" The 10,000 hour rule, based on a study by Anders Ericsson. Gladwell claims that greatness requires enormous time, using the source of The Beatles' musical talents and Gates' computer savvy as examples. The Beatles performed live in Hamburg, Germany over 1,200 times from 1960 to 1964, amassing more than 10,000 hours of playing time, therefore meeting the 10,000 hour rule. Gladwell asserts that all of the time The Beatles spent performing shaped their talent, and quotes Beatles' biographer Philip Norman as saying, [So by the time they returned to England from Hamburg, Germany, they sounded like no one else. It was the making of them.] Gates met the 10,000 hour rule when he gained access to a high school computer in 1968 at the age of 13, and spent 10,000 hours programming on it. "
