I just recorded and posted the ad that I was talking about on youtube. After watching it again the LOT8s on the TV is acutally the XL v.2. so it must have been filmed a long time ago!

I just wonder if anyone else here has noticed that the commercial for the Local on the 8s where there is a woman (Jill) who is deciding what to wear that day and the Local on the 8s starts talking to her and tells her what the weather is and that what she has chosen looks good. Anyway if you look at the TV it has the IntelliSTAR v.1 with the old TWC logo.

I don't mind if people look up the answers, some of these questions I had to look-up myself to be sure I was right and I don't think that anyone knew the exact date the last powerbook was discontinued right off the top of their head.

Ok well this one was a bit confusing but the answer was actually B, AirPort wireless networking, he jumped to prove he wasn't connected to anything. If you don't believe me I posted the video from Macworld on my server and they mention that it is to demo wireless many times during the demo. I will though give points to those who said Tangerine because that was right
