Apparently, "Zune" is very similar to a Hebrew word which one does
not use in mixed company.

    Blogger "Mickeleh" saw some irony in the name Zune; In Hebrew, if
    you pronounce the "u" like in the word "tribune," it translates
    into a vulgarity beginning with "f" that means screwed, "which
    apparently all the vendors who followed Microsoft down the 'plays
    for sure' road seem to be," he wrote.
