Halt_and_Catch_Fire_(TV_series) shortsummary "After sending Cameron off on a business trip to retrieve the prototype ROM chip for her BIOS, Joe takes advantage of her absence to hire a number of new programmers. Joe's father arrives in town unexpectedly and calls to arrange a meeting, but Joe has second thoughts, and fails to show up. Gordon realizes that a liquid-crystal display will be needed in order to meet the design goals for the new PC. Joe argues that a LCD screen would be cost-prohibitive; however, Gordon reveals that his father-in-law, Gary Emerson, has connections with a Japanese electronics firm that manufactures the cutting-edge display and could get them at cost. After his father-in-law reluctantly agrees to broker the meeting for him, Gordon promptly proceeds to blow the deal by getting drunk at the meeting, and making disparaging comments about his father-in-law to the Japanese. In order to salvage the deal, Gordon goes to Gary in desperation and confesses his indiscretion, begging him to intervene and repair the damage. Cameron and Joe argue over Joe's decision to hire Steve, the new "Software Development Manager", along with several software programmers. Cameron argues that adding more programmers to the project will slow it down; however, Joe does not budge and a furious Cameron tells him that they're finished. When she later visits Joe's apartment to retrieve her things, she finds Joe's father there, waiting for him. While talking with Joe Sr., Cameron realizes just how much like his father Joe really is. Joe calls on the Japanese businessmen the following morning, unaware that Gary has already intervened. They appear satisfied, and agree to do business with Cardiff Electric. When Joe attempts to humiliate Gordon in front of his staff by relating the events of the previous evening, Gordon coolly informs him that he wasted his time: the situation had already been resolved before Joe even showed up. Cameron engineers an office coup to get rid of Steve: she installs Colossal Cave Adventure on the company's mainframe, and all of the newly hired programmers get hooked on the game. She deduces that those who cheated in order to win the game are the ones who are the most valuable to the company, stating that in order to cheat, one has to be good at solving and breaking code. Impressed with her ingenuity, Joe fires Steve and the excess programmers. Finally, Joe shows up at the Cardiff company picnic, taking out his anger and frustration on a Japanese import car with a 5 lb. sledgehammer at $5.00 a blow, as Cameron watches with fascination from the sidelines.".
Halt_and_Catch_Fire_(TV_series) shortsummary "Cardiff berates Joe and Gordon for taking the Giant to COMDEX without his permission; however, Joe responds to Cardiff's complaint by stating that the Giant made the company a substantial profit as he boldly predicted. He and Gordon manage to persuade Cardiff to cede a percentage of the company and operational control to them. At Texas Instruments, Donna is fired from her job after she deliberately tanks her performance review, likely as a way to appease Gordon for her indiscretions with Hunt. While QA testing the first production run of Giants, the engineers discover a bug in one of the machines, and Joe uses this as an opportunity to delay shipping and to ask the software programmers to create a killer application to bundle with the Giant. Gordon suspects that the bug is another one of Joe's engineered crises, and Donna convinces him that Joe has to be ousted from Cardiff Electric in order for Gordon to be successful in his new post. Gordon plans to force Joe out of the company by threatening to turn Cameron in to the FBI for her role in embezzling Cardiff's money. After parting ways with Joe and Cardiff Electric, Cameron creates a new startup company in her house called "Mutiny", intending to connect people with computers across phone lines. Cameron recruits Lev and Yo-Yo, her housemates and former Cardiff co-workers, and also tries to bring on Donna. While Donna is impressed with Cameron's work and ambition, she initially declines the job offer, assuming that she was a "revenge hire". When Joe decides to drop his plans for a killer app, Gordon drops his plan to oust Joe. Gordon hosts a party in the Cardiff Electric offices to christen the first shipment of Giants. After the party, Joe steals the freight truck, driving it to a remote area and then torches the truck and its cargo. Gordon invites Donna to work as head engineer at Cardiff Electric; however, Donna declines, deciding to work with Cameron at Mutiny. Gordon is unsure of what to do next after Joe abruptly leaves the company, going on a quest to "find himself".".
