Comment on Introducing Avocado: A new toolbox for interaction designers

Comments

Avocado ... Also called alligator pear. a large, usually pear-shaped fruit having green to blackish skin, a single large seed, and soft, light-green pulp, borne by the tropical American tree Persea americana and its variety P. adrymifolia, often eaten raw, especially in salads.

What does this product have to do with Avocados? I know you had to call it something ... but why Avocado? Enough with the trendy product names!

Avocado the tool is like a real avocado because there's a rich buttery filling over a nut in the center. The nut in the center is Quartz. Quartz is tough nut to crack and so are avocado nuts. But what Avocado the tool does is add a nice buttery layer of patches (like the avocado soft filling) over the tough nut to bring out the goodness. Hence the name Avocado. It's really that simple

There's a paragraph about this in the post. Did you read it?
