Hollywood interfaces

Funny post from December 5 about Hollywood versions of computers and user interfaces. From What code DOESN'T do in real life (that it does in the movies):

4. Code is not three dimensional. Remember in "hackers" when the gibson is depicted as a three dimensional city that the hackers must navigate through? Bulls--t! We may use a dash of color in our shell to make things a bit clearer, but last I checked my terminal app doesn't require OpenGL.

Strangely, Jakob Nielsen runs an a very similar top ten list today, over a week later, without referencing the above post.
