Apple never approaches companies to do product placements. They want to use Macs in their TV shows, and they pay Apple to do so. Even that Modern Family episode where they ruthlessly promoted the iPad, they paid Apple.

This was a shameless plug, and you can tell by the horrible cover-up writing that the character is trying to talk about the abilities of the phone "I'll just write on Hannah's wall from here", to which the other character asks "if she's not replying to texts why would she check her wall"... GOOD QUESTION. Because it's shameless fucking promotion, bitch! ]]>Jun 30th 2010 10:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/30/screen-grabs-pretty-little-liars-is-tvs-newest-home-to-egregio/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/30/screen-grabs-pretty-little-liars-is-tvs-newest-home-to-egregio/

I don't have an iphone or a kin. but the kin sucks, the iphone doesnt -if engadget wants to tell people that, good for them. if you care so much about a few bloggers promoting a phone . . . I suggest you go camping and get your mind off it!]]>Jun 30th 2010 12:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/30/screen-grabs-pretty-little-liars-is-tvs-newest-home-to-egregio/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/30/screen-grabs-pretty-little-liars-is-tvs-newest-home-to-egregio/Jun 30th 2010 5:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/30/screen-grabs-pretty-little-liars-is-tvs-newest-home-to-egregio/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/30/screen-grabs-pretty-little-liars-is-tvs-newest-home-to-egregio/
Yeah Modern Family didn't have a episode pushing the iPad, or Colbert pushing it on the Grammies and his show. Or any of the other breathless hacks ad nausem in the weeks before. Journalists? lol thats a good one. Even PBS shilled for it.]]>Jun 30th 2010 5:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/30/screen-grabs-pretty-little-liars-is-tvs-newest-home-to-egregio/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/30/screen-grabs-pretty-little-liars-is-tvs-newest-home-to-egregio/
You are the ejit who brought up apple. ]]>Jun 30th 2010 5:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/30/screen-grabs-pretty-little-liars-is-tvs-newest-home-to-egregio/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/30/screen-grabs-pretty-little-liars-is-tvs-newest-home-to-egregio/
Apple is the leader of product placement in shows and movies, and that's without mentioning the unrivaled media hype the company for various reasons, some of which I can point out. Bringing Apple into this is very valid. In fact, NOT bringing it up shows bias.]]>Jun 30th 2010 7:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/30/screen-grabs-pretty-little-liars-is-tvs-newest-home-to-egregio/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/30/screen-grabs-pretty-little-liars-is-tvs-newest-home-to-egregio/
Well said man. Apple gets a very disproportionate amount of screen time on tv.

People forget the real reason TV exists.]]>Jun 30th 2010 10:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/30/screen-grabs-pretty-little-liars-is-tvs-newest-home-to-egregio/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/30/screen-grabs-pretty-little-liars-is-tvs-newest-home-to-egregio/Jun 30th 2010 6:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/30/screen-grabs-pretty-little-liars-is-tvs-newest-home-to-egregio/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/30/screen-grabs-pretty-little-liars-is-tvs-newest-home-to-egregio/
"Any time you have to actually name the product or its features, you [blew it]."]]>Jun 30th 2010 6:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/30/screen-grabs-pretty-little-liars-is-tvs-newest-home-to-egregio/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/30/screen-grabs-pretty-little-liars-is-tvs-newest-home-to-egregio/"Any time you have to actually name the product or its features, you failed" I can agree to that somewhat, since the show now has a commercial embedded on it, but on the other hand, when MBPs, iPhones, and Sony, HP, and Cisco products have placements the product has the company logo front and center, making it hard to miss. Remember the first chapter of Transformers, when the HP laptop had the huge logo on it, or whenever they do some sort of video chatting on a movie the UI has a big Cisco logo somewhere, and in movies from columbia pictures the Sony logos shine and really stand out, but with the kin all you've got is a plain black face, no logo, therefore the only way to actually do product placement would be by saying it. I mean outside of the tech world (and we all have high end smart phones), who knows about the kin (not their target consumer).

Also on the data thing, it may be $30, but why are you all complaining, it consumes data regardless. While a lower monthly on the kin would have been nice, the kin theoretically will consume the same, if not more data than other phones (it uploads all your pics to the web).]]>Jun 30th 2010 9:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/30/screen-grabs-pretty-little-liars-is-tvs-newest-home-to-egregio/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/30/screen-grabs-pretty-little-liars-is-tvs-newest-home-to-egregio/Jun 30th 2010 6:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/30/screen-grabs-pretty-little-liars-is-tvs-newest-home-to-egregio/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/30/screen-grabs-pretty-little-liars-is-tvs-newest-home-to-egregio/
Guess it's back to watching reruns of old shows on Hulu plus... I hope Saved by the Bell will be included!]]>Jun 30th 2010 8:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/30/screen-grabs-pretty-little-liars-is-tvs-newest-home-to-egregio/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/30/screen-grabs-pretty-little-liars-is-tvs-newest-home-to-egregio/
I don't see the problem. It's more realistic to have people talk about products and use actual products than to use fake mockups that draw attention to themselves by being such.]]>Jun 30th 2010 9:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/30/screen-grabs-pretty-little-liars-is-tvs-newest-home-to-egregio/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/30/screen-grabs-pretty-little-liars-is-tvs-newest-home-to-egregio/Jun 30th 2010 10:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/30/screen-grabs-pretty-little-liars-is-tvs-newest-home-to-egregio/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/30/screen-grabs-pretty-little-liars-is-tvs-newest-home-to-egregio/Jun 30th 2010 10:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/30/screen-grabs-pretty-little-liars-is-tvs-newest-home-to-egregio/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/30/screen-grabs-pretty-little-liars-is-tvs-newest-home-to-egregio/Jun 30th 2010 10:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/30/screen-grabs-pretty-little-liars-is-tvs-newest-home-to-egregio/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/30/screen-grabs-pretty-little-liars-is-tvs-newest-home-to-egregio/Jun 30th 2010 11:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/30/screen-grabs-pretty-little-liars-is-tvs-newest-home-to-egregio/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/30/screen-grabs-pretty-little-liars-is-tvs-newest-home-to-egregio/Jun 30th 2010 11:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/30/screen-grabs-pretty-little-liars-is-tvs-newest-home-to-egregio/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/30/screen-grabs-pretty-little-liars-is-tvs-newest-home-to-egregio/
