Has anyone besides me notice in every ben stiller movie there is atleast 1 mac of some kind , such as meet the fockers there were about 5 iMac g4's and an iBook G4 in the first few minutes , and in other movies he always has a mac of some kind , i think it's pretty cool actually , even though it's advertisement for apple .

Set an iBook and a Powerbook next to any PC laptop ever made..... And you tell me...

It's a movie..... it's about looks... And Apple wins that debate hands down. IMHO.... Now... best for performance, etc... the jury is still out on that one.

I dont think there was one in Starsky and Hutch. It seems like it was supposed to be set back in the 70's, but not eveything was 70'ish

On a similar but sorta unrelated note... I'm sad to see that Ikea who once used Macs in their printed catalogs now show only Dells. Their furniture looked so much cooler with Macs!
