Q6 Minimum Orbital Unmanned Satellite of Earth
Q10 Big Blue was an IBM computer built to play chess at highest level. I think it beat Gary Kasparov.

MOUSE is an acronym for
Minimum Orbital unmanned Satellite Earth
Microsoft Office User Specialist (yes, I know it should be MOUSpE, blame Acronym Attic, not me)
Making Opportunities for Upgrading Schools and Education (probably not what you're looking for)
Manually Oscillating Utensil Sonically Engaged (again, probably not what you want)

Big Blue is a common nickname for IBM Corp. There are others, which you can find at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Blue_%28disambiguation%29

but they're not really technology related.

The first computer virus (as a program or routine which can replicate itself) was a subroutine called PERVADE, part of a game called ANIMAL, written by John Walker
The first microcomputer virus was a program called Elk Cloner, written by Richard Skrenta, Jr., when he was 14 years old (if I've understood what 9th-grade means). It ran on Apple micros.
The first PC virus was created in 1986 by two programmers from Lahore, in Pakistan, known as Brain.A.
PERVADE should be the answer, but Brain.A has just turned 20 years old, so that may be the answer they are looking for.

The first commercial arcade game was a game called Computer Space, designed by Nolan Bushnell of Nutting Associates, in 1971, but it was not a commercial success.
Bushnell used the profits from Computer Space to form Atari, and released Pong, which was the first commercially successful arcade game, in 1972.

Manually-Operated User-Selection Equipment
