    Pirates of Silicon Valley

    I just watched it for the first time ... I know it's not new, but it's pretty awesome. Steve Wozniak (Apple Co-Founder/Inventor of the first Apple systems) even said he thought it was VERY accurate and that a lot of the stuff that went down really was that way. So it was interesting seeing how Apple and Microsoft came together and fought etc. Anyone else see it in the past and what you think?

    Interesting movie. Missing a lot of pieces of the real story, and over sensationalized other parts. Especially the part about Xerox and who was getting access to their stuff.

    All and all. Decent flick.

      I started watching interviews with the real people involved after on Youtube and it's such an interesting story. And in many cases, it was quite the drama! GFY would have had a field day! :D

        That movie helped solidify a quote of mine that will be famous...

                      Did they have to do it slow and sexy?

                              I saw it years ago and thought it was great. All of the roles were well casted.

                                I liked it. A little too hollywood for me, but it was a good story and well cast.

                                  The movie was cool at the time, don't know what I'd think of it now.

                                      the funny part is they made it seem like microsoft stole the design from apple which is what the apple lawsuit seemed to argue
                                      except microsoft hired away the engineers from parcs who came up with the gui to do a clean room implementation
                                      and that why they won tha lawsuit

                                                Saw this movie when it first came on TNT (or was it TBS?) ... either way, great flick.
