The Buzz Team does a much better (and by that I mean classier) job than the competition.
For instance, Microsoft's effort putting Windows logos on the back of laptops is quite pitiful.
Have you watched House of Cards?
You see Apple products in TV shows and movies a lot but I've noticed recently Samsung and Microsoft are getting more prevalent. There have been some blatantly heavy handed placements for the Microsoft surface in some shows like "Arrow" that made me roll my eyes.
Because those shows don't have actual cash advertising agreements. And they chose to have Apple products, anyway. They aren't all Apple, though. If you look close you can see other brands occasionally, and the same thing applies if logos are covered up.I've always wondered why I see so many shoes with Apple devices where the logo is covered up. Anyone know why this is?
Yes, filling a vacancy in a 20 year old team proves that Apple is dead.How about just come out with some new and innovative products....that will create all the buzz you need. Apple seems to be fading. Product innovation is tapering and they're concentrating more on marketing to sell more products rather than just let the products sell themselves.
So you haven't been to the movies or you were drunk and can't remember. That says nothing about Apple whatsoever.I Can't remember the last time I've seen a movie that didn't an apple product

Heck most Samsung phones look like "I"devices anyway. Even your example could be a Samsung to the uninformed eye. Would that money be better spent Getting Your Product Out! I been waiting for months of the new IPAD. I am still hoping/waiting for an updated MBP 17inch. (I know not gonna happen)
Uh, that stuff doesn't "just happens", it's all product placement/stealth advertising.. Apple pays for that, too.
My logic agree with what you're saying, and I also thought that too.
But sometimes Apple represent "Cool" or sophisticated and hip so the character in a movie or tv would use them, I don't know.. but that's kind of my thinking.
Jimmy fallon use lots of apple product in his show, I don't think apple paid for that, he's an Apple fan I think.
I always appreciated that Apple didn't pay for product placement.
So Apple has a job opening within a team that's existed for two decades and Business Insider (and now MacRumors) thinks this is newsworthy for what reason exactly (yes I know that is a rhetorical question)?
