Default 50 Worst Company Names

List from lightreading.com - mostly tech companies. I especially like #1.

1) Phartronics Engineering (no Website, sadly... just follow your nose)
They can measure everything these days!

2) Ebone Broadband Services Ltd.

BeLight-I guess it's the opposite of BeDark

Jedai Networks-Bring you light sabre

Tyco Telecomm-No they don't make trains

Photonex-It's between PhotonW and PhotonY

Lightwaves 20/20- You can see them perfectly

Quantum Bridge-You use it to cross the quantum stream

The communication industry is full of very novel names.

Let's not forget Lucent and Agilent. What do they mean, why are they so similar, and why are their logos both stylized circles.
