Apple sightings on TV and movies?

[Tetano]

Yesterday, or the day before, on the italian tv news, there was an image of Enzo Baldoni, the italian pacifist journalist killed in Iraq, with his powerbook G4.... this post is also a good opportunity to remember him, and all the innocents killed in Iraq...

RTBF (Belgian TV station in French) has been obliged to not use Macs in all shows anymore. It seemed like they were promoting Apple, because they just used them too much.

Well, maybe they used many Macs.. But is that a reason to ban Macs from the screen ??

According to the latest series of BBC1's SPOOKS (Mondays, 21.00), MI5 (the spycatchers) is mainly equipped with Macs

This has to have been mentioned, but in the movie Runaway Jury there are Macs everywhere. Part of the movie, the bad guy is hiding stuff but they can't find where, a second look at surveillance shows he put the files on his 1G iPod, they are ordered to go back and confiscate the "mp3 player".

Being Iraqi british I'd like to say thanks for taking some care and consideration into what's going on over there.


Anyhow, on the BBC, Monarch of the Glen, the Lord person dude, has a powerbook G3. It made me laugh, because on the G3, the apple's upside down on the cover when it's open.

I then saw it on Eastenders (some dude had one) and one of the characters SMASHED IT UP!

Excuse me,
SMASHED IT UP! HE SMASHED IT UP!!!

There's also a reality TV type show on BBC2 at the moment called 'Spy' (I think it's a repeat from BBC3), where members of the public are trained to become spies.

I've not really watched much of it (it's an interesting programme, but I've usually been cooking dinner at the time), but when I have caught some I've seen them using OSX and I've spotted them some Powerbooks every now and again.


So, clearly Apple computers are a spy's number one choice.

not to be picky but i think it was control + esc +click (on pi symbol) to activate it. yeah that is a widespread key combo on a mac!!!


sorry if some of these are repeats i did not have time to read them all.
- seinfeld has always had them

- drew carey is a huge fan of them. i saw him on "the view" with those four women (i only watched because of him and the victoria secrets models on that day) and the "i love you" virus had just hit. the first thing they started talking about after they introduced him was the virus and they asked if he got hit with it. his one sentence response was something like "i use a mac".

- felicity had them (don't ask why i know that)

- gilmore girls had a new in the box ibook clamshell. I have only seen one episode and i was not near the remote and too lazy to get up to get the remote or change the chanel.
