Commentary: Pirates of Silicon Valley

Posted: April 26th, 2009 | Author: Spoofy | Filed under: Commentary | Tags: , , | 1 Comment »

I just finished watching Pirates of Silicon Valley. Undeniably Steve Jobs came out pretty poorly from the film.

From the cult of personality that Jobs would appear to have been fostering, to the abandonment of his child, Bill Gates and Microsoft came out pretty much unscathed. There were some dirty business tactics, that much is true, but nothing so damning.

Docu-drama of course, this should be taken with a pinch of salt, but wikipedia seems to verify much of the details. I’ve always been highly suspicious of the apparent cult of mac and its been quite unclear where it started, this film definitely explained that aspect of Apple for me.

Have you watched Pirates of Silicon Valley? What were your thoughts?
