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... ;)

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.

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.

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.
