One for the AppleSpotters=81:

If you put on Stereolab's Dots&Loops album, I dont remember exactly-  but 
about track 2 or 3, if you turn it up about 2.5 or 3.5 minutes into one 
of those tracks ( I want to say its Miss Modular), youll hear the very 
distict sound of "Windowshading" (the sound the Mac makes when you 
double-click a windows title-bar)  mixed in with other noise.  Throughout 
Dots and loops you can hear Launcher-button clicks a  couple of times as 
well.  Not knowing this coupled with being all alone in the house with an 
herbalized brain really had me freaking for a few minutes!  I was in the 
next room and thought for sure someone had broken in and was hiding my 
windows!
