Age of Dreams

If you read back from 2013, in the history of the development of smart phones, you have to say a genius like a monster.

His name is Linus Torvalds. This Finn who created the NUX system at the age of 21 has the admiration of countless fanatical designers and programmers. He is known as one of the top ten hackers in the United States. The one who can see the sunshine most in it-the US federal government dares to be wanted by several other hackers, but it never dares to say what Linus is, otherwise designers and programmers across the United States will riot.

what?

You don’t know what the NUX system is?

Then in a few years, you may be dazzled by a term called D system.

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

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

Moreover, NUX is not only as simple as the use of mobile phones and tablets, routers, computers, supercomputers, etc., all adopt its core extensively.

In the future, the ten fastest supercomputers in the world will use the NUX system without exception, which shows its technological leadership.

Of course, NUX is an open source platform.

Linus’ idol is Richard Stallman, the father of free software, so after he created NUX, he allowed users to develop, design, and sell system products based on NUX through a universal free license. , But only the same, as long as you are using the NUX system. Then the product you develop based on this must also be open source code, and it is free.

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

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

Because Linus has been required to do this since Linus, no matter how awesome Andy Robin, the father of Android, he has to follow the original source code and open the Android system.

But it is precisely because of Linus's unselfish behavior. That's why so many designers and programmers come to admire him. Come and gather under the NUX system platform, and constantly help to improve and enhance the functions of NUX, so that NUX is more and more perfect.

Through the occurrence of some things in later generations, Xiao Qi actually disagrees with open source. What he wants is a closed operating system platform.

Regarding the controversy between closedness and openness, there have been constant disputes since the birth of electronic products. No one can convince either of them.

You can say that the Android system will occupy 70% of the market share in 2012, but you can't deny that the Apple mobile phones created by the S system of others account for 70% of the total mobile phone market profits!

Exactly these two ways. Xiao Qi didn't know which was better, but he knew that all he wanted was a closed operating system platform.

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

All the hardships of designers have been ruined by the open platform, and pirated software and games have emerged one after another. Enjoying the hard work of the designers and developers, they don't have to pay the designers and developers a penny at all!

This is to make the cows tired to death. Don't eat grass yet!

Are Chinese short of money?

It may have been scarce before, but after 2008, China's economy has developed to a high level. There are more wealthy people, and 90% of those who can afford NE and IPAD are not short of money at all!

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

What Chinese people who have been used to free stuff for a long time lacked is the mentality of using the product dignifiedly!

If this psychology is not reversed, China’s inventions and creations will certainly not be brilliant again, and a technologically powerful country will never be realized! !

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

Will there be more talents on Apple’s closed platform or Android’s open platform?

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

Regardless of how much your Android machine is sold, the meager profit is the foundry of the electronics industry. Only the high-tech and imaginative Apple platform is the guarantee of large sums of money!

But this does not mean that Xiao Qi can persuade Linus to authorize himself to develop NUX independently, and then not disclose his system source code.

Judging from the subsequent confrontations between Microsoft, Apple, Nokia and other giants and Linus, it is almost impossible to persuade this super genius who can't bring back the nine cows.

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

However, the teenager is not at all sure of whether he can succeed.

After reading Linus's autobiography, "The Musician is King" (RFUN), Xiao Qi naturally remembers that he is not living near Silicon Valley at this time, but in New York.

Because his eldest daughter was studying dancing at a famous dance school in New York while she was in school, he chose to work online for her daughter's interest, and only needed to send his research results to the incumbent OSDL every week.

Foreign programmers, even R&D personnel, are very free, because they all need a free and relaxing atmosphere to be better inspired. The most famous is the Google office area, which is like an amusement park for fun. .

Like many research institutes in China, the researchers who sit in the office stubbornly and are not allowed to leave work for less than 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 at the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China~www.wuxiaspot.com~, he allows everyone to complete a task and play around Rongcheng on their own. There are free movie cards, fitness cards, KTV stored-value cards, etc., which can be used at will. You can take your wife and children or even friends to play together. All expenses will be paid by the company.

This decision made everyone who came in very surprised and happy, especially those graduate students and doctoral students who were accustomed to poverty, who were happy to shout "Long live the little boss". Such a relaxed environment is really because of their boring procedures and Research career has brought a ray of warm sunshine.

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

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