- foolfromhell, on 10/12/2007, -5/+96You do know that this is a true, professional movie?
Its not a "wannabee" movie. - DolphinGL, on 10/12/2007, -6/+57This movie should be shown in schools.
- mrfreeziexp, on 10/12/2007, -4/+37No, I actually think you can..
No need for the "/sarcasm" tag. - euphemizeme, on 10/12/2007, -14/+46If Steve Jobs opened a kissing booth he could earn more money off of Digg users alone than if he sold a billion iPods.

direct link - Brightside, on 10/12/2007, -2/+30For anyone who doesn't know.
The guy who plays Ballmer == Voice of Bender (John DiMaggio) - robshoy, on 10/12/2007, -2/+26I'M STANDING... IN A FIELD OF WHEAT! I'M CONDUCTING CLASSICAL MUSIC!
- CrazyNorman, on 10/12/2007, -3/+26or the bulldozer
- intellimouse, on 10/12/2007, -4/+24My favorite part of this movie is when Steve Jobs is behaving like a petulant child. Oh wait, that's the whole movie.
- xbertox, on 10/12/2007, -4/+24I saw this movie when i was in school... in my computers class, go figure... good movie though
- vsaint, on 10/12/2007, -6/+26More like "The Steve Jobs is a dickhole story"
- WinGeek, on 10/15/2008, -4/+23"fortran... ohhhh fortran...." - Steve Balmer
- Snakedal337, on 10/12/2007, -4/+23They showed it in my comp class also, really really good movie.
- fuge, on 10/12/2007, -2/+19Bill Gates on pickup lines- "You must have really great bandwidth." - classic.
I don't know how that line didn't work for him. - Samuraii, on 10/12/2007, -4/+20A "/irony" tag would have been even better.
- HideoKojima, on 10/12/2007, -3/+17And in real life.
- Hindu_Wardrobe, on 10/12/2007, -4/+17I love this movie. Very interesting. And it has a lot of funny parts, which is always good.
- brian1625, on 10/12/2007, -4/+16yeah that was the idea; it's called a docudrama.
- WaltJabsco, on 10/12/2007, -4/+15Saw it in my Macro-economics class :P
The whole corporate battle thing, technology revolution, you know. - brian1625, on 10/12/2007, -3/+14To quote Steve Jobs at the Harvard graduation.
"...stay young and foolish" - brian1625, on 10/12/2007, -5/+15The scene that's portrayed in the movie.

Here's the actor that played Steve Jobs at MacWorld 1999
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TIClAanU7Os - jonohull, on 10/12/2007, -7/+16If everyone is going to watch this for free, you might as well download a real full-resolution version. I don't get how people can watch movies on GV or YouTube.
- oneshare325, on 10/12/2007, -6/+14It is available on DVD if you guys wanted a high quality version....
http://www.amazon.com/Pirates-Silicon-Valley-Anthony-Michael/dp/B0009NSCS0 - CrazyNorman, on 10/12/2007, -3/+9That's pretty important history as far as modern operating systems go. You should probably know it.
- striker1211, on 10/12/2007, -7/+12This is as much a documentary as titanic. Entertaining movie though.
- MechaFenris, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7He was just as big a prick as Gates.
And look at the two companies now... bigger than the GDP of most countries in revenue and sales alone (forget land holdings and employee counts) - applebyte, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5The real story on which the movie is based...
http://youtube.com/watch?v=-xS48BkBl1o - rompom7, on 10/12/2007, -4/+9@tfelder: As far as I know, it isn't a big deal, digg can't get sued for having a link to it, YouTube will have it taken down well before any kind of legal pressure. And I'm pretty sure that if there was any concern it would've been taken down months ago.
