Pirates of the valley

Silicon Valley is the geographic place where the largest number of companies related to information technology exist. Although there have emerged and evolved many companies, no doubt the two companies that have played the largest role in popularizing the micro-computer (PC as we know them now), were Microsoft and Apple, who have been involved in a relationship love / hate. Its two founders are people who can arouse both admiration and hatred.

Since today was the last day of Bill Gates at Microsoft, and probably Steve Jobs, Apple will also be replaced, I think a fitting tribute to see what is undoubtedly the film that more accurately portrays the lives of these two pioneers of the micro computers, the movie is called “Pirates of Silicon Valley”, because in those early years, companies and their leaders were behaving like robbers, who robbed with impunity intellectual property of another, but now that they are rich defending the law.
