History of Steve Jobs

Steve Jobs (born February 24, 1955) is the co-founder and chief executive officer of Apple Inc. Apple's destiny has been closely tied to Jobs, the short-tempered and charismatic leader who rescued the computer maker from near death in 1996 after a 12-year absence from the company he co-founded. His role in turning around the company into the electronics powerhouse of today is well-documented: the global spread of the iPhone, the rise of the iPad that single-handedly created the tablet market, and continued strong growth from a resurgent Mac line of computers. He had surgery in 2004 for an unusual type of tumor on his pancreas called a neuroendocrine tumor -- which often is not quite as deadly as pancreatic cancer. The tumors can cause hormone imbalances, like the one that prompted Jobs to take medical leave in 2009. Jobs had a liver transplant in 2009, and organ transplant recipients sometimes have recurring health issues for life, in part because they often must take immune-suppressing drugs to prevent organ rejection. In 1972, Jobs graduated from Homestead High School in Cupertino, California and enrolled in Reed College in Oregon. One semester later he dropped out. Jobs started Apple with a fellow college dropout Steve Wozniak in his family garage in Los Altos, California in April 1976. Jobs, then 21, was the "sales" guy, while Wozniak worked as an engineer. Born on February 24, 1955, in San Francisco to then unmarried graduate student Joanne Carole Schieble and a Syrian father Abdulfattah Jandali, Steven Paul Jobs was adopted by Clara and Paul Jobs, a middle-class American couple. Steve Jobs's quest for spiritual enlightenment brought him to India in the summer of 1974. Jobs came to India with one of his best friends from Reed College, Dan Kottke. One of the most admired CEOs, Jobs takes home a $1 salary. However, he owns some 5.5 million shares in the company, which are worth some $1.8 billion. Jobs married Laurene Powell, on March 18, 1991. The couple have a son, Reed Paul Jobs, and two other children. Steve also has a daughter, Lisa Brennan-Jobs (born 1978), from his relationship with Bay Area painter Chrisann Brennan. She briefly raised their daughter on welfare when Jobs denied paternity, claiming that he was sterile; he later acknowledged paternity.

An Earthlike Planet Found

NASA, Nov 27 (TruthDive): Scientists claim to have discovered a potentially habitable planet which has an environment much similar to that of Earth and may contain water and even life.

Gliese 581g, located around 123 trillion miles away, orbits a star at a distance that places it squarely in the habitable – or Goldilocks – zone, Nasa said.

Gliese 581g, which some believe may be able to support human life. However, although the planet has many of the conditions necessary for us, there is some bad news’: it’s about 20 light years – or 118,000,000,000,000 miles – from Earth. To put that into perspective, if a rocket flying from Earth travelled at a tenth of the speed of light (19,000 miles a second) it would take 200 years to arrive at Gliese 581g.

The planet is thought to be one of six worlds that orbits the red dwarf star Gliese 518, which is 50 times cooler and a third of the size of the our Sun, however some astronomers doubt its existence.

The new findings are based on 11 years of observations of the nearby red dwarf star Gliese 581 using the HIRES spectrometer on the Keck I Telescope by a team of planet-hunters from University of California (UC) Santa Cruz and the Carnegie Institution of Washington.

But U.S. experts believe Saturn’s moon, Titan, is still the most likely so far to support life based on surface conditions and whether vital chemical reactions are possible.

In the paper, the authors propose a series of indices that could be used by the international community as it continues to search for signs of extra-terrestrial life.

Dirk Schulze-Makuch, first author on the new paper and an astrobiologist at Washington State University, said the team said such an index would have two main components.

“The first question is whether Earth-like conditions can be found on other worlds, since we know empirically that those conditions could harbor life,” said Schulze-Makuch. “The second question is whether conditions exist on exoplanets that suggest the possibility of other forms of life, whether known to us or not. As a practical matter, interest in exoplanets is going to focus initially on the search for terrestrial, Earth-like planets.”

C-DAC bags award for innovation excellence

The Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC), the premier research and development organisation under the Ministry of Communications and IT, has bagged the IDC High-Power Computing (HPC) Innovation Excellence Award announced at the International Data Corporation briefing on the sidelines of the Supercomputing Conference 2011 held in Seattle.

The award was presented to Goldi Misra, group coordinator and head, HPC Solutions Group, C-DAC, for the indigenously developed HPC product ‘CHReME' (C-DAC HPC Resource Management Engine).

CHReME serves as a user-friendly innovative Web interface tool that allows scientists and researchers to utilise their HPC system optimally for their research, without expending their energy towards the detailed workings of HPC and, hence, resulting in more accurate results.

It also provides the statistical information represented in graphs and charts, which facilitate the monitoring and management of HPC resources in a judicial manner.
