If we're asking where are all the parties, I'd also like to ask what are we missing out on by not having them? What is the draw? What are some of the reasons for making the effort to host or go to them?

Your comment really gave me pause. I've used FileMaker for many years but never gave the name that much thought.

I can't say how the name was chosen. But, I believe I understand the justification for it. It is pretty straightforward once the metaphor is clear. The files it is making are the type of files that go into filing cabinets, not the files on a computer. Early versions of the software had a logo/picture of a building that was a giant filing cabinet and the app logo has usually been a filing folder.

The name makes sense in that isn't about making files on a computer but to help small business convert physical files found in filing cabinets into digital ones in wysiwyg database.

I remember finding "Photoshop" nonsensical at first because I associated a shop with a place to go buy things and it only made sense once I made the association that cars and such are taken to the shop for repairs.

It does make more sense in context. Crowley isn't a stereotypical evil demon and could reasonably be considered a failure as a demon.

I think the horror comes from the thought that a being whose entire job is to come up with new and clever ways to bring about human misery and suffering is so thoroughly out-classed. The idea that humanity doesn't need an outside influence to inflict such evil is horrific. The joke is just there as window dressing to contrast the real horrors of our collective history.

What did Microsoft learn from Apple here?

I feel like if you were able to remember those product placements that would be a failure for the advertisers.

The best product placements are the ones that go unnoticed.

I'd be curious to see with other options exist, but the one that I know is Filemaker Pro. I'm only familiar with the stand alone version, and while expensive, to me it sounds exactly like what you're talking about wanting.
