Triumph Of the Nerds

The title is actually Movie Review:Triumph Of the Nerds. But apperently the word “movie review ” fall under the Blocked category of my college`s proxy server, and hence this title. 

Well, a lot of time has indeeed passed since I last made a new post in here. Life has been  Triumph Of the Nerds

pretty much hectic. College started and the usual labs and the tutorials started taking their toll.

Saw a movie yesterday,rather a documentary. I had earlier read about this, while I was going through some of articles about Apple and Microsoft.  It was indeed a very well made film. The film captured the PC revolution, right from the Altair 8800 times. It has real life interview with all the who`s who of Silicon Valley, such as Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Paul Allen, Steve Wozniak and the other industry greats.

The film lasting for a 150 minutes is very nicely guided by a nerd of the silicon valley himself. The film highlights the entry of IBM into the PC business and battling it with Apple and later with the IBM clones to emerge as the winner. All the actual locations have been revisited which brings the excitement back.

In all, its a must watch for all those geeks and nerds.
