  • Awesome Music: "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" by Tears for Fears
  • Funny Moments: Ballmer trying to get Gates to come out and party with him, claiming that he found some co-eds that started going crazy when he said he was friends with some computer programmers, before proceeding to act out the part of a passion-crazed woman crying out the name of programming languages. Really, any of Ballmer's scenes teasing Gates. Ballmer is played by John DiMaggio, so of course they're funny.
    Bill Gates: Honest to God, Ballmer. You have no culture.
    Ballmer: Oh yeah, like you go around reading Plato! You're the only guy I know who can make furniture out of Playboys. Look, you got enough to make a chair. You don't have to worry about 'em moving around, 'cause they're all stuck together...
  • Harsher in Hindsight: Jobs calls out Wozniak for his choice in eating french fries in the beginning of the movie (this was when Jobs was on a fruit diet), claiming Woz was doing nothing but putting poison in his body and shortening his life. At the time of writing (2018), only one of these two is still alive, and it isn't Jobs, which many argue was due to some questionable health choices on the latter's part, such as delaying treatment for his cancer in favor of alternative medicine and diets.
