Any piece of software for which "Click the 'hot dog' button" is a non-ironic command is probably best avoided...



I'm pretty sure that the button they are referring to is part of Chrome, not divx.


Oops - I just realised that myself. Still a) that's /really/not common enough parlance to be using in a support forum and b) that usage just trivialises the (very important) issue, at least in my ear. I don't get the impression that Conduit are taking this seriously. Still, I guess I'll never forget the name for that icon now :)


Apparently it's what the Chrome developers themselves call it [1].

I'd never heard the name before the original link either. It just makes me wonder even more how such an icon became as widespread as that one is.
