This is my Zeen. It is the key to my Airlife

[CptStern]

"Tonight, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer will deliver a keynote presentation at the conference in which he is expected to announce a tablet computer device created in partnership with HP called the "Zeen." From our brief earlier today:

During his CES 2010 keynote, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer will show off an Hewlett-Packard tablet with multitouch, e-reader, and multimedia functionalities. At least that's what the the New York Times is reporting, citing unnamed sources. The "slate-type computer" is supposed to be "available by mid-year" and we may already have heard the name publicly.

"This is my Zeen. It is the key to my Airlife." These mysterious sentences were part of recent HP trademark filings uncovered by the NYT that cover "mobile computing devices and wireless lifestyles."


microsoft marketing sucks balls.

I wonder how much money they spent to come up with that idiotic phrase.

Wait, so both Microsoft and Apple are going to come with a tablet announcement this month? If Microsoft wants to be successful with this, they gotta have a super awesome app store, and from what I've heard, this isn't quite the case yet.

Zeen sounds lame, but to be fair, not any worse than iSlate.

IsLate?

IsLaté

I could go for a hot IsLaté right about now. When is apple releasing it? Will Starbucks carry it?

Zeen is a retarded name. And the slogan is even worse. There is no afterlife you numbskulls. And if there was, the key wouldn't be something called zeen. It would be a peen. And every guy gets to enter. Girls must accompany a guy in order to get access.

But if it is this thing then I will buy it Day 1 for sure.

I hate what the newly technologically aware population has done to companies trying to market things geared towards them... wacky stupid names and phrases and shit.

Zeen? Sounds like something to whiten teeth or clean toilet bowls. God, that's a horrible name.

First they came for the tv shows, and I did not speak out—because I did not watch TV;
Then they came for the movies, and I did not speak out—because I did not watch movies;
Then they came for the games, and I did not speak out—because I did not play games;
Then they came for the technology, and I did not speak out—because I was lazy;
Then they came for me, and there was no one left to treat me like an intelligent adult.
