6. Question 1
Steve Jobs said this would be the greatest invention of them all,
Microsoft wanted to buy manufacturing rights to this invention,
before they even knew what the invention actually did or was. Yet at
the end of the day the invention turned out to be nothing more than
a very expensive dud. What invention am I referring to? A teamsport
also originated out of this invention. The world championship for this
sport is called the Woz Challenge Cup.
12. Question 3
In 1983, the subscribers of PC World received a free demo
floppy with the magazine. This was probably the first time in
history that a magazine featured a floppy bind in. Now days
this practice is pretty common with magazines giving away
CDs instead of floppies. What product was introduced to the
subscribers via that floppy?
15. Question 4
X is a Pixar movie. Dreamworks studios copied the concept of X
and created the movie Y. This made Steve Jobs angry and he
confronted John Lasseter (he was in charge of the Dreamworks
Movie). Y was released before X and it did decently. X was a huge
hit but the originality was gone as Dreamworks had copied it and
released Y before X. Jobs always felt resentful for that. Identify
X and Y.
21. Question 6
According to game designer Warren Robinett, this traditional term
was coined into the context of media by Atari personnel who were
alerted to the presence of a X which had been hidden by Robinett in
his already widely distributed game, Adventure. Released in 1979,
Atari's Adventure contains the first video game X, to have been
discovered by its players; Robinett inserted X late in the game's
development in an attempt to gain some recognition for his work, as
Atari then kept its programmers' names secret.
Identify X. You see X everywhere nowadays, from videogames to
movies to even functional software.
34. Question 10
The visual appearance of X was based on the G.I. Joe action
figures. For X’s “bad” look, its hair was spiked and brown
coloured lenses were used for its eyes, whereas for its "good"
look, green coloured lenses were used. The wig used for X's
"bad" look had a silver streak in the middle, made out of Yak
hair, while its leather jacket was designed by Vogt. Suits made
of copper were used for X's costumes.

crimes, the Stockholm District Court ordered that the
Pirate Bay’s two main domains, thepiratebay.se and

X factor is a scale to measure the ease of use of a device.
Devices that are especially obtrusive, such as large, older model cell
phones, "Pocket" PC devices and walkie talkies are said to have a high
X factor. Sleeker devices such as a later-model Palm or StarTac phone
are prized for their low X factor and lessened obtrusiveness and
weight.
