Rebirth of the Tech Madman

In terms of the intuitive form of the product, it is different from programs such as spreadsheet software, browsers, and operating systems, which can be used after being bought and installed on a personal computer. Tang Huan introduced it at this Spring Developer Conference of Zheru The Web2.0 architecture and search engine technology of the company all carry a bit of basic research, while the research and development results are run on the back-end server in the network. The perceptual cognition that ordinary users can get, that is, blogs, browser search, etc. Yes, return the experience of using the service request result.

It is not difficult to imagine that the threshold required for this kind of product for the back-end operating environment is not the kind of venture capital that can easily greet the praise of the kind of code alone, which can be easily reached. Yes-once the giants set their sights on this, it is really not easy for latecomers to take advantage of the loopholes.

The search engine application at this stage is mainly reflected in the competition for market share of Yahoo!, Excite, Infoseek, and these four major portals.

Among them, the latter three all got together for IPOs in 1996 and raised development funds, but they were still turned around by SoftBank. Yahoo, supported by Tang Huan, was firmly pressed down and had to take the second place first. You fight to the death.

The power of the backing of the richest man is extraordinary, as can be seen from a few small examples.

For example, the "Yahoo Directory" was driven out of the Stanford University campus network due to a large number of visits, but it turned around and got a foothold on the powerful Zheru server, temporarily saving a lot of basic equipment. Invest.

For another example, Yahoo got a god-defying artifact in terms of guiding traffic.

Next to the address bar of the browser, there is a "Go" button similar to the "OK" function. It will direct the user to a pre-set URL, in other words, it has the function of directing traffic.

Netscape's browser Netscape_Navigator, once used this button to earn 4 million US dollars a year; the browser Polestar of Zheru Software, which has a higher market share, is of great value. You have to be able to buy it!

In the beginning, Polestar's "Go" button was given to AOL; after Yahoo was established and taken over by SoftBank, it obtained this powerful tool for guiding traffic.

With support such as this, plus Yang Zhiyuan and David Filo, one main outsider, one insider, with the right business direction, Yahoo can naturally leave Excite, Infoseek, and the three main competitors far away.

Now, Yahoo will get the blessing of the richest man on the search engine.

When Tang Huan introduced this search engine solution called "Silk Road", he specifically mentioned-its technical foundation comes from the fact that Philosophy and Philosophy software are used in the fields of database, natural language, artificial intelligence, etc. A solid foundation accumulated over the past two decades.

The implication is that the well-known "Silk Road" possesses professionalism and powerful functions, which are by no means comparable to the so-called search engines on the market that are still in the stage of continuous exploration.

The same is true in fact. Since its birth, "Silk Road" has been the crystallization of many cutting-edge technology research results, and its advantages are countless.

First of all, the "Silk Road" database is EBase_i, which has completed the transformation of the Internet application model. It provides the most basic and comprehensive support for search engines in terms of data warehouse, data mining, natural language query, etc.

Secondly, "Silk Road" has a set of advanced mechanisms to automatically "crawl" various content, not limited to text, into the database from the Internet.

Next, the search results of "Silk Road" support logical functions such as relevance ranking, automatic web page summarization, and automatic classification.

The actual significance of this is great-since then, Internet advertising has a new game of "biding ranking".

Finally, from the point of view of ordinary users, "Silk Road" supports multi-language search-as long as you enter natural language, it can analyze the content of the web page, and process it completely intelligently, and the search scope is expanded beyond text search News search, image search, video search, MP3 search, FTP search and so on.

Specific to daily use, "Silk Road" supports advanced syntax including AND, OR, NOT, etc.

The richest man enthusiastically gave an example of how to search accurately, "We benefit from the wealth of information on the Internet, but at the same time we are troubled by how to retrieve effective information."

"For example, for the query term ‘zerone_soft’, it is very possible to get results that include ‘zerone’ and ‘zerone_soft’."

"At this time, you can use double quotation marks ‘"’ to enclose ‘zerone_soft’ to tell ‘thoughts’, as long as the returned result of ‘zerone_soft’ is included in its entirety. "

"After mastering advanced grammar like this, the'big' of the Internet will not let you fall into confusion, but will become your desk encyclopedia."

...

Gates is watching the live streaming of the 1998 Philosopher Spring Developer Conference at the Microsoft Headquarters in Seattle, West Coast State, also located in the West Coast of the United States.

Tang Huan's leisurely stroll on the stage, his personable manners, his witty remarks, and his advice were all passed on by the omnipotent Internet.

Of course, Gates disdain to listen to the fascinating guys under the stage, offering praises and cheers in worship.

He has only one goal, and that is, to find something to learn from, and use it for his own use. In these years, Microsoft has followed this trajectory and developed. Although it is unpleasant, it is very effective.

It's just that this way of catching up behind the **** is not really labor-saving-it seems that the puzzle that can never be completed is really exhausting and almost desperate.

No, Tang Huan officially took out the search engine.

Gates also knows that this is definitely a good thing, but Microsoft hasn't even developed the enterprise-level relational database SQL_Server yet, how can it be pursued?

Fortunately, Microsoft's browser has been upgraded to version 4.0, and the functions have reached a remarkable level of power, and finally there is no waste of effort.

More importantly, Microsoft, which is persistent in the operating system, recently launched an upgraded version of Windows_95 for the consumer sector-Windows_98, and the market response is the best ever.

It's ironic-Microsoft also integrated the browser and the operating system Windows_98, but it didn't attract the same kind of crusade as Philosopher Software.

Whenever he thinks of this, Gates has to secretly thank him-with Tang Huan in front of him, he has not only avoided a lot of detours, but also avoided a lot of trouble of attracting the wind.

