Mac watch

Did anyone notice that the BBC's Spooks is taking a leaf out of 24's book and giving the good guys Macs and the bad guys PCs?

I'm still boggled by the idea of MI5 using iMacs. Utterly implausible but enjoyably so, much like the rest of the series. :-)

Not on the BBC - they're not allowed to do that sort of thing, because they're effectively state-funded. It's just an aesthetic decision made by the props people.You can see why, actually. It makes the MI5 office look very stylish.

My bad, I forgot it was a BBC series. :)

And I'll bet the BBC's rendition of the MI5 office is perceptibly spiffer than the real thing. :)
