Every single tv show or movie that I've ever seen shows people using Apple/Macintosh computers or related products. I remember the movie blank check the kid called himself "Mr. Macintosh" and that in Independence Day people were laughing that he connected his apple laptop to the alien spaceship. I don't think I've ever seen a regular PC on tv or in the movies ever.
Also, why does the media promote certain products like the Tivo DVR and ipod, while completely ignoring other DVRs like replay tv, computer based dvrs, and other music players and protable devices like Archos? I remember when ipod virst made a video player people were going crazy over a tiny video screen, while at the same time players like Archos and Zen Media had much larger screens and more features.
Is there 1 company or something that controls which products get placed on tv and in the movies?
