Genericized Trademarks

I assume the string "Kleenex, Xerox, Taser, Google" is a list of genericized trademarks, and all I have to say is:

"Don't Xerox me, bro!"

I'd like to tell people not to Google me either, but that would be sketch.

Also, in SF last weekend--Bobby will like this one:

"Do you like hiking?"

"Sure."

"Have you been up to Coit Tower?"

"No."

"Oh, it's amazing. You get this three-hundred-sixty-five-degree view of San Francisco, it's just beautiful."

"Woah. That's really an amazing view. I don't think I've ever gotten a 365-degree view of the city. The best I've seen is from the Bay Bridge, but even that's not 365 degrees."

"Yeah. You have to see it. We should go sometime."

"Sure."

I've been asking around about cell-phone locks, and the consequences have been:

1 (minor consequence): Learning that cell phone locks are not at all unusual, and learning that many (perhaps most) of my friends use them.

2 (major consequence): Thinking that perhaps I had better set up a lock on my own phone.
