AntiTrust
This business
is a living organism.
Multiplying constantly
surrounded by predators.
There's no rule for
idle time or second guessing,
New discoveries are made hourly.
devoured and redefined.
This business is binary.
You're a one or a zero.
Alive or dead.
There is no second place.
It's been suggested
by the media and congress
that you're violating antitrust laws,
and threatening competition.
Mr. Winston, can you reasonably deny
that you have a monopoly in this area?
Well, the only monopoly
we have at N.U.R.V, congressman,
is monopoly on excellence.
This is still a free market.
But a free market encourages
competition.
You prevent it.
Congressman, I don't need to remind you
that the essence of competition
Any kid working in a garage anywhere
in the world,
with a good idea, can put us
out of business.
You can try a version qualification
scheme if you have the best driver.
Wait a second.. go back up.
Move, move.
Teddy, I think I found our bottleneck.
- You did it!
- Yee-Haw!
God! That feels good.
It's gorgeous!
We're geeks.
Three months from today,
N.U.R.V will launch SYNAPSE,
transforming the way
humans communicate,
With Synapse,
to send or receive any message
be it audio, video or text
on any medium.
SYNAPSE will fully unite
the global village.
You've set yourself real
ticking clock here, Gary.
All of your competitors are desperate
to get to the marketplace with this
technology before you.
It has even been suggested
that you won't hit
this very ambitious launch date.
We're going to hit that date.
You can bet on it.
How can you be sure?
We'll do whatever it takes...
to get there.
Pace yourself, Brian.
Over here...
Milo, what do you think of this?
I know I promised my mom
we're gonna make this garage famous,
but I really don't think
we're gonna be here that long.
'Cause I've got us 3 appointments
with the venture capitalists.
Oh, that is fantastic
those corporate recruitment losers.
I'll do the talking, Brian.
Here's your shirt, Milo.
Guys, what are these?
Don't you know? The worse you look,
the smarter they think you are.
They are going to think
you're a genius, Brian.
I just said "Milo" and "Teddy",
and the wallets flew open!
They were dying to give me their money.
You guys are the greatest duo,
since Hewlett and Packard.
Lennon and McCartney.
Ben and Jerry!
I'm Lennon, okay Teddy?
Does that make me Yoko?
Alice, you've got to make him do
this startup with Teddy.
Gary, if he wants to go take a few
interviews... check out his options,
as his friend,
I think you should support him in that.
Want to know the best way
to manipulate somebody?
Yeah.
Don't try.
"As graduating students for the
Stanford University Computer
Science department,
"you have a magnificent foundation...
in theory.
"What you need is a creative,
innovative..."
- So pretentious!
- The guy's a fascist monopolist.
- Exactly.
The guy knows how to get people's
attention. He does.
Shut up... shut up!
I'm trying to listen.
"...will field your questions.
"Thanks for taking the time
to check us out.
"I'll look forward to seeing some
of you up here at the NURV campus
in the near future."
- Questions, cool!
- I've got a question for him.
"If you guys have questions, fire away."
Why not make SYNAPSE open source?
Don't you have enough money? Heh.
Here is an interesting question:
"What kind of beverages do you offer
your programmers?"
- Oh, come on!
