How Companies Got Thier Names
Apple Computers
It was the favourite 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 didn't suggest a better name by 5 O'clock.
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.
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.
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 Stanford University buddies, SUN is the acronym for Stanford University Network. Andreas Bechtolsheim built a microcomputer; Vinod Khosla recruited him and Scott McNealy to manufacture computers based on it, and Bill Joy to develop a UNIX-based OS for the computer.
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

Shairi
Haseenone haseen bankar gunah kiya, doosroko to thik hume bhi tabah kiya,pesh kiya jab gazlon mein unki bewafaiyo ko, auro ne to thik unhone bhi wah wah kiya......
Har raat chandni raat nahi hoti, Har dost me aap jaisi baat nahi hoti, Na jaane khuda kaun si saza de raha hai, Jo aaj kal aapse baat nahi hoti. ...
Ek ada aapki dil churane ki...ek ada aapki dil me bus jane ki...Chehra apka chand sa aur ek zid hamari is chand ko pane ki...
School Mein Ishq Ka Naya Mahool Tyar Ho Gaya, Class Ki Teacher Ko Papu Se Pyar Ho Gaya.Iss Baat Se Sari Class Ka Dil Udas Ho Gaya, Sari Class Fail, Aur..... Papu Pass Ho Gaya....
Dil ki baat dil mein mat rakhna, Jo pasand ho usse ILU kehna. Agar wo ghusse mein aa jaaey to darna mat ,Raakhi nikalna aur kehna pyari behna milti rehna...
Aapke dil me basjayenge SMS ki tarah.,., Dil me bajenge RING TONE ki tarah.,., Dosti kum nahi hongi BALANCE ki tarah.,., Sirf aap busy na rehana NETWORK ki tarah.....
Khuda kare tujhe har jagah se satkar mile,Mujh se bhi acche yaar milen. Rakhi ko teri girlfriend tujhe rakhi bandhe,Aur tujhe zindagi bhar us se behan ka pyar mile...
Industrian sari mere yaar khaa gaye,Meri Sari jaydaaad rishtedar khaa gaye,Marne Ke baad bhi unho ne ki meri saath cheating,Banaye mazar to minaar kha gaye.......
UNKI GALI SE MERA JANAZA NIKLA WO NA NIKLE JINKE LIYE JANAZA NIKLA,UNKA GHAR AAYA TO MERE DOST SITI BAJANE LAGE,RAKHKE MERA JANAZA KAMINE USKO PATANE LAGE....
Tere gam me tadap kar mar jayenge,Mar gaye to tera naam lejayenge... Rishwat de ke tujhe bhi bulaenge,Tum upar aaoge to saath baith ke Kurkure khaenge....
Arz kiya hai!!!...Itne kamjor hue teri judai se...Gaur farmaiye...Itne kamjor hue teri judai se... Ki chinti bhi ab kheech le jaati hai charpai se....
Palkon pe apni bitaya hai tumhe,Badi duao ke baad paaya hai tumhe,Aasani se nahi mile ho tum National zuological Park se churaya hai tumhe....!!!
kabhi kehte the dost hamare ke jaan bhi maango to hazir hai , Aaj apni bivi ko jaan kehte hai,Aur maango to inkaar karte hain...
Naari ke chakkar mein bhool na jaana yaari,Jab laat maaregi naari to yaad aayegi hamari... Purush bachao samiti ki taraf se Janhit mein jaari....
Aaj kuch gahbraye se lagte ho,Thand mein kampkapaye se lagte ho... Nikhar kar aayi hai surat aapki,Lagata hain Bahut dino baad nahaye se lagte ho...
College ki galion mein ajjeb khel hota hai, Class ke bahane dilo ka khel hota hai, Nitis ki jagah luvmail hota hai, Isliye to Pappu har saal fail hota hai...
Mein Tumhare Liye Sab Kuch Karta..Magar Mujhe Kaam Tha...... Mein Tumhare Liye Doob Ke Marta...Magar Mujhe Zukham Tha !
Gunghat Mein Tujhe Dekha To Deewanna Hua, Sangeet Ka Taraana Hua, Shamaa Ka Parwana Hua, Masti Ka mastaana Hua, Jaise Hi Gunghat Uthaya Is Duniya Se Ravana Hua...
Suraj se achha Tara koi nahi, Jaisa hai Rishta humaraa dusraa koi nahi! Chahe saari duniyaa me dhund lo; Mere jaisa Pyaraa, aur Tere jaisa Aawaraa aur koi nahi!!
Bhagwan ke naam pe 1 patni dede... Apni nahi toh dusre ki dede... Bhagwan tujhe 1 kay badle3 dega Anurag ki tarah Prerna kay saath Aparna aur komolika free dega...
Baithe tere khayalon mein,Kore kagaz pe likh dala tera naam...Tasvir bhi utaar dali,Aur likha yeh paigam...Zinda ya Murda pakdnewale ko 5000/- inaam...
