Regarding the notebook, Li Zetian said: "Apple's notebook is named poerbook, which means a powerful notebook with excellent performance. The first generation of poerbook uses a reduced instruction set processor arm1, which acts as a mouse trackball and palm rest. The big feature. Especially the palm rest, no computer company has had this kind of design before, you can see that the palm rest in front of the keyboard can be put on it, making users more comfortable when operating the laptop, the trackball in the middle of the palm rest It can be rotated and the position of the mouse can be moved!"
Wozniak said: "The design of the palm rest is simply too user-friendly, and working with a laptop like this will definitely make your hands less tired!"
Jobs said: "This patent application, I'm sure the palm rest will become the standard for laptops!!!"
Li Zetian smiled and nodded, "I have already asked someone to apply for a patent!"
Jobs thought about it and said, "The trackball is also a good design, but it just feels a little awkward."
The capacitive-based touchpad mouse has not been invented yet, and it would have been invented by george gerpheide in 1988 without the human intervention of Li Zetian. At present, poerbook naturally can't use the touchpad, and the trackball should be an alternative product. However, the empty space in the middle of the palm rest is wasted if it is not used, and the function of the trackball can indeed attract the user's attention, adding a sense of technology.
Li Zetian chatted with Jobs and Wozniak for an hour or two before concluding the conversation.
A few days later, Sun Microsystems and Apple made major personnel changes.
Steve Jobs as Apple CEO, Wozniak as Apple's Chief Scientist!
Dr. Jim Clark as Sun Microsystems CEO, William Nelson Joy as Sun Microsystems Chief Scientist!
Personnel adjustment is not a big deal, but what Jobs did after taking office made the global media excited and crazy!
On March 20, Apple held a press conference, announcing that it would stop multiple projects within the company, leaving only personal computers, software development and Walkman. At the same time, it announced plans to lay off 3,000 employees.
As soon as the news came out, it immediately caused a sensation in the industry and caused reports from major media around the world.
"The New York Times" said: "Jobs, as CEO, immediately cut off most of Apple's projects. This move is undoubtedly self-destructing the Great Wall. Chronos·li's decision has a major problem! Apple has no cure!"
The Wall Street Journal is also not optimistic about Jobs: "Apple spent a lot of money on other projects. When Jobs took office, he did not study whether these projects were profitable. He cut off almost all projects across the board, wasting Apple's efforts for many years. Steve Jobs is the most prodigal CEO of this century!!!”
"Los Angeles Times" badly said: "Apple has shrunk seriously after Steve Jobs' toss, and the company's market value has fallen sharply!"
In fact, almost no media is optimistic about Jobs, thinking that Li Zetian made a big mistake!
At this time, when Thomas Rockefeller heard the news, his face was shocked and he murmured: "What is chronos li doing? Is it self-destructing the Great Wall?" Suddenly, Thomas Rockefeller was glad that he sold Apple. , At the same time, I feel that Li Zetian may have water in his head and let Jobs do something wrong!
When the outside world was scolding Jobs, he turned a deaf ear and was busy laying off and selling Apple's assets!
People inside Apple were so terrified that they dared not look Jobs in the eye for fear of being fired by him.
Li Zetian came forward to support Jobs at this time. In an interview with a media reporter, he said: "Many people are talking about Jobs, saying that he is incompetent, saying that he has destroyed Apple. In fact, I want to say that everything that Jobs does is I authorized it, and I asked to cut off multiple Apple projects! Now Apple is suffering from a long illness and has to undergo major surgery! If you have any doubts about my decision, please wait a few months before Look!"
The reporters were astonished, but they didn't expect that Jobs was just the executor, and Li Zetian was the planner.
"This is how chronos·li saved Apple? Oh, what a disappointment!"
"Disappointed? How has chronos.li ever let us down? Maybe you didn't think about what he was thinking about. You can do it!"
"Damn, if I have that ability, I'll be chatting and spanking with you here!"
"… "
Li Zetian's interview immediately spread to the world.
Public opinion has changed from one-sided to two.
Many people think that Li Zetian's move is very meaningful.
"Who is chronos li, how could his decision be wrong?"
"Yeah, Chronos Li is so stubborn, there must be a back move!"
"… "
A large number of experts and professors began to whitewash Li Zetian, explaining how Li Zetian's decision would benefit Apple, in order to show that he is also very good!
Look, my name as an expert professor is not for nothing, I know the deep meaning behind Li Zetian's decision!
Of course, there are also some experts and professors who criticize and satirize Li Zetian's decision to gain attention.
After more than a month, Apple realized its plan to streamline administration, leaving only some hardware and software developers from Sunbird and Atari, and the rest were sold to Flamingo for $100 million. Printers were also sold at low prices to businesses under Li Zetian's name.
Apple threw away the burden, went into battle easily, and started three products designed by Li Zetian: cd-walkman, ima desktop all-in-one computer and poerbook notebook computer. At the same time, cdrom is also being developed.
In fact, Li Zetian once considered letting Apple develop mobile phones, but when he thought that Motorola had been developing "Big Brother" mobile phones for almost 10 years, Apple couldn't keep up, so he didn't join in the fun. When Qualcomm's cdma is developed or European gsm is developed, that is, the 2g era comes, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Motorola can't afford to lose its tail, and it started to fall behind in the 2g era, so that Nokia mobile phones surpassed it! ! !
