I don't know if this has been discussed before, but in the Ironman movie, Tony Stark appears to use a lot of Macs (judging from the Apple logos behind his monitors in his basement lab) and by the futuristic OS in his office desktop computer. While the monitor in his office shows the Dell label, I saw a futuristic Dock with icons lined up on the right side of the screen just like the current OS X.

    Maybe John Favreau has a few buddies at Apple...

    LOL yeah it was cool he uses a lot of Macs (displays anyway) in his lab -- where the real action happens ... His office computer appeared to be running some sort of custom (Unix based???) OS ... He could be using Linux at work.

    It's called "Placement" and companies pay LOTS of money to have their products displayed in a movie.

    I also noticed his use of in-air Gestures® when working with the blueprints for the suit.



    Joking of course, but that would be sweet to be able to switch from monitors to that display table like that...

    Think of the *ahem* more *ahem* exotic applications of the Gestures table.

    A new OS from Apple with 3D/Hologram technology? Sign me up! I noticed the product placement as well. If only it were real. Alas.
