imdb | http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0168122

pirates of silicon valley must be one of the best explanations of the start of microsoft and apple that you will come across. really opened you eyes to how these two titans of the scene today managed to work their magic into the digital space we have today. some really good advice for startups in here on how, when and what. a great film. if your a geek. ;0

 

the geek films that defined me [pt2] - antitrust (2001)

Something about antitrust, the fact that it clearly aims itself
directly at the time when microsoft was trying to take over the world
with their browser has heavy overtones in this movie. Very early
signs of startup culture, ethics and then this fantastic vision of
'synapse' this universal broadcast system that will work anywhere. we
race towards this today. oh, and slight spoiler, fibre installed in
each geeks house capturing what they are working on from their screens
via hd cameras. what! ahead of it's time. ;0
