The reference goes a bit deeper than some random American media
company. I'm assuming this reference is to a derivative of the Nautilus
file manager. And the connection between both names comes from Jules
Verne's novel "20,000 Leagues Under The Sea". "Nautilus" was the name of
the (futuristic, for its time) submarine, and "Nemo" was the name used
by its captain. But that was just a pseudonym, a Latin word meaning
"nobody".
