Andy Rubin, the father of Android: Steve Jobs's envy of jealous people

Andy Rubinrubin's home has a retinal scanner to give him the door.　　"Apple's father" Chobsrubin invented the smartphone sidekick.　　A robot made by Rubin.　　Rubin's helicopter model is controlled by computers and can take off automatically. This year China set off a "apple fever", the smartphone iphone, tablet computer ipad was a crazy grab, once sold goods. However, to the surprise of many, it is not the iphone but android that is the most popular smartphone in the home of Apple, the US market.　　And the growth of Android phones is a raspberry--a new 400,000 users are added every day in the world. Today, Android and its green Little robot logo have become as popular as Apple's iphone. Newsweek has commented that Android has sparked a revolution in the Mobile world and is reshaping the future wealth patterns of major technology companies around the globe. And the person who created this miracle is the "father of Android" Rubin. He worked for Apple and Microsoft in the 90 's, and is now Google's VP of Engineering, Android development leader, and many inventors of invention patents.　　In his 48-year geek life, he has been committed to presenting the coolest and most modern electronic products to the world. Rubin, the leader of Google's successful transition from a global search engine to the smartphone market, has left Microsoft's president, Steve Ballmer, and Apple's father, Jobs secretly jealous.　　Like Bill Gates, he stepped on the path to a broad it future, just when the road led to a personal computer, and today this path leads to or will replace the smartphone in full. Text/Lvyun smartphone fire up, but the last two or three years. However, back in the spring of 2002, Google's two founders, Larry Page and Sergey, were on their belts with a dazzling smartphone.　　No matter where they go, they can use the Internet, using their own search engine. It's sidekick.　　At the time, trendy people in the metropolis and Silicon Valley's electronics fans were keen to take the soap-shaped smartphone and flaunt it everywhere.　　Sidekick is more flexible than the BlackBerry, which is primarily used to send and receive mail, and is one of the first smartphones to seamlessly integrate the Internet, instant messaging, e-mail and other personal computer devices. This trendy gadget is Rubin's invention.　　From Internet TV, to digital cameras, to smartphones, to all kinds of robots, from Apple to Microsoft to the current Google, Rubin is always doing the coolest research in the coolest companies.　　The ultimate geek, drenched in playful cells, has been realizing a childhood electronic dream: if there are not enough cool toys in the world, I will make them myself. Apple employee a good thing changed his life 1963, Rubin was born in New York, USAState. His father was a psychologist, and later set up an electronic device Direct marketing company. After taking photos of the sales samples and putting them in the sales catalog, the electronic devices that completed the business mission became small Rubin's toys. His room is always full of the latest electronic products, he stayed in the house every day to dismantle and unload, enjoy.　　The Geek (Geek) gene is from this plant. After acquiring a bachelor's degree in computer Science from New York State Utica College in 1986, Rubin joined the Zeiss company, a well-known manufacturer of optical instruments, as a robotic engineer. Later he was sent to Switzerland by the company to take charge of another robot project.　　If it weren't for an adventure in Caimas, Is., Rubin said, he would have been happy to work for Zeiss all his life. 1989, Rubin traveled to Caimas, Is.. One morning, walking alone on the beach, he found himself sleeping in a chair. Rubin talked to the man and learned that he had quarreled with his girlfriend and was driven out of the seaside villa. The kind Rubin found him a place to live.　　In return, the man promised to introduce Rubin to his company, the company that was in the first heyday of the company. In this way, 26-year-old Rubin came to the Apple company.　　At that time, Apple was basically controlled by technicians, the management style more casual, all kinds of strange ideas flying. Rubin's main research and development in Apple, Apple's first tower computer Quadra and the history of a soft modem, are inseparable from his efforts. At first Apple, the playful Rubin had a prank: he reprogrammed the company's internal telephone system.　　As a result, his colleagues in the same group received a call from the company's CEO, John, claiming to give them special stock rewards. Making robots wander around Microsoft for 1990, Apple stripped its handheld computer and communications equipment division and set up a new company. Two years later, Rubin joined the new company. Here, he is fully integrated into the "work is life" of the engineer culture. He and several other colleagues got up at the top of the cubicle in the office, eating and living in the office for almost 24 hours, working around the clock to develop magic caps.　　This is a smartphone operating system and interface. General Magic had a brief success, and the first day of the company's IPO was doubled in 1995.　　But the concept of Magic cap was too advanced, and only a handful of producers and communications companies were able to accept it and were soon sentenced to death by the market. Rubin's research and development department was forced to disintegrate. Three Apple veterans have set up the Artemis Research and Development company, inviting Rubin to join. Rubin moved his bed into the office and continued to chase his dreams day and night.　　