Apple as a Jeopardy category

jeopardyOh, 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?
So, did anyone see it? I'll take "Episodes of Jeopardy I wish I didn't miss for $500," Alex.

"Wow, I'll take "I Point Out Stupid Details, and Correct People to Make Myself Look Smarter for $12.59, Alex"" Apparently my usage of a smiley face was lost on you. And you forgot your period. Douche.

I've got it DVRed at home... if everyone would like a chance to see it, I will capture it and try to post it somewhere handy.

I heard it as I was stuffing my face in the kitchen, from the kitchen TV. So, no, I didn't see it.

These seem to be pretty elementary questions for Jeopardy.... I'm a little disappointed. 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, we know that Apple didn't have any influence over this category because, if they did, every answer - err, sorry, question - would be "Who is Steve Jobs?" Well, maybe they'd throw in a "Who is Jonathan Ive?" as a daily double, just to throw everyone off. =)

Clearly, now, we should have Jeopardy available on the iTMS...
