Not seeing anything about WPA.

You can pull those truly out of thin air and since they are rehashed 4000 times brute forcing those is slow even on most modern hardware. Generally in the range of a 1000 to 5000 keys per second.
More than a thousand years for a 8 character password. And you can't even use a shorter password on WPA.

GPUs do change the picture a bit.

Well, he is just a kid. Probably had some imaging tools on the local server and couldn't be bothered to get the disk out. A beginner's mistake!

But you didn't look closely enough. Those were open racks with motherboards on them. The red lights provide a nice movie style heartbeat status display.

It is intentional. We are entering the age of consumer driven technology development. Even Microsoft is betting on the BYOD bandwagon.

The problem is, and it's going to take considerable time taking the wrong road to understand, consumers do not know what is right or wrong for the task at hand. We are abandoning working tool sets for barely usable tech, and every new gadget manufacturer assumes that the influx of new users of that device is going to overshadow legacy users. Steven Jobs had a knack for doing that right, but Microsoft large advantage was always its legacy support. They are starting to copy Apple even in that segment.

Devices are becoming dumber. Average users are becoming dumber. The age of hell for IT support.
