Imagine the world as we know without any of the attachments that have facilitated our modus vivendi in the last century. Imagine you could open a gap in time and space and had the power to amend certain important facts of the history of human development. Have Edison give up on the way two thousandth of how not to make a filament, and today, the streets and illuminated canopies cities like New York, Paris or Las Vegas would be utopia. Squeeze out all those scholars who ventured to analyze electrical phenomena since ancient times and today, they would have no cables in the streets, or outlets in homes. Hire
constantly Leonardo Da Vinci to paint portraits without stopping, thus distracting him from his studies of bird flight, and he never would draw any project for a "flying machine" and the passing of the centuries did encourage the Wright brothers to build the device, thus, today, still fumes would travel long distances and railways. Or just put to Steve Jobs (founder of Apple Computers) in the military and Bill Gates (founder of Microsoft Corporation) in a religious seminary, and today, more than one thing would be different. Still, listened to music in "cassettes" pirates would buy movies on VHS, we communicate via airmail to our relatives abroad, the picture would remain similar, we'd be as reliable sole option, to go to libraries in search of the task then we would write with the help of an old and rusty push mower. Gates
Convert to a priest wannabe dad (or rapist excommunicated, you never know ...) and Jobs in soldier war hero (or a traitor or disabled) and certainly all of the above, or even more, would be the daily bread. Of course not all would be relatively poor: the industries of music and movies suffer less monetarily, no doubt would have more job opportunities for carriers and photographers youth devote more quality time to their studies and healthy leisure activities, because ties exist vicious, stupefying and sedentary video games, the libraries would be more influx of people eager for knowledge, well ... And if we take more time to do these things in this bizarre parallel dimension, you see, not all would be relatively poor.

When we sit at a computer and turn it on, little or no know why it's there, in front of us. In the decade of the seventies, the big computer manufacturers like IBM, had no vision and no intention to create for use by ordinary people, as they felt that the complexity in the management, operation and maintenance of these devices was only level of understanding and economic strength of large companies and governments of powerful nations. Its objectives were geared specifically toward what is more profitable in the short term. Arguably, as businessmen were formidable, but not as visionaries.
not thought about the possibility of simplifying the complexity of computers and find ways to adapt them to perform simple tasks, create a striking new market. IBM did not think, even had the luxury of playing down, so it appeared on the scene two true visionaries who, over time, would become big rivals and then end up being great allies. I refer to the aforementioned gentlemen: Steve Jobs and Bill Gates. These guys dare to challenge the paradigms of its troubled times and claimed credit for bringing the computer age to the next level of overcrowding.
So many people admire, some to idolize them. However, very few are released to question them about the legitimacy of her creative process, their innovative initiatives, their initial projects. Among the criticisms are given to these two characters, we try to delve into one of the most significant and popular of recent times: that contained in the film by director Martyn Burke, "The Pirates of Silicon Valley." This film was based on the book "Fire in the Valley: The Making of a Personal Computer" by Paul Freiberger & Michael Swaine. [1]

Here are recounted the controversial and little mentioned facts that gave rise to computer giants Apple and Microsoft, all from the perspective of Steve Wosniak (former partner Jobs) and Paul Allen (a member of Gates). In short, the film expresses that both Jobs and Gates, somehow ended up plagiarizing most of the technological developments that presented the world as "own initiative".
Presented in the most simple, the most momentous events in this version of history were as follows: First, Apple will "steal" Xerox hardware support and graphical interface for use in its final draft, the Macintosh. Apple grew. Then see Microsoft and Apple offering its "innocent cooperation" to improve system worksheet, copy the Mac's graphical interface and coupling it with MS-DOS (originally called Q-DOS, which bought at a rate of $ 50.000 misaligned, nothing compared to the millions who would win) and its rudimentary hardware support, create a new system, Windows. Microsoft grew and over the years, has overtaken and absorbed to Apple in the market, so that today, approximately 90% of the population global computer has a PC with a Windows operating system (though often not legal).

In the film, rather than Bill Gates himself, the plot seems to be focused from the beginning to the end of Steve Jobs. This character is easily the most nuanced and interesting, not only for the image, to some extent, historical accounts but also for the human condition on which he focuses on several occasions, an individual with psychological problems caused by the absence of her biological mother in childhood. A young man who takes refuge in the free communities of hippies looking for the purpose of your life while challenges the status quo, have free sex and drug use. A guy who, lost in megalomaniac visions of infinite possibilities, are drawn to the edge of insanity that causes his sickly perfectionism.
regard, Wozniak said: "As I passed between the computer circuits, Steve was always on other worlds (...) Moreover, he liked to pick apples in Oregon." [2]
comes a moment in the life of the young Jobs in desperate feels uncertain what the future holds. However, his friend's genius for electronics Wozniak has him out of his depressive state and vision drives him to break the barriers and find ways to reach the top of the quickest and innovative.

adventure then look for financing to start business in Wozniak's garage. In the end, got $ 500,000 from the guardianship of the investor Mike Markkula, but before, he played several doors in banks which eventually reject him simply because of their sloppy appearance: Bearded, hairy, shirts colorful shorts torn jeans and a pair of leather sandals. Entire urban hippie.
then decides to take things seriously and attired for the occasion. In one scene, Wozniak was surprised to see him shaving, to what Jobs says, "banks do not like beards." [3] Same surprise when Apple introduced its technological pieces in a large computer fair and see Jobs in a suit. In short, everything was going well for Apple Computers, and after two years, moved from the old garage to a spacious and modern facilities in the Silicon Valley area name area south of San Francisco Bay, in northern California. [4]
same are presented in the plot, the events that are linked to Bill Gates. You see him, and his childhood friend Paul Allen, as Harvard students. Like most college students do not envision their future well, they are seen playing poker games, partying and getting drunk beyond measure.

But these actions without direction suddenly disappear because of the passion of two friends in computers since childhood, which leads them to Albuquerque after learning in the magazine Popular Electronics, a type who built the first computer minimized (called ALTAIR) and is seeking a language to function.
Young Bill, despite its innocent appearance "nerd" and his bad luck with women in other areas hated to lose and possessed a tremendous power of persuasion: the perfect skills of a good salesman. The film is shown, repeatedly, using many tricks to achieve its business objectives when Microsoft was still in office imitations.

got to the point to outwit the giant IBM, convincing them that they had developed an operating system that would be interested, as he did not even exist yet.
Indeed, Gates was not disturbed in comparison with Jobs. By the time you come in contact with him and convince him play his loyalty to Apple, is shown calm and unchanging, with the patience pernicious a viper, which pushes your buttons to Jobs, it is used to get even with them all and rave as he at times of extreme pressure.

After this ordeal, Steve Bill betrays the premise of Picasso: "good artists copy, great steal", and as is publicly known, who wins the battle personal computers.
The film is quite precise about the sequence of events and know the focus of the viewer in the details they want to watch. It does this in a manner so blatantly explicit, as if he were explaining a child, that even for a moment out their characters in the plot and placed in a level of direct communication with the viewer. This item is ironically funny, but no less striking that the final film is what every film intended.
A perspective that it is worth analyzing, perfect for those who are passionate about conspiracy theories and those who always seek to go beyond what we all perceive.
