hi

iv noticed that whenever you watch a movie/show/documentary...etc... on TV they almost ALWAYS use a Mac, or a 'pretend computer' (especially in Spy movies) with it's own 'spy-ish' OS.

has anyone else noticed this too??

is their some sort of royalty thing Windows make TV shows pay if they use Windows??

Just wondering that's all lol

Definitely! They are everywhere. Too bad they don't always have the logo shown so people know, but it's really cool they're out there.

Here's the thread that's been covering this subject:

Where have you seen a Mac?

It called the "blue car syndrome" (i think that whats it's called)

Example: You have a blue Ford Focus. Everywhere you look you will notice blue Ford focus but before getting the blue Ford focus you don't notice any.
