Hello boys and girls here is a new flash ! Just happen today might be another boring weekend for in this terrible weather of the overcast sky in Bangkok. The thought of the family get together has already put me into a depression conundrum far worse than the weather already. Anyway the good news to you all is some dude in Ireland was kind enough to upload one of my all time favorite movie, Pirate of Silicon Valley. Many of you might despise my ,off the chart geek meter, blog today. However I must protest and recommend you to really see this movie. Even though the budget and the script writing might not share the same calibre as Wall Street. However I can assure you that the nostalgia element in this movie really did capture the cut throat nature of computing business in the earlier 80's.
So if you might not care about all those computing mumo jumbles, at least I believe that you will get a great kick of how Steve Jobs and Bill Gates business relationship was like before Bill strike gold on Windows, let just say somebody got owned like a little bitch in those pre dotcom hay day! So I would highly recommend for any one who is a aficionado of business drama to really enjoy this movie. Before you click that youtube button here is a little prelude information about the premise of the film.
Pirates of Silicon Valley (1999) is an unauthorized made-for-television docudrama written and directed by Martyn Burke. Based upon the book, Fire in the Valley: The Making of The Personal Computer, by Paul Freiberger and Michael Swaine, this film documents the rise of the home computer/personal computer through the rivalry between Apple Computer (Apple II and the Apple Macintosh) and Microsoft (DOS, IBM PC, and Windows).The central story of the film begins in the early 1970s and ends in 1985 when Steve Jobs resigned from Apple Computer. The film is also structured by a set of "book ends": it begins and ends with Jobs' return to Apple in 1997.
