21st Challenge No. 32

Credos of the high-tech world -- unencrypted!

Salon Default

Lurking in every company’s name is an acronym, intentional or otherwise. In this Challenge, we’re interested in the “otherwise.”

Readers are invited to crack the acronymic code of any well-known high-tech firm and, by so doing, unlock its corporate credo.

We welcome up to three original submissions from each entrant.

The winning response will receive a copy of Salon Technology senior correspondent Andrew Leonard’s book, “Bots: The Origin of New Species.”

In two weeks we’ll publish a winner and some selected entries — then start over a couple of weeks after that with a whole new challenge.
