It's also a spanish word. Will be interesting to find out what are
they planning to use it for.

I find it amusing seeing announcements for something that it does not
exist yet or it's not yet 100% clear how to get and when you will get
it, and the argument that people will remember ".canon" better than
".canon.com", well is borderline stupid.

Cheers
