Chapter 709 Monopoly Is Actually a False Proposition

The dispute between the White system and MPEG has attracted the attention of many giants. In the current situation, if you dare to ignore William White's behavior, it is a standard idiot behavior.

Don't you already have an organization? Is it necessary to start anew?

Other industries or people will ask this question, but the IT industry will definitely not. Isn't the 5.2-inch floppy disk facing elimination? Now that there are 1.44-inch floppy disks, who will use those old guys patiently?

This is the advantage of setting standards. It’s useless for you to be unhappy. If you don’t want to be eliminated, you must follow our rules.

If you don't believe it, you can try a 0.8 floppy drive, and no one will care about you.

When it comes to digital video, there are more related parties. What is the most common in Hollywood?

movie!

There are too many movies that cannot be entered into the cinema here. If you want to digitize all these things, the workload is very amazing.

So the question is, whose standard are you going to use. If you're not sure, it's better to wait. If you make a mistake, your loss will be too great.

What?

Hasn't MPEG already been developed?

Cut, that picture and pixels, there is no way to accept it. Since it is not as good as a video tape, who would want to convert it, isn't it just a little smaller in size.

Of course, these are not the focus of the giants, they are very clear that William White must have other plans.

Sure enough, just three days later, White Systems announced that their next-generation video accelerator card will support the hardware decompression of DigitalVideo Disc.

A computer with a video accelerator card installed can easily watch digital video. Moreover, the resolution of this video will reach 720X480.

"This shameless person, he can't have this thing at all." Qiao Dashen was very angry. He had just observed Bell Labs not long ago. Their level is not as good as that of the MPEG alliance.

Michael Dell, however, did not take it seriously. This shit is just taking advantage of it. If you say you can do it now, there is nothing anyone can do about it. As long as your product next year does not bounce tickets, no one will have a temper.

"Steve, it seems that William White wants to bring computers to household appliances. To be honest, I have no reason to object."

Qiao Dashen couldn't help being stunned, yes, other people are selling, and your computer is different.

"Hehe, this bastard has made MPEG miserable. Those experts are more embarrassing and won't be so shameless."

"Not necessarily, Steve. If you don't believe me, just wait and see. Those guys definitely say they can do it too. Haha, it's exciting now."

They pay attention here, and Bill Gates is no exception. Nima, digital video, is it necessary to develop a player? If William White develops it again, the stocks of labor and capital will suffer again.

The competition in the IT industry is speed and strength, and it is normal for big fish to eat small fish. Later Google and Facebook did the same.

Bill Gates is more sad, he was played bad by the Ministry of Justice. After a few blows, it is estimated that he has no ambitions. How to live longer is his pursuit.

Now that he knows it, of course he needs to finalize it first. William White is a bastard, but he's still a software engineer. If it's too complicated, he won't have the energy. This kind of player is amazing, but it's really not difficult.

Without hardware decompression, he may have to spend some effort. Now that he has this, of course it will be a matter of course.

"Well, Lydia, answer Filson for me, no, answer Tom's call, that fat man."

"Ahem, okay, boss, I'll go right away."

Bill Gates actually thought too much, and William White was not interested in this kind of software. You can talk about it once, what to do when you upgrade, this kind of player software will eventually be soft decompressed, as long as the MMX CPU comes out, the meaning of the video accelerator card will not be great.

Bigwigs in the IT industry believe that William White intends to monopolize video accelerator cards. This is why the desktop processor was given up.

Well, I have to say, these guys think too much. Today's video accelerator cards are simply niche products. Even so, there is no shortage of competitors.

monopoly?

William White certainly looked forward to it. Unfortunately, this is unrealistic. If he has the ability to find an AMD, he may still have some opportunities. If you can't find it, you will be overtaken sooner or later.

Besides, do you think Intel and AMD are dead. These two products are still playing with each other. After the two of them get the results, you think they will not be able to engage in GPU.

Of course, William White is not easy to deal with. If you engage in integrated graphics, buddies will not see it. If you engage in discrete graphics cards, do you really think I can't enter the desktop processor market?

The monopoly of the IT industry is actually time-sensitive. It's okay when you keep moving forward, and your competitors can't catch up with you. Stop and try if you bring the seeds, and it won't be one or two who are eyeing you.

"Player? Hahaha, Bill Gates is such a narrow-minded guy. A browser is a browser, so what about a player? This kind of thing needs to be updated constantly. Let me tell you, Tom, if you need to spend money to buy , this thing can’t be sold at all.”

"Hehe, boss, so you don't plan to do it?"

William White looked at this fat man with a strange expression, Nima, what are you going to do now, buddy?

"Tom, that video format we have is just futures."

"Ahem, okay, boss, I see, there will be no problem, right?"

"No, in fact, the MPEG2 of that group of experts is coming out soon. They know very well that the first generation of things will not work at all."

"Boss, will these guys compromise?"

"I have more than the White system in my hands, two film companies, and a bunch of TV stations. If I don't accept this format, where will they go to find content.

Also, Universal and Columbia will also refuse. Think about it, don't say their current standards are not good, even if they are really awesome, if I don't use it, I don't need it, you have no temper at all. "

Well, Tom figured it out. It turned out that the killer is here. Those experts are really serious. Why didn't you listen to the good talk with you at the beginning.

Well now, the situation is reversed, even if you want to talk, the result will not be the same as before.

"Boss, the next step should be something like a video recorder, right?"

"That's right, but, we don't do this stuff. Hey, Tom, patents are open. Do you think we've done anything like a foot basin man? Next, production in the United States will be a disaster. You need to consider medical insurance and social security. Then, you You'll find that no one likes working in a factory."

Looking at the stunned Tom, William White could only smile wryly. Isn't that why the foot basin people don't object?

Today's VCRs are really troublesome. How many years have passed, and they are still fighting with those companies.

Yes, you are not mistaken. In essence, the video recorder is actually an illegal product. Not to mention that you copied the rented video, it is a crime to seize this thing. As for those who can't catch it, you can do whatever you want.

The biggest use of video recorders in the United States is that if you don’t have time to watch news or American dramas, it can record for you. It doesn’t matter if there is no one at home, the video recorder will start by itself.

Well, the thing is, this stuff is copyrighted. The fee you pay is only for live broadcast. If you need to record, you must pay the fee again.

This appeal is actually quite reasonable. If everyone watches the recording, how can they sell advertisements.
