Rebirth of the Tech Madman

...

I have to say that Mr. Richest made a complaint on his blog, causing Sun Microsystems’ programming language Java to fall into a state of disdain, which reflects to some extent the combination of public figure star effect and the Internet. What a powerful influence the post-we media has.

The furious Sun Microsystems, of course, would not think that Tang Huan just made a casual mistake, and insisted that it was a direct slander with sinister intentions.

As for the basis, it is naturally deduced from the dark losses suffered earlier.

You must know that when the noise alliance against Zheru Software was at its most powerful, Sun Microsystems agreed to sell the authorization of Java to Zheru Software in order to rapidly expand the scope of use of this new Internet language.

As a result, first of all, Netscape overturned the vinegar jar and canceled the plan to use java to develop a new browser; The server program hotjava has been perfected and no longer depends on Netscape.

This phenomenon of turning against each other because of changes in interests reflects how seemingly loose the so-called noise alliance is, and when Oracle's own foundation, that is, the database product has a big problem and has no time to take care of NC, It basically collapsed.

And the best explanation for this ending is that Netscape was acquired by Oracle like a tattered one.

A dead fellow Taoist will never die a poor Taoist.

Sun Microsystems will not be saddened by Netscape's short-lived appearance. The rules of the game in the market have always been like this.

However, when Zheru Software Company presented its own version of the Java virtual machine and corresponding programming tools at the Zheru Spring Developers Conference this year, Sun Microsystems suddenly realized that it might have been fooled.

First of all, Zheru Software's version of java, no matter whether it is enhanced or improved, has changed a bit, and its implementation is so excellent that it can't compare with the original creator of Sun Microsystems.

Secondly, in terms of programming development, in order to adapt to the changes brought about by the Internet, Zheru Software Company has launched three development environments: enterprise platform, standard platform, and mobile platform, and its own new generation of Internet programming language C# has naturally become main character.

At the same time, the optimized java has actually been integrated into the system of Zheru Software and has become the little brother of c#.

After pondering over Weilai, how could Sun Microsystems tolerate his child's surname change, so he became angry and sued Zheru Software Company to the District Court of San Jose, Silicon Valley, on the grounds of violating the original licensing agreement. At present, it can be said that the monopoly case of the United States of America v. Zheru Software Co., Ltd. is a small one and a big one.

Just when this kind of dispute is unclear, Mr. the richest man, who is equivalent to the big V of the Internet a few years later in the original time and space, suddenly criticizes the name java in a disguised form, and triggers a petition to change the name, which is tantamount to fire. Topped with oil.

The despondent Sun Microsystems simply took this incident as an opportunity to discover new evidence and incidentally sued Tang Huan to the court in San Jose.

Originally, the richest man who returned to the United States just had a meeting with his personal lawyer and the company's legal counsel to discuss how to get rid of this slobbering lawsuit.

As a result, David Boyce, the chief lawyer of Zheru Software's legal team, who was in charge of responding to the United States of America v. Zheru Software Company's monopoly case, volunteered to participate.

At the meeting, David Boyce suggested very seriously: Don, although this controversial incident will not have any actual impact on you, it also illustrates a problem. That is, your words and deeds are It's where the focus is, especially at this delicate and critical stage of the situation.

So, when you speak in public, including blogging on the Internet,

Caution must be exercised, and it may even be necessary to seek the advice of professionals, including public relations consultants.

Tang Huan was not dissatisfied with being hindered by the constraints planned by David Boyce like most other high-ranking people.

He asked comprehensibly, You mean that my inappropriate words may be collected as evidence in court by those who want to, and brought to the court to support the conviction?

Don is the happiest client I have communicated with in my career as a lawyer! David Boyce nodded happily, The dispute between Zheru Software and Sun Microsystems in the San Jose District Court, compared to Zheru The game between Rusoft and the U.S. Department of Justice, as well as 20 federal states in the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, is not worth mentioning.

In a few days, the senior staff of Zheru Software, including you, will testify in court at the request of the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia.

At that time, every word you say may be analyzed by the lawyers of the Ministry of Justice to launch an attack.

It turns out that David came here on a special trip to give me advice on how to speak at the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. The richest man humbly asked, So, what principles should I adopt?

It's easy to say. David Boyce had a sly gleam in his eyes, When answering the opposing lawyer's question, try to use vague content such as 'not clear' and 'forgotten'; even if they Don't play by the other side's rules when you're forced to choose between 'yes' and 'no'.

Tang Huan couldn't help laughing when he heard this, If I pretend to be so confused, can the prosecutors of the Ministry of Justice and the judges in charge of hearing the case agree?

This is your power! David Boyce explained with confidence: In any case, if you do this, it is better than unconsciously falling into the language trap that the other party does not know how long it has been carefully designed. It is countless times stronger!

Okay. The richest man nodded kindly, At that time, I will try my best to be vague in court, so as not to be true. As for the debate, I will leave it to professionals like you to deal with it.

...

When Tang Huan personally dealt with Sun Microsystems' spat, it was no big deal.

After all, here in the United States, it's not even the right to speak freely. The richest man himself has been caught with a gun and a stick to make irresponsible remarks, and there are countless.

The most ironic thing is that as it is regarded as entertainment news, the hype is getting stronger and stronger, and the reputation of java has really been implicated.

According to a popular survey conducted by Yahoo on the homepage of the website Should Java be renamed? Nearly 40% of the visitors voted for Change early and good early, and more than one-third of the visitors voted for It's unnecessary. It's about my egg ~ matter.

