It's gonna be GRRRREAT!
In this NYTimes article about Apple's new OS, code-named Tiger, one Apple VP had this to say about his company's relationship to Microsoft: "We're becoming a tiny dim red light in their headlights." Oddly enough, it turns out that the very first page of the Public Relations Handbook says "never describe your company as a tiny dim red light."
(And about the title: The OS is called Tiger, so I thought of Tony the Tiger. And I happen to be eating Frosted Flakes right now. So sue me.)

Using that line is gonna hurt, Andy. I mean, I mean, I mean, I'm talking about infringement of trademark and plagiarism and all the rest. After all, I just used that line (and given my name with much more justification) yesterday in the newspaper: http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2005/04/12/BAG2FC6OCM1.DTL
(On the other hand, I didn't actually say that our security project would be good because it would put an end to independent research projects.)

Sorry about the infringement. I'll stick to Lucky Charms references from now on. I promise.
