Ever wanted to know how the different companies were named? Here is an interesting primer.

Mercedes:

This was actually financier’s daughter’s name.

Adobe:

This came from the name of the river Adobe Creek that ran behind the house of founder John Warnock.

Apple Computers:

It was the favourite fruit of founder Steve Jobbs.He was three months late for 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.

The Sharpest View of the Sun.

Sparky May 18, 2009 1 Comment adaptive optics canary island of la palma Closest Photograph google island of la palma optical wavelengths region ar solar astronomy solar observatories solar phenomena Solar Syste Sun Sun Image swedish solar telescope

This stunning image shows remarkable and mysterious details near the dark central region of a planet-sized sunspot in one of the sharpest views ever of the surface of the Sun. Just released, the picture was made using the Swedish Solar Telescope now in its first year of operation on the Canary Island of La Palma . Along with features described as hairs and canals are dark cores visible within the bright filaments that extend into the sunspot, representing previously unknown and unexplored solar phenomena. The filaments’ newly revealed dark cores are seen to be thousands of kilometers long but only about 100 kilometers wide. Resolving features 100 kilometers wide or less is a milestone in solar astronomy and has been achieved here using sophisticated adaptive optics, digital image stacking, and processing techniques to counter the blurring effect of Earth’s atmosphere.

THE PERFUME.

Sparky May 18, 2009 No Comments big f classmates God good manners google grade teacher mrs thompson ready laugh red pen school Teacher teddy stoddard tell god

Don’t tell God how big your problems are;

tell Your problems how big your God is!

THE PERFUME:

As she stood in front of her 5th grade class on the very first day of school she told the children an untruth !!
Like most teachers, she looked at her students and said that she loved them all the same. However, that was impossible, because there in the front row, slumped in his seat, was a little boy named Teddy Stoddard.

Mrs. Thompson had watched Teddy the year before and noticed that he did not play well with the other children, that his clothes were messy and that he constantly needed bath. In addition, Teddy could be unpleasant.

It got to the point where Mrs. Thompson would actually take delight in marking his papers with a broad red pen, making bold X’s and then putting a big “F” at the top of his papers.

Mothers Day Logos Over the Years from Google.

Sparky May 12, 2009 No Comments 1776 Australia closer look distinction google home page logo images logo logos mothers day tribute to mothers

But for their first year, Google has been changing its home page logo every Mother’s Day in a tribute to mothers everywhere. And although the images for the years 2000 and 2001 don’t look very different, take a closer look (images below) and you’ll find a small but interesting distinction.

We took this year’s image from Google Australia, but you should see it on all of Google’s sites.
