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:

https://www.foothill.edu/internships/stem.php
internbound.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:
http://www.apple.com/jobs/us/students.html

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.
