(1) was chosen as the mascot for a product X, which forms the core for a major product Y.
(1) was named after (2), but the name was misspelt, and the wrong spelling stuck. (2) was chosen because he was a major proponent of (3)s work, and the community that chose (1) felt that it was analogical to the products X and Y.
But, interestingly, if anyone were to mention (1) and Y together, they would be breaking a lot of laws.
Identify 1, 2, 3 and X. Don’t identify Y, unless you want to be an outlaw :)
Dibyo, duriel, priyananda, Atul Mathew, jayanth and srikar chose to be outlaws. varuns88 and Ginkgo100 were very tactful while **sandesh, akhi and Poornima **played it safe. sidsen is secretly a lawyer.

The annals of computer history are littered with failed attempts at making friendlier and arbitrarily innovative interfaces. The gallery below is one such attempt.

Which product had these strange characters as its user interface? Extra-bored people may also want to list the names of these characters, and identify this product’s legacy in today’s world.

These are helpers/assistants that used to be on the UI of Microsoft Bob. Each of these guys has a name, and lots of people have IDd that name, so check out the answers for more details.
A dry question for today, brought to you Karthik Jagadeesan. Keep the guest Qs coming to [email protected]!
X is said to have invented this game, independently, after Y first invented this. Y did this at the Bohr Institute. Y was a scientist, mathematician, author and poet.
X is a mathematician as well. X became known to a larger number of people, the masses, due to a relatively recent popular culture happening. Though this happening did not really stick to all that X was privately about.
Name X and Y. Bonus stud points if you can figure out the name of the game.

(1) is a depiction of the legend that Archimedes used giant reflectors to construct a heat ray and burn ships with it from a distance. Many scientists doubted the veracity of this and one, Ionis Sakkas, took it upon himself to check whether it is possible. (2) is a photo of his attempt.
