Anyoe else notice that in the AT&T Broadband TV banner ads on tech sites like Engadget and MacNN Forums...the laptop they use is a PowerBook (or a MacBook). In some ads, the image is flipped to where the optical drive is on the left, but it is still obviously an Apple machine.

Then I visited the site and clicked on system requirements to see that you need a Windoze machine.

Granted you can run Windoze on a Mac now (Intel Macs), but still...it wouldn't work right out of the box.

Trivial, I know, but it still irks me.

Edit: I just looked at the one, and it's clearly a PowerBook G4, because there is one magnetic latch and no iSight.

That's what you get when most graphic designers use Macs.

That's been happening for ages.
Look at a lot of M$ ads with Macs in it, even before the Intel Macs.
