Mozilla baru2 ini ngeluain software mobile browser, namanya fennec, kok fennec??? Pas nyari2 di google ternyata ketemu penjelasannya, bahkan lengkap dengan penjelasan nama2 software dari mozilla lainnya. Tadinya aku kira nama ini hanya biar berkesan cacthy ato keren aja(kayak FUPEI :p). Berikut ini beberapa nama binatang yang dijadiin nama softwarenya mereka:
Firefox - contrary to the popular belief, Firefox is not just a very cool fox or a fox on fire; it’s a distinct animal species that actually looks quite similar to the one on the popular Web browser’s logo. Its name is Red Panda, it’s a herbivorous mammal that feeds on bamboo, and lives only in the Himalayas in Bhutan, southern China, India, Laos, Nepal, and Burma. If you ever see one, please don’t try to spin it into the Firefox logo position for photographing; it won’t like it and will probably bite you.
Fennec - unlike the Firefox, the Fennec Fox is actually a fox. The folks at Mozilla probably named their mobile browser after the Fennec because the animal is quite small for a fox, weighing up to 1.5 kg with a body length of up to 40 cm. What it lacks in general size, it makes up in ear size, which can grow up to 15 cm in length. It lives in the Sahara Desert of North Africa, feeds on rodents, insects, birds, eggs, and probably doesn’t care much about mobile browsing.
Songbird - the Firefox-based media player, Songbird is also named after an animal. Although neither Songbird’s old nor new logo look much like it. Songbird or oscine is “a bird belonging to the suborder Passeri, in which the vocal organ is developed in such a way as to produce various sound notes, commonly known as bird song.” There are many species of songbirds; interestingly enough, crows - which produce rather unpleasant sounds, at least to the human ear - are one of them.
Thunderbird - unlike other animals in this list, is either extinct or never existed, depending on which type of thunderbird you’re referring to. Phorusrhacidae, also known as terror birds, were giant flightless birds that lived in South America during the Cenozoic, and they weren’t nice at all, especially if they considered you as prey (which they often did with mammals of all sizes).
If we’re talking cryptozoology, Thunderbird is a large bird-like creature rumored by some to still wander the Americas. Mozilla’s Thunderbird - once a very important part of their product range - today seems to be on the verge of extinction, too. It’s still being actively developed, and it’s a great e-mail client; the problem is that no one really cares much about desktop e-mail clients anymore.
Eit… ada satu lagi yang nggak disangka-sangka, ternyata:
Yahoo - besides being the popular Web portal and “the company that should have taken Microsoft’s offer before everything went to hell,” the word yahoo usually denominates a loud, unintelligent brute. However, there’s another meaning to the word: it’s the popular name for the Grey-crowned Babbler, a bird that inhabits Australia, Indonesia, and Papua New Guinea. Besides its rather specific call which probably gave her the name Yahoo, it doesn’t seem to be particularly interesting.
Hohohohoho, ternyata… Hmm… bikin domain apa yah yg unik2 kayak begini tapi nama binatang di Indonesia…
