Top 10 Things Hollywood Thinks Computers Can Do

An anonymous reader writes "From blowing up your keyboards to developing a malignant sentience, Expert Reviews rounds up the things that movie makers believe computers can do, even though they use the same technology every day to write scripts." I like the summary of how you crack a password in movies. I hate that this page splits into multiple pages. Very lame.

Amiga, the astute among you have by now noticed, is no longer with us. Apple, on the other hand...

....is still turning a profit by churning out shit that no one in their right mind would want (but can't seem to stop buying)?

Closed playgrounds (that just work), DRM (that mostly stays out of the user's way), well-designed shiny shiny, and cult-like peers.

FTFY

I'm not implying that Apple is the be-all and end-all of computing, but just because you don't perceive value in what they do doesn't mean that the value isn't there.
