Is it me, or am I seeing an ever increasing number of Macs (desktops and PowerBooks) in television programs, commercials and movies? I mean, even more than was usual, in years past?
Well, I think it is clear that Apple has always made a concentrated effort to
virtually "corner the market" in product placement in TV and movies... I can
count on one hand the times I have seen another computer maker's logo on some
computer on TV or the movies... in fact, I remember more examples of when NO
logo could be seen at all(!) as opposed to someone other than Apple.
I thank it's just that Apple has the most recognizible name in computers. And
often, when the TV/movie wants to simply get across that "X is using a home
computer" then Apple's logo, the most recognized in the industry, gets the
message across quickly.
For example: there are dozens of soft drinks besides Coca-Cola; even several
other colas... but sometimes, I see someone on TV or on the silver screen
drinking some non-descript soft drink that has the COLORS and the LOGO of
Coke, but is just labled "Cola" or "Soft Drink." (and I look for that stuff!)
It gives the viewer the impression that the character is drinking SOMETHING...
but U know it is a SOFT DRINK as opposed to Tea...
