Where to find summer internships?

Since many colleges finish classes as early as May, now is the time to start looking for a summer internship. I have compiled a list of websites that aggregate internships available from various companies:

internbound.com
myedu.com
aftercollege.com
internmatch.com

It is also necessary to look at the website of a particular company that you are interested in. For example, you can find an Apple internship here:

For motivation, you can watch the movie "The Internship." Highly recommended! Please post a comment here if you know of other places to find internships.
