Where 'House of Cards' gets tech wrong (pictures)

The hit Netflix series "House of Cards," starring Kevin Spacey, dropped all 13 episodes of its second season this month, leading to much binge streaming. While the political thriller is filled with enough drama, plot twists, and excellent performances to make an HBO exec twitch nervously, it has some rather odd ideas about how certain pieces of technology work. Sure, letting the audience in on Frank's text messages via onscreen graphics is a nice visual touch, and the show's treatment of technology is actually above-average for Hollywood, but there are still some loopholes and embellishments, plus a few knee-slappers, worth pointing out.

Caution, spoilers ahead! Stop here if you haven't finished watching the whole season.
