Mac-wielding celebrities

ifoAppleStore is pointing to a great Flickr find today: A (blurry) snapshot of John Stewart bringing his iMac into the SoHo Genius Bar for service (how he managed to get an appointment there I'll never know). The picture reminded me of these shots of John Krasinski from NBC's The Office checking out an iPod in an unidentified New York Apple Store.

Since we don't venture out of our secret TUAW offices in the gymnasium of the abandoned parochial school with any great regularity, we don't get to see many Mac-toting celebs in the wild. So, we're posing the question to you: Have you ever made such a sighting?

"I saw character actor and film producer Bob Ballaban bringing his Powerbook into Tekserve on 23rd Street in NYC."

Tekserve rocks. I buy all my stuff there. I never deal with the insanity of an Apple store unless I have to.

Other
celebs I've met in Apple stores: Shaquille O'Neal, Mischa Barton, John Mayer, Mandy Moore, and a few others. Lots of black AmEx in southern Florida, too...

I went by Apple in Cupertino while on vacation, and Guy Kawasaki drove by and waved.

Several of the Olympic snowboarders were seen on-camera cuing up their iPods yesterday before making their runs in the competition. Wonder what's on the Playlist of Champions.

I saw Halle Barry* with her Powerbook a year back, good times...

"Ive seen Paris Hilton (yuk!) quite a few times here in LA. I'm suprized she even knows how to use the thing. I'm guessing she just likes to have the white headphones in her ears as more of a status symbol then anything."

wow... good job of jabbing your biased (yet fully wrong) opinion in there. As far as I know Paris owns and uses more tech then you could probably afford to think of, so how about you get off your lazy butt and go do something other than whine that a pretty rich girl has things you dont.

Derek, a Mac and "The Fountainhead" should never meet. Ayn Rand is the antithesis of what Steve Jobs is about.

This won't mean much to you US people, but Stephen Fry, one of the UK's greatest writers/broadcasters/filmmakers is a total mac advocate much like the great Douglas Adams was. He is the detective in "Gosford Park" and directed "Bright Young Things", and is a long time collaborator of Hugh laurie, now in "House" (he was with him at the Emmys). He was on a show called "Room 101" where celebrities put things that they hate. He is the only person yet to turn the show around and created a "Room Fluffy" for things that were good, and he put Jonathan Ives and the macintosh in as examples of greatness. Recently he sported his 15" PB on a show researching his very interesting genealogy. Since Douglas died, he's the no.2 mac advocate in the UK, after me.
