update spamming
When a company notifies you of a product update that is a contrivance to send you stealth marketing spam. A cousin of "do you like our product, we love you spamming". Works on the notion of keeping a company name and product name in front of people so they can't help but think of you for future purchases. Still is annoying spam but most people are clueless so it is accepted.
Try as I might to avoid spam, I get plenty of update spamming since the masses are clueless and blindly accept it.

update addiction
A debilitating psychological condition which affects computer users everywhere. Update addiction has to do with the excessive downloading of software updates and should not be confused with an Updating Whore. You are likely an update addict if...
You click "Software Update..." (on Mac) or "Windows Update" (on Windows) more than three times a day.
You cannot resist buying the latest version of software or operating system -- even if you don't need, want, or even care to know about the new features.
You click "Check for updates" every time you run a program.
You stay up late watching the progress bar to make sure your latest update "really updated."
You get frustrated by stable software because it doesn't require updates every other day. So you always choose beta or nightly builds to ensure that you can download a maximum number of updates.

Whale
In sales terms, a whale is a prospect that is significantly larger than an organization’s average customer.
Whales are large and extremely difficult to close. Due to their immense size, they are highly sought-after.
A whale is typically identified at first by a whale hunter on the sales team, but often requires cross-discipline participation in order to close; this includes assistance from operations, engineering, creative, client success, and business development teams.
