To All,

By the way, if you'd like to participate in this discussion on Twitter, compose 
a tweet that includes the hash tag NameMyAI.

For example one might tweet, (without the quotation marks), "I would #NameMyAI 
Bubba."
Include the @AppleSupport handle in your tweet and, who knows, perhaps Apple 
will take your suggestion.

Mark

Subject: Re: Naming Your Personal Digital Assistant

Oliver, though he does sound eerily like a former coworker named Sebastian. 

Here are my 3 new names though in no particular order. 

Data
AI
and of course, Computer 

No stupid (deleted expletive) is not one of mine, not yet anyway.
