Interesting, Dell did the same change a few years ago.

Subject: (somewhat OT) " Apple Computer, Inc." no more
Jobs has announced a name change:
"SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Apple Computer CEO Steve Jobs on Tuesday made the
company's long-awaited jump into the mobile phone business and renamed the
company to just "Apple Inc.," reflecting its increasing focus on consumer
electronics.
He said the name change is meant to reflect the fact that Apple has matured
from a computer manufacturer to a full-fledged consumer
electronics
company."
I wonder if "devolved" or "degraded" might better describe the change
than
"matured".
