Chapter 128: Eyes are red
The next day, Los Angeles International Airport.
Wozniak, a billionaire co-founder of Apple, was sitting in the VIP lounge talking on the phone.
Because the act of communicating with Jobs this time was of a certain confidential nature, he did not bring his subordinates.
Wait for Steve?? After Jobs' specific request was communicated to the current Apple management, Wozniak hung up.
Then, he played with the phone that Steve Jobs had given him.
Truth be told, the portable music player that Steve Jobs proposed was technically not difficult, and many technicians could figure it out in the lab.
But the crux of the problem lies in music copyright.
In order to promote its electronic products, Sony spared no expense to acquire the famous and famous entertainment group Columbia.
But because MD is easy to rip, this thing is still boycotted by many singers.
As for not first launching the so-called "audiobook" with the music scene with huge interests?
In Wozniak's heart, he didn't agree very much.
Although, both listening to music and reading are a common form of entertainment.
But the music is mainly about quickly eliciting emotional resonance, and it is more inclined to tell a complete story.
Wozniak could not have imagined that people who read "The Red and the Black" and "Notre Dame de Paris" would have violent emotional fluctuations in a short period of time.
Without this core, it is completely impossible to attract the attention of young people who like to listen to rock and hip-hop.
Look at the time, there is still more than an hour before takeoff.
Wozniak picked up the phone, which was more akin to a small computer, and observed it casually.
After checking the functions of text messages, faxes, and emails one by one, he had to admit that Nokia was really ingenious in the design of 2G mobile phones.
Then, he opened the supposedly online readable applet.
"The SEALs are coming home...
Why are you pushing me?"
Wozniak rubbed his temples and felt that his IQ had taken a 10,000-point critical hit in an instant.
He sighed, "What the hell is this!" as he checked the time.
I have to say that Einstein's theory of relativity about time is really extremely correct.
Only five minutes had passed on the watch.
Wozniak clicked the back button to continue looking at the catalog.
At the same time, the feasibility of buying a private jet is also in mind.
"Huh, sci-fi?"
As a loyal fan of "Star Wars" and "Star Trek", he instantly remembered how he saw these classics when he was a child and was completely shocked.
Wozniak clicked into the directory.
There is only one work called "Abnormal Creature Observations".
"Is it similar to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy?"
But soon, he knew he was wrong.
"The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" is the story of the protagonists who come to other planets and discover many strange creatures.
And this "Abnormal Creature Experience" is the protagonists themselves are strange.
He watched the vampire who could be the ultimate villain in a Hollywood blockbuster turn into a destitute, garlic-loving female homeless man.
And the irascible and vicious werewolf has actually become a somewhat cute husky.
I have to say that there is a strange sense of joy to this contrast.
And this also tempted Wozniak to continue reading.
"Sir, it's time to board. ”
Wozniak raised his head a little confused, his eyes widened, and looked at the ground staff who had come to warn.
"Sir, your eyes look red, is there something uncomfortable?" asked the ground staff as he looked at the sign in the VIP room.
"Oh, nothing. Wozniak stood up and muttered, "The screen of the phone seems to be a little small." ”
Soon, under the guidance of the staff, he completed the formalities and boarded the plane.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the plane is about to take off, please turn off your electronic devices. ”
"These two young ladies, please turn off your phones. ”
"Right now, right away. ”
Wozniak looked at it and it turned out to be two well-known Hollywood actresses.
And they who pursue the latest and most fashionable are naturally holding the most expensive Nokia 2G mobile phone on the market.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please turn off your phones. The stewardess reminded again.
"Oh. The two looked at the other people in the cabin and reluctantly pressed the shutdown button.
Then they got together.
Wozniak only heard: "Annie?? Pauline is so handsome!", "It turns out that this is the history of Queen Elizabeth!"
Sure enough, most of these Hollywood actresses yearn for decaying medieval Europe and for aristocratic life.
Just like Grace Kelly in the Golden Age.
Wozniak mocked faintly in his heart, and at the same time closed his eyes, trying to relieve the slight fatigue.
"Miss flight attendant, please come over for a moment. One of the actresses began to get restless again.
"Well, that's what I don't like about Los Angeles. Wozniak muttered to himself.
"Excuse me, are there any eye drops on the plane? My eyes are a little sour. ”
"Yes, please wait. The flight attendant walked away briskly and turned back.
"Okay, much more comfortable, thank you. ”
Hearing this, Wozniak's heart moved slightly.
He immediately rang the summoning bell, hoping to get a bottle of eye drops as well.
But what is puzzling is that the bell to summon the flight attendant suddenly became dense.
"Miss flight attendant, please bring me a bottle of eye drops too. ”
Wozniak looked at the others in the first class cabin in amazement, and noticed that several of them had red eyes.
And these people all have a Nokia 9000 at hand.
Wozniak is not alone in discovering this.
The people who asked for eye drops were stunned for a moment, and then they looked at each other.
At this time, I don't know who it was, let out a low chuckle.
Wozniak rubbed his eyes as well and chuckled softly.
"The weight of the book is a bit too much, so it's not suitable as luggage. Someone next to him was trying to explain something.
"Indeed, as a time-consuming tool, the online reading function of Nokia mobile phones is still very qualified. Someone replied.
At this time, the flight attendants had already distributed eye drops to passengers in need one by one.
After these people finished taking eye drops, they started talking again because of a common topic.
But when the atmosphere of the first-class cabin was unprecedentedly harmonious, the purser was a little panicked.
She looked at the list of medications on the plane and was surprised to find that the eye drops had run out.
"What are the distinguishing characteristics of these passengers who ask for eye drops?" the purser asked the first-class flight attendant.
"My eyes are red, and I rub them from time to time. The flight attendant replied as he recalled.
The purser nodded with a serious expression, and then walked into the cab.
"Captain, I suspect there is a possibility of a pink eye outbreak on the plane. ”
