I was watching Adult Swim on Cartoon Network tonight. Reciently they switched to jazz music and white text messages o a back backgroung. It was durring the commercials, and they brought up a series of pannels, thanking Woz and Job, and all those people in Cupertino. And saying something to the effect that with out them, and their invention (The Personal Compuer\Graphic UI) their work on their pannels would be long and hard. Also setting those uninformed people about the origins of the PC. Good for them.

Yeah, this was mentioned in the Mac Sightings thread. Still very cool though. But what would you expect from the level of creativity you see on Adult Swim?

Very cool find. Of course, most creative professionals do use macs. But a good find none the less.

Yeah they posted this before, but I still like how they use them and give them credit.

A day or two ago, while I was watching adult swim, I saw that, and was the only one out of a group of 10 geeks that understood the meaning behind it!

We've already infected TechTV. We get nearly half their air time on Screen Savers, Call For Help, and Tech Live. Also a quite a few of their employees have been switching and/or learning to use Macs in the last year.

Oh, yeah well someone posted this in the Mac Sightings thread even before that. So there.:p

This thread has gotten pretty good with the takeover talk.
