...Pirates of the Silicon Valley is an incredible documentary film which is about the dual between Steve Jobs the Apple Company and Bill Gates of Microsoft. This movie draws out the evolution of the computers and how they advanced technology with the new creation of Apple computers in that era. Talking directly about Steve Job, Firth of all is to express his positive values which had been admired and having people compassionated on what are companionship of all the main characters, Steve Jobs, Steve Wazniac and with Bill Gates and Paul. Steve Jobs has a very high persistent to be a successful businessman even after he got fire from Apple company, he started his new companies named NeXT and Pixar in after 5 years to proof his absence was worse. Furthermore, this movies shows the struggling lives in college and ton of passions for what he was interesting in and with just a little investment to achieve his goal and somedays he will be a successful one and he did it, especially to show that failure is success which worth learning from your mistakes. However, despite his positive points there are many consequences to concern such as basically Apple copied idea from Xerox, a company which invited Steve Jobs to see the development of graphical interface and though with the silly idea to agree to let Apple looked at everything they had and Apple as it naturally stole everything it could. Thing had been gone more complicated when Microsoft as having Bill Gates is the owner tricked Steve...

...Reaction Paper Triumph of the Nerds In the early 80's nobody really knew what a computer was. Many people probably never saw a computer in person. Bill Gates and Paul Allen are people whose work together to make today’s life easier as what Microsoft known. After the mild success of the Microsoft other people wanted to make computers as well. Two such men were Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs. They started a computer company out of a garage called Apple and set about to make a better computer. After this event was successfully released, the product of Apple. Many more people started to use a PC. It always says that: Starting point is very useful in terms of invention because it is a basis of improvement because after the Microsoft and Apple was known; the IBM was launch. IBM was started by Tom Watson and Tom Watson Jr. and based on the documentary that I’ve seen, it was documented the lifestyle of being an employee of IBM, the way they go to office and other specific things concerning being an employee of the company. It was also stated that the Relationship between IBM and Microsoft was an interesting one. It lasted 10 years and made both companies a lot of money. IBM became the biggest PC manufacturer because of it but because of some mistakes also cost them a lot of money in the long run. Therefore, I conclude that The Triumph of the Nerds is one of the most important stories in human culture. It is the great story in the history that has affected the daily living...

...Pirates of Silicon Valley In: Computers and Technology Pirates of Silicon Valley Watching the film helped me realized that the IPHONE that I’m using right now wouldn’t be possible without the brilliant idea of Steve Jobs. Mike and Steve got along very well, they conversed well and shared similar and constructive thoughts about ways to change the world and to do important things. He's quite intelligent and makes sense, although he doesn't always listen fully but then again for me he’s my favorite inventor in the entire world. After seeing Pirates of Silicon Valley, I understand the differences between being professional and intellectually inclined. Like in Steve Jobs case he can’t easily be approach without you being perfect to his eyes and because of this Bill Gates took advantage on him. How cruel and stupid Bill did to Steve, after he gotten everything to Steve Jobs he immediately relinquished the entire corporation of Steve. I felt so devastated for him perhaps because of Steve’s attitude brought him down. On the other hand of the movie, it shows that Steve is just an ordinary person who also faces failure. Every person who is already on top cannot avoid any failures in their every endeavor. Still you should fight this and continue to develop what is in your mind, not to become a failure one. The success of Steve Jobs includes his faith, passion, courage, innovation and his vision. Faith, in a way that he didn’t know what he is doing in his life and what should be his...

...REACTION PAPER (PIRATES OF SILICON VALLEY) Mary grace D. Acero CS-3a The movie “PIRATES OF SILICON VALLEY” is all about how Apple and Microsoft got started. This creation was made because of the two intelligent people: Steve Jobs for Apple and Bill Gates for Microsoft. It shows how the first Apple computer was made which is the Macintosh. The movie is also about how the two intelligent persons compete to each other in order to be a successful or famous. It also shows how a good leader handles his employees or team. Just like with Steve Jobs. He is so abusive to his workers. It just like he is only the good person. He always wants to follow his decisions and not giving chance to listen to the opinions or decisions of his teammates. That’s why he had also a problem when it comes to his family. It is quite opposite to Bill Gates. Because Bill is just a simple man and he used his intelligence in good way. That’s why he succeeds much compared to Steve Jobs and became a wealthiest man in the world. I learned from that negative attitude of Steve Jobs. It teaches me not to be high regard to yourself in whatever achievements you will have. It’s because we cannot conclude what the future will holds, sometimes those who are not considered now might be the one who will succeed more. In everything we do, we should be humble. We should also consider the opinions of others. Their points of view will sometimes help us succeed not only for our own interest but to the whole organization...

