Check this out: at a recent Twitter Town Hall hosted at the White House alongside Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey, President Barack Obama sent his first live Tweet… and did so on his MacBook Pro, modded with a conspicuous presidential seal over the iconic Apple logo.

The logo is covered up with the Presidential Seal. Apple declined to pay the product placement fee?
G. Bush also uses Macs!
Bill Clinton i do believe.
But those people are NOT cool!
Dave McKean and Sonic Youth guitarists use Mac, now those ARE cool!
He does not want to mess with Bill Gates.
I dont think this help Mac any…almost makes me want to go back to PC
Only if you lived in a cave in the last 10 years can you mistake an Apple laptop like that…
So your point is kinda invalid :)
Blasphemy! Covering up the Apple logo with the Presidential Seal. They could have put the seal just below the Apple logo.
It was obviously a joke -.-
Ironic, since I’m sure he’ll send the antitrust hounds to Apple quite soon (if not already) for being “too successful”. We can’t have that level of success in his Socialist America. (Unless you do it by selling millions of ghostly written autobiographies that is). Twitter should watch their backs too (if they ever make that socialist dreaded concept called, a profit).
