Steve Job dies

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.

"I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple's CEO, I would be the first to let you know," Jobs wrote in his letter of resignation. "Unfortunately, that day has come."

One of the world's most famous CEOs, Jobs remained stubbornly private about his personal life, refusing interviews and shielding his wife and their children from public view.

"He's never been a media person," said industry analyst Tim Bajarin, president of Creative Strategies, after Jobs resigned. "He's granted interviews in the context of product launches, when it benefits Apple, but you never see him talk about himself."

The highlights of Jobs's career trajectory are well-known: a prodigy who dropped out of Reed College in Oregon and, at 21, started Apple with Wozniak in his parents' garage. He was a multimillionaire by 25, appeared on the cover of Time magazine at 26, and was ousted at Apple at age 30, in 1984.

In the years that followed, he went into other businesses, founding NeXT computers and, in 1986, buying the computer graphics arm of Lucasfilm, Ltd., which became Pixar Animation Studios.

He was described as an exacting and sometimes fearsome leader, ordering up and rejecting multiple versions of new products until the final version was just right. He said the design and aesthetics of a device were as important as the hardware and software inside.

 In 1996, Apple, which had struggled without Jobs, brought him back by buying NeXT. He became CEO in 1997 and put the company on a remarkable upward path.

By 2001 the commercial music industry was on its knees because digital recordings, copied and shared online for free, made it unnecessary for millions of people to buy compact discs.

Jobs took advantage with the iPod -- essentially a pocket-sized computer hard drive with elegantly simple controls and a set of white earbuds so that one could listen to the hours of music one saved on it. He set up the iTunes online music store, and persuaded major recording labels to sell songs for 99 cents each. No longer did people have to go out and buy a CD if they liked one song from it. They bought a digital file and stored it in their iPod.

In 2007, he transformed the cell phone. Apple's iPhone, with its iconic touch screen, was a handheld computer, music player, messaging device, digital wallet and -- almost incidentally -- cell phone. Major competitors, such as BlackBerry, Nokia and Motorola, struggled after it appeared.

By 2010, Apple's new iPad began to cannibalize its original business, the personal computer. The iPad was a sleek tablet computer with a touch screen and almost no physical buttons. It could be used for almost anything software designers could conceive, from watching movies to taking pictures to leafing through a virtual book.

Another PAWN down...

In the game of chess there are 6 type of pieces used whose points and privileges vary from each other. The King has maximum of 200 points and pawn has minimum of 1 point. The king is only 1 and most valuable while pawns are more in number but least valuable. There are times in game when pawn are sacrificed to save the king/queen or any other more valuable piece. But "after the game King and pawn go into the same box" either in both situations winning or losing.

This proverb leads us to its distressful meaning where lies the factual power of this saying King may refer to our rulers, pawns are the people and box is coffin where every one has to go after the game and there will be no difference or inequality among king or pawn thus proving "death is a great equalizer" or a temporary equal state exist during prayers after that status prevails

EK HI SAF MEIN KHARE HO GAYE MAHMOOD-O –AYAZ
NA KOI BANDA RAHA NA KOI BANDA NAWAZ
BANDA-O, SAHEB-O, MUHTAJ-O, GHANI EK HUWE,
TERI SARKAR MEIN AAYE TO SABHI EK HUWE

It is seen that for past few years pawns of Pakistan are facing the menace of so called terrorism and killing many innocent pawns during this span but in a recent incident that took place in Karachi near Benazir Bhutto park on 8 June 2011. The unarmed youth Sarfraz who was a student of matric class was killed by rangers, who accuse the victim of theft and involvement in criminal activities judged merciless on the spot and shot him two bullets. It is a bizarre situation that the people who are appointed to protect the people start killing them result in uprising among the Pakistani pawns, even in chess white king cannot strike white pawn "NOT ALLOWED". Similar incident took place few days back when FC men killed five Chechen people brutally, and a journalist Saleem Shahzad found dead near Islamabad who was coming for an interview at a local tv station (duniya) was kidnapped and found dead near Mandi Bahauddin. Shahzad had complained about being threatened by Pakistan (ISI) agency.

Pawns of Pakistan will face this music until and unless they select their king wisely on merit, at a moment the king of Pakistan have negative 200 points with a fabulous corrupt history and sarcastic, philosophical smile. The game will finish and the status of pieces does not matter as we think it does, perhaps there are some other elements that will give king and pawns a value and purpose. The game will end soon then comes the box so get real...

Car from "Gone in 60 seconds"

The 1967 Mustang GT500 car from gone in 60 seconds starring Nicolas Cage was really the show stopper. This celebrity car was destroyed during the bridge jump and crush scene but repaired later on for auctioning.

Imran Khan dharna to stop DRONE...

PESHAWAR- 24 April 2011 Imran Khan ended two day sit-in protest at Hayatabad against the drone attacks which US army is conducting for more than 8 years in our land and killing innocent people in the name of terrorists which lead to a series of condemnation(MUZAMAT) by all party leaders including chief of army staff. The condemnation is seen on television headlines by political leaders for some time which vanishes when another incident took place hence overriding the old one. Since the birth of Pakistan people are taking this bitter pill because of the calamity of leaders which they are facing since then.

But for past couple of years it is observed that people of Pakistan are gathering under the flag of PTI as it was seen on 23/24 April protest when a flock of people united for a cause with Imran khan along other party leaders to stop drone attacks in various parts of Pakistan that are killing 90% of innocent people and according to a local Malik(tribesman) 18 out of 20 victims of drone attacks are innocent.

He threaten that if drone attacks are not stopped he/PTI will block the NATO supply in peshawar, and blamed present government for all the innocent killing. The whole nation are condemning or falling prey to these acts but our leaders paying lip service to stop these attacks, adding that he will never compromise on national interests.

Other PTI leaders were also present in protest including Dr. Yaseen Rahid.
