  • 00:00:00 This video tells the story of two of the most influential minds in the history of technology, Steve Jobs and Bill Gates. Jobs, who was known for his innovative designs and carismatic personality, and Gates, who was a prodigy with knowledge in computer operating systems, disagreed on many issues, but they had one thing in common: they both wanted to make the computer more user-friendly. In 1974, Gates and Paul Allen created the first computer that was small and could be used by the general public, which they called the "Alter 8800." They took their project directly to the people who created the original computer, the creators of the "Aldea," and proved their concept. However, they weren't the only ones determined to make the computer more accessible. Jobs and Allen knew that they had to go beyond the primitive programming language that was available at the time, so they created their own language, " BASIC," which would become the standard for all future computer programs. The future of the computer was now imaginable; it would be easier for people to use, and even more powerful.
  • 00:05:00 Steve Jobs, who recently returned from a spiritual journey in India, is inexperienced in computers, while Bill Gates, one of Jobs' friends and fellow hippie, builds the first personal computer with a microprocessor, but adds two more components - a keyboard and monitor - which changes the way computer programming can be done, from codes written on paper to being directly written with the use of the same keys found on a typewriter. After a moment of eureka, Jobs decides to sell his creation - the Apple 1 - to the public. Gates, who is waiting for news from his partner, decides to show off their software, which they created for the Altair 8800, a computer Jobs considered superior. The demonstration proves to be too much for Jobs, who later renames the computer the Apple II. Gates continues to grow Microsoft, while Jobs creates Apple, which eventually becomes the world's largest computer company. Gates eventually sells Microsoft to Bill Gates for $2.5 billion.
  • 00:10:00 In the early days of personal computing, Steve Jobs and Bill Gates faced off in a rivalry that would have far-reaching consequences. Jobs' Apple computer was a revolutionary improvement on earlier models, while Gates' Microsoft was equally impressive with its Windows operating system. However, it was the Apple II that truly caught the public's attention, with its simple, easy-to-use design and stunning graphics. Within a year of its release, Apple had sold 8 million units. Gates, meanwhile, was busy developing the Microsoft Windows operating system, which would become the dominant platform in the industry. The rivalry between the two men would continue to flare up, with Jobs famously claiming that Microsoft was "a toy company" while Gates countered with claims of Apple's intellectual property being stolen. However, it was the early 1990s and the PC industry was changing. With the rise of the Internet and the growth of business software, the personal computer was finally starting to become a ubiquitous part of everyday life. The rivalry between Jobs and Gates came to an end with Jobs' death in 2011, but their legacy remains as one of the most significant developments in the history of computing.
  • 00:15:00 In this video, Bill Gates discusses his rivalry with Steve Jobs. Gates believes that IBM's main advantage in the computer market was their software, which he saw as being more important than creating a system operating system. In order to compete with IBM, Jobs developed the Apple Macintosh, which was a major success. However, Gates' focus shifted to IBM's main competitor, Microsoft, and he made a deal with the company in 1980. This agreement gave Microsoft a non-exclusive license to IBM's operating system, which would later be released to other computer companies. Microsoft's success eventually led to Gates becoming one of the richest men in the world.
  • 00:20:00 In this video, Steve Jobs discusses his rivalry with Bill Gates, starting with their time at Apple. Jobs claims that Gates never understood what he was doing and that their company would have been worth a million dollars if Gates had been allowed to see their installation. Jobs goes on to say that his next invention, the Mac, would be a bigger success than the Apple 2 had been. Gates responds by saying that Jobs' vision was too limited, and that he would never be able to replicate Microsoft's success with software. Jobs then invites Gates to join him in his latest invention, the Mac interface. Gates declines, but says that he is impressed by what Jobs has done.
  • 00:25:00 In this video, Gates compares Apple's early products with Microsoft's early products. Gates says that he believes Microsoft's software is "absolutely marvelous" and that he would be happy to write software for Microsoft that is even better. However, Gates perceives an opportunity even greater for Microsoft than Apple's graphical user interface (GUI). He believes that when Bill Gates saw the GUI for the first time, he must have thought to himself, "I have to go back and tell my boys about this – because if computers become interactive in the future, what's the harm with ours being dead? We can have windows open on two screens at the same time." Gates declares war on Apple, and proceeds to bring to market a product that is even more revolutionary than Microsoft's original software for personal computers – one that is easy to use and that takes into account the time factor. Gates has a true spirit of innovation, and this is what sets him apart from Steve Jobs – a man who was not only brilliant in his own right, but also possessed the drive and ambition to achieve greatness. Gates' dream of creating a great company was finally realized when Windows was released in 1983, just months before Jobs' Macintosh. Gates is a smart man with business savvy, and he saw an opportunity
  • 00:30:00 In 1985, Steve Jobs' Apple computer company failed to live up to expectations, with its Macintosh machine being considered a beautiful, but slow, machine. This failure made Jobs unhappy and led him to form a "think tank" of people who were almost like parental figures to him. They determined that Jobs was spending too much money and becoming hostile with others. They then voted to remove Jobs from his position as CEO. Jobs told the author that this was like being kicked in the gut. In 1990, Microsoft's Windows software monopoly began to become a problem for Jobs. The software industry was turning towards PCs, and Microsoft's rivals began to accuse Microsoft of being a monopolist and abusing its market position. Microsoft's aggressive marketing tactics began to backfire, and by the end of the 1990s, Microsoft's market share had decreased to 80%. Gates became the world's youngest millionaire, but his business practices are now being scrutinized by the Department of Justice.
  • 00:35:00 In this video, Steve Jobs is interviewed about his rivalry with Bill Gates. Jobs argues that Gates' monopoly on the PC market has hurt innovation and development in the software industry as a whole. Jobs also points out that Gates' history of abuse at Microsoft has made him an unpopular figure in the industry. Jobs reinvents the Apple brand and products, establishing himself as a once again innovator in the industry.
  • 00:40:00 In 2007, Apple fans were waiting in line for up to 100 hours to buy the iPhone, which would become Steve Jobs' signature product. Japan is on the path to becoming one of the world's most profitable companies thanks to the iPhone concept of being able to carry and use these powerful computers in your hands and interact with the world. If you had to choose the person who had the most impact on technology in this era, you would have to listen to him while his reputation grows. Bill Gates, on the other hand, has a problem with his image and I would like to bring him onto the stage right now. He wanted to be loved and wanted his name to be remembered in history as one of the great men. In an effort to redeem his legacy, Bill Gates devotes himself to philanthropy. He was motivated to become a philanthropist not only to make the world a better place, but also to rehabilitate his image. Bill and Melinda Gates' foundation becomes the world's largest private foundation. Pizza has become very compassionate and smart over the years, and he thinks that all of us are part of the same team. He will make the world a better place for years to come by giving importance to the news that he is suffering from pancreatic cancer
