Origin of the Name of Famous IT Industries
- Adobe : This came from name of the river Adobe Creek that ran behind the house of founder John Warnock.
- Apple Computers : It was the favorite fruit of founder Steve Jobs. He was three months late in filing a name for the business, and he threatened to call his company Apple Computers if the other colleagues did not suggest a better name by
- CISCO : It is not an acronym as popularly believed. It is short for
- 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 1 00 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.
- Lotus (Notes) : 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.
- Mercedes : This was actually the financier's daughter's name.
- Microsoft : Coined by Bill Gates to represent the company that was devoted to MICROcomputer SOFTware. Originally christened Micro-Soft, the '-' was removed later on.
- Motorola : Founder Paul Galvin came up with this name when his company started manufacturing radios for cars. The popular radio company at the time was called Victrola.
- 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.
- SUN : Founded by 4
- Yahoo : The word was invented by Jonathan Swift and used in his book 'Gulliver's Travels'. It represents a person who is repulsive in appearance and action and is barely human. Yahoo! Founders Jerry Yang and David Filo selected the name because they considered themselves yahoos.
Why does slicing an Onion make Eyes Burn?
Like all other plants, onions are also made of cells; but the onion cells contain sulfur elements.
When we slice the onions, the cells break and release the sulfur vapors. Sulfur has a bad odor, and when these vapors mix with the moisture of our eyes a chemical reaction takes place which produces molecules such as ethylsufine which make your eyes burn.
The eyes then produce tears to wash and dilute the chemicals – in other words the tears are a natural reaction of the body so that the offensive chemicals can be washed away.
As long as we keep on slicing the onions, more and more cells will break which will produce more sulfur vapors, and hence more and more tears!
To prevent the tears, try cutting the onions in a bowl of water. The water helps dissolve the sulfur elements, so that they do not reach your eyes and this prevents the tears from flowing.

For the purposes of Your Film Festival, this includes online/internet (including internet television), in-flight and film festival rights. Remember, if any music appears in your entry, even if it’s in the background, you must clear it. If you are using any recording, you must also clear that separately. Music clearance can be complex, time-consuming, and expensive (particularly for any pre-existing music and/or recording which you intend to license), so make sure you leave plenty of time to obtain clearances and seek professional advice if you are unsure about how to do so. Again, if selected as a semi-finalist or alternate, you may be required to provide copies of these rights and clearances.

How to Write Essay
Most of us have been writing essays right from our childhood. Some of us may have really liked this, some would do it just because it is a part of our curriculum and others would just hate it. Regardless of what people think about essay writing, it is definitely fun at some point or the other. It depends on the kind of topic you choose.
If you want to write essays in a professional manner, you need to keep some rules in mind. These are rules that need to be followed when defining the body of an essay, the introduction, different paragraphs and closing. Most essays can range from five paragraphs and the others may go on and on to twenty pages or more depending on the requirement of the topic. An essay needs to be true to the topic. It must provide clear explanation on your point of view. A good essay writer will always make his essay look clear, informative and elucidate the points.
Here are some steps to follow when writing an essay :
A. Contest :
There are certain parameters of an essay that needs to be perfectly defined by you. These include the format of the title page and the length. Remember that an essay will not reach up to the mark if it fails to follow rules.
B. Settle for A Topic :
Usually a topic is decided by the writer. In case, it is not, try to opt for something that holds your interest. You need to have a passion for the subject you have chosen for essay writing.
C. Thesis Statement :
This is very important for essay writing. It is a statement that focuses on what you are trying to explain. Make sure that your thesis statement has it all. It should be impressive and packed with a punch!
D. Research on Information :
No matter how much knowledge you have about a specific subject, it is always good to have a clear view on what you are trying to explain. Try to collect a lot of information from various sources and then initiate the project. Do not ignore the points you do not agree with. Try to know more about them prior to reaching a final conclusion.
E. Plan :
This step starts with having a detailed look into whatever information you have gathered. Organize these according to your requirements and eliminate the one that needs to be ruled out according to you.
F. Body :
Focus on writing the body of the essay first. Each point you add need to be espoused with evidences, instances and arguments. Avoid ‘I statements’.
G. Summary :
This is to conclude your essay. You need to provide a compendium to each point and at last a final summary where you would be just putting everything that you have already said, in a nutshell.
H. Three R :
Read, revise and review are vital once your essay has seen the light of accomplishment. Read your piece of work again and again, revise for any point that you missed out on or added by mistake and finally get it reviewed for any spelling or grammatical errors. Also make sure that you make more than one person read your essay and get some remarks on it.
If essay writing is your hobby, you can earn a lot by making it a profession. Even if you have been an English article writer or native English writer, you can think of starting a career as an essay writer.

