Hawaii Five-0 goes FaceTime on the small screen
As noted by Laura at Engadget this morning, we had a FaceTime sighting on CBS's so-old-it's-brand-new reboot of the classic cop drama Hawaii Five-0. You can see in the screenshot here that a somewhat puffy-looking Scott Cohen (low camera angle from iPhone = not all that flattering) is engaging in a video chat with another character; for the rendition in motion, CBS is streaming full episodes of the show here (of course it's also available on iTunes, along with the original Jack Lord series). We're always on the lookout for the uses and misuses of Apple products on TV and in the movies, so be sure to send us a note if you see something engaging or amusing.

We hope everything went well. [Thanks, Silvio]