...the copyrighted material being distributed such as many Hollywood studios. From their point of view they require protection against pirates because if their copyrighted material is pirated is cost them money. On the other hand however major computer and internet companies such as Google and Youtube.com among many felt SOPA made them by law accountable for copyright violations of others, using their website. For example the vague language of the bill states “a site could be deemed a SOPA scofflaw if it facilitates copyright infringements.” (claoit.umn.edu.), making anybody accountable. This paper will analyze from a few perspectives what where the potential implications of SOPA and will attempt to analyze ethically what this failed law means to both sides of the table. Additionally it will explore a bit the relevant legal principles and rule of law by analyzing what SOPA means legally to all. Lastly all the involved companies protecting their investment and their interests by taking a stand on both side of the issue but what about society? The Social responsibility goes above the legal and moral laws of these companies. Is Hollywood and Silicon Valley only looking out only for their interest or the wellbeing of the society? We will attempt to answer these questions as we explore the what is known today as the battle of Hollywood vs. Silicon Valley. SOPA AND SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY How do you define SOPA and social responsibility? Social responsibility is simply a moral...

Steve Jobs is a person that has a vision that someday he become a millionaire and he always say to himself everything and they called him weird. First i was saw his face in the movie, the first thing that captured in my mind was, is he become a professional someday? His garments are like a poor for that reason he did not permitted to owe in the bank. Afterwards, Steve realized and changed his personality like a professional and he with his friend hired to apple’s company. He is one who improved their company and very well known but in the other side his attitude is not good if he is not in mood and angry. While on the other scene Bill Gates also showed as a nobody person and ignored by Steve’s computer expo. He also wants to know the development of a computer of apple’s company and striving to compete others company and develop a new technology such as compute. The story narrates the competition between two companies and the accusation of Steve to Bill of getting the computer resources of their company but still in the last part Steve and Bill announced that they are a good team together. As a student, I’m inspired with abilities and visions of Steve and Bill. And it is helpful for me and to all IT students that there is an opportunity to show our skills and knowledge of being a student that...

...Journal of Engineering and Technology Management, 8 ( 1991 ) 67-83 Elsevier Towards a new theory of innovation management: A case study comparing Canon, Inc. and Apple Computer, Inc. Ikujiro Nonaka Institute of Business Research, Hitotsuhashi University, Kunitachi, Tokyo, Japan Martin Kenney Department of Applied Behavioral Sciences, University of California, Davis, CA 95616, USA Abstract This paper argues that innovation can be best understood as an information process which is then concretized as a product that meets demand. Two very different firms, Canon Inc. and Apple Computer Inc., are used as case study illustrations. Innovation does not proceed through logical deduction, but rather is furthered by the use of metaphors and analogies. The bureaucratic and staid structures of the firm can be challenged and broken up to provide the space for innovations to emerge. The leader’s role in the innovating firm is as a catalyst and facilitator, not as an allknowing despot. The importance of innovations is not merely in the new product, but also the “ripple” effects of innovations which can propel the firm into a self-renewal process. Keywords: Innovation management, High-technology, Case study. 1. Introduction Increasingly, corporate competitive success is hinging upon the effective management of innovation. Innovation has been the object of considerable academic study from a variety of perspectives. However, innovations are usually considered as objects. We...

