Where have you seen a Mac?

excuse my noobism, but i just recently switched to Mac. Now I have started to notice them everywhere. Where have you seen a Mac on TV or in the movies?i was watching Chappelle show the other night and ?uestlove was in the balcony and just to the left of him was some kind of Mac Laptop, prolly a powerbook. I also saw a movie (the few brain cells i have left did not retain which one it was) and anytime there was a computer being used by the main characters, they had a Mac. Enjoy this thread!!

Drew Carey show has an office full of iMacs.

Its ok to admit that you were watching 'Raising Helen'

The latest sighting for me was on Comedy Central's "Distraction", where they blew up an iBook…killed me!

I figured someone would have a site like that. I have seen sites like that for certain types of cars where they will list every small appearance in movies.

Has anybody seen the hit TV series 24?

at CTU everyone has powermac G5's and powerbooks and their servers get infected with a virus and they're talking about not exposing the Kernal to it

It's a great show anyway

saw that movie Constantine w/Keanu..Rachel Weisz uses a PB

I saw that too... I think they wired all of them to the iBook. **** even it hit the can of beans that would prob have ruined the iBook as well (it was open).

What I find more interesting, is that most of the Apple products have their logos covered whereas the other PC companies still have their logo exposed.

I noticed that on one of those "while we send you on holiday we destroy then rebuild your house" shows.

Also noticed an iBook in an Overstock.com advert. I guess they just needed a white notebook to go with the all white theme.

My girlfriend was watching 'Daddy Daycare' while I was studying the other day and I noticed Eddie Murphy was using a PowerBook to calculate his finances. Also, flipping through the channels about a week earlier I noticed that Eddie Murphy aslo used a PowerBook in 'Dr. Doolittle' 1 or 2, not sure which one it was. I wonder if Eddie Murphy is an Apple user in real life or something? Both PowerBooks were th 17" model by the way. Also an oldchool PowerBook is used in 'Independance Day' by the main cheracters to upload a virus on to the Alien computer system.

In every movie i see now there is usally a mac. It makes it look for fancy, or is it some sort of advertising??
I Justt saw "School of Rock" and one kid in the class had a PowerBook. And iMac's were all around the calss room.

Both, actually.

in the movie the sixth day, I think thats what its called, they had a wall full of imacs, the hd's were hidden, but the apple logo was right on the front.

In the movie "Ten Things I Hate About You" the Verona High counselor (Allison Janney's character) uses an old PowerBook G3 of some sort (Lombard?)

i was watching Extreme Makeover: Home Edition,How'd they do that. and the carpentar was using an iBook to look something up on the internet.

I noticed that a few shows or movies hide the fact that they are using a mac. If they're using a laptop; they'll usually put tape over the Apple logo or put another logo over it.
