a different random ID for THAT SESSION. as soon as you turn your pc off, or disconnect your broadban, your random id is deleted. No Ip addresses are collected. It really isn't that difficult to understand. But then again, some people see to love a good conspiracy theory ( let me guess Ernst & Young are also guilty?!!)
