The Pirates of Silicon Valley

[marianozz]

lol.... its on tv again... finally ill watch it whole in one watch...

(yes, im having that exciting of a friday :rolleyes: )




So, i wonder how accurate it is? :confused: :)

[ItsNoot]

If it paints Gates as Teh Debil and Jobs as Teh Dimbass than it's accurate enough for me.

(never seen it)

It's actually pretty accurate, as far as historical events go, of course, there are some private convresations between Gates and Jobs that they either used heresay for or just plain made up, as niether one had anything to do with the movie :P :D

One of the original Microsoft dudes, can't remember his name, was a consultant on it, so it has some accuracy.

It's a decent movie all in all, I knew most all of the story before I saw the movie, so it was no big deal to me, but it will probably have some surprises in it, heh.

And yes, Noot, it pretty much makes Gates out to be a manipulative shit, and Jobs as the dimbass falling for it :evil:

[marianozz]

It paints Gates as a guy i wouldnt even talk to, Jobs as a guy id love to take punches at, and Wojzniack (sp???) as a guy id go have a few beers with :)

lol....

Its a hollywood movie you dimbass........

bears no resemblance to 100% of the actual facts......

The Microsot dood was probably paid a healthy sum of money to put his name on the credits..... which doesnt mean squat

Never said it was 100% accurate you dombass.....

Wtf is your problem lately?

Of course it's accurate in some historical events, such as Jobs and Gates stealing Zerox's menu concept, Jobs confronting Gates at the expo about MS ripping off the Mac GUI. These things never happened?

I never said it meant squat, just that someone was a cunsultant. If you don't know anything about it, stay out of the conversation.

And Marrionozz, if your interested in Wozniak, this is an interesting site; http://apple2history.org/history/ah07.html

Has some interesting history on computers in general as well as Apple and Mac.
