I’m watching these guys as two Stephen Hawkings golden boys of Silicon Valley and I am digital boy of 1980, I’m waiting for 3,4,5,6 and 7, I dunno what else to say other than I expect to see later myself, same thing, I’m sitting here like a hawk.

These guys are the pioneers of Silicon Valley. Imagine the world without the ambition of these two men.

This is the most exciting interview I’ve ever seen. It’s hilarious, and it’s two men with personal vision and ambition bar none side by side talking politely and talking about history and vision and the lessons from the past…

I’m a kid in the candy store, I’d pay money just to see these two guys do lectures and Q & A.

At the point where they were talking about cassette tapes, I wanted Steve to turn to Bill and say “We can bring it back, we have the technology” in the 6 Million Dollar Man voice. Even just a 5 minute conversation with one of these guys would be an experience worth remembering for a lifetime because of their role in technology. They’re the Edison and Tesla of their day.

Market driven, is not innovation it is acquiescence. It is the limited average of accepted actuality. It is mediocre. Robots are the exception ironically.

To sit there and say we are partners now, and have been, but to have allowed the public perception of the arch competitive rival to persist bespeaks the self serving conspiracy behind the market driven mentality. It drives sales, polarizes creativity to the point of ineffectual non-sense, applauds the waste of resources, has re-enforced planned obsolescence, poisoned the planet, but allows for the compensation of their cowardly egos. Restraint? Pluralize that to restraints.

Excelent part 2, I ended engaged in the story and the jokes :).

As others are saying, these two guys deserve what they’ve obtained. They revolutionized the IT Industry in different ways. Can you imagine both working together. At the moment they’re doing their jobs quite well. Let’s think in the future of the Software industry check carefully what these two leaders have to say.

Thanks.

This series is simply amazing! This is almost a great sequel to “Pirates of Silicon Valley”. BTW – Paul Stewart is unbelievably impressive as the resident cynic who enjoys using very large words – keep it up, Paul, as someone is bound to be impressed.

It was delightful to see Bill and Steve sharing a stage and reminiscing about their stuff, but I was surprised that Bill (gadgets) and Steve (widgets) didn’t settle the debate about the original inventor of the widget.

One can never have too many widgets. Somebody codes something you never even dreamed of wanting – suddenly everybody
