<p>How many apps you think the movie added to the new high of 35,000?</p>
<p>9001.</p>
<p>I applied so I could join the Phoenix Club. Derp.</p>
<p>lol…</p>
<p>I LOVED the movie but Stanford is my dream and not Harvard 
I liked the movie because my dream job is to be a Software Engineer at Facebook, or Apple.</p>
<p>(Ew, Apple.)
NGL, I applied just because I love Facebook. /anachronism</p>
<p>Lol…I read StanfordCS’ post way too quickly, and I thought it said “I liked the movie because my dream job is to be an Apple.”…woops >.<</p>
<p>^^^ LOL.</p>
<p>StanfordCS, I love apple too! I’d LOVE to work there.</p>
<p>Sorry, but the vast majority of people that idolize Apple are soft-minded and brainwashed by their admittedly superior marketing. I know because I USED to be one of them. I bought a MacBook Pro two years ago and subsequently owned WORST computer that I’ve ever had. I had to take it back to the Apple store eight times for three different issues (four times out-of-warranty, so I paid over $400 in repairs). So much for the superior build quality and customer service. It was probably decades ago, but after their massive gain in popularity they started cutting corners in production and service. The Foxconn suicide/labor conditions incident speaks for itself. Luckily I sold just my MBP.</p>
<p>Anyway, back on topic: my guess is 500.</p>
<p>^Aw, MBP’s aren’t that bad! (even if the whole unibody build wasn’t the smartest idea…)</p>
<p>I’d actually be frightened if more people applied because of that movie. At most, I would wildly speculate that approximately 30,000 people applied due to the movie alone.</p>
<p>^ I love Macbooks, much better than PC’s. PC’s tend to attract viruses, and there is not a really a “MacBook Virus”. Windows Vista and 7 are just plain crap there are too many errors in the software. I have owned my MBP for about 4 years now and not experienced ONE issue. I am due for an upgrade but waiting for the 2012 edition when they re-vamp the entire machine, i.e. new design maybe a separate SSD containing OS.</p>
<p>I have a 15" MBP with a bunch of upgrades and have two 27" monitors.</p>
<p>By far the best laptop I’ve owned. Also cost almost 3k for the laptop alone. Could’ve done it substantially cheaper by upgrading the RAM myself (from four to eight) but that’s what warrants the higher price-tags in any macs: convenience and aesthetics. </p>
<p>…More so on the latter.</p>
<p>Also, not to thread-jack, but didn’t Inception get ROBBED for best soundtrack by The Social Network? Crazy.</p>
<p>I have a (cheaper than my iPod) Netbook that runs XP. I might change to Linux, but to a computer that costs five to ten times as much? My Chibicomputer runs fine. MacBooks are overpriced and they still don’t last as long as my cheap-o.</p>
<p>RAM is expensive depending on which your computer requires DDR2 or DDR3, DDR3 is outrageously expensive, I have a PC that I use strictly on the basis for gaming. The PC is an Intel Core i7 980X (may upgrade to Gulftown), using the dominator i7 ram I believe clocked at 1600. (I built it from scratch) I have installed 24GB DDR3 Random Access Memory it costed me 3K for just the RAM. The processor was another 1000, the SSD’s another 2K, graphics card is the fermi based nVidia 580. </p>
<p>Computer is a BEAST but I hate using Windows.</p>
<p>…lol, literally just watched it for the first time and then saw this thread…</p>
<p>But I would say that there’s got to be at least some people who applied just because of the movie.</p>
<p>Apple is okay…
To work at Google would be Heaven :)</p>
<p>Google is pretty cool too however, they underpay so many of their employees.</p>
<p>For example couple of my dads friends one is currently employed at Google and the other at Apple </p>
<p>They both do the same job but for different companies, the one at Apple earns 400K and Google is about 320K. That is just base salary.</p>
<p>^
Eh, are they like CEOs or something? Average Apple and Google engineers earn 100k-135k, kiddo.</p>

<p>320 K? He’s really getting ripped off.</p>
<p>No they are both the head of Software Engineering Directors.</p>
<p>One I know graduated from Harvard (Google)</p>
<p>The other I believe graduated from MIT or Stanford I am not sure on this one though</p>
<p><strong>I will ask my dad when he comes home from work</strong></p>
