One of the giants of the technology sector, Steve Jobs, passed away today aged 56.
The Internet is rife with tributes from every possible corner; from blogs to Flickr to print and social media – everyone is mourning and remembering.
Yahoo! co-founder, Jerry Yang, had the following words to share:
“Steve was my hero growing up. He not only gave me a lot of personal advice and encouragement, he showed all of us how innovation can change lives. I will miss him dearly, as will the world.”

As you’ve probably heard, thanks to a severe drought and rising food prices, millions of lives are being threatened — and it is, unfortunately, the children who are the most vulnerable in this dire situation.
In the fight against hunger Yahoo! supports the initiative “Save The Children” and the Bob Marley family. Please check out the link below to find answers to many unanswered questions about the crisis and detailed instructions on how you can donate.
Also, check out this powerful short film — featuring Bob Marley & The Wailers’ 1973 track, “High Tide or Low Tide” — which was created by Kevin Macdonald (award-winning director of “The Last King of Scotland”) to raise awareness for this very important cause.
Let’s all do our part so that this tragedy will not remain silent. I encourage everyone to also share your suggestions on how else we can help the starving in East Africa and to spread the word about the cause through social media sites like Facebook and Twitter.
“Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2″ marks the end of a magical movie franchise that are all based on the equally successful “Harry Potter” novels by the British author J. K. Rowling.
According to news, hundreds of die-hard fans waited patiently outside London’s Trafalgar Square last Thursday, July 7, at the movie’s world premiere to catch a glimpse of the actors that brought the characters to life.
The movie opens in some countries on July 13, and in the key British and U.S. markets on July 15.
As we celebrate the end of this amazing series, let’s go back and think of our favorite moments in the films. Particularly, I want to ask this question:

An Israeli couple has named their baby Like, after the Like button on Facebook. We’ve heard some unique names in our time, but this one is a bit silly. The couple claims they thought the name sounded “modern and innovative.”
Facebook did not pay the couple, obviously, but this incident shows how large a role social media play in our lives. Next thing you know, parents will start naming their children, Facebook. Wait, that actually happened earlier this year! A man in Egypt named his daughter Facebook to express “his joy at the achievements made by the January 25 youth.”
Now we turn to our community. What do you think of these names? What’s the most unusual name you’ve ever heard of?
Last week, Friday, we let you know that Answers would be unavailable Monday, May 16 for several hours. We are happy to share that all maintenance has now been completed and the site is available again.
We apologize for any inconvenience. Thanks so much for your patience!
Yahoo! Answers will be unavailable Monday, 16 May, from 3:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., due to planned maintenance. If there is any change to this schedule, we will update the information here.
