arrow is about the comic book character green arrow except it's actually a vehicle for product placement

"We have this notion that if you're poor, you cannot do it. Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids."

As the audience reluctantly began to applaud during the silence, Biden tried to fix his remarks.

"Wealthy kids, black kids, Asian kids -- no, I really mean it." Biden said.

Apple: hey here's something that's clearly an ad showing cool people using our cool products
Microsoft: [astroturfing and ham-fisted product placement intensifies]

scummy marketing from a scummy company

then again maybe Apple isn't the best contrast to use there since literally every hollywood computer from 1990-2010 and probably onwards is conspicuously a Mac

i think there's some other factor at play there because they still use them even though they cover up the apple logo

The first in a series of two viral videos for Microsoft Recruiting. We were asked to help recruit up-and-coming ace computer programmers before they get snatched up by Google and Facebook. We thought the only way for them to appear fresh would be to do something they never do, poke fun at themselves, specifically in the context of how they are viewed in the computing community. Somehow Microsoft let the concept through. This is the result.

yeah afaik apple doesn't pay for any product placement. I remember seeing that apple gets more free advertising each year than most companies spend. I don't think that analysis included iPhones on live TV like the Super Bowl.

but iTunes works kind if differently and they advertise through the Voice and some big euro concert.

Apple does pay for some tv shows. see "promotional consideration provided by" in the credits. shows that have the apple logo covered up are ones that asked for money and got rejected. "House" was one where they did or didn't on various seasons and you can see his computer flipping between a pc and a Mac.

the reason they appear in movies is because writers use Macs so they write them into the scene. i can't think of a movie that had an apple promotional placement.

this ad both partially spoils the movie's ending with its tagline and also only shows the powerbook in its initial movie role as a death clock
