I was a first generation Roku customer. Being the sixth company founded by Anthony Wood, he named it the Japanese word for six.
Today, I have two Roku sticks and Amazon’s me-too product, the Fire TV stick. (Fire TV has two technical advantages — there is an optional external Ethernet adapter, and the remote can control home theater receivers.)
With today’s announcement, Roku will no longer be the company it was. What’s the Japanese word for fox?
Roku is being bought out by Fox for $22 billion
