One Stupid Thing Out of the Many Stupid Things in Terminator:
Salvation  There were a lot of stupid things in Terminator:
Salavation. Mark's review was, in fact, too kind. But there is
one really stupid part that bothered me from a gadget
perspective. SMALL SPOILERS AHEAD.  I'll keep the spoilery bits
to the minimum.   The two shots here with Marcus are snagged
from the trailer. They're from the most ludicrous scene in the
movie—which is ludicrous for many, many reasons—where Marcus
strolls into the central Skynet control center. The white,
glossy room—the standard motif for the heart of the
machine—hosts a computer system with an advanced user interface
(a lot like Iron Man's) displayed on massive glass monitors.
Which makes no sense whatsoever.  Why the hell would Skynet's
control room be designed with an ultra-polished user interface
for people to use? Or have a comfy chair for Marcus to hurl at
the computer? They're machines! Even though some of them are
built to mimic poeple, they don't need multi-touch,
