Triumph of the Nerds [one of three] 4/6

[rochelle1088]

jobs saw the opportunity. Jobs saw the potential of Woz. Jobs moved the industry forward. Jobs saw the opportunity of Pixar. Jobs knew which designers would create consumer appeal. Gotta say, Jobs beats Gates, or is that obvious. Woz is great too, but maybe saying that is insulting. I hope Jobs is at peace, glad he found his sister.

[Canadianloyalist123]

To bad the market for computer designs is in the hands of large corporations such as Microsoft, Apple,Intel,etc. Microsoft and Apple conformed to the world around them. Can't say I blame them, in their shoes I would have done the same thing. I am still deciding whether to go into business or into computer networking.

this is why porn on the internet.

My brother in law worked for the very top law firm in Albuquerque for a while in the mid eighties and the story is told that they had an opportunity to take all of Microsoft's legal business which was considerable even when it was in Albuquerque. Apparently, the senior partners did not like the odor and personal habits of the founders and turned them down, believing them to be well below the standards required to be a client of the firm.

Watching this piece 15 years ago really gave me insight into what an interesting guy Steve Jobs (not to mention Steve Wozniak) is/was. The guy's been running at full throttle for the last 35+ years. He's deserved a good rest.

RIP, Steve. On my list of eternal heroes.

[SillyWillyFan47]

Rest in Peace Steve Jobs - what a legacy!

[z3pp3lin15]

At 5:26 Steve Jobs looks like a young Eddie Vedder.

[torontocitylife]

The first Apple cost $666. Jobs was the "hippy visionary" who's sole interest was to make piles of dough. Examples of Apple's benevolence continue...

[XzXzXzXz90]

Without these guys there would be no facebook, shut the fuck up and bask in their awesomeness.

[XcXtrippyXcX]

@XzXzXzXz90 Facebook? Lol, don't even dare mention something as trivial and useless as facebook in the same line as any of these guys...

[oggiemc83]

06:57...OMG!!!!

[tutorialconr]

$666.66 :O !

[atari26003]

" we were all sharing, everybody won"

now look at the way it is.

Money Money money...

Sad isn't it?

[nanocockroach]

Byte into an Apple $666,66

Wonder, who explicitly suggested price ???

[timDOGcrane555]

"everybody shared... everybody won"

Not everybody won. lol

Steve, Bill and a few more.... the ones that embraced capitalism.

[mfnickster]

@timDOGcrane555 Bill Gates learned how to write his BASIC interpreter by fishing printouts from the Harvard computer lab trash bins. The capitalists are usually the ones who want to take what other people produce but not give anything back.

[Morahman7vnNo2]

Now how did trolls manage to hack into this documentaries comment section?

[VinceOmega]

"You shared your dope."

Okay...

[baisden77]

It is an old story. . . In the computer world. . . the ones who invent things are broke. . . the ones that take it and make it do things. . . are billionaires!!!

[hoooser]

Shut up robert god. I hate that man jealous of bill gates to bad hes richer than u.

[m1dget]

What is the song at 0:42 ?

[Sintemafia]

Yeah, I would really like to know the title of that song too. Any info would be highly appreciated. Thanks

[PurushaDesa]

Geek says, "Okay, strip and get in the hot tub with me."

"Yeah, yeah, I don't think I like computers this much."

[stratergib]

what is the song at 2:49?

[translation314]

"frame relay is scalable" (as he takes off his clothes) LOL

[TheJediCharles]

"...for every one of them, there were a thousand 'software hobbists'..."

-Steve Jobs

That is the sort of brilliance that made Jobs great. He was talking about folks like me just then.

[gaud123]

There's nothing brilliant about that observation, you moron. It was common knowledge that a lot of people were into programming.

[TheJediCharles]

...feel better?

[gaud123]

only if you admit it wasn't a brilliant observation

[TheJediCharles]

Good, then your not feeling good is assured.

[gaud123]

yea, checkmate

[seroyer2]

"to help you understand all of this I will now take off my closes." LOL

- Robert X. Cringely

[arranmc182]

i wonder why the apple one cost $666.66 lol

[Vyggy]

the logical answer would be that it was evil. the real answer is that Woz liked repeating digits and he didn't know about Satans mark.

