Every technical insight Gu Ao said about how to prepare for the future notebook era is absolutely insightful.

If Wang An and Tiankun’s technical team can break through the inherent technical prejudice, calm down and improve user experience, and carefully study humanized design, there will definitely be great potential in the future.

For example, the problem that Gu Ao mentioned earlier, "The current computer operating system and screen output resolution system are only a five to four square screen ratio, combined with CRT monitors." The layman may not seem like nothing, but when he really wants to develop a laptop computer, he will find that it is all problems.

When Gu Ao was in elementary school, he saw the first laptop computer launched by IBM around 1992. The thing used a lot of black technology at that time, but in fact he experienced Shishabi's design.

Because IBM is not Microsoft, nor Apple. IBM itself does not have an operating system. In 1992, the operating systems that Microsoft released on the market still had only a screen resolution of 5 to 4. IBM could only use hardware to cater to the software and developed a "foldable keyboard notebook computer".

The shape of this notebook is 5 to 4 in aspect ratio, and looks square and not as narrow as that of later notebooks.

However, because the length, width and size ratio of the keyboard are basically fixed, even if the numeric keypad next to it is removed, the rest of the keys are arranged as compact as possible, and the length of a keyboard is at least two to three times the width.

The bottom cover size of the keyboard installed on the laptop computer is the same as the cover of the screen. IBM really had no choice but to make a spliced ​​foldable keyboard to equip its world's first laptop computer.

When this computer is combined, the left and right keyboards will be layered into two sections by the lifting brackets, overlapping and closing. When the screen is opened, the keyboard bracket linked to the screen axis will be reopened to put the keyboard together - so users will see that when the computer is opened, the cover below suddenly becomes twice as wide as the closed state, which is the effect of keyboard expansion.

Later generations of people born in the 1990s and 2000s probably had never seen this thing. Many laymen at most saw archaeological videos on Douyin, and commented and exclaimed, "IBM was really a star-studded black technology at that time."

This statement is very ignorant. This is not a black technology, it is clearly just a mess.

The field of design is less, so you can do things that are simple to do by subtraction, so don’t do addition. You can kill so many useless fancy things, but you’re not knocking them down with one punch.

In the future, Apple will be easier to deal with this issue because Apple's positioning is different from IBM. They have their own self-developed operating system, so it is easy to turn around.

The Microsoft systems on the market do not have broadband resolution output, so Apple just writes one on MAC-OS itself. You can do whatever you want to scale widescreen, which is cheap and easy.

Therefore, in the mid-to-early 1990s, Apple's laptops were much more humane than IBM's experience. The early versions were much thinner, and they looked wide and flat, more like laptops than suitcases, and the appearance was cool.

Microsoft will not be able to reach the WIN95 era, and there are too many hardware vendors in the market who want to make laptops, so they will slowly provide support for widescreen resolution at the system level. After all, Microsoft is only serving the public. When a demand is not universal enough, open system vendors will rarely respond.

It is easy for small boats to turn around companies. If you fight for big-road goods companies, you will have no future in fighting for the mainstream market. You must always compete for niche and high-end and top elite users to respond to their pain points as quickly as possible.

...

The resolution is just a detail, and the heat dissipation design that combines the system and hardware is just a detail. Such details cannot be solved entirely by Gu Ao's imagination. He just told some common problems in later generations to inspire.

(Heat dissipation is not only a problem of structural design, but also needs to be added to the system software-level monitoring tools, just like the later 360 Hardware Assistant or Master Lu. For example, add a CPU temperature monitoring, and once the temperature is too high, the main frequency of the calculation will be reduced, and performance will be temporarily sacrificed. There are many similar protective system-level algorithms.

Before the emergence of laptop computers, computer operating systems rarely consider software algorithms in this area, because desktop heat dissipation is basically enough. Therefore, if Wang An makes technical verification and reserves in this area in advance before the emergence of the laptop category, he will be able to compete with his peers for a design cycle.)

However, just these tips are enough to refresh your understanding of the project staff under your rank.

All the technical leaders who were originally complacent about the success of the WPS computer project became humble again in front of the boss.

"When we come back during the Christmas holiday, we will arrange the R&D department to start making reserves for new technologies and conduct a comprehensive demonstration and investigation." John Chambers expressed his sincerely, full of energy.

"Tiankun will not lag behind. We will pay attention to the development of portable game consoles, and mention the degree of being parallel to the console, fully considering the invasion threat of computer games to the console game market in the next few years." This is what Tiankun President Shulhof meant.

The annual luncheon ended in a united atmosphere.

