Rosetta !!

"Rosetta Stone" a term coming down from the egyption history has been used very conveniently for a tool for foreign language learning. You could check it out here.
"Rosetta" term has been used in so many different scenes ranging from company names to calender conversion application to spaceprobes. Its facinating to see the level of contrast and the spread of this term. One usage which is of much interest to me and to the many fellow Macintosh users is the powerPC emulator that will be shipped with intel-based Mac OS X(here).
The fasinating thing is that more often the usage of the term is in conversion or understanding something which is not in the domain.

Great going rosetta!!
