背水一戰的Nokia:把技術長從芬蘭外派到美國舊金山
Nokia昨天(2011/9/22)把的Henry Tirri升拔為成技術長(CTO),他原是Nokia研究中心(Nokia Research Center)的主管。而且,他被要求從總部所在地芬蘭外派到美國西岸舊金山灣區(Sunnyvale, California),以靠近頭號敵人蘋果公司以及Google總部的所在地(Cupertino和Mountain View)。
Nokia的現任CEO是現年48歲來加拿大的自前微軟公司負責Office產品線的主管Stephen Elop(他也曾經當過Macromedia在被Adobe合併前三個月的CEO),筆者總覺得這個Nokia新CEO是微軟派去Nokia的大間諜!因為,他成功地讓Nokia決定放棄自家Symbian和Maemo,在今年二月宣布在未來的智慧型手機上採用微軟的Windows Mobile 7作業系統。
把高階主管外派至敵前,顯示出背水一戰的決心!尤其,當Nokia在美國的銷售量已成為非常可憐的狀況下。在今(2011)年,Nokia一點都不好過!在5月已關閉法國和西班牙的線上商店銷售業務,在6月時也同時關閉了美國、英國和德國的線上商店銷售業務,7月份宣布將徹底退出日本手機市場。
我們必須尊敬Nokia的決心,雖然他們在過去五年表現愈來愈差,雖然他們在過去十年過的太爽了,雖然他們想要靠微軟這個同樣在智慧型手機領域的嚴重落後者,似乎也不是個妥當的選擇。但是,期望各家廠商站出來挑戰蘋果和Google,也才能讓整個市場進步更快速!
Herry Tirri先生,加油了!!

史帝夫老大說:Adobe太懶了!而Google的那句名言是:胡扯......
據說,在10年1月27日蘋果的iPad發表會之後,蘋果公司的執行長Steve Jobs在內部一場會議中,回應員工的問題時,以驚人的態度與用語提到與Adobe及Google相關的看法: 有關Google:蘋果並肥有進入搜尋市場,而是Google進入了手機市場,顯然Google想要消滅iPhone。蘋果不會讓這樣的事情發生。Google的名言:「不做壞事」,Steve Jobs說, “是胡扯” (bullshit,牛大便!?),[據不具名現場的員工描述]現場鼓噪不已! 有關Adobe:Steve Jobs認為Adobe有許多機會可以做有趣的事,但他們拒絕去做,他們“太懶了!”。他們沒有採取像蘋果曾做的方法(例如Carbon的系統底層解決方案)。蘋果不支援Flash的原因在於,Flash問題很多,存在太多的臭蟲(程式錯誤)。蘋果Mac電腦當機大都因為Flash。Steve Jobs認為在未來沒有人會用Flash,因為整個網路世界已經朝向HTML5的新方法前進。 這是嘲弄或是抱怨? 根據另外有關這場內部會議的資料來源,Steve Jobs對內表示: 看來外界對於蘋果與Adobe和Google之間的衝突與競爭的猜測,都是真的!
