OP, most of them are correct, except the following which are backronyms: ADEWUMIMichael:The word "Google" is actually a misspelling of the word googol, the number one followed by one hundred zeros, which was picked to signify that the search engine was intended to provide large quantities of information 3.) WINDOW - Wide Interactive Network Development for Office work Solution.Again this is another backronym. 4.) COMPUTER - Common Oriented Machine Particularly United and used under Technical and Educational Research.The word computer is not even an acronym but originates from the Latin word computare "to count, sum up, reckon together," from com- "with" + putare "to reckon," originally "to prune" 5.) VIRUS - Vital Information Resources Under Siege.The word virus is not an acronym, probably from PIE root *weis- "to melt away, to flow,". 44.) OVI - Ohio Video Intranet.Ovi is not an acronym but a borrowed word from Finnish word " ovi" meaning "door" 53.) DELL - Digital electronic link library.Dell is not an acronym and is actually Eponymously named after its founder, Michael Dell. 54.) ACER - Acquisition Collaboration Experimentation Reflection.Although I doubt that "Acer" is an acronym i couldn't find any source of the etymology of the word. You can Let Others Know This[/quote] The rest are correct, although I stand to be corrected. 116 Likes 4 Shares |

I also doubt that WIFI acronym What is Wireless Fidelity?A common misconception is that the term Wi-Fi is short for "wireless fidelity." This is not the case. Wi-Fi is simply a trademarked term meaning IEEE 802.11x. The false notion that the brand name "Wi-Fi" is short for "wireless fidelity" has spread to such an extent that even industry leaders have included the phrase wirelessfidelity in a press release. You'll also find references to Wi-Fi being short for wireless fidelity on a number of well-known and respected technology-focused publications and websites. The truth is, Wi-Fi isn't short for anything — and it never was. Source- www.webopedia.com 7 Likes 1 Share |

rookidmart: I was about to point that out on a few of them as well. Good going. Yahoo is also a backronym. Then APK is actually Android Application Package, or Android Package Kit. DIVX is actually Digital Video Express. 5 Likes |