This time, he was involved in the development of the product is interactive Internet television WebTV, access to a number of communications patents, the product has hundreds of thousands of users, the successful realization of profits, annual income of more than 100 million U.S. dollars. 1997, Artemis Company was acquired by Microsoft. Rubin stays in the microSoft, silently exploring its own robot project.　　Do not change the polar nature of his scourge once again, so in the Geek won the Big Brother level of the lake status. He built a walking robot, with cameras and microphones, wandering around Microsoft and recording what he saw and heard. One weekend, Microsoft security personnel discovered that the computer that controls the robot was hacked.　　Although the hacker has not yet discovered that the computer is mobile and has a camera function, Rubin's dangerous approach is enough to enrage Microsoft's security team by asking Rubin to put the robot into the doghouse immediately. Boss Android name from science fiction 1999, Rubin left Microsoft and rented a retail store in the center of the Silicon Valley city of Palo, a laboratory filled with robots he had brought back from Japan.　　Here, Rubin and his engineers friends often party late into the night, thinking about the possibility of developing new products. They finally decided to make a device as big as a chocolate bar, for less than 10 dollars. Users can scan items and then send pictures online to discover information about them on the web platform. Rubin said the device was invented to create a "digital sponge" that would "suck" people back to the Internet.　　This is a cool idea, but the problem is that no one is willing to pay for it. Rubin and friends are not discouraged by smartphones and Google founders. They set up a company called Danger (Danger) to further refine the original invention, add wireless receivers and converters to the device, and name it sidekick to make it an Internet-accessible smartphone. Danger and subsequent Android have fully demonstrated Rubin's love of Robotics. Danger's name comes from the 60 's sweeping American space fantasy TV series "Lost Space". A robot in the play often sends out "danger!" (Danger!).　　) warning. At the beginning of 2002, Rubin lectured Silicon Valley engineers at Stanford University, during which he talked about the development of sidekick. His audience has two extraordinary characters-Google founder Larry Page and Sergey. It was the first time the two had been connected to Rubin. After class, page went to Rubin to check sidekick and found that Google had been listed as the default search engine. "That's cool.　　Peggy said heartily.　　As Rubin taught at Stanford, hand-held devices with mobile phones have been in the early stage, but the development of digital wireless networks has given new life to the device. Inspired by sidekick, Page soon had the idea of developing a Google phone and a mobile operating system platform. It was this idea that led him to a renewed affinity with Rubin.　　This is something. As CEO, not ideal, forced to resign to founder danger and as CEO of the process let Rubin completed from the engineer to the manager of the transformation. He began to think positively about how to develop a product and start from scratchStart to build a company. "We're all trying to think about marketing strategies, and that's the first time I've started this part of my brain."　　"said Rubin. In his efforts, danger company has found a model that combines the interests of mobile operators and handset makers.　　However, the company's operations are not ideal. In 2007, the danger board decided not to let Rubin be CEO. Rubin expressed respect for the Board's views and was also involved in finding successors. Mr Rubin resigned shortly after the new CEO took office. He claimed to have completed his mission in danger, hoping to move on.　　But, insiders say, Rubin was disappointed in the new management and left. Rubin ran to his old holiday blessed Caimas, Is. for a few months, where he began writing software to try to develop a digital camera.　　But the old question came again, and no one was willing to invest in the camera. For a spin, Rubin went back to the original idea of developing the next generation of smartphones. This time, he decided to set up a company called Android.　　Android.com is a domain name he has for years. The word Android first appeared in a science fiction "Future Eve" published by French writer Liriadan in 1886, and he named Android as a human-like machine.　　Rubin assembled a team of engineers and product planners with the goal of developing a mobile phone platform that is open to all software designers. "Father" the Android-born Rubin has poured all his savings into Android projects. But the problem of lack of money still encountered. He called his old friend, Portman, and told him he was a pauper.　　The Artemis was one of the oldest apples to be created. "When do you need money?"　　Asked Percy. "Right now!"　　Rubin answered. Apart, who ran to the bank and took 100 100 dollars from the ATM, went straight to Rubin's office and put a thick pile of money on his desk.　　Mr. Perkins lent Rubin 100,000 dollars to help Android complete its business plan. Soon, venture capitalists were interested in Android development projects and offered to buy Android. While talking to the acquirer, Rubin sent Ane-mail to one of Google's founders page, hinting that Android also had the potential to work with Google. A few weeks later, Google quickly acquired Android.　　