There's already an app for when it fails: Remember the Milk.



A little snarky, no? With all the talk of "save HN", comments like this really don't seem to add anything worthwhile to the discussion.


A little snarky, yes. Naming a development team 'Milk' is like naming an iPhone app 'Color'.


Your previous comment had nothing to do with the disadvantages of the name and everything to do with making a clever, ironic joke, which, by the way, was negative to begin with ("for when it fails".)

Unless you think that "Milk" is a bad name because a random iPhone app's name can be used in a roundabout way.

I hate to be so critical, but Reddit-style comments like this really don't belong here.


O. I forgot to mention that–it was also a test to see how a reddit-comment would fare. Mixed results–but I'd say HN has fallen, considering only one person attacked me for it.
