I jsut saw a television commercial on the SciFi where CISCO shows a 3 second spot with a laptop computer using Wikipedia. The commercial aired at 7:33 p.m. Mountain Standard Time. There were no screen shots of Windows or any other computer software on the commercial apart from Wikipedia's logo. The laptop appeared to be a MAC but I am not certain.

Yup, Danny Wool negotiated with Cisco to use Wikipedia in the commercial.
If I remember Danny correctly, he said he got the Foundation a nice sum of moolah for it.

If you look for "the human network" at youtube, you will find a low-res version of that ad.
