The Billion Dollar Code : Small guys against Google

Anyone watch The Billion Dollar Code? It's a German production, four parts, based on the true story of how Google supposedly stole a patented idea from some German hackers.

Just appeared on Netflix.

It's quite good, I think, especially if you have worked in hacker/coder culture.

 

Just watched the first episode. Very very entertaining! Loved the setting in early 90s Berlin when it was quite an anarchic place with all the illegal clubs.

It's also fascinating how far we have come technology wise in the past 30 years and how trivial everything that seemed like science fiction only 30 years ago has become today!

 

I'm thoroughly enjoying it and will be sad to see it end. One episode left.
