Did anyone just see on MSNBC they were talking about geotags and such and they showed a computer screen and they were using Ubuntu! I think this is the first time have seen Ubuntu on TV.

Has anyone else seen Ubuntu on TV? And if so where and when?

At the 1:00 mark and about 1:07 you can clearly see the Ubuntu Radiance theme.

I 'heard' it on an episode of 'Big Bang Theory'. Hadn't seen it, though. That's was very cool.

It was Sheldon who said it, I saw the video.

He was using a red AlienWare 17inch computer and said, "Oooh Ubuntu - my favorite Linux operating system".

Not much after that though.

Edit: Not sure of the quality of the video, but this is it:
