 Apple sightings on TV and movies? Here are the ones I've seen: Dark Angel: I forget the guy's name, but he's the guy that does "Eyes Only" and he uses a G4 Cube with a flatscreen and a bogus interface. Most likely Kaleidoscope's doing.  Drew Carey: At Winfred Louder (sp?) he uses a G4 Cube with a flatscreen and OS X in the later episodes of the series. Mimi is always seen with a teal or purple iMac, and on a couple epdisodes Drew has been seen with a tangerine iBook. Bernie Mac: Flower power iMac seen in the corner of the teen girl's room. Malcolm in the Middle: There's a Ruby iMac on a few shots. Post your sightings here!

| Carrie Bradshaw on "Sex and the City" writes all her columns on an apple. occasionally somebody else in a coffee house or something has one too. sorry i don't know all my models by sight. i think the boy on "My Wife and Kids" has an imac in his bedroom but i might be confused.

| Did you ever see the movie, "Showtime" ? There's a scene with a nicely placed G4+flatscreen running an Apple ad for about 5 minutes (or more). The screen is on camera the whole time. |

| Yeah that showtime tiBook ad is simply hilarious. It's so prominent and does well..nothing at all for the plot. THey give eddie murphy some stylish mac in there too when they redo his office. Also recently sighteded and most likely noted by many. The latest x-files episode has Scully in os x on a cube doing some vidoe ocnferencing. obviously Seinfeld is a classic here. Jerry had some random beige mac in his room for the lognest time and had a 20th anniversary one at one point iirc. trying to thinbk i know they're practically everywhere as my friends always grimmace when they see them in there hwne i'm around...and thta seems to happen a lot.

| I've often heard that Apple has a near-monopoly on product placement in Hollywood, as you can tell from the fact that most (it seems) computers that magically appear in a hollywood movie are Macs, even when it doesn't make any sense. Jurassic Park had macs. Quadra 900's or something, right? One place Apple didn't get, and I think the moviemakers made the right choice, was in Swordfish, that movie with John Travolta and some whiz hacker. They had some Panasonic Toughbooks (model 28 I think), which are killer, non-killable, laptops. http://www.panasonic.com/toughbook -Rob
