Jobs once denounced Android founder: Arrogant Bastard

Steve Jobs, the late Apple legend founder, hated Android as a well-known thing, he threatened to use all the money in Apple's bank to fight a "thermonuclear war" with the latter, according to BusinessInsider, a news website. Mr Jobs, as the saying goes, is naturally not friendly to the founders of Android, and even insults the dog as "arrogant bastards". Fred Vogelstein, editor of Wired magazine, Fried Fogueres in his new book, "The Battle of the Apple-Google War and its revolution", that Jobs had abused Android founder Rubin (Andy Rubin) as "arrogant bastard" in front of friends. The new book revealed that Google had secretly developed the Android system when Apple released its first iphone in 2007. Google spent $50 million in 2005 to buy Android, which is still in its infancy, and to attract its founder, Rubin. But when Rubin saw the iphone launch, he realised he wanted to rethink the Android plan. At that time, Rubin was in Las Vegas, watching the iphone press conference on his car, and he even asked the driver to pull over to get a full view of the conference. After that, Rubin said, "Oh, my God!" I don't think we're going to release that phone. "We know Apple is going to launch a mobile phone, but we just didn't think it would be such a good product," said Ethan Beard, head of early development in Android business, Essen Belde. "Google originally planned to launch Android at the end of the year, but it's only as bad as the iphone, so it's worth postponing the release date." "The iphone makes us look senile, just like 90 years old," says one Android engineer. The Android team stepped up work and eventually joined HTC in launching the first Android smartphone G1. While Android was not as good as the iphone, the similarity was enough to annoy jobs. "Android is stealing everything we do," Jobs said in a foul language. At the time, Mr. Jobs and Larry Page and Sergey (Sergey Brin), the two founder of Google, have a good personal relationship, and then Google CEO Eric Schmidt or Apple board members. Three Google bosses have repeatedly told Mr. Jobs that Android is very different from the iphone, but not only that, but also that the trust has been maintained to Android. Mr. Jobs led the iphone software Director, Scott Fostel Scott Forstall, to meet senior Google executives such as page and Rubin to make more adjustments. But the meeting was not known to outsiders, but it was filled with gunpowder.Taste。 One Apple executive revealed that Mr. Jobs was too personal in the matter, accusing Rubin of being a hindrance to innovation and mocking him with the same hairstyle and glasses. According to the new book, Apple finally got what it wanted from the meeting, and Google did not add some Multi-Touch functionality to Android and changed the way it understood locks. Jobs not only told Google what not to do, but also personally guided. Mr. Rubin, frustrated with his boss's resignation, believes he has enough evidence that Apple's so-called innovation is not the company's original, and he even thought of leaving. Eventually, however, Rubin helped Google make Android the smartphone market overlord, with shipments already accounting for 80%.