If the voting gap between the first two is very close, which does not explain any problems, then the next vote on what name should be changed is intriguing.

Some good people have thought of several options for new names for java, and Yahoo has selected the four most popular ones, namely j# language, j++ language, j language, j+ language, and listed them for visitors to choose.

Facts have proved that bad tastes can also break out in groups, j# gets the most votes, and java imitates people more and more deeply.

After Sun Microsystems let go of its self-esteem, it carefully studied these public opinions, and suddenly realized: It seems, it seems that the name j# is really good. Disgusting each other.

Ever since, Sun Microsystems quietly started the application registration process, and as a result, it collided head-on with Zheru Software Company, which had the same purpose, and immediately the spat broke out again, and the fun became bigger and bigger.

During his testimony in court on July 10, Joel Klein, the prosecutor in charge of the United States of America v. Zheru software company monopoly case, started from the hot spot of java renaming.

...

Tang, how much is your current wealth?

Before the richest man could answer, David Boyce, the chief lawyer of Zheru Software's legal team, protested tit for tat: I oppose this kind of question that has nothing to do with the case and involves personal privacy!

Joel Klein hurriedly clarified to Thomas Penfield Jackson, Judge of the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia: I promise that my question is necessary!

Thomas Penfield Jackson, who had been secretly inclined in his heart for a long time, reminded him blankly, Be careful, don't waste the precious time of the court.

Joel Klein leaned back slightly, turned around, and stared at Tang Huan with burning eyes.

The majestic richest man, his way of dealing with people is no longer enough to be described as talking and laughing with great scholars, and dealing with no white people. How could he be suppressed by a small prosecutor?

Tang Huan immediately replied indifferently: I'm more interested in public welfare now, and I don't pay attention to such numbers as I did when I was young. However, you should be able to find out from the Forbes Global Rich List released in March this year. , to find the so-called answer.

Speaking of this, the richest man shrugged, If you can't find this magazine, then I can ask my secretary to help. She has always been dedicated to sorting out the materials.

In the densely packed auditorium, there was an uncontrollable low laughter.

Joel Klein, who was ridiculed as young and superficial, blushed and did not answer Tang Huan's words, but continued at his own pace: Tang's net worth on the rich list exceeds two 150 billion U.S. dollars; and in 1997, that is, last year, the GDP of the United States, which ranked first in the world, was more than 8.6 trillion U.S. dollars, which is equivalent to 3% of Tang; Java’s gdp ranks 21st in the same period, about 260 billion US dollars, and Tang is on par with it.”

Tang's personal achievements are extremely dazzling and attract worldwide attention, which makes him have the charisma of a star and the influence of a leader.

Not long ago, on his personal blog, it is said that Tang just complained casually, which caused the Internet language Java, which Sun Microsystems was fully committed to building, to fall into a storm of boycott and renaming. The same is true for software companies in the entire software industry, monopoly.

I oppose this kind of inappropriate metaphor that confuses concepts, as well as the use of many personal, tendentious, and inflammatory adjectives. David Boyce stood up and said loudly: The opposing lawyer is using his own Likes and dislikes, judge witnesses arbitrarily.

Joel Klein explained straightforwardly: Tang's influence and Zheru Software's dominance are two sides of the same coin. If people don't have a clear impression of Zheru Software's monopoly , then through the enumeration of data just now and the horizontal analogy, it can be understood at a glance.

David Boyce ignored Joel Klein, who was spitting stars, and turned to Thomas Penfield Jackson: The opposing lawyer is citing data with ulterior motives, confusing concepts and misleading the witness's public image in order to influence people. Tendency to the United States of America v. Philosophy software monopoly case. If he continues to do so, I will consider suing him for defamation.

Thomas Penfield Jackson looked at Joel Klein and said indifferently: Please take the time to ask the witnesses questions.

Yes. Joel Klein agreed, no longer entangled in the metaphor just now, picked up a suit of documents, and said loudly: I have a copy of the 'Hundred Flowers Blooming' plan of Zheru Software Company on browser promotion. Including providing polestar's kernel and application program interface to third-party partners. Only a skin with a different interface can be used to quickly produce a browser based on Zheru Software's technical architecture, and then compete with rival Netscape. Forming a momentum of siege and interception.”

May I ask the witness, do you know about this 'Hundred Flowers Blooming' plan?

The richest man replied calmly: I don't know what you said.

Joel Klein said aggressively: Witness, you just need to answer clearly, 'yes' or 'no'!

I don't know, how do I answer 'yes' or 'no'? Tang Huan earnestly educated and said, It's like we use a computerized financial computerized system. The item of auditing accounting documents is not just 'yes' Or 'no', because some companies will not set up this business link, and the corresponding field in the database may contain 'null' in addition to '1' or '0'.

Joel Klein, who was a little dizzy by the sudden science popularization by the richest man, forced to ask with blue veins on his forehead: You occupy the position of 'software architect' on polestar's developer list, will you Are you clear about the 'Hundred Flowers Blooming' plan?

Tang Huan seemed to be taken aback, and replied a little cowardly, It's too specific, of course I don't know!

Joel Klein raised his voice and said: I'm not talking about the issue of 'specific implementation', but the 'Hundred Flowers Blooming' plan that has established enough support for the underlying architecture since the development of Polestar!

Objection! David Boyce stood up righteously. After misleading the witness before, the opposing lawyer is now threatening the witness!
