Generally in those cases the manufacturer didn't pay up, so the producers blur out the logo. When you clearly see a logo (on any product, not just computers), that usually means the manufacturer paid something for the spot. Welcome to the post-TIVO world of obsessive product placement.
On a negative-connotation show like Cops, it may also be that the corporation specifically forbade the display of its logo.
