To offset the extreme seriousness of the last few questions, here’s an extremely pointless question that’s worth wasting your time on:

First name:

Last Name:

Close associates:

Who is this character? (Extra-jobless people can please identify the character’s associates, too)

This image below shows a strange phenomenon. It is an image of the shadow of an object, but there seem to be bands of light in the shadow!

What is this, and why is it significant?

And just in case you’re under the smart-alecky impression that this phenomenon is not significant, here’s a clue. A clue to get the clue: why is their logo so weird?

I had a bit of extra time today, so here’s a question that may require you to dig deeper than usual. Connect the three magazine covers below.

udupendra , 2ndratequizzer , alephnull , nihit , prasanth , Tathagata Chatterjee and SidSen have some real good taste.

udupendra, 2ndratequizzer, alephnull, nihit, prasanth, Tathagata Chatterjee and sidsen

1,2 and 3 are few of the many things which have a 4 letter name you would have heard a 1000 times over the past year or so.

What is it? ( and identify 1,2,3)

AJAX: Asynchronous Javascript and XML is the answer. It has been the buzz word of the web 2.0 era, with every site (including mine) flaunting Ajax capabilities more as a fashion statement than need :)

Lemme quote Srichand’s answer for details

“The first chap is Ajax , the son of Telamon and Periboea and king of Salamis.

Second picture, is the city of Ajax, in Ontario Canada, famous for Sum 41 the band

The third picture, is… well, Ajax, the arcade game.

The title, refers to the message shown when gmail loads up.. Gmail of course, is the most popular Ajax application around.”

My other favourite Ajax products are :D

and the AJAX company which is a competitor of ACME corporation :)
