Is there some publicity deal with the producers?
Do the computers work, or are they just props?

1232919 2011-09-22 04:35:00 It's a little ridiculous actually, filmakers will go out of their way NOT to promote a product unless they are payed for it. Have you ever noticed generic no-name products you've never heard of such as soft drinks on TV or the movies? If they have a product placement deal you will get a long clear shot of the logo or product name at some point strategically slipped in.

Apple must be spending some money right now, I remember seeing a few Sony Vaio laptops on screen a couple years back also.

To the point they had a discussion within the movie about his brand of shoes.
