Except unlocking decrypts the device (generally). Unlocking a suitcase (your other example) doesn't make documents readable.
The fact is, phones should be able to be wiped before travel and having a quick restore option that brings everything back 100% once you're past customs. There is no border restriction or inspection (encrypted) on transferring the same data over the Internet - even if it crosses borders. So why should it apply to the physical phone?
Electronic bits aren't physical. But if you argue that they are, they are encrypted and that's the end of it. That really is a key difference. You can physically inspect an encrypted hard drive all day long but it doesn't do any good.
Maybe that's more of a progress indicator to show the program hasn't frozen yet. The reality is that such a lookup would be faster than that, since the analyzed facial data points would already be cataloged.
It's nothing compared to password cracking software solving a password one letter at a time.
6. Hackers can pull signal out of noise floor in ANY SITUATION. Sharpening blurry photographs, pulling intelligible voice out of a noisy recording, un-deleting files, doesn't matter.
It was pretty self-explanatory to me the first time I came across the word (years ago). I could see that the Xs were to enforce pronunciation, but it relates to docs (as in documenation). And I think it was clear that they are verbing a noun (fairly common).
You win. To further complicate things, this laptop doesn't have VGA out. So you first have to build an adapter to fit the docking station port: http://www.zenspider.com/~pwil...
But that wouldn't be convoluted or Rube Goldbergian or not. I figure about 40,000 full-screen QR codes ought to do the trick. He just needs to code a QR code generator and point a video camera at it.
You have to give Google some credit. Their calculator knows the difference between a KB, a Kb. And given that a Kilobit is 1024 bits, the math above is off by a bit. Giving Google the raw numbers:
The problem with almost all of them is the power supply. Very few of them have anything close to a 2A power supply. And when they hit their limit, the output power decreases and crashes heads before the power supply dies altogether. Toshiba recently released some external 3.5" drives (with the drive included) where the power supply didn't even quite reach the power input requirements of the drive inside it or only had a margin of 0.1 to 0.2 amps.
I've had good success either replacing the power supply with something with a higher amperage rating or if I'm really nervous I use the molex off an AT/ATX power supply for the power side and the adapter just for data.
For laptop drives, you won't have much of an issue with a USB adapter - they don't use enough power to strain these things. But to be on the safe side, I would use a brand new one anyway just to make sure the power supply is still good.
It's the power supply on the cheap enclosures that's the problem - running the motors too weakly and crashing the heads. If you can use an AT/ATX power supply to power the drive and the USB adapter for the data you have a robust and clean power supply.

Clearly it's not a real GUI, but it's more like expository dialogue - it's there to help tell the story even if it's a bit unnatural.

If you had a coded paper letter in your suitcase, they can look at it, but they can't force you to tell them what it means.

Have you tried writing your GUI in Visual Basic?
Actually, Red Dwarf spoofed this one better (jump ahead 20 seconds for the better part):

I think CSI already knows this.
I'd say you got it nearly entirely wrong.
It's more of a TV trope:

I don't think anyone's suggesting it's reality anywhere but TV/media.
Why stop with one?
Even if your phone was x86, are you really going to get Win16 and 64-bit apps to run on the same device?
No, no. Don't you get it? It's the old joke - because 7 8 9.
Yes, breaking through the Windows with an axe saying "Here's Clippy!"
I think I may have just given myself nightmares.
Maybe Charlie Brown will finally kick that football...

Doesn't that make you the insensitive clod?
As much as it's medium rare steak compatible. They're compatible in the fact that they're completely independent (and unrelated) of one another.

Doses as low as 20mg/kg (in humans) are shown to be lethal (http://dx.doi.org/10.1081%2Fclt-200058946).
That's roughly 20 times the LD50 of nicotine. And probably right in the range of lots of other useful drugs.
I should have realized that. I looked above and saw Kbps when it really should have been Kbd.

160MB / 115.2kbps = 3.08641975 hours
Shaves almost another hour off the math.
