Steve Jobs dies: Apple chief created personal computer, iPad, iPod, iPhone



Steve Jobs, the mastermind behind Apple's iPhone, iPad, iPod, iMac and iTunes, has died, Apple said. Jobs was 56.

"We are deeply saddened to announce that Steve Jobs passed away today," read a statement by Apple's board of directors. "Steve's brilliance, passion and energy were the source of countless innovations that enrich and improve all of our lives. The world is immeasurably better because of Steve. His greatest love was for his wife, Laurene, and his family. Our hearts go out to them and to all who were touched by his extraordinary gifts."
The homepage of Apple's website this evening switched to a full-page image of Jobs with the text, "Steve Jobs 1955-2011."

Clicking on the image revealed the additional text: "Apple has lost a visionary and creative genius, and the world has lost an amazing human being. Those of us who have been fortunate enough to know and work with Steve have lost a dear friend and an inspiring mentor. Steve leaves behind a company that only he could have built, and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple."

Jobs co-founded Apple Computer in 1976 and, with his childhood friend Steve Wozniak, marketed what was considered the world's first personal computer, the Apple II.
Shortly after learning of Jobs' death, Wozniak told ABC News, "I'm shocked and disturbed."
Industry watchers called him a master innovator -- perhaps on a par with Thomas Edison -- changing the worlds of computing, recorded music and communications.

In 2004, he beat back an unusual form of pancreatic cancer, and in 2009 he was forced to get a liver transplant. After several years of failing health, Jobs announced on Aug. 24, 2011 that he was stepping down as Apple's chief executive.

There are about 500 active volcanoes in the world and about 1500 potentially active volcanoes. The list below is about top ten largest volcanoes in the world.


1. Mount Mazama/Crater Lake, Oregon, erupted over 6000 years ago; Crater Lake became national Park since 1902.

Bapak durjana

Apa jenis bapak nih.





BEIJING - Seorang bapa mengancam mahu membunuh anak perempuannya dengan sebilah pedang samurai jika polis mahu menahannya selepas dia melanggar sebuah kereta lain, lapor sebuah akhbar semalam.

Bapa itu yang dikenali sebagai Zhang Gang, 32, bertindak mengacukan sebilah pedang ke arah dada seorang anak perempuannya yang dirangkulnya dan sedang menangis di tepi keretanya.

Gang yang mengacukan pedang itu menjerit bagi meminta tidak ditangkap selepas dia dikehendaki polis bagi memberikan keterangan kerana kereta yang dipandunya berlanggar dengan sebuah kereta lain.

Sebelum itu, dia bertindak membrek keretanya di luar sebuah pasar petani di daerah Yongren, wilayah Yunan apabila dua buah kereta polis membuat sekatan dengan menghalang laluan keretanya.

Orang ramai di pasar itu turut menyaksikan detik-detik cemas tersebut manakala isteri Gang hanya mendiamkan diri di dalam kereta tersebut dalam kejadian yang berlaku baru-baru ini.

Gang kemudian memasuki semula keretanya tetapi dia masih mengacukan pedang itu ke arah dada anaknya itu.

Seorang anggota polis yang mahir berunding dengan penjenayah kemudian mendekati kereta lelaki itu manakala beberapa saudara-maranya termasuk ibunya turut dihantar polis ke tempat kejadian untuk memujuknya menyerah diri.

Ketika rundingan itu rancak berjalan, beberapa anggota polis menyerbu kereta tersebut dan menangkap Gang serta menyelamatkan anak perempuannya dalam serbuan yang menurut beberapa saksi hanya berlaku dalam tempoh beberapa saat selepas drama itu berlaku selama dua jam. - Agensi
