I’ve been declaring to my mother’s husband for months now that CSI is in fact not a good show. My major complaint - the technology is just absolutely ridiculous. From Minority Report like operating systems and immediate 3d rendering of anything and everything you could imagine, the show tries to live in the present, but grasps at a non-existant future (plus, the show sucks). Anyway, case in point:
In this clip, our cunning crime scene investigator gets a call on an iPhone from inside an air duct at the 1:17 mark. Unless that things unlocked, jail-broken and on another network, it’s not getting crap for reception on AT&T. Then there’s the blatant lie, “That phone has outstanding reception.” I have trouble getting it even when I’m repelling from the top of one of their cellular towers.
