Brazilian diva photographed for Apple Mac campaign
A popular Brazilian supermodel was recently photographed by Apple Computer for an advertising campaign that will plug the company's line of Intel-based Mac computers, AppleInsider has been able to confirm.
Rolling Stone cover girl Gisele Bundchen was reportedly contracted by the Cupertino, Calif.-based Mac maker for the shoot, which took place in Manhattan last week.
On her official web site, Bundchen briefly mentioned that she had recently been photographed by Apple. However, the blurb was removed without explanation.
The 25-year old diva is rumored to have been compensated handsomely for her part in the new campaign. According to Vogue magazine, she is believed to have pocketed "more than a million" for the shoot.
Bundchen has been named "Model of the Year" and "The Most Beautiful Girl in the World" by Rolling Stone. Her portfolio includes appearances in ads for such brands as Victoria's Secret, Louis Vuitton and Versace.
Though primarily a model, Bundchen has also dabbled in the acting business. She starred in the 2004 film "Taxi" and most recently played a part in the 2006 flick "The Devil Wears Prada."
Word of her photo-shoot with Apple was first pointed out by Apple rumor site MacRumors.
It's unclear where and when the ads will be run.
Apple is currently running a national ad campaign that highlights the stability and simplicity of the Mac while poking fun at the shortcomings of the average Windows PC.

it said, "photographed". Not filmed.
Right, this is the "print ad" version of the "Get a Mac" campaign.
It is a simple photograph with two women and a white background:
Giseles Bundchen's caption reads, "Hi, I'm a Mac."
Hillary Clinton's caption reads, "And I'm a PC."
Simple, yet effective!

Gisele is of German heritage so her family name is Bündchen and not Bundchen.

Dave, just a note of advice...it's not a good idea to have your telephone number in your sig. You should remove it.
Ease up on the umlaut. Most news sources in the United States don't use diacriticals, except for the "ñ" in Spanish and the occasional accent mark. She's Brazilian and this article is in the US, so Bundchen is fine. If this was a German article, it'd be different.

Her swimsuit shots reveal a figure that's a little too Kate Moss/Twiggy-like, with a waist that's too wide, hips that are too narrow and legs like sticks.
Girl from Zoolander
He's almost too good-looking.
That would be my main deterrent... in considering a relationship.

"Okay"? Nothing personal, but you, sir, are an idiot.
If you like stringbeans, that's your taste. But you reveal nothing except your own stupidity if you think only with your balls.

But it's so easy to put in on a Mac, so why not show off that capability?

For one reason, if you start trying to use accented characters in forums like these, a lot of the time you run into inconsistent character encoding issue, and what you typed as a u-with-umlaut get turned into something like a capital Icelandic Thorn or a Euro symbol or the like.
Your post might look fine to you after you submit it, but when someone else using another browser looks at it, they'll see weird crap in place of your fastidious accenting. I see this happen a lot when someone posts texts with curly quotes instead of straight quotes, where the same character encoding issues apply.
The only safe way to get something like u-with-umlaut is to type out the HTML entity code like this: ü -> ü
