Wow. Doesn't at all rip off another logo at all now, does it.

Link to the original story (and my crazy rants underneath it :/) :

To be fair, with the name 'iPlayer', the BBC don't have a leg to stand on.

I've never thought about it before but what does the "i" in iPod and iPlayer actually mean?

I don't think it stands for anything. It's just a hip, snazzy name for a cool product that kids use.

Am I right?

It was probably created by Apple for bullshit marketing speak like "i" = "you", as in "iPod" = "your Pod" or something rubbish like that.

It started with the original iMac and stood for internet. A big part of the early iMac ads were how easy it was to get online with them. Then Apple just adopted it as a sort of offical logo.

I don't think it's anything to get too worked up about.

iPlayer works and has a few good things on it.
itvPlayer doesn't appear to work and almost exclusively has shit things on it.

The Wire you say? Already got it on DVD.
