q 12 can have multiple answers!!

♫♥♥MANAS♥♥♫ said...

i also th8 so.. bt zeroed upon one of them..lets see what preetam comes up with...

Preetam Jena said...

Q#12 needs a minor change in the hint.Plz do not consider the hint.It dznt form the answer.N since its mentioned as a very subtle change it has to be subtle indeed.Not like apple changing colors n al.N since its mentioned unrelated business,It has to be unrelated to the parent company's main domain in any way.

Preetam Jena said...

I think v shud give the quizmaster the adequate amount of leverage here.

Don Z said...

what do u mean by subtle??
Thats a judgemental word...
Apple perfectly fits the answer...apple's parent company is of-course from PC business..
And then they jumped into iPods...

Preetam Jena said...

Dude...Apple dint go ne untested waters.Dy just sold a product which was nu but very much da same as their oder business like the Computers,softwares etc.So u cnt say by producing a IPod dy ventured something very diff.
