Um, Pandora's Box was a box left at Epimetheus' and Pandora's house as
a trap by the gods; they weren't supposed to open it because it wasn't
their property.  But Pandora couldn't resist the temptation, opened
the box, and let out all of the evil, disease, crime and death that
Zeus had put into the box, which was now loosed into world and gave us
the misery we currently experience.

So I would have to say this is a profoundly bad thing to name
something you really want people to use in order to improve their
lives.  But that's just me.
