Right because my Nokia 6610 always flawlessly handled VISA/MC transactions. Just look at the folk who jumped onto the NFC bandwagon as soon as Apple said they were there and then imagine if the triad managed to agree on an interoperable payment system instead of VISA/MC. PayPal is a simple example of paying for stuff without VISA/MC and there are plenty of other options out there.
Yes it's great to support hotplugged CPUs! 1969 called and they want to let you know they supported online reconfiguration back then too: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M...
Plug time machine disk 1 in, make backup, unplug disk 1, take off site, plug in disk 2, make backup, rinse repeat with however many redundant copies you want. You could additionally set up a tape drive however its probably cheaper and easier for a small office to buy a few large external portable hard drives and rotate them instead of a tape drive and multiple tapes.
Apple steals "KHTML" from KDE and calls it "Safari" Apple releases their browser code and calls it "WebKit" Google takes "WebKit" and calls it "Chrome"
You think that's bad. A former organisation I worked at had a similar thing happen where the Finance group bought a software package which was sold on "no IT department required" however the way we found out was even before they deployed it. It was of course a computer program so instead of the Finance department using their own budget allocation, the bought it out of the IT departments budget. When the CIO and the CFO had a meeting the shouting could be heard from the other end of the building.
Suffice to say the "no IT department required" bit was trash and at one stage we had a few people working on trying to deploy the system out.
Maybe all of those things were sitting in a store room somewhere elsewhere in the complex that was inaccessible due to the attack or too far away to go off, grab and hope the planet didn't explode in the mean time. It felt like they picked up everything near by and just ran through since there was no way back out the other way. Atlantis was planned better and they went there on their own time, weren't rushed and most importantly was more organised.
You've never forgotten something when you're rushing out the door?
xserve and xsan stand as examples of Apple in the server room and looking stylish as always. Being more expensive than every other server sort of killed it and they've removed both of those lines (XSan first and now dedicated xserves) in preference for Mac Mini Server and Mac Pro Server hardware which build on their more mainstream client offerings.
The problem is that Apple initially released their device saying that you wrote web apps for it and that would be the way to develop for it. And everyone hated, said it was a stupid idea and practically demanded an API which Apple subsequently delivered with a controlled way of deployment. The first iPhone SDK was for web apps and bashing Apple for delivering what was requested even if now we have it we realise it isn't so much of a good idea really just gets bothersome. More importantly Apple continue to make that gateway open for developers, Android does though to a lesser extent however Microsoft seem to have the view that anything that runs on a Phone 7 device will be Silverlight or else.
The worst thing about VBV was not actually having it set up properly and then having a merchant require it compared to others that didn't. I had this happen to me when I was overseas trying to get internet and all of a sudden I got slammed by this Verified by VISA thing that wasn't setup and I could get internet to get the details I needed to get it set up (catch 22). Sounds like a good idea until it gets inconsistently applied in practice.
To be honest that sounds like any 24 hour systems support role to me, pretty standard fare. Not a great job but someone has to do it and for that line it is a fact of life. Given a sufficiently large organisation someone is in a position where they're going to be paged at weird hours and depending on how your on call works (different people for different days, different people per week, etc) four nights in a row doesn't sound that hard.
To reasonably extend your analogy, they didn't come in through the front door - they came through the tradesman entrance. Services (trades) were expected to come through this interface not the general public. It is like testing the front door, finding yes you can come in but no you can't have that information and then finding that they left the services door unlocked and decided to waltz through there and get the information they were previous denied. Both are "public" entrances in the sense that they aren't strictly private to the organisation or it's employees (anyone might go up to the services entrance and knock) but not all may enter and it could be considered illegal to enter without permission. They may exist on the same shop front (perhaps a smaller door or slightly to the side) to complete your analogy or they might be better hidden.

Isn't that the XBox + Kinect? An on button and then you can use the Kinect to control it?
Luckily we've at least moved on from DOS:

Or even time machine will do incremental remote backups out of the box.

You can put unapproved apps on an iOS device with the iOS developer programme membership as well but you have to pay to get the certificate.
