Oh, I can go worse.

If you look very carefully, a PC in the background near the end of
"GoldenEye" (a 007 film) is booting up OS/2 Warp. That has got to be one
of the most obscure (and best) underdog technology insertions ever.

> Now that we've started covering the use of vorbis in games, anyone
spotted any reference (no matter how obscure/blatant) to ogg vorbis in
films?
not yet, but maybe there will be a sequence like that in some new star
trek
movie like this:
Piccard: Data, does OGG make any meaning to you? Can we access the data
         stored in that harddisk inside the damaged vessel?
Data: Yes, a compression technique used in the beginning of the 21st
century,
      i could download the codec from the internet (whooo, mentioned the
      internet again, too!).
(Data installs ogg vorbis and plays the file).
Troy: I sense something, this sounds really good, much better than the
      mpeg28-codec that starfleet is currently using...

PS: ok, worst OT posting ever, i apologize ;)
