“Apple doesn’t back its Time Tunnel up”

Time Machine could have been named Time Tunnel, as noted on Patently Apple. That trademark, registered by Apple in late 2006, is now abandoned. (Time Machine arrived in Mac OS X Leopard in October of 2007.)

That interface makes a hell of a lot more sense now. Wonder if they switched it around because of copyright or because the swirly background made users sick.
