Ok... I am not using any of those tactics to make up these questions, I have all of the Apple keynotes or stevenotes from 1997 to 2006 so I watch them to make sure all my questions and answers are right. The current standings...

beanboy89 - 5
Victor - 4
Stephen - 4
4 News Weather Now - 6
Gil - 3

Next question, I'll try to make on you have to research and not find on Wikipedia  :P.

For a while Apple made videos detailing all the features of their new computers. In the video created for the iMac G5 what song and artist were featured?

A. Exodus Honey by Honeycut
B. Lets Get It Started by The Black Eyed Peas
C. Perfect Timing (This Morning) by Orba Squara
D. Reach for the Sun by The Polyphonic Spree

Note: all of those four songs have been used by Apple at some point.
