Now that the excitement about the new websites has decreased a little, I think it is a shame that the new company is called Masrani. Ofcourse, after the events of it makes sense that InGen can only exists as a side branch of a bigger organisation. But why did they choose the name Masrani?

The Jurassic Park media already contained names of other companies. To name a few:
 * Hamachi
 * Nishihara
 * BioSyn

Other Crichton novels also contained names of large high tech companies:


 * Media Tronics (from Prey)
 * Xymos (from Prey)
 * Intel (from Congo)
 * TechGate, (from Timeline), produces computer chips
 * International Technology Corporation (from Timeline), corporation that produces quantum computers
 * Nakamoto Corporation (from Rising Sun)
 * MicroCon (from Rising Sun)

The Masrani website contains lots of pictures and history. It would have been so nice if we could have added all that information and pictures to the Hamachi article so that the company could finally get a face and be known by the movie-only fans. It would have been a nice salute to the Jurassic Park lore.

Instead, we get lots and lots of background information about a company that no JP fan has ever heard off and was not part of JP lore before.

Do not get me wrong. I am VERY glad with the new websites and the direction the JP franchise is going. I'm sure I'll learn to love/fear the Masrani Corporation. I just would have enjoyed Hamachi better.

What do you people think?
