Or frisbie-ing a balky installation DVD across the room accompanied by shouts of: "WTF are you doing man?" and  "Bloody hell - calm down!" from your coworkers as it ricochets off the back wall and knocks over a tall latte. ;D

Just watched a very good 2008 movie, Body of Lies, with Leonardo DiCaprio and Russell Crowe. The OS on DiCaprio's laptop was Vista from the taskbar and title bars, however, the elegantly animated email program gave it away as yet another fake portrayal. It looked like an upgrade to the Apple-like email program used by Demi Moore and Michael Douglas in Disclosure (1994).

And here I thought terrorists only made videos and posted them to video sites like YouTube. Silly me. (Demi was definitely terrorizing poor Michael in that movie for merely satisfying her power freak.)
