I cannot think of anyone who would want to see this aside from adult king & mark prince.

flooped with 8 millions in earnings, ok

A lot of truth to that. It probably would have done better at a film festival setting

Yes The Pirates of Silicon Valley is a good one, at telling the real story of apple and MS early days... even if completely forgets Commodore, Atari, Sinclair, etc. so it is not a documentary.

The Commodore 64 has sold more than any other computer in history, 30 million units according to The Guinness book of Records (but historians say 20 milion max). C64 it was also the longest production run, from early 1982 through to 1992. The Commodore Amiga was first with real multitasking, cool stereo audio etc., but C= had seriously bad managers who, unlike Apple, trashed the initial tech+sales+brand advantage. Brand was so much trashed that no one could even sell C= or Amiga branded PC's later.

I can understand, it would have been confusing to the most viewers of the movie to add the Commodore and Atari guys, after all only MS and Apple survived, and a movie is not a documentary, it requires a clear story with not too many characters. For the real story one will check wikipedia and serious docs, or GFY.

About Steve Jobs and Apple: lots of young people thinks that Steve Jobs invented the cell phones, and totally ignores the existence of Motorola (or Nokia, which in fact, vanished). This is surely a marketing success. Check all the USA movies in the past 30 years, every single computer is an Apple one, except very rare Dell's. If aliens can intercept our movies, they will think that 99% of people use Apple on earth.

Not purchased by the masses?

I'm the only person I now who uses an Android phone. Everyone I know uses an iPhone...and everyone I see that I don't know who is using a phone is using an iPhone.

I bought my first Mac in 1984, and have owned at least one of almost every hardware they've made. But I didn't go see the movie - nor did I intend to - because while I enjoy the productivity of the Apple technology, I'm not interested in the resistance "from behind". The politics and mudslinging.

Just as I didn't get all that much out of The Social Network, as I couldn't figure out who and why the intended audience for the movie was. I write PHP scripts, I hosted my first BBS in 1986, I've been through dial-up modems, software that came and went, and hardware that cost months pay, that wen't obsolete in months... I don't want to re-live all of that through the eyes of the over-paid and under-worked winged monkeys that is SIlicon Valley.

Apple today is not Apple then. Watching the movie would only make me bad abut all of the Computers and systems they run on, are Camels Designed by Committee.

Yes, that was an excellent movie! :thumbsup

Lots of people buy iPhones but last I checked android still had slightly over 50% market share.

I hate my iphone and I can't fucking wait to get rid of it.

Simplistic child like shit for people with simplistic child like minds.
