Death Star n.
[from the movie "Star Wars"] 1. The AT&T corporate logo,
which appears on computers sold by AT&T and bears an uncanny
resemblance to the Death Star in the movie. This usage is
particularly common among partisans of BSD Unix, who tend to regard the AT&T versions
as inferior and AT&T as a bad guy. Copies still circulate of
a poster printed by Mt. Xinu showing a starscape with a space
fighter labeled 4.2 BSD streaking away from a broken AT&T
logo wreathed in flames. 2. AT&T's internal magazine,
"Focus", uses `death star' to describe an incorrectly done
AT&T logo in which the inner circle in the top left is dark
instead of light -- a frequent result of dark-on-light logo
images.
