Answer - My first question ever which could not be cracked. Surprised !!!

Anyway, the images are: Alan Kay, an eminent Xerox PARC researcher and scientist who started the OLPC (logo depicted). He came up with the original idea of a laptop in 1968 which was not supported commercially by Xerox. Epson (tagline depicted) took up the idea and made the first ever portable computer. Quanta Computer(bottom left) is the largest OEM for Apple, Dell, Lenovo & all the major companies making laptops with a global market share of nearly 30%. The Alan Kay concept was called The Dyna, indicated by the Harley Davidson Dyna shown in the upper left image. The common theme, obviously is the Laptop Computer !!!

Daily Trivia #427 : Pop the corn

Connect the above images....

Great response ppl !!!

As correctly cracked by most of u, it is indeed the Microwave Oven.

Invented by Percy Spencer at the defense industry behemoth Raytheon as a serendipity rather than a planned invention, it was commercially introduced as a standard household product by Amana Corp, now a subsidiary of Whirlpool. The final piece in the jigsaw is the dipole, which is the very foundation of cooking using a MW oven !!!
