I'm pretty sure I've never entered any information in there. How would one device be named, then?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Well, I haven't named my three Android devices, so they showed as their default product names. I edited "Thrive" to "dcpThrive" and then went to play.google.com and picked an app (SwiftKey was the first suggestion). At the beginning of the line that tells me the app is compatible with all my devices, I clicked on the green info icon. A list of my devices dropped down, including"dcpThrive."

When I drop down the list in Play, I get three devices, one named by me. When I look in Device Manager, which I've never been in before (nor granted location permission until now), it shows me four devices, one named.
I'm assuming that after my devices got associated to that email address the name was propagated to both applications, but I certainly didn't set the name there.

There are "modbooks" out there that remove the mac keyboard and replace the screen with a touchscreen. I have no idea how well they work. Presumalby you add a blu-ray keyboard if yo wish.

What is a blu ray keyboard?

Bluetooth. Sorry don't use then so don't necessarily remember the name.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Note: I do not have a device name option in Settings/About
When I go to Settings in the Play store, I see a list of my devices and "Edit" buttons next to each one. When I click the Edit button, the names become editable.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Anyone know Ruby? I'm learning it for work, and I can't get a "Hello World" program to work.
My program is:
puts “Hello, Tom!”
And I get this when I run it:
hello.rb:1: syntax error, unexpected tIDENTIFIER, expecting keyword_do or '{' or '('
puts “Hello, Tom!”
I'm using the Ruby that came installed in my new Macbook Pro. Perhaps a version or setup issue? The Ruby version is:
ruby 2.0.0p247 (2013-06-27 revision 41674) [universal.x86_64-darwin13]
I read that the program file must be ANSI encoded. I'm using TextEdit. I've tried saving the file as Unicode (UTF-8) and Western (Mac OS Roman). Maybe neither of these are ANSI encoded?Maybe I need a better text editor?
eta: Pretty sure it's an encoding issue--maybe TextEdit can't save a text file as ANSI encoded?
eta²: Never mind. I changed the code to singe-quotes and it worked. (The example in my book had double-quotes.)
