How to Change __MyCompanyName__ of XCode, once and for all

If you're sick of getting __MyCompanyName__ automatically in copyright notice of all your XCode source files, You can set the XCode default company name for copyright notice as follows:

This is damn simple!

Go to /Applications/Utilities and open Terminal.app and enter the following code there:
defaults write com.apple.Xcode PBXCustomTemplateMacroDefinitions '{ "ORGANIZATIONNAME" = "put_your_company_name_here";}'

Eg:
defaults write com.apple.Xcode PBXCustomTemplateMacroDefinitions '{ "ORGANIZATIONNAME" = "Raghavendra Nayak";}'

I have tried this with XCode 3.0 but this should work with older version also.
