"I've been thinking a lot about why you would want to have a computer monitor embedded in the screen, because that's definitely not what a computer should be for today's audience. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Cameron looked at the computer screen, in fact, according to the development of the plot, when the hibernation pod is activated, the computer should automatically display the startup program. According to Cameron's idea, it is undoubtedly quite advanced to be able to use a hibernation pod in a spaceship and then use a computer program to automatically control the opening time.

But Alice vetoed it, and instead moved the computer installed in the "tin cabinet" to the wall, although Cameron did not bother with her in such a trivial matter, he has been pondering the reason for this change.

Alice smiled lightly: "Then you are coming to me to talk about this now, did you come up with the reason?"

Cameron nodded, although the amplitude was small, but it undoubtedly nodded: "A classic movie should be able to transcend the eras, and as a science fiction movie, no matter what story it tells, if it is really in line with the future in details, it will become a classic among the classics." This screen ......"

He pondered for a moment and said, "In the future, TVs and computer monitors will definitely get thinner and thinner, right?"

Alice really laughed now, not at all, of course, with a laugh of mockery, but a smile of admiration.

Back in correcting Cameron's original idea, she didn't bother to explain why, just saying that it would be cooler to have the monitor embedded in the wall. There was nothing wrong with this reason, so Cameron didn't raise any objections at the time, Alice thought that this matter would just pass, but who knew that he had been pondering it, and he had figured out some reasons?

"As early as the release of "The Terminator", there were comments in the industry that James Cameron was very interested in advanced technology and scientific frontiers, and was a typical supporter of the theory that technology benefits humanity. Now it seems that it really deserves its name, I just said one sentence at the time, you can make such advanced inferences, tsk~"

"Nonsense, how much have you seen Lao Tzu's ability, what is this. ”

After receiving the praise, Cameron pursed his lips disdainfully, and proudly folded his arms: "The future monitor will be thinner and thinner, but the current monitor is still very bulky, embedded in the wall to hide its thickness, aren't you just for this." ”

As he spoke, he tapped the monitor screen lightly: "Panasonic's TV...... Almost from the very beginning, the U.S. electrical appliance market was suppressed by Japan to the point that it was unable to fight back. Alice, just look, the TV, the refrigerator, the camera, even the Nissan and Toyota are still suppressing our General Motors! These damn guys have created a lot of unemployment in the country!"

"That...... James, you're knocking on an HP computer monitor, not a Panasonic TV......"

"I'll just knock it and say it, can you handle it?"

Cameron glared at Alice, but then, with a roll of his eyes, said, "That's right...... Alice, when will Microsoft's Windows system enter the Japanese market? In particular, just looking at these little Japanese investments in the United States, we should also make their money hard!"

Alice nodded, "Gates told me about it in July. But James, don't look at Microsoft is now a listed company, but the main market has always been Europe and the United States, after all, the Japanese version of the system is not so easy to develop. You're reading the speculation on Popular Electronics, right? What does it say?"

Cameron snorted and laughed: "It's qualified to say that 2.0 can maintain half of the sales of the 1.0 system, and then it's some nonsense, I'm disappointed in Microsoft, I'm disappointed in Gates, and some people question why you didn't take charge of development earlier, my dear Miss Microsoft Technical Consultant." ”

Wow, Cameron, what a resentful woman.

Alice couldn't help but be happy, but it's no wonder that people are full of resentment, Cameron is now Microsoft's largest retail shareholder.

It's been busy lately, and Alice bought the issue of "Popular Electronics" magazine once when it went on sale in July to see what people in the industry think of this "crystallization of the wisdom of all Microsoft employees".

The result is not surprising, this product based on the improvement and upgrading of the 1.0 system has not changed essentially, and the key is that because it is completely the struggle of Gates and its employees, without Alice's intervention, so the system interface is the same as the original historical development, it is too close to the system of Apple's Macintosh computer.

