Rare Photos of Great People
They are the one who transforms the World of Tech!
This is the picture of Microsoft family in 1978. Picture was taken when Microsoft was started. Can you see the young Bill Gates then?
Tim Berners Lee — The founder of the World Wide Web (WWW) in his early days.
Steve Woznaik (sitting) and Steve Jobs of Apple Computers.
He was three months late in filing a name for the business because he didn’t get any better name for his new company. So one day he told to the staff: “If I’ll not get better name by 5 o’clock today, our company’s name will be anything he likes…” so at 5 o’clcok nobody come up with better name, and he was eating Apple that time… so he keep the name of the company ‘Apple Computers’.
Bill Hewlett (left) and Dave Packard of Hewlett-Packard. 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, and the winner was NOT Bill…the winner was Dave.
Ken Thompson (left) and Dennis Ritchie, creators of UNIX.
Dennis Ritchie improved on the B programming language and called it ‘New B’. B was created by Ken Thompson as a revision of the Bon programming language (named after his wife Bonnie). He later called it C.
Gordon Moore (left) and Bob Noyce, 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 = INTEL
Larry Page (left) and Sergey Brin, 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’! So they kept name as GOOGLE, and it stays till today.
Andreas Bechtolsheim, Bill Joy, Scott Mc Nealy and Vinod Khosla of SUN (Stanford University Network) MicroSystems.
Founded by four StanfordUniversity buddies. Andreas Bechtolsheim built a microcomputer; Vinod Khosla recruited him; Scott McNealy to manufacture computers based on it; and Bill Joy to develop a UNIX-based OS for the computer…SUN is the acronym for Stanford University Network.