Gu Ao, carrying a cup of black tea, got up and left the banquet hall, went to the lounge to take a nap, and then prepared to leave.

Schulhof followed, half showing his merits and half showing his attentive conversation.

"Boss, I heard that you... have a good chat with Mr. Watson and IBM executives. However, I heard from some people in IBM that you were in Connecticut two days before the voting date...

In fact, the probability of MR.VP becoming a regular at that time was already extremely high. If you have a good relationship with him, it would be beneficial for us to obtain more relaxed supervision at least in the next four years. Otherwise, I think Wang An was not sure that if Apple was killed within these four years, Apple would try hard to find a way to save life. If there is another monopoly competition lawsuit accusing the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain, it will be a little troublesome. This time you can get 'equitable national treatment', and you have a good personal relationship with Mr. Li Gen, which is very related, and you won't know."

Gu Ao raised his eyebrows and slowly lowered the teacup: "Mickey, do you want to teach me how to do things?"

Schulhof quickly lowered his head: "I dare not, I am considering the company."

Gu Ao smiled and said, "Mickey, there is a truth. You may not notice it, but I believe that as long as I say it, you will definitely understand it.

The American law and the precise structure of the Federation are established in every era when solving every problem. At the beginning of this organization, it is all about striving for what the master wants him to do when he creates him. Just like a living body, forced by the environment to evolve a new organ, which initially solves the imminent environmental needs.

However, the instinct of single-cell organisms is to split and reproduce. Even if they become higher organisms, the division of labor occurs, and the reproduction function is monopolized by special germ cells. The brain tells other functional organs: You are enough to divide and reproduce with limited amounts, and it is not allowed to exceed the amount required by the organ.

But, can this be controlled? There are always unexpected accidents, organs, tissues, and their own interests. Why do I just work and leave the fun of reproduction to Jill?

Then, they become cancer cells, reproduction selfishly, eternally, and endlessly. Even if the chromosomal telomeres have shortened to the point where they have changed the original structure of DNA and lost the end information, they will reproduction for one generation more and more mutated, and they will be willing to do so.

In people, this is cancer cells, in enterprises, this is the disease of raising self-respecting companies. In the United States, or raising self-respecting companies, such as the NSA, CIA, and FBI. Who doesn’t want to describe their role more important? Who doesn’t want more staffing, budget allocation, looser action permissions, and greater jurisdiction?

When their owners created this institution, they all tried to deal with the special crisis faced by the country. However, after Roosevelt's death, the FBI became cancer cells; after Eisenhao's death, the CIA also became cancer cells... but it still attacked the virus and its own functions were still there.

Edgar Hoover was able to be the director of the FBI for 48 years, with eight presidents and 16 FA ministers. He has been able to be the director of the department until he had a heart attack on duty and died on duty. It can still make President Nixon read the obituary with a "suspended breath" with a "suspended breath" feeling. What is it?

The cancer cells like the most is the stubborn and self-confident MR.P. At present, I think he will raise the largest groups of cancer cells in American history. This kind of person will sooner or later be retaliated by the mess, so what if you jump around for four years?”

As for the theory Gu Ao talked about when he was chatting with Professor Song Yimin of Harvard's Fairbank Research Center last year, he would not take it out and tell Schulhof. It was unnecessary. He was not a sinologist and could not understand it.

As the only guy in the United States who was driven away after only four years since 1980, Gu Ao did not want to have any relationship with the other party.

Historically, Emperor Jing of Han was said to be the one who wanted to inherit Nai's father's route.

Fortunately, his father only reduced the tax to 15th one, changed the foot of his feet to 500, and changed the nose to 300. At least, he left some room for the reduction to prove that he was more kind than his father, and he could change the tax to 1th one, 300, and 200, and 200.

But if Emperor Wen of Han who directly "free land tax forever" would he be fooled by Emperor Jing of Han? Li Gen's suppression of the Lucians has reached the same level as the "free land tax forever". People who want to use the banner of "Management of Wen and Jing" will take another step, and maybe the gift package will be opened.

Gu Ao didn't say anything more, just left a back, let Shulhoff slowly reflect on his imagination.

The next day he took his own plane and returned to China, and began to talk about basic materials investments for technical reserves for laptops and portable game consoles.

Whether it is LCD and other semiconductor optoelectronics or rechargeable lithium battery technology, it requires years of investment to gradually see long-term business profits. As long as it is related to materials science, it is a heavy asset that is cheated and has few shortcuts and is not suitable for Gu Ao to operate personally, so he can only continue to cultivate partners.
