    Cool. I can imagine the tie-in advertisements now...

    "Asus, the choice of 9 out of 10 criminal megalomaniacs." :D

    I noticed it. Looks like a w3v to me ;)

    The scene only shows a little of the lid, but I can recognize the Logo in the middle of the brushed aluminum cover. Also, the black plastic on the top of the lid is alot like the w3v/j

    I just saw the movie yesterday... I didn't notice one :(

    Have to say though, I was somewhat disappointed with the movie.... but that's a story I'll save for the Off Topic forum :)

    I didn't like the movie either :D

    But it's great that ASUS laptops seem to be gaining more of a foothold in the laptop world

    Yeah i didn't notice lex's but i noticed the daily planet chief's

    I wonder if ASUS paid a lot to have that advertisement. I thought it was interesting that after the ASUS laptop there was a scene with Samsung monitors at the Daily Planet (samsung was in huge letters!)

    yeah I noticed the Newspaper chiefs notebook.. it seemed liek the camera work tried to fuzz out the ASUS logo though, they made a shadow fall on it so it would shadow on top of itself so you couldn't make it out... iunno or maybe i'm just crazy lol
