Selasa, 20 Januari 2009
About 6 months ago, I accidentally watched a slick movie titled Pirates of Silicon Valley. Movies made in 1999, this TV station is showing Cinemax on a night of boring. Perhaps, this film was the real story of his career Bill Gates and Steve Jobs. Overall, this film recounts the competition between Bill Gates vs. Steve Jobs. But Steve Jobs is the founder of Apple Computer's famous product with the Ipod and Macintosh.
In addition, the film also recounts many of the personal nature of each of the famous figures. Steve is very emotional, the excess demand loyalty from their servants. Steve programmer forced to work for 24 hours non-stop. When he found programmer is sleep, then Steve is not reluctant to call the programmer. Opposite from Steve, Bill Gates described as a simple, shy and polite. "
Plainly, this film made me understand more deeply about the history and development of the computer course is the second figure. This film also recounts the history of how controversial the DOS operating system and the history of GUI (Graphical User Interface).
Believe it or not, in fact DOS is a registered trademark created by Bill Gates on an operating system (OS) that he purchased from a programmer who did not know his name. Then, by Bill Gates, the OS is sold back to the per-license the company's many computer. IBM is the first company to use the DOS interested in their products.
When Bill Gates busy trading DOS, Steve Jobs of Apple with the company after buying the fly "mouse" from a small company called Xerox. At that time, Steve heard the news that Xerox find a technology called GUI. This makes it curious. For fear didahului by competitors, then it quickly to the Xerox headquarters. Steve ask Xerox to practice and explain in detail of the GUI technology that uses "mouse". Steve was also proficient in the lobby-business lobbying.
Rhythm at the time, they succeeded in creating a personal computer berteknologi GUI. Apple replace the more popular and domination that use IBM DOS. They then became the company's largest manufacturer of computer world. Please note that, at that time Steve was approximately an 30-lho.
Bill Gates of the Thieves
The success of Apple was to make Bill Gates interested to work there. He then visited Apple headquarters to apply for a job as a programmer. There, he met and interviewed by Steve Jobs. Perhaps because he is known as the creator of DOS, so that Steve lamarannya to believe and accept.
Short stories, after Bill Gates to become part of Apple, he was stealing a prototype is being developed by Apple. He then developed the theft are without Steve Jobs.
Slowly, eventually Steve Jobs even know them. He got news that the Japanese have been circulating in the computer program that is similar to the prototype that Apple. The program is not Microsoft Windows. This makes Steve is very angry.
There are things that are out of the mouth , it defend itself by saying, "All cars have stirnya. But the creator does not have a stir of protest ".
Since then, Bill Gates resigned from Apple and Microsoft Windows are growing. Until the end, several years later, Microsoft is able to buy most of the shares of Apple.
