Mike Rowe from Dirty Jobs has used an iBook G4 and a PowerBook G4 in some episodes if I recall correctly.
I've only seen the iBook when he answers fan mail Adam on Mythbusters uses a PowerBook as well
Got a tip for us?

Sorry guys, I looked but I can't find which of my magazines has a pic of J Allard working on his Mac.
It's somewhere on my shelf, if I find it I'll remember to post it here.

Jack Black in School of Rock uses a whole truckload of iMac g4's and PowerBook G4's as well

AFAIK, he gets all of his power from green sources, he can use as much as he wants.
Don't be so quick to judge. What if he's running it off solar power, or that new green power option thingy you can get?
I think the majority of the time, nothing at all. Most of the people making Movies and TV shows use them anyway.
If you look closely, you will see MacBook Pros or PowerBooks in many many shows, and they put an aluminium coloured sticker over the top of the logo, because it *isn't* product placement. It's just what they want to use.
On "Veronica Mars" they used to show the logo on the first couple of episodes, but then they started putting post-its on it.
I am working with a couple product placement companies right now, and according to those sources everyone pays. Unless its a very low budget production or a pilot, even the largest brands pay to have get their product on a show. Now, sometimes that payment can be something as simple as a free product but those cost money too, and if its any major show its going to cost actual money beyond that.
this doesn't necessarily apply to apple products. if you are making a film or tv show and you are dressing a set in a certain way to place people or places in a context, there is often no alternative to apple products if the context is well designed etc.
Did you see the episode two weeks ago when they spilled coffee on the MBP? I almost cried. lol
