A
Apple Inc cofounder and former CEO Steve Jobs，considered among the greatest American CEOs of his generation，died on Wednesday at the age of 56，after a yearlong and highly public battle with cancer.
Jobs' health had been a hot topic for years.His battle with cancer had been a deep concern to Apple fans，investors(投资人)and the company's board alike.
Jobs' death was announced by Apple in a statement late on Wednesday.The Apple.com homepage featured a blackandwhite picture of him with the words “Steve Jobs,19552011”．A message on the site read，“Apple has lost a creative genius，and the world has lost an amazing human being.”
“Steve's brilliance，passion and energy were the source of countless creations that enrich and improve all of our lives.The world is immeasurably better because of Steve，” Apple said in a statement announcing Jobs' passing.
The news caused an immediate outpouring of sympathy.Microsoft cofounder Bill Gates said he will miss Jobs “immensely”．
“By building one of the planet's most successful companies from his garage，he was a typical example of the spirit of American ingenuity(独创性)．By making computers personal and putting the Internet in our pockets，he made the information revolution not only accessible but fun.And by turning his talents to storytelling，he has brought joy to millions of children and grownups alike，” said President Barack Obama.

There are many famous museums throughout the world where people can enjoy art.Washington D．C.has the National Gallery of Art(美术馆); Paris has the Louvre; London，has the British Museum.Florida International University(FIU)in Miami also shows art for people to see.And it does so without a building，or even a wall for its drawings and paintings.
FIU has opened what it says is the first computer art museum in the United States.You don't have to visit the University to see the art.You just need a computer linked to a telephone.
You can call the telephone number of a university computer and connect your own computer to it.All of the art is stored in the school computer.It is computer art，produced electronically(采用电子手段)by artists in their own computers.In only a few minutes，your computer can receive and copy all the pictures and drawings.
Robert Shostak is director of the new computer museum.He says he started the museum because computer artists had no place to show their work.
A computer artist can only record his pictures electronically and send the records，or floppy discs(软盘)，to others to see on their computers.He can also put his pictures on paper.But to print good pictures in paper，the computer artist needs an expensive laser(激光)printer.
Robert Shostak says the electronic museum is mostly for art or computer students at schools and universities.Many of the pictures in the museum are made by students.Mr.Shostak says the FIU museum will make computer art more fun for computer artists because more people can see it.He says artists will enjoy their work much more if they have an audience.And the great number of home computers in America could mean a huge audience for the electronic museum.

Is this a car？Is it a smart phone？Is it a gaming machine?
Yes to all three.The Toyota FunVii is a pleasure palace on wheels.
If Toyota has its way，paint jobs could become a thing of the past，because it has introduced an amazing car that can change its whole look in an instant.
The Vii in FunVii，which stands for “Vehicle，Interactive，Internet”，is a small threeseater car that looks like a smart phone，so it is called a smart phone on wheels.Inside and out，most aspects of the car can interact(互相作用)with the Internet and be controlled by a smart phone.The magical car allows the owners to download pictures from their phones onto the outside，so that the look of the car could be changed instantly.The color inside could also be changed to reflect the owner's mood.Just as the company president Akio Toyoda said，“A car must appeal to our emotions.If it's not fun，it's not a car.”
Its outside and inside are not made of solid paint but touch screens that can display pictures and videos.A network update function downloads all the latest software to make sure the car is always uptodate，and it can provide the latest entertainment as well as information about its surroundings to the driver.As you drive around，the thoughtful car allows you to communicate with your friends in the nearby cars.It also helps you find your way from one place to another.It's all because the car is networked with all the other cars on the road and drives itself. The smart car is a practical，family sized vehicle fuelled by hydrogen，and it is one of the futuristic concept cars under the theme of “fun to drive，again”．It heralds(预示)a nottoodistant future where people，cars and society are linked.
