    Apple Squad
    Mac Squad
    Apple Core (not sure if wave was joking, but it sounds cool)
    Mactopia
    Mac Lounge
    Mac Team
    OS X Team

    Please vote, and I guess the majority rules. If there are more (better) suggestions, I will add them.

    I'm really undecided...I don't know, I find Apple Core is lacking...its like we're calling ourselves Apple Macs...it needs to be Apple Core Squad or Team or something, in my opinion.

    Have any of you seen "Pirates of Silicon Valley"? Steve called it Mac team, Apple team and there were sub-teams working on different projects called Mac 1 or 2 teams etc. There was also a pirate team, it was called so because it was a group of all nighters.

    If you guys like pirates then name it "Pirates of Mac Valley" :p

    Im thinking about it and 'The Apple Core' sounds better. Apple Core Team is a bit of a mouthful. However i still like the Apple core idea

    Well, I'd accept both, really...its just I feel the name Apple Core seems incomplete.

    And the way I was "envisioning" it, it'd be The Core Team with an Apple logo, but okay :).

    no offense but all the names sounded so gay to me except Apple Core and Mactopia. You guys gotta think as creative as Apple.

    Sam, can you add Apple Nation to the list? And is there a way to change my vote?

    Some other ideas spring to mind as well:
    1. Mac Knights
    2. Apple Knights <-- maybe not

    I picked OS X Team. This was after I saw the results that Apple Core was winning. I like both, but I like OSX Team better. BTW, Mactopia is M$ name for it's Apple software web site. I can't get beyond the dry heaves when I think of that name.

    Apple Core seems incomplete? I was thinking that the full name would be NBR Apple Core, which sounds fine, but if you really want longer....

    Apple Core 2 Extreme QX9770 :D

    Hmm, Apple Core is definitely in the lead. And yeah, I've gotten used to NBR Apple Core as well, I don't mind it anymore :p.

    Apple Core sounds lame... Mac Team is better. OS X team is cool and all but will be obsolete when they move to another OS that doesnt have the name OS X... Also OS X is the name of an operating system... you REALLY want to have a team named after an operating system? That is nerdy as heck!

    I was actually going to wait until tomorrow....the poll is only a day old, figured I'd give it one more day and call it good.

    However, I'm pretty sure that unless a dozen people come and make a concentrated effort to knock Apple Core off the top spot, its likely going to be the name, so we might as well make a thread.

    I got dibs on that though :p

    Hell with them, nobody reads ZDNet anyways.

    Anyhow, the thread is opened, which means this poll is now irrelevant. Just saying.
