I was just wondering why SparkFun doesn't change their name to ArduinoFun. Any thoughts?
Where electronics enthusiasts find answers.

Maybe I'm just another Arduino haterThere's people out that hate on every big company that had an idea and made money off of that idea. Microsoft, Google, Hilton, Mouser, Ebay, IBM..

I'm a SparkFun customer who is just irritated by how dramatically their focus shifted to Arduino. Not irritated enough to hate them or stop being a customer - just irritated enough to make a snarky comment and/or let off a little of that anti-Arduino steam in the form of a rant.
