No, Apple doesn't use the TPM (otherwise the hackentosh guys would be DOA and Paystar wouldn't even exist). I'd have to double check, but I don't think Apple even has the TPM modules on any Mac motherboards. For all they get slammed for being proprietary jerks, they really aren't. They could have gone after the hackentosh guys at any time but didn't. They may eventually be forced to by Paystar and the EFF - if you want to get pissy with someone, get pissy with those two for pushing things.
