Really, rebranding from Chromecast to Google TV Streamer? Who the fuck was the genius that greenlighted this?
I knew someone who worked at a really well loved local restaurant. One day a new manager came in and IMMEDIATELY wanted to change the name. According to him, you should change a restaurant’s name every 2 years
Why would you ruin the recognition you already have? He was also planning on changing the name to be the exact same as a business down the street. I think he was an idiot
“Give this man a raise and promotion” – some MBA somewhere
Because the dude comes from a corporate world where everybody’s known for stagnation, not quality, so changing the name gets rid of am association with stagnation BUT also gets rid of an association with quality if that’s the reputation you’ve built up and these types can not understand that because they’ve never worked in a place putting quality first
Probably the same guy that greenlights unwanted UI changes in all their products.
they make 6.1 million dollars per day for their executive savvy
Yep. Someone thinks the Google name has some crazy value.
