拉里?佩奇吐槽甲骨文為何無力
????古多塔說:“如果谷歌不行動的話,我們將面臨嚴峻的未來,到時候只有一個人、一款設備、一家供應商可供挑選。所以如果你相信開源,如果你相信選擇的力量,如果你相信每個人的創新,那么歡迎使用安卓。”為了把話題引到自家產品身上,他還展示了一份幻燈片,里面提到了喬治?奧威爾的小說《1984》,旁邊還寫著一句話:“這不是我們想要的未來”。谷歌的“統戰宣言”顯然獲得了很好的反響。 ????今年年初,拉里?佩奇在接受《連線》雜志(Wired)采訪時談到了Facebook,這次采訪又成了人們的另一次談資。當然他在談到Facebook的過程中,也不失時機地表示谷歌也要建立一個出色的社交網絡與Facebook競爭。在承認了Facebook的實力后,拉里?佩奇有些輕蔑甚至夸張地說:“他們在產品上做得很差?!盕acebook的創始人馬克?扎克伯格并未針對佩奇的批評進行反擊。 ????佩奇之所以對甲骨文表示失望,是因為兩家公司剛剛打完了一個漫長的專利官司,甲骨文狀告谷歌侵犯了它的Java軟件專利。佩奇表示,這種官司會扼殺創新。在臺上公開抱怨甲骨文也是需要勇氣的,可以說甲骨文手中握著整個科技產業的“兼容性的王冠”——而且甲骨文的CEO拉里?艾里森歷來喜歡跟競爭對手打官司然后嘲笑他們。佩奇表示:“我們想和甲骨文建立合作關系,但這看起來不可能?!保ㄘ敻恢形木W) ????譯者:樸成奎 |
????"If Google did not act, we faced a draconian future -- a future where one man, one company, one device, one carrier would be our only choice," Gundotra said. "So if you believe in openness, if you believe in choice, if you believe in innovation from everyone, then welcome to Android." To hammer the point home, he flashed a slide referencing George Orwell's 1984 alongside the phrase "not the future we want." Google's let's-all-get-along edict apparently had the day off. ????Page's aversion to negativity took another holiday earlier this year during an interview with Wiredmagazine in which he talked about Facebook (FB). His perspective is, of course, colored by Google's efforts to build a credible social network competitor. After acknowledging Facebook's strength, Page dismissively and perhaps hyperbolically said, "They're also doing a really bad job on their products." Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook's founder, seems to have weathered the criticism just fine. ????Page's frustration with Oracle follows a lengthy patent dispute between the two companies. Lawsuits, like the one Oracle filed over the use of Java software, stifle innovation, he said. In complaining about Oracle on stage, Page took on a company that arguably owns the tech industry's crown for combativeness. Larry Ellison, Oracle's chief executive, has a history of filing lawsuits against rivals and then ridiculing them. "We'd like to have a cooperative relationship with Oracle," Page said. "It doesn't seem possible." |