Ten Writing Categories on SAT Test
As you study for the SAT, one of the main areas you will want to focus on is the Writing portion of the test. Review this article as part of your SAT test prep as it covers the 10 Writing categories you want to know cold by test day.
The multiple-choice Writing section consists of 49 questions.
There are 25 “Correct the Sentence” Questions that require you to edit and repair sentences.
There are 18 “Identifying Sentence Error” Questions that (shockingly enough) require you to identify errors (but not correct them.)
There are 6 “Correct the Paragraph” Questions that require you read and edit a paragraph.
On the majority of tests, at least 42 if not all 43 of the Correct the Sentence and Identifying Sentence Error questions can be labeled as one of the 10 categories we will discuss here. So, if you learn these categories well, you can dominate the multiple-choice writing on the SAT.
2. Verb Errors :
Verb errors are also quite common on the SAT and test you on number (singular versus plural), tense (present versus past versus past-perfect), etc
3. Transition Errors :
Transition errors test your ability to properly link two clauses. You will encounter three main types of transition errors :
A. Run-On Sentences: Run-on sentences are sentences in which two independent clauses are linked together with improper punctuation. Basically, two complete sentences are connected by a comma rather than a period.
Example : Mark is the worst tutor in the United States
While this is factually correct, it is grammatically incorrect because it has two complete sentences connected with a comma. They should be connected by a semi-colon or “and” should be added before “all”.
B. Fragments : Sentence fragments tend to consist of a group of words that do not form a complete sentence. In the majority of cases they are either lacking a verb or are missing the final portion of the sentence.
Example : Mark, the worst tutor in the United States
Again, factually correct, but grammatically incorrect because it is missing a verb. It should be Mark is the worst tutor…
C. Illogical Links : Transition errors of this kind involve two clauses that are not linked logically. The word used to link the two clauses does not make logical sense.
Example : Mark is the worst tutor in the United States
That’s just weird. If Mark is the worst tutor in the US
4. Modifier Errors :
There are two main types of modifier errors :
A. Adjectives vs Adverbs : You are expected to know when to use an adjective and when to use an adverb.
Adjective: Used to modify a noun.
He is a quick runner.
Adverb: Used to modify a verb or adjective.
He runs quickly.
He is incredibly lucky.
B. Dangling Modifiers : A dangling modifier is a phrase or clause that is not clearly or logically related to the word or words it modifies
Example : Walking along the pier, an alligator crept out of the water as we watched.
As written here, the alligator was walking along the pier. But, in truth it was the people who were walking along the pier. So it should instead be something along the lines of: Walking along the pier, we watched as an alligator crept out of the water.
5. Parallelism Errors :
Parallelism errors are pretty common on the SAT. Generally speaking, when listing a bunch of things, they should be in the same form.
Example : In my spare time I enjoy running, eating, and to cry.
Ignoring the fact that I like to cry in my spare time, it’s important to note that the verbs should all be in the same form: running, eating, and crying.
In addition, there are certain phrases that require parallel form such as not only . . . but also . . .
Example : Mark was not only annoying but also disgusting.
The words that follow the not only must be in the same form as the words that follow the but also. In this case they are adjectives.
6. Idiom Errors :
Idiom errors, along with comparison errors, are among the hardest you will encounter on test day. Errors of idiomatic expression test usage of prepositions.
Example : Mark has a tendency of teaching his students incorrect information about the SAT.
The phrase tendency of teaching should instead be tendency to teach.
7. Comparison Errors :
There are two main types of comparison errors :
A. Number : You are expected to know what words to use when comparing two things and what words to use when comparing three or more things.
Two - Three or More
between - among
more - most
less - least
great-er- great-est
between - among
more - most
less - least
great-er- great-est
B. Illogical comparisons : These are tricky because they test you on your literal interpretation of text.
Example : Greek people eat more feta and tomatoes than Turkish people.
What is meant here: Greeks eat a lot of feta and tomatoes, Turks do not.
What is actually being said: Greeks are cannibals and eat Turkish people. Granted they eat more feta and tomatoes than Turkish flesh, but they eat Turkish flesh.
How to fix it: Greek people eat more feta and tomatoes than do Turkish people.
The illogical comparison errors are tricky and we will cover these in more detail in a later post.
8. Diction Errors :
These do not show up very often, but they are tricky when they do because you simply may not notice them if your guard is down. Diction errors occur when they use the wrong word.
For example, they’d say effect instead of affect. Or they might say perspective benefits instead of prospective benefits.
9. Redundancy Errors :
These errors occur when they have added in extra words that are not needed. A very common example you might encounter on test day involves the phrase “the reason is because”:
Example : The reason I was late is because I was in traffic.
Once you say the phrase “the reason” you do not need to say “because”. You can either just say :
The reason I was late is that I was in trafficOrI was late because I was in traffic.
10. “Weird” sounding No Errors :
This final category describes the sentences that are written correctly but sound “weird” to you ear. These weird sounding no-error questions tend to occur on the hardest questions in the section, which makes perfect sense logically.
Questions 9 – 11 and 25 – 29 in the 35-question multiple-choice section and questions 11 – 14 of the 14-question multiple-choice section are the hardest questions.
If one of those questions is going to have No Error then it better sound “weird” or else everyone would be able to tell that there is no error. If everyone can tell it is no error, then what is it doing among the hardest questions in the section?
So, when a question sounds “weird” to you but not necessarily “wrong,” you should consider where you are in the section and ask yourself if the phrasing that sounds off to you is “wrong” or perhaps just non-standard diction that you are not used to hearing
Learn these categories well and as you do your practice SAT exams, try to place each writing multiple-choice question into one of these 10 categories.
As you do more and more practice questions, you will reach a point where you can categorize a question before you have even finished reading the question and your score will shoot up into the 700s.
