Steven Paul Jobs

(February 24, 1955 – October 5, 2011)
He was an American businessman, designer and inventor. He is best known as the co-founder, chairman,
and chief executive officer of Apple Inc. Through Apple, he was widely recognized as a charismatic pioneer
of the personal computer revolution and for his influential career in the computer and consumer
electronics fields. Jobs also co-founded and served as chief executive of Pixar Animation Studios; he
became a member of the board of directors of The Walt Disney Company in 2006, when Disney acquired
Pixar.
In the late 1970s, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak engineered one of the first commercially successful
lines of personal computers, the Apple II series. Jobs was among the first to see the commercial potential
of Xerox PARC's mouse-driven graphical user interface, which led to the creation of the Apple Lisa and, one
year later, the Macintosh. During this period, he also led efforts that would begin the desktop publishing
revolution, notably through the introduction of the LaserWriter and the associated PageMaker software.
He was credited in Toy Story (1995) as an executive producer. Over the next decade, Jobs oversaw the
development of the iMac, iTunes, iPod, iPhone, and iPad and on the services side, the company's Apple
Retail Stores, iTunes Store and the App Store. The enormous success of these products and services,
providing years of stable financial returns, propelled Apple to become the world's most valuable publicly
traded company in 2011. The reinvigoration of the company is regarded as one of the greatest business
turnaround stories in history.

65. Article title:

a) How Wikipedia changed the world of encyclopaedias.
b) How to use an encyclopaedia.

The Encyclopaedia Britannica has always been a popular encyclopaedia. It has articles by over 4,000 writers
on over 32,000 pages; there are 32 volumes and it weighs 58 kilogrammes. But the world of encyclopaedias
changed in 1993, when Microsoft, the world’s largest computer software company, launched its own
encyclopaedia, Encarta.

Microsoft had enough money to pay a large team of professional writers and programmers. Customers paid
a lot of money to buy it, on CDs or online. But after only eight years, the world changed again.

Wikipedia was launched in January 2001 by Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger. They didn’t pay for teams of
writers – they just waited for people to write for fun. They also didn’t pay people to check what others
were writing – again, everyone worked for free. And customers didn’t buy their encyclopaedia as books or
CDs – it was all free on the Internet. Nobody thought Wikipedia could compete with the other
encyclopaedias. But it is now one of the largest and most popular encyclopaedias.

Of course, there are problems. People sometimes write about subjects that they don’t really understand
and don´t have all the correct information. Some writers have very strong feelings about a subject, so
readers aren’t sure if they’re reading opinions or facts. Sometimes people invent facts or give false
information which can make the people they write about angry.

Fortunately, problems like these aren’t common. There are only a few mistakes in most encyclopaedias.
There are now good systems to look for problems and to fix them quickly. So when you find information
in online encyclopaedias, it is a good idea to check your facts somewhere else too.
