If you see the movie, pay attention to the classroom scene just after Ben gets beaten up and you can clearly see jl's book. I thought it was pretty cool.

I can't imagine Jessica spending her time on product injection, so there must have been a fan on the set.

Product injection sometimes works both ways - Indie film-makers have to purposely hide mainstream logo'd stuff or they'll get in legal murky waters - as in if you have a Coke bottle prominently visible you are implying that Coke might have something to do with your little film..

I'm thinking Jessica did a multi-million dollar product placement deal. Well played!

For being a wide-release, mainstream movie, they nailed the geek stuff pretty well.

Except for the bit about taking two weeks to get a new EEPROM fabricated.
