Apple as a Jeopardy category
Oh, the one night I don't watch Jeopardy, Apple was featured as a full-fledged category! According to the Deep Thought
forums, the episode that aired on December 13, 2005 offered a category called "The Apple of my eye" to
contestants, featuring the following answers and questions:- An Asian feline that shares a name with the latest Mac OS X version: What is Tiger?
- The type of computers the iBook and PowerBook are: What are laptops?
- This man has a salary of $1: Who is Steve Jobs?
- This product shares its name with a place where aircraft take flight: What is Airport?
- A “speedy” product that works on the Mac or PC: What is QuickTime?

If you're going to do an Apple category, kick it up a notch... This co-creator of the Apple computer has been virtually forgotten by the mainstream media... This former Pepsi exec damn near killed the company.... The appeal of this early Apple PDA seemed particularly vulnerable to the physical force its namesake is credited with discovering... This company has traditionally waited for Apple to dramatically improve their operating systems, then proceeded to integrate cheap knockoffs of these innovations in their own OS.... This company's legal department will likely sue Viacomm for using its name in a Jeopardy category....

Well, maybe they'd throw in a "Who is Jonathan Ive?" as a daily double, just to throw everyone off. =)
