Was there ever any doubt? Seinfeld uses a Mac

We all knew Seinfeld had a Mac at his house for all of those years on his show.  Then Microsoft paid him $10 million to do a few PC commercials.  But really, when not getting paid to say otherwise, we know he uses a Mac.  This week's Curb Your Enthusiasm had him at his desk a new 15-inch MacBook Pro.

what a story NOT worth posting... and by the way, this is kind of old too... it was shown on Curb last Sunday!!

And you don't think Apple paid for that...

I don't think they did. I've never heard anything about Apple paying for the Mac on Seinfeld. He probably just brought his own computer to the set.

Troll much?
Because obviously no one would actually use a Mac unless he was paid to, huh.

Congratulations for your deep insight. No doubt it's a source of endless laughter among those who know you... even if you're not always sure why they're laughing.

I really do not consider his

I really do not consider his response as being one from a Troll by definition.

I think everyone has a right to their opinion even if you do not like it.

In my opinion what is so special about him having a Mac (in his presence)? Is this supposed to accomplish something?

Think much?

I guess I missed your actual point since you were so busy laughing; but I think it's a valid observation that you can't believe everything you see on TV. Every time you see a logo on Network TV it's either been paid for or been donated to the production. Whether its Dell or Apple, those computers didn't get brought in by the actors; there are people at both companies whose job it is to get those computers on the shows. Why do you think there are so many T-shirts & baseball caps blurred out on reality shows? It's not because Coors didn't give permission to show their logo - it's because they didn't PAY to show their logo, and the network doesn't want to give away the placement for free.

WOW, what news this is... Are

Are we supposed to jump around in circles and get a black jelly bean now?

Ah, I see the Apple koolaid

Ah, I see the Apple koolaid is flowing with the thumbs downs

What is interesting isn't the

What is interesting isn't the hardware, it's if he actually is running Windows on that Mac. Which I bet he is.

That would be a very stupid

That would be a very stupid bet. Hopefully you wouldn't make it for real, if the truth could be verified. He is not in an industry where Windows is dominant. Is it possible you really don't know that?

Which industry is that?

Which industry is that? Retired people?

Even I doubt that.

Even I doubt that.

VM for the win!

 Why not using Windows (and nux) with a VM on a mac, its best of both world. For me it's been a good way to test and QA for Web Dev... 

It also helped me switch from Windows to OSX 2years ago, now 99% of my computer time is on Snow Leopard.

Well I guess we wont know,

Well I guess we wont know, but I too think there is a good chance it is Windows (7?). No one can be morally okay with doing Microsoft commercials than jumping (back) to OS X like that. Then again, it is Jerry =D

so it is not worth to write a comment, isnt it?

I admit I'm relatively loose

1213

I admit I'm relatively loose on fact versus fiction, but Curb is a show that includes fiction, isn't it? So, you know, anything that happens on can't really be confirmation of any real-life fact.

who the fuck is Seinfield?

who the fuck is Seinfield?

What the fuck is the internet?

Hope it runs better than the new iMacs.

I doubt it. Most people

1211

I doubt it. Most people aren't having problems with their iMacs. A vocal few on the internet blow it out of proportion. It is a problem that needs to be dealt with by Apple for sure, but you can't assume that every new iMac is having problem. Mine isn't.

So, only a few vocal

1115

So, only a few vocal customers have issues. Funny how only vocal people have issues...

You have cause and effect

106

You have cause and effect mixed up. Rephrase it as funny how only affected people are vocal, then consider.

No, I don't. He said a vocal

118

No, I don't. He said a vocal few, not a few affected that are vocal.

Well...

When people like him, and many others make that much money, I just don't see why they shouldn't use a Mac. I mean, everybody (maybe exept skinny MS fanboys with glasses) know that mac is best, exept that they are expensive.

When you got so many millions, why not use a few grand on a mac? But seriously, I would had both... roflmao xD

i'm skinny and wear glasses

i'm skinny and wear glasses BUT i use a Mac :D

Useless

The comments here are really useless, huh? Sheesh. Are they here only so someone can say something so someone else can then put them down?

you should expect silly

you should expect silly comments on such a ridiculous story :)
