Rebirth of the Tech Madman

...

Some people talk about pursuing truth as a tool, which is naturally very high-sounding, but once the truth is stabbed out, it often makes them very embarrassed.

This is the situation now-on the night before the International Olympic Committee finalized the right to host the 2000 Olympic Games on September 23, the Australian Olympic Committee Chairman John Cowz hosted a banquet in a hotel in Monte Carlo. Two members of the International Olympic Committee-Mukla of Kenya and Nyangviso of Uganda.

There is no major problem with eating and drinking. The key point is that John Cowz also stuffed the two of them with $35,000 in cash on the spot, and was secretly photographed.

Judging from the quality of the evidence, the technique is very professional, which is obviously intentional, and John Cowz just gave the other party a chance to display his skills.

It turned out that Australia relied on this method to barely win by two votes-the media that was still downplaying China and praising Australia's true name were suddenly messed up.

Since the German "Stuttgart Newspaper" reported the news for the first time, there is reason to believe that the Germans were dissatisfied with their "internal and external troubles" and ended their bid to host the Olympic Games. happy.

The "Stuttgart Zeitung" quickly stated that we are not the only media to receive the news. If we don't believe it, we will ask "who's the little one".

Looking at the names, they are all media under News Corporation-no wonder there is no movement. You know, Murdoch started in Australia.

News Corp hastened to clarify-it's not that we didn't report on purpose, but that some small problems happened in the work process.

Well, since it's not a German, it must be a Chinese man who is angry at his being hacked secretly.

China responded quickly-although we were unsuccessful this time, we are still preparing to continue actively bidding, but we will not be stingy as you think.

No one admits that he is the initiator of the so-called conspiracy, and this scene is even more impossible to clean up.

Seeing that Australia, which I had touted to fight China, was so muddy that it couldn't support the wall, the media were so angry and hated that they started to bite again.

For example, in order to bid for the 2000 Olympic Games in Australia, the budget was raised from the previous 6 million US dollars to 28 million US dollars.

For another example, in order to win votes, Australia provided scholarships to African athletes-about 400 athletes from 11 African countries came to Australia, and the project cost more than 2 million US dollars.

All in all, these media vowed not to stop turning the old Australians who have let down their "affectionateness" to the sky.

The International Olympic Committee was also devastated by this big scandal, and various stakeholders have repeatedly emphasized that they did not spread the family scandal.

Some committee members have even proposed that since Australia can't win the war, or else, take back the right to host the 2000 Olympics, or just leave it to China.

The real power figures of the International Olympic Committee are naturally unwilling. Gein can only make mistakes now, otherwise, the IOC will really have no prestige at all.

Australia, which is discredited, had to respond, and put all the responsibility on the chairman of the Australian Olympic Committee, John Cowz-his personal behavior does not represent the country.

John Cowz, who has been the vice chairman of the Australian Olympic Committee for 6 years and chairman for 4 years, held a press conference and announced his resignation in public. They expressed our desire to win. I personally think that this event will encourage them to vote for Sydney."

...

I have to say that the bidding process for the 2000 Olympic Games is very special and exciting. The ups and downs have caused many clowns to scream pain while holding their red cheeks, while muttering around looking around-who did it?

Appreciating the situation of jumping in the air, Tang Huan was stealing pleasure, and even more deeply hidden in the abyss-if Australia knew that it was the richest man who exposed his old bottom, he would definitely turn his face in anger.

This matter, let it become a headless case. History is so attractive because of its secrets.

In fact, the richest man hides himself very well because he is not generally busy.

Under Tang Huan's promotion, the commercialization of the Internet is ready and set sail.

The next thing is to make a fuss around this center.

For example, flicking in more capital to form a real tide. As for whether it is a bubble or not, it is not within the controllable range of personal ability. Anyway, the benefits that should be taken have not fallen.

At the same time, what can be called the last major gap in the development of microcomputer hardware-3d acceleration, has also begun to appear.

The function of the personal computer graphics card was initially just a simple display, that is, the digital display signal sent by the host to the display is converted into a general electrical analog signal, so that the display can understand what the personal computer is commanding it to do.

But soon, after this signal conversion function, 2d acceleration function was added, and there was even a decoding and playback function of digital video such as vcd.

At this stage, at the level of the semiconductor industry, these three types of functions can already be incorporated into a chip, and a single ordinary auxiliary accelerator, like a math auxiliary processor to a cpu, is integrated with the manufacturing trend, which has taken away the living space. .

However, although the 2d auxiliary accelerator has gradually lost its necessity, the 3d acceleration has gradually made up for it.

Now integrating the 3d acceleration function into the same chip is not cost-effective in terms of technical difficulty and commercial cost.

Therefore, the richest man who holds the power to develop the personal computer industry believes that a single 3d accelerator card, which has existed in the market for a period of time, can indeed provide a good buffer.

The key now is not to rush to integrate the newly released 3D acceleration technology into the GPU, but to guide game developers, graphics and image software developers, etc., to learn to use this new technical architecture.

This kind of two-way interaction has a positive effect on whether a new 3d industrial ecological chain can be built at the fastest speed and a wider range of third-party manufacturers can be supported.

...

Akio Morita and Norio Oga, who came to visit, visited this result together with Tang Huan-it will be officially released on comdex in Las Vegas this fall, which is not a secret.

The richest man pointed to a person in the crowd and asked with interest: "This is?"

