question:These amazing pictures show the life-or-death struggle faced by Kurdish fighters as they battle through rubble-strewn streets against ISIS extremists in the battle for Syrian border town of Kobane. Images from the front-line show the trail of destruction left in the town, where weeks of fighting have taken place as Islamic State militants make their advances. US-led air strikes have hit jihadist positions in the north and east of Syria today, including an oil field, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. Armed Kurdish fighters are seen holding guns as they cower in one of the many destroyed buildings in the town of Kobane in Syria. A man armed with two guns walks through the streets of Kobane as Kurdish fighters mark the front-line in the battle against jihadists. The destruction left after weeks of fighting in the town, which has seen most of its 55,000 residents flee and attempt to seek refuge. A Kurdish fighter takes a moments rest whilst lying among debris yesterday. According to the group the movement of ISIS has slowed. Us-led airstrikes were launched on jihadist positions in the north and east of Syria today after militant shelling killed two civilians. The raids against ISIS came after militants shelled a camp for those displaced from Kobane - known as Ain al-Arab in Arabic - and killed two people, said the monitoring group. A spokesperson for the Observatory said: 'Four explosions were heard during the night in Deir Ezzor province [in eastern Syria], caused by US-Arab air strikes in the area of the Tanak oil field and an IS checkpoint... killing two people.' The Britain-based monitoring group, which relies on a network of sources on the ground for its reports, said it was unclear whether the casualties were jihadists or civilians. It has reported that four other people were injured, including a child, at the camp for people forced from Kobane by violence. These up-close and personal images show what life is really like in Kobane for Kurdish fighters, who are backed by Iraqi peshmerga. Kobane, which lies on the border with Turkey, has been besieged by IS for nearly two months as fighters stand guard for battle. In September ISIS launched a full scale assault on Kobane from the west and south of the town, destroying homes and buildings. An exploded mortar shell is seen lying in the streets in front of what might have once been a shop, which has seen been destroyed. The US-led coalition, which launched strikes against jihadist positions in Syria in September, also hit IS militants - which controls most oil fields in Deir Ezzor province - in Kobane. The town on the border with Turkey has been besieged by IS for nearly two months and these latest photographs show Syrian Kurdish fighters armed and ready for battle as their town lies in ruins. Men are seeing carrying guns in the streets, while other armed fighters hide in one of the many destroyed buildings. The Kurdish forces, backed by rebels and Iraqi peshmerga fighters, have been battling to expel IS from the town, where most of the 55,000 residents have fled. A Kurdish fighter is seen running through the streets of Kobane where violent fighting has broken out as ISIS tries to capture the town. The town has been left virtually empty as almost 90 per cent of its population has fled to seek refuge - mostly in neighbouring Turkey. Iraqi Kurdish regional government delivered two truckloads of ammunition that secretly crossed into the town via Turkey on Wednesday. Separately, the Syrian Observatory said fighting on Thursday night near Lebanon killed 31 combatants loyal to Syria's President Bashar al-Assad and 14 rebels, including Al-Qaeda militants. There has been frequent violence in Syria's Mount Hermon, but the toll over recent days has been unprecedented. In recent weeks, Lebanon has all but closed the border officially to incoming Syrian refugees, with troops bolstering border security. More than 1.1 million Syrian refugees are living in Lebanon, straining the country's limited resources and infrastructure. Thick plumes of grey smoke rise from an ISIS position in eastern Kobane, after an airstrike by the U.S-led coalition. The pillars of smoke, which swept across the skyline, could be seen from a hilltop outside Suruc on the Turkey-Syria border earlier today. Last week ISIS released images of their fighters engaging in street fighting in Kobane as part of their latest publicity stunt. The pictures, distributed by the media office in the ISIS 'capital' of Raqqa in Syria, show jihadis firing rocket-propelled grenades and assault rifles in the ruined streets of the town. Meanwhile, an international rights group claimed Islamic State militants tortured and abused Kurdish children captured earlier this year near the town. Human Rights Watch based its conclusions on interviews with several children who were among more than 150 Kurdish boys from Kobane abducted in late May as they were returning home after taking school exams in the city of Aleppo. It said around 50 of the Kurds escaped early in their captivity, while the rest were released in batches - the last on October 29.

It has emerged that ISIS fighters beat Kurdish children taken from the besieged Syrian border town of Kobane with electrical cables. Kurdish militants fire a machine gun mounted on a truck at ISIS positions during fighting west of Kobane last week. What are highlight points for this article?

question:Macintosh Apple discontinued the use of PowerPC microprocessors in 2006. At WWDC 2005, Steve Jobs announced this transition, revealing that Mac OS X was always developed to run on both the Intel and PowerPC architectures. All new Macs now use x86 processors made by Intel, and some were renamed as a result. Intel-based Macs running OS X 10.6 and below (support has been discontinued since 10.7) can run pre-existing software developed for PowerPC using an emulator called Rosetta, although at noticeably slower speeds than native programs. However, the Classic environment is unavailable on the Intel architecture. Intel chips introduced the potential to run the Microsoft Windows operating system natively on Apple hardware, without emulation software such as Virtual PC. In March 2006, a group of hackers announced that they were able to run Windows XP on an Intel-based Mac. The group released their software as open source and has posted it for download on their website. On April 5, 2006, Apple announced the availability of the public beta of Boot Camp, software that allows owners of Intel-based Macs to install Windows XP on their machines; later versions added support for Windows Vista and Windows 7. Classic was discontinued in Mac OS X 10.5, and Boot Camp became a standard feature on Intel-based Macs. Q: When did Apple discontinue the use of PowerPC microprocessors?
answer:Apple discontinued the use of PowerPC microprocessors in 2006.
