Because all the actors couldn’t be in the same place at the same time, due to their schedules. It’s in the article.

Why was he abducted? Did they just want a child that badly? It sounds like he was brought up relatively safely by his abductors.

Yes — I would count giving away hardware as “paying” but it’s a trivial cost compared to most product placement deals.

The fact is that Apple doesn’t pay large amounts of cash to have their products featured. They just supply and give away the hardware. I suspect the deal with Nvidia and Shield is a paid placement (unless giving away the Shield was enough of a payment, but I doubt it).

It may be different though because Apple doesn’t pay to have their products featured in movies and TV shows (unless you count giving away the hardware as “paying”). It sounds like Nvidia might be explicitly paying for its placement of Shield.

“Apple won’t pay to have their products featured, but they are more than willing to hand out an endless amount of computers, iPads and iPhones,” said Gavin Polone, producer of HBO’s Curb Your Enthusiasm. “It’s kind of a graft situation.”

They do, but I don’t have an urgent need to buy them — perhaps because I just play it for myself, not to beat others’ high scores. I just find it to be a nice surprise when I can afford one.
