Age of Dreams

() If you look back from 2013, in the history of the development of smartphones, you have to say a monster-like genius.

His name is Linus Torvalds, a Finn who created the Linux system at the age of 21. He is admired by countless fanatical designers and programmers. He is known as one of the top ten hackers in the United States, but he is The person who can see the sun the most among them - the US federal government dares to arrest several other hackers, but he never dares to say what about Linus, otherwise the designers and programmers across the United States will riot.

What?

You don't know what is a linux system?

In a few years, you may be dazzled by a term called android system.

This mobile phone and tablet operating system called "Android System" in Chinese is a commercial version developed based on Linux as the core.

In other words, without Linus, everyone in the future can only use Apple's ios or Nokia's Symbian.

Moreover, linux is not only as simple as the use of mobile phones and tablet computers, but its kernel is widely used in routers, computers, supercomputers, etc.

In the future, the top ten supercomputers with the fastest computing speed in the world will all use the Linux system without exception, which shows its technological leadership.

Of course, linux is an open source platform.

Linus' idol is Richard Stallman, the father of zi you software, so after he created linux, he authorized the general-purpose zi you to allow users to develop, design, and sell linux-based System products, but there is only one, as long as you are using a linux system. Then the product you develop based on this must also open source code, and it is free.

So, now everyone knows why the Android system is an open platform?

It's not that the Android system doesn't want to learn from ios to engage in monopoly, but it simply can't.

Because Linus has asked to do this since Linus, no matter how awesome Andy Robin, the father of Android, is, he has to follow the intention of the original source code creator and open up the Android system.

But it is also because of Linus's unselfish behavior. That's why so many designers and programmers worship him. Come and gather under the linux system platform, and constantly help improve and improve the functions of linux, so that linux becomes more and more perfect.

Through the occurrence of some things in later generations, Xiao Qi actually doesn't agree with open source code very much, what he wants is a closed operating system platform.

The debate on closedness and openness has been going on since the birth of electronic products, and neither side can convince the other.

You can say that the Android system will occupy 70% of the market share in 2012, but you cannot deny that the Apple mobile phone created by other people's ios system has occupied 70% of the total profit of the mobile phone market!

Exactly both ways. Xiao Qi doesn't know which one is better, but he knows that what he wants is a closed operating system platform.

In Xiao Qi's view, an open platform is a regression of society!

All the hardships of the designers are ruined by the open platform, and pirated software and games emerge in endlessly, enjoying the hard work of the designers and developers, but they don't need to give the designers and developers a penny!

This is to exhaust the cow to death. Don't let them eat grass!

Are the Chinese short of money?

It may have been scarce before, but after 2008, Huaguo's economy has developed to a high level. There are so many rich people, 90% of those who can afford iphones and ipads are not short of money at all!

What they lack is a kind of respect for knowledge and respect for invention and creation!

Chinese people who have been used to free things for a long time, what they lack is the mentality of using products openly!

If this mentality is not reversed, Huaguo's inventions and creations will definitely not be brilliant again, and a technological power will never be realized! !

Because only huge profits and a sense of honor can motivate developers. In order to make the technology more developed!

In the future, will Apple's closed platform have more talents, or will Android's open platform have more talents?

Just look at the profit ratio of the two aspects, then you can already know the answer!

Regardless of how much your Android machine sells, meager profits are the foundry of the electronics industry. Only the high-tech and imaginative Apple platform is the guarantee for a large sum of money!

But this doesn't mean that Xiao Qi can persuade Linus to authorize himself to develop Linux without disclosing his system source code.

Judging from the confrontation between Microsoft, Apple, Nokia and other giants and Linus later, it is almost an impossible task to persuade this super genius who can't pull back nine bulls.

The only thing Xiao Qi relies on is his own perception of the future, hoping to impress Linus from the reality of the future.

But whether he can succeed or not, the young man is not sure at all.

Xiao Qi, who read Linus's autobiography "just for fun" a few years later, naturally remembers that he does not live near Silicon Valley at this time, but lives in New York.

Because his eldest daughter is still learning to dance in a famous dance school in New York after school, for his daughter's interest, he chose to work online, and he only needs to send his research results to the osdl where he works every week.

Programmers abroad, even R\u0026D personnel, are very free, because they all need a free and relaxed atmosphere in order to better inspire inspiration. The most famous one is Google's office area, which is like a fun place. amusement park.

Like many research institutes in Huaguo, scientific researchers who sit rigidly in the office and are not allowed to leave work for eight hours a day, Xiao Qi really can't figure out how they can be inspired and come up with something good.

Therefore, in Xiao Qi's research laboratory located in the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, he asked everyone to go to the surrounding areas of Rongcheng to play around by themselves during the interval between completing a task. If you don't want to go too far, there are free movies in the laboratory building. Cards, fitness cards, ktv stored-value cards, etc., can be used at will, and you can go out with your wife, children, or even friends. All expenses are paid by the company.

This decision surprised and delighted everyone who came in, especially those graduate students and doctoral students who were accustomed to poverty, and happily shouted "Long live the little boss". My research career has brought wisps of warm sunshine.

In fact, Xiao Qi prepared more than these for his employees.

In the company headquarters next to Sichuan Master, there are more good things prepared. Xiao Qi has reason to believe that his own headquarters can definitely be called the number one in Asia.
