pizza Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 They just put tape over the apple like they usually do on TV brand names. I dont know how this normally works. Maybe a film student could help explain this. I know HBO DOESN'T do this, as the main chick on sex and the city has a Pismo powerbook... ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
divinatum Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 they would have to pay apple to show the logo i think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bling3k12 Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 Something... to show a specific brand, you have to pay to use it. Like, when you watch a sitcom, you don't see them drinking Pepsi or Coke, you see them drinking "Soda" or "Pop!", etc... Some shows will use products, such as computers. I know "24" shows some G5's and Dell's and I do know that show that used to be on NBC, "Just Shoot Me" featured iMac's with the logo fully shown.

cochese Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 I thought the powerbooks didnt have any i/o ports in the back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the evn show Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 They don't anymore: they were moved to the sides. The old Titaninum powerbooks did have ports on the back, but they're hidden under a single flap that folds down. From left to right they go: Firewire, 10/100/1000mbit ethernet, USB, USB, <air vent>, DVI-out, S-Video out, wierd round port (line in?), 56k modem. On the right side is a PCMCIA slot. That's a dvi powerbook, so it's either 667, 867, or 1000 mhz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southern Patriot Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 The Drew Carey show also had a lot of Macs, particularly on Drew's desk (I know he went through a couple of different ones through the seasons). I believe there was an old one on Seinfeld as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
