"Brick" has a negative connotation in the tech world.


My first impression from the title was some kind of Firefox phone debacle.


And "Pad" has a negative connotation in the rest of the world... Didn't stop Apple though.


I got the same impression of Mozilla locks up base on the title. :-)


except for LEGO


Yes LEGO can be used with technology it's not a thing typically associated with "tech".


most tech people I know are aware of or have used LEGO bricks, and 'brick' as a negative tech term is recent afaik.
