Apple And The Boob Tube

Rick Zeman writes "The Washington Post talks about Apple's success in product placement in television shows. While 'Apple said it does not pay for product placement and would not discuss how its products make their way into television and films' television viewers are treated to the view and use of Apple products in such shows as 24, Sex and the City, and this year's biggie, The Office. Also from the article: '"Apple is the brand of people who are creative," said Lucian James, president of Agenda Inc., a brand consulting firm. "Where they are using Apple is sort of suggesting artistic-ness."'"

  1. Isn't it a pain to backup? by antdude · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    What happens if the HDD goes bad, wouldn't this be a pain to back up and restore? From what I understand, you have to have everything the same when moving to a bigger drive. Or reformat and partition the new bigger drive, and then copy everything over which is tedious due to three different file systems.
