Antitrust is about a company developing and selling a product that is stolen from somewhere else. I don't remember anyone dying because someone wanted to see a Mr Blurry-Cam shot of the new iPhone on Engadget.
- jpwagner 17y agoNot sure if you've seen the movie based on your assessment. It's been a while for me. The movie is not about stealing ideas and several people are killed. The movie is about a corrupt iconic thought leader who bugs hackers' work and home lives and eventually kills them when they are no longer useful or become a threat. Obviously a comment in jest, but Tim Robbins' character looks to have been based on Jobs (except for the psychopathic thing) and like many similar movies the "jumped" from 12 stories could be replaced with "thrown" for more drama. Since when do we have to explain jokes to 3rd graders around here?
- nomoresecrets 17y agoThe central plot device of the movie is that the CEO tries to hire the people developing some innovative software. One of them joins, but the other refuses. The first guy realises that the CEO is stealing his friend's code in order to make their 'own' new product. And as for '3rd graders' - lose the attitude. This is HN, not digg.
