I believe it was just doing a bluetooth download from the PDA/cell
phone, so that at least was plausible. (Assuming no security was set on
the phone, or that the lab had the backdoor codes, etc.)
Those computer displays are ludicrous. A clear display is engineering
masturbation, and pretty useless to get any actual work done on. I won't
bother ranting on the 2-second database searches, but the 'green rain'
backgrounds are a joke. Any decent sysadmin would turn off eye candy
like that the first week- horrendous system overhead. A real government
office is lucky if they can get flat panels, much less touch-sensitive
wall covering displays, or digital desks. Even with the new hi-rise lab,
the hardware on NY is much more plausible. The original in LV actually
looks like a government office, mostly. None of the CSIs are as bad as
24, though. That show just makes tech crap up out of whole cloth.
(Yes, I do work in IT, and for the government, so I do know at least a
little of what I am talking about.)