...Mac vs. PC Bill Gates: “There may be a few….similarities.” Steve Jobs: “Similarities? Similarities? Try theft.” (from “Pirates of Silicon Valley”) Everyone knows of the popular household names Apple and Microsoft. Apple was started by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak. They created the first Apple computer in Jobs’ parents garage in the 1970’s. They knew that they had created something great so they called their company Apple. Bill Gates on the other hand created Microsoft. He never made a computer; what he did was create software and put it on other computers. Allegedly, Bill Gates stole Apple’s Macintosh prototype software from Steve Jobs. Gates only received the prototypes because Jobs thought he could trust Gates, but he was sorely mistaken. These two popular household names are similar, but they have differences such as ability to customize, operating system, price, and virus protection. Apple and Microsoft are alike in they were created at the same time and both had great ideas. Some similarities they share are products such as portable media players and smart phones, tablet devices, and retail stores. They both have portable media players. Apple has the iPod and Microsoft has the Zune. They both do the same thing, but have completely different functions within the device. Zune is all tiled and more cut and dry verses the iPod ,which is sleek, creative, and allows more wiggle room than the Zune. Apple wins over people with the iPhone; it functions just like their iPod...

...Three main variables: Cost, time and quality, if aimed, companies can advance their strategies to satisfy customers’ needs and increase their share in market by launching new products regularly. Failures of Steve Jobs as a technopreneur: On the other hand, Step Jobs was not a consistent icon of success. He too experienced downfall. Being fired from the company he helped to exist was the hardest thing that ever happened to Steve but somehow it triggered him to be innovative in other aspect of technology. In accordance with what I’ve read on the net, Steve jobs management style was always been being talked about. He was hideous, arrogant, demanding, inconsistent, etc. as they labelled him and through viewing entirely the movie “pirates of the Silicon valley” he really are. If the great advisor says in order to have a horizontal relationship with your employees, you must be pleasant to the people around you, but for Steve Jobs? That’s, a...

...The Pirates of Silicon valley The film opens with the creation of the 1984 commercial for Apple Computer, which introduced the first Macintosh. Steve Jobs (Noah Wyle) is speaking with director Ridley Scott (J. G. Hertzler), trying to convey his idea that "We're creating a completely new consciousness." Scott, however, is more concerned at the moment with the technical aspects of the commercial. The film then flashes forward to 1997 as Jobs, who has returned to Apple, is announcing a new deal with Microsoft at the 1997 Macworld Expo. His partner, Steve Wozniak (Joey Slotnick), is introduced as one of the two central narrators of the story. Wozniak notes to the audience the resemblance between "Big Brother" and the image of Bill Gates (Anthony Hall) on the screen behind Jobs during this announcement. Asking how they "got from there to here," the film turns to flashbacks of his youth with Jobs, prior to the forming of Apple. The earliest flashback is in 1971 and takes place on the U.C. Berkeley campus during the period of the student anti-war movements. Jobs and Wozniak are shown caught on the campus during a riot between students and police. They flee and after finding safety, Jobs states to Wozniak, "Those guys think they're revolutionaries. They're not revolutionaries, we are." Wozniak then comments that "Steve was never like you or me. He always saw things differently. Even when I was in Berkeley, I would see something and just see kilobytes or circuit boards while he'd see...

...Employers, job seekers, and puzzle lovers everywhere delight in William Poundstone's HOW WOULD YOU MOVE MOUNT FUJI? "Combines how-to with be-smart for an audience of job seekers, interviewers, Wired-style cognitive science hobbyists, and the onlooking curious. . . . How Would You Move Mount Fuji? gallops down entertaining sidepaths about the history of intelligence testing, the origins of Silicon Valley, and the brain-jockey heroics of Microsoft culture." — Michael Erard, Austin Chronicle "A charming Trojan Horse of a book While this slim book is ostensibly a guide to cracking the cult of the puzzle in Microsoft's hiring practices, Poundstone manages to sneak in a wealth of material on the crucial issue of how to hire in today's knowledge-based economy. How Would You Move Mount Fuji? delivers on the promise of revealing the tricks to Microsoft's notorious hiring challenges. But, more important, Poundstone, an accomplished science journalist, shows how puzzles can — and cannot — identify the potential stars of a competitive company.... Poundstone gives smart advice to candidates on how to 'pass' the puzzle game.... Of course, let's not forget the real fun of the book: the puzzles themselves." — Tom Ehrenfeld, Boston Globe "A dead-serious book about recruiting practices and abstract reasoning — presented as a puzzle game....