Halt_and_Catch_Fire_(TV_series) shortsummary "Cardiff's accountant, Alan, tells Bosworth that the PC division's deficit will take the rest of the company down by the end of next week. Bosworth tells him to keep the news to himself. In the Kill Room, Joe turns up the voltage on a live current, shocking himself, and reaches for Cameron. She touches his hand, allowing the current to flow through her. They have sex, and he then takes a private call. At a QA meeting, the engineers complain that Cameron's expanded OS has increased the machine's weight and boot time. Joe tells Bosworth that he has hired a new designer to work on the casing. Simon Church and his designs are introduced. Joe announces the name of the PC—"The Contrail", much to Gordon's dislike, who sarcastically suggests that the machine be called the "Cardiff Giant", and Joe unwittingly accepts his suggestion. Donna and Hunt present an analysis report to Texas Instruments executives. She suggests they drop the TI-99 from their product list. Hunt later congratulates her for suggesting the idea, adding that she should be bolder more often, which eventually causes her embarrassment when she tries to kiss him. Joe tells Cameron that he and Simon had a brief fling ten years ago. At a strip club, he and Bosworth tries to woo back Kenny, who doubles his original price, while Cameron tracks down Simon to get him back. Simon warns her that Joe will get bored of her, as he did with Simon. Kenny agrees to help, but Bosworth punches him for insulting Joe for not noticing the strippers. They decide to use Simon, whom Joe finds with a drunken Cameron. Simon later tells Joe that he is sick, but agrees to design the case. They kiss, and Cameron misinterprets it, nearly riding off in the cab. Joe catches it and cannot answer her when asked if he will get bored of her. At home, Gordon tells his children the story of the Cardiff Giant, and his obsession causes him to dig a pit in his backyard.".
Halt_and_Catch_Fire_(TV_series) shortsummary "Due to IBM's poaching of Cardiff's customer base, Gordon must fire employees that Cardiff can no longer afford, causing him stress at both work and home. Joe tells the remaining engineers the company will have a portable computer, weighing less than 15 pounds with two floppy disk drives, an integrated display, and keyboard, by the end of the year. Joe has lunch with Cardiff to discuss Bosworth, who soon arrives to be announced as the person to handle all the company's financials. Cardiff also reveals an arranged meeting with LouLu Lutherford , an heiress and potential investor. However, LouLu offers to buy 80% of the PC project for a paltry $10 million. Joe's frustration with the figure forces Bosworth to accept it, but Joe later seduces LouLu's boyfriend into kissing him and reveals it to her. She pulls out of the deal. At home, Gordon asks his wife Donna about motherboard ideas. She folds a sketch, suggesting stacked boards, thus doubling the power for the same amount of space. However, Brian Braswell, one of Gordon's engineers, kills the idea. Bosworth spots Cameron at the office and tells her she can work as late as needed, but she cannot live there, even though he apparently is temporarily doing exactly that. After getting a sizeable check, she stays at a hotel. Still struggling with the code, she goes to Joe's apartment and walks to the bedroom, while taking off her clothes.".
Halt_and_Catch_Fire_(TV_series) shortsummary "IBM's lawyers interview each compromised Cardiff Electric employee separately. Gordon tells them Bosworth and Cardiff approached him about a new PC program. After IBM's legal team leaves, Joe reveals his plans for the new Cardiff PC: building it with twice the speed at half the cost of the IBM PC. Joe is then introduced as "Senior Product Manager" of Cardiff Electric's new PC division. To keep Cameron separated from Gordon for copyright compliance, Joe sets up a "clean room" office so she can write the BIOS code for the Cardiff PC; however, she relocates to a basement storeroom. Gordon is promoted to lead hardware engineer of the PC project and is given his own office; however, he shows concern about Cameron writing the BIOS code, and Joe tells him that they will fire her once the BIOS code is complete and successfully tested. To put pressure on Cardiff Electric, IBM attempts to lure Cameron away by offering her triple the salary Cardiff is paying her and raiding Cardiff's customer base, taking several accounts and more than two-thirds of Cardiff's revenue. When Joe finds Cameron and a binder containing the IBM PC BIOS source code missing, he suspects that she took the binder to IBM. Joe, Gordon, and Cameron confront each other in the Cardiff parking lot and have a three-way argument with Joe and Gordon getting into a physical altercation. Despite the tension among the three, Gordon and Cameron support Joe's vision.".
