Apple sightings on TV and movies?

On the Discovery channel they were at a university where they taught design for space habitats.In their class there was a mix of other platforms but the Apples were plainly visible.
 
The Secret life of us, an australian series they always use macs mainly ibooks i think it is the G3 ibook (the colour ones) and then the G3 Ibooks running OS 9 (i don't really know ibook models that good).

Then there was this weird yet crap ad for ice-cream liquid yogurt or something lol, they had G3 iMacs there they werent turned on though.

A Russel Coit Tv ad has internet explorer open on mac showing his site as welll as Huey's Cooking show he has Ie open on mac too. Another ad showed the G4 imac i think it was an olay ad yanno the make up thing in australia ... hmm yer
 
The Dyson Vaccuum commercial has a powerbook in the background.

NBC's Las Vegas this past monday night had a 17" powerbook as their portable link to the casino security pit. nice!
 
Was watching Oobi (on noggin) with my daughter the other day and I saw an iBook (opened and displaying OS X) in the background of Oobi's doctors office.
 
In Meet the Fockers, Gaylord "Greg" has a 14" iBook G4. Robert DeNiro's Character has a nursey set up with 4 iMac G4's and iSight Camera's. :) My girlfriend thinks i am sick cause i noticed those right off the bat. :D
 
Veronica Mars, Season 1, Episode 12. This is a strange one. Police office, IBM display and something non-Mac OS X in the background. But you _can_ see the low battery warning of OS X on PowerBooks and iBooks. ;) I guess that might be a glitch, but it could also be a nice little hint for us Mac-heads. ;)

(It's a DESKTOP computer, for Steve's sake!) ;)

I was watching Nova (about the Mars rovers) last night on PBS and just about everywhere you looked you saw NASA guys with Powerbooks. I saw 1 person with an iBook, guess he was an intern.
 
the new Wim Wenders movie "Land of Plenty" have a very prominent ibook in it (and an iPod). Really good movie. you should all see it.
one of the main characters carries around her ipod everywhere and at night she uses ichat and Mail to keep in touch with her boyfriend (?) in Israel. Lots of macosx in close-ups, complete with minimizing windows and Dock etc.

funny observation: she has a room in a really poor mission in an even poorer part of town, but somehow she has access to wireless broadband 8)
 
A couple of days ago they showed a piece on "Hypersensitivity to Electricity" on BBC World News.

They were doing a study at Bristol University in England, and had a great shot during the interview : 33% interviewee / 67% 20" G5 iMac !!!! Great interview!

:)
 
I was watching a US News opinion program on Fox News called Hanitty & Colmes and they were making fun of each other Hannity is was ripping on Colmes about what he had in common with George W. Bush, it was an iPod. Colmes admitted both he a the president both had iPod then they showed a picture of the iPod. I thought it was kind of funny of see it there.
 
I was watching "Malcom in the Middle" and the episode took place at a zoo. The zoo medicall offices had about 10 emacs of differing colors.
 
Princess Diaries - Clam Shell (Bluberry I think) iBook

Drama Queen - Lindsey Lohan the whole Orchestra is Powerbooks - 20 to 30 of them
 
In Meet the Fockers, Gaylord "Greg" has a 14" iBook G4. Robert DeNiro's Character has a nursey set up with 4 iMac G4's and iSight Camera's. My girlfriend thinks i am sick cause i noticed those right off the bat

you're not the only one - even PC people comented that the whole film was apple product placement gone mad - greg even "shows off" quartz features by minimizing something to the dock - he really didn't need to do that, he may as well have held shift while he did it.

shameless!
 
On the show Law & Order:SVU the other night they had a new display clearly visible running OsX.Ironic as the episode centered around gamers & their nefarious doings.Also on CNN's Crossfire they were also discussing what "Dubya" was playing on his iPod.Paul the lefty was waving around his pod while Robert Novak the righty was wondering if the thing could play his Italian operas.:rolleyes:
 
Noticed this evening the Pacifier with Vin Diesel had an iMac in the movie.
Interesting,since reading this column and becoming a new Mac person I have seen more Macs than the PC in the Movies. Any reasons why other than marketing?
 
I saw an episode of some makeover show called "Swan" on Aus TV this arvo. The plastic surgeon used a 12" PowerBook plugged into a 20" new Studio Display.
 
On neighbours at the moment, Paul Robison (one of the actor's name in the show) has a 15 or 17" (dunno which one) inch Powerbook. Sometimes it is off like in one scene because the apple logo isnt lit up but other times it is on and he's using it. You never see the screen though.
