QR–Cure–Quizzing Realms–354

Not too difficult.

What you just heard is an electronica/techno mix of an old song. The new one features in the album MIDIval Times by the MIDIval Pundtiz. All I want you to do is identify the voice you just heard, and tell me the name of the film where the original song was first used.

PS: Given below are the questions for Mind Your Business Quiz, edition 14, by yours truly. It is published every Friday in The Financial World, New Delhi edition.

MYB - 14

Send in the answers to all questions via SMS to 09999777553 before noon on Tuesday, February 28, and you could win a book!

Happy quizzing, and have a nice life, folks!

Two answers, and only one correct. That’s the almost unrecognisable voice of Narendra Chanchal, from a song that was used in the film Bobby!

QR–Cure–Quizzing Realms–353

Shouldn’t be too difficult.

Blank

What you see above is a notice issued by a firm called HBGary Inc at the RSA Convention in the US. Two words are screened out. Give me both words, and tell me the context that led to this offensive. If you already know it, you must be chuckling by now. If you don’t ‘Google baba ki jai’! And don’t forget to thank me later!

Yes, the two answers are correct. The first blank is a group called Anonymous: hackers who first gained notoriety thanks to the Koobface virus that spread through Facebook. What’s shown above is a fallout of the security group HBGary investigating the team and preparing to hand over the info to FBI.
