4. What is so much special about the
Sony’s latest phone Xperia Sola??
5. What was developed so as to
tackle the following problem ??
Early CRT monitors had problems with the
same image being displayed for a long
time. The phosphors used to make the
pixels in the display would discolor the
glass surface of the CRT when they
would glow at a constant rate for a long
period of time. This discoloration would
then be visible as a faint image
overlaying whatever else was displayed
on the monitor.

12. Id X and Y
X called Y as the only preposition
available on the keyboard.
X in 1967 he joined the technology
company BBN Technologies and
developed a revolutionary
communication system.
At first, his system wasn't thought to be a
big deal. When X showed it to his
colleague Jerry Burchfiel, he said "Don't
tell anyone! This isn't what we're
supposed to be working on.“
Y was initially used in business
transactions.
Y was popularized by X’s invention.
13. Id both X and Y
X engineer, author, and a science
pioneer in the semiconductor
industry, also known as "guy who drove
the growth phase of Silicon Valley".
X on becoming CEO of the biggest
semiconductor company (Y) of
today, transformed it into the giant as we
know it today.
X and his two mates left Fairchild
Semiconductors in 1968.
X is idolized by Steve Jobs who asked
for his advice when he was planning to
return to Apple.
14. This is the mail sent by X to Y to
establish anIndia no big school of research in the fundamental

problems of physics, both theoretical and experimental. There
are, however, scattered all over India competent workers who are not doing
as good work as they would do if brought together in one place under proper
direction. It is absolutely in the interest of India to have a vigorous school of
research in fundamental physics, for such a school forms the spearhead of
research not only in less advanced branches of physics but also in problems
of immediate practical application in industry. If much of the applied research
done in India today is disappointing or of very inferior quality it is entirely due
to the absence of sufficient number of outstanding pure research workers
who would set the standard of good research and act on the directing boards
in an advisory capacity ... Moreover, when nuclear energy has been
successfully applied for power production in say a couple of decades from
now, India will not have to look abroad for its experts but will find them ready
at hand. I do not think that anyone acquainted with scientific development in
other countries would deny the need in India for such a school as I
propose.The subjects on which research and advanced teaching would be
done would be theoretical physics, especially on fundamental problems and
with special reference to cosmic rays and nuclear physics, and experimental
research on cosmic rays. It is neither possible nor desirable to separate
nuclear physics from cosmic rays since the two are closely connected
15. Id X
X was developed in 1983 by Richard
Stallman and was the original focus of

am I talking about ??
Jamie Link was doing her doctoral
work in chemistry at the University of
California, San Diego, one of the

These particles can be used to
monitor various amounts of data.
