If you're a Tron fan who wants to know about the real-life environment in which a computer company like ENCOM would exist, and in which characters like Kevin Flynn and Ed Dillinger would have become the people they are in the film, I heartily recommend watching the film Pirates of Silicon Valley. It's a dramatization of the history of Microsoft and Apple, how they grew from small startups to huge corporations, and the fierce, often nasty, competition between their owners, Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, including a lot of trickery, backstabbing and outright theft. Like most dramatizations, not everything is portrayed with 100% accuracy, but most of the real life people portrayed have later come out and said that the film captures the general mood and real events of the 80s computer revolution, and the personalities of the people. You don't have to know a lot about the techical details of computers to follow along, since most of the important stuff is explained in layman's terms.

The Tron characters such as Kevin, Alan and Lora are pretty idealized, far more sympathetic versions of the kind of people involved in the computer business at the time. In Pirates of Silicon Valley, people such as Jobs and Gates appear pretty sympathetic at the beginning, but as the film goes along, it become apparent that they're both nasty, cunning and just generally unpleasant businessmen, prone to screaming outbursts and abusive treatment of their employees. The only person in the film who comes off as a decent human being is Steve Wozniak, who looks on in horror as Apple goes from a bunch of friends tinkering with computers in a garage to a huge company with unhealthy working conditions and an awful corporate culture.
Tumblr media
None of the Tron characters are carbon copies of Jobs, Gates or Wozniak, but there are some interesting similarities in their personalities and interactions. Jobs being the slick talker and salesman who becomes the head of the company, while Woz is the actual computer genius inventing the hardware and software, feels similar to the relationship between Dillinger and Flynn, or Dillinger and Gibbs for that matter. Jobs is also portrayed as being a pretty "out there" character, dropping acid, thinking of himself as a counterculture rebel, and viewing his work with computers as an important politicial and spiritual undertaking, which feels similar to what Kevin Flynn evolves into between Tron and Tron Legacy (though, again, Flynn seems like a much more sympathetic person).
Tumblr media
Also, maybe I've been on Tumblr for too long (scratch that, I've been on Tumblr long enough), but some of the scenes in the film gives off some weird homoromantic/erotic vibes to me. Jobs and Wozniak occasionally comes off as an unstable romantic couple, arguing with each other, and with Woz trying and failing to keep Jobs from becoming more and more unhinged. And the interactions between Gates and Jobs sometimes feels like a couple of arch rivals who wouldn't hesitate to sleep with each other in order to manipulate the other into a position where they could be stabbed in the back. Jobs especially gives Gates some looks that could be interpreted as horny, in a sinister sort of way. And of course, there's this gem from the IBM songbook:

The Apple II, an 8-bit home computer designed primarily by Steve Wozniak, was one of the world's first successful mass-produced microcomputers. Launched in 1977, it marked Apple's first foray into personal computers aimed at consumers. The Apple II, Commodore PET 2001, and TRS-80 formed the "1977 Trinity" of home computing, with Apple II standing out due to its color graphics capabilities. This innovation led to the redesign of the Apple logo to feature a spectrum of colors. The Apple II series included several compatible models, with production ending in 1993 for the last model, the Apple IIe.

Pense Diferente: Steve Jobs e o Lado Oculto da Apple
Por Cláudio Suenaga
Um dos grandes responsáveis pela tessitura do mundo de hoje a definir o modo de vida de cada um dos habitantes deste planeta em termos indefectíveis e irreversíveis, Steve Jobs (1955-2011), um visionário que se tornou uma lenda ainda em vida, revolucionou não um, mas quatro setores enquanto esteve no comando da Apple: o de computadores pessoais, o de música, o de telefonia móvel e o de publicações. Entre as principais criações de Jobs estão o computador Macintosh (1984), o tocador de música iPod (2001), o smartphone iPhone (2007) e o iPad (2010).
Mas de onde teria vindo tanta inspiração, visão extraordinária de mercado, ousadia e criatividade? Teria Jobs feito tudo per si, por conta de sua própria genialidade, ou, embora nunca admitisse, teria contado com a ajuda de forças ocultas de fora deste mundo que o usaram para moldá-lo de acordo com seus ditames, em direção a uma nova era guiada pela inteligência artificial?

Apple consisted of teenage geeks Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak. The two Steves hand-built the computers in Jobs' garage in Los Altos, California. 200 models were sold between July 1976 and September 1977 sold back in 1976, for $666.66.

Are you ready to get down one more time? We give you THE MIGHTY VAN HALEN!
Forty years ago today, May 29th, 1983, Van Halen headlined the US Festival in San Bernardino, CA. Billed as "The Musical Event of the 80s," the '83 US Festival was like a gift from the heavens. Throughout four days, music lovers would flock to Southern California's Glen Helen Regional Park, enjoying everything from Oingo Boingo to Ricky Skaggs.
Apple Computers wizard Stephen Wozniak, who put together the previous year's show, organized the '83 event. He was determined to make the '83 event the biggest show in history. Capitalizing on the latest technology, he hoped to draw over one million people to the 500-acre site. Two large video screens would afford spectators unobstructed views of the 300 x 67-foot stage. Their eardrums were sure to be assaulted by 400,000 watts of power, and there was no better band to make the most of every watt than Van Halen.
Wozniak made history by offering Van Halen $1.5 million to headline "Heavy Metal Day." The Guinness Book of World Records even created a category for VH's big paycheck: "The artist or band receiving the most money for a single performance."
A few years ago, the YouTube channel Rock Remastered remastered the video and audio of Van Halen's complete set, using three video sources, including the Italian TV broadcast (Raitre channel), for the best viewing and listening experience possible. As you will see and hear, the hard work paid off. It's certainly worthy of sharing with Van Halen fans on the 40th anniversary of what is arguably the most publicized concert in Van Halen history.
The lights just went down, and the audience of 3000,000 are up and on their feet. It's showtime!
