Steve Jobs Resigns as Apple CEO

Steve Jobs's Resignation Letter

I hereby resign as CEO of Apple. I would like to serve, if the Board sees fit, as Chairman of the Board, director and Apple employee.
As far as my successor goes, I strongly recommend that we execute our succession plan and name Tim Cook as CEO of Apple.
I believe Apple's brightest and most innovative days are ahead of it. And I look forward to watching and contributing to its success in a new role.
I have made some of the best friends of my life at Apple, and I thank you all for the many years of being able to work alongside you.
Steve"

Indeed, it is very short resignation letter for a great man who set the course for mobile computing and digital entertainment. Since Bill Gates retired from Microsoft in 2008, Jobs was the last of those early pioneers still leading the industry.
Most people are lucky if they can change the world in one important way, but Mr. Jobs, in multiple stages of his business career, changed global technology and media in multiple ways on multiple occasions. And that changed the way people live.
And that's why the day Steve Jobs resigns as CEO of Apple isn't like the day a typical CEO resigns.

The ON/OFF Switch could be the problem

Your desktop computer suddenly couldn't start. You open the casing and find that the processor fan can't rotate, the indicator LED also dead. The most common is the power supply problem. However, it didn't happen to me last week. I tried hard to find the problem even changed the power supply but nothing worked. I persistently thought that the problem come from electricity not from the motherboard. After several unused efforts I finally found that the problem was the cable connection inside the connector which connect the ON/OFF switch from the casing into the mother board was loose (see pictures). Only need to tighten the connection and finally all worked well. You can see it was an embarrassing moment but at least I can share with you that this kind of condition can really happen.

The Differences between JavaScript and Java

1.Java developed by Sun Microsystems and JavaScript developed by Netscape.
2.Java is an object-oriented programming language. It can be used to develop stand alone application, web application, or applet (mini application for web page). On the other hand JavaScript is smaller programming language. Some references even said that JavaScript is more appropriate to be called scripting language rather than programming language. JavaScript code commonly is injected into HTML code in order to provide levels of interactivity. JavaScript can provide functions or logical operations such as if..then, while..do, for, etc which can’t be tackled by flat HTML. JavaScript can’t be used for developing stand alone application.
3.Java's objects are class-based; JavaScript's objects are prototype-based.
4.JavaScript needs browser for running the code. On the other hand Java besides can be run in browser it also can be compiled and run in virtual machine
5.Java has static typing, JavaScript's typing is dynamic. It means a variable in JavaScript can hold an object of any type and cannot be restricted.
