Al Gore... by 7Prime · 2006-08-29 19:37 · Score: 0, Offtopic

Ahhhh! So THAT'S why the PowerBook was featured in An Inconvenient Truth so much! I wondered if there was some sorta Apple endorsement being made by Al Gore. It seems that it may not be quite as much the normal product placement, as Al really is a part of Apple. Interesting... Way to go Al!