After seeing Tang Huan introducing a development director to explain further specific topics of the "idea" search engine, Gates couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I originally thought that the philosopher software company, which is deeply in a monopoly whirlpool, will slow down. Footsteps; but now it seems that the impact is not great!"

Steve Ballmer speculated: "Tang may want to use this'forward' way of leading the industry to show the world that the Ministry of Justice sued the industry leader, Zheru Software, on antitrust grounds. Is wrong."

Gates smiled jokingly, "Tang's hard-heartedness was also discounted-you see, the search engine "Silk Road" did not allow Philosopher Software to monopolize it, but was opened to third-party portals."

Steve Ballmer did not refute, but said to himself: "The longer the contact, the more unpredictable Tang. For example, he matched Microsoft to buy non-voting shares in Apple Computer in exchange for two companies. Long-term copyright disputes on the graphical user interface-I haven't seen any benefit from Tang, but why did he still do it?"

Gates snorted, "It's easy to say-Tang is likely to try to use Microsoft's development and growth within a certain range to prove that there is still effective competition in the software industry under the monopoly of Philosopher Software-you see Well, in this anti-monopoly lawsuit, it was only sooner or later that Zheru Software used this card."

Steve Ballmer took a look at Gates and almost blurted out a question-did you think of this analysis yourself, or did your barrister father help you figure it out?

After forcibly pressing this gossip idea, Steve Ballmer turned to ask: "How should Microsoft respond to the Web2.0 and search engine proposed by Tang?"

Gates, who had a plan in his mind, replied without hesitation: "Web 2.0 is an open technical standard-after our engineers who participated in the Spring Developer Conference of Philosophers come back, we will quickly follow up; as for the search Engine, also deploy resources, let’s stand alone."

Speaking of this, a trace of distress flashed across Gates's face, and he muttered to himself: "I don't know whether our large database SQL_Server can take on the task of storing the massive data of search engines."

...

Companies like Microsoft that still choose to support the Web 2.0 proposed by Tang Huan, even if there is a competitive relationship, are definitely not a minority.

I have to say that this is where the power of the industry leader lies-if you don't follow this trend, you won't even have the qualifications to compete!

Just like the era of high housing prices, no matter how overwhelmed and complained, you must participate in this panic buying trend-otherwise, you will not even have the qualifications to be exploited, and it will not be far from the "useless" situation.

However, in the voice of support for Web2.0, discordant tones have also appeared.

Previously, Zheru Software Company purchased a Java license from Sun Microsystems.

As a result, the "NOISE" alliance had serious infighting due to this divorce. Netscape directly turned against Sun Microsystems and cancelled the plan to develop browsers using the Java language, which accelerated the disintegration of this anti-philosophical software alliance.

The reason why Sun Microsystems does this is naturally the result of profit-it takes a fancy to Zheru Software's absolute dominant platform share, and plays an important role in the market promotion of Java that cannot be replaced.

Of course, Sun Microsystems did not wish to think of things as "simple", but also used the greatest malicious intent to predict the insidious tactics that Zheru Software may use.

For example, in the attachment to the license agreement, Sun Microsystems has clear requirements for the Java R&D progress of Zheru Software.

At this Spring Developer Conference of Zheru, Zheru's software version of Java, including the Java virtual machine that executes the code, all came out with results.

Sun Microsystems is quite happy-Zheru Software Company is really trustworthy!

But soon, seeing that the Philosopher software version of Java has a lot of improvements and improvements to the Sun Microsystem, I thought about it-according to this trend, I might be overwhelmed by the other party and lose control of Java.

At this moment, Sun Microsystems went into a rage-good thief, you are so insidious!

In this way, Sun Microsystems brought the Zheru Software Company to the court of San Jose, Silicon Valley with a petition.

The outside world was directly amused by this scene-what happened to Zheru Software? Finally, Zheru's Spring Developer Conference was held at a staggered time with the opening time of the United States of America v. Zheru Software Company's monopoly case, and it turned out to be annoying again. There is a new lawsuit.

...

Joel Klein, the prosecutor of the U.S. Department of Justice who is responsible for prosecuting the monopoly of Philosophy Software, is also one of the dudes who laughed about it.

In fact, the reason why he agreed to postpone the court hearing was because his colleagues at the headquarters of Zheru Software Corporation ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ found a new evidence-Zheru Software Company used its monopoly position and used browser plug-ins. , Which unfairly guided Internet traffic.

Joel Klein's first reaction when he heard the news was that the water in the IT circle was really deep! The secrets of Zheru Software Company seem to be unfinished!

Ever since, Joel Klein asked his colleagues to work overtime again to prepare information about this new evidence on April 26, fortunately, it came in handy in the court the next day.

Joel Klein was a pioneer. He arrived at the office early on April 26. The first thing he did was to turn on the computer and check whether his colleagues on the West Coast had sent emails.

What makes Joel Klein sweat so much is that his computer can't start-the power indicator light is on! Power fan, turn! But the monitor was completely dark, and even the minimum startup was not executed!

Joel Klein inspected the entire office area and found that all computers had this problem without exception.

At such a critical moment, the computers went on strike!

In Joel Klein's heart, there are more than ten thousand horses racing!

...

At this time, sweating Joel Klein did not know that the computer security company Symantec had issued the highest level of red security warning-it discovered the most destructive concentrated outbreak of computer viruses in history. It is best not to start the computer until an effective response plan comes out.

Given that this computer virus broke out on April 26, it was temporarily named "Chernobyl virus".

At this time, sweating Joel Klein did not know that the computer security company Symantec had issued the highest level of red security warning-it discovered the most destructive concentrated outbreak of computer viruses in history. Effective
