The new Bourne movie didn't get the message, unfortunately. Some of the worst hacking nonsense ever.

Legendary hacker Hacky McHacky typed swiftly on the IBM M Model keyboard with the fingers attached to his hands. He hated laptop keyboards, they made his eyes flash like thumbdrives.

The Model M is a designation for a group of computer keyboards manufactured by IBM starting in 1984, and later by Lexmark, Unicomp and MaxiSwitch. The keyboard's many variations have their own distinct characteristics, with the vast majority having a buckling-spring key design and swappable keycaps.

Hacky's nostalgic reverie about IBM keyboards was suddenly interrupted when a voice spoke, chillingly close, coming from the other side of the server hall. "Drop that keyboard McHacky" it said menacingly.

OT, but WOW! What a tedious movie! By making everything instant (because people will get bored if there's ever a change of pace?) they manage to make it super-boring. The thing that made the previous Bourne movies appealing was that there were some slow moments between the action.

   "We've found a phone in the room Bourne is in! Hack it and then hack the laptop next to it!"
