06.Jan.2001 Christoph Dietz |
CES: Interview with TAO's CEO Francis Charig As already reported, Christoph Dietz flew to Las Vegas for amiga-news.de to attend and report directly from the CES. Here's the interview he had with the CEO of TAO, the software partner of Amiga Inc.:
Amiga-News: Good morning Francis and thank you for the opportunity of this interview. Francis Charig: It's a pleasure for me either! Amiga-News: Let's start with some basic questions. How old are you and where are you born? Francis Charig: Unfortunately I'm 40 years old. I was born in Oxted by London. Amiga-News: Sure you are married and have children? Francis Charig: Yes, my wife is Japanese and we have two boys. One is six and the other will be three in February. Amiga-News: When and where was TAO (pronounced: DAO) founded? Francis Charig: TAO was founded in 1992 in Bracknell nearby Reading, England. Until 1995 it was a virtual company, located in a bedroom. Amiga-News: How many people are working for TAO? Francis Charig: About 70 people. More then 50 of them are in the software department. They are coming from three major groups: the Video games industry, the Blue Chip Industry and we selected the best directly from the universities, Stanford for example. Amiga-News: What's your position at TAO? Francis Charig: I'm the chairman of TAO. TAO is not a public company. Sony and Motorola together own 30% of TAO. If TAO would be a public company, its market value would be about $100.000.000. Nowadays Amiga Inc. is our most important partner. Amiga-News: Do you remember your greatest success? Francis Charig: Of course, it was to bring this exiting engineering team together. These people are incredible. We only had a fluctuation of two people in the last 2 1/2 years. Amiga-News: What was the worst day in TAO's history? Francis Charig: [Thinks long] it was to loose business with our investor from the blue chip industry in 1995 while we had no customers. Amiga-News: When did you had "First contact" with Bill McEwen? Francis Charig: It was in October 1999. We introduced him to investors after he decided to use our software for the new Amiga. In fact: TAO saved Amiga. Amiga-News: Are you familiar with Amiga's history? Francis Charig: Yes, I know about it all. I know about Commodore, Escom, VisCorp, Gateway and all these things. I still have my Amiga, but unfortunately it's standing in the attic. Also my nephew used the Amiga. I loved gaming on it, e.g. BrakeOut. Amiga-News: Can you describe the new OS with only three words? Francis Charig: Consumer Multimedia Stack Amiga-News: When will the new Amiga-OS be ready, in Q3/2001? Francis Charig: Of course not! Someone in the next half year! Amiga-News: We are just a few days in the New Year. Do you have a wish for this year? Francis Charig: *Joking* Retirement. No, I wish that TAO would be successful in all of the key markets. Amiga-News: Is the existing Amiga community important for you? Francis Charig: Yes. The Amiga community provides ones of the best engineers and artist. There is more multimedia skill in the Amiga community than in the PC-World. But there is a discussion if memory protection is needed or not. I want to explain TAO's point of view. For what is memory protection needed? To prevent bad programmed software from crashing the computer. That means that it leads into bad programming. But the software for AmigaDE will run on your desktop but also on your mobile or in your car. Mobiles for example don't have memory protection. Are they crashing? No, the software for them is well programmed. If we add memory protection we have to have a very, very good reason. Because it slows down the operating system. Our goal is to deliver the best multimedia-operating stack. This also means speed! Amiga-News: Some words to the community? Francis Charig: We can make Amiga great together. To be great we have to lead the world. Amiga is delivering the best content to the mass market. If we always remember that, we can achieve. Amiga-News: Thank you for this interview and have a successful stay at the CES. Francis Charig: It was a pleasure to me. Thank you! Contact Information TAO Group

Heise: CES: The Computer Sector Deals in Entertainment Electronics «On Saturday at 19 o'clock MET the Consumer Electronic Show (CES), the world's biggest annual entertainment electronics fair is opening its doors in Las Vegas. One and a half hour before, Bill Gates will hold his keynote, which he will - as known by now - change on the birth hour of his new favourite, the game console XBox. Though this will be no more surprise to anybody, but there are a lot more things to discover at the CES: After all there are 1800 exhibitors at the start this year and in addition to this there is a "frame program" at the fair with over 100 presentations with about 300 experts. 110.000 visitors are expected from over 100 countries. The fair was first held back 1967 with some modest 200 exhibitors and 17.500 visitors.» Christoph Dietz of amiga-news.de has flown to Las Vegas to report to our readers from the fair and to cover us with pictures. In addition he has arranged for some interesting interviews. You can expect interesting news. [News message: 06.

Corinna Cohn. Interviewed Bill McEwen Corinna Cohn. called up Bill McEwen, to clear up some rumors as much as possible. McEwen answered her some questions. Here a summary of what Bill McEwen answered:
"Amiga does not have a product that I as an Amiga user would necessarily want, but that I as a computer geek might dig. We Amiga users are a technological launching platform for a new, possibly cool technology, and Amiga wants us to continue to pay attention to them until its ready. This explains 3.5 and 3.9, and it explains the early appearance of the developers kit. Amiga is going to continue to blow us kisses until they have something to impress us with or until they run out of money." The computer industry is in an extremely hard competition. Even if it may be difficult for us at times not to lose our faith that Amiga Inc. will achieve what they have planned. It is worth acknowledging that they are obviously not willed to throw in the towel even though it would be easier and more promising to develop tools for another famous OS ... [News message: 05.

Music: Psyria Dennis Lohr 'Psyria' has been making music as a hobby for six years. he started with an A500 and Protracker 2.3a. Currently, he still creates his music mainly on the Amiga, but he uses the Digibooster today. He expresses his enthusiasm about the Digibooster like this: "For all Amigans who make music as well: have a look at that thing! There probably is no better tracker for the Amiga!" Many of his songs (trance, techno, dancefloor, and pop) are available for download on his website at the title link. The website was entirely reworked lately. [News message: 05.

VirusHelp Denmark: Update of xvs.library Yesterday, an update to the xvs.library was released which can recognize the trojans "4kIntro Trojan" and Dkg-Blum Trojan. If you're using VirusChecker, VirusExecutor or VirusZ, make sure to update the library. Some information on the release: Name...: xvs.library v33.24 Archive name: xvslibrary.lha Archiv size: 52.734 Bytes Date: January 4th, 2001 Programmer: Alex van Niel News for 33.24: - 4kIntro Trojan added Thanks to Ryben Kozlak and Jan Andersen - Dkg-Blum Trojan added Thanks to Peter Gordon, Urban Müller and Jan Andersen NOTE: This trojan also replaces/deletes or adds a file called asi.library XVS will not (yet) be able to detect this file because as far as I could analyze it, it looked like a normal VideoTracker file. If XVS would have to see this as a virus, more VideoTracker files will be fake detected. If you have problems or want this added anyway let me know. STILL TO DO: - Add Neurotic Death 2 and Neurotic Death 4. These two linkviruses are polymorphic, but crash on my system if I try to infect some test files. It seems that they haven't been spread to the public, I received them anonymously from the author. So it's not that BIG danger at the moment. - Try to get and add GlobVec linkvirus. The only one who has it is Heiner Schneegold (author of VT-Schutz) and VTC Hamburg, but Heiner doesn't give his permission to the VTC to send me the virus :( [News message: 05.
