It sounds like a bunch of Videosift regulars are from the SF bay area. I grew up in SJ, worked at NASA/Ames for a few years, had friends at Berkeley and IBM research and Cisco and Apple and... yeah, small world.

IBM Research? located in south SJ in 1952, 'cause of Stanford, Berkeley (HATE how he says it), UC Santa Cruz , & Moffett Field (NASA-Ames Research, but at the time was NACA).

Personally, I think Facebook is outside of Silicon Valley Proper, instead in AMPEX territory. Menlo Park (Stanford/HP) is the northern-most edge of Silicon Valley, whereas IBM marked the southern-most. and don't forget about Cisco & Silicon Graphics, whose machines were the bomb.

I grew up blocks from IBM and half my friends parents worked there (mine for NASA). I'm back here again in the Santa Cruz Mtns, Los Gatos.

Ditto. Most of their games were on on my Apple //c & IBM PCs.

Yep, it was neat back then. I played it on my IBM PS/2 model 30 286 10 Mhz desktop PC, but had no voices because it needed EMS.

bah sony exclusive...

only console ive ever owned was an atari 2600, then I got a trs-80, moved to Tandy 1000 EX, and every couple years a new pc even the ORIGINAL PS2 made by IBM in the 80's. I'm getting old. Been a PC gamer since age 11, I turned 39 last month.

But Quantic Dream stuff is pretty awesome.

I've never been a fan of Walled Gardens

I think if it were shot more recently, he would definitely include IBM's Watson Jeopardy-playing computer in the AI portion.
