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.
