    Microsoft is attempting to trademark the phrase “Microsoft Mod” in a move being interpreted as step towards renaming the Windows 8/8.1 interface.

            If you are renaming cojak, then can I suggest "She's a very nice person, great fun and I've even met her".

            Do I win a free Get Out Of Jail card?

                yes I read the article,

                El Reg started the joke, I just carried it on.

                I thought it would be a laugh to see what new names we could come up with.

                obviously you two missed the point. Far too serious.

                ctdctd & HyperD got the idea. edit MF got it as well so it obviously wasn't too obscure!

                  or harking back to the '50s, start calling them rockers?
