Chapter 0947 Wall Street is not happy
...
Just at noon, the richest man made a metaphor at the Zheru Spring Developer Conference, "If you want to urinate in the swimming pool, please don't do this on the diving board", and then appeared on the news program of the American TV network, and even had a quick hand and footsteps, improvised and vivid comics.
At night, the powerful reporters got this live video again and quickly sent it to the TV station, becoming the most important source of jokes.
Not surprisingly, most media view this matter from an entertainment perspective.
Silicon Valley is a place full of myths and desirable. The US economy has experienced two severe recessions since the early 1980s to the present, but Silicon Valley has been in a state of rapid growth, and dazzling entrepreneurs have emerged, all of which are enviable young rich people.
Unlike people's natural perception, although Silicon Valley relies on technology to make a living, it does not lack a sense of humor, literary style, and bloody conflict here.
Look, the richest man is really going to hurt others, how cruel it is!
It is said that Larry Ellison was so angry that he broke a valuable golf club.
...
Tang Huancai didn't have time to pay attention to the media gossip. The content of this year's Philosophical and Reason Spring Developer Conference is indeed unprecedentedly rich and important, and he also put all his energy into this for the next few days.
First of all, in the face of using concept hype to stir up trouble, Tang Huan wanted to guide the p represented by Fangyuan personal computers to show stronger functions and stimulate greater demand. It will compare the thin client as a selling point to a pitfall that does not feel good to users.
This kind of high-level guidance is not as simple as rushing forward regardless of personal strength. Instead, it requires mobilizing many links in the entire industry and coordinating with each other to achieve results. The time interval for personal computer updates is gradually elongated, which reflects the complexity here.
In the original time and space, Apple computers, a branch that cannot be ignored, has always been suppressed by ib-p compatible machines. One of the important reasons is that its products must either be advanced in design stage, but they lag behind the market when they are launched; or the product steps are too big, it will be difficult to obtain enough application software to support the new platform.
Therefore, it is not surprising that hardware and software are always in a state of long legs and short legs, and they cannot enter a tacit cooperation between each other. Apple computers can never run!
Now, Tang Huan is preparing to use entertainment applications, to be more precise, the 3D acceleration function, to create a deep impression on the general public that P development will gradually improve.
With the deepening of 3D acceleration application, the data throughput of graphics card components is getting larger and larger.
The current fifth-generation square circumference personal computer uses a bus that is 32-bit transmission channel and a mature specification of clock frequency of 33.33z, and the data throughput that can be achieved is 33.33zx32bit÷8=133b/.
This "water pipe" is not enough for 3D acceleration graphics cards.
To this end, Zheru and Fangyuan jointly launched a special new standard acceleration graphics interface for 3D acceleration graphics cards, namely GP.
The first versions of it were launched were gp_1 and gp_2, and the data throughput capabilities increased by 2 times and 4 times respectively, that is, 266b/ and 533b/. According to the plan, gp_4 and gp_8, which doubled the data throughput capabilities of the previous generation, will be launched in the future, which is enough to allow 3D acceleration graphics cards to run happily for several years.
This is a new specification introduced in hardware, and the software also requires the operating system driver support. In addition, the most important thing is that the multimedia programming interface pel has also been updated.
Over the years, the Down IIT Kingdom has always enjoyed a high reputation in the industry, respected and respected. It is not overwhelming commercial means, but real, complete technological innovations, as soon as they come up with new things, followers can immediately see clearly and submit their trust in obedience.
The IT circle is so competitive, and mutual attacks are common, but except for the IB that had been in trouble for a while, no one dares to accuse the Down I-King Kingdom of plagiarism and they are followers.
This time, the GP introduction is not simply putting out a few comparison photos, but rather taking out a prototype for an intuitive demonstration.
Tang Huan ran the racing game "Need for Speed" and the real-time strategy game "Fengshen" on two Fangyuan personal computer prototypes to illustrate the improvement of data throughput brought by GP.
The talk was so exciting that the richest man couldn't help but squirt half of the special effects of "Fengshen" with full-on effects.
In recent years, Tang Huan has rarely personally consulted a specific project, but "The Investiture of the Gods" is an exception, so it compares the same type of "Dune 2" and "Warcraft: Humans and Orcs" almost incorrectly.
The richest man chose the Academic Cult camp, and the computer randomly selected the Intercept Cult camp. Then, he only used one wave of attacks and hit his headquarters.
Looking at the gorgeous spells released by the opponent on the screen, Tang Huan shrugged in annoyance, "This makes me feel so bad that the remaining technical themes are left. Please ask other colleagues to introduce them."
So, amid the lively shouting, Tang It ended the schedule of the zheru spring developer conference that day.
...
Of course, in the context of the influx of Internet elements, the browser dispute is a key point.
Netscape's flagship product etpe_vigtr is a suite that includes browsers, email sending and receiving clients, website servers, and website development tools.
In terms of browser promotion, Netscape adopts the free form of sharing software, but other components of the suite must be charged in different versions, ranging from thousands to tens of thousands of dollars. Otherwise, where will the profit point of attracting investors come from!
