INFY was started. This picture was found in the
album of the clerk who took this picture...
The picture was with that clerk only because
it was his birthday and he just told everyone
to stand together at one place to take
a pic.
He borrow a camera from his friend and
as he can not tell any of his boss to

3) Steve Woznaik (sitting)
and Steve Jobs of APPLE Computers.

so at 5 o'clcok nobody comeup with better
name, and he was eating APPLE that time...
so he keep the name of the company 'Apple Computers' |

7) Linus Torvalds of Linux Operating
System Linus Torvalds originally used the
Minix OS on his system which he replaced
by his OS.
Hence the working name was Linux (Linus'
Minix).
He thought the name to be too egotistical
and planned to name it Freax (free + freak
+ x).
His friend Ari Lemmk encouraged Linus to
upload it to a network so it could be easily
downloaded.
Ari gave Linus a directory called linux
on his FTP server, as he did not like the
name Freax.
Linus like that directory name and he kept
the name of his new OS to LINUX... |
