10. FireWall
iPod + fax machine(even if you coded OCR software) = fail!
-
9. Transporter 2
A guy being able to launch his car off a ramp and do a barrel roll to knock off the bomb on the bottom of his car is more believable than taking an iPod, grabbing a screenshot from a security camera, and then jacking it into your car to send auto-magically to the US Marshals office! Not even Jack Bauer has the audacity to try to get away with that (yet).

8. Independence DayOption 1: hardly anyone on Earth is using a Mac, so of course it would be able to interface with an alien OS. Option 2: These are vastly superior beings, so of course they would use a Mac-like OS. (Let the OS flame war begin!) READ MORE»