Halt_and_Catch_Fire_(TV_series) shortsummary "It's 1983 in Dallas, Texas, and Joe MacMillan, a key player in the debut of the IBM Personal Computer, is questioning college students about their knowledge of several computing categories, including very-large-scale integration. One of the students, Cameron Howe, challenges him, and, later at a bar, rebuffs his sexual advances. At Cardiff Electric, a system software company, John Bosworth hires Joe, under the assumption they are not directly competing with IBM. Gordon Clark, a former system builder turned sales engineer, accompanies Joe on a sales call, and Joe blames Gordon when the sale falls through. Joe later refers to Gordon's article about untapped computer potential in Byte magazine when asking him to help reverse engineer an IBM PC. Gordon is at first reluctant to do the project, telling Joe that he has a wife and two young daughters to think about. Also, Gordon was publicly humiliated after the Symphonic, a computer he and his wife Donna built, failed to boot at COMDEX two years ago. However, Gordon comes around to Joe's proposal and over a long weekend, is able to isolate the BIOS chip and recreate the assembly language code. Dale Butler, SVP of Sales at IBM, tells Bosworth that Joe left IBM under mysterious circumstances a year ago, adding that IBM knows about the reverse-engineering project, and the two companies now have a serious problem. Joe and Gordon are confronted by Bosworth and Nathan Cardiff, the founder and owner of Cardiff Electric; the two inform Joe and Gordon that the company is being sued by IBM for several million dollars for copyright infringement of IBM's proprietary source code. After Joe reveals that he deliberately told IBM about his and Gordon's project, Cardiff and Bosworth have no choice but to enter the PC business. Needing a programmer with no prior connections to Cardiff Electric or IBM, Joe and Gordon convince Cameron to join the project.".
Halt_and_Catch_Fire_(TV_series) shortsummary "Joe makes preparations to go to COMDEX without Gordon, believing that the latter's presence could deter buyers who remember the Symphonic debacle from two years ago. The next morning, Bosworth finds Nathan Cardiff in his office, saying that he is considering cutting his losses on the PC project and closing the company. The FBI show up and arrest Bosworth for embezzlement and shuts down Cardiff Electric, declaring that all computer equipment would be seized as evidence. Gordon enters the Kill Room and hastily disassembles the Giant prototype to keep the FBI from seizing it. Meanwhile, at TI, Donna learns that her boss Hunt had resigned. At Gordon's garage, Cameron reveals that she was the one who hacked the bank's mainframe and stole Nathan Cardiff's money, claiming that they would've made the money back in sales. Cameron learns of Joe's engineered sabotage of her BIOS work when Gordon rants about how Joe comes out on top on Cardiff's misfortunes, further increasing the tension among the three. While trying to get pre-orders for the Cardiff Giant, Joe learns of a rumor that IBM would be developing a portable PC. Joe flies to New York to confront his father, and he reveals that the rumors are indeed true; however, the project wasn't intended to spite Joe. Joe, Sr. then offers the younger Joe a chance to return to IBM; Joe agrees with the stipulation that he oversees the portable PC project. When Joe returns to Dallas, Cameron and Gordon go to his apartment about going to COMDEX; however, Joe reveals his prior actions. Gordon manages to persuade Joe into staying with Cardiff and seeing the Giant project through; however, Joe reveals that he doesn't have the money to make the trip. Cameron convinces Joe to sell his Porsche, and the three plus Donna drive to Las Vegas in Donna's station wagon.".
Halt_and_Catch_Fire_(TV_series) shortsummary "Just as Cameron nears completion of the BIOS code for the new PC, disaster strikes, and she loses all her data, due to what appears to be a careless mistake, with Cameron laying her backup disks on a speaker, degaussing them. Further complicating the situation, Joe has brought in a reporter from a major business newspaper, and he witnesses the chaos with delight. Bosworth is summoned to a meeting by Cardiff, who seems to think he might be losing control of the project . Gordon turns to Donna for help with recovering the lost BIOS code. She proposes an ingenious technical solution for recovering the data, which eventually proves successful, recovering more than 90 percent of Cameron's work. Later, a suspicious Donna confronts Joe in his office and accuses him of deliberately sabotaging Cameron's work in an effort to generate some publicity for the project. Joe reaches into a desk drawer and produces the real backup disks, proving her correct. While driving home, Joe is pulled over by the police and savagely beaten for no apparent reason. When Bosworth later arrives at the police station to pick him up, it becomes clear that the beating was a pointed message sent by Bosworth to remind Joe who's really in charge at Cardiff Electric.".
