On: Google to acquire Apigee

[randallsquared]

The word "apogee" literally means the highest point in the course of something. Apogee Software and Apigee both play off the english word meaning.

[jedanbik → randallsquared]

So there's that, and then the Apigee split out like Api-gee makes you think gee, that must have something to do with APIs.

[cptskippy → jedanbik]

Gee makes me think Ghee which makes me want Indian food. Indian food comes from India where we outsource software development and APIs are used in software development.

So it's a circular reference.

[p333347 → cptskippy]

Gee!

[pluma → randallsquared]

Interesting. I wasn't aware it's an actual English word. I don't think I've ever seen it outside of the company name.
