Chapter 138: The gossip of the bigwigs
In response to the revelations, Bee Technology immediately launched a patch prohibiting the networking of various components, ostensibly respecting the user's freedom and allowing the software to be turned off and on at will.
But in fact, Atletico Madrid and general manager Zhang Yuexuan know very well that this patch is sent out to disgusting people, and the use of this patch is all disadvantages except for the purpose and advantages of freeing up upload bandwidth. After the upload is banned, each bee software will have more or less functional loss, cPu occupancy increases, and the efficiency decreases slightly.
This is because when software is banned from networking, software cannot be assisted by the computing power of the "swarm network", so it feels like it has changed from a motorcycle to a bicycle.
Of course, even if it is a reduced speed bike, the software itself only lacks some infrequently used functions compared to other similar software. Because it is designed with the swarm network in mind, most bee software has a lot of functions on the network. Some of the features are less commonly used, such as multi-language support, and some are features that can be easily leveraged by the Bee Swarm Network, such as downloading and remote preview and remote transcoding. After the network is disconnected and offline, none of these functions can be used, and the uI user interface is full of unusable red Xs.
In fact, the Bee software installed directly in the offline environment will automatically block the function options that do not work due to network disconnection, but Atletico Madrid pretended to be confused and completely forgot to provide this function in the network disconnection patch. Users can only block these red crosses by uninstalling the software and reinstalling it offline.
The reason for doing this is entirely the suggestion of Mr. Zhang Yuexuan, who feels that he should take the opportunity of this "conscious rectification" to sort out the product line of Bee and readjust the version plan roadmap of the 2007 version. And Atletico Madrid, after listening to his explanation, also nodded in agreement and chose to execute it immediately.
By analyzing the company's development process during this period and comparing the development status of other domestic and international peer enterprises in the same period, Bee Technology has established the development principle of "network first, small parts penetration".
"Network first" means that all of its software will be transformed into network software, further emphasizing the networking needs and networking functions. This is the development route, and the core is the two things that are mutually dependent on each other: the bee download center and the bee colony network.
"Small item penetration" is to maintain the brand image and brand awareness of bees, and can continue to develop some small software, small games, and even simple hardware that users may use in their daily lives. This part of the product does not pursue profits, but emphasizes low maintenance costs and high utilization rates.
After establishing this principle, the version roadmap of Bee's software was discussed and redone in turn. First of all, it is planned to launch a set of products such as "Bee All-round Security Combination 2007" at the beginning of 2007, including Bee Computer Manager 2007, Bee Security Center 2007, Bee Browser 2007, Bee Input Method 2007, and Bee Wisdom Center 2007. The reason why all the year numbers of "2007" are included is to indicate that it is for the new annual edition of 2007, and secondly, because the functions of many software have changed a lot, and it is easy to cause confusion by directly using the original version number rules, and it is also an industry practice to name software products with year numbers.
This computer manager is a merger of the original Bee Security and Yiqiu voice manager, inheriting the computer management function and speech synthesis/recognition function of the two respectively. The security-related rogue software is transferred to the new Bee security software.
The new Bee Security Center is an upgrade from the original Bee Antivirus, with new rogue software detection and firewall features.
The changes in the 2007 version of the bee input method are relatively small,Mainly transplant some of the mature and stable functions on the pioneer experience version,At the same time, the voice input function is added。
The Bee Wisdom Center is an upgraded version of the original Bee Download Center, with an enhanced software store feature where anyone can upload their own software and games, even
It is also possible to package and publish your own changes to the software, whether it is original software, ported games, or software customization packages like game mods, you can earn a certain amount of income through embedded ads and paid downloads.
There are two main categories of software personal customization package functions, one is the custom skin of all Bee 2007 software, and the other is the personal modified version of Bee Browser.
The new version of the browser has changed dramatically, because it uses the relationship of the open-source browser typesetting engine KhTmL, and it has become open-source software.
