Everywhere I look I see Macs

Maybe it is just me or maybe I am just now noticing this but just about every TV show or movie I see that has a computer in it is a Mac! Now I am relatively new to the Mac world, about 5 months, so maybe this has been going on for a while and I was just too busy trying to keep my PC safe from viruses and removing the same bleeping adware/spyware for the 50th time to notice until now.

I would say a majority of movies and television shows that the characters use computers they use apples. I first started noticing it when the clamshell iBooks came out

I think the reason why they use them in the movies is because they are better lookin than dells and such but thats just my opinion.

First time I noticed one was on some program that sent the homeowners away whilst the house was destroyed and rebuilt. They did a video chat w/ the folks using PowerBooks and the iSight. However they did have a piece of tape over the apple on the lid.

Ever notice the iBook in those Overstock.com adverts?

If apple had a deal with these shows to use them, then why would they cover the apple logo. seems to me the whle point behind giving these shows an apple comp is to show off their items with the logo. I think its just sexier to have a nice shiny ibook or powerbook sitting there then some other machine.

I believe that is why Apple make their hardware distantly different, so that it can be identified with or with out the logo.

I've always thought the writers use Macs so when the scene calls for a computer, they just take one of the writers' but who knows. There's some commercial around here but I can't remember what for that uses a 17" PB just to display their logo.

I think theyre used to add style and class to it all, instead of a gray box. Ive seen almost every movie now has a mac or apple product in it. and almost 90% of all movies, if you watch the credits all the way through htil the logos, theres an apple logo.
