Famous Mac Users?

[darkwing]

Shaquille O'Neal, Both Presidents Bush, Bill Clinton, Al Gore (obviously), Aaron Sorkin, Brian Singer (I believe that is the guys name-director/creative force behind the first two X-Men movies and the new Superman), Rush Limbaugh (sorry, but he is famous), I also believe that I heard that JJ Abrams (guy behind Alias, Lost, and M:I 3) uses one, but I am much less sure of that.

Yes infact every time a new PC virus hits the market and Rush reports it, he always ends the report with "of course Iiiiii don't have to worry about that...Iiiii use a Mac!"

Yeah, JJ definitely uses Macs - he was featured in the Grove Panther intro video. "Everything I do seems to involve a Mac". Which is why it bugs me so much that there are always only ever PCs shown on Alias, and the occassional iPod. Government offices just look so much slicker if they're covered in G5s and Apple Cinema Displays, ala 24.

Missing from that list is Stephen Fry -- fairly famous in the UK and extremely vocal about his love of all things Apple...

Have you seen his episode of Room 101? He says the idea of a TV programme about rubbish things is a bad idea and thinks there should be a "Room lovely" instead where only nice things go, and first thing he puts in as an original iMac - going off about how well designed and simple to use it is etc. Top man.

Annoying TV use of Macs at the moment is the BBC's football results spot at around 4.30pm on a Saturday...each pundit is sat there with a 12" Powerbook, but the Apple symbol is covered over with a tacky looking football sticker.

Roger Ebert - He made THIS PDF on a Mac. He's actually incredibly intelligent.

How about Arthur C. Clarke? The dean of Science Fiction.

BTW, Paris Hilton is not worthy.
Imagine being rich, beautiful, famous... then spending zero time helping the greater good. While a basketball player is pleadging $1,000 per POINT for the remainder of the year for Tsunami victims, Hilton is looking for another way to get her mug in the paper. She's an abomination that has captured the attention of the press and a horde of American trailer-trash.
