In the long run, semiconductor manufacturers' control over the ecosystem built on ISA will become weaker, and ISA itself will become less and less important. This is determined by the development trend of software technology, and these technologies
In the 1990s, it had already begun to have some success.
Netscape Navigator, many professional terms and functions of current browsers are derived from it, such as cookies, web frameworks, js, etc. are all defined in this browser.
This crazy company has tried many times to create a network application operating system that allows users to operate through a browser. That is to say, through a browser, users can control a remote operating system without the need to install an operating system on the local computer.
.(The netbook and chromebook launched by Google a few years ago define the laptop as a browser, and all operations must be connected to the Internet to complete. The performance of the local computer only needs to be able to support basic networking and video playback, and everything else does not matter.
Leave it to the server to handle.)
At this time, in order to cope with the growing power of Netscape, Microsoft directly purchased the source code of the prototype version of the Netscape Navigator browser, which was the first version of the browser made by Marc Andreessen in college. Then, after modification,
Released, it is the IE browser.
This is Microsoft's specialty. Many interviews have also mentioned how Microsoft's operating system came about. Basically, you buy it and then modify it, and it becomes your own.
Well, in the next few years, penguins will carry forward this special skill and grow flowers brilliantly.
…
In the villa, Zhao Song shook his head slightly to put away the messy thoughts, and then put down his hand to motion for the excited Wang Xin to sit down and talk.
The scene Wang Xin talked about did not come true when he came back from the dead.
But he was willing to try, and even if the attempt failed, the things derived from this attempt would be beneficial and harmless to Tesla.
Because he knows a miracle that everyone in the field of web development turns a blind eye to - vbscript is dead, dart has failed, leaving only javascript standing in the future!
"Atwood's Law: Any application system that can be implemented in JavaScript will eventually be implemented in JavaScript."
This was proposed by jeff, the founder of overflow, in the last time and space in 2007. Ten years later, this law has basically worked, and a subset of javascript is used as assembly language asm.js and its subsequent webassembly, which makes web applications more efficient.
Comparing the potential of native applications, running Unity3D games in the browser is no problem!
Zhao Song took out a piece of information, handed it to Wang Xin who calmed down, and said with a smile:
"Don't get excited yet. It's just an idea I plan to try. You should read the information first."
Seeing that Wang Xin read the information seriously, Zhao Song continued to introduce:
"Two years ago, in exchange, some of the money I earned in the financial market had to be invested in the U.S. stock market, so I took advantage of the opportunity to acquire several technology companies and also obtained some technology licenses."
Wang Xin looked up from the information and murmured: "mozilla?"
"Yes, mozilla." Zhao Song nodded and said, "After Netscape was acquired by America Online, some people went to Microsoft, some went to Google, and some people went to the open source community to continue pursuing their persistence...
..."
Speaking of this, Zhao Song looked at Wang Xin and joked, "As a technical leader in the community, I believe you are familiar with those people, right?"
Wang Xinran is a man of influence on the Internet, but in real life he is the boss of a small company. He knows his role very well, but he didn't expect to be picked out by Zhao Song.
"There were people still working on the new Netscape browser, and there was the last group of people who were working on this mozilla. America Online was funding it until 2001, and because of the dotcom crash and the relationship with Time Warner, Tes
Take it over."
This is the forward-looking layout of the richest man, the most powerful person in the open source circle. He didn't even know that Mozilla had changed owners in the past two years. Wang Xin silently guessed in his heart, if he hadn't been found today, how long could Zhao Song have hidden Mozilla?
"The reason why you came to me is..."
Hearing Wang Xin's question, Zhao Song pointed to the mobile phone on the table and said: "Based on the mozilla kernel, first, he presided over the development of a browser for feature phones. The main function is to extract the text content of the web page and format it for mobile phone users. (
Similar to uc); second, make a web browser that conforms to the habits of domestic users."
Wang Xin looked at Zhao Song in surprise and asked, "Are you going to outsource?"
"Acquisition."
Zhao Song denied his speculation, "I will acquire your team."
"If it's just those two projects," Wang Xin shook his head, "outsourcing is much more cost-effective than acquiring my company."
"Those two projects are just a test of your ability." Zhao Song said with a smile, "Tesla is already a member of the w3c organization, so in the future, it will participate in the organization to formulate HTML standards, license the mozilla kernel to all manufacturers for free, and establish a domestic
Open source websites and formulate API (application program interface) specifications are what Tesla’s chief software technology officer should do.”
"Where's Frank?" Wang Xin was surprised. He didn't expect it to be such an important position.
"He proved himself at Tesla and fulfilled his previous dream, so..." Zhao Song shrugged, "Foreigners, they come up with ideas as they come up, so he wants to make a career in other fields."
Zhao Song did not say what the founder of MP3 would do.
"...Mr. Zhao"
Wang Xin thought for a long time before saying with difficulty, "I need time to think about it, and I have to inform my team."
"It should be." Zhao Song nodded, then pointed to the information in his hand and said: "Mr. Wang, if the system is a platform, then the browser is the entrance to the Internet. If you grasp this entrance, you will control the future.
Shenzhou and Tesla's bundled sales can bring it countless users, and retaining these users is the most important task of Tesla's software engineers.
Mr. Wang, the information needs to be kept confidential. Whether you agree or not, I hope you will eat what you see today."
Wang Xin nodded solemnly. If what he saw today were spread, it would definitely cause an uproar:
Shenzhou is Penguin's major shareholder, and Zhao Song holds shares in Shenzhou; Shanda acquires Sina, and Zhao Song is Shanda's major shareholder; Zhongguancun Holdings invests in Jingxi Mall, which is Zhao Song's personal enterprise; Tesla sued Qiandu because of the problem of piracy of music.
The two parties negotiated a Qiandu share compensation agreement, and Zhao Song is the founder of Tesla...
Although I don’t know what the relationship between these Internet companies and Zhao Song’s browser strategy is, the next step of the richest man’s strategy is definitely the Internet!
But Wang Xin was wrong.
Zhao Song’s real strategic goal is a chip ecosystem based on wireless Internet.
No matter how unimportant the ISA of the CPU is in the future, it will always be the foundation of all systems. On this basis, only a sound ecology can allow it to develop.
And Zhao Song's real goal is to prepare an ecosystem floating in the clouds and wait for that moment to arrive!
There is a line in the movie "The Grandmaster": "Why does the sword have a sheath? It's not for killing, but for hiding."
Now, only Zhao Song knows that the real entrance to the Internet is not a system or a browser at all, but those...
Super app!
Or in other words, a browser that integrates all super apps.
…
"Mr. Zhao, when the browser is launched, will it be called mozilla?"
Before leaving, Wang Xin asked this question.
"No……"
Zhao Song shook his head, thought for a while, and then said slowly:
