Silicon Valley Premiered on HBO on  April 06, 2014



In the high-tech gold rush of modern Silicon Valley, the people most qualified to succeed are the least capable of handling success. Mike Judge (“Office Space,” “Beavis & Butthead,” “King of the Hill”) brings his irreverent brand of humor to HBO in the new comedy series SILICON VALLEY. Partially inspired by Judge’s own experiences as a Silicon Valley engineer in the late ‘80s, the show kicks off its eight-episode season this April.

Well this wasn't a great comedy but it was certainly watchable and to find out you have a billion dollar idea and only using it for music leading 2 offers one a 4 million dollars for this app or 200K ownership of the app and support develop it with him. I think he made the right decision.

Well being unprepared for his meeting didn't go well thinking his investor would do all the business work and needing figure it out but finding he couldn't cash the cheque because it for pied piper inc not his personal account was sad way to end the episode.

Richard not realising he has developed a powerful compression algorithm for his website rather than just a music application but the bidding war on the phone was interesting and keeping control of the company I think was the right choice

I don't like beta it was awful couldn't get past first episode

Richard should or realised only selling 5% to an investor would mean his is still in control and it had to be his ideas the investor would help with but not noticing the check was made out to the company rather than himself was crazy

I thought having the check made out to Pied Piper was bad enough but to add insult to injury Richard discovering that the name Pied Piper is already registered to a sprinkler company was unbelievable and he was lucky to get the name for only a $1000 but he should of got in in writing the first time
Author: codebreaker    Time: 5-5-2014 08:45     Subject: 1x04 Fiduciary Duties

In hindsight Richard should of sold the company as he doesn't seem to be able to run his own company as he's easily lead astray

Erlich asking a graffiti artist to design Pied Piper's logo was out of order as he agreed to it for $10,000 without consorting with the others and the finished design was disgusting but the communication problems was amusing
Author: bala    Time: 5-5-2014 09:27     Subject: Reply 16#16 codebreaker's post

Yes it was disturbing but i have to say making every episode a problem in creating a business was amusing . I just don't get why they didn't keep the logo piped piper and get rid of the mural

I really didn't see the pot twist coming when open the door and Gavin buy it was ridclous

Kevin the hacker also called as 'The Carver' being hired by the team for two days @ $20,000 was surprising considering his age but him stuffing things up was karma and there is no way I would get in a driver-less car like Jared did

Sometimes the best idea comes from ridclous discussion but i was laughing so hard when calculating how to jerk off everyone in the conference in the most efficient way   but redesign it and having judge give them a file to test it out was risky but the fact it worked was amazing

Trust the guys to start arguing who was the boss rather than talk to the girl and I'm not surprised Peter Gregory's company was facing major changes after his death Monica trying to do what's best while dealing with her new boss Laurie was understandable but her idea to take a lower deal that will grow rather than the higher one that wouldn't made sense

This is the mistake most young technology companies make, taking the highest offer and that why they go bust because they become overvalued .

So much for the guys taking the lowest offer as with that court case looming you cant blame everyone pulling their offers and I hope Richard don't accept his offer

After holli massive failure hosting a live boxing fight they gang have prove there are better hosting a live event with their web streaming service but you just know it wouldn't work out but doing SWOT analysis on whether to allow a person to die because they like his girlfriend was amusing.

Going head to head with people who tricked them revealing the secret to their compression argothirm should be interesting as we know pied pier is better

Just great trust the guy to actually reveal the problem in case which gave him a choice lie or tell truth and glad he decides to be honest even if it mean he will lost the company.

Telling the guys to destroy the platform when he thought he was losing his company was predictable but finding out judge notice illegal employment Claus in the contract made it void was great but now he has rush back before they delete the platform but finding out they didn't code the deletion program properly was pure luck but after all that he's fired as CEO