Halt_and_Catch_Fire_(TV_series) shortsummary "The prototype computer is finally finished, and boots up successfully to the cheers and applause of the assembled Cardiff employees. Cameron proposes changes to the operating system that would provide a more interactive type of experience for the user, but clashes with Gordon and Joe, who both feel that further changes would only result in unnecessary cost and complexity. After making a rash, drunken promise to Donna that he will find a wildly popular toy for their daughter , Gordon soon discovers this will be no easy feat. After being cheated out of $80 in a parking lot transaction with a total stranger, he stalks the rain-soaked streets of Dallas on his self-imposed quest, with Hurricane Alicia approaching. He finally reaches the store, but it's closed, and in a rage he smashes the storefront window with a brick, snatching up the pair of dolls in the display. About to flee, he notes a big lightning strike around the corner, and goes to investigate. There he finds a dead woman lying in the street, apparently killed by a downed power line. Shaken and exhausted, he flees the scene. The programmers are becoming fed-up with receiving conflicting orders from Gordon and Cameron, and vent their frustration in an impromptu meeting in Cameron's office. Bosworth calls Cameron into his office for a drink and a talk. He cautions her to be careful, as there are those who would like to see her fail, as she "Represents the future." Having been invited to dinner earlier by Gordon, Joe shows up at his home, but the engineer is still out on his doll-hunting quest. Joe must then endure two boisterous children climbing all over him, as well as Donna's aggressive lobbying for there to be no further changes to the new computer. While playing with the kids, Joe has a sudden revelation about the revised OS. He stops off to see Cameron on his way home, and asks to see her work. When she demonstrates the "friendly," interactive functionality she's designed in, Joe is impressed, and he tells her so. He also finally reveals the truth of how he came by the terrible scars he bears. They appear to reconcile.".
Halt_and_Catch_Fire_(TV_series) shortsummary "When Joe, Cameron, Gordon, and Donna arrive in Las Vegas, they learn their reservations have been cancelled due to Cardiff Electric's assets being frozen. Studying the convention brochure, Gordon hatches a scheme in order to get booth space and a room. Joe and Gordon manage to secure a suite with Gordon sinking another company's lackluster presentation while Joe poses as an IBM representative to backup Gordon's bluff. Donna and Cameron persuade the convention floor manager into selling Cardiff Electric a vacant booth, and Cameron uses guerrilla marketing tactics to successfully draw attention to the Giant; however, Gordon and Donna discover that the computer is not booting. When convention-goers come to Cardiff's suite to see the Giant, Joe distracts them with booth babes from a neighboring porn convention. Eventually, Donna and Gordon get the Giant working again. The next day, on the COMDEX floor, the Cardiff Electric team notices a large gathering at a particular booth; Donna realizes that her former boss Hunt was selling a knockoff of the Giant called the Slingshot. At their hotel suite, Gordon accuses Donna with having an affair with Hunt, which led to the creation of the Slingshot. Joe informs Gordon that the Slingshot is faster and cheaper than the Giant, and if they don't do something fast, Cardiff is done. As an attempt to improve the machine's speed and reduce its cost, Gordon removes the daughterboard dedicated to Cameron's operating system. When Cameron discovers this, she protests, upset that Gordon stripped out what made the machine unique; however, Joe sides with Gordon. Despite having to strip out Cameron's OS, Joe successfully pitches the Giant, defeating Hunt's Slingshot and securing a large pre-order from a computer retailer. As Cardiff celebrates their hollow victory, Joe stumbles upon a gathering in another room where the Apple Macintosh is being demonstrated, and he realizes that the Macintosh is the future of computing.".
