Testimonials 805 Apple Doomsday "God of Technology" has been uploaded)

Gu Ao, who was entangled by Ye Wan, had to stay in China for a month or two more, temporarily handing over the business negotiations in the United States to his younger brother Ma Feng cuisine, delaying the time.
The wheel of history soon entered November 1992.
The voting results came out without any suspense. Gu Ao did not change any history, but just became a divine calculation and gained a lot of favors and invisible prestige.
These can be transformed into voice.
At the end of November, although the concept of "Internet" has not been formally proposed and the Internet has not been officially born, the early distribution of interests has been considered preliminary agreements.
Gu Ao got the quota for two root servers, and Motorola also got one as he wished, but he doesn't plan to use it for the time being - according to the IPV4 architecture, there can be up to 13 Internet root servers in the world, including one of the main root servers and 12 secondary root servers, but it does not need to be fully installed at the beginning.
So the reality is that by 1993, the world's first wave of 9 root servers would be set up, Gu Ao occupied 2, Americans occupied 5, and Brittanians and Japanese each accounted for one.
There are still 4 places that were only initially allocated, but they did not really set up in the first year. The quota that Motorola received is one of the four places that will be left in the future.
After all, in 1992, there was only the GSM wireless phone that was just tried for commercial use, and there was no GPRS data communication and GPRS test. If you tried for commercial use, you must not start until the Internet is fully born. Therefore, Motorola's quota can be considered as the place to occupy the position.
You don’t have the Internet, what about mobile Internet?
(GSM standard refers to the 2G voice communication network standard, including later text messages, which was mainly promoted by Europe. On the contrary, because of Motorola's Iridium project, the Americans slightly distorted the technology tree in the 2G era, and it was not until the 3G era that the newly emerging Qualcomm fully recovered the situation.
GPRS is based on the digital communication part of GSM, which transmits network data information. GSM itself is an analog signal. In other words, the 20KB network speed per second mobile phone used in China in 2004 is GPRS. It is very slow to open the web page.)
On the other hand, as 1992 is about to pass, the "first echelon of the global notebook computer industry" formed by Wang An Computer, Apple and IBM has also roughly laid its position through preliminary competition.
Wang'an accounts for 63% of the global laptop market share, Apple accounts for 26%, and IBM accounts for the remaining 11%.
This data is actually more beautiful in the third quarter - at that time, Wang An's single-quarter shipments accounted for 68% of the total time, 5 percentage points higher than the end of the year, while Apple was only 22% at that time. So, Apple's 26% share exceeded 4 points and caught up in the fourth quarter.
The biggest contribution here is Apple's tough genuine protection and anti-cracking, which has led to the gradual growth of Apple's third-party developer software library, which has brought about the increase.
However, since the radical bitter fruit has been planted, when the lawsuit is filed, it will sooner or later be spit out with capital and interest.
In December, people from EFF (Electronic Outpost Foundation) were as Gu Ao expected.
After Apple filed a smart property rights infringement lawsuit against certain consumers who brushed off Apple's operating systems on a large scale and switched to third-party systems.
EFF instantly joined forces with these consumers to conduct a massive counterclaim, accusing Jobs of infringing on consumers' control over their property.
Of course, don’t always look at the problem from the perspective of conspiracy theories. In fact, there are not necessarily people designing Apple in this matter. It is entirely possible that Jobs’ own tyrant mentality is caused by the work of his own tyrant mentality, and he is too arrogant and wants to establish his authority.
Later readers may not understand the principle of this case. In analogy, it is equivalent to some IPHONE consumers who flash the machine and remove the original system after buying Apple's goods. Apple is tough to think that you crack and flash the machine to use pirated copies, infringe on the rights and interests of Apple's cooperative software partners. For the sake of the status of the world and the confidence of developers, this kind of sign must be suppressed.
In analogy to the era of personal computers, this matter is actually more natural. Many people who have used MAC laptops should have been until, in the next few years, many domestic consumers who bought Apple computers were not used to the interface and operations of MAC-OS, so they specially formatted the genuine Apple system and installed WIN-XP or WIN-7.
This kind of thing is actually more natural than cracking IPHONE flashing. It is equivalent to saying that I think IOS is not easy to use, so I only buy your hardware, and then you give it to me for free with your system. I don’t want to use it. I would rather install an Android.
Of course, there are not many such things in the era of smartphones, mainly because Android does not have any advantages over IOS in resource management.
However, in the field of personal computers, WINDOWS obviously has many advantages over MAC-OS, at least user operating habits are a big advantage.
