Update: iTunes 8 apparently fixed

A quick FYI: I mentioned a couple of weeks ago that iTunes 8 was causing Blue Screen of Death on some computers. This seems to have been resolved: Apple has put out a new version of the program that rolls back the problematic driver that was causing the crash. So I might finally allow it to update, as it's been begging to do...

What will this month be called?

A light question about a serious topic: when the historians write about the roller-coaster ride we're in the middle of, what will they call it?

I mean, every important historical event gets a catchy name, from "Watergate" to "9/11" to "Black Monday". It's clear to me that this September is one that they'll be talking about for decades to come, which means that they *will* settle on a common name for it eventually. How long it takes for such a name to arise ranges from days to years, but there's no time like the present.

So here's your chance to influence the history books. What would *you* call this mess?

Fine print: Winner will be selected by consensus of historians in 20 years. It is not guaranteed that any entrant will win. Chances of winning are directly proportional to relevance and pithiness of name, but it is entirely possible that these will not matter. Bad puns do not guarantee victory. Keep your hands inside the ride at all times.