It might not even be pirated, it might be public domain or under a public domain license (Creative Commons, or similar). - brian1625, on 10/12/2007, -7/+12Yeah, this is an excellent movie. Originally the MP4 version on Google came without sound, I pointed it out and someone fixed it. Now it's on my Vipod, because what better place to watch it? ;)
MP4: http://vp.video.google.com/videodownload?version=0&secureurl=twAAAOi4QoYa9dcphooS2YwYtArrwUXMVSy3ms9QjygGP1mcyvVUUiSmFguFad_NWVhrgnIX0F-LBqoFVNnAaxWjbzVylEnhqOD2EVWb9xdgUyeoVPFCUe2CRdu3vZGhV-YhqVeTmbIIQfKItDcdOSsICJ98ep7Qqdugw3DrQBk-eGLAXirBoe6_9SVtYoR22FPz406jmI6WyKvHLTUZBFQVbBihQtXLx7vOj-Ni6vBcPMr4-2fvhK4sr_8S1s4vmhPUEA&sigh=vh2mg5xujZOWtPa3ALNb8VZStRc&begin=0&len=5810956&docid=7941901498664355924 - nesdude, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6Funny that this is on the front page now, our teacher treated us to this movie in our AP Java class on Friday. Liked it so much, I bought the DVD. Highly recommended.
- marnaq, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5They are boo-ing at the announcement of MSIE on Mac. Hilarious.
- Erik1, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Who was that guy that Microsoft bought the operating system from? around 52:00...
- Wynner3, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4I already have this stashed away in my old vhs collection. Good movie, I like the actors.
- striker1211, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Thanks mechafenris, i was gonna buy it but its $20 even on amazon used.
- Malachai77, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Well that's a good question on the software buy... I was trying to figure it out myself also... Other thing I just pissed me off how Steve treated his employees... That's what happens when you want so much and you're to hard headed... I guess that's how must companys work...
- SilentSpyder, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2You're stealing from US!
- MechaFenris, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Indeed... it focused on a microcosm of the early days ("Fire in the Valley", the book that the movie's based on, is more detailed...) But if you want to read some really interesting information about the golden age of computers, read the book "On the Edge: The Spectacular Rise and Fall of Commodore" by Brian Bagnall.
It fills in the gaps between the "Apple/Microsoft" rivalry... The book goes into detail of the dawn of the PET and the C= 64, plus all the drama in between and up to the end of its life post-Amiga era. It's told from the perspective of most of the engineers who were at Commodore during this time period, and doesn't speculate too much between narratives, letting the participants tell their story unaccompanied. - Gatesophile, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3it's shown in my school in Computer Repair.
- SoundScape, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Does anyone know if the DVD is available in Australia (or anywhere, for that matter)?
This is one of my favourite films of all time. - jordanhass, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I think my favorite quote in the movie:
"I DON'T WANT HER NAME TO BE RAINBOW!" - Steve Jobs. - insovietrussia, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I haven't watched the movie yet, but it may have been Gary Kildall.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_Kildall - mikae1, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2600 MB .avi here: http://vp.video.google.com/videodownload?version=0&secureurl=twAAAOi4QoYa9dcphooS2YwYtArrwUXMVSy3ms9QjygGP1mc3Al4VUDxAM6a4XbXWoEdFGQmxx2UtRZnwrxioRHAOOLY9exyElB_rZwPqnU9Kc4m2g-3OL3WZoCWMJaxhmVbNwMCEDyk9b06j2C5RlaEBJwVsKIzkkNZe69XsrdKRj8vvpPl_LH2TK3NBkuwZVZaYoo7e8BUcWcygovMs5Z09B0h5TxzPIbyY_j7GvPgKatbjl68QhcjtVkUFr2U_EV_Vg&sigh=m-HsHL-nXWM7DtLvszvXq61DpMw&begin=0&len=5810956&docid=7941901498664355924
- UnknownX11, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I just got this movie from Netflix about 2 weeks ago lol. Great movie.
- graemee, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4Bulldozer FTW
I like to think he has one next to the sportscars in the garage. Takes it out for a spin once and a while. - hiro, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I watched it last yr and it was freely available on Bittorrent at that time
Edit: Yep here you go http://www.demonoid.com/files/details/1036989/21633309/ - NWFackler, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3I JUST got done watching this movie chopped up in ten videos on You Tube! damn it.
- yardline, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3For an even better scope on the start of modern tech check out the PBS show "Triumph of the Nerds." Most college libraries have it.
- tiller, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Are there any other movies, docudramas, documentaries, etc. that cover the computer world like this? (That is other than the BBC Documentary, and Revenge of the Nerds) This is my favourite movie.
