REVIEW OF MOVIE "PIRATES OF SILICON VALLEY"                                                                

It  begins as an experiment in neo-hippie low-level capitalism. -- the personal computer revolution -- in Pirates of Silicon Valley. Noah Wyle stars as Steve Jobs and Joey Slotnick plays Steve Wozniak, a pair of computer enthusiasts who meet while working at Hewlett-Packard in the early '70s. Together they try to make a computer for personal , and found a company to manufacture and sell their brainchild, which they name Apple Computers. Apple gets off the ground despite Jobs' habit of meeting loan officers while wearing cutoffs and a T-shirt. Somewhere down the line, a guy named Bill Gates (Anthony Michael Hall) comes into the picture, who seemed to slip into the company unnoticed but was soon battling Jobs for control. By 1997, Jobs would devolve into a egocentric corporate raider and Gates would be one of the wealthiest men in the entire world, becoming a "financial partner" in Apple (and saving them from probable extinction) after sinking his hooks into nearly every non-Apple personal computer on earth.It looks like bill gates was an opportunist or may be clever enough.............he grabbed the opportunity...........