Rubin became Google's vice president of engineering and continued to take charge of the Android project. "The world has Android, it doesn't need another platform," Google officially unveiled the operating system on November 5, 2007.　　Data from the end of 2010 show that Android, which is officially launched for three years, has overtaken Nokia's Symbian system, the world's most popular smartphone platform. Android is now booming, overtaking Apple as America's largest smartphone platform, but also the fastest growing user platform.　　According to a new statistic, the United States has a total of 72.5 million smartphone users, including Android phone users accounted for 34.7%, the remaining BlackBerry users and iphone users accounted for 27.1% and 25.5% respectively. At current rates, the agency predicts that Android will have 25% of the global smartphone market by 2014, compared with just 11% of Apple's share.　　Android-based tablets will also be a powerful competition for the ipad. Last year, Rubin said in an interview that the upcoming Microsoft Windows Phone 7 operating system: "The world has Android, there is no need for another platform." Because, this is an open and even free platform.　　"Android is a Linux based Open-source operating system compared to Apple's closed systems, and good engineers around the world can theoretically write new software for Android and magnify its possibilities." Android rivals currently have Apple's iOS and Microsoft's Windows Phone and RIM's BlackBerry OS system. Other operating systems such as Microsoft's Windows Mobile, mobile phones to Microsoft to pay the equivalent of 10% of the cost of mobile phone licence fees, Android is free open source to break some restrictions, in addition, mobile phone manufacturers and network operators to protect revenue, usually restricts users to use certain features and services,　　Android has no limits, and it can enjoy a lot of services like a computer surfing the Internet. Android "Is my greatest pleasure," Rubin once said, "That's my greatest pleasure." Without understanding Android, there is no understanding of Rubin's greatness.　　Newsweek has commented that Android has sparked a revolution in the Mobile world and is reshaping the future wealth patterns of major technology companies around the globe. Some media have likened Rubin to the next Bill Gates. In the 890 's, Apple and Microsoft competed for PCs. In the 2011, Apple and Google competed for smartphones, a scramble between the iphone and Android, and a scramble between Mr. Jobs and Rubin.　　The battle may be more important than the PC rivalry, as smartphones are the future laptops.　　Mr Gates, who pioneered the Windows platform for Microsoft to forge a "future path" to change the global IT industry, is now a pioneer in the new information age of smart-phone gold rush. Rubin has always worked to show the coolest things to people. "The motivation for me to move forward is that I can reach a lot of people through Android, and if 3.1 billion people are using mobile phones, that's a great way to reach people," he said. "The very Hakka have the most expensive doorbell on the kitchen cabinet of the Rubin's house there is aA long scar, a mark left by a laser-controlled Segway. At Rubin's home, computer technology is everywhere. He transformed the home theater system, and once the film was over, the living room lights would slowly light up.　　On the first floor of the Rubin House, there are several helicopter models, all controlled by computers, that can take off automatically. Rubin never had to go home with a key. In his mid-levels villa in Silicon Valley, he had a retinal scanner for his door. If the scanner recognizes someone, it automatically opens the door.　　Rubin joked that it was easy for his ex-girlfriends to enter the door. If the newcomer had to use the doorbell, he would witness another technical miracle: After the glass Hall, a manipulator grabbed a stick and struck a large gong.　　Although Rubin refused to disclose the cost, it is probably the world's most expensive doorbell. "It has nothing to do with cost. "It represents Rubin's consistent style: doing this just to enjoy the process, because it's cool," says Zaco Draganic, a former Apple colleague. All this contains a childlike innocence.　　"Rubin's love of consumer electronics has also spread to big toys – private cars, but this hobby is incompatible with the corporate culture advocated by Google against Overconsumption.　　Prior to Google's IPO in 2004, Wehn Rosin, vice president of engineering, waved a baseball racket at the company's convention, threatening to smash it with a baseball bat if he found that the car was more flashy than the BMW 3 series. After hearing the allusion, Rubin had to switch to a less flashy new car before entering Google. Rubin admits he's tangled. "I'm a fan of all the good mechanics, and Google doesn't encourage the obvious propensity to consume, so I have to wander between the two." "Both like electric torches, and also fascinated by writing programs Rubin is a representative of the Silicon Valley geek culture. "He is the kind of wizards that both like electric torches and are obsessed with writing programs and being good at business strategies.　　"Rubin's friend," said Mr. Perkins. Rubin has a number of patents, with three items a year, 2000 and 2008. The world's first wireless Pda--motorola sinks, the first soft modem are recorded in his credit book, not to mention WebTV, Sidekick, Android Great. In addition to the company's research and management team, Rubin likes to build mobile robots. In the California Museum of Science and Technology, you can see a number of robots that he makes.
