* NostalgiaFilter: Desmond feels like a kid again when his first computer is mailed to him by his uncle. He snaps out of it when it's pointed out that it would take every remaining computer of that model to match the processing power of one {{iPhone}}, and use way more electricity.

* NotMeThisTime: Someone "forked" Desmond's pet project. Whoever it was included petty insults towards Desmond in the "Auger Manifesto". So it has to be [[TheRival Umesh]], right? Wrong.

* NotWhatItLooksLike: Desmond and Owen are caught in the middle of a wooded area, in a motor home, wearing hazard suits, surrounded by empty cough medicine containers. Fortunately, the guy who sees them believes Desmond when he explains they are ''not'' making drugs.

* ChekhovsGun: Owen once acquired a worthless company through horrible investments. Then Desmond's incredibly rare keyboard breaks. Guess what company made it?

** Fang comes off as this sometimes, but WordOfGod says she has nothing against Desmond (who she most regularly antagonizes), she's just doing her job as a tester. Frustratingly well.
