Gallery: The Best of the Best Tend to Choose Apple
5:59 am, October 28th, 2009, Lonnie Lazar
Matt Damon is one of the two or three most bankable stars in Hollywood today. The Oscar-winning screenwriter and star of countless popular films in recent years has amassed a fortune that puts him among the top 50 highest-grossing film stars of all time. He was also named Sexiest Man Alive by People magazine in 2007. He takes his Mac out of his bag for Homeland Security just like you and me.
George Clooney. Need we say more? George Clooney.

Bruce Willis is also a Mac user. I remember reading a blog where this guys was on iChat and was speaking to Bruce on his iChat and he had screen shots to prove it. Why wouldn’t the best of the best choose a Mac, they are the best.

I believe it was Douglas Adams (a very devoted Mac fan, bought the first one to be imported to the UK) who said “Mac users might be the %5 of the market, but I bet they are the best %5″ or something like that.

This is fanservice, plain and simple. But I enjoy it all the same…

I don’t look at multiple pages as this is only shooting for page hits and I’m not into that. So I guess I’m only seeing the first page.

Shouldn’t Jay-Z be working on his HP Pavilion notebook?

I guess this depends on how you see it. Aside from the hacker, I’d bet the reason that these “big ones” choose the Mac because they don’t want to nerd around. They want things to “just work” so they can focus on their goals and dreams instead. Take the The Pope for example – he has way too much other stuff to think about: sweet little choir boys.
Painfully true joke aside, this is why I as a life-long “PC” converted – I found out that I could spend more time on my product than on the tool I was making my product on.

Just like to add one thing to Cloonys picture: he is dressed like Steve Jobs!
Apple fanboy for sure…

@ OlsonBW: you can thank Leander for that shot of Beyoncè in the bikini; I don’t blame you for not moving off of that page.
But you’re actually missing some pretty cool peeps inside.

@TheBrew
I don’t see how your joke about the Pope is painfully true. Give me any sort of evidence to prove that the Pope spends his time thinking about “sweet little choir boys.” Grow up.
Now what I wanted to say: I’m not comfortable with any laptop being that close to water!

This story, about all the cool non-tech folks who use macs, is like a story about celebrities who own fancy-looking sports cars and only drive them to the hairdresser on Rodeo Drive.
Not really much of an endorsement for Ferrari’s technical superiority, neh? More like form over substance…

Smart people like me don’t fall for sponsored propaganda.
Jay-Z and Beyoncè, both continually fans-harassed celebrities, just seated on a public place showing his macs?. No fans around?

@ Jared

Celebrity Mac users, MS fails, & more.

@ Rik
Yes, Jay-z was paid to shot a commercial for HP, but for some reason he chooses a mac. =)
@ iGenius
Sure, Kevin Mitnick, who the US Department of Justice called “most wanted hacker”, is a non-tech person.

Facebook is worth a few billion dollars. Sure, the founder must be non-technical. Heck, he probably coded facebook using crayons. (or not)

@ Marraco
Jay-z photo probably were taken at some private location such as a recording studio.
