I was watching National Treasure with the GF the other night and noticed something funny. Through the whole movie all of the computers are HP (as can clearly be seen by the huge HP logos all over EVERY computer) but in one sceen, the FBI agents are using a laptop, that when the camera zooms in on the screen, can be seen to be running some form of OS X. I found it funny that HP obviously was a sponsor of the movie, and therefore put their computers and logo in the movie wherever possible, yet the FBI agents were running some form of a Mac.

Hmm... I didn't notice that. I'll have to check that out the next time I watch the movie. Hey, BD, you'll appreciate something else I noticed in that movie. Did you notice that all of the bad guys are English? What up with that!?

Same thing happened at Texas State...bunch of G4s two years ago were taken. Sucked that we had scrounge for macs to finish our products. Fortunately I got mine after that semester.
In "Shall We Dance" Richard Gere has a G4 Powerbook, and in one of the office scenes there is a iMac G4! I thought it would suck as a movie(chick flick), but i actually enjoyed it!

On Law and Order Special Victims Unit, they always are using the Apple Studio Displays in the lab. However, they place Post-it notes all along the bottom to cover up the apple logo. Also, when they show it from behind, they just have one ridiculous looking Post-it note covering the large apple on the back. I have no idea why there would be a post-it note there but I have to say that I get a real kick out of it.
In meet the Fockers he had a mac (don't know the model, but you know one of the ones with the screen attached to the cicular base that you can pull arround) and he was getting his flight details off it!

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!!
Here's one the noobs won't remember... In the first Mission Impossible movie Tom Cruise's character uses a PowerBook G3 Pismo. The best laptop ever made before or since.
Edit: and I almost forgot. Jerry Seinfeld's apartment always has a mac in the corner by the window.
I just turned on the tele and an ad for INVESTools came on there was a 17 inch powerbook running panther with the logo covered up by a silver piece of tape.
