TATA ELXSI PAPER ON 17th FEBRUARY AT BANGALORE

hi avinash here...got placed in tata elxsi ..the selection procedure was for 2 days..17th and 18th feb. 2007
i guess around 800 people appeared for the test....on the first day they shorlisted around 170 people based on the written test whose format ill give below..

the next day was the interview (technical and hr).

NOTE:1. make sure if there are negative marks or not..its by merittrac...so never been neg marks till date...many of my friends lost out on this as they dint mark answers which they were partly sure of..

2. papers are given for the allocated time only ..times up and u gotta start the next...so u ve to be quick in some sections.

ok first written test format: the total duration is 100 mins and 100 questions in all.

1. verbal ability: 20q-20mins
this is pretty simple...completing sentences...usage of articles...if u r naturally ok in english it wont be a problem at all..the passages were pretty stupid but not very simple...so try to get as many q as possible..cant do much about others but guess..no harm as no negative marks...

2.analytical ability: 25q-30 mins(not v sure..forgot)
this is a section where go for all the easy q first...many of them r tricky...so dont try to go for all..unless u r a brain or something...u can go thru some basic book like rs aggarwal....questions will be on venn diags...cubes..trains...boats n streams...etc...nothin unexpected...try to get as many as poss....the rest u can guess....

3.Attention to detail: 25q-20 mins
this might be irritating but just chill....and do this section lightly...all based on common sense...no preparation needed...questions will be on the symbol interchanging(eg: they give an expression and say * stands for +,-stands for / ,and so on....and u gotta calculate the new value) ...but dont take it casually as well...again try to do as much as possible.

4.Engineering subject (electronics/computers) : 30q-30 mins
this is where most of them lose out . im from ece so had electronics paper . here just give it ur best shot n wait for final results .if ur knowledge is good and ur guesses r right...no probs...anyways the various topics they touch upon are: network analysis...cmos logic...semiconductors...microprocessor(this is imp)...vhdl..etc...basically just brush through all imp subjs u ve studied till date and go confident...u will most probably not get all.... i scored 13 out of 30 in this section so that was good enough i guess though i think i was pretty ok in all the other sections.

now interviews:
Techical:
all about ur specialisation . tata elxsi is known to filter out many students based on this....so go well prepared to face them confidently even though u might be just average in ur subjects....but be pretty strong with the basics they are not expectin u to remmember all the muggin formulas...equations..etc...u can always say u dont recollect them now...but if u explain the logic well...ur through....he asked me logic design...vhdl...vlsi..microprocessors....microcontrollers...

some of my friends were asked screwing c and c++ questions inspite of being from ec background so beware of that...though probabilty is less...

HR:
this is pretty cool....be natural...dont try to impress them too much...be friendly...at the same time be careful of tricky questions regarding ur future plans...ur ambition.....just chill...take it easy..they will just see how enthusaiatic u are about wat u wanna do...so no probs...!!

OK people ALL THE VERY BEST....give it ur best shot and leave the rest to god and luck!! be cool......

TATA ELXSI PAPER ON 25th FEBRUARY AT HYDERABAD

Hi friends I am chaitanya got placed in TATA ELXSI held at Holy Mary Institute of Engg & Tech at Hyderabad.

The selection process consisted of Written test, Tech interview followed by HR interview.

Written Test :
1. English
2. Analytical
3. Mathematical ability
4. Technical (Totally Electronics)

If u r good at english then english is no problem 4 u. Just they concentrated on articles, prepositions, synonyms (context based) and 2 passages.

Analytical part consisted of Data sufficiency, Venn diagrams (very imp) , cubes (very imp), blood relations, small puzzle type questions. Unless u hav sufficient prep u cannot write this section. Prep venn diag & cubes, u will definitely get thru.

The 3rd section is totally IQ based questions like comparisons, arithmetic calculations and finally 2 case studies based on which the questions are framed. For case studies dont think on ur own and give ur own answers, what ever is there in the description go thru it and if even a single condition is not satisfied u must mark none of the above (as required).

The Technical test is totally Electronics based. No C, C++ (bla bla bla). No IT. This is an Electronics based company, so be prepared with all the electronics subjects. They concentrated mostly on LDIC, Micro-Processors, Digital & Analog, Networks (1 question to find current) etc.

