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.

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.

9) Gordon Moore(L) and Bob Noyce® ,founders of Intel

Bob Noyce and Gordon Moore wanted to name their new

by a hotel chain, so they had to settle for an acronym

of INTegrated ELectronics.

buddies, SUN is the acronym for Stanford University

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)

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.
