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...

"The richest people in the world are thieves!"

You heard it here folks...

Yeah ... what was it ... "Good artists copy... Great artists steal"

Pretty messed up but look where both companies are now! LOL!

:rasta :winkwink:

also true :thumbsup

BTW ... hit me up dave... we never finally touched base after the other night

Hittin! :)

great movie, Bill Gates used to pay strippers to put their clothes back on :thumbsup

Did they have to do it slow and sexy?

:pimp

ask Bill :winkwink:

According to 12clicks i would never know Bill... Or as he I like to call him, Big Willy! He 'hates' that!

yeah I have read that thread :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

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.

ADG

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

I will watch it again:winkwink:

I watched this just the other week. good film

yep we have to thank xerox, they were way ahead those days

good stuff

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

Gates is a douchebag.

That whole movie is up on jewtube

He must have been in Portland. I have done the same.

LOL, hahahah

Never seen it. I think it would be interesting to see.

Yeah it was a good movie :thumbsup