There is the end for written test. Out of 1000 plus people only 139 got short listed and the interviews were conducted the next day.

Interview :
I believe interview is only to know abt oneself. If u hav good communication skills and good grip on the subject u will definetely get thru.

Here they concentrated mainly on Micro-processors (Pin diagram, Block diagram, flag registers, Memory interfacing), Op-Amps (defn, clippers, Inverting & Non Inverting derivations, applications), C & C++ (very rare), Compiler, Interpreter and some puzzles like find the angle b/w the min hand and hr hand if it is 5'o clock etc.

HR was simple and they tested on questions like :

What r ur career objectives ?
What improvement needs?
Do u hav any company at hand?
etc....

If u clear the HR round u will be given the form. U need to fill in a lot of information (it takes nearly 40 min to fill the form).

Thats it. There is the end of selection process. Only around 42 people out of 139 short listed got selected.

All the best friends, hav good preparation and crack it. Lets meet at TATA ELXSI.

BYE,
Chaitanya

it was simplest q. like @=0 and $=1 and then covert 25 into binary and represent it with this symbols
then 1233465 1233465 1233466 find out odd one .
So it was very easy...........

4,technical section 30 q. and 30 min.
In this there were separate papers for CS AND EC. i am from CS so in this there were q. from c ,c++ ,networking ,few from operating system,and many from data structures.. so be well prepare for data structures and networking .....

they declared result at 4:30 and the technical interview of about 30 students was on that day itself. while for other 35 it was on next day morning.....

IN TECHNICAL
only one member was there on starting he told me to give resume
then told me to list out subjects i studied ..
then he asked many q. from networking means what are uses of networking?
what is subnet ? about class of ip address...
then asked from c and c++ means diff. between structure and union ?
from array and linked list ....some from pointers ...
and at last he asked from opetrating sys. but i told him about my project so he didnt asked much from os.
and finally one mem told me that you are selected for HR round and you have to be present on tom. morning 9 .

HR interview
Mostly they dont discard people from this round because the technical was very tuff so be confident and tell any thing means wheather it is true or false .IN my intreview there was one mem who asked me in a very good way that i was very relax

HI FRIENDS,
Tata ELXSI visited our college on jully. First of all I want 2 Thank people who sends their experiences and made comfort with the selection procedure. I have been selected in this company. And this my third company. When got rejected in my 1st company , I'm some what dipressed. But when I think how I prepared ?
What I want to be? Then I forget the pain. I realised my destination, and started keeping faith in my-self. The only thing I did for placement is , being confident and having a smile on my face( not only during the interview) but also every time and I maintained that consistency. So, friends when you are facing any interview and you really mean its worthy, "THEN KEEP FAITH IN YOUR SELF and NEVER TAKE A SECOND CHANCE".
ALL THE BEST and one thing I forget to say our job really ends when we feel comfort with our panel, and they really make our job easy. I Sincerely thank my panel sir for making my job easy and comfort.
And the last thing i'ld like to say is "never say that , we don't have those topics, or we came from so and so branch so we don't know much about this". Why i'm saying this means ,some of friends done the same mistake.Be expressive.

Patni -18 June 2007

Paper Type : Whole Testpaper
Test Date : 18 June 2007
Test Location : R.M.K.Engineering College
Posted By : Suganya

Hi all,
I would like to share my experience with all of u here. Having cleared three challenging rounds of tests now I am a Patniite.

As usual first we had the written test for 70 min whose pattern is as follows:
Three sections:
1.verbal 15 questions
2.Analytical 15 questions
3.Quantitative 30 questions
The verbal was like filling up the blanks... it covered articles, prepositions,and some common mistakes that we usually commit while using English (eg: like we say today evening instead of this evening).This section was quite easy dont take more than 10 min.
Analytical was also easier..here the logical thinking will help u more..this was my favourite part..very easy questions and I took last 10 min to solve this section..questions like relation puzzle,cubes puzzle,round table arrangement puzzle were present.
Here comes the most important section..they themself asked us to concentrate more on this part...I found it a bit tough..but remembering formulas and some technical methods of solving will make it easier..questions were from R.S.Agarwal covering percentage,proportion(especially milk water problem),profit or loss,SI...nearly 10 out of 30 were profit loss problem...

