Torticollis Before And After

Tetris - A little game in a big world

Here I will once you tell the story of the computer game Tetris, and it's a real thriller.

It is also so interesting because it is really a wonderful image of the confrontation with the concepts of property, rights, benefits between the two great ideological blocs of the Cold War. That Robert Stein, who fills his pockets and the Russians can get nothing of that media mogul Maxwell, who says one of the richest men with international connections, he stood before all and that little Roberts, who at the end as credible range and most honest candidate in the preference given to the Russians. And there's that Gilman Louie, the Tetris acquire licenses for the U.S. market, not even once striking, but a rocket-like rise in the U.S. intelligence agencies makes responsible for a mass infiltration of IT companies by the secret services as Facebook.

It's a bit reminiscent of the White , which spread across the American continent, all down to himself and the Indians ignored led or deceived. There many other similar incidents in the 3rd World. Some are "stone-rich, others used the stolen goods and the real owners looked in the tube.

Those who have developed a thing actually stand at the back of , rake in some sharks on the other hand "unearned income" over a more or less clean recovery chain. It is often spoken of the banksters, in this case a history of the times rake in Soft-Mafia based on usage rights. this clash of the two systems and the ideologies of East and West Block just before the fall of the wall 89 and the small of a simple little game: Tetris!

This game was developed by a programmer named Alexey Paschitnow in the summer of 1984 in Academy of Sciences in Moscow and spread very quickly in the Soviet bloc.

Robert Stein of the British software company Andromeda discovered the game in Hungary . The socialist side, however, comes with the problem owner, usage rights, licenses, user, etc. not much because it did not fit into the communist ideology. Stein interprets these ambiguous status as a commitment and take sales calls with the British media giant Maxwell (Mirror Soft) and the U.S. companies on Spectrum Holobyte, which was founded by a certain Gilman Louie 1983 .

This Gilman Louie is 10 years after the fall of a great career with the U.S. intelligence agencies do . The U.S. intelligence found In-Q-Tel 1999 with the aim of infiltration of modern information technology company special, young entrepreneurs as eg Facebook and he is director.

Its excellence (for national security, of course ;-) he gets big awards in 2006:

• 2007 Order of the Silver Helmet, Delta Sigma Pi .
• 2006 Director's Award by the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency , Porter Goss , for his service in creating In-Q-Tel and providing service to the intelligence community.

This is shortly after the deal to Keyhole (now Google Earth ) and after it for 12.7 million U.S. dollars, the company Facebook in May 2005, financed by venture capitalists Accel Partners. And only so is Facebook really high.

The official list of intelligence-investment in IT companies about the company In-Q-Tel leads as yet on the following companies: http://en

. wikipedia.org / wiki / In-Q-Tel # Selected_investments

I think at first glance as Keyhole, now calls itself the Google Earth or Kofax which now belongs to the DICOM group and dealt with the mass scanning of paper documents. Reminds me of the story Xerox, which one could prove that they secretly hidden in high-resolution documents user registration information . As we watch the young company Recorded Future that deals with "predictive analysis", ie, of predicting the future based on past processes:

Both Google (on May 3, 2010) ^[4] and the CIA have invested in the company, through their investment arms, Google Ventures and In-Q-Tel , respectively.

Google is not quite harmless, right? financed For some time, Google and developers in Freenet and then you can already imagine how "secure" this is really encrypted network today.

the way, the original relationships of Facebook with In-Q-Tel for the purpose of "data mining" was formerly in the German Wikipedia and were then deleted. Links of other products now point to a text in which it is claimed that Iran 2009 Facebook - abusing profiles to explore regime opponents and their network of contacts.

Here, for example, an article the Kopp-publishing the still refers to the original text in the segment "Nutzung_durch_Nachrichtendienste_und_Polizei" of the Facebook entry:

>> that Gilman Louie CEO In-Q-Tel . It is known that these company was founded in 1999 by the CIA with the goal of data mining based .

come back, but we on Tetris and Spectrum Holobyte. As is so thrown as a computer game Tetris by Maxwell (UK) and Spectrum (USA) on the market, Andromeda poses as royalty justified, but it did not affect the unclear situation with the Russians to clarify. For the first time earn money! The Soviets got the thing but when the first games in circulation and rely on software from stone Elorg marketing firm. It is made a letter, obtained in the stone said to have the rights to Tetris, but it was the best speech of PCs, not games consoles. He collected more fees from Maxwell and Hollobyte, but the Russians continue to see nothing of the money.

Maxwell, however, is the belief that the rights legally acquired from stone to have and is aimed at Atari that spice up this game for game consoles. Nintendo Japan is aware of this game at a trade show and in turn starts the game for their first Game Boy to develop. one wants to protect the legal page and submits a Henk Roberts to clarify the matter. Licensing starts in a chain of Andromeda about Mirrorsoft by Nintendo. Somewhere but just Henk Roberts realized that the thing is somehow not quite clean and in order to secure the licensing rights for Nintendo, he just flies to Moscow. The other two big players, stone (Andromeda) and Kevin Maxwell (son of the founder), but appear coincidentally there. Allen was somehow seems clear: There's something wrong and now everyone wanted to catch the big fish among the Russians. The Russian Ministry summoned one by one: Roberts, Stone, Maxwell. Roberts was unaware and shocked that the licenses were not very clear and promised the Russians any cooperation that the matter would be resolved as quickly as possible. Stein pointed out that he has so far not Money has been transferred , got further into a new contract presented and emphasized the determination on the device class PC, which he does not notice and the arrogant Maxwell said that because his company is so big and his father had connections with Gorbachev, he would almost automatically make the race. Maxwell, however, went away empty-handed! Roberts, however, also saw himself with AlexJ Paschitnow well enthusiasm for the game itself was significant, whereas the other two it was really great just to 's business. The rights for the games consoles went to Roberts and that Nintendo, in the whole game was probably the most honest of all. Maxwell and Atari had a immense defeat retracted because it was a small game that went around the world in which everyone wanted to be rich.

Maxwell tried in March 89 to bring the policy into the big game and to blackmail Belikow: "If Gorbachev comes to a state visit to England, then ...." The Soviets said Belikow that he would be held responsible if this would cause a scandal. Belikow suddenly sat between all fronts, and said: "I feel like someone who is a tanker to stay with her bare hands!" Atari began a lawsuit against Nintendo in the Belikow testified as a witness. Atari lost the case and had already finished games consoles 100.000de scrapped. Maxwell also came to stand the matter extremely expensive. Robert Maxwell, the founder, was deeply in debt and jumped off his yacht into the water. For Atari, it was one of the reasons for the decline.

Nintendo would pay $ 1 / 2 million dollars and half dollars for every game sold at Elorg, Paschitnow sees nothing of it.

While Maxwell jumped into the water, Paschitnow emigrated from the U.S. in 1991 and founded Rogers The Tetris Corp.. similar games developed. He found himself in this new world do not deal well and was considering returning to Russia. 1996 were the contracts and he first saw few pennies for his game, but the big-time Tetris was over.

1996 - 2005 he worked at Microsoft in Seattle as a game developer.

millionaires were others, particularly those who did with stolen goods, the big money.

Here is a very interesting BBC documentary (English) from the year 2004:
