We’ve heard word that Amazon.com will be selling “The Pirates of Silicon Valley,” which stars Anthony Michael Hall and Noah Wyle. Being a technology web publication, we are all over that DVD and will probably buy several copies just to review. I myself, have never actually seen the movie, but will certainly be primed to purchase it at Amazon’s rate on August 30, 2005 when they release it to the web.

We will certainly keep you updated on any deals until then, and will post our great affiliate links to amazon so we can get our teeny-tiny 5% on the sale (thank you btw). I think Mike knows how to do pre-order links, so maybe we’ll have something up later today for you. Until, arrrgh!

“This dramatization of the tangled history of Apple Computer and Microsoft, based on a book by Paul Frieberger, hits enough of the right notes to make its failures all the more frustrating. The script follows the entwined paths of Apple’s Steve Jobs and Microsoft’s Bill Gates with a pointed sense of the cultural divide between the hip, self-absorbed Apple cofounder and the brilliant alpha geek behind Microsoft’s eventual software empire, contrasting the Mac’s countercultural underpinnings with the PC’s more strait-laced origins.”
