I would suspect that if a studio used a lot of Macs, they would also have a few that could be used for props lying around. And I have no doubt that actors tend to prefer being seen using a Mac than a Dell. The cool factor, you know. Add that Jobs knows how to make placement advertising work, and it just fits together. Besides, who notices PCs?

Thats a good point. You certainly notice a glowing Apple logo, especially if its a dark scene.....

I'm sorry, but if people need a certain computer brand to feel "cool", then in fact they are effing losers.

Ahar, thar be fanboys!

I find it funny when they cover the Apple logo in movies/TV shows....like people can't spot a mac product.

its because Mac's are "cool". I've been using apple products since 6th grade. Got my first Macbook in 9th grade. but ever since the ipod came out Apple has been the "cool" option. Hald the kids that have macs don't really know how to use them. They just use them for surfing the web, they just want the name, not the OS

Most people are losers, but not because they want something 'cool'. People are losers when they do anything based on vanity over logic.
