I've noticed, looking through my Applications folder on OS X, that most OS X apps are some basic noun or Adjective+Noun combination that are somehow related to the function of the program. IRC client is Conversation, video screen capture app is ScreenFlow, picture viewing app is Preview, text editor is TextEdit, etc. There aren't that many iApps. That's sooooo 1990's.
EDIT: I almost forgot. Next: external HD.
