Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein was considered the greatest scientist of the
20th century and one of the greatest of all time. His
discoveries and theories have greatly influenced science in
many fields. Einstein was born in 1879 in Ulm, a city in
Germany. As a boy, he was slow to learn to talk, but later
in his childhood he showed great curiosity about nature
and ability to solve difficult mathematical problems. After
he left school, he went to Switzerland, where he graduated
from the university with a degree in mathematics. In 1905,
Einstein began to publish a series of papers which shook
the whole scientific and intellectual world, and for the
theories he established in the papers he won the Nobel
Prize for Physics in 1921. Because Einstein was Jewish,
when Hitler took over Germany in 1933, he had to leave
the country and finally settled in the United States. There
he continued his study on the structure of the universe
until his death in 1955. Among the several important
discoveries Einstein made in his life, the greatest is the
creation of his famous Theory of Relativity.

Unsung hero : Jack Kilby

There are few men whose insights and
professional accomplishments have changed
the world. Jack Kilby was one of these men.
His invention of the monolithic integrated
circuit - the microchip - laid the conceptual
and technical foundation for the entire field
of modern microelectronics. From Jack
Kilby's first simple circuit has grown a
worldwide integrated circuit market whose
sales in 2007 totaled $219 billion.
About Jack

Jack Kilby grew up in Great Bend, Kansas
and joined TI in Dallas in 1958. During the
summer of that year, working with borrowed
and improvised equipment, he conceived
and built the first electronic circuit in which
all of the components, both active and
passive, were fabricated in a single piece of
semiconductor material half the size of a
paper clip.
The chip that Jack built

It was a relatively simple device that Jack
Kilby showed to a handful of co-workers
gathered in TI's semiconductor lab 50 years
ago -- only a transistor and other
components on a slice of germanium. Little
did this group of onlookers know that Kilby's
invention was about to revolutionize the
electronics industry.
Nobel Prize

Jack Kilby received the Nobel Prize in
Physics on December 10. 2000 for his part
in the invention of the integrated circuit. To
congratulate him, U.S. President Bill Clinton
wrote, "You can take pride in the knowledge
that your work will help to improve lives for
generations to come."
What If He Had Gone on Vacation

"As a new employee, I had no vacation time
coming and was left alone to ponder the
results of the IF amplifier exercise. The cost
analysis gave me my first insight into the
cost structure of a semiconductor house."

Some saying by Bill Gates
1．生活是不公平的，你要去适应它。
2．这个世界并不会在意你的自尊，而是要求你在
自我感觉良好之前先有所成就。
3．刚从学校走出来时你不可能一个月挣6万美元，
更不会成为哪家公司的副总裁，还拥有一部汽车，
直到你将这些都挣到手的那一天。
4．如果你认为学校里的老师过于严厉，那么等你
有了老板再回头想一想。
5．卖汉堡包并不会有损于你的尊严。你的祖父母
对卖汉堡包有着不同的理解，他们称之为“机遇”
。
6．如果你陷入困境，那不是你父母的过错，
不要将你理应承担的责任转嫁给他人，而要
学着从中吸取教训。
7．在你出生之前，你的父母并不像现在这样
乏味。他们变成今天这个样子是因为这些年
来一直在为你付账单、给你洗衣服。所以，
在对父母喋喋不休之前，还是先去打扫一下
你自己的屋子吧。
8．你所在的学校也许已经不再分优等生和劣
等生，但生活却并不如此。在某些学校已经
没有了“不及格”的概念，学校会不断地给
你机会让你进步，然而现实生活完全不是这
样
9．走出学校后的生活不像在学校一样有学期
之分，也没有暑假之说。没有几位老板乐于
帮你发现自我，你必须依靠自己去完成。
10．电视中的许多场景决不是真实的生活。
在现实生活中，人们必须埋头做自己的工作
，而非像电视里演的那样天天泡在咖啡馆里
。
11．善待你所厌恶的人，因为说不定哪一天
你就会为这样的一个人工作。
