Celebrities and Apples!!!!

MI5 use Apple's computers. I saw it on the BBC's Spooks, they even had a virus once.

The scariest part of that thread is edesignuk's comment:

That must have been during his pre-Knightley phase, a sad sad read indeed. Dated back in 2002 so I guess I should cut him some slack, but even then, what about KK?

Come to think of it, was she fully "discovered" back in '02?

in fact i remember reading that jai from queer eye (the 'culture expert') can't live without his ibook.

Dell Corporation

That's my favourite from this page.

Some other people that weren't on that list are Spike Jonze, and George Bush (senior, not sure about Jr.). When the iMac G4 came out and Apple sent out those little booklets that had all the info in them. They said the current, and last presidents are Mac users (then Bill Clinton).

The late Douglas Adams was a long time Mac user.

From MWNY 1998.

Someone even bought one of his old Macs off eBay.

I noticed in the movie "Monster in Law", there was a Mac in the backround. It was one of the scenes with the doctor's bedroom.

Ray Romano's character in Everybody Loves Raymond, Ray Barone, uses an old Powerbook G3. It was lying in his lap as he slept on the couch and his brother walked in, woke him up and said something urgent. Ray threw the G3 onto the couch.

Meh. He's still one of the funniest guys in the world.

Sarah jessica parker in sex and the city used one regularly - and even got a virus on it.

And I know Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson use them - was on Newlyweds.

I've seen a picture of Mariah Carey using a PowerBook G4.

Alton Brown, of Food Network's Good Eats owns a 15" TiBook and a 12" AlBook. I remember seeing the TiBook make an appearance on one of his shows, think it was the macaroni episode.. could be wrong though.

Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails uses one. It was featured in the video for "Only" which is probably on the iTMVS

I'm pretty sure Tom Clancy is a Mac user as I seem to vaguely remember a quote by him I saw on here. Something about not asking someone what kind of system they have, they'll tell you if it's a Mac and if not you don't want to make a fool of them.

"Never ask a man what computer he uses. If it's a Mac, he'll tell you. If it's not, why embarrass him?"

Douglas Adams was a big Apple fan (it's said he was the first person in the UK to buy one – how accurate that is I don't know but he was certainly a very early adopter)

Have you read any of his articles for various Mac mags? Brillaint. "I've got a good joke for you. Mac Portable."

The BBC use them for everything but the news, where they use Dells In fact, ITV use Macs everywhere, too

there's a picture of Jenna Jamison(yes the porn star) using a powerbook...amung other things. Let's just say the pic is not safe for work.

How do you like them "Apples"
