    Post T-Mobile trademarks the color magenta

    I ran across this today; it amused me.

    OOH OOH, I call dibs on Cerulean Blue, as Blue I am!, SeerBlue
    SeerBlue is me, but more importantly the Four Happy Carpet Orcs +2 (FHCO +2) are Lizzy (BumbleMouse, 16), Race (Raith Eliathy, 11), Roy (Ol' Horsehair, 9), and Lena Marie (Lemur, 6) Kimi (Whurm,2), and Sachiko (MoMo,1)
    All creative inspiration is theirs, from characters to maps to tells, I only fill in the details.

    The company Orange tried to do the same thing with that colour too w.r.t all orange coloured consumer goods. Didn't work tho. What they mean and should have written is that the T logo *in* the colour magenta is trademarked.

    It used to annoy me the way MS used to use very simple names for all their stuff to try to get total dominance - think of Paint, Word, and even Windows. The problem now is that with the internet, if you type in 'word' into google you get a squillion hits of everything and their product is watered down in amongst it. I reckon the whole deal has backfired.