At the end of 1992, WINDOWS had not appeared yet, so even if someone flashed the Apple computer, they would not flash the WINDOWS operating system. Therefore, they actually flashed MS-DOS6.0.
If the CPUs are all based on X86-like architectures, this is really something that can be operated. Of course, in order to prevent flashing, Apple also has fine-tuning when looking for AMD to do CPU architectures, but some MS-DOS magic modifyers will also adapt to it, so that their magic modified DOS system can be installed with Apple's hardware.
This matter is completely legal.
The flashing of the machine is based on the basic principle that property rights are higher than debt rights, so you can only sue the seller, not the seller. And even if you sell, you can only sue the developer who provides the "MAC-OS cracked version" and cannot sue the developer who provides the "flashing MAC-0S into a DOS system".
Legally speaking, the cracked version is a crime of destroying computer information systems. If you brush a system that has nothing to do with you, it will not infringe on anyone. If you care about him, you will be overpowering.
People don’t want to use your system, so they don’t want to give it for free. This is a gifted right. If you are bad, don’t let anyone delete it?
But Jobs was too terrible and ended up in a trap.
In history, the lawsuit between Apple and the EFF Foundation in the 2010s was finally won by Apple in the California District Court.
Firstly, the local judges did not raise the matter so high and thought so deeply. Secondly, California's economy is a smart property rights economy, so California pays special attention to the protection of smart property rights.
The case ended up in the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals and was sentenced to Apple's complete defeat.
However, the current case is different from the case in the smartphone era in history, so the counterclaimer's reasons have become more sufficient.
It was about February 1993 that the California District Court made a first trial and directly retorted Apple, saying that Apple infringed on consumers' right to choose.
But Jobs was dissatisfied and continued to appeal, so it was Apple's turn to be the dissatisfied appellant at the level of the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals.
The conscience of heaven and earth, Gu Ao did not interfere with the American law at all, nor did anyone else. It was really clear that the law of heaven was so clear that Jobs was defeated again.
Not only did the original judgment be maintained, the Federal Circuit appeal also explained the principle of the application of the law, clarifying that "the reason why Apple lost was not only the violation of the consumer's right to choose mentioned in the first instance. It further undermined the foundation of the United States and destroyed the private property, one of the three basic principles that capital attention can exist, is sacred and inviolable, and violated the absolute domination of property owners over their own property."
A federal circuit appeal Dafa said excitedly in his verdict, "This is an attempt to trample on the sacred rights he had won for the sacred rights he had fought for when he was a man on Earth since Napoleon I, and it was an attempt to regress the level of civilization in human history to before 1804."
This is a very heavy sentence.
What's more, there are media who have a good relationship with Gu Ao to help build momentum.
Gu Ao was a ancestral guest at the time when CNN's "Larikin Live" program was launched. He has been on several occasions and has a friend with Ted Turner.
Through Your Excellency Heg and the recent Internet definition game, you are also called brothers and brothers with all the directors of "America Online".
Although Jobs is a computer player, Apple's current achievements in browsers are not as good as Wang'an's company, and other early penetration of Internet applications is not as good as Wang'an's company.
Therefore, the media that Gu Ao could attract naturally had to help promote.
At this time, Gu Ao stood up just right and seduced others in a low-key manner "naturally" to discover how Wang'an's company's behavior is. "Always regarding consumers' right to choose independently and their absolute control over property" as its first purpose.
Just like a few years ago, he donated more than 10 million US dollars to the domestic environmental protection foundation, but did not make a high-profile publicity at the first time. He insisted on waiting for the media to find out that his donation amount was 0.00%. He felt curious and came to ask the door to ask, and then revealed the truth.
The same is true this time.
Wang An never takes the initiative to promote his respect for consumers, and he relies entirely on his peers to highlight his problems.
The initial trial of California local governments was completed in February, and the federal circuit appealed about the summer vacation in 1993, so basically when the school season started in September of this year, Apple suffered a heavy blow, which shook more than half of its market share - it was not to say that Apple could fall down just by relying on public opinion wars and digging for black materials, but when it was normal competition, Apple's share was only about one-third of that of Wang An.
The second-in-command industry that only accounts for more than 20% of the industry has experienced such a major negative news and is being chased by the industry leader. This should have collapsed very quickly.
It is said that in the third quarter of 1993, Apple's share of the global personal computer market fell from one quarter to between 15% and 20%.
In the fourth quarter, it fell below the 15% warning line.
Finally, before Microsoft's WINDOWS circle competitors entered the notebook industry in 1994, Apple's share fell below the 10% mark, completely becoming a "non-the-multi-people" second-tier brand that was slightly worse than IBM, and no longer qualified to compete with Wang'an and WPS brands.