"He is Ken Kutaragi, the head of the computer entertainment department established by Sony only this year." Norio Oga, who quickly introduced him, couldn't help but wonder-what kind of look in Tang's eyes could actually take Kutaragi, who seemed nothing strange, from Picked out from the crowd.

"It's nice to meet you." After shook hands with the bent Kutaragi Ken, the richest man turned to Akio Morita and Norio Oga with a meaningful smile: "It seems that Sony's territory in the entertainment consumer field is more It’s getting bigger."

"Compared to Tang, we are only in hindsight." Akio Morita, who was rather unhappy in his heart, replied modestly.

Sony once wanted to cooperate with Nintendo, which was eager to seek other technical supporters because Mitsubishi Electric could not keep up with the latest developments of home game consoles, calmly familiarized with the rules and mastered resources, and finally entered this financially rich field.

It’s a pity that Hiroshi Yamauchi discovered Sony’s hidden evil intentions, and he decisively tore up the cooperation agreement without any instigation by others. The meaning of it was also very star-although Nintendo could not do the ea of ​​the richest man, but the second place in the millennium, Don't even think about it!

After Sony's strategy of borrowing chickens and laying eggs is gone, the top executives are very divided on whether to continue to enter the field of video games.

In the process of cooperating with Nintendo, Ken Kutaragi, who served as the head of Sony, naturally hopes that the owner will not give up the original intention, otherwise, his career will be hit again.

Fortunately, Sony President Dahe Norio made it clear that he supported his independent research and development of new home game consoles, and the progress has been good. As a result, a Sony Computer Entertainment was formed this year, which is considered to be formally organized.

After the release of the 64-bit fourth-generation holder microprocessor, the video game industry was also greatly shaken. The cpu used by Gein’s current three generations of Cassidy game consoles is a special version of the holder family-with the technical strength and cooperation of philosopher and ea, such a powerful microprocessor is introduced into the field of electronic game consoles. A matter of course.

The home game console currently being developed by Ken Kutaragi also uses a risc microprocessor, which is an authorized derivative of mips and is compatible with the 32-bit chip r3000 under this architecture.

Regardless of the current global success of the semiconductor industry, the products it relies on are mainly memory. As far as technology is concerned, it is actually at a low-end position in the entire semiconductor industry, and the United States is able to independently develop a new cpu architecture. Compared with peers, there is still a considerable distance.

Therefore, under the surface of the king and hegemony, it is inevitable to be controlled by others, and Sony is one of them.

With the excuse of seeking a new graphics acceleration chip this time, Akio Morita and Norio Oga would like to evaluate the possible impact of the fourth-generation holder on the field of home TV hosts, lest their products are born before they die.

When Kutaragi Ken and other technical personnel gradually learned that Zheru’s 3D acceleration chip, code-named "Volcano", has hardware support for z-buffering, texture compression, linear filtering and texture blending, and can reach 10mpixels/ After the pixel filling rate of s, I couldn't help but show a look of joy.

"It also supports mpeg-1 hardware acceleration?" Akio Morita tentatively asked.

For digital video represented by vcd, Sony has been coveting it for a long time and is planning to introduce new technical standards to replace vcd, which has many obvious shortcomings.

"More than that. The latest mpeg-2 is also supported." Tang Huan smiled playfully: "VCD's too low resolution limits the home theater experience increasingly. This level is called low-definition, but it can be achieved. The standard definition of 720x576 pixel resolution has naturally become the successor to my part. If it is combined with the digital TV under study, it will be even more satisfying."

"Tang's grasp of the industry's direction has always been ahead." Akio Morita complimented him.

The richest man seemed to enjoy the feeling of being held up to the cloud and proactively said: "We can look at the latest developments in this area."

The next demonstration platform consists of a personal workstation equipped with a "volcano" 3D accelerator card, and a TV with the "Sharp" logo.

Looking at the engineer's explanation while connecting that digital TV to the TV interface of the workstation graphics card, Akio Morita frowned secretly-Tang Huan's it technology has an influence on traditional home appliances~www.wuxiaspot.com~ is really true. It's becoming more and more obvious.

"This is the performance of DVD, the successor of vcd." The richest man pointed to the screen that was playing a football match and said in a clear and clear manner.

"It seems that the sound system has also been improved." Norio Oga, who loves music very much, keenly noticed the audio performance of the DVD.

"The latest features, including surround sound, multi-channel, etc., will be officially announced on the upcoming Las Vegas comdex." Tang Huan replied at all times.

After the football game highlights, it was a detailed "fifa" promotional video.

Kutaragi courageously asked: "Is this the next version of "fifa", it seems to use 3D acceleration technology."

The richest man laughed and answered earnestly: "The Football World Cup will be held in the United States next year. There are boundless business opportunities. Of course, "fifa" will use some new things to attract more players."

...

As a courtesy exchange, Tang Huan's hospitality to Akio Morita and Norio Oga was naturally very thoughtful and enthusiastic. When they left, they looked very happy.

However, according to the assistant responsible for sending these people on the plane to Hawaii, he came back to report-in private, Akio Morita and Norio Oga were frowning, and even heard Morita sigh inadvertently-it seems we can only Fight for second place.

"I hope Sony can be so acquainted." The richest man, who was satisfied with the effect of the beating, smiled slightly.

Soon, there was a news from Hawaii that Akio Morita suddenly suffered a cerebral hemorrhage-stroke while playing tennis.

Tang Huan, with a stunned face, said to himself fortunately: "Fortunately they left so quickly!"
