**quiet** · 09-10-2007, 10:27 AM

**Penthouse Tony** · 09-10-2007, 10:29 AM

Didn't Xerox researchers invite Steve Jobs to PARC after the suits east coast didn't want anything to do with what they developed?

**tranza** · 09-10-2007, 10:31 AM

Nice find man, I enjoyed watching that movie...

**royaljelly2** · 09-10-2007, 10:32 AM

How is watching this movie on google video different than a torrent?

**just a punk** · 09-10-2007, 10:55 AM

That's a good movie. I saw it just about a year ago. And yes, m$ and apple stole many ideas from other companies.

**tony286** · 09-10-2007, 10:58 AM

I loved in that movie,how they portrayed Steve Ballmer as this big dumb jock and he was far from that. I read in a article Bill Gates loves to do an impression of Michael Anthony Hall being him.

**clicker** · 09-10-2007, 11:03 AM

Thanks for sharing. I will be enjoying this later tonight.

Watching that movie, along with the recent interview of Bill and Steve together makes you realize that Bill is a smart businessman and Steve is a creative genious...

Google must have a great legal team. I saw Ratatoulle on Google Video. Insanity!

**DaddyHalbucks** · 09-10-2007, 11:21 AM

If the government antitrust and anticompetitive allegations were true, Bill Gates would be the world's biggest white collar criminal.

Why was he never charged criminally?

**KILL_FRENZY** · 09-10-2007, 02:06 PM

seen it an year ago . really interesting

**KimJIisEbusDK** · 09-10-2007, 02:10 PM

Wow no one cares that this movie is available for rental yet people are watching it for free? Amazing hypocrisy around these parts.

**Evil E** · 09-10-2007, 02:15 PM

I also saw it when it came out.. pretty interesting. Xerox RnD made a lot of very important technological inventions that you are using right now.

That's been common knowledge for quite a while now. Like more than a decade.

If it makes anybody happy I'll skip a spot in my netflix rotation..

Great point and goes to what I have said a few times.... the fight isn't just against torrents... it's against google, yahoo, myspace, facebook, youtube, etc etc.... there is sooooooooo much more to this than adult content being pilfered.

**fallenmuffin** · 09-10-2007, 04:41 PM

I loved that movie. Watched it on TNT when it first came out and still have it on VHS recording lol yeah thats how old that movie is.

Wrong!
Apple came back up because Steve Jobs came back.

**fuzebox** · 09-10-2007, 05:58 PM

Classic movie

I love when Steve Jobs freaks out and has the classical music playing and is screaming at Bill Gates...

Actually we all have IBM to thank for the PC. they invented it, and then gave it away.

**WinstonTriplexcash** · 09-10-2007, 09:23 PM

Great movie. Just goes to show that its all that acid can affect you in the future.

GUI though was a massive upgrade... IBM was pumpin out paper full of holes not too long before that...

Thanks Xerox

wozniak(sp?) should get the most credit out of all of them for the PC though...