The webkit engine of safari, the default browser of Apple's macosX operating system, is upgraded and developed from the KhTmL typesetting engine, so it is also free and open-source software derived from the Linux/KDe desktop environment. Previously, there was no KhTmL-based web browser on the windows platform, and Bee Browser 2007 was the first one completely.
Although safari has also become open source software, Apple only releases the source code once a year, and the public KhTmL functionality and progress are far behind Apple's own webkit engine. So Bee Browser doesn't use KhTmL directly, but modifies it like Apple.
The hB engine used by Bee Browser retains the characteristics of fast opening of KhTmL web pages, and strengthens the compatibility with Ie non-standard coding in view of the reality that the mainstream web page coding in China is Ie environment, and at the same time adds security functions such as dangerous code isolation and early warning, automatic prompt of suspicious URLs.
Because of the relationship between becoming open source software, Bee Browser 2007 released most of the source code based on Lgnu rules, and at the same time launched a visual modification and customization tool similar to the game mod tool, which is convenient for users to customize their own browsers, and can be easily published to the Bee Wisdom Center at any time.
KDe is a 10-year-old Linux graphical interface and an open source software project with a large number of programmers around the world.
According to the gPL (gnu General Public License), any user can see the source code of the software that follows the gPL license and freely copy, distribute, modify and sell it.
At the same time, if the user uses a part of any software protected by gPL, then the software becomes gPL software and the source code must be released to the user along with the application.
In order to facilitate commercial use, GNU later introduced a more permissive Lgnu license, which allows private code to be used with free code in the form of dynamic link libraries, without having to be fully open source.
gnu is the abbreviation of gnu'snotunIX (gnu is not unIX), which means that this is not a unix system (in fact, participating gnu uses the unix interface and is compatible with unix), at that time the unix system was the first system, and Dos was still the first version.
Richardstallman publicly launched the GNU Project on September 27, 1983 with the goal of creating a completely free (note not free) operating system that anyone could obtain in its entirety and freely copy, distribute, modify, or sell.
Unix was the most popular commercial operating system in the early 80s of the last century, and unix was partially open source, because there was a closed-source part, which led to Richardstallman's opposition, and in order to "recreate the spirit of solidarity in the software industry", he launched the GNU project to create a completely free (note that it is not free, although a lot of free software is free) operating system, hence the gnu.
GNU opposes partially closed-source UNIX systems, but uses the open source parts of UNIX. The representative of the future closed-source operating system and the overlord of the personal computer operating system, Microsoft Corporation, is still just a small shrimp in the rivers and lakes at this time.
In 1981, Bill Gates' Microsoft spent $50,000 to buy out the rights to the first 86-Dos operating system based on Intel8086cPu developed by 24-year-old programmer Tim Paterson, and renamed it ms-DOS.
Because his mother was a director of IBm, Microsoft's MS-DOS was approved to be sold as a bundle of IBM computers. So Dos was not developed by Microsoft, nor was it developed by Bill Gates, and as a programmer, his masterpiece is actually the BasIc language.
Foreigners are not completely unsympathetic, regardless of the relationship between Chinese and foreign people will play a role in personal success, the difference is only a matter of proportion.
At the beginning, it embraced the two thick legs of IBm and Intel, and also laid the foundation for the rapid development of Microsoft. And before that, the king of the operating system was Unix, and the king of the personal computer was Apple.
The end result, of course, was that the completely closed-source Windows completely defeated the partially closed-source UNIX in the PC field, and the low-cost IBm-compatible machine (using the PC architecture developed by IBm, not necessarily produced by IBm, and more likely Compaq Computer, which was founded in 1982) won over the Apple computer, which focused on industrial design and user experience.
Although flip phones, cordless phones, tablets, and sports watches were manufactured as early as the 80s, Apple's imaginative products were not successful due to the lack of microcomputer integration.
Even though Apple was the first to launch a Macintosh computer with a graphics operating system and received a lot of attention and orders, it still could not save the company's decline. In order to save Apple, the board of directors forced Steve Jobs to step down and make way for Jobs, so he approached John Scully, vice president of PepsiCo, and told him, "Do you want to sell sugar water for the rest of your life, or do you want to change the world together?"
