I'm pretty sure this has been noticed, but on Arrested Development, Ira Gilligan the Bluthe's accountant has a 15" Powerbook with a silver sticker over the apple logo

You see really wierd stuff here in the Middle East. There's this one commercial for Downy fabric softener in which the characters are made of cloth, sort of patchwork people. It's a boy meets girl thing in which the girl (mostly pink chiffon) keeps her face beautiful using Downy as a skin lotion. The guy (mostly blue denim) can't get enough of her soft complextion. It is in it's third iteration at the moment.

Anyway, the girl has rev c crt imac in her bedroom and, because of the color and texture, it's hard to see whether the guy's laptop is a powerbook or an ibook, but it definitely runs Os X.

I saw in the History Channel series Digging or the Truth the host uses a Titanium Powerbook. He was it in the latest episode using Wifi to find some research answers.

American Dad

In Seth McFarlane's American Dad, Haley has a G3 iMac in Blue. I guess Seth is a big mac fan and decided to draw one in it.

Star Trek: Hidden Frontier (the most successful fan-series of Star Trek) uses older PowerBooks as communication monitors in some ready rooms. It are not G4's though, I think G3's.