Nearly 120 to 130 attended this test n 80 were selected for next round

Second was the GD..
we were grouped as 10 members per team..we introduced ourselves n they asked us to give pnts why GD..when I gave my point I was appreciated n this gave me a good start.. then they asked us why Patni n why we choose computer field... then they gave us the topic.. r topic was 'Is China a threat to Indian software company'..they look only that we open up in delivering our points..Initialising alone wont help..infact the person who initiated in r team was rejected.. the main reason is he gave only one point n remained quite for the rest of the discussion... so key poi nt to be remembered for success in this section is be clear with ur points grab the chance to speak up, encourage ur team members who r quite to speak up(this shows ur leadership quality which pleases them )

Nearly 45 were selected to next round

Finally we had the Personal interview..
this is the coolest part...r Hr was cool enough.. a feel like speaking with a friend..
first ques to give the study history and family background..
one interesting thing happened..... instead of saying "I have a younger sister", I said it as "I have a younger daughter".. then we both of us laughed.. then I had few questions from technical part..I answered them well...
finally he asked "Do u have ne ques??". this was a nice chance for me..I asked him three questions..when I entered he mentioned tat compared to all I did the quantitative part more better so I asked him the marks which I scored in aps.. then I asked what they expected from a fresher.. he gave a big lecture n one thing he stressed is tat they expect the communication.. finally I asked him about my performance .. he gave some tips to improve my skills... thats it...
Nearly 25 were selected finally

when I heard my name being read out in the finalist I was fully pleasure filled....Thank God.....Thanks to my parents.....
Wish U all to experience the same joy...Hope to meet U all soon at Patni......

It is little bit hard but u can crack ...Venn diagrams(2Q's (VIMP),Blood relations ,clocks,seating arragements.

30---- Quantitative (VIMP)
prepare , Profit and loss , Ratio and proportin , and time and work , SI & CI.
here 70 % ( nearly 20 Q ) are only from Profit and loss , Ratio and propotion & SI & CI ...... don't leave these three ....
some questions are
1. cost price of 12 apples = selling price of 10apples then profit%? (same q repeated for 3 times with different numbers ).
2. selling price given and market price given asked to find cost price .
3. cost price is given and bonus,SP is given asked to find MP.
4. a:b, b:c, c:d are given and asked to find a:b:c:d
5. a:b, b:c, c:d are given and total amount they have is given asked to find d's share .
6. SI is given and for the same number of years CI also given .....etc and asked to find initial amount.( Related 3 Q's)

Time management is very important factor . Never start with english or analytical. Start with quant then analytical finally in 10 min u can solve Eng.
overall the paper was easy .
even u know how to do but struct somewhere, blindly left and go for the other

Next GD one pannel min 10 ( in my pannel 11) he selected 4 from 11
current topics only he gave . Here 3 pannels got "Ragging should be banned in the campus" , "Is Foreign coach necessary for Indian team .
I got the first one. u have to talk something, they wil give everyone a chance.

Next HR+tech
i failed in 2 HR's till now but i never experienced such a nice interview. He is so cool and helpful . He is so friendly and even helped
me when i structed .
purely ur subject, he didnt ask anyone from C, C++ ...
everything he asked from my core electronics like
what is Mux, Demux. How can we multiplex different signals.
then he asked What is microprocessor, What is the difference between Microcontroller and microprocessor.
about optical fiber operation ,
About my strengts and weakness he asked
finally he asked me any questions. I asked him a question on recent collabaration of patni with a Telecommunication company
which they didnt mention in the PPT . On that he nearly talked for 4-5 min .That question helped me a lot to get.

All the best to all, lets meet in mubai .

Hi guys this is venkatesh



I have attended the test of patni on November 10 2007 which was conducted in st joseph engg college(OFF CAMPUS) . I do know the exact head count but it might be 450+ .The recruitment process is so simple and transparent

The selection procedure consists of 3 stages:
First corporate presentation
Followed by

1. Aptitude

2. GD

3. Tech+HR

1)15 questions Verbal
2)15 questions Analytical Reasoning.
3) 30 questions Quantitative Aptitude.



