Paranoid Marvin Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Well, there's no way to be completely sure about this, but if you go on to Scuzz, or other suitable music channel, you might see a song called 'Love to Let you Down' by 'Life of Agony' If I'm not mistaken, a guy in the video is using an IBM laptop running.... Mac! The video also has a Macbook Pro/Powerbook later on. Anyone else seen a Hackintosh on TV or elsewhere in the public eye? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordSte Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 I work at Geeksquad and one day I installed some memory into some guy's Toshiba laptop. After the installation, I powered it on and it booted into OS X. I smiled and said, "Hey, I've done that." It also made me wonder why someone who got a Hackintosh working needed to pay to get memory installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paranoid Marvin Posted May 27, 2007 Author Share Posted May 27, 2007 nope... its not obvious.. maybe if you are geeky enough to look at it frame by frame. Is this geeky enough? Looks a bit like an IBM laptop (though I haven't seen one of those for a while, so I could be wrong) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OMX-Knuckles Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 The majority of computers you'll see in music videos/movies/TV will have the screen contents prerecorded or put in in post production. I watched Office Space with some buddies last night- anyone else noticed how the Powermac 6400 (I think) that Peter Gibbons uses boots OS 8 from an orange C: prompt, or how the computer he installs the virus on is a desktop PC with OS 8? You see this a lot. The most notable exceptions I've seen are of course the SGI Crimson in Jurassic Park running the 3D version of 4DWM (don't recall the name ATM) and Jeff Goldblum's Powerbook 3400 in Independence Day with OS 8... but Open Firmware and the Happy Mac screen were replaced with the 2001 reference.

mac-mini Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 i saw a dell server running OS X in a dell small business ad Is this geeky enough? Looks a bit like an IBM laptop (though I haven't seen one of those for a while, so I could be wrong) its an IBM and this is obviously OS X (look at the top for the menubar) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
