We have a breach! Not only do they read “News Blog” but they know about IP addresses, a closely guarded secret among hax0rs. These CSI guys are getting pretty l33t. It’s short, but this video has to be one of the worst instances of bluff tech writing I’ve ever seen — worse than 24!
And for your pleasure: A creative Redditor has put together an awesome artist’s impression of what her Visual Basic GUI might look like if they showed it.

Holy Shit. Not one jack ass on set had enough intelligence to pick up on that and point out that randomly choosing “techy” words and splicing them together in a sentence doesn’t work?

or the artists impression of what she went on to do.

Simple answer: Product Placement.
I know the firm that does PP for CSI, and the shows whores themselves out like few others in H’wood. HP, Cisco, Plantronics all recently had what they consider “great” results from their product placement in the show (how the hell do they measure that?). Microsoft uses the same firm, and paid to get SOME kind of developer-related messaging to the scripts, somwhere.

I find it funny how they always fit in the word “isolate”
