I might also point out that "Keystone" was the name of 3 (now failed) nightclubs in Berkeley, Palo Alto and San Francisco. It's also the name of a really bad beer made by Coors.
When I Googled "Keysight", the first link that popped up in the search was this one: http://keysightinc.com/index.html. Weight loss and lottery decoders… Hmmm… They might want to slip Eric Schmidt some cash!
