McCarthyism
The term McCarthyism was coined during Joseph McCarthy's time as senator. It was a campaign that was against alleged communists in the U.S. Because of this, several of the accused communists were blacklisted. Some even lost their jobs when in fact they were not even a communist. This campaign ran during the early 1950s.

Video Games and Bullying
Personally, I don't believe that video games play a role in bullying. I have plenty of friends who have played video games their entire lives and are not violent people. Yes, there is trash talk involved, but nothing too serious. However, I do feel that when people become obsessed with a type of media or entertainment (video games, movies, tv shows, books) it can alter their sense of reality. The video game itself isn't responsible for bullying, the person behind the controller is. Like Santiago said, those who are mentally ill can take the game out of context. It becomes a social norm and reality to them. This could result in violent behavior and bullying.

Apple
Apple co-founder, Steve Wozniak, explained that Steve Jobs used to work in an orchard in Oregon. Wozniak stated that he wasn't sure if there were actual apple trees on the orchard, but he assumes so. Later on, he met up with a someone whose brother had worked on the farm with jobs. That mans brother was the one who actually told Jobs that he should name is company "apple". It was very simple and easy to remember. Present time, everyone knows of the amazing company, Apple Computers!
