This had me in stitches..

"You can always zoom in more, as if you were using a telescope instead of a static image."

Pic from thread came out too small to read captions.

I had a strange habit of point out mac laptops in TV or movies to my friends, I don't say it any more but I still try and ID computers I see on film.

You can launch nuclear missles from any bedroom using an analog modem, but only if you know a single secret password (see War Games).


i'll try that one

If it's not a Mac laptop, it's a Dell monitor...

You never have to use the space-bar when typing long sentences.

I have seen some Dell XPS on shows lately

These crime shows that have the computer which displays in the air is unreal, but that is not what bothers me the most. It is the photographs that they can zoom in and pick out things that were too far away previously. It just defies all logic.

I've seen a few Alienware lappys floating around too. Only the 'young and hip' have them.



Actually, all this technology exists, but us mere mortals aren't privy to it because if we were, we would would never watch these shows

Again, much thanks and this one had me laughing my socks off! msl:

Some funny stuff, this is from Dark Angle, Season 2 episode 9. The .gif is showing them zoom in with a security camera facing away from the home, into the reflection of some lawn decoration, back to the home onto a guys ID card.

I made this myself woot.

It always gets me in CSI when they slide their hand across the desk and another monitor shot is showing in mid air, they can end up with about a dozen of them floating around.