[Rainbowchick15]

omg... YOU GUYS ARE NERDSS!! hehe i looove it!!!

dude we had to watch this in tech class and we were LAUGHING SOO HARDD!!! the sub couldnt even help it... then our teacher got back and was mad

but dude.. seriously 'i will now take off my clothes..."

hahahahah

[MixesAndStuff]

you're an idiot. These people are BILLIONAIRES who changed the world. You're some dumbass teenage girl whos useless

[gaud123]

but she's probably hot

[Rainbowchick15]

haha thankss!!

and i never said that them being nerds was a bad thing. i plan on marrying a nerd. fyi. race to judgement much?? uhm im not the dumbass apparently.

[vonfeldt7]

Your name is "Rainbowchick"

Nuff' said.

[Rainbowchick15]

@vonfeldt7 Even though you're insulting me.... I laughed audibly at this. Yes... Yes my name is Rainbowchick. Is it stu- YES. Yes it is.

... I feel as though that's all I really have to say to that.

[vonfeldt7]

@Rainbowchick15: I was just joking. Chill.

Also, you took a year to respond... I took 9 minutes. How sad is that? (on my part, not yours).

Blah

[Rainbowchick15]

@vonfeldt7 And I was joking back.. haha

Yeaaaah. Funny you mention that, you see I had an epitome one day as I looked at my name. Rainbowchick. Really? What am I? 6? No. So I made a new account... And I logged back onto this one to delete two of my videos. Haha. I think we can just say we're equally sad.

[tharklark]

Ed Roberts is not a billionaire. He's a fat miserable asshole.

[tharklark]

Roberts HATES Bill Gates and is so jealous of his success. He tried to advise Gates against the business plans he was making that lead him to his incredible success. Now Roberts sits back and criticizes Bill because Roberts is a lonely miserable prick.

[shirosaki144]

if it wasn't for these nerds you wouldn't have been able to post that useless comment just now. so just shut up and stop hating on people that can make something out of their life instead of going around on youtube posting random, useless, comments that get 8 thumbs down

[corruptorCEREBRUM]

@shirosaki144 Well said. If it wasn't for Bill Gates, I wouldn't be using Windows Vista. And I wouldn't be able to create assignments for university using Office 2007's equation tools. I'm glad Bill Gates is rich, he deserves it - it's called 'achievement'.

[mfnickster]

Gates had the vision even back then to see a computer on every desktop, running Microsoft software, and he made his fortune by bringing that to reality. However, there are studies showing that desktop computers have actually made us LESS productive and more wasteful!

[ModernGeek]

@Rainbowchick15 wants to marry a nerd because she thinks that it will deliver her a life of wealth and prosperity. My fellow nerds, please beware of this type of woman.

[boinkboink1968]

@Rainbowchick15 Were it not for those "NERDS" , you ditzy airheads wouldn't

have Tivo or none of the game-consoles on this earth would exist.

Neither would you have those cell phones packed with all the lovely apps you're

so fond of.So think twice before you belittle the people from whom the ideas come for all those fancy electronic toys you take for granted right now.

And should you by any chance be one of those tech-hating christian extremists

go get a brain , you Sarah Palin clone.

[Rainbowchick15]

@boinkboink1968

Okay, okay just calm down. Haha did I ever diss them? No, I rather think I did not. My fathers a huge nerd. I have very high respect at them. However I can laugh. Honestly I would laugh at something like this despite who it was on. Therefore, I think your comment replying to mine really is just about your own personal insecurities. I am not a tech-hating Christian extremist, and Sarah Palin is a joke. Just simmer down, and don't rush to conclusions, hun.

[boinkboink1968]

@Rainbowchick15 I could only distinguish from the demeanor of your comment that you find yourself superior to those people , why else would you laugh at people

that where the discoverers of much technology that we take for granted these days. Either you had a kind of silly way to show appreciation or we nerds do not understand your humour . BTW , the hun at the end of your reply ,is that an insult or a term of endearment. See you are doing it again. hun is an insult to Germans or

short for honey

[chileaus]

what Inspiration documentary for the I.T people

[nagarjun424]

Totally agree! I am watching it for the 2nd time! Lol!

[avivthebest]

HAHAHAHHAHAA @ 5:30!

[xbacon24]

[shininio]

Wozniak Rules!
