History behind name of
intel ,
yahoo ,
microsoft , google , apple
and
adobe
True but really
interesting things.
Intel Bob Noyce and
Gordon Moore are
the
founders of Intel. Initially
they
wanted to name it
as “Moore Noyce” Later
they
found that there was
another company
with
that name
which ran a group of
hotels.
Therefore, they decided
to look
for another name.
Then they were toying
with the
name
‘More Noise’. They
thought, for a
semiconductor
company this name could
be a wrong
name. Then for the first
year they
used ‘NM Electronics’
as their company name.
Finally,
Intel
got its name as a short
form of Integreated
Electorinics.
Microsoft
Bill Gates named
Microsoft from
two
words. Microcomputer
and
Software. In year 1975,
Bill Gates wrote a
letter
to his colleague Paul
Allen, he
wrote
as Micro-Soft.
But in 1976 they
registered the name
Microsoft as a single
name.
Yahoo
The first name of Yahoo
was
“Jerry
and David’s Guide to the
World Wide
Web”.
In 1994 it changed its
name to
Yahoo. The name was
taken from
a
phrase from Jonathan
Swift’s novel, Gulliver’s
Travels. YAHOO is the
short form
of
the phrase
“Yet Another Hierarchical
Officious
Oracle”. This word refers
to a barbaric
and uncivilized youth.
The founders Jerry Yang
and
David
Filo wanted to choose
this name
as they wanted
themselves
to be wittingly
categorized thus.
Adobe
Adobe is the name of a
river. One
of
the founders of Adobe,
John Nack, lives in
Los Altas in California.
This river
runs
behind his house.
Google
Larry Page and Sergey
Brin are the founders of
Google.When they
were
studying in
Stanford University, they
worked
on a
project report to create
an online Search engine.
Their aim was simple.
When
someone
searched for a keyword,
the result
should fetch huge
number of relevant sites.
In fact they
wished for Googol
number of
results.
Yes Googol represents a
number
which is 1 followed by
100
zeroes. Therefore they
wanted
to name it as googol. But
when
they
submitted their project
report for
funding to an investor,
the investor gave a
cheque which was
payable to ‘Google’
instead of
Googol.
So that was a spelling
mistake. But
Larry and Sergey decided
to keep
it as google and
thats how the name
came about.
Apple
The founder of Apple Inc,
Steve
Jobs
used to work in an Apple
Farm. When
he decided to
start his business, he
joked with
his
friends that if they did
not
suggest a name for his
company he will then
name it as
Apple Computers.
Obviously his
friends could not come
out with
a name and hence Steve
named it
as Apple Computers.