Time 1hr 10min

Total questions =60

THERE IS NEGATIVE MARKING & SECTIONAL CUT-OFF



PACKAGE:

B.E / B.TECH ----3LACS (2007 batch) as per slide presentation





Verbal:



It is damn easy guys if u are fluent in English then no preparation needed .Else see this article prepositions etc .Then Reading comprehension this is the very time consuming part.you read the whole paragraph when u try to ans the q’s I am sure ans is not in the passage but it is a general one.so don’t waste time there



Analaytical reasoning:



Please work out

puzzles

blood relations

seating arrangement etc

please read RS agarwal verbal and non verbal reasoning



Quantitative Aptitude.



The majority is from



Profit and loss

Percentages

Alligation mixtures

Ratio and proportion



If you learn this surely u can crack the test

Hopefully there is some sectional cut off I think so attempt in all areas

Do not concentrate on one part alone

Have eye on ur watch time will run like anything



Rounds



They conducted first round around 11 o clock and gave one hour ten minutes

After that they asked to finish lunch and come

Man never miss St joseph food especially Non veg had a great lunch

Forgetting the campus tension and around 2 30 the results were announced



From first round they shortlisted 210



Group1

7 batches 10 per batch

Similarly two more groups were there



Gd topics



Orkut should be banned or not

China a threat to India

India in 2020



My topic was India on 2020

In my topic all were shouting but our HR mam was so nice she gave opportunity for all

My first point itself was wrong I was deviating away from the topic

Tht mam said frankly and ask to talk abt the topic so I never left my confidence and spoke and finally they asked to summarize the topic each of us and finally asked everyone to write abt patni luckily a day before I have prepared the company profile

Else no problem listen to the slide what they shw its more than enough

Finaaly from our team 5 got shortlisted and I am one of them

But there was also a case in which 9 people got selected out of 10 .so don’t think they will filter do ur job rest will happen automatically



We waited for one and half hour they gave one application form and asked to fill details

I was very happy as though I got the job but any way waiting for the HR round finally HR called .also my HR is so nice he is very quite and asked





Tell abt urself

Ur project

Then asked to say a fav subject

I choosed oops

He then asked

Virtual function

Polymorphism

Inheritance

Constructor destructor

Software engg also he asked (waterfall life cycle model)

Then DBMS wat is normalization did not answered

Then finally asked what is current trend going in IT industry (I do know but I blabbered he found that I do know so he stopped)

And said the results will be published at the end of the day so wait he said



After 2 hours at 8 30 the results were published and I am one among them

I am patni ite . I got many new friends there we shared many fruitful issues even if didn’t get selected don’t get vexed u will get good friends new prespective of ideas .



Guys also be prepared for technical also I thought they will conduct only one round but patni is fast they conducted every round within a single day and announced the result within same day. So prepare for all rounds



Guys this is my 58 th interview and finaaly I have won the battle. I have consequently failed for 57 times but never let my hope.so always prepare urself for the next interview never let ur confidence my best wishes to meet u in patni



Keep this in mind

Failure should not go to your heart

PCS (PATNI) PAPER ON 28th DECEMBER 2007

Paper Type : Whole Testpaper
Test Date : 28 December 2007

Posted By : Maruthi Rao

PCS (PATNI) PAPER ON 28th DECEMBER 2007

Hi all this is Maruthi Rao an Engineering Graduate in Electrical & Electronics Engineering (EEE) I attaned PCS (Patni computer Systems Ltd) on 28th Dec. On 24th Dec I got a mail from 1 of the PCS HR that they want people for Software Testing, stating that she saw my resume in Naukri.com she asked my response on that.As soon as I saw the mail I mailed my resume with my willingness.



On 26th Dec(I saw it on 27th afternoon)

I got the mail from the same HR, that on 28th Dec I need to attend for Aptitude test->Group discussion.

Time of Reporting: 10.00am



My Venue was Patni Knowledge Pank, Airoli, Navi Mumbai.

They asked me to come with the Resume, photo and Printout of the mail.



Next day I reached on time took ID card from Security

By 10.00 all occupied there respective places.

