8:36 PM - The Social Network
I just finished watching The Social Network. The movie is an interesting look at a startup. Based on my own limited experience in Silicon Valley, I'd have to agree with the portrayal of the office environment shown at the end of the movie.
Funny thing is I agree with the movie zuckerberg regarding the difference between "The Facebook" and the Harvard site proposed. The latter ended up targeting a large audience and was in fact a different site. In the computer industry, it's common to rip off ideas. Look at Mac OS, Windows, KDE, or Gnome. Consider the similarities with various smart phones interfaces.
Was he a dick? Yes. Is it different from Paul Allen, Steve Wozniak or any other co-founders of large companies? Not so much.
It would be interesting to know what the movie got wrong.
