Media Shows iBook in MS Virus Story

Our friends at CNBC (MS, MSNBC affiliates) cut to video footage during the voice over for some inane banter on the status of the virus. Immediately they cut to a girl on a tangerine iBook then to an XP desktop. Apple product placement in the media gone awry, or insidious conspiracy plot against the Macintosh in big media? My money on sheer incompetence. Sorry, no screen grabs, did anyone else see it?