10.15 Our Xam Started.



Now coming to the Pattern of the exam: It was a 1hr 10min (70 min) test with 60 questions.(Objective type)



The paper was divided in 3 parts.

a) English (15 ques)
b) Analytical ability (15ques)
c) Quantitative ability (30ques)

There was a sectional Cut off with negative (they told while distributing papers)



English, it was the simplest n silliest Que paper tat I have ever seen.....simple questions like fill in the blanks (a, an, the).few other were ……sentence was given n 1 word in the sentence marked we need to find out the synonyms/antonyms.

These all were of about 8 marks, after that i had a passage for remaining marks.

The passage was on open source related (to software) n was quite easy 1 to do.



For Analytical n quantitative part I suggest u to go through R.S Aggarwal Quantitative, Verbal and Non verbal books.

The topics on which they focused were….

Ratio n proportion,

Percentages,

Profit & Loss,

Direction problem,

SI, CI, Chain Rule,

Blood Relation,

Data Sufficiency,



U need to b fast & correct if u want to clear the cutoff



At 11.25am they took the papers n asked us to wait for the result.

After ½ hr they announced the result. 22 were short listed for next session i.e. GD

They had arranged snacks for us, they asked us (4 all) to have it n asked the selected students to come back for GD.



Coming to GD,

We 22 members were divided into group of 2…11 members in each group.

My name was in 1st group.

They provided a paper for rough work (to note down the pts...etc…)



My GD topic was Advertisements r more about glitters not reality.

They provided 2 min for rough work (to think on that topic…)

After that GD started we had a nice discussion (Me contributed some healthy points)...After that HR (two ladies) asked each 1 of us to give conclusion.



If unfortunately u r not able to speak in GD, I advise make use of these kind of golden opportunities and try to put a healthy conclusion (don’t wait for it u may not get a chance for conclusion so try to speak in GD itself…many time the persons who conclude in good manner gets selected)



After GD was over, HR asked us to write our conclusion in that paper, with some pts about PCS & left the room after 5 min they came with the names...

Out of 11 members she announced 7 names including mine….

After that she gave us a form n asked us to bring it on day of Interview (said it will b on 3rd Jan)



On 2nd Jan evening I got a call for Interview,

Venue, reporting time was the same, I reached by 9.15am

Interview started at 9.40am….there were about 5-6 panels…..

At around 10.20 I was called for interview……



Interview:

My Interview was taken by a Lady HR, she was very cool…..

As I knocked the door n asked for permission...

HR: with a smile get in Maruthi..right Take Ur place.

Me:s….thanked with a smile.

HR: How r u? U can call me abcabc….. (Had an introdution).

Me: I m fine.abcabc & Thanked (with a smile)

HR: how did u come here ?

ME: by Patni Bus (they have arranged for us)

HR: can we start with small introduction of u, Ur ’s family, Ur education background, and one project that u have motioned in ur resume.

ME: sure (with a smile) Started in a full flow…after some time when i was explaining my project I was not able to make out the correct sense of my project (as it can’t be explained without any Sketch work) so, I asked her a paper for it…she gave me a paper n I again stated in a full flow….after some time she was satisfied with my explanation

HR: why did u go for this project?

ME: blablabla……



Then some questions related to my project (I was prepared for it becoz in of campus they mainly concentrate on Project)



Then she started asking me questions from my resume(covered almost every pt that I motioned about me in my resume)…… She asked me about my long term goals n my efforts for it asked to explain with an example



Then she asked me about subject….



After some time I found her satisfied with my answers……as she started telling me about the company the work I need to do (as I already said they called us for testing field) was telling me how a person should b in testing field… (This was the time I found myself in safe place n was sure to find my name in the final list).



HR: ok u wait out side the Other HR person will let u know the result.

ME:ok madam.

HR: Thanq Maruthi. (With a big smile)

ME: Thanq madam (With a big smile)

Walked out happily.

After few min 1 HR person came to me. Saying u r Maruthi Right…..

ME:Ya

HE said Congrats u r now in patni computers…me thanked him with a smile...



Then he told me they will send offer letter in a week……..



So I advice….always be with projects/Paper Presentations that u have….be ready for any type of question from ur resume….so plz take care while preparing ur resume.



Hoping it will help u to get an idea of Selection procedure …



Wishing u ALL THE BEST

}
}
class HPTest4
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
A a=new A(1);
A b=new A(2,3);
A c=new A();
}
}


Second Round: Interview

In the 2nd round, Hp employees( 2 or 3) will be interviewing us.The Q asked will vary form person to person.

