    Just look at the Microsoft "I'm a PC" commercial, you'll see a lot of celebs that use Macs. You won't see the Macs but just know the majority in that ad are Mac users. It amazes me that even they can be bought to advertise something they don't even use.

    They are celebrities. At the end of the day, I doubt they need to slave over a computer very much. They have people who do most of that for them. Likewise, they probably don't have a whole lot of input into the purchase of the laptops and whatever else they travel with.

    I would love to see real, not "random Mac rumor site" evidence of Eva Langoria outright saying she's a Mac user. Video of the moment would be appreciated also, and not a paid moment.

    So those celebs are Mac users whose opinions are for sale, and they'll lie about what they use and just prostitute themselves to the highest bidder?

    I guess I'll stick with PCs then. ;)

    You guys are such loosers! Who gives a **** if a celebrity with a mac? Does it give you more pride or something?

    Seriously... what's your problem...? No offense, but if you're so insecure that you need to go to the internet to insult people(because clearly no one here has insulted you). And IDK if you noticed, but this is an APPLE board... with APPLE users... APPLE users find it amusing, if you don't you can go over to some other board.

    Yeah, we're so pathetic, yet, you're the one who with-in 10 seconds manages to post a reply to my post... I wonder how many reloads of the page that was in the 5 minutes it took me to reply? Hmmm... Yeah, you need to take a lot at yourself, by the sound of it before you start trashing other people's habits... I mean, seriously, us posting pictures of celebrities, you, trying to wind up people you'll never meet in locations you've never been too... by the sounds of it you take it VERY personally...
    Sorry if this is turning into a flame war

    very ironic hahaha... you know there's a "User CP" button where you can press to see what has been updated?

    Here's a candy for ya... if it makes you feel better, yes, people with macs are very special because celebrities also have them.

    This is simply another thread that user can discuss and enjoy on this Apple forum. If the topic offend you so much, I don't see why it would, you can take it up to a moderators instead of insulting it.

    I'm glad that you want to express your view on this topic. However, instead of creating an atmosphere for normal discussion you decided to be a jerk. Don't expect people to treat you well after you portray yourself that way :)

    How long before Apple catches onto this idea and sponsors a "Mac Sighting" report from Mary Hart on Entertainment Tonight? LOL, if Prada made a computer you can bet all the celebs would be using it.

    It is also worth noting celebs get sent all this kind of stuff for FREE all the time. Clothes, watches, accessories, gadgets and likely laptops, etc etc... Companies do this in hopes of impressionable people seeing them with brand X of such product in a photo and then absolutely needing it because Jessica Alba has one.

    FYI, I don't use a Mac. And so what, you've obviously been updating the UCP about 20 times then. Seriously, I'm not trying to bring on a fight here, but you honestly fail at making people feel stupid about posting in this thread... the context you post things is primary school standards...
