Apple is welcome to give any name they want to their product. But when they confuse users to the extent that otherwise-smart web developers start producing "retina.js" to manage resolution independent images (hardly an Apple-specific problem!) then the practice has gone too far.


How would Apple go about unconfusing users? Should they vet future feature names to make sure they're not likely to become too popular?
