Re:Buzzwords and the Paradox of Credibility by gojomo on Tuesday June 29, 2010 @01:42PM (#1472157)
'Magical' and 'revolutionary' aren't buzzwords. Buzzwords are widely used, or even overused, and tend to imply some specific (often technical) meaning, though that meaning drifts with abuse over time. 'Open' or 'standards-based' or 'enterprise-grade security' are buzzwords.

'Magical' and 'revolutionary' are not widely used in competitive product descriptions, and don't have specific meanings -- they're intentionally vague. They're meant as, and understood as, evocative puffery.
