I love the Planet of the Apes, at least the original movies from the sixties and seventies, I'm not as big of a fan of the newer movies, hopefully this one will be good. The worst one made was probably the Tim Burton version, in my opinion. It wasn't epic at all. I'd rather watch the tv series from the seventies instead of any of the newer movies that have been made.
If a Planet of the Apes movie were to be realistic, and if the Apes have the most advanced society, then the apes should be using iPhones and if the humans are primitive, then the humans obviously need to be using Android.
The current world kind of reminds me of Planet of the Apes, a lot of things are backwards and upside down. I also believe that apes could do a better job than many human politicians who are currently in charge. They definitely couldn't do any worse.
The article isn't about an iPad appearing in a film. It's about the intersection of art and technology.
As an aside, it also mentions iOS 6 anachronistically appearing onscreen in the "future" and the fact that HTC's primary prime time celebrity endorsement actually uses an iPhone.
AppleInsider is high quality news, wery good edited and I especially appreciate the short and concise introductions to every article when browsing the RSS-feed!
I also enjoy a broader view on life than just bits and bytes. Culture, technologies impact on society and other side affects of the Apple band wagon add to the value of following AI.
Additionally, noted goofs by the "dark side" makes Jake a less dull boy;-P
Considering we're already on iOS 7, that's a problem.
No, we are not on iOS7. Our society was destroyed before iOS7 was made available. The release of a viral-based experimental drug caused apes to become super-intelligent, after which they rose up against humans. The drug, which was intended as a cure for Alzheimer's and other diseases of the brain, turned out to be deadly to humans.
If you can't understand the concept of alternative timelines, then much of modern science fiction will be inaccessible to you. For example, The Difference Engine, by William Gibson and Bruce Sterling, takes place in a Victorian Britain where massive social and technological change has occurred after inventor Charles Babbage succeeded in building a working mechanical computer. If you just keep saying "but Charles Babbage never made a working mechanical computer, " then put down the novel and watch another monster truck show or Fast & Furious sequel on DVD.

Anyway, the point is that there is a weird bullying thing going on with DED's work here.
It's just the tech-geek version of Mean Girls.
Give some people anonymity and a discussion forum devolves into an online equivalent to the Lord of the Flies, regressing into savagery and bullying. I once did a little online detective work and phoned a very surprised online bully at home, asking for him by name. You would have been amazed at the transformation from online bully to scared, whimpering candy-ass.
I don't understand why people choose to read content every day that they obviously despise, and then go to the effort of making negative comments on it. I suppose the obvious answer is they get some demented pleasure from trolling.
I started frequenting AI because I got tired of reading "Why I am leaving Apple for Android" articles on other "Apple" news sites. I did not choose to linger on those sites making negative comments every day. Anyway, keep up the good work AI staff.

You can say that again. I love the originals, the Burton one reminds me of Blackberry - pure shit, and the newer ones are lacking something imo, just not sure what it is.
How much was DED or AI paid for this advertisement?
For real? Nothing probably. I mean, DED is quoting his own tweets. Whaaat? Who does that? " src="http://forums-files.appleinsider.com/images/smilies//lol.gif" />
The Foundry also sells Nuke, which is developed by some of the team behind Shake. There's a video here from The Foundry on the Planet of the Apes compositing and it's clear to see how much work goes into just one part of one scene, it doesn't even cover asset creation:
[VIDEO]
The CGI elements are rendered with Pixar's Renderman:
"Our fur and hair grooming system is called Barbershop, and it plugs into Maya and Renderman. It was written over the last several years by Alasdair Coull and a team of 5 other programmers, with input from Marco Revelant and our Modeling department. Barbershop is a “brush” based modeling tool that allows artists to manipulate a pelt of fur while visualizing and sculpting every strand of hair that will make it to the render. We also simulated wind and inertial dynamics, especially for the big orangutan Maurice, who had matted, dreadlock-like clumps of fur on his arms and legs."

I think it's pretty incredible to see these results coming from the hardware and software developments over the years when looking back at computers just 30 years ago that could do little more than process text. That kind of innovation has come from all sorts of people and Apple and the people associated with Apple played a large role in making it happen.
Do you really think that a 5-10 minute spot in a movie is worthy of a 20-paragraph article pimping said movie Daniel or are you just rushing to garner page-clicks when you really have nothing to say?
Do you think there's some value in registering your lack of respect for every article I write?
This is the first time I've ever seen Corrections refer to DED as I. Normally he refers to himself in the third person. Keep it up Daniel! No need to hide behind an alias.

It's like when a ventriloquist fails to say the dummy's line in character during an act.

Daniel and AI staff, keep up the good work.
This sort of weary-smartass cynicism is why I can't stand to read any comment threads on MacRumors. Nevermind the fact it's a worn-out cliché.
And then there's this ganging up on Dilger thing that happens. Plus more of the weary hipster cynicism.
And your need to toss out a negative comment on every single DED piece is getting strange.
Anyway, the point is that there is a weird bullying thing going on with DED's work here.

A movie has an iPad in it. Slow news day?
When did you learn humans' language? when did you learn how to type?
May I ask why you didn't say that in the article then? You could have tweeted it first so that you could quote yourself.
It's a waste of time explaining anything. A number of us got the intended message. Those who didn't just continue with their dull lives.

Thanks for the article Daniel, great insight.
As for the movie, I really enjoyed the previous one it was one of the best movies I've seen in a very long time. I'm so looking forward to this one.