They asked abt my latest projects first.They concentrated less on my academic proj.So plz prepare well abt the latest proj u did.

And then they asked fully in C,C++ like what is the diff b/w const char * and char const *.What is friend fns,virtual destructors,virtual constructors, How will the compiler intrepret when a virtual class is declared and other basic stuff like calloc, malloc.

In java what is the default exception, Is there any priority for the exceptions, finally, heap concepts etc.

They havent asked any Q in N/wing and OS.

This is the stuff which i faced in my interview.Iam agian telling u...This varies from person to person.

But any way all the best for all u guys who got selected for the next round.Its very easy.Dont be in a hurry.Take ur own time.Another advice,If u don't know the answer for any Q they asked,be frank.Dont try to bluff it becoz the next Q will depend upon the Q u answer previously.

The interview pattern will be as:
1. Tell abt your self.
2. They will ask for the subjects in which we are strong
( Here they will consider the ranking that we written during written
examination & marks we got in written exam)
3. Mostly the interview time will be 45 minutes around (for only people there is about 1.5 hr)
4. HR questions may include here
5. Good thing is They r friendly and cooperative so confidence place
role.

If u don't know the answer better not to answer than to tell some bad
stuff. For me 2 people interviewd. As I told them that I am strong in C
they told me to write some programs like double linked list, singly
linked list(adding node at last), macros, const *,char *,pointer arrays.

The main question that they asked was how can u compile or execute 'c' program without editor. (Using TCC utility)

coming 2 cpp only 1 question i.e what is polymorphism.

Java they asked me about protocol used in JSP, which layer does it
belongs to, main differences between _Javascript ,java and JSP.

During personal introduction try to excell your capabilities by
giving examples like as fast learner, hard worker like..!

If u have any achievements & awards try 2 put them all during
personal INtroduction.

The interviewers are very co-operative and highly friendly (so
confidence plays vital role)

WISHING U ALL THE BEST FOR YOUR SUCCESS

Make a note that Technical round is the main one.I think there wont
be any elimination at HR level unless luck unfavours us.

Added Experience is Definite Added Advantage.

In general section they r asking questions like Who is CEO ,founder of HP,Microsoft,Oracle..
some questions u will get from following list

IT Gurus

1) Tim Berners Lee -- Founder of the World Wide Web

2) Bjarne Stroustrup, C++ Stroustrup called his new language 'C with Classes and then 'new C'.Because of which the original C began to be called 'old C' which was considered insulting to the C community. At this time Rick Mascitti suggested the name C++ as a successor to C.

3) Michael Dell of Dell Computers

4) Larry Ellison of 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.

5) James Gosling,and his project is now known as Java Originally called Oak by creator James Gosling, from the tree that stood outside his window, the programming team had to look for a substitute as there was no other language with the same name. Java was selected from a list of suggestions. It came from the name of the coffee that the programmers drank.

6) Bill Hewlett(L) and Dave Packard(R) of HP. Behind them in the picture is
the famous HP Garage. Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard tossed a coin to decide
whether the company they founded would be called Hewlett-Packard or
Packard-Hewlett.

7) Ken Thompson (L)and Dennis Ritchie(R) ,creators of UNIX, B and C Dennis Ritchie improved on the B programming language and called it 'New B'. He later called it C. B was created by Ken Thompson as a revision of the Bon programming language (named after his wife Bonnie)

8) Larry Page(L) and Sergey Brin(R), founders of Google. Google was
originally named 'Googol'. After founders (Stanford graduates) Sergey Brin and Larry Page presented their project to an angel investor, they received a cheque made out to 'Google' !

9) Gordon Moore(L) and Bob Noyce(R) ,founders of 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.

10) Andreas Bechtolsheim , Bill Joy, Scott Mc Nealy and Vinod Khosla of
SUN(StanfordUniversity Network) MicroSystems Founded by four
StanfordUniversity 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.

11) 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' parents named him after two-time Nobel Prize winner Linus Pauling)

12) Steve Woznaik(sitting) and Steve Jobs of APPLE Computers 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 didn't suggest a better name by 5 o'clock.
