The Internet
The internet is a marvelous invention. Did you know it was created by the government in the sixties, but made popular in the nineties?
Today everyone uses it, and it is becoming an essential part of everyday life. But the reality of it is, how much do you really know about it?
Can you answer the following questions?
- What does the http and https stand for in a web address?
- What is the internet protocol suite called?
- What important piece of hardware began mass production in 1958 thanks to SAGE?
- What protocol replaced DIXIE and DAS in 1993?
Now for a riddle:
Search for the answer, next knows the way.
Tell me the apple wants me to stay.
Eat quite the bill.
Very alien will.
Each has their place in this play.
What computing giants are present here?
- What references were made for the giants?
But wait, there's more!
For a one time fee of answering the question below (along with the questions and riddle above), your answer will be accepted! But act now because time is running out!
- Which computing giant's technology do I use most?
Also, I would really enjoy some feedback on my very first limerick!

Steve Jobs founded NeXT, the company on whose computer the www was created

Apple - Maybe the reference here is the re-hire of Steve Jobs as the interim CEO or iCEO
Eat quite the bill.
Microsoft - reference bill - Bill Gates the founder.

By "their place", I assume they all have their headquarters in the United States

HAHAHA That's awesome! +1 for the StackOverflow reference there! Very resourceful. You have lines 1 and 2 correct. Line 3 is technically acceptable, but there are actually two references there (think similar to line 2); line four isn't really a giant but more of a high dollar brand. Just as line 1 isn't really a giant either. As for the technology, you'll need to answer the questions I posed.

Yes.. I realized the extras in Line 1. I have just edited the answer. You might want to check Line 1 and Line 3 again. :)

Lines 1, 2, and 3 are correct references; the secondary reference on line 3 is not correct though. The line as a whole in reference to the titan named in line 3 is a literal reference. Line 5 is a play on words to tie everything together; and line 4 is still incorrect.

Questions:
What does the http and https stand for in a web address?
hypertext transfer protocol (secure). Application layer protocol for making requests.
What is the internet protocol suite called?
"It is commonly known as TCP/IP because the foundational protocols in the suite are the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and the Internet Protocol (IP)." -wiki
What important piece of hardware began mass production in 1958?
"The first integrated circuit was produced in September 1958" - wiki. Allowed us to step away from vacuum tubes.
What protocol replaced DIXIE and DAS in 1993?
Huh, apparently: Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)
Riddle:
Search for the answer, next knows the way.
NeXT computing
Tell me the apple wants me to stay.
Apple / Steve Jobs. Was thinking this but @Vivek Parekh had better details.
Eat quite the bill.
Microsoft / Bill Gates. Although it also made me think of the (probably) huge medical bills related to Steve's cancer.
Very alien will.
Something more literal like SETI, or something more figurative like the departure from the norm that Apple / Steve took to get to the original iPhone?
Each has their place in this play.
Literal like a location, or more figurative such as each had a hand in bringing about personal computing, and thus wide-scale access to the internet?
Bonus:
Apple / MacOS / iOS. The references to apple, as well as the STEVE acrostic?

Okay so the piece of hardware from 1958 is technically acceptable but it is wrong for the purposes of the puzzle. I shall refine that to narrow the possibilities.

Steve Ballmer replaced bill gates as CEO (fits the steve acrostic), but Microsoft is probably the answer
Very alien will.
IBM is one letter off HAL (from 2001 a space odyssey)
Each has their place in this play.
Pirates of silicon valley (or maybe triumph of the nerds)
Bonus:
Probably google's with all the searching you had to do to make this puzzle ;)