However, the first thing this gentleman who "sells sugar water" did after he became CEO of Apple was to kick Jobs out of Apple, and then sell Apple T-shirts, sunglasses, leather bags and even sailboats.
In the past ten years when Apple computers were selling clothes, Bill Gates copied Apple Mackintosh computers and launched the Windows system, but gradually developed and grew in the continuous struggle, and launched the first hugely successful version of Windows 3 in 1990.
Because Windows does not support Chinese, some domestic computer companies have made special hardware for it that supports Chinese - Hanka.
Today, with the acquisition of IBm's personal computer division, it has become the legendary computer company with the largest PC market share, and its predecessor, the Institute of Computing Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, is relying on R&D, manufacturing and sales of LX Hanka to develop and grow.
In addition, Shi Yuzhu, who made a fortune by relying on brain silver health care products, and entered the online game market in a high-profile manner this year, launched "Rabbit", also made a fortune by selling cheaper Hanka, and had assets of more than 100 million yuan at the peak. At that time, Yuzhu was full of ambition to build a building, and the original design of the building with only 38 floors was continuously heightened under the cordial care of leaders at all levels, and finally it was planned to invest 1.2 billion yuan to build a 70-story magnificent building with the highest height in the country, which was almost doubled.
However, while the building was still under construction, Microsoft released Windows 3 in 1994 with native support for Chinese. 2 system, Shi Yuzhu's Hanka business was hit hard, and he was preparing to make up for the lack of funds by selling off-the-plan properties, but the state began to macro-control the overheated economy, and the company went bankrupt and the 70-story building finally became an unfinished building.
However, cattle people are always cattle people, and Shi Yuzhu finally relied on health care products to survive, and counterattacked again.
Interestingly, the first to sell a graphics operating system was Apple Computer, but the first to develop a graphics operating system was the printer giant Xerox. In 1970, Xerox established the Palo Alto Research Center with the intention of structuring the office of the future and establishing Xerox's leadership. The center's scientists have lived up to their mission, developing graphical user interfaces, client/server architectures, and Ethernet and laser printing technologies that have laid the foundation, if not the foundation for the modern digital office.
Apple took Microsoft to federal court in 1988, alleging that Microsoft's graphical user interface design infringed Apple's patents on the Mac operating system. Soon after, however, Xerox took Apple to court, accusing Apple of stealing Xerox's ideas, and in 1994 the U.S. Supreme Court issued a final judgment dismissing the lawsuit against Apple and Xerox.
In fact, the relationship between Microsoft and Apple used to be very close, and in the early days, Microsoft was indeed a software company for microcomputers, like his name, Microsoft, and Microsoft also developed application software for Apple computers, and these developers later developed Windows operating system and office software. Some people even commented that "the useful things in Microsoft products are inherited from the Mac era, and those uncomfortable features are Microsoft original." ”
Apple Computer went to sue Microsoft, also because the company's business was getting worse and worse, Apple lost $1 billion in 1996, and its market share fell from 12% to 4%. In desperation, in 1997, the board of directors had to choose to buy neXT Computer Company, which was established after Jobs left, allowing Jobs to return to Apple.
After Jobs' return, he announced a high-profile reconciliation with Microsoft, Microsoft Office Mac computer, which is undoubtedly quite wise, announcing that Apple's stock price soared 33% on the same day, and suddenly climbed back from the death line.
Later, Jobs served as the interim CEO who did not get a salary or sign a contract, but monopolized the decision-making power, and drastically modified Apple's product line, and all R&D personnel were concentrated in four departments: professional desktops, consumer desktops, professional portable computers, and consumer portable computers, and a large number of other personnel were laid off, which made Apple come out of huge losses in a few months after Jobs' return, and returned to Apple computers in July, and achieved profitability in the fourth quarter of that year.
Compared with the huge changes in Apple computer in the 90s, people can't help but sigh that if Jobs did not return to Apple, but focused on his neXT computer or Pixar animation, maybe Apple Computer would have changed its name to Apple clothing or Apple design.
