CISCO

It is not an acronym as popularly believed. It is short for San Francisco.

Compaq

This name was formed by using COMp, for computer, and PAQ to denote a small integral object.

Corel

The name was derived from the founder''s name Dr.Michael Cowpland. It stands for COwpland REsearch Laboratory.

Google

The name started as a joke boasting about the amount of information the search-engine would be able to search. It was originally named ''Googol'', a word for the number represented by 1 followed by 100 zeros.After founders - Stanford graduate students Sergey Brin and Larry Page presented their project to an angel investor, they received a cheque made out to ''Google''

Hotmail

Founder Jack Smith got the idea of accessing e-mail via the web from a computer anywhere in the world.When Sabeer Bhatia came up with the business plan for the mail service, he tried all kinds of names ending in ''mail'' and finally settled for hotmail as it included the letters "html" - the programming language used to write web pages. It was initially referred to as HoTMaiL with selective uppercasing.

Hewlett Packard

Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard tossed a coin to decide whether the company they founded would be called Hewlett-Packard or Packard-Hewlett.

Intel

Bob Noyce and Gordon Moore wanted to name their new company ''Moore Noyce'' but that was already trademarked by a hotel chain so they had to settle for an acronym of INTegrated ELectronics.

Mitch Kapor got the name for his company from ''The Lotus Position'' or ''Padmasana''. Kapor used to be a teacher of Transcendental Meditation of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.

Microsoft

ORACLE

Larry Ellison and Bob Oats were working on a consulting project for the CIA (Central Intelligence Agency). The code name for the project was called Oracle (the CIA saw this as the system to give answers to all questions or something such). The project was designed to help use the newly written SQL code by IBM. The project eventually was terminated but Larry and Bob decided to finish what they started and bring it to the world. They kept the name Oracle and created the RDBMS engine. Later they kept the same name for the company.

Sony

It originated from the Latin word ''sonus'' meaning sound, and ''sonny'' a slang used by Americans to refer to a bright youngster.(Hey,Watchout,What is the meaning of the same word in tamil?lol..)

ITs my space.

Hi Friends. Thanks for voting in the poll . The Winner of Best seminar award is Mr.Jram. (Hey, who all voted for him?What he gave u? ask for treat:) )
HUKUM, Our friend came up with yet another method for swapping using '*" and */*.
a=a*b;
b=a/b;
a=a/b;
This is the method. Though Multiplication is repeative addition and division is repeative subtraction. I really felt Hukum has done a great job. So this is wat i thought, v can swap two variables using symbols that are inverse of each other. '+' and '-'. '*' and '/'.

Sarkozy, Bruni tie the knot

French president marries Italian girlfriend after three-month romance

PARIS -- French President Nicolas Sarkozy married supermodel-turned-singer Carla Bruni at the Elysee Palace on Saturday, just three months after they started dating, French officials and family said.The pair tied the knot at a low-key, civil ceremony conducted by the mayor of the Paris district that houses the president's grandiose official residence.

Another official told Reuters the wedding took place at 11.00 a.m. local time and Italian news agency ANSA quoted Ms. Bruni's mother, Marisa Borini, as confirming the event.Mr. Sarkozy's spokesman declined to comment.Mr. Sarkozy and Ms. Bruni indicated last month that they planned to marry after a whirlwind romance and made clear that it would be a private affair, far from the eyes of the press.

Their relationship has been splashed across the media and Mr. Sarkozy's popularity ratings have plunged in recent weeks, with voters complaining that the president was focusing too much on his private life and not enough on the country's many problems, including rising prices and flagging consumer confidence.

Now they are wed, Mr. Sarkozy might find it easier to manage the relationship because BMs. runi will become the first lady of France and will start travelling with him on his many overseas trips.Mr. Lebel said the wedding took place in a room on the first floor of the Elysee Palace and lasted about 20 minutes.

"There were around 20 people there, close family and a few friends," he said. The mayor said the last French head of state to marry while in office was Napoleon III in 1853.

Mr. Sarkozy, 53, separated from his second wife Cecilia last October following an 11-year marriage and just five months after winning power. His colleagues said he was deeply upset by the divorce.However, friends say he started seeing 40-year-old Bruni the following month and they were photographed visiting Paris Disneyland together in December. They then spent the Christmas holidays together in Egypt and Jordon.Photos of the glamorous couple sparked a media backlash against Mr. Sarkozy, who was widely described as "president Bling Bling", obsessed by the rich and famous. One opposition leader dubbed him a modern-age Louis XIV, France's "Sun King."

Their quickfire relationship also surprised many in his entourage.

Ms. Bruni, 40, has been portrayed as a man-eater in the press and has previously been linked with rock stars Mick Jagger and Eric Clapton, as well as U.S. businessman Donald Trump and French former Socialist Prime Minister Laurent Fabius.While she is a well-known leftist sympathizer, Mr. Sarkozy is a right-winger, viewed as a law and order hardliner.Mr. Sarkozy's own mother urged him not to re-marry after his divorce and Ms. Bruni herself has spoken out against marriage. "I'm monogamous from time to time, but I prefer polygamy and polyandry," she told the Figaro Madame magazine a year ago.

She has a son from a previous relationship, while Mr. Sarkozy has two grown-up sons from his first marriage, and a third son from his marriage to Cecilia.Ms. Bruni threw a surprise birthday party for Mr. Sarkozy last week at her plush Paris home and friends say the pair are extremely happy together.

RTL radio said Mr. Sarkozy's witness at the wedding was Nicolas Bazire, a senior figure in the LVMH luxury goods group, while Ms. Bruni's witness was Mathilde Agostinelli, head of communications at Prada France.The radio station also quoted Bernadette Chirac, wife of previous French President Jacques Chirac, as saying getting married at the Elysee, the president's official residence, was "a wonderful thing".

"I want to express all my best wishes to this new household. She is very, very beautiful," she added.

ITS My Space-3

Microsoft Offers $44.6B for Yahoo

Microsoft has come up with an unsolicited takeover offer of $44.6 Billion in its boldest bit to challenge the Google Inc. The surprise offer of $31 per share, made late Thursday and announced Friday, seizes on Yahoo's weakness while Microsoft tries to muscle up in a high-stakes battle with Google likely to define the technology landscape for years to come.In a statement Friday, Yahoo said it will "carefully and promptly" study Microsoft's bid. "This is a decision we have -- and I have -- thought long and hard about," Microsoft Chief Executive Steve Ballmer said. "We are confident it's the right path for Microsoft and Yahoo."In a letter released Friday, Ballmer pointedly noted"A year has gone by, and the competitive situation has not improved".The fate of Yahoo's brand also is unclear if Microsoft takes over. Both Ballmer and Kevin Johnson, president of Microsoft's platforms and services division, hailed Yahoo's strong brand value but didn't commit to keeping the name alive.
