MacBook Pro, music video star
We tweeted this last week, but it seemed worth a second mention: New York-based hip-hop artists DeScribe and Y-Love have released their video for the new single "Change," prominently featuring a trio of MacBook Pro machines. While many computers appearing in videos are idle or showing mocked-up graphics, these machines are in active use -- Y-Love is apparently busy monitoring his Twitter feed via the Adobe AIR-based client TweetDeck.
For more Mac & PC appearances on film and TV, check out Starring the Computer (via Ars), a compendium of technology cameos. You can also see the first music video recorded on an iPhone and a tour of Mac OS in song via past posts... but if you love your Mac as much as this woman does, maybe you should record your own video.

I usually don't like this type of music. But I've to admin, it quite a decent song! BTW, these are the old Macbook Pro's?

Yes, those are previous generation (pre-unibody) models. Not 100% sure all three of them are MBPs.

I'm not a huge hip-hop fan but I actually think it's kind of catchy. Of course, it helps to know Hebrew if you want to understand the chorus.
So far the iTunes reviews are pretty good:

Chorus is:
If I forget you, O Jerusalem, let my right hand wither; Let my tongue stick to my palate if I cease to think of you,
if I do not keep Jerusalem in memory even at my happiest hour.
It's the same chorus that Matisyahu uses in 'Jerusalem'

I generally hate hip hop but this was too damned catchy to miss. I actually went and bought it off iTunes halfway through the video.

Macs are used in high-profile movies & music videos all of the time, yet they're seen in a few clips of an unknown hebrew rapper's music video and that's TUAW newsworthy. Lame.

The music is terrible, though.

This is so Jewish it's unbelievable.
It think Matisyahu's got some competition.
