Big Brother Uses A Mac (With Pics)
Mac Sightings - Big Brother Uses A Mac (With Pics)
by , 8:00 AM EDT, July 9th, 2001
The ever observant Observer Justin sent us a pretty nifty Mac sighting this weekend from the set of Big Brother 2 via the new reality show's Web site. Big Brother 2 is offering a Flash tour (via a floor plan) of the compound where the show is taking place. By clicking on any of the rooms, you get a panoramic view (similar to a QuickTime VR view) directly below the main floor plan. If you click on a room labeled "Head of the Household" at the bottom of the floor plan, you will find the camera looking straight at a bed. If you move the panoramic view left or right, you will come to a desk with a monitor on it that includes a nifty Mac OS 9 screen shot. Here's a couple of screen shots for those who don't want to bother with actually finding it:

Thanks to Observer Justin for the eagle eyes, the pics, and the note!
If you have a Mac sighting, let us know.
The Mac Observer Spin:
This product placement isn't likely to sell any product for Apple, despite the enormous popularity of the reality shows, but we appreciate it anyway. We commend Observer Justin nonetheless for spotting a rather fleeting Mac appearance! We also want to offer a Mac Observer Salute to the Mac brother or sister on the inside of Big Brother 2 who managed to get the nice Mac OS 9 screen shot in this tour.Observer Comments
