So, today for the first time i watched this movie “the pirates of silicon valley” and i am shocked as to how bill gates stole the idea of GUI and Other features from Apple. While writing this i am not doing a background check on the movie but am assuming that all that shown is true.
This is simply unacceptable, i mean how bill gates, stoles the whole idea and now he is the world richest man in the world. Wholly crap, although many may argue that steve stole the original idea from xerox but they did that officially and everybody at the xerox knew what they were upto. But dear in this case only bill and his colleagues knew what they were upto.
Watching the movie i just come to know that how un canny and intelligent bill gates was and not only was he techie but also a cruel businessmen.
Can somebody please make a movie on the founders of Google, i am sure they too did the duping otherwise why would steve be mad at them and would want to go on a nuclear war with Google ?
I thought Jobs stole it from Zerox.
Well, as i said, everyone at the xerox knew that he was going to steal the idea, it all happened due to lack of concerns from the xerox authorities. My point here is that while Steve did what he did when everyone knew what he was doing, but what gates did was indeed betrayal!
really? everyone “stole” an idea from someone else. Our world is built on collaboration on others ideas. That is progress
Off-course there are few people in this world who do some original gig while the rest of the world copy the same and create in mass. Here also steve jobs had the original idea but gates stole the idea of GUI and other graphic related features as well as the mouse idea from him and implemented in his new operating system windows.
This post is to spread awareness about the original creator of the idea.