You know, although Alice is a shareholder of Microsoft, she herself has been in Los Angeles almost all the time, and she doesn't have the energy to keep an eye on Gates' every move. In summary, Jobs was kicked out of Apple in '85, and he handed it over to Microsoft long before that. A plane doesn't cost a few dollars, and Gates is completely like the original history, taking the time to go to Apple for a walk, and by the way, copying Macintosh's system~

So, while Apple hasn't taken immediate legal action, Microsoft's weak sales have caused the stock price to fall temporarily. After all, compared to the groundbreaking of 1.0, this one is too much of an imitation of Macintosh, and it is clear that Alice has tried to avoid being similar to Apple in the former, but Gates and others have gone back to the old way.

"It's hard to expect 2.0 to open up the Japanese market. ”

Alice decisively judged: "The DOS system is no problem, it is many years old, but it is attached to IBM after all." As for the release of the 1.0 system, Microsoft was not even a listed company, and it would be good to be able to buy goods in Europe, but 2.0 is so weak now, I really want those young men to develop the Japanese version......"

"Haha, then 3.0 should come out!"

Cameron laughed and took over the conversation, but then, his brow furrowed again: "However, I haven't used the 2.0 system yet, it's really that rubbish?"

Alice pouted and looked around. At this time, the crew members saw that the director and the company's small boss were chatting happily, so they were also happy to take time to rest for a while.

"It's not rubbish, but it's all in terms of performance. It's just that the traces of its imitation of Macintosh are too serious, on the one hand, it causes customers to be dissatisfied and feel that Gates is suspected of deceiving consumers. In addition, the performance has not improved much, so many people do not need to buy new ones, and many people already have Macintosh as a replacement, so sales are naturally low. ”

Cameron nodded, looked back and forth, and after a few moments, patted his head in frustration: "Damn, why did I forget to bring a copy of Popular Electronics." I said, girl, you're a shareholder and executive of Microsoft, have you figured out what to do next? I have a lot of stock in your company, don't let me lose it!"

"Don't worry, man, this is a blue chip, you just hold it, and you will make a fortune in the future. ”

Alice couldn't help but smile, patted Cameron on the shoulder and said, "There is nothing to think about planning this kind of thing next." We are in the computer industry, update is vitality, the 2.0 system just started to go on sale in July, and it will not be more than a while, regardless of its specific sales, we will start the development of 3.0. ”

can't help but be nervous, no matter how much he is a newcomer in the film art industry, director Wang, no matter how much he is the creator of a ten-fold box office film like "The Terminator", which has a tenfold yield of 70 or 80 million dollars, it is not a trivial matter that a stock brings 40 million US dollars. Microsoft's business prospects, he can't help but care.

"Then when 3.0 is redeveloped, they should put you in charge again, right?"

So, he said with suspicion: "If Microsoft goes downhill for two products in a row, unless that kid Gates becomes a complete idiot, he's going to do everything he can to change the situation, right?"

"Actually, as far as Microsoft's business is concerned, I'm not idle. ”

Alice said: "After the IBM incident, the company has been working hard to develop the NT system, HR has recruited hundreds of people, and I, the technical consultant, can receive emails continuously around the clock." The Internet operating system must focus on security, resulting in this project must be long-term, and it will not be able to produce results without three or two years, if Gates hands over the task of 3.0 to me again......"

She couldn't help but wonder, after all, looking at the time, it was September, and it had been two months since the release of 2.0. Soon, it will indeed be time for the 3.0 R&D team to be formed, and it will be time to think about the relevant issues.

Therefore, after shaking around the crew of "Alien II" as usual, Alice realized that she really needed to greatly accelerate the development of the Internet.

Well, yes, not complaining that you are going to be busy again, but just complaining that the 21st century has not yet arrived.

You know, for the era of the global village, it was really 100% office globalization. It's not too easy to lie down on the sunny beach of Miami and then use 100MB/s to send the data to the laboratory in Antarctica!

Oh yes, if it's really the Antarctic Laboratory, considering the problem of signal coverage time, the transmission rate must be gigabytes, not just 100 megabit broadband.

However, even if the 21st century has not yet arrived, it is still the 1980s.

Returning to Eton College, Alice couldn't help but think it was great that the school had a single dormitory for every student. If it was just an ordinary four-person dormitory, it would not be easy for her to start working. (To be continued.) )
