X is a colloquial term for keynotes by Y given at events such as the Worldwide Developers Conference. Y is known for donning the same uniform in nearly every keynote. His outfit usually consists of a black long-sleeved mock St. Croix turtleneck, Levi's 501 blue jeans, and New Balance 991 sneakers. An archetypal Keynote by Y starts with Y presenting sales figures for Z products, and a review of Z products released in the past few months. He then moves on to present one or more new products of moderate importance. After that, he feigns some concluding remarks, turns to leave the stage, then turns back and says "But there is one more thing...". Usually the audience has some idea as to what product will be unveiled due to the Z rumors community, but this is not always the case. Identify X,Y Z(A company)?

Ans: X- Stevenotes Y – Steve Jobs Z – Apple

Think FaZt…. X was established in 1887 as a piano and reed

organ manufacturer by Torakusu X as Nippon Gakki Company, Limited (literally Japan Musical Instrument Multinational Corporation) in Hamamatsu, Shizuoka prefecture, and was incorporated on October 12, 1897. The company's origins as a musical instrument manufacturer is still reflected today in the group's logo—a trio of interlocking tuning forks. Which company???

X was founded in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1901, by John Francis Queeny, veteran of the pharmaceutical industry. He funded the start-up with his own money and capital from a soft drink distributor, and gave the company his wife's maiden name. His father in law was Emmanuel Mendes de X a wealthy sugar factor active in Puerto Rico .The company's first product was the artificial sweetener saccharin, which it sold to the Coca-Cola Company.In its third decade, the 1920s, X expanded into basic industrial chemicals like sulfuric acid. The 1940s saw X become a leading manufacturer of plastics, including polystyrene, and synthetic fibers. Since then, it has remained one of the top 10 US chemical companies. Other major products have included the herbicides 2,4,5-T, DDT, and Agent Orange (the toxic gas used in Vietnam war). Also in this decade, X operated the Dayton Project, and later Mound Laboratories in Miamisburg, Ohio, for the Manhattan Project, the development of the first nuclear weapons and, after 1947, the Atomic Energy Commission. X began manufacturing DDT in 1944, along with some 15 other companies. The use of DDT in the U.S. was banned by Congress in 1972, due in large efforts to environmentalists, who persisted in the challenge put forth by Rachel Carson and her book Silent Spring in 1962, which sought to inform the public of the side effects associated with the insecticide.Through a process of mergers and spin-offs between 1997 and 2002, X made a transition from chemical giant to biotech giant.Identify the company? Clue: Recently in news

Ans: Monsanto

X invented Y on October 28, 2003 while attending Harvard as a sophomore. The site represented a Harvard University version of Hot or Not, according to the Harvard Crimson.That night, X was blogging about a girl who had dumped him and trying to think of something to do to get her off his mind. I'm a little intoxicated, not gonna lie. So what if it's not even 10 p.m. and it's a Tuesday night? What? The Kirkland [dorm] Z is open on my desktop and some of these people have pretty horrendous Z pics. I almost want to put some of these faces next to pictures of farm animals and have people vote on which is more attractive. —9:48 pm  Yea, it's on. I'm not exactly sure how the farm animals are going to fit into this whole thing (you can't really ever be sure with farm animals...), but I like the idea of comparing two people together. —11:09 pm Let the hacking begin. —12:58 am According to The Harvard Crimson, Y "used photos compiled from the online Z of nine Houses, placing two next to each other at a time and asking users to choose the 'hotter' person". To accomplish this, X hacked into the protected areas of Harvard's computer network and copied the houses' private dormitory ID images.Harvard at that time did not have a student directory with photos and basic information and the initial site generated 450 visitors and 22,000 photo-views in its first four hours online. That the initial site mirrored people’s physical community—with their real identities—represented the key aspects of what later became Z.

The brothers were playing volleyball one day, and saw a Y try to jump between trees. He failed miserably and fell 40 feet to the ground. (Don't worry - the Y got up and looked sort of embarrassed as it scurried away.) Because of this, they had Y on their mind the next day when they were coming up with a name. Considering Y to be one of the fastest animals, they decided to give the ) the name X. X has been translated into over 50 languages including Arabic, Chinese, French, German, and Spanish.

Tea time…… X is universally regarded as the father of the Indian

software industry. He carried the title of vice-chairman of Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) for years (Nani Palkhiwala was nominally chairman then). X has been the architect and the driving force of TCS' phenomenal success. It is the first real Indian multinational, and led the way for every other software company to follow. It continues its leadership position and grows year on year in sales and profits without any surprises. Its blue-chip roster of Western clients makes it the envy of every other company, and it has a large domestic base too. However, the goal of TCS going public eluded X till he stepped down as chairman in 2000