Zheru Software Company naturally cannot be behind in terms of technology. At this conference, it grandly launched the website development tool Three Musketeers Drever,irer,.
Among them, irer is a bitmap and vector graphics editing software, with functions similar to Dbe's ptp. The difference is that it has a more focused and thoughtful design for web artists, such as conveniently adding hot spots.
dreever is a comprehensive website development software. Users can easily edit tl through the "what you see is what you get" interface it has, add scripting language functions like plript, and can use the built-in pletr browser engine to render web pages and preview in real time at any time.
Like Zeru's programming tool zero_develepet_, Drever can use color, highlighting and other methods to annotate the syntax of tl and plript to prompt developers for errors at any time.
In the process of introducing Drever, Tang Huan severely criticized some browser developers without naming, did not follow the existing TL specifications, and brutally added the TL syntax, so that the number of TL tags exceeded 100 in just over a year, seriously undermining the simplicity and beauty of the TL specifications, and making the same web page unable to compatiblely display the same effect on different browsers.
Finally, Tang Huan said sternly: "The atmosphere of the Internet is free, but it must also follow recognized behavioral norms. If a company goes further and further on the wrong path, Zheru Software Company will consider using more direct legal means."
...
There are criticisms from the richest man of the Philosophical Developer Conference every day, although they do not name the name, everyone understands who they are talking about.
The reason why I am so subtle is not that I am afraid of anything, but that I don’t want to give it the opportunity to increase its popularity.
Just like the e-commerce era in time and space, media people often use "Taobao" and "Taodong" to refer to the most famous e-commerce companies to avoid suspicion of advertising.
Now, the criticism of the richest man actually reflects his disgust.
After a comprehensive analysis of the media that is already very capable of exaggerating, the complex entanglement of interests in Silicon Valley can be described as vividly in front of the general public.
...
When displaying this multimedia creation tool, including vector animation, Tang Huan directly took out two typical application examples of Zheru Software Company's "i Strategy" advertisements and card games.
The two undoubtedly gave the Internet business model that is still in the exploration stage, and the latter also showed in terms of interactivity that it is not that easy for JV to come to the browser platform to grab territory!
If these methods of counterattacking competitors are all existing technologies of Zheru Software Company, then the programming language # introduced by Tang Huan later is undoubtedly a recruit.
This programming language that was originally only legendary in the laboratory has the characteristics of automatic memory allocation and recycling, and the source code is compiled into intermediate code for execution in virtual machines, which was immediately interpreted as directed to jv.
During the introduction of #, Tang Huan proudly concluded: "It is not difficult to see from the tangible results we showed on the spot that we have been exploring cross-platform programming languages that are more advanced than languages, we have been doing it for many years."
"Rite_e, r_yere is written once and run everywhere, probably the wish of all programmers."
"But the reality is that the differences brought by different hardware platforms and software systems are beyond our imagination to use a small intermediate code to execute a virtual machine to cover up all differences, which is extremely difficult. This leads to a joke circulating inside us, that is, rite_e, debg_everyere compiles at one time, debg everywhere."
"I think no one should be too questioning the experience and feelings of Zheru Software Company. After all, we have well-known outstanding achievements in virtual machines. In the server field, Zheru Software Virtual Machine Products have perfectly solved a large number of compatibility issues."
"But we still feel that it is very necessary to launch # at this point in time."
"Everyone should have experienced how difficult it is to communicate between processes on the same computer; then the complexity of process calls within the Internet range that spans the boundaries of the computer, is self-evident."
"The reason # is called the Internet programming language is because it natively supports distributed application architecture like the Internet."
"And in this, we have to introduce the eteible_rp_lgge extensible markup language, that is, l, to support serial data flow between processes within the Internet-wide range."
"I think the launch of # will allow all developers to notice how unique the distributed application architecture on the Internet is, and it also works together to solve some difficult problems encountered."
...
The Philosopher Spring Developer Conference, which has unprecedentedly rich content, was not only linked to the smoke of gunpowder in Silicon Valley by entertainment media, but also interpreted by professional media as a technical mobilization event that fully embraces the Internet.
It is not an exaggeration at all. Microsoft, which has been launched for two months, has become a marginal role, which is in a strong contrast to the previous positive popularity brought about by aggressiveness in operating systems, office software, and programming and development tools.
Gates was anxious about this, but to make things worse, Steve Ballmer hurriedly brought a news that Microsoft was too focused on operating systems and office software, which led to a slow response to the Internet boom. Goldman Sachs lowered Microsoft's stock evaluation from "buy" to "hold", and Microsoft's stock price fell accordingly.
"If these greedy guys are unhappy, they will be like this." Gates slapped the table in anger.
It can be said that Microsoft has been favored by Wall Street since its launch.
One of the main reasons is that Microsoft's financial statements are very skillful, and they are always several cents higher than expected returns, making them suitable for speculation.
But Wall Street is ruthless when it turns into a face. It can easily adjust the rating, which makes Microsoft frightened.
After Gates got angry, he was unable to resist and could only run to the development department in a hurry and roared at the engineers under his command.
Chapter completed!
