Another biopic about the late Apple CEO entitled "steve jobs" will be shown next month.A lot of viewers - fans and non-fans alike - of the late Apple CEO as well as Apple products are anticipating it to see whether or not it is an improvement on the previous biopic starring Ashton Kutcher entitled Jobs.Many people who disliked Jobs have referred to another TV movie - Pirates Of Silicon Valley - which they consider a better film.This is not a TV movie based on the late Steve Jobs alone.It was based on the book Fire In The Valley and tells the history of computers from the 1970's until the time it was released in 1999.It presents two major characters - Steve Jobs and Bill Gates - who were both a major force in the computer industry as well as their companies - Apple Computer and Microsoft.It tells their struggles during their college years;their determination to start their companies;the humble beginnings of their global empires;the actions they took to get ahead in the industry; and a lot more.The story was told with semi-humorous narration coming from the close friends of Jobs and Gates such as Apple co-founder,Steve Wozniak and former Microsoft CEO,Steve Ballmer.The narrators also allows the viewer to get an up close and personal view of both Jobs and Gates.We learn Jobs horrible character and Gates' ruthlessness as a businessman.As for the performances of the cast,Noah Wyle definitely did great as Steve Jobs.No wonder he was once invited by the late Steve Jobs in an Apple event to impersonate him.Anthony Michael Hall also was impressive as Bill Gates.Some viewers looking for perfect accuracy will probably be disappointed with it.But one has to realize that it took some creative license to dramatize some events in the story.Also,it has been more than ten years since it was released so the story is far from being updated as it does not include Steve Jobs leading Apple to becoming a more valuable company than Microsoft and other important events that have happened since then.It is definitely crying for a sequel.Nevertheless,it is still a great TV movie that deserves the highest rating.

The first time i heard about this movie, i thought it was crappy and a lot boring... Nowadays that i'm pretty interested in technology and stuff, i decided to see it; I actually got really excited about this movie, i saw it yesterday, but today i'm gonna watch it again.We can really think that this movie is a documentary or Biography, but is not... Thou its very educative, and its pretty close to reality, the director managed to make it interesting, full of drama and elements that makes this movie for all not just for technology lovers.I Really recommend it, you're gonna learn a lot about two of the biggest genius or opportunists of the modern times. 8/10

This is a documentary sort of video that shows the history of Windows and Apple as of 1999 or so. It shows how a bunch of guys with an interesting childhood cheat and find their way to create what we now know as Microsoft and Apple. The video showed many scenes that gave us a (slightly exaggerated but it's TV!) look into what they had to deal with to get what they wanted.I was a bit disappointed, regardless of how true it was, with some scenes. I am fully aware that most, if not all of what it shows actually happened. However they could have shown the stripper club scene a bit better, and it's sad to see the language involved. However, this is history in the making, and the 70s-90s were a very interesting time for Microsoft and Apple with technology.Rated 8/10!
