Info needed for Quiz

[prashanthpai]

I am participating in a IT Quiz sponsored by TCS. It's all about computers and IT. Just cleared the prelims and was damn easy. But later levels are very competitive. Last year, I couldn't make into grand final. This year I don't wanna miss it as this is the last opportunity for me.

The thing is that they ask very less technical questions. They ask more questions like company founders, taglines, CEOs, MDs, year of foundation, who endorses which product and who acquired who, inventions, history and stuff like that. I can get over with software related, technical, abbreviations, domains etc.

So guys, is there a single place or site where I can find company details like founders, year, CEO and taglines.
The quiz also involves stuff like they show a picture and we'll have to identify the person or logo of company.
Else I have to read through each Wikipedia entry and hunt for information.

Thanks in advance :)

That is certainly not easy. Hmm for the time being I can only think of wikipedia... Will let you know if I find any.

While preparing for this last year, I found a huge list of all computer related abbreviations - it's really useful

BTW, here's a sample of what quiz is like - it's the finals. I have to get through 3 more levels to reach there.
